SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:

And you know what looks prophetic? Anthony Bradley’s book from last year, Heroic Fraternities: How College Men Can Save Universities and America.

21ST CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: Dobbs didn’t cause the birth dearth. “It is a step in the right direction that liberal columnists such as Catherine Rampell are not only acknowledging that birthrates are declining in the United States but also admitting it is a problem. Unfortunately, Rampell then reverts to fact-free blind partisanship by blaming the Republican Party for the phenomenon.”

That’s the usual progression. First, there is no problem. Second, there is a problem, but it’s the Republicans’ fault. But the facts are different: “The 17 states with the highest general fertility rates are all designated by Cook Political Report as Republican, or GOP-leaning, including such Republican strongholds as North Dakota, Nebraska, Louisiana, Utah, and Texas. By contrast, the bottom six states — and nine of the ten states with the lowest fertility rates — are all either Democratic or Democratic-leaning. … Only two Democratic states have birthrates above the national average, compared with 20 Republican states with above-average fertility.”

A RELIGIOUS TEST FOR SPACE EXPLORATION?

An editorial recently published on SpaceNews took the position that my company’s Luna Memorial Spaceflight service should not be permitted on the Moon because the Navajo Nation views the Moon as sacred.

No religious tests. And no religious vetoes on humanity’s future.
