10 Good Things in America on Independence Day 2018
I usually criticize what’s going on in America. And there’s no question our problems still could overwhelm us. But for Independence Day 2018, here are 10 Good Things:

Pizza with Chef Garret: The Best Revenge, Episode 15
Chef Garret, in the first podcast of a series, explains the fundamentals of a classic Italian dish that is simple in conception but far from simple in execution.
Nine Malevolent Despots, Conclusion
The wise men of 1787, as suspicious of the absolutism of an entrenched elite as they were of mob rule (which they called democracy), never intended the Supreme Court to hold ultimate or absolute authority over decisions made by all American governments.
Nine Malevolent Despots
The Supreme Court, supposedly designed as a check on arbitrary government, has been a force for tyranny since the days of John Marshall.
Trump, Angel Families And Illegal-Alien Crime
The Donald’s timing was perfect given the hysterics about children “separated” from border-jumping parents, not least the media’s lie about the little girl in the photograph. On Friday, he reminded the worthies of the media and real Americans in the room that illegal aliens “permanently separate” too many Americans from their families by killing them.

The “debate” really isn’t about separation, It’s about whether President Trump will be permitted to do what he said he would do: stop illegal immigration. And that, in turn, means the “debate” is really about raw politics. Generally, immigrants vote for Democrats.
Taine and Acton on The History of the French Revolution
To Taine’s great credit, he was not taken in by the myth of two revolutions: the British-style reformist revolution of 1789, followed by the Jacobin Terror caused by a few bad men who betrayed the spirit of 1789. This pernicious myth–like the myth of the good Kerensky in 1917 or of England’s Glorious Revolution–blinds us to the realities of our own times, when socialists and Trotskyists complain that 60’s radicals betrayed the dream.
Wednesday’s Child: The Emperor’s New Bedclothes
Like lead in the keel of a sailing vessel, which keeps it from capsizing, sloth is what has given our island its stability, its longevity, and its virtue.
