“…but deep down in me I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie—I found that out.” - Huckleberry Finn
🚨 Q: You're entering the next life [before God], all you have to do to enter paradise is feel love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, etc...can you do it?
TRUMP: Then I wouldn't be real, would I? The easy answer is, yes, I could forgive. They are extremely dishonest people, bad people, I love our country far more...the answer is no. I want to be honest.
Q: In judgement before God?
TRUMP: I do hate some of my enemies. Look what they put me through.
REPORTER: You had the most charmed and remarkable life of any American in my entire lifetime, and you can't find it in your heart to forgive some of your enemies?
TRUMP: All I have to do is say yes, I can. Can I be honest? I probably cannot do that. Because I do hate some of my enemies — and I always will.
Never heard Trump get asked such a deep question like that before.
He COULD just say "yes" and get out of the question, but he didn't
One thing you have to admit is this man is brutally honest.
Time for the regularly scheduled “Men don’t read anymore” article. Literally every three months, like clockwork.

“Day and night the thought haunts me like a fiend, that my life is lost for ever. My past does not count, because I frittered it away on trifles...”
~ Chekhov, Uncle Vanya
SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL FOOL… A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FOOL… YOU OLD SPORT!
For Halloween, share your favorite spooky classic. I’ll go first:
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Pleased to announce my modern-day police procedural take on ‘PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.’
The series follows “Fitz” Darcy, a criminal profiler whose pride blinds him to anything that doesn’t fit his pet theories, and Liz Bennet, a by-the-book detective whose prejudice against rich suspects (and her arrogant new partner) keeps her from seeing what’s right in front of her.
Happy belated birthday to the inestimable Evelyn Waugh. Brideshead is a masterpiece, but here are five works I might like even better. How many have you read?
•A Handful of Dust
•Sword of Honour (trilogy)
•Helena
•Love Among the Ruins
•Scott-King’s Modern Europe
RIP Patrick Stewart.
He had many great Shakespeare performances, but his John of Gaunt in Richard II is perhaps my favorite.
Mr. Bennet, upon being shown the 5000th P&P adaptation:
“That will do extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough. Let the other young ladies have time to exhibit.”
Young people are hungry for having *something* expected of them.
It’s an ungodly amount of reading and no easy A. So why are freshmen lining up to get into Humanities 10? on.wsj.com/4iIxhOF
