James J. Kilpatrick and William F. Buckley are wrong in saying that Prof. Anita Hill has trashed Clarence Thomas' name. Thomas did that when he accepted an appointment by President Reagan.
And look at Thomas' new friends:
Kilpatrick has made a lucrative career writing artificially sweetened racist-porn like "The Southern Case for School Segregation (1962)."
And Buckley. In 1957 he spelled out exactly what postwar "conservatism" is in "Why the South Must Prevail" (National Review, Aug. 24, 1957).
"The White community is so entitled....becuase, for the time being, it is the advanced race."
Because the 14th and 15th constitutional amendments (which grant Black suffrage) are "inorganic accretions," the South can "disfranchise the marginal Negro."
Personally, I wonder if the Journal could find "conservative" columnists who weren't raving racists in the not-too-distant past.
"Personally, I wonder if the Journal could find `conservative' columnists who weren't raving racists in the not-too-distant past." From a 1991 letter to the editor of the Albuquerque Journal, noting the prominence of James J. Kilpatrick and William F. Buckley as syndicated columnists.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this raceβnot because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Agreed. That was really cool to see. I wonder how the NJ gubernatorial primary couldβve gone differently if Baraka, Fulop, and Spiller couldβve cross endorsed. I wonder if conservative Dems will figure this out too.

At least 1,800 state and local police officers were charged with crimes involving child sexual abuse from 2005 through 2022, The Post found.
Abusive officers were rarely related to the children they were accused of raping, fondling and exploiting. They most frequently targeted girls who were 13 to 15 years old β and regularly met their victims through their jobs.
1,800 cops charged with child sexual abuse in the last two decades, targeting mainly teen girls they encountered as a part of their work, according to the Washington Post.
The Post leads with the story of a teen girl assaulted by a cop who was processing her rape kit from a different assault.
