Sunday Smiles – HotAir

I have had a lot of fun watching the MSM and the academic elite twist themselves into knots trying to defend Claudine Gay and attack Christopher Rufo, who was instrumental in taking her down. What all these efforts have in common is that they prove that Rufo was right. Academia is irredeemably corrupt, driven by […]

When the Signs Say, “One Way”: Sunday Reflection – HotAir

On Stir-up Sunday, Christianity’s debt to Judaism

WITH anti-Semitism a worsening blight on Britain, the Prayer Book ‘For the Epistle’ reading for today, the last Sunday before Advent, is a powerful reminder that the Saviour of the world is the ultimate Davidic King. Normally, the Epistle reading is from the New Testament, but in the run-up to Advent Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (1489-1556), […]
