Thoughts from VDH on the adolescent “progressive” mind.
Meanwhile, over at The Nation, they’re sounding like National Review.

The New Moon Race
A nice essay at the New Yorker (though it quotes an “historian” as saying that Nixon “killed Apollo.” Johnson did, and Kennedy probably would have, if he hadn’t been assassinated first).
No, Democrats
The Obama administration was not “scandal free.”
And, as noted there, the biggest scandal not just of that administration, but perhaps American history, is on the verge of being unveiled. But the media will continue to attempt to cover it up and distract.
Brie Larson
A rant on her unbearable ingratitude. I haven’t seen the movie, don’t have any immediate plans to.
The Childrens’ Crusade
Thoughts on the modern version of it. What’s horrible is that children like Greta Thunberg are being terrified by leftist propaganda.
JFC, NYT!
Jesus was a Jew, not an Arab. Yes, it’s unlikely that he was blond with blue eyes, unless he was a mutant, but c’mon.
Your Socialism
It’s bad, and you should feel bad.
The Woods Procedures
Were they followed in the FISA-court applications to surveil Carter Page?
It would strongly appear to be not. I think I’m looking forward to Horowitz’s report. And Mueller’s testimony to Congress, when he’s questioned by people who care about the rule of law (i.e., not the Democrats).
The Media, Fusion GPS, And The FBI
There remain a lot of unanswered questions.
Let’s hope Horowitz, Barr, and maybe Huber get to the bottom of them in the next couple months.
Pursue Those Indictments
Yes, what happened here does dwarf Watergate in its corruption and criminality. And yes, it should be, but sadly is not amazing that the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) continue to attempt to deny that the previous administration spied on the political campaign of its political opponent.

No, Joe Scarborough (who has descended deep into idiocy since he teamed up with Mika), the FBI investigation was not “done by the book”:
Presumably some of the spying on the Trump campaign was done “by the book,” but that doesn’t include using false information as pretext to spy on Americans, attempting to extort elected officials through bogus investigations, refusing to charge ideological allies who committed crimes, lying to Congress, refusing to respond to congressional document requests, using intelligence and law enforcement as “insurance policies” against political enemies, widespread unmasking of political opponents and dissemination of their information, using foreign spies to produce evidence not permissible in court, circular introduction of “evidence” to government agents that is reintroduced through media leaks, and various other actions taken by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Scarborough would have you believe that these actions are completely typical and normal, that informants are placed against campaigns all the time. If that’s true, who else are they doing it against? Can Donald Trump’s officials open investigations against the many Democratic candidates without notifying Congress, using bogus opposition research to secure wiretaps? To quote an MSNBC morning host, “Is he that stupid?”
Why, yes. Yes he is.
[Update later Tuesday morning]
Behind the shady plan to spy on the Trump campaign.
