It’s not just that European nations aren’t having children. They’re increasingly preventing the children they do have from being born. | @jackbutler4815 trib.al/43KWIjh
It’s not unusual to make things challenging for the world’s most famous superhero. But 'Superman', though not without some charms, overdoes it — and other things. | @jackbutler4815 trib.al/AH8TnmD

This had occurred to me. But it was only about 4 miles away.
When @jackbutler4815 tells us on the latest @NRO Editors podcast that Fort McHenry was within running distance of his hotel, it tells us almost nothing. Why, Fort McHenry is only about 40 miles from DC, so it’s probably running distance from his apartment!

Letting (or, if necessary, making) children play outside would be a good way of reclaiming childhood for kids. And limiting device time is a must. | @jackbutler4815 trib.al/2DkgdVK

Bravo @jackbutler4815 for effortlessly subbing in for @richlowry in latest “The Editors” pod, joined by @charlescwcooke, @AudreyFahlberg and @philipaklein: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… (Rich appears indifferent to the Wally Pipp precedent even though he’s a Yankees fan.) And Happy…
1/2 At @NRO, @jackbutler4815 praised the addition to the @FreeConTalk Statement of Principles of “the laws of nature and nature’s God” as the foundation of individual liberty. Butler, a #FreeCon signatory and NRO submissions editor, wrote that quoting the Declaration of…

Like the Declaration of Independence, the FreeCon statement of principles now invokes "nature and nature's God." This is a welcome sign for the movement. | @jackbutler4815 trib.al/3Ep4rKT
