Maya Rackoff                       Megyn Kelly   1. Bucking University Journals Maya Rackoff was a Bronx high school junior two years ago, when George Floyd’s murder ignited nationwide protests. Her school administration organized emotional support meetings.  Rackoff attended protests, taking the train alone to Times Square, Union Square, and Washington Square Park, joining thousands.  She wrote:  I watched CNN’s and MSNBC’s coverage religiously. I embraced the BLM slogans and ignored the violence that accompanied some of the protests. To me, anyone who didn’t buy into the movement wholeheartedly was the problem. Why couldn’t they get over their own racism?  A Brown freshman a year later, Rackoff became a university political journal interviewer — “a big honor.” She scored an interview with Megyn Kelly, and the two discussed identity politics, academic c...

Whittaker Chambers was a 20th Century writer-editor. As a Communist Party member and later Soviet spy, Chambers famously defected to work at then-conservative TIME Magazine (1939–1948). Chambers’ next move exposed his one-time comrade Alger Hiss, who as both a high-ranking State Department official and head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, had hidden his own Communist-agent past.

When the serpent whispers to Eve, “Ye shall be as gods,”  the snake is offering humans the divine power to separate ...

To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way. — Chief Justice John Roberts Bari Weiss , the resigned-ahead-of-being-cancelled ex- New York Times editor and writer, has come out  with a commendable response to the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade . The leak is big. Weiss quotes Politico , which leaked the draft document, saying, “No draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending.” The leak is politically important. It comes from someone on the left, and aims to overturn the trend toward a Democratic wipeout this Fall by mobilizing Democrats’ pro-choice female and youth base to vote and go active, and to supplant inflation, crime, and open borders as the key election issue. The leak is awful. A (possible Yale) law professor told Weiss: the leak ...
