‘Brain-Eating Amoeba’
Something else for hypochondriacs to worry about: A North Carolina man has died after contracting an illness caused by a “brain-eating amoeba,” public health officials said. Laboratory testing confirmed the man, identified by local media as Eddie Gray, was sickened by Naegleria fowleri after swimming at Fantasy Lake Water Park in Cumberland County earlier this […]
Jonathan ‘Jessica’ Yaniv and How Transgenderism Destroys ‘Rights’
Last November, I wrote a post (“Jonathan Yaniv Is Not a Woman and #IStandWithMeghanMurphy”) about how a delusional pervert named Jonathan Yaniv (who calls himself “Jessica” and claims to be a woman) had gotten Canadian feminist Meghan Murphy banned from Twitter. In the past week, there has been a surge of search traffic to […]
The Mifsud Mystery
Who is Joseph Mifsud? That question got a lot of attention Wednesday after Republican Rep. Jim Jordan pinned down Robert Mueller in the House Judiciary Committee hearing, asking the former Special Counsel why Mifsud wasn’t charged with lying to investigators. Mueller’s report mentions Mifsud, a former Maltese diplomat and now a London-based academic, 87 […]
Mueller Hearing a Democrat Debacle
Whoever was responsible for the decision to hold today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing — and I suppose that must be the committee chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) — is an idiot. If the goal of Democrats in having former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testify was to gin up support for impeaching President Trump, they […]
‘Ourselves and Our Posterity’
The comments on my post yesterday about “oikophobia” blew up after it was linked by Vox Day — thanks! — and some of the new commenters took the conversation in directions I had not anticipated. Vox made his point simply: “The Dirt isn’t Magic. Neither is the Paper.” Magic Dirt Theory, the ludicrous idea that […]
‘Oikophobia’ and #NeverTrump: How Can We ‘Secure the Blessings of Liberty’?
What has prompted our immigration crisis? Isn’t it the same sentiment that leads Democrats (and David French, but I repeat myself) to claim Ilhan Omar is a better American than anyone born here? “Oikophobia,” a hatred of one’s native country (and of one’s fellow citizens) is the most remarkable proof that our elite class […]
Forgotten History for a Sunday in July
Most Americans have never heard of the Battle of Kettle Creek, fought in Wilkes County, Georgia, in February 1779. The British had captured Savannah two months earlier, and in January moved upriver to take Augusta. The British began recruiting and arming local Tories. By February, Lt. Col. John Boyd led a force of about […]
Saying ‘Thank You’ to David Atkins
Everybody had a good point-and-laugh at David Atkins’s expense, without wondering: Why would a California Democrat be so filled with loathing of “rural white evangelicals”? Was he bullied by militant Baptists as a child? Has he ever actually met any of the rural white people he says are thoroughly despised by “the vast majority […]
