At the Intersection of Faith and Culture

Irrespectively of how he in fact will govern if he becomes president, it’s no longer possible to deny that Donald Trump is indeed the anti-Establishment candidate. To get as far as he has, Trump has had to battle the Regime every step of the way.  Now that the election is less than a month off,…

On October 7, Wikileaks released more hacked DNC emails.  The latter confirm what many Republicans, independents, and Democrats have long known: Hillary Clinton, who billionaires back 20-to-one over Donald Trump, is the Bankster’s candidate, the candidate of Wall Street. Between 2013 and 2015, Clinton raked in $20 million for speeches that she delivered to Goldman…

Not long ago, National Review writer Jonah Goldberg discussed the “alt-right” with Hugh Hewitt on the latter’s talk radio show. They agreed that, at bottom, the movement upon which Hillary Clinton bestowed national recognition last month was “racist” and “supremacist.” As such, it deserved to be purged from the GOP and the conservative movement. The…

Whether there really is a sinister “alt-right,” as Hillary Clinton has insisted, is questionable. What is not questionable, though, is that there is an alt-left. This election cycle has made this clear. And the home of the alt-left is the Republican Party. The alt-left is, in some ways, domestically, a more moderate form of left-wing…

Since Hillary Clinton made her speech regarding the so-called “alt-right,” there has been much effort on the part of some media observers to define this enigmatic phenomenon. Some, however, like “conservative” pundit Jonah Goldberg, aren’t so curious. At bottom, Goldberg recently assured radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, the “alt-right” is nothing more or less…

Tim Wise is a white “antiracist” and crusader for “social justice.” Recently, in an interview that he gave to Salon, Wise brought his “expertise” on race to bear upon the Trump phenomenon. Donald Trump, he claims, exploited the “market for white resentment [.]” Trump’s supporters, Wise assures us, are “crazy, bigoted, misogynistic” and “racist.” Moreover,…

It’s true that on some of the most pressing of issues—immigration, trade, and foreign policy—Donald Trump’s “America First” positions are more align with traditional conservatism than are those of any other candidate. That is, they clash with the neoconservatism, the faux “conservatism,” that the GOP Establishment and its media apologists have promoted for decades as…

What exactly is a “NeverTrumper?” Not everyone who opposes Donald Trump’s candidacy is a NeverTrumper. A NeverTrumper, first of all, must be a Republican. Secondly, he or she must oppose Trump. For example, “libertarians” like Ron Paul refuse to endorse Trump, but this is only because they refuse to endorse any candidate who they believe…

‘Tis the season for pollsters. As pollsters ad nauseum bombard us between now and November with a dizzying array of ever-fluctuating numbers, voters would be well-served to bear in mind that for all of their idealistic Democracy talk of “the will of the voter,” they know that the latter exists only as an object to…

During a heated exchange on my Facebook wall, a “friend”—I’ll call him “DB”—remarked that while I was “cool,” the rest of those posting on my thread, including family members of mine, were “faggots.” As soon as I realized what he had said, I deleted him from my friends’ list. Soon thereafter, evidently unaware that I…
