Plutarch writes of a thought experiment called the Ship of Theseus. Theseus’s legendary ship was supposedly preserved at Athens for centuries, but every part had been replaced over time. Is it still the same ship even if none of the original parts are left? You could ask the same question about America. The inevitable struggle...

If there is one phrase that sums up the American conservative movement, it is “our principles forbid us from pursuing our interests.” For many years, before joining American Renaissance, I worked in Conservatism Inc., a term I may have coined. In campus activism, in campaigns, and in conservative journalism, I always marveled at the complicated...

This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee.
Few believe President Donald Trump will solve all our problems. Yet he ran on a platform of mass deportations and ending the “occupation” of the country. Can white advocates realistically expect anything positive from the new Administration? And what are the consequences if he fails?
A journalist once asked Tom Homan if there was a way to deport people without separating families. “Of course there is,” he said. “Families can be deported together.” Tom Homan was a longtime Border Patrol agent and became President Donald Trump’s acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from 2017 to 2018. Now, President...
Read MorePresident Donald Trump is back. Barring catastrophe, the 45th president of the United States will be the 47th, and this time, he has a mandate. Many progressives were confident Kamala Harris would cruise to victory and end the MAGA movement once and for all. After their defeat, they know whom to blame — white people....

The Trump victory has been such a seismic event that people are still trying to understand and explain it. Something that baffled both Republicans and Democrats was President Trump’s waning white support and increased non-white support. This has led to questions — even by our uncompromising staff writer Gregory Hood — about one of the...

Certain parties, figures, and coalitions define entire eras of American politics. There was the Era of Good Feelings. There was the Jacksonian Era. Now, there is the Trump Era. In the final days of the campaign, one of Vice President Kamala Harris’s messages was that voters were exhausted with Donald Trump and ready to move...
Read MoreBut is it a victory for white people?
This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee. Donald Trump has won a great victory against the massed forces of liberalism. He won it against an army of hardened enemies who have made him the most hated man in American history. In 2016, calling Donald Trump a racist and a white supremacist didn’t stop...

Before the 2022 midterms, President Joe Biden gave a menacing speech with cartoonish black-and-red colors, accusing “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans” of extremism that threatens the “very foundations of our Republic.” Some conservatives thought the aesthetics were close to fascism, complete with dire warnings about an internal enemy. The tactic worked. Abortion overwhelmed economic worries...

Every election, we hear the same thing: This year, blacks will leave the Democratic planation and vote Republican. Naturally conservative Hispanics will join the GOP. Asian-Americans will revolt against affirmative action and back Republicans. There is another variation popular on the Dissident Right: The GOP will finally consolidate the white vote and build a nationalist...

He won’t attack Kamala Harris where it would really hurt.

White candidates just hint at race. Even the allegedly “racist” Donald Trump is no different. So far, in this campaign, he refuses to go for the jugular — to highlight...

“They are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats,” said Donald Trump in his debate with Kamala Harris. “They are eating the pets of the people that live there.” President Trump was referring to claims that Haitian in Springfield, Ohio, are eating people’s pets. The so-called fact checkers swiftly “debunked” this claim, though that...

In 2020, Donald Trump supporters were confident he would win. In 2022, Republicans predicted a “red wave.” Incredibly, in 2024, Republicans and Donald Trump supporters are not just confident but complacent, even with the former president now taking on Kamala Harris. They are not totally irrational. On the surface, Kamala Harris is not a formidable...
Read MoreI know many people who have had their lives wrecked by “cancel culture.” They lost jobs, spouses, houses, friends, and social networks. Some are permanently unemployable for anything but manual labor. This has real consequences. Politics revolves around the friend/enemy distinction and patron/client relationships. Those on the Right learn quickly that few on “their side”...

At the end, he is executed as he begs for his life in front of contemptuous journalists. Commentary at Morgoth’s Review called the film a...

Some loser tried to kill Donald Trump. Republicans are in a frenzy of recrimination and finger-pointing while some liberals now say they will vote for the former president. They are being just as irrational as anyone who thought we needed a “racial reckoning” because of George Floyd. The death of one small-time black criminal should...
Read MorePresident Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, taking a grazing bullet wound in the ear. He responded with bravura, pumping his fist at the crowd and telling them to “fight” as the Secret Service tried to hustle him off. Several progressives on X alleged that the shooting may have been fake. This would...
Read MoreOne of the first things Joe Biden did after he was elected was undo Donald Trump’s immigration legacy. He stopped deportations and border wall construction, and called for amnesty. That summer, he ended President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. CNN ran a picture of a young man holding a Nicaraguan flag, with the caption: “He...
Read MoreSonald Trump was never what we hoped he would be. He never will be. The “God-Emperor” memes from 2016 are now embarrassing. He broke his immigration promises, he arguably made things worse on race, and he never even controlled the bureaucracy. He is not the Once and Future King; he is not even Nayib Bukele....
Read MorePresident Joe Biden scored a political success last night, beating the low expectations for his State of the Union. However, white advocates watching it rolled their eyes. Within a few seconds, he had invoked World II, Hitler, and January 6. This was a shameless campaign speech as he claimed “freedom and democracy are under assault...

