Residents of Crook County, Oregon recently voted on joining the latest secessionist effort gaining steam within the rapidly-polarizing United States. The Greater Idaho movement seeks to incorporate up to 14 counties of eastern Oregon into the state of Idaho, which would extend Idaho’s border several hundred miles westward to the Cascade Mountains.

The 2024 campaign season is underway, with the vote coming up in a matter of months. I have six brief questions for the Republican incumbents and challengers who want my vote. Being an elected official obviously carries tremendous responsibility. Some Republican candidates have a good track record, but others don’t. (more…)

Like many social-media junkies on the Right, I find it incredibly entertaining to read and respond to posts on Twitter/X written by grievance-mongering liberals or delusional Africanists if only because it gives me the opportunity to pounce on at least some of the half-baked idiocy that passes for thinking these days. These “ratios” are, if futile, quite satisfying nonetheless, at least as much for me as for the original shit-poster who banged out nonsense on his or her keyboard just because. (more…)

Part 6 of 7 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here, Part 5 here, Part 7 here)
The final part of the Alcibiades I deals with the self and self-knowledge. Most ancient commentators held that this discussion is the core of the dialogue.
From Self-Cultivation to Self-Knowledge
Socrates has finally gotten Alcibiades to admit that he needs to pursue self-cultivation. But what is self-cultivation? We must answer that question lest we mistakenly cultivate something other than ourselves. (more…)

Charlottesville and the Death of Free Speech
Dissident Press, 2024
A number of books have already been written about the suppressed “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. I have already reviewed the excellent Charlottesville Untold by Anne Wilson Smith. Padraig Martin’s A Walk in the Park also enjoys a good reputation. (more…)

I was a modest, 20-year old television baby by 1972, and drifted on and off to the newly-minted network, PBS (Public Broadcasting Service). It had taken over in 1969 from NET (National Educational Television), and I found myself drawn to it, especially its drama. It’s hard to believe nowadays, but PBS in its early years actually aired American dramas that were free of English accents and upper-class angst. (more…)

Oswald Spengler was born on this day in 1880. For his contributions to the philosophy of history and culture, Spengler is one of the most important philosophical influences on the North American New Right, largely by way of his disciple Francis Parker Yockey. Spengler is often wrong, but even when he errs, he does so magnificently.
Spengler’s magnum opus is The Decline of the West, in two volumes (1918 and 1922). He also wrote three shorter books: Prussianism and Socialism (1919), Man and Technics (1931), and The Hour of Decision (1934). (more…)

In Britain, of course, this would have to be re-christened Dependence Day as, in line with all European states and globalist requirements, dependence is what the state wishes to see in its citizenry.
