Just as Charlottesville is eternally imprinted into the American psyche as “the deadly white-supremacist rally,” this week’s pro-Trump, anti-elite protest in Washington is successfully being tarnished as “mob violence” and “a siege.” The pearl-clutching is pretty epic, even for a postmodern people. “Trump loyalists stormed the Capitol” and “rioters breached security,” go the contrived commentaries …
Today I talk with Jennifer Grinwis of Nan’s School of Dance, which was started by Grinwis’ mother Nan in 1975. Jen became director in 2002, and she and her husband Jon have owned the company since 2008. The dance studio has two North Carolina locations: Greensboro and Yadkinville. It’s a family business with deep roots, …
By Daniel B. Rundquist When I read the news lately, I just want to shout. It’s insane. There is no civility, no normalcy, and really not much in the way of actual news any longer. Even media outlets dedicated to reporting just the weather are polluting the airways with their political agenda. Propagandists of every …
My colleague and friend Jack Kerwick, who I had the pleasure of interviewing for the DM podcast back in June, has written a riveting piece. For anyone who’s ever read Kerwick, that’s not really news. His writing is always thought-provoking, sometimes putting into words exactly what you felt but couldn’t quite articulate, and other times …

Ron, along with brother Walter Donald Kennedy, are the Kennedy Twins …
So we got to know Ilana Mercer a bit in part 1. Now, the paleolibertarian wordsmith takes full command of her keyboard and her craft, and takes no prisoners in this explosive followup. Simply put, she ain’t skeered. Even though I’m a recovering mainstream journalist by trade, I’ve only been at dissident blogging a few …
The tagline at Ilana Mercer’s website is “Verbal swordplay for civilization.” Ain’t that the truth. The self-described paleolibertarian has been wielding words and fighting the good fight since well before I even thought about fleeing the clutches of feminism-atheism-socialism. She’s both provocative and poignant – a difficult thing to pull off anytime, much less in …
Okay, y’all. I’m going on the offensive. Instead of being on pins and needles while out and about mask-less, worrying whether people are going to go full-bore psychotic on me or not, or averting my eyes as to avoid the hateful glares peering from atop people’s muzzles, I’ve decided to take matters into my own …

So, the Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP – never a group to actually promote true advancement and justice – is wanting to sandblast the massive monument to Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis in Stone Mountain, Georgia. At 90 feet tall and 190 feet wide, this memorial to three of America’s most honorable …
