Income disparity not based on raceWilliam Sullivan: ... Yes, white Americans earn more, on average, than black Americans. That's a data point, not a story. In reality, there are many more data points to consider beyond this little cherry-picked microcosm of how races and ethnicities financially perform in American life.

All of these groups of Americans out-earn white Americans, on average. Why, that's evidence of institutional racism, right? If a dispar... read more

The Bin Laden miscalculationPower Line: ... Bin Laden and the Taliban miscalculated by underestimating the likely response to the 9/11 attacks by the U.S. government: The miscalculation by al-Qaeda and its allies was not to anticipate that America would respond by launching a full-scale war on Afghanistan.

And they’re ready to talk. The left in this country continues to overreact to the events of Jan. 6.
