When the War Divides the Movement: Alex Jones, Trump, and the Emerging Case Against Trump

Catastrophism as Weapon: Outlining and Defending Jordan Peterson’s Case

Jordan Peterson's recent Telegraph essay, "Climate change catastrophism is a Leftist weapon to destroy capitalism," arrives at a familiar moment: another summer of heat, another round of moral panic, and another push to treat ordinary modern life, air conditioning, cars, heating, diet, as a species of original sin requiring ever-tighter state overs...

Diversity is Not a Strength: Putnam, the Data, and the Costs We Prefer Not to Name

"Diversity is our strength" functions less as a tested claim than as a conversation-stopper. It is repeated with the confidence of a scientific law, yet the large body of empirical research on ethnic and cultural heterogeneity points in the opposite direction.

The Never-Ending Long March, By Larry Sand

"The purpose of a university should be to make a son as unlike his father as possible."

The Throne and the Blood: Why Managerial Globalism Cannot Rule

When the Mainstream Media Hit Job Missed Malcolm Roberts

 The mainstream media spent a week trying to sink Senator Malcolm Roberts. It failed, and the failure was instructive. According to the usual outlets, Roberts was to be framed as a conspiracy theorist of the more florid variety: chemtrails, 9/11, school shootings, Bondi false flags, the full costume. The method was familiar: mine old podcast a...
