David Collier: Amnesty International- from bias to obsession – the report – ‘ My report into Amnesty International is now published and the 200-page analysis is available as a PDF for download.

Ruth R. Wisse: Save Me from My Defenders! A protest against me, and its aftermath, at Bard College – ‘Being silenced or harassed for unpopular speech on a university campus is by now such a mark of distinction that I may be accused of exercising bragging rights in describing a recent incident in which I […]

The flag, the anthem, the Constitution and founding documents...together they form the foundation of a sort of American civil religion...

Trump and the MSM’s Recruiting Drive for the Alt-Right

Martin Solomon — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:16:08 +0000

So it goes like this. The left and their MSM allies decided long ago that their narrative was that all conservatives, and Donald Trump in particular, were racists, sexists, homophobes, antisemites, etc., etc., ad nauseam…you get it… It’s very difficult to get off an idea once you’ve been riding it for so long, even when […]

Bigot Toilets

So here’s something that’s changed during the years since I stopped blogging. Apparently if you think that boys should use the boys’ room, and girls should use the girls’ room you are now a bigoted “homophobe.” No, seriously. What we’ve got is a societal situation whereby some people, having determined that gender is purely socially […]

Hey! How are you? Long time no see. So have you heard about this new musical Hamilton? It’s the Hip hop story of one of the super-geniuses of the Revolution. After hearing about it for awhile I decided to drop the cash on the soundtrack and wow…am I glad I did. Addicted ever since. It’s […]

Hiatus

Hi all. As of now, I’m sorry to say that Solomonia is on an indefinite hiatus. After over eight years of fairly consistent, almost always daily blogging, I’ve decided to sample what it would be like to just exist without reading and looking at everything with an eye to posting. It’s time to take back […]

After a week of listening to and reading too many responses to Terry Jones’s burning of the Koran and the murderous rampages in Afghanistan that used it as an excuse, I have a few thoughts of my own on the subject, and they don’t happen to mesh with too much else that I’ve read or […]

Hamas Looks for Trouble

Guest-Crosspost — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:38:59 +0000

When I heard that Hamas had fired an antitank missile across the border directly at an Israeli school bus, wounding the driver and critically injuring a child — only the fact that the bus was otherwise empty prevented an even more horrendous outcome — I thought: they want a war. The fact that the attack […]
