Leftist politics is an endless drop shaft and as a society free falls into it, it passes gulags, generational ones (in North Korea), death camps, mass famine, genetic engineering (China) and every horror imaginable. So the thing you think is absolutely insane turns out to be the gateway to the next house of horrors. View the Mamdani administration in that light. The new wave of DSAers are here to implement...

Students at the University of Nottingham are upset after a history course labeled J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings as racially offensive. The controversy comes from a module called Decolonising Tolkien et al, taught by historian Dr. Onyeka Nubia, which examines how British literature has historically reflected racial bias. According to course materials, darker-skinned characters in Tolkien’s works, including orcs and other groups, are depicted as morally corrupt, while lighter-skinned characters are shown as virtuous. The module argues these depictions tie into a long tradition of racial stereotyping. The course also examines how Tolkien’s Eastern characters, such as Easterlings,...

One of the most dangerous illusions Americans are living under today is the belief that safety is ambient, existing automatically, everywhere, and at all times, by virtue of laws, norms, or declarations. For decades, we have been trained to assume that public spaces are fundamentally benign and that vigilance itself is somehow antisocial or unnecessary. That assumption is no longer valid. A steady stream of viral videos now documents what many quietly sense: sudden assaults in stores, flash-mob robberies, random attacks on public transport, group intimidation in ordinary places. These are not war zones or failed states. They are malls,...

After a few seconds, Metcalf reached up, threw a punch at the fan with his closed right hand and walked away. Because there was no flag thrown during the incident with the fan, the NFL cannot weigh in on a disqualification, which is why Metcalf could continue playing.

In a speech at the December 2025 Turning Point USA summit in Phoenix, Arizona, Vice President J.D. Vance declared, “In the United States, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.” There was an overwhelming and immediate meltdown on the left, replete with the usual vile epithets and accusations of “white supremacy,” as headlines on the internet blared, “JD Vance Goes Full White Nationalist at TPUSA Event,” and NPR declared, “Vance Refuses to Set Red Line Over Bigotry at Turning Point USA’s Convention.” Within this echo chamber, the accusations of blatant racism assumed avalanche proportions. New York Times columnist...

Twilight of the Magicians: Aleksandr Dugin and the War Against the West "If the Fourth Political Practice is not able to realize the end of times, then it would be invalid.

It is a practice.” ALEKSANDR DUGIN, THE FOURTH POLITICAL THEORY [I] The “philosopher” who has done the most to justify Russia’s war against the West is Aleksandr Dugin.
