“Social solidarity is destroyed when you have too much migration too quickly,” JD Vance tells our columnist Ross Douthat in this episode of “Interesting Times.” “That’s not because I hate the migrants or I’m motivated by grievance. That’s because I’m trying to preserve something in my own country.”

Ya gotta wonder, where on earth would a probation officer in rural Oregon get the idea that casually giving Nazi salutes is just a fun, jokey sort of thing one can do around other people with impunity? [cough] Elon [cough] www.oregonlive.com/pacific-nort...
A probation officer in Oregon was fired for using a Nazi salute at work. An arbitrator restored his job
Wasco County Sheriff Lane Magill said he'll fight the order to bring the officer back. “We ... will not allow antisemitic behavior at our office," he said.
