The Brearley School Letter
The following letter was written by Andrew Gutmann, a father who was fed up with the obsessive focus on race by the elite Manhattan prep school his daughter attended.

Dual Morality Codes
More excellent work by Mr. Daniel Natal 8:29 – The Daniel Natal Show – 16 Apr 2021 The West has always been based on a unitary ethical structure, where everyone was equal before the law.

Army Oath of Enlistment
There is talk that those who presently occupy government in the District of Columbia want the soldiers who guard them to take an additional oath of loyalty. It is unclear exactly to whom or what this pledge is to be given. These men and women in the armed services have already sworn an oath to …

More Transgender Histrionics
Too ridiculous for even the Twilight Zone… Actor John Cleese was recently excoriated on Twitter for saying that he still did not understand what the deal was with trans people. He is 81 years old, and he is unable to get his mind around it — the concept of ‘transgenderism’. For context, note that as …

Archbishop Vigano – The Great Reset
This Letter to the President, written by Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, was brought to my attention by a friend. I thought it was particularly well written. I post it here not for religious purposes per se, but for the truth it exposes about the so-called Great Reset into which all the people of the …

Thoughts on the Election – 2020
“The role of declaring a winner of a presidential election in the U.S. falls to the news media.” — The New York Times Really? Since when? For those who do not know, it doesn’t matter what the news media says. The election is not over until the results have been officially certified by the states. …

A Quote from Wendell Berry
A Warning To My Readers Do not think me gentle because I speak in praise of gentleness, or elegant because I honor the grace that keeps this world. I am a man crude as any, gross of speech, intolerant, stubborn, angry, full of fits and furies. That I may have spoken well at times, is …

The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race, & Identity
34:18 – Eric Metaxas – 26 Oct 2020 I copied here part of the transcript, starting around 21:15, that I think is particularly meaningful in today’s socio-political climate.

Ron Paul – Principled Leadership
Ron Paul recently had a mild stroke while doing his daily Ron Paul Liberty Report. It caused me to reflect on how he had influenced my thinking on politics years earlier; my thoughts on what role government should have in our lives.

A Multiverse of Truths
“We choose truth over facts.” — Joe Biden We might assume that this was just another Biden gaffe, and it probably was, but it speaks also perhaps to a larger problem, that of myriad “truths.” “Your truth, my truth, their truth.” This was always and ever sophistry, and I assumed that this was self-evident to …

Joel Salatin: Thoughts on Changing Course
Writer, lecturer, and farmer Joel Salatin has been a hero of mine for many years, as both mentor and inspiration. He calls himself a “Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer.” I can really get behind that. I own a number of his books. This was a post to Joel’s blog on 17 Aug 2020 (3 …

Notes on Men and Fathers in Society…
This is from an interview I listened to last January of Denise McAllister at the studio of Eric Metaxas in New York. It is about 18 minutes in. This was so well said, I thought, that I scratched it down. Maybe a few others will find it meaningful as well. “This is why we now …

Stop Being So Afraid of Everything
Tucker Carlson mistakenly believes that we pay the Congress to “run the country.” Like hell we do, and we should put an end to this ignorance as quickly as possible. We absolutely do NOT want, need, or intend to have a group of people made up largely of CRIMINALS and SOCIOPATHS running this country. WE …

Racists and Homophobes Welcome Here
I saw a sign in front of a small business that said “Racists and Homophobes not welcome here.” Now if you feel the need to publish that, what does that say about you? If I was running a small business I think I would put up a sign that said “Racists and Homophobes welcome here, …

“We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…” — Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood; 1939 It is no secret how Margaret Sanger felt or believed about eliminating the “black weeds” as she called them.
