As the Marx Brothers said, there ain't no sanity clause--but these are my latest thoughts about politics, policy, culture, books and other stuff.

About A Willow Tree (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My recent piece about Nikole Hannah-Jones’ capricious placement of her daughter in an terrible Brooklyn elementary school led to a realization: I’ve been working on a book review with a similar theme, the disasters that left-extremists visit upon the children. The book. is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=zayd+ayers+dohrn+book&adgrpid=1339207745343416&gb=2&hvadid=83700772452491&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=101424&hvnetw=o&hvocijid=9505672857729703738--&hvqmt=p&hvtargid=kwd-837017201843

Read excerpt
Nikole Hannah Jones is at it again. The propagator of the NY Times 1619 Project, she has produced a piece titled, “In fighting for every black kid, Did I Betray My Own?” It is defective—indeed, misleading—on many grounds, a shocking combination of terrible ideology, terrible parenting and terrible journalism. I’m proud to have been published by the New York Times, occasionally, for the past 50 years. It is a great newspaper. But the Times has a blind spot: the closer it gets to home, geog

Read excerpt
I stopped making predictions about politics on the day in 2000 that John McCain trounced George W. Bush in the New Hampshire primary. I was standing with a young, pre-CNN Jake Tapper, who asked me—I was a campaign grizzly, even then—whether George W. Bush was toast. “Yup,” I said, perhaps realizing immediately how stupid that was—or perhaps not. It certainly was apparent within a matter of days. Bush trounced McCain in South Carolina and everywhere else. And I vowed: No more predictions. Journal
AI-Yai-Yai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon shared the podium yesterday at a scare-event about the future of Artificial Intelligence. They reminded me, as Bernie and Bannon often do, of the political state of play at the turn of the 20th century. They are populist anachronisms. AI is a classic issue and, at the same time, the very opposite of an anachronism. At its heart is the fundamental question: What are your feelings about the human race? Optimist or pessimist, or some shade in between? (Spoiler alert:
Summer of Mush (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a theory. We’re in another period of stasis. Nothing much is happening, in politics at least. The economy remains surprisingly buoyant—check today’s new jobs numbers. Inflation bobs along, a low-grade fever. The expected tariff-driven chaos remains just around the corner. As Friedrich Hayek might once have said—I can’t find the reference—the free market is far too complex for government to understand; government’s effect on an economy is that of a breeze through a tree. I will add a monst
