Biden is out. Trump is in. Is that a good thing for those of us who wonder if we were awake for the last four years or in an extended nightmare populated by a rogues’ gallery of psychopaths, racketeers, grafters, swindlers, weirdos and sundry lowlifes? (more…)

Anyone who can sing, dance, or act is simultaneously gifted with tremendous wisdom concerning geopolitics, economics, and political science. Well, that’s what they seem to think, anyway. Predictably, the moment the election didn’t go their way, lefty celebs have been howling like they’re undergoing an exorcism. Why so blue? (more…)

When George Orwell arrived in Aragon to fight against Franco in 1937, it wasn’t the poor state of the weaponry that worried him, and it wasn’t the enemy. As chronicled in Homage to Catalonia, he was more alarmed at the number of factional squabbles there were on his side. In-fighting in the face of the enemy similarly afflicts the political Right today, and the call to “unite the Right” is a forlorn cry in the wilderness. (more…)
