Law professor Josh Blackman called the NYT out on politically labeling conservatives more often than liberals, and editor Patrick Healy acknowledged he was right: “It can come off like The Times treats liberals as normal and conservatives as unique and worthy of labeling.”

We can’t fix school for boys by holding them back. We need to explore what kind of academic environment helps them thrive. We could start by looking at successful all-boys schools.

“Boys consistently report less positive attitudes [toward school] than girls, regardless of socioeconomic status, family structure, or grade repetition. These gender gaps are observed in nearly all countries and are larger in more developed societies.”

CNN: GOP operatives conducting a focus group in a traditionally red Midwestern state this month were taken aback by what they heard from their own party’s voters. Asked what they blamed for rising gas prices, those voters pointed to “corrupt politicians” and “billionaires” — a response that surprised some longtime strategists who’ve never seen government corruption emerge as a top issue for so many Republican voters in congressional races. cnn.com/2026/10/18/politics/…

I'm a Notre Dame fan, but I gotta give BYU credit. That defense is quick, tough, relentless. Allows no separation outside. Gang tackles. Impressive.

It is not elitist or swampy to want very sharp, highly experienced individuals with good judgment to hold high government positions. Patriotism and civic virtue includes recognizing the importance of public roles and the required attributes of those who hold them.
