Beau Geste Addendum
Since today is a family day, I can only offer a few quick thoughts, probably more than any “fly by” comments deserve. As for the current situation in Europe (and the West by extension), there are no surprises for those who understand Tradition. As a matter of fact, one of … Continue reading
