Lee Harvey Oswald holding the rifle he would use to assassinate JFK and the pistol he would use to murder Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit. He is holding two Communist publications called The Militant and The Worker.[1]

American culture is still spinning wildly from the assassination of US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963 by a self-radicalized antifa gunman acting alone. American liberals and Leftist sympathizers in particular have had a tough time dealing with the murder. Kennedy’s widow later remarked that “[JFK] didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. It had to be some silly little Communist.”

Jacqueline Kennedy’s remarks perfectly sum up the snobbery and inability to read data that is essential to the mentality of JFK’s political base. Jacqueline Kennedy could have rightly pointed out that Kennedy died fighting Communism in the same way he’d valiantly lived fighting Communism. (more…)

Most classical liberal thinking, which is still ultimately liberal and thus subversive, is based on the idea of the Lockean social contract. But what if the idea of a social contract is a complete farce? Given that classical liberalism underpins much of lukewarm conservatism, if we knock out the idea of social contracts, we also knock out conservatism. (more…)

أبيجيل شرير
ضرر لا رجوع فيه: جنون التحول الجنسي يغوي بناتنا
نيويورك: دار ريجنيري للنشر، 2020

انتشر وباء في الآونة الأخيرة للفتيات المراهقات اللائي يعلنن أنهن مصابات بخلل في الهوية الجنسية وأنهن يصبحن “متحولات”. من المنظور الليبرالي الأبيض اللطيف، قد يبدو أن هذا هو الحاجز الذي كسره جنود “الحقوق المدنية”، لكن أبيجيل شرير تقول في كتابها الممتاز، “ضرر لا رجوع فيه”، إنه ليس كذلك. وبدلاً من ذلك، تجادل بأن الفتيات المراهقات اللائي يصبن بخلل في الهوية الجنسية ما هو إلا تطور جديد لظاهرة قديمة ومعروفة. يمكن للمرء أن يطلق على هذه الظاهرة بدعة (more…)

Abigail Shrier
Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
New York: Regnery Publishing, 2020

There has recently been an epidemic of teen girls declaring that they have gender dysphoria and becoming “trans.” From the nice, white liberal perspective, this may appear to be a barrier broken by the foot soldiers of “civil rights,” but Abigail Shrier says in her excellent book, Irreversible Damage, that it is not. She instead argues that teen girls getting gender dysphoria is only a new twist to an old, well-known phenomenon. (more…)

There’s been a lot going on in the world. The last few years have been a very bumpy ride, and with no signs of abating. Lately, the illegitimate occupant of the White House rapidly undid three and a half decades of progress toward détente with Russia and reignited the Cold War. We have lots of other fine messes, of course: inflation the highest since the Carter Quarters days, turbulence in the stock market, soaring fuel prices, and so forth. A food shortage may possibly be the next engineered crisis. None of that is going to matter much if the mentally incompetent Resident Bidet gets the bright idea to push the Big Red Button, however.

Phyllis Schlafly
A Choice Not an Echo
Alton, Ill.: Pere Marquette Press, 1964

Many of the greatest pioneers of Right-wing political thought in the United States are women. Right-leaning men are often too busy with their jobs and putting out the fires to be prophets. Female activists, for their part, have a remarkable ability to challenge and change the direction of institutions. One such woman was Phyllis Schlafly (1924-2016). (more…)

Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth Wright spent much of his tenure picking at the scabs of “racism.” His statements didn’t end racial conflicts in the military, but exacerbated them. His appointment to high office guarantees that no battalion in the US military can be trusted to suppress an African race riot.

By 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had become unstable. The full story of how it got that way is beyond the scope of this article, but to put it simply, after 1867 the Hungarians gained control of parts of the Empire where there were not many Hungarians. This situation was greatly resented by the locals in the areas they controlled.

Today, the United States is likewise unstable. The lion’s share of what caused this instability is the minority sub-Saharan African population, which has an outsized role in influencing institutions and society. One can call this paradigm the “civil rights” regime. (more…)
