Catcher in the Rye is a dreadfully banal and blasphemous book that forces the reader inside the head of a teenage loser as he descends lower into popular culture oblivion. We might even say that the book has shaped or even defined pop culture and popularity itself. Holden Caulfield was a popular person at his prep school in every modern way – i.e., he smoked, he drank, he cursed, he used Christ’s name in vain fluently, he mingled comfortably with alpha males and attractive girls, he had wealthy, indifferent parents and a suave older brother…

hen Buttigieg mentioned that the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Chevy Silverado EV both start at under $40k. He was right about the Ford at the time he made that remark, but the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning starts at just under $50k (it flirts with $100k when fully loaded), and the Chevy Silverado EV still isn’t on the market. Mayor Pete quoted the price of a truck that didn’t exist yet and still isn’t available to buy a year later. If you go to Chevy’s website, you won’t even find an estimated price for the Silverado EV, raising doubt about a starting price anywhere near $40k.

On June 27, a local branch of the Proud Boys showed up at what was supposed to be a Drag Queen Story Hour at the Virginia M. Tutt branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library. WVPE, the local NPR affiliate, gave a tendentious account of the incident which incorporated all of the usual epithets about “the growth of hateful right-wing rhetoric against LGBTQ people” at the hands of the Proud Boys “and other far-right groups” which “have turned up at Pride parades and events like drag queen story hours.”

The Jews rejected the fundamental basis of the universe when they rejected the Messiah because as St. John writes about the Son of God at the beginning of the fourth Gospel, “In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.” In rejecting the Second Person of the Trinity, the Jews reject order and redemption. The Jews reject their Messiah and turn instead to anti-Christian revolutionary movements. If Logos is indeed the fundamental basis of the universe, then the logos of practical reason known as morality should determine human behavior. This truth was lost on the Jews who ran the Manhattan Project, because the Jewish revolutionary spirit, manifested as Communism at the time, was in fundamental rebellion against the order of the universe that Werner Heisenberg discovered by reading Greek to determine whether to create an atomic bomb.

Then sensing that an even more radical form of damage control was necessary, Gould asked for unanimous support from parliament to expunge the embarrassing incident permanently from the official record, prompting me to tweet “Nazi Gate goes down the memory hole. Has MP Karina (“As a descendent of Jewish Holocaust survivors”) Gould been reading George Orwell? Does she think pretending that the standing ovation for the Nazi never happened will blot it from everyone’s memory?”

The main vehicle for the Oppenheimers’ assimilation into American culture was the Ethical Culture Society, a “non-religion” which was founded in 1876 by Felix Adler as an outgrowth of American Reform Judaism. Adler’s “non-religion,” according to Bird, would “have a powerful influence in the molding of Robert Oppenheimer’s psyche, both emotionally and intellectually.”

So, the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ at the hands of the Jews comes down to a difference of opinion on how to “renew the Jewish people in their relationship with God.” The Pharisees felt that it was better for one man to die than for the people to perish, and who are we to say that killing Christ wasn’t seen as a good thing in their eyes? And if the testimony of John’s Gospel on the Pharisees is inaccurate, why should we believe John’s claim that Christ rose from the dead after John and St. Peter contemplated the empty tomb? Didn’t the Pharisees come up with a much more plausible explanation when they claimed that Jesus’s followers stole His body?

Most of the poems with gloomy references to God or Christ are found in Borges later books, while most of his poems with positive allusions are found in his early work. This seems to indicate a trajectory and does not bode well for Borges because, as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and E.M. Jones have pointed out time and again, what is in the soul of an artist will be bared, explicitly or implicitly, in his work.

In May of 2023, the Biden Administration released the first U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, a document which President Biden claimed “represents the most ambitious and comprehensive U.S. government-led effort to fight antisemitism in American history.” The historical significance of this document diminished considerably in light of the legal disclaimer which preceded its content.

I interviewed her in 2011 and immediately realized that she was vulnerable. I was writing a humorous piece about her fake search for Mr. Right at a corny Irish matchmaking festival so it wasn’t an in-depth interview, but I noticed that she was unable to set boundaries when men approached her. I was careful in the resulting article not to make her look like a fool, and the photographer working with me was equally aware of the need to treat her gently.

