Culture Taki’s Hellas of Heroes The latest woke fad is but a brief moment in the span of Hellenic history. TakiMag I write this from the ancient land of Homeric heroes, Hellas, better known to the rest of you as Greece. Hellas has given us democracy, philosophy, tragedy, comedy, oligarchy, oratory, and ostracism. We also invented the Olympic Games, in which amateur athletes competed for a laurel wreath, and some died for it during the pankration competition. (It was like MMA but much rougher, and many expired rather than surrender.) Half of Greek males today are called Alexander—after the great king—and many others are…Open

‘I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning’
Joe Biden. Mitch McConnell. The congressman nobody had heard about until he went missing for months. Why are politicians so opaque about their health and cognitive abilities? Americans have unfortunately come to assume that politicians lie virtually every time they open their mouths. Now, we all assume that when a politician is too old or beleaguered by an aging body and brain to serve in office, their handlers will also lie and dodge and chum the waters with carefully crafted statements rather than just telling the truth, plain and simple.
