[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Shall I always remember where I was and what I was doing when I got the news about the Trump assassination attempt last Saturday? Probably not; I can't remember my kids' names. For the record, though, I was at the desk in my study... Read More
Here’s something written earlier on VDARE.com: Even more culpable than the Democrats in the ongoing humiliation and abuse of the real Joe Biden is his wife and ne’er-do-well son. If the Bidens loved their husband and father, they would not allow this to happen to him. How can we not see this situation for what... 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
With Eugene Volokh, founder of The Volokh Conspiracy seemingly fading away, the dominant voice at the website has become that of the far cruder and openly ethnocentric Ilya Somin. Somin is also a Russian Jewish immigrant but arriving at the age of 5 he did better expropriating the fruits of American higher education, holding degrees... Read More
For V-E Day a friend sent me a link to the full-length YouTube showing of Twelve O'Clock High, a 1949 movie about World War 2. From the storyline at IMDb: I don't know why I got through those 75 years without ever seeing Twelve O'Clock High. If I mention it to friends of my own... Read More

Late in the evening earlier this month I stood at the heart of the campus of one of America’s great universities, marveling at the generosity of the American business community in building and rebuilding so extensively. Then I noticed that all the young people I saw around were Chinese. After further inspection some Indians and... Read More

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: We’re once again cross-posting Occidental Dissent’s Hunter Wallace, this time his powerful speech to the 20th Anniversary Celebration for James Edwards’ The Political Cesspool radio show. Wallace very kindly gives me, the great Pat Buchanan and several other VDARE.com writers credit for inspiring and informing him politically over the last... Read More
James Fulford writes: This was written in 1989 by Peter Brimelow while he was still a British subject living in New York, to explain the American gun issue to the readers of the London Times. It covers two violent periods in American history—the nationwide “peace” riots that supported the Viet Cong—and led to Peter himself... Read More
Earlier by Jared Taylor: Video, Text, And Pictures: Spitting On Dead Confederates—And America James Fulford writes: Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, spoke at the VDARE 2024 Conference on Confederate Memorial Day—still an official holiday in some states.

This is the introduction by James Kirkpatrick to the book Esoteric Trumpism, by Constantin von Hoffmeister [Tweet him] available from Arktos Press, reprinted by permission. More than degeneracy, more than decline, the current epoch looked fated to be an Age of Exhaustion. The great danger is not that intellectuals and politicians have given in to... Read More
Earlier, by Peter Brimelow: Trump’s Indictment—Like I Said, This Is A Communist Coup “Power can only be resisted by power—and tendency by tendency,” said John C. Calhoun in A Disquisition on Government. Clearly the best political thinker America ever produced, Calhoun has been driven out of public memory due to the “Racial Reckoning”—not least because...

[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
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] As I write this, I hear food preparation noises—the clatter of pots and pans, perhaps. That's because this evening, February 9th, is Chinese New Year's Eve (the Language Police now demand we call it Lunar New Year) so there is some serious food prep... Read More
The scandalous behavior of New York State’s legal bureaucracy in the matter of President Trump’s real estate victimless non-crime has attracted widespread derision: You Don’t Have to Love Trump to Laugh at Letitia James’s ‘Fraud’ Case, by John Tamny, Forbes.com, November 9, 2023. Recently, AP posted a definitive analysis: Dissolving Trump’s business empire would stand... Read More
I love my country but I don’t much like my state. If I could start over, New York would, from what I know of the other forty-nine, rank very low in my preferences for a state to live in—down in the mid-forties, I’m pretty sure. A criminal-coddling, corrupt Governor competing with Gavin Newsom in clueless... Read More

Over the last several years, I have written reviews of books that have greatly influenced my thinking on race and politics. These include classics such as Paved With Good Intentions, Alien Nation and The Dispossessed Majority. One book that influenced me—though not in the same way as these other books—is not a classic but does... Read More

On June 13, 1943, a B-17 bomber exploded over Germany during a raid on the U-Boat bunker at Kiel. Aboard the plane was the first American general to be killed in action during World War II: Nathan Bedford Forrest III, great grandson of the brilliant, now vilified Confederate cavalry hero. Nathan Bedford Forrest III was... Read More

Where man’s justice has failed God’s justice appears to have triumphed. Four violent “antifascists” who rioted during the 2017’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville have died since then. All four attacked UTR protesters on August 12 and three of them, William Corey Lovell, Robert “Bo” Mellado, and Caeden Famiglio were at the August 11... Read More
People grumble about the corny old Christmas music played in department stores and other public places at this time of year. Not me: I love it. A lot of the voices I’m hearing are those that made an impression on me back in my childhood and early teen years, when I was most impressionable. Eartha... Read More

This month, November 2023, marks [sic] a hundred years since the peak of the hyperinflation that afflicted Germany after World War One. In my English adolescence I knew an elderly couple of Silesian Jews, the ”Kellermans,” who had themselves been adolescents in Germany when hyperinflation hit. They had lurid tales about it: kitchen cabinets stuffed... Read More
Killers of the Flower Moon is the biggest-budget movie ever made in my home state of Oklahoma. Filmed in Osage County with its beautiful, rolling prairie, the movie is based on David Grann’s book, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. The book and film explore the murders... Read More
Earlier: September Charlottesville Roundup: Invictus, Other Cases “Screaming For Judicial Redress“ On November 1, a hearing in the circuit court of Albemarle County VA will let us know whether the state’s judicial system, or at least its 16th Judicial District, is hopelessly politically corrupt. At issue: a motion from Unite the Right Tiki Torch protester... Read More
The hashtag #roman empire has reportedly been viewed over a billion times on TikTok, with most videos women asking men the question: How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

Lee statue that was similarly mugged by Democrat authorities, with... Read More
The other day I gave a passing mention to Adam Ellwanger, Professor of English at the University of Houston. Prof. Ellwanger had posted an excellent piece August 14th at The American Mind on terminological creep, citing as an example the creep from "illegal alien" via "illegal immigrant," then "undocumented person," through to "migrant worker," the...

The 1890s is known as the Mauve Decade. I don't know why it took so long for mauve to sweep the world of fashion; a fabric dye for the color was actually discovered (invented?) in the 1850s. These are the mysteries of sociology. I'm developing a theory that this decade, the 2020s, may be the... Read More

Recently, the Union Jacks hoisted in London for King’s Charles’s coronation were clumsily taken down by reluctant workers, who replaced them with Rainbow Flags, the symbol of the GloboHomo Empire. The height of the British Empire was in the late nineteenth century and the reversal in attitudes since then is mind-blowing. Why were the Victorians... Read More

Fairly recently I signed up for the (free) articles emailed from Grey Goose Chronicles, a Substack written by “Stone Age Herbalist”[Follow him on Twitter].

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Joe Biden's trip to Ireland has been a clown show, putting all the ignorance and folly of our elites on plain display.
