It’s remarkable that evangelicals are the largest religious group in America and have a relatively minor impact on elite discourse. Even on the Right, where the evangelicals are concentrated, it seems that Catholics, Jews, and secularists have far more presence. Why?

Trump is about to deal a death blow to affirmative action in college admissions. Executive order incoming.

I interviewed Taylor Lorenz, who told me that woke is over and wrestled with the moral question: Would the assassination of Brian Thompson be justified if it led to a single payer health system?

De Crevecoeur answered this question beautifully in the 1780s. America is neither blood and soil, nor a set of abstract ideals, but a synthesis: a mixed European people with an Anglo system of government and an open frontier, which created a culture of freedom and equality.

She just keeps winning, and it is incredible. Welcome to the right-wing civil rights regime: colorblind equality is now the ruling standard.

Conservatives should not forget that there has been virtually no blowback to defunding NPR. In the past, the Left would claim that Republicans wanted to execute Big Bird, and Republicans would dutifully back down. Not anymore. Simple principle: stop sending cash to your enemies.

EXCLUSIVE: @Rk_Thorpe and I have discovered that Jamaal Bowman, the former principal who could become chancellor of New York City Schools under Zohran Mamdani, operated a public school without a license for almost two years—in flagrant violation of state law.

On Friday, the George Mason Board of Visitors will have the opportunity to fire Gregory Washington, and they should take it. Washington is not "defending university policies"; he is defending racial discrimination and brazen violations of the Civil Rights Act. He has to go.

George Mason president Gregory Washington oversaw a system of intentional, explicit, and widespread racial discrimination. He has brazenly violated the Civil Rights Act and he must resign immediately, or the board of trustees should terminate his employment for misconduct.

I once spent a summer in Nigeria and was feeling stir-crazy in my host's walled compound, so persuaded the driver to take us out into the provinces. Met some villagers, who told me their tribe used to perform human sacrifice until the chief converted to Christianity. On the way back, we were held up at gunpoint on the highway, across which a group of bandits had felled a tree and burned some tires. We negotiated a fee to pass, I think it was less than $100. On the way back, we stopped to see a large rock, which my driver said was famous for some reason. That summer, we smoked a lot of grass to pass the time and, after the hold-up, mostly stayed on Lekki Island with Nigeria's elites. Towards the end of the trip, I went to a party and realized I was the poorest person there.
