Nexus X HumectressBy John M. Dejak, Chronicles In the summer of 2003 my bride, our three little kids, and I headed to Chicago for that all-important summer job after my second year of law school. We acquired a “summer lease” for an apartment on North Orchard Street in the highly sought-after […]
The wrong side won. By Nicholas Longrich, The Conservation Around 600,000 years ago, humanity split in two. One group stayed in Africa, evolving into us. The other struck out overland, into Asia, then Europe, becoming Homo neanderthalensis – the Neanderthals. They weren’t our ancestors, but a sister species, […]
I found this on a social media site and thought it was interesting. I can’t say any of this is “wrong” (for one thing, it’s based on a single person’s observations and experiences). The only criticism I would have is that it underestimates the dangers of authoritarian leftism […]
By Mark Crispin Miller In a genuinely democratic country, where the will of the electorate is sacrosanct, there would be no rush to call a close, contested presidential race, especially one using new mail-in ballot systems nationwide. Rather, there would be a comprehensive, thorough and (somehow) impartial forensic […]
“Half-right — 49 out of 50 voters chose one of TWO sociopaths.” – Thomas L. Knapp By Tom Nichols, The Atlantic The moment every Donald Trump opponent has been waiting for is at hand: Joe Biden seems to be taking the lead. So why am I not happy? […]
By Jacob Sullum, Reason Oregon voters today approved a ballot initiative that decriminalizes noncommercial possession of all drugs, something no jurisdiction in the United States has ever done. With 70 percent of precincts reporting, 59 percent of voters favored Measure 110. The initiative’s supporters included the Oregon Democratic […]
Whether Trump is reelected or not, the main lesson I take from both 2016 or 2020 is this. Between all Trump voters, all third-party voters, and all non-voters (my people), a supermajority of Americans said to the ruling class, “No matter how fraudulent, malevolent, or incompetent the supposed […]
But how many of these folks really take this shit seriously and how many just don’t want to be left out of all the hype? By Rani Molla, Vox The early voter turnout rate for the 2020 election reached a record high, and it looks like total turnout […]
By Greg Shupak, The Nation This summer, Dave Calhoun, CEO of Boeing—builder of the intercontinental ballistic missile—declared himself cheerfully indifferent to the presidential election. “I think both candidates, at least in my view, appear globally oriented and interested in the defense of our country and I believe they’ll […]

By Paul Gottfried, Chronicles They may claim Marxist lineage, but Stalin, Castro, and Guevara would have precious little patience for today’s cultural revolutionaries. Is the current left Marxist? In a provocative commentary, Bill Lind explores this genealogical question, and, unless I’m mistaken, the left and much of its […]
By William Lind, Chronicles Our current cultural madness can trace its lineage back to the Frankfurt School, where innovative Marxists developed a new approach to deconstruct Western civilization. A shadow haunts the world. Over the last 75 years it has spread its errors over everything: art, education, music, […]
More John Wayne Gacy than Ted Bundy. By Caitlin Johnstone Waiting for the results of the US presidential election is like waiting to find out if you’re going to get hit by the mugger with the bat or the mugger with the crow bar. Dave Calhoun, CEO of […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Any violence arising from the US election or its aftermath will only benefit the powerful, will be used to justify authoritarian agendas which serve the powerful, and will in all probability have been instigated by the powerful. There are plenty of arguments to be made […]
By Rod Dreher, The American Conservative Well, I just returned from voting. Got up early to get to the polls when they opened at six a.m. Arrived a bit late — 6:20 — and there was already a long line. This was good, because it gave me more […]
By Angelo Codevilla, Claremont Review of Books On September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93’s passengers defied armed hijackers and fought to take over the cockpit regardless of danger or odds because they realized that certain death was the alternative. Michael Anton’s 2016 essay “The Flight 93 Election,” […]
More like the “role of the jerkers’ movement.” Of course, that would indeed make them the natural counterpart to the anti-fapper Proud Bitches. By Alejandro Reuss, Labor Notes “It can’t happen here.” That is the complacent mantra that a society with long-standing “democratic” institutions couldn’t possibly succumb to […]
By Judith Shulevitz, The Atlantic Casting a ballot by Election Day is just the first thing Americans have to worry about. What if President Donald Trump and his allies stop the counting of ballots, or delay vote certification until Republican state legislatures can play hanky-panky with the electors? […]
By William S. Lind, Traditional Right The last time America faced an election where two incompatible cultures contended was 1860. Then, the face-off was between the industrial culture of the North and the agri-culture of the South (as Wendell Berry reminds us, agriculture is culture). The result was […]
By Tim Reid, Gabriella Borter, Michael Martina.Reuters LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – When lifelong Democrat Mayra Gomez told her 21-year-old son five months ago that she was voting for Donald Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election, he cut her out of his life. “He specifically told me, ‘You are no […]
By Randall G. Holcombe, The Independent Institute A romantic view of democracy is that it gives citizens control over their governments. Citizens decide who holds power, and if those who are elected do not carry out the will of the voters, democratic elections provide the mechanism to replace […]
The best revolutions involve a minimal amount of bloodshed. The American Revolution was flawed, but it lacked the bloodletting of the French Revolution. The overthrow of the USSR ushered in the Yeltsin disaster, but it lacked the horrors of Bolshevism. The overthow of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines […]
By Jason Lee Byas, Center for a Stateless Society As you might have noticed, one of the (very quickly) upcoming Virtual Reading Groups will cover a wide selection of readings on left-libertarianism. So a reasonable question to ask, then, is just what is “left-libertarianism?”The term (as it’s being […]
By Logan Glitterbomb, Center for a Stateless Society As anarchists, we obviously reject representative democracy along with the state itself. As such, many anarchists advocate against voting in elections or even participating at all, seeing it as reinforcing and legitimizing the very system we’re fighting so hard to […]
This reminds me of when I was a teenager and rowdy fans would gather outside of venues where sports events, pro-wrestling matches, monster truck exhibitions, or rock concerts were about to begin.

By Murtaza Hussain, The Intercept In late January 2017, just weeks after Donald Trump was sworn in as commander-in-chief, U.S. troops carried out a raid in the southwestern Yemeni village of al-Ghayil that marked the start of his presidency with bloodshed. The raid, led by dozens of U.S. […]

These folks, and the financial, industrial, nuclear, and technological interests with which they are aligned, are the real enemy. By Duane Norman, in Current Events Exposing MSM Lies Politics While President Trump has changed federal-level politics in this country forever, the globalist cabal has proven that they’ve been […]
Saagar Enjeti reveals his predictions for Tuesday’s election.
The most interesting part of this is Krystal’s discussion of how the neocons are planning to put Liz Cheney forward as their new “leader” and how the neocons have colonized both parties. And at one point Krystal admits that politics is now just “pro-wrestling style entertainment.” Krystal Ball […]

Actually, it won’t be either. It will be just like the last four years with some asshole that makes a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth with the pundit class and chattering classes experiencing apoplexy in the process.
Nothing like stating the obvious.
