Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsBrian Williams’s Truth Problem, and Ours — Victor Davis Hanson
There’s been a lot of talk since the US election about Post Truth and Alternative Facts so away from the static and hubbub of election proper, it’s interesting to revisit this story from February 2015. Suffice to say the phenomenon is not new.
The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party — David Horowitz

The jig is up, Waleed Aly. You’ve shown your true colours — Caleb Bond, Daily Telgraph
