Last week Margot Elizabeth made her grand entrance to the world August 4th at 7lbs 3oz. Mom did an incredible job while I mostly got in the way. James is so proud and already very protective of his baby sister. We are all so in love with our beautiful baby girl.

If Péter Magyar had won against a centrist candidate, the headlines this morning would be about another European country falling to a right-wing populist. What happened in Hungary is the same that happened in Germany in 1998 and 2021. After the leader had been in power for 16 years, voters wanted a fresh face, but not a fundamentally different policy. eurointelligence.com

Magyar’s victory is also useful in how it reveals that here’s a Center Right, pro business, pro natalist, anti open borders guy — and his critics abroad who opposed him while claiming to be for these values are now inadvertently admitting they were never in fact for those values.
Anna Gát 🧭@TheAnnaGat

The best fit for my native Hungary is a smart, independent-minded, pro-business Center Right leader who gets both a need to stay competitive and the desire to honor tradition. I believe Péter Magyar is up for that task. Congratulations! Voted for you in New York City! 🇺🇸🇭🇺🥂

Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social@TrumpDailyPosts

𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗝. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟬𝟵:𝟬𝟯 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝟬𝟰.𝟭𝟮.𝟮𝟲 Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

My thoughts on Viktor Orban: 1. Bad leader (pro-China/Russia, anti-free market, etc.) 2. Better than a socialist 3. Not a dictator (used to be popular, isn't anymore, lost an election and conceded) 4. Crazy to make him a role model for the American right

What if TISZA wins today? Foreign and Defence policy agenda •TISZA says Hungary should be anchored in the EU and NATO and rebuild trust with allies. •A major priority on stronger rule-of-law standards, anti-corruption measures, and joining the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. •No sending Hungarian troops into the Russia–Ukraine war, no return of conscription, but stronger national defence over time. •Raising defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. •On Ukraine, no fast-track EU accession, and any eventual membership should come only after all criteria are met and with a binding referendum in Hungary. •On the United States, TISZA argues for a strategic partnership focused on security and energy diversification. •A key long-term objective is reducing energy dependence on Russia by 2035 and making Hungary less exposed to outside influence. •TISZA promised investigations into Moscow’s reach inside the Hungarian state and into the conduct of Foreign Minister Szijjártó, after leaked recordings showed close coordination with Russia on Ukraine-related EU matters.

Voting is underway in the Hungarian election — I cast my vote at 6:15 and a handful of people were already arriving. For those curious about process: two people checked my ID, I signed next to my name on list of voters, and got two pieces of paper: for party list & district.

You cannot stand with Ukraine, and simultaneously support the Islamist Regime in Tehran, which is one of Putin’s greatest allies.

You've probably seen headlines this week about the Trump administration "dismantling" the U.S. Forest Service. There's a lot of noise, especially on social media, but let's look at what's actually happening: The reorganization moves USFS headquarters from D.C. to Salt Lake City and restructures from 9 regional offices to 15 state-based ones, while some staff remain in D.C. Governors from both parties, Cox (R-UT) and Polis (D-CO), have praised the move, and SLC is a well-connected city with the talent and infrastructure to support a major federal agency. The structural shift is also less dramatic than it sounds. The USFS already runs a decentralized operation. Going from 9 regional offices to 15 state-based ones is closer to a hybrid regional-state model. The "dismantling" framing all over social media doesn't hold up to scrutiny. That said, there are real concerns worth taking seriously, namely cuts to R&D, and broader budget pressure on an agency that manages 193 million acres of public land. There are still question marks about the implementation and extent of these cuts, but reducing the USFS’s capacity is real cause for concern. We are in one of the most severe drought years in recent memory. Underfunded, understaffed agencies don't operate better; this is not the moment to squeeze USFS capacity. There's also a concern that predates this reorganization entirely: the Forest Service already spends an enormous amount of time on paperwork. NEPA compliance alone can delay active forest management projects by years. Reorganizing the org chart doesn't touch that problem, and any reform effort that doesn't address it is leaving the biggest obstacle on the table. Getting rangers and foresters back out into the field and out from behind their desks is a worthy goal, but the Forest Service is struggling to keep up as it is. Fixing our forest service requires more than just redrawing the org chart; it requires fixing the underlying incentive structure tangling USFS in bureaucracy. Done strategically and with clear goals, a restructuring doesn't have to hurt the agency. Without those reforms though, it won't solve much either.
