Snitches Get Stitches

September 26, 2024 – 7:01 pm

By now you have probably heard that Eric Adams, the glabrous black ex-cop who is (for now) Mayor of New York, is under multiple indictments for various acts of political corruption involving bribery and foreign influence, the culmination of a probe that has over the past couple of months swept up a number of his […]

My Days Are Numbered

September 23, 2024 – 12:16 am

As are all of our days. (Woody Allen once asked why they should be numbered, and not lettered.) Today, though, as it happens — on September 23rd, 2024 — the number of my days is a nice round one: exactly 25,000. It’s been a bit of a slog at times, and I’m well out of […]

By Other Means

September 19, 2024 – 1:33 pm

Here are the results of a recent survey conducted by Scott Rasmussen’s Napolitan News Service: Seventeen percent (17%) of voters believe America would have been better off if former President Trump had been killed in last week’s attempted assassination. That figure includes 28% of Democrats who say that America would have been better off if […]

Any Questions?

September 15, 2024 – 8:19 pm

Another day, another insane violent leftist bent on partisan violence. (I refer, of course, to today’s foiled attempt to assassinate Donald Trump — the second in two months.) Say what you like about Carl Schmitt, but the man had a keen eye for the truths of human nature. I’ve posted this quote before, but it […]

What’s The Matter With Haiti?

September 13, 2024 – 1:44 pm

Steve Sailer’s latest over at Substack is a look at why Haiti is so stubbornly dysfunctional. Steve mentions in passing a thing that is surely an important factor, rarely mentioned over here in discussions of U.S. immigration policy: when a place falls below comfortable levels of safety and prosperity, those who are able to — […]

Editorial Note

September 11, 2024 – 11:19 am

I have taken down yesterday’s item — a thing I’ve only ever done once or twice in the twenty-year history of this blog — about the effect of a rapid influx of Haitians to the small town of Springfield, Ohio. Although I stand by the gist of the post, which was that mass immigration from […]

Douglas Murray On Hamas

September 8, 2024 – 10:08 pm

This, folks, is moral clarity. Good commentary also by the Tweeter, @orenbarsky. This clip of @DouglasKMurray on @PiersUncensored has been circulating online, and I imagine many of you have seen it by now (if not, it’s worth watching). For this reason, I won’t address his comments directly, but rather focus on a hidden meaning within […]

See You In September

September 7, 2024 – 7:22 pm

Well, August is over, Labor Day has come and gone (and with it the annual four-day gathering and concert series of the Shoal Survivors, the musical collective I’ve been a member of for a decade now), and I really should try to get this blog up and running again. I’ve been in a slump for […]
