Jonah Goldberg is leaving National Review in the coming months to start a new conservative media company with Steve Hayes, who was editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard when its owner shut it down in December.

Details: Goldberg and Hayes tell me they plan a reporting-driven, Trump-skeptical company that will begin with newsletters as soon as this summer, then add a website in September, and perhaps ultimately a print magazine.

Hayes, the likely CEO, and Goldberg, likely the editor-in-chief, are the founders.

Hayes tells me about the startup, which doesn’t have a name now: "We believe there’s a great appetite on the center-right for an independent conservative media company that resists partisan boosterism and combines a focus on old-school reporting with interesting and provocative commentary and analysis."

Hayes and Goldberg are seeking investors.

i too am seeking investors

word on the street is that the center-right is where it's at right now, tons of people in that category, looking for some honest news

the cool thing about seeking investors is if you find the right ones you don't have to seek any readers

^^bingo

We're going to start with a personalized license late, then add a billboard in September, then maybe some skywriting in the future.

good ol' Kevin Williamson

speaking of kevin: lmao

last year we had a fake ad for a Kevin Williamson book about how twitter mobs are oppressing conservatives. Now, Kevin Williamson has announced his new book, and it is about... about how twitter mobs are oppressing conservatives. pic.twitter.com/WfX6eSHylE

these people are deranged

I'm not gonna kink-shame, but they don't HAVE to publish it on the website either.

fabulous heel imo

the most recent Maureen Dowd column alluded to Kamela Harris digging her heel into Biden or something

the last 40 years of politics really can just be boiled down to men feeling emasculated and whites feeling dislodged from the top, like literally every single issue can funnel that way

After what happened to @MrAndyNgo today, and the violence he's been documenting, it seems that Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the KKK ruled Birmingham in the 1960s. Shame on you, Mayor @tedwheeler. Restore law and order to your city. https://t.co/lQ2HnnPpGI

looking for my Portland people to detail how Antifa now controls the streets

oh my goddddddddddddddddddddddd

What happens when conservatives try to vote in Portland?

what rod fails to consider is that beating up andy ngo is good and should be encouraged, actually

The people serving the milkshakes were also making them in the square. I am skeptical of the story going around that said they were adding quick-setting concrete mix to the milkshakes. It is possible someone was picking up a single shake, walking off with it, then adding cement mix, but there have been no official confirmations of this. Several people were drinking their shakes.

the 'cement milkshake' thing is a rapidly-proliferating alt-right mantra/meme with no basis in fact AFAICT

concrete is the serum that supercharges antifa supersoldiers

Speaking as an Asian dude if someone actually beat me up because they genuinely thought I was actually Andy Ngo I'd still be mad but I'd also be like "Yeah okay I get it" https://t.co/40HdTLLjQZ

lol at the recipe for deadly concrete milkshakes including the terrifyingly specific 'chemical additives'

It brings me great sorrow to report that wealthy women who are paid large sums of money to play a game are unhappy with the pay structure for which their union collectively bargained and to which they themselves voluntarily agreed. The foxes have holes, and the birds the air nests; but members of the U.S. Women’s Soccer team are only guaranteed a $100,000 salary to play a game (before bonuses, of course). Let it never be said that ours is a country without tragedy.

The process by which two parties settle a compensation dispute through arbitration and collective bargaining (rather than publicly play-acting as Freedom Riders and disrespecting the country on foreign soil) — “the right way to do it,” if you prefer — has already proven an effective means of improving team pay, if raising team pay is indeed the point.

For a comparable number of “friendlies,” the women’s team compensation leapt from 38 percent to 89 percent of their male counterparts’ with the enactment of the 2017 collective-bargaining agreement, according to the Washington Post. These numbers, which reflect the improvements possible from a simple negation process, are misleading in terms of the disparity between the men and women — the women’s salaries and bonuses are not structured the same as the men’s team, which receives higher bonuses than the women’s team but does not receive a guaranteed salary.

But even this evades the actual point: If the women’s team is unhappy with this arrangement, it is not the fault of the United States, the American flag, Donald Trump, or some distant cabal of sexist white men scheming to stick their thumbs in the face of Megan Rapinoe. It is the fault of both the women’s union representatives and the women themselves for signing an agreement that they were unhappy with. If they didn’t like the terms of the agreement reached by the collective bargaining process, the women’s team was well within its right not to sign it. But, alas, they did sign it. Doesn’t that matter?

if stupidity and racism are mutually exclusive categories, racism is therefore smart. this is a very exciting innovation at nro https://t.co/fLtJq26W9Z pic.twitter.com/SsgAsKu7DL

I'm gonna write a tweet that's gonna tick a lot of people off. Reagan conservatives like me have been called racists -- falsely and maliciously -- all of our lives. So, to many Americans, every charge of racism, no matter how legitimate, rings hollow. Good job, wolf-criers.

— Jay Nordlinger (@jaynordlinger) July 18, 2019

or perhaps it was not so false or malicious...

Look at him. Doesn't Nordlinger look like the Terminator?

I'm ticked off

he was right about thing in that tweet i guess
