Conspiracies and the Competency Crisis: The Kirk Assassination with Toby Houchens
10,000 hours of ‘whodunit’ content. No major reports on the obvious: a lethally outdated model dominates an unregulated profession, failing Trump twice, and getting Charlie Kirk killed. This is how incompetence, not conspiracy, is changing American history.

James Fishback Says Florida Is Not an Economic Zone. Can This Message Take Him to the Governor’s Seat?
His platform: zero foreign lobbyist money, total cancellation of H-1B visas at the state level, no data centers, and no homes owned by Blackstone. On the surface, this might sound like a grab-bag of slopulist sentiment, but there might be more than meets the eye.

The Case for Fishback
Nearly 40 young men, nearly all white, have killed themselves as a result of Nigerian cyber criminals running a sextortion racket . They have killed more Americans than ISIS. This affects very few people. Normal Americans are suffering from many small issues, little gaps in the social contract that globalization’s vicious children are prying further apart.

Gottfried on Groypers: A Review of The Essential Paul Gottfried
A doorway is defined in Jewish law as a side post and something that goes across it. Many American cities have an “eruv,” a wire tied from pole to pole that stretches around the city. The purpose of the eruv is to allow some Jews to carry items outside of their homes on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. Symbolically, this represents the extension of private space in the public square. The United States and the United Kingdom are the only countries on Earth outside of Israel that h

Post-Liberal Cinema in Five Films
Postliberal film does not exist. No director has set out to make a postliberal film. Just as no Soviet director set out to make dissident Soviet cinema.

The Camp of the Saints: A Review
The Camp of the Saints is a beautiful and important book. If you buy and read just one book this year, make it this one. You will not regret it. An audiobook version is scheduled for release soon.
