Parenting and the State
In my day, and my day was not so very long ago, boys respected and even feared the fathers of the girls whom they dated. Growing up, I went out with a lot of Italian girls. I knew that their fathers ruled their households, their daughters, and me when I was with their daughters. If...
The Atheist Renaissance
Atheists are feeling their oats these days. Three militant unbelieversāRichard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchensāhave recently hit the best-seller lists and talk shows. Not since Bertrand Russell have we seen atheism so prosperously married to celebrity. Why now? Since the ...
The Soul of a Poet
My generation is perhaps the last to whom the figure of Aleksandr Sol-zhe-nitsyn looms as large as a legend.Ā I have vague, hazy recollections as a boy, and as a teenager, of the man in the news who was depicted as a hero against Soviet totalitarianism.Ā I was eight when Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the...
February, Otherwise Known As “Black History Month”
“Black History Month,” sometimes called “February,” used to be about as exciting as National Jogging Week, but this year it stood up and pranced. First, executives at CBS gave the bounce to commentator Andy Rooney to punish him for unkind remarks he may or may not have uttered about the African-American gene pool. Then, Senator...
In the Name of ‘Democracy’

IllegalāAlien Shutdown
The bigger the infestation, an exterminator will tell you, the harder the pest is to eliminate.Ā Thus it is with illegal aliens, and one recent event illustrates that the infestation is so pervasive, it may be well-nigh impossible to stop. That event was a speech at the University of North Carolina in early April by...
The Realms of Gold
In Vienna, during the decade before the Great War, an astounding concentration of creative genius coincided with the final stages of political collapse.Ā The work of Hofmannsthal, Musil, Broch, Schnitzler, Kraus, Werfel, and Zweig in literature; Mahler, Wolf, and Schƶnberg in music; Krafft-Ebing and Freud in psychology; Wittgenstein and Buber in philosophy; Schiele and Kokoschka...
Flame of Hope
The 21st century has not so far been a happy time for American conservatives.Ā It began with an appalling terrorist attack whose key perpetrators had taken advantage of our governmentās insouciance toward mass immigration from the Third World.Ā Instead of reversing the trend toward demographic transformation, the authorities doubled down on it: We now accept...

Something of Art
In Something of Myself, his 1935 autobiography, Kipling remembers that when he was a young man, working for the English newspaper in the Punjab, “I no more dreamed of dressing myself than I did of shutting an inner door orāI was going to say turning a key in a lock. But we had no locks.”...
Who Owns the Future?
At the end of the Cold War, Francis Fukuyama famously wrote that our world may be at the “end of history” where “Western liberal democracy” becomes “the final form of human government.” A quarter century on, such optimism seems naive. Consider the United States, the paragon of liberal democracy. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds...
Florida, the New Capital of Red State America

Trumpās Short Recession

Roberts Is No Warren
Ā In light of the Obamacare ruling today from the Supreme Court, inĀ his post belowĀ Mr. Richert not only compares Chief Justice Roberts to Chief Justice Warren but compares Warren favorably to Roberts!

How a Stint With COVID Changed My Perspective
I was stricken with COVID last month. You probably expect me to now explain how awful it was, how I laid around in bed, suffering in agony, and was nearly carted off to the hospital. But that would be a lie. The real story? I had some congestion, did lots of sneezing, and was quite...
The Singer and the Song
Memory and testimony have kept alive the reputation of Fernando de Lucia, and so have the four hundred recordings that tenor made between 1902 and 1921. His old discs- Gramophone and Typewriters, Fonotipias, and Phonotypesāare among the most fascinating of historical recordings. What they suggest about the man and his context has inspired Michael Henstock...
Will Churchill’s Statue Be the Next to Fall?
On Gen. George Washington’s orders, the Declaration of Independence, signed in Philadelphia, was read aloud to his army. On hearing it, the troops marched to Bowling Green, decapitated and pulled down the statue of George III, and sent the remnants to be melted down into musket balls.

The Big Three: America, Russia, and China Must Join Hands for Security, Prosperity, and Peace
by Edward Lozansky and Jim Jatras With the defeat of Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump, we may never know how close America and all mankind came to nuclear war.

