That they think I’m a bad person I can forgive.
That they think I’m an idiot I cannot.

For Civil War people: If you haven't read Henry Kyd Douglas's "I Rode with Stonewall," do so. He was with Jackson from Jackson's initial posting at Harpers Ferry through the Valley Campaign, Antietam, and Chancellorsville, almost all of that time on Jackson's personal staff. Wounded and captured at Gettysburg, he was exchanged and ended the war leading the last unit to stack its arms at Appomattox. It's anecdotal, with lots of personal accounts both of Jackson and day-to-day life in the Confederate army. Douglas himself was a sort of a David Niven type--charmingly self-deprecating, good humored, often funny, and a gifted story-teller. In my experience, it's unique among Civil War memoirs.

@neoavatara @ScottMcConnell9 Trump 1.0 cracked down hard on immigration and was rewarded with a tight labor market.
Trump 2.0 went on a tariff binge instead.

@SpumoniTakes @0x49fa98 The first command given by God in the Bible to man:
“Be fruitful and multiply”
English
@0x49fa98 You should have children because you should have lots of sex with one woman and we weren’t meant to control our fertility.
English
The current pitch of the religious conservative natalists is something like, “You should have children. —Why? To save civilization of course. Do it for others. But to do this you need to have religion. —What is the connection? —Because we have sociological correlation studies that tell us that women who have children and are married tend to be religious. So it’s that you can find religion— Why should I be religious? —Because we have studies that show religious people tend to have higher fertility and marriage rates. That could be you.”

@Steve_Sailer I’ve gotten used to you being a leading indicator but geez
English
But ... I strongly doubt that America's center-left establishment (e.g., the New York Times) suddenly realized in March 2026: "Uh-oh, Sailer's February 27, 2006 "American Conservative" article unveiled the truth about Cesar Chavez! Shut down the Cesar Chavez worship right now!"
English
I've been pointing out for over 20 years that the sacralized Cesar Chavez was violently anti-illegal immigration, delegating his brother to organize union vigilantes to patrol the border and beat up illegal aliens attempting to enter to be strikebreakers.

@MaskedDefender @ElectaWing @charlesmurray But being a monarchy, they were able to avoid immediately addressing the questions of what civil rights former slaves would have, since most white subjects of the Empire lacked them too. That was an advantage not available to Thomas Jefferson’s liberal republic.
English
@MaskedDefender @ElectaWing @charlesmurray Britain abolished slavery throughout the Empire in 1833. There were some difficulties in enforcement, but they made a success of it.
English
@MaskedDefender @ElectaWing @charlesmurray Most people simply do not deeply ponder the metaphysics of the world around them.
But when an army crosses your border, you tend to notice.
English
@MaskedDefender @ElectaWing @charlesmurray It’s funny how slavery takes up so much more space in your head than his, and he actually owned slaves.

@ZConstitutional @FischerKing64 Nukes.
When the dust settles from this, everyone in the neighborhood will want one. And these people have money to spend.
English
@FischerKing64 As much as I’m not a fan of this Iran adventure, I will admit the witnessing of their launching missiles at their Arab neighbors (scorched earth policy) combined with nuke potential has given me pause.
English
Something I've noticed listening to some podcasts is that proponents of the Iraq war are now questioning whether it was a failure. They're saying things like "Iraq has had elections," which I guess makes up for losses in blood/treasure. Eg Robert Kagan said something like this.
The National Pulse@TheNatPulse
On this day in 2003, the US-led invasion of Iraq began, leading to the deaths of 4,492 American service members, over 32,000 wounded, and a country still in the grips of civil strife. The weapons of mass destruction used to justify the war were never found.
English
@FischerKing64 Eight U.S. Presidents (including Trump 1.0) had the means to go hard on Iran, but did not do so.
What changed?
English
Have a hunch that this relativizing is preparation for what could become a ground war in Iran.
English
@GrayConnolly They’ve presumably had this capability for years, but never put it to quite so much use.
Wonder what changed?
English
One of the enduring problems with Iran - apart from its status as the 'resurrection ship' for jihadis - is its longstanding missile & nuclear tech relationship with North Korea. Even if you are intervention sceptical, these threats cannot be wished away.
Max Abrahms@MaxAbrahms
Iran’s leaders are too dumb to realize they just reinforced the case for war against them.

@arisroussinos I’m currently re-reading Trevor Royle’s “Wars of the Three Kingdoms” and I’m still amazed that the children of the Covenanters ever came to accept a First Amendment.

The more significant Ulster Protestant diaspora, to the American south via Philadelphia, has its own political culture derived from radical opposition to the Westminster state and New World border reiving, difficult to slot into the post mid-19th c imperial Loyalist tradition
Aris Roussinos@arisroussinos
> The average Briton is baffled by this mentality Many such cases, Ulster Loyalism can only be understood as a sub-genre of Irish politics with its only external historical inroads in the (Liverpool, Glasgow, Toronto) Ulster diaspora

I say that because the median Congresscritter is much more pro-war than the median voter.

Not inconceivable that we get an actual declaration of war out of this scenario, or a similar one
Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺@witte_sergei
If Iran shoots down an A-10, support for an intensified war will skyrocket. Hard to overstate how much that plane means to Americans.

NEW: In a letter to employees, United CEO Scott Kirby says the airline is prepping for oil to hit $175/barrel &
“doesn't get back down to $100/barrel until the end of 2027.”
United is shaving 3% of off-peak flights - “think redeyes, Tues/Wed/Sat flying” - this spring & summer.
