The mother of Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse claims attorney Lin Wood kept him in jail for months in order to protect him from what he feared would be a post-election breakdown of society.

Wendy Rittenhouse, whose 18-year-old son is charged with two counts of murder in connection to the shootings at a Black Lives Matter protest in August 2020, claimed Wood thought he would be safer at an Illinois youth facility because “Armageddon” was approaching.

Antifa’s Destructive Return Could Have Staying Power

31st March 2021

Read it.

After weeks of relative silence, Antifa’s destructive activism came roaring back to the Pacific Northwest. And as the trial of a former police officer in the death of a black man is underway 1,650 miles away, this region worries that the violence not only will worsen but threaten to become a permanent fixture.

Violence erupted in both Seattle and Portland, Oregon, in mid-March as jury selection began for the trial of Derek Chauvin in the May 25 death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police.

Psychology of Extremism

31st March 2021

Read it.

Beginning more or less with President Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, when white nationalist and future Biden voter Richard Spencer was sucker punched by a masked rioter on camera while being interviewed in Washington DC, the violent militia and online harassment network Antifa has played an increasingly central role in the accelerating destruction of Western liberal democracy.

Today connected to dozens of homicides, thousands of assaults, and hundreds of millions of dollars of property damage, the movement nonetheless continues to enjoy significant support from global corporate and political elites.

Social media companies allow Antifa accounts to orchestrate harassment and call for violence on their platforms with impunity; corporate media alternates erratically between celebrating Antifa and insisting that they don’t exist, and senior political figures including Republican Senator Mitt Romney and Iraq War proponent Jeffrey Goldberg compare the movement to the American soldiers who defeated Hitler.

Meanwhile, anyone reporting accurately on the reality of a movement which, despite anarcho-communist branding, functions in practice as a combination of the Sturmabteiling and the Stasi is subjected to a campaign of defamation and intimidation from pro-Antifa academics and journalists who tend to serve as apologists and spokesmen for the movement, rather than reporters on it.

The American Civil Liars’ Union?

30th March 2021

Read it.

I’m old enough to remember when the ACLU stood for something (agree with them or not). They were free speech absolutists who defended the rights of Nazis to march in Skokie, because they believed that shutting down speech was more dangerous than what the Nazis were saying. They stood up for Japanese-Americans facing FDR’s concentration camps. They defended Communist Party members and Jehovah’s Witnesses.

To be truly principled, though, you need to be honest.

Classical Music Under Assault Ii Academia

30th March 2021

Read it.

Oxford University reportedly is under pressure to stop, or at least curtail, the teaching of sheet music, musical notation, and even the classical music that was scored upon it. The rationale is that all of this is “too colonial,” and that Beethoven, Mozart, and music in general are “complicit in white supremacy.”

It’s not just students and BLM groups that are pushing this insanity. In fact, professors seem to be leading the charge.

Hollywood Hypocrite: Scarlett ‘Politics Is Not My Job’ Johansson

29th March 2021

Read it.

It’s ironic that this issue of The Gentlewoman came out just before her newest movie. Johansson was probably worried about the cancel vultures and wanted to cover her tracks. She’s never before had qualms about giving and forcing her own political opinions down other people’s throats.

In October, she assembled with other Avengers co-stars for a Joe Biden fundraiser. Not to mention she’s a BIG fan of abortion and has no problem glorifying it and supporting Planned Parenthood. It should also be noted that she’s even expressed interest in running for a political office in the future. So this recent claim for actors to just do their job is a bunch of nonsense coming from her … she should listen to her own words of advice.

The Murder of Mohammad Anwar

28th March 2021

The Other McCain is on the case.

The description of the fatal incident in this NBC News account doesn’t adequately explain the horror of what was captured on cellphone video by an eyewitness who started recording as Anwar was attempting to prevent the teenage girls from stealing the car. Answer was at the driver’s side door of the vehicle, holding onto the wheel, when the carjackers sped off with him hanging out the side of the door. They swerved left, evidently trying to ram him into a lightpole, and then turned right around a corner. The vehicle disappears from sight in the video, then a loud crash is heard. The witness runs down the street and, when he turns the corner, we see the car toppled onto its left side, the two teenage carjackers scrambling out while Anwar’s apparently lifeless body lies on the sidewalk.

The perps were two black teenage girls.

‘They don’t care’: US Supermarket Chain Shutters Stores After Hazard Pay Rules

27th March 2021

The Guardian is irate.

Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the US which makes hundred of millions of dollars in profits, is shutting down grocery stores and laying off scores of employees in response to local hazard pay rules for essential workers even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage.

