Little David—ti Davíd—was late for his own funeral; but you can hardly blame a three-year-old. People shuffled back and forth, antsy to get things moving. We were on the clock. The day, like all days, was hot and cloudless; and since there was no embalming here, the child needed to be buried before sundown. The boy had been brought by his father to the only hospital on the Haitian island of La Gonave.

The regular season of the National Football League (NFL) ended last Sunday night when the Detroit Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 31-9, to win both the National Football Conference (NFC) North division and the NFC’s top seed for the playoffs that begin today.

La conférence des Nations unies sur le changement climatique COP29, qui s’est tenue le mois dernier à Bakou, en Azerbaïdjan, a débouché sur un accord prévoyant que les pays riches (l’Europe, les États-Unis, le Canada, le Japon, l’Australie et la Nouvelle-Zélande, mais pas la Chine – la deuxième économie mondiale – ni les riches pays du Golfe) transféreront, d’ici à 2035, au moins 300 milliards de dollars par an aux pays en développement.

We all know that there are a large number of conservatives and Republicans who entertain grave doubts about returning Donald Trump to the White House. Apart from their consternation about his volatile, sometimes nasty, personal decorum and the frequent undignified remarks (whether in person or via X), Trump has caused many of those who should be his supporters to be turned off by many of his policy-related statements.

It all reminds me of July 1, 1987 when President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Robert Bork for an opening on the Supreme Court. He had it made in the shade, said my complacent conservative friends. The result was brutal. But we do not have to look back 32 years to see how unruly the leftwing mob can be. Recall the recent fate of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Only his courage and unscotchable determinate saved him. The simple fact is that the conservatives are often slow on the draw against the American left.

I’m in the camp that believes that the presidential election is Donald Trump’s to win or lose. It’s a simple calculus: The undemocratically nominated Kamala Harris (how many Democrats voted for her and how many primary elections did she win?) has been a key part of an administration under which many Americans have not fared well. The Democrats may be terrible at governance, but they are good at salesmanship.

The Democrats’ “lawfare” strategy of using lawsuits to persecute former President Donald Trump is the same strategy that the Green Left is using to attack an entire industry: Oil and gas (O&G). Dozens of cities and states have filed lawsuits targeting Big Oil — in all of these lawsuits, plaintiffs claim that consumption of the fossil fuels that Big Oil has produced has changed Earth’s climate for the worse, resulting in various harms suffered by various people.

You’ve got to hand it to the Democratic Party. They have a slick operation going. Four years ago, they hatched a plan to circle the wagons around Joe Biden and somehow convinced all the other contenders for the presidential nomination to step aside. Joe, a notably undistinguished but loyal party apparatchik, had great name recognition and seemed safely normal compared to, say, Bernie Sanders.
