Christopher Roach has written an important article over at American Greatness that touches on themes brought up at American Remnant in number of posts (See here, here, and here, for instance). In particular, Mr. Roach stresses the importance of the deplorables organizing—we will be in for a fight no matter who wins the presidential election. Some excerpts: “On balance, if Trump is re...
The Man Who Would be King: Sean Connery, RIP By Wayne Allensworth No one did it better than Connery. Sean Connery was among the last of what your humble servant and life-long movie fan would call a “movie star” in the fullest sense of the term. He was a fine actor as well, an underrated one in my view. Movie stars had an identifiable, larger-than-life persona they embodied...
BY Wayne Allensworth The old desperado is gone. Jerry Jeff Walker, suffering from throat cancer, passed away on October 23 at age 78. We won’t see his like again. Walker, or just plain “Jerry Jeff” to his many fans, was a folk singer who honed his craft in Greenwich Village in the 60s and wrote perhaps his best known song, Mr. Bojangles, after spending a night in a New Orleans drunk tank. The...
By Wayne Allensworth The sprawl of the DFW “Metroplex” sometimes takes on the aspect of a vast concrete hive, the intricate, winding curves of interlocking freeways like tunnels channeling the inhabitants of that supersized apiary to their various destinations. Gray office buildings seem to fly by, their long rows of standardized window panes signifying the locus of cells for drones who sit...
The Soviet State Committee on the State of Emergency, August, 1991 The period directly following election day in November may be a moment of truth for all of us. As our own country seems headed for a political crisis, with the enemies of deplorable America making noises suggesting they are planning a post-election move against Trump, the failed Soviet coup of 1991, and the collapse that it...
By Wayne Allensworth Storytelling is a lost art. Not just the storytelling we associate with literature, the stage, or cinema, though decent literature, stage plays, and films are in short supply in a culture that is heavily politicized, as well as manufactured, but the plain art of orally telling a good story. Storytelling was once the basis of oral tradition, which, in turn, was an early form...
By Wayne Allensworth As you may have heard, gentle reader, millions of Americans are stocking up on guns and ammunition. A significant number of them are reportedly first-time gun buyers. In some cases, ammunition is getting hard to find. The country has the jitters, and understandably so. The election coming up in November is the most divisive since that of 1860, and we...
The gang’s all here… By Wayne Allensworth If we really needed more evidence that our selfless civil servants were colluding to overturn the 2016 elections results, here it is: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents tasked by fired former Director James Comey to take down Donald Trump during and after the 2016 election were so concerned about the agency’s potentially illegal...
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,And darker days are drawing near,The winter winds will be much colder,Now you’re not here… It’s mid-September, and the sun already seems to be setting lower in a sky of lengthening shadows. The temperatures have noticeably dropped off. Autumn, such as it is in this part of the country, appears to already have begun settling in...
In a recent piece on “woke capital” in The American Conservative, Chronicles Editor Paul Gottfried wrote that “the fascist enemy for the cultural left never goes away.” Dr. Gottfried went on to mention New York Times film critic Manohla Dargas, in a comment on the film Dunkirk, writing that “the fight against fascism continues.” We know, of course, which “fascists” Dargas had in mind: Us...
