The Emperor’s Pretty Clothes — a modern fairy tale

“Your Imperial Majesty, please, give us a moment. It’s true that no one in the empire can be better dressed than you. The problem, as we see it — and we are, after all, the trendiest of stylists — is that you’ve hit a dead-end with your men’s clothes. There are only so many ways to style trousers and shirts. Women’s clothes, however, are virgin territory for you. And because they’re more complex than men’s clothes, the possibilities are endless.”

Book Review: Albion’s Seed | Slate Star Codex

“Albion’s Seed by David Fischer is a history professor’s nine-hundred-page treatise on patterns of early immigration to the Eastern United States. It’s not light reading and not…”

Mike Adams – Faculty Restrooms: The New Civil Rights Frontier

“Generally speaking, objective designations have no place in the postmodern university. They are intolerant and therefore should not be tolerated. We should take a stand by refusing to stand for them. And we should promote our diversity with a single unifying voice. Unanimity in defense of diversity should be our highest priority.”

‘Make America Mexico Again’: Why Americans are fed up with illegals

There was a time in this nation’s history when having 13 million people breach your border would have been considered an invasion. We used to fight wars over such a hostile act.

But these days instead of repelling the invaders, the Obama administration gave them food stamps, free health care, and a voter registration card.

We’ve been invaded and our government has provided aid and comfort to the enemy.
