"Editors’ Note:The following essay is the first in a new feature from The American Mind on the possibilities—and necessity—of rearranging our political map.
...To recap briefly (but read the whole thing!), the book explains how every prominent and powerful American institution, including the federal government, has been taken over by a hostile elite who use their vast powers to attack, despoil, and insult about half the nation.
...To recap briefly (but read the whole thing!), the book explains how every prominent and powerful American institution, including the federal government, has been taken over by a hostile elite who use their vast powers to attack, despoil, and insult about half the nation.
In the sixth chapter (excerpted here), I outline what I think America will look like if the present ruling class refuses to moderate, cannot be forced to share power, and has the wherewithal to keep its regime going.
In the seventh chapter, I sketch several possibilities—from secession to Caesarism to collapse—that might result if it turns out that our overlords are a lot less competent than they think.
And in the final chapter (excerpted here), I offer policy and other ideas that might enable America to avoid those fates...Read all!

"Actor John Cena groveled before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Monday, apologizing obsequiously for the heinous sin of referring to Taiwan as a separate country.
Cena had traveled to Taiwan and China promoting his upcoming film Fast & Furious 9.
While the impetus for Cena’s groveling apology remains unclear, this episode illustrates the terrifying sway China has over America’s media environment.
“Hi China, I’m John Cena. I’m in the middle of Fast and Furious 9 promotions. I’m doing a lot of interviews. I made a mistake in one of my interviews. Everyone was asking me if I could use Chinese – [movie] staff gave me a lot of information, so there was a lot of interviews and information,” Cena said in Mandarin in a video message on Sina Weibo, the South China Morning Post reported.

Fauci's Latest COVID-19 Flip-Flop May Be His Most Disturbing Yet
- Last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed there was “no scientific evidence the coronavirus was made in a Chinese lab.” “If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated … Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species,” Fauci said at the time...He also dismissed the theory that COVID-19 was found in nature, brought to a lab, and then escaped.
- Apparently, Fauci is trying to soften his past position and is finally admitting that he is “not convinced” that COVID-19 developed naturally, when asked by Katie Sanders of Politifact about it. “No, actually. … No, I’m not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened,” Fauci said during an interview earlier this month.
This is an entirely opposite position than the one he’s held for over a year, which he repeated just a couple of months ago, when he disputed the Wuhan lab theory, contradicting the former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield...Read all.
