Islam :
1,400 years ago, when Islam was created in the 7th century, Iran was Zoroastrian—today Muslim. Iraq was Christian; today it’s Muslim. Turkey was Christian; today it’s Muslim. Lebanon was Christian; today, with a Muslim majority, the Christians are disappearing from there. Egypt was Christian; today it's 92% Muslim. ..
President Joe Biden’s got blood on hands after appeasing Iran for years

I have no idea how these stats are calculated, but supposedly just over 70% of Americans are overweight, and 40% obese.
It's just interesting. Asking "why?" is silly.

It's been a long road, with many changes over the years (but with no changes to our antique graphic presentation).
We (and "we") has changed plenty over the years. I spose our vision - if there was one - has been to be an eclectic site. Yes, we try to have a daily bulletin board of interesting and/or timely items, but we don't aim to "cover the news," whatever that means.
It can look like a conservative site, but it's intended to be more contrarian. Traditionalist. Skeptical for sure - always because the world is full of BS and propaganda and always was. When the MSM is riding some ideologically-motivated, politically-biased hobby horse, we like to offer other views. Sometimes rightly, sometimes in error, but I still think our perspectives are mostly rational and skeptical.
I do appreciate all of the people who send me links to use. That's good, but it would be fun to have more voluntary writers. People do get worn out by it over time and, if it's no longer fun, why bother? Simpler just to email links to the Editor - little ol' me.
As best I can tell, several millions of people look at our site each year from all over the world (blocked in China I think but not in Norway). That is cool, but there is no vision of what we want to be or become - if anything. Never made one penny from this hobby, and some think that is stupid. Maybe, but I never made a penny from playing tennis either but when I played well, Mrs. BD noticed...
If you have plenty of good content, Substack seems like a place to offer it these days. Getting crowded though. Lots of competition in the arena of public affairs but not many sites love Farmall tractors.
Yeah, always loved our old Farmall except on steeps. Little scary on steeps - not built for our New England hills.

Stuart quotes a bunch from Bret Stephens, a seemingly "moderate" who dislikes Donald Trump. Lots of people dislike Trump's adolescent, hyperbolic blowhard side. At the same time, he did a darn good job.
Ad hominem sets in when policy discussions fail to persuade. I am old enuf to remember Nixon/Hitler, Reagan/Hitler, and Bush/Hitler.
One quote:
Public services paid by taxes exist for people who live here, not just anyone who makes his way into the country by violating its laws. A job market is structured by rules and regulations, not just an endless supply of desperate laborers prepared to work longer for less. A national culture is sustained by common memories, ideals, laws and a language — which newcomers should honor, adopt and learn as a requirement of entry. It isn’t just a giant arrival gate for anyone and everyone who wants to take advantage of American abundance and generosity.
One more:
It said something about the self-deluded state of Western politics when Trump came on the scene that his assertion of the obvious was treated as a moral scandal, at least by the stratum of society that had the least to lose from mass migration. To millions of other Americans, his message, however crudely he may have expressed it, sounded like plain common sense.
