Pope Urges Europeans to Bend Over, Grab Their Ankles, and Let the Boat People In

Pope Francis is the first pontiff who was born and raised outside of Europe since 741 AD. He helms the Catholic Church, whose ranks, according to 2010 statistics, are composed of a mere 32% of people who live in Europe and North America. The Caucasian Quotient dips even lower when one considers that about 20 million Catholics in the United States are “Latino.” (more…)

If Holden Caulfield did battle with the phonies, Howie Carr does it with hacks. Howie is a Boston journalist whose mischievous face is a combination of Jimmy Cagney and Mephistopheles, offering Irish bravado and tempting the reader, listener, or viewer — he’s done his act for all three — to see the facts and get angry. In Paper Boy, Howie’s memoir, there’s a lot to get angry about, but almost every page bristles with laugh-out-loud moments. (more…)

Richard Hanania’s The Origins of Woke is Christopher Caldwell’s excellent book, The Age of Entitlement, but in a less sober and more opinionated tone, and with more speculation on what’s to be done about the predicament. While both books get the point across, Hanania’s trying to get several other points across that distract from the central thesis: Our legal system contains a civil rights ratcheting mechanism that requires all corporations and organizations to promote a “Leftist” (anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-male, anti-straight) political agenda.

My Problem with “Anime”

What I hate most about anime is the word “anime” itself, because the term was invented as a con to obscure the fact that you are simply watching a cartoon. It’s not “anime.” They are cartoons from Japan.

The term “action figure” was coined in the 1960s by the inventor of GI Joe, because he knew if he called them “dolls” — which is what they were — no boy would want to play with them. (more…)

Captivity narratives, especially those written by women, were a staple of American literature during the nineteenth century. Stories of white women captured and abused by savage Indians certainly inspired enough fascination and horror in the American public to warrant its own literary genre. And for good reason, considering that there had been thousands of white captives throughout American history up to 1900, and the abuse they in many cases suffered was a fate worse than death.

Erik Kirschbaum
Burning Beethoven: The Eradication of German Culture in the United States during World War I
New York: Berlinica Publishing, 2014

Much ink has been spilled over the travails faced by non-white minorities in the United States, but the persecution of German-Americans during the First World War has received scant attention. The few scholars who do address this forgotten chapter in American history, such as Erik Kirschbaum in Burning Beethoven, frame it as a morality tale about the evils of “xenophobia” and cast WASP Americans as the villains.

Although sometimes the police do get too heavy-handed, they’re only human. Moreover, they’re in one of the few professions in which one can be get criticized merely for doing their jobs. Worse, they also get criticized if they flake off and don’t do their jobs. This is surely an unenviable situation. They also get teased quite a bit about their addiction to coffee and doughnuts. Their deep admiration for deep-fried toroidal goodness is legendary. (more…)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, not Karl Marx is the real father and inspiration for the theater of the absurd that is today’s Left. Rousseau’s “Man is born free, everywhere he is in chains” is the original formulation of the adolescent anarchist rally-cry, “Rage against the machine!” (more…)
