America Alone 11/18/2024

America Alone “Yes, there is a “secret to happiness”—and it is gratitude. All happy people are grateful, and ungrateful people cannot be happy." -Dennis Prager I can't believe Trump had this hit show for 12 seasons on network tv, was a household name, and had a real estate empire and said to himself, "You know Donald, why don't you put this stuff aside and dream BIG?" AND IT WORKED Let's all reflect on the genius of the Founders. With their goofy electoral college, they minimized the chances of fraud centuries in advance. Think about how much harder it is to cheat big in multiple states compared to, oh, the two or three most corrupt counties in America. /episode/index/show/malacast/id/33965862

It's Okay to Be... 08/11/2024

It's Okay to Be... "The good things are not small in number. They include almost every medical advancement that the world now enjoys. They include almost every scientiﬁc advancement that the world now beneﬁts from. No meaningful breakthrough in either of these areas has come for many centuries from anywhere in Africa or from any Native American tribe. No First Nation wisdom ever delivered a vaccine or a cure for cancer." -Douglas Murray I discuss hatred of European descendants, which is surprisingly rife. Descendants which, it must be noted, are beginning to mount a defense. "Men’s virtues have their season, as fruits do.” -La Rochefocauld /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32534217

Thoughts on Lethal Self-Defense 08/03/2024

Thoughts on Lethal Self-Defense “If I am drowning in a rapid river, a man who still has one foot on the bank may give me a hand which saves my life. Ought I to shout back (between my gasps) ‘No, it’s not fair! You have an advantage! You’re keeping one foot on the bank’? That advantage—call it ‘unfair’ if you like—is the only reason why he can be of any use to me. To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself?” -CS Lewis In one study of police that I have no reason to believe is atypical, they are more likely to experience euphoria than sadness after a fatal encounter. Why are we always lectured about the toll that is invariably taken on those who commit homicide? It's often, and probably usually not true, just wishful thinking by pacifists. I give some thoughts on voting third party or, even sillier, writing in a candidate. tldr: lol "It is just the people who are ready to submit to the loss of the thrill and settle down to the sober interest, who are then most likely to meet new thrills in some quite different direction." -CS Lewis /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32420722

A Couple of Thoughts on Kamala 07/29/2024

A Couple of Thoughts on Kamala “A thatched roof once covered free men; under marble and gold dwells slavery.” -Seneca The number of people who believe America is ready for a female President is down almost ten points since 2015. Also, Kamala was border czar during what was apparently the worst period in American history for illegal immigration. Both of these facts are going to present headwinds to her victory. In other words, I'm not afraid. "Men do not like being manipulated by women." -Matt Walsh /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32327022

I Want To Stand Guard 07/19/2024

I Want To Stand Guard “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” -Ronald Reagan Hulk Hogan ran wild on the RNC. He and Elon appear to have had the same reaction to The Incident. USA! USA! “He who is brave is free.” -Seneca /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32210847

Fight! Fight! Fight! 07/14/2024

Fight! Fight! Fight! The President was very nearly assassinated. Some leftists on Twitter, even well-known ones, lamented he was not. How do you share a country with these awful people? I know this: At the moment, we're blessed with the best leader we could ask for. /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32125437

Biden's Failed Hail Mary 07/13/2024

Biden's Failed Hail Mary I hope Biden stays in the race because it's elder abuse. Hah "I'm telling you, that case would have never been brought. And that's what's offensive to people. And it should be." -Andrew Cuomo I review what the media told us versus what we all saw at the debate. (h/t @DrewHolden360) I think I know why Biden agreed to the debate: It was a Hail Mary. As for gold, let me have as much as a moderate man could bear and carry with him.” - Socrates, quoted by Plato, Phaedrus /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32119887

