What to make of the intelligence failure over the Steele Dossier?

The New Blue Confederacy
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Why are progressive regions of the country—especially in the old major liberal cities (e.g., Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle)—institutionalizing de facto racial quotas through “proportional representation” based on “disparate impact”?

Why the Left Always Projects
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents.
