I wrote about the arrestee formerly known as Prince Andrew. mattdpearce.substack.com/p/a-guy-bein...

I was especially sold on learning about the Andrew angle of the Epstein saga after brilliant Reuters photographer Phil Noble captured the King's brother slumping in the back seat of a car speeding out of a Norfolk police station, the old chap's expression frozen in classic tabloid rictus, caught like a raccoon on a trail cam halfway through pawing open the trash bin. "It was a proper old school news day, a guy being arrested," said Noble, displaying the exemplary English talent for understatement. Who could resist? Here was two of Britain's most successful cultural exports - the royal family and whodunit detective shows - packaged into a single product.

We lost an American original today. RIP Jesse Colin Young, 83. Jesse was a pioneer of folk rock. With his great voice and a band modestly named after him, he recorded wonderful tunes from the folk repertoire in smart arrangements, immortalizing Dino Valenti’s “Get Together,”anthem of the 60s.

Oh, nothing big, just J.D. Vance on Friday, spewing common explicitly Christian nationalist, white supremacist talking points to Laura Ingraham. I don't think people appreciate how much to the right even of Trump Vance is. Trump breezily embraces this garbage; Vance meditates on it.

screenshot: “The entire idea of Christian civilisation that led to the founding of the United States of America was formed in Europe. The cultural bonds, the religious bonds – these things are going to last beyond political disagreements,” Vance said.

“But I think that Europe, and frankly, I would have said this about America a year ago, is at risk, I think, of engaging in civilizational suicide.”

Two side-by-side images compare Kristi Noem's appearance in 2019 and 2025. The 2019 image shows her with natural makeup and a short, layered hairstyle. The 2025 image depicts her with darker, longer hair, heavier makeup, and a more sculpted facial appearance. The tweet above the images asks, "What has happened to Kristi Noem's face? 😳" and the post is captioned "Gender affirming care."

Now that we're in a trade war with one of the Five Eyes, who we've threatened to annex, I'm reminded of Xenophon's description of Menon. "...if he said he was a friend to anyone, it was plain that he was plotting against them. He would never ridicule an enemy, but always ridiculed his associates."

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse. Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws. Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional. A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.

In case you were in any doubt, Trump's ranting about Panama is ABSOLUTE INSANITY. And bottomless ignorance. (Canal transfer negotiations started *under Nixon*, completed under Carter. The main proponent was the US military.) More to come, but background: fallows.substack.com/p/panama-is-...

fallows.substack.com

Panama Is Back in the News. That Can Be a Good Thing.

The Panama Canal and its home country should be newly important to Americans. But in the opposite way from what Donald Trump has been talking about.
