Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

From the comments: The last year the Chicago Police Department reported homicides broken down by race, the number of homicides committed by non-whites in the city of Chicago was over 97%. As a result, under Lori Lightfoot, CPD stopped publishing these statistics.

A long video to enjoy this weekend. A wide ranging talk to listen during chores.

Agreed!

Identity politics doesn’t exist in most other countries - and we are being burned for ending slavery.

I laugh when a northern state proposes reparations - what did Minnesota do to end slavery?

Send several thousand of its’ youth to dies at major battles in the South.

And now blacks want reparations?

The reparations are buried at Ft Snelling.

I saw VDH on Fox News a couple nights ago.

He had lung surgery six months ago, to remove a cancerous tumor, which I believe was non-smoking related.

He developed an arterial aneurysm during recovery.

He is in his early 70s and looks visibly un-well.

All politics is identity politics.

That’s the game, and when you refuse to play, the only losers are your people.

Tribalism is the history of mankind.

I prefer that my tribe prevail.

..the right of the people peaceably to assemble...

You could argue this also gives groups the right to exclude anyone they don't want assembling with them . Too bad we lost that simple right long ago.
