In my latest Epoch Times column I say the world tour for which our Prime Minister skipped Remembrance Day is, like everything he does, all about him.

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”

Winston Churchill again, and again from Jeff Hayden on Inc. online (www.inc.com/jeff-haden/top-350-inspiring-motivational-quotes-to-tweet-and-share.html

“I deny that biology can destroy the sense of truth, which alone can even desire biology. No truth which I find can deny that I am seeking the truth. My mind cannot find anything which denies my mind.”

G.K. Chesterton in Daily News November 7, 1908, quoted in Gilbert: The Magazine of the Society of G.K. Chesterton Vol. 25 # 4 March-April 2022

“Un tour de faiblesse”

Another of mine, from c. May 21, 2007

In my latest Loonie Politics column I urge all politicians to ponder, if their adversaries are as awful as they claim and they are so marvelous, why it is that voters do not elect them in a landslide at every opportunity.

“‘It was the nation,’ Churchill would afterwards demur, ‘that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.’…. In addition to giving the lion voice, he allowed he might have ‘sometimes suggested to the lion the right place to use his claws.’”

In my latest Mercatornet column I say the U.S. midterms show once again the fatuity of seeking salvation through elections.

In my latest Epoch Times column I lament our Prime Minister’s inability to take Communist Chinese aggression seriously.
