    William F. Buckley's grand-nephew being part of the Jan. 6 riot kind of gives lie to the idea that Trumpism is a great swerve from historical American conservatism.

        I dunno...maybe the guy simply took after one of his many *other* grand-uncles.

        In fact, I don't think I ever once discussed politics with my own Great Uncle Sam (yes, that really was his name.) I was probably about eight or ten the last time I saw him.

        As we all know, Americans have precisely the same politics as their grand-uncle.

        The great grandson of Pope Alexander VI (the evil Borgia) was St Francis Borgia, 3rd Superior General of the Jesuits and a true saint. Proves Pope Alexander Borgia was not the evil man history says he is!