John Laurens, American Hero 07/05/2024

John Laurens, American Hero "It is not the public but the private interest which influences the generality of mankind nor can the Americans any longer boast of an exception." -George Washington John Laurens made repeated efforts to free Southern slaves to fight for American independence and thereby gain emancipation. He was foiled in this effort and died in a "trifling skirmish" at the age of 27. What man could he have become, though? We will never know. It is a tendency identified by the late Australian political philosopher Kenneth Minogue as ‘St George in retirement’ syndrome. After slaying the dragon the brave warrior finds himself stalking the land looking for still more glorious fights. He needs his dragons. Eventually, after tiring himself out in pursuit of ever-smaller dragons he may eventually even be found swinging his sword at thin air, imagining it to contain dragons. If that is a temptation for an actual St George, imagine what a person might do who is no saint, owns no horse or lance and is being noticed by nobody. How might they try to persuade people that, given the historic chance, they too would without question have slain that dragon? –Douglas Murray /episode/index/show/malacast/id/32024177

Yeah, You Beat It To Death 06/29/2024

Yeah, You Beat It To Death “There are decades when nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen.” -Unknown President Biden, mercifully, had a catastrophic debate. All Communist Parties, upon attaining power, have become completely merciless. But at the stage before they achieve power, it is necessary to use disguises. –Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Warning to the West /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31937787

How To Keep Your Head as Things Unravel 06/22/2024

How To Keep Your Head as Things Unravel “Anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today.” -Ayn Rand I am not morose although I predict the failure of the American society within the lifetime of my children and perhaps even myself. Why? Well, for one, I might be wrong. I have been wrong about things before. Maybe this will be like that. Here are five more: I have children. I improve tangible things every week. I row the boat. I do something physically difficult every month or so. I read history. “Desperate courage makes One a majority.” -Andrew Jackson /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31817712

Speculating is the Real Murdering 06/15/2024

Speculating is the Real Murdering All Communist Parties, upon attaining power, have become completely merciless. But at the stage before they achieve power, it is necessary to use disguises. –Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Alex Jones' assets are being liquidated to pay an unprecedented $1.5 BILLION judgment. In other news, families have reached a settlement with the city of Uvalde, which let their children be butchered. $2 million. I have noticed that many people on the left totally lack political empathy. They are, if I may coin a phrase, political psychopaths. So only punishment works to deter them from political evil. “Being unwilling to deter evil is a moral sickness.” –me 6/1/24 /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31755137

How To Make Nail-Biting Worse According to Some Idiots Online 06/08/2024

How To Make Nail-Biting Worse According to Some Idiots Online “Ten million young women rose to their feet with the cry, “We will not be dictated to”: and proceeded to become stenographers.” -GK Chesterton "On the bad days when your toddler seems to be biting their nails nonstop, you might be tempted to do something that could make things worse. Endless reprimands, long lectures, yelling, and punishments won’t encourage your child to stop biting their nails. In fact, the negative attention may just make your child more determined to show you who’s the boss of those nails." -Healthline.com “Education can strengthen the brain, but weaken the backbone.” -Richard Nixon /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31659672

The Compulsory Reply 05/31/2024

The Compulsory Reply "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands of those who feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you. May posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -Samuel Adams "Republicans will have to bring charges against Democratic officers, even presidents." -John Yoo “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31556152

No Devils Left in Hell 05/25/2024

No Devils Left in Hell It was, I often mused, one of Somalia’s strangest paradoxes. When no one comes to help, they cry that the world is indifferent to their suffering. And when people do come, what do the Somalis do? They shoot them in the back of the head, drag the naked bodies through the streets, beat them to death with bricks.” -Keith Richburg It was the international community which failed all of us. Whether from contempt or cowardice." -Rwandan President Paul Kagame “There are no devils left in hell. They are all in Rwanda.” -A Missionary, quoted in Time, May 16, 1994 “No one ever calculated what you do next if the people you come to help have no interest in being saved.” -Keith Richburg /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31461972

2024 Image of the Year 05/18/2024

2024 Image of the Year "It is easier to know man in general than to know one man in particular.” -La Rochefocauld Logan Hall's friend has sent him a picture I will always cherish. It is of a New York street recently: “In the final stage of love, as in that of life, we are still living for pains, but no longer for pleasures.” -La Rochefocauld /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31363642

RFK Endorsed Anti-White Discrimination 05/11/2024

RFK Endorsed Anti-White Discrimination “Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.” -Aristotle RFK supposes a little more of affirmative action and the "self-perpetuating" effects of "racist policies" will be cured. But what if affirmative action is the problem, actually? “Where there are no men, strive to be a man!” -Hillel the Elder, circa 50 BC /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31239172

