Great article, kid. (I’m six months older we determined!). Jay, perhaps you or one of your kind readers more knowledgeable than me can explain the metaphor “I’m feeling a draft! Have I missed my deadline?” In context I think you are mostly honored by the comment at the diner, but perhaps a little embarrassed. Please help out a poor gubmint-edumacated soul who must have missed that lesson in Literary References class. And keep the up the great writing! And … keep the faith!
Jumped out to read the reviews and thoroughly enjoyed both. You have me considering subscriptions to both The New Criterion and The Dispatch. Not sure I can afford to keep reading you. 😂
Jay 2026! Frédéric Gros: "The core of a revolution is when each person refuses to leave to anyone else their ability to efface themselves so that justice may be restored, […] when each has the experience of the impossibility of delegating care for the world to others."
"California has become the third U.S. state to designate Diwali—the Hindu “Festival of Lights”—as an official statewide holiday.
"Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law Tuesday to go into effect on Jan. 1. It would authorize public schools and community colleges to close on Diwali."
Well, California does have the largest Hindu population on the US, at about 780K folks. So that's not so strange. However, there are 1.25 M of us Jews here in the Golden State. So Governor Newsom, when are we getting Yom Kippur on the offical holiday calendar?
2024 figures showed the cost of being competitive for a competitive US Senate seat at $175 million, so a million bucks a week a year before the election is probably right in the ballpark.
To the Village Idiwitt, it is not a coin flip that Idiocracy is becoming more based, and I do mean based, on a true story everyday. Why cannot someone with balls and brains just mug the supposed professing Christian Mike Johnson with a proverbial mic…seriously…and get a straight answer out of what is left of his conscience. Seriously, render under Trump is not a God I would believe in…and neither would the no good Speaker if he had an ounce of courage, or shame left…But what is wrong with the Franklin Mint rendition of the Trump coin is The Dons fist should more appropriately be a ✋ for bringing awfully bad new meaning to heil to the chief. Where is the outrage you ask…For it goes without saying, all things being equal, if Trump were a Democrat turning the Oval Office into a room strait outta the Hefner Playboy mansion…there would be 24/7 outrage on FOXXXY News about how the President is a shameless, mendacious, narcissistic, megalomaniac, two bitconman, crony capitalist pig Il Duce wannabe Tony Soprano in the flesh…No need to apologize for dancing on a dead murderers grave Jay…as anyone named Foerster should have every right to travel to Cuba to, pardon my French, shitte on her no good legacy…But we the living in Idiocracy and i dare admit I have gone nuts, I mean mad at my formerly beloved party for selling their collective souls out to…trigger warning, courtesy of South Park begging the one and only question out loud to Trump- Are you fing Satan…God HELP U.S. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking this nutters rant Onward and Upward. Peace through superior mental firepower

I like the idea of Trump on a coin;
Wooden Nickel.
I find that the almost universal use of whataboutism as an argument by Trumpists fails completely when you agree: "Yes, that's just as bad."

Glad to see there was some pushback
Good stuff. The Assata Shakur praise is perplexing.
Just listened to the interview on the Remnant. Also good stuff.
Thx so much.
