Et tu, Megyn? – battles on right and left
This isn’t really primarily about Megyn Kelly, but I mention her because she’s somehow gotten herself involved in the entire Fuentes/Owens/Carlson/Shapiro brouhaha. It’s hard to write about any of this without sounding like a junior high school gossip – “he … Continue reading →
Whatever happened to Tucker Carlson?: Part II
[Part I can be found here. I also plan a Part III.] In Part I, I discussed the background to Tucker’s profound isolationist advocacy and his hatred of “neocons” as having their origin in his deep anger and embarrassment at … Continue reading →
Whatever happened to Tucker Carlson?: Part I
That’s a question many people have been asking. This post is my answer – or Part I of my answer, because the story is long and there’s a Part II. However, at the outset I want to say that, although … Continue reading →

More evidence that part of being a leftist for some people is being misinformed/uninformed
Indeed: This must be discussed more. I know people who believe that the assassination attempt was faked and that Trump was not shot. When I ask how did Corey Comperatore [spelled wrong; I’ve corrected it] die, not a single one … Continue reading →
Even the MSM is starting to admit that Bolton may really be guilty
The evidence is starting to be harder to deny. At least, it’s become more clear that the re-opening of the investigation of Bolton is justified: The New York Times wisely expanded its narrative from it not being clear “what culpability … Continue reading →
The Israeli left, the NY Times, and Netanyahu
This Tablet article by Gadi Taub is terribly depressing, although nothing in it is new to me and nothing should be a surprise. I think it’s especially disheartening, though, because it puts it all together in fairly succinct fashion: the … Continue reading →
On the decline of The New Yorker: case in point, Doreen St. Félix
I subscribed to The New Yorker from around 1975 to 2005. I loved the magazine for most of those years and if I recall correctly it was the only magazine to which I subscribed. Many weeks I read it cover … Continue reading →
