Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out.
The real reason Kamala Harris’s staff is fleeing? The estimable Roger Kimball recently wrote a think piece that he himself admits may be far fetched, but seems less so each day.

Airbrushing the Truth.
A pretty girl is like a melody. They are indeed “laughing at us” (as no doubt their counterparts at CBS and ABC are) when making Lia Tomas, the shemale Ivy League swimmer, look more ladylike.

This is Terribly Sad.
A Ukranian woman plays her piano one last time before quitting the wreckage of her home. (After false start, Chopin: Etude No. 1 in A-Flat, Op. 25.)

Whatever Became of the United Nations?
Has anybody looked around Turtle Bay recently? Remember the United Nations? Or, if you are younger, have you heard of the United Nations?
