Laura's Links

Ring, Ring

Greetings and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links. As you can well imagine, the main things on my mind this week in terms of the news cycle are the second attempt at assassinating President Trump (precisely when the Dems were already "setting the table"), and the spectacular, large-scale gender reassignment/circumcision/population control operation executed against Hizballs-nah! Coming soon to a funeral, coffee maker and radio near you. It's probably too early to say who done it. Some people just did something, I guess. Julia Song has some thoughts on how it all went down.

They Want Him Dead

Two months after memory-holing the first near-successful assassination of an American president in four decades, the Secret Service figures it's safe to start letting the gunmen near Trump again: Trump rushed to safety as Secret Service opens fire on man with AK-47 near golf course Ryan Wesley Routh got to within three-to-five hundred yards of Trump. From the corrupt G-men of the FBI: The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump. The alleged perp is said to have been "known" to the FBI, and, even more bizarrely, was favourably profiled in The New York Times last year for his efforts to organise a grand convergence of the Pentagon's wars without ...

A Clubman's Notes

Never Before Seen on the Soil of England

We come tonight to the conclusion of what's proved a very popular Tale for Our Time: The Flying Inn by G K Chesterton. In our final episode, Chesterton puts what's happening in contemporary England in the grand sweep of history: It was a line of real soldiers, which is always a magnificent sight. But they might have been the soldiers of Hannibal or of Attila, they might have been dug up from the cemeteries of Sidon and Babylon, for all Joan had to do with them. There, encamped in English meadows, with a hawthorn-tree in front of them and three beeches behind, was something that has never been in camp nearer than some leagues south of Paris, since that Carolus called The Hammer broke it backward at Tours. There flew the green standard of ...
