They hate him because he’s figured out how to route around their corruption and opposition to western civilization.

John Cox
Can he beat Gavin Newsom in California for governor?
I sure hope so. We are in weird political times, but it will take a smart campaign. Given that stupid jungle-primary rule, Republicans have to be happy they even have a candidate in the race. They don’t in the Senate.
Antifa
Is it the future of the Democrats?
I hope so, because if so, it means, finally, the death of this old horrific, racist, and now totalitarian political party.
Penn Jillette
An interesting candid interview, with bonus knowledgable commentary on the crudeness of Trump.
[Update late afternoon]
Sorry about originally misspelling his name “Gillette.” Guess it’s because I’ve always thought he was a pretty sharp guy.
The Great White Culture War
An important piece from David French.
On a related note, it occurs to me that one could probably find things that Hitler said about the Jews that are analogous to things that the current leftist fascists say about whites (and Jews).
The History “Profession”
Something is badly amiss in it:
A big theme of MacLean’s book is that Buchanan inspired an effort to promote an anti-democratic putsch by the Koch Brothers. As Ilya Somin has explained, her conception of democracy doesn’t make any sense, at least if one assumes that she supports standard limits on democracy widely supported by progressives. But other historians have come to the rescue, arguing that the United States is a democracy when it follows the will of the people, as opposed to the will of organized reactionary interest groups. The U.S., for example, was democratic in the 1930s and 1960s, but not in the 1950s or 1980s. Democracy, in other words, means “progressive politics are winning out.” Lack of democracy means “progressive politics are not winning out.” Because in a true democracy, the will of the people wins, and the will of the people is naturally liberal-democratic-socialist. So Roe v. Wade is a “democratic” decision, even though it overturned the abortion laws of almost every state, because progressives approve of it. I kid you not.
The leftist narrative must triumph over truth or logic.
Poetic Justice
In which another male #MeTooer gets to live in a world he helped to create.
Suicide Of The West
If you have an hour or so, an interesting discussion between Nick Gillespie and Jonah Goldberg.
Sarah Jeong
Her hire by the NYT editorial board seems to have become the story of the day. Thoughts from Robbie Soave.
[Friday-afternoon update]
The New York Times stands by its decision to hire Josef Stalin as part of its editorial board.
I have to say that the Babylon Bee is giving The Onion a run for its money lately.

[Update a few minutes later]
No, it wasn’t just a few hateful tweets. She seems like kind of an awful person. And hey, NYT, you want more Trump? Because this is how you get more Trump.
[Update a couple minutes later]
And more thoughts from Andrew Sullivan. Yes, she is a racist, easily recognizable as such by anyone not insanely leftist. Or if she’s not, she certainly does a great impersonation.
[Update Saturday morning]
Jim Treacher: The NYT has the right to hire racists. Yes, they’re finally being more transparent.
[Sunday-morning update]
Sarah Jeong is a sign of something very wrong with the Left:
Jeong was just exploring the space of this privileged position, secure that she could say just about anything without fear of blowback. Indeed, she had many defenders who refused to even acknowledge the possibility of another point of view about what she’d said. When you start from the premise that one group of people can’t be offended, you naturally wind up at the conclusion that anyone who says otherwise is being dishonest.
And that, leftists, is how you get more Trump. I’ve observed for decades that white men, and particularly Christians, is the last acceptable form of bigotry. Except they’re not accepting it any more.
