Politics in the modern sense — the muddy search for individual liberty — is dead. Philosophy in the ancient sense — the soul’s longing for eternity heightened through reason into the search for wisdom — is dying. Religious faith in the humane sense — the communal subordination of souls to the shared belief in a being and truth higher than ourselves and our...
Fairly often, readers or other acquaintances inform me that although they may agree with my negative assessment of Donald Trump on its face, they cannot understand why I have thus far failed to recognize the special conditions of this historical moment that require the “grassroots conservative” to adopt a more flexible attitude in order to match Trump’s uniquely flexible style of governance. The...
Donald Trump, who has a great brain, only hires the best people, and believes in surrounding himself with high quality humans, is in the process of decimating his entire administration in the name of correcting all the horrible personnel mistakes he never made. But, as the still semi-rational cult members keep telling us, at least he still has John Kelly. Here’s why… Reporters...
Brandon Morse at RedState has a nice short article explaining the complete hypocrisy of the progressives with their phony “Me too” movement. A teenage contestant on American Idol explained that he had never kissed a girl and was hoping to save himself for a meaningful relationship — at which point a world-famous harlot, “singer” Katy Perry, spoiled his hopes and his hygiene forever....

A few days ago, an editor at the Washington Post contributed an op-ed explaining that although she has never had to face the decision herself, were test results to reveal that her fetus had Down syndrome, she would certainly abort it. After all, she “reasoned,” this would not be the baby she wanted. Progressives everywhere proclaimed this writer’s merciless self-absorption “brave.” This is...
Wonderful news. Sixteen months after being elected President and officially beginning the process of vetting and choosing his cabinet, Donald Trump assures America that he is starting to get this whole White House thingy figured out. “I’m really at a point where we’re getting close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want,” he said, after firing Secretary of State Rex...
In this egalitarian age, the concept of the hero seems as superfluous and out of touch as the pomp and circumstance of the British royal family. Paradoxically, our fetish for equality has combined with our impious self-absorption to turn us into idolaters, rather than hero-worshippers. We have infantile personality cults where in the past mature men admired genuine greatness as a guide for...
Trump created his cult mainly by blustering that he was all for Americans citizens and would protect them from the onslaught of illegal immigrants. Now he gets the same cult cheering by promising to make more of those illegal immigrants into U.S. citizens than even the Democrats wanted, insisting these Mexicans are necessary to fill all the amazing jobs he’s creating. You have...
The state of Florida, responding to pressure from the leftist news media, leftist protesters, and leftist-indoctrinated teenagers, has passed a law supposedly aimed at preventing school shootings like the one in Parkland. The new law is a perfect example of the progressive ratchet in action: Government causes a problem, then decrees that the only solution to the problem is more government. Under this...
So Kim Jong Un, The Baby-Faced Assassin, now supposedly wants to engage in direct denuclearization talks with Donald J. Trump, The Asinine Baby. To make sure Kim gets what he wants out of this — legitimization — and that Trump gets what he wants out of everything — attention — why not do this as a pay-per-view event? Let all the world see...
