If you’re old enough to remember your teacher threading film from a small reel into a projector about the size of a sewing machine, chances are that you’ve seen a few social guidance films. You might remember the deep and authoritative voice-overs which often narrated these flicks. (more…)

The recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II is a sad occasion. It’s comforting that she lived to an advanced age, however. Moreover, she remained physically able, kept her wits about her, and the end was peaceful and not prolonged. Fate was kind to her in that regard. Of course, she lived a remarkably charmed existence in general. (more…)

At the beginning of the month, I saw a video about a lady who got a bidet, boasting that her toilet paper consumption was merely a quarter of what it used to be. “Why, that’s nothing!” I reflected to my girlfriend, who was playing the video showing that America already has a Bidet installed in Washington. For additive crotch-cleansing power, he doubles as a douchebag. At six feet tall, he’s a very large douchebag indeed. (more…)

The 2011 film Contagion is truly a movie for our times, especially now. It’s quite peculiar how the battle against infectious disease, ongoing for a century and a half, suffered a staggering setback in merely two years. For posterity’s sake, I’ll digress a bit about the present historical context in this rapidly-changing situation. (more…)

Run away! Run away! Since the late 1950s, this has been the go-to strategy for residents of certain neighborhoods. These locations experienced demographic transformations which happened to coincide with the beginning of adverse trends among a constellation of socioeconomic indices which — well, you know what I mean.

In a most unlikely development, the legendary sport of quidditch caused a minor ripple in the press a couple weeks ago. I’m not making this up; it’s has been covered by Deadline, NPC News, and several other media outlets. Maybe it was a slow news day, even with the world coming apart? In any event, there’s a deeper lesson to this that perhaps the reporters themselves didn’t discern, a sober reminder that ingratitude is an ugly thing indeed. (more…)

Heinz Hermann Weichardt was born to a German father and a Jewish mother and spent his young adulthood in the Third Reich. In in his February 1995 memoir Under Two Flags, he gave a concise but very revealing account of his tribulations as a Mischling in the first degree. (more…)

What about the Freemasons?
This is where I describe groups often cited as participants in the more conspiratorial aspects of globalism. Feel free to skip straight down to the comments section to throw rocks at me for saying too much or too little about your favorite cabal. (more…)
You’ve got to hand it to this hipster. The slogan is even better than “Nuke the gay whales for Jesus.”

What are the political dimensions of globalism?
There are various possible implementations of globalism. A Rightist version would be straight up imperialism, but on a worldwide scale. Military conquest of the entire planet hasn’t been attempted, despite what you might’ve heard from certain feverish wartime propaganda that still keeps getting dredged up after eight decades.
From the far Left, Communism has some rather obvious globalist dimensions. (more…)

Recently I had a lucky find: the article “Suburban Chicago High School District To Implement Race-Based Grading By 2023” hosted on GOPUSA. It was signal-boosted from an Accuracy In Media piece by John Ransom. (more…)

It’s Gay Pride Month, and I’m casting about for ways to celebrate this awesome event. Even as early as three years ago, I observed shampoo and mouthwash coming out of the closet at Target stores. Yes, really! And now that Burger King Whoppers are turning fruity, that really got my attention. Fast food without sociopolitical messages is way too twentieth century, after all; it’s the Current Year! Fine, I’ll get with the times already! What better way to commemorate the joys of same-sex attraction than with a movie review? (more…)