Blamesaving Victims 05/04/2024

Blamesaving Victims “Few people are wise enough to prefer useful criticism to treacherous praise.” -La Rochefocauld "Thousands of records are being brutalized all over Asia, which is by far the most extreme event in world climatic history." -"Weather historian" Maximiliano Herrera “The greatest fault of perceptiveness is not that it falls short of the truth, but that it goes past it.” -La Rochefocauld /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31121648

The Disquieting Effects of Mass Hispanic Immigration 04/27/2024

The Disquieting Effects of Mass Hispanic Immigration “I distrust every idea that doesn't seem obsolete and grotesque to my contemporaries.” -Nicolás Gómez Dávila In 1980, 6.5% of the US population was hispanic. In 2000, 12.5% of the population was hispanic. Today, it's perhaps 19%. What are the implications of this? When you import millions of hispanics, don't be surprised to find your society becoming more hispanic. One way in which this is happening is in increasing anti-gun attitudes. "An early 2014 Pew Research Center survey asked U.S. adults what is more important — protecting the right of Americans to own guns or controlling gun ownership (Pew Research Center, 2014d). Hispanic registered voters nationally say they prefer gun control over the rights of owners by a margin of 62%-to-36%, as do black registered voters by a margin of 71%-to-26%, according to the survey. By contrast, white registered voters choose gun owners’ rights over gun control by a margin of 59%-to-39%." "82% of foreign-born Hispanics think controlling gun ownership is more important than protecting gun ownership rights, compared with 59% of Hispanics born in the U.S." The results of hispanic polling on the subject of free speech are no better. "Dying societies accumulate laws like dying men accumulate remedies." –Nicolas Davila /episode/index/show/malacast/id/31009123

What You Call Something 04/20/2024

What You Call Something We all have enough strength to bear the troubles of other people. -La Rochefocauld Call someone an isolationist or an anti-war activist, call it a sin tax or a progressive tax, call it an incentive or an effort to "fight" the thing incentivized. Either way, the wise man knows words don't change how a thing works by even one little bit. "Philosophy triumphs easily over past and future ills; but present ills triumph over it." -La Rochefocauld /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30909883

What OJ Simpson Revealed About Black America 04/13/2024

What OJ Simpson Revealed About Black America "Any fool can lampoon a king or a bishop or a billionaire. A trifle more grit is required to face down a mob, or even a studio audience, that has decided it knows what it wants and is entitled to get it." –Hitchens Many of the reactions upon OJ's passing were deeply disturbing. I share them with you so you know what to expect. "Pervasive antiwhite antagonism is perhaps the best-kept secret about black inner-city culture." –Heather Mac Donald, The War on Cops /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30806338

I Struggle Mightily to Entertain Despite an Inferior Format Choice 04/06/2024

I Struggle Mightily to Entertain Despite an Inferior Format Choice "Taste is relative" is the excuse adopted by those eras that have bad taste. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila A man gave his coat to a homeless bum and the homeless bum up and stole his wallet as thanks. Solar eclipses are so overrated as to be barely worth looking up for. Rarity aside, solar eclipses are about as interesting as rain. "Their prison is only in their own minds, yet they are in prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.” -CS Lewis /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30707353

The Story of Sir Edward Pellew 03/31/2024

The Story of Sir Edward Pellew Happy Easter! I discuss the enslavement of perhaps 1,000,000 white/Christians by the barbary pirates and the man who finally brought that trade to an end. "And the more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild." -GK Chesterton /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30609303

Haiti Sure Proved Trump Wrong 03/23/2024

Haiti Sure Proved Trump Wrong Seems like just yesterday Conan O'Brien et al were telling us about what a lovely place Haiti was, on account of Trump said it wasn't. As the corpses are roasting in the streets, join me on a stroll down memory lane. "I am terrified of Africa. I don't want to be from this place." -Keith Richburg "I'm leaving Africa now, so I don't care anymore about the turmoil in Rwanda and have no interest in this latest tragic development." -Keith Richburg /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30508598

