The Folly of Anti-Woke “Social Distancing”

Deadlines are an unforgiving mistress. Every now and then I’ll see something right after my column posts that makes me regret not having been able to include it. For example, last month, in my piece about the manufactured controversy in Texas regarding “teaching both sides of the Holocaust,” ...

White People Anxiety Disorder

Over the years I’ve devoted a lot of text in this column to the “perpetrators” of America’s decline. The “intellectuals,” the billionaire donors, the think-tankers. But it’s important to remember that there’s just so much the perpetrators can do without the ground-level true ...

Well, You Finally Got Tired of Losing

Last week was a good one, so it’s kind of dickish to make fun, but it’s really amusing how quickly some of you went from, in 2016, “We’re gonna get tired of winning,” to nervously awaiting the Youngkin/McAuliffe results sweating bullets, fingers nervously crossed, “Oh please please ...

“Demographics Is Destiny”? Well…

Every time I write about my positive experiences attending black L.A. public schools in the early 1980s, I get pushback. Sometimes gentle pushback from friends, sometimes angry pushback from furious, red-faced men. To stitch together two themes I’ve touched upon recently—the use of ...

“Both Sides Now” (in the Key of Auschwitz)

I’m growing increasingly annoyed at the “demographics is destiny” trope. Not because it’s incorrect (it isn’t), but because more and more it’s being used as a crutch. “Death’s coming to us all.” That’s a 100% true statement. But if you invoke it as a reason to smoke ten packs a ...

And a Child Shall Mislead Them

This week, we take a focused look at how the West’s most destructive superstition can grip the mind of even the most strident “rationalist,” and what that means for those of us who don’t partake in the séance. Penn Jillette, the tall half of the hugely successful magician duo Penn & ...

Brain Drain: Gain or Bane?

Last week’s column covered America’s ongoing march toward a dystopic antiwhite apartheid from the perspective of quisling whites. This week, I’ll stick with the apartheid theme, but from a different angle. Let’s take a trip back to Nazi Germany. There was a period between 1933 and the ...

Earth-Salter Apartheid

Sometime in the early 1990s a friend suggested that I watch a movie called The Handmaid’s Tale. I was vaguely aware of the book...I knew it was authored by some ugly old bat from Canada, and honestly you couldn’t have paid me enough to read it. But I have a fondness for dystopian sci-fi, and my ...

Aborting Trumpism

Sometimes you wish that a certain group of people were never taught a certain phrase. In 1997, when O.J. Simpson ran afoul of a civil trial, the geniuses in the press decided to teach ghetto L.A. the term “double jeopardy,” because provoking underclass blacks by making them think (falsely) that ...

Fatalism Attraction Part II: Scrotal Recall

So what went wrong with the California recall? Oh, not much. Just everything. In last week’s column I predicted that a Newsom victory was assured. And I explained why a contest that was polling neck and neck a month ago was now a certain Democrat win. Turns out “win” was an understatement. ...
