Sometime before the end of 2023, the U.S. and its European minions are likely to face an unpleasant choice: risk an open war by reinforcing Ukraineās depleted ranks with NATO troops, or let Russia prevail.

Black Sheep One
āThou shalt not honor a white man,ā says the first commandment of the politically correctāunless, of course, the white man in question is hastening the destruction of Western civilization or, perhaps, preserving the habitat of the pupfish.Ā A recent example of dishonoring an American hero occurred at the University of Washington, when a student senator,...
Blame America First
“America First,” he said, whereupon the skies opened, the thunder cracked, the rains came . . . who knew the empire was so sensitive? The corporate-media response to Patrick J. Buchanan’s A Republic, Not an Empireāand when is the last time a presidential candidate wrote his own campaign book?ārivals the Two-Minute Hates directed at Goldstein...
The Mystery of Gay Marriage, Solved
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has struck down all remaining state bans on gay “marriage.” The decision was authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a putative Catholic and a Republican appointee. That such a decision was coming should have surprised no one; the only question was how far-reaching that decision would be. Just...
Merry Kwanzaa
What are you doing this year for Kwanzaa? T’his was once a ludicrous question, but in today’s urban America public agencies, newspapers, and businesses trip over themselves showing their unqualified support for this anomalous occasion. Presented now as a religious, if not a national event, Kwanzaa immediately follows the “Judeo-Christian” holidays. It is one thing...
AIDS Capital of the Nation
San Francisco, the AIDS capital of the nation, is presumably a city that should be open to a variety of views on how to combat the virus. As the experience of Dr. Lorraine Day of San Francisco General Hospital suggests, the greater the concentration of homosexuals and AIDS carriers in an area, the narrower the...
Lock Out the Establishment in Cleveland!
The Wisconsin primary could be an axle-breaking speed bump on Donald Trump’s road to the nomination. Ted Cruz, now the last hope to derail Trump of a desperate Beltway elite that lately loathed him, has taken the lead in the Badger State. Millions in attack ads are being dumped on the Donald’s head by super...
Was NATO Deformed From Birth?
In a message commenting onĀ my article on NATOās strategic purposeĀ in the post-cold war era and its current use as a tool of United States hegemony in Europe,Ā ChroniclesĀ Editor Paul Gottfried raised an intriguingĀ question: āIs it really possible to divorce the striving for continued American hegemony in Europe from the founding of NATO as a ādefensive pactā?...
Friends With Benefits
The week after the murdering scum of ISIS beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians in Libyaātheir crime was being Christianāthe European Commission opened an investigation of Christian schools in Britain for allegedly ādiscriminatingā against nonreligious teachers.Ā In other words, the unelected bureaucrats of Brussels want to force Christian schools to stop giving preference to religious staff while...
The War of Nihilisms
The first English translation of Ernst JĆ¼ngerās journals from the Second World War is a cause for celebration. The journals were like treasures stashed away in an old castle, behind a door that could be unlocked only if one learned to read German. Itās open now, and whatās inside are literary gems on every page....
The Politics of Air Strikes
To bomb or not to bomb?Ā As I write, that is the question being debated in the Palace of Westminster.Ā The Conservative government, predictably enough, is itching to join the attacks on ISIS in Syria.Ā Prime Minister David Cameron says we cannot leave it to France and America to obliterate terrorists in the Middle East...
Oracles of the West
The title of Joseph Pearceās profound piece āFighting the Dragon With Solzhenitsynā (Society & Culture, January) hit me like a punch to the solar plexus, for Solzhenitsyn frequently directed its first three words to me in the form of a questionāāYeshche boryoutsya s drakonamy?āāas a sort of general āHow goes it?ā As a callow Harvard...
Footprints in the Snow: The Burgling of America
Roughly twenty years ago, a man in Asheville, North Carolina left his home in the wee hours of the morning, walked a couple of blocks to a convenience store, burglarized the store, and returned home with his loot. Unfortunately for our thief, snow had blanketed the city earlier that night. After responding to the burglary...
How Does A Traditionalist Vote?
Ā Recently, Dan McCarthy of theĀ American ConservativeĀ had aĀ pieceĀ asking, “How Does A Traditionalist Vote?”Ā I would submit that an answer to that question can be gleaned by viewing thisĀ adĀ for Barack Obama, brought to my attention by one of America’s leading traditionalist thinkers, Chris Kopff.Ā In it, a tattoed college age woman implicitly compares voting for Barack...
In Focus ā Dead Soul
John M. Allegro: The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth; Prometheus; Buffalo, N.Y.Ā John M. Allegro has distinĀguished himself as an editor and commentator of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Unfortunately, his erudiĀtion did not prevent him from writing a very foolish book. Allegro believes that the reĀsemblance between the Scrolls and certain Christian practices...
Notes on Art Restoration: The Sistine Chapel
The present controversy around the restoration of the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling prompts the following reflections on restorative work in general, and that of our time in particular. Our age will be known by future historians as one in which all certitudes were questioned, while the True and the Good were on the defensive. Beauty, also...
