Dr. Hill used the phrase “banana republic” to describe the regime just two months ago at the League of the South conference in Florida.
Muh legitimacy.
Muh institutions.
Muh liberal democracy.
Why do so many people have the impression that there is this insular, malevolent class of PMCs who live in a coastal bubble and who dominate our institutions and who are out of touch with folks in Real America and who are out to get Donald Trump and his supporters?
Tell me something … where would anyone get that impression?
David French never recovered from being trolled and called a cuckservative. He is still sulking about it seven years later. It was all downhill from there for his career and reputation.
Now watching.

I covered all this way back in the day during my transition to Southern nationalism.
A decade later, the conflict between Dixie and its allies in Real America and Libtardia (Acela Corridor) and Shitlibia (West Coast) on the coasts is far more intense. There is also a new class dimension to the conflict which is centered on these cultural divisions

Apparently, Latino Zoomer had a Joker moment last month. He threatened a Day of Retribution against Turning Point USA and has gotten picked up by the FBI.
The most striking thing about AF which makes it different from its predecessors in the movement is that it let in the mentally ill non-Whites too.

Good points.
If Liz Cheney runs for president in 2024, she would only hurt Trump’s rivals.
“A nearly 40-point election loss isn’t usually the launching pad for a presidential campaign, but Liz Cheney has made it clear that she’s thinking about running in 2024.
The Wyoming congresswoman and daughter of the former vice president got wiped out in her GOP primary Tuesday night. The loss didn’t occasion a grim concession speech to a roomful of half-drunk supporters, though, but a picturesque, made-for-TV call to arms invoking Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant …”

I’m not a Christian nationalist.
As I have explained, I have learned my lesson about branding myself with labels and jumping on bandwagons. We should never underestimate the ability of poor leadership or poor followers who are retards or sociopaths to make labels toxic in spite of our best efforts.
I do believe, however, that a godless, secular society which is dominated by liberals and modernists will inevitably become self-absorbed and culturally degenerate. In such societies, the Self will replace God. The pursuit of desire and sick hedonistic lifestyles will be elevated above morality which will be dismantled. There is no better example of this than the embrace of the “trans” movement and the progressives who are cheering on genital mutilation surgery and puberty blocking hormones.
“There was a time, not very long ago, when far-right figures wanted to avoid being called “Christian nationalists”—denying or deflecting or pleading ignorance. Even now, some reject the label. “Reporters frequently ask me,” Robert Jeffress, the megachurch pastor, said last month, “‘Are you a Christian nationalist?’ . . . And I respond emphatically, ‘No, not in any way.’” In May, Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee in the race for Pennsylvania governor, wrote a reporter, “Is this a term you fabricated? What does it mean and where have I indicated that I am a Christian Nationalist?” Franklin Graham told the same reporter that “Christian nationalism doesn’t exist.” …
To understand why a more open embrace of Christian nationalism on the right today is so insidious, we have to understand what Christian nationalism is. It arises from a warped version of American history, one that holds that the United States was supposed to be an explicitly Christian country, founded by and for Christian people—often understood explicitly to mean white Christian people. This bad history has been disproved time and time again, but it is central to the self-appointed legitimacy of Christian nationalists.
The pseudo-history is one pillar of white Christian nationalism. A second pillar is that society and its laws should be dictated by white Christians, that there should be no separation of church and state. A third pillar: the belief that only Christians—white, conservative Christians—are “true” Americans. …
Everyone is invited to “freely enter into a personal relationship with the Savior,” fine, but the mechanism described here is neither free nor personal: It is a state-imposed Christendom over the nation and its inhabitants. …
Describing a June conference of Christian conservatives, reporter Katherine Stewart explained the three trends she saw that suggested Christian nationalism was on the rise:
First, the rhetoric of violence among movement leaders appeared to have increased significantly from the already alarming levels I had observed in previous years. Second, the theology of dominionism—that is, the belief that “right-thinking” Christians have a biblically derived mandate to take control of all aspects of government and society—is now explicitly embraced. And third, the movement’s key strategists were giddy about the legal arsenal that the Supreme Court had laid at their feet as they anticipated the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
White Christian nationalism knows no nuance—it advocates for a society in which minority rule by white, conservative Christians is enshrined, democracy be damned. And when you listen closely enough, sooner or later, its defenders will reveal their true colors, as Benton does in her Federalist article, when she writes “It’s this love of God, country, and freedom trifecta that has the enemy screeching like there’s no tomorrow” (emphasis added). “The enemy”—an odd way to talk about your political opponent in a democracy. But par for the course in white Christian nationalism, which yearns for a white, Christian, authoritarian state that puts everybody else where they belong—under the “biblical” rule of white, right-wing Christians.”
We already live under dominionism.
We still live in a nation with a Christian majority, but one in which the “mainstream” is some overlapping combination of Jewish, atheist, liberal, modernist or urbanite with a college degree. It has been at least a century since Christianity has been the dominant culture among our elites. The people at the top of the cultural pyramid are overwhelmingly Jews, liberals, atheists or modernists. A disproportionate number of them cover all of these bases. It is people like Harvey Weinstein, not Walt Disney, who control our institutions like the entertainment industry.
Progressives believe that they have a divine mandate “to take control of all aspects of government and society.” They are on “the right side of history.” They do not hesitate to say that every state should have abortion on demand, gay marriage, the public celebration of sodomy in PRIDE month, interracial marriage, hardcore pornography, “trans,” etc. They are not interested in public opinion and have no problem with federal judges reading their views on divisive cultural issues into the Constitution.
They don’t think twice about this. They have an overwhelming sense of entitlement. The thing that is shocking to them is the thought that Christians should be the ones in charge of these institutions or that Christians should govern themselves. It is “fascism” and “authoritarianism” when Oklahoma bans abortion, but not when Anthony Kennedy unilaterally imposes gay marriage on the entire country. When Liz Cheney loses her primary by a 2 to 1 margin, it a devastating blow to “liberal democracy.”
“But the “how” of politics—the virtues we display as we engage—don’t evolve at all. The fruit of the spirit is timeless. There is no political emergency that justifies a departure from these core values. Scripture anticipates that Christians will face evil, yet the command is clear: “See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.”
Christian young people are often taught that they should be countercultural. The youth group version of that admonition goes something like this: When the world is profane, your speech is clean. When the world is drunk, you are sober. When the world is promiscuous, you are chaste. How do you know we’re Christian? We don’t cuss, drink, or have premarital sex. …”
This is great advice.
The “mainstream” is sunk in self-absorbed decadence.
Why on earth would anyone want to be governed by those people?

