In Memory of Gerald Russello
Gerald Russello, an author and editor often associated with Russell Kirkās life and work, passed away on Nov. 7, 2021. He was 50 years old. Russelloās death took me by surprise, as I wasnāt aware until recently that he was fatally ill and being treated for brain cancer. Since he was around the same age...

No More Blank Checks for War
After the assassination of the archduke in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, Austria got from Kaiser Wilhelm a āblank chequeā to punish Serbia. Germany would follow whatever course its ally chose to take. Austria chose war on Serbia. And World War I resulted. On March 31, 1939, Britain gave a blank check to Poland in...
Will there be an Independence Day 2015?
As Independence Day 2014 approaches, Iām still wondering when one of the Republican presidential candidates is going to seize the immigration issue and march to victory in the White House. Thatās assuming there will even be an independent United States in 2015. Or if the country exists, that it will be anything but a totalitarian...
Trumpās Understatement
Gee, this is the worst news Iāve had since the defeat at Stalingrad.Ā More than 80 former ambassadors to African nations sent a letter of protest to The Donald.Ā Even worse, Botswana, Ghana, Haiti, Namibia, Senegal, and the African Union have all protested Mr. Trumpās calling them shitholes. I also protest.Ā Shithole is a term...
Challenges Facing Russia
Excerpts from Dr. Trifkovicās lecture hosted by the Institute for Public Planningās Russian Debates program in Moscow on September 25, 2014. Some commentators have called the events of the past eight months āa new Cold War,ā but they are wrong: the Cold War has never ended, as manifested in two rounds of NATO expansion after...
Trumpism Has a Future Now
Donald Trump has secured a future for Trumpism by picking J. D. Vance as his running mate. Trump has ensured that Trumpism will not only be about Trump.
Genetic Roulette
Once, a long time ago, when, as a result of one of those complex misunderstandings that cast long shadows over the course of my life, I was getting married in a small town in Connecticut, my father showed up at the church stuffed with promotional literature.Ā This consisted of leaflets describing his new organization, donation...
Le Monde, the Flesh, and the Devil
A livre Ć scandale in France this year is a heavily documented work by two veteran freelancers, writer-researcher Pierre PĆ©an and Philippe Cohen, editor of the French satirical publication Marianne.Ā La face cachĆ©e du Monde, which runs over 600 pages, was put out by the very independent press Mille et Une Nuit, over threats of...
On the Firing Line
Vice President Cheneyās mishap on the Armstrong Ranch in Texas last February is every hunterās nightmare come true. The humiliation following that mishap is every politicianās worst dream realized. An easy metaphorical reach allows us some fun at the expense of the Vice President, the apparently careless shotgunner who once held the office of secretary...
On Democracy
In his otherwise excellent column “The Illusions of Democracy” (Perspective, January 1996), Thomas Fleming writes: “We, however, send our children to a school where they are taught theories of English grammar, theories of literary interpretation (New Criticism, Reader Response, feminist interpretationāit is all the same) and scientific theories they will never understand, much less apply.”...
What the Editors Are Reading
In its issue for December 20, 2018, the New York Review of Books published an essay by Mark Lilla, a professor at Columbia University, titled āTwo Roads for the New French Right.āĀ The piece caught the attention of many American conservativesāI personally received a number of emails drawing my attention to it, all by people...
The Anti-White Sentiment Underlying Left-Wing Anti-Semitism
The anti-white left views the struggle of Hamas as a continuation of the war against Western colonialism. They are never going to make common cause with Jews who defend the West.
The World’s Best Bad Magazines
The below are little collections of information I picked up from, respectively, Esquire and GQ. The world’s finest ready-made suits are found in America. The world’s most intriguing men’s store is in Italy. The world’s best harmonicas come from Germany. Ā Fifteen percent of all furs in the United States are sold to males. Some...
Sadly for Adlai
“Madly for Adlai,” proclaimed the campaign buttons in 1952. But Adlai Ewing Stevenson II wasn’t the kind of politician who aroused mad affections, or, for that matter, hostilities. He was a Stevenson. Passion isn’t the Stevenson thing; service isāservice conducted with objectivity and a certain fidelity to the public weal. Jean Baker, professor of history...
When a Giant Crosses Your Path
The story of one manās intellectual and personal friendship with Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, stretching across the last decades of the 20th century, and the lessons it might impart for us today.
A Humble Love
āNot only England, but every Englishman is an island.ā āFriedrich von Hardenberg John Betjemanās evocative and educative television programs and his uniquely readable poetry have left an indelible image in the British public mindāof a jolly, witty, and eccentric man, ambling around Britainās cities and countryside, pointing out hitherto unnoticed details of hitherto underappreciated buildings...
