That’s why Jesus gave all the money to the rich people, so that kind of thing couldn’t happen.
You know, kind of like the divine right of kings.

He was going on about how great it was that we were still at war in Afghanistan and that soldiers were still there. He was all patriotic about how tough we were. I pointed out that soldiers DIE for this stupid war. He said, well, that's what they're there for!

I asked- if he's so for war-- why wasn't his daughter (who was 21) volunteering and enlisting?

He stared at me. "But... but... She goes to Yale!"

Yeah, you know, only poor people should die for his war.

than he is with his parents.

Maybe the stranger would nurture him and turn him into a decent human being. As things stand now, he's just an Eric or Don, Jr. waiting to happen.

One degree of separation.

I know adults and kids at St. Andrews, who are doing their best to treat him as just another student. This Episcopal school, like the rest of the diocese, is wildly liberal.

Why Melania chose to put him there is inexplicable, but it is probably good for Barron. The school is far away from the White House, unlike multiple prestigious schools closer in.
