Anna Fedorova, April, music

Once again, April Fool’s Day caught me unprepared. But! Here’s a serious but cool interlude for the musically-minded.

Anna Fedorova is coming to South Carolina! Two dates and soon, this month. Click HER SITE for the Calendar. She’ll be in Utah later in the year.

Possibly the best Rachmaninoff pianist in the world. Mean Tchaikovsky too.

The easy on the eyes part is purely coincidental.

Happy April!

Freedom Prepper, news, prepping, Samantha Biggers

Greetings, prepper peeps. Some good news and a whisper.

The rumor first: something may be happening with Freedom Prepper (emphasis on “something” and “may be”). This would be something beyond my posting a new Venezuela video.

The great news! My friend, Samantha Biggers, one of the best prepper writers out there, has a new (to me) site:

Samantha Biggers

It’s a place for better ideas about all things prepping, which, now, is more important than ever. Browse around. She even has a link to my craziness.

From Dawn to Decadence

culture, decline, men

I’m not sure why the following made me think of Jacques Barzun’s book, which you should read, but they did. Hmmm.

AJ breaks down the ongoing love affair between the Alt-Left (especially big tech)and the pedo freaks.

A new report about a convicted pedophile from Houston Texas who participated in a “drag queen story hour” with children was censored from YouTube and the channel that posted it was deleted. Alex breaks down how drag queens are being worshiped by the left.

Of course, big tech is banning and deleting like mad.

Over on the “normal” side, the WSJ chronicles the decline of men’s professional fashion.

Jos. A. Bank, a chain known for selling suits to the corporate masses, began airing a television commercial earlier this month that features men in sport coats, khakis and jeans.

With fewer men buying suits, retailers of tailored clothing are trying to adapt to a world in which it is no longer unthinkable to wear Lululemon pants to the office.

“We want to send the message that we can help with more than just suits,” said Mary Beth Blake, Jos. A. Bank’s brand president.

The chain, one of the largest suit sellers along with its sibling Men’s Wearhouse, both owned by Tailored Brands Inc., TLRD -1.79% is starting to feel the bite as more companies give their blessing to casual attire. In recent weeks, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Target Corp. joined the parade of companies that have relaxed their dress codes.

Sales at Tailored Brands, which also includes the K&G and Moores chains, fell 10.7% in the most recent quarter to $768.1 million. It predicts sales will continue to decline in the current period at all brands except K&G.

“We have just not kept pace with an evolving customer,” Tailored Brands Chairman Dinesh Lathi told analysts earlier this month, adding that the company was in the “earliest stages” of trying to find the right balance between suits and more casual attire.

The Lululemon pants thing may reinforce the drag queen notion. For Goldman, maybe casual should involve stripped jumpsuits? For the rest, this is a slippery slope. Outside Wall Street, “dressing up” has been redefined as wearing khakis. More like the devolving customer.

An American Spring – from TPC

America, Spring, TPC

An American Spring in the Air?

This very Wednesday, March the 20th, in A.R.S.H. 2019, at around 5:58 PM (EST), the Sun will traverse the celestial equator and we will cross the vernal equinox. In other words, Happy Spring 2019!


Springtime is the time of new life, renewal, and thawing. Flowers bloom. Temperatures rise. Old dust is swept away. Baseball players hit the field. Families hit the sunnier beaches. The Masters. Tax Day.
Picture from Free Images.
Eight years ago, word reached the eager ears of the West of an “Arab Spring.” Up rose an uprising in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East. The Egyptian affair probably worked out best for the people. In Syria, well … yeah. Libya was more of a reverse robbery by the Bank of England and Goldman Sachs than a revolution. And, unless they’re filming a Star Wars movie, nobody really cares about Tunisia.
Still, this has me, as always, thinking about possibilities. Could we witness our own revolution and/or revival? Could there be a Western Spring, an American Spring? Are we in the early stages of one now?
As I alluded to last week, Americans are waning in America. Original intent Americans are somewhere around 10-15% of the population. Stand-in or make-do Americans are headed towards minority, great plurality status in a decade or two. Then what? Don’t worry too much about the particulars – we’ll soon enough find out what’s in store.
Let’s be honest, for Spring’s sake. The Old Republic died in 1861; an Empire was born. The United States Empire masqueraded well as the Federal Republic for a long time, even as the cracks formed and grew. The flag. English. Disneyland. Etc. But, all good (or not-so-good) things must come to an end. Already collapsing, the Empire enters its Winter. Then what? We’ll soon find out.
I really have no idea how it will all come to pass nor how it will all shake out. Knowing something of history and of human nature, I suspect a war is in order. My best guess would Balkanization along the model lines of Yugoslavia.
However – Rejoice! Rejoice! – however it happens, I also suspect that a remnant of the American People and the American Nation will survive. Thrive, even, we may. The where’s and the how’s I know more of than I’ll write today. Shunning divination, I can only speculate. And, I’m not overly concerned with how the governance works out. I do have my preferences but this isn’t about me.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, 2019!

