The Southern Cross (1861)

Some things change. The treachery of Eastern metropolitan elites, however, is the one great constant of American history. St. George Tucker’s The Southern Cross appeared in the Southern Literary Messenger in March 1861: Oh, say can you see, through the gloom and the stormMore bright for the darkness, that pure constellation?Like the symbol of love and redemption in its […]

Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson Monuments Removed In Charlottesville

JUST IN – Confederate statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee removed in Charlottesville, Virginia.pic.twitter.com/4FascrbiEZ — Disclose.tv ? (@disclosetv) July 10, 2021 #RobertELee is accurately quoted from private letters at his Arlington Home. It succinctly demonstrates all that he sacrificed for his decision. There is no mention of Slavery. Why? No quote exists from Lee or […]

Now watching.

BBC: Ten Churches Vandalized In Alberta On Canada Day

Mainstream conservatives have done this cute thing where they have tried to separate the growth of anti-whiteness from anti-Christianity and anti-Western hatred among woke progressives. The last year though has made it crystal clear that it is the exact same people who loathe all of these things. The same people whose twisted worldview caused them […]

Kevin Drum: If You Hate The Culture War, Blame Liberals

What is “far right domestic extremism”? In most cases, it is holding views shared about an outright majority of Americans or an extremely large minority which were uncontroversial ten or twenty years ago. This was on clear display on July the 4th when it became clear that the American flag, Star Spangled Banner and the […]

Brian Stelter: Tucker Carlson Sounds Like Alex Jones

The DILE Question

I’ve written dozens of articles about the DILEs now. I trust that everyone here is familiar with the concept: college-educated, upper middle class White professionals who are concentrated in large metropolitan areas or their wealthy suburbs or college towns who have antiracist, modernist and cosmopolitan values. These people are the social base of the cultural […]

Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II Monuments Toppled On Canada Day In Winnipeg

Proud Boys and Antifa Brawl In Oregon City

Where is Civil War 2 most likely to break out? That’s an easy one. If it ever happens in our lifetimes, it will clearly begin out on the West Coast in Portland as Oregon disintegrates due to the poor governance of shitlib urbanites. Alabama and Mississippi are quiet by comparison. We watch all the chaos […]

NY Mag: George Packer Has Forgotten The Working Class Biden Voter

Eric Levitz has a hilarious new article up. In our response to George Packer, I noted that a huge swath of the Democratic base was just omitted from his narrative like an afterthought. Packer divided Blue America into “Smart America” and “Just America,” but this division only captures the divide between White Boomer PMCs and […]

Loudoun County Parent Push Back Against Woke Progressivism

Loudoun County, VA is the richest county in the United States. I’ve written at length about the Democrat Independent Liberal Elites (DILEs) or the woke progressives. They are affluent, college-educated White professionals with modernist, cosmopolitan and antiracist values who live in large metropolitan areas or wealthy suburbs. Wherever you find lots of rich and educated […]

The Atlantic: ‘Nobody Wants White Kids to Feel Bad About Their Race’

If you are a White parent, do you think your child should be indoctrinated in racial guilt from the earliest possible age in the public education system over things which happened hundreds of years ago and issues which have long since been resolved? This is what some progressive activists believe. As a result, this is […]

Nathan Bedford Forrest Is Being Evacuated From Memphrica

This man, part of the construction crew, has been harassing and yelling at Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer as she came to give an interview to the media. pic.twitter.com/bwz1mJs1Fu — Chris Luther (@cluther_wmc5) June 1, 2021 The man then started singing Dixie Land behind Sawyer. He also called her a Communist repeatedly. pic.twitter.com/9kGbRDoZ8a — Chris […]

Wired: More Content Moderation Is Not Always Better

This is a stupid article. Progressive activists who are 8% of the population and who are the most leftwing people in America already have all the answers. They have everything figured out like COVID. They just need the power to establish a woke dictatorship and to control what everyone else who lives here can say […]

American Greatness: The New Secession Crisis

Jeremy Carl has this historical analogy backwards. It is Joe Biden and the Democrats who are the true heirs of Abraham Lincoln and what was known at the time as “Black Republicanism.” Then as now, the South was the conservative section of the Union which had placed its faith in the Constitution and it was […]

What’s The Matter With Liberalism?

Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. The libs are people like Thomas Frank, Bill Maher and James Carville. Woke progressivism is something new and much worse. It has none of the redeeming virtues of liberalism like tolerance or respect for civil liberties and free speech or skepticism or rational debate. These people have […]

Poll: More Americans Now Say Violent Crime Is a “Very Big Problem” Than COVID-19

Joe Biden is now the president. Progressive activists are now ascendant in the White House. They have the ear of the president who has already caved to them on refugee resettlement. The country is now seeing the fruits of their ideas like “Abolish ICE” and “Defund the Police.” Once again, it might have been worth […]

Abraham Foxman Is Done With The New York Times

I am cancelling my subscription to NYTimes. I grew up in America on the NYT- I delivered the NYT to my classmates- I learned civics- democracy and all the news”fit to print” for 65 years but no more. Today’s blood libel of Israel and the Jewish people on the front page is enough — Abraham […]

Poll: Majority of Americans Oppose Phasing Out Fossil Fuels

Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Climate change is a deeply polarizing issue. I became much more interested in the issue earlier this year after I began digging into the polling data on the divisions on issue priorities within the Democratic coalition. Take this poll which came out yesterday. It confirmed what I […]

Vox: The Case for Requiring Gun Licenses

Hold up. They’ve got another great idea. It turns out that universal background checks and an assault weapons ban aren’t good enough anymore. We need gun licenses now like they have back East in Massachusetts. Vox: “After a shooting in America gets national attention, the debate usually centers around a few gun control measures, particularly […]

NY Mag: Georgia Struggles With Its Giant Neo-Confederate Embarrassment

Ed Kilgore has a new article which is a reminder of why Brian Kemp is governor of Georgia. New York Magazine: “All around the country, memorials to the racist Lost Cause of the Confederacy are coming down or, in the case of military facilities named after Confederate leaders, being redesignated. Many monuments, typically erected during […]

Rising: How “Journalists” Came To Love The Spy State

What do you do when your own government starts treating you as a domestic enemy of the state on the basis of your political and cultural views? How do you respond to being treated as a national security threat for voting against Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden? That’s where we are at now. Matt Taibbi: […]

Secular Talk: 40 Progressive Activist Groups Try To Kick FOX News Off Air

Progressive activists are busybodies. They are people who live in terror of not being able to control and silence other people who have different opinions and values. These people hate the fact that other people are allowed to talk on the internet and make their case without their permission. The great hushing has already been […]

Tucker Carlson: “Equity” is Anti-White Racism

Woke progressivism is distinct from progressive liberalism. Ibram X. Kendi is guru of the new governing ideology of the Democratic Party. It is the liberal part which has been jettisoned and which has been replaced by critical social justice which neatly divides the world into oppressor and oppressed races. The cishet White male is the […]

National Journal: New Poll Warns Democrats About Overreach

If you turn on PMC TV, you will notice that they are weirdly obsessed with the “insurrection” and “GOP infighting” and Liz Cheney and Trump. The political play here is that Democrats want to divide Trumpists (80% of the Republican Party) from non-Trumpists (20% of the Republican Party and hang onto suburban voters in the […]
