Well, this looks absolutely horrid.
So far, the pattern seems to be that liberals and leftists riot in the Spring and Summer (like baseball and tennis), while conservatives and rightists riot in the Winter (like basketball and hockey). So the question is: Does that mean moderates and centrists are supposed to be rioting […]

Which is why the extreme left is attacking it.
In 1992, I was a producer for the PBS show: “The 90’s” This was an Emmy Award winning production know as a kind of funky 60 minutes. During the Presidential race for that year, Tom Laughlin had thrown his hat into the race. I had been assigned the […]
By Anondah Saide & Kevin McCaffree, Skeptic Research Center The purpose of our initial study, the Social and Political Attitudes Study (SPAS), was to discover which political issues most divide people, and also to discover how the most divided people see the world. In our new study, Civil […]

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Sometimes I have this dream. A terrible dream. A dream about a war. It begins like any other war, with a big country attacking a weaker one. An empire chases an army of starving ghosts into a deep […]
All of us have been born and raised in an era in which the United States of America was the most powerful country in the world and it was in a position to determine many things on the global stage. The USA has been the one and only […]

Shopping malls in the U.S. were already in decline before the Covid-19 pandemic as consumers shifted away from traditional brick-and-mortar stores to e-commerce. The outbreak has only exacerbated the challenges at malls as social distancing has placed restrictions on stores, movie theaters and restaurants. So what will become […]
Point Roberts, Wash., on a peninsula jutting out from Canada beneath the 49th parallel, is a tiny piece of America separate from the U.S. mainland.

As Oracle, Palantir and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise move their headquarters out […]
This nails it. Tuition at America’s public universities has nearly tripled since 1990. With President Biden looking to ease the burden for some students, experts explain how federal financial aid programs can actually contribute to rising costs.
I’ve often pissed off social conservatives by defending the rights of cultural groups who favor these kinds of “alternative” family arrangments to do their own thing, just as I have pissed off leftists and progressives by defending the rights of cultural groups who favor polygamy, arranged marriages, and […]
The two articles from Center for a Stateless Society linked to below illustrate very well the primary basis of the conflict between myself and the mainstream left-anarchist milieu. The first article calls for the creation of more nations, but only if they all have a liberal government, and […]

Okay, this does merit “criticism.” It’s interesting how the left and FOX News are now converging in their definition of “socialism.” Carlson is not a socialist. He’s an economic nationalist. Glenn’s not a socialist either. He’s a progressive liberal. Given that it’s now once again fashionable for a […]
And here are the Sedarites attacking Greenwald. I also find Glenn’s politics to be a bit milquetoast, like Jimmy Dore’s, but he at least makes the effort. This is the guy who broke the Snowden case after all. Glenn Greenwald just seems to be going off the rails […]
The Sedarites attack Jimmy. I’m not a fan of Jimmy’s progressivism, which I think is far too milquetoast, statist, and reformist. But it’s interesting how folks like Dore or Glenn Greenwald or others on the left who make any effort at all to build working class solidarity, anti-imperialism, […]

This is an overview of the plans for the conquest of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia developed by the neocons in the 1990s, and put into practice during the Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden regimes. Of course, what I find amazing is that so […]

By John Wilnes In 1971, Dr. Seuss published a book you have almost definitely heard of: The Lorax. Generally regarded as a visionary masterpiece of world-making in children’s literature, some predictably called the work out as a didactic, anti-capitalist work of socialist propaganda for its take on the […]
By Glenn H. Reynolds, New York Post In America, class warfare is often disguised as culture war, and culture war is often cloaked by talk of race. But underneath it all, the class warfare is still there. Whether accidentally or intentionally, America’s upper classes seem to wind up […]
