Mark Cuban’s willful cluelessness about DEI
In his X war with Elon Musk on the subject of DEI, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reached into the grab bag of rationales that made no sense even when they were fresh 60 
years ago. “There are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration,” tweeted Cuban, “By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified.”
A little history lesson is in order. In researching my newest book, “Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America’s Cities,” I can affirm that Cuban, if he means what he says, has no idea what he is talking about.
Death of an American hero
On Sunday morning I received a text from Elizabeth Sanders saying what I feared it would say, “Jim passed away this morning.”
“So sorry,” I answered. “He was one of a kind.” Said Elizabeth, “Yea he was.”
Elizabeth was in a position to know. In the pursuit of truth, she and James – his preferred public name – had endured the worst the U.S. government could throw at them and survived with their integrity and their patriotism intact. I first met the Sanders in September 2000 at a Kansas City country club where James was making a presentation. A veteran cop turned investigative reporter, he had authored the 1997 book “The Downing of TWA Flight 800,” and paid a high price for doing so. As James explained, 53 TWA employees were on board that doomed aircraft in July 1996, most of them deadheading back to Paris.
Barry O is Harvard’s real plagiarist-in-chief
Two weeks ago in this space I documented the good company in which Harvard President Claudine Gay finds herself as an aspiring plagiarist.
Harvard worthies Doris Kearns Goodwin, Laurence Tribe, Charles Ogletree and Fareed Zakaria have all been forced to wear the Scarlet P just in the last 20 or so years.One Harvard plagiarist, however, has managed to escape scrutiny, at least from the mainstream media. But then again, former President Barack Obama. Although I have documented Obama’s perfidy in the past, I raise the issue again, not only because the subject is in the air, but also because others on the right have been raising it without attribution.
Who stabbed Derek Chauvin and why?
Having long ago decided to ignore all inconvenient news, the major media yielded serious coverage of the prison stabbing of Derek Chauvin to the intrepid independent investigator 
Maryam Henein.
As Henein reports, the man who stabbed Chauvin 22 times on “Black Friday” in an Arizona prison is a 52-year-old con named John Turscak. Don’t let the name fool you.The half-Croatian Turscak is serving a 30-year sentence for crimes committed while leading a Los Angeles faction of the Mexican Mafia in the 1990s. As even the major media acknowledge, Turscak was an FBI informant. The intel he provided federal investigators led to the indictments of 40 or so of his former colleagues.
Even after prison stabbing, feds continue to railroad Chauvin
Not satisfied with sentencing an innocent man to prison for 22 years, the federal government has found new ways to punish former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin.That includes a near fatal stabbing of Chauvin on Friday, Nov. 24, in a federal prison in Arizona and the inexplicable refusal to alert Chauvin’s mother about the incident.
There is no evidence that the feds planned this attack or encouraged it, but their failure to anticipate it at the end of a two-week stretch in which Chauvin was continuously in the news raises eyebrows. On Nov. 13, Chauvin filed a motion in federal court claiming he never would have pleaded guilty to a federal civil rights charges in 2021 if he had been aware of the theories of William Schaetzel, a recently retired Kansas forensic pathologist.
Did Democrat ‘Bird-Doggers’ Disrupt Congress on January 6?
Paul Ehrlich and fellow futurists toast coming apocalypse
Amid all the talk of undercover agents and informers from the various police services instigating violence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Democrat party operatives have managed to escape attention. This is an oversight that needs correction.
In doing research for a book on the women of January 6, I came across the curious case of Emanuel Jackson. Although Jackson does not exactly fit the media profile of a raging white supremacist, there is no denying his involvement.
On January 20, 2021, the Department of Justice charged Jackson with two counts of “assault on a federal officer while armed with a deadly or dangerous weapon” and one count “of unlawful entry on restricted building or grounds while armed with a dangerous or deadly weapon.”
Thanksgiving comes early at Charlottesville High
When candidate Joe Biden launched his 2020 presidential campaign, he offered events at Charlottesville, Virginia, as his rationale for running.
Biden specifically citedTrump’s allegedly racist reaction to a 2017 dust-up in Charlottesville, shamelessly misrepresenting Trump’s comments about the violent clash.
“We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” said Biden. He warned that if
Trump were reelected, “He will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are, and I cannot stand by and watch that happen.”
More recent events at Charlottesville High School (CHS) suggest that Biden’s battle has already been lost, So chaotic is the environment at the high school in this leafy university town that 30 teachers staged a sick-out on Friday, forcing the school to stay closed through Thanksgiving. No one should be surprised. Principal Rashaad Pitt, at least until he was canned this week, listed as his foremost area of expertise “restorative justice.”
