Winning as a Strategy

Welcome to the last Laura's Links of the current Jewish year. (Don't worry, I'll be back next week in the New Year!)

The current assault against Israel and the Jewish people is certainly frightening and disturbing, but right now, I currently feel a very strong sense of confidence in the IDF and in Israel's political leadership. I have unwavering, rock solid faith in ...

The "Far Right" Inches Nearer

Programming note: Tomorrow, Wednesday, I'll be here for our midweek Clubland Q&A taking questions from Mark Steyn Club members live around the planet at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm British Summer Time/9pm Central European. Hope you can swing by. ~Well, nothing much seems to be happening in America to judge from the alleged president's beach vacation and the purported acting president's hilarious Veep reunion-show cameo with the blank piece of paper and unplugged telephone. There is supposedly a vice-presidential debate tonight for which expectations have been so dramatically lowered that Kamala is now saying she only picked the guy because she was sleep-deprived that morning. So we're all set for a tremendous Walz victory! ...

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 ...
