The Carousel of Nostalgia
T
Nostalgia
N
By Wayne Allensworth Some readers have occasionally criticized my writing for amounting to “mere” nostalgia, which is apparently supposed to be a bad thing. To that I plead guilty. Americans have long been conditioned to think of themselves as living in the land of tomorrow, a tomorrow without any yesterdays. I look back to a past that never seems distant to me, as dreamlike as it can be. Without...
Easter

My favorite Easter hymn:
Chronicles contributor Wayne Allensworth is the author of The Russian Question: Nationalism, Modernization, and Post-Communist Russia, and a novel, Field of Blood.
Palm Sunday
P
By Wayne Allensworth On Palm Sunday, I took a walk. It’s the first day of spring and the sky shows china blue, decorated with small cotton-like puffs of clouds. Flowers are blooming and the ducks at the pond have laid their eggs. The beaver are back—I can tell by the trees that have been gnawed down by them near the pond, though I have not yet seen any dams being built. I...
Hunter Biden Had Spy Inside FBI, Memo Details Payments to Biden Mafia
H
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Hunter Biden had a spy inside the FBI who tipped off his Chinese business partners about investigations into their shady if not illegal activities, and the Israeli man who knows the story about the renegade G-man — or woman — is in jail. Gal Luft, once a lieutenant colonel in the Israeli army with connections to U.S. and Chinese intelligence, the New...
Is NY DA’s Case Against Trump About to Collapse? Grand Jury Doesn’t Meet Second Day
I
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) An American judge famously said a grand jury would “indict a ham sandwich, if that’s what you wanted,” but it appears that the grand jury in Manhattan won’t indict former POTUS 45 Donald J. Trump. For the second day, the grand jury did not meet, apparently because hate-Trump Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg believes it might not indict...
Hemingway: A Life of Creative Destruction
H
By Wayne Allensworth Like a lot of bookish boys of my generation who were raised in a culture in which hunting, fishing, and shooting were commonplace and masculine competence was prized, I admired Hemingway from the time I first took notice of him. His values, expressed as “grace under pressure,” and stoicism in the face of an often harsh and unforgiving world, were part and parcel...
N.Y. AG, Elected Officials Form First Government-sanctioned Child Grooming Gang; James to Host Drag Story Hour
N
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) When New York State Attorney General Letitia James and 11 Democratic elected officials join a drag queen story hour three days from now, the message will be clear. Organized child groomers will have a major power-base inside not only the state Legislature, but also the state’s top law enforcement office. The purpose of the show: To seduce children into...
SENTENCED FOR “MISGENDERING,” U.K. PREACHER REPORTED AS POSSIBLE TERRORIST, APPEALS SENTENCE
S
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) So now in England a Christian minister won’t just be convicted of a crime if he “misgenders” a “trans woman,” the trendy neologism for a man who pretends to be a woman, or is mentally ill and thinks he is one. The trouble for 42-year-old David McConnell, a property manager and part-time street preacher, was much worse. He didn’t just trespass the new rules...
Report: CNN’s Zucker Stopped Network From Pursuing Virus Lab Leak Theory Because It Was a “Trump Talking Point”
R
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) At long last, “the most trusted name in news” has confessed that the China Virus might have escaped from a lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. But CNN’s grudging admission about the U.S.Energy Department’s “low-confidence” assessment, which “raises more questions than answers,” won’t make up for the network’s pushing the...
