Democrats are getting ready to welcome Abrams

  • Posted on February 9, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

I predicted a few days ago that, if Trump was stupid enough to nominate Abrams for Deputy Secretary of State, he would find several Democrats to confirm him. Well, unsurprisingly, I just read this article in Al-Monitor which explains that, as…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Reuters had a pretty good article on the H-1B visa program, which people who think it’s just about bringing geniuses to work in tech companies should probably read, especially since Trump’s administration is reportedly having a look at it. Paul Mulshine wrote a…

On the claim that Trump’s election unleashed a wave of hate crimes

  • Posted on February 1, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

The idea that liberal elites are disconnected from reality has been a major theme of post-election reflections. Nowhere is this more obvious than in academia, where Trump’s victory resulted in completely hysterical reactions. I think that most of these reactions are not only…

David Byler published a very good piece in which he comes back on the theory that, as a result of demographic change, American politics was headed to a permanent Democratic majority. It was made popular by John Judis and Run Texeira’s book, The Emerging Democratic…

Meanwhile, in Yemen…

While liberals are busy losing their mind over a decision which, compared to what the US has been doing for years all over the world, is relatively benign, the Navy’s SEAL Team 6 just murdered several innocent civilians in Yemen, including…

More on Trump’s executive order

  • Posted on January 30, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

I’ve been giving more thought to Trump’s executive order and I’m increasingly convinced that Bannon fucked liberals again. I don’t think everything about this was planned, and I’m sure that incompetence played a role, but I have no doubt that it was Bannon’s…
