A version of this column originally ran in Le Devoir on April 7, 2025. Translated from the French by Elettra Pauletto. I tend to avoid clichéd, simplistic comparisons to the 1938 Munich Agreement and Britain’s disastrous appeasement of Adolf Hitler.

As a longtime critic of the Clinton administration’s “free trade” agreements, I’ve lately been mocked by liberal friends who suspect I’m sympathetic to the “plan” hatched by Donald Trump and his senior advisor on trade, Peter Navarro, to “ruin” the country with indiscriminate import tariffs. This sort of jokey ridicule goes with the territory when you jab at neoliberalism from the left.

Je ne suis pas indifférent aux défauts de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, toujours le chef de file de la gauche française malgré les nombreux efforts pour le marginaliser dans les médias, y compris de la part de ses « alliés » de centre gauche. La personnalité souvent égoïste et accablante, parfois tyrannique, du fondateur de La France insoumise agit comme un repoussoir chez certains de ceux qui pourraient, en principe, l’appuyer contre le mouvement croissant de l’extrême droite en France.

The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalemby Kurt BrouwerLIMITED TIME FREE #adKINDLE APPLE NOOK KOBOHe was the Beloved Disciple… …and he would be the last. The mantle to tell the whole story has fallen on him. From the Cross, Jesus entrusted John, son of Zebedee, the youngest disciple, with the welfare of Mary, Jesus’s mother. Over thirty years later, as Jerusalem becomes a cauldron of explosive tempers, John receives a calling he doesn’t want. Will he listen and follow?

J’évite toujours les analogies galvaudées et simplistes avec la conférence de Munich 1938 et « l’apaisement » supposément fatal de la Grande-Bretagne à l’endroit d’Adolf Hitler. Pas seulement parce que les scénarios contemporains sont si différents (Vladimir Poutine ne peut être comparé au fondateur du nazisme et l’Ukraine n’est pas la Tchécoslovaquie). Il y a également le fait que la stratégie de Neville Chamberlain dans ses pourparlers avec le dictateur allemand divise encore les historiens.

Since the US Department of Education’s inception in 1980, the agency has proven itself to be incompetent at its principal task: teaching American children. Adding insult to injury, the agency has also earned a big, fat F when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Despite this reality, headlines announcing the Trump administration’s newly streamlined Department of Education cast a somber tone. Layoffs “gutted” the Education Department, reports the AP.

“We strongly support your right to determine your own future. And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America,” President Donald Trump told Greenlanders from a joint session of Congress earlier this month. And determine their future they did, as Greenland voted in a parliamentary election Tuesday. The results might not be as bad for Trump as NBC’s headlines imply. That’s the takeaway of Tom Dans, a man Greenlandic media calls Trump’s sande mand — true man — in the island-nation.

I have to begin this column with a glass of Pol Roger cuvée Winston Churchill. It’s fancy stuff, and — according to some — it’s a bit early in the day to be quaffing Champagne. “How early is too early?” I’ve often wondered that. The jury is out but most of the best authorities say that any time before actually awakening is too early. Why the shampoo (as David Niven was wont to denominate the beverage)?
