No One Really Wants to ‘Send Her Back’
Don’t exaggerate the significance of raucous chants.
Shame on Robert Mueller—Again
Nowhere is the collapse of the Democratic Party as a coherent political organization more evident than in the astounding metamorphosis of Robert Mueller. He returned to public notice as special counsel and was instantly heralded by the Democratic...

Ouch. @ConradMBlack disposes of what remains of the anti-Trump fanatic Robert Mueller. Devastating but also satisfying.

Facebook labels St Augustine quote as ‘hate speech’
A quote from St Augustine has apparently been banned from Facebook. Domenico Bettinelli, a pro-life activist from Massachusetts, said in a blog post that a passage by St Augustine from the Divine…
The white supremacy phantom
Well la-dee-dah. The House votes to condemn “President Trump for his ‘racist comments’ about four Democratic congresswomen of color.” …

James Brokenshire apologises to Sir Roger Scruton over sacking
Sir Roger said he faced the 'complete destruction' of his 'career, identity and personality' after allegedly anti-Semitic comments were attributed to him, which later turned out to be hand-picked.

The craven "conservative" minister James Brokenshire apologizes for sacking Sir Roger Scruton because of a vile and biased attack in The New Statesman. Too little, too late. mol.im/a/7251775 via @MailOnline

Don't Celebrate Bastille Day
Since I am writing on Bastille Day, I am prompted to wonder why the French—or anyone else, for that matter—celebrate this infamous date. After all, the “storming” of that royal keep in 1789 was the spark that started the conflagration of the French...

Jilted Again! The NeverTrump-Left Alliance Crumbles
The political misfits known as NeverTrumpers are begging for allies ahead of next year’s presidential election—and, as usual, they aren’t looking to the Right.

‘We will no longer deal with him’ was the end of Sir Kim Darroch
Serious people in Britain should focus their attention on discovering the person or persons who leaked the Sir Kim Darroch cables
Pete Buttigieg Is Right That Christians Need To Be Rebuked
But someone who lives in sexual immorality and supports abortion right up until birth is quite obviously the wrong person to do it.
Roger Kimball
This is a very thoughtful piece. Dems like Pete Buttigieg are not, as they insist, so keen on the separation of Church and State but rather on the persecution of the church by the state.

Book on brawl over Justice Kavanaugh debuts No. 1 'new best sellers'

Roger Scruton: “Cameron’s resignation was the death knell of the Conservative Party”
It was in Paris in May 1968, as French workers and students revolted, that Roger Scruton became a conservative. “I was woken up then, I wasn’t really political until that moment,” the author and philosopher recalled when we met recently at his flat...

The wretched New Statesman finally issues an apology to Roger Scruton for grossly misrepresenting him. Where is the apology from No. 10 and from the spineless minister who sacked Sir Roger w/o even asking him whether his views were accurately represented?
