The last week of the National Football League (NFL) season witnessed an outpouring of Christian faith. Players have never been shy about expressing their faith. They usually pray before games on the sidelines, triumphant quarterbacks will thank God in the sky after a touchdown, and victorious footballers love to credit God for why they won the game. But Week 18 saw an even more obvious display of faith. (more…)

Kanadsko-americká Národní hokejová liga (National Hockey League, NHL) je z drtivé většiny bělošská. V roce 2011 to bylo 93 % hráčů a dnes není toto číslo o mnoho nižší. Hraje v ní asi padesátka černochů, což je podle všeho skandálně málo. Liga potřebuje podstatně zapracovat na své rozmanitosti, alespoň tedy podle údajně pravicového listu Wall Street Journal.

Představitelé NHL s ním bohužel nadšeně souhlasí. (more…)

Canadian conservatives are a sad lot. They live in one of the most pozzed countries in the West — if not the most pozzed. Canada’s rulers aim to set new records for immigration every year, leading to the Great White North now accepting over 430,000 immigrants on an annual basis. (more…)

In his Counter Currents article from May 20, 2022, “What Christian Nationalism Looks Like in Current-Year America,” Robert Hampton casts a critical eye on Christian nationalism. His thesis:

[Identitarians] think [Christian nationalism is] an ideology that can easily be racialized and used to defend white people . . .

In reality, Christian nationalism is an evangelical, multiracial, philo-Semitic circus that repulses young middle-class people. (more…)

“Christian nationalism” has gotten a lot of attention over the past two years. It’s one of those things we’re told is a serious problem in our country. Christian nationalists are accused of a whole lot of bad things, from racism to threatening democracy. Books and articles are regularly published to document this menace and warn Americans of these dangerous extremists.

“Christian nationalism” effectively replaced “Alt Right” as the scary label for the Right. It is funny how that came to be, since many of these same people bemoaned the “post-Christian” Right brought forth by Donald Trump. (more…)

A common liberal argument against the pro-life movement is that it’s not truly pro-life. In the liberal imagination, “pro-life” means being for more government assistance and universal healthcare. Liberals claim conservatives want to punish single moms by forcing them to have children without any resources to raise them. A true pro-life society would ensure these women got all the help they allegedly need. (more…)

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will soon end Roe v. Wade, the famous 1973 case that made abortion legal throughout the United States. The new decision, revealed in an unprecedented leak from the high court this week, would not ban abortion; it would simply revoke the precedent that prevented states from banning the procedure. Abortion will still be legal for most Americans after the SCOTUS ruling. There’s even a chance the ruling won’t lead to any bans at all. (more…)

It seems that every ten years a “New Right” emerges in America. The National Review was seen as the “New Right” in the 1950s. There was a “New Right” in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan’s ascent. There have been many New Rights in Europe as well. (more…)

Nearly two years ago, your humble writer noted that Woodrow Wilson is one of the most hated presidents of all time. Older readers may recall a time when liberals loved the 28th President. They saw him as a progressive visionary who spread democratic values across the globe and made America better. Now, they just see him as another white supremacist who should be denied all public honors. (more…)

The Super Bowl always serves as a good barometer for American culture. It’s where ads seek to introduce upcoming blockbusters and “social progress.” Corporations made sure to start showing off gay couples in Super Bowl advertising in the mid-2010s. (more…)

Woodrow Wilson ještě ne tak dávno patřil k neochvějným hrdinům panteonu moderního progresivismu. Obamovští liberálové si 28. prezidenta Spojených států cenili pro jeho morální idealismus, velkorysý přístup k ústavním pravidlům i jeho víru v prospěšnost „velké vlády“. (more…)
