President Trump’s war on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), critical race theory, and racial preferences is a far-reaching battle. It is also an economic “war” on blacks, especially middle-class blacks who benefit from the racial spoils system. If successful, its impact will be huge. One might recall President Woodrow Wilson, who fired all black federal... Read More
Donald Trump is finding out.
This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, Odysee, Telegram, and X. Is racial discrimination in hiring legal? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 says no. You can’t “refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual” based on “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” And yet, 61 years...

When asked about stranded astronauts at a recent company meeting, Ted Colbert, the head of Boeing’s space and security unit said “I ain’t even know what you be talkin’ ’bout, muthafukkah, bitch ass.” He then began grabbing his crotch and moving around erratically, saying “muh dick, muthafuggah.” He then pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and...

One good thing about the judiciary in former communist Europe was that no one, including party apparatchiks, believed its fraudulent language. This was the main reason the system collapsed. Court proceedings against political dissidents – officially dubbed “hostile elements” or “Western-sponsored fascist infiltrators” – were make-believe travesties where prosecutors projected their real Self into their...

A patriot, according to customary definition, is someone who vigorously supports their nation and is prepared to defend it at all costs. A patriot is also someone who believes in the essential goodness or rightness of their country, particularly when it is at war. Americans are generally known to be a deeply patriotic people and...

In theory, the Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. In practice, it was, like Steven Farron predicted on this website, a “catastrophe.” In essence, the Supreme Court told employers, colleges, and other institutions that want to racially discriminate against whites and Asians that they simply need to disguise...

Diversity is our greatest strength. But basically, it’s going to kill everyone, because women and brown people are totally incapable of maintaining the technological civilization that white men built.

Thoughts on some recent debates surrounding the proper response to wokeism
In recent weeks, the hot topic of discussion in the dissident right has been the merits of meritocracy. More specifically, debate has centered around the question of whether supporting a “colourblind meritocracy” in Western, multiracial societies may be a good way to restore the dominance of White people over their homelands and curtail the radical...

The reason we need to tell the truth about race is very simple: Without race realism, there is no compelling argument why racial disparities exist. There is a saying that the woke are more correct than the mainstream. That is certainly true when it comes to race. This is because leftists at least recognize racial... Read More
Not a few people have noted that the impressive speed with which Black Harvard President Claudine Gay’s academic reputation has been nuked since she irritated the Israel Lobby. Being able to produce all this obscure information so quickly strongly suggests it had been stockpiled. Which in turn raises the question: upon who else have files... Read More

Few phenomena outside of the physical sciences follow iron laws, but here’s an exception: whites suffer under black rule. It’s the same, whether in post-colonial sub-Sahara Africa or American cities. The effect may take some time, but it remains an iron law, and unlike arcane scientific laws, the confirming evidence is everywhere. No need to... Read More

The Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action in college admissions met with dismayed, hostile and sarcastic reactions from intellectuals, meaning the media, academics and others who make a living out of conveying ideas to the public.[1] This was predictable, but why are they like this? Why do intellectuals support affirmative action?[2] Many do so out... Read More

The Supreme Court has decided in favor of the Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) and has ruled that academic racial discrimination is unconstitutional. In my book The Affirmative Action Hoax, I warned that such a decision would be catastrophic, since universities will respond by eliminating all objective criteria for admission.

Just over three years ago, a black lifelong criminal named George Floyd died of an apparent drug-overdose in Minneapolis police custody. This might seem a very minor incident of little importance.

By most accounts, the 6-3 Supreme Court decision striking down the Affirmative Action policies of Harvard University and other American colleges seems considerably stronger and more expansive than many had expected. Although it is difficult to predict exactly how this legal precedent will play out, the victory of these Asian plaintiffs may mark a major... Read More
There is much weeping and gnashing of teeth because the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against “affirmative action.” Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Kentanji Brown Jackson dissented. The objection by the latter two justices is not surprising. It’s hard to believe they would be Supreme Court justices, judges, or perhaps even lawyers were it not... Read More

There is a peculiar paradox in contemporary race relations: the more government struggles to achieve equality, the more it fails, and with mounting failures comes yet more coercion to repress those who tell the truth. This makes little logical sense. After all, silencing skeptics and twisting reality might have been necessary in the 1950s and... Read More

Here come the junkies and crack hos. This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee.

The United State Supreme Court is now considering two cases that could result in a ruling that it is unconstitutional for universities to consider race or ethnicity in admissions decisions. Such a ruling would be catastrophic. Every university will react by diminishing or completely abandoning objective academic criteria for university admission. This process is already... Read More

Contrary to widespread expectations, Republican gains in last week's midterm elections were absolutely minimal, nothing at all like the "red wave" that so many had predicted.

Thanks to the Supreme Court, the policy of racial preferences (affirmative action) is back in the news. Preferences have been around for a half century, so the pro and con arguments are well established. On the pro side, preferences are justified by the alleged advantages of “diversity,” while opponents say they are illegal, unfair, and... Read More

On Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments on a potentially momentous case challenging the use of race in admissions decisions at Harvard University and our other academic institutions.
