Black History Month: George S. Schuyler
By
Jack Kerwick
It’s “Black History Month” again. And this means that it is an occasion to attend to matters that have become impossible to discuss in polite society. For example, odds are that relatively few people are aware of the name of George S. Schuyler. Born in upstate New York in 1895, Schuyler was a black American…
More on “S–HOLE-GATE”: A Trump Critic Answers My Questions–And I Respond
By
Jack Kerwick
As I write this, it has been nearly 24 hours since the President has denied making his “s-hole” comment regarding countries with shockingly low quality of life. Indeed, the only person in a room full of several people who claims to have heard the President make this remark is a Democrat, Dick Durban, who has…
Some Questions for Those Waxing Indignant over Trump’s Alleged “S-Hole” Comment
By
Jack Kerwick
Although the President denies it, as of Thursday night, it was reported that while in talks with Congressional representatives over our country’s immigration mess, Donald Trump referred to places like Haiti, El Salvador, and at least some of Africa as “s-hole” countries. All too predictably, his nemeses in the media went ballistic, charging the President—again,…
Hollywood: The Most Fake of Fake Virtue
By
Jack Kerwick
Mercifully, the Golden Globes have come and gone. And it was a perhaps the most ostentatious display of self-righteousness, hypocrisy, dishonesty, and moral cowardice that our generation has supplied to date. At a time when moral exhibitionism has become as common as the air that we breathe, particularly in Hollywood, this is really saying something.…
The Death Penalty: In Defense of Justice II
By
Jack Kerwick
In response to my recent article, “Capital Punishment: A Defense of Justice,” I elicited the following objection: It is contradictory for those (like me) who claim to believe in “limited government” to grant government the power to execute its own citizens, for (presumably) a government with such power is Big Government, and the latter, being…
The Death Penalty: In Defense of Justice
By
Jack Kerwick
Not all that long ago, conservatives, including and especially conservative intellectuals, argued vigorously in favor of the death penalty. However, along with other several other moral-cultural issues in which they once took an interest, issues like abortion, euthanasia, and “gay marriage,” to note but a few, the topic of the death penalty is one in…
Caught on Video: Radical Professor Calls for Students to “Abolish” the System
By
Jack Kerwick
What I have frequently referred to as the Academic-Industrial-Complex (AIC) really is an organ of sorts of what I call the Racism-Industrial-Complex (RIC). One of the more recent illustrations of this point is Albert Ponce, a professor of political science at Diablo Valley College. One of Ponce’s lectures was recently video recorded by one of…
1 A.T. (After Trump): The Culture
By
Jack Kerwick
In a previous article, I showed that Donald Trump’s first year as President has been marked by a series of exceptional economic achievements. Yet it isn’t only with respect to the economy that our 45th President deserves much gratitude from self-proclaimed patriots, traditional garden-variety Americans who’ve expressed abhorrence of the country’s lurch toward radical leftism.…
1 A.T. (After Trump): The Economy
By
Jack Kerwick
It is over a year now since Donald Trump was elected to the Presidency of the United States. Anyone who still doubts that our 45th President is anything less than a world-historic figure, a truly unique individual, and a president unprecedented for his effectiveness is not to be taken seriously. Trump’s chronic critics, the anti-Trumpers…
