I know I'm onto a good thing when I click on a website like www.michaelwilkinson.com and am greeted with the sublime sounds of the opening of Beethoven's Emperor concerto!

At the beginning of this year, I remember friends, relatives and colleagues commenting that it was going to be a very interesting one. This pithy utterance was motivated mainly by feelings of immense curiosity about viewing the upcoming election in the United States and the scheduled Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom.

Last night America decisively voted to place the nation’s leadership back into the hands of the grownups. No political act in the world could’ve mattered more in importance.

I can guarantee you that you are not the only ones experiencing feelings of trepidation on the eve of this momentous election –intimations of mortality might even be a more precise way of putting it; America’s mortality that is. Who would’ve thought it would come to this?

So now this contentious 2016 presidential election has turned terribly comical. Trump is being slaughtered in the press over a lewd leaked tape by the puritanical mob who likes to pretend that men are not attracted to the physical anatomy of women. What planet is this? Obviously one in which we are not ever allowed to acknowledge the power of Darwin’s Sexual Selection. I guess this is what you get when a secular Deist joins forces with the Christian Right in a feminist post-modern culture.

I, Clinton.

“Claudius, make me a goddess,” begged the serpentine Livia before exhaling her dying breath into the face of her all-powerful grandson and ancient Rome’s fifth Emperor. Seeking to solicit the genuflection of citizens even from beyond the grave bespoke the extent of her toxic lust for power over the minds of people; a cell-deep craving in her bloodless bosom.

An open letter to Susan Devoy:

Madam,

I titled this piece as such because it is a favourite saying of yours, Dame Susan Devoy, our Race Relations Commissioner - you who don’t like the greeting “Merry Christmas” because ‘non-Christians’ might feel offended during their summer holidays; we know you mean Muslims of course.

This is magnificently clear and essential thinking on the Islamic theocratic menace.

“A Complete Way of Death”
by Edward Cline

On May 26, Family Security Matters reprinted an article, co-authored by Clare Lopez and Retired Admiral James A. Lyons, which originally appeared on Accuracy in Media. “Misrepresenting the Threat of Islam” largely a critique of retired General David Petraeus’s article in the Washington Post (May 15).

I wrote in my latest book, Western Values Defended: a Primer, www.amazon.com/Western-Values-... that feminism and misogyny are two sides of the same coin. Both are a gratuitous absorption in resentment of the opposite sex. But it has become increasingly clear that it is feminism which now leads the war against women. Here’s how:

Why Trump Deserves to Win the American Election by Olivia Pierson 28/4/2016 www.oliviapierson.org "My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people, and American security, above all else. That will be the foundation of every decision that I will make. America first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration." Donald J Trump.

“A Republic, Madam, If You Can Keep It.”
by Olivia Pierson

This was the reply of Benjamin Franklin when he was leaving the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where a woman asked him, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”

What do North Korea, Russia, Iran, Syria – and the Zealots of Multiculturalism all have in common? Communism? No. Religion? No. Totalitarianism? Close. It is hatred of the West.

I've looked for this clip via YT and was delighted to find it because it shows something unusual.

This is a great piece of journalistic reflection on the Arab world in the 21st Century.

Unity through Diversity Equals Cultural Death
By Olivia Pierson

Cultural pluralism is as old as the hills – or at least as old as the Babylonian Empire on whose riverbank shores even the captive Jews were tolerated to sit and weep. Multiculturalism, on the other hand, is a 20th Century bastardization of tolerance, which the United Nations invented to socially engineer Western democracies to cope with overwhelming immigration, mostly from Third World slave-pens.

Stability over Insanity in Iraq...Yeah, Right.

Before 2003, when Saddam Hussein tyrannized Iraq with his secret police, torture chambers and death squads, many, if not most in the west, claimed that he was still the best man for the job “because he kept stability in the region”.

Moving Mozart, one of his best ever. Every time I hear this, it feels as though I've died and gone to heaven.

This is the most profound documentary I have ever seen on the topic of assisted suicide/euthanasia.

Nothing you haven't heard before on this site. Despite the heavy traditionalist point of view, it's a very in-depth documentary made my James Jaeger of Matrixx Entertainment.

This is the full debate. For some reason I couldn't embed.

In Saul Zaentz's unsurpassable cinema masterpiece, Amadeus, the forgiveness scene in the Marriage of Figaro shines with exquisite beauty and heartfelt meaning.

This is just so beautiful, poignant and brilliant, I just had to repost it.

Part 2

I remember this country when it was sane. That was more than 40 years ago. The end really started with John Kennedy. The minute I first heard him, I recognized there was something terribly wrong with that man. He was lying to me without shame or conscience.

Gotta Love this ad.