Nowhere else will speaker after speaker tell you that the United States is the greatest nation in history — and in the next breath tell you that it is on the...
Read MoreDuring the 2022 midterm elections, President Joe Biden gave an angry speech with a menacing black-and-red background, calling his GOP opponents enemies of equality and democracy. It seemed like a sign of desperation — the tactic of a failing president trying to distract people from real economic problems by inciting hatred. Much of the country...

January 6, 2021, was a disaster for the American Right. Despite the emotional satisfaction some felt, the riot at the Capitol discredited President Donald Trump, allowed the Left to call conservatives rioters, justified yet more repression, and forced Republicans who had been investigating the 2020 election into full retreat. It would have been far better...
Read MoreNikki Haley’s campaign for president can be best understood by comparing it to the current television drama Yellowstone. The show is wildly successful and will spawn several spinoffs, and has an impressive cast. The New York Times calls it a “conservative fantasy.” It features rough-and-tumble white people with cowboy hats and guns triumphing over city-slickers....

On paper, the Republican Party should have run away with the midterm elections. It did not. It failed for structural, ideological, and demographic reasons. It probably can’t fix any of this. This is an opportunity for white advocates. At this writing, it is virtually certain the Democrats will control the Senate no matter what happens...

They were right to do so. Free speech means they lose. Truth is on our side. There are reasons for hope and for despair. Elon Musk fired...
Read MorePresident Joe Biden’s midterm campaign message is that he is defending democracy from former president Donald Trump and his supporters. At Independence Hall, he says “MAGA forces” are a threat to the country. Among their sins is their promotion of “authoritarian leaders” and “[fanning] the flames of political violence that are threat to our personal...
Read MoreCPAC is the great annual festival of useless conservatism, and 2022 was like the rest. There were countless declarations of love for America and assertions that it is the greatest nation on earth — not just now but in all of history. And yet in the very next breath come terrifying warnings that America has...
Read MorePresident Donald Trump spoke where he said “it all started,” alongside the “great patriots of CPAC.” Donald Trump’s annual CPAC talks — no doubt allowed by organizers because of The Donald’s celebrity status — built his credibility in the years before his campaign. The last time he didn’t speak at CPAC was in 2016, when...

How about the Jan. 6 defendants?
These are published without comment. I’ve said all I want to on this case before.
Many leftists really do think Ashli Babbitt was a “terrorist” and, presumably, deserved to die. Breaking into the Capitol was a bad idea. However, an unarmed woman didn’t deserve to be executed for it. Furthermore, when countless rioters looted, burned, and attacked people in the name of George Floyd they got away with their crimes....

If enough people say something often enough, it becomes “true.” Big media and people at the highest levels of government now accept that the Capitol takeover of January 6 was an “armed insurrection” by “white supremacists.” A few eccentrics wonder how you can have an “insurrection” with no plan and no weapons, but virtually everyone...

The Regime on the Potomac has begun its campaign of repression. Media hysterics about “insurrectionists” and a vague Department of Homeland security bulletin about terrorism created an artificial crisis. Figures in the new Administration are eager to use state power against “racists,” even while they tolerate real crime. Add to this the concepts of “restorative...

Donald Trump is gone. No storm broke. No reckoning came. There was no plan. In his place, a career politician assumed the presidency. Joe Biden muttered some platitudes. Most people have already forgotten them, probably including Joe Biden. We’re told the inauguration was historic and dramatic. It was banal and boring. It celebrated mediocrity. It...

Joe Biden has the people who took over the Capitol on Jan. 6 figured out. In just two days, he had them pegged for “a bunch of thugs, insurrectionists, white supremacists, and anti-Semites, and it’s not enough.” Not enough? He also said they were “domestic terrorists.” Senators Charles Schumer and Lindsay Graham, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer,...

Respectable political opinion in the West is mostly nonsense. Sometimes, even race realists become so used to the stupidity that we are like the fish who never notice water. Sometimes it takes China, a self-respecting civilization-state, to expose our elites’ silly beliefs and shameless hypocrisy. American journalists and politicians are in a moral panic over...

Anyone can see the footage. Ashli Babbitt was a young woman at Wednesday’s protests. She had no weapon, not even a stick. There were armed police in front of her and behind her. She posed no danger to anyone. Still, a police officer, apparently black, shot and killed her. I never thought I’d say this,...
Read MoreThere’s an idea of a Joe Biden — but no real person. He is the president-elect, but he seems almost irrelevant even before he takes office. Does he even know who will be in charge? Just this week, he called Kamala Harris “president-elect.” His campaign offered nothing new. The Atlantic described his victory this way:...
Read MoreLast night, President Trump signed a $2.3 trillion spending package that combined COVID-19 relief with funding to keep the government running. Earlier that day, President Trump had reposted the speech in which he warned Congress to “increase payments to the people, get rid of the ‘pork.’” He folded hours later. This is a pattern. In...

History Has Begun is a very important but badly flawed book. Bruno Maçães, Portugal’s former foreign minister and now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, perfectly describes the myth of American civilization, arguing that America was founded on “the promise of fantasy.” America lets people live out compelling stories, something which is central to...

Many white advocates are unhappy about last night’s election results. They didn’t get the decisive Trump win they wanted and it’s suspicious that the president was leading in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states when the authorities decided they couldn’t finish counting votes until tomorrow. Texas and Florida didn’t have that problem. Fox News called...

Black singer Whitney Houston probably performed the most famous rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in history. At Super Bowl XXV in 1991, a patriotic crowd cheered and...
