Sentinel Of Civilization

As Western identity crumbles under the pressure of ideological abstraction and bureaucratic managerialism, Winston Churchill rises above the crowd as a lonely, embattled monument to conservative prudence. In contrast to the imperialist warmonger of historical revisionism, Churchill embodied a profound Burkean conservatism: a soldier-statesman acutely conscious of civilization’s fragility, a patriot who loved British inheritance not as static relic but as living covenant, and a thinker who grasped that ordered liberty demands both reverence for the past and wary adaptation. His life, forged in the crucibles of the Boer War, Gallipoli, and the cataclysm of WWII, testifies to a worldview that prized historical continuity over utopian rupture.

SpaceX went public this week and, in doing so, made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. In the same swoop, Musk also made over 4,000 of his employees millionaires.
Elon and his employees don’t have that money in a bank. Much of it exists in stock options. What no one can argue is that Elon created more millionaires in a shorter period of time than anyone else in history.
This should have been a moment of celebration for Americans. Musk is a citizen, and his stunning success should have been an inspiration for a generation of potential innovators. Being number one often drives competitors
The 18th-century French philosopher Voltaire is to have once remarked, “Common sense is not so common” when assessing the lack of logic and basic reasoning prevalent in France during the Age of Enlightenment. He certainly had a knack for distilling his views of humanity in that era. The dominant questions confronting society in that time were markedly different than those which the U.S. currently faces, but his stark observation can still be applied to a distinct segment of American society today.
The particular U.S. factions who support the “woke” and similar philosophies may hold that their beliefs are well-grounded in solid reasoning.
ehran: Dog Day Afternoon Redux
6 replies
Every day, the negotiations with Iran remind me more and more of that wonderful movie Dog Day Afternoon, in which a couple of crazy guys pull a botched bank robbery, hold hostages, demand preposterous concessions to surrender the hostages, and finally, while under the impression they are being escorted to a plane that will carry them to freedom, one gets shot and the other arrested. In the matter of Iran, the hostages are the millions of Iranians being held by nutters who think that if they blow up the world, the 12th Imam, who is hiding in a well (Bi'r al-Ghayba) will return to eradicate evil and create world peace.
President Barack Hussein Obama wanted a monument in Chicago, and Chicago gave him parkland, patience, tax breaks, years of disruption, and now a tower that looks less like civic memory than self-regard poured into granite.
The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public June 19 in Jackson Park, a historic South Side park once shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted's vision. The Obama Foundation calls it an “awe-inspiring 19-acre campus.”
Many Chicagoans can look at the same structure and see something colder.
The building matches the man's politics. Obama, the 44th president, sold hope in polished speeches while leaving the country more divided than he found it. My criticism of Obama has
Another new ‘trend’ emerges: Blacks

on Austin Metcalf’s grave 22 replies
I just wrote about an internet trend in which racist blacks were filming themselves violently assaulting random whites—they’re not the brightest bunch—and accusing the unwitting victims of having something to do with the jury in Karmelo Anthony’s recent trial; these assaults proved to be very popular with their social media followers.
But that was yesterday, and today is a new day, and in the case of these same blacks, they’ve already got a new trend: they’re using AI to edit themselves into a picture with Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look as though they’re urinating on it. As I understand, it started with this guy: (Snip) I am running out
Voter ID is very popular with Americans, even Democratic voters.
The numbers are clear, as CNN data analyst Harry Enten explained earlier in 2026. (X) As I wrote in Feb.:
Enten said support for voter ID has been "north of 75 percent" for years. Indeed, in 2025, it was 83 percent. I don't think you have 83 percent agreement on almost anything, so that's phenomenal support.
Democrats also largely support it, he explained, polling at 71 percent. Republicans are at 95 percent.
Even if you break it down by race, the majority still support it, with white people at 85 percent, Latinos at 82 percent, and black people at 76 percent.
The new Europe is going to take some getting used to, but at least it’s clear now what it’s going to be like. Populating it will be people who believe that they have a responsibility to carry out the decrees of the creator of the universe, and they believe that among those decrees is a mandate to kill those who do not believe in that creator unless they submit to the hegemony of his law.
And so in Italy recently, a woman was beheaded, in accord with commands found in the holy book of a rapidly growing segment of Italy’s population, and in case anyone remained determined to miss the point
The Worst of CBS’s 60 Minutes
7 replies
Ever since his firing from 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley has been on a personal press tour, bellyaching about CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss wrecking - in his belief - one of the last bastions of truth in the news media.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
From the infamous Rathergate - where former CBS News anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes used forged documents in a hit piece about President George W. Bush’s National Guard Service to correspondent Lesley Stahl dismissing President Donald Trump on Hunter Biden’s laptop – even editing out his responses – the long-running show has abandoned journalistic ethics when it comes to covering conservatives

