The Decline of Movies Harms Our Culture and Our Communities
We need to reduce streaming and go back to the movie theaters.

Pro-Mass-Migration Movement Lies
This is a version of an argument I have described elsewhere as being among the defining moves of the pro-mass-migration movement: first, that it isn't happening, that what you are seeing with your eyes you are not seeing; second, that it is happening but it is good for you; third, that it may not be good for you but you deserve it; and finally - it doesn't matter, because it's going to happen anyway.

A Big Week for Writing
I am working on a novel. Books scattered around. Multiple drafts. Reading and re-reading.
Nothing magical about the process. It's like building a table.
I've narrowed the work down to a key transitional part and am double-checking the chronology and the flow.
Much of it involves considering the perspectives of very different characters who are operating under very different sets of rules. It has been fun to identify possible motives not commonly noted in the non-fiction books.
I hope to have the final draft by next week.
Scribble, scribble.

Victims of Communism Day
A reminder at Stephen Landry's Blog.
I wonder how much attention is given to this in the high schools.
Bach Bunch
Cultural Offering has an impressive assortment of Bach albums (I still call them that) and I will be ordering at least one today.
Truly a public service. Thanks, Kurt!
Douglas Murray on The Great Noticing
The New Criterion has one of the best articles on what is happening in Europe, and France in particular.
The essay by Douglas Murray about the warnings of Renaud Camus - the French philosopher who coined "The Great Replacement" - notes where the warnings may fail and how they may succeed.
There is a paywall to the article but if it is fairly easy to get over, I'd suggest doing so.
