Thoughts This Fortnight

DON’T LOOK NOW BUT THE TEXAS
PRIMARIES ARE COMING UP QUICK

You may have forgotten that Super Tuesday, which includes Texas, is March 5, 2024. Early voting begins February 20 and ends March 1, 2024. We are less than 30 days away from early voting!

As we have for over twenty (20) years, we will publish a Voter’s Guide for the GOP primary. We will also feature key judicial candidates running unopposed, but facing Democratic opposition in November so you will get a chance to know them.


HARVARD PRESIDENT SACKED AND IT WAS NOT RACISM

To be clear, there are scores of minority Ph.D.’s well qualified to be Presidents of major universities, Claudia Gay was not one of them. Her inability to condemn speech supporting the genocide of Jewish people was inexcusable and stunning. When you add to this her lack of character and her history of many instances of plagiarism, the question is why did it take so long?

“Unintentional plagiarism” or sloppy scholarship is academically unacceptable.

Intentional plagiarism is academically dishonorable. No one with that track record should be a President or a professor in our institutions of higher learning.

WESTERN CIVILIZATION UNDER THREAT
FROM WITHOUT AND WITHIN

BY BRENDAN O’NEIL, Political Writer SPIKED

“On numerous occasions in 2023 I’ve wanted to call out both barbarism its intellectual apologist, to express disgust for these new enemies of Western civilization. From Hamas to the radical Islamists in Europe who feel inspired by Hamas to the West’s own sons and daughters of privilege who make excuses for Hamas – all have proven themselves to be the adversaries of truth, culture and reason. Surely no one will now deny that Western civilization is under assault on two fronts: from without and within.”

“The apologists for Hamas in privileged circles has been mind-blowing. Hamas’ bestial violence against the Jews has been denied, downplayed, or outright justified. A “day of celebration” is how one privately educated pretend radical in Britain described the racist butchery of 7 October. The sympathy shown by woke Westerners for Hamas)’ apocalyptic violence reveals a moral kinship between these two sections of society. It exposes their shared contempt for Western civilization, their shared indifference to human suffering, and their shared loathing of freedom.”

“We cannot afford to underestimate how significant it is that many of our young sympathize with Hamas and view the Jews they butchered as oppressors. Both wokeism and Islamism scorn the idea Western civilization. Both disavow Enlightenment as Western arrogance. And both hate Jews. One side view them as pigs and monkeys, the other as an oppressor class.”

“Jews have come to be seen as the embodiment of modernity, and therefore the enemies of modernity, whether that’s the civilization skeptics of our own elite universities or the civilization attackers of radical Islam, turn on them. Viciously. There is a reluctance, these days, to speak of a clash between civilization and barbarism. Yet its existence can no longer be ignored. On one side, there are those who have abandoned reason, on the other, those of us wish to defend it.” (Spiked-UK)