Leaving the Losing Side
The main fact of American politics in the 1990’s is that the elites of both major parties have moved so far from the values and interests of the middle class that a third party has begun to rise almost spontaneously to fill the void. In Colorado, this third-party-to-be-named-later passed an amendment denying special rights to...
Everybody in America
As I understand gun control, the idea is to disarm criminals unless they work for the government. Police used to see their duty as to protect people.Ā Since the feds took over training them, more and more of them think their job is to swagger, push people around, and make military-style assaults. An Obama spokesperson...
Polemics & Exchanges: October 2023
J. Douglas Johnson, executive editor of Touchstone Magazine, critiques Tom Piatak's column in the August issue, and Mr. Piatak replies.
An American Burke
John Randolph (1773-1833) survives in America’s footnotes as a colorful contrarian, and the Gore Vidal school of historiography pants at his duel with Henry Clay and his taste for opium. A master rhetorician, he left a long list of choice barbs, nearly all concocted on the spur of the moment. James Kilpatrick characterized the errant...
Six of One
Since his election to the Senate in 1984, Mitch McConnell has been the bĆŖte noir of Kentucky progressives.Ā Like Halleyās comet, the slogan āDitch Mitchā has appeared again and again, and McConnellās adversaries have made a recurring cathartic ritual of venting hatred upon him.Ā Time after time, Mitch has come out on top, forcing even...
A 60-Year-Old Error
Since the days of Earl Warren, the U.S. Supreme Court has engaged in a lot of freewheeling jurisprudence: the decision granting Washington the power to dictate when and how police may apprehend criminal suspects; the declaration that the racial integration of Americaās public schools is a matter of federal, rather than state, law; the ukase...
A Christmas History
Before Christmas, Peter Brimelow used my article āHappy Holidays? Bah! Humbug!ā (Vital Signs, December 2001) to kick off VDare.comās annual War Against Christmas competition.Ā Since then, I have received a steady stream of correspondenceāsome of it sharply critical, but most of it extremely favorable. Of course, not everyone liked the essay.Ā I learned that my...
Childocentric
Europeans accuse Americans of being childocentric, and I guess I’d have to plead guilty. My nine-year-old daughter is the apple of my eye. I want her to live in a society that is moral and free, that looks as much as possible like the old American Republic, unsubverted by the welfare-warfare state and its allied...
Letters From Rome: Italy’s Russiagate-Wannabe
Back in the Eternal City after three years, and there is another political scandal on the horizon. Or at least the local media machine (every bit as bad as its U.S. equivalent) would have us believe there was. The target: Matteo Salvini, Italyās famously Euroskeptic interior minister. The accusation: corrupt dealings between his Lega party...
The Ignorance of the Doctors
Montaigne in his Essays called it ignorance doctorale (1.54). Four hundred years later an American journalist called it “educated incompetence.” It means the sort of nonknowledge, or anti-knowledge, that can follow upon higher learning, especially when theorizing about politics, morality, and the arts. That, in the first age of mass higher education in human history,...
A Fork in Europeās Road
European leaders have a decision to make: treat Russia as an integral part of Europe with legitimate security concerns, or treat her as an Asiatic pariah to be crippled.
Israel at 70: Bibi’s Troubled Hour of Power
For Bibi Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister save only founding father David Ben-Gurion, it has been a week of triumph. Last Tuesday, President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal as Bibi had demanded. Thursday, after Iran launched 20 missiles at the Golan Heights, Bibi answered with a 70-missile attack...
Brown Revolution in Ukraine: An American Academic Gets It Right
In an LA Times op-ed (“Ukraine’s threat from within”), University of South California professor of international relations Robert D. English describes the ugly essence of the Brown Revolution. His take on the neo-nazi dominated rebellion is much needed and sorely lacked in the American media. I already picture the pro-Maidan hacks at NYT, National Review,...
Flies Trapped in Honey
Nineteen ninety-one was the year of revolutions, the greatest, perhaps, since 1848. Many who observed the events from safe seats on this side of the Atlantic must have recalled Churchill’s great Fulton speech, in which he described the “Iron Curtain” that had “descended across the continent,” cutting off “all the capitals of the ancient states...
Stand My Ground
Purchasing a house in a city with double-digit unemployment and some of the highest property taxes in the country may well be a definition of insanity.Ā Buying such a house on foreclosure, unable to make the purchase contingent on the sale of your current home, undoubtedly is. Yet here we areāconsidering taking that leap into...
