Reflections on Missing the Circus
I have decided not to vote in November, the first time I have missed a presidential election since my vote for Goldwater in 1964. I am too old to stand in line for useless gestures.

Last Spaceship: Cinema
Dr. Fleming says that the cultural elite who read this site might be interested in applying the spaceship game to movies. Like it or not, they are the chief art form of our time
The Last Spaceship: A Culture Game
There is a game I play lately, probably a symptom of old age. If I was on the last spaceship leaving a dying Earth and I could take 10 books, what would they be? (Of course, since it is a game, you could expand it to 20 or 50.)
Samuel T. Francis, A Prophetic Voice
Dr. Francis passed away in 2005 at the early age of 57. But he left a treasury of commentary on the American regime of the 20th century that rang true for many at the time and since. Few commentaries on our current condition have been more acute and profound.

For Christian civilization the given universe is a divine design which includes the...
The “Genius of the People”
Our Founding Fathers in their deliberations often referred to “the genius of the people.” It was a concept long familiar in Western civilizational discussions of society and government. What did they mean?
General Silly Milley
It seems our new Chief of Staff of all the armed forces, one Milley, has come out in favour of teaching Critical Race Theory at West Point and has endorsed other “woke” opinions and initiatives. Who is this disgrace to every person who has ever died or suffered in arms for America in the last two centuries?
Imagine: Joe Biden Meets The Press
What a Presidential “press conference” might look like if the U.S. had real journalists. Imagine the answers. Or even a real system of debate where the Prime Minister has to answer questions from the Opposition. Or even if we had a real Opposition party.
