What Killed Charlie Kirk?
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.

The Dutch (Or “Dutch”) Became World News Yesterday
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…

Renewal
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…

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.

Downfall
Let’s get the following three disclaimers out of the way. #1: Yours truly would have crawled over broken glass to vote for Donald Trump in November twenty-five times had the law permitted it. If the clock could be dialed back two months, I’d do it all over again, and the barrel of a gun on…

No, Trump Won’t Bring About Authoritarianism — But Biden Might
In this clown world of street riots, critical race theory and cancel culture, Trump represents normalcy. He’s the last man standing between America and a further erosion of its Constitution and its culture.

A Return To Normalcy Requires the Re-election of President Trump
Justice Ginsburg’s unfortunately timed death serves as another depressing reminder how despicably polarized our body politic has become. In a period of just four hours it became obvious that few, if any, are even concerned with the Justice’s legacy anymore. Instead, the focus was immediately shifted to the seat she left vacant on the Supreme…

In Defense of Liberalism (Review Of “Cynical Theories”)
It is a boring platitude that history has produced its share of intellectual folly. Jean Jacques Rousseau, for example, believed that humans are born a “blank slate” and only corrupted as they grow up in modern society, an assertion he could have known to be insane merely by paying a few hours of attention to…

America’s Weimar Moment?
The United States could be witnessing the early stages of its own Weimar moment.

Stampede Of the Brainless Smartphone Addicts
Alright, let’s just call the present iconoclasm what it is: a moral panic. Doing so obviously puts one at risk of being placed on the wrong side of history — or worse, being labeled a racist — but a moral panic it is nonetheless. Those who have been predicting doom and gloom for our Western…

The Logical End Result of Postmodernism Is Here
I’m sure the lockdowns are fanning the flames, as it were, but something else must be going on too. It’s time to drop the pretense that this is about the sad death of George Floyd any longer.

Mass Shootings: The American Mind Gone Nihilist
If the horrendous acts of terrorism in El Paso and Dayton this past weekend made me angry and sad, reading the empty-headed commentaries on social media within all but seven minutes of the respective events proved even more of a mental challenge. The usual culprits emanating from them are a) President Trump; b) the NRA;…
