Noah Carl is a Hero

Noah Carl is a recent Ph.D. graduate who was subjected to an Antifa attack at Cambridge University, which had hired him as a research fellow. The reason for the attack is that Carl researches IQ, concerning which the left prefers superstition to science. Dan Klein has written a piece about Carl's case at the James G. Martin Center. Klein has forwarded a Crowdfunding link, which will enable Carl to pursue a case. 

Twilight of the Fake News Media




Mark Levin's new book raises important questions about the structure of the current news media.  The television stations were granted monopolies in the 1930s, and political support for the Democratic Party was an illegal precondition.  As well, the cable firms have been granted local monopolies, which are illegal because the firms are partisan in the information that they carry. The time has come to investigate the illegal use of public subsidy for partisan purposes and to use the anti-trust laws to balance the electronic news system.   Recent hearings in the Senate suggest that similar steps may need to be taken by tech firms like Google that use publicly subsidized infrastructure and air waves.

The Democratic Party Then and Now

Marcus Licinius Crassus*
Kamal Harris
I had Fox News on while working on my computer.   I was unnerved by the complacent, far-left  orientation of the second Democratic presidential debate. If this is what America's political system is producing, even given that the Democrats are the left party, the country is in serious trouble. 

We are looking at the stage of Roman decline when the plebeian party, the Populares, formed the First Triumverate and established the pathway to empire. We're well on the way to a Caesarean dictatorship. 

What I'm thinking is that establishing a second residence overseas will be a useful insurance policy.  Perhaps I can find a country that gives free healthcare to illegal aliens and isn't dominated by predatory criminals like Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden.


*They hadn't invented the steam engine yet, but dictator wannabes were as prevalent then as they are now.

The Glazov Gang's "Mitchell Langbert Moment"

Jamie Glazov of the Glazov Gang asked me to do a podcast on how conservatives can apply Alinsky's tactics in Rules for Radicals.  I will be doing a follow-up video on why universities became radical.
