An Insight into College Admissions and Proxy Preferences
According to reports by The Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium, top law school administrators are actively strategizing ways to bypass the Supreme Court’s ban on race-based admissions. However, they are concerned that adopting “socioeconomic preferences” as a proxy will lead to an overrepresentation of white and Asian students. This conference also shed light on the potential legal implications, as creating a “record” to circumvent the ban could be used against them. It is evident that universities are making attempts to find proxies for racial preferences, sparking concerns about their true intentions behind admissions changes.
The Paradox of Media’s ‘Pro-Democracy’ Stance and Voting
In a thought-provoking piece by The Wall Street Journal’s James Freeman, he questions the contradictory behavior of media professionals who consistently warn about attacks on our form of government while simultaneously promoting misleading attacks on it. He highlights psychologist Adam Grant’s controversial argument against the concept of voting, suggesting that eliminating elections would enhance the integrity of public office. Freeman argues that Grant’s historical reference to ancient Athens, where citizens themselves had significant decision-making power, actually supports democracy rather than acting as an argument against it.
A Critical Look at Tucker Carlson’s Interview Style
In a critique by Reason’s Jacob Sullum, he expresses disappointment in Tucker Carlson’s handling of an interview with former President Donald Trump. Sullum argues that Carlson failed to question Trump’s allegations about the 2020 election being rigged and gave him an easy pass on the topic of his four indictments. Sullum perceives Carlson’s approach as overly favorable and lacking proper journalistic scrutiny, as he failed to challenge Trump or seek clarification on various issues. This one-sided interview style undermines the integrity of journalism.
House Subpoenas for Hunter Biden Testimony
After prolonged waiting for voluntary testimony regarding the Department of Justice’s alleged cover-up of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes, the House has resorted to issuing subpoenas to compel testimony. According to Rep. Jason Smith, the agencies involved have obstructed efforts to reveal the truth about the meeting where the US Attorney was denied the ability to press charges against Hunter. This raises suspicion about their reluctance to cooperate with Congress, suggesting potential hidden motives. The House Republican majority will persist in demanding answers to ensure an honest justice system for the public.
Understanding the Economic Constraints for the US to Emulate Norway
In an insightful piece by Brian Riedl and John Gustavsson in City Journal, they address the question of why the US cannot replicate the social democracy seen in Nordic countries. They highlight that key aspects of the Nordic economic systems would face opposition and prove unworkable in America. For instance, combining Nordic-style healthcare generosity with America’s inefficient cost structure would only create additional burdens. Additionally, the US has substantial defense expenditures that cannot be significantly reduced. Moreover, the top income-tax rate in Scandinavian countries begins at a level equivalent to $96,000 in the US, highlighting the unrealistic burden on the wealthy. Building a massive welfare state solely at the expense of the rich is not a feasible approach in any country.
