IN THIS news report from last fall, Donald Trump mocks the physical condition of a reporter with palsy. He then later apparently lied about it and said he didn’t know the reporter.

Trump here — and elsewhere — is an embarrassment to the cause of preserving America’s borders. Read More »

DONALD Trump, who once attended a same-sex “marriage” and called it “beautiful,” is relatively good for the LGBT cause. He personally supports free marriage and he has been a vocal supporter of “gay rights.” According to Jonathan Jacob Allen:

Donald Trump’s been accused of being a bully and a bigot. But he stands out among Republican presidential hopefuls for his comparative sensitivity to one politically potent minority group: the gay community.

Trump has advocated for banning workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. He criticized a Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court found, earlier this year, that the Constitution protects the right of same-sex couples to marry. He is also one of only two Republican candidates — along with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie — that the Human Rights Campaign deems to have even a “mixed” record on gay rights.

“He is one of the best, if not the best, pro-gay Republican candidates to ever run for the presidency,” said Gregory T. Angelo, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, an advocacy group for LGBT Republicans. Read More »

CHARLES MURRAY writes in the Wall Street Journal on the appeal of Donald Trump to the white working class. “American egalitarianism is on its last legs,” he says. It has produced an elite (much wealthier in real dollars than the elite of 50 years ago) with open snobbery and contempt for the disaffected white lower classes, who have seen decline and community breakdown. Trumpism has replaced Americanism.

“It is the endgame of a process that has been going on for a half-century: America’s divestment of its historic national identity…. Its three core values may be summarized as egalitarianism, liberty and individualism….Today, the creed has lost its authority and its substance. What happened?….

“In my 2012 book “Coming Apart,” I discussed these new classes at length. The new upper class consists of the people who shape the country’s economy, politics and culture. The new lower class consists of people who have dropped out of some of the most basic institutions of American civic culture, especially work and marriage. Both of these new classes have repudiated the American creed in practice, whatever lip service they may still pay to it. Trumpism is the voice of a beleaguered working class telling us that it too is falling away….. Work and marriage have been central to American civic culture since the founding, and this held true for the white working class into the 1960s. Almost all of the adult men were working or looking for work, and almost all of them were married. Read More »

The Bergoglian Bomber Has Been at it Again.

DR. THOMAS DROLESKEY writes at Christ or Chaos:

Nearly three years after he appeared on the balcony of the Basilica of Saint Peter on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio has stripped away any pretense of being anything other than an apologist for international Marxism, which is but the stepchild of Judeo-Masonry, and its agenda of One World Governance.

It is not to toot one’s own horn to state the simple fact that there was no need to “wait” to see whether Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a Catholic as his record as the conciliar “archbishop” of Buenos Aires, Argentina, provided all of the evidence that one needed to recognize a man who has been a career-long blaspheming heretic. That some preferred to “wait and see” as they tried to praise the “pope” when he said something that sounded like true elements of Catholicism while reserving to themselves the right to reject that which they knew to be false was inexcusable at the time and even more so now.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a minion and precursor of Antichrist. It is bad enough that he distorted the meaning of the Prophet Jonas’s preaching to the inhabitants of the city of Nineveh in his “homily” during the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on Wednesday, February 17, 2016, Ember Wednesday in Lent. Although this wretched, indecent and vulgar-tongued apostate has given many interviews in the past that have been replete with heresy, the one that he gave today, February 18, 2016, Thursday of the First Week of Lent and the Commemoration of Saint Simeon, shows to anyone who has a modicum of intelligence that he is a willing tool of the New World Order. Modernism is an instrument of helping to establish, institutionalize and propagate this New World Order.

Without any further delay, therefore, permit me to turn your attention to several of the answers provide by Jorge Mario Bergoglio in this latest interview before providing a brief and charitable (charity seeketh the truth, of course) interjections, comments and primal screams:

[…]

Jorge Mario Bergoglio has “excommunicated” Donald John Trump from a generic “Christianity” because of his positions on protecting the borders of the United States of America as he, Bergoglio, deliberately immersed himself into what he knows is a hot-button political issue in this country during an election year. He is an insidious, crapulous hypocrite. Read More »

AS A sensitive and intelligent adolescent, Stephen Heiner discovered that something was deeply amiss with the Church of Vatican II. In this essay, he recounts how he went from the mainstream to the catacombs:

But as I flipped through the Missal, it wasn’t the semi-familiar Canon that reduced me to tears.  It was what came before, which was the Offertory.  I remember gaping, at the verge of tears, the first time my eyes read these words:

Suscipe, Sancte Pater, omnipotens et aeterne Deus, hanc immaculatam hostiam, quam ego indignus  famulus tuus offero tibi Deo meo vivo et vero, pro innumerabilibus peccatis, et offensionibus, et negligentiis meis, et pro omnibus fidelibus christianis vivis atque defunctis: ut mihi et illis proficiat ad salutem in vitam aeternam.  Amen.

GLORIA Steinem is hardly the anti-establishment figure she pretends to be. The Central Intelligence Agency launched Steinem’s career as a leftist activist. In the recorded interview above, Steinem openly discusses her work as a CIA agent, a fact which she later attempted to suppress. Here are more details from Kerry Bolton’s book Revolution from Above: Manufacturing ‘Dissent’ in the New World Order (Arktos, 2011):

One of the seminal ideologues of feminism, Gloria Steinem, got her start as part of the CIA policy of co-opting the Left during the Cold War era. From this beginning she was promoted and nurtured by the foundations and others of the globalist oligarchy.

