“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.”

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...

In defence of normalcy

A few days ago I wrote about the fact that, to a mind steeped in the madness of feminism and the insistence of its adherents in treating men and women as entirely interchangeable, it can be jarring in the extreme to see what the world might look like when the...

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...

A few facts went a-missing

An interesting article over at Return of Kings the other day posited that Russia is becoming a rather good place for modern “unplugged” men to go, in order that they might expand their horizons: A man who (wisely) chooses to leave the Western world today...

An inconvenient parchment

Are Muslims required to get an ironioctomy before they convert to this so-called “religion”? New archaeological evidence regarding the origins and the age of the Koran are resulting in some rather interesting questions being asked of the one...

In case you think “Delhi Belly” isn’t real…

IT’S A TRAP!!! I can tell you from very real and very personal experience that if you visit India, you are virtually certain to get a nasty case of the trots at some point. The South African cricket team found this out in the worst possible way when TEN of...
