Back in my employed days, we had the WSJ and American Spectator delivered to the office so I had quite a lot of reading material alternative to the NYT which I read cover to cover too.

In my view the only worthwhile op ed columnist the WSJ had was Dorothy Rabinowitz. The rest--including Bret Stephens, now the "conservative" voice at the NYT, were the most gormless/raging fool representatives any failed political camp could hope for.

It's all very well to talk about the Uniparty now but that ought to have been recognized a good few decades ago before we blew up the rest of the world left standing after WWII.

I am so old that I can still remember moderate Republicans of common sense, though I was too young to vote for any of them, and they are extinct now.

It was Reagan who seeded the crazy wing that is the entirety of the Republican party now and it's remarkable to me that anyone concerned about the direction of the country now can look back at that entertainer with fondness.
