If you didnāt hear about the social and medical catastrophe that occurred at Stafford Hospital, in the English Midlandsāa disaster that claimed some 1,200 livesāthen you must have been following the U.S. news media.Ā The Stafford experience should be a nightmarish wake-up call for Americans, and a crushingly definitive argument in the nationās debate over...

On and On With the Way We Are Now
When it comes to be once understood that politics is a game; that those who are engaged in it but act a part; that they make this or that profession, not from honest conviction or intent to fulfill it, but as the means of deluding the people, and through that delusion to acquire powerĀ ....
Real Female Athletes Unite!
I played on the European tennis circuit during the late 1950s, ranking number three in Greece. But donāt be too impressed. Unlike todayāwhen Greek players rank fourth internationally in menās tennis and sixth in womenāsāGreece was hardly a tennis power, and I was ranked among the lowest in Europe. In 1957, the American player...
Papagueria: I
“The whole place would be abandoned if it weren’t an Indism reservation,” Bernard Fontana was saying, “like so much of rural America these days. There are a lot of people on the reservation who wake up in the morning knowing that what they’re going to do today isn’t worth sh-t. That may be true of...
The Misnomer of Marxism
American institutions have beenĀ allegedly occupied by Marxists who are waging a war against the āAmerican Revolution,ā according to conservative commentator Mark Levin. Demonstrating how this alleged occupation occurred is at the core of Levinās American Marxism, a work driven to the top of the bestseller list by conservative book clubs and Fox News. Ā ...
Might Have Been
President George W. Bush addresses the American people on September 13, 2001 My fellow Americans, As the whole world is now aware, we have suffered the most devastating attack on civilians to take place on our soil since General Sherman destroyed Atlanta and Columbia in the later stages of the War Between ...
The Magnetic Chain of Humanity
As Alan Wolfe noted in a broadside published in The New Republic in 2003, the study of American literature, especially in American Studies programs at our major universities, has, since the 1970ās, become little more than a vituperative exercise in anti-American polemics. Largely a confabulation of Latino, Native American, African-American, feminist, āqueer,ā and āwhitenessā theorists...
Tally and Record
The Immigration and Naturalization Service announced last June that to “regain control of the border” the INS will now begin to deport and possibly jail aliens and smugglers entering our country illegally. If you’re wondering whether this hasn’t been INS policy all along, think again. In the Southwest, repeat offenders have traditionally been released just...
A Most Consequential Presidency
As Donald Trump is about to be nominated for a second term, how his presidency has already altered the orientation of his party is on display. Under Trump, the GOP ceased to be a party of small government whose yardstick of success was how close it came to a balanced budget. Trump signed on, this...
The Lessons of In Amenas
Ā Last weekās attack on the Algerian gas facility at In Amenas was the most elaborate jihadist assault ever conducted on African soil. It was also the most spectacular action of its kind since November 2008, when Islamic terrorists carried out a series of coordinated shooting and bombing attacks in Bombay (aka āMumbaiā), Indiaās largest...
The Virtues of Property
Somewhere deep in their bones, Americans recognize that property is the paramount civil rightāperhaps the paramount human right. Anyone who seriously studies American history, particularly that of the late 18th century, will discover that property, along with virtue, provided the foundation for American government. Indeed, the preservation of properly is arguably the chief reason we...
Infelix Culpa?
āThe oldest sins the newest kind of ways . . . ā āWilliam Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 2 Ā Kingsley Amis called him āGrim Grin,ā an apt name for a novelist who aggressively insisted that the path to God runs through the wilderness of lust, degradation, deceit, and betrayal. Like his spiritual ancestor, Nathaniel Hawthorne,...
The True ‘White Privilege’
The left talks often about so-called white privilege. Being āwhiteā is a privilege, in that it is a privilege to be a biological, spiritual, and moral heir of the best civilization the world has known, from the Old Testament and Homer via Rome and Constantinople, via the leftward turn of the Renaissance and the heresy...
A World Lit Only by Blue Light
A new, postmodern feudalism is emerging in which a mass society of serfs willingly enslaves itself to digital devices.
Emily and The Feminists
The centennial marking the death of the poet Emily Dickinson, on May 15, 1886, slipped quietly by a couple of years ago without noticeable effect on the national consciousness. The media in general, from the Sunday supplements to the guardians of culture on PBS television, were not, on the whole, visibly impressed. It was an...
But Why the “Red Flag” of Revolution?
I have never been a flag-waver, nor felt much sympathy for howling mobs, particularly when bent on destruction. But since this year, 1989, marks the bicentennial of the world’s first and most influential revolution (there is hardly a revolutionary notion or motif that cannot be traced back to Danton, Robespierre, Marat, Babeuf, and their spiritual...
R.I.P., Mr. Chairman
David A. Hartman passed from this life on November 24, at the age of 79.Ā Though it has been some time since his writing appeared in these pages, Mr. Hartmanās influence will be felt as long as Chronicles remains in print.Ā As his close friend, collaborator, and fellow board member Tom Pauken rightly noted in...
