If January 6th was an Insurrection . . .
. . . how long until mere disagreement with the ruling class and their regime is deemed insurrection?

Authoritarianism from the Left
Michael Anton I solicit comments on the following excerpts (bolding added): The greatest factor in hastening the end of American-style democracy over the past 125 years (at least) has been increasing government centralization and administrative rule. To answer the question posed by Harvard Law professor Cass Sunstein’s edited volume, Can It Happen Here?: Authoritarianism in America: it…

Pat Buchanan warned us six years ago. Substack latest.

Suicide by Illegal Immigration
Such suicide is what the leaders of the present-day Democrat Party promote. They are out to destroy the United States of America. It is perfectly plain that diversity is not our strength despite their asinine and oft-repeated asseverations to the contrary. Diversity sans unity = decline, downfall, disaster. 'Asinine' is exactly the right word, deriving…

Annus Horribilis in Excelsis
That is what 2024 is shaping up to be. Ben Shapiro: All of which means that 2024 is going to be the most insane and ugly presidential election in American history. And that’s saying a lot, since 1968 and 2020 are both years that existed. Under what circumstances, precisely, would Democrats accept the result of…

Jewish Disproportionality!
Not even the Hamas sexual atrocities recounted on the basis of a NYT report by Alex Berenson justify Jewish disproportionality: On Thursday, The New York Times recounted in awful detail the sexual atrocities the men of Gaza committed during Hamas’s October 7 raid into Israel. I know Jeffrey Gettleman, who had the piece’s lead byline. He is…

Political Opponents or Political Enemies?
If you are among the sane, reasonable, and morally decent, then you ought to consider leftists, and this includes today's Democrats, as political enemies. Here is one reason among many: Earlier this year, RCP [RealClear Politics] learned that it was one of many news sites that appeared on an advertising blacklist put out by a…

The Psychology of the Pollyanna and the Political Ponerology of Leftism
We all know pollyannas. They are more often women than men and the charm of these lovable ladies is in no small measure due to their openness to the positive in people and things and their seeming incapacity to discern the negative and evil. A most extreme example has come to my attention, one .…

Radical Islam’s Threat to the Left
Substack latest. Why don't leftists — who obviously do not share the characteristic values and beliefs of Islamists — grant what is spectacularly obvious to everyone else, namely, that radical Islam poses a grave threat to what we in the West cherish as civilization, which includes commitments to free speech, open inquiry, separation of church…

Wolff on Israel
Robert Paul Wolff, 30 October 2023: I have found the series of comments on the Israeli situation interesting and helpful. I have not responded to them because I am so upset by what is happening that I can barely watch the news reports of it anymore. Let me make one small observation. There has been…

And You Call for a Cease-Fire?
Take a look at the massacre map. Then read this: The world is yet again staring at the near inevitability of another global conflagration. The flashpoint is in the Middle East and the Hitler of our time: the Mullahs of Iran. The West, led by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have chosen to follow in…

The State of Things When the ‘Leader’ of the ‘Free World’ is a Puppet
I asked Dr. Vito Caiati, historian, whether Donald Trump's being in office would have made any difference to the present geopolitical mess, and this is what he wrote: As for the present miserable state of the world, I think that had Trump remained in office neither the war in the Ukraine nor the war in…

Left and Right: Morally Equivalent?
Leftist evil-doers are becoming ever more brazen in 'outing' themselves. I hand off to Hinderaker: My opinion of leftists is so low that I am hard to disappoint. But I admit to being shocked by the reaction of many leftists and liberals to the Gazan invasion of Israel. In many instances, they feel no obligation…
