FEMALE HIGH school athletes face the disturbing phenomenon of having to compete against boys. The girls don’t know what to do because it is now unacceptable to state the obvious, which is that there really is no such thing as “transgenderism.”
All this seems like a good reason to give up super-competitive, obsessive, femininity-ruining academic athletics, which make girls into pseudo-boys anyway.
It once was possible to be feminine and athletic. The best way to fight the insane superstition of “transgenderism” is to be a masculine man or a feminine woman.
PRO-family activists won a victory in Washington state last month against a bill that would have advanced the sex ed agenda in public schools, Salwa Bachar at Tradition in Action reports.
What moral can we take away from this story as counter-revolutionaries? I end with the encouraging words of Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, taken from his classic book, Revolution and Counter-Revolution:
“The counter-revolutionary has no reason to be discouraged because of the fact that the great majority of men are not presently on his side. Indeed, an exact study of history shows us that it was not the masses who made the Revolution. They moved in a revolutionary direction because they had revolutionary elites behind them. If they had had elites of the opposite orientation behind them, they likely would have moved in the opposite direction.
“An objective view of history shows that the factor of mass is secondary; the principal factor is the formation of elites. For this formation, the counter-revolutionary can always use the resources of his individual action, and can therefore obtain good results in spite of the shortage of material and technical means with which, at times, he may contend.”
MORE AND MORE Catholics are coming to the inescapable realization that Jorge Bergoglio, aka “Pope” Francis, is — to use an old-fashioned, but indispensable word — a heretic.
Very few, however, have drawn the logical conclusions from this fact:
1. By divine law a public heretic cannot be pope.
2. The root of Francis’s heresies lies in the Vatican II Council, which is responsible for the less obvious but no less outrageous heresies of his immediate predecessors, John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
3. Francis’s open contempt for Church teachings on sexual morality has pushed many Catholics over the edge and prompted these latest accusations of heresy, but equally egregious are Vatican II heresies on the nature of the Church, on religious liberty, on ecumenism, on the historical events of the Incarnation and more, of which all the Vatican II claimants to the papacy, not just Francis, are guilty.
The papal chair is empty. Papal succession continues in the material sense only. Jorge Bergoglio doesn’t even want to be pope. See more from Fr. Anthony Cekada here and here. He writes:
Vatican II represented the triumph of the modernist heresy, dominated as it was by theologians who were, as the Louvain professor Jürgen Mettepennigen said, “inheritors of modernism.” The poisoned seeds of theological error were sown during the Council with all its yes/buts, existentialist blathering, equivocations, ambiguities, work-arounds, silences, poisoned neologisms, redefinitions, false equivalences, destroyed distinctions and the rest.
Bergoglio is nothing more than one more poisoned fruit from a thoroughly poisoned garden, and he has merely been applying the principles that Vatican II gave him.
Unfortunately due to slick marketing and the natural desire for peace, harmony and God’s love in a fallen world, quite a few innocently perceive a benevolent message in Bergoglio’s frequent outrages.
All this adds to the feeling that we are living through a bad sitcom. (Here’s his latest.) Francis drags the papacy through the mud. He does what a true pope can never do: He harms souls. Turn the TV off and think about what all this means. Your refusal to recognize him as pope matters.
Thought-crimes differ from ordinary crimes in several respects.
First, they aren’t defined. Nobody knows exactly what “racism” is; it can mean anything the accuser wants it to mean. And it rarely refers to overt acts; usually it refers to the alleged thoughts or attitudes of the accused.
Second, nothing has to be proved — and since the word has no clear definition, nothing can be proved. So the accuser bears no burden of proof, as he would in cases of ordinary crimes. The accused is presumed guilty as long as the accusation is sufficiently strident. And, given the vagueness of the charge, he can’t prove he isn’t racist. Read More »
Prince Harry, relaxed and rested after the birth of his son
THE NEW YORK Timesplays up the racial angle to the max with the reported birth of a son to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle:
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex — better known as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — on Monday welcomed their first child, a boy, the first multiracial baby in the British monarchy’s recent history.
