A+ list rapper Kanye West coming out as a Trump supporter perfectly demonstrates the crucial importance of retaking cultural ground, which Conservatives have been ignoring for decades.

Bringing Shame Back

Bringing Shame Back

While I expected two general types of pushback against my recent post that was (only tangentially) related to "This Is me", the volume and lockstep uniformity of those knee-jerk responses surprised me.

Culture War Field Manual

Reader Heian-kyo Dreams comments: I don't watch much tv, but probably end up using some of the products with distasteful ads. I don't buy many Trad pub books, but I do buy a ton of indie authors (like you.) I'm not sure how else to contribute to declowing the world other…

RIP Art Bell

RIP Art Bell

A weekend news item that may have gotten lost in the shuffle with all the stories about Syria, Russia, and Trump's lawyer was the death of legendary talk radio host Art Bell. Art had been mostly retired for over a decade. My audience tends to skew younger, so it's unclear…
