My personal Substack

I'm an author of books for Scribner and Encounter and a tsunami of text in publications ranging from the New Republic to Playboy to the Wall Street Journal

Redhead. Terrific, spirited writer. Does not write often enough.

Leading the fight against the left-wing ideological regime.

Great reporting managed to put culture issues center stage.

The Tactical Notebook

By Bruce Ivar Gudmundsson

The Tactical Notebook explores the armies that are, the armies that were, and the armies that might have been.

I've learned so much from Bruce's books, especially how tactics drive (or should drive) strategy as much as they are driven by it. The Tactical Notebook continues that education.

Ringside at the Reckoning

By Paul and Bill

Independent-minded conservative commentary.

When Paul Mirengoff calls my attention to something it's always interesting. Bill Otis has been writing great legal commentary, especially on criminals and their lawyers, for years

The Occidental Tourist

By Amy Hunt

Exploring the stories and ideas of western civilization, one Great Book at a time.

Author Amy Hunt is systematically reading her way through the foundational classics of the West and then cheerfully and insightfully sharing. I love her sheer appreciation for the material.

Legion

By Susan Vigilante

The devil and all his works. If it's demonic, I'm on it.

I think Susan is doing a great job. Wouldn't have thought anyone could be both funny and informative about the Devil.

The Manley Market Memo

By J. Lawrence Manley

We analyze the economy and financial markets through the lens of an experienced contrarian value investor. We believe that capital preservation is paramount, and valuation is the best measure of an asset’s long-term expected return.

Lawrence Manley is an unusually thoughtful commenter on markets, skeptical about all the right things. I'm reading through his monthly reports systematically.

Racket News

By Matt Taibbi

News and features by best-selling author and reporter Matt Taibbi, in an independent package molded after I.F. Stone's Weekly. The site contains investigative journalism, satirical commentary, and the America This Week podcast with novelist Walter Kirn.

If most journalists even tried to do what Matt Taibbi does, America would be in much better shape. Check out his "The Lawyers that Ate California." for a piece on a topic most journalists would ignore but he makes fascinating and devastating. We can't all be that good, but we could all commit to digging a little deeper to find something more interesting than "the narrative."
