The Ten Commandments of Community
We are sailing into a new world of public policyāa world as strange and new as Columbus discovered. It is a world where infinite government demands have run straight into finite resources. It is an America made up increasingly of diverse people. At current immigration patterns, by 2040, there will not be a dominant ethnic...
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...
āTrifkovic on Europeās crisis and the threat of migrationā ā Nya Tider
On February 9 Swedenās right-leaning newspaper Nya Tider (āNew Timesā) published an interview with Srdja Trifkovic which focused on the deepening crisis within the European Union and the ongoing migrant invasion of Europe. Here is the English translation. NT: How do you assess the problems of Europe and the impact of the migrant crisis, terrorism,...
The Worst State
Things are pretty dismal all over the country, but some places are worse than others. Usually, published rankings of American states are compiled by liberals who value such things as high-school and college graduation rates, personal income, internet speed, and the availability of abortion clinics.Ā Thatās why Massachusetts and Minnesota commonly come out on top.Ā ...
Russia’s Strawman Svengali Feels the West’s Wrath
The assassination of Aleksandr Dugin's daughter, Darya, is a tragic consequence of the Western-media myth that he is Putin's political mastermind. In reality, the eccentric philosopher wields no influence in Russia.
Moral Supremacy and Mr. Putin
Is Donald Trump to be allowed to craft a foreign policy based on the ideas on which he ran and won the presidency in 2016? Our foreign policy elite’s answer appears to be a thunderous no. Case in point: U.S. relations with Russia. During the campaign Trump was clear. He would seek closer ties with...
Considering Judge Barrett
In one of the most importantĀ acts of his Presidency, on Sept. 26, 2020, Donald J. Trump announced his pick to fill the United States Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Amy Coney Barrett.Ā Ā The Supreme Court has recently been divided 4-4 in terms of judicial philosophy, with Justices Ginsburg, Stephen...
Teen Angel
“This is not your Grandma’s pageant!” the announcer proudly proclaimed. No, indeed, this was the 1999 Miss Teen U.S.A. pageant from Shreveport, Louisianaā”Brittney’s Beat” (a reference to teen super-Lolita Brittney Spears). Why even acknowledge that this sorry event happened? Because it provides a window into the existence of an American phenomenon, one that has profoundly...
Who Won, and Who Lost, World War II?
Sunday, the 80th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland, Vice President Mike Pence spoke in Warsaw’s Pilsudski Square of “five decades of untold suffering and death that followed” the invasion. Five decades! What Pence was saying was that, for Poland, World War II did not end in victory but defeat and occupation by an...
Biden, Trump, and the False God of Democracy
Conservatives would do well to remember that a political system of democratic leveling will always find new depths of evil, and fresh bodies to swell its ranks.
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...
An Open Letter to National Public Radio
Ā Kudos to theĀ Morning EditionĀ staff!Ā I have been an NPR listener almost from the beginning, and while I am constantly impressed by the errors and distortions that pepper your reporting on literature and history, I must confess that even I was bowled over by Robert Krulwich’s conversation with Stephen Greenblatt on the subject of the...
Bizarre Baroque
Like most Western children, I was reared partly on fairy tales.Ā Presented in beautifully illustrated Ladybird books, these were as much a part of my early childhood as the house decor, encouraging me to read and arousing inchoate ideas of an ur-Europe of forlorn beauties, wandering princes, vindictive stepmothers, dangerous fruits, fabulous treasures, ravening beasts,...
Deracinated Americans
It was a late night in the small-town pizzeria, and the owners were sitting at our table drinking the Antinori Chianti riserva that was ātoo sourā for the local Swedes, who prefer Lambrusco on the rocks when they are not drinking Miller Lite.Ā The husband had come from Italy as a child, but his wife...
Anatomy of a Murder
The November murder of a missionary Orthodox priest in Moscow highlighted the threats to Russiaās stability from extremist groups, including Muslim terrorists and the far right.Ā The priest, Daniil Sysoyev, and his aide, Vladimir Strelbitsky, were shot down in a church in Moscowās Southern Administrative Okrug on November 19.Ā The gunman, whom some sources described...
What the Wikileaks Reveal
The USA regime will soon recover from the embarrassments created by the massive release of diplomatic documents onto the Internet. Ā There will be investigations and prosecutions. Ā There will be ironic attempts by Madame Clinton and her colleagues to pretend that personal attacks on heads of state and foreign diplomats are de rigueur in the business...
Khrushchev and Me
Around 50 years ago Basil DāOliveira, a South African-born, olive-skinned professional cricketer who emigrated to England and qualified to play for his adopted homeās national team, was as controversial a sportsman in his way as Muhammad Ali, or Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the Black Power-saluting American athletes at the 1968 Olympics, or even the...