Demo Liberal Chutzpa
Once again, President Reagan has spoken out about the collapse of the American educational system (and correctly so) and stated facts that will hit anyone who has an average IQ, and one that is uncontaminated by liberal orthodoxy, with a force of a brick: Classrooms across the country are not temples of learning, teaching the...
JFKāAccept Our Diverse World as It Is
Seven months after the Cuban missile crisis, President John F. Kennedy, at American University, laid out his view on how the East-West struggle should be conducted to avoid a catastrophic war that could destroy us both. Kennedy’s message to Moscow and his fellow Americans: “If (the United States and the Soviet Union) cannot end now...
American Public Education Is Beyond Crisis Mode
Parents who donāt want their children to be subject to the ever-changing winds of todayās left-wing therapeutic culture will have to make the word āsacrificeā part of their vocabulary.
A Classic Reconsidered
Do not look for last yearās best novel piled high in a fancy stack at the Books-A-Million or B. Dalton, with the belles lettres of Tom Clancy or John Grisham, because the best novel of 2002 was written 48 years ago.Ā The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, by Sloan Wilson (recently deceased), hit the...
The Cabal Strikes Back
Ever since the exposure in the mainstream media last year of the neoconservatives as a fifth column that engineered the present boondoggle in Iraq, dragged the United States into a foreign war for the transparent benefit of Israel, and concocted what are now known to have been lies about Iraqās āweapons of mass destructionā and...
Title X Funds
Title X funds to “family planning” clinics that dispense abortion counseling were prohibited last summer as a result of the Rust v. Sullivan U.S. Supreme Court decision, which single-issue organizations indignantly denounced. It is ironic that the very people who claim that government should stay out of abortion decisions are the very same people who...
Obamianity 101
An understanding of sin is central to our embrace of Christianity and the saving work of Jesus Christ.Ā Scripture clearly teaches that āthe wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lordā (Romans 6:23).Ā Thus, knowing what sin is and repenting of it are essentials to...
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Streets of San Francisco
Homelessness in California is just one of the many causes of Gov. Gavin Newsom's waning popularity. But this week's fires show it to be a serious problem for the Golden State.
Haunted by Yesterday
“In literature, it is the hereditary spirit that still prevails.” āGeorge Santayana Nothing is more dangerous for the critic than taking a book cover at face value. But when the blurbs compare the author to William Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor, Walker Percy, and Saul Bellow, the challenge is irresistible. And since these are the claims with...
Christian Nationalism as Ethnic Survivalism
"The Case for Christian Nationalism" author Stephen Wolfe has come under fire for laying the intellectual foundation to help Protestants connect religion with a peopleās sense of identity.
Back to Parmenides
It is reported that when one of Pythagoras’s followers revealed the Pythagorean brotherhood’s deepest secret, the discovery of irrational numbers, he was killed. The discovery of irrational numbers came about as a direct result of the Pythagorean theorem, for the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are one inch equals the square root of...
The Efficient Destruction of Flyover Country
Ideologues tend to place a great value on economic laws.Ā I started out my undergraduate career hoping for a double major in political science and economics.Ā My goal was to administer a breadline and to understand why it was necessary.Ā I was doing very well in political philosophy and public administration, but lagging a bit...
Disasters Averted
Last nightās divine surprise is important more for the many bad things that will not happen than for the good ones that may happen. That Donald Trump won in spite of his many blunders, and in spite of the mainstream media machine acting as an integral part of Hillary Clintonās campaign, indicates the magnitude of...
Sympathy for the Spartan
Historyābe it that of 1619, or 1776, or some other significant year or eventāis often abused in this day and age. One of the latest victims of such historical misrepresentation are the Spartans, whom Lee Smith in a column for Tablet treats rather unfairly. Smith describes theĀ blood-curdling behaviorĀ of the antidemocratic Spartans at the end of...
What We Are Reading: November 2021
The plot of the Woman of the Inner Sea may strike one as interesting for a childrenās book: An Australian woman leaves Sydney incognito for the interior and makes friends with a kangaroo and an emu. But Thomas Keneallyās novel is for adults and contains a complex structure, a rich cast of characters, and nuanced...
Thereās No Right to Sleep Outdoors
Supreme Court arguments on Monday suggest the Court will rule 6-3 or 5-4 that municipalities can ban sleeping on public property. The ruling will affect the entire nation.
The Ron Paul Story
Ā The most interesting Ron Paul Story these days is the Ron Paul Story. Ā What? Ā It’s like this. Ā I well understand why so many disgruntled and disgusted Republicans are turning in despair to a man who probably cannot get the nomination, much less win in a general election. Ā Paul’s supporters have come, however dimly, to...
