Propaganda Due had serious connections to both the CIA, the Peronists and through them Neo-Nazis, and the Vatican. They're the closest we ever got to the Freemasons of the dreams of paranoiacs.

I mean Kagame pretty clearly is patterning himself on the various Asian developmentalist dictators, yeah?

It really isn't. This is a perfectly consistent ruling with the 3-3-3 court breakdown that is the driving paradigm at the moment and was entirely predicted by most serious court watchers.

I of course support all efforts to bring down the agents of Perfidious Albion. The fight against the House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is a big tent!

Marxist historiography doing very poorly in the future, as it turns out that feudal modes of production do surprisingly well.

I sometimes wonder if the pendulum has swung too far on dismissing the Nazi threat. We want to stop wehraboo-ism, and that's really really good, but I wonder if we've gone maybe too far in dismissing their war machine's strength. Defeating Nazi Germany was a big accomplishment!

That bit in late 1944 is the most interesting, because it's assuming - not unfairly - that the Nazis can't make a counteroffensive at all. The Nazis just fought remarkably harder then a) was rational or b) could be expected.

That's the kind of thinking that means you don't get included in the Genesis Mission Super-Bunker.

I'm sure you know this but I do love that the Walewska's still do kinda look like Napoleon but they aren't even in consideration. Like Nicholas Walewski, if he put the uniform on, resembles Boney!

"Writing a general audience book" is a pretty standard thing for Justices to do. I own both of Gorsuch's previous books; Scalia's legal writing and reasoning books with Bryan Garner are must haves.

Penguin needed to pad their recent hardcover re-release of Carmilla, and put in The Vampyre. And it sure is . . . a story. It uses words and has full sentences.
(They really should have used Samuel Coleridge Taylor's Christabel, which is both thematically coherent and actually good.)

Smith is so fascinating. She objectively succeeded with her main cause - manufacture New Obama from nothing, in the form of Pete Buttigieg. Who, you know, went from nothing to cabinet secretary to likely future Presidential nominee basically on her back. And ever since ... well, not praiseworthy.