The Pleasurable Science
Ā Ā Ā Ā “No nation ever made its bread either by its great arts, or its great wisdoms. By its minor arts or manufactures, by its practical knowledges, yes; but its noble scholarship, its noble philosophy, and its noble art are always to be bought as a treasure, not sold for a livelihood.” āJohn...
The Yuma Amnesty Files
President Bush was back in Yuma, Arizona, in early April, one year after making promises to secure the border in exchange for a ācomprehensiveā immigration-reform bill that would increase legal immigration, open the door for up to 20 million illegal aliens to remain in the United States, and encourage yet another surge of illegal aliens...
Observations After Ten Years
The questions I ask myself from time to time are: What is the Ingersoll Milling Machine Company doing with its own philanthropic organization? What does Ingersoll have to do with philanthropy at all? We are engaged in a highly technical international machinery business, which is extremely demanding because of surging technology, because there are competitors...
An Exercise in Futility
Never in the field of Arab-Israeli conflict was so little expected by so many from so few. That is the accurate and near-universal verdict on the opening of the latest series in the longest-running soap opera in the world. The three key roles are the same as ever. Two of them have been played with...
Six Paragraphs In Search of an Author
And a point. Everyone I know is asking me why we are going to bomb Syria. There is a rarely a simple answer to such questions, but if we look closely at the would-be bombers–the leaders of Turkey and France for example, perhaps we can gain some insight. The latest coalition of the willing might...
Plagued by Charges
Governor Clinton’s candidacy for President, plagued as it’s been by charges of marital infidelity and draft evasion, has brought to the fore once again the question of whether personal character is relevant to fitness for public office. There are those to whom it is obvious that private behavior is relevant to public office. Others contend...
Quebec Secession
Quebec Secession was the subject of an historic judgment handed down by the supreme court of Canada on August 20, 1998. This question reached the court by a “reference” or “renvoi” initiated by the governor general, in effect a request by the Prime Minister and his cabinet for an advisory opinion. The judgment is not...
Life, Immigration, and the Pursuit of Consistent Conservatism
Congressman Chris Cannon of Utah and his open-borders cronies at the Wall Street Journal, who have embarked on a smear campaign against mainstream immigration-control groups, should learn to differentiate between real xenophobes (as found in an August 2004 Tennessee primary election) and the vast majority of people with legitimate rationales for favoring lower, tighter immigration....
A Landmark Decision
The Supreme Court, in its landmark 6-3 decision in Atkins v. Virginia, has taken the penultimate step toward total elimination of the death penalty in the United States.Ā The facts of the case are clear: Daryl Atkins and an accomplice plotted to rob a customer in a convenience store; abducting their victim, they took him...
Environmentalism, Culture, and Politics
The following remarks are excerpted and arranged from a series of letters exchanged between Ed Marston, publisher of the environmentalist newspaper in Paonia, Colorado, High Country News, and Chilton Williamson, Jr., of Chronicles, in response to questions posed by Mr. Williamson during January and February 1996. Does a traditional Western culture exist today, and are...
Sex Scandal du Jour
Remember Gwen Dreyer? No, of course not. She was the poor, unfortunate midshipman who was “chained to a urinal” at the United States Naval Academy in the winter of 1990. The incident came at the end of a long day of snowball fights and practical jokes, in which Ms. Dreyer had willingly taken part. Sometime...
Books Do Furnish a Room…
Ā A commenter on my Daily Mail Blog asked me a few questions about “modern” verse, specifically what I thought of Gerard Manley Hopkins and T.S. Eliot. Ā A political blog with a shelf-life of three days is no place to discuss “the permanent things” (to borrow a famous phrase from Eliot himself), and I have...
Migrant Surge Brings Killers and Criminal Gangs
Not everyone violating the border is a hardened criminal, but President Joe Biden's open borders are allowing the worst to get in.
Richard Holbrooke: An American Diplomat
Ā A few hours before Richard Holbrookeās death last Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a group of Americaās top diplomats gathered at the State Department for a Christmas party that he was āpractically synonymous with American foreign policy.ā Her assessment is correct: Richard Holbrookeās career embodies some of the least attractive traits of...
When 007 is caught with a smoking gun
Ā What do you do? Ā The is the question that everyone should have been asking from the first news of Ā Raymond Allen Davis’s arrest in Pakistan three weeks ago. Ā Mr. Davis, after shooting and killing two Pakistanis, was put under arrest. The US immediately demanded his release, claiming diplomatic immunity and insisting that he...
I Remember
For some years I have lived in QuĆ©bec as a friendly alien from the United States, traveling from time to time back to my native Minnesota and other states to practice law in my fields of interest.Ā I am married to a French-Canadian wife who is a member of the bar and mairesse of our...
The GOPās Secret Weapon
If the war with Iraq was largely the work of the Likudnik faction that has commandeered the Bush administrationās Middle East policies, the liberation of Liberia on which the President suddenly embarked the nation last summer seems to have originated at least in part with yet another lobby of questionable loyalties.Ā On July 7, as...