Stylish Mendacity
A wash in reviews of Cornwell’s portrait of Pius XII, I felt surfeited by the book even before it arrived in the mail. To call this biography unflattering is meiosis. John Lukacs is right to say that, while Cornwell’s production is being featured by the History Book of the Month Club, history itself is what...

Meloni’s Normality Is Too Much for the New Totalitarians
The āfascistā label is now used by the real totalitarians to attack anyone who does not toe the woke line to the T. New Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is the latest recipient of the leftās favorite misnomer.
When the Wolves Get Religion
Letter From Turkey The city of Istanbul reflects Turkeyās transformation over the past decade. Almost eight years after my previous visit I am greeted by an impressive new international terminal at the AtatĆ¼rk International AirportāEuropeās seventh busiestāand by the massive office towers and apartment complexes surrounding it. According to ...
Sochi Olympics: About Russia With Hate
The American mainstream media’s coverage of the Sochi Olympics has been more concerned with bashing Russia and Vladimir Putin than with analyzing the performance of athletes and teams.Ā Even previously non-political magazines like ESPN started coming out with vehemently anti-Putin articles.Ā As if on cue from the White House, the American media started an anti-Russian...
Conservatives Back Gay Marriage
Ā A great deal of ink is being spilled on the two Supreme Court cases taking up same-sex marriage, but the effect is rather like the ink released by a cuttlefish to cloud the vision of its enemies.Ā To anticipate my conclusion, let me go on record as saying that family-values conservatives have done vastly...
Bernie & Joe: Two Old White Males Take the Lead
In 2018, a record turnout of women, minorities and young added 40 House seats to Democratic ranks and made Nancy Pelosi speaker. This, we were told, is the new diversity coalitionāwomen, people of color, millennialsāthat will take down The Donald in 2020. So, how has the Democratic field sorted itself out half a year later?...
The Elusive Conflict
Of the making of Civil War books there shall be no end.Ā There are so many, most of which cover the same bloody ground in much the same slogging way, without any new insight or contribution.Ā To make matters worse, American historians have rewritten the war as a simplistic moral melodrama between the forces of...
Christmas, Texas
I am fumbling in the console, looking for my Jim Reeves Christmas CD, when I notice the wall of rolling, gray clouds approaching from the east.Ā The sun is sliding slowly beneath the horizon in the west, shooting shards of orange-red hues into the purple-blue sky, presenting a striking contrast to the dark gray wall,...
Catching a Snake
The Council of Europe published a report on December 15 that identifies Kosovoās āprime ministerā Hashim ThaƧi as the boss of a āmafia-likeā Albanian group specializing in smuggling weapons, drugs, people, and human organs all over Europe. The report reveals that ThaƧiās closest aides were taking Serbs across the border into Albania after the 1999...
What the Editors Are Reading
Courtesy of our Westminster correspondent, Freddy Gray, who kindly sent me the book from London as an unexpected present, Iām nearly through Fathers and Sons: The Autobiography of a Family, by Alexander Waugh, the son of the late journalist Auberon Waugh, grandson of Evelyn, and himself a classical-music critic (ironic, as Evelyn Waugh loathed music...
The Indians Who Never Were
Portland and Seattle have developed sizeable communities of disaffected leftists who are antagonistic toward everything that is traditional America.Ā Hundreds of young folks are ready at a momentās notice to flood into the streets to protest the offense du jour.Ā They block traffic, vandalize cars and stores, break windows, start fires, and attack people.Ā They...
On School Vouchers
Lew Rockwell (“Flies in the Ointment,” September) and I have the same ultimate objective: “an educational market in which parents are responsible for paying for their own children’s education.” We agree also on the “twin evils of public education: involuntary funding and compulsory attendance.” In our ideal (libertarian) world, government would play no role in...
Death in the Afternoon
In the 16th century, Spain was the wonder of Europe, with her vast empire in Latin America and the Philippines and her wealthy possessions in the southern Netherlands and Italy.Ā She came close to defeating and ruling England and Holland and, for a time, annexed Portugal with her colonial empire in Africa, Asia, and Brazil.Ā ...
Faith-Based Immigration
Attempting to make dinner conversation at a May 2004 refugee contractorsā conference, I speculated about the chances of Serbs, now hounded and persecuted in Kosovo, coming to America on the U.S. refugee program.Ā In the last ten years, the percentage of Serbs in the Serbian province of Kosovo has declined from over ten percent to...
Thatās Life: The Changing Face of Board Games
On the first page of The Death of the West, Patrick Buchanan proclaims that āAmerica has undergone a cultural and social revolution.ā He argues that opinions, beliefs, and values have, in the last generation, been altered by elites using TV, the arts, educational institutions, and various avenues of entertainment to transmit their ideas. One of...
Public Enemy Number One
Every year, on or near the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands of Americans go to Washington, D. C., to join the March for Life and protest that infamous decision.Ā The March for Life is peaceful and orderly, and every year the major media outlets contrive to pretend it doesn’t exist.Ā Until this...