Steinem became a Marxist during her student days. She stated to author Susan Mitchell: ‘When I was in college, it was the McCarthy era, and that made me a Marxist.’[ 541] Read More »

Jackson Pollacks “Number 17A” will be forgotten in 50 years

IS IT possible to admire this painting, Jackson Pollack’s “Number 17A,” which was bought recently by hedge fund billionaire Kenneth Griffin for $200 million, without knowing it was painted by a famous artist and is worth a lot of money? I say it is not. Not that Pollack had no artistic talent or that this is entirely uninteresting (there is nothing in the world — even a blank piece of paper — that is entirely without visual interest), but if you came across the same image on a discarded painter’s apron in an attic somewhere, would you consider it a work of art and attempt to sell it or keep it?

It is not surprising that abstract expressionism, which shows no sense of place or personality, would be coveted by a globalist, capitalist oligarchy.

Capitalism is to a sound economic order what pornography is to intimacy. It depersonalizes everything it touches. Even art. Read More »

ZIPPY CATHOLIC writes:

Modern people are under the impression that the main function of democratic elections is to exercise individual influence over how we are governed. This is not the case. The main function of elections is to build and maintain social consensus over how we are in fact governed, which is under the political philosophy of liberalism. Read More »

A READER highly recommends this video about Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. I am not familiar with “Lionel Nation.” He makes good points about blind trust in the government and the demonization of “conspiracy theories.” Here is more from him on how the Scalia investigation should have proceeded. Regardless of what happened to Scalia, the handling of his death is a national disgrace, a grotesque violation of the people’s trust. (As with all links, this is not a blanket endorsement of a journalist.)

MARK MONCRIEFF wrote in a post last year on the pull of women away from home:

The absence of housewives is also evident in making society more lonely, women are not at home, making it hard to connect with neighbours. Anti-crime programs have been dropped because housewives aren’t in the home to even look out for anything unusual. Many tasks once done by housewives are now done for money, childcare, looking after the elderly or sick relatives or neighbours, schools now pay people to provide lunches for students instead of mothers doing it. Charities which once relied on housewives to run shops, sort deliveries, visit the sick or elderly, must now pay people to do these tasks. Wonder no more about why you get called by charities so much.

FROM “Divine Love, as a Light which Enlightens us,”  by St. Alphonsus Liguori: 

One of the worst effects which Adam’s sin produced in us, was its blinding our reason by means of the passions, which darkened the mind. O how miserable is the soul that allows itself to be ruled by any of the passions! Passion is a vapour, a veil, which will not suffer us to see the truth. How can he fly from evil, who knows not what is evil? Our mental obscurity increases in proportion as our sins increase. But the Holy Ghost, who is called “Light most blessed,” with His divine rays, not only inflames our hearts to love Him, but also dispels our darkness, and reveals to us the vanity of all worldly things, the value of eternal goods, the importance of salvation, the price of grace, the goodness of God, the infinite love which He deserves from us, and the immense love He has shown to us: The sensual man perceiveth not the things that are of the spirit of God (1 Cor. ii. 14. ).

Man absorpt in the pleasures of the earth, knows but little of these truths, and hence he unhappily loves that which he should hate, and hates that which he should love. St. Mary Magdalen, of Pazzi, exclaimed: “O love not known, O love not loved!” And hence St. Teresa said, that God is not loved because He is not known. Hence the saints ever sought light from God: “Send forth thy light: illuminate our darkness: open thou our eyes.” Yes, because without light, precipices cannot be avoided, and God cannot be found.

“THOSE who’ve experienced hell, can be prophets.”

JON RAPPOPORT writes at his blog:

Four days before he died, Supreme Court Justice Scalia voted to stall Obama’s plan to force drastic climate-change rules on the American economy. The vote was 5-4.

With Scalia now gone, the vote would be 4-4. Read More »

AN INTERVIEW with Dr. E. Michael Jones on his book Libido Dominandi, Sexual Liberation and Political Control.

Dr. Jones has been the victim of “dynamic silence” in the mainstream media, which treats him and his works as if they did not exist.

ANTI-GLOBALIST EXPATRIATE writes:

This anecdote from an article in New York magazine about why China’s super-rich send their children to America sums up Asian culture today in a nutshell. Asians make stereotypical aggressive New Yorkers look like Quakers:

“When I first drove in Asia, I flashed my signal and immediately people, instead of slowing down, all sped up to cut me off. It was so maddening, and then, after a little while, I became like everyone else. I never signal when I turn in Asia. I just do it. You don’t have a choice.”

A READER writes:

This study by Catholic scholar Dr. John Rao is hands-down the best historical and philosophical explanation as to why America seemingly cannot be a normal nation and why Americans seemingly cannot be or, more appropriately, are not allowed to be a normal people.

As the author demonstrates, the Americanist Religion has both a left-wing and a right-wing, a liebral and a conservative (or ‘cuck$ervative,’ as we now so affectionately know it) version of its “Exceptionalism” (even amongst the putative ‘far-Right’) and as we see in reality, are merely the left and right wings of the same bird — the Americanist Vulture — the replacement for the American Eagle.

An excerpt:

Generations of European observers, beginning with Alexis de Tocqueville in his Democracy in America, have remarked upon the effectiveness with which American society, motivated by its Anglo-Saxon spirit, has quietly repressed the emergence of sharp differences of opinion, and channeled its population’s efforts into limited, peaceful, but indiscriminately vulgar material goals. Their commentaries have been supported by numerous American writers who have felt the obligation to “drop out” of this society in order to live as full human beings. I am speaking here of men of the Right, and not of liberals, whose “anti-Americanism” is itself a form of the same Americanist mentality. One is reminded, for example, of T.S. Eliot’s assertion that the thinking American often sought to “lose himself” somewhere outside the national mainstream, in places like New York City, in order to maintain at least the illusion of intellectual and spiritual survival.
