Nexus X HumectressPrediction: There will eventually be a split on the right between the more effete conservatives and the more lowbrow types. The effete types will also split between those who sound more like CNN and essentially become Democrats, whether de jour or de facto, and those who remain in […]
The neocons are plotting their comeback in the Republican Party even while they are also colonizing the Democratic Party.
It couldn’t happen to nicer people. The aristocrats are on their way out. Time to attack the bourgeoisie. Will the Repugs try to rig a foreign policy crisis before the election to distract from domestic issues? Look for the Repugs to start escalating their rhetoric against China and […]
Kudos to Krystal for mentioning Fred Hampton is this segment. Krystal Ball gives her thoughts on coverage of the protests nationwide and why she believes Donald Trump manufactured a crisis by sending Federal agents to big cities.
The only viable alternative to fossil fuels is either nuclear power or simply regressing to a pre-industrial level of technological development. Environmental Activist, Michael Shellenberger, discusses his book, ‘Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All,’ and explains why he believes the people who are the most alarmist […]
Freelance writer, Rav Arora, shares his thoughts on white privilege and explains what he says are the, “glaring fallacies of white-privilege narrative.”
This is kind of a minor league version of when the Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution were purging the elderly veterans of the original Chinese Revolution.
Todd Lewis joined by Keith Preston, Right Ruminations and Swithun Dobson to discuss our thoughts on how 2020 in the USA will develop.
She was shot in the head by Trump’s stormtroopers in Portland, Oregon, this past weekend. She was a member of the “Wall of Moms.” By Kristen Jessie-Uyanik I want to preface this difficult post by saying that Black Lives Matter and that should remain at the center of […]
James Lindsay outlines the intellectual trajectory of totalitarian humanism, political correctness, wokeness, cultural Marxism, whatever one wants to call it, pretty thoroughly in this, although I would add more emphasis on 19th century Progressive Christianity and Maoism during the Cultural Revolution period than what he mentions. He focuses […]
A political scientist describes the methods the Democrats will eventually use to create a one-party state (which he favors as a “progressive”). The Dutton strategy that was devised in 1970 (co-optation of the cultural left by corporate liberals) is nearly complete half a century later. As soon as […]
A reader points out a glaring weakness that is found in the full range of anti-state movements. Keith, I’ve been thinking over for a while now how it is that people who are ostensibly anti-state in theory can end up defending the state in practice, all the while […]
A sign that a state is losing its legitimacy is when judicial orders are openly defied, or when there are violent attacks on the judiciary. There was an assassination attempt on a federal judge in New Jersey last week, and now the alternative media is simply saying to […]
By STEVE PEOPLES and HANNAH FINGERHUT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Murtice Sherek is not excited about Joe Biden. The Minnesota Democrat, a 79-year-old retired nurse, preferred another candidate in the presidential primary. She also worries about Biden’s age, 77. But anxious about another four years of President […]
Is another shutdown coming? By Christina Maxouris CNN As more Covid-19 records get broken, debates on whether to send kids back to school or to shut down the economy again are coming to a head. More than 1,000 people died every day for four straight days last week […]
The second wave is upon us. By Philip Wen, Joyu Wang Wall Street Journal Australia reported only a handful of new coronavirus cases in early June, while Hong Kong went three weeks without a single locally transmitted infection that month. Japan had already lifted a state of emergency […]
By Mike Baker, Thomas Fuller and Shane Goldmacher New York Times SEATTLE — A series of strident new protests over police misconduct rattled cities across the country over the weekend, creating a new dilemma for state and local leaders who had succeeded in easing some of the turbulence […]
Last Real Indians Kinder-Morgan’s application for approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion (TMX) has been bouncing around in Canada’s federal courts like a pinball since 2013. First Nations tribes and environmental groups have valiantly worked the flippers of the judicial pinball machine for years, filing lawsuits and […]
As I have been saying for years, the US police state (the largest of any country that is a formal democracy) has grown to the point where it no longer limits its attacks to those on the bottom layers or the margins of the social stratification system. It […]
By Nate Cohen Hey all, So update from the Portland front. Before I go any further I want to say that I’m gonna be ok and it was close but I am luckily not critically injured. And Black Lives Matter. Feel free to share this post. A little […]
By Arun Gupta The Intercept Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty agrees with other elected officials in Oregon who say federal police dispatched to the city by President Donald Trump are an “occupying army,” represent “a blatant abuse of power,” and are “shadowy forces” that have been “escalating, […]

As a general rule, I am opposed to demonstrations in residential areas and at the homes of individuals. A bad precedent and general tactical error. But I could make an exception in this case. By Justine Coleman The Hill

