Regicide — the killing of a king — is at the heart of chess. But most people don’t know that. When a victorious player announces “Checkmate,” he’s really saying “Shah mat,” which traditionally means “The king is dead” in Persian. Slater self-slaughters The Trotskyist libertarian Tom Slater has recently got it the other way around. […]
Malignant tumors. In the modern West, there are two competing ways of responding to them. The first way is practised by leftists. It involves praising tumors, telling them what a vital and valued contribution they make to the body, and refusing to let tumors be criticized in any way. For example, if lung cancer or […]
Giftzwerg is a wonderful little German word.

Few people know the answer and that’s just the way leftists like it, because the answer derails one of their central projects.

You can see this principle at work in a “national billboard campaign” being run by one of Britain’s many […]
Little things say a lot. And what they say, in our fallen world, is often very bad. Take the little lapel-badge sported in recent months by the British politician Grant Shapps (born 1968).
