Introduced to Mary Harrington by Bari Weiss’ Free Press, I don’t pretend to have fully researched her and have not yet read her recently published book “Feminism Against Progress.” But what I have learned from watching various interviews and reading several articles about her, has led me to see her intellectual evolution as one of …

Woke Madness…It’s Real and it’s Everywhere!
In N.Y.C., Robynn Europe, a 39 year old Black woman employed by Equinox at an Upper East Side Gym, was recently awarded 11.25 million dollars in damages after having been fired for what she claimed were racial reasons. Problem is, in her 10 month stint with the company, she had been late 47 times! Fully …

Conservatism Stokes Antisemitism???
The multiple newspaper articles I have read on groups such as The Proud Boys and The Oath Keepers never cease engaging in gross generalizations about their members as well as exaggerations of the violent threat they pose to our Western Democracies. When I ask my educated “liberal” friends to cite examples of their widespread disruptive …
And Justice for All?
Forty-four year old Black man Christopher Neely of N.Y. was arrested on May 22 for violating the terms of his parole after having served 6 months in prison in 2019 for the crime of grand larceny. Strange thing is, this was the twentieth time he has been arrested since last June! Neely is the uncle …
The Left’s Intellectual Bankruptcy on Full Display
Wade Davis is an anthropology professor at the U. of British Columbia. On Sept. 10, 2022, he published a massive article in The Globe and Mail celebrating Indigenous Cultures, while demonizing Western Civilization’s assumption of its superiority as just so much myopic arrogance. The intellectual and moral relativism underlying his politics is fairly obvious in …

Where Have all the Flowers Gone?
I am a Boomer who was passionately committed to the quest for social justice that became the chief focus of much of the Folk Music of the 1960s. The Kingston Trio’s “500 Miles” clearly suggested that The American Dream of Liberty and Equality for all had somehow failed to materialize. I fully agreed. But what …
Racist Fireworks?
Having decided to cancel Calgary’s Canada Day fireworks display, the city, in response to widespread public outrage, decided to reinstate the event. The rationale behind the cancellation was perhaps best expressed by city councilor Kourtney Penner who tweeted that such displays implicitly promoted “colonialism and racism.” She was, she said, “actively anti-racist, working at truth …
The Rob Squad
In 2022, a young Black couple living in Oklahoma launched a You Tube program showing them reacting to a variety of music which they were more or less hearing for the first time. They have since garnered hundred of thousands of viewers worldwide. Jordan Robinson, husband to the lovely Amber, says he was raised primarily …
They lie because we’re too dumb to deal with the Truth!
The Epoch Times was founded by Chinese ex-patriots whose disgust with the tyranny of their former Communist overlords has led them to be staunch “conservative” supporters of the Principles of Freedom of Speech and Conscience. They are of course demonized by most on the Left as Right-Wing fanatics. On May 29, The Times published an …

“Wokeness” was born 200 years ago!
Douglas Murray is, like myself, a staunch defender of Western Civilization, as the title of his 2022 book “The War on the West” clearly implies. This of course does not mean we agree on everything. On May 21, The Free Press published a piece by Murray celebrating the amazing zest for life of the 19th …
