THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Peter Tonguette) - The Lessons Extracted from a Migraine
Is there something to be said for enforced stillness? The post The Lessons Extracted from a Migraine appeared first on The American Conservative .
Culture The Lessons Extracted from a Migraine Is there something to be said for enforced stillness? “I said I think that a guy who’s always interested in the condition of the world and changing it either has no problems of his own or refuses to face them,” said the novelist Henry Miller in a talking-head segment from Warren Beatty’s much-honored 1981 biopic of the Communist journalist John Reed, Reds. Although the film itself worked overtime to aggrandize its protagonist—he was, after all, played by Beatty, then in full command of his charm and screen presence—Miller did the opposite: The sly, devilish author of Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and other once-scandalous novels was attempting to cut Reed down to size.

History Why All The Hype For Nixon? Nixonmaxxers turn a good but flawed statesman into an idol. (Bettmann / Contributor/Getty Images) More than three decades after his death, Richard Milhouse Nixon is finally having his moment. A new generation of conservatives has come to admire the 37th president. They see him as the model Republican leader, far superior to Ronald Reagan and even Donald Trump. Hype edits of his speeches regularly go viral on social media. To those who partake in Nixonmaxxing, as the phenomenon has been dubbed, he is the man who nearly saved America—until the deep state took him out. On the one hand, Nixonmania is a necessary corrective to the image propagated by the media over the past 50 years. His critics, basing…Open

TakiMag Photo by: Peter Titmuss/Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I was questioned by the British police. Two friends and I had been accosted in the park by a man who had exposed himself and masturbated. We did not really understand what he was doing, but I must have provided a description of this strange conduct to my mother, who called the police. A policeman arrived that evening, dressed in the reassuring uniform that the police wore at that time, rather than the fascist-militia type of uniform that they so often…Open

The Trump administration has imposed new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries for their failure to ban or enforce prohibitions on goods made with forced labor.

The duties took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on July 24, replacing the temporary global 10% tariffs that were set to expire that same day. U.S. trade officials sorted the 60 economies into three groups based on their forced-labor import rules: Seventeen countries that have introduced even partial restrictions face a flat additional 10% tariff. These are: Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,…Open
