IPA Review features Andrew Bushnell on Trump:Chief Critic of American Conservatism as a review of George Hawley’s “Right Wing Critics of American Conservatism” The article is deficient. Libertarians criticising critics of conservatism is always going to be problematic. Libertarians don’t tend to understand conservatives, otherwise they would claim some of the values of the broad church of Conservatism. Precisely where the deficiency is from is not certain, but I believe Hawley has written better than Bushnell understands. Conservatism is ancient, and predates progressivism and has an antecedent base which is firmer. However by focusing only on post WW2 conservatism the author is able to get to their thesis. Conservatism existed in US politics during the 1930’s and 40’s, but five successive terms of Democrat Presidency had meant there needed to be a reboot and reform of the broad conservative movement. GOP had been competitive with Dems, but Dem corruption and their media ally had bruised the confidence of the conservative movement. But a young prosecutor in Nixon, and a WW2 General Eisenhower provided stable leadership. Meanwhile, a media group think tank called National Review provided intellectual underpinning and discussion for the broad church conservatives. The success of progressives had nothing to do with a grand battle being waged, but a political cycle which stabilised things. Abysmal press would promote Dem government under any circumstance, and people sometimes believe them and sometimes don’t. The GOP got clever about campaigning under Reagan and learned they couldn’t get dogged fighting the past, but needed to provide policy for today. So when George W Bush served out his second term, the GOP stopped defending him.
Trump is a conservative from within the broad church. Libertarians don’t like him because isn’t one of them. Trump is not fighting to rehabilitate GOP or fight their old battles. Trump has a Reagan play book of fighting the battles that matter now. Trump is pragmatic, and this confuses theoreticians. Trump was once a darling of progressives, but that was because he was in business, not politics.
Meanwhile Trump’s progressive opponent is loved by the press and demonstrably corrupt. And the Libertarian candidate is trying to find Aleppo. Or a head of state.
Rumour now runs internationally that the apparent Saudi Spy who partners Hillary Clinton kept a life insurance policy of emails left in her ex husband’s computer. And the FBI found it. And so the insurance policy has been cashed in early. And the FBI investigating a witch on Halloween have found incriminating evidence on her familiar’s Weiner.
One person who knows how to profit from central planning is Hillary Clinton. The Chicago Tribune is withdrawing support from her, and suggesting that Democrats replace Hillary. But corrupt news, like the Tribune, knew everything now known about Hillary as they supported her days ago. Maybe they are only backing a tribe, but not a policy? And Maybe they want to find another crook. I note that press, who had accepted Hillary's corruption, are now denouncing her Saudi Spy Handler
Donald Trump's speech at Gettysburg is frightening media. They have supported and protected insider corruption for a long time. Trump will clean up the festering wound, and make America great again.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.
