Here is another predictable Detroit illustration of the truth that no good deed goes unpunished. A child stepped in front of a passing pickup truck and the driver stopped to help him. The child’s leg was broken in the accident, but the man was viciously beaten and robbed by at least eleven men. He is in critical condition in the hospital.
Isn’t it amazing that in America all one needs to do in order to know the truth about race is to simply turn statements by government officials and MSM narratives into their precise opposite? Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said of this horrible crime, “This senseless vigilante style attack is not the essence of who we are as Detroiters and will not be tolerated.” (more…)

California State Sen. Leland Yee, of San Francisco, is yet another member of the Model Minority who does not fit the ideal. Yee was recently charged with trafficking in firearms while a public official. He is accused of “buying automatic firearms and shoulder-launched missiles from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, an Islamist extremist group located in the southern Philippines and attempting to re-sell those weapons to an undercover FBI agent, as well as accepting a $10,000 bribe from an undercover agent in exchange for placing a call to the California Department of Public Health regarding a contract at the organization.”
In all, 26 people, including former school board president Keith Jackson, were indicted on charges related to an extensive crime ring headed by well-known Chinatown figure Raymond Chow, who was also arrested and charged Wednesday.
The indictment alleges Yee and Jackson defrauded “citizens of honest services” and were involved in a scheme to traffic firearms in exchange for thousands in campaign donations to the senator.
This bit of news about a Sikh who is a professor at Columbia and who was attacked in Harlem found it’s way all the way here. This must be one of those rare articles where the race of the attackers escaped the liberal gag.
“They were walking past a group of 25 to 30 young men, many of whom had bikes, when he heard, “Get him!”
And:
“Singh tells BuzzFeed that he doesn’t remember much about the suspects — except that most were “African-American.”
LOOK closely at the photos below of a small sampling of people who have been murdered, or are suspected of having been murdered, by black assailants. (One was not murdered. He was paralyzed from the neck down for life.) They were all but one attacked in “random” and “senseless” acts of violence by strangers.
Do you see anything remarkably similar — not a physical trait, but a quality of character — in all these faces? I don’t ask the question out of idle curiosity. I think the answer tells us something important about black psychology.

John Bannon died after he was knocked to the ground in Baton Rouge on Feb. 1.
THE FRONT NATIONAL won historic gains in the French elections earlier this week, winning a total of eleven cities. The nationalistic, anti-European Union, anti-immigration party is widely identified with its leader, Marine Le Pen. “People want to live like French people in France, not like Saudis or Qatari,” Le Pen said at a campaign rally. There is no major political figure in the United States who could get ahead saying similar things about American culture.
As an aside to the main news, Galliwatch has a post on the second “wife” of the new prime minister, Manuel Valls. In keeping with French fashions in political polygamy, Anne Gravoin replaced the mother of Valls’s four children. Tiberge writes of recent political wives:
They all seem similar. Cecilia Sarkozy, Carla Bruni, Ségolène Royal, Valérie Trierweiler, Julie Gayet, and now Anne Gravoin. Hugely ambitious (Cecilia less so), totally dependent on the man in their life for their own celebrity status, vaguely immoral, “cool” fashionistas, very leftist, antagonistic toward the traditional woman be she Madame De Gaulle, Marine Le Pen or Madame Ayrault, they ply the trade of social climber/courtesan with cold-blooded determination. Unfortunately, I don’t find them interesting.
Marine Corps Second Lt. Sage Santangelo, who is 5′ 3″, boasts that she can pass the grueling Infantry Officer Course — even though she has already failed it.
DON VINCENZO writes:
The Marine, arms crossed and dressed in fatigues with sleeves rolled up to display a well-developed arm, stares right into the camera. The eyes are of an attractive greyish-blue tint, and are set in a face that exudes an air of confidence which has been a tradition and trademark of the U.S. Marines from its founding. This is the face of today’s U.S. Marines; it is also the face a female Marine: 2nd Lt. Sage Santangelo. (Her parents were apparently fond of alliteration.)
Why does 2nd Lt. Santangelo’s photo grace the front page of The Washington Post’s Outlook Section (Mar. 30, 2014)? Well, it appears that the she feels slighted that the Corps did not think enough of her to allow her to lead Infantry Combat Units, so she has been unable to achieve her goal…at least for now. It appears that fourteen female candidates applied for the honor of leading Marine infantry units and demonstrate that they are “as good as men,” but none of the fourteen applicants made it across the finish line. One might add that more than 90% of the male candidates didn’t either.
ATILA Sinke Guimarães continues his analysis of Francis's apostolic exhortation (also known here as his apostatical exhortation.) He says the document's teaching on economic matters is "as red as the flag of the Communist Party."

