One of the most commonly heard debater’s challenges, online and in real life, is: “Are YOU an expert in (X)?” The obvious if generally unspoken corollary is: “If not, then shut up.” However, very often, you don’t need to. There is little evidence that a smart normal citizen, capable of effective analysis of empirical data, cannot criticize the work of academic or journalistic “experts” in most fields—or any reason that he or she should be intimidated by these title-holders. Ob...

On the Peculiar Character of American ‘Racism’ Commentary That America is a racist country is the great self-evident truth of the Left and of the ruling class whose moral opinions are shaped by it. This truth is self-evident in the sense of being readily apparent to them, as evidenced by the countless disparities in life outcomes between blacks and whites.

For instance, in New Jersey, where I work, data show that 25% of all pregnancies in our state are "unintended" and nearly 435,000 women live in "contraceptive deserts," which means theres no reasonable access to these services. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated barriers to care and highlighted inequities everywhere. Providers can promote qu...
