Gosh, can't imagine why more and more parents have no trust in the people who run their children's schools. /end

Some of my friends think the NYT piece about the postliberal Right is a hit piece. I don't see it that way at all. Of course it's not favorable to us; the NYT never would be. And I take minor issue with the framing, e.g.,criticizing Soros is not necessarily antisemitic. But /more
I think the piece puts forth our ideas fairly, and correctly portrays us as enemies of the status quo. I tried my best to point out to the reporter that the Left has become both illiberal and hegemonic, and an illiberal Right is to be expected. The NYT and those who /more
regard it as holy writ are correct to see us as the enemy, *because that's how we see them*. Orban is so important because he is a rightist figure who understands the way the Left uses power, and is fighting back on their terms. Next time we get a right-of-center US govt /more

"Everything woke turns to shit." -- Trump, just now. Truest thing the man has ever said.
Now he's going on about our "great generals." If Trump were in the White House, we would never, ever get a real accounting of the Pentagon's 20-year failure. We might not get it with Biden, either, but certainly not with Trump.
Now he's blaming Biden as one who "retreats, and just gives up." Trump negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan! He's just ranting now. This guy is not the future of conservatism.

There's some large guy onstage at the DC rally named "Shofar So Great" (shofarsogreat.com/about-us/) claiming to be an Orthodox Jew who says his rabbi in Israel gave him permission to break Shabbat to support Donald Trump and blow the shofar at the Jericho March.
Now he's blowing the Trump Shofar, especially made for You Know Who. This dude is like a wizard.
Lady in Women For Trump t-shirt came onstage to praise "Yeshua ha Mashiach" -- Jesus the Messiah -- and to sing the Star Spangled Banner. Crowd shouts, "USA! USA!" Now comes Eric Metaxas praising "Yeshua ha Mashiach." Says Eric, "'Hallelujah' is American for 'praise the Lord.'"

Maximo Alvarez, the Cuban refugee from Miami, is a fantastic spokesman for Trump. He's absolutely terrific. I'm near tears. "I may be Cuban-born, but I'm 100 percent American! This is the greatest country in the world."
OK, I'm crying. What a great man.
You don't have to agree with his political choice to recognize what his life stands for, and who he is, is a beautiful thing. That jarring commercial after he finished was terrible.

A thread about Hungarian politics. Make of it what you will. In Budapest last week, I got into a conversation with a service worker at a business that caters to a large tourist clientele. We talked about Viktor Orban. He began by making fun of Orban. It was clear that [more]
he was putting on a mask for the Westerner (me). When I told him that I wasn't going to judge him for his political views, he changed his story. He told me that he was an Orban supporter. Said that he knows that Orban's rule means a fair amount of corruption [more]
(He mentioned the case of the unaccountably rich mayor of Orban's hometown -- something I heard more than once in Budapest.) But the young man said that that was something he could live with. Why? Because V. Orban is the only politician in the country who, in his view, [more]

So: I began today before daylight in Vienna, and now I'm ending the day sitting at gate for Baton Rouge flight, listening to elderly Cajuns discuss pros and cons of wearing Crocs. I give them five minutes before they start on dem Tigahs. This is my life, and I'm happy with it.
Now one of the ladies is talking about how her husband took the dog to the vet because she (the dog) ate a plate of spicy meat and rice that the husband fed her. ("She eats whatevah he eats." The dog sleeps between them too. ("She'll growl at me in da bed.") Dat man loves his dog
"I said to him, 'Wut's da contingency plan if she doys?' He said, 'She betta not doy!' I said to him dat we got alligatahs, so we gotta be thinkin' bout it."