Reporters Ellen Barry and Palko Karasz hyperventilate over the implications for multicultural Britain:
For many, the new baby’s importance will be indelibly linked with race.
Britain is 87 percent white, but multiracial children make up its fastest-growing ethnic category, and will soon be the country’s largest minority group. The entry of Meghan Markle, the descendant of plantation slaves, into the royal family resonated deeply with many people of African descent, who almost immediately began to anticipate the birth of the couple’s first child.
The future is bright for America too. There is positive jubilation that the child is not white:
“It’s hopeful for people of my kids’ generation to see a princess of mixed race,” said Lise Ragbir, who is black and has written of her own experience raising a lighter-skinned child.
Repeatedly, beginning when her daughter was 6 months old, she said, strangers have approached her to ask, “Is that your baby?”
“It will be such a recognizable baby that it could shift people’s awareness,” said Ms. Ragbir, 45, a gallery director in Austin, Tex. “When one of the most famous families in the world does not have the same skin tone, people might pause before asking a stranger, ‘Is that your baby?’”
And then there’s this queer statement from the alleged father, Prince Harry:
“This little thing is absolutely to die for, so I’m just over the moon,” a beaming Prince Harry told reporters outside the couple’s residence near Windsor Castle. “Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It’s been the most amazing experience I can ever possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, and we’re both absolutely thrilled.”
“This little thing.” There is something …. detached about these words.
When she was eight months pregnant, Meghan and Harry went to pay their respects to the victims of the New Zealand mosque false flag (remember: a false flag may involve real victims). Notice how easily she bent down and got up, how she does not walk or move like a heavily pregnant woman, lending support to the very dark theory that this older, re-tread bride was not really pregnant. We are not ready to embrace this theory. But in the through-the-looking-glass, Masonic monarchy of subverted Britain, anything is possible.
Whether he is the child of a surrogate or the real deal, we know one thing: “this little thing” will be used to promote a sinister agenda.
EVERY SPRING he would emerge from his underground cave and bust open the lattice. He would look out over his kingdom and plan his dining experiences, his digging adventures, his waddling trips through field and highway, his naps in the sun. He was as fat and sturdy as any creature who lives off the land could be. They don’t call them ground hogs for nothing.
Last week, we took down the old shed he used for cover. We are trying to upgrade — and the changes don’t include him.
Where will he go?
Fatso probably has little anxiety about his survival. I am sure he is still alive. I am sure he is as confident as he has always been. The sun and the earth will provide for him. And so will lots of hard-working gardeners. From spring to spring, he is at home in the world. His life is a lesson in domestic ease. Read More »
FROM the 1950 pamphlet “Know Your Enemy” by Maj. Robert H. Williams, an American military intelligence officer:
Revolutionary political activities in the [Russian] ghettos began to be organized in the early part of last century. So “promising” was the ghetto force that Heinrich Heine, Jewish-German poet, leader of the Communist youth and collaborator of Karl Marx, foretold with breathtaking, if sadistic, accuracy in the 1840’s the future destruction of Russia by Communism:
“Communism, though little discussed now and loitering in hidden garrets on miserable straw pellets, is the dark hero destined for a great, if temporary, role in the modern tragedy ….
“It would be war, the ghastliest war of destruction . . . The second act is the European and the World Revolution, the great duel between the destitute and the aristocracy of wealth; and in that there will be no mention of either nationality or religion; there will be only one fatherland, the globe, and only one faith, that in happiness on earth . . . How could the drama end? Read More »
E. MICHAEL JONES discusses his book Home Alone: A Neighbor’s Thoughts on Pete Buttigieg. Jones and Our Interesting Times host Tim Kelly talk about why South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is preparing to run for president. The book’s blurb on Amazon:
Presidential aspirant South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg poses the question “What would my next-door neighbors think of all this?” in his political autobiography Shortest Way Home. In Home Alone, E. Michael Jones, who has lived with his family on the very block where Buttigieg grew up since before Buttigieg was born, answers that question, and his answer is devastating. For “virtually every … claim in [his] book, the facts stubbornly resist the paradigm Mayor Pete brings to bear to interpret them,” writes Jones, as he picks apart the fallacies in Buttigieg’s self-serving autobiography. After reading Home Alone, you’ll never look at Buttigieg or his presidential hopes in the same way again.
