Right before the stroke of midnight on Friday, January 12, a young, homeless Hispanic man named Francisco Garcia attempted to cross San Fernando Road in a dilapidated and unincorporated sector of Los Angeles County called Pacoima. It would be the last street he ever tried to cross.
Garcia was first knocked to the ground by a light-colored pickup truck traveling the wrong way in the northbound lanes. The driver did not stop. (more…)

I remember what air travel was like in the dark and moldy days before social progress. Back then, you could board your plane without being forced to arrive at the airport two hours before flight time and to wade glumly through labyrinthine lines where grumpy black TSA agents tore through your baggage and you had to raise your hands over your head like a criminal suspect as federal machines scanned your body to see if you’d hidden guns or drugs under your nuts.

An Army of Color: Whites Became a Minority of US Recruits in 2023
Henry Kissinger said in 1973 that “military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used” as the sacrificial lambs of American foreign policy. It’s a wonder that no one killed him for saying that. (more…)

Black Americans Ring in the New Year (They Also Shoot in, Stab in, Punch in, Kick in, Leap in, and Kidnap in the New Year)
I’ve never consulted a black American to see if they make New Year’s resolutions. Come to think of it, I’ve never asked a black American to pronounce the word “resolutions.” (more…)

Now that we’ve taken off our holiday party masks and furtively tiptoed into 2024, the presidential election looms only ten months away.
I find myself violently uninterested in the whole sorry affair. I can’t recall a time in my life when I cared less about the candidates or the outcome.
It wasn’t always this way.
I was barely out of diapers when Lyndon Johnson thrashed Barry Goldwater in 1964, so I can’t be faulted for not doing my civic duty and paying attention to that election. (more…)

When it comes to their ability to disappoint me, people never disappoint me. One of the biggest compliments I can give someone is “You never annoyed me,” but it’s a compliment I use sparingly — perhaps once a year.
Although I’ve skipped a year here and there, this “Most Annoying People” listicle is a tradition I started ten years ago when writing for another site. Last year for Counter-Currents I wrote about “The 22 Worst Things About 2022,” but this year I’m shifting the focus back to annoying people. (more…)

Hearing that a black man who stands accused of stabbing two teenage girls in New York’s Grand Central Terminal on Christmas morning told arresting officers “I want all the white people dead” sounds depressingly familiar — at least if you’re white and don’t have a death wish.
Both girls were released from the hospital with minor injuries. The secret Yuletide surprise is that two major New York newspapers are using the term “anti-white” in their coverage of the incident. (more…)
