Dad is home.
I’m temporarily back for a quick visit this afternoon.
I have to feed the animals, work on the house, help my oldest son with his homework and check on my youngest son who is staying with his grandparents before returning to the hospital.
My daughter Willow is healthy and doing great. There were no issues with the delivery. There were no complications or need for a C section. She is just small. She was supposed to be born around April 19th, but was induced early due to a placenta issue. I was worried about having a newborn at 37 weeks. If she had trouble breathing, it was possible that she might have had to stay in the NICU unit, but fortunately that isn’t an issue. We should all be back home after the discharge tomorrow morning.
I’ve spent the last two nights finishing reading the McKinley biography. The following excerpt comes from Robert W. Merry’s book President McKinley: Architect of the American Century
“As the president enjoyed his summer interlude at Canton, Leon Czolgosz made plans to travel to Buffalo to kill him during his visit to the Pan-American Exposition. Born in Detroit twenty-eight years before, the son of Polish immigrants, he was educated in Detroit public schools, then traveled to Cleveland to pursue factory jobs. He hung out in a working-class saloon called Dryers on Third Avenue and Tod, ate his meals there, slept intermittently in his chair, read the newspapers, kept to himself. Slight of build and sallow of skin, with a bland face accentuated by pale blue eyes, he struck others at the pub as bitter and jittery. “I never had much luck at anything,” he would recall, “and this preyed upon me. It made me morose and envious.” He fell in with a group of anarchists.
Then he went to hear a lecture by Emma Goldman, the well-known and brutal-minded writer, thinker, and lecturer, dubbed by Murat Halstead “the queen of anarchy,” advocate of the assassination of all rulers everywhere. “She set me on fire,” recalled Czolgosz, “Miss Goldman’s words went right through me, and when I left the lecture I had made up my mind that I would have to do something heroic for the cause I loved.”
William McKinley’s assassination in 1901 and the attempted assassination of the industrialist Henry Clay Frick by the Jewish anarchist Alexander Berkman in 1892 during the Homestead Strike could be properly classified as Chapter 1 in a book on the Jewish Question in the United States.
As I have already explained, Jews had lived in America for centuries as a tiny minority and for the most part had assimilated, especially in the South. There is a qualitative difference between Jews like Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin and Jewish revolutionaries like, say, Emma Goldman or Alexander Berkman. The former had assimilated into the American mainstream. Benjamin was part of the antebellum Southern establishment. The latter were radicals trying to topple the social order.
Leon Czolgosz was the son of Polish immigrants, but he had been radicalized by Emma Goldman. President McKinley’s life was cut short as a direct result of our loose Gilded Age immigration policy which later caused us so many problems in the 20th century. Along with the thoughtless emancipation of millions of slaves and Reconstruction, it was the Original Sin of the victorious North.
“Good-bye – good-bye, all,” said the president in a weak voice. Moments later he whispered in Ida’s ear. “It is God’s way. His will, not ours, be done.”
“I want to go with you,” she whispered back.
“We are all going, my dear,” he said, then slipped back into a stupor as he whispered the words to a favorite hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Ida was escorted back to her room for the rest that her doctors deemed imperative to her fragile health. She later returned for a brief visit as the president faded into oblivion.
He died at 2:15 on the morning of September 14, 1901.”
One more thing.
If we zoom out from the focus on McKinley, Goldman and Czolgosz, we can see a larger problem. President James Garfield had been assassinated in 1881 by the crank Charles Guiteau. President Theodore Roosevelt had his own brush with death in 1912 when was nearly assassinated by the crank John Schrank. The term “crank” itself was popularized in the Gilded Age. It was an age of violent cranks.
Several generations earlier, George Fitzhugh had written at length in the 1850s about what he saw as this tendency of “Free Society” in the North and Europe to produce violent fanatics. Fitzhugh believed that the South had been spared this fate and was culturally conservative because of slavery. He saw Europe and our Northern states as being full of radicals. He lived to see the Paris Commune of 1871. There was no equivalent of this subculture of leftwing radicalism in the American South.
Benjamin had done his best to destroy the antebellum political career of Jefferson Davis by claiming that Davis was soft on slavery.
Benjamin was just another Jew who claimed he was a Christiam.
‘Benjamin was just another Jew who claimed he was a Christiam.’
Just so prevalent and most gentiles fall for it each time.
“Benjamin was just another Jew who claimed he was a Christiam.”
Benjamin was actually a Papist most of his life. He married into an aristocratic French Louisianan family. They had international commercial relations with their noble family house on France. They would never have allowed her to marry a Jew. At his death, decades later, on France, he asked for and received the Papist last rites.
Judah Benjamin was part of a wide ranging and well connected Jewish family that had performed intelligence services for both the UK and France. Later they did the same thing for in the US. It should be noted that Judah was responsible for gaining diplomatic representation from the UK, France, a German Kingdom and the Papacy. His network allowed the escape of most of the Confederate government except for Jefferson Davis who managed to get caught by bad luck.
Judah spent the post vellum years mostly in the UK as a lawyer. He didn’t earn a substantial amount of money but was comfortable. He was often reduced to writing opinions and reports in newspapers for extra income He was a highly esteemed attorney by the time of his death.
Jews came over hating Gentiles. Irish Catholics came over hating Anglos. And now we have Muslims coming over hating Jews. Hindus coming over hating Muslims. Ukrainians coming over hating Russians (many Indians and a ton of Ukrainians in my area, and they love their stupid flag on everything and Russia bashing), soon maybe Boers coming over hating the Kaffirs but every Boer I’ve met in person is a Mandela worshipping raceblind oikophobic guilt-monger.
