The other day I posted about a recent Michael Anton essay broaching the increasingly relevant, always fraught question of revolution, in our age of hostile government. Forgive me quoting myself: Anton makes his most important point here: It’s that they [“conservatives”] believe—against the Founders, and against all experience of history—that once implemented, it can never beContinue reading “More Revolting Talk”

A Washington citizen is raising the alarm about support beams for a bridge over the Columbia warping and bending. Washington state was home to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that failed spectacularly under high winds shortly after opening in 1940. This article caught my attention because on a couple of different nights last week I noticedContinue reading “Bridge Trouble”

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…it is the right of the people to alter or toContinue reading “The Revolution Will Be Immanentized”

Street takeovers are common now in Portland, a Black! and brown thing that has migrated north out of California, drawing enthusiasts from the Willamette Valley’s surplus of white yahoos. Something like hip hop that way. They’ve been a deadly problem here since the BLM insurrection of 2020 ushered in Portland’s Racial Reckoning® and the consequentContinue reading “Where the Rubber Meets the Road”

She might be beautiful, mixed race with delicate Caucasian features on a small face framed in ringlets trickling out of her tied-up hair.
