Real World Consequences – The Hugh Hewitt Show
On Tuesday we looked at how academia had become nonsensical. Yesterday we looked at how NYC is trying purposefully trying do away with academic excellence. A lot of people look the other way at stuff like this recalling how little education…
The End Of Excellence – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I thought it a cliché – the idea that socialism leveled the playing field by tearing down excellence. I thought the real issue with socialism was simply demotivating excellence. Ambition died when outcomes were always the same. Turns out I…
Studied, Yet Stupid
Sunday, Steven Hayward published a piece about some of the sillier output from academia of late. The relationship between pregnancy and higher mathematics, an abstract basically about a specific form of Latin music that simply makes no sense,…
It’s Not Really About Immigration
Do you remember Scott Pruitt? You should. He was Trump’s very first EPA Chief Administrator and he was driven from that office in about a year. Oh, there were all sorts of reasons why in the media and in the minds of Democrats, but in the end…

When The Host Is Wrong…
…He is very wrong. Yesterday when Michael Duncan was on the show (a regular as one of the guys from the Ruthless podcast) the host tried to make fun of Duncan’s Hoosier heritage, in light of Indiana’s overwhelming football National Championship…
Origins Matter
The narrative in Minneapolis has now laser focused on the death of Alex Pretti. I tend to presume law enforcement acted properly until extensively proven otherwise. I admit the video is damning, but it is also not clear exactly what was going…