Nice work. Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A protest through the streets of downtown Oakland, California, in support of racial justice and police reform turned violent when a small group of demonstrators wearing helmets and goggles and carrying large signs that doubled as shields set fire to […]

People are individuals, not colors. “…among self-identified Democrats, blacks and Latinos are less likely to describe themselves as liberal than whites. Data from this AP/NORC poll comports with Pew’s findings: The majority of blacks say they are moderate (44 percent) or conservative (27 percent), while just 26 percent […]
By Peter Aitken FOX News Opposing militias met in downtown Louisville on Saturday, ending a tense standoff without any violence, according to authorities. The Louisville Metro Police Department claimed to have advanced warning about two heavily armed militias that planned to protest on Saturday. The “Three Percenter” militia […]
The battle lines have obviously been drawn between the partisans, but what I am most curious about is what the actual turnout for the election is going to be. This 13% seems to come mostly from the “politically disengaged” category identified by the “Hidden Tribes” study from 2018. […]
Trumpists should remember that this is the system that will be inherited by future presidents Biden, Harris, O’Rourke, Buttigieg, Rice, Power, Newsom, Cuomo, Whitmer, etc. By Umair Haque Void Network Yesterday, the Mayor of Portland was gassed by the secret police of storm troopers that Donald Trump has […]
By Paul Meara BET Bernell Trammell, a Black Donald Trump supporter, was reportedly shot and killed in Milwaukee on Thursday (July 23). According to Fox 6, the 60-year-old was gunned down during a drive-by shooting in the neighborhood where he was known for displaying signs reading “Vote Trump […]
By Rand Paul Reason In a free society, citizens should be able to easily distinguish between civilian law enforcement tasked with keeping the peace in our communities and the armed forces tasked with protecting our country from foreign adversaries. Unfortunately, thanks to the federal government flooding our neighborhoods […]
The construction site for a new youth jail in Seattle is definitely on fire right now.
To ask the question is to answer. Somehow, the USA managed to exist for 200 years without the DHS. By Jonathan Blitzer New Yorker
A fairly interesting fourth-generation warfare approach. In Portland, the Hockey Stick Brigade is now in force, smacking tear gas canisters back in the direction they came from: the illegal occupying army.
Municipal police typically function as the private army of politically-connected business and real estate interests. This is a fairly significant fourth-generation warfare victory, relatively speaking.
I’m happy to see leftists chanting “Feds Go Home.” But will they keep it up if Trump leaves and Biden comes in? By Mike Baker and Hallie Golden New York Times SEATTLE — After weeks of escalating confrontations between protesters and federal authorities in Portland, Ore., a crowd […]
This is currently going on in my area, lol. By Sabrina Moreno Richmond Times-Dispatch The Richmond Police Department declared an unlawful assembly just after 11 p.m. Saturday night as hundreds of protesters gathered outside its downtown headquarters on West Grace Street. Shortly after that declaration, and after some […]
I came across this recent statement from a leftist activist. The comments below were made as part of a wider argument that opposition to PC is nothing more special pleading by reactionaries who merely want to be exempt from criticism, which is the standard leftist reply to criticisms […]
I found these comments on a Twitter thread. I reposted it here because it is a good example of the kinds of arguments used by defenders of PC, wokeness, cancel culture, etc. I could offer an extensive critique of this but it’s probably sufficient to say that this […]
Some interesting observations by David Brooks, a neocon mouthpiece who occasionally has something interesting to say (his “bourgeois bohemians” thesis, for example). “Sixty-two percent of Americans say they are afraid to share things they believe, according to a poll for the Cato Institute. A majority of staunch progressives […]
This is an interesting study. It appears that self-censorship is rooted more in fear of offending others in one’s immediate circle than in actual fear of institutional censorship (whether public or private). The apparent cause is the level of general political polarization that exists in the wider society. […]
By Keith Preston A book published a couple of years ago, which is reviewed by the Guardian below, outlines the structural methods the Democrats will eventually use to create a de facto one-party state as they continue to gain the upper hand through cultural, demographic, technological, generational, and […]
James Lindsay on the theology of the new theocracy. The two most important things that are happening in the developed world at the present time are the re-feudalization of class relations and the growth of totalitarian humanism as the self-legitimating ideology of the rising ruling class. Just as […]
By Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean New York Times Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and […]
One thing that Trumpists and “conservative” cop-lovers should remember is that the ongoing expansion of the police state by each successive President will eventually be inherited by someone like future President Kamala Harris.