Henry James felt that Hawthorne never stopped being “an intense American,” who viewed Europe “from the standpoint of that little clod of Western earth which he carried about with him as the good Mohammedan carries the strip of carpet on which he kneels down to face towards Mecca.” James describes the last years of Hawthorne’s life as “a period of dejection” which differed dramatically from “seven years of the happiest opportunities he was to have known” which corresponded to the years preceding his return.  Hawthorne’s son-in-law George Lathrop claimed that “When he found himself once more on the old ground, with the old struggle for subsistence staring him in the face again, it is not difficult to conceive how a certain degree of depression would follow.”

Jerry Springer’s sole sibling (Evelyn) and parents emigrated to the U.S. in 1949. As Springer often remarks, “I left England at age five when I found out I couldn’t be king.” And therein lies a more revealing truth about Springer’s character than of Bob Hope’s, from whose repertoire he borrowed. With the assistance of a New York-based Jewish refugee foundation the family settled in a tightly-knit Jewish neighborhood in Queens, New York, where Springer’s aunt resided. Richard Springer made stuffed animals and peddled them on street corners, with Jerry often in tow. Margot worked as a bank clerk. Jerry’s mother laid down firm rules governing the household. ”It was always work before play,” she recalls. “‘I guess it’s the German in us.’”

As I said at the time, allowing a performance of The Vagina Monologues was like “saying that it’s okay to toss the psychic and moral equivalent of a hand grenade into a crowded classroom as long as there is a panel discussion afterward.”

Following Father Malloy’s prescription, a discussion was announced after the performance ended and the students headed toward the exits. The lady who did her best to lead that discussion was Lindsey Horvath.

In the remoter past, the name Rose Hawthorne conjured up an unwritten chapter in The Angel and the Machine, the book that grew out of the doctoral dissertation I wrote on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s rational psychology during the winter and spring of 1978. Hawthorne was an acute observer and a man of exquisite sensibility whose life was dedicated to the pursuit of beauty in what he observed and what he created. I had to wait almost 50 years to finish the book I started in the 1970s because I didn’t know then that the artist could often portray what the philosopher cannot explain and could not know how that category of thought explicated Hawthorne’s life until I had written The Dangers of Beauty.

Although it is easy to understand the mistake of ignoring divine attributes that appear negative to modern man, it is not so easy to understand the mistake of downplaying the divine beauty. Maybe it is because beauty is a transcendental that surpasses human reason unaided by supernatural grace. In other words, it is hard to imagine. Fortunately, E. Michael Jones has contributed greatly to the consideration of the divine beauty and how crucial it is to Christian life in his book The Dangers of Beauty: The Conflict Between Mimesis and Concupiscence in the Fine Arts.

Jews invented Islam. That’s why it calls for Tasleem, meaning surrender, and penalizes anyone who leaves the religion. Islam was designed as a devotional army serving the ultimate Jewish goal of invading the great Persian empire. Much later the Jews also invented the myth of king Cyrus saving them or the myth of Purim in order to self-aggrandize and back date themselves as an ancient people, which they are not…

Good luck to you, Leo Grande might easily be subtitled, “A Card-carrying Feminist’s Tribute to Wilhelm Reich.” As readers of Culture Wars will know only too well, Reich believed that patriarchal religion caused mankind’s hitherto healthy attitude to sex to degenerate into that combination of fear and frustration by which it is caricatured to this very day. All that sublimated sexual energy got transformed, by a kind of reverse alchemy, into the great evils of Christian culture – respect for parental authority, chastity, marriage, love of family, love of country – more commonly known as fascism.

When the spring rains melt the winter snows in South Bend, Indiana the St. Joseph River overflows its banks and becomes dangerous enough to kill you. On one of those spring days, I was walking across the LaSalle Street bridge when a black woman approached me from the west bank and asked if had had a cell phone. When I told her I didn’t, she replied by saying, “I need to call my momma because I’m gonna kill myself.” At that point, she hopped over the railing and stood on the ledge over the raging St. Joe River 40 feet below preparing to jump…

Jewish social scientists throughout the post-war period succeeded in pathologizing America’s Christian subconscious as a wellspring of “bigotry.” Lear and his team of writers likewise brought this distorted rendering of the American psyche to life in the Archie Bunker persona, a man whom the celebrated producer describes as “a fearful human being” who “was afraid of tomorrow. He was lamenting the passing of time,” Lear says of the Bunker pater, “because it’s always easier to stay with what is familiar and not move forward.”

