Culture Culture The Generation 9/11 Made And what should they know of the security state who only the security state know? I have always said that my life began on September 11, 2001. I was three years old at the time, and I was seated in front of the television in my parent’s basement. At this point, I think both towers had been hit. In any case, the news channel played the second plane’s impact over and over again, until my mother, horrified, turned it off. It is my first memory. The attacks that day changed the shape of American life, but only for those who remember them. For those…Open
One of the seldom remarked-upon things in modern life is how many things are controversial or extremely difficult, not because they’re innately hard to handle, but because a certain percentage of Americans have no morals or common sense.
That was something that came to mind when I saw this video: In the video, a Hispanic man is in the car with his family, and he gets pulled over by ICE. They have no idea why they were pulled over. When ICE comes up, he asks why he was stopped; ICE tells him that he looks like a target they’re after and asks for his ID. He gives them his ID, they look at it, realize it’s not who they’re after, tell them to have a nice day, and they go back to their cars. It was a very normal encounter. Humdrum and boring even. Why? Because the guy in the car didn’t act like a moron. Compare that to the people in Minnesota chasing ICE agents around with their cars, attacking them, smashing things up, resisting arrest, screaming abuse, etc., etc. The…Open
In 1513, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote a book on statecraft and the wielding of power called “The Prince.” That more than 500-year-old book, which has just over 100 pages, is still considered one of the best books on foreign policy and leadership ever written.
In 1513, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote a book on statecraft and the wielding of power called “The Prince .” That more than 500-year-old book, which has just over 100 pages, is still considered one of the best books on foreign policy and leadership ever written. Of course, the book is also considered DANGEROUS and scary by some people because Machiavelli was a relentlessly practical realist who understood that wielding power is not for the faint of heart. Personally, I think Machiavelli had a keen understanding of human nature and is one of the most brilliant thinkers to ever live. After you read these quotes, you will understand why. 20) “He who becomes a prince through the favor of the people should always keep on good terms with them;…Open

Locals in Santiago de Compostela say rowdy crowds of pilgrims have turned one of Christianity's oldest sacred routes into something closer to a street festival, and the city's response so far amounts to a polite suggestion to keep it down. A viral video recently posted online showed young Spanish pilgrims dancing and chanting on the final stretch of the Camino de Santiago, the centuries-old Christian pilgrimage route that ends at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. The scene, loud, exuberant, more spring break than spiritual journey, captured what residents say has become an unbearable pattern. Pilgrims arrive with trombones, tambourines, and guitars. They drink. They have picnics in historic plazas. At least one…Open

By S. David Sultzer Trump’s policies seem a likely cause of our accelerating drop in violent crime, but data collection is such a mess that it muddles the picture.
AI:Violent crime rates are plummeting across the United States, signaling that President Trump's law and order policies are yielding significant results despite ongoing challenges with inconsistent national data collection methods. While official statistics may be muddled by reporting discrepancies, the accelerating downward trend in violent incidents suggests a direct correlation between the current administration's enforcement priorities and the historic reduction in criminal activity seen across the country.Open
What emergency could possibly justify omnipresent bureaucratic hectoring? The post Something Doesn’t Look Right appeared first on The American Conservative .
Takimag Something Doesn’t Look Right What emergency could possibly justify omnipresent bureaucratic hectoring? TakiMag Photo by Rasid Necati Aslim/Anadolu via Getty Images One might think that a severely alcoholic Stalinist could never be a good writer, let alone a fine novelist, but the case of Patrick Hamilton refutes this commonsensical opinion. His novel of an English boarding house during the war, The Slaves of Solitude, published in 1947, is a beautifully observed and completely non-ideological study of the character of the residents of just such an establishment. If one had to guess the political opinions…Open
AI:Theodore Dalrymple uses Patrick Hamilton’s 1947 novel *The Slaves of Solitude* to critique the modern resurgence of pervasive bureaucratic hectoring and state paternalism. Drawing parallels between wartime rationing mandates and contemporary public service announcements—ranging from transit safety warnings to instructions on how to interact with immigration officials—Dalrymple argues that this constant nagging serves no legitimate national emergency. Instead, he suggests this behavior stems from a fundamental distrust by the governing class toward the citizenry, creating an endless cycle of reminders designed to ensure obedience and provide perpetual employment for bureaucrats who view the population as inherently incapable or…Open
On this episode of "Cuomo Crime Time: Weekend Edition," Chris Cuomo discusses the case against 21-year-old musician D4vd, legal name David Burke, charged in the killing of a 14-year-old girl whose remains were found in the ‘frunk’ of his car. Reporter Lauren Conlin, who sat through the five-day preliminary hearing, and defense attorney Joe Tacopina, who won an acquittal for musician A$AP Rocky, break down the chain of evidence, what a probable-cause finding does and doesn't mean, plus more. Then, host of the ‘Criminal Appeal’ podcast Casey Jordan joins Chris for a look back at some of the most disturbing cases either has covered, from the Yoselyn Ortega and Petit family killings to Lori Vallow and Bryan Kohberger.
