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
[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] I find it harder and harder to watch passing events without Mike Judge's 2006 movie Idiocracy coming to mind. That's especially the case with politics. Politicians have always said dumb things, of course; but in between the dumb things they generally, once in a... Read More
The black-run District of Columbia government has just agreed to pay $1.6 million to people who sued—backed by the ACLU—over being arrested for rioting in the January 20, 2017 riots protesting the election of Donald Trump. This is probably collusive, like "Consent Decrees" and Jacob Frey's $27 million settlement with the Floyd Family in Minneapolis.... Read More

Lessons for the Dissident Right
Throughout 2016, I would occasionally turn on the television to see how the punditocracy was responding to the mounting Trump tsunami. If you get most of your news online, watching cable news is frustrating. The commentary is so dumbed down and painfully reflective of speaker’s biases, you can always basically guess what’s coming next. With... Read More

Left Fights To Recapture Narrative—With Help From NATIONAL REVIEW
Well, that didn’t last long. For a few hours, the Main Stream Media seemed like it would reflect on the results of the presidential election and embark on some serious self-examination about why it missed the rise of Donald Trump, the issues that animated his candidacy, and the vast swathe of Middle American voters who...

St Thomas Aquinas told us that one of the pleasures enjoyed by the blessed in Heaven was to contemplate the sufferings of the damned in Hell. Apparently if you get to Heaven there is a sort of balcony you have access to where you can stand and watch the sinners down below being prodded, scorched,... Read More

These two things happened the day after Donald Trump won the election: First, a Washington Post reporter named Peter Holley called the American Renaissance office to ask–in dead seriousness–whether anyone from the Trump team had called us for policy advice. Second, Gloria Gonzalez-Garcia, a Mexican-American explained to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram what a Trump victory... Read More

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: I spoke at the H.L. Mencken Clubconference in Baltimore last Saturday, November 5. It seems like a thousand years ago. Subject: “The Right and American Conservatism.” Reading the transcript, I see it’s almost as f I thought Donald J. Trump might lose the November 8 election. Silly me. [See also:... Read More

Conservatives are fond of saying, “Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry.” Unfortunately, the same is true of Conservatism Inc. functionaries. They acknowledge conservatives are facing demographic extinction. They admit it is happening because of immigration. But they refuse to listen to the very people who warned them about this. Instead, they... Read More
I earnestly recommend that everyone watch Peter Thiel’s 13-minute address at the National Press Club this morning. He hits a number of nails on the head.

Forget the Clinton emails—the BIG story (89,800 results on Google News as of 11:00 tonight) is that one (1) Trump supporter of the thousands attending his Phoenix rally on Saturday night took the opportunity of the crowd’s chanting “USA! USA!” to yell “Jew-S-A” at the press pen, who seem to have been upset. My own... Read More

A couple of remarks in Professor Susan McWillams’recent Modern Age piece celebrating the 25th anniversary of Christopher Lasch’s 1991 book The True and Only Heaven, which analyzed the cult of progress in its American manifestation, have stuck in my mind. Here’s the first one: McWilliams adds a footnote to that: The 19 percent figure is... Read More

From the start of Donald Trump’s campaign, the media have covered him dishonestly. They haveconsistently portrayed him as a closet “white supremacist” who deliberately appeals to “racists.” They have tried to tie him to a wicked movementknown as the “Alt-Right.” They are now working on another dishonest angle: that Donald Trump is “mainstreaming hate” and...

The GOP Establishment Would Have Sabotaged A “Sane Trump” Too

Immigration Erupts In Final Trump-Clinton Debate
VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: It drives immigration patriots crazy that Donald J. Trump won’t prepare for debates, rarely remembers to raise the immigration issue (but I felt the same way about Pat Buchanan) and generally leaves so many immigration policy tricks on the table. But we should not forget how much better and braver... Read More

[October 18, 2016] Relevant quote from the story: “Democracy Partners called O’Keefe’s video a ‘well-funded, systematic spy operation that is the modern day equivalent of the Watergate burglars.’” What’s this...

“Americans Will Be Nostalgic For Donald Trump’s Moderation.”
We are nearing the climax of a watershed election. The Ruling Class understands that Donald Trump represents a counter-revolution to all they have built up over the last 50 years. That emphatically includes GOP leaders like Speaker Paul Ryan, who hastened not merely to step on Trump’s bounce back in the second debate by announcing... Read More

Turn Presidential Election Into Referendum On National Question
Donald Trump was visibly seething as Hillary Clinton and her pet journalists“moderating” the second presidential debate piled on. In what was turning intomore of a roast than a debate, it looked like we were going to get 90 minutes of Trump being hammered for talking bawdy in a private conversation more than a decade ago....

