Even though the metaphoric passenger airliner of Western civilization is plummeting at speed towards its ultimate destruction on the craggy peaks of the multi-cult, it’s disconcerting to look around at our fellow passengers who are completely oblivious. There are those who have assumed the crash position, calm as Hindu cows. And there are still others who are raging against the decline like irate anti-heroes who want their last single serving half-and-half cream added to their bitter coffee of entitlement before they’re obliterated.

The Liberal Media Industrial Complex
The Resistance Manifesto, 2019

Fellow travelers on the Right should be cherished. They may have inexplicable beliefs or regrettable habits, but that’s okay. If they’re willing to tolerate you, then that tolerance should be reciprocated and appreciated. (more…)

Doug Emhoff, AKA “Mr. Kamala Harris.” Offical White House Photo

Since most voters are so dumb it’s a miracle that they can even fill out their ballot, and since they wouldn’t understand the issues even if politicians were honest about them, most presidential campaigns amount to little more than flagrantly deceptive PR blitzes. From now until November 5, both parties’ marketing gurus will struggle to make the candidates and their families “relatable” and “likeable.” (more…)

To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in God’s lottery. It’s a phrase often misattributed to Dr. Johnson or Rudyard Kipling, but in fact it was Sir Cecil Rhodes, the English mining magnate who discovered and lent his name to an African territory, Rhodesia, before that nation became Zimbabwe in 1980. As is so often the case when whites are no longer in charge of black people, Zimbabwe went rapidly downhill, with societal breakdown followed by hyper-inflation. At one time, there was a billion-dollar banknote in Zimbabwe. (more…)

Implementation of the “Southern Strategy” by Republicans to win over disaffected white voters (particularly in the South) is the most underappreciated historical event in American history. This was when the parties “switched”, defining our current political status quo. Essentially, the Southern Strategy emerged when Republican strategists realized that focusing on the resistance of white voters to desegregation and racial entitlements for non-whites could secure them the South and thus a route to electoral victory in presidential contests.

In a previous essay, I looked at the shaping of an Italian national identity within the early Roman Empire, and argued, contra modern scholars, that an ethnic Italian identity based on shared ancestry was well developed within the Roman Empire, and remained a source of pride throughout its existence.

The presence of this kind of primordial nationalism in pre-modern empires seriously undermines the claims made by the modernist school of thought in the sociology of nationalism, which is treated as orthodoxy in many sociological departments in the West. (more…)

Enough people on the real right demonize people on the left. Some see the comprehensive left-Cathedral conspiracy (a conspiracy of universities, media, corporations, and high politics). Some people describe a leftist “long march through the institutions” to explain the cultural dominance of the left in real politics. But a lot of things on the left work because of interpersonal relationships, shared ideology, idealism, but also lack of self-awareness, cowardice, psychological problems, psychological blackmail, fear, and the desire for profit.

Elizabeth Dias & Lisa Lerer
The End of Roe: The Rise of a New America
Flatiron Books, 2024

A political and social movement which lives by the Supreme Court of the United States will die by the Supreme Court of the United States. New York Times reporters Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer have written an excellent, page turning book about the abortion rights movement, which lived by Roe v. Wade (1973) and perished by Dobbs v. Jackson (2022). (more…)

Ryan T. Anderson
When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment
Encounter, 2018

With the menace of transgenderism becoming ever more aggressive, this author was obliged to finally acquire and read When Harry Became Sally by Ryan T. Anderson. Very much in the mainstream, Anderson describes himself as a religious conservative, while having ties with the Heritage Foundation and other well-heeled Conservative, Inc institutions. GLADD has written a profile about him on its website. While the language used to describe him would seem rather innocuous from the perspective of most, it can only be regarded as disparaging from the skewed perspective of LGBTQ YUCK. (more…)

A new film directed by Thomas Napper, Widow Clicquot, is a period piece that avoids guns, histrionics, spectacle and passion. Well, not exactly avoiding passion, but depicting passion with wine, land, and production. (more…)
