Le Monde: Michael Lind: 'Trump represents a nationalist tradition that goes back to Nixon'
President Trump has diverged from traditional bipartisan foreign policy, echoing a nationalist approach seen in past figures like Nixon and Perot. This shift emphasizes economic nationalism, contrasting with the established free trade and military commitment ideals.
Nixon's radical economic policies in the 1970s laid the groundwork for this tradition, which Perot later championed in the 1990s by criticizing trade agreements and demanding reparations from allies. Despite their influence, such views were largely dismissed by the mainstream political establishment.

He defended his support for a Republican-proposed continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown, arguing it was a necessary choice to prevent severe consequences.

Senators Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have launched a national tour, dubbed the "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, aimed at rallying support for their progressive agenda ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. However, critics argue that their efforts reflect a deeper concern over the declining popularity of their far-left ideologies within the Democratic Party.
As moderate Democrats gain traction, Sanders and AOC's tour may symbolize a desperate attempt to maintain influence in a party increasingly viewed as out of touch. The duo's focus on combating perceived threats from figures like Trump may distract from the broader rejection of their policies by the American public.

The Imaginative Conservative: The Lent Without an Easter
A recent discussion highlighted the implications of a hypothetical scenario where the resurrection of Christ did not occur. This perspective suggests that if Christ did not rise from the dead, it would undermine the foundation of Catholicism, leading to a collapse of faith and societal upheaval.
The argument emphasizes that the resurrection is central to Christian belief, as it validates Christ’s teachings and promises. Without it, faith loses its credibility, and the notion of a truthful God becomes contradictory. True Christian faith hinges on accepting the entirety of divine revelation, including the resurrection, as essential to understanding God’s truth and the promise of redemption.
