New edition! New cover! New content! New low price!
Out this week. The history you never learned in school; the argument you never thought you’d make
What if having Canada-friendly Democrats in both legislative chambers actually makes 2027 and 2028 worse and more menacing for Canadians? I examine the possibility of a foreign-revenge executive with nothing to lose (and Miller pulling the strings)
When the first and only adjective used to describe a press secretary — proudly, by the official hiring said press secretary — is “violent”
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

A hilarious irony here is Elon’s 500 million achieved nothing in part because the Texas door-knocking firms hired by his super-PAC were unable to reach many doorsteps due to the extreme unavailability of labour resulting from the immigration restrictions he was paying to maintain

Sooner rather than later it might be worth discussing the strategic implications of scenarios in which the President of a great power and his closest backers in business and tech elites have gone insane
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

A little taster on Miller's approach to life....
I did a big profile of Stephen Miller earlier this year.
Called it "The Most Dangerous Man in America".
This is going to go badly.

I’m fine with ending clock changes but why oh why would provinces in Canada of all places choose to stick with the “pitch dark on winter mornings” setting rather than the “comparatively nice on winter mornings” setting? It’s measurably a worse choice

I’m imagining that every paragraph in this novel ends with a sentence like this. Which will be hard to capture in the coming Martin Scorsese adaptation, like a gazelle that leaps over the electric fence to avoid the men with rifles
It’s coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array —
Democracy is coming, to the U.S.A.
