Words Of Division
Heather McDonald, on Biden’s inaugural address.
Do they seriously believe this post-modern campus-speak and white bashing is going to unify us (not that I agree with the goal)?
[Update late morning]
You know who likes unity? Tyrants.
[Friday-morning update]
Biden’s militarized inauguration showcased Democrats’ insecurity.
[Update a while later]
Link fixed, sorry.
The Tragedy Of Trump’s Presidency
I largely agree with Andy McCarthy’s requiem. Trump has always been his own worst enemy. I have no hope for the Biden/Harris presidency, other than taking back the House, and perhaps the Senate, in two years. But they’ll only be able to do damage with executive orders, because I think that both houses are already gridlocked, though with nominal Democrat control.

Pioneers And The Future

[Sunday-morning update]
Mark Steyn remembers her.
[January 17th update]
Sheidle among the stars.
[Bumped]
[Afternoon update]
Link is fixed, sorry.
Taiwan
Yes, Trump should recognize it on his way out the door. It’s something he probable would have gotten around to in a second term, but he doesn’t have much time now.
1984
Someone made a trailer of a muppet version, and it does seem watchable.
