There have been several posts by other bloggers that address what happens to a society when Muslims reach various percentages of the population. History confirms the dangers such accumulations of Muslims present to a previously free and peaceful society. Moreover, Muslims’ reproduction rate far exceeds that of Western non-Muslim whites, which puts time on …

Crime And The Individual Perspective
John Hinderaker asks in a plaintive tone: Is Crime Still Illegal? All of these descriptions are somewhat sanitized. We have seen the videos: gangs of twenty or more criminals will descend on a store, often blocking the street in front of the store with their vehicles, and rampage through the establishment stealing whatever …

The Subjugated City
Time was, New York City was the nation’s commercial Mecca. Businesses fought to establish themselves there. Real estate there was considered the most prestigious on Earth. The city’s harbors, its status as the Eastern Seaboard’s transportation and communications hub, and its extraordinary cultural vitality were lures that few firms could resist. Time was. …

This Warmed The Cockles Of My Spiny Little Heart
I’ve said it’s coming. I’ve told you to watch for it. Well, it’s here – and I say it’s about BLEEP!ing time! Sikh grocery store owner was told that “there ain’t nothing you can do” repeatedly and that “ayy, just let him go” as they were being robbed. The Sikhs disagreed. pic.twitter.com/ZIb5CVLMNl — Ian …

The Explosion Of Criminality
I know of two ways to create a crime wave: Outlaw many ordinary actions and undertakings; Refrain from prosecuting and punishing crimes already on the books. Can anyone suggest a third? Today, John Hinderaker comments on the crime explosion in Minnesota, with emphasis on a specific recent event: Derrick Thompson was …

The Low-Trust Society: A Case Study
I snagged the graphic below from Ace of Spades HQ. The story it tells, though four and a half years old, is an important one. It’s easy merely to allow yourself to be appalled and then pass on to other things. In today’s sociopolitical environment, that’s no longer wise. Anyone could be caught in …

Some Vigilance Committees Are Pretty Small
Yet they can still be effective: A Dollar General store in California could be on the hook for a substantial sum of money after an employee appears to have flouted the state’s monopoly on violence by going after an accused shoplifter on her own – and hitting him with her car. Remember …

Undoing The “Not Done”
I hope John Ross, the author of Unintended Consequences, won’t mind the following lengthy excerpt from his book: Joe Columbo was a well-guarded organized crime boss who operated in New York in the ’60s and ’70s. In 1972, a mob rival paid someone to murder Columbo during a New York parade. Knowing that …

Dog Bites Man?
(The full story on page A38 at bottom right, with pictures!) There are items of information to which the human mind is resistant. Take the certainty of death, for example. All but the youngest of us know this, yet very few people go through their day with even a background awareness that I …

Social Deterioration In Real Time Dept.
As long as we’re looking at signs of the Apocalypse, have another: Walmart has taken the racist step of protecting their inventory. pic.twitter.com/eOXhFE4sJP — Dane (@UltraDane) March 16, 2023 Well, yes, she’s an idiot. The cloth mask is a dead giveaway. But not only is she mumbling through a completely unnecessary mask, she’s …

Unforgivable Sin, Ineradicable Stain
Perhaps you’ve already read about this latest infamy against the well-being of the American people: The Department of Interior (DOI) initiated a rulemaking process to “establish maximum protection” for 13 million acres of land across the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. It was set aside by. Congress for resource development. Biden added …

Toward Ungovernability
Every process occurring in nature proceeds in the sense in which the sum of the entropies of all bodies taking part in the process is increased. – Max Planck Dunghills rise and castles fall. – Yankee proverb If there’s anything a public servant hates to do, it’s something for the public.” – …

It’s Not Just Here
Have a look at this report from Alice Springs, Australia: A cinema in Alice Springs has been forced to board up their front door despite being open after it was broken into five times in the last four weeks. Alice Springs Cinemas shared an image of the theatre’s boarded up front door …

Moral Principles And What Follows Their Dismissal
Fulton Sheen said it better than I ever could: I’ve known people who would argue endlessly that there are no moral absolutes: i.e., that there are no natural rights to life, liberty, or honestly acquired property. Not all of them were stupid. Neither were all of them criminally inclined. They simply couldn’t cope …

Framing Mischief
There are parts of the Old Testament that are particularly instructive, especially when applied to the behavior of governments. Here’s one: Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the LORD …

More Than Coincidence?
Maine is also a Constitutional-carry state. No permit required, though I think the state will issue you one on request, for use in other states that observe reciprocity. Considerate, eh?

TEOTWAWKI Stuff
I don’t write a great deal on this subject, but lately I’ve been getting the sense that the time has come to confront some harsh realities and some ugly possibilities. If you’re not in the mood for the subject this fine Friday morning, I promise that I’ll understand…but I am. *** The following …

Starting Small
The BLM rioters demonstrated that the “forces of order” were unwilling to enforce the law against them to maintain public order. Riots such as the ones that drove sociologist Charles Murray and other prominent conservative figures out of the halls where they were supposed to appear have reinforced that impression and emboldened the Leftists …

“Make It Stop” — ?
Just how do you plan to do that, hmm? Anthony Bradford, 19, approached a 12-year-old girl in a park on Detroit’s east side around 10 p.m. last Tuesday and demanded that she surrender her shoes. When the girl told Bradford to pound sand, he shot her. Bradford was arrested and charged with …
