RICHARD FERNANDEZ: NO SAFE SPACE. “Taking offense at anything is now common for two reasons, intersectionality and the death of privacy. . . . This means no public policy issue can be examined in an environment free from hatred.”
VOX GOT IT WRONG? I’M SHOCKED! In defense of Amy Wax:
University of Pennsylvania Professor of Law Amy Wax was subjected to a smear campaign following her remarks at the National Conservatism Conference on July 15, 2019. A writer for the website Vox, Zach Beauchamp, characterized Wax’s statements on immigration as ‘an outright argument for white supremacy.’ The founder of the conference, Yoram Hazony, quickly denied Beauchamp’s allegation. Hazony tweeted, ‘In fact she made no such argument.’ Beauchamp held his ground and offered what he said was a transcript of part of Wax’s remarks.
Others, such as David Marcus, Rod Dreher, Jeremiah Poff, Steve Sailer, Mark Pulliam, and Steven Hayward pointed out that Beauchamp had completely mischaracterized Wax’s remarks. Wax had argued for a merit-based immigration system to the United States that takes account of shared cultural values. She emphatically did not call for race-based immigration policies. Rather, she acknowledged that cultural-alignment policies could be attacked for producing disparate racial results, and that this is a hurdle that advocates of cultural-alignment policies must expect to meet.
Read the whole thing.
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): If you believe Beauchamp’s reports on anything, well, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU MEAN BY “WORK.” It’s starting to look like even China can’t make socialism work. It works really well at empowering people who couldn’t make it in a free market economy, and steering lots of goodies to them.
CONRAD BLACK: Why the Left So Despises Donald Trump.
The Democrats are almost leaderless. The Clinton faction is discounted by the election result, the appalling fraud of the Steele Dossier, and many unsavory financial questions; President Obama remains somewhat popular but is a rather withdrawn figure. In these circumstances, the frolicsome Democratic Left has made the running, and as usually happens, the more strenuous factions of the party out of the White House have the most energy, which in these times means that the Democrats have made a seismic shift to the left.
This has been magnified by the fact that the further to the economic and foreign-policy left one is, the more repulsive Donald Trump appears. The far-left faction of the Democrats, led by congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, have with this big, very white, rigorously politically incorrect billionaire, what they believe, tactically and by uncontainable impulse, is the target of their political dreams.
Mr. Trump is the personification of every policy they hate and every human trait they despise; to them, he is a monster of ignorance, greed, bombast, bellicosity, and racist bigotry. They are like World War II movie submarine captains seeing a thousand feet ahead of their periscopes a giant enemy oil tanker, inching through still waters.
Their hate is real, but their impression of the target is a chimerical mirage.
The Two Minute Hate was always ginned up, and the Left is now in its third year of never-ending two-minute hate cycles.
AN OPENING FOR YALE ALUMS TO BRING SANITY BACK TO OLD ELI: Georgetown law prof, FIRE board member, and Heterodox Academy co-founder Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz needs 4,266 Yale alumni signatures to get on the trustee ballot.

DEMOCRATS TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH THAT? Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo is chairman of the Democratic Governors’ Association (DGA).

Where I’m from in the South (Oklahoma and Texas), that’s called the Good Ole Boys network in action.
