Some Monday Readings


A little over three years ago, I read a rather startling book by Martin Gurri. Entitled The Revolt of the Public, it was a revision of an earlier edition and concerns the struggles between societal elites and, for want of a better term, normal people. My review, posted on Amazon, has earned the largest number of “helps” of any review I’ve ever done, which is more a measure of the book than the review. And Gurri has a new article, consistent with his book. See “Scenes from a Global Struggle: Elites vs. the Normies” at Discourse Magazine. 

In Search of Ordinary Patriotism – Sarah Reardon at Ford Forum.

 

Protesting the Decline of Reading – Joel Miller at Miller’s Book Review. 

 

Where is the electric vehicle revolution? – Ross Clark at The Spectator.

 

Bedford Square – A London Inheritance.

 

‘Round Here – Paul Hughes at Poet and Priest.

 

Things Worth Remembering: When Margaret Thatcher Refused to Jump – Douglas Murray at The Free Press.

 

“Night Meeting” – short story by Ray Bradbury. Listen to Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn discuss the story here. 

 

Why Julian Assange should not be extradited to America – Andrew Tettenborn at The Spectator.


Memorial Day: Many Are the Mysteries - W.Winston Elliott III at The Imaginative Conservative.


America Still Has Heroes - Joe Nocera at The Free Press.


"The Men Behind the Guns," poem by John Jerome Rooney - Joseph Bottom at Poems Ancient and Modern.


Mercy on Memorial Day - Spencer Klavan at The New Jerusalem.
