African Ingenuity: Grave-Robbers in Sierra Leone Grind Up Human Bones and Roll Them Into Joints

Black people invented everything, including the IQ test, but as everyone knows, white supremacists stole and buried the original IQ test that blacks invented, because it’s the only one where blacks scored higher than everyone else.

Still, black genius refuses to be suppressed, especially in places where black people flourish such as the tiny West African nation of Sierra Leone, which resembles a landfill with black people crawling atop it. (more…)

Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “Keith Olbermann Is a Deeply Unhappy Man,” on why TV commentator Keith Olbermann, like many of his ilk among the woke crowd, seems like a deeply unhappy man. (more…)

A long time ago, when society was far happier and vastly more functional, a basic rule of etiquette dictated that one should “never discuss religion or politics in polite company.” But these days, the fact that hardly anyone can shut the fuck up about politics for five minutes means that there is no such thing as “polite company” anymore. Today, the only joy most people seem to get is from imagining their ideological opponents writhing in pain. (more…)

All new Star Wars stories, like the denizens of a vast coral reef, need to inhabit nooks and crannies in the universe and narrative created by George Lucas. But there are better and worse ways to do this.

Disney has produced two kinds of Star Wars products: new and original stories and cynical, safe, nostalgic remakes. Four out of five of Disney’s Star Wars movies fell into the safe and cynical camp. (See my reviews of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, and Solo.) (more…)

Each year, Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance names a “White Renegade of the Year,” a tradition begun by Wilmot Robertson’s Instauration. The white renegade of the year is someone who could have used his position to help whites but instead chose to do the opposite. In the same spirit, Counter-Currents is inaugurating a “Non-White Ally of the Year” series, to recognize non-whites who have used their position to help whites.

In 2022, Kanye West — whose popularity and reach came as quite a shock to me — received enormous coverage for wearing a White Lives Matter t-shirt. (more…)

If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of Spring

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.–1st Corinthians, 13:11

One at times has to marvel at the hordes on the Left. They cling tenaciously to adolescence; never do they grow up and come to terms with reality. (more…)

Whenever the self-proclaimed “progressives” lose a power play they suddenly experience a collective sphincter muscle collapse and react as if they’re teetering on the brink of an apocalypse, as was in stark evidence after Donald Trump derailed Hillary Clinton’s “The Corruption Express” headed for the White House Station. The Hollywood idiots, of course, were apoplectic. The outpouring and duration of mass hysteria in the aftermath of the 2016 election were unprecedented.

We’re still feeling the aftershock (more…)

The Nazi canard is still alive and stronger than ever in the post-Trump era. Even since Donald Trump came down the escalator, his many enemies have cried that his movement is the modern-day NSDAP. Much of this owes to Americans’ only historical reference being World War II. The other factor is that there exists no greater evil to the contemporary westerner than the Nazis. Not even Satan can compare.

As the sickly, suicide-grey rays of a frosty autumn Sunday mornin’ in Georgia wriggle through my imitation-wood Venetian blinds, I pause to reflect how much the Hunter Biden saga reminds me of Robert Redford’s Oscar-winning 1980 dysfunctional-family drama Ordinary People, which was based on a novel by Judith Guest, whom I’m going to assume is Jewish without even bothering to check.

Recently, the New York Times’s former book reviewer Michiko Kakutani treated us to a 3,000-word summary of everything that’s wrong with American life and politics, entitled “The End of Normal” (December 29, 2019).

At least, the column is attributed to Ms. Kakutani, and carries her byline. Actually this farrago of nonsense looks like something a committee of ghosts might produce (more…)
