If there is any person in today’s news cycle who deserves our stunned appreciation, it is Kathleen Casillo. Her story is fairly simple, but one that is uniquely demonstrative of the degenerate nature of our times. On December 11, 2020, she was driving with her 29-year-old daughter in New York City, where she encountered a Black Lives Matter protest — or rather I should write “protest,” because BLM apparently wasn’t protesting so much as blocking traffic and terrorizing white drivers.

Illegal Aliens Get Tossed from State to State Like Hot Potatoes Because No One Likes Illegal Aliens

The phrase “not in my backyard” — represented with the acronym NIMBY — refers to the time-tested tendency of superficially progressive rich people to demand that the social compassion they so loudly champion is doled out at someone else’s expense. They fetishize the very idea of the downtrodden so long as the downtrodden don’t dare tread anywhere near their lawns. (more…)

The expression “Punch a Nazi” originated in early 2017 when then White Nationalist figurehead Richard Spencer was sucker-punched by some cowardly antifa goon while giving an interview. For many months after, the Left crowed about all the glory that comes with punching Nazis while fretting ever so slightly about things such as free speech and freedom of assembly. (more…)

On Monday, New York City’s Emergency Management agency released a short video (linked below) intended to advise residents on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. The video rattled some, who questioned why it was being released now.

An article emerged on April 14, “Man, 20, charged with hate crimes in attack on 2 Sikh men in NYC,” by Marlene Lenthang and Sakshi Venkatraman. This was picked up by MSN, Yahoo! News, and some other outlets. It begins describing an attack on two victims, ages 76 and 64:

A man has been charged with hate crimes after two Sikh men were assaulted, robbed and had their turbans ripped off in Queens, New York, this week. (more…)

The Yuppie Handbook‘s cover illustration is brimming with nostalgia. The tawdry insides are brimming with dreck.

Has it really been 40 years since The Yuppie Handbook? No, its copyright page says it came out January 1, 1984. But the book was so drenched in early-‘80s sensibility that it was already looking dated on its publication date.

I had a bad feeling as Saturday began. Nick Fuentes had planned two anti-vax rallies in Manhattan. His anti-vax rally on Staten Island three days prior had gone swimmingly, but there were reasons to feel pessimistic about the Manhattan ones. (more…)

In the 1946 movie Humoresque, Joan Crawford describes John Garfield as “that rare animal, a New Yorker from New York.” It’s long been a joke that no one is actually from New York; you’re either an immigrant or you arrived in New York as a starry-eyed kid from the Midwest seeking big-city adventure.

Driving with my father one day, we passed an imposing building, the Cornwall headquarters of the Orange Lodge, the Grand Order of British North America. “What’s that, papa?” I asked.

“Oxford’s Black Panther” Shot in the Head By a Black Man

Sasha Johnson is a 27-year-old black woman who is fortunate enough to be living in England rather than the Congo but is too ungrateful to realize it. With her revolutionary sunglasses and revolutionary beret and revolutionary black power fist, she looks like someone that Hollywood nerd Quentin Tarantino would cast whenever he finally decides to do a cinematic homage to the Black Panthers sixty years too late.
