The Post-Partisan Emporium

  Civil War II, Without Guns or Bayonets A House divided against itself Donald Jeffries The response to Donald Trump’s election continues to seethe and even explode, in all the big cities. In the upscale, lily-White gated communities. In the breakrooms of every public school. Behind the walls of Hollywood mansions. But most of all, on TikTok and Instagram, revealing America 2.0’s shocking level of insanity. In my last Substack, I blasted Trump for being Trumpenstein, as his initial cabinet choices were mirror images of the establishment disasters that he populated his first administration with. Marco Rubio for Secretary of State? But Trump must have been reading my Substack. Despite intimations that perhaps the Giant Orange Man is functionally illiterate, if he were to read something, what better than my humble offerings here? Trump’s picks of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, and RFK, Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services, were met with the kind of reaction you’d expect fr...

  Pole Shift by Karl Richter Arktos Journal Karl Richter argues that Iran’s response to Western blasphemy at the Olympics symbolizes the dying West and the rise of new global powers like Russia, China, and parts of the Islamic world. The picture shows the response of Shiite Iran to Western blasphemy at the opening of the Olympic Games: in Tehran, Leonardo’s famous  Last Supper , which was mocked in Paris with LGBT, pedophile, and Satanic symbolism, was adorned with a Quran verse: “The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, is the Messenger of God.” (Surah 4, 171) It is strangely touching, but it also confirms an experience I had years ago in Lebanon. In the Shiite communities around Tyre and Kana — the biblical Cana — Christians and Shiites live in good harmony. There is no need for the hostility that Israel and most Western lying media invoke. The fronts have shifted. The old enemy images no longer hold true. Not just since yesterday. The great shift in values has been taking place over...

  Make the Left-Right Divide History David Fleming at Independent Alliance asked me to do a piece summarising my thoughts on the Left-Right Divide. Here it is. RUSERE SHONIWA We have to go all the way back to the  French Revolution  in 1789 to trace the roots of the Left-Right political divide that permeates political discourse in the West today. The burning issue brought before the French National Constitutive Assembly in 1789 was whether the king should have absolute veto power under the new political regime or whether that power should be restricted. When voting on the issue, those who wanted the monarch to retain absolute veto power sat to the right of the president, while those who favoured restricting the power of the monarch congregated to the left. Ever since then, the labels of ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ have been used to demarcate political opinion across a wide spectrum of issues from economic policy to law, civil rights and even religious attitudes. At this epochal mo...
