Betsy DeVos: The Daily Wire Interview
I may regret this, but I'm going to watch a recent Betsy DeVos interview so that you don't have to. Michael Knowles studied acting, got a degree in history and Italian from Yale, and at college reconverted to Catholicism. After graduation he dabbled in acting, and in 2016 was invited to join the Daily Wire, the far right media shop run by fellow frustrated media star Ben Shapiro. Knowles fits right; he won some notoriety for calling climate activist Greta Thunberg a "mentally ill Swedish child." During the first impeachment of Donald Trump, he joined in a project with Ted Cruz to ... read more

Downing Street was briefing that he has agreed with Graham Brady, chair of the 1922 Committee, he would stay on until October. An untrue claim. Johnson also said he would do his duty by the British peopl... read more

I often write here about books I read, but I don't review. I did glance at Stein's book, however. It has an audience, but it's not for me; been there, done that. The subtitle is provocative, however.
