Jeff Goldstein, c’mon, please stop sugar-coating it.

Tell us what you really think. John Fetterman is but a bulbous blight, the symptom of a far more entrenched cancer on the body politic. He has vowed to be the 51st vote to end the filibuster — and with it, any remaining protections of a minority increasingly cast as enemies of the authoritarian neo-feudalContinue reading “Jeff Goldstein, c’mon, please stop sugar-coating it.”

Let us also remember the late Prince Philip.

And his acerbic wit. As we mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth, let us also recall Bickerstaff’s favorite royal next to the Queen, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinborough. He was often accused of putting his foot in his mouth with his wildly inappropriate, often insulting remarks. While they were both those things, they were hardlyContinue reading “Let us also remember the late Prince Philip.”

A toast to the British Empire.

Let us count the ways. A friend kindly sent this item along, a posting in Quora in which a British subject, Mr Andrew Sutcliffe, provides answer to the blindingly silly question: “Why do Brits on Quora glorify the UK’s past so passionately[?]” Before posting Mr Sutcliffe’s worthy reply, your Tatler, an 11th generation American, wouldContinue reading “A toast to the British Empire.”

New York Times: At Shakespeare’s Globe, a Nonbinary Joan of Arc Causes a Stir.

Woker and woker and woker and . . . The excellent veteran blogger Ann Althaus gives us an excerpt from the Times article, which is pay-walled. [The playwright Charlie] Josephine said the decision to make Joan nonbinary came after studying Joan’s life and realizing that Joan of Arc had been willing to die at theContinue reading “New York Times: At Shakespeare’s Globe, a Nonbinary Joan of Arc Causes a Stir.”

Noted with Satisfaction.

Steven Kruiser on Donald Trump’s speech last night in Wilkes-Barre, PA. What the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media are doing is making Trump a living martyr. Their repeated unforced errors — especially the J6 kangaroo court — are fuel for Trump. His oversized personality soaks up their frothing pettiness and turnsContinue reading “Noted with Satisfaction.”