2019, Saint Patrick

Here’s to another St. Patrick’s Day, a celebratory tradition here at the old blog going back to our first March. Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! And, here’s to the coming of the First Day of Spring, 2019 – I’m more than ready this year – this Wednesday, the 20th.

saint-patrick

Saint Patrick was born a Roman citizen in ancient Britain.  At age 16 he was kidnapped and enslaved in Ireland.  He suffered his bondage for six years before escaping back to his home.  Later, as a priest and a bishop, he returned to Ireland as a missionary of the Church.  This in itself is a miracle I think.

BTW, the snakes are metaphorical. St. Paddy did not drive actual serpents out of Ireland. He forced out something much worse. Today, we could use his insight in Hollywood, in academia, and in the Vatican.

Green!

Stop Supporting the Enemy

culture, decline, money, Vox Day

Every other week, at least, I get asked if I’ve seen [______] show or if I’m going to [______] movie. No and no!

Vox Day gets it (as always):

In the meantime, a crew man, GafferAnon, explains what you can do to shut down the Pedo Palace:

Make the money dry up.
Stop going to the movie theaters.
Stop using the products they pimp.
Stop paying to be entertained.

Just stop. Stop buying tickets and then complaining about how they inserted SJW poison into your favorite franchise. Stop making snarky comments and posting negative reviews about movies you paid to see. Stop supporting those who hate you, hate your politics, hate your faith, and hate your nation. Stop funding your own destruction!

I have not been to a movie since The Return of the King came out in 2003. I will never see another Hollywood movie in the theater. Anyhow, be sure to read both linked posts in their entireties, as there is a copious amount of information in them.

Get out of the sewer and stop supporting people who hate you, your family, your nation, and your God. Stop it!

This week’s TPC article, if published…, will focus on the foreign influence perhaps as never before. Therein, I make passing mention of the cultural rot. The Devil stalks you like a lion. Either shoot him or run away; don’t feed him.

Tweetsie RR Trip – from TPC

TPC, Tweetsie Railroad

The Magic and Majesty of Tweetsie Railroad

*Author’s note: The following article originally appeared at my blog, back in December of 2015. Yes, it’s a rehash. But, the titular subject warranted a brief mention, here, a few weeks back. Wanting to elaborate, I spent the better part of an afternoon digging up this forgotten gem. (That sounds better than “I was busy and had a head cold…”).
When it chances to rain I sometimes don a high-quality, hooded raincoat emblazoned with a “12” logo patch. People occasionally inquire as to the meaning and origin of the garment. I love telling the tale.
Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, about halfway between Blowing Rock and Boone, just off U.S. 321, there is the most remarkable hideaway. There one will find a tiny, tiny little (very small) amusement park on the side of a mountain.
Disney World it most certainly is not (praise God). It is a chapter from an older, homier book of Americana. It may be the ultimate roadside destination, a place to shame South of the Border or Wall Drug. Tweetsie Railroad is one of my absolute favorite places anywhere. Time stands still in the mountains.

Smaller country = better health.

The U.S. was hampered by excessive obesity, depression, inactivity and other items, Davies said.

What could those “other items” be? Surely nothing a little new green socialism won’t cure, right?

At Wits’ End: Winter of the West

books, civilization, IQ, The West

Pursuant to last week’s TPC column, I wrapped up At Our Wits’ End, Dutton and Woodley, Imprint Academic, Exeter, UK, 2018.

Dutton-Woodley (1)

It’s much worse than declining general intelligence and the end of the Flynn Effect – it’s the end of Western Civilization as we know it. Winter is already underway and there appears to be nothing to stop it.

This will likely feature in a future TPC bit – just submitted this week’s entry on drafting women into the Imperial military (another sign of advanced decay).

The book answers the following tabloid speculation: Scientists fear end to Mankind not ‘decades away’ but ‘much sooner’
OUR CIVILISATION is doing pretty well – but how long do we have left?

Advanced, intelligent society will survive somewhere. It just might not be in GB of the USE.

A sobering but a very good read.
