Mass Immigration and Socialist Sanctuaries

December 9, 2024 By Fay Voshell God-kings who ruled over ancient civilizations and tyrannous authoritarians of modern times have utilized trusted means of achieving radical cultural change: the mass movement or genocidal elimination of peoples. Whether it was Nebuchadnezzar’s deportation of Jews to Babylon or Mao Tse-tung’s employment of the “Down to the Countryside” program, designed to banish and reform bourgeois youths, the plans were designed to reconfigure the social structure of nations and peoples. The mass migrations being experienced by the United States have been and still are being employed by the Biden/Harris administration as a tool to change America

No, you are not on Indigenous land

Pieces of territory belong to institutions, not to racial groups. Noah Smith Nov 30, 2024 “Cahokia Mounds” by Northfielder, CC BY 2.0 The United States, like all nations, was created through territorial conquest. Most of its current territory was occupied or frequented by human beings before the U.S. came; the U.S. used force to either displace, subjugate, or kill all of those people. To the extent that land “ownership” existed under the previous inhabitants, the land of the U.S. is stolen land. This was also true before the U.S. arrived. The forcible theft of the land upon which the U.S. now exists

A Disaster Foretold

November 30, 2024 By Lars Møller     Image: Public domain. The myth of Laocoön is tragic. In vain, he warned his countrymen in Troy against opening the gate to the colossal wooden horse left behind by Greek invaders. However, he was blinded by the gods who then had him killed by giant sea serpents. So, it is not as if it has not been foretold. As a matter of fact, it has been the subject of countless essays, speeches, and novels. We cannot plead ignorance. In retrospect, the “Rivers of Blood” speech by British Member of Parliament Enoch Powell, a modern

American Paralysis And Decline

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: American Paralysis And Decline OPINION VICTOR DAVIS HANSONCONTRIBUTOR February 29, 20247:01 PM ET “We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies.” So shrugged the ancient historian Livy (59 B.C –A.D. 17) of the long decline of Roman national character that, in his age, finally ended the Roman Republic. Like a patient whose medicine proves worse than the disease, Livy lamented that the Romans knew that they had become corrupt and lawless. But the very contemplation of the hard medicine needed for restoration — and the furious reaction that would meet the remedy — made it impossible

Eight Startling and Uncomfortable Ways the Democrats emulate the Nazi Party

The Democrat party has been a stain on the nation since its founding in 1828 by a virulently racist president, Andrew Jackson.  It was the party of slavery and the Confederacy, it initiated racial segregation by legislating and brutally enforcing Jim Crow laws.  It unabashedly aligned with and supported the Ku Klux Klan for over nine decades, thus promoting antisemitism, religious persecution and xenophobia.  Over the past 60 years, the Party has embraced and promulgated cultural Marxism which espouses the transformation of traditional American culture and society.  The Party has succeeded in undermining the family structure and religious freedom as well as mainstreaming abortions up to the point

Racism in America Today: A Real or Manufactured Problem?

THOMAS KLINGENSTEIN (SPONSORED) 17 Aug 2023511 The following content is sponsored by author, playwright, and Chair of the Claremont Institute Thomas Klingenstein. While nobody denies that racist people exist all over the world, including in the U.S., racism in America today is, to a very significant degree, a manufactured problem, crafted by woke Leftists in order to overthrow the American way of life. The Left claims there exists an intolerable, all-pervasive system of white oppression and if you disagree, they will destroy you and may even inflict violence. The woke tell us that racism has gotten worse, but this is drivel. As I explain

Fiddling America Away

We fixate only on the irrelevant that we think we can address while ignoring the existential we know we no longer can solve. By Victor Davis Hanson April 10, 2023 The last few weeks, the world had been writing off the United States as either crazy or irrelevant as it watches America cannibalize itself. Friends tremble at our sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the ascendant non-American side. The symptoms of our decline abroad appear everywhere. The more Joe Biden brags about the crippling oil sanctions on Russia, friends like India and allies like Japan ignore

Vivek Ramaswamy Picks Apart ‘Woke’ America’s ‘Systematic Racial Inequity’

699 JACOB BLISS 25 Mar 2023Washington, DC296 2:53 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy picked apart woke America’s idea of “systematic racial inequity” in a video uploaded to Instagram, claiming the government’s policies and practices “badly” failed black Americans. Ramaswamy said that the “central premise” of the woke movement in America is the claim that there is a “systematic racial inequity” between Americans, giving the example of white and black Americans. However, he claimed that the results show different outcomes when you look at how the data was taken. The Republican presidential candidate claimed that the government’s policies and practices “badly” failed black Americans when looking

RACE, CULTURE, AND EQUALITY

by Thomas Sowell      During the 15 years that I spent researching and writing my recently completed trilogy on racial and cultural issues,2 I was struck again and again with how common huge disparities in income and wealth have been for centuries, in countries around the world– and yet how each country regards its own particular disparities as unusual, if not unique.  Some of these disparities have been among racial or ethnic groups, some among nations, and some among regions, continents, or whole civilizations. In the nineteenth century, real per capita income in the Balkans was about one-third that in Britain.

