Frank Herbert’s original novel Dune (1965) is a brilliant synthesis of the futurism of science fiction and the archaism of fantasy literature. Denis Villeneuve’s continuing film adaptation Dune: Part Two is now in theaters. It is a bit better than the first part, but has all the same problems, and a few new ones, so I can’t recommend it. Like the first part, it is not terrible, just mediocre: dull to my eyes, grating to my ears, trying to my patience, an insult to my intelligence, and worst of all: just another Hollywood attack on white people.

As the ancient African proverb says, “You should never chimp out on a gorilla.”
In Atlanta last Sunday — in yet another sad and tiresome case of the black community harming the black community, leading to the black pundits who represent the black community demanding that the black community be nicer to the black community — former superstar quarterback Cam Newton, a 6’5” dreadlocked Sasquatch described as “arguably the most physically imposing quarterback the NFL has ever seen,” was attacked by a small throng of young amateur footballers, whom he effortlessly tossed around like stuffed animals before security guards stepped in and deescalated the situation.

The Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Soviet Union suffered a catastrophic meltdown in April 1986. The disaster was too big to ignore, and it shattered the prestige upon which the Evil Empire was built. Thereafter the entirety of the Communist bloc in Europe started to collapse. (more…)

Joe Biden’s plan to occupy the White House for a second term has most likely been upended by by Special “Emperor has no clothes” Counsel, Robert Hur. He officially opined recently that the President is too old and his memory much too defective to be tried before a jury. Dr. Jill’s husband is visibly decrepit and so demonstrably cognitively impaired that he should not be permitted to testify in a court of law. (more…)

You can’t appease everyone
When Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was paying attention at Reigate Grammar School in the 1970s and I wasn’t, he may have come across that old conundrum; What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? (It’s an illegitimate question, by the way, due to its inappropriate use of temporality, but that’s for another day.) If he was not previously aware of this intellectual teaser, he will be now.

One of my favorite movies is the 1986 film Hoosiers. As a lifelong sports fan and former basketball player, I am drawn to the story of an underdog high school team overcoming the odds to win a championship. Set in the fictional town of Hickory in the early 1950s, it showcases the unique relationship between high school basketball and the culture of rural Indiana.
The title of the film is significant. “Hoosier” has a long history as a colloquial term for natives of Indiana. According to the Indiana Historical Bureau: (more…)

En julio de 2013, se anunció que Derek Black, el hijo del fundador de Stormfront, Don Black, había renunciado al Nacionalismo Blanco. Esto plantea una incógnita de la mayor importancia acerca de cómo la gente construye o abandona sus creencias. Hay dos tipos básicos de creencias: aquéllas que se toman como verdaderas en base a la realidad y la razón, en contraposición a aquéllas que se toman como verdaderas en base a la opinión de otras personas.
