CHRONICLES ONLINE
A Day of Infamy in Europe

Our Un-American ‘Justice’ System
The U.S. criminal justice system is on the side of the illegal alien criminal and his judicial coddlers, not Americans.
Meloni Contra Mundum
The election of Italy’s new right-wing nationalist prime minister, Giorgina Meloni, is a rebuke to the woke liberal democratic system and its political-theological nerve center in Washington, D.C.
Putin’s Hesitant Mobilization
The limited mobilization of Russian troops in the Ukraine conflict is the natural result of Putin’s hesitant and risk-averse leadership. It makes sense only if it is the first step toward total mobilization, both military and economic.
Biden Commits US to War for Taiwan
The United States will go to war to defend Taiwan if China invades the mainland. That is the commitment made last week by President Joe Biden.
Smyrna: A Melancholy Centennial
The 1922 massacre of Greeks at the ancient city of Smyrna was the bitter final blow in a long century of Turkish-Muslim persecution of the Christians in Asia Minor.
Frank Meyer’s Fusionism and the Search for Consensus Among Conservatives

President Biden’s recent attack on MAGA Republicans is typical of leftists who resent Middle America.

The officially approved “left” and “right,” although riven in apparent conflict, in fact represent little more than a debate between managerial styles. The real class struggle today is between the supporters and the critics of the Western managerial-therapeutic regime.
Where Is the Right’s Marc Elias?
The right has no moral stomach for a ruthless fight, but in politics, that is what it takes to win.
The Democrats’ Stay-at-Home Campaign Strategy
For the Democrats, it is no longer even necessary to produce sentient candidates. Our media will invent made-to-order “progressives” and, if necessary, carry them across the electoral finish line, while their opponents are belittled or kept from public view.
Mikhail Gorbachev: Failed Politician
Mikhail Gorbachev was perhaps the most abject failure among late 20th-century leaders. He let a destructive genie out of the bottle that led to NATO’s eastward expansion and laid the groundwork for the war in Ukraine.
