I’ve found it useful to engage in a “What if?” thought exercise. The idea is to imagine what it would be like now if what happened in the past had happened in some other way, to envision an alternative history and see what it implies. I find it heuristic to do: it makes what has […]
“The left can be divided into three groups: the stupid, the deluded and the evil.” That’s the best summary of left-wing politics that I know.

This is being written the day after the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. I assume you know the basics of the case. Over the past year, I paid about as much attention to the case as the average person, no more than that. It was streaming the trial the past couple of […]
The word and concept of “lawfare” — sometimes defined as “law as a weapon of war” — gained popular usage about three decades ago in the context of international military operations.
