Typepad is shutting down effective 30 September.  I have to figure out what to do. So please bear with me.  Hold your comments on previous posts. My best to all of you.

This is great news, and we have Trump to thank for this and for so many other things. In May of this year, I wrote over at Substack: If you like NPR programming, write them a check! Just don't demand that they receive taxpayer support. We are in fiscal crisis, and budgetary cuts must be…

. . . is demonstrated by the fact that George F. Will, horribile dictu,  voted for Kamala Harris. The bow-tied, yap-and-scribble pussy-wussy is hard at work destroying whatever legacy he might have enjoyed had he not gone bonkers over DJT, something he has in common with the rest of the Bulwark bunch. Staunch conservative and…

Why did Kamala lose?  Here: One answer has to do with race and gender. Too many Americans, especially white men, were still not willing to vote for a woman, even less a Black woman.  Only a leftist scumbag could spew such slanderous garbage.  The vast majority of conservatives don't care about a candidate's race or…

It may be a bit OTT in places, but I agree in the main with Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's Open Letter to the American People on the eve of the 2024 presidential election. (HT: Catacomb Joe) And here's Tucker Carlson to get your blood up. (HT: Vito Caiati) WARNING:  Should our side win, expect violence…

Was this pseudo-con ever on it? See here for a meaty extract from his most recent NYT column.  The rejoinder by NT scholar Robert Gagnon is good. I define my position over against that of French in my hard-hitting Substack entry, David French, Christianity, and Politics.

Three Dreher pieces at the top of his 'Stack.'  I am especially interested in comments from U. K. readers. Britain: This Machete'd Isle 'A Riot is the Language of the Unheard' Tommy the Savage Is the world coming apart or is the world coming apart? Filed under: Decline of the West (369 entries and counting)

Having ditched his mindless anti-Trumpery, Rod Dreher is serving up better content than ever. Take a gander at the bullet points in this piece.  Here is an article on the Islamization of Vienna. The decadent Austrians and the rest of the decadent Europeans need to take a lesson from the Orange Man, "in the arena,…

A soupçon of sanity returns to the body politic. Roger Kimball: “Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised in the Motion,” Cannon wrote in her ninety-three-page ruling, “the Court is convinced that Special Counsel’s Smith’s prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme — the role of Congress in the appointment of…

This Stack topper proposes a generalization of the age-old principle from Roman law, ultra posse nemo obligatur. Excerpt: This is an important topic because having the wrong ideals is worse than having no ideals at all.  Many think that to be idealistic is good.  But surely it is not good without qualification.  Think of National Socialist ideals,…

When the USA is no more, what will future historians point to as the main causes of our collapse? One of them will be the foolish immigration policy that got its start in the '60s. Somehow we collectively forgot that There is no right to immigrate Immigration is justified only if it benefits the host…

U-Haul is raking it in these days renting moving vans and trailers to folks eager to flee such Dementocratic crapholes as San Francisco for rather more habitable places far from the Left Coast. Why then no Jew-Haul? Because the Jews ain't goin' nowhere, to allude to a song written by a Jew. Bill Maher makes…

London Ed sends the following: ‘this mirror image of this face’ That’s a referring expression which refers to something. Does it refer to the same thing as ‘this face’ refers to? If so, it is problematic. 'This mirror image' does indeed refer to something. It refers to a mirror image. 'This face' also refers to something. It refers…
