“I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.”

Those rancid words slithered out of Nathan Clark’s lips last Tuesday evening as he spoke at a City Commission Meeting in Springfield, OH. The stubby-looking father of a recently deceased son expressed this foul sentiment barely an hour before Donald Trump put Springfield on the map with his debate comments about Haitian migrants “eating the pets of people that live there.”

While the nation has been engulfed in controversy for more than a week about whether wild-eyed and purple-gummed migrants are chowing down on people’s pets in Springfield, OH, this ghastly statement by a white Springfield resident whose 11-year-old son was killed by an unlicensed Haitian driver has escaped notice.

On August 15, Donald Trump made the following statement about immigration and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at a press conference:

“. . . [W]e’re going to close the border and get the crooked ones out, the bad ones out. And we’re gonna let a lot of people come in. Because we need more people.

In “They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To,” Angelo Plume’s paean to the film First Knight, he gives us a blow-by-blow account of the film, lamenting that such films don’t get made anymore.  Sad but true for the West. After reading the review, I had my Saturday night pizza, popped open a beer (Sam Adams), and dug into my archives to watch King Arthur, the 2004 film about the once and future king; decidedly different than First Knight, but it has its own flavor and goes very good with popcorn . . . and mead.

A phrase which originates with the alchemical writers of the late Middle Ages is a prediction which has probably come true at least once for any reader: “One book opens another.” A book which has an above-average chance of doing just that is The Cambridge Modern History. (more…)

I have contemplated writing about this for a while now. “What’s the point?” I thought to myself. “We all know the drill.” But it continues to rankle. Which, I guess, was exactly the purpose. (more…)

It’s quite obvious that the leftist mainstream media is a big clown show. As for the mainstream conservative media, which generally includes subsidiaries of the News Corp conglomerate, it’s a mixed bag. There are two ways to look at them. (more…)

Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.

In order for white Europeans to finally escape the hole they have dug for themselves, they must reevaluate the Second World War. This was the war in which Europe was conquered by the forces of liberal democracy coming from the west, and the forces of communism coming from east—two sides of the same globalist coin. (more…)

When I was young, I saw most of Woody Allen’s early movies in bits and pieces on television: Sleeper, Bananas, Annie Hall, Love and Death, etc. There were funny bits, but mostly I found them vulgar and stupid. And Woody Allen himself was repulsive. “What a nerd,” I thought. “Won’t this guy shut up?” I wondered. “What’s wrong with this guy?” (more…)

This is a rush-job article regarding an alleged event that technically happened outside of last week’s temporal constraints.

I’d been fixin’ to do a deep dive into the long processes of political, economic, and demographic changes that turned Springfield, OH—which during last week’s presidential debate became Ground Zero for accusations about Haitian migrants eating house pets (more…)