Reality is what sticks around ever after you quit believing in it. Politicians think that they can ignore elementary economics and just hand out other people’s money with impunity.

Proglodytes, of course, think THAT’S JUST TOTALLY UNFAIR:

“Why are they punishing us?” said Hernandez. “If it weren’t for us they couldn’t run the stores. As a person we have value. As workers we have value. They don’t seem to care about you as a human being. They don’t care.”

Roscoe P. Col-traaaaaaane!

26th March 2021

Severian waxes nostalgic.

Back in late 2015 or thereabouts, I opined that while a Hillary Clinton presidency wasn’t ideal, America could survive it, since Hillary at least had some idea why she wanted to be president other than “it’s my turn.”* Those reasons never rose above the pecuniary, and of course she would’ve gotten eaten alive by the real sharks out there, but her astounding venality at least made her predictable. As a politician, she was Boss Hogg — she should’ve topped out as a county comptroller back in Toad Suck, Arkansas, but The Swamp has long experience working around the Peter Principle. “Incompetent but predictable” is often the very best we can hope for in a mass democracy. Have you noticed?

Congressional Measure Calls Out Pharmaceutical Industry’s Reliance on China

26th March 2021

Read it.

A congressional measure introduced on Friday in the House calls out the American pharmaceutical industry’s overreliance on China, warning that “decades of policies rooted in socialism” have stifled domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing and left the United States exposed to “the hostile actions and unfair trade practices of the People’s Republic of China.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), a member of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, authored the resolution as part of an effort to galvanize Congress into addressing what he says is a dangerous dependence on Chinese Communist Party goods.

Debunking Piketty And The Left’s Celebrity Economists

One of the economists on the left whose works regularly reside in these bookstores is, of course, one of the most popular and bestselling living economists—Thomas Piketty, who has seen an incredible rise in popularity in recent years. I decided to pick up one of his works from one of those promarket-starved bookshelves: Chronicles, a collection of his writings since the 2008 financial crisis. I also took to reading more articles about, and interviews with the man who says the world is ripe for “participatory socialism.” Here are some of the problems with Piketty and his book.

The death of the American city

26th March 2021

Joel Kotkin.

When my grandparents migrated to New York from Russia over a century ago, they found a city that was hardly paradise, but one that provided a pathway towards a better life. Life was tough, crowded and always a paycheck from poverty. My relatives were poor, but so was everyone; eventually, they all bought houses or apartments, and entered the middle class. As for crime in their native Brownsville, the home of Murder, Incorporated and other villainous enterprises, it rarely impacted “civilians”; my mother would tell me how a young girl could still walk across Prospect Park without fear of assault.

Today’s urban promise is, however, vastly different — not only in New York, but San Francisco and Los Angeles, London and Paris. No longer cities of aspiration, they are increasingly defined by an almost feudal hierarchy: the rich live well, protected by private security and served by local coffee shops and trendy clubs.

The Making of a Monster: Paul Kagame’s Bloodstained Past

25th March 2021

Read it.

In June, Commonwealth heads of government will meet in the Rwandan capital Kigali, a city advertised by their Tutsi host, the 63-year-old Paul Kagame, as ‘the Davos of Africa’. Kagame, Rwanda’s de facto leader since 1994 — and boasting more honorary degrees than Barack Obama, although he never finished high school — has become the ‘donor darling’ of the international community. He is why the World Bank has donated in excess of $4 billion, and why, until recently, the biggest bilateral donor has been the UK. ‘As far as I’m concerned,’ says the Tory MP Andrew Mitchell, ‘he is a hero for ending the violence.’

Michela Wrong is a British authority on Africa who begs to differ. Her brave and tremendous book, the product of 30 years’ reporting, demands that we revise the entire history of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, in which upwards of one million Tutsis and Hutus were slaughtered during a three-month frenzy. She places the blame, devastatingly, at the feet of the tall, thin, reedy-voiced Kagame, suggesting that ‘the leader routinely labeled in the West as “the Man Who Ended the Genocide” might actually also have started it’. Kagame’s ex-chief of staff, Theogene Rudasingwa, is one of many former colleagues of Kagame’s interviewed who regret passionately their part in his rise, and now perceive him in Conradian hues as a black Kurtz: ‘We had a hand in the making of a monster.’

The ‘Religious Privilege’ of Leftism

24th March 2021

Read it.

I often say that Islam is a political system disguised as a religion, and leftism is a religion disguised as a political system. Leftism makes no sense to me, unless viewed as a type of religious faith. And the further left they go, the more the leftist faithful move from simple beliefs in nice platitudes, to ignoring alternative views, to expulsion of those who question its ideology, to the use of violence against heretics. This pattern should look familiar to those who have studied the history of various religions. It should also look familiar to those who have studied the history of leftism.

