A deer left to age out in the woods, explains Sebastian Morello in The European Conservative, loses its teeth and dies in excruciating pain from undigested food, parasites or over-eager scavengers. A quick, clean death from hunting – “stalking” as the Scots call it – is far more merciful. But stalking is itself dying a slow, agonizing death in Great Britain due to the rise of “sentimentalism” – a self-righteous but counterfeit emotion driven by narcissism.

The Tirades of Turkey’s Tyrant
What might Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan be driving at during his private “interminable monologues” with Pope Leo XIV, wonders Fiamma Nirenstein in Jewish News Syndicate.

But having embraced Islamism and purged Turkey of nearly all its 4 million Christians, Nirenstein writes, the Turkish tyrant appears ever-less amenable to that role.
