We’re going to offer some bonus podcast content this week as there is a lot going on in the run-up to next Monday’s Supreme Court oral argument on the Harvard/UNC affirmative action admissions cases. We may even have a couple short episodes of the 3WHH on a couple of loose ends from last weekend’s show to respond to some listener questions and comments.

National Review has posted Kyle Smith’s article “Wrong-Way Biden” behind its premium paywall. The article is published in the magazine’s September 21 issue and it is excellent. I appreciated the first-person opening of Smith’s article in which he meets “Tokyo Joe” coming through on “a mischievous enemy radio station.” Smith writes: In January of 1991, I was a second lieutenant in the 178th Personnel Service Company, an administrative appendix to

When the Obama administration unveiled one of its improvisations in Obamacare last week, HHS posted a handy cheat sheet. The cheat sheet summarized regulations promulgated by the Department.

Whatever happened to baby pain? I mean, has the the Obama administration’s ludicrous “accommodation” of the Church’s opposition to the compelled provision of free contraception, sterilization and abortifacients resolved the serious constitutional affront involved? Or has it thrown one more into the mix? Somehow the mainstream media have transformed the discussion into something else entirely.

Anyone seriously trying to understand American politics must reckon with what Charles Kesler has called “the three waves of liberalism,” beginning with Woodrow Wilson. As a Progressive academic steeped in the Hegelian dialectic, Wilson laid the intellectual groundwork for the assault on limited government. He hated the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which he frankly condemned as obsolete in his academic writings. Paul and I sketched an outline of
