Steven DeLay

In 1994, my female grade school teacher at a Bay Area private school would hold me in during recess and lunch to make me do "correct and returns," even though my work was the best in the class. Twenty years later in Oxford, my DPhil thesis, which contained three-peer reviewed publications, was flunked by my two female examiners. (The viva was voided by the Senior Proctor on grounds of "procedural irregularity" and I then took the degree after a second and fair one.) And yet, my entire life, I've been told by every academic institution I've known that I have all the advantages as a straight white man. I long ago learned to find this supernatural degree of hypocrisy liberating, and doing so is part of what has contributed to the inspiration responsible for my producing an authorship that has become quite something. So, thank you, Mrs Lum! You had no idea that you were preparing me for the realization that, at least in this day, Oxford would be no less a farce than your third-grade classroom.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker. It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.

STEVEN DELAY'S "THIS PRESENT WORLD" One can know something without being able to prove it to others. For what does one acquire by proving to others what one already knew aside from the fact that one already indeed knew what one did? And so it is with knowledge of God.

A friend today sent word to me from Paris--spotted on the shelves at Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin.

Four works in Christian existentialism--Before God, In the Spirit, Faint Not, This Present World.

I'm in the Epstein files. In October 2020, an FBI Boston agent emails his superiors, offering to "speak about" me amidst the ongoing Epstein coverup at Harvard and MIT. Whom did he contact, and what did he want to discuss?

When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote. Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️

I do harbor a profound sadness for President Trump I was there in 2016 10 years with you and believing in you What the fuсk happen to you... ?

Friendly reminder to the fraudsters: At President Trump's directive, we're coming for you and bringing you to justice.

The Republican Party just imploded. Here’s why it happened and what happens next.

It's 2016, and the woke mob at your Oxford college has decided that you must be made an example of. What to do? Always read the fine print. That's how I knew that the Junior Censor didn't want to see me for a friendly fireside chat when he casually mentioned in the summons that the college Tutor for Graduates and my college advisor would also be present. Refusing to go to that meeting was one of the best decisions I made in life.

If the recent convulsions in France have reminded us of anything, it's that the radical, post-literate left seems far more interested in causing disruption than engaging in rational argument. It prompted us to recall that here in Britain we also have our own variety of ultragauche militants. And that reality was made evident on Friday at Cambridge University, when students stormed a lecture being given by James Orr, the former head of policy at Reform UK, and accused him of spreading fascism and hatred on campus. Orr, an associate professor of religion at Cambridge, is known for hosting meetings for postgraduate students at his home on the outskirts of the city, which the Financial Times recently described as 'an alternative Cambridge college – a refuge from the liberal academy,' a venue where 'Orr's brand of Christian nationalism' is discussed and disseminated. ✍️ Patrick West Article | spectator.com/article/let-ja… | @patrickxwest | @jtworr
