2021-08-10 02:01:38 We defend the borders of scores of nations; we cannot, or Biden will not, defend our own. And, as former President Ronald Reagan reminded us, a country that can't or won't defend its borders isn't really a country anymore.

In our great cities, public shootings and killings have begun to exceed those of previous years. Police, under attack and abuse from the elites and people they protect, are resigning and retiring in record numbers.

Consider.

America is unable to win the wars she chooses to fight. She cannot or will not control and defend her borders from a mass migrant invasion. She cannot halt an outbreak of criminality and killing in her great cities. She has not run a trade surplus in four decades. Her dependency upon foreign producers is unprecedented. And her budget deficits continue to break records every year—as does her soaring national debt.

Is that not the description of a failed or failing state?

Asked by a despondent young friend if the defeat at Saratoga and potential loss of the American colonies meant the ruin of Britain, Adam Smith assured him, "There is a great deal of ruin in a nation."

Britain would go on from the loss of her 13 colonies to create the greatest empire since Rome.

Yet if there is "a great deal of ruin in a nation," we Americans certainly appear to be testing those limits.

2021-08-09 23:15:03 Orbán's Hungary, in short, is an unapologetic beacon of National Conservatism. That's driving globalist Progressives crazy, both in Europe and here. The EU is threatening to cut off financial support for Hungary, even perhaps to expel Hungary from the EU if the country doesn't get in line with globalist-Progressive ideology. That's a real threat to Orbán.

Hungarians would like to stay Hungarian, without the blights of mass immigration and Heather Has Two Mommies textbooks in kindergarten.

2021-08-09 02:20:12 This is all a cuckservative attempt to get the anti-racists to "eat you last", and Dreher should know that it won't work, because he was almost killed by blacks 20 years ago, for perceived racial impiety.

2021-08-08 20:57:33 Polling firms have financial and cultural incentives to make poll respondents sound pretty smart. So we seldom see surveys designed to reveal how clueless people (especially elite people, such as British Members of Parliament) tend to be. Here’s a small survey of MPs from 2012 on the question: if you flip a coin twice, what is the probability of getting two heads?*

2021-08-08 04:50:26 As the Left reverts to magical thinking, we can expect more of this kind of reaction. It’s as if they think “The Great Replacement” is an occult phrase that might unleash dark powers.

And perhaps there’s something to that. If Americans Notice what is being done to them through immigration policy, they may want their leaders to do something about it.

Remember, the Left is pushing Critical Race Theory. It is explicitly trying to dispossess what Newt calls “traditional, classic Americans” (whom we would simply call the Historic American Nation). Indeed, the Left is essentially a coalition of people who hate whites as such, not just the American nation-state.
