Alienation and Courage. Let us not invent additional troubles for ourselves. Kierkegaardian maxims for power and presence in our daily lives. Turning our backs on "next day" abstractions, which can only clutter the divine proportionality. In spite of our tremendous "alienation" from American culture and institutions, we may find answers in calm courage. Describing the Leap of Faith required. Rising to "the task of the age," a la Solzhenitsyn. The Example of Trump. MAGA is The Way. We sample the CPAC speech of Sen. Josh Hawley, steadfast in the storm. Meanwhile, GOPe David Perdue decides to leave politics after losing Trump's support. Chalk up one less RINO. Additional notes on the hapless Liz Cheney. Plus, a lofty chat with a psychologist. The sequelae of alienation. With Listener Calls & Music via Miranda Lambert and Elastica. Sacred Song from Ernest Tubb.
