A big problem is that George Abaraonye's representatives contesting every emailed proxy vote are able to see names as well as which way they voted, thus breaching the secret ballot. Hundreds of life members— including some influential public figures—have been exposed.

The Founders emphasized moral virtue and civic education for citizens of a commercial republic. We need to return to their vision. From David Lewis Schaefer:

A few years ago, I had the honor of reviewing a book for Modern Age. I never thought I’d see my own book reviewed by that same venerable publication.

New Ep of The Sower! Discussing Robert Nisbet’s THE SOCIAL PHILOSOPHERS with Luke Sheahan (@lsheahan) and Paul Mueller (@DrPaulMueller). We discuss different kinds of communities and the importance of this brilliant, but overlooked, book. Link to follow:

Reading Gramsci, one is struck by his faith in "modernization", the belief that industrial and technical development is leading us to a new social organization to which will correspond a secular culture as organic and coherent as medieval Christendom. It certainly did not happen.

The very text of the Declaration of Independence presupposes the king had legitimate authority in America until he abused his subjects and they chose to cut ties with him.

The main street in Alexandria is literally “King Street.” South of it are Prince and Duke. Alexandria loves royalty.

One of these is the Obama Library and the other is a North Korean guard tower.

Quick thoughts: Trumps favorables are basically where they are on Election Day Winsome Sears is such a weak candidate that she may cost Miyares what should be an easy victory A lot of undecided voters in the AG race

Many thanks to @BobbyBorkIII for casting my vote as a proxy to oust George Abaraonye from being Presiden-Elect of the Oxford Union. Someone who glorifies in the murder of his political opponents has no business leading a debating society.

John Gray in top form on Alasdair McIntyre, postliberalism, Hobbes, and more. “Solidarity with selected victims gives purpose to lives that are otherwise empty of meaning, and a sense of identity is discovered in the madness of crowds.”

He will now be referred to as "the Andrew formerly known as Prince."

The hilarious thing about “No Kings” is how it has essentially borrowed, almost verbatim, the rhetoric of the Tea Party, without understanding or believing in limited government (and also forgetting that Dems enthusiastically backed Obama’s “pen and phone” executive power grabs).

“Private population-control groups had largely taken over the family planning program, the women’s groups had a virtual monopoly on the Women and Development Program, environmental groups had moved in on the Sustainable Development program.” Howard Wiarda on USAID

One of Donald Trump’s most controversial moves—folding USAID into the State Department—was unsuccessfully attempted by Bill Clinton and Al Gore in 1993 (when the program was called AID).

“No Kings” illustrates the Democrats’ political bankruptcy—there’s no issue or concrete, 21st-century situation the Trump haters can unite around. (Note the supposedly dreadful government shutdown got little play on their signs.)

The caucasity of hope.

This is such a strong response, as everyone is saying. @CurtisSliwa is just incredibly genuine, full of love for this city and its people.
