I’m not constitutionally predisposed to protesting, coming from a “Don’t make a scene” Irish Catholic home, but I went to this. I’ve never had so many doting grandmothers ask me why I didn’t bring a jacket as an inflatable unicorn carrying an American flag politely excused themselves past us to avoid stepping on the landscaping.
NO KINGS. Not so much. Elvis has been dead 48 years. Still the King.
OBITUARIES: My sisters and I told our father to write his own. "You can say whatever you want. Anyone who knows different is dead or can't read the small print in an obituary. Say you were Valedictorian and scored the winning touchdown against Wash High."
W.W.J.D. God is always watching. Do not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those that do. Do unto others…On any given Sunday, I am and always will be Roman [comma], Catholic. My Romanticism is tempered by my Catholicism…much as the latter is engrained, whether I believe some Black, I mean White Sox fan is the Vicar of Christ (I sure as hell do not), or if the Nicene Creed is based on a true story (again, sadly, I most definitely do not)
With that off my chest, I see the man pictured above the fold, and to the Village Idiwitt cannot help but think how lucky he will never cross paths with me, as I would proverbially break every fing bone in his body and he would leave my presence feeling like I bashed his head in…for I fing hate liars, and especially those with power. And if I were to ever cross paths with The Don wannabe King for the rest of his life…he would definitely feel like the luckiest man to still be alive.
What would Bill Buckley do, that is the question. Most certainly the headline “Against Trump” issue would never have been forgotten, nor, do I believe, Buckley would have ever forgiven the atrocity of January 6th. I heard you rue the day about how it can, or is it can’t happen here…on sorry to say, an otherwise kinda boring podcast with somebody whose persona I like even less than you care for my coarse language…but I gotta tell you, again, Kristol is not my cup of tea and Frenchie going along to get along with pure pseudo intellectual racialists like Jamelle Bouie and Tresse McMillan makes me want to rip him a new one, as much as I do adore David…because the latter two New York times influencers racial garbage worldviews are just as poisonous to our nations civic fabric as anything that comes out of waste management executive Tony Soprano, I mean Donald Trumps vile mouth…The two New York Times opinions columnist judge everyone, everywhere there little minds roam, just like the pig Don, by race, gender, and tribe, and group everyone in the Us vs Them catagries. Despicable as it is stupid and I so wish David would resign from The Times and return to the Dispatch full time if he cannot stomach the courage to talk back live to such fools, by just being polite. Jesus would be a polite as He was devastating in His critiques of phonies. Imagine what Jesus would have said last Easter when a Presidential candidate, no joke, hawked a Bible with his own unholy name on it…
Which brings my rant back full circle…We the still living, conservative, Republican Americans need to make our protestations heard and seen…No where that dweeb pictured above should he get away with placating and enabling the Trump shitte show. To the extent you still have any influence in the establishment commentariat Jay, everyone who abides the grotesque pig in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office needs to be confronted and pilloried (Have you no shame was a good line). Vance, Rubio, Cruz are too far gone…The mild mannered dweeb pictured above, and maybe even the cowards at the now shamefully political porn mag N.R. can still be scared straight (I could not believe it when I saw McCarthy on Maria Batiromo…what’s next for him, Only One Amerika Network hits). We the people literally have a monster, I mean mobster in the White House. No Republican still standing can afford to look the other way anymore, or our country is going to go the way of Zoo York City and elect a Mandamncommie after everything The Don has erected falls apart. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my sermon, I mean ad homily attack Onward and Upward. Father Jimbo outta here. Peace be with you
My wife and I were surprised to read yesterday evening that we had just been unwitting dupes of George Soros and sinister organizations such as SEIU and Planned Parenthood by virtue of our participation in the local No Kings protest
If so, the least George and such organizations could have done was pay for our lunch outside afterward
Frequently, there are little jewels hidden in Jay’s writing. An example: “He appended an image from a dictionary…” using “appended” instead of the common and more clinical “attached”. I plan to incorporate this into my own everyday usage.
"He was one of the most famous literary critics in the country."
Because I'm a goofball, the phrase "most famous literary critic" brought to mind "best gas-station sushi in Arizona."
But seriously, a review of his Wikipedia entry told me that Mr. Lehmann-Haupt was a fascinating and accomplished person. As I often say regarding Mr. Nordlinger's subjects, "I'm happy to know this person exists."

Surely you've heard the joke (better heard than read, but this is my only option):
"We named our daughter abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz."
"How do you pronounce that?"
"Noelle."

Funny how "hate America rallies" are replete with American flags.

Many look forward to the NYT crossword on Sunday. I look forward to Jay Nordlinger’s Sunday items.
I hope I’m not the only one.
Another excellent summing up

I believe my Mom’s assessment of Mike Johnson would have been unctuous.

I see a YouTube computer generated voice pronounces "wolf" with a long "o".
