Your Tatler turns a ripe (overripe?) three score and ten soon, and as is common among doddery old men, I have been thinking back to the major events occurring in my life. One that stands out lately is the Watergate scandal, which brought down Richard Nixon’s presidency 51 years ago. Watergate is brought to mindContinue reading “High treason and piracy in DC”

An unlikely candidate for mayor in NYC emerges
A figure from New York City’s past, Curtis Sliwa, is running for mayor and was considered an also-ran until now. NY Post columnist Charles Gasparino provides the details but the upshot is, with the other candidates looking so dismal, Sliwa stands out by comparison and, with a 22% approval rate in a recent poll, standsContinue reading “An unlikely candidate for mayor in NYC emerges”
The money is rolling into Mamdani’s campaign coffers, from an unexpected source.
ABC News reports Muslims are contributing to socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York mayoral campaign in far greater amounts than expected, but for obvious reasons.

Empty gesture from Bishop of San Bernardino
From Fox 11 Los Angeles: In a statement, San Bernardino Bishop Alberto Rojas announced a “decree dispensing from the obligation to attend Sunday mass.” The decree allows parishioners who are unable to attend Sunday mass or masses on holy days of obligation “due to genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions” to be “dispensed from thisContinue reading “Empty gesture from Bishop of San Bernardino”
Another institution ruined by the left: public libraries
Public libraries’s purpose is lending books and providing a quiet and comfortable space to read them. Research libraries also provide extensive resources for study and researching. Now another service is offered by many public libraries, especially in urban locations: homeless shelters. Many may argue that most urban areas already have facilities for the homeless, offeringContinue reading “Another institution ruined by the left: public libraries”
