    "finally"

    Trump on Ulysses S. Grant: "He had a serious problem. A serious drinking problem. But man was he a good general. And he's finally being recognized as a great general."

    Unlike the rest of Canada where any old lazy bone can succeed ... wait, is this the message Scheer wants to run on?

    Scheer says Trudeau just doesn't understand Alberta, which is a hard place. You have to work hard here to succeed here, he says, whether it's natural resources or farming

    Has anyone written an expose on Saudi funding of American think tanks and how that distorts foreign policy discourse? Seems like a ripe topic for discussion.

    Oh look, the president's son is endorsing the smearing of an American permanent resident who all evidence suggests was murdered and dismembered.

    Junior endorsing the idea that maybe Khashoggi deserved to be murdered by his government?

    I disagree wth about 85% of what Hugh Kenner believed (including many of his literary judgements) but the man was smart as hell.

    The Federalist is notoriously bad but this is wretched even by their standards. (Who funds that site, by the way?)

    This is despicable. Sean Davis, founder of the , spreads a pathetic smear about Jamal , the journalist and activist who is presumed dead and was reportedly killed at the behest of the Saudi regime.

    I remember being shocked by the declining life expectancy in Russia after the fall of communism, which really had no precedence in the modern world outside of war. Now we have another example (on a lesser scale,so far).

    This will be the third straight year with declining life expectancy in the U.S. — We’ve not had anything like this before. (And before we put on our tribal jerseys to shout, it is worth noting that very little of this is about politics...)

    "Always a strong bias toward atavistic Chestertonian singing & shouting among the more fluent gentry of the right," -- Hugh Kenner, killing a thousand writers with quip.

    What the what....

    I wrote about how some LDS women are reacting to the church's suggested 10-day social media fast for women just weeks before a major election.

    The true position on this is that the only good Dune novel is the first one.

    If I were president I would tweet relentlessly about the evils of the Dune prequels and force this important topic onto the national agenda.

    I want to arrest Hillary Clinton and Hussein Obama for rigging the election to give Clinton the popular vote and Trump the electoral vote. If they were smart, they would've done it the other way around!

    Right Side Broadcasting, my go-to rally livestreamer, is interviewing a man attending his fifth Trump rally. Tonight, he says, "We're hoping that he'll announce the immediate arrest of Hillary Clinton and Hussein Obama for riggin' the general election."

    it's true. In Canada we don't value life at all. In fact most Canadians hunt other humans for sport and pleasure.

    "One of the things that makes Americans unique is that we value life."—Sarah Huckabee Sanders. That's a real quote!

    This guy doesn't seem to know that Goldwater happily took up the mantle of extremism in his most famous speech: "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."

    Calling Barry Goldwater an "extremist" is not "reasoned criticism."
