Commentary Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for his candidacy for president. You may have noticed that Scott is black. We may ask, in this woke age of ours, the extent to which this matters in his candidacy. I think it does matter, which requires some…
The Politics and Sentimentality of Descent
Commentary The emphasis President Joe Biden places on his Irishness is simultaneously bogus and sincere: for it is a strange fact of human psychology that if you repeat something to yourself often enough you come to believe that it must be true, especially if it’s to your advantage, and then you begin to have the…
The Rise of the Single Woke (and Young, Democratic) Female
Soccer Moms are giving way to Single Woke Females—the new “SWFs”—as one of the most potent voting blocs in American politics.

Commentary The U.S. military is failing to meet what were already minimal recruiting goals. That fact should trouble every American citizen who knows the world is a dangerous place. According to the Stars and Stripes, on Nov. 18 Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth confirmed that the Army undershot its annual recruitment goal of 60,000…
The Genius of Cate Blanchett in ‘Tár’
Commentary Getting right to the point, the masterful film “Tár” includes one of the best takedowns of identity politics I’ve ever heard. The conductor is invited to teach a master class in music at the Juilliard Conservatory. It’s pretty obvious from the way the students are scattered out throughout the room that they are not…

Commentary The new British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is the son of Punjabi immigrants from East Africa. You might have thought that this would satisfy, or at least please, the anti-racism lobby, by demonstrating that British society is an open one, not completely sclerosed by racist prejudice: but you would be wrong.

Braverman Tells UK Police to ‘Stick to Catching the Bad Guys,’ Not ‘Pandering to Identity Politics’
The police should go back to “commonsense policing” instead of policing pronouns on Twitter or non-crime hate incidents, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said on Tuesday. In her first major speech as home secretary, Braverman told the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham that public servants are distracted from “doing their real job” when the “poison [of…

The police should focus on fighting real crimes rather than making “symbolic gestures,” the UK’s new home secretary has told police chiefs.