Political Passions, Part II
American churches cannot make up their minds. Do they serve God or an Uncle Sam who for a long time has been looking a great deal like Mammon? On patriotic holidays the choirs sing that bloodthirsty and nonsensical anthem to war and slaughter ironically titled “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and pastors give sermons...
Israelās House Divided
In the aftermath of Benjamin Netanyahuās electoral victory last March, the ātwo-state solutionā to the Arab-Israeli conflict is off the table for the foreseeable future.Ā Netanyahuās public disavowal of the two-state formula (despite his subsequent denials) was not a last-minute campaign ploy.Ā It reflected his deeply held belief that Israel can survive and prosper by...
Pay No Attention
A recent article in USA Today (āMexicoās Violence Not Widespread,ā August 4) could serve as a case study in why Mexican journalists consider their North American counterparts āhopelessā when it comes to accurate reporting on their country. The article pretends to correct the public misperception that Mexico on a whole is a dangerous and violent...
Memories and Modernity in Kasbah Country
I first visited Morocco in January 1943 as a young officer affected, with others, to the Casablanca Conference; it was considered sack time, after sterner service in the Western Desert, so called, or Libya. Originally it was to have been between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin, but Uncle Joe, as both called the Russian dictator, sulked...
An E Pluribus Reminder
It is saddening to see so distinguished an authority as Professor Stephen Presser misquote important words from the Constitution as he does in his November article on impeachment. He writes that treason is āclearly definedā in the Constitution as āmaking war on the United States or giving aid or comfort to her enemies.ā Here is...
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...
A Cancer on the Papacy?
This summer, the sex scandal that has bedeviled the Catholic Church went critical. First came the stunning revelation that Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, former Archbishop of Washington and friend to presidents, had for decades been a predator-priest who preyed on seminarians and abused altar boys, and whose depravity was widely known and covered up. Came then...
The Sudden Push for Border Security is Smoke and Mirrors
The mediaās portrayal of California Governor Gavin Newsom as fighting bedlam at the border is a tough sell, given that he has done everything in his power to attract illegal aliens to his once-idyllic state.
The Brooklyn Museum and the Triumph of Non-Art
In the current issue of Chronicles Thomas Fleming writes: Surrealists, communists, and Dadaists did not merely embrace the death of meaning and civility; they positively exulted in the death of the West and everything Western. They hated Christianity, especially the Catholic Church; they hated Europe, France in particular; they hated the classics; they hated white...
āScratch One Flattopā
It was Americaās first naval battle of World War II, Japanās first loss at sea in the war, the battle that saved Australia from a Japanese invasion, the greatest naval battle in Australian waters, the first carrier battle, and the first battle in which the opposing fleets never came within sight of each other or...
The Bit Between Their Teeth
Despite last summer’s brassy pronouncements that the owl had sung her watchsong on the towers of Capitol Hill, the oligarchs of Congress bit the reins in their teeth and lashed their mounts full into the maelstrom of constituents disgusted with pay-raises, privileges, perversion, and pretension. Some 96 percent of the incumbents managed to ride out...
Study: Student Debt Cancellation Benefits the Wealthy, Not the Poor
From Sen. Elizabeth Warren to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, some of the most prominent progressive politicians in the country are pushing hard for widespread student debt cancelation. So, itās fascinating to see aĀ new studyĀ show that forcing taxpayers to pay down the roughly $1.5 trillion in government-held student debt is not a āprogressiveā policy by any stretch....
George Kennan: Gadfly and Insider
There is a lot more to George Kennan than his policy of Soviet containment. This influential man, who never held a real position of power, was a bundle of contradictions.
Henry Radetsky and Fritz Kreisler
Tossing around a word like music is problematicalāand culture is even harder to deploy meaningfully.Ā Nevertheless, I am going to give both a try in a revealing juxtaposition that was brought to my attention by that world-traveling anthropologist Henry Radetsky, an academic colleague and a valued friend.Ā Henry is a cultured man I have learned...
Dominion Mosque
If the definition of a liberal is a person who wonāt take his own side in a fight, Adam Ebbin and Kaye Kory, Democrats who represent Virginiaās 49th and 38th districts in the commonwealthās House of Delegates, should have their pictures next to the word in Websterās. Ebbin, a homosexual Jew, invited Johari Abdul-Malik, a...
Another Country
Most of my news this month has to do, one way or another, with country music. In a roundabout way, a story out of South Carolina last fall got me thinking about that particular contribution of the South to world civilization. It seems the dean of student affairs at the University of South Carolina asked...
Angry White Men
To hear the Obamaites, those raucous crowds pouring into town hall meetings are āmobsā of āthugsā whose rage has been āmanufacturedā by K Street lobbyists and right-wing Republican operatives. Press secretary Robert Gibbs compares them to the Young Republicans of the āBrooks Brothers riotā during the Florida recount. But is it wise for the White...