As everyone can easily understand, the interior life is an elevated form of intimate conversation which everyone has with himself as soon as he is alone, even in the tumult of a great city. From the moment he ceases to converse with his fellow men, man converses interiorly with himself about what preoccupies him most. This conversation varies greatly according to the different ages of life; that of an old man is not that of a youth. It also varies greatly according as a man is good or bad.
HENRY McCULLOCH writes: The latest dark twist (pun intended) that feminism and mandated diversity has brought to our new and unimproved armed forces is a flap over women's hairstyles, as the Army Times reports. Black soldierettes are complaining that certain restrictions on America's Amazons' hairdos are "racially biased." This will no doubt lead to the "leadership" of our New Model Army's getting its panties in a twist trying to figure out how to placate the dissed Amazons who are complaining. Looking at the pictures of the proscribed fashions, the regulations seem reasonable to me. Of course, if the U.S. armed forces were reasonable organizations suited to their stated purpose, no such regulations would be necessary.

I am a regular reader who finds solace in your posts. I am a Catholic living in Marin County, California. If you know anthing about this place, you know that I am very much alone. As one friend in North Carolina puts it, I am “deep inside enemy territory.” In the interest of keeping the peace, I keep my faith and views to myself unless I know I am among kindred spirits — and thankfully, there are a few. Thoughtful debate of differing points of view? No, thank you — we’re liberals. Anything that does not cleave to the progressive orthodoxy is shouted down, mocked, ridiculed and ostracized. I am grateful for your site and others like it, for I would be still more alone without them.
One needn’t go as far as New Zealand to experience cultural decline through pizza. Not three miles from where I sit is a pizza hotspot, quite popular with families in our upper-middle-class area. There is a large playroom for children, a wide selection of craft-brewed beers, and a cool, hipster vibe. It’s run and frequented by Brazilians, which gives it instant cachet. Perhaps not coincidentally, Brazilians also make up a large portion of the nannies and childcare providers in the area, and they often bring the children in their care to this place. It’s a lively scene, parents socializing while drinking and munching pizza; kids playing; large-screen TV’s showing sports, and a brewing apparatus on full display behind glass walls.
FROM Meditations for Lent from St. Thomas Aquinas: Christ truly suffered for us, leaving us an example in anxieties, contempts, scourgings, the cross, death itself, that we might follow in His steps. If we endure for Christ our own anxieties and sufferings, we shall also reign together with Christ in the happiness that is everlasting. St. Bernard says, " How few are they, O Lord, who yearn to go after Thee, and yet there is no one that desireth not to come to Thee, for all men know that in Thy right hand are delights that will never fail. All desire to enjoy Thee, but not all to imitate Thee. They would willingly reign with Thee, but spare themselves from suffering with Thee. They have no desire to look for Thee, whom yet they desire to find."
You make interesting associations between pizza and dysfunction in the modern world so I thought a pizza chain, Hell Pizza, which has started here in New Zealand and spread elsewhere, might interest you. As a marketing tool, its reversal of what we might normally expect has a quirky attraction, yet the continuing and growing evisceration of language will not be without ill effect. The menu options include : Lust Deluxe, Lust, Greed, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, Pandemonium, Grimm, Creator, Limbo, Damned, Sinister, Underworld, Serpent. Snack Pizza with One Topping For Your Little Devil, or a Snack Pizza With One Topping and a Kids’ Drink For Your Little Devil.

