I made a resolution several months ago that I would, to the best of my abilities, write mostly about positive, constructive things. “Mostly,” because there will always be not-so-positive things worth writing about. But I would like my main focus to be on uplifting topics and ideas, not on those that drag us down. There’s plenty of that going around.
I believe in the power of thought, whether you understand it in a self-help sort of way (“manifest your intentions”), or, like me, in a spiritual sense. If you only ever define yourself by what you are against, not what you are for, you will never be able to create. (more…)

If there is a novelist whose work needs a revival, it’s Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. And if there is any novel of his which deserves being revived, it’s Hamsun’s 1917 classic Growth of the Soil.

Raw Egg Nationalist
The Eggs Benedict Option
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2022
An anonymous Twitter character going by the name of Raw Egg Nationalist has released a new book which is outselling globalist literature on Amazon. Unlike his earlier work, this is not a cookbook and has nothing to do with historical bodybuilders.

The American Farmer in the Eighteenth Century
New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2018

The new COVID stimulus bill excludes white men from important government subsidies. There’s a farm aid provision that offers debt forgiveness exclusively to “socially disadvantaged” minority farmers — whites need not apply. There’s also restaurant aid that prioritizes woman- and minority-owned businesses; white men have to wait in the back of the line for assistance. (more…)

Much of the tremendous value of Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together rests in how it was written completely without rancor. Only a highly cynical or unreasonable person could call it anti-Semitic — that is, a work that professes animosity or anger towards Jews as a people. (more…)
