Studied, Yet Stupid
Sunday, Steven Hayward published a piece about some of the sillier output from academia of late. The relationship between pregnancy and higher mathematics, an abstract basically about a specific form of Latin music that simply makes no sense, and a course with minimal syllabus that mostly seems like a professorial gripe session, all make an appearance. But then people have been making fun of what passes for academic study for decades. The difference between then and now is that now the silliness seems more corrosive somehow.

It’s Not Really About Immigration
Do you remember Scott Pruitt? You should. He was Trump’s very first EPA Chief Administrator and he was driven from that office in about a year. Oh, there were all sorts of reasons why in the media and in the minds of Democrats, but in the end it was all about getting one over on Trump, finding a chink in his armor. That’s all it really was, it was about scoring a win over the unthinkable president – bringing him “down to earth.” In the end, I think that’s what’s going on with I.C.E., but this time around Trump is smarter and better defended and so things are getting out of hand.

The Eye Of The Storm
This morning I sit warm in my home. Outside it is fourteen degrees and there is six inches of snow on the ground. There is no sound but an old hoot owl calling. The road is impassable. It is eerily quiet and calm. But around me is turmoil. A couple hundred miles west and tens of thousands of people in Nashville have been without power for a week – in bitter cold. A little less than a thousand miles north and Minneapolis is in utter chaos. A few thousand miles east and in Iran thousands are dead at the hands of their so-called government. The swirl around me only makes the calm and quiet here even eerier. When I was a boy in coastal Texas I went through a hurricane – this is like when the eye passes over you, only global, more violent and with greater consequence. You live in a flinch awaiting the next disaster.

Killing Terror
Haven’t really written much about Iran this week because there has not been much news and I am not expert. All I know is every time I get news out of that nation it is bad, really bad. The numbers are staggering. The efforts and methods used by the regime to hold power are barbaric. From the stand point of morality, such a regime cannot be allowed to stand. They currently appear to be very weak, but each day they gain strength. So much of the evil that has infected this world has flowed from that regime in some way or the other – funding, training, ideology, weapons – it just cannot be allowed to stand.

And So It Begins
As we are witnessing, violently and vocally, in Minneapolis blue states are resistant to the changes being wrought by a Republican president, elected by the nation. Minnesota is not alone in its resistance. The rhetoric certainly matches some from just before the Civil War, but the situation is such that secession is actually quite unlikely, despite calls for it from some corners. But as blue states harden their resistance they are failing miserably, and they are being exposed as failures. Eventually the nation as a whole will have to deal with their dilapidation.

The Minneapolis Toxin
The situation has grown completely out-of-hand. Social media is, in some circles, full of memes that amount to death threats aimed at anyone involved in the unfortunate deaths in Minneapolis in recent days – up to and including the POTUS. In a different age, the things I have read would lead to a knock on the door from the Secret Service. Ilan Omar was attacked yesterday – some wonder if it was a set-up. Regardless, it is symbolic of a situation that has left the boundaries of reason and civil discourse. The former Vice President and the host have issued clarion calls for reason and sobriety – both in severe short supply.

When The Host Is Wrong…
…He is very wrong. Yesterday when Michael Duncan was on the show (a regular as one of the guys from the Ruthless podcast) the host tried to make fun of Duncan’s Hoosier heritage, in light of Indiana’s overwhelming football National Championship victory, by asking Duncan to list the top tourist attractions in the Hoosier State. The host asked specifically about theme parks, as if King’s Island and Cedar Point make Ohio so much more interesting than neighboring Indiana – mostly out of desperation as Duncan started to run down the list of great events that happen in Indiana. The host used his typical trick to win an argument of this type – he filibustered, talking over Duncan at every opportunity. So I suppose it is up to me, who grew up a Hoosier, to point out that Indiana really is a wonderful place to visit.

Origins Matter
The narrative in Minneapolis has now laser focused on the death of Alex Pretti. I tend to presume law enforcement acted properly until extensively proven otherwise. I admit the video is damning, but it is also not clear exactly what was going on. Yet everybody has made up their mind, sides are chosen – battle lines drawn. But we are forgetting how all this started.

Our Moral Confusion
Yesterday I was just apoplectic at the news out of Iran that they killed over 30,000 in the crackdown – a number comparable to the Nazis. That’s double the 15,000 number that had commonly been running around. Yesterday, thankfully, the New York Post reported on the same report and set the number at 36,500. (That’s roughly 20% more than the doubled number for those not skilled at arithmetic.) Wherever the number ends up it is enormous and heinous. The Iranian regime is nothing short of monstrous. I berated those that are on a moral high horse in Minneapolis while ignoring this situation altogether. But in decrying sin, I too may have been sinful.