Mad Scots and Indians
It would be easy to view the recent spate of movies and documentaries that side with Amerindians against the white man as no more than a long-delayed surge of racial revenge, and of course that emotion is openly expressed in all of them. I refer to the cycle, begun by Dances with Wolves, that includes...
Modern Elections and Heads of Households
What makes voting for your ruler a legitimate practice? Jean-Jacques Gore prattled nonstop throughout November about the need for “every vote to count” because then, and only then, would the “will of the people” be expressed. And Republicans offered no real counterargument, other than the sage comment of (President?) Bush: “We’ve counted the votes; now...
A Few Simple Queries
If I could ask our young President a few questions, they would run something like this: āAt what point would you say, āThere.Ā We finally have as much government as we need.Ā To give it any more power would be tyrannous and would diminish our God-given rightsā?Ā I sense that you have never asked yourself...
Obamaās Biden Problem
Despite our high expectations, Vice President Joe Bidenās first months in office were disappointing. This, remember, is the man who opened the more recent of his two futile runs for the presidency by saying of Obama that he was āthe first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I...
The First Debate: Advantage, Clinton
The debate was not a hands-down victory for Hillary Clinton, as the media pack predictably claims, but on Monday night Donald Trump missed a great opportunity to damage her credibility and question her record. For that reason she has grounds to feel pleased with the outcome. Clinton was the first to mention Wall Street, but...
On Public Enemies
Your October 1998 issue struck a particularly agreeable note. I am 62, and the society that I knew as a child and young man has been so corrupted that, when I describe that former time to young people, they believe I am indulging some sort of fantasy. Still, the question posed by Thomas Fleming (“Mob...
An American Sniper
A galloglass was a professional warrior hired by an Irish chief.Ā The practice of employing such men became common in the decades following the Norman invasion, when it became obvious that heavily armed and mail-clad fighters were needed to contest the battlefield.Ā One Irish contemporary described how the Gaels of Ireland had gone into battle...
America in Spanish?
American Airlines flies you down to San Jose daily, all announcements in English. Indeed, almost everyone in the Costa Rican capital seems able to speak excellent English, prompting the irony of local kids all studying the language hard, to be impeded from practicing it should they reach compulsorily bilingual schools in America. As a matter...
America Firstāor World War III
“If you’re in favor of World War III, you have your candidate.” So said Rand Paul, looking directly at Gov. Chris Christie, who had just responded to a question from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer as to whether he would shoot down a Russian plane that violated his no-fly zone in Syria. “Not only would I be...
General Lewis MacKenzie on the Balkans War
Edward Gibbon wrote, “As long as the same passions and interests subsist among mankind, the questions of war and peace, of justice and policy, which were debated in the councils of antiquity, will frequently present themselves as the subject of modern deliberation.” To a career soldier there is something incongruous in the business of “peacekeeping.”...
Critic’s Choice
Like any civilized society, America reveres its artists. Unfortunately, in this as in most other things, we tend to go overboard. Consequently, we are all too often subjected to the spectacle of a ludicrous buffoon like Gore Vidal on national television pontificating on public policy questions, or a Norman Mailerāa man who once stabbed one...
What We Are Reading: January 2024
Short reviews of Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism, 1933-1944, by Franz Neumann; Counter Wokecraft, by Charles Pincourt and James Lindsay; Love and the Genders by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn; and, Major Pettigrewās Last Stand by Helen Simonson.
The DC Statehood Power Grab
“How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg?” asked President Abraham Lincoln, who answered his own question: “Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” And Congress’ saying that D.C. is a state would equally contradict truth and reality, as our nation’s capital lacks...
Our Mideast Fetish
Somewhere over the Atlantic, there is an Islamic militia that has proclaimed an Islamic state. It controls territory in several countries, has kidnapped and murdered many innocent people, including Christians, and openly professes its disdain for Western learning. Despite the undeniably barbarous nature of this militia, no American politician of note has advocated using American...
America’s Deceitful Elite
Lying is the new normalĀ as far as our governing elite are concerned. Of course, Iām talking about the news organizations, Big Tech, āwokeā billionaires, and the celebrity class of illiterate know-nothings on social media. I smelled a rat way back in 2015 when I read the opening remarks of Hillary Clintonās address to the Women...
Noah’s Ark or a Nation State?
A Noah’s Ark or a nation state? seems to be the question posed by the U.S. immigration policy. “Eviction[s] because of building charcoal fires indoors or slaughtering animals in the bathtub” are only some of the problems facing immigrant Hmong and Mein tribesmen in California. Others are “their medicinal use of opium, their capturing of...
An Albanian Travelogue
Ā Iāve just returnedĀ from Albania, almost 22 years after visiting that country for the first time. In July 1991 I went there on an assignment withĀ U.S. News & World Report, only weeks after the countryās borders were finally opened to foreigners after 45 years of hermetic isolation. I have visited many countries over the years,...
