Ah, the Friday Frolics never disappoint! Again, incredibly, Fetterman is the voice of reason on immigration, and Nate Hochman's assessment of the Biden administration "It's a state at war with its own nation" rings true.....
Does anyone know how or why Taylor Lorenz has a job? Does she really get paid for what she does? She must be from the right family or sleeping with the right person because I'm not seeing anything redeeming coming from her.
Perhaps Sahara Dula should experience some non Western culture as Konstantin Kisin opines. I would recommend 5 years in an Ecuadorean prison or the same in a Russian gulag. Either way, she intentionally tried to kill a cop by her own admission. Prison time for her is needed, if only to keep her from trying to murder or assault other people.
“Like Trump, Hitler was also viewed as a clown, a goon who could be kept in line.” — MSNBC’s Joy Reid - unlike Joy, whose leash & collar & clown make up are easily evident upon each viewing. Anti-nausea pills recommended.
“At a baseline level, governments are supposed to ensure basic goods: Clean streets. Competent police. Functional airlines. Secure borders. Our political system isn’t just apathetic about those things. It’s actively opposed to them. It’s a state at war with its own nation.”
It's also fascinating that the same governments that fail at most of the basics while having the largest budgets ever in history deems itself competent at solving larger crises around the world. Can't organize a piss-up in a brewery but somehow they can "fix" the climate? Please...
Brad, I read the City Journal article “Funding for Failure”. My mind boggled at the enormous budgets quoted but the sentence which really blew my mind was “Naturally the California legislature is sending a new gusher of taxpayer dollars ($25 billion) to the schools to fight this truancy”. From the perspective of a non-US citizen, these numbers are staggering.
I am going to join the echoes of "great post, Brad". These weekly quotes and links are by themselves worth subscribing to your substack.
I especially appreciate the weekly "Taylor Lorenz" brain farts. I had never heard of this woman until recently. Still think she may be performance artist or maybe even a bot.
"...who intentionally ran over a police officer in New York City"
I've been reading too much snark lately. I read this as 'inspirationally' instead of intentionally... I figured out my mistake after not reading 'brave' or 'stunning' after.

Excellent, excellent, but also excellent!

Who knew John Fetterman would turn out to be so reasonable
Brilliant work as always Brad.

Thank you, Brad - excellent links. It’s refreshing to have some good news for a change.

I read the story about the two Missouri farm families and the murder mystery that ensued... very interesting. 👍. ( Links, at bottom of page)
I recognize the Minnesota teen. He was leading a Defund the Police Rally.
