If you haven't already - purchase a subscription to The Dispatch. The market doesn't work if people don't vote with the feet. Jonah, Steve, and the rest of the Dispatch crew are doing GREAT work over there.

If anyone is interested, they were recently doing a promotion where current subscribers could gift a month-long subscription to someone else. If any Racket fans want to give Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg's vision of what media should be, leave a comment or send me a note to substack@aetherial.net and I'll see how many gift subscriptions I have left.

Good for Goldberg and Hayes. Eventually you stop trying to swim upstream in a cesspool.

Not surprising that I’d see Jonah and Steve do what they did in resigning as FNC contributors. I’ve been long time fans of Jonah and Steve going back to well over a decade, and what they did just reinforces why I’m strongly supportive of their work at the Dispatch. That and NRO(where I became better acquainted with the works of Jonah and David French) the two conservative media outlets I support(I have NRO plus and Dispatch paid subscriptions) the most.

All right everyone! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And that includes leaving each other alone to celebrate with friends and family. I’m gonna suspend comments on this post. Thanks everyone for reading it and now let’s forget politics for a day.

And regarding Charles Krauthammer, he is a conservative voice of reason that I sorely miss. His very incisive, insightful, and rational takes on political matters was one of a kind. I’ve listened to his commentary for years, but I had no idea until just a few years prior to his passing that he was paraplegic. I saw him once at Dulles Airport in a motorized scooter, and only then realized that fact. I think Krauthammer would’ve approved wholeheartedly of The Dispatch and the work Steve and Jonah do there.

This is a never-Trump hive. No tolerance at all, no consideration of what he did far better than the idiots in charge now. One of the things you said while scolding me about a complaint I expressed was that you would never make the Racket a never-Trump site. Intentional or otherwise, that's what it has become But, it's a free country. I'm Trump tolerant and can see nothing good in the current administration.

I do read whatever I can get free from The Dispatch and would not recommend it to anyone. One theme, one point of view and if you pay for the right to comment as a Trump tolerant Republican, your comments would be buried in an avalanche of hate Trump and hate Republicans until they become democrats.
