Aging well is one of the best signs of how inspired a movie is—especially for comedies. To make audiences laugh the filmmakers must share certain frames of reference with them—things against which other things can go splat, so to speak. Since frames of reference change over time, making lasting comedies often requires finding the right frames of reference. (more…)

To be honest, it was really more of a panel discussion.
James is touring New Zealand with the Free Speech Union, speaking at events in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. I’m a former Free Speech Union employee and have made critical comments on social media about James’ use of the term “woke right”. (more…)

In 2020, the anti-racists came for Flannery O’Connor. Paul Elie led the charge in an article for The New Yorker, the online version of which was entitled “How Racist Was Flannery O’Connor?”[1] Elie’s answer was: pretty racist. (more…)

International Blancophobia Month (ie. every month)
With the trial of Axel Rudakubana taking center-stage this month, only one thing was certain: the government would use the distraction to smuggle through as much anti-white legislation as it could fit on the statute books. For that is what it is.
The British have been so deeply indoctrinated into believing that the promotion of one’s own white ethnicity is the lowest circle of racism that they still can’t face the monster. (more…)

The left is entering a time of realignment. Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris is a major alarm call that something is wrong with the formula progressive elites have used to reliably sell their package to voters for decades. And it’s not just the US. Throughout the Western world, there is a rising tide of populism. (more…)

I joined the United States Marine Corps a little under 3 weeks after 9/11. I had planned to join anyways but the attacks sealed the deal as far as motivation goes. Looking back, even with the benefit of hindsight I still feel like overall I did the right thing for the right reasons.

Policy 4: Reimagining Higher Education
By “reimagine” I mean an extreme makeover with a wrecking ball, not token reforms. Higher education is a chief citadel of the left. In fact, academia working in tandem with the media is what constitutes Curtis Yarvin’s “Cathedral” of elite power. (more…)

The delusion that one can “transition” to another gender has been a scourge on public sanity and a bitch-slap in the face of reality for what seems like forever. But it hasn’t been very long at all.
Transgenderism is based on the flawed idea that one can cleanly sever “sex” (a biological fact) from “gender” (a construct rooted in that biological fact) and toss it in the wastebasket like an unwanted appendage. (more…)

If Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the armed forces was so crucial, references to its importance should be everywhere in the work of military theorists, historians, and soldiers from the past, right? I mean how could it be that Carl von Clausewitz missed the inherent value of having 400-pound transgender gorillas in the ranks? (more…)

Starmer’s (Third) World Tour
Sir Keir Starmer must have had mixed emotions when looking at his recent approval ratings in the opinion of the Great British public. On the one hand, he is polling at about the same level as Nicolae Ceauşescu was when the Romanian army took him and his wife out onto waste ground and shot them against a wall on Christmas Day, 1989, at the climax of the Romanian Revolution.

It’s quite obvious that the leftist mainstream media is a big clown show. As for the mainstream conservative media, which generally includes subsidiaries of the News Corp conglomerate, it’s a mixed bag. There are two ways to look at them. (more…)

Woke Eugenics: How Social Justice is a Mask for Social Darwinism
Imperium Press, 2024The progressive left—social justice warriors, the “woke,” or whatever one wishes to call them—imagine that they are creating a new world free of racism and oppression. Their opponents think they are destroying all that is good and decent: respect for God, tradition, history, beauty, and even rationality. But the effects of men’s actions often bear little resemblance to what they intend. (more…)
