To the “conservative” mind, the safety of decent, law abiding citizens ought to be the preeminent responsibility of the government of any liberal Democracy. But to those of the “compassionate” Left, a good many of the criminals within our societies are the victims of social injustices which more or less exonerate them of their crimes, …

Who Really Killed Eliza Fletcher?
Young, White, attractive, and destined to inherit incredible wealth from her grandfather, Memphis entrepreneur Joseph Orgill, Eliza Fletcher must have seemed to her murderer the very epitome of White Privilege, the fundamental target relentlessly reviled by the contemporary Left. Jogging alone, as she was accustomed to do, in the early hours of Friday, Sept. 2, …
The Children are in Charge!
In late August, the Podcast Movement held its annual convention in Dallas, Texas. Among the many podcasts represented was The Daily Wire whose chief voice is “conservative” Ben Shapiro. The “Wire” was not included at all in the over 150 workshops to be conducted throughout the conference. Nor was Shapiro slated to speak. He was, …
Naomi Wolf with Steve Bannon ?????
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, universally loathed on the Left as a right wing fanatic, can be seen interviewing devoted feminist Naomi Wolf in a surprisingly congenial encounter on his June 2nd War Room podcast. Equally intriguing was her late August appearance on Canada’s Rebel News, an online site generally seen in this country as …
The Mindlessness of Inclusiveness: Lobotomies for Everyone!
In 2021 Canada’s Conservatives challenged Trudeau and his government to condemn the Chinese Communist’s apparently genocidal treatment of its Uyghur population, over a million of whom are presently in “re-education” camps in the northwest region of Xinjiang. Various human rights groups have expressed their outrage, Amnesty International declaring the Communist government’s treatment of this Turkic …

Reality bites D.C. Mayor in the butt!
In mid July Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser complained that the busloads of undocumented [i.e., illegal] immigrants being sent northward into her jurisdiction were creating chaos, their impact on already crowded homeless encampments being particularly dire. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has made no secret of the fact that he has dispatched several busloads to both …
Ideology parading as Science!
I have just re-read an article from my accumulated stack written for The Globe and Mail in July, 2020, by one Peter Turchin who calls himself a “complexity scientist.” A professor at the U. of Connecticut as well as a member of The Complexity Science Hub in Vienna, Turchin engages in what he suggests are …
L.A., Portland, Chicago, etc..
I have just recently learned of the increasing occurrence of “street takeovers” in cities such as L.A.. Hordes of young drivers block off urban intersections whereupon they proceed to rampage out of control, in some cases plundering major retail outlets. On Sunday, Aug 14, the Willowbrook neighborhood of L.A. was the site of such a …
There is No Unanimity on Global Warming!
I have already mentioned that 1600 put their names to Energy Advocate’s rejection of the 1997 Kyoto Accord which was ultimately rejected by the U.S. Senate. While some of the signators were exposed as frauds, the vast majority of them were perfectly qualified to comment on the climate issues involved. In 2007, in response to …
The Real Threat to our Democracies
In his first days in office Joe Biden used Executive Orders to ban all new oil and gas projects from various lands and offshore waters under federal jurisdiction. Thirteen states sued, challenging his right to do so. This past Thursday Terry Doughty, a United States district judge from Louisiana, ruled that the Executive Branch was …
