    1,604 words Part 1. Part 2. I want to pause a bit here, and look at some personal matters, which might be thought irrelevant or even somewhat demeaning (certainly Dutton’s critics think so), but they form a good part of Dutton’s case, so I want to address them before getting into a more substantial area.

    Counter Currents - May 29th 2025 11:46am EDT

  • Statues of Fat Black Women Inspire Us All

    Counter Currents - May 19th 2025 6:43am EDT

    1,100 words I couldn’t be more inspired.

That’s how invigorated I was. I’d never felt such elation in […]
