Wednesday’s Child: Workers United

By

“I hate the working class,” my godfather, an artist who painted dream landscapes and equally apolitical still lifes, liked to say between sips of lukewarm tea, I fear only half in jest.  I thought of him the other day, when a neighbor’s ancient water main – expanding from violent summer heat, or else dislodged by one of the minor earthquakes we get every so often in Palermo – leaked into my ceiling and I rushed out in search of somebody who could stop the flooding. I don’t know, perhaps Switzerland, Holland, or some other kind of Germany is an exception,...

The Tech Left, Censorship and the 2020 Election

By

Although he’s back on Twitter as of this writing, recently the tech giant locked gun scholar John Lott out of his account. He’s been the main source for my writing on guns and politics for two decades. And when it came out I reviewed his main book, “More Guns, Less Crime” – great title – as well as one of his other books. Lott’s “crime”? He actually read the New Zealand mass killer’s “manifesto” and quoted its socialist and environmentalist sections. That violated New Zealand’s policy of banning all discussion of the killings. But since when do New Zealand’s policies...

Wednesday’s Child: Precarious Eminence

By

I have never hidden my impecuniousness from the gentle reader, indeed I have flaunted it on occasion.  And I do so again now, because otherwise the image I’m about to conjure up – with me on the deck of a large yacht, champagne glass in hand, exchanging pleasant inconsequentialities with the other guests – would reflect badly on the reputation of Wednesday’s Child.  This kind of story only makes sense if the narrator is poorer than the proverbial church mouse, and yes, I qualify.  I’m as poor as Browning’s “ghostly cricket, creaking where a house was burned,” if you remember...

They Want Our Guns

By

I don’t own a TV. But during the last week I occasionally have been watching the TV news, which has been dominated by the killings in El Paso and Dayton. FoxNews has been defensive; even Tucker Carlson, by far the best host. CNN, which is nothing but lies. As Tucker said, CNN and other networks – as well as the NY Times, WaPo, etc. – replaced the Russia Hoax with the Racism Hoax. Although I haven’t watched it continuously, which would have landed me in nearby Hoag Hospital’s psych unit, from what I could tell CNN never mentioned the Dayton...

The National Conservatism Hullabaloo

By

I’ve seen a lot of different iterations of “conservatism” in my life, so I think I’ll pass on the new National Conservatism movement, which just held a conference in Washington, D.C. The least they could have done was hold the shindig out there in the “nation,” somewhere down in Flyover Country. How do you find out if it “plays in Peoria” if you’re not in Peoria? I’m also allergic to using “nationalism” instead of “patriotism.” Dr. Fleming criticized “nationalism” here. He makes the salient point that “nationalism” erases localism. It’s ironic the National Conservative movement is run by something called...

Wednesday’s Child: Who’s On Fleek

By

Called “Google Camp,” presumably because to Google’s event organizers being camp is always a good thing, the party drew some 300 of the great and the good who had used 114 private planes and an armada of megayachts to get here, expanding Sicily’s carbon footprint, by nearly one thousand tons of carbon dioxide, to the size of a Neanderthal’s flip-flop.

Globalism Begins at Home, Conclusion

By

There is no secret plot or conspiracy to undermine our national sovereignty, unless by conspiracy we mean the collective will of the political class.  The Bushes and the Clintons would be rightly outraged if they heard rumors of such suspicions.  Opposing globalization today is like criticizing affirmative action, challenging women’s rights, or pointing out that homosexuals are a serious drain on our finite medical resources.

Wednesday’s Child: The Week That Was

By

Events of the week gone by have rent me in twain, with tears of impotence and helpless laughter contending for preeminence.  The tears came from watching the Kevlar-clad armada of Putin’s private army, known euphemistically as the National Guard, stomping on women and children in the center of Moscow.  Trust me, I’m not a claret-swilling sentimentalist who blubbers at the sight of roadkill.  Moreover, I’ve seen as much footage of police brutality in France, in Germany, and in the U.S. as the next guy.  But this was different. Probably like the gentle reader, I have in my mind a composite...

Mueller and the Rancid Ruling Elite

By

For something like a decade I’ve referred to America’s Rancid Ruling Elite – RRE. Ruling elites are supposed to protect their people, giving them at least reasonable leadership, as well as cultural splendor. In return, they get to run things and enjoy a lot of money and prestige. Ours do the opposite: They parasite off the rest of us while attacking us. Ultimately, it’s self-defeating, as they will end up like the French and Russian elites of 1789 and 1917, headed for the guillotine or the gulag. No decent elite would have allowed the Mueller farce to begin, let alone...