MAINE has becomes the seventh state to replace Columbus Day with “Indigenous People’s Day.” The Anti-New York Times reports on this romanticizing of the past before the Big, Bad White Man showed up:
Even the most libtarded academic eggheads do not deny the brutality and human sacrificing that was going on throughout pre-Columbian times. They just downplay or ignore it. But it was this brutality which enabled the Spaniards, with such ridiculously small numbers, to overthrow these vicious tyrants. That’s because so many oppressed natives were eager to join the ranks of the Spaniards and throw off the murderous yoke of their Aztec, Mayan and Incan tormentors. The fact is, were it not for the arrival of Whitey and the Christian doctrine, these demonic mass-torture-murders would likely still being going on today. And that is why we, Whites and descendants of natives alike, should continue to honor the voyage of Columbus and those who came after him.
Note: I have been unusually busy fixing up our house, which was built in 1953 and has all the problems that houses built quickly in that era have. Due to the mess, we have had no internet or phone connection for almost two weeks. I hope to resume regular blogging shortly, as soon as this exhausting and rewarding effort is over.
In the meantime, a reader whom many of you know from this site was kind enough to notice that this month is the tenth anniversary of this blog.

This month marks the tenth anniversary of The Thinking Housewife.
It was at Lawrence Auster’s blog View from the Right that I first read the name Laura Wood. Much of what Mr. Auster wrote seemed eminently reasonable to me. He was out-of-step with the contemporary zeitgeist fully as much as I was. Reading many of Laura Wood’s comments at VFR and then discovering The Thinking Housewife made it clear to me that she, too, had strayed far from Right-Think and Right-Speak (which is to say: Left-Think and Left-Speak).

After Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz divorced, Lucy became a widow on “The Lucy Show” and the former “Ethel” became the divorced “Viv,” complete with the more stylish hairdos and clothes the divorced actress Vivian Vance demanded.
PAUL MICHAEL CLARK writes:
Given your post about The Brady Bunch and prime-time propaganda, you might find interesting the following extract from Barry Williams’s memoir Growing Up Brady. Mr. Williams, who played the eldest son on that show, here recalls a pre-production meeting between Brady Bunch creator Sherwood Schwartz and ABC bosses regarding Carol Brady, the mother character:
“Sherwood and the network locked horns over the fate of Carol’s first husband. Sherwood wanted him alive, well, and happily divorced from Carol, but the network demanded his death. Sherwood met with the brass, smiled, nodded, and was extremely polite, but paid no attention to the suggestions: he left the fate of the girls’ father uncertain. You may notice she never refers to the guy as being dead. In Sherwood’s mind, Carol Brady was television’s first divorcee!”
As an unwitting chronicler of social decline, however, Barry Williams displays a curious ignorance about his era’s TV history, odd for a man whose fame is buried there. Seven years before The Brady Bunch first appeared, actress Vivian Vance made her debut as divorced mother Viv Bagley on CBS’s The Lucy Show. This was no cameo, but rather a multi-season, co-star role as sidekick to Lucille Ball’s title character. In addition, a couple of years after Miss Vance left the program, she reprised “Viv” for guest appearances in which the character was by then “remarried.” (Off screen, Vivian Vance was on her fourth “marriage” while Lucille Ball had recently divorced Desi Arnaz. To locate The Lucy Show in our cultural timeline, it premiered the same month as did Vatican II.) Read More »
But surely not “Western European….” That I have never seen. Where does that leave Brahms? Vienna is not Western Europe. Chopin? Warsaw is not Western Europe. Dvorak? Prague is not Western Europe. Vivaldi? Venice is not Western Europe, and the whole of Italy is not either.
“European art music” is simple, descriptive, accurate, basically coterminous with the practice of written music — musical notation being a European invention dating from ca 1035. Read More »
