"1st, girls are better at verbal tasks. 2nd, boys are better at mathematical tasks. 3rd, boys are more aggressive.   4th, boys are better at some visual-spatial tasks & girls at others.   Put crudely, men are better at reading a map & women are better judges of character & mood -- on average.   (And, interestingly, gay men are more like women than heterosexual men in some of these respects.)...   The old jokes about women noticing things & men losing things about the house & having to ask their wives are true." --- Matt Ridley 1994 _The Red Queen_ pp 250-251 (referencing I.

Jerusalem: the burdensome stone revealed
"...Had Israel attacked its neighbors without provocation or cause?   Had the Jewish state precipitously expelled non-Jews from within its borders?   What great offense did this 'rogue nation' perpetrate to prompt such a united action against it -- including a turning of the back by the United States in the form of an abstention?   Amazingly, when you consider all of the evil being committed in the world today and all of the atrocities committed in the modern world since the formation of the United Nations, what Israel did, has done and will continue to do in the future is to build and repair houses for Jews in its capital of Jerusalem and elsewhere within the borders of Israel..."

"...Encouragement, aid and comfort to the terrorists who have one thing in mind -- constant, bloody attacks on the Jewish state with the purpose of posing a long-term, existential threat to any chance for peace in Israel.   So the next time you hear about a vicious, savage, murderous terror attack in Israel, I want you to remember the names [Barack Hussein Obummer], John Kerry and Samantha Power -- not to mention the rest of this [regime's] national security and diplomatic hierarchy.   And there will certainly be a next time.   [Obummer] knows it.   Kerry knows it.   And Samantha Powers knows it.   This action demonstrates an unleashed and unhinged level of contempt by the [Obummer] gang for USA's best ally in the Middle East, perhaps its best friend in the world, as well as the only self-governing, free nation in the region..."

2016-12-27 (5777 Kislev 27)
Victor Davis Hanson _Jewish World Review_
who are those blasted "elites"?
"...Since ancient times, elites have been defined various ways, sometimes by birth (the Greeks' hoi aristoi), by capital (hoi plousioi), by perceived class (hoi oligoi), by acknowledged influence (hoi gnorimoi), by high culture (hoi beltistoi) -- and sometimes by a combination of all of the above.   Today, people are especially mad at political elites...   The immigration push-back was directed at the managerial class that allowed millions into the West without rudimentary vetting-the work of bunglers and ideologues, not true technocrats...   Second, public furor arises over elite sanctimoniousness [and outright law-breaking and corruption] and hypocrisy.   [Regressive] elites are shielded from the ramifications of their own ideologies. Open borders advocates like former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa or FB [privacy-hating, USA STEM professional-hating] billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, for example, condemn walls and fences as backward and inhumane -- and then ensure that their own residences are quite well fenced and protected from hoi polloi..."

Walter E. Williams _Jewish World Review_
review of Thomas Sowell _Wealth, Poverty, and Politics_
"...The ancient Greeks had geometry, philosophy, architecture and literature at a time when Britain was a land of illiterate tribal people living at a primitive level.   Of course, by the end of the 19th century, Britain was far ahead of the Greeks and ultimately controlled one-quarter of the planet's land.   Such historic reversals have occurred elsewhere.   The ancient Chinese were far ahead of Europeans, but by the 19th century, the relative positions of the Chinese and Europeans were reversed.   Just these 2 examples prove that the same people are not always on top.   Sowell argues there are many factors that explain wealth differences among nations, as well as people within those nations...   A University of Michigan study traced people over a 15-year period and found that 95% of those in the lowest quintile at the beginning of the study were in a higher quintile by the end.   Remarkably, 29% had moved to the top quintile.   An IRS study of tax filers between 1996 and 2005 found similar results.   Sowell says that over time, there are different people in different income categories.   These few snippets here in no way do full justice to Dr. Thomas Sowell's work.   To get all the nuts and bolts, you'll just have to purchase a copy of _Wealth, Poverty and Politics_."

looking back
Town Hall
"Any honest man, looking back on a very long life, must admit -- even if only to himself -- being a relic of a bygone era.   Having lived long enough to have seen both 'the greatest generation' that fought World War 2 and the gratingest generation that we see all around us today, makes being a relic of the past more of a boast than an admission.   Not everything in the past was admirable.   Poet W.H. Auden called the 1930s 'a low dishonest decade'.   So were the 1960s, which launched many of the trends we are experiencing so painfully today.   Some of the fashionable notions of the 1930s reappeared in the 1960s, often using the very same discredited words and producing the same disastrous consequences..."

"...Jordan occupied and annexed the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem [i.e. Eastern Israel] from 1948 until Israel captured the lands in a defensive war in 1967 after Arab countries used the territories to launch attacks against the Jewish state. In 1988 Jordan officially renounced its claims to the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem..."
Palestinian occupation of Eastern Israel has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace.   We call on the Arabs, Persians, non-Jews, etc., to immediately and completely cease and renounce all initiations of force and fraud against Israel and its citizens, of all ancestries and religions.

