A follow-up on my post about racism in law enforcement

  • Posted on February 8, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Some people have reacted to the post I published on racism in law enforcement earlier this week and the conversations I had with them have convinced me that I should write a follow-up to clarify some points. First, some took issue with…

Stop Elliott Abrams

  • Posted on February 7, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

It’s really amazing, although not surprising, that Democrats spend most of their time and energy trying to oppose people whose nomination to the Cabinet would be relatively benign, even from a liberal point of view, but almost completely ignore those who are…

There is apparently a university in the US which is considered a paradise for conservatives. If you ask me, this kind of bubble sounds more like a nightmare. I’m sure most liberal academics who read this will agree, but instead of making fun…

On a fallacy that people often commit to accuse the police of racism

  • Posted on February 6, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

After the death of Laquan McDonald (which for what it’s worth strikes me as being murder pure and simple, but this has no bearing on what I’m going to be talking about), the Mayor of Chicago created a task force, with the…

Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford

  • Posted on February 5, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Jessica Mitford was born in a family of eccentric aristocrats in England related to Winston Churchill. Two of her sisters, Unity and Diana, became famous after they befriended Hitler during the 1930’s. Diana even married Oswald Mosley, the leader of the…

Megan McArdle, who is always excellent, wrote a great piece for the Denver Post. The points she makes, except for the fourth one (I obviously hadn’t anticipated Trump’s candidacy), are things I have been arguing for years. People use to think it…

Réflexions sur l’affaire Fillon

  • Posted on February 4, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Avant toute chose, je dois dire que, sur le fond, je me contrefous  de cette histoire. Je pense que Fillon est, de très loin, le meilleur candidat. Par conséquent, en ce qui me concerne, j’aurais beau savoir qu’il passe ses nuits dehors à…

Trump’s executive order, polls and manipulation

  • Posted on February 3, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Ipsos recently did a poll for Reuters about Trump’s executive order, which I already discussed at length before, according to which, to the amazement of the sophisticates, a plurality of Americans agree with it. According to that poll, 48% of Americans…

Libération publie un article qui pose exactement les bonnes questions sur la source des révélations du Carnard enchaîné sur l’affaire Pénélope Fillon. Je n’ai absolument aucun doute que ces révélations viennent de la droite et, comme l’explique l’auteur de cet article,…

Walt on Trump and his advisers

  • Posted on February 2, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Stephen Walt wrote another piece in which he criticizes Trump. He makes some good points, although I find the constant virtue signaling annoying. To be sure, Trump is a clown and I’m sure he’s never read Hans Morgenthau, but in practice he…
