Falling Down

I don't like to use the word "God" because it' overused in the United States ... it's been politicized and has become an attack--like if you don't believe in Jesus, you're not one of us! -Falling Down director Joel Schumacher Bar none, the movie that readers ask me to review…

Archbishop Upholds Catholic Doctrine

That headline shouldn't be newsworthy, but here in Clown World, it's a bombshell. Archbishop of the U.S. military services Timothy Broglio has issued a statement against forcing American service members to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, saying that “no one should be forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it would…

Conservatives rightly take a lot of flak for endlessly whining about the culture war while persistently failing to fight on the cultural level. At best, the Death Cult's notional opponents fund movies no one but National Review subscribers will see or launch alt tech platforms that are either garbage, fed…

Pop Culture Time Slippage

Pop Culture Time Slippage

If you want to know how highly the enemy values a specific asset, watch his response to even the mildest action directed against it. School board meetings are some of the last places where citizens can openly and publicly interact with officials. The secrecy of elections, for instance, makes the…

The Game

The Game

From time to time I like to revisit movies from around Culture Ground Zero. Since Western pop culture is now fully in the grip of a fanatical cult bent on memory holing the past, it's beneficial to look back on what we've lost. One of the most tragic casualties of…

Stolen Moral Authority

Frequent readers of this blog are aware of what I call the Witch Test. For our purposes, a witch is a shill for the Death Cult who uses Christian teaching as a convenient stick to beat Christians. Half the time they claim to be Christian themselves. The Witch Test calls…
