Incredible stuff from Democratic Party grandee Paul Begala on NPR this morning, in response to the Autopsy Report, excusing all of Kamala's failures in the '24 election, claiming she had the best debate since Abraham Lincoln. They really want her to be the nominee again.

Interesting, nuanced take on True Detective Season 2. I think he hits the nail on the head.

Not even 2 minutes into the Rogan/Murray/Smith video and it's no wonder Murray is not being received well. In the first 30 seconds he immediately cuts off the friendly banter and starts interrogating Rogan about the anti-Israel slant in his content. He takes on a really grating, officious ,"just asking questions" tone, when, just like he accuses others of doing, he already knows the answer he wants to hear and is only using the faux-curious approach to smuggle in his criticism. This brief clip then ends with Murray saying: "I'm interested in your selection of guests because you're the world's number one podcast." Not only is this a kind of passive-aggressive concern-trolling, and a subtle implication that Rogan has neglected his moral obligation to act "responsibly" as an influential public figure, it also gets the causation EXACTLY backward. Rogan has the world's number one podcast precisely because of his guest selection, and precisely because the views he platforms are effectively embargoed from mainstream media and Rogan is willing to hear them out. The rest of the media is trying to "teach" it's audience something. People are sick of that kind of didacticism. Rogan is just letting you "listen." Most of Rogan's listeners won't even get to the substance of the arguments before (rightly) determining this guy fundamentally misunderstands the audience he's speaking to and misunderstands the context he's speaking to them in.

Back in 2015 there was a debate between GMU economist and open-borders advocate Bryan Caplan and his colleague Garett Jones who cautioned that immigrants tend to import all the beliefs and pathologies of their home nations, and that if we want to preserve America qua America, and importantly the strength of its institutions, we need take a far more prudent approach to who we let in to the country and at what volume. Caplan, and mass immigration proponents at places like CATO and elsewhere, who think of immigration as an unalloyed economic good (which somehow became conventional wisdom), dismissed these concerns––when not simply waving them away as the bigoted ranting of evil bad racists––by claiming, as Caplan does in the clip below, that 1) first generation immigrants don't really hold any political power (so who really cares?) and 2) second generation immigrants and beyond simply assimilate to the prevailing norms of the country (as they have in the past). Now that a fully westernized Indian by way of Uganda is leading a coalition of non-natives to impose socialism on our country's biggest city and economic power center, do they have any revisions they want to make? Do they think maybe it's time to reconsider the conventional wisdom? Do they think maybe, as Garett Jones warned us, that mass immigration doesn't just spontaneously produce Americans, that there is no magic dirt, and that since a country is its people, when the people change (or *are changed*) the country changes with them?