Link. We at OD and elsewhere in the Dissident Right, pro life movement, immigration patriots have started to “notice” that the Biden administration has politicized the FBI and other Federal Law enforcement organizations. The FBI doesn’t seem to be going after violent drug gangs that are murdering folks in our cities. Instead the FBI is doing armed, dawn raids on pro life activists. What’s with that?
Is the FBI no longer fighting organized crime?
We’d like to introduce our readers to the excellent commentary by ex Italian Mafia made guy Michael Franzese. This link is presented under the “fair comment” clause of the American 1st Amendment protecting free speech.
The original head of the FBI – J Edgar Hoover insisted (all evidence to the contrary) that there was no such thing as an Italian Mafia or “organized crime”. Why did J Edgar Hoover say such nonsense and why didn’t the FBI really go after the Mafia?
Michael Franzese states in this video (link) that the Mafia knew J Edgar Hoover was a homosexual pervert and also a cross dresser. The Mafia blackmailed J Edgar Hoover never to bother the Italian Mafia and the Blackmail worked. This great Michael Franzese interview also references one of my favorite real events in 1970s New York City: the time the Joe Colombo Italian mafia led 50,000 + Italian Americans to protest Hollywood depictions of Italian Americans as Mafia gangster. Another Italian Mafia gangster had Joe Columbo assassinated at this protest. Ha ha.
Here’s a link to the write up of the time the Mafia protested Hollywood for depicting Italian Americans as Mafia gangsters.
Imagine holding four national elections in nineteen months!
How?
Inflation has spiraled out of control for four reasons:
1.) The COVID lockdowns which screwed up the global supply chain which has never been the same since.
2.) Joe Biden’s poor relationship with MBS who he labeled murderer on the campaign trail. Gas prices were already high before the war in Ukraine because of this and have spiked again because the Saudis are cutting production.
3.) Joe Biden’s blowout spending in the COVID relief bill which ignited inflation. Democrats were only stopped from spending several trillion more on Biden’s policy agenda by Manchin and Sinema. Kyle Kulinski wanted to spend around $10 trillion dollars on new government programs.
4.) The war in Ukraine which was caused by Joe Biden’s foreign policy which has sent commodity prices soaring.
Former Hawaii US Congresswoman, Iraq war veteran Tulsi Gabbard says she’s left the Democrat party. She just can’t take the lying Democrat elite that forces BOTH $ trillion Neo Conservative/Zionist wars AND Critical Race theory, cult marxism, open borders mass immigration, sexual degeneracy, anti family polices against regular (White) Americans.
Good for Tulsi Gabbard.
We certainly live in strange times, maybe “Latter Day”, “End Times” as the idiots (Js) in the Biden Administration, the Deep State, Military Industrial Complex and just the coalition of Js, Blacks, homos, Muslims are pushing for a nuclear war against Russia, maybe one against China.
Why do supposedly “Liberal”, “Progressives” who were once against wasteful $ military spending, against WAR, WAR, WAR, against the US military, colonialism – why are they all voting FOR $40 billion weapons for Ukraine?
The answer is:
They hate us
Anything we’re for, they are against, anything Trump, Putin or Hitler might have been for, might be for they are against it. Hitler, Putting and Trump were against mass unemployment and against degenerate sexual grooming of poor White Europeans, poor European Americans so these Js, POC, Muslims AOC have to be for these things.
It’s very George Orwell “1984” where everything is politicized in to teams of a WOKE “oppressed” good side, and the bad side – straight, White Europeans like Trump, Putin, Hitler and us.
“War” means “Peace”
“Hate’ means “Slavery”
“Slavery” means “Freedom”
Occasionally one will come in to contact with an honest Liberal like Tulsi Gabbard, Bill Maher, even honest White gays like Pym Fortuyn or some fair, honest Muslims like those protesting homo pervert propaganda in Dearborn MI public schools; but these honest Js, Liberals/Muslims are increasingly rare.

