Gamespot, of all places, just ran a story by Christopher Gates that made the same assertion I've been making since The Force Awakens came out, viz. that film adaptations of Timothy Zahn's legendary Thrawn Trilogy should have been the official Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.

Fifth Columnists

The war to save Western civilization stands at a turning point. For years, the West seemed fated for terminal decline into a dystopia micromanaged by SJW kommissars. #GamerGate, Sad Puppies, and the election of Donald Trump offered hope that the tide was turning against anti-civilizational madness.

Return of Kings contributor Bryce Lockwood prefers the term Weimerica: a portmanteau of Germany's prewar Weimar Republic and America, which he defines in this helpful guide.

The Necessity of Good Books

The Necessity of Good Books

Reader D.J. Schreffler writes: Here I talk about good, not just in the sense of enjoyable, but with a sound moral foundation. Stories--and ideas--are like food in many ways. They can be an acquired taste, people may differ on whether they like them or not, they can nourish (or not).…
