"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Congo: ‘The Horror! The Horror!’

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), formerly known as Zaire, and before that, the Belgian Congo, is one of those Third World nightmare hellholes that I describe as being “worse than Baltimore.” However, since a new federal prosecutor has brought Baltimore’s homicide problem under control, I’ll describe the DRC as worse than Memphis. Joseph Conrad […]

‘Crash Out Kylie’: How a Queer Feminist Became Famous (Not in a Good Way)

Because I don’t pay much attention to podcasts, I overlooked some delicious drama last year, when an Ivy League-educated “queer feminist” named Kylie Brewer went on the popular “Whatever” show, hosted by Brian Atlas. The show flew her out from Chicago to California for her spotlight appearance, where she was confronted by a well-known Christian […]

Why Would Two Jew-Hating Teenage Incels Shoot Up a Mosque in San Diego?

Well, what else do we expect of murderous weirdos, huh? If what you’re looking for is logic and rationality, homicidal adolescents probably aren’t the first place you’d look. Monday’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego was perpetrated by Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, who fled the scene in a BMW and […]

What’s the Over/Under on How Soon Barrett Brown Gets Arrested Again?

Given all the trouble in the world right now, my hunch is that Barrett Brown is somewhere near the bottom of the list of federal law enforcement priorities. It’s been nearly five years since I last devoted a post to him here (“Oh, Dear God: Barrett Brown Again!” July 13, 2021), after he’d gotten himself […]

‘There Is No Truth … Only Power’

Before he died of AIDS, Michel Foucault was a French philosopher and also sodomized boys in Tunisia. These facts are not unrelated. Any argument must stand or fall on its own merits. As every educated person knows, attempting to refute an argument by attacking the personality of its proponent is a logical fallacy known as […]

This Should Not Need to Be Said

It has been remarked that the demand for racism now exceeds the genuine supply by such a great margin that there is an incentive to manufacture phony racism — thus explaining the frequent hoaxes wherein the alleged victims of oppression claim to be assaulted while, for example, going out to get a Subway sandwich in […]

Do You Hate Communism Enough?

The answer to the question in the headline is obviously no — it is impossible that any of us could hate Communism as much as we should. Unless you were a Chilean helicopter pilot back in the day, perhaps, you could almost certainly use a booster shot for your anti-Communism. This point was brought home […]

It’s a Long Way to Hope

If you’ve ever been to Lithia Springs, Georgia, where I grew up, you know where Thornton Road is. When I was a kid, parts of it were a dirt road, but now it’s a major thoroughfare. As it comes up north from I-20, Thornton Road is Georgia Route 6, but when it crosses Bankhead Highway […]
