The above feature photo (taken when visiting Hollywood Cemetery in July 2017) captures the irony of Richmond’s continual and nearly complete reconstruction.

Jason Kessler is a freelance journalist and activist who has written for VDare and The Daily Caller.

Update May 2023: I adore Abbot Tryphon and hope to meet him one day. He is one of the most courageous voices battling against the spirit of the age and for true Orthodoxy. “Humanism means freedom from God and the search for solutions to problems in this freedom,” the wise monk stated in February 2021. …
Michael Sisco describes himself as “Orthodox Christian. U.S. Army Veteran. Paleoconservative. Writer. Journalist.” He’s the creator of Saints Edward Media, which is “real news and opinion with a heavy emphasis on truth, peace, and order.” This “traditionalist news” outlet features meaty essays, as well as podcast interviews and live streams done via the Michael Sisco …
