Just renewed the davidfrum.com domain for 5 more years to preserve access to eg this tribute to Christopher Hitchens davidfrum.com/article/christ…
Some features on the davidfrum.com website that may interest

I gathered here 160 short book reviews I've written over the years of books old and new that I've enjoyed/benefited from davidfrum.com/articles?categ…
I've posted here, at no charge, my e-book Why Romney Lost. The book was written before election, published 36 hours after. Its message - don't threaten to take away people's health coverage - remains timely (I think) all these years later. davidfrum.com/files/2017-11/…
Finally, at this tab I've collected my "second thoughts" davidfrum.com/articles?categ… - issues or positions I've changed my mind about or at least reconsidered
The articles on davidfrum.com are a selection of pieces dating back to 1994. All my work for the Atlantic is archived here theatlantic.com/author/david-f…

Malarkey alert.

An hour ago, President Trump excitedly retweeted this
So I clicked the link and read the short - only 5 paragraphs! - article publicized by the president. It concludes thus bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Just a reminder to anyone covering Trump trade news: literally *nothing* this president or his officials say about trade can be trusted. Check everything.

Oh by the way, there is still no text of the so-called agreement announced 10 days ago wsj.com/articles/trump…

In other words, 50% more Americans favor removing Donald Trump after his impeachment by House than favored removing Bill Clinton after his impeachment by House.

Mark Meadows is living Congress because a judicial panel struck down the gerrymander essential to his political survival citizen-times.com/story/news/loc…
How it's done in North Carolina
Meadows is in Congress because the liberal city of Asheville was split between NC-10 and NC-11, drowning its votes with GOP rural votes. In 2020, all of Asheville will be in Meadows' NC-11, meaning he's probably a goner in a year of anti-Trump revulsion

It looks like a crushing defeat for Corbyn, but now with Brexit all but guaranteed, perhaps the old communist is finally fulfilling the Comintern's mandate to bring down the British empire!
I hope the Democrats hear the message from the UK this time. Avoiding the biggest issue with wild promises of controversial changes when people want sanity & stability is the way to get four more years of Trump.
I'll follow up on this at length in an article, but I've already written warning variations of it many times. If the response to radicalism is more radicalism on the other side, eventually only the most extreme are happy.

Do (supposed) parallels between #Christ and some #pagan #gods prove that #Jesus was based on pagan gods?
Um, NO, and the #Undertaker will show why:
#Debunking about to commence...
Jesus Mythicists will try to find whatever parallel they can with Christ in order to make him a mythological figure, in order to cast doubt on his existence, his historicity.
As many have noted, these parallels are faulty at best, absurd at the worst. Indeed, many of the
supposed parallels are clever lies, intended to fool a public that is poorly educated on history and generally not willing to check their sources.
But let’s look at their logic, shall we? Let’s look at their argument, expressed as letters:
B has many similarities to A

🚩VERY IMPORTANT!

2. So far, 5 countries’ governments have returned our heritage (USA, Canada, Germany, Singapore & Australia). However, UK seems reticent about our murtis and heritage that were forcibly taken away.
3. Phase A of this effort involves going into British Museums and capturing Indian heritage that should come back (with a silent protest).

1) There is a meeting scheduled tomorrow between key congressional oversight committee heads (Nunes, Gowdy etc.) and leadership of the FBI (Director Wray),
2) DOJ (Edward O’Callaghan) and ODNI (Dan Coats). The meeting was set up by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and the purpose of the meeting is to come to some agreement on access to documents being withheld by the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI.
3) However, amid the ongoing debate over spies & informants used by the CIA & FBI to conduct political surveillance, there’s an aspect of the ongoing investigation that seems to be entirely overlooked.

Fab that conservatives oppose Trump, but it would also be fab if post-Trump conservatism didn't just return back to...this. /1
19:32 is where #DavidFrum says JFK broke into political enemies' psychiatrists' offices, too, just like Nixon, or something. /2
25:05 is where #DavidFrum says LBJ just should have put down riots "more forcefully," then stammers to non-respond when I note cops killed 23 in Watts (oops, actually 34) and state police went on a murder rampage AFTER the Newark riots were subdued /3
