Good! Make the clown show that is American academia even more ridiculous and out of touch with reality and American values. From safe spaces and time off for the existential agony of the wrong candidate being elected to absolutely nonsensical and convoluted language, the typical university is so far removed from its purpose as to…

Kurt Schlichter is always entertaining, often perceptive, and understands that business-as-usual will drive us quickly into a reincarnation of the miseries of the Soviet Union or the current horrors of Venezuela or Cuba or China. Even better than that is his combative and unapologetic tone with regard to the left, both the squishy, no-nothing fools…

21 years later it is difficult to remember the unity and singlemindedness of purpose that seemed to emerge from the rubble of the terrorist attacks on The World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Aside from the usual suspects on the left and academia (but I repeat myself), the country was singularly focused on a common…

The news out of Balmoral Castle is not good. Queen Elizabeth II, 96 years old and the longest reigning monarch in British history, is under her physicians’ care out of “concern.” Supposedly her family is converging on her summer home in Scotland to be by her side. The traditional understatement of the crown’s public comments…

This is nothing more than Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer spoken by a degenerate apparatchik who stumbled upon his turn at the ultimate political trough of power and graft. Biden has no coherent political philosophy other than the overwhelming desire for power over others, and that is a stark, obvious, axiomatic contrast with the…

I am second to none in my distaste for savage religious-based laws. Steal in Saudi Arabia, and you might just lose a hand. Traffic drugs and you might just lose your head (wait…I sort of like that one). Be drunk in public and you’ll be due a whipping. Proselytize for any religion other than Islam…

The elitist conceit in America is nowhere more evident than in their insistence that their carefully coached and trained and practiced appearance of erudition is a powerful indicator of intelligence. That is a tradition that is no doubt based in Great Britain’s parliamentary history, in which the glories of vigorous and intelligent debate, without the…

Sanctions can be effective in some circumstances, and they can be a powerful geopolitical tool. But sanctioning a product that is fungible and ubiquitous is merely a public relations effort and can have very little influence on reality. Oil is the perfect example, and we need to look no farther than China for a state…

Society has morphed into something unrecognizable in only a few generations. The archetype of “Woman” has shifted away from the feminine…bearing and raising children; running the home; being the necessary counterpoint to the man in the relationship. Unfortunately the shift has pushed women into being some odd and flawed version of the archetypal “Man.” Aggression,…

RUN LIZ RUN! Nothing would please me more than the prospect of Liz Cheney running for president in 2024. She would attract a portion of the virulently-anti-Trump money from all the usual suspects, and would crash and burn spectacularly after a few months. It used to be that our society did not reward catastrophic failure,…
