For my own part, I think you should flee the cities and the suburbs as quickly as you can. Rural life is really no safe refuge against the onslaught of leftist aggression, and small-town life is fraught with problems, though nothing remotely comparable to those of city life. The main reason to escape the cities…

One of the worst parts of American democracy is that it tempts people to say “we bring it on ourselves.” We don’t actually live in a democracy even in the most basic sense. We have occasional referenda from time to time which, if they support the cause of the liberal powers that be, will be…

It was a kind of blessing to have such insane abortion laws in America. It kept you honest.  In America, pre-Roe, abortion was legal up to the moment before natural birth, for although Roe and Casey allowed states to place regulations, these all went out the Constitutional window if a woman could show carrying her…

I had a very boring encounter the other day. I was in a small town scoping out a Catholic church with my wife and infant son. To get closer to the doors, I did a u-turn and idled the car on the other side of the street. The church was closed, but my son was…

Emergency Powers are interesting, because the law becomes very nearly “whatever you think you can get away with.” No need to bother with direct intervention from legislatures and courts. Emergency Powers expose the Freudian id of the executive; they show the absolute will of how our ruling class would rule if not for the niceties…

It should be uncontroversial that when circumstances allow, every citizen has a duty to arrest a man committing a felony in his presence. A citizen is a man who participates in the operations of the state, a man conferred special privileges and who is given a role in governing, a role which includes the most…

Can the media and government succeed in convicting Kyle Rittenhouse after the law and facts have exonerated him? This is now the only question that matters in settling Kyle’s fate. Any honest man who knows the law and facts has to concede that he is innocent. Anyone with red blood in his veins has to…

“Oh don’t think too much about it. Anything can cause it. It might’ve been the storm, the drop in barometric pressure. It might be the full moon.” The other nurses nodded along to this proposed explanation for why my son, who wasn’t supposed to be born for another six weeks, had arrived into the world…

The media largely stopped reporting on the Chauvin story months ago, after the jury verdict was announced. The result of the show trial was never much in doubt. The only intrigue about the trial arose about whether the prosecutors would mess it up. To their credit, they did. There were multiple grounds for a mistrial….

Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum If you’re looking for a Latin aphorism to memorize, I recommend memorizing this. It is pithy and sweet. It has roots you’re likely to recognize in English words. It is a Bible verse, Psalm 96 (or 97 in the new translations). It would look proud and manly on a family…
