Summary

Jonah, under the anvil of God and parked outside a Colorado Walmart, gives an update on his current cross-country trek. He ruminates on Kamala Harris' first interview and whether her connection to the Biden administration will actually matter to voters. His psephological Tourette syndrome subsides so he gets into the minutiae of his Wednesday G-File on how Christianity rewired the Western mind and why that's good news even if it’s not quite the good news. Something about a Walmart parking lot brings out the Thomistic. Plus: more on the Bulwark Front of Judea vs. the Judean Dispatch Front.