Why Snobs Like Charles Murray Won’t Vote For Trump (Despite Agreeing With Him)
A friend watched the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton with an older, conservative, Southern, female, relative. She was distressed by the Republican presidential nominee’s style—even though, to my eye, he pulled his punches. Since I have so much in common with Trump, I feel uniquely qualified to explain why she was so... Read More

And Republicans Against Trump Are The Hijackers
There is no next time. This is America’s last chance. Donald Trump uttered this one forbidden truth that the Beltway Right cannot assimilate in his recent comments to CBN’s David Brody: At some level, everyone—even Republican consultants who pretend otherwise when they are on television—already know this. Throughout the 2016 election, we have been presented... Read More
Alan Keys, a typical \"True Conservative\"
The term “true conservative” became a punchline in the 2016 election, after #NeverTrump Conservatism Inc. functionaries constantly said Trump wasn’t a full member of what they apparently regarded as an Esoteric Reagan Mystery Cult.But it wasn’t always this way. “Conservatism” really did mean something once. It still does to the patriot grassroots struggling desperately to... Read More

It must be true, it’s in the New York Times!—an editorial (September 5) denouncing Radix Journal’s Richard B.

How about that Donald Trump, eh? Our man pulled off two—count ’em, two—big political moves in one day this week. He went to Mexicoand met with that country’s President as anapparent equal, and he then hopped over to Arizona and gave a fine thundering speech on immigration, packed with policy specifics. The policy specifics of... Read More

Like Jeb Bush, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine has a phenotype that generates involuntary disgust among normal people. And, like Bush, Kaine is clearly possessed by a deep self-loathing and a hatred for the people to which he belongs. Hillary Clinton has just claimed that all criticism of America’s immigration disaster is inspired by... Read More

“War” was the late Andrew Breitbart’s one-word analysis of how American patriots should treat the Lying Press. It’s a war that’s continued even after his death, under the leadership of Steve Bannon. And, as in all wars, the self-declared guardians of “true conservatism” are eager to call retreat. Leading the charge: the littlest neocon, Ben... Read More

Would Trump’s Defeat Be Blamed On Jews?
Almost exactly a year ago, VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow raised the questionof whether America’s Jewish groups would turn on Donald Trump (who after all has Jewish grandchildren and a lifetime of Jewish business associates) with the hysteria they employed against Patrick J. Buchanan. I have been tracking the matter ever since and the answer is... Read More

And At Least One GOP Establishmentarian Gets Him
You’ve got to hand it to Donald Trump: He’s the anti-Mitt Romney. Remember how spooked Ol’ Mittens was any time the Main Stream Media squealed at something he said? Remember when he endorsed “self-deportation”?—a perfectly sensible and humane concept. If we rigorously enforce the people’s laws on immigration, then illegal aliens won’t be able to... Read More

Even his most stalwart critics have to admit Donald Trump is a masterful troll. So it was nothing short of glorious to see what he said about not backing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in his Wisconsin primary against populist challenger Paul Nehlen. Of course, this was an echo of Speaker Ryan’s saying he... Read More

"Events, dear boy, events,” British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan supposedly said when discussing what political leaders most feared. No politician, however skilled, can predict the future. But they can manage expectations and perceptions. And that’s precisely what Donald Trump did with his masterful speech at the Republican National Convention, creating a confirmation bias through which... Read More

Trump Has Thumbs On Evil Party’s Windpipe (If RATS Don’t Stab Him In The Back)
There’s a reason the Main Stream Media/ Lying Press is obsessing on Melania Trump’s alleged plagiarism/ homage: the Trump convention has its thumbs on the Evil Party’s jugular. It’s amazing how irrelevant Hillary Clinton has already become. In the hours after the murder of three police officers in Baton Rouge, Lousiana, Hillary Clinton was silent.... Read More

—And Her Convention Will Be Worse (Better)
Only a day after another black radical—this time a member of the Nation of Islam—opened fire on white police in Baton Rouge (killing two white officers and one black officer, injuring multiple other white officers), the presumptive nominee for the Democrat Party has doubled down on the idea that racist white police are still out...

The usual suspects tried to break Donald Trump at the beginning of his campaign by destroying his business and ruining him personally. The Donald refused to play by the usual script and didn’t cave. For that reason alone, Americans rallied to him and Trump is now the champion of a voter revolt against the political... Read More

The fight now is not about who will be the next President of the United States. It is about whether the American nation will continue to exist. And this battle pits confrontational conservatives like Donald Trump against anti-American “protesters” working to deny our country a future—in alliance, increasingly blatantly, with the Main Stream Media in...

The geezer election. This month’s main event was the American Renaissance conference, May 20th-22nd. I recorded some observations in the May 27th Radio Derb. Foremost among those observations was the number of young people at the conference. That in turn got me thinking about youth and age as factors in politics. My thinking didn’t arrive... Read More

What accounts for Trump’s relatively poor showing in Wisconsin? There were of course plenty of explanations on offer.

It with some mild embarrassment that I confess I am enjoying this year’s Presidential contest. This is fun. And it’s not just on the Republican side.

I don’t know why professional journalists can’t agree on... Read More
On the night when Hillary Clinton successfully played the racial-socialist card in the South Carolina Democratic primary against the white left-looney Sandersistas, I feel free to begin my reflections on Thursday night’s CNN debate in Houston—I stayed awake, it was entertaining, or at any rate as close to entertaining as politics gets—with a couple of...
