Owl

The cautious intellectual who sees danger others miss.

David Frum is a cerebral, analytical conservative commentator known for carefully reasoned arguments and long-range political foresight, most notably coining 'axis of evil' and later warning early and loudly about Trumpism's threat to democracy. Like the owl, he operates with deliberate, measured precision rather than emotional bluster, surveying the landscape from an elevated, independent vantage point. His willingness to break with his own tribe and issue sober warnings mirrors the owl's reputation for wisdom and detached observation.
