@BrionMcClanahan What do you think about Pauline Maier's book on the Declaration? Curious after reading this review...https://t.co/4BLA78UT8y

[kurt lash @kurtlash1]

I am very glad to have finally read the entirety of Maier's attempt to defenestrate Jefferson and the Declaration.
You know the entire effort has gone off the rails when she asserts that Stephen Douglas's racist account of the Declaration was more accurate than Lincoln's.
But despite her best efforts, Maier establishes several critically important points: (1) Although Jefferson's list of grievances underwent significant editing, the Preamble is Jefferson's own (with only a single word added by Franklin). (2) It was Jefferson's inspired choice to add that Preamble. (3) By the time of Jefferson's death, American's commonly embraced and celebrated the Declaration's Preamble as expressing the fundamental principles of American liberty. (4) Jefferson's Preamble became foundational to the abolitionist movement and the new Republican Party. (5) Lincoln and the Republicans (unlike the garrisonians) stressed Jefferson's authorship and his genius for declaring in the moment of our Independence the principles that inform the Constitution and should advance in every generation.
Maier's befuddlement at the "Catholic" (her term) sacralization of the Declaration and Jefferson's role is somewhat sad. Her otherwise outstanding exploration of the drafting history shows how one can swim in the sea an entire day and yet emerge completely dry.

“When a house is collapsing, it's a great advantage to be on the outside.”

In the Summer 2024 Issue of the CRB, @firstthingsmag editor R.R. Reno reviews @aaron_renn's Life in the Negative World, a field guide for Christians learning to live in a culture that has turned against them. Reno traces America's long de-Christianization, from the church-filled 1950s to a present in which dissent from progressive orthodoxy is treated as heresy.

Renn's counsel is practical; Intellectual excellence, ownership, and institutional integrity are the foundations of resilience in a hostile age.

Reno's own verdict is more hopeful: that as trust in the governing institutions collapses, the church's outsider status may prove its greatest strength.

It's a hard time to be a pastor. It is also a good one.

Henry Nowak was brutally murdered in Southampton, not very far from Fareham & Waterlooville.

But the police initially treated him like the aggressor simply because he was white. And his murderer, Asian.

Hampshire Police’s response has been wholly inadequate given that an innocent man was tragically killed and police officers very possibly put his life at risk.

To me, this looks like racism- against a white man.

I have written to Hampshire Police demanding that the body cam footage be released.

No cover ups.

Public confidence demands full transparency.

25 years ago today, Justice Scalia delivered his classic "What Is Golf" dissent in PGA Tour v. Martin:
“If one assumes … that the PGA TOUR has some legal obligation to play classic, Platonic golf … then we Justices must confront what is indeed an awesome responsibility. It has been rendered the solemn duty of the Supreme Court of the United States … to decide What Is Golf. I am sure that the Framers of the Constitution, aware of the 1457 edict of King James II of Scotland prohibiting golf because it interfered with the practice of archery, fully expected that sooner or later the paths of golf and government, the law and the links, would once again cross, and that the judges of this august Court would some day have to wrestle with that age-old jurisprudential question, for which their years of study in the law have so well prepared them: Is someone riding around a golf course from shot to shot really a golfer? The answer, we learn, is yes. The Court ultimately concludes, and it will henceforth be the Law of the Land, that walking is not a ‘fundamental’ aspect of golf. Either out of humility or out of self-respect (one or the other) the Court should decline to answer this incredibly difficult and incredibly silly question.”

Trump drops “The Shady Bunch” post on Truth Social 🔥

President Trump went off on Truth Social, calling a group of former Obama-era officials a “bad (Sick!) group of people” responsible for “tremendous damage” to America through “Weaponization!”

The post features a mugshot-style collage that includes:

• Samantha Power

• Susan Rice

• Valerie Jarrett

• James Clapper

• James Comey

• John Brennan

• Barack Hussein Obama

• Ben “Hamas” Rhodes

Is Trump right about “The Shady Bunch”?
