The Rise and Fall of the Never-Trump Machine
At Tom Klingenstein's place: Kamala Harris and the Democrat establishment may have blown over a billion dollars to lose the 2024 election, but it’s their Never Trump allies most likely facing oblivion after President Donald Trump’s historic victory. If so, good riddance. My sentiments exactly. Circa 2016, the NT-ers were warning that Trump would destroy…

Elon Musk: If Trump loses, 2024 will be our last election
Here. The title claim begins at 3:05. His explanation of the claim is cogent, and I fear he is right. 'Interesting' times, these. Who could be bored? UPDATE 10/28: Elon at the Trump MSG rally.

Trump softened his stance on abortion: so sit out the election?
Abstaining from voting would be consummately stupid and would amount to the old mistake of letting the best become the enemy of the good.

'Asinine' is exactly the right word, deriving…

Is the Enlightenment the Problem?
This is a redacted repost from 21 June 2015. In the subsequent eight years, we in the West are 'infinitely' worse off than before. Time to re-visit the topic and re-assess. Mournful was the tocsin Malcolm Pollack sounded in 2015; what must its sound be today? ……………………….. Malcolm laments via e-mail: Don't things seem to…

Defeatism
It's a pretty good article until the final paragraph: I don’t think the election of Donald Trump in 2024, if it were to be allowed, would make any fundamental difference in The System. He couldn’t change it in his first term, and he wouldn’t be allowed to change it in a second. At the same…
