The war on statues…

The New Neo Posted on August 25, 2017 by neoAugust 25, 2017

…continues in the most unlikely of places. I say “unlikely” because one would think a Catholic school to be the last bastion for the defense of its Catholic statues. But then again, this particular Catholic school is in San Anselmo … Continue reading →

Is Trump lying, just bragging, or telling the truth?

The New Neo Posted on August 25, 2017 by neoAugust 25, 2017

Today commenter “Bill” asked some questions: Trump just tweeted this out, just now “Few, if any, Administrations have done more in just 7 months than the Trump A. Bills passed, regulations killed, border, military, ISIS, SC!” ”“ 25 Aug 2017 … Continue reading →

The ancient history of math: Plimpton 322

The New Neo Posted on August 24, 2017 by neoAugust 24, 2017

Today is one of those days I look at the news and sigh. I don’t want to see lists of the most recent statements by people who think Trump is unstable. I don’t want to hear how the president is … Continue reading →

I’m going to whine about something

The New Neo Posted on August 24, 2017 by neoAugust 24, 2017

And it’s the overuse of the word “whine.” I’ve noticed that whine is employed a great deal in political discourse, both on this blog and elsewhere. It’s ordinarily used to describe—and trivialize—a complaint by people with whom you don’t agree. … Continue reading →

Observations

The New Neo Posted on August 23, 2017 by neoAugust 23, 2017

Recently I was at several gatherings of relatives and friends, and listening to some of the conversation I get two impressions. The first is that some liberals are still very much obsessed with Trump. One in particular could hardly let … Continue reading →

Free speech for Nazis: policies in the US and Europe compared

The New Neo Posted on August 23, 2017 by neoAugust 23, 2017

A NY Times op-ed by K-Sue Park that I critiqued recently called for the ACLU to “rethink” its free-speech defense of Nazi rallies, and to loosen its traditional even-handed defense of freedom of speech as a principle of liberty and … Continue reading →

Afraid of offending: in the penumbra of Robert E. Lee

The New Neo Posted on August 23, 2017 by neoAugust 23, 2017

You can’t be too careful, right? Fearful of ruffling feathers in Charlottesville and elsewhere, MSESPN made this decision: In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided … Continue reading →

Trump’s Afghan strategy

The New Neo Posted on August 22, 2017 by neoAugust 22, 2017

Last night President Trump gave a speech outlining his policy on Afghanistan. The text can be found here. In considering what to do in Afghanistan, Trump was in a bind. Actually, it’s not just Trump who’s been in a bind; … Continue reading →

Paypal removes ban on Jihad Watch

The New Neo Posted on August 22, 2017 by neoAugust 22, 2017

[NOTE: This post refers back to events that were decribed in a previous post.] Paypal, in its infinite mercy (that’s sarcasm, by the way, in case it’s not clear), has decided to reinstate the account of Jihad Watch, previously banned … Continue reading →

Reversals

The New Neo Posted on August 22, 2017 by neoAugust 22, 2017

William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection has this to say (the whole post is worth reading): That truth that both sides [in Charlottesville] were violent doesn’t mean both sides were equal. But the denial of the truth that both sides were … Continue reading →

Catalonia and terrorism; Spain and Moroccan immigration

The New Neo Posted on August 21, 2017 by neoAugust 21, 2017
