In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, everyone in America assumed that there would be wars to follow – wars over the reunification of Germany, over the nations within the sphere of Soviet influence, and more.

One of the things I endeavor to remind people of consistently when I am asked to speak to groups around the country is to consider the possibility that we are led by a pack of idiots. This is not out of any animus toward our leadership class, but borne out of experience.

‘Rogue One’ does not feel like a ‘Star Wars’ movie. There are no scrolling yellow letters. There is no classic John Williams score. It feels like a movie of a different type set in the ‘Star Wars’ universe, a movie where there is no magic to save you. It is not a movie for children.

Reviewing Michael Wolff’s ‘Fire and Fury’ presents a challenge for those of us tired of a media environment where the dominant voices consistently try to have it both ways.