And to be honest, this sort of approach, which is contained in the book, is very much in the insulting style of the testimony of Vrba himself. He is portrayed as the great hero putting the counsel for the defense, Douglas Christie, in his place. But no-one reading the transcript could ever come to such a conclusion. Vrba is obstructive and disrespectful from the very beginning of his testimony. True to his reputation, he regularly insulted Christie and the defendant. In fact, Christie at one point politely struck back by suggesting that Vrba must have used trick memory techniques to keep his lies straight. Vrba flashed back, “Should I bring you six million bodies here that are the proof?”

During her monologue, Williams stated more than once that “abortion is birth” without being questioned, much less contradicted, by her equally sexually ambiguous interlocutor. Before long, it became clear that the connection between abortion and transgenderism existed in her mind alone, which is why she was so essential to this discussion. Crippled by guilt after killing two of her children, Williams became obsessed with exonerating herself by becoming an avid promoter of abortion. Then, as if to make the further commission of that sin impossible, Ms. Williams decided to become a man, as the moustache on her otherwise feminine face testifies.…

Yet there is more here than meets the habitually adoring eye. Decades before the notion of “transgenderism” or same sex marriage emerged, Lewis’ unpredictable, crass, and effeminate character, dubbed “the Kid” or “the Idiot,” pushed the boundaries of acceptance by promoting a marked irreverence for established authority and mores; his unconventional schtick involved parodying curbed intellectual development, dressing in drag, and femininely catering on stage (or camera) to longtime comedy teammate Dean Martin…

Wait, didn’t the Russians liberate Auschwitz? The only thing which explains why the Attorney General is in a country half-way around the world, where he is acting as a surrogate secretary of state, is Jewish solidarity and Jewish dedication to spreading their revolutionary spirit at the expense of the natives, who, in the case of the Ukraine, had their own bitter experiences with Jews like Lazar Kaganovich, who starved millions of Ukrainians to death during the 1930s…

When Librium (chlordiazepoxide) came to market, Arthur Sackler saw to it that the public image of Librium was that it was a new, safe, nonaddictive replacement for the older and admittedly more dangerous barbiturates. Early concerns about the dangers of Librium and Valium (diazepam) were waived away; the problem was with the individuals using them, the drugs themselves were perfectly safe.

Beset with a moment of cognitive dissonance when confronted with a crowd of sexually liberated potheads of the sort he had ridiculed in 1969, Haggard opined that his “antihippie anthem,” to use Kuiper’s phrase, “don’t mean what it used to”4 and sang it anyway.

Merrick Garland has turned the FBI into the long arm of Jewish vengeance which gets deployed against anyone who has the temerity to challenge the legitimacy of the Jewish sacrament of abortion, but no one was willing to bring up his Jewishness as relevant to the discussion, even though Hawley had no hesitation in identifying Catholic prolifers as the victims. The subsequent equation—Catholics vs. FBI agents—was lopsided and ultimately mystifying—the FBI has long been a career path for Catholics—b

 In the mind of the clerics who used Vatican II concepts like synodality to make a separate peace with the modern world, the Volkswartbund typified the Church’s failed attempt to use condemnation to uphold the moral and social order. Moral reform based on authority was supposed to take a back seat to the “medicine of mercy” in reforming the culture even if no one knew how this applied to Jews promoting pornography. For the Catholic Church, which was worried about losing more of the faithful, Calmes’s Cologne-based and often-mocked legion of decency had become an unwanted burden…

…No they are not brothers and sisters in the faith. The Jews, at large, rejected and still reject Jesus Christ as God and Savior. The whole religion of the Jews, whether Reformed, Hasidic or otherwise, is based on a rejection of Jesus Christ, as their core belief. So how can the Jews be “our brothers and sisters in faith” if they reject the very essence of the Christian faith? The only Jews today who are our brothers and sisters in faith are the Messianic Jews who have accepted Christ, but even then, most Messianic Jews are Protestant…

   In one of his first interviews with the FBI, Bruce Love admitted that he actually thinks that Houck’s intention in pushing him was to protect his son because of what Love calls Houck’s “warped sense of reality.” By Love’s own admission, he as the accuser gives testimony that Houck’s intention was not to intimidate or prevent access to the clinic. This point is critical because in FACE Act charges, the government must prove this motive. After listening to the government’s argument, and hearing Love’s testimony, which bore no semblance of reality compared to what was seen on video, it must be asked, who here has the warped sense of reality?
