On New Yearās Eve 121 German women were subjected to sexual attacks, robbery and violence by āconcentric ringsā of a thousand Middle Eastern and African migrants in and around the central railway station in Cologne. Women and girls were surrounded, poked and jeered at as āwhoresā and even worse insults; their blouses were ripped and...

āImagineā a New National Anthem
Attempts to erase or denigrate our countryās past are now routine. Men and women once regarded as heroes and great Americans are regularly attacked as racists, sexists, and capitalists, their statues of remembrance removed in the popularĀ sport of statue-toppling.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Sadly, such contempt for our past and for Americaās ideals was likely...
Mechanical Nihilism
This is a book about life in a society from which higher goods have been expelled, leaving no place for love, wonder, or beauty.Ā The ācompulsionā of the title is that which guides people in such a setting.Ā In default of anything better, people fall under the dominion of itches, obsessions, and impositions, and mistake...
UVA: Facts Versus the Leftās Narrative
For a news professional, it is hard to say which is more discouraging: that Rolling Stone published an imaginary tale of gang rape from a crazy college girl without double-checking her story, or that no one at Rolling Stone was fired after the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism issued a report that revealed top-to-bottom...
A Psalm Makes Us Love the Future
āAs it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be; world without end.Ā Amen.ā āGod granted that the life of this holy man should be a long one, for the benefit and happiness of holy Church, and he lived seventy-six years, nearly forty of them as priest or bishop.Ā In the course of...
The Libyan War
In the aftermath of September 11, President George W. Bush launched the War on Terror.Ā It was the first war in U.S. historyādeclared or undeclaredāagainst a phenomenon, a method, or an emotion, rather than against a state (or a subgroup such as the Barbary pirates or the Viet Cong).Ā The concept evoked Xerxesā War on...
The Skeptical Mind
āSkepticism is less reprehensible in inquiring years, and no crime in juvenile exercitation.ā āJoseph Glanville In an intellectual climate characterized by conformity and wishful thinking, John Gray is among the most interesting and consequential thinkers contemporary Britain has to show.Ā From his office at the London School of Economics (where he is professor of European...
Sudden Jihad Syndrome in Vienna
Austrian authorities announced on October 2 that they arrested a second Bosnian-Muslim suspect in the plot to attack the American Embassy in Vienna. Mehmed D. (34) was apprehended following the arrest of Asim C. (42) last Monday, after the latter tried to enter the ...
Literature and the Real Person
The invitation to visit Chicago, the outline provided of the Foundation’s aims, and the name of the Award, made me think at once of a poem by T.S. Eliot, in which he describes a British visitor to America. The poem is called Mr. Apollinax. I use T. S. Eliot to introduce the subject about which...
Not Fade Away
At first glance, the area around Anthony Rudisās 614-acre farm outside Monee, Illinois, seems closer to my hometown in Michigan than it does to Chroniclesā hometown of Rockford, Illinois.Ā (As the crow flies, the distance between Monee and Spring Lake is almost the same as the distance between Monee and Rockford.)Ā Having traveled the 290/294...
New World Disorder
The Berlin wall may not be the only casualty of the Soviet Union’s disintegration. Recent elections in several European states have given evidence that nationalism is reemerging as the dominant political force in the West. Of course, “nationalism,” which in the broadest sense includes any assertion of tribal or national identity, is already the spark...
The Religion of Neoconservatism
Did you ever wonder why Jewish neoconservative thinkers never argue “from” Judaism, in the way in which Michael Novak argues from Roman Catholicism, and Richard Neuhaus argues from Lutheran Christianity? That is to say, Judaism never forms a point of departure and never defines a court of appeal. For the Jewish neoconservatives Judaism simply does...
Report From Rome: Berlusconiās Comeback?
Ā Ah, Italian politics . . . This scene reminds me of my native Serbia: corruption, sleaze, scandals, cushy jobs for the boys, andĀ dramatis personƦĀ that changes but little from one decade to another. Thereās also the same resentment at various dictates coming from the German-dominated European Unionāof which Italy (unlike Serbia) is a member, but...
Mother Knows Best
Man may be dying out, but patriarchyāmen’s oppression of womenālives on. If only we were more controlled by women, or at least by the feminine aspect of our natures, life would be much better: kinder, gentler, and more “caring.” It is patriarchy, after all, that makes America so aggressive; it is patriarchy that makes American...
Hungary: Steady as She Goesā¦
Upon his return from a week-long stay in Budapest, Srdja Trifkovic provides an assessment of Hungaryās current political scene in his weekly roundup of world affairs for Serbiaās top-rated Happy TV network. He also looks at the central European countryās role in EU politics, which occasionally may appear disproportionate to its modest size and resources....
