1,499 words The politics of personal destruction are now accompanied by outright assassinations and murder. Unfortunately, political violence is here to stay. The Left and other nefarious actors not only think they have the monopoly on violence but are confident that they control the media apparatus necessary to deflect from its aggression. It is important […]
3,495 words Prime Ministers and Presidents are both the political premiers of their respective countries, but there is a subtle difference in status between the two. The British Prime Minister (PM) has always operated on the primus inter pares principle first recognized in Imperial Rome: first among equals. The office of President of the United […]
1,121 words Eric Voegelin Anyone who wishes to live in a relatively tranquil society knows that polarization—that is, the times of das Politische—is anything but reassuring. This is not difficult to understand: during moments of polarization, every situation, act, subject, or object, no matter how insignificant it might appear in more “normal” times, becomes unbearably […]
1,359 words One of the most problematic aspects of the trans movement, largely ignored by the mainstream media, is the sale of “DIY HRT”: Do It Yourself Hormone Replacement Therapy. This involves the illegal trafficking of hormones by trans activists and online pharmacies. The rate of DIY HRT use varies depending on country and age […]
4,449 In the shadowed corners of the internet, a Russian website emerged like a grim auction block, eerily resembling an online slave market, where profiles of Ukrainian children – kidnapped from Russian-occupied territories – were advertised for “adoption.” Accompanied by descriptions of their physical builds, eye and hair color, temperaments, and ages, these listings reduced […]
3,614 words Ayn Rand’s lecture “Philosophy: Who Needs It” is a brief and compelling introduction to what philosophy is and why it is crucially important.[1] The title is not a question. But if you read it that way, Rand’s answer is: “Everyone.” When I first read “Philosophy: Who Needs It”, I was already convinced of […]
1,153 words For much of the last decade, conservatives have endured the onslaught of progressive zealotry in America’s cultural and intellectual life. A stray remark deemed insensitive, a tweet judged offensive, or a speech that challenged fashionable orthodoxy was often enough to bring an individual’s career to a premature and humiliating end. Professors were hounded […]
1,263 Cancel culture started out as low hum that at first was easy to ignore. The first few celebrities to be canceled were people I didn’t care that much about. There was that lady I had never heard of who had a cooking show. Paula something. A C-list actor here and a former sitcom star […]

Once again, my sincere thanks to all who have helped. But we are still a long way from our goal of $300,000 and still more than $20,000 behind where we were at […]
1,650 words Antifa Is Now a Terrorist Organization Future historians will have to piece together why it took eight years for Donald Trump to declare antifa a terrorist organization, even though antifa were out in force committing violence on inauguration day in 2017. I would love to know what sweet treasons were being whispered in […]
1,741 words Part 1, Part 2 From the early 1960s onward Buckley was easily goaded to sue, generally on account of casual insults, libels and calumnies that would be tossed off in print or on television, and just as easily forgotten in a week if he didn’t draw attention to them. As a public figure […]
882 words When I meet WN, I often ask them a very essential question: Why are you WN? I have heard many different answers. Try asking WN this question yourself and you will be surprised by what good white people will tell you. At the end of this piece, I’ll reveal the most brilliant short […]
1,774 words Charlie Kirk in debate with George Abaraoyne in May 2025. The shooting of Charlie Kirk seemed to provide the final clinching piece of evidence that all possibility of fruitful debate between the two opposing sides in the West’s ongoing internal civilizational war of survival is now, like Charlie himself, stone cold dead. The […]
3,209 Emily Wilson Seneca: A Life Penguin Random House UK, 2014 Martin Heidegger once famously opened a lecture on Aristotle with a rather potted biography of the philosopher known as the Stagyrite: “He was born, he lived and worked, and then he died.” Concise, although more than a little dismissive, but biographies of great men […]
1,835 words In author’s blurbs and other capsule biographies, the late H. Keith Thompson Jr. is usually listed as something like, “NYC corporate executive,” or sometimes, “public relations executive.” But what sort of corporate executive is never explained, let alone the name of the corporation. It is known that he sometimes worked for his father’s […]

1,826 words On September 15, Pam Bondi (who surprisingly graduated from the Stetson University College of Law in 1990 and passed the Florida bar exam on her first attempt) managed to make Chief Justice Ketanji Brown and even Reddit seem smart and conservative by comparison. Bondi remarked: “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, […]
1,647 words The Low Countries (“The Netherlands”) is the name given to the area comprising the present-day states of The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The language spoken in this area is largely Dutch, but in the south there is a strong and expanding influence of French. Belgium is divided into a Dutch-speaking and a French-speaking […]
1,002 words Because I am not particularly familiar with American non-alt conservatism—nor with the minor figures and initiatives associated with the GOP—I was mostly unaware of Charlie Kirk as a political personality. And yet, his outrageous and untimely death at Utah Valley University compels commentary, not only because it was a death provoked by the […]
2,488 words Liberals often derogatorily accuse anybody who does not faithfully accept every dogmatic piece of history and the “official story” as a revisionist. Some of these accusations have come my way over the years, which in turn got me thinking about all of the instances of legal and historical revisionism by the Left. Examples […]
1,792 words A few years ago, the late popular historian David McCullough published a biography of Wilbur and Orville Wright, inventors of the airplane. The book was deservedly successful, and I read it entirely for pleasure myself. The brothers were typical of their Northern European Protestant race: intelligent, soft-spoken, hard-working, plain almost to the point […]
810 words The killing of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy that deserves the strongest condemnation. Whatever one thinks of his politics, Charlie Kirk was not the figure his enemies in the press claim he was. He was not an extremist and he was certainly not some unhinged provocateur. In truth, Kirk was often criticized by […]
4,324 words Schopenhauer monument, Frankfurt. All parts here. The Tragedy and Comedy of Life We are continuing our discussion of Schopenhauer’s pessimistic philosophy of life.