The Oxford Experience
The recent election of the new Chancellor of Oxford Universityāor was it the prospect of another July undisturbed by fireworks?āreminded me of the letter I received from a Cambridge friend last summer, when I was living in Oxford. I quote it with minor deletions. “Warm greetings to the Latin Quarter of Morris-Cowley, and happy Fourth...
On The Institute for Advanced Study’
Jacob Neusner’s fierce attack upon the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (Cultural Revolutions, December 1990) is not as well-informed nor as balanced as one would expect from a scholar of his eminence. Neusner claims that the permanent faculty of its schools of historical studies and social sciences “are not prominent, though they publish,” and...
Who Is Insulted?
Senator Paul Simon (D-IL), former presidential candidate, wants to abolish Chief Illiniwek, mascot of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Chief, a student who performs a war dance at halftime during UI football and basketball games, has recently been denounced by campus malcontents, on the usual grounds (“racism,” etc.). Simon, attending the “36th Annual...
Dedicated to the Proposition
Every moviegoer remembers the sign: “Keep your change. Tipping is un-American.” It is on the cash register of the roadside diner that is the setting for The Petrified Forest. It is a strange expression. We don’t say “un-French” (and hardly ever say “un-English”), and when we do, we mean only that something is not typical...
Missing the Main Story
In 1946, the U.S. intelligence community published a series of studies on the current and future dangers threatening global peace, and among these was a surprisingly detailed essay entitled, āIslam: A Threat to World Stability.ā Those remarks obviously carry a special weight in light of subsequent decades. I am not the first person to discuss...
The Coming Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory
The killing of OBL is a significant event politically and psychologically. It will not have any detrimental impact on the operations of Al-Qaāeda, however, because that amorphous group does not need a leader and has not had a centralized command-and-control structure for a decade. We should not expect a single retaliatory terrorist assault by āAl-Qaāeda.ā...
On Last Rides
I appreciated very much Scott P. Richertās comments on what passes nowadays for American identity and how we wound up with rootless, abstract notions of āAmericanismā (āLast Ride,ā The Rockford Files, May).Ā Referring to the Americanization campaigns of the past, Mr. Richert pointed out that āIt is relatively easy, in a modern, affluent, industrial society...
Code Yellow
Talk about the failure of fundamental journalism!Ā In any other professionāmedical, legal, financialāthe guilty party would be struck off.Ā In journalism, the guilty partyāas in Rolling Stoneācontinues on its merry way of disinformation and downright fabrication.Ā Some Duke University lacrosse players must be nodding their heads, as in weāve seen it all before.Ā Letās start...
Thus Spake Chuka
Thereās a young lad who has been called the Barack Obama of Britain, and this may be indictment enough for many of my enlightened readers, but it is his actual name, rather than what he has been called, that fascinates me. As my readers may remember, Iām obsessed with onomatomancy; of the 163 known forms...
Overlooking Mass KillersāIf Theyāre on the Totalitarian Left
Imgard Furchner, a 96-year-old resident of a special care facility in Germany, is being investigated as a war criminal. She will appear in court in a wheelchair, which is now her customary way of moving about, the Swiss magazine DieWeltwoche reports. She did try to escape from her accusers in a taxi but was apprehended...
Who Truly Imperils Our Free Society?
“The Barbarian cannot make . . . he can befog and destroy but . . . he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true.” Hilaire Belloc’s depiction of the barbarian is recalled to mind as the statues honoring the history and heroes of...
The Managerial Mob
From the October 1998 issue of Chronicles. “Michael, we’re bigger than U.S. Steel,” boasts gangland mastermind Hyman Roth to his (quite temporary) partner, Michael Corleone, in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather, Part II. Hyman, however, was not the first to say it, and those familiar with the life history and achievements of the gentleman on...
Human Comedy
American playwrights handle comedy better than tragedy, at least if this year’s Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville is any gauge. Richard Strand’s farce of corporate ladderclimbing, The Death of Zukavsky, and Jane Martin’s broad comedy about lady wrestlers, Cementville, were the two high points of the festival, and even...
Learning to Hate George Zimmerman
The 2013 Summer of Race has come to a close, and thanks to endless badgering from the media, America remains sharply divided.Ā Weāre told that on one side are those who care deeply about the plight of blacks in America and, on the other, are racists of varying degrees who are glad that George Zimmerman...
A Strange Career
C. Vann Woodward, Sterling Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University and a contributing editor to The New Republic, is the leading liberal historian of the South. For three decades his encyclopedic knowledge and detailed historical investigations have produced works that have set the pattern for subsequent historians. Woodward accepts the title “liberal,” if somewhat...
