The Coming Jan. 6 Train Wreck
The January 6 Capitol clash may be the gift that keeps on giving to cynics everywhere. In the coming months, Americans will likely see jaw-dropping bureaucratic debacles, stunning abuses by federal prosecutors, and appalling bloodlust by angry Biden supporters. Perhaps the least likely outcome is that the coming train wreck will restore faith in American democracy.

An Invented Insurrection
The Biden Administration is abusing state power to create the appearance of a conspiracy to commit an insurrection on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol. The problem is the indictment they just filed with the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia—it proves there was no conspiracy.

Why Is a Billion-Dollar Pipeline Incapable of Defending Itself Against Ransomware?
What person in their right mind makes infrastructure equipment and sensitive data about it accessible from the internet?
Here Come the 70’s
It is somehow absurdly fitting that Joe Biden, who entered the United States Senate in 1973 at the age of 30, is presiding over a return to the 1970s. The Seventies are one of the few decades that the popular imagination—economic decline, decadence, environmental catastrophism, a lot of great football—gets right.
Our Latin American Future
American politics is well on its way to resembling the dysfunctional countries to its south.
The Chamber of Commerce Goes Woke
One hopes the current Chamber of Wokeness will soon see the folly of its present course, or else collapse due to its failure to accomplish anything worthwhile beyond loud (and expensive) virtue signaling.
Is Transgenderism Just a Celebrity Fad?
Maybe there is something unusual in the celebrity psyche that leaves them prone to gender dysphoria. Maybe the same impulse that drives some people to seek out fame inspires some to take up…other kinds of performance. Transgender people are grossly overrepresented in the entertainment class, and thus have a disproportionate influence on American popular culture—and, by extension, on public morality.
Something Is Rotten in the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office
The source for the Washington Post’s fake quotes also made the January 2 recording, sources say.
Begin Returning to a Normal Life

Amazon Cancels Conservative Transgender Book
Jeff Bezos will sell you Hitler’s autobiography, because he correctly trusts readers to understand that malignant book. But he will not sell you a book by the head of a major American think tank, making an argument critical of gender ideology, because … why?
The Death of a GOP Kingmaker
Limbaugh’s tremendous success—paired, perhaps, with hypocrisy—bedeviled the left. Allegiance to his legacy is likely to become a litmus test in the Republican Party in the coming months, and conservatives were swift to defend the deceased on Wednesday.
Shame on the Kinzinger Family
Rod Dreher: There’s nothing wrong with them publicly opposing his views, but to cut him off from the family because he’s against Donald Trump? What is wrong with those people?!…The idea that politics, of all things, would cause us to publicly disfellowship each other — it’s stunning, and disgusting, whether it comes from the woke Left or the Trump-cult Right.
The Racism of LucasFilm and Disney
At Lucasfilm and Disney, there is a double standard for white actors and black actors. Pointing this out doesn’t do any good…Krystina Arielle is a black woman recently hired as host of a Star Wars show, who has a history of aggressive racialist social media posting.
Covid’s Dirty Little Secret: Our Elites Have No Idea What They’re Doing
The myth of the competent elite has taken hold again, as we crawl towards our latest president begging for the impossible.
Using GameStop to Occupy Wall Street
Main Street finally stuck it to Wall Street. Bolstered by an online forum millions strong, droves of “retail investors” sent GameStop shares soaring, delivering billions in losses to hedge funds that bet they would tank. Call it the GameStop Gambit, the Reddit Rebellion, the Retail Revolt, or Occupy II—no matter the name, it’s a modern-day tale of David versus Goliath, and it signals the potency of vigilante populism.
How to Prepare for the Coming Crackdown
We need to prepare now for how we will respond when politically motivated and unpleasant events occur in our lives. An important part of that preparation comes from praying beforehand for God’s guidance, patience, and wisdom in dealing with those that literally hate us, want to publicly ridicule us, and physically injure us for our faith. Acknowledge that persecution is coming, begin praying for God’s strength to endure now.
