My favorite part of that video with the Truth Minister - aside from the ridiculousness of what she's saying and the doofus vigorously shaking his head in agreement - are the weirdos wearing masks on a video meeting!

I subscribed because you’re funny and honest, even though I think you suffer from a touch of TDS

I subscribed because I've agreed with your Twitter feed for a long time, I've wanted to support the content creators I agree with (and finally can, directly!), and I had hoped that I'd find a not crazy or not Bulwarky (i.e., saying one thing and claiming to be another) writer eventually!

A baby formula shortage in America! This is what happens when one thinks and votes that "The Party" can run the country.

Ah, the "Destroyer" books. I got hooked while a young soldier stationed in Korea in the early 1970s and was tickled that the best character (as you point out) was the Korean assassin, Chuin.

I can't remember how many I read. Pure formula, pure brainless entertainment. "His name was Remo Williams."

I subscribed because I regularly read your column and I figure it’s only right to pay for something you are using. The words don’t write themselves.

"But this ditz has the U.S. government behind her."

And she blinks way too much. Like she's trying too hard to convince us that she's not a lizard.

I’m tempted to tell you I subscribed out of pity because you used words to put sad puppy eyes in my imagination, but the real reason is that I’ve been enjoying your work since before the Daily Caller made you a star. I didn’t subscribe earlier because I’m cheap. Maybe we’re alike, and that’s why I finally paid.

I hyped you on Twitter yesterday so I'll take credit for the newbies. (It probably wasn't me.)

Major points for acknowledging the greatness of Remo and Chiun.

I subscribe because of your acerbic wit - I call the telling examples “Treacherisms”…e.g. “Biden’s staffers are terrified every time he sneezes. Not because they’re worried about him catching COVID-19, but because the last few dregs of his liquefying brain might shoot out his nose.”

Houston, we have a problem. I subscribed because I felt we're on the same page. But your cognitive dissonance as to Trump is getting increasingly hard to accept; your otherwise brilliant commentary doesn't quite compensate. To suggest that any Democrat or Republican would have accomplished as much as he did, nationally and internationally, would not be sane. We don't elect high-school class presidents, w/the focus on personal popularity. Rather, we hope our leader will build and leave a better nation than he found in '16. The thought that the Hildebeast or any of her ilk (i.e., any Dem and much of the RHINO party) could have been at the helm is was and is truly scary. We'd have descended to where we are now years ago and by now fallen off the cliff. One doesn't have to like Trump's personality to recognize the great things he did. You deny reality w/your over-the-top pique, pummeling him when the reasonable reaction would be to dream of the good ol' days. Jimbo, I hope you will at least tone it much down, delete the nasty digs, etc. I'm surely not alone amongst your readership. You can't rationally prefer continuance of our Dem-led death spiral to a revival of the Trump White House.

I'm glad your knee isn't killing you anymore, after all those years. Seems like a miracle, eh?

When I think of Fred Ward I think of Tremors: "Dammit Valentine! You gotta have a plan. Here it is today and I am already thinking about tomorrow. That's why you'll never get ahead."

Don't you get subscription bumps whenever Tucker mentions you by name or RealClear posts one of your articles? RealClear did post you this week but I can't recall if it was yesterday...

PS - I love Remo Williams. A good Swiss name that! I tap my nails on a board to this day and would break a tooth if I tried to chew one.

Two things:

1) Richard Nixon?

2) Not a big fan of fate, destiny, karma, kismet or providence?

I signed up because my conscience was getting to me when you were in danger of freezing your ass off because your furnace was on the blink.
