The Other McCain

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

The Action and the Reaction

What have we learned here? A self-declared “free speech absolutist” makes an offer to purchase Twitter, and many liberals instantly get nightmare visions of Hitler. Glenn Reynolds observes: “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the motto of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post. It may sound like a warning, but more and more it seems like a […]

Night Of The Digital Long Knives

— compiled by Wombat-socho Silicon Valley delenda est. I don’t think anyone except the Silicon Valley oligarchs, who no doubt had this planned well in advance, and Vox Day, who had expected this for some time – expected the whole sale purging of conservative & populist accounts from social media that’s taken place this week. […]

Le Mot Juste

There are certain ideas that are best expressed in French, and some that can scarcely be expressed otherwise. Esprit de corps, for example. What I have in mind today, however, is panache and savoir faire. The former suggests conspicuous self-confidence, particularly in matters of style, while the latter refers to knowledge of how to act […]

The Haughty Pride of the Elite

New Joe Biden Campaign Ad Released

  Oh, wait . . . that’s not the headline? Netflix accused of promoting pedophilia with ‘Cuties’ film about children ‘twerking’ Who owns Netflix? Who are the executives at Netflix? Can somebody check and see whether these executives have donated to Democrats? Because I’m pretty sure Republicans are against this slime show: Netflix recently released […]

The War Against Judgment

  Something that has been turning over in my mind lately is the way some people reject the entire idea of judgment — or, rather, they say they are against judging people. In reality, such people are often extremely judgmental. “Don’t judge me!” they angrily exclaim, but if you pay attention, you’ll notice these people […]

‘ The Battle for the Survival of the United States of America Is Upon Us’

Let’s face it — Abe Greenwald knows how to start an essay. His opening sentence is a blunt declaration of a startling thesis which, nonetheless, Greenwald is able to sustain by evidence: The police are indeed being defunded. The statues are coming down. The heretics are being outed. The dissenters are being silenced. The buildings […]
