A b****, or a mere piece of sh**?

The unconquerable Mark Steyn parses the subtleties of Ukrainian gutter-talk to evaluate whether Volodymyr Zelensky expressed mere exasperation with his U.S. hosts at the infamous White House dust-up last week, or actually likened Vice President J.D. Vance to a morsel of excrement. Writing in Jewish World Review, Steyn suggests Zelensky swallow his sense of entitlement, ditch the advice of his European “friends” and recognize reality. By yesterday, Steyn’s suggestion had proved prophetic.

A Crumbling Establishment Flails

Fresh off his “victory” in Germany’s parliamentary elections, Friedrich Merz repudiated the key promise that had enabled his Christian Democratic Union to – barely – stave off the surging Alternative für Deutschland populists. Noting in The European Conservative that more such betrayals are sure to follow, Sabine Beppler-Spahl warns this will only encourage the continued rise of the “extreme right” AfD, which has gained the support of nearly 40 percent of working-class Germans.

The Coming U.S. Reset?

In The New Criterion, Victor Davis Hanson compares the forces behind the first and second elections of Donald Trump and finds them categorically different. The first election aimed to halt America’s perceived leftward drift and overall deterioration; the second intends to roll it back entirely, leading Hanson to describe the second Trump term as a counter-revolution. But, warns Hanson, the challenges this time are also much more formidable.

The Paper-Pushers Who (Barely) Control America’s Skies

Fans of the 1999 movie Pushing Tin will recall frenetic scenes of air traffic controllers working to keep airliners from colliding in crowded skies. The current reality, writes John Tierney in City Journal, is far worse. Control tasks at U.S. airports today are still exchanged using paper “flight strips”. In contrast to this “international disgrace”, writes Tierney, European and even Canadian control towers have gone nearly all-digital.
