Brion McClanahan: Roe v. Wade

We haven’t discussed the states’ rights and decentralization angle of returning abortion and hopefully issues like gay marriage and interracial marriage back to the states.

The Atlantic: America’s Blue-Red Divide Is About To Get Starker

Abortion is a practice. Ronald Brownstein gets it. The abortion issue is really just a proxy of a much deeper cultural divide. The “pro-choice” crowd supports abortion for the same reason it supports atheism and “trans” and “gay marriage” and miscegenation and feminism and divorce and cosmopolitanism and illegal immigration and antiracism and interracial marriage […]

Tucker Carlson Celebrates New York Times Hit Piece

pic.twitter.com/FJ76ULBSBG — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) May 1, 2022 Attaboy! Tucker needs to frame this and mount it on his wall and light a cigar. This is a like a trophy for a job well done. He is pissing off all the right people (i.e., the coastal PMC libtards on Twitter who are dragging us into […]

Compact Mag: The Rise of the Professionals

I’ve spent the last two years naming them. Compact Mag: “We live now in a world cast in the image of the professional managerial class, or PMC. Our politics—from the response to Trump and Brexit to the Covid crisis and now anti-Russian hysteria—reflects their whims, prejudices, and psychopathologies. Every few months, they launch a new […]

WSJ: Russia, China and the New Cold War

Welcome to the Second Cold War. Unlike the First Cold War, China’s economy is on course to surpass our own in a few years. Russia isn’t menacing the West with communism, but is merely concerned with reasserting itself over its near abroad. The conflict that has exploded in Ukraine is due to NATO’s encroachment. WSJ: […]

Politico: Dems Catch a Break From the Culture Wars

Joe Biden was in a terrible spot. He was sinking under the weight of 1.) the collapse of his own domestic agenda, 2.) runaway gas prices and inflation and 3.) a unified opposition hammering him on the dozens of unpopular cultural battles picked by progressive activists. Democrats were facing an apocalyptic defeat in the 2022 […]

YouTube Censors RT

1/ Our Community Guidelines prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events. We are now removing content about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy. https://t.co/TrTnOXtOTU — YouTubeInsider (@YouTubeInsider) March 11, 2022 2/ In line with that, we are also now blocking access to YouTube channels associated with Russian state-funded media globally, expanding […]

Secular Talk: Russia-Ukraine War Used To Beef Up Bloated Military

If we are entering a Second Cold War which will be dominated by foreign policy, it is worth noting that we have similar views on imperialism and militarism. I’m not sure we can even keep such a conflict contained to a Second Cold War. Twitter didn’t exist back then. We also had leaders like Dwight […]

TAC: Right Again, Unfortunately, On Russia

It is time to sacrifice again. It hasn’t been a year since the withdrawal from Afghanistan. The class of people who felt it was necessary to expand the American Empire into Vietnam and southeast Asia, the Balkans, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan for twenty years are demanding further sacrifices from you over the latest front […]

Tim Pool: Majority of Democrats Back Trudeau’s Crackdown on Freedom Convoy

This poll demolishes Thomas Main. Far from being a radical fringe, woke progressivism is now the governing ideology of the Democratic Party. These people DO NOT believe in traditional small-l liberalism which is an impediment to progressive activists. In fact, they are far more intolerant and ready to embrace authoritarianism to ruthlessly crush their opposition […]

Canadian Dictator Justin Trudeau Imposes Sanctions on Russia

Trudeau says Canada “will defend democracy” and “stand against authoritarianism.” Of course he’s talking about sanctioning Russia and not his own authoritarian bullsh*t. pic.twitter.com/5Ipg7boCVc — AllegianceToLiberty (@AllegianceTL) February 22, 2022 Are you ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Trudeau to defend democracy from authoritarianism? How about Australia which puts its own citizens in concentration […]

Little Brian: Truth Social App “Another Chapter In the War on Truth”

PPI: The New Politics of Evasion

Now reading. I’ve only skimmed over this. It looks good though. I tend to agree with Democratic strategists like Ruy Teixeira who I see as hostages of the lunatics who have hijacked their party. In my view, the Democrats always oversell and fail to deliver on their alleged economic populism while exceeding even the worst […]

Meet the Press: San Francisco Recall Election

In San Francisco, it was AAPIs fed up with Wokeism in public education for a variety of reasons that triggered the landslide recall election. New York Times: “Seventy percent of the people in San Francisco tried to warn us,” he said of the battle among Democrats that ended up with voters firing three far-left school board members […]

Philadelphia Inquirer: Black City, White Paper

What is the brand of the Democratic Party? How is the Democratic Party perceived outside the Acela Corridor? Philadelphia Inquirer: “CASSIE HAYNES STARTED the morning of June 2, 2020, as she does most mornings, with a copy of her hometown newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer. What she read that day horrified and enraged her. For weeks, […]

Axios: Squad Politics Backfire

The Democrats know based on their own polling and focus groups that 1.) their brand has become culturally toxic with swing voters and a large swath of their own voters and 2.) that the culture war attacks are working and splintering their coalition and 3.) they are losing the argument on multiple issues because the […]

Greg Gutfeld: The Great Flip

I’ve said the same thing here. The Democrats are dominated now by people like Jim Acosta or Professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss of PERIL who advocates a “whole-of-society” totalitarian Yankee school marm approach to dealing with “the rise of rightwing domestic extremism.” PC Principal is now in charge of the Democratic Party.

Axios: Canadian Police Arrest Over 100 People In Trucker Protests

While I was out enjoying my evening last night, this happened. I trust everyone saw it. Axios: “Ottawa police announced Friday it had arrested over 100 people involved in trucker anti-vaccine mandate protests and has towed 21 vehicles. …”

Matt Bai’s Reactionary Centrism

I thought it was a good article. Matt Bai is a PMC and a liberal, but he isn’t a woke progressive. He isn’t comfortable with the fanatics who have seized control of the Democratic Party. There are a lot of deeply closeted people out there like Bai who have been alienated by the triumph of […]

Jacobin: Democrats Are Ditching Class, and It’s Costing Them Working-Class Voters

The “civil war” has begun. We’re still eight months out from the 2022 midterms and liberals and leftists, moderates and progressives are pointing fingers and blaming each other for the looming fiasco. Jacobin: “More than a year into Joe Biden’s presidency, it’s clear that the president is not, as some had anticipated, the “second coming […]

Don Lemon Slams America’s Casual Racism

Don Lemon, a highly successful gay black man with a prime time show no one watches, occasionally wears these glasses because he thinks it makes him look smart. He went on a tirade last night about the “everyday hate” of racial humor which is “infecting our country.”

DCCC: GOP Culture War Attacks “Alarmingly Potent”

This is the first election cycle in which the GOP quit worrying about being called “racist” by “journalists” and started framing Democrats as anti-White. It is working for them. Politico: “Democrats’ own research shows that some battleground voters think the party is “preachy,” “judgmental” and “focused on culture wars,” according to documents obtained by POLITICO. […]

Tucker Carlson: “Journalists” Are Complicit In The Death of Canadian Democracy

If Donald Trump had done this, Thomas Main would be calling it illiberalism and authoritarianism and the death of democracy. Joe Biden, however. pushed Justin Trudeau to do this.

Spectacles Media: Thomas Main on Illiberalism

Professor Thomas Main is an anachronism. This is how he is perceived by the “lumpen intelligentsia” of illiberalism. The man is a relic of his time and place which is a bygone age. What do I mean by that? “Normal” for Thomas Main is late 20th century New York. It is America and the world […]