When Hollywood Rode Right
Although Hollywood is now considered a monolithic bastion of leftist, āwokeā political and cultural sentiment with almost no dissent tolerated, it was not always that way. Though Tinseltown was never a haven for conservative and traditionalist cinema, actors, and screenwriters, 60 years ago a person could still be on the right and have a career...
An Unleashed Feminine Mystique is Destroying Higher Education
The general feminization of Western society has had many negative effects, not least of which is the poisoning of intellectual discourse.Ā Research showsĀ that men tend to act asĀ warriors, who emphasize winning and proving points; women tend to be empathetic, and place far greater value on peopleās feelings. But feelings have no business in academia. Intellectuals should...
Donald Trump Is Our Eraās āGray Championā
According to the āgeneration theoryā of history, an elder leader emerges during a once-in-a-lifetime crisis. At stake in the current crisis is whether America will continue as a constitutional republic.
State’s Wrongs
Chilton Williamson, Jr.ās column āPragmatic Destructionā (Whatās Wrong With the World, December 2011) attacks American democracy with a vengeance.Ā He seems to be bothered by the fact that Southern blacks were āfreedā (his quotation marks) by civil-rights laws through the negation of āstatesā rightsā (my quotation marks).Ā I donāt see how restricting a certain class...
In Defense of Conspicuous Consumption
After my March letter, “Three Days in Sodom, Two in Gomorrah,” readers of this magazine have written to ask why I am so down on conspicuous consumption. I want to go on record here: I am not. But even a gourmand should disapprove of gluttony, since pleasure exists only insofar as it is subject to...
Virginia’s Creeping Authoritarianism
The scene before our eyes resembled something from a disaster film. Roadblocks, fencing, sanitized police checkpoints, sniperās nests, vehicles loaded with heavy-duty surveillance equipment darting through the streets as an armored vehicle called The Rook lurched onto the field. An armored track vehicle built on a Caterpillar chassis, The Rook is armed with a hydraulic...
Time to Start Naming Names
To survey the state of the American rightāits friends, its enemies, its controversiesāis to be nearly convinced we are living in Nietzscheās nightmare world of āeternal recurrence.āĀ The current battle for the soul of the āStupid Partyā is an eerie reenactment of the battle that engulfed the GOP in 1963-64, with a different Romney as...
The Truth About Republicans and Hispanics
Saying “I told you so” is never very polite, but sometimes, especially when trying to explain things to the Republican Party, it’s advisable to say it. For the last year or so, the Republicans and their pet eggheads have been telling each other that they had just better shut up about immigration, immigration reform, and...
The Fire This Time
Ā “You’ve damaged your own race,” said Mayor Michael Nutter to the black youths of Philadelphia whose flash mobs have been beating and robbing shoppers in the fashionable district of downtown. “Take those God-darn hoodies down,” the mayor went on in his blistering lecture. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt, ’cause no one...
Thank You for Smoking
A wise man once observed that the existence of a nation requires that many things be forgottenāin particular, those things that divide its people. Maybe that’s why the South never made it. Black and white Southerners have had their little disagreements in the past, of course, and so have flatlanders and hillbillies, rednecks and gentry....
Party of One
Herbert Hoover once praised the “American system of rugged individualism.” (This was the same Hoover who gave Americans a trial run of New Deal socialism.) The ideology of individualism is a classic piece of 19th-century claptrap. Once upon a time, people could speak of freedom and liberty without erecting an “ism” or “ology,” but as...
The Primacy of Privacy
People forget, in an age of promotion, self-promotion, publicity, advertising, the internet, and social media, that personal privacy is essential not only to civility but to civilization.Ā Today, as never before in history, the maintenance of privacy depends on the moral fortitude to resist intrusion by others and the self-restraint and tact not to intrude...
Crazy Russian No More
A quarter of a century ago, when I started writing for this magazine, I was the Russian.Ā Along with the sense of exclusivity it afforded, that simple tag gave its owner a clear run through the 1980ās and 90ās on both sides of the Atlantic.Ā I was the only Russian in any crowd, whether as...
Highest HonorāUntil Now
The Congressional Medal of Honor (CMH) is our nation’s highest award for valor under fire. The criteria are stiff: a deed of such exceptional bravery that failure to do it would draw no criticism; two eye-witnesses; and, above all, the risk of life. In our nation’s history, we have awarded only 3,427 such medals. Of...
Philosophy in an Old Key
In the ancient world no one could talk or read too much about philosophy. Wealthy Athenian nobles, Plato and Xenophon, for instanceāeven Roman emperors, like Marcus Aureliusālived for the hours they could devote to philosophical discourse. The pagan’s conversion to philosophy was as important to him as conversion to Christ was for a Christian. When...
Pope John Paul II, R.I.P.
By any standard, the life of Pope John Paul II was extraordinary.Ā Born in a small town in a country that had been the plaything of dynasts for centuries before his birth, and which became the target of historyās bloodiest tyrants during his adult years, Karol Wojtyla became the first non-Italian pope in nearly five...
