THE VIEW FROM AFAR

Notes from a retired newspaper publisher

Tuesday, November 11, 2025

Why the mis-educated youth of today needs to know what happened 100 years ago.#

Must read: Why desperate young on right & left would tear down civilization because they don’t know what pillars of it are worthwhile, falling headlong like Bolsheviks & Weimar republicans into top-down rule. What I Saw And Heard In Washington, @roddreher https://t.co/4j6eDAIrKC [Link]#

Stelter should have been shunned long ago.#

In his journolism, Stelter more often emphasized his narrative than accurately mapping reality. — TATER TAUNTED: https://t.co/KWCNp2XaVI Earlier: Trump Takes https://t.co/EPSLRoQ5f6 [Link]#

Too many schools left students unprepared to reason.#

“Distinguo!” was used in classical debates when a logical flaw was detected in a poorly formed debate argument ... the kind that has infiltrated many political and media arguments today. Most schools no longer teach how to detect flawed arguments. https://t.co/UDYb1vPOUo [Link]#

Britain fail.#

Calling out PM Starmer for undermining Britain. — Former British generals warn that soldiers’ fear of ‘lawfare’ is eroding trust and a ‘direct threat to national security‘ https://t.co/YyYzfsOy83 [Link]#

Why is he still employed? Oh. He isn’t. #

Tapper deserved every metaphorical slap for his unethical misuse of words to shape a false narrative. — NUKE-I-FIED! Mollie Hemingway DOGWALKS Jake Tapper for Tantruming Over Trump Pardoning ‘Fake‘ Electors https://t.co/yCguvyVHLE [Link]#

A virtual vacation.#

The way life used to be. — Scientists Create a Google Maps of the Roman Empire–Plan Your Trip Along Their Famous Roads https://t.co/NQwqHfOpwL [Link]#

NYC faces interesting times.#

Not even Hochul supports what Democrats did in NYC. — Hochul slams brakes on Zohran Mamdani’s free NYC bus plan: ‘Takes money out of a system that relies on fares’ https://t.co/ixtE4KRsbM [Link]#
