While I love seeing DOGE upend the government and expose both wasteful spending and heinous criminal operations masquerading as bureaucracy, we can’t let our guard down. Traditional methods won’t work – the deep state has its claws in everything.

Brownstonians from all over the world recently met in Spain to share, bond, impart information, and most importantly, eat together. I was glued to their stories like eyes to a proverbial television set.
Experiencing the diversity of the world’s cultures enables the traveller to savour different customs without relinquishing the thought that these all belong to humanity as a whole. No globalistically homogeneous world could offer that.
Josh Urban’s book, Cities on a Hill: 21 Isolated Months with the Elderly during COVID, was prominently displayed near the front of the store as a welcome anomaly after searching for books by anyone exploring what we have endured.
