Masculinity is increasingly coming under attack in America. The American Psychological Association has practically declared it a mental illness: “Traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.” Of course, UT-Austin did a “MasculinUT” campaign that essentially did the same thing with ads like this: These sorts of attacks on men […]

“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” – Andy Warhol Fame used to be quite the rare commodity if only because there were fewer ways to become famous in the first place. Radio really started to take off in the 1920s, half of all American families acquired a TV in 1955, and […]

The Duke Lacrosse Case. Tawana Brawley. Mattress girl. The Rolling Stone UVA rape hoax. The Brett Kavanaugh hearings. As a man, you can do absolutely nothing wrong and STILL be accused of sexual assault, sexual harassment or God knows what. Rape is a terrible thing and because of that, being falsely accused of it is […]

“We pour our legislation into the Senatorial saucer to cool it.” — George Washington Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump Thank you @SteveDaines for being willing to go with the so-called nuclear option in order to win on DESPERATELY NEEDED Border Security! Have my total support. 68.9K 8:08 AM – Dec 21, 2018 Twitter Ads info and […]

It’s hard to say with certainty whether Christine Blasey Ford has memory issues, mental problems, or is just a liar, but it is crystal clear that her allegations that she was sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh aren’t true. So, when Sports Illustrated shoehorned her into announcing an award, it seemed really strange. Crystal Mangum, the […]

“People keep saying you shouldn’t be penalized for old opinions. You shouldn’t be penalized for your opinions now! You have a perfect right to disapprove of homosexuality or heterosexuality or anything else. Censorship won’t create a world of tolerance, just a world of lies.” – Andrew Klavan Deplatforming is just censorship by another name and it’s […]

“Life expectancy in the United States declined again in 2017 (for the third year in a row), the government said Thursday in a bleak series of reports that showed a nation still in the grip of escalating drug and suicide crises. The data continued the longest sustained decline in expected life span at birth in […]

“Getting older is not so bad. I am 47 and once you get to this age, you know yourself better; you don’t care as much what other people think of you; hopefully you won’t have a spool or a couch you found on the side of the road in your living room and you’ll have […]

Jonathan Albright writing at Medium: In terms of historical engagement on Facebook, Right Wing News, a page representing a small (Hawkins’ note: We were top 7,000 in the world at one time) news outlet line run by (John Hawkins), basically had no peers in the news industry on Facebook until the final stretch of the […]

No civilization in human history has been as sex-drenched as modern-day America. TV shows, music, and even commercials constantly reference sex. An unlimited number of free pornographic clips of every imaginable variety and sort are available to anyone with an Internet connection, and Americans have a libertine attitude about sex. It has gotten so over-the-top […]

Americans realize that something is wrong with their country. That’s why you’ve started hearing more talk about civil war. That’s why, for as long as anyone can remember, large percentages of Americans, usually majorities, think the country is on the wrong track. It’s why things like prepping and survival seeds are on the way up. […]

1. They’re lazy Is there anything lazier than a baby? I mean, even shiftless career welfare bums walk out of the house to the mailbox to get a check. Give a baby a can of oysters with an EZ-open pull tab and the baby will literally starve to death because he doesn’t want to put […]

Like Kim Kardashian or binge drinking, social media is both wonderful AND horrible. On the one hand, social media has given us all a chance to connect and look at pictures of what we’re doing. Right this second. All the TIME. On the other hand… 1. It’s changing us all into brands Do you trust […]

I am not famous. You know this because you’re not going, “OMG, it’s John Hawkins from the TV show I used to watch 10 years ago” or “Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve heard of this guy. He was that lead singer for that band.” That being said, I have been a player in conservative politics […]

  As someone who has spent almost 20 years working in politics, I love taking a break with mindless horror films — the jump scares, the idiot teens splitting up to check out the attic AND the basement at the same time, the un-killable hellbeasts that must be stopped by a motley group of teenagers […]

So, if you were to die in an animal attack, what creature would you expect to kill you? Your neighbor’s pet cobra? A lion escaped from the zoo? A Jaws-sized shark while you’re swimming in the ocean? Well, here are the 7 most dangerous human-killing animals on the planet. You will find that most of […]

“Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.” – Lord Palmerston The cardinal mistake most people tend to make with foreign policy is thinking of nations the same way they do people. However, nations are not people and as a practical matter, you can’t treat them as such. You may have […]

1. Relationship screw-ups Most people focus on the standard issue bad boyfriend or bad girlfriend, but unless they’re all stabby or trick you into impregnating them, you’ll be fine. Well, unless you stay in a really sh*tty relationship for way, way too long. I mean, if you’re on, say, year four and don’t have a […]

As someone who first started doing political blogging in 2001, I can tell you that there was once a time when the chances of a regular person being cut to ribbons online for a faux pas were practically zero. As someone who has been deluged with negative comments after building a top 10,000 in the […]

If someone told you that liberals don’t care about originalism, sticking to the Constitution, or treating conservatives fairly, the surprise level would be zero. Additionally, I’m sure no one was shocked that lefties were howling, being obnoxious, and generally acting like jackasses while they were protesting. These are things everyone on the Right already knows […]

There is a hit piece on me in the New York Times today, which as a conservative I take as a point of honor. Just to note some of the inaccuracies in the piece: “When Christine Blasey Ford testified before Congress last month about Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual assault, an online news site called Right Wing […]

“A ‘he said, she said’ case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that.” – Rachel Mitchell During the hearings where Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was questioned, the Republicans deferred their questions to Maricopa County sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Well now, a memo from Rachel Mitchell has been released. […]

I have friends who have been raped. For some of them, it has been a traumatic event they’d rather forget. For others, it will impact them terribly for decades to come. Every time one of them has told me about it, my first impulse has always been to do terrible violence to the person the […]

Christine Blasey Ford has testified at the Kavanaugh hearings and she seems like a perfectly nice, sympathetic woman, I guess… if she isn’t falsely accusing you of sexual assault. However, there were still enormous problems with her testimony. 1. She still can’t confirm the basics of her account She can tell everyone definitively that Brett […]
