Dear Jolter, Yours Truly here was just told by Casey to grab a bat ("Geraghty is off doing something somewhere with somebody") and try to hit it to right. Consider it done Old, Perfessor: We'll do right by the Morning Jolt fans. But first . . . What a name! And what a bat! The White Sox Smead Jolley was considered the best hitter in minor-league history, and he also holds the American League record for the highest single-season batting average for a pinch hitter (.467 in 1931). 
But he couldn't field for nothing, as we say in the Bronx. So it was a short career. But one for the record books. Okay, now getting serious, what follows are but a few of the many important and wise reads you will find today on NRO. Not jolly this morning, by any measure, are most people who ascribe to Western Civilization and sensibilities, shocked by yet another terror attack that claimed many souls, to the thrill of Islamofascists. Our editorial, "After Brussels, Time to Get Serious," is a smart, immediate take on the attack in Belgium, and what it means for the U.S. Please read it and share it. Here's a slice: A half century of effectively open borders, a refusal to require assimilation of immigrants into a robust notion of European culture, and an unyielding fidelity to multicultural pieties have resulted in cities fractured along ethnic lines and, as Brussels officials have admitted in the hours since Tuesday morning's attack, overwhelmed by potential terror threats. As one official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Buzzfeed: "It's literally an impossible situation, and, honestly, it's very grave." Related: Andy McCarthy's Corner post defending Ted Cruz's call "to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized." You need to read it. More not jolly: If you were expecting Jonah Goldberg to be his usual bubbles and gumdrops, sunshine and butterflies, you're out of luck. His new piece is "It's the End of the Line for the GOP as We Know It." Which reminds me of this image from Little Caesar . . . 
. . . and the famous line, "Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico?" Yes, it seems that way Rico. You're pretty observant. Anyway, read Jonah, weep, share, then put on the big boy pants (which, sorry Donald, even Jonah knows how to buy) and pick a side. Finally, Hillary had a really bad week. But no one heard about it. Stephen Miller tells you why (and what she did). Well, today is Spy Wednesday. The day of Judas conspiring. Surely another "conservative" will mark it by calculating how to sell out for 30 chips at Trump Taj Mahal. Mother of Mercy, help! Jack Fowler  |
