Women in Ranger School

-138 started the pre Ranger course

-20 passed and were given slots in the current Ranger school.

-19 chose to go to Ranger school

-They were exempt from duty for 3 months in order to train full time. (An opportunity not afforded the men)

-After the first 4 days of Ranger school there were only 8 left.

-At the completion of phase one (the easiest phase) the remaining 8 had failed.

-There will be hearing boards today to decide if they will be able to recycle and start over.

-The Media in cooperation with the Army is trying to keep this story out of the press.

Third week in a row: Black mob violence closes carnival. Racine.

Third week in a row. The narrative of the egalitarian cult cannot survive all those youtube videos / tweets / comments.

The way for a heterogeneous polity to succeed is probably by pushing everything into the market place of voluntary exchange and promoting a diversity of institutions. (NOT by promoting a diversity of people under uniform institutions.)

Inequality is NOT a measure of injustice. The left pursues equality with the zeal of a fundamentalist religion. It’s am impossible goal, and that may very well be the point — what good is a messiah once he has arrived?

The law of Karma must be restored. Without it, these communities are infantilized.

Like economic Marxism, cultural Marxism gives unsuccessful people two very dangerous things: an excuse and enemy. Nothing good will result.

HIT & RUN BLOG RSS At U-M, Sexual Violence Includes ‘Discounting Feelings,’ ‘Withholding Sex’

Feminists. Ridiculing and destroying the only culture in the world that tolerates them

The redefinition of the word violence continues among revelations that discounting a sexual partner’s feelings and withholding sex constitutes sexual violence at the University of Michigan. The relevant info can be found at the university’s “Stop Abuse” webpage:

Examples of sexual violence include: discounting the partner’s feelings regarding sex; criticizing the partner sexually; touching the partner sexually in inappropriate and uncomfortable ways; withholding sex and affection; always demanding sex; forcing partner to strip as a form of humiliation (maybe in front of children), to witness sexual acts, to participate in uncomfortable sex or sex after an episode of violence, to have sex with other people; and using objects and/or weapons to hurt during sex or threats to back up demands for sex.

Black crime statistics, police violence statistics, and lying progressives.

Progressives make their case with anecdotes. Conservatives need to counter with data.

The conservative strategy has to be telling the truth, and being as intolerant of lies as possible. Constantly ask them: Why are you lying?

“Police in America kill around 300 black people per year. Black criminals kill 1000 white people and over 6000 blacks. So yes, we can talk about the police thing. But we’ve got some other things to talk about too…”

Outside of STEM disciplines, Universities are no longer place where people learn to seek truth. They are places where people learn to lie.

Surprise! Women trump men on CEO pay

We have to punish liars. Suppressing lying the way we suppress aggression is probably enough.

“So far, 21 of the 22 current female CEOs in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have reported their latest compensation, including Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer, defense contractor Lockheed Martin’s (LMT) Marillyn Hewson and CEO Carol Meyrowitz of retailer TJX (TJX), and they were paid an average of $18.8 million during their latest fiscal years, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ and Bespoke Investment Group. That far exceeds the average $12.7 million paid to the 455 current male CEOs in the S&P 500 that have reported compensation data for the same time period.

“The compensation awarded to female CEOs, on average, also outstrips the $14.3 million average paid to all the CEOs of the 100 largest publicly held companies that had reported through early April, according to pay tracker Equilar and compensation consultant Towers Watson.”

Law Without the State by David Friedman

I’ve slowly drifted away from the Mises Institue’s apriorism and toward the consequentialist arguments of David Friedman.

This is a great lecture, though I think he errs (or perhaps a little loose with metaphors) in his appeal to nature early on. It’s so riddled with exceptions and qualifications, that they exceptions can easily be the rule.