The 10 Radical New Rules That Are Changing America

It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much. Prior presidents ran up huge annual deficits, but at least there were some concessions that the money was real and had to be paid back. Not now. As we near $30 trillion in national debt and 110 percent of annual

IRISH: THE FORGOTTEN WHITE SLAVES

Copied from Patrick Peters They came as slaves: human cargo transported on British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children. Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. Some were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives. We don’t really need to go

On the Peculiar Character of American “Racism”

David Azerrad Essay10.07.2020 The great self-evident truth of the Left. This essay was originally published at RealClear PublicAffairs. It is part of the 1776 Series, which “explains the major themes that define the American mind.”—Eds. That America is a racist country is the great self-evident truth of the Left and of the ruling class whose moral opinions are shaped by it. This truth is self-evident in the sense of being readily apparent to them, as evidenced by the countless disparities in life outcomes between blacks and whites. No explanation for these disparities is ever required. Their mere existence is proof of racism. The disparities between

The Black Trump Vote — Why African Americans should be very, very mad at the Democratic Party

Dr. Benjamin Wiker Post10.12.2020 Why African Americans should be very, very mad at the Democratic Party Polls show Trump’s support among Black Americans (and Hispanics) is rising. This suggests that black Americans are in fact angry at being coopted for Democrat Party causes, even while they are intimidated into silence by the cancel-culture tactics of the Left. Several other interesting indicators of anger: Kim Klacik, Candace Owens, Kanye West, Sharika Soal, Joe Collins: a growing list of black, highly visible celebrities and politicians who are fed up with Democrats. Republican congressional candidate Klacik’s viral video speaks for itself. Owen’s book Blackout has been riding

Want More Racism? Black Lives Matter Is How You Get More Racism

By I&I Editorial Board Sep. 6 2020 Rather than improve race relations, the Black Lives Matter movement has set them back a half-century. Nothing good will come of the bullying, violence and baseless accusations that are filling the news cycle. Just before President Donald Trump was to start his fourth year in the White House, the state of race relations, according to Gallup, had increased 14 percentage points since he took office. It was an achievement “any president after three years would want to claim, particularly President Obama,” said a CBS reporter. One would have thought that race relations would have

The Abusive Relationship Between White Guilt and Black Power

Move over, “White Fragility”: Shelby Steele’s “White Guilt” diagnoses our racial woes much more accurately.by BRADFORD H. B.August 18, 2020, 12:00 AM Protesters in Washington, D.C., June 3, 2020 (bgrocker/Shutterstock.com)  For many American Spectator readers, an especially troubling aspect of the recent racial eruptions likely has been the elevation of books like Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility, Ibram X. Kendi’s How To Be An Antiracist, and Ijeoma Oluo’s So You Want To Talk About Race into the national consciousness. Following the protests and riots in May and Jund, each of these previously published titles zoomed up Amazon’s bestsellers list, entrenching them further, no doubt, in college humanities syllabi across the

Are wrong messages sent about racism?

John Stossel Black Lives Matter protests led many people to want to do something useful to reduce racial injustice. Racial justice groups are being flooded with money. Big companies made multimillion-dollar donations. “Bad idea,” says Black radio host Larry Elder in my new video. “It is condescending… and not helpful. I urge white people to chill. Stop helping us, because you’re making things worse!” Making things worse, he says, because it supports the activists’ claim that “Blacks are victims of racism. (But) if racism were in America’s DNA, Obama never could have got elected. Racism has never been more insignificant

The illusion of intelligence of the imperious ‘woke’ Left

Ron Hart The three-month trial membership in “wokeness” is up, and America does not want to subscribe. With the monomaniacal desire to get rid of Trump, the leftist millennial “woke” crowd has overplayed its manufactured grievances. Some have become so “woke,” they can’t sleep. It turns out, most Americans do not like these whiny incoherent layabouts who are bent on making us bow to their whimsy. The media recently realized this and no longer show the ongoing riots, destruction and lawlessness of anarchists across the country in cities such as Minneapolis, Seattle and Portland. When visuals do not help their

Is racism responsible for today’s Black problems?

WALTER WILLIAMS  | Friday, July 31, 2020 7:00 p.m.APA protester carries an American flag upside down, a sign of distress, next to a burning building in Minneapolis May 28.  I doubt whether any American would defend the police treatment of George Floyd that led to his death. But many Americans are supporting some of the responses to Floyd’s death — rioting, looting, wanton property destruction, assaults on police and other kinds of mayhem by both whites and blacks. The pretense is that police conduct stands as the root of Black problems. According to the NAACP, from 1882-1968, there were 3,446 Black people lynched at

Are Leftists Literally Addicted To Hatred?

