Update: Suspect taken into custody. In Switzerland, however, the suspect has died of his wounds. So far Swiss authorities have not come to the conclusion that the stabbing spree/arson attack on train passengers was linked to terrorism.

You are reading the 1,500th (extended) post to American Rattlesnake, a project which began in the febrile imagination of my friend and colleague, Michel Evanchik.

A few additional notes regarding George Hawley’s fascinating look at dissent within the right: Notwithstanding the Trump Ascendancy, his belief that moderate libertarianism-or conservatarianism, as some have dubbed it-will exert the greatest influence over mainstream conservatism in the years ahead holds some merit.
