On October 1st, with little fanfare, Politico published an extraordinary opinion piece that may be the most important thing I’ve read all year. Titled “Americans Increasingly Believe Violence is Justified if the Other Side Wins,” the essay was penned by three “senior fellows” at the Hoover Institution, New America, and the Hudson Institute, as well as a professor of “political communication” at Louisiana State University and a professor of government at the University of Maryland (that’s five authors, in case you lost count). The major takeaway is presented in the graph that appears below:&nbs ..read more

A Straightforward Path to a Peaceful and Lawful Dissolution. On this 4th of July, it is imperative for historical Americans to not only recall the Independence Days of years gone by, once one of the most joyful and exuberant days of the summer calendar, but to also reflect upon the terrible sacrifices willingly made by those who fought for a free and independent country. And even more fittingly, as we look out upon the desolation of a bereft nation, we historical Americans need to meaningfully engage for the orderly dissolution of this post-American USA, with at least one historical American r ..read more

“Then who do we shoot?”   Like Muley Graves the sharecropper, John Steinbeck’s evocative Okie everyman in John Ford’s 1940 film, many Americans are bewildered by a tidal wave of forces that seem beyond their control. The answer is not easy. But increasingly it seems likely to involve geographical partition. Facing eviction from his dust-bowl farm, Muley confronts a man on a bulldozer who has come to demolish the shack Muley and his family live in. The sharecropper is determined not to give in and threatens the bulldozer operator with a sho ..read more

Thirty-one years ago, two weeks before Independence Day, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that unsettled a nation still largely recognizable as America. By a 5-4 vote, the Court held in the case Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), that the First Amendment protects “expressive conduct” in the form of burning the U.S. flag. The decision mandated the repeal of laws of 48 states protecting the flag – and the response was volcanic. In the immediate aftermath of the Court’s decision, there was general disbelief and outrage across the land, along with puzzlement that the mere destruction of a r ..read more

The USA has a unique and troubling capacity to be seduced by illogical and transparently false platitudes taken as gospel truth, then using those sophistries to create elaborate collective social fantasies. Few of these deceits is as insidious as the delusional catch-phrase “Diversity is Our Greatest Strength.” Among all sentient creatures, the race riots over the past few days should lay this slogan to rest once and for all. The fires of racial resentment stoked by “progressive” politicians, a racialist media, a pedagogical cadre, and various and sundry “community organizers” cannot be contro ..read more
