[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] On Thursday July 4, our mother nation, the U.K., had a general election for its main legislature, the House of Commons. If one political party wins a majority of seats in the Commons, the leader of that party gets summoned to Buckingham Palace for... Read More
A hot, slow, still month, the only social event of any note a sad one (more later). I trimmed my hedges, mowed my lawn, walked my dog, paid my estimated taxes, showed up for my annual physical. Concerning that last, I went over all the numbers with our family physician. You know the numbers I... Read More
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] We don't get much news out of Iceland. It's another one of those un-newsworthy places, like Uruguay or New Zealand, slumbering in quiet, contented prosperity away from the noise and fuss that prevails elsewhere. When we do get news out of Iceland it's usually... Read More
On June 12, in a shocking development, the Southern Poverty Law Center ($PLC to VDARE.com) announced it was laying off 60 employees, one quarter of its staff, and, in an apparent change of direction, closing some entire operations. My inspection of its financial reports reveals no recent funding shortfall (unfortunately). So what is going on?... Read More
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Pretty much all the news that comes out of our colleges and universities nowadays is unsightly.

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Yesterday, I mentioned David Goldman's scorn in his recent Asia Times piece (Mike Pompeo’s four China mistakes in one sentence, January 31, 2024) for what I called "our foolish and feckless China policy." I was still chuckling over Goldman’s critique when I settled down... Read More
Many people in the West worry that demographic change, fueled by mass migration both legal and illegal, will soon have deteriorated to a point where there will be no stopping or reversing the process. But things can change both ways in a country’s demographic trajectory. And they do so with surprising frequency. Thus a counter-example:... Read More
The result of the recent Dutch general election result is being widely touted as a victory for the “Dutch Trump,” strident anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders [What Geert Wilders' victory means for Dutch society, by Anne Holligan, BBC News, November 25, 2023].

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] The political Left in advanced Western countries is now firmly in the hands of world-saver anti-nationalist activists.

Okay. The Democrat/ Media Complex is trying to destroy Robert F. Kennedy, and smother in the crib his chances of being the party’s nominee for president, this time because he has speculated (in a supposedly off-the-record meeting) that the clear racial differences in susceptibility to Covid-19 may have been due to genetic differences.

I’ve sternly repressed a lot of memories since leaving Britain for the U.S. in 1970, as I wrote when reflecting on the 2017 movie Dunkirk.

The last few days of February of course have us all talking about Russia and Ukraine. My fundamental position on the current fracas is isolationist.

Thirty years ago this month, Communist hardliners in the Soviet Union launched the “August Coup” against Mikhail Gorbachev’s reformist government.
