Christine Lagarde

Troubling Times

The week between Christmas and New Year's is a long one, recovery time for many of us. The silliest newspaper in the world, The New York Times, uses it to slip in some propaganda posing as news, but that's not news for most of us, is it? The Times ...

Go Figure, You Nonbelievers

Have we ever needed Christianity more than today? It’s a rhetorical question, for sure, because the loss of our faith and the inability to confront Islam have never been greater. When I was a little boy during the war, my mother assured me that if ...

Outrageous Cases of Outrage

Who said that African-Americans lack initiative? It was obviously a fool, and a racist to boot. White folks never came up with terrific initiatives such as speech codes, political correctness, and boycotting speakers you don"€™t like. Well, maybe ...

Karl Lagerfeld

Hype Is Tripe

Things turn very frivolous around this time of year. Barf-inducing parties by pop culture schlock merchants selling their wares are a nightly transgression, the hacks duly reporting the shenanigans of doped-up rappers the next day as once upon a ...

PC Schnooks and Bureaucrooks

What does one do, go to or refuse a party after a tragic event such as the recent Paris outrage? My son happens to live next to the Place de la République, where the massacre of innocents by those nice Islamists showing off their manhood took ...

Demi Moore

‘Blind’ Ambition

Blind is an indie movie with an original screenplay by John Buffalo Mailer and directed by his older brother Michael Mailer. It stars Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore, and the cast includes yours truly. Personal feelings aside, and from all reports and ...

Jean-Claude Juncker

Time to Get Tough

Leave it to the egregious New York Times to run an editorial three days after the Paris massacres defending the so-called refugees. They are not refugees but migrants, and economic migrants at that. The newspaper that only prints what its ...

Usain Bolt

Twitter Twits, Facebores, and Instagoons

Those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it, said Jon Ronson, a man I’d never heard of until his quip about spaghetti. I read this somewhere, as I’ve never used social media—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram—and hope never to. Why would ...

Stephanie Seymour

A Man’s Home

I have finally moved into my new flat, a jewel of a place in a pre–World War I Park Avenue building. The finishing touches won’t be finalized until Christmas 2016, as work is not permitted except for the two summer months. This is the way it ...

Henry Kissinger

The Good Doctor

A few years back I was spending the weekend with the designer Oscar de la Renta and his wife, and they took me along to dinner at a neighbor's on Saturday night. We were in rural Connecticut, and the scene and the house we visited were straight out ...

Cleveland, Ohio

America, Is That You?

To Cleveland, Ohio, where mid-America’s middle class begins its great Midwest sprawl. I always wanted to visit Cleveland because the so-called sophisticates have poked fun at it. And the place does not disappoint. Beautiful municipal buildings of ...

Long Island Unsound

Long before the word "€œoligarch"€ became a substitute for major Russian crooks and fraudsters, and a decade before Tom Wolfe invented masters of the universe, we had Wall Street Croesuses posing as gentlemen in Scottish moors. I remember it as ...
