John Helmer: Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Svengali of Jimmy Carter’s Presidency, Is Dead, But the Evil Lives On By John Helmer, the longest continuously serving foreign correspondent in Russia, and the only western journalist to direct his own bureau independent of single national or commercial ties. Helmer has also been a professor of political science, and an advisor to government heads in Greece, the United States, and Asia. He is the first and only member of a US presidential administration (Jimmy Carter) to establish himself in Russia.  Dances with Media Dragons and Bears

KURT SCHLICHTER ON MANCHESTER: Fewer Tears, Fewer Lies, And More Righteous Anger. “Grieving doesn’t work. Hugging doesn’t work. Cowardice masquerading as enlightened passivity in the face of our enemies doesn’t work. Just ask the little girls blown apart in Manchester.”

A TRAILER PARK CALLED CAMELOT: Mark Steyn on the larger imagination of JFK, self-admitted “Despoiler of Women.”
