MACDONALD: Evil

August 6, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Moral relativism, relative secularism, and the idea that good and evil are subjective are always a pretext for evil behavior. It is, after all, much easier to excuse evil if you don’t believe in it. If the ends justify the means, then othering people and encouraging your base to do evil for you with violent … Read more

Useful Idiot – Part IV … The Correct Pairing Is Reagan and Brezhnev

June 24, 2024 Ed Mosca

So bitter-clingers if you read one great literary work … and I encourage you to read as many great literary works as possible, but if you read only one … make it my award-winning four-part (including this) series on Terry Roy playing the role of useful idiot for the Woke-Communists.

Thank God It’s Good Friday

March 29, 2024 Aaron Warner

So little of what we see in the news these days can be called good. In fact, one has to look pretty hard to find it. Few would argue the chaos in New Hampshire (exploding violent attacks, joblessness, high cost of living, reckless politicians, etc.) is reflective of the larger global chaos. The evidence and … Read more

Rep Damond Ford: Heaven Is Only For Communists

March 29, 2024March 27, 2024 Ed Mosca

I previously posted about Manchester ~~Democrat~~Woke-Communist Rep Damond Ford’s problem (and “problem” may understate) with Israel: State Rep Damond Ford … You CANNOT Be Progressive And Pro-Israel and about how the “honest history” he wants taught in schools is actually a Woke-Communist rewrite of history: State Rep Damond Ford Doesn’t Know Much About History.

At Best “Collateral Damage” … At Worst Intentional

February 26, 2024 Ed Mosca

The young lady murdered by an illegal in Georgia: to the globalists/corporatists, she was “collateral damage,” the price that unfortunately has to be paid to get the ruling elites the workers they demand. To the evil people running the Biden Regime and supporting the Biden Regime, she was nothing.

What Do Evil A.I. and Members of Congress Have in Common?

January 28, 2024January 28, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Whenever anyone talks about Artificial Intelligence, even the least capable pop-culture dullard will conjure an image of Skynet from the Terminator series – or something similar. Joshua from War Games, perhaps. None of this stops anyone from trying (we’re an arrogant lot), including Google’s Anthropic, which created an evil AI.

Normalizing Evil

November 9, 2023 John Klar

Sam Smith’s Grammy Awards tribute to Satan reflected the acceptability in the current culture of what would be unthinkable even in jest in the past: glorifying the hellish. The normalization of Satanism as a respectable belief system is just one of many signs of these seemingly End Times.

Slippery Slope of Transgenderism Hot Air FI

States Stripping Parental Rights, Leftists Scream “BOOK BANNERS”, Ancient Belief, the ALA And MORE! – Stack of Stuff #46

May 13, 2023 Skip

Yep, I have too many of these kinds of stories just sitting around in tabs and I have to start unloading them. Mostly for my own benefit as we have become, as Steve says, self-referential. With over 50,000 posts since 2006, we’ve probably written something about almost everything that bubbles up in the Venn Diagram … Read more

Ivan Ilyin (1883-1954) as portrayed in 1921 by Mikhail Nesterov in the Russian Museum in St Petersburg

What to Do about the Evil in Our Midst?

October 7, 2022 Op-Ed

Ivan Ilyin’s “On Resistance to Evil by Force” (trans by K Benois) was first published in Berlin in 1925. The author makes many philosophical points, some of which depend on the divine origin of the New Testament, but I will cherry-pick for points that may help us figure out what to do about the evil in our midst right now.

The Evil of Transgenderism

September 21, 2022September 21, 2022 Op-Ed

Since the Dobbs decision began the restoration of federalism by holding “EACH STATE” shall decide its right to life (abortion) policy, the most important social issue confronting our society is the aggressive promotion of the evil of transgenderism.

To Save Our Students, Let’s Debate Everything That Contributes to School Shootings.

June 9, 2022 Peter Lemiska

Since America’s inception, guns have been a part of our culture. Our inherent right to self-defense is enshrined in our Constitution. But in recent years, senseless mass killings by deranged gunmen have become almost a commonplace occurrence. As a result, many Americans have come to see firearms as nothing more than instruments of mass destruction, … Read more

Dark Thoughts in the Small Hours

February 16, 2025May 25, 2022 NITZAKHON

Many years ago I read an article called The Three Conjectures, at PJMedia, the Belmont Club. It’s about radical Islamists getting nuclear weapons and it did not paint a comforting picture. I’ve struggled for years with that essay, desperate to find the flaw in the argument. Thus far I have not. I had a similar … Read more

A Quick Post: Normalizing Heart Attacks

November 17, 2021 NITZAKHON

In Potassium Metathorinate I described a sci-fi story with the plot device of a hallucinogenic additive in the population’s food that made them compliant, obedient, and lacking of any curiosity about anything contrary to The Narrative presented by the government.

TO THE WOMEN OUT THERE!

October 13, 2021 Op-Ed

This letter is to the women out there. I need to ask you something. Are you feeling it? That lump of anxiety in your chest suspended over a hollow feeling in your stomach. Something is happening, and our children are in danger.

Ben Shapiro: Justice is good. Social Justice is bad. Here’s why

May 30, 2021May 30, 2021 Skip

Justice is about the individual. Social Justice is only about Group Justice where YOU are held responsible for anyone else that the Left believes to be in “your group.” Ben Shapiro nails this, and a LOT of things tied to it, in this short 3-minute video.

Speak Truth Firmly to Evil

March 3, 2021

America has been the anchor of western civilization for the last century. Today we no longer articulate our values and principles. We listen constantly to leftist crap. This is the reason we have drifted so far off our moorings. It is time to stand for something.

Conformity or Morality … How Should We Think

January 3, 2021January 3, 2021

Conflict with the Middle East has generated literature about the “clash of civilizations.” Ostensibly this would be between liberal western civilization and Islam in particular. The war on terror, plus mass emigration from the Middle East to Europe is adding urgency to the concern.

America at the crossroads

December 11, 2020 Skip

America is at a very dark and dangerous crossroads, and the path we choose will determine the very future of this nation. Over the past decades, we have seen one “victim class” after another become the tyrants who will tell us what to think, what to say, and how we must spend our money.

Why Is Remembering Important?

February 5, 2020

Remembering endows history with meaning and significance. George Berkeley wrote in about 1710, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Certainly, this is a philosophical thought experiment. It raises questions about observation and perception.

The Rage of the Democrats

January 23, 2020 Amil Imani

What underlies the rage of the Democrat Party and of the leftist Democrat Establishment vis-a-vis President Donald Trump? Over forty years ago, during my high school years in Iran, my father and I had a conversation. He was an avid Republican, even though he lived on the other side of the world. Right before I … Read more
