"Our Lives, Our Fortunes, and Our Sacred Honor" is the concluding, defining vow of the United States Declaration of Independence. - Google AI

Or, in the case not of the 56 Founding Fathers, Declaration Division, but of our current 100 Abolishing Mother[*]s, "Our Death, Our Dishonor - and Our Sacred Fortunes."

"The median net worth of a sitting U.S. senator is nearly $4.4 million, and the average net worth is estimated between $2.9 million and $13 million, depending on how data outliers are calculated. Because federal law allows lawmakers to report assets in broad value ranges, exact figures are impossible to determine, but the upper chamber is heavily composed of millionaires. To compare, at least 73 of the 100 senators are estimated to be millionaires—more than 70 times the rate of the general U.S. population. 

Breakdown of Wealth: 

Partisan Divide: Republican senators have a median net worth of nearly $5.7 million, while Democrats and aligned independents have a median of roughly $2.9 million.

General Public: By comparison, the overall median U.S. household net worth is around $121,700.

The "Gen" Gap: Median wealth varies significantly by age, with millennial senators boasting a median net worth of about $2.9 million compared to roughly $746,000 for Gen X.

Feral Burro of Instigation, or, 2025 Mules: a Judah Spree de l'Escalier, scarring Kash Ankeri, the Newest Dal/Reaction Figure from Patel®

David French: "[FBI pick Kash] Patel is so absurdly devoted to [45/47] that he wrote a children's book about him called 'The Plot Against the King,' in which he describes the Russia investigation as a plot by 'Hillary Queenton' against 'King Donald.' "In December 2023, he told [45's] former adviser Steve Bannon, 'We're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.' "'We're going to come after you,' he continued, 'whether it's criminally or civilly. We'll figure that out.'" https://www.nytimes.com/live/ 2024/11/26/opinion/thepoint/ patel-trump-fbi-loyalty?smid= url-share Announcer: Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of "Ol' Jeez an' New Deez," a lighthearted interfaith interface that attempts to discern the ways, if any, in which those claiming to be disciples of our co-host - Jeez, not De...

Bon of   the Vanity Fair s Below, 63 pieces of candy from  Cond é  (Nast)  c. 1914-1936, largely  Vanity  Fair  covers with a few early  Vogue  and  House and Garden  numbers as well.  The lush hermetic aestheticism of the 1910s, in all its ritual harlequinade, peacockery, stained-glass Tiffany washes of chromatic incandescence, sinuous Art Nouveau curves, flourishes of  Japoniste  exotica, and cameos out of C18 France, gave way over the postwar years to ongoing eruptions into the garden party of the social and artistic earthquakes and flashes of heat lightning outside, in the forms of boxy geometric modernism, burly big-shouldered industrialism, social satire and, into the 1930s, the lengthening shadows of Depression, the multiple risings of Eurasian fascism, and prophetic glimpses of the total-war reprise of 1914-1918 to come three years after the 1936 folding of  Vanity  Fair .

Hurrah for the CIA

The Editor of this blog thanks The Editor of The Times Literary Supplement for publishing, in that paper's issue for May 8, 2020, his letter addressing topics that have him much engaged these last forty-five years . Hurrah for the CIA I have long been at one with the efforts of J.C. (NB, April 24) to rescue Encounter from its reputation among the bien-pensants as little more than a propaganda front for the CIA – the source, over its first decade, of secret funding, which came via private foundations and thence Encounter ’s publisher, the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF). The revelation of that funding in 1966 led to the resignation of Encounter ’s founding co-editor Stephen Spender and his successor Frank Kermode, and a decline in prestige as rival start-ups such as the N ew York Review of Books absorbed its top-rank contributors. (George Steiner proved a notable exception, sticking with Encounter through to the late 1980s; indeed he had already alienated William Ph...
