It’s that day of the week again: two-fer podcast Saturday, back in full strength in which only my Burkean virtues (I am still in Ireland, after all—the birthplace of Burke) restrained me from full beatdown mode on John and Lucretia for their attempted coup in last week’s “unplugged” episode, where they took advantage of my absence to completely misbehave. I went full moog synthesizer instead. So listen here, or download the episode when the link goes live at Ricochet.

Your Three Whisky Happy Hour hosts were busy this week, with a flood of publications coming out all at once. Let’s start with National Affairs, the quarterly journal of the American Enterprise Institute.

It will not be news to most of our readers that most Middle East studies departments in higher education long ago succumbed to the whole “de-colonial” ideology when they aren’t outright anti-semitic.

I don’t have that much in the way of original analysis or news on the Israel-Iran War. There’s a flood of it right now, some it very good, and much of it wrong or misinformation.

Another Saturday, and a podcast and a half. I was able to turn up for the Ricochet podcast with Charles C.W. Cooke and guest Andy McCarthy, chewing over Israel’s shock and awe campaign in Iran, the rioting in LA and Trump’s moves to control it, and recollections of Brian Wilson and the glory days of the Beach Boys. As usual, listen here, download from Ricochet:Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade.

RT @dnduplessie: Some Straussian (probably): “Plato is Xenophon with too many adjectives”

But let's remember that moving some books on sex in school libraries from young to adult sections is censorship and an attack on the First Amendment.

A bookstore in San Francisco announces it will no longer sell titles by J.K. Rowling, including her popular “Harry Potter” series, due to the author’s anti-transgender views and advocacy. https://t.co/p2oHcEFxP7

So, within the space of a week, New York announces that it is going back to nuclear power, and then an electoral meltdown happens in NYC. Coincidence? I think not! Nuclear power is clearly unsafe!
