Trump vs DC

Why Donald Trump is an Existential Threat…

The government is an institution like any other. As such, it relies on certain understandings. There is a natural order. A chain of command. Matters of deference. It has rules, a culture, and these things sustain its “survival.” An existence separate from the Constitution that created it and defines it. Those of us outside that institution … Read more

“Millennial elitist dorks are all about screwing up burgers.”

Kurt Schlichter mourns the demise of the Ultimate ‘normal’ American food. Millennial elitist dorks are all about screwing up burgers. “Gourmet” burgers, they call them. But they are a sad simulacrum of true burgers, and a crime against nature. The menus of those precious gastropubs that spring up in the gentrified blue coastal urban centers are … Read more

One More Wack At Dartmouth and the Ruling Class Elite

Ruling ClassA recent survey of Dartmouth Students got ample attention from me here and here, but Jack Kerwick, writing at Townhall.com, combed through it here and I wanted to share his conclusion because it distills the noisy narratives down to a moment of clarity.

The Divine Right of Democrats

From DaTecguy’s blog, an excellent post on Neo-crats–my word not his. He compares the Old Democrats to the new with a little help from some other great sources…

Palin v. Elites

There are plenty of Republicans and Independents out there who have either gotten lazy and simply adopted the lefts narrative on Palin or who are actual snobby-right-wing elites protecting the moderate Republican power base. I’ve not much of a stomach for either. So if you feel like tossing out some of that left wing elitist narrative just be prepared to back it up.

He Went To Do Good And Stayed To Do Well

The saying is that "he went to Washington to do good and stayed to do well" and the first name that popped into my mind was Charlie Bass.  C-Bass epitomizes this ruling class cultural maxim.  He promised you term limits then changed his mind.  He became a Main Streeter, moderate fence sitters who abandoned principle … Read more

Read This Now

No, not my latest essay.  I’m not that arrogant.  I’m referring to (This!) by Angelo M. Codevilla at the American Spectator.  Every one should read it.  Everyone.   Here’s the opening and I will leave you to trust me or not. As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican … Read more
