Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is very good and enjoying time with their family. Everything is good for me, except that unfortunately, last night, the beautiful actress Zendaya broke into my house and stole all the presents from under my tree, dragging them back to her filthy underground shack, where she wallows...

The Greatest Gift of All

The decorations and gifts of Christmas are one of our connections to a Christian culture that has held Western civilization together for 2,000 years. In our culture the individual counts. This permits an individual person to put his or her foot down, to take a stand on principle, to become a reformer and to take... Read More

This week saw a new twist in what has become a D.C. Christmas tradition. I am not referring to the lighting of the White House Christmas tree but to passage of a “continuing resolution” (CR) funding the government and thus avoiding a Christmastime government shutdown. It took the production of three separate CRs before one... Read More

This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, Odysee, and X. There’s been no snow, but this has already been my whitest Christmas ever. I just attended the annual Christmas party of a group that is doing exactly what racially conscious white people should be doing: building communities. It’s a group based in a sizable urban...

Is it all right to be happy over a holiday that has “Happy” in its name?

“Pull your pants up, nigger!” I don’t know if you want to know this, but the summer is way over and it is almost time for the holidays. I don’t mean “the holidays” as in “happy holidays” as in “I’m sorry you’re Jewish,” I mean “holidays” in that there is a period with several holidays... Read More
THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES as a Christmas Movie
•�December 25, 2023
•�26,600 Words •�33 Comments • Reply
If the Christmas Movie could be construed as a genre, its catalog is underwhelming to say the least. Stories draw strength from conflict, but most Christmas movies keep tensions to a minimum lest holiday cheers be dampened. The assumption is people watch Holiday Movies for uplift; they want to be blissed out, not pissed on.... Read More

As Christmas 2023 rapidly approaches I am put in mind of a short poem, “The Broad Winter,” written some seventy years ago by English poet, Jack Clemo.

Since the Charleston church shooting in 2015, the hysterical—I would say diabolical—attack on everything Confederate and traditionally Southern has continued non-stop. Our monuments have been desecrated and removed from public spaces, relegated to obscure museums or storage barns, sometimes smashed to bits (the latest outrage is the uprooting of the monument to General A.

I am a big fan of President Trump’s Christmas greetings. We need a US president to wish Merry Christmas in this dark time.
