Derek Black: "My Father, The Founder Of The White Nationalist Website Stormfront..."
Last week, *Newsweek *reported something that Trumpanzee's "fine people" are actually correct about, namely that America is becoming less white, more diverse.

"Diminishing Returns"
*"Diminishing Returns"* by James Howard Kunstler "These two words are the hinge that is swinging American life - and the advanced techno-industrial world, for that matter - toward darkness. They represent an infection in the critical operations of daily life, like a metabolic disease, driving us into disorder and failure. And they are so omnipresent that we’ve failed to even notice the growing failure all around us.

Oppose Fascism of the Right and the Left
[image: undefined] Following the recent clashes between the alt-right and the group antifa, some libertarians have debated which group they should support. The answer is simple: neither. The alt-right and its leftist opponents are two sides of the same authoritarian coin. The alt-right elevates racial identity over individual identity. The obsession with race leads them to support massive government interference in the economy in order to benefit members of the favored race. They also favor massive welfare and entitlement spending, as long as it functions as a racial spoils system.... more »

Or on foot, weapon ready, prepared to defend his cause.” The cause might be anything — the defense of this nat... more »

Scientists: Children need microbes, not antibiotics, to develop immunity
How many of you would honestly say you let your kids play in the dirt? Or even encourage it? While we’ve known for decades that hand washing is important, for some reason, about a decade ago people started freaking out about dirt and started over sanitizing everything. RELATED ARTICLE: Taking your full course of antibiotics
Slate: Taking your full course of antibiotics isn’t helping prevent the spread of resistance; it’s fueling it.
Recently the British Medical Journal published an article in which the authors challenged the long-held belief that you should take the ENTIRE course of doctor prescribed antibiotics, even after you are feeling better. However, that claim has physicians and public health officials expressing serious concern about “an overly complex message that could result in encouraging patients

Do You Know Anyone Who's Fashy-- As In Fashionably Fascist?
*Ugly Nazi with ugly Nazi hairdo* Not surprisingly, Israel's most respectable newspaper, *Haaretz*, covers American news very thoroughly. Señor Trumpanzee, who, despite-- in at least one case-- his long association with virulent anti-Semites, is only popular in two foreign countries (Russia and Israel). Soon after he moved into what he calls "a dump," but what most Americans call the White House, *Haaretz* ran a story about how Trump male supporters started sporting their neo-Nazi haircuts. In November, just four days after the presidential election, a somewhat unusual post appear... more »

From the Archives: Yes, Virginia, the Nazis really were socialists
*Originally posted here in 2005, this post is looking long overdue for a re-post...* I've noticed some bloggers and commentators around the traps still upset at claims the Nazis were socialist. What’s that? Nazis?? Nazis were *socialists*?!! Well, yes they were. It's true that the National Socialists didn't nationalise their economy's commanding heights on coming to power as Lenin would have had them do; they didn't nationalise them because they didn’t need to -- as Hitler said, they simply nationalised people instead. Political correctness at the point of a gun. The result for ... more »
"Life Is About..."
"Life is about discovering things that *do* matter in the end." - Robert Brault
The Poet: Anne Sexton, "Courage"
*"Courage"* "It is in the small things we see it. The child's first step, as awesome as an earthquake. The first time you rode a bike, wallowing up the sidewalk. The first spanking when your heart went on a journey all alone. When they called you crybaby or poor or fatty or crazy and made you into an alien, you drank their acid and concealed it. Later, if you faced the death of bombs and bullets you did not do it with a banner, you did it with only a hat to cover your heart. You did not fondle the weakness inside you though it was there. Your courage was a small coal that you kept swallo... more »

"On Your Own Terms..."
"If the sun is shining, stand in it- yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass- they have to- because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered. What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realize that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms." - Jeanette Winterson
“Think Like a Corleone”
*“Think Like a Corleone”* Leave fools’ paradise to the fools. by Robert Gore "If you are offered a choice between having your tuition and expenses paid at a top of the line business school, or buying with your own money Mario Puzo’s "The Godfather" (the book and the movies, Parts One and Two) choose the latter. You’ll find them far more useful than the MBA. Americans are frequently condemned for obliviousness to the lies and depredations of the people who rule them. Much of the condemnation is merited, but the obliviousness is also a vestige of a better time. The best gauge of a so... more »
