Oliver JJ Lane — Muhammad Is Top English Baby Name for Fifth Year Running


What the article misses is that Muslims name their first male child Muhammad in honor of the Prophet. This obviously influences the distribution within a population group that may suggest something about the population that is not the case.

Breitbart News has been accused of representing white nationalism. Breitbart honcho Steve Bannon has publicly disavowed white nationalism.

Make up you own mind.

Joan C. Williams — What So Many People Don’t Get About the U.S. Working Class


Why Hillary lost and Trump won. He got it and she didn't.

But now Trump has to deliver the bacon. So far the strategy seems to be similar to Reaganomics, tax cuts and tax credits for business to increase growth and assume that a rising tide lifts all boats. That has not worked so well since the 70s, since the ownership and managerial classes have increased their share disproportionally over labor.
