“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.”

In which I am greatly upset

Our good friend- or should I say, former friend?- Adam Piggott, the Gentleman Adventurer, decided to pull a Marc Antony and bury Caesar instead of praising him (by way of blatantly ripping off borrowing liberally from Don Rickles): Dear friends, dear...

It’s a real burden being right so often

Because Mal Reynolds, that’s why Turns out that it was, most likely, one of the Amish* that bombed the St. Petersburg metro on Monday: A former sushi chef from Kyrgyzstan has been named as the suicide bomber who murdered 14 and injured 50 in the St Petersburg...

The correct use for modern art galleries

Last year Paul Joseph Watson came up with one of his best videos that attempted to answer a simple question: why is modern art so… terrible? And here, about 15 months later, is the sequel: PJW is, of course, entirely correct to castigate modern art. There is...

God bless Texas- now and forever

Back in August 2013 I took a little holiday trip down to the Lone Star State to visit an old friend in San Antonio, and to see the Alamo. My efforts were amply repaid by the experience. And now I’m back again, on the very first holiday that I’ve planned...

And that’s how it’s done, lads

The very first episode of THE GRAND TOUR finally hit Amazon Prime earlier this week, and of course I was practically bouncing off the walls in anticipation when I sat down on Friday night to watch it. I had some idea of what to expect, but what I actually saw...

The children of a dying paradise

I recently wrapped up reading a short book- more like an extended essay or master’s thesis, really- by a chap named Julian Langness, who writes quite well and thoughtfully over at European Civil War. Part travelogue, part philosophical discourse on the current...

Where did you say you were from?

So my buddy and I were driving back from a fight night through upstate New York, through some truly spectacular countryside along the interstate winding through the Adirondacks and the Catskills, when we passed a town with a rather curious name. My friend turned...

Vote “LEAVE”, and become great again

Take up the White Man’s burden-And reap his old reward; The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard- The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light- “Why brought ye us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?” — From The...

“Survival cancels out programming”

(With apologies to LtCol. Tom Kratman for blatantly ripping off a, um, Kratmanism.) A little over ten years ago, a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the Army who had recently turned his hand to writing science fiction released a book “written in collaboration...