Murder in the Wasteland
The mystery novel, to borrow a line from Original Sin, has all the virtues of its defects. “The mystery,” Baroness James explained in a recent Washington Post interview, “deals with the planned murder” and is thus confined to a certain formulaic structure in which a detective protagonist confronts an often unsavory lot of suspects, all...
Fighting Intolerance with More of the Same
Itās a little late in the day to be discovering what cesspools of intolerance American universities have become. Suspending freedom of speech to please those who donāt want to hear anti-Zionist sounds is not the proper response.
The Left-Hand Path
Last May, the New Republic carried an informative article about how contemporary exponents of Cabala, a school of Jewish mysticism dating from the Middle Ages (if not earlier), have shaped the minds (such as they are) of such celebrities as Mick Jagger, Britney Spears, Demi Moore, and Madonna.Ā The Material Girl herself was quoted from...
Serbia Humiliated
Ā On October 5, 2000, in an almost bloodless coup by the security forces staged against the backdrop of massive street protests, Slobodan Milosevic was removed from power in Serbia. Ten years later, many of those who cheered his downfall then (this author included) have nothing to celebrate. In the run-up to āPeti oktobarā they...
Digitize Me: For Your Disinformation
Digitomania is the compulsion to digitize all human activity.Ā Its compulsive nature is betrayed by the casual, thoughtless manner in which we are casting ourselves down the slippery cyberslope, āacknowledgingā the āperilsā yet completely unwilling and unable to pull ourselves back. Digitomania gaily mirrors 17th-century Europeās ātulipomania.āĀ That classic bubble is described with wicked humor...
Our Orwell, Right or Left
“Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.” āCharles Peguy In Moscow in 1963, there was a saying: “Tell me what you think ofĀ Solzhenitsyn and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and I’ll tell you who you are.” A similar principle applies today among Western intellectuals and their opinion of George Orwell and Nineteen...
China’s Lord of Heaven
I have been spending my spring sabbatical in China.Ā As I am a sinologist, specializing in traditional Chinese poetry, there is nothing surprising in that, except that I have not been here since 1981, when I led a tour group for less than three weeks.Ā Most of my work has been that of the classicist,...

HOPE
As the century ends, the marginality of poetry grows. Today it is either a ceremony in the catacombs, a ritual in the urban desert, a fiesta in the basement, or a revelation in the supermarket. It’s true that poets are still persecuted in totalitarian countries and in old-fashioned military tyrannies; in democratic nations they are...
Hanging Rudy Out to Dry
Back in 1987, this writer was invited by friends to advise them on a press conference they had called to oppose President Reagan’s signing of an INF treaty to remove all nuclear missiles from Europe. My advice: Deplore the treaty; do not attack the president. The next day, Howard Phillips declared that Ronald Reagan had...
The Other America
Remembering, as I often have cause to do, the late Samuel Francisās formulation āanarcho-tyranny,ā I have an enhanced respect for the wonder that is our nation, for the wisdom of the government, and for the phonetic ambiguity of the word mandate, particularly as related to the blow for freedom and equality struck by the latest...
Europa Delenda Est?
Europe as we knew it is far away, and it will not come back.
What Neocons Do on Their Summer Vacations
It is not today exactly a secret of state that neoconservatism has become the dominant expression of what passes for the American ārightāāand that its victory is also the reason why it is necessary for more serious conservatives to use the qualifying phrase āwhat passes forā when referring to the American right and to place...
The Manufactured Border Crisis
In nearly 30 years of covering America’s corrupted immigration and entrance policies, I can tell you definitively that every “border crisis” is a manufactured crisis. Caravans of Latin American illegal immigrants don’t just form out of nowhere. Throngs of Middle Eastern refugees don’t just amass spontaneously. Boatloads of Haitians don’t just wash up on our...
Continuing Legal Education
Continuing legal education is imposed on lawyers by the Missouri Bar Association and the Missouri Supreme Court, and right before the November election I took a day to fulfill the requirements. The only CLE show in town at the time was a seminar presented by the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys on using a vocational...

A Wilderness of Mirrors: Litvinenko, Putin, and the West
The death of exiled former FSB (the domestic-security successor to the KGB) officer Aleksandr Litvinenko in London last November momentarily relegated Britney and K-Fed, Oprah, and Madonna to the second pages of Western tabloids.Ā It also sparked a frenzy of speculation about who stands behind the apparent murderāor āmurders,ā since talk of political assassination was...