Congratulations on the little girl. Girls NEED dads, if you do it right she’ll marry someone resembling or based on you due to positive imprinting.
Ryan Dawson does an interview with th3 great-niece of Mary Phagan, Mary Phagan-Kean.

Check out the autopsy photo.
Mary Phagan-Kean gives some more details on the case. The governor who issued the pardon worked for the law firm defending Leo Frank, no conflict of interest ? Frank tried to implicate two blacks and a white of Mary’s murder.
Keep in mind that things were already this corrupted by 1913. The Georgia Governor should have been impeached and tried for taking a bribe. It’s many orders worse now.
You’re interested in history?! You NERRRRRRDDDDDD!
I’ve always been a history nerd.
There is a difference between 1.) loving history which is fine and 2.) being so swept up in nostalgia that you allow it to define your politics in the present day.
The Confederacy was an interesting chapter in our history. It is never coming back though. Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee aren’t coming back. European nationalism doesn’t hinge on vindicating Southern slavery. “Telling the truth” about the War Between the States is fine and there is definitely a place for heritage preservation and honoring the memory of our ancestors, but the present and the future is more important than memory of the past
“NS” types don’t grasp this distinction. They mentally take up residence in the past and live there permanently
@Hunter Wallace,
““NS” types don’t grasp this distinction. They mentally take up residence in the past and live there permanently.”
Well said Hunter. The NS types are always at that moment in the Bunker where Hitler loses his shiite and decides the Gatterdumerang is the way out. In this they are like certain Mexicans who are always at that moment when my lineal ancestor and fellow Americans stormed the Halls of Montezuma within the Castle of Chapultepec. Back then some of the Mexican cadets threw themselves off its heights rather than honorably surrender. To this day they celebrate this rather dark and gloomy ending.
Likewise, the Japanese repeated this behavior at both Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Surely by the fates, my Great Uncle was also a Marine who was at Okinawa and saw the Japs do the same thing as the Mexicans did to his ggrandfather at Chapultepec. For many years, the Japs celebrated those actions. Then they realized how shamefully they thought of Americans and realized such acts were not heroic.
Nonetheless, these Anti-American losers will cobtibue always imagine the same thing. Whether its Hitler in his final moments, the Japs in their final moments, or the Mexicans in theirs. Funny, the savage enemies of our country, whether Nazi, Commie, Indian, Mexican or Jap, always act the same, both in defeat and death and in remembrance. Disgraceful and dishonorable losers all of them just as their fans are today.
I have traveled and lived extensively across the country, having set foot in nearly 40 States. Your analysis on regional differences, backed by sound historians, remains spot on. The most enduringly refined and moral region of the country remains the South. In spite of all the federal culture wars waged against it, it is simply embedded in the cultural fabric. The “free (for all) societies” of irreverent, liberal urbanite democracy continues to breed some of the most disgusting attitudes and intolerable living conditions. The only bond that ties this mess together is money.
If Trump gets waxed it is going to be the Ukrainians who did it. And White Nationalist Greg Johnson plays on team Ukraine. And white Nationalist Greg Johnson wanted you to play on team Ukraine too. Be careful.
I don’t pay much attention to Grindr Greg. “Ukraine” is a full-bore Globo-Pedo woketard operation. Fake-and-gay country for a fake-and-gay “conservative”. Lady G likes her catamites too when she’s not busy with her lawn-jockey Mr. Tim.
Benjamin also fled to London, where he conveniently landed a job as a solicitor for the City of London. Shocking, I know. Ol’ Jeff Davis languished in prison for years while Benjamin was making big time swag in the epicenter of Rothschild’s “British” empire.
If I got kicked out of different eating establishments 109 times but insisted that I had nothing to do with it, would you believe me?
Those are just the incidents where countries have expelled them, there are over 1000 legal jurisdictions that have expelled them.
Well, Brad. It’s quite true that Judah Benjamin claimed to be a Christian and he belonged to the old Protestant Episcopal Church, he played down the fact that he was an ethnic Jew. That’s just a fact.
Benjamin was Jewish, but he wasn’t trying to overthrow our social system. He was part of the antebellum Southern establishment. He went along with slavery, secession and served the Confederacy. If he wasn’t Jewish, he would be unremarkable
@Morris Harvey,
“Well, Brad. It’s quite true that Judah Benjamin claimed to be a Christian and he belonged to the old Protestant Episcopal Church, he played down the fact that he was an ethnic Jew. That’s just a fact.”
Actually he wasn’t Protestant. He was a Papist. He converted at a young age and remained a Papist his whole life. He asked for and received the Last Rites on his death.
Maybe take your son’s to see Snow White…….where the evil stepmother is actually twenty times more attractive than “snow white”. 😉
Did Benjamin & Yulee steal the Confederate gold after the WTBS/Civil War? Being they were Jews we will never know will we?
Funny how life and history rhyme.
I, too, born at the end of March, was supposed to arrive in mid-April, and to a mother well into her thirties.
That said, if I’m any indication, get ready for a lot of asthma and allergy problems for Willow. The main reason is that the last three weeks of human gestation is needed fully to transmit mother’s immune system to baby. The more of that which does not occur because of early term birth, the more likely it is that baby will have allergies, which begets asthma.
There was no radical movement in the south because it was old fashioned and agrarian