Well, that didn’t take long.
The Democratic Party is the party of the liberal establishment.
As we have seen, a vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for war with Russia, an unlimited flow of arms and escalation of the war in Ukraine and for neocons and neoliberals running our foreign policy.
“ON MONDAY MORNING, 30 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus sent a letter to the White House that attempted to gingerly open a conversation about a potential diplomatic end to Russia’s war on Ukraine. The door was slammed shut by the evening, met with enough fury to elicit a “clarification” in the form of a statement from caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal.
“Let me be clear,” Jayapal said in a statement issued just before 7 p.m., “We are united as Democrats in our unequivocal commitment to supporting Ukraine in their fight for their democracy and freedom in the face of the illegal and outrageous Russian invasion, and nothing in the letter advocates for a change in that support.” …
“I have voted for every defense package to Ukraine and stand firmly for Ukraine’s sovereignty,” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., a letter signer, told The Intercept. “It should not be controversial to say we need to explore every diplomatic avenue to seek a just peace and to end the war, including the engagement of our allies to help with that.”
There isn’t any antiwar Left.
The Democratic Party is the party of David Frum and Bill Kristol.
TAC:
“On Feb. 15, 2003, 14 million people poured into the streets of 800 cities worldwide to oppose the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. It was a preemptive response to the preemptive war hatched by Bush administration, and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, it was the largest protest ever in human history. Yet the 2003 protest was also a swan song of sorts: the movement that gave rise to it is now all but defunct—namely, the antiwar left.
Two decades later, as U.S. hawks press for relentless escalation against nuclear Russia, and as European leaders unfailingly toe Washington’s line, there is no major movement of the left to channel dissent. Nor are there commanding antiwar figures comparable in stature to the likes of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Labour M.P. Tony Benn, who spoke for the movement in 2003. Old antiwar groups, like the ANSWER Coalition, are either silent or struggling to be heard. …
Were leftists always this uncritical of the claims of NATO and the military-industrial complex? Was the early post-9/11 era a grand hallucination? What changed? The answer proffered by defenders of the progressive status quo is that there has been no change at all. The left was right to oppose America’s unjustified wars after 9/11, just as it is right to oppose Russia’s war of aggression today. Sancta simplicitas! …”

