Speaking of education, I caught Michael Totten’s latest column at World Affairs Journal about this group of twenty-odd American yo-yos who’ve gone to a conference in Iran against police brutality and racism. No, not Iranian policy brutality and racism. American police brutality and racism. Mike, reporting this with the journalistic equivalent of a straight face, notes that, […]

Yesterday, CNN reported that US intelligence believes ISIS brought down Kogalymavia Flight 9268 — the Russian airline out of Egypt — with a bomb. This morning, the WSJ reports that the United Kingdom has come to the same conclusion and has grounded all flights out of Sharm El Sheikh, where the flight originated (there are thousands of Brits there currently on […]

On September 20, the New York Times published a story titled “U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies.”  In it, writer Joseph Goldstein details the sickening culture in Afghanistan of child rape by members of the Afghan military: Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, […]

As refugees from the Middle East continue to pour into Europe, it’s worth taking a moment to remember that this is all a predictable consequence of President Obama’s foreign policy (or lack thereof). As I note in my new column for Defining Ideas: Though few predicted the rapidity with which the situation would degenerate, it was […]

I really don’t give a damn what Donald Trump said about Carly Fiorina’s face. Nor do I much care about what he might have said before about Dr. Carson. Those, and a few other tidbits, seem to be what the media consider important and feed us. The only importance they seem to attach to dissent […]

We all laugh at The New York Times, but Rukmini Callimachi’s reporting reminds me of its ability to be a great newspaper. Her story today on the front page is so sickening that even the Times’ loyal readers — to judge by the comments — are beginning to grasp that some problems in the world are morally […]

As a bonus, for Ricochet members, here’s the extended release — I’ve included the parts that woudn’t fit into their space constraints: ———————————————————– In Turkey, it’s all about the palace Erdoğan’s message to Turks: Vote correctly next […]

According to The New York Times, Turkey plunged into the fight against the Islamic State on Thursday, rushing forces into the first direct combat with its militants on the Syrian border and granting permission for American warplanes to use two Turkish air bases for bombarding the group in Syria. … Preview Open