July 28, 2020 By Don Rosenberg Enthusiasm and passion have been a hallmark of political action over all of history.  Stating something strongly and with conviction gets attention and almost forces people to listen.  But the last three years have seen political passion turn into an explosion of hatred and anger like never before.  Why is this? Psychologists say that anger arises when we have an unmet demand.  Some angry reactions are reasonable, such as objecting to bad service at an expensive restaurant, or protesting against an injustice, but others are irrational, such as shooting a gun at someone who

What Causes White Guilt

July 6, 2020 By John Eidson “I’m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame.” So tweeted virtue-signaling Hollywood actress Rosanna Arquette, whose three-sentence message had one purpose: to help the political party she supports mainstream the absurd idea that white people should be ashamed of their skin color and, by extension, ashamed of their predominately white country. Hollywood stars are not the only ones pushing white privilege ideology.  Marxist teachers and professors in our universities and public schools have systematically burdened millions of young white minds with guilt over the accident of

How to destroy America from within

by Gary Bauer | July 04, 2020 06:00 AM  What would you do if you wanted to destroy America? The first thing you would do is take control of the education system and teach children that they are living in an evil country. Then you would undermine the police, the military, and law enforcement. You’d use every opportunity you can to divide people by race, religion, and class. You would stoke feelings of grievance regardless of how much progress was being made to promote racial reconciliation and equal opportunity. You would attack churches, too. You’d teach children that there is no God,

The true plight of black Americans

BY WALTER WILLIAMS, Special to The Daily Home Jun 10, 2020 While it might not be popular to say in the wake of the recent social disorder, the true plight of black people has little or nothing to do with the police or what has been called “systemic racism.”  Instead, we need to look at the responsibilities of those running our big cities. Some of the most dangerous big cities are St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Newark, Buffalo and Philadelphia. The most common characteristic of these cities is that for decades, all of them have been

RUSH: There also, ladies and gentlemen, you know, one of the themes that I have been on for a long time, but I’ve been intensely trying to drive home a point for the last two weeks, three weeks, and that is the utter failure of the Democrat Party to come through for its constituents.

How Black Republicans Gain Their Identity by Losing It

By Jeremy Egerer In America, a black intellectual only joins the human race by joining the right wing.  I had almost said when he votes Republican.  Nearly all the other black “thinkers,” their writers and other disseminators of ideas, excluding maybe Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama, are too caught up in the black question to join the rest of us.  Thus the majority of their works, if not all of them, are focused on black people and the police, or black people in history, or black people in business, or black people in politics.  There’s no Thomas Sowell, who’s known primarily for

Colleges Dupe Parents and Taxpayers

Colleges have been around for centuries. College students have also been around for centuries. Yet, college administrators assume that today’s students have needs that were unknown to their predecessors. Those needs include diversity and equity personnel, with massive budgets to accommodate. According to Minding the Campus, Penn State University’s Office of Vice Provost for Educational Equity employs 66 staff members. The University of Michigan currently employs a diversity staff of 93 full-time diversity administrators, officers, directors, vice provosts, deans, consultants, specialists, investigators, managers, executive assistants, administrative assistants, analysts and coordinators.

Who are the racists in America?

Former presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said that racism in America is “foundational” and that people of color were under “mortal threat” from the “white supremacist in the White House.” Pete Buttigieg chimed in to explain that “systemic racism” will “be with us” no matter who is in the White House. Senator Cory Booker called for “attacking systemic racism” in the “racially biased” criminal justice system. Let’s follow up by examining Booker’s concern about a “racially biased” criminal justice system. To do that, we can turn to a recent article by Heather Mac Donald, who is a senior fellow at the

It’s Time to Declare War on Identity Politics

The one way to put a stop to “white supremacy.” byJEFF GOLDSTEINAugust 7, 2019, 12:02 AM Antifa marchers in Portland in 2018 (Shutterstock.com) Three years ago, writing in the Federalist, I noted how the Left’s embrace — and political deployment — of identity politics had given rise to, and become a perverse justification for (in its own hive mind), white supremacy, a blunt rejection of the collective call by the Left and academia to demonize whiteness. I pored over and unpacked the “alt-right manifesto” of an influential “thought leader” of the movement and found what was easily recognizable: a progressive strain placing it

The Seven Dumbest Things Democrats Demand You Believe.

Intellectual bankruptcy, underwritten by name-calling and intimidation. bySCOTT MCKAYJuly 29, 2019, 11:59 PMMatt Smith Photographer/Shutterstock.com We just concluded one of the strangest, and most illuminating, weeks in the history of American politics — a week in which the Democrat Party, through its majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives, exposed itself as not just driven by out-of-the-mainstream anti-American and anti-civilization ideologues but by radicals lacking the political skill to carry a message even with the aid of a slavish mainstream media. That was the takeaway from the Robert Mueller hearing on Wednesday, in which the Democrats’ anti-Trump cleanup hitter

Malcolm X was a courageous advocate for black civil rights, but unlike Martin Luther King, he was not that forgiving of whites for their crimes against black Americans. He did not eschew violence as a tool to achieve civil and human rights. His black and white detractors accused him of preaching racism and violence. Despite the controversy, he has been called one of the greatest and most influential

At the Women’s March in Washington the weekend after Mr. Trump’s inauguration, the pop star Madonna said, “I have thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.” Here hatred was a vanity, a braggadocio meant to signal her innocence of the sort of evil that, in her mind, the White House represented.
