“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

A hard lesson from the Dirt World

Do y’all remember what I wrote recently about how India has a serious illegal immigration problem from Bangladesh? Here is a rather good take on the subject that goes beyond simple anecdotal evidence, from Daniel Greenfield: India’s 2,582 mile border with...

“The Member of Parliament for the 18th Century”

The new Prime Minster of PommieBastardLand, Boris Johnson, may well be a bit of a clown – at least on the surface – but there is absolutely no doubt that he has some serious intellectual firepower underneath that floppy mop of silly hair and that big...

Immigrants are a global problem

Anyone who has not been living under a rock for the past five years knows perfectly well at this point that the one and only real political issue of concern to the entire Western world right now is immigration. Everything else is basically a secondary problem at this...

Blue-on-red

I’ve been banging on for some time now about how the USA is a dying empire inhabiting the footprint of a long-destroyed nation, and will eventually split apart into at least three separate constituents. I have gotten considerable pushback on this subject from...

Hand up if you’re surprised

The F-35 Joint Strike Flying Piano is sort of like a slow-motion car crash: utterly horrifying as a whole, oddly fascinating in its little details, and you cannot stop yourself from staring at the awful spectacle of its self-inflicted demise, even though you know...

The Grand Strategikon and Excruciator Majoris of the Evil Legion of Evil had some interesting points to make with respect to my Memorial Day post: You listen to certain members of the alt-right too much. We’re too frigging geographically intertwined to break up...

Now that’s a bloody brilliant idea

Apparently it’s the 30th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and Steven Hayward over at Power Line had an interesting brainwave to help commemorate the tragedy: Almost 12 or 15 years ago now I was teaching a class at Georgetown as a visiting lecturer,...