This is important.
Generally speaking, I am not as angry with Republicans as I have been in the past largely because Alabama Republicans really haven’t been doing a bad job. They ended a woman’s right to choose in Alabama. They passed the “Don’t Say Gay” law. They have already banned “gender-affirming care” for “trans youth.” Also, we didn’t lose our minds during COVID or the Fentanyl Floyd riots.
“If Republicans win control of one or both congressional chambers this week, they will likely begin a project that could reshape the nation’s political and legal landscape: imposing on blue states the rollback of civil rights and liberties that has rapidly advanced through red states since 2021.
Over the past two years, the 23 states where Republicans hold unified control of the governorship and state legislature have approved the most aggressive wave of socially conservative legislation in modern times. In highly polarizing battles across the country, GOP-controlled states have passed laws imposing new restrictions on voting, banning or limiting access to abortion, retrenching LGBTQ rights, removing licensing and training requirements for concealed carry of firearms, and censoring how public-school teachers (and in some cases university professors and even private employers) can talk about race, gender, and sexual orientation. …
This first act has played out largely within the framework of restoring states’ rights and local prerogatives. As I’ve written, the red-state moves on social issues amount to a systematic effort to reverse the “rights revolution” of the past six decades. Over that long period, the Supreme Court, Congress, and a succession of presidents nationalized more rights and reduced states’ leeway to abridge those rights, on issues including civil rights, contraception, abortion, and same-sex marriage.
Now the red states have moved to reverse that long trajectory toward a stronger national floor of rights by setting their own rules on abortion, voting, LGBTQ issues, classroom censorship, and book bans, among other issues. In that cause, they have been crucially abetted by the Republican-appointed Supreme Court majority, which has struck down or weakened previously nationally guaranteed rights (including abortion and voting access).
But the proliferation of these congressional-Republican proposals to write the red-state rules into federal law suggests that this reassertion of states’ rights was just a way station toward restoring common national standards of civil rights and liberties—only in a much more restrictive and conservative direction. “All of these things have been building for years,” Alvin Tillery, the director of the Center for the Study of Diversity and Democracy at Northwestern University, told me. “It’s just that Mr. Trump gave them the idea they can succeed being more [aggressive] in the advocacy of these policies.”
Just the other day, Florida followed our lead and banned “gender-affirming care” for “trans youth” although it didn’t go through the state legislature.
“Florida has effectively banned medications and surgery for new adolescent patients seeking gender transitions after an unprecedented vote by the state’s medical board.
The move makes Florida one of several states to restrict what’s known as gender-affirming care for adolescents, but the first to do so through the actions of its Board of Medicine, whose 14 members were appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The strategy circumvented the Republican-controlled State Legislature, which had twice declined to take up a bill aiming to restrict such treatment.
The board voted 6-3 (with five others not present) on Friday to adopt a new standard of care that forbids doctors to prescribe puberty blockers and hormones, or perform surgeries, until transgender patients are 18. Exceptions will be allowed for children who are already receiving the treatments. …”
At the state level, Republican governors and state legislatures have long passed a bunch of good bills only to watch those bills later get shot down in federal court, which is why it seems like nothing ever happens. Arizona’s SB 1070, for example, went all the way to the Supreme Court where it was shot down by John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy in Arizona v. United States. Alabama’s HB 56 was another tough anti-illegal immigration law that was gutted in federal court by the SPLC.
Note: The death of Roe v. Wade and the impending death of affirmative action have illustrated that a combination of electing Trump as president, controlling state legislatures and winning key Senate races has gradually removed some of these legal obstacles that have vexed us in the past.