Joe Biden Vows to End Shrinkflation lol 03/15/2024

Joe Biden Vows to End Shrinkflation lol “It has been said critically that there is a tendency in many armies to spend the peace time studying how to fight the last war.” January-February 1929, The Military Engineer, “Some Notes on the World War” by J. L. Schley (Lieutenant Colonel, Corps of Engineers), pg. 55, col. 1L I read the State of the Union address and will give my thoughts. ““Did you ever in all your life see the head of a human being which so closely resembled that of a cod fish?” “He is not responsible for his head or his face. But why do you say he is a fraud? The newspapers call him a reformer, and give him credit for great efficiency.” “I deny your conclusions,” he replied. “A man of fifty is responsible for his face! Yes, I know he is courting the newspapers: that proves him a humbug and presumptively a fraud.” A few months later the official in question was found guilty by a court-martial of peculation and fraud in the management of his bureau and dishonorably expelled from the service.” -Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, quoted by Lucius Crittenden, Recollections of President Lincoln and His Administration /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30393753

Who's More Dangerous? Governments or Countrymen? 03/15/2024

Who's More Dangerous? Governments or Countrymen? “Utopian ideologies invite genocide for two reasons. One is that they set up a pernicious utilitarian calculus. In a utopia, everyone is happy forever, so its moral value is infinite. Most of us agree that it is ethically permissible to divert a runaway trolley that threatens to kill five people onto a side track where it would kill only one. But suppose it were a hundred million lives one could save by diverting the trolley, or a billion, or—projecting into the indefinite future—infinitely many. How many people would it be permissible to sacrifice to attain that infinite good?" -Stephen Pinker According to my rough calculation, 50 million people were killed by their non-government countrymen in the 20'th century. According to RJ Rummel, about 250 unarmed people were intentionally killed by governments over the same span. 5:1 "The failure of technological determinism as a theory of the history of violence should not be that surprising. Human behavior is goal-directed, not stimulus-driven, and what matters most to the incidence of violence is whether one person wants another one dead." -Stephen Pinker /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30393723

Later Than You Think 03/02/2024

Later Than You Think We dance round in a ring and suppose, But the Secret sits in the middle and knows. -Robert Frost. "The Secret Sits" (1942) @psychiconfire makes a good point on Twitter. Sometimes it is impossible to do good without appearing mean. What does doing evil feel like? Sometimes, *exactly like* doing good. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation says we will pass 300% debt:GDP ratio in 2044, 500% in 2058, and 1000% in 2078. It's probably later than you think. This present system of vote-buying will end, one way or another. Certain jobs can only be done properly by people who don’t care too much if they are fired. /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30197538

How To Defy an Islamic Sultan and Live 02/24/2024

How To Defy an Islamic Sultan and Live Out of the crooked timber of man, no straight thing was ever made. -Immanuel Kant A Welsh slave was once given a direct order by his captor and notorious butcher of men, sultan Moulay Ismail of Morocco. He refused it and lived. This is the problem of despotism. It’s why despotism, or even just authoritarianism, is all-powerful and brittle at the same time. Despotism creates the circumstances of its own undermining. The information gets worse. The sycophants get greater in number. The corrective mechanisms become fewer. And the mistakes become much more consequential. –Stephen Kotkin If the history of slavery ought to teach us anything, it is that human beings cannot be trusted with unbridled power over other human beings - no matter what color or creed any of them are. –Thomas Sowell /episode/index/show/malacast/id/30089243

Bill Maher is a Worm 02/17/2024

Bill Maher is a Worm "How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint! How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the hint! Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint." –Robert Frost "One woman died and more than 20 others were injured when gunfire erupted at the Kansas City parade." -BBC What I hate about Bill Maher - no retractions. “Where courage is not, no other virtue can survive except by accident.” -Dr Johnson /episode/index/show/malacast/id/29994363

Nikki Haley is Brimming With Insanity 02/13/2024

Nikki Haley is Brimming With Insanity Nikki Haley: "I am going to beat President Trump." "In the hive and the ant-hill we see fully realised the two things that some of us most dread for our own species - the dominance of the female and the dominance of the collective." -CS Lewis /episode/index/show/malacast/id/29934623
