It’s often frightful to contemplate how things that were wrong in the past, when the country was still in halfway normal conditions, became much worse lately. By golly, when I was knee high to a cricket, hard drugs meant speed pills, dumb dust, and heroin. Nowadays, as young whippersnappers well know, it’s meth, crack, and fentanyl. Why, they even got horse tranquilizer in Philly that turns you into zombie! (more…)

The state of Minnesota formed an important part of my life. The memories remain close to my heart. I recall an orderly, clean, well-kept place, a charmed land indeed. The summer is quite mild, quite unlike Utah’s typical scorching conditions. (more…)

The fatal shooting of anti-ICE activist Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month provides an excellent focal point to demonstrate the stark difference between the Left and Right in today’s politics. The primary points of contention here are whether the shooting was justified and whether Ms. Good deserves sympathy. Answering such questions will reveal a lot about a person, and will aid quite handily in determining friends and enemies.

Basically, if you believe the shooting was justified and you are unsympathetic to the fate of the late Ms. Good, then you’re most likely on the Right. If you believe the shooting was unjustified and you sympathize with Ms. Good, then you’re probably on the Left. (more…)

In response to massive and systematic Somali organized crime in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, President Trump sent a large task force to beef up immigration enforcement. In addition to DHS, FBI, and IRS agents conducting door-to-door raids on Somali-owned businesses in Minneapolis, ICE was also out in force.

On January 7, an ICE agent shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. This is what we know about the situation so far. (more…)

The classic question to ask a leftist true believer is “How much progress is too much progress?” In other words, at what point would today’s radical iconoclast turn into tomorrow’s stodgy reactionary? While important regarding the nature of today’s politics, this question is essentially beside the point, since whoever would answer it honestly likely has little control over the ebbs and flows of history.

Beating Up White Kids and Filming It

Despite the sickly-sweet rainbow-colored lollipops they’ve been trying to sell us for generations now, racial violence will be a factor in any multiracial society — especially when that multiracial society endlessly posits these groups as warring tribes with unsettled historical grievances. Until everyone decides to assimilate and breed into one indistinguishably cross-blurred and hybridized mess — i.e., never — there will be racial conflict and racial hierarchies, with much of the pecking order decided by who controls street violence.

Little Crow was the leader of the Sioux during the 1862 Dakota War. He went to war because imprudent men had called him a coward. He had no grand strategy or clearly defined war aims. His actions initiated a series of Indian wars which would not end until 1890.

Wilmot Robertson wrote that “[t]he decline of the American Majority began with the political and military struggle between North and South.” This is indeed true. That conflict turned family members into bitter enemies and provided openings for non-American groups such as Jews and other foreign peoples to hijack the country. (more…)

Post-Teenaged Man Charged With Shooting at White Family Whose Basketball Rolled Into His Yard

Since it is now standard journalistic practice to refer to rampaging black criminals as “teens,” a recent story from North Carolina requires me to refer to a 24-year-old black male accused of attempted murder as a “post-teenaged man.”

Last week’s news cycle was dominated by the saga of a black teen who was shot by an 84-year-old white man after ringing the wrong doorbell. (more…)

National divorce is the natural consequence of America’s highly politicized culture. Cable news channels routinely feature the term “civil war.” Average Americans divide along political lines in their personal and social lives, and nowhere is this more pronounced than on college campuses. America’s internal divisions are here to stay. (more…)

Until very recently, Minnesota loomed in the public imagination as a state that was so white, you could almost go snow-blind merely looking at it on a map. Possibly due to its dark and endless winters, it has been a magnet for Scandinavians immigrating to America since the 1850s. (more…)
