I have liked Telos stuff for a long time, but this one made me join your paid subscribers. Keep up the good work.

Similarly, as someone who signed up at the start for a paid subscription (due to familiarity with Lizza’s oeuvre), whilst reading this one I was like, “And THIS is why I pay!” then re-stacked it.

Thank you for reposting this. Somehow I missed it before.

The rants and logorrhea by Benedict Donald — plus the aftermath this week —so far— came like a smack upside the head. By a 2x4.

Thank you for pointing out explicitly that the MAGA rabble are indeed revolutionaries. With zero interest in continuing the general fabric of American society and the American way of life.

Steve Bannon was always to be taken seriously as an anarchist. Now it seems we erred in not taking him deadly seriously.

Which means that those of us who don’t just parrot the words of the Pledge of Allegiance but believe in its aspirations and the explicit statement of the Founding Fathers and everyone who ratified it that one major reason we HAVE the Constitution is “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity “ need to reassess our strategies.

Putin’s Puppet— which he must be called even in polite society— has openly declared war on the American public and, like Robert e Lee and other insurrectionists should be deemed to have resigned the post which he holds illegitimately. Not that JD Vance is much of an improvement.
