I haven’t published many newsletters in recent weeks because I’ve been putting a lot of time into a new rush project, which I will tell you about in the next edition.
Dear Bob: FYI - I kid, I KID, with all do disrespect to one of your paying subscribers, your critics Trump sicko fancy does make me laugh, not think a second time…which, whether you laugh out loud, or not, is what I always endeavor to do when I leave a comment, I mean run on sentences, I mean sentiments.
I won’t let go my polite and repeated request that could you please stop referring to anyone base enough to be a part of Trumps base “conservative”. They are “Trumpers”, or “Rightists” as I prefer to black label MAGA hat true believers. Leave aside there is nothing in Trumps “authoritarianism” that seeks to preserve anything in the Republican platform that you and I grew up with being at the top of The Trump crime family agenda…Just as when I heard Jon Gabriel was at Discourse, with all respect and praise for you, I would not just liken him to a Jim Jones fanatic, but, because, first and foremost, my Roman, Catholic and military honor code upbringing informs me to have zero tolerance for professing Christians, let alone ex military officers condoning, placating, or defending the monstrosity in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office. If I had Gabriel as a colleague, what I would not say to Jon on the same stage would be the question…but first and foremost, like the Trump Bible Publisher himself, I would swear to him, and I do mean, mean swear “Jon, you are not ‘Christian’…and when you Jon can publicly admit that…then we can have a discourse about ideas”. Oh, and the magazine business is as dead as the printing press, but that most certainly does not mean we are living in a world lacking in ideas. If only the loyal opposition party had run the best man…or woman for President of the United States and not a candidate based purely on race, gender and upper class luxury beliefs…Discourse probably would have still gone down under, but our Democracy would still be hanging by a thread, because I am sorry to have to remind you, but the side that is oddly referred to the color blue on the political world map is as red on the inside as it is green on the outside…in other words, authoritarian by other means, not Orangeman Cult of personality, but the Democratic Party just as bad news for our Republic. Anyway, did not you used to be anti statist. I get being anti Trump means you have to defend his viable opponents, but in no way would a Harris/Waltz administration be good for America….less bad, okay, just say it then.
And I cry for what has happened to my formerly beloved magazine National Review, and if W.F.B. could rise from the grave there is no doubt in my mind he would make like Bobby Knight and grab that autographed copy Preppy Handbook carrying Rich white trash Lowry by his throat and tell him just how much he would like to ring his neck. Of all the moral compasses Heat Miser has broke…speaking of magazines…love me some The Dispatch, where all my favorite Republican cowboys have gone. If only Jon Gabriel had an ounce still left for integrity…When is someone in Washington going to finally confront this prep schoolyard bully for a Presidential and make the Orangeman’s conscience turn him death white…without fear of God, anything’s possible…Thanks Trumpers, thanks Democrats…God help U.S.
Not that my observations on your column interest you at all, but when it comes to the Silcon billionaire bros club going all in and out of their collective minds for The Don, I have two theories you have never seemed to entertain. Number One is A.I. is big business now, and and the other Number One reason is The Don endorses their crypto habits…”habits” being a deliberate word choice. I still cannot fing be lie ve it, for I have been mocking true believers in Bitcon since it was worth less than a Benjy (in my youth, when I liked to play cards, that was code for a lot of money). Not only does Satoshi Nakamoto make Bernie Madoff look like a petty white collar criminal, the history of the world’s most successful Ponzi scheme inventor now has the “freaking President” (O.M.G. South Park “Sermon on the Mount” was wet your shirt collar and your pants funny) endorsement, taking my correct assertion all along that Bitcoin is literally making it so the cyber criminals currency is now literally backed up by the Almighty Dollar, I mean The Man in Washington (not even Jesus could have predicted that fifteen years ago)…and like Social Security, dollars that come into the system, after you bought into it…
And last lament, about your calling it an “important article” (what was the funny line Jonah Goldberg always had about Vox…I thought that liberal porn mag had long ago suffered the fate of Discourse). If two kids, with, or without MAGA hats could ask Zach about how to find “jobs” [?] in the “idea” [!?] “industry” [!?]….to Witt, I did not know there was such a thing, just as Beauchamp could have been a real man of industry and advices the kids to think about getting real jobs and opining about anything and everything you want online after doing an honest days real work. Just as, speaking of liberals and institution building it is safe to say that the reason why 90 % of liberal arts and so called scientist professors across the nation voted for Harris is because…don’t call it a pushback, but there are plenty of no good reasons Trump got elected and We the Living in Idiocracy. God HELP U.S. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant R.T. Peace through superior mental firepower
Dear Bob: FYI - Liberalism is alive and well in the contemporary Republican Party, which is leading a counter revolution against the totalitarian Democratic Party that hates America and wants Americans enslaved to their neo-Communist DEI.
I have noticed that you suffer from an advanced case of TDS, which is a personal hatred for one of the greatest patriots in American history: Donald John Trump - A living character fictionalized in Objectivist literature by the late great Ayn Rand in her novel "The Fountainhead" where the protagonist Howard Roark triumphs after repeated efforts by the Socialists to destroy him - ending in a show trial where the jury finds him innocent.
Well the Americans voted for Trump in a landslide election during 2024 in numbers above 80 million have found Trump innocent of the 93 counts of Lawfare laid against him - and made him the 47th President of the United States of America.
Ronald, if you were not a paying subscriber, I would think this is your attempt at writing for, I mean life imitating The Onion. Talk about “fictionalized”- The Don Trump being one of the greatest patriots in American history…Ronald, if you were on the front lines of an actual fire fight with your Dear Leader, there is a 100% chance your hero, Donald John Trump would be in the rear, like the queers with the gear.
Well the near 79 million Americans who voted for Kamala Harris, not to mention classical liberals in the contemporary Republican Party would not hesitate to tell you Ronald that saying Trump won in a landslide is, in proper English, a Big Fing Lie (Ashli Babbitt still cannot be reached for comment). But this is a fact, Donald J Trump is simply the luckiest man to be alive (and I am not just talking about how that dumb kid just missed), for what made him President, not once, but twice, is Trump had the cosmic fortune of facing off against Nurse Rachet, then Selina Meyer at the ballot box office. We the Living in Idiocracy (hat tip Ayn Rand meets Mike Judge) because stupid have the right to suffrage. Respectfully, here is looking at you Ronald
Substack is interesting, and it is atomized--I find myself lurking on 5 or 6 feeds while subscribing to my budget limit of 10. The other problem (with the 10) is that each feed seems to feel the need to publish something every day, when what is needed is monthly deep articles like yours. I do think that The Free Press, though an outgrowth of Substack, has a chance to pull something together here. They are better than "including all sides" in that they seem to critque all sides. They have some decent writers. Would be cool if you could contribute there.
I have always thought it would be cool if Tracinski were invited to contribute at The Dispatch…speaking actual conservative discourse…that Rob likes to project the [nasty] word “conservative” in the pejorative sense with all things TRUMPISM…which to my great chagrin Rob has yet to heed to my polite requests to please stop calling Trumpers “conservative”, because Trumpist should properly be referred to as “Rightists” …But me thinks there is a snowball chance in hell R.T. would join The Free Press (Eli Lake is a treasure), as Rob has already lamented about Bari going all in in defending the Trump phenomenon, much like his link to that sorry Discourse colleague and contemptible Trump apologist and sicko fan Jon Gabriel.
