Jeff Bergner does a fantastic job listing the ways experts misled people over the last few years. It’s quite a damning list.

That’s not the whole story, of course. Americans’ distrust of experts has a long and complicated history. But the fact that the experts have been doing such a terrible job recently certainly fuels the fire.

That’s why we still have this.

But I hear they may finally take it down this weekend.

Tucker Carlson has been pushing the idea of cameras in the public government schools.

That seems like a pretty obvious thing to do.

“Hey, parent, turn your child over to the government-approved minder for 7 hours a day, and no, you have no right to know what we’re doing to them.”

I don’t want government-run schools at all. I think the very idea is ludicrous. It sounds like something out of Mao’s little red book.

But if we’re going to have them, shouldn’t they be accountable to the public?

Of course they should.

I don’t want any more movie adaptations of The Lord of the Rings. While I’m sure some of the visual effects will be stunning, they’re just going to mess it up.

Some fans have signed a petition begging Amazon to keep nudity out of their upcoming Tolkien series.

I agree with that, but nudity is hardly the biggest threat. I already see articles about how Merry and Pippin or Frodo and Sam were a couple. The odds are good this new rendition will include some completely gratuitous wokeness. (Between the two, I’d prefer gratuitous nudity, but I’d rather have neither.)

This past weekend, the Tolkien Society, one of the oldest of the Tolkien fan groups, hosted its annual seminar in which members present papers on their research and analysis of the author’s body of work. This year, the theme was diversity. [Of course it was.]

“Spurred by recent interpretations of Tolkien’s creations and the cast list of the upcoming Amazon show The Lord of the Rings, it is crucial we discuss the theme of diversity in relation to Tolkien,” the seminar’s organizers wrote in a call for papers.

I am sick to death of this diversity BS, and I don’t want a bunch of movie makers stuffing their woke ideologies into Middle Earth.

When SCOTUS recently ruled that Philadelphia could not exclude a Catholic adoption agency from its foster program just because the agency does not place children with gay couples, Ben Shapiro complained on his podcast that it was too narrow and could not be cited as precedent.

Looks like Gorsuch disagrees.
