This one is particularly piercing: The Six Flags CEO is having to explain the decision to raise prices and eliminate discounts at the company’s parks, in light of the emerging fact that attendance is down by 22% since the decision was made. He said in a statement that the price increase was a …

What Self-Imposed Blindness Looks Like
I can’t help it; I have a scientist’s preference for data over opinions. I have another preference as well: for life, limb, and property. So I respect data about crime. In particular, I respect data about where the majority of crimes against person and property are committed. I avoid those districts to the extent …

Presented With Brief Comment
Would any Gentle Reader care to suggest that it’s white African migrants perpetrating these horrors on Italy and Europe generally?

Peak Absurdity Chronicles
Happy Summer Solstice Day. Have a mood lightener, just the sort of thing to remind you that it’s not you who’s crazy: An anti-police Black Lives Matter protester who was hit by a car in a horrific accident as she and fellow Summer of Love activists blocked a freeway is now suing those …

Concerning Yesterday’s Tirade
A great many well-meaning persons in the Right stoutly resist the suggestion that the only guaranteed way to end racial strife is to separate the races. I know a number of such persons. One for whom I have great respect commented here just yesterday evening. It’s the most commonly expressed sentiment among Americans of …

Reality, Not Realities
Perhaps the reason for our current plague of cognitive dissonance lies in all the “multiverse” movies and TV shows we’ve been watching. Ultimately it won’t matter. In this reality, where the speed of light in a vacuum is a generous 299,792,458 meters per second and Planck’s Constant is a steady 6.62607×10-34 Joule-seconds, the facts …

Do You Really Think…
…that we can share a country with savages like these? The U.S. Marshals Service arrested three men accused of fatally beating a 17-year-old high Ethan Liming outside the high school founded by LeBron James. The three men beat Liming to death and later bragged about it to friends. The murderers: …

But Their Lives Matter!
Don’t they? It’s been screamed at us relentlessly and reinforced with lots of “peaceful” rioting and destruction. It must be true! Well, possibly. But not to them: Metro Police said they are looking for a man who allegedly shot and seriously injured his girlfriend Friday. The victim told police that Friday, …

Mourn The Death Of The “Sports Hero”
Time was, we were told they were men: Yankees designated hitter Josh Donaldson made a comment to Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson that Anderson contends was “racist.” The benches cleared, tempers were short, and the controversy is still raging; Major League Baseball officials have begun an investigation. Oh my! So words …

Roe And Race
While we’re on the subject of Roe v. Wade — we are, aren’t we? – consider the reaction of this crowd of “medical professionals” to a simple question from an unidentified person: Phew. It gets awfully quiet. This man knows how to silence a protest. pic.twitter.com/LeGQ3DToHO — Abigail Dodds (@abigaildodds) May 5, 2022 …

Before I Proceed…
…to the other business of the day, I must recommend this article to my Gentle Readers. It concerns a minor matter with which you might even be personally acquainted: broken ice-cream machines at McDonald’s: When you order ice cream, you don’t want to hear “We’re out” or “It’s broken,” yet it has been …

Fidelity To “The Narrative”
A reposted Jack Cashill article (the original American Thinker posting is apparently inaccessible) on the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin episode illuminates exactly where the media stands on “facts” and “truth.” Cashill was offended by the appearance of a deceitful Trayvon Martin canonization piece, on February 26 of this year, the ten-year anniversary of …

When Systematic Analysis Is No Longer Necessary
(I chose the title because I’ve grown weary of titles that include “masks dropping.”) When the enemy shows you his motivations in broad daylight, you no longer need to analyze about them. This is especially the case when his deeds are a perfect match to his words. The media, in covering the …

The Eternal Exculpation Effort
I am frequently bemused by the extent to which the bien-pensants will go in their determination to avert their eyes – and ours – from verifiable facts. Some of them seem sincerely to believe that their wishes can remake reality. Others, of course, are simply practicing the tactics of obfuscation and deflection that have …

From The “Je M’accuse” Files
For some years, I fought back against being called a racist. For some time after that, I simply ignored it. Today I embrace the characterization. I maintain that there’s enough evidence to do so. Evidence such as this report from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial: George Floyd’s nephew, Cortez Rice, has issued veiled …

Homicide Rates: Racism Or…Something Else?
Jared Taylor has the numbers, courtesy of the FBI – and virtually no platform but BitChute is willing to host his presentation: BitChute embedding powered by embed.tube The numbers tell quite a different tale from that purveyed by our mainstream media.

Systemic Claptrap
[NOTE: This will be a linkless piece. Either you’ve been keeping up with the news, in particular the developments in left-wing agitprop, or you haven’t. The former group will know what I’m talking about and therefore will need no links. The latter might as well play Solitaire. — FWP] Among the highest contributions …

“A Decent Place To Live”
Fairly recently, a dear friend became troubled about the way his neighborhood was changing. He was reluctant to speak of it at first, because it involved the anthropological and sociological third rail of American public discourse: race. Several homes near him had recently been purchased by Negro families. After that, several more homes in …

Do Facts Matter Part 2
In response to the first episode in this tragedy, reader Clayton commented thus: “Respectable, law-abiding Negroes could solve the problem by bringing their unruly racial brethren to heel.” Which is why desegregation and the end of Redlining was a disaster for Blacks: much like the US and EU strip-mining anyone with talent …

Do Facts Matter?
This appears to be the question of our time – the supreme question of our time. What does it mean to be oppressed? According to the dictionary, to oppress means “to burden with cruel or unjust impositions or restraints; subject to a burdensome or harsh exercise of authority or power.” If we use …
