If Holden Caulfield did battle with the phonies, Howie Carr does it with hacks. Howie is a Boston journalist whose mischievous face is a combination of Jimmy Cagney and Mephistopheles, offering Irish bravado and tempting the reader, listener, or viewer — he’s done his act for all three — to see the facts and get angry. In Paper Boy, Howie’s memoir, there’s a lot to get angry about, but almost every page bristles with laugh-out-loud moments. (more…)

There’s no shortage of doom and gloom lately. With America’s nuclear launch codes in the hands of an incompetent crook suffering from dementia, there’s plenty of reason for concern. Many other world leaders are sucking up to some geezer in Davos who seems like a wannabe Bond villain, and there’s not much to love about that, either. (more…)

What’s going on here is that the West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path and the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked. — John Mearsheimer at a talk given on September 25, 2015 (more…)

“Reality”: the world or the state of things as they actually exist.
One succinct way to characterize the Western “democracies” is that they are, in all their various manifestations, anti-reality regimes. For starters, they are not really what they piously call themselves — “democracies” — in any accepted definition of the term. The governments of these countries are cabals of oligarchs who use political parties as fronts for advancing the interests of backroom, money-connected players. (more…)

Every few months or so, a mainstream news outlet rolls out another puff piece on “national conservatism,” Curtis Yarvin and Neoreaction, the “Dimes Square” scene, or the so-called “Intellectual Dark Web” (IDW). These subcultures have little in common apart from the fact that they are all vaguely Right-wing movements that evade the topic of race — and the media are keen to platform alternative political subcultures that do not address demographic displacement. Last year, Vanity Fair published a lengthy article on America’s “New Right” that discussed a range of Dissident Right figures and trends, but did not make a single mention of Counter-Currents or White Nationalism.

In all cases not involving a fully-fledged occupying army, as with Russia after its Civil War ended and with the United States currently, the hostile elites, be they native or alien, who wish to subjugate a population do so by achieving what I call the Stalin clap effect (SCE). This is named after the Soviet dictator’s unwritten policy, as reported by Solzhenitsyn, of sending the first person to stop clapping after one of his speeches to the Gulag: (more…)

All the world’s a stage. — William Shakespeare, As You Like It
This is not journalism, it’s performance art. — FOX News contributor Kat Timpf on pre-approved questions at a Biden press conference
In the old days of print journalism, the importance of a story was not measured in retweets, trending, uploads, shares, likes, or views, but rather in “column inches.” This is self-explanatory, but is also indicative of the fact that journalistic coverage in the print era was a zero-sum game. That is, the more column inches are devoted to story A, the fewer there are available for story B. (more…)

Cannon Hinnant, one of the many victims of non-white violence against white children that the media and the establishment would rather you forget.

If I wanted to destroy a functional society — the sort that white Europeans have built and maintained for millennia — upending the family and harming children would be a high priority. Attacking a society’s children is far easier than other groups and offers significant benefits to those wishing harm. If you can get children to turn on their families ideologically, you can likely get them to do anything you want as they mature. Thus, if I wanted to sever the roots of a people and mold them into obedient serfs, I would start by attacking the children. (more…)

In the summer of 2019, I ran into Tucker Carlson in the Delta terminal at Kennedy Airport in New York. I was waiting for a flight to DC and had just finished lunch at one of those places where you order at the table from an electronic menu. Just as I was about to leave, Tucker walked in and sat down quite near me. There was no mistaking who he was — he looked exactly like he does on TV, only he was wearing a red flannel lumberjack shirt. And he was alone. (more…)