Thistles from Figs
āSince there has never been a great civilization without poetry,ā writes Tom Fleming in the current issue of Chronicles, āwe can say that European civilization has ceased to exist.ā True enough, but if the dayās newspaper is any guide, I reckon the sainted editor is digging too deep. The English word āuxuriousā was used, and...
A Coup Most Foul
We have seen coups of sorts in Washington before, not that anyone one calls them that.Ā (Remember JFK, Nixon.)Ā The one against Trump is of a different order of magnitude.Ā It had been plotted by the Deep State even before he was inaugurated.Ā Significant power nodes had always refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of this...
Are Autocrats Always Adversaries?
When did the political systems of 193 nations become the business of the government of the United States? And who elected us Americans to write the moral code for the regimes that rule other lands? Consider: On taking office, President Joe Biden pledged to center his foreign policy “on the defense of democracy and the...
The First Ring of Hostility
Cows sacred, evil, and venal are shot by Vladimir Voinovich in this satiric look at the Soviet Union that reads like a combination “Ivan in Wonderland” and Zamiatin’s WE.

Mar-a-Lago Thuggery
In ordering the unprecedented FBI raid of a former president's private residence, the Biden administration is playing with fire ... and driving Trump toward the 2024 White House.
Truth Dwells in the Imaginary
The United States is a great country, as everyone knows. This is why America has many friends, among whom one must also take account of its less amiable, jealous friends. One must not forget that America saved France in 1918 with the disembarkation for the second battle of the Marne and saved Europe from the...
Rothbard Against the Dismalists
“Wisdom is neither inheritance nor legacy.” āThomas Fuller In his keynote speech to a meeting of the John Randolph Club, Murray N.

Trumpās was a proponent of āAmerica Firstā in 1990
Republican front runner Donald Trump has been criticized for not being āconservativeā in the manner of the Beltway Right, for changing his positions (especially on abortion), and for his past associations with Democratic politicians.

NeverVancers Are the New NeverTrumpers
The usual suspects are out in force to undermine J. D. Vance as antithetical to Reaganās realism merely because he repudiates George W. Bushās disasters.
Chansons by the Bayou
Louisiana being the jazz capital of the United States (and the world, for that matter), one easily forgets the other contributions she has made to American culture. Then one remembers Louisiana is Walker Percyās adopted home and the setting of his most famous novel, The Moviegoer. Perhaps the writers Ernest J. Gaines and Shirley Ann...
The āMostly Peacefulā Double Standard
Though the actions of President Donald Trumpās most foolish supporters at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday were disgraceful, I canāt help but compare the news coverage of this event with the coverage of the Black Lives Matter/Antifa protesters in cities across the country last year. In my home state of Ohio, those protesting the death...
VI Day
The warās over! Ā We won! Hurrah for our sideāwhatever side that happens to be!

Getting Out of Bed With Korea
In some waysāeven more than Japan and the Peopleās Republic of ChinaāSouth Korea is dominating key U.S. markets.Ā Iāve noticed this for years in Orange County, where Hyundai North America just built its new $200 million U.S. headquarters in Fountain Valley, the city next to where I live in Huntington Beach.Ā Itās double the size...
Not āWokeā and Not Sorry
āWokeā is the concept that everything must be inclusive and inoffensive. Oh dear! Being hyperaware of everyoneās sensitivities makes one a hell of a bore. I recently flew down to Charlottesville, Virginia, where I had gone to university, to speak at a memorial service for my friend Willy von Raab. The other speaker was P.J....
The Folly of Overreach
To a casual observer it might seem that President Barack Obamaās four-nation tour of East Asia, which took him to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines, came at a time of Americaās undisputed global predominance.Ā The visit strengthened existing U.S. military commitments to the region, created some new ones, irritated China, and emboldened American...
Trump’s Handling of Iran Deserves Praise
Is it possible President Donald Trump may have perfectly played the Iran conflict? He’s been criticized for different and various reasons by people on the left and on the right. There’s been a real concern that the president could get us into a war with Iran. It’s early but it seems like Trump has effectively...

On the ‘National Endowment for the Arts’
The crux of Jacob Neusner’s (Cultural Revolutions, September 1990) frustration lies in the fact that he is desperately trying to find a “middle position” solution to the NEA funding crisis. There is no middle position to take with NEA, simply because the very nature of its being violates free market principles. Art is a business...
American Handgunners Seek Vatican Recognition
From time to time, the Catholic Church has to address the thorny problems caused by those liberal faithful who challenge her principles and tenets. Much more rarely do we hear about initiatives coming from the other side of the spectrum, since these initiatives generally do not pose any threat to Church doctrine, but are limited...

Race and the Elections
In a year of blatant political lies (and what presidential election year isnāt?) the calumny against Donald Trump that he is a fomenter of racial divisiveness may be the most unconscionable.Ā The Republican candidate has never said that all Mexicans are rapists and criminals of various sorts, only that some illegal immigrants from Mexico areāa...
