In one of the best stories I’ve read in a long while, a family is demanding that a woke university return their cash. The University of Richmond decided to rename the T.C. Williams Law School because he owned slaves. But instead of rolling over, the family has decided to go on the offensive. Descendants have sent letters to the University arguing that if the school …more
The 14th Amendment is the gift that keeps on giving but more like HPV than a rich benefactor. In the last three days, the Supreme Court has either accepted or rejected using the 14th Amendment to radically remake America. And by radically remake America I mean the destruction of actual federalism. Conservatives are cheering for the New York State Rifle and Pistol decision and the …more
I remember watching the Daytona 500 in February 2001. Any NASCAR fans knows what happened at the end of the race. Dale Earnhardt was killed in a nasty collision with the wall. Wells King at The American Conservative pegs that moment as the day NASCAR died. NASCAR went woke without the influence of The Intimidator around. Today, you can’t bring a Confederate flag into a …more
A few weeks ago, “historian” Heather Cox Richardson traveled to the White House to interview our “historic” President, Joe Biden. Think about what this means for the history “profession.” Richardson is a prize winning historian at Boston College and a media celebrity. Why? Because she is an establishment leftist shill who spends her time dreaming up ways to make progressivism the core of the real …more
My slogan “Think locally, act locally” has inspired a lot of people to get active in local government. That’s great, but some have figured out that the federal Leviathan has its teeth in just about every level of American society. That makes it difficult to break free from Washington D.C. But what if the solution was as simple as saying, “No.” I don’t mean refusing …more
If you listen to the woke idiots on the left, you would think that no American has ever heard about slavery, or that they have been taught that slavery was a benevolent institution devoid of any “sin.” You see, if we just doubled down and taught more woke history, then America would be alright. I guess they missed the massively popular 12 Years a Slave, …more
In 1896, conservative Democrats bolted the part and formed a splinter party known as the National Democratic Party, or NDP. They produced a “campaign handbook” outlining their political principles, and they focused on real issues and constitutional restraint. How refreshing. They also nominated a truly “national” ticket for the time by selecting John Palmer for President and Simon Buckner for Vice-President. Palmer was a Union …more
Book publishing isn’t an easy game. Most books never sell more than one thousand copies. Nonfiction is the most difficult market of all, and with the proliferation of self-publishing, everyone has a book. This isn’t a bad development. Many people have an idea they want to market and they work hard to do it. The recent brick and mortar book store apocalypse has made getting …more
Glenn Ellmers wonders if America is too unified. This is a stunning confession. Ellmers is a disciple of Harry Jaffa. If you don’t know Jaffa, he long argued secession was illegal. Ellmers still thinks so, but if the other States agreed to boot out some of the red States, then perhaps secession could be constitutional. That would be the only way, however. This is a …more
If you were asked to choose a better judge of military acumen, General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower or Professor Emeritus at West Point General Ty Seidule, who would you pick? Your first response would probably be, “Who is Ty Seidule?” Followed by, “Is this even a real choice?” One man won World War II in Europe. The other played armchair general for most of …more
Most Americans recognize a few of the Founding Fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Adams, Franklin—but what about some of the important but forgotten men who have been lost to time? They have great stories that need to be told. Here are ten whose fantastic lives are in many ways better than fiction.
