Logistical question--if I think I'm a subscriber should I already have received parts 2-4?

Yes! If you haven't received it, it's either because you only just subscribed (in which case, consult the archives), or because you haven't subscribed. Note: There is a difference between "being on the mailing list" and "subscribing." The first is free, the second is not.

I suddenly feel like I should have been paying closer attention to the different ways of supporting you. Is a Substack subscription preferable to Patreon?

This says I must be a subscriber to comment. I thought I was, but didn't get parts 2-4, so maybe I'm not, and yet I'm commenting? All very mysterious.

As long as I'm sitting at the keyboard....why are you so surprised at the antics of the progressive left? when these people assert that a "man" can menstruate, a boy can be a "girl scout", a baby in the ninth month of pregnancy is nothing more than an undefined mass of cells, when after 8 years of a very popular black president the white male defeats the white female in an election it is called a "whitelash" and the person who said it is not immediately referred for a psychiatric examination, when a serious Democratic presidential contender actually praised bread lines in the Soviet Union (while his Jewish brothers and sisters were rotting in communist jails for the crime of wanting to emigrate) and this wacko commie comes across as the most sincere, passionate and idealistic of all the candidates, should anything surprise you anymore. The Democratic party has unmoored itself from uncomfortable confrontations with reality. I'm shocked that you are shocked. I wonder what Margaret Thatcher would have said.

If I sound like I'm going a little stir crazy, it's probably because I am

Claire, I think you are doomed to live from crisis to crisis. This is the MOST critical moment.......THis is the MOST critical election........NOW is the time we NEED......EVERTYTHING hinges on......We are at a CRUCIAL CROSSROAD...........Can we SURVIVE another..........Fill in the blanks from whatever decade or period in human history you wish. Please remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things remain the same...as time goes by. Does God exist, is he involved with his creatures and does he have a plan for his Creation? (If not who cares anyways.) What is the definition of morality? What does it actually mean to be a good person? What is the purpose of human existence? Have we answered these questions yet? (I actually could recommend a good book that discusses many of these issues) If we haven't then it's all just news, weather, and sports. And that's why it's so important to talk about Tara Reade and Joe Biden's early onset of dementia and his creepy habit of stroking little girls....INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW! And if that's all there is then let's keep dancing, let's break out the booze......How about visiting Israel one of these days?
