You would think the various potential Republican candidates would be lined up around the block hoping to get a bit of Yuval’s savvy wisdom . . .
I would have given a prize to Pete too. And based on his really tough last column on immigration policy and such in context, I would also have given one to Ross Douthat. I will comment on that column, but only if Pete doesn’t get around to it.

Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
