I’m generally not a huge fan of the National Review, but, well, I’m in an excitable mood these days, ready to let out a mighty cheer of affirmation at the drop of a hat, really, and the folks at NR dropped a lot more than that when they published an absolutely sensational piece by one…

The Benedict Strategy, Spinoza Edition
I don’t know if you’re up on Rod Dreher, who moans and groans with varying degrees of accuracy regarding the woke folks over at the American Conservative. Rod, a floridly passionate Christian, seems to have undergone several denominational makeovers, rejecting the Catholic Church to settle, I think, somewhere in the fields of Eastern Orthodoxy. Awhile…
Psycho or senile? Uncle Joe puts his foot in it.
Yeah, Uncle Joe should not have said, speaking of Vladimir Putin, “This man cannot remain in power”. Okay, it appears to have been an adlib, which is slightly less worse than being scripted, and it’s precisely the sort of thing the clearly non-senile Barack Obama used to say as well. But you’d think American presidents…
Is Joe Biden playing four-dimensional chess in Ukraine?
Well, probably not, but it does look like he’s got a nice three-carom billiard shot at home, bouncing Vladimir Putin off of both Tucker Carlson and Mitch McConnell as a way of exacerbating the friction between the True-Trumpers like Tucker and the “Why Won’t He JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY!” crowd headed by Mitch himself. If…
Is Charlie Sykes the new Dick Morris?
Well, I hope so, and I hope Joe Biden or his “people” will take the hint, if not from Charlie himself then the myriad of excellent sources Charlie collects in his recent piece for “The Bulwark”, Joe Biden Needs Four Sister Souljah Moments, explaining why Joe needs to “get tough” with the Democratic Party’s newly…
Hey, hey, President Biden! How many kids did you kill today? Well, not many, as it turns out.
Yes, shocking news reported by The Week’s Ryan Cooper: Joe Biden is a good guy! Who’s all but halted the “blind man’s bluff” approach to targeting “bad guys” and anyone standing next to them initiated by President Barack Obama and heavily juiced by his successor, Donald Trump. Cooper explains how the supposedly fool-proof mechanisms developed…
Democrats in disarray! Who could have seen this coming?
Well, who but everyone? Yes, Joe Biden and his Merry Band have been hit with lots of bad news beyond their control, like the D variant, which put the kibosh on the back to new normal celebrations of last spring, and the continuing flood of desperate immigrants, and the rise in gas prices, and inflation…
For the Democrats, suddenly it’s 1978. And 1994. And 2010. Has anyone seen Dick Morris?
Yes, Democrats never seem to learn. Winning an election doesn’t mean you get to have everything you’ve always wanted for Christmas. You could, I guess, excuse Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, for all getting it wrong, but Joe Biden, surely the oldest DC hand ever elected to the presidency, can’t exactly claim…
“Farewell” to the American Empire? GOOD RIDDANCE!
“Decline is a choice!” bellowed the late Charles Krauthammer back in the day, livid (to say the least) that that pantywaist in the White House hadn’t yet bombed the hell out of whomever Charles felt needed such treatment. And his spiritual children, the Trump-battered nextgen neocons at the Dispatch and the Bulwark are continuing to…
Uncle Joe or Uncle Fuck-Up? Biden blows it big time. Again.
I desperately want Joe Biden to succeed as president, if only because of the alternative. But I’m starting to wonder if Uncle Joe wants it. His record for the past month or so has been abysmal. First there was the monumental bungling of the eviction relief issue, sourly and accurately summed up by David Von…
