Mark Hemingway The Federalist, Dec. 20, 2022 “I want to know how many of these FBI and CIA agents are “sheep dipped.” In the intelligence world, “sheep dipping” is a term of art.” According to the latest drop of “Twitter Files” from Michael Shellenberger, “As of 2020, there were so many former FBI employees […]
Roger Kimball The Spectator, Dec. 20, 2022 “… there was never going to be a ground zero. The point was not to “achieve closure.” It certainly wasn’t to uncover the truth.” As I have said before, I hope that the new Congress, which begins its session in just a couple of weeks, will […]
Tom Basile Washington Times, Dec. 16, 2022 “The effectiveness and the consequences of lockdowns, masks, treatments and vaccines were all ripe for a robust debate, especially as we all learned from our collective experience.” The Twitter Files have thus far been truly illuminating. They’ve provided vindication for those who were vilified for even suggesting […]

_ “The Arab and Muslim donor states funding MESCs prioritize a cultural and political agenda over an economic one, and universities that have taken money from Middle Eastern or Muslim countries dance to the tune those donors play.” — Asaf Romirowsk and Alex Joffe ___________________________________________________________________ SILENCING STUDENTS ________________________________________________________________________ More and More U.S. Universities […]
Dean Robinson National Review, Dec. 3, 2022 “… my colleagues and I are increasingly concerned that our frank guidance could be interpreted as microaggressions or manifestations of our “oppression” and “privilege.” Out of self-preservation, we are thus likely to limit the instruction and feedback we give future physicians, depriving them (and their future patients) of […]

Francis Menton Manhattan Contrarian, Dec. 16, 2022 “Claudine Gay allowed Michael Smith to get away scot-free in the Harvard-Epstein ties investigation — she came in and nicely whitewashed it all away. Claudine Gay has Epstein coverup stink on her, and Michael Smith has major Epstein stink on him.” Yesterday I got two emails from […]
Russell Jacoby Tablet, Dec. 19, 2022 “The leftists who would have vanished as assistant professors in conferences on narratology and gender fluidity or disappeared as law professors with unreadable essays on misogynist hegemony and intersectionality have been pushed out into the larger culture.” In 1987 I published The Last Intellectuals: American Culture in the Age […]
Asaf Romirowsky and Alex Joffe Tablet, Nov. 4, 2022 “Building bridges, while perhaps a laudable mission for humanitarian organizations, is not always compatible with the pursuit of scholarly truth.” Few trends in academia are more depressing than the continued domination of Middle Eastern studies departments by postcolonial professors whose shtick involves recycling cliched attacks on […]

Curt Leviant Tablet, Dec. 16, 2020 “What Jew didn’t know his family name? What Jew can’t read from the siddur. What Jew has the gruff look of a goy?” Early one morning, one snowless winter’s day, end November, just before Hanukkah, a solidly built man—he seemed to be in his mid-30s—appeared in […]
Don Feder Washington Times, Dec. 10, 2022 “The two sides seem remarkably similar to those in the Hanukkah story. In the culture war, one side believes in an evolving moral code shaped by convenience and popular opinion. The other subscribes to a code that’s both universal and eternal.” Hanukkah may be the most […]
