A refreshing change from the mealy-mouthed utterances of our current president. From the New York Post: President-elect Donald Trump warned Monday there will be “all hell to pay [in the Middle East if Hamas does not release every one of the remaining hostages in Gaza before his inauguration next month. Also, from another source, theContinue reading “They’d best do it if they want to survive.”

Presidential Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on the President’s pardon of his convicted felon son. No. Read the president’s statement. Seriously, read the president’s statement. He said he believes in the Department of Justice. He does. He says it in his statement. He also believes that war politics infected the process and it led to a miscarriageContinue reading “Looking Glass logic”

Steve Bannon: Maga can rule for 50 years and Farage will be PM Excerpt, but read the whole thing. Louise Callaghan in the (London) Sunday Times If they manage this, Bannon tells me more than once, the Maga Republicans can rule for half a century. “If we deliver now, it’s upon us. They’ve given PresidentContinue reading “IF . . .”

Well worth reading, from The Catholic Thing.

The Upper West Side has devolved into a Wild West atmosphere where anything goes, terrified crime victimsContinue reading “As his beloved city falls into ruin,”

This sort of nonsense must stop. BREAKING: Republican Senators, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins vote “Yes” and confirm another Far-Left Judical Nominee from the Biden Administration. Bickerstaff has long wondered why certain elected officials like the above insist on calling themselves Republicans when they consistently vote Democratic. The only possible explanation which comes to mindContinue reading “Traitors to their party”

Your Tatler took the day off from blogging today, but as recompense (over?), is posting a piece from the New Liturgical Movement on a subject that some might say is more than a little esoteric (therefore, right up Bickerstaff’s alley). Titled The Power of Prepositions. It is written by the distinguished scholar Michael P. Foley,Continue reading “Making sense of the prepositions”

In your Tatler’s youth, long, long ago, it was the tradition of the family to alternate yearly the locales where Thanksgiving was celebrated; in CT where we lived, and NY where relations lived.