Trump is right on this.
No one is going to vote for a sideshow act. The message that Independent voters have been sending over the last three elections is that they clearly want less of that.
In the midst of Ye’s expose of our country’s current power structure, I couldn’t help but worry that the griftnats might attempt to sink their fangs into the billionaire’s movement.
Sadly, I was right.
In the aftermath of Milo and Nick getting involved, all we got was one ironic “Shalom : )” tweet. It appeared as though the enemy gotten the situation well under control and this whole thing would be memory-holed and mostly forgotten by the end of 2022. Ye’s sacrifices would be for nothing and he would be nothing more than a celebrity pawn in Milo’s Mar-a-Lago stunt.
However, Ye must have realized this was getting him nowhere and he decided to pick it up again towards the end of November on Tim Pool’s show along with some street interviews.
But yesterday he did the unthinkable. He came out in support of Adolf Hitler and denied the legitimacy of the holocaust story. Alex Jones was in full-on damage control desperately playing an American History X scene and trying to muddy up the show by throwing in conspiracy theories such George Soros supposedly being a Nazi and Jew’s are being killed in massive numbers by COVID vaccines. Mr. Catboi himself tried to derail the conversation by claiming that Laura Loomer, a militant Zionist, is one of the “good Jews” (hours before Loomer’s fellow far-right co-ethnic Jacob Wohl issued a borderline death-threat to Ye).”
Needless to say, none of these tactics worked in shutting him up. All of the resources devoted to promoting Alex Jones to dissidents have gone down the drain. The alt-light “optics” argument was once again proven to be an insincere concern-trolling smear campaign against genuine nationalists. Ye came out as a “wignat” to the world and he is in the process of mainstreaming Hitler and holocaust denial to millions of people. From how it looks right now, there isn’t a thing that Jones, Ali Alexander, Fuentes or Milo can do about it.
ICYMI: Tillis Amnesty Deal Is Dead https://t.co/PDqKJPaAhZ

The long shot bipartisan immigration deal led by Sens. Thom Tillis and Kyrsten Sinema is dead this Congress, sources say.

Sen. John Cornyn and other members of GOP leadership said there was scant Republican support for the plan, which had yet to be released as legislative text.
A few thoughts on this before I walk out the door:
1. As with the “marriage equality” bill that recently codified gay marriage and interracial marriage into federal law, every single Democrat in Congress supports a mass amnesty for DREAMers.
2. A handful of moderate Republicans and people who are retiring from Congress support an amnesty for DREAMers and the bill that codified gay marriage and interracial marriage into federal law.
3.) Here in Alabama, both of our Republican senators and all 6 Republican House members opposed the gay and interracial marriage bill and the DACA amnesty. Good for them. That’s how I would have voted. I can’t say that my views are unrepresented in Congress or in our state legislature. I’m mainstream now. We also ended a woman’s right to choose and passed the Don’t Say Gay Bill too. I support that too.
4. The only reason any of this is even on the table is because we have a Democratic Congress. That’s why it is dead when the Republican House takes over in January. They were trying to push it through in the lame duck session but were unable to do so because of the situation on the border.
5. Finally, the correlation between White Christian Nationalism and states and House districts where White evangelical Protestants are concentrated and opposition to interracial and gay marriage and support for immigration restriction ought to be obvious.
There is a reason why faggot and interracial marriage was legalized.
The reason is that our section of the country, which has a distinct cultural, religious and historical profile, didn’t control the House. If the vote had been in February, it would have failed.

The @SenateGOP is about to help pass this – with THESE earmarks. Think about that. Remember that. #StandUpForAmerica https://t.co/AcwqKydDrk

