The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Muzak
Canned music. It’s everywhere. You cannot get away from it. It is always playing in public spaces. Grocery stores, hotel lobbies, airplanes, colonoscopy exam rooms.
Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

My site’s favorite whipping boy, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far, far, far left columnist Will Bunch, who’s even crazier than Amanda Marcotte if such a thing is possible, has told us how important it is to enforce the law. We have previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s radical left columnist Will Bunch was adamant in his …
Uniforms are not decoration. They are language. Long before an officer speaks a word or a citizen weighs compliance, the uniform announces intent, authority, and the rules that govern the encounter. In a free society—especially one built on constitutional limits—this signaling is not cosmetic. It is foundational.
If Part I was about how we got here, Part II is about the uncomfortable truth most Americans are living with now: the system hasn’t collapsed—but it no longer works the way it used to. We are in the uncanny valley between order and chaos, where institutions still function, shelves are stocked, paychecks clear, and elections are held—but trust is gone, legitimacy is fractured, and nothing feels durable.
Epstein sits before the camera not as a man crushed by exposure, but as one still convinced the rules apply differently to him. He speaks in abstractions. He talks about systems, reputation, philanthropy, misunderstanding. The victims are nowhere to be found—not as people, not as faces, not as lives interrupted. They exist only as legal problems, public-relations complications, inconvenient footnotes to an otherwise impressive résumé. This is not the language of remorse. It is the language of a man who believes morality is negotiable if one is clever enough.
Modern political Christianity has a dangerous habit of confusing compassion with chaos. Somewhere between yard signs and virtue-signaling sermons, the Church was told that borders are immoral, laws are unloving, and governments exist primarily to replace God as the ultimate provider. None of that is biblical. In fact, Scripture teaches almost the opposite.
As would be expected, the whole of the professional media have been reacting to the significant layoffs at The Washington Post. I do not normally read Frank Luntz, but, lazing in bed this frosty morning, and scrolling through Twitter — I still refuse to call it 𝕏 — I clicked on the linked article from …
What is the main opposition to requiring or teaching Western Civilization survey courses? Why is teaching the considerable and important political and social contributions Western civilization has made to the world a bad thing?
For decades, political science was the academic punchline—the major you picked when calculus broke you, engineering filtered you out, and chemistry made you cry. Everyone knew the line: If you can’t do anything else, go poli-sci. Parents nodded approvingly because “college is good for you,” administrators cashed tuition checks, and students emerged four years later fluent in theory, jargon, and grievance—but functionally incapable of building, fixing, or running anything in the real world. What no one admitted at the time was that political science didn’t just produce underemployed graduates; it quietly trained a generation in how to dismantle systems they never understood and could never rebuild.
Today, Sean of the South lampoons comments found on the internet regarding some of the most impactful works of art, literature and other cultural entertainment
If you hate your political opponents so much that you bring in foreigners to stay in power, you’ve set the stage for a civil war. A civil war unbound by the Geneva Convention
The poster is faded and aged, containing many three-by-five photos, housed in clear plastic sleeves, all in rows, on display for the world to see. The poster calls itself the “Wall of Honor,” even though you’d have to go out of your way to actually notice the poster. Let alone honor it.
A snowstorm highlights how modern society’s comfort and overprotection contrast sharply with the more self‑reliant past.
Unless it’s against cops. They want to throw law enforcement officers into jail! We reported on Wednesday how the Democrats in the Philadelphia city government apparently believe that illegal immigrants are above the law. Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney Larry Krasner, who got one of his office’s lawyers disbarred from the federal court …
A color revolution isn’t primarily about violence. Violence is sloppy. It scares donors and ruins the optics. The real weapon is narrative. The objective is to convince enough people that the existing authority has morally expired. Once that belief spreads, the government doesn’t collapse from force — it collapses from ridicule and doubt.
Our friend Jane went into the voting booth and chose politicians who promote civil disorder, without considering what the reality would look like. I’m sure having her nose rubbed in a putrid mess of her own making, only adds to her rage.
History has a sense of humor, and it’s rarely kind. As the United States barrels headlong into a Fourth Turning crisis—complete with generational rage, institutional distrust, ritualized protest, economic anxiety, and ideological self-harm—China isn’t protesting anything. It’s watching. Quietly. Patiently. With a spreadsheet.
The skewed hand-wringing narrative by the leftist legacy media studiously avoids the most basic civic premise of a constitutional republic: federal law is not optional, and federal law enforcement is not a performance art for leftist activists to interrupt.
A house divided cannot stand. Right now, the National Rifle Association is living that proverb in real time, and it’s painful to watch—because for generations the NRA wasn’t just an organization. It was the standard-bearer. The steward. The institution that most Americans, whether they owned a firearm or not, understood as the big dog in the fight over the Second Amendment.
There’s a legitimate reason or two why many of us are…underwhelmed by the Donald Trump Administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga. We see the Epstein List (to use the prevailing euphemism) as a key plug in the retaining wall maintaining the fetid and festering cess pool that is DC.
