I feel better in Europe

This one of the saddest of the more than 1,000 columns I have written. I am writing in Budapest after spending four days in Warsaw last week and four days in Munich two weeks before that.

Taking on the evil George Soros

George Soros is an evil man. In fact, he is one of the most evil men shaping American and Western politics, and global events more generally. To straightforwardly opine in this manner is not to traffic in antisemitism or noxious Jew-baiting.

Using fear to control us
