Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “The Barbarians Are Here, But There’s No Gate,” on the fact that Title 42, the law invoked by Donald Trump in 2020 to reduce immigration across the US-Mexico border in response to COVID, expired last week — and no one seems to have a plan to replace it. See below. (more…)

The United States is in the throes of another “border crisis,” a tiresome phrase which always refers to its southern border, because as annoyingly spiteful as Canadians can be, they don’t bring with them nearly the panoply of problems that Central Americans do. (more…)

Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in US History
New York & Nashville: Post Hill Press, 2023Many on the Left, especially liberals, are bedazzled by men who commit violence in the name of Left-wing social theories. One such man was a Dutch immigrant to the United States named Willem van Spronsen. Van Spronsen attacked an illegal immigrant detention facility in Tacoma, Washington on July 13, 2019 with Molotov cocktails and an AR-15 rifle — but not, as one might assume, as a protest against illegal migration.

American culture is still spinning wildly from the assassination of US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963 by a self-radicalized antifa gunman acting alone. American liberals and Leftist sympathizers in particular have had a tough time dealing with the murder. Kennedy’s widow later remarked that “[JFK] didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. It had to be some silly little Communist.”
Jacqueline Kennedy’s remarks perfectly sum up the snobbery and inability to read data that is essential to the mentality of JFK’s political base. Jacqueline Kennedy could have rightly pointed out that Kennedy died fighting Communism in the same way he’d valiantly lived fighting Communism. (more…)

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…)

Nut Country: Right-Wing Dallas and the Birth of the Southern Strategy
Chicago, Illinois: University of Chicago Press, 2015Edward H. Miller’s book Nut Country, about the rising Republican Party in Dallas in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is another academic book pointing to a certain place and point in time where the American far Right and mainstream Right first launched.

You’d think a story where an African-born but Texas-based serial killer posing as a maintenance man wriggled his way into old-age homes over the course of two years, smothered an estimated two dozen women to death, stole their jewelry, and sold it for cash would at least garner some interest.

The Supreme Court upheld Texas’ “Heartbeat” abortion law last week, setting off hysteria on the Left and exhilaration on the mainstream Right. It’s one of the major achievements of the pro-life movement and it could set up the end of Roe v. Wade. This does not end abortion in America, but it does allow individual states to effectively ban it. (more…)
