Perspectives on History and Herstory

Whenever James roams for the week, a dilemma emerges. How do we make up for his erudition and charm? This time we reached out for a northerner from across the pond. Our guest is Niall Ferguson, one of the few men alive truly qualified to explain the subtleties of consensus misinterpretations of history–and the consequences. Are western leaders making foolhardy wagers in Ukraine? And if so, what’s informing them? Tune in to get a take from “the world’s most useful historian.”

Further, Peter and Rob give their unscientific answers to the curiously controversial woman question, their thoughts on our presumed new Supreme Court Justice; plus the state of the Oscars and movies themselves.

Music from this week’s podcast: I’m Every Woman by Whitney Houston

    There is too much crazy stuff in here for me to highlight it. Scan it yourself.

     

    President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is involved in an anti-racist agreement that all parents of children at Georgetown Day School (GDS) must sign for enrollment, according to documents obtained by Breitbart News.

    Jackson has been a board of trustees member at GDS since 2019 and a member of the Georgetown Day School community for about a decade.

    While Jackson denied to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that Critical Race Theory (CRT) is taught at the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS)-affiliated GDS during last week’s Senate confirmation hearing, the school demands that all parents sign a form called “New Enrollment Contract Clause,” which states the school has “made a commitment to work actively against individual and systemic racism.”

     

    The newly obtained documents and information acquired by Breitbart News fly in the face of what Jackson told Cruz during his line of committee questioning at Jackson’s confirmation hearings.

    … And this may be considered a bad sign!
