What We’ve Lost

July 30, 2020 – 12:49 am

I had a post ready to go here yesterday, but I sent it off to American Greatness and they picked it up, so I’ll ask you to read it there. Note: a disclaimer about the reality of the pandemic didn’t make the final cut. I’ll I’ll post the unedited, and possibly slightly revised, version here […]

What’s The Word?

July 26, 2020 – 8:37 pm

You may have noticed an uptick in mobs surrounding drivers in their cars, and an increasing willingness in drivers thus imperiled simply to step on the gas. “What shall we call this?” wondered someone on Twitter. The answer, of course, is obvious: Accelerationism.

Service Notice

July 23, 2020 – 5:30 pm

Sorry (again) that it’s been so quiet here. I’ve been nursing this shoulder injury — due to insurance-coverage issues I’ve had trouble getting an MRI, and will end up traveling from Wellfleet to Connecticut next week to get it done — and although it’s been getting a little better, it’s still been uncomfortable to type. […]

The Bonfire Of The Sanities

July 16, 2020 – 2:33 pm

From The True Believer, by Eric Hoffer: “When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed. For there is often a monstrous incongruity between the hopes, however noble and tender, and the action which follows them. […]

Yes, A Religion

July 15, 2020 – 7:37 pm

From Steve Sailer: Our New Religion of Race Read also this post of his from June 10th, linked in the article above. I won’t even talk about what the Smithsonian’s been up to; it deserves a post of its own, which I haven’t the oomph to write just now.

The NYT Eats Its Own

July 14, 2020 – 1:38 pm

Opinion editor Bari Weiss has been purged from the New York Times for a lack of ideological purity. Her resignation letter is a window into the intensifying vortex of cryptoreligious madness that now threatens to consume all of Western civilization. Read it here. PS: Remember always that we outnumber these people, and that they have […]

Ouch!

July 11, 2020 – 7:23 pm

Slipped on a puddle in the kitchen last night, caught my right elbow on the counter as I was falling, and tore my right shoulder to pieces. Back from the ER at Cape Cod Hospital — lovely people there! — but will need MRI and orthopaedic consultation. Judging by the tearing and crunching sounds as […]

Service Notice

July 9, 2020 – 2:30 pm

Sorry it’s been so slow around here — summer doldrums, mostly, and lack of anything interesting to say. (We also have our son Nick, whom we haven’t seen for months due to the Wuhan Red Death, paying us a brief visit.) Should be back with something soon. Thanks all for coming by, and please feel […]

Independence Day, 2020

July 4, 2020 – 8:23 pm

Happy birthday, America. Never in my lifetime has the fate of the Union seemed more precarious. To begin our 245th year, President Trump gave a rousing defense of the traditional American nation at Mount Rushmore. Unlike the terrible forces arrayed against him, this man truly loves his country, and he understands the awful threat it […]

Coming Apart

July 2, 2020 – 10:12 pm

When football season opens, if it does, we’ll be hearing two national anthems. (Readers of a certain age may remember one of them; it went with the deprecated American nation we all grew up with.) The NFL will be playing the “Black National Anthem” before “The Star-Spangled Banner”. Why would one nation have two national […]
