PowerLine blog is a
regular stop for me. John Hinderaker is one of the regulars, and he just reported on Freedom Center’s annual event, Restoration Weekend. His report is a
real pick-me-up, and I recommend sitting down to enjoy reading the whole thing.
Click here. He leads off:
I am en route home from the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Restoration
Weekend in Palm Beach, Florida. This was my first Restoration Weekend, but it
won’t be my last. It was an intense three days; I can’t begin to do it justice
in a post but will try to touch on a few highlights that may be of interest to
our readers.
* David Horowitz, at age 80,
remains a national treasure. This morning there was a touching memorial tribute
to Peter
Collier, David’s long-time friend and collaborator. It is good to see that
David is still going strong.
* Victor Davis Hanson spoke at the
opening dinner Thursday night. He put aside his prepared remarks to talk about
the impeachment fiasco now taking place in Washington. We had a chance to chat
briefly after the event. . . .
* Donald Trump, Jr. spoke at
Friday’s breakfast. He was excellent – in my view, a top-notch surrogate who
pulls no punches. Those who attended Restoration Weekend got a copy of his new
book, Triggered. I am only a few chapters into it, but it is surprisingly
good – one of the most fiery books I have ever read. It tells the story of the
last three years from an insider’s perspective, and Donald Jr. is brutal in his
evaluations of figures like Robert Mueller. Scott [Johnson] sometimes talks about needing
help with his anger management therapy. Trust me: Triggered is
therapeutic.
. . .
Included in his
report are Candace Owen, Diamond & Silk, Rich Little, James O’Keefe, David
Horowitz, and many other reporters, bloggers, and investigative journalists
whose names you will recognize. Interesting and fun.