Election Security Is Nonnegotiable
4 replies
In one of America's most technologically advanced states, California voters have grown accustomed to waiting days, and sometimes weeks, for election results. The state’s elections are a national disgrace.
Peru successfully conducted a national election involving more than 20 million voters and produced results within a single day. A single day. Yet in California, voters must wait days or weeks to learn the outcome of elections. In the world's most powerful democracy, that should be unacceptable.
These delays matter because election security is a matter of national security.
The foundation of every strong nation is trust
Spencer Pratt, the registered Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate who was heading for a runoff until loads of questionable ballots surfaced days after the election, says that the fire this week at his office was no accident.
The fire, which occurred at Pratt’s crystals company office in the Pacific Palisades on Thursday afternoon, is under investigation for “suspicious” circumstances, and Pratt himself certainly believes that it was the result of deliberate action: (X) The New York Post reported:
The Los Angeles mayoral candidate confirmed that the office, located inside the Highlands Circle complex at 1515 Palisades Dr., belonged to him.
The Los Angeles Fire Department’s Arson Unit was notified,
For those following NewsBusters’ coverage of the defamation cases brought against CNN (successful) and the Associated Press (on-going) by Navy veteran Zachary Young, one name should be familiar: Charles D. Tobin. A lawyer with Ballard Spahr, Tobin was part of the legal team that represented CNN and then the AP. As with the nature of defamation cases, both hinged on words and their interpretations. Tobin’s arguments before Florida’s First District Court of Appeal have repeatedly shown an aversion to holding the media to objective definitions.
In the CNN case, the phrase “black market” was one of the contentious points Young successfully argued were defamatory against him. In an unsuccessful April 2024

Retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell was mysteriously whisked to the hospital Sunday morning for unknown reasons, and his current condition is not publicly known.
“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” a spokesperson for McConnell told The Post.
McConnell’s spokesperson declined to give more details about the senator’s hospitalization.
The 84-year-old former Senate GOP leader has long suffered from a string of health-related issues even as he has continued to ask sharp questions during committee hearings as he serves out the remainder of his seventh term.
The Kentucky Republican was previously hospitalized in February with flu-like symptoms.
New York City was plunged into chaos as thousands of revelers flooded the streets of Midtown after the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years.
The out-of-control Knicks fans were seen smashing up a cop car outside of Madison Square Garden, while others destroyed MTA and school buses among the madness in the hours after New York’s historic win on Saturday night.
Two maniacs were seen jumping on top of the car and smashing up its front windshield , according to a video posted by FreedomNews TV. [snip] Officers say they haven’t worn this much protection in the streets of the city since COVID
Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout. The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center's grand opening.
Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part
Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of.
Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery.
It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego.
The reality, as most black people will admit, is that
Sunday on “This Week,” former President Barack Obama said the United States could not bully or bomb its way to a solution when asked about the Trump administration’s actions in Iran.
Reporter Robin Roberts asked, “You spent a lot of time wrestling with the threat of a nuclear Iran. How do you think things are being handled right now there?”
Obama said, “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place. And had worked for, for a long stretch of time, before we, the United States, pulled out of it.

coast-to-coast Somali-American support

Democratic Utah congressional candidate Liban Mohamed has mobilized a nationwide community of Somali-American supporters to drive donations for his campaign to represent Salt Lake City.
Donors with names originating from Somalia or East Africa account for around 85% of Mohamed’s unique donors, and roughly the same share of his total donations, according to FEC filings for April and May.
An identical percentage of his donors are from out of state, as the 27-year-old son of Somali immigrants has toured the country, seeking donations from areas with large Somali-American populations.
In late May, he attended a fundraising event for Somali-Americans in Minneapolis with progressive Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who endorsed him in April.
Pakistan’s prime minister has announced that the United States and Iran have reached agreement on the terms of a deal to end their conflict, with an official signing ceremony scheduled to take place in Switzerland on Friday, 19 June.
Shehbaz Sharif said both sides had declared “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” adding: “The official signing ceremony will be on Friday 19 June in Switzerland. We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict.”
A nonprofit dedicated to instituting guaranteed income programs across the country is reportedly aiming for a permanent policy in California funded by taxpayer dollars — in a state already $1.3 trillion in debt.
That, according to a report published Saturday by Fox News which examines the Economic Security Project (ESP), a nonprofit founded in 2016 and consisting of “100 entrepreneurs, activists, researchers, and philanthropists” dedicated to promoting direct cash payments to individuals.
ESP has created over 100 guaranteed income pilots across the United States, the outlet reported.
Now, a state affiliate of ESP, Economic Security California (ESC) aims to establish a permanent guaranteed income program,
Over a dozen community members demanded action against what they described as Islamophobic comments made by a Peoria Unified School District governing board member.
During a June 9 district board meeting, speakers said Janelle Bowles had shared posts on social media rejecting Islam as a religion, claimed Muslim families indoctrinate their children and suggested the religion would take over the country. Several district staff and parents asked for her resignation or the governing board to formally censure her.
Students told the board Bowles’ comments made Muslim students feel unsafe in their own schools and normalized prejudice against them.
A former White House alum under Joe Biden says the former president has returned to public life for 'financially driven' reasons.
Biden, alongside wife Jill, has made several public appearances recently, including the ex-First Lady's headline-making promotional tour for her new memoir.
However, one ex-Biden staffer said that the Bidens are doing all of this out of obligation. He's not getting any younger, he's ill, and it feels financially driven,' the anonymous source told New York Magazine.
One of the main financial needs is money to potentially build his own presidential library as fundraising has been deemed a total failure so far.
The chairman of The Biden Foundation claims things will
