  • Widow Clicquot: The Napoleon of Wine

    Counter Currents - Aug 27th 2024 12:15pm EDT

    1,054 words A new film directed by Thomas Napper, Widow Cliquot, is a period piece that avoids guns, histrionics, spectacle and passion. Well, not exactly avoiding passion, but depicting passion with wine, land, and production. It’s the Napoleonic wars, and in France, Barbe-Nicole (Haley Bennett), has just buried Francois (Tom Sturridge), her husband. She is […]

    2,064 words Pavel Durov Maybe it’s the weather, perhaps it’s my paranoid imagination, or perchance Western governments are ramping up for a World War and figure they need to preemptively tamp down on all criticism of Western governments and their financial enablers, but it sure seems as if this thing we fondly and naively refer […]

  • Friends Stab You in the Front

    Counter Currents - Aug 26th 2024 1:19pm EDT

    2,073 words Antonio Tajani. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Commons The same boring drama has been playing out on the political stage for decades: the progressive liberal left already gets everything it wants, yet it demands more; the useless “conservative” “right” either puts up no resistance, or gleefully sides with the liberals. Another episode of this […]

    Phil Donahue. Image courtesy of Wikipedia Commons 1,257 words When I read that Phil Donahue—who for over a quarter-century reigned as “The King of Daytime TV”—had died this past Sunday, I grinned and rubbed my hands at the prospect of issuing a robustly defamatory obituary.  It’s almost comical how many times I’ve already written about […]

    Counter Currents - Aug 22nd 2024 11:22am EDT

    1,767 words When considering some of the more tragic, unnerving specimens of the transgender craze, the pronoun question comes to play, even for those who correctly refuse to misgender as the term is properly understood, i.e. using he/him pronouns for a person born male and she/her pronouns for a person born as female.

    Counter Currents - Aug 20th 2024 7:36am EDT

    1,587 words Four years ago, the “wignats” declared war on Donald Trump. I thought this was silly and urged them to vote for Trump, largely because Trump credibly promised to slow the Great Replacement while Biden, as I predicted correctly, would kick it into overdrive.
