Original Sin: It’s Worse Than the Authors Know

2 days ago | takimag.com | Ann Coulter

The new Joe Biden book, Original Sin, detailing the Democrats’ conspiracy to deceive Americans about the carcass of a man sitting in the Oval Office, brought back warm memories. I really enjoyed that debate. So I’m ranking Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper’s book as a must-read for any Republican. But the key takeaways from the book weren’t sufficiently highlighted by the authors. The three main lessons from Original Sin are: 1. Democrats are monumental liars. 2. They’re still lying. 3.
Bad Press

The American Revolution was the first step in a global upheaval that would do away with a system called monarchy, creating a new world of equality and freedom. On paper this sounds about perfect, n’est-ce pas, as our French friends say, but in actual fact a few years later the Haitians revolted and massacred the ones who didn’t agree with the revolutionaries, appalling democrats the Western world over.

The Week’s Most Gender-Quack, Doll-Attack, and Hermione-Goes-Black Headlines60 MINUTES TO MELTDOWNSpeechifying to students at North Carolina’s Wake Forest University on May 19, veteran 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley accidentally misread the place’s name as Woke Forest University and launched into an “unhinged” tirade against President Trump.
Talking Shop

For the first time in my life, I have been a shopkeeper—admittedly for no more than a few hours, but I found it a curiously intense experience. It was not an ordinary shop, either, but that of Chinese antiquities and furniture, as well as of carefully selected ornaments and knickknacks, chosen with care by the owners. They are friends of mine, and they asked me to look after the shop when they had to go to a funeral.
Black Women in Charge: Profiles in Umbrage

1 week ago | takimag.com | Ann Coulter

The anniversary of George Floyd’s death this past weekend was marked by claims that the country’s attempt to finally deal with its systemic racism had been brushed aside with “the resurgence of old power structures” — as put by University of Connecticut professor Manisha Sinha, who represents the NEW power structure where Indian immigrants get all the good affirmative action jobs.

Okay, sports fans, here it is, straight from the horse’s mouth: The year was 1957 or 1958 or perhaps even later. Those were the days of starched shirts, good manners, white rather than yellow tennis balls, and wooden rackets. The tournament was in New York City, and I was playing against Yale No. 1 Richard Raskind. He had a big left-handed serve that he used to come up to the net with, and an even bigger left-handed forehand. The match was on a fast cement court that favored his aggressive net play.
Biden Forgives Student Loans and … Behold, Defaults Skyrocket

1 week ago | takimag.com | Stephen Moore

Here’s an economics lesson that belongs in the textbooks. Student loan debt soared to more than $1.5 trillion during the Biden presidency, and the response by Washington was to “forgive” hundreds of billions of these unpaid loans by deadbeat borrowers and let the taxpayers pick up the tab. It was never clear why the universities that charge exorbitant tuitions that have reached more than $75,000 a year at many elite schools shouldn’t bear the cost of the program — but that’s another story.
School Choice

Now that Texas and South Carolina have passed school choice bills, parents will be able to choose the best school for their kids in 17 states. Why not all states? After all, competition improves services. The Post Office couldn’t get it there overnight. Then FedEx showed it can be done. Quickly, UPS and DHL did it, too, and now even the Post Office does … sometimes. Consumer choice is a big reason capitalist countries outperform socialist ones.

Striking a Chord

The poet A.E. Housman once wrote a poem about the impossibility of ignoring reality by means of permanent intoxication. The short poem ends:But men at whiles are soberAnd think by fits and starts,And if they think, they fastenTheir hands upon their hearts. In other words, everyone is aware of the tragic dimension of life.
