UnHerd
June 8, 2024
Read The Full Story

In UnHerd, Martin Gurri examines the severe double standard in the U.S. legal system that he feels explains former President Donald Trump’s recent felony conviction in New York. Both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, Gurri asserts, seriously violated the law on multiple occasions and got off scot-free. This outrageous double standard, he writes, has serious implications for the principle of equality before the law.

It Was Nice While it Lasted

Victor Davis Hanson in Jewish World Review condenses his scenario for Western civilization’s imminent demise into 700 words. The West’s fatal arrogance, Hanson argues, has prevented it from repulsing the four horsemen of its own apocalypse: global warming hysterics, sexually liberalized (and largely childless) lifestyles, unrestricted illegal immigration and a descent into tribalism driven by divisive ideologies like DEI. Despite all that, Hanson also offers the outlines of a solution.

Put on a Happy Face

The indestructibly garrulous Garrison Keillor reminds us that as tragic as the world has become, we are still light-years ahead of our fathers and grandfathers. Keillor insists there are many reasons to be happy nowadays, including non-invasive surgery and no more pesky telephone cords. Though Gen Zs be downhearted, the 83-year-old proudly notes he has grown ancient enough to see the advance of progress.

Cutting off One’s Euro-nose

Commenting in The European Conservative, Dorina Molnar wonders if recent threats of trade sanctions against Israel by European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen will do more damage to the European Goliath than the Israeli David. Israel, Molnar notes, quietly supplies European countries with essential weapons systems – particularly state-of-the-art and battle-tested air-defence systems. Not only Europe but embattled Ukraine, Molnar notes, will suffer if the EC insists on putting ideology ahead of practicality.

Police “deaf, dumb and blind” Regarding Criminals “of a diverse nature”

Frank Haviland in The European Conservative decries the UK’s grotesque inversion of criminal enforcement. The constabulary now ignore the real bad guys and “generally come down mighty hard on” victims, Haviland notes. In one recent case, Scottish teen-ager Mayah Sommers was arrested and charged with possessing a hatchet and a knife to defend herself and her sister from the attentions of “Bulgarian family man” Fatos Ali Dumana – actually a self-described “Gypsy gangster” who writes of women as “whores”.
