I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

Happy Halloween!

Nice piece by @JohnHirschauer in @CityJournal about The Great Pumpkin at 60.

We have it on DVD and our son loves it! A classic Halloween staple 🎃

Baseball provides a longer season by game count than any other American sport. Yet it still isn’t long enough for me. As soon as the World Series ends, I miss it already, writes Joseph Epstein

Can American history museums discuss racism in a way that is both honest and patriotic at the same time?

The African American Civil War Museum proves that it's possible. A beautiful essay by @xchrisgonz

Fantastic episode today @Commentary with special guest @dansenor on Israel's election; the Michigan Senate race; and the U.S. midterms. Plus, I recommend ways to remember Patrick Stewart.
commentary.org/noam-blum/sub-…

LISTEN: We are joined by @dansenor and @continetti to discuss the final vote totals in Israel’s elections and the prospects of forming a new government, and how will potential new coalitions deal with Israel’s geopolitical challenges?

Plus, the issue of rising antisemitism in the leadup to the midterms, the problem with polling rural conservatives, Haley Stevens’ message to Abdul El-Sayed, and Matt honors the late Patrick Stewart by recommending the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Inner Light and his general body of work.

Congratulations to @charlesmurray on receiving this year’s Jeane Kirkpatrick Prize from Encounter Books, and for an engaging, insightful acceptance speech. His new book, Taking Religion Seriously, is fascinating—and here is @RAVerBruggen in City Journal with a recent overview of Murray’s remarkable contribution to social thought:

I wrote about the African American Civil War Museum, which recently reopened in D.C. It's a wonderful museum and I highly recommend it. The way it deals with the history of race is exemplary.

#MISEN, via @continetti:

Always hearken to views of @continetti. This column is particularly germane to our current peril. wsj.com/opinion/free-e… via @WSJFreeEx

🎯 @continetti “In 2018 the late rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks spoke eloquently of how antisemitism corrupts society. First, antisemitism moves from the fringes to the center of a political party. Then, when a party sees it won’t be held accountable for antisemitic views, the virus gains strength. Finally, the opponents of antisemitism are vilified and punished for speaking out. “All three factors exist in Britain now,” Rabbi Sacks concluded.

America has crossed Sacks’s first threshold. Is it about to cross the second, where antisemites pay no price for slander?

The 2026 election will decide.”