One night last week, a thug fired eight to ten gunshots through a window of a house in south St. Louis. An 11-year-old boy (black) was struck and killed, though he was not the intended victim. The response by “The Law” and the “news media” was the standard mix of evasions, omissions, and ready-made phrases.
The context for that is this: That house is in an area that was occupied fifty years ago only by white men and families. I know, because I was there and walked through that area many times. A miniature golf course was just down the street. I had cousins who lived a few blocks away. In 1962, I had friends who lived one block away. They and I walked throughout that neighborhood that summer as we compared the merits of current hit songs by Pat Boone, Connie Francis, and Jimmy Dean. My boyhood doctor’s office was two blocks away. The Little Sisters of the Poor were three blocks away and had been there since 1902.
TO further mark the first anniversary of Lawrence Auster's death, I offer this excerpt from his speech, "Multiculturalism and the War Against White America," delivered at the 1994 American Renaissance conference. Everything he says is as pertinent today, twenty years later, as it was then. An excerpt: So before we recoil in horror or embarrassment from speaking explicitly about race, let us remember that America’s current politics is already a race-conscious politics, only it’s a politics based on lies about race. It’s a politics directed against whites and their civilization. And it pretends that it’s not about race at all, but that it’s race-neutral and universal. So instead of today’s race-conscious politics, which is based on lies about race, let us have a race-conscious politics based on truths about race.

Keep on contracepting, Catholics! Ugh! Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Syracuse is about to become a mosque. Particularly annoying is the tone of this article, as if having Moslems buy a church–once consecrated ground–is the same as exchanging beef for chicken or deciding to buy a blue shirt instead of a red one. We are turning into Europe at a breathtaking speed. It is all so unbearable at times.
THE story of the fatal shooting of a sailor at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia last week is a perfect storm of racial and feminist delusions. Jeffrey Tyrone Savage drove a tractor trailer onto the base last Monday and wrested a gun from the hands of a female sailor who was guarding a missile-guided destroyer, the USS Mahan. Here we see what everyone knows: an ordinary man can overpower a physically fit female sailor. Another sailor, 24-year-old Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark A. Mayo, responded and jumped between the female sailor and Savage -- s perfect demonstration of what is likely to happen when male combatants face threats to female combatants. He was shot by Savage. Mayo arguably lost his life because of affirmative action. Savage was subsequently killed by others on the destroyer. He was already a convicted felon. He pled guilty to shooting a friend in the head in 2005 and dumping his body beside a highway. He was in jail for less than six years. He was employed by a trucking company even though he had also been jailed for possession of crack cocaine, and had a valid ID card. The aunt of the man Savage shot in 2005 spoke to NBC: “When it came to Jeff and what I've heard about him, anything was possible for him to do,” said Vanessa Griffin, who lives in Chesapeake. “He would have went to any extreme to whatever he…

Lawrence Auster, in New York City in January of 2013
TODAY is the first anniversary of the death of Lawrence Auster, cherished friend, mentor and much-loved conservative writer who died of pancreatic cancer in the early morning hours of Good Friday last year. I will always vividly remember Mr. Auster’s death and his friendship. I was with him when he died and I will visit his grave today, where I will pray for his perpetual rest and for his many friends and companions. May you too have a good death. May you, dear friends, be inspired by his search for truth and his battles against great leveling forces. May you too fight for the “undying things.”
They know undying things, for they Wander where earth withers away, Though nothing troubles the great streams But light from the pale stars, and gleams From the holy orchards, where there is none But fruit that is of precious stone, Or apples of the sun and moon.
—- from “Baile and Aillinin,” William Butler Yeats
The De Profundis, from Psalm 130, is often said by Catholics in commemoration of the dead:
Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication.
If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?
But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered.
I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word.
My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord,
For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption;
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
If you would like to contribute to the purchase of Mr. Auster’s tombstone, chosen by his friends, please write to me and I will tell you where to send your donation. Below is the statue of St. Paul, with sword in hand, which is not far from Mr. Auster’s grave, at Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery in Springfield, Pennsylvania.
