    AI and the Erosion of Human Worth

    The road to irrelevance is apparently not paved with any intentions whatsoever.

    The Collapse of Credible Authority

    I grew up in a world in which most authorities could be trusted most of the time. No longer.

    After the Elections

    Whatever shakes out after the circus of November — we must remember whom we're dealing with on the other side of the aisle.

    Soviet Tyranny Warmed Over Is Still Tyranny

    Truth, as the postmodernists have openly told us, is what authorities say it is. In such a world, you and I are nothing at all.

  • February 21, 2021

    Fake News Wannabes

    Don't expect the local news to "do what's right." Not even in a weather report.

    Why Post-Inauguration Reminds Me of Post-9-11

    I don't think any of us will be going back to normal anytime soon.

    The Modern World's Never-Ending War on Faith

    There is no worse religion in the world than the one the godless have constructed for themselves.

  • September 23, 2020

    The Battle of November 3rd Is Coming

    The left has been at war with America for as long as there has been a left. For decades, it has been a cold war — but it's beginning to leave bodies on the streets again.

    Dem Convention Offered a Terrifying Re-run

    What we witnessed is the most alarming kind of vanity – the total self-absorption of our political class with the beautiful righteousness of their spectacularly unhelpful and quite dangerous ideas.

  • June 21, 2020

    Who Owns the Streets?

    Today, unfortunately, the voice of reason has been shouted down. Many of our cities and states have begun to disintegrate.

    Three Species of Protesters

    Not all protesters are created equal...or peaceful.

  • May 2, 2020

    A nation suspended

    I do not know what will happen over the summer or beyond. But I fear more for my liberty than my life.

    Sorry, Democrats: Party's Over

    The days of formidable Democratic villains like Slick Willie have ebbed away. Only the narcissism and the dishonesty linger. 

  • November 15, 2019

    Liberals and the Moral Compass

    Can a modern liberal have a moral compass? The answer is both "yes" and "no." It depends on what you think a moral compass is.

  • October 10, 2019

    Progressing toward Extinction

    Now we now live in a better world, where people have been freed from the cultural burden of having big families — or families of any kind.

  • August 31, 2019

    Don't tell me your pronouns — I can guess!

    There are now sixtyish new pronoun sets, just as we are told there are sixtyish new genders.

    What Is Racism?

    "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." The echo of this sentiment is now only a whisper.

    Slavery without the Muss

    Maybe, in a decent world, Mexicans would clean up their own miserable country, and white people would clean up their own precious oversized lawns.

  • June 15, 2019

    Reality is Not an Option

    The current fad of ignoring brute realities in the name of fairness and “social justice” is nearing the end of its road. 

  • April 6, 2019

    The Never-Ending Threat of Civil War

    We and the Left are now two nations within one country. This is undeniable.

    The Dream that We Are All the Same

    A trip down Memory Lane to the ghetto reveals some hard, politically incorrect truths.

  • January 19, 2019

    Holes in the Map

    Violent people without much impulse control don't just end up in middle-class suburbs unless the government, in its official zeal for "fairness," plants them there. Even today's progressives know this, whether they admit it or not.

  • October 29, 2018

    The Sad, Sad Culture of Progressivism

    Socialism has always been, at heart, a literary façade for the same old centralization of power -- a petty tyranny at the hands of self-appointed and self-righteous planners and intellectuals.

  • July 19, 2018

    Distinguishing Civil War from Social Anarchy

    Civil wars are made by certain distinct actions of public officials and are not simply an emergent condition that occurs after a certain level of street violence is reached. But we are now facing a kind of hideous synthesis of Mao's Red Guards and the Manson family.

    Journalism schools do not teach journalism anymore. They teach the Machiavellian black art of propaganda. 

  • May 12, 2018

    Fake neutrality in politics

    Let us dispense with the naïve smiley-faced idea that compromise is automatically the best solution to all problems.

  • April 12, 2018

    The Fatal Weaknesses of Humanism

    The humanist wishes to rid himself of God so that he can, himself, become God.

  • April 1, 2018

    The Anti-Christian Movement

    Today's atheists believe in an emotional narrative invented and reinvented at the whim of politically motivated human beings. 

  • February 25, 2018

    Churches for People Who Dislike God

    The way in which Christianity has been bifurcated into the devout on one hand and the childish on the other becomes apparent every time we have a national election.

    California's de facto secession

    Functionally, if not by actual open declaration, the state of California has seceded from the union.

    The Impending Death of Multiculturalism

    Although leftists appear to love third-world immigration, they are not so dogmatically blind as they might seem. 

  • November 14, 2017

    The Leftist Herd

    Progressives live on a kind of moral roulette wheel, ready to conform to whatever emotional imperative the ball happens to land on next. 

  • September 2, 2017

    Deleting History

    What the West is experiencing now is little different from China's Cultural Revolution of the 1960s: mobs of emotionally enflamed young people encouraged by their socialist elders to tear the culture down. 

  • August 8, 2017

    What Is 'Freedom of Religion'?

    The popular notion that the freedom of religion guaranteed by the Constitution is the free exercise of any religion whatsoever is not the creation of our colonial forefathers.

    Impersonators of God

    Man has never been able to figure out on his own what course is truly good for him.

    Why Finsbury Park and London Bridge Are Not Alike

    When it comes to cultures, leftists live in a multicultural dreamland and utterly refuse to be awakened.

    A Cause for War?

    War, the last resort of desperate people when all political and legal remedies have failed, waits only for a triggering event.

    Conservatism and Progressivism: Two Irreconcilable Worldviews

    Conservatives and progressives are not different merely in having differing views about the size and scope of government – they are different in kind.

    Watching the Snowflakes Melt

    When you breed a couple of generations who don’t believe in the traditional standards of morality and logic, you can keep them fired up with new and contradictory illusions indefinitely if you just have the right street cred.

  • October 21, 2016

    The Elites and Open Borders

    We are ruled with no less callous disregard than we might expect if we’d been invaded by a foreign army. 

  • August 5, 2016

    Hate Is Love

    What appears to be insanity is actually just the playing out of a deliberate strategy – the undermining of cultural norms by making today’s feelings more important than yesterday’s reason or tomorrow’s safety. 

  • July 19, 2016

    A Religion for the Moment

    In the left’s dream of the world, all religion is nonsense, but only their own ancestral religion can really be considered dangerous nonsense.

    The Academic War on Facts

    What would happen if the self-indulgent, sexually ambiguous thumb-suckers that inhabit university safe-spaces today find their way into positions of real authority?

    It Has Come to This

    Donald Trump, for all of his flaws, must do. 

  • September 17, 2015

    Indecency by Administrative Decree

    The left sneer at conservatives who are uncomfortable with Darwinian evolution –- and yet they have declared the recognition of the most basic fact of biology a crime.

  • July 18, 2015

    The Logic of Elitism

    When our government becomes powerful enough to ignore the public, it becomes something fundamentally different from what it was. 

  • March 1, 2015

    Who the hell is Chelsea Manning?

    Manning is a hero to the left, first because he thumbed his nose at the Army and second because he has transformed himself into one of the left’s favorite things – a victim.
