One more thought, Jay, since I know you are both a student of, and a lover with, the English language.

I am astonished at the mispronunciation of the word “luxury”.

This is most prominent in television commercials for car manufacturers, and hawkers of Caribbean vacations.

If I were a more clever fellow, I would write a song- Mark Steyn style- that goes something like:

“There ain’t no “g” in luxury,

And I hope there never will be.

I am happy just the way it is,

Just like my teachers taught me.”

My best to you, brother.

My wife and I are blessed with two Golden Retriever puppies. They are our grandchildren: that is, for now, I pray.

Archie is two, and Sammy is one.

Every once in a while, one of the dogs will “shake” his entire body; the trainer tells us it is their way of performing a reset.

Here is my point: you are my intellectual reset in a world gone mad, Jay.

I return to your writing to make sure I haven’t lost my mind along with my fellow Canadians.

Forgive me, but sometimes I detect a hint of despair in your “voice”; “Is it even worth writing about any longer?”

I want to assure you that your writing is essential. You and your colleagues are protecting the Conservative banner against the barbarians and savages inside the gate.

Theirs is a tale told through the teeth and tongue of cowardice; a story assembled with scissors.

This is why your writing is essential, Jay. It is, in fact, indispensable.

You create “truth without euphemism”, as Mordecai Richler once described his preferred style of writing, and journalism.

It just ain’t Sunday morning without “Super” Jay Nordlinger.

I wish the Democratic Party would be anti-Trump's Putin-snuggling, and therefore be full-bore pro-Ukraine.

I wish they would be anti-Trump's self-absorbed patty-fingers with the Iranian government, and commit to freeing Iran from theocratic tyranny.

I wish they would be anti-Trump's tariff nonsense, and commit to free markets and free international trade.

I wish they would be anti-Trump's attacks on the press, and therefore commit to free speech and free peaceful assembly.

Oh, well. If wishes were horses, we'd all be hip-deep in manure. I actually like horses.

To The Village Idiwitt, I endeavor to make you think a second time, and even better, make you laugh. I have never been one to pen fan mail, I just share my thoughts and beliefs in your comments section, like it or not. How’s I always love going Jaywalking with you, you are write thoughtfully, beautifully, and soberly…Me, I am a Fighting Irish in more ways then just a football fanatic

Speaking of being…A stirring story, indeed, and all the more reason I will NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE a monster, I mean mobster Don King Trump rolling out the bloody red carpet, ON AMERICAN SOIL, for who should be the WORLD’S MOST WANTED DEAD, or alive for you anti Capital punishment folks that I only have grudging respect for such absolutist view.

Here are some messages the lovable, dumb jock King James (God love him, he is dumb, but he heart is the left place) should run on the court with a new number 46 (DOWN WITH 45), I mean the Democrats should run on:

DOWN WITH THE D.S.A….I kid

TIME FOR THE UNITED STATES TO GET A NEW PRESIDENT

FOR GODS SAKE THIS WISE GUY CANNOT REMAIN IN POWER

TRUMP BETRAYED U.S. IMPEACH TRUMP. INDICT TRUMP. HANG MIKE PENCE! HANG MIKE PENCE! HANG MIKE PENCE! I mean remember Ashli Babbitt, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti all died for a complete fing BIG LIE and their real killer is in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office. That is all. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant Onward and Upward, I mean thanks for something beautiful in a depraved Trump political world (haven’t I asked you time and again to stop calling “Trumpers” “Republicans”, I mean, didn’t I say I gotta run on). Peace through superior mental firepower

VIVA UKRAINE and may Putin and all his willing executioners suffer a horrible death

You are amazing, Jay! Thank you for your honesty and pointing out what voters should focus on at the midterm election: voting for a “Putin type person” or a more honorable kind of “Obama person”!

You can guess what I am voting for… LOL 😎👍
