They were all nice, they were all intelligent, they were all rational. And they all understood the United States of America in the most convoluted, erroneous way imaginable.

Everything they “knew” about us was derived from the BBC and Le Monde.]]>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:32:00 -0400<![CDATA[A.J.

There is a steadfast refusal to call out their own side’s radicals and nutjobs. In living memory, they’ve tolerated the Occupy Wall Street movement, the rotunda takeovers, the BLM rioters, the Antifa terrorists, Islamic extremists, the Squad clown car, and every blue-haired, errant, non-binary androgyne who identifies as a gelfling one minute and Atreyu’s luck dragon the next.]]>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:17:00 -0400<![CDATA[A.J.

Jean Carroll $5 million for sexually abusing and defaming her.
