The Revolution Will Continue, Regardless of the Election’s Outcome

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...

Remember the professor who said it was OK to kill Trump supporters?
Another former professor offered this two years ago: It’s OK to murder kids who want to be police.
Bonus: It was Jessica Krug, the same professor who confessed to pretending she was black.

I think we’d be better off if more Americans knew more about their own family’s history. Not only would most of us come away with a renewed sense of gratitude for America, we would also be better able to evaluate the claims of today by something other than the standards of today.

In regard to my article “Revolution and Resistance: How Can Elections Continue?” , here’s an interesting observation from an astute reader: “Nothing can save our country now, it’s already gone. Obviously the Radical Left/BLM/Antifa hate it and are trying to destroy it, but on the other side the Middle American Resistance is no longer willing to fight for its preservation...
Diana Rigg, RIP

I first saw Diana Rigg starring as Emma Peel opposite Patrick Macnee’s John Steed in “The Avengers,” one of many British cultural imports that flooded these shores in the 1960s. I loved that show and its stars and its distinctive theme song. (The composer, Laurie Johnson, also did the music for “Dr. Strangelove”). Diana Rigg was a great actress who did many great...
