As the Left’s gaslighting campaign over what motivated Charlie Kirk’s murderer was still in full swing, yet another politically-motivated shooting shocked the country. It’s time we faced reality about how young men are being raised these days.

Can the Left Be Redeemed After Charlie Kirk’s Murder?
I got into an argument with a random person on X (where I lately spend too much of my time, I regret to admit) after having the audacity to “partly agree” with Glenn Greenwald’s take on the awful murder of Charlie Kirk. I did point out in my reply that Greenwald’s equating the Right and Left doesn’t quite pass muster — but the word “partly” set off my hot-headed interlocutor regardless.

I’m too lazy to write a proper post today after a long week of work, tweeting, and paying way more attention to the elections than was good for my mental health. I’ll have more to say about Tuesday’s elections in the next coming weeks. Instead, allow me to embed and quote my tweet regarding a different piece of news, being that Jews were being targeted and beaten up by Muslim immigrants in Amsterdam last night.
My Case For Trump
A while back, some anonymous troll on X attempted to “roast” me for writing on January 7, 2021 that “Donald Trump has every right to be bitter and resentful.” He lifted a screenshot with those words from this piece and argued that, therefore, “your opinion has no value.” It’s a peculiar person indeed who distills this single sentence from a 1,200-word article absolutely scathing Trump for his actions the day before. Bad actors will never cease cherry-picking their way through our writings.
Continue readingLet’s Cut Spending And Start Paying Down Our Debt
You know we live in wretched times when during the entirety of the current presidential election cycle our national debt, which is after all approaching 36 trillion dollars as of this writing, gets nary a mention from the two candidates vying for the job. The media, too, seem wholly disinterested.
Continue readingThe “Manchurian” Candidate
I dislike imprecise analogies. But there’s something profoundly disturbing about the Kamala Harris presidential candidacy.

While the U.S. is gearing up for the final stretch towards Election Day, a terrorist incident in the Netherlands last week underscored the need for a serious reduction of mass immigration on both sides of the Atlantic. In yet another of the now infamous “lone wolf” knife attacks haunting the Old Continent, a 22-year-old man started stabbing random people with two large knives shortly after 8PM on Thursday, killing one and wounding another. As is the norm these days, the media, and the Dutch public at large, just shrugged their shoulders and moved on.
Continue readingAbout Cats, Dogs, Ducks, and Haitians
Trump clearly underperformed in this week’s debate, a view already expressed by yours truly on X during the event. That said, one topic in particular stood out as the sole exception, and that’s the issue of Trump accusing Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio of eating the locals’ pets there.
Continue readingRenewal
It’s time to revive this blog again after three years of inactivity. A lot has happened, and I’d wager much of it already predicted, or at least hinted at, right here. Riots in the United Kingdom, Israel’s own ‘9/11’ on 10/7, the contemptible antisemitic protests throughout much of the West in 10/7’s wake, the implosion of the Biden presidency and resurrection of Donald Trump, and too much to mention. Where will I even start?
I’ll be posting more shortly.
Serious Consequences for Unserious People
The way the world ends, T.S. Eliot reminds us, is “Not with a bang but a whimper.” But our country’s seeming slide into the abyss is starting to feel like a roller coaster ride, if not one where the passengers end up safely back at the loading station.

EDIT: Shame on Amazon.com for deleting this review from its listing for this book. I realize I pull no punches, but I would argue my review is thoughtful and substantiated by solid arguments, unlike some of the 1-star drivel under books by right-wing authors.
Why is it that the Woke aimed to reduce six works of Dr. Seuss, known primarily as the author and illustrator of an enormous number of wonderfully whimsical and educational children’s books, to toxic contraband due to alleged racism within these stories, written three quarters of a century ago?

Reading about Antifa, its modi operandi, its motives, and its insidious influences on our Western societies has been a long-time pre-occupation of yours truly. Growing up in Western Europe there was never any shortage of developments surrounding this topic. But, notwithstanding its dangers back there and then, Antifa’s European activities at the time couldn’t hold a candle to what happened in the United States in 2020.
