https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/plymouth-rock-landed-on-them/ But that is no longer the only reason we don’t look at Plymouth from a Pilgrim perspective. Of the two communities that confronted each other in New England 400 years ago, it may now be the Indians, not the Pilgrims, who most resemble today’s Americans. The Wampanoags were divided between, on one hand, cosmopolitans…
Tablet — Religion, Science, and the Religion of Science
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/religion-science-coronavirus It’s of little surprise, then, that the main flag on view during the Haredi protests last week was the Gadsden flag. Don’t Tread on Me, that quintessentially American cri de coeur, is, these days, primarily the domain of the Haredi community. Everywhere else in the Jewish world, the slogans recited are the confused and…
https://www.steynonline.com/10692/the-last-copier-in-the-woods-arrives-sooner-than If Lindsey Graham and Martha McSally and the Republican Senate survive on November 3rd, so be it. But those of us who’ve expended our energies dragging this useless political party across the finish line every two years need to get serious about redeploying our fast depleting resources into fighting on the turf that matters….
Conservatives Must Fight Big Tech or Lose

https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/10/19/voting-for-life/ Neither of us has endorsed Donald Trump. Both of us have been intensely critical of him on issues of personal character and, in some cases, public policy. We do not claim, as some have claimed, that Catholics and other pro-life citizens have an obligation to cast their ballot for him. The premises of the…
Stop Being Shocked
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/stop-being-shocked America is imperfect. The past few years and the problems they have laid bare have rocked my faith like no others before. But the ideas this country is based on truly are exceptional, worthy of our relentless defense and more. They are under siege by Trumpism, but also by those who suggest that the…
The problem is, like the Prodigal Son, we deserve Biden-Harris
The polls say that Biden-Harris will when handily defeat Trump-Pence, but the evidence says differently. Trump’s rallies are well attended with energetic supporters while Biden’s might as well be public health announcements for social distancing. The problem is, after squandering the fruits of our inheritance of the only country explicitly founded on the laws of…
Pack the Court? Why bother?
Even if Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court, where in history is there any evidence that the Supreme Court, even with substantial majorities of Republican-appointed justices, will do anymore than provide a speed-bump to the Democrat assault on our Republic? The Court’s Dredd Scott made Civil War inevitable and imminent. Plessy…
