On Friday’s Art Thread there was an interesting discussion about whether the art should be judged with the artist in mind… Wagner the man was a rat bastard in many ways but the mother could compose. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler And I responded: And that brings up the larger question of whether is…

Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation is the origin of our national holiday that is so quintessentially American. He was spurred on by Sarah Hale, a magazine editor and ardent campaigner for Thanksgiving as a national event. It is a great unifier, so much so that even expatriates will celebrate it as their link to America. I…

The genius of American Exceptionalism is the conscious rejection of the glacial pace of change in the Old World. Royalty was royalty; farmers were farmers; shopkeepers were shopkeepers; and there was very little movement between those rigidly defined classes. America was different. We disavowed monarchists; we set the stage for a truly equal society, and…

The anger and vitriol directed at President Trump by the Left is a natural progression emerging from their classic game plans to subvert and then destroy the West. Saul Alinsky’s rules are clear, and the Left follows them ruthlessly, with focus and intensity that that seems prima facie evidence of their insanity. After all, who…

Vaccine research and creation is a very old, very mature science. Edward Jenner was the first…in 1796! And 100 years later some frog by the name of Pasteur discovered how to vaccinate against Rabies. Since then there has been an amazing cascade of research resulting in vaccines against some of the most awful scourges of…

Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics: Everyone is conservative about what he knows best. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.

You want to talk about diversity? How about the United States Armed Forces? They have been following a policy of “inclusiveness” and minority outreach– and whatever other silly buzzwords and phrases you can think of — for many years. Distribution of active-duty enlisted women and men in the U.S. Military in 2018, by race and…

It’s an interesting prediction, but it is pandering to the multicultural crap that has been shoved down our throats for far too long. The reality is that in this country we can divide the population into two sectors…productive and unproductive. That is independent of color or ethnicity or genitalia or whatever method the Left uses…

It is tempting to lash out and agitate for the most aggressive and combative reactions to what is almost certainly a concerted effort to subvert the rule of law and steal the votes of millions of Americans. It is ironic that the Left in America has accused the Republican party of disenfranchisement for two generations,…

In the onslaught of miserable news and rumor and unfounded claims, this should make you smile. Hard on the heels of his catastrophic and incredibly expensive failed presidential bid, little Mikey Bloomberg pissed away another $100,000,000 on an arrogant attempt to sway the voters of three states that guns are bad, Trump is worse, America…
