sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Tom, this is about as off-topic as I can get, but what do think of Antony Beevor as a military historian? I know your fondness for Max Hastings (who's certainly a terrific writer), but what about Beevor, who seems to cover a lot of the same stuff. I'm about to start his book on Crete and Crete matters to me a great deal, since I lived in Chania for awhile in 1971 and actually met several veteran freedom fighters. I would have most of my meals just down the waterfront from the stadium where the Nazis rounded up all the Jews in and put them on a boat, which they sank in clear view of everyone on that waterfront. I was there when Agnew decided to visit and when the stadium filled up, my waiter (and just about everyone else who was old enough to have been there during the war) stopped dead and were caught speechless. when my waiter recovered a few minutes later, he told me that the only time the stadium had been that full was the day of the roundup.
