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

21st-Century Digital Stalinism

Of all the sinister aspects of the Soviet Union — secret police, famine, mass murders — perhaps nothing was ultimately more frightening than the way the Communists literally erased history. After Trotsky was purged, Soviet propagandists began airbrushing the former Bolshevik leader from historic photographs, so that his role in the Russian revolution, and his […]

On ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’

After 10 days of reading endless commentary about Oliver Anthony’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond,” I finally decided to watch the YouTube video and see for myself: Red-bearded young man with a muscular voice picking a Gretsch dobro and singing the blues about “what the world’s gotten to,” and how it feels to […]

‘Democracy’ Ruins Everything

Last year, my son Jefferson was studying the Punic Wars — Hannibal, Cannae and all that — and in discussing it with me, remarked that at the time, slaves were about half the population of the city of Rome. These were white slaves, however, and the Roman Empire collapsed long ago, so there’s no “critical […]

Looting Nordstrom and Other Recent News From Zimbabwe, U.S.A.

Another weekend in the decline and fall of Western civilization: Shocking video captured a mob-style smash-and-grab robbery at a mall in Topanga and police are now searching for up to 30 suspects involved.

CNN’s Endless Indictment Orgasm

Because my office TV was tuned to CNN today, I got to hear more-or-less endless “reporting” about the Fulton County indictment of Trump.

How the CNN anchors stroked themselves into paroxysms […]

‘Huddled Masses’ Update: Why Is This ‘Crisis’ Costing New York Billions?

Our moral and intellectual superiors: New York City’s surging migrant population is set to double by June 2024 — meaning the city will be on the hook for 100,000 homeless immigrants — as costs are estimated to rise to a mind-boggling high of $12 billion over the next three years. “We are past our breaking […]

When the ‘Investigation’ Is a Cover-Up

First, the news: In a dramatic shift, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss was being upgraded to a special counsel to investigate the Biden family finances. The decision means the probe into Hunter Biden’s taxes and his father’s potential dealings with his foreign clients will carry into the 2024 […]

Anarcho-Tyranny in Seattle and L.A.

Stephen Green at Instapundit calls attention to a veteran Seattle police officer’s resignation letter: “Their absurd policies have turned Seattle into a playground for anarchists and criminals, and they seem utterly unconcerned with the devastating consequences of their actions,” wrote Jessica Taylor, who joined the force in 1998 and resigned last week. “If you haven’t […]