Who Are We?

24th March 2021

Zman does a deep dive.

The failures of conservatism are a popular topic on this side of the great divide, mostly because most on this side passed through conservatism. While it is true that an understanding of human nature leads to a traditionalist political outlook, it is also true that having a conservative inclination leads one to dissident politics. Russell Kirk was right that conservative politics is the end result that begins with a certain attitude, a perspective on society that naturally leads to right-wing politics.

This attitude begins with the understanding that all human societies have an identity, an instinctive answer to the question, “Who are you?” That is closely tied with the understanding that someone is always in charge. This is where modern conservatism goes off the rails. Modern conservatives are terrified to even think about identity, because they are terrified of being accused of having one. Identities are exclusive and that is the opposite of inclusive, the greatest thing ever.

Several prominent leftists took to social media and immediately assumed the shooter in Boulder, Colorado, was white before details about his identity were released.

Police revealed Tuesday morning the shooter was 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. The suspect was injured during a shootout with police and taken to the hospital. The new information led some users to issue corrections or delete their posts, which assumed the shooter’s race and motives.

Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris, said Tuesday morning she deleted a tweet about the suspect.

Apparently Muslims are a non-white race. Who knew?

The Diversity Tax

21st March 2021

Those Who Can See.

It is in our day an undisputed fact, almost a religious dogma, that ‘diversity is our strength.’ This credo is endlessly repeated by our leaders, including the heads of state of the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., and France.

We at TWCS propose, on the contrary, that in Western countries diversity has proven to be much more like a tax. A tax that falls, like medieval manorial dues, disproportionately on the working classes.

Old English Has a Serious Image Problem

20th March 2021

Read it.

Although studying the language known as “Anglo-Saxon” helped women advance in the academy, the subject is fraught with racist associations.

The American neo-Nazi movement that calls itself the “alt-right” is resurrecting medievally tinged celebrations of “European heritage” as part of its racist agenda.

Cancel culture comes for the Anglo-Saxons (the swine!).

This isn’t from a left-wing tabloid, but from JSTOR Daily, “where news meets its scholarly match

Top High Schools Scrap Merit-Based Admission. Will the NBA Follow?

18th March 2021

Read it.

How did students get admitted to Lowell? The school district’s website still says: “Admission to Lowell is competitive and merit-based, serving students from throughout the city who demonstrate academic excellence and are motivated to pursue a rigorous college preparatory program.”

About 60% of the student body is Asian, 18% white, and 1.8% black. This is apparently a problem and explains why the school district recently unanimously voted to admit students via this lottery system.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the “problem” is Asian American excellence: “One school board commissioner, Alison Collins, has called merit-based admissions ‘racist.’ The real problem progressives have with Lowell is that too many Asian-Americans are passing the entrance exam.”

Racism straight up.

How to Kill the English Language

18th March 2021

Read it.

Probably, most of you will have only the dimmest idea what a ‘fronted adverbial’ is. I used one in the last sentence. Can you spot it? Very good. Those among you who did are either a) professional linguists, b) seven-year-olds, or c) are, like me, recovering from several long months of home-schooling a seven-year-old. Forgive me if in mentioning it I retraumatize members of category c).

‘Fronted adverbials’ have become something of a cause célèbre among the parents of young school children. In Britain they even occasioned a prime ministerial joke, interpreted in some quarters as a dig at a certain former education secretary, about ‘every detail of the syllabus, from fronted adverbials to quadratic equations’. This term for what others know as a sentence modifier — essentially, a word or clause that qualifies the main part of a sentence — has become a metonym for a whole approach to language teaching. It’s an approach that has baffled many parents, exasperates experienced educators (try getting Michael Rosen started on this stuff), and seems to issue in some very odd and potentially counterproductive ideas about how sentences are best formed.

GOP Moves To Save Biden: We Want Amnesty, Too!

18th March 2021

Ann Coulter.

President Joe Biden’s immigration bill will put virtually all illegal immigrants on a bullet train to citizenship, provided that they meet the onerous requirement of claiming to have entered the country before Jan. 1, 2021. Only terrorists and convicted felons are excluded — at least in theory, but past experience suggests they’ll get amnesty, too. Even illegal immigrants who’ve already been deported will be invited back and given amnesty.

So far, the Republicans’ response has been to propose their own amnesty, while throwing in some boob-bait for the rubes about border security.

Even the election of Donald Trump, a ridiculous creature who became president by promising to crack down on illegal immigration and build a wall (promises he ignored), hasn’t put a dent in Washington’s enthusiasm for overwhelming the country with the third world.
