A review of Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America by Charles Murray. Encounter Books, 168 pages. (June, 2021) I’ve known about Charles Murray since 1994, when I was a voracious and unsupervised teen reader in rural Oregon grabbing the library’s latest issue of the New Republic the instant it was shelved. It was here that I stumbled upon the shocking views Murray and Richard J. Herrnstein expressed in The Bell Curve about race, class, and inequality in America. I didn’t give those views much deep thought at the time, and so my perception of Murray and his ideas...

A medical examiner in Michigan says an autopsy has determined that Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died of chest trauma from an errant fireworks mortar blast, and not a fall as authorities previously reported. Police in Novi, Michigan, said the mortar-style firework tilted slightly and started to fire toward people nearby Sunday night. The 24-year-old Kivleniek was in a hot tub and tried to get clear with several other people, police Lieutenant Jason Meier said. The fire department and EMTs got to the private home shortly after 10 p.m. and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced...

Jon Brown from The Daily Wire reports, A group of black pastors penned a letter rebuking Democratic Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock for what they describe as his “open advocacy of abortion” and urge Warnock “to fight against the systemic racism of abortion.” ...

A group of over two dozen black ministers has signed a letter expressing strong criticism of Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock over his support for abortion. Warnock is headed for a January runoff election against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler. “Unborn Black, Brown and White lives are so much more than clumps of cells, burdensome inconveniences, or health problems,” the ministers wrote to the radical Democrat, who is also a reverend. “They are sacred human persons endowed by God with inalienable dignity and worth,” the letter continues. “We implore you to uphold the Biblical defense of life and to fight against...

LAWRENCE – President Donald Trump may have nearly ended the flow of refugees and other African immigrants to the United States, but a new study shows that at least those from Nigeria are well-educated, hardworking and contribute more to society than they cost the American social security system. The paper contrasts Nigerian newcomers with those from Somalia, whose work ethic is similarly strong, but whose lack of education hurts their employment prospects here. The authors argue that Americans should “reconsider the treatment of African immigrants as a collective group, as this obscures differences between immigrants from different African countries and...

The United States is being torn apart by an idea: that racism defines America. The death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer in late May 2020 catapulted this claim into national prominence; riots and the desecration of national symbols followed. Now, activists and their media allies are marshaling a more sweeping set of facts to prove the dominance of white supremacy: the absence of a proportional representation of blacks in a range of organizations. That insufficient diversity results from racial bias, claim the activists, and every few days, the press serves up another exposé of...

Devastating news: Walter Williams died last night (or early this morning).

This testimony from Dr. Linda Lee Tarver, who worked for 29 years at the Michigan Secretary of State is an absolute must-watch and the highlight of nearly eight hours of testimony from dozens (and dozens) of witnesses to the election fraud in Michigan - particularly in Detroit (TCF Center). Notably, she says there are **71 percent** of ballots that CANNOT be audited, and explains why. Not that it should matter, but she's African American and talks extensively during her testimony about how race and claims of "racism!" are frequently used any time there is a challenge to the vote in...

In a rare victory for the truth, PolitiFact acknowledged the correctness of conservative commentator Candace Owens’ claim that former Vice President Joe Biden is neither literally nor legally the current president-elect.It took getting attorneys involved for the 8-month pregnant Owens, but PolitiFact caved under pressure.Weeks ago, @Facebook censored a post of mine which truthfully stated that @JoeBiden is NOT the President-elect.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring has fired the latest salvo in America’s assault on meritocracy: a 61-page opinion holding that the suburban Loudoun County school system discriminated against black and Hispanic youngsters because its selective-admission high school, the Academies of Loudon, hadn’t admitted enough of them. Never mind that—as Mr. Herring acknowledged—the school’s test-based admissions process is open to all and fairly managed. Because its results have a “disparate impact,” the school system must scrap it. Nationwide, selective-admission public schools, also known as “exam schools,” are under attack because the demographics of their student populations don’t match those of their...

Charles A. Murray ’65 spoke to Harvard affiliates at a Friday webinar about his new book, which criticizes the idea that race and gender are social constructs. Faculty in attendance criticized his work, saying it makes unfounded claims and is rooted in flawed methodology. Government preceptor David D. Kane invited Murray — whose work the Southern Poverty Law Center terms “racist pseudoscience” – to speak about his 2020 book “Human Diversity: The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class” as part of a lecture series entitled “Data Scientists, Data Professionals, Data Dissidents.” Murray said during the talk that many of Harvard’s...

Rapper Ice Cube On Tuesday, Trump campaign senior advisor Katrina Pierson revealed that O’Shea Jackson, the rapper better known as Ice Cube, worked with the Trump administration in the development of the president’s $500 billion Platinum Plan for Black America. Ice Cube later clarified that both the Republicans and the Democrats expressed interest in his Contract With Black America (CWBA), but the Trump campaign worked with Ice Cube before the election, while Democrats said they would address CWBA after November 3. “Shoutout to [Ice Cube] for his willingness to step up and work with [the Trump] Administration to help develop...

In recent years, education activists have adopted the argument that white supremacism and the misuse of mathematics explain racial inequality in educational attainment. “On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness,” University of Illinois professor Rochelle Gutierrez has claimed. In New York City, school officials and the mayor’s office have embraced this narrative. Schools chancellor Richard Carranza linked black and Hispanic students’ mathematics deficiencies to teachers’ implicit bias. Yet at the same time, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s education masterplan foresees offering algebra, a gateway to higher-level math courses, to all eighth-graders by 2022. Advocacy groups and even some academics contend...

Renowned academic and author Thomas Sowell contends if Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden were to win the presidency, it may well push the United States past the “point of no return.” On his Fox News program ( “Life, Liberty & Levin”) Sunday night, host Mark Levin asked Sowell, a senior fellow with the ( Hoover Institution), to speak about the current unrest and general direction of the country.“I must say even though I’m regarded as pessimistic, I was never pessimistic enough to think that things would degenerate to the point where they are now, where adult human beings are talking...
