As the Lincoln-basher in residence, I suppose I should say a few things about Grant Havers’ article on the subject. Mr. Havers states at the beginning of his article: In the conservative house divided, almost ...
I hold no brief for the tobacco companies and have no shares in them. I detest the habit, perhaps because my father smoked an evil pipe whose product had been well described by James I in his anti-smoking diatribe of 1604, ...
Having sat on a boat for the last five weeks, I’ve had plenty of time to reflect, and reflect I did. Getting old tends to make one look back, nostaligize for that green light of the dock, and, of course, the ...
One probably shouldn"t look to the New York Times for analysis of the ongoing Death of the West; however, Russell Shorto's latest article in the Magazine, "No Babies?" is worth considering, if only because ...
For all practical purposes, we are at war with Iran. One wonders what the White House is waiting for. The EU is in the bag. Capitol Hill, taking its cue from AIPAC, plus all the front-running presidential contenders of both ...
My instinctive reaction to what had just happened and indeed to the events of the day itself, was, of course, to head straight for the minibar. I found it lurking underneath the T.V on the right hand side of the room, a ...
At first read, Scott McConnell's review of Mark Krikorian's The New Case Against Immigration"Both Legal and Illegal seems like a rather courteous, and not particularly surprising, examination of the volume. McConnell ...
“Diplomacy has failed,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told AIPAC, “Iran is on the verge of becoming nuclear and we cannot afford that.” “We have to contemplate the final option,” said ...
This election cycle was an even bigger missed opportunity than 2000. The issues Pat Buchanan ran on"foreign policy, trade, and immigration"are all more salient now than they were eight years ago. Not only are ...
There is an inexplicable, but somehow widely held, belief that stock market movements are predictive of economic conditions. As such, the current rally in U.S. stock prices has caused many people to conclude that the ...
On September 11, a number of Flemish politicians from the Vlaams Belang [Flemish Interest] party were arrested for attending a banned rally protesting "The Islamization of Europe." As pictures and videos that ...
The furor raised over John Zmirak’s eminently sensible posts “The VDare Monologues” (84 comments, as I write this) and “Rejecting Racialism” (57 comments) has convinced me that the time has ...
When is a terrorist killer actually a terrorist who has just happened also to kill? When the authorities say so, obviously. The man charged with stabbing to death three young children in Southport was making ricin and ...
“Scientists say they’ve finally found proof of the afterlife,” announced the top story in Mail Online this week, alongside the U.S. election. Heartwarming, reassuring, utterly stupid stories about death—running at ...

There are only four dependably anti-war Republicans in Congress: Ron Paul, Walter Jones, John Duncan, and Wayne Gilchrest. Paul has won 10 successive congressional elections and will most likely have little trouble ...

Before President Obama even landed at Andrews Air Force Base, returning from his mission to Copenhagen to win the 2016 Olympic Games, Chicago had been voted off the island. Many shared the lamentation of Indiana Gov. ...
After a year as bad as 2008, trying to imagine what God’s permissive will—or incipient wrath—has in store for us this year seems almost churlish, or masochistic. Should I lay out a series of catastrophic ...

In one of his best TAC columns, Fred Reed took issue with the kind of contrived story telling engaged in by many of the practitioners of so-called "evolutionary psychology," including one fellow, whom Reed came ...
Would it surprise you to hear that the New York Times has managed an economics fail? Again? No, I suppose it probably wouldn’t but you will at least be interested in finding out which part of the dismal science ...
Public confidence in Congress has plummeted to the lowest level of any institution since Gallup began asking the question in 1973. One-half of all Americans have little or no confidence in the Congress. Only 11 percent ...
