Dystopian novel? No! Instruction manual? Yes! Those two questions are about George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). The two answers are from the kind of people Orwell was satirizing in the novel. Britain presently has a government full of people like that. It’s the Labour government of the gray grasper Keir Starmer, the Black buffoon David […]

In leftist practice, Blacks are privileged over Whites and women are privileged over men. And so, in a leftist system, you get a hierarchy of racial and sexual […]
A specter is haunting America — the specter of a vanished predator.[1] More precisely, it’s haunting the prairies west of the Mississippi, the home of a remarkable antelope called the pronghorn, Antilocapra americana.
