From here. The late William F. Buckley, founder of the National Review, now only a faint semblance of its former self when the founder was still alive, once said, to great wailing and gnashing of the teeth from his targets: “Liberals don’t care what you do so long as it’s compulsory.” That was long agoContinue reading “What residents of the Empire State may look forward to in the coming year.”

After enjoying a hearty laugh over the ludicrous blasphemy seen on the flyer above, (outrage isn’t worth the bother), your Tatler, chewing on the matter a bit, realized the last sentence overleaf: “Yes, we are awesome,” serves nicely as a credo for the increasing number of secular religions springing up over the years, filling theContinue reading “21st-century ecumenism?”

One of your Tatler’s favorite composers, Ralph (pronounced rāfe–God bless those Brits) Vaughan Williams’s lovely Fantasia on Christmas Carols, here receives a fine reading in an unspecified Catholic church, wanting both heat and paint, in Szolnok, Hungary. The extreme circumstances seem not to have bothered in the least the forces involved, nor the audience. UpliftingContinue reading “Heartwarming Christmas cheer from a freezing Hungarian church.”

College enrollments are sharply decreasing according to Axios, 10% during the Covid pandemic and continuing still. From the report: Why is this possibly good news? Colleges and universities are by far the most responsible for the leftist indoctrination of young people. While most of the secondary schools in this country, both public and private, certainlyContinue reading “Possibly good news: declining college enrollments.”

Stunning, simply stunning. This lovely creature, Mx Samuel Brinton, draws a salary from our federal government, having a position in the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy. Seemingly well educated–very, Mx Brinton holds dual graduate degrees in nuclear science and engineering from the Technology Policy Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and undergraduate degreesContinue reading “Your tax dollars at woke.”

In the past, Bickerstaff would wait well into Advent before putting up the Christmas tree. This year he asked himself, why the wait? Not coming up a with a good answer, save perhaps for lingering protestantisms informing his thinking, your Tatler decided Advent I being today, the tree goes up today. Another decision was made,Continue reading “Árbol de Navidad”

An English institution brought to this country by the Pilgrims. Writings of the Pilgrim Fathers. Edward Winslow. [O]ur harvest being gotten in, our governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a speciall manner rejoyce together,  after we had gathered the fruits of our labours ; they foure in one day killedContinue reading “The First Thanksgiving in America.”

Transcending the species. This video has been making the rounds and for good reason; few cannot be genuinely touched by it. A female monkey, having undergone a C-section during birth and separated from her newborn while under sedation, obviously believes her baby is lost until discovering he is not. Her ecstatic joy is wonderfully apparent.Continue reading “The mothering instinct.”

It couldn’t happen again, could it? Environmentalists in Germany have succeeded in pushing through a law forcing farmers to eliminate 50% of their livestock, as part of the fight against global warming emissions (of course). From Hot Air: Farmers have been protesting the decision in the same way they recently did in the Netherlands this summer, butContinue reading “History repeating itself?”
