This biography of Russell Kirk by @bradleybirzer is self-recommending as the kids say...
And Birzer's latest work *Tolkien and the Inklings* arrived Tuesday!! Looking forward to that.

Oh. My. Gosh.
Drop everything, like everything, and read @JonahDispatch’s latest. Sledgehammer to new right nonsense. And so, so good. thedispatch.com/newsletter/g…
Pivoting to Sulkin, here's some relevant questions: 1. Did you mean El-Sayed spoke in Arabic or simply used some Arabic phrases?
2. What connection were viewers meant to draw between El-Sayed, Omar, and Iran’s leader?
3. After the correction do you stand by your broader argument?

Jeremiah Johnson was right to flag Sulkin’s error, but accusations of fabrication and suggestions of firings seem excessive. The Argument has made serious errors, too. I questioned his double standard respectfully, only to discover he'd blocked me. Rather ironic.

@JeremiahDJohns can you explain how this error happened (pretty big maths error, no)? How did this slip through the process you outlined in your criticism of @TheFP? I'll take my answer off air. Thank you.

To say that Indian immigrants have enriched and bettered this country in almost every possible way is to say something so undeniable that you HAVE to be a racist piece of shit to say or act or think otherwise.
