White Supremacy: The Left’s Latest Lie

 

There is only one thing that mutates faster these days than the coronavirus: the driving narrative of America’s social justice movement.

It all began – if you still remember – with police brutality. In May of last year, it was police brutality that was America’s terrible ill and sin. To purge it, we had to beat the police on their heads wherever they showed up and burn cities across the land. And we also had to kneel.

Then came the charge of systemic racism. To do away with that scourge, we had to do all of the above, plus white people had to apologize for their privilege.

Conservatism and the Southern Tradition

 

A review of Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition (All Points Books, 2018) by Sir Roger Scruton.

There is no such thing as conservatism, according to Sir Roger Scruton’s 155-page monograph, Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition. That is, there is no unified theory of conservatism because it is always localized to a time, a place, and a tradition. To say the word conservative means something different depending on who, and where, you are. But the philosophy of conservatism qua conservatism simply does not exist. By no means does that mean it’s empty, though.

Conservatism requires a modifier. There is Southern conservatism. There is British conservatism. There is even what you might call Yankee conservatism (see, e.g., the Salem Witch Trials). One might rightly say that there is a localized flavor of conservatism for every state and even every town, the objective of which is to preserve the native society, kinship, and ritual. Conservatism without a specific temporal and terrestrial provenance, though, is empty.

Biden Senior Advisor Ranks Mao Zedong Among “Favorite Political Philosophers”

 Via Cousin John

 

In a scary preview of what lies ahead, a cherished senior advisor to President Joe Biden ranks murderous Communist dictator Mao Zedong among her “favorite political philosophers.” The egregious admission actually forced the veteran political operative, Anita Dunn, to resign as Obama’s White House communications director over a decade ago and now she’s back along with a lengthy roster of leftist officials who served under the 44th president. Dunn sticks out among the group because she publicly praised the Chinese Communist revolutionary responsible for killing tens of millions and it was caught on video.

Biden Admin Deletes ‘1776 Commission’ from White House Website Immediately After Inauguration

 Supporters wave to outgoing US President Donald Trump as he returns to Florida along the route leading to his Mar-a-Lago estate on January 20, 2021 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump, the first president in more than 150 years to refuse to attend his successor's inauguration, is expected to spend …

Supporters Line Mar-a-Lago Streets to ‘Welcome Home’ Donald Trump

The 1776 Commission was removed from the White House website about an hour after President Joe Biden was sworn into office on Wednesday afternoon.

Biden had already prepared to reverse key policies of the Trump administration through executive orders on his first day in the White House. One of those policies to be reversed was the 1776 Commission, according to a report by CNN.

The 1776 Commission had released its final report on Monday, fulfilling Trump’s request to reaffirm the importance of America’s founding principles in the daily life and education of its citizens.

Pair of 1979 Lincoln Continentals With Delivery Miles Is a Rare Time Capsule

 

 Auto Revolution

Here’s a pair of identically-specced Lincolns, one a Mark V and one a Town Car sedan, with the same owner, just now looking for their second owner. One that will, hopefully, take them out for at least one drive, as they come with delivery miles.

This is a clear case of a time capsule vehicle, with the twist that we’re talking about a pair of two versions of the same car. They were both bought at the same time by one Clyde L. Farris of Arden, North Carolina, who paid $17,717 for the Mark V and $16,251 for the Town Car. The former has 10 miles (16 km) on the odometer, while the latter just 7 (11 km).

They’re so new they still have the factory plastic in place. Mr. Farris bought them, drove them home, and then, for whatever reason, didn’t as much as bother to take the wrapping off.

Both have a 6.6-liter V8 engine with 166 hp mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. Both have a cream exterior, which the Mark V pairs with a cream leather interior and the Town Car with gold plush seats. In the photos, the gold on the seats translates to a moldy green.

This intriguing pair is listed as separate items with Mecum Auctions as part of the Low Mileage Collection that crossed the auction block at the Kissimmee event. The event ended last weekend, and it looks like these two failed to secure a buyer since they’re now tagged with “The bid goes on…”

No estimate is offered for either, but both come with original documentation, original MSO, original bill of sale, original owner's manual and miscellaneous paperwork. And what is surely an entertaining story we might never hear.

Freedom of speech slipping away

                                                                                      Freedom of Speech Slipping Away | GOPUSA

Because those controlling these technology companies disproportionately have political sympathies to the left, it is the freedom of conservatives that is most seriously under siege.


As the new Biden-Harris administration assumes power, the most basic American freedom of speech and expression is under unprecedented threat.

For the first time ever, I am concerned about my freedom to do my work, to run a policy institute addressing issues of culture, race and poverty from a conservative perspective.