Aside from the $45 billion for Ukraine, what else is in the $1.7 trillion dollar Porkulus spending bill?
It goes on and on like this.
Keep in mind that the GOP cynically ran in the midterms on opposing inflation and wasteful spending. After winning the House on that message, Senate Republicans are going to pass this and fund the government through September. The first thing that they are going to do is eliminate the ability of House Republicans to do anything about the problem for a year!
Note: The Porkulus is the definitive proof that actually we can’t “stand with Ukraine” while focusing on domestic priorities like immigration or inflation.
Yes.
If the South had been allowed to secede in peace, there wouldn’t have been a war.
“In the late morning of March 6, 1857, two days after the inauguration of James Buchanan as the 15th president of the United States, the Supreme Court’s chief justice, Roger B. Taney, stood among a crowd of reporters and spectators on the ground floor of the United States Capitol and formally read the 55-page majority opinion in Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sandford. Born during the American Revolution and now just shy of 80, Taney could still take over a room with his sense of conviction, and as he began to address the crowd, the old Supreme Court chamber brimmed with anticipation.
Dred Scott’s name was by that point well known to many Americans. The four days of debate on the case, conducted in December of the previous year, had been covered extensively by newspapers. Scott, an enslaved man, and his wife, Harriet, had sued for their freedom based on Dred’s claim that their late owner had taken them for several years into Illinois, a free state, and to Fort Snelling, in a Northern territory where slavery was banned by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. That federal legislation effectively outlawed slavery in the territories above the 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude. It was considered a “sacred pledge” by many antislavery Northerners determined to protect the West as “free soil” for “free labor,” but pro-slavery Southerners became equally determined to incorporate new territories as slaveholding states. In deciding whether enslaved people could gain their freedom by residing on free soil, the Supreme Court might answer a question critical to the growing nation: What would the status of slavery be in the Western territories?
Now Taney was ready to deliver the decision. A Marylander and former slaveholder, he was six feet tall and had a drooping, worn facial expression and tobacco-stained teeth. His voice was a bit weak and his body enfeebled, but he remained possessed of what a critic called an “infernal apostolic manner.” Black people, he said, could never be “citizens,” nor considered “as a part of the people.” The room stirred as listeners recognized that Taney was reaching for a much bigger impact than simply the fate of Dred and Harriet Scott and their daughters, or even the question of whether slavery would be permitted in the territories. “Every citizen has a right to take with him into the Territory any article of property,” the chief justice declared. “The Constitution of the United States recognizes slaves as property and pledges the Federal Government to protect it.”
The great crisis over the existence and expansion of slavery had just made a decisive turn …”
Black citizenship was a divisive question at the time. New England was for it.
We see that Amren has announced their year end Traitor of the Year 2022 – former UK Tory Party Prime Minister Boris Johnson (link) – an excellent choice.
We hope some of our British readers now confront B Johnson – the terrible traitor at some of his highly paid personal appearances, speeches.
But all is not gloom and doom, disasters and defeats for our people, our civilization in 2022. There was so much good news – in the areas of sports, popular culture and here and there in politics – mostly outside North America and the Anglo sphere.
Our man of the year – family of the year is (drum roll) undisputed heavy weight boxing champion Tyson Fury and the Fury Family!
Tyson Fury is simply a best ever, bad ass fighter boxer – his 3 legacy fights with Deonte Wilder (1 draw, 2 Fury KOs) rank up there with the Ali vs Frazer 3 fights in the 1970s. No one beside Tyson Fury has ever gotten up from a wilder right hand knock down, Tyson Fury did it 3 times and came back strong to dominate and win.
Tyson Fury has also been a very outspoken British, Western man speaking out against the worst corruptions of our time – homosexual perversions, media liars, mass immigration (link) and even named the J once (link).
Tyson Fury knows how to play the boxing game preferring to set himself up in the British boxing world with a White Gentile promoter Frank Warren and his own family as trainers, before coming over to the United States to receive huge $ paydays and cut in more respectable Black American trainers such as Sugar Hill.
Tyson Fury has a beautiful wife “Paris Fury” and they now have 6 very beautiful, healthy children. Check out this interview with the beautiful, traditional wife and mother Paris Fury (link).
We’re pretty confident Tyson Fury could/will have a great career in politics as a champion of the forgotten working man, similar to Ukrainian former heavy weight champion Vitali Klitschko (mayor of Kiev).
God bless you Sir Tyson Fury!
There are so many other positive, good news stories in sports, culture and even some in politics – we’ll leave that for the comment section. Please try to adhere to OD comment guidelines, stay on top and be positive.
Have a safe New Year.

No thanks.
Ukraine over the United States would have been more fitting.
This is hilarious.
The most woke states which had the most support for BLM protests are some of the whitest states in the country and the least woke states where BLM protests had the least traction have the most blacks.