Is Thomas Woods a Dissenter? A Further Reply, Pt. 4
Next let us turn to Woodsā comments on my discussion of scarcity as an economic concept. Ā I again quoted Paul Samuelson who introduces the topic as fundamental to economic analysis and concludes by saying:Ā āIf you add up all the wants, you quickly find that there are simply not enough goods and services to satisfy...
In Fair Verona, a Fight for Family
My husband and I touched down in Venice in late March, rented a Fiat 500, and drove through a rolling Italian countryside spotted with vineyards. Our destination was the medieval town of Verona. Verona has become something of a political flashpoint lately. It is the symbolic home of the Lega Nord, the now-leading conservative half...
Key Proposals
President Bush announced in September that he would partially support key proposals for intelligence reform made by the September 11 Commission, which, in its final report, recommended a sweeping restructuring of the U.S. intelligence apparatus.Ā The commission called for the appointment of a National Intelligence Director (NID) who would have full authority over the personnel...
Trump Vs. McCain: Don’t Be Too Sure The Donald Is Wrong
More than a few conservatives and Republicans, by no means necessarily the same people, denounced Donald’s Trumpās imprudent remarks about Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who spent more than five years as a POW in Vietnam. Said Trump, āheās a war hero ācause he was captured. I like people that werenāt captured, OK.ā This insulted all...
Wings of Icarus
From 9,000 feet the triangulating mountains, snow-covered and hazy with spring, showed on three horizons bounding the broad brown desert of the Green River. Leveling at 9,475 feet we saw the steam plume from the power plant. Lake Viva Naughton, and the white scratch of clay road running toward the mountains north of town. The...
What Civilization Remains
We once had a book about Eastern Europe at home, in between the encyclopedias and Robinson Crusoe.Ā I do not remember its title nor the authorās name, but it contained highly atmospheric black and white photographs of Rumanian scenes.Ā There were baroque chateaux, sturgeons, eagles, wolves, bears, wild boar, bends in the Danube, flowered meads...
Obama Versus the Supreme Court
The Supreme Courtās power has become virtually unchecked: Amending the Constitution to reverse an erroneous Supreme Court decision is nearly impossible, and Congress has proved too timid to use the other weapons the Constitution provides to check the Court, including its power to restrict the jurisdiction of the federal courts.Ā As a result, the Supreme...
Neocon Follies
Doug Liman has performed half a public service with his new film, Fair Game.Ā By retelling the story of the neoconservative attack on Amb. Joseph Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame, he has once more exposed how eager these ideologues are to destroy anyone who gets in their way.Ā Unfortunately, he stops short of reaching...
The Dakota Men
“What ever happened to real men . . . the kind of men with good old-fashioned values like honesty, integrity, sincerity, and ambition?” asks FOODāFarmers of Ongoing Determinationāin a promotional flier. It turns out that they think they have a corner on the real-man marketāand I’m willing to let them suspend my disbelief. North Dakotans...
Out of Harmās Way
In this factually and conceptually rich biography of French political thinker Bertrand de Jouvenel (1903-1987), Daniel J. Mahoney has at least begun the task that he sets for himself in the Preface: performing an āact of intellectual recoveryā to ārectify the unwarranted neglect of one of the most thoughtful and most humane political thinkers of...
The Wellesley Zarathustra
āLaws [concerning āreproductive healthā] have to be backed up with resources and political will and deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.āĀ Thus spake Zarathustra at the Women in the World Summit in New York City last April, an annual celebration of the Transvaluation of All Values. āReligious beliefs ....
Eminent Southrons and Cinematic Slander

Unlovable Losers: The Left in Perspective
Not long after last fallās presidential election, an entire wall in New York Cityās Union Square subway station was plastered with hundreds of protestorsā Post-it notes, hailed by Mayor Bill de Blasioās administration as āsubway therapyā for the losing side, but more akin to a billboard for the demented, all berserk with rage, contrived hysteria,...
A Nation at War With Itself
President Donald Trump has decided to cease cooperating with what he sees, not incorrectly, as a Beltway conspiracy that is out to destroy him. “We’re fighting all the subpoenas,” Trump said Wednesday. “These aren’t, like, impartial people. The Democrats are out to win in 2020.” Thus the Treasury Department just breezed by a deadline from...
Left-wing Normies Have Been Radicalized
Itās time for normal people on the left to take stock of the people and ideas they are supporting. The vicious tribalism they support is leading to contempt for and violence against their fellow citizens.
Insurgent Islam and American Collaboration
The cultural schism between the Western and Eastern halves of European Christian civilizationāmarked principally by their respective religious traditions, Roman Catholic and Protestant in the West and Orthodox in the East, may or may not prove fatal. One issue stands above all others in determining the outcome: the Islamic resurgence that has rapidly come to...
