I have read or viewed literally hundreds of references to the “deadly” events of Jan. 6., the implication of each being that the “insurrectionists” were a murderous bunch willing to kill anyone who got in their way. In March of 2021, 2 people were charged with the murder of officer Brian Sicknick but subsequent investigation …

The “Whole” which Socialism prioritizes above the Individual is a meaningless term utterly impervious to that multitude of qualities, moral, intellectual and otherwise, which distinguish each and every person on the planet. To sacrifice the welfare of the Individual out of concern for the “good of the Whole” not only violates every civilized notion of …
Police Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic, already wounded by her assailant, 25 year old Darius Sullivan, pleaded for her life after having been stripped of her weapon by Sullivan and his girlfriend Xandria Harris. She and her partner, Tyler Bailey, had been called to investigate a simple noise complaint at a motel on Dec. 29, only to …
On Dec.4, physicist Lawrence M. Krauss published a piece in Canada’s National Post entitled “The offence offensive.” Its subject is the absurdity of a Culture in which any statement deemed “offensive” by any individual or group is likely not only to be denounced as “hate speech” but quite possibly to spell the end of a …

As I have discussed elsewhere, the Cultural Revolution signaled by Woodstock actually began with 19th Century Romanticism, many of its iconic figures being, by traditional Western standards, moral degenerates. According to a recently published Blaze article, the city of Philadelphia was plagued with 562 murders in 2021, a significant increase over the 356 committed in …
News Max recently attempted a telephone interview with Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 “insurrectionist” who, while claiming any violence of which he was guilty on that day was simply a matter of self-defense against an unduly aggressive Capitol Police force, has nevertheless been held in solitary confinement with no chance at bail for almost a …
Republican Lauren Boebert recently said: “When Democrats say something is a ‘threat to Democracy,’ it really means it is a threat to the Democratic Party.” If a bill is supported by 60% of the Senate, it cannot be stymied by filibuster. But the Democrats do not enjoy such a majority. In order to circumvent that …
I am a fourth generation Italo-Canadian whose great grandparents came from Italy shortly after the First World War. Relatively intelligent, I find Michael Eric Dyson’s racialized perspective utterly absurd…..i.e., I approach the world not as an Italian, but as a Thinking Human Being. My pre-postmodern educators, given that Canada was clearly a product of British …
Shortly after the Nov. 2 election of Winsome Sears to the position of Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, Michael Eric Dyson appeared on MSNBC with Joy Reid to discuss the significance of her victory. Sears is a woman of Color, the first to hold such a position in the state. Inspired by her father who came …
As is standard procedure in this post-rational, post-moral, “progressive” world, “marginalized” individuals whose Ideas or Behavior garner criticism of any sort immediately tend to invoke their Identity as the cause of that criticism. It is the tactic employed relentlessly by the political Left to divert attention from the often risible substance of both its beliefs …