Newt Gingrich _Fox_
the other half of Trump's "jobs, jobs, jobs" promise is job-specific training
"...Career education is distinct from the 4-year Bachelor of Arts and Science programs you might think of as higher education.   Career education certificates and associate degrees typically take 1 or 2 years, respectively, and rather than providing a broad-based education, they are specifically tailored to prepare students for specific jobs.   The demand for these programs is growing.   Since 2003, per the National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], the number of 'certificate degrees' awarded has increased by 40.9% and the number of associates degrees awarded has increased by 50.8%.   This is a much faster rate of increase than the growth in Bachelor's and Master's degrees of 33%.   Many of these programs are offered at community colleges, but private sector career schools play a vital role as well.   In 2014, more than one-third of certificates and almost one-sixth of associate degrees in America were awarded by private sector career colleges...   According to a recent analysis of Department of Education data by Career Education Colleges and Universities, 78% of vocational/practical nurses and nursing assistants, 74% of medical assistants, 43% of ultrasound technicians, and 39% of surgical technologists are educated at private sector colleges and universities..."
OTOH, ACICS has been "accrediting" visa-mill and degree-mill and certificate-mill outfits which do very little in the way of education or training.   They were simply collecting fees and rubber-stamping all applicants.   Meanwhile, employers have, since 1984, gotten especially stingy in willingness to send new and retained employees to substantive training or invest in the talent and facilities to do the training themselves.   Some of this is due to changes in tax laws and regulations which began late in the Carter administration, and have only worsened since then.   But crony socialist training scams go back many more decades, with government/tax-victim funds pouring into the pockets of those with friends in government, and very little education or training or learning taking place.

as Jeff Sessions moves on, Tom Cotton steps up
"I was among those begging Jeff Sessions not to take a position in the Trump cabinet.   For sure, he will be among the finest attorneys-general in our nation's history, but I feared his departure from the senate would leave a leadership vacuum, with no forceful, knowledgeable immigration skeptic to push back against the [McCain/ Schumer/ Grahamnesty/ Gutierrez/ Pelosi/ Lofgren...] expansionists.   Fear not: Tom Cotton has reported for duty...   Senator Cotton's second sentence gets right to the point: 'President-elect Trump now has a clear mandate not only to stop illegal immigration, but also to finally cut the generation-long influx of low-skilled immigrants that undermines American workers.'   In response to the complaints of business lobbyists that less immigration 'will force employers to add benefits and improve work-place conditions to attract and keep workers already here', Cotton answers: 'Exactly.'   And this: 'Higher wages, better benefits and more security for American workers are features, not bugs, of sound immigration reform. For too long, our immigration policy has skewed toward the interests of the wealthy and powerful: Employers get cheaper labor, and professionals get cheaper personal services like housekeeping. We now need an immigration policy that focuses less on the most powerful and more on everyone else.'   Nor is he simply following the lead of some Republicans, like senator Rubio, who support the current high level of immigration, but want a reallocation away from cheap labor for fast-food restaurants toward cheap labor for tech firms.   Instead senator Cotton prefaces his desire for 'a re-orientation toward ultra-high-skill immigrants' with a call for 'a large reduction in legal immigration'.   Senator Cotton's emphasis on helping USA (and previous immigrant) workers is important, not just politically and as policy, but morally as well..."

when bubbles burst -- how the mystery of champagne bubbles can lead us to victory in the modern culture wars: freeing our potential for greatness
"...[Many of us] have lost all ability to cope with inconvenience, delay, and change.   A web-site refusing to load, a text not returned in 15 seconds, or our favorite TV show preempted by an amber alert -- these are the crises of our times, the insufferable challenges of our era.   It is both laughable and tragic to imagine how we would manage had we to face the hardships of the crossing of the Mayflower, the Great Depression, or the Battle of the Bulge -- let alone Auschwitz or the Soviet gulag.   The plight of Syrian refugees right now across the sea is too horrific for us to even contemplate.   So we don't.   Wer'e too comfortable inside our bubbles, insulated from the cold, hard realities that most humans have had to endure through the ages.   We hide away from the rest of the world, until something pricks the surface to burst our bubbles --- leaving us in pieces and gasping for breath...."

"...Lavishing money on a few showcase projects won't do anything for Trump's trucking-company friend who complains that he has to buy 'the cheapest trucks and the strongest tires' because the highways are so bad.   It wouldn't improve most Americans' everyday experiences.   Repairing roads may not be as inspiring as an optimistically priced $100M [and more likely $2G] mag-lev train from Washington to Boston, but it's likely to create much more value for the money..."

David North _Center for Immigration Studies_
4 of the non-equal evils of the H-1B visa system
"Various messages over the last few of weeks have reminded me that there are four distinct, and non-equal, evils built into the H-1 program for foreign workers, two considerably more significant than the 2 others.   The first 2 are pretty obvious to all except the employers [and immigration lawyers] and their lobbyists:   Evil #1.   The system lowers wages for workers where it operates, and denies jobs to perfectly well-[able and willing] residents of the USA.   This is an evil by design.   Evil #2.   The system allows many employers, such as the Indian outsourcing firms to discriminate on the multiple variables of gender, national origin, and age.   This is an evil that the system tolerates.   Both of them are more important that the next 2 [because of the numbers of individuals harmed].   Evil #3.   Some (usually Indian-American) middlemen use the system to shake down bribes from H-1B workers, who are usually from India.   Evil #4.   Some H-1B workers, who are really not qualified for the jobs they seek, defraud their employers with fake resumes and academic records.   These are accidental evils.   I sense that the second set of evils are less important than the first two, because they impact smaller groups of people.   They play an unintended useful role, however, in that they tend to sully the name of a program which deserves to be terminated anyway..."

after decades of economic suppression, massive reductions in relocation assistance by employers, and targeting of personal, private transportation, Obummer regime efforts to drive up costs of gasoline, oil & electricity, and crush the coal industry, USA citizens are less on the move
"...There is heavy domestic out-migration [emigration] from high-cost, [over-populated, over-crowded, over-regulated,]high-immigration metro New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to the interior.     But people in the Rust Belt have been staying put...   Only 2M black and white Southerners moved to the higher-pay North between 1865 and 1940, even as 30M European immigrants streamed there.   Southerners considered the North a nightmarishly alien territory..."
