I like Ron DeSantis. He probably would be a pretty good president. But not this cycle. Reagan took three attempts: 1968, 1976 and 1980. Even Trump took two times, starting with his 2000 attempt for the now defunct Reform Party.
‘Tis the Silly Season, as British journos call the news doldrums of August, and I’ve got something that fits the bill.

In periods like the 1890’s, the 1920’s, and the 1960’s, while most people went about their business of working, living, and dying, if you were a decadent poet in London, a stockbroker or novelist in New York, a student at Berkeley, Madison, or Columbia, it was an age of gold.
This is the 1987 piece cited by Jerry Salyer.
I frequently see FB posts from sensible people asking why would anyone trust Donald Trump, while believing the scholars and scientists were part of a program of deception?
I have been asked to post this 1989 essay on the false leftist arguments used by the pro-life movement. In addition, I shall soon be posting part of a chapter from Book III of “Properties of Blood.”
I am almost blushing as I post this piece by Jerry Salyer.
