THE RUSSIAN OBSESSION WITH ALASKA

Russia’s Siberia and America’s Alaska seem almost to touch, with the tips of the Chukotka and Seward Peninsulas only 55 miles apart across the Bering Strait.

The scene of the planned Aug. 15 meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin — the U.S. state of Alaska — has played an outsized role in Russian propaganda and mythology.

The choice of Alaska for the summit has re-ignited imperialist narratives, with Kremlin propagandists emphasizing again that the peninsula used to be a Russian territory.

Some imperialist Russians have perceived the sale of Russian Alaska to the U.S. (more…)

AN HONEST HOUSE? THE END OF RACIAL GERRYMANDERS

Is the US Supreme Court about to disenfranchise black Americans and other racial minority voters?

You would think so, given the hysterical hyperbole found in the progressive press. In the New York Times, Jamelle Bouie claims that the Supreme Court is seeking to make the Voting Rights Act of 1965 – legislation that prohibits racial discrimination in the electoral process – “an artefact of the past”.

“The Supreme Court Prepares to End Voting Rights As We Know Them,” shrieks the headline in the Left-wing journal Mother Jones.

“Sixty years ago, the Voting Rights Act ended the Jim Crow (more…)

IS RUSSIA FALLING APART?

Russian officials are sounding increasingly alarmed and even paranoid in their public statements about the future of their country. Most notably, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed in September of last year that Western governments have assembled a coalition of at least fifty countries in order to dismember Russia.

What may appear to be political paranoia or an attempt to mobilize citizens behind the regime is not necessarily based on imagined enemies. It reveals the official realization that numerous negative trends are converging on Russia and that the current regime, and even the state itself, may be running out of time. (more…)

HOW DEMOCRATS RIG ELECTIONS AND CALL IT DEMOCRACY

The Democrat Party is in political free fall. Their approval ratings are sinking, their coalition is cracking, and the message they once rode to power no longer works. A recent Wall Street Journal poll found 63% of Americans now view the party unfavorably — the worst numbers the poll has recorded in three decades.

This wasn’t sudden. Democrats saw their decline coming — andinstead of changing course, they rigged the system to survive it.

After the 2020 census, Democrat-run states didn’t redraw their maps — they obliterated them. Republican districts were (more…)

THE BRITISH PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO STAND UP TO THEIR FASCIST GOVERNMENT

Britain’s Labor government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular.

But that’s not the real problem.

The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is.

You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it?

Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration.

You see, Britain has no First Amendment, an inviolate right to free speech.  (more…)

SOUR GRAPES AND UGLY LEFTIST WOMEN

What in the world happened to these beautiful girls who so grotesquely uglified themselves on purpose? These four are examples of so many more.

We’ve all heard Aesop’s story since we were kids:

“Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked, “Oh, you aren’t even ripe yet! I don’t need any sour grapes.” — Aesop, ca. 600 BC.

The Fox and the Sour Grapes is one of the oldest fables in Western culture: When we (more…)
