View from Above

"Historians searching for the real reason the Bidens clung to power too long may look no further than the looming loss of Air Force One. After flying private a few times with gilded friends, I am convinced it’s the single most seductive experience in the world. You realize there is no one you wouldn’t kill, betray, or sleep with to ensure a lifetime of luxe relief from the armpit of mass transit." Tina Brown in her Substack

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said in 2014, at the start of campaigning in an election that he lost, that flying over Sweden he saw that the country had "plenty of room for refugees".

“Many defenders of liberal democracy espouse some form of transnationalism, whether concrete (‘citizens of Europe’) or diffuse (the ‘international community,’ or even ‘citizens of the world’). From this perspective, national boundaries and loyalties are regarded as forms of irrationality. … These views, however sincere, are not widely shared. Transnationalism is the parochialism of elites.” Bill Galston(a Democrat), quoted by Rod Dreher.
