I hate to start the year with a horror story, but Takimag readers must be told of the hellhole where it took place: New York City, once upon a time the best place to live and have fun in, now accurately described as a dangerous shithole. Actually it’s the people who have turned awful. A homeless ...

I’ve been catching up on my reading of late, and here’s the one and only Papa Hemingway’s advice to writers: “Don’t let them suck you in to start writing about the proletariat, if you don’t come from the proletariat, just to please the recently politically enlightened critics.” Hear, ...

This is my last week in the Bagel and things are looking up. For some of us, that is; for others it’s despair time. No use beating around the bush: Israel has won big-time, Iran has lost big, and the Palestinians are back to ground zero, with nothing to look forward to except more deaths, more ...

No one sober and in their right mind trusts or believes in what is called the media nowadays. Once upon a time the news media in America was highly respected and trusted. It took professional liars who brought down a president who had won the largest majority ever, Richard Nixon, for the public to ...

I’ll report some good news for a change. Perhaps the most important event this year outside the presidential election is the imminent collapse of the so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion con, the poisonous hokum that is finally being exposed as such.

Funny how the Brits are always falling behind the Yanks, as they pejoratively call them. No sooner had the Americans woken up and voted Trump to power, those in Britain wielding power are arresting and jailing people for using...non-woke language, such as “asylum seeker.” Yes, you read that ...

The good news is that the mendacious columnists at The New York Times have committed collective suicide. The bad news is that I just made this up. Portentous phonies like columnists at the Times are shameless, hence they do not commit suicide; what they do instead is sell repellent ideologies to ...

This will fall on deaf ears in the White House, no matter who the new resident will be next year, but here goes anyway: Chinese and Russian analysts are taking note of the United States’ inability to curb Israel or contain the conflict in the Middle East. This of course emboldens President Xi of ...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the main American media includes many homely, bitter, left-leaning women and numerous bald, left-wing, and equally unattractive men. No wonder, then, that Kamala is the media’s favorite and Trump is referred to as Hitler and, in the words of a Quasimodo ...
