UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell presented his newborn son to the world and declared he will be homeschooling his child and avoiding any vaccinations, as well.
Mitchell took to his Instagram account to showcase new baby Tucker, telling his fans that the infant is “very healthy” and is doing “very good.” After some basic pleasantries, the 145-pound fighter explained that he was not willing to vaccinate his child.

The threat of ethnonationalism is a progressive fantasy
In The Return of the Native, Hardy observes of the mummers’ St George play that the proof it is a genuine folk tradition lies in the sullen joylessness with which it is carried out, “which sets one wondering why a thing that is done so perfunctorily should be kept up at all”. And yet, Hardy observes, “the agents seem moved by an inner compulsion to say and do their allotted parts whether they will or no”. Much of the same could be said of today’s annual St George ritual, in which Twitter liberals set out to slay the dragon of xenophobic nationalism, and their conservative opponents the equivalent monster of oikophobic deracination. No other European nation behaves like this. Even within our home archipelago, the Irish do not do this on St Patrick’s Day, nor the Welsh and Scots on St David’s or St Andrew’s Days: it is no doubt a marker of my fundamental un-Englishness that I find this trait strange and maladaptive. In this hysteric faux-cosmopolitanism, so distinct from the national consciousness of our neighbouring Dutch or Danes or Norwegians, the English prove themselves the very weirdest of the weird. But then: “What should they know of England, who only England know?”
“Liberalism,” he wrote, “permits Western civilization to be reconciled to dissolution.”
Sixty years ago, James Burnham’s book Suicide of the West was published to much acclaim from conservatives and much criticism by liberals. It was Burnham’s last book (other than a collection of his National Review columns titled The War We Are In) and, perhaps, his most pessimistic and prophetic work. Western civilization led by the United States, he wrote, was dying, not because of external challenges but, rather, because of internal decay. The West, in other words, was in the process of committing civilizational suicide. And what caused liberals to ridicule and deride the book was Burnham’s conclusion that liberalism was the “ideology of Western suicide.”
On a trip to Germany last month, I met a young man who wanted me to understand something important about his country. He said he, like me, is a believing Christian—and this, he did not need to tell me, makes him rare in his generation. He also said he is a conservative, but a conservative under siege in a way that an American like me might not understand.
“You have to realize that in Germany, anything to the right of the liberal conservative party”—he meant the Christian Democrats—“is seen as fascist,” the young man said. Given Germany’s history, this designation demonizes any and all challenges to the current system.
While relations between the French Rassemblement National (RN) and the German Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) had become strained after a cabal in the German press against the AfD about remigration, the leaders of the two political groupings have stepped up contacts to overcome misunderstandings and try to strengthen ties.
An investigation published by the German ‘investigative journalism network’ Correctiv claimed in January that the AfD had spoken out at a meeting in favour of the ‘remigration’ of German nationals who had not assimilated. On the strength of these press rumours, which were denied by the AfD, the Rassemblement National, the AfD’s ally in the European Parliament’s right-wing Identity & Democracy (ID) group, announced that it wanted to distance itself from its German counterpart, and vigorously condemned any form of ‘remigration.’
“It feels great to be in this city,” said my French interlocutor, over dinner this week in a neighborhood Hungarian restaurant. “It feels like I’m back in Europe.”
I laughed, telling him that that is the second time since I moved to Budapest that I’ve heard those words from the mouth of a visitor from France. He smiled and said, “It’s true. I feel it also in Poland.”
He’s talking about migration and crime, of course. Since moving permanently to Europe last autumn, I have put myself on a crash course to learn what life is really like in Europe, as opposed to what the American media says it’s like. One would understand from paying attention to the US media that Europe has migration problems. But one would almost never grasp the depth and breadth of the problem if one did not have the chance to talk to Europeans who are living with it, but whose views do not fit the media’s preferred liberal narrative.
NY Times opinion columnist Nikolas Kristof wrote an interesting piece yesterday highlighting something that is undeniably true but which we doesn’t get talked about anymore. Children who grow up with two-parents do significantly better in life.
This Canadian province wants to pick immigrants based on their nation. Is that fair, or a ‘slippery slope’?
In a first-of-its-kind pilot project, Saskatchewan is picking skilled immigrants based on their country of residence, raising eyebrows for deviating from Canada’s selection system that has otherwise been open to all regardless of race and nationality.
In August, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program created six draws with the goal of inviting 542 skilled immigrants in dozens of occupational backgrounds to settle in the province as permanent residents.
The catch is only those who are living in one of these eight countries can qualify: Czechia, Germany, India, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine.
Because Canada’s current policy inviting incompatible cultures who have little to no desire to integrate has worked out so well.
Just think of the ethno-religious conflicts we’d miss out on if we screened for suitability! Assassinations, riots, honor killings!
Such vibrant diversity makes us stronger.
Canadians love being treated like 2nd class citizens in their own nation and understand that immigration policy must always conform to the needs of the corporate and political class.
You gotta break a few eggs to depress wages, create housing shortages and foment a fearful balkanized society I always say.
But here’s the rub, Trudeau has turned Canada into such a shithole state that the majority of “permanent residents” no longer desire to become citizens:
In 2021, nearly 45.7 per cent of permanent residents who’d been in Canada for less than 10 years became citizens.
That’s down from 60 per cent in 2016, and 75.1 per cent in 2001.
But of course the Star finds an “expert” who argues the old system is working just fine. Fine in the sense that today’s immigrants are not the old immigrants and are more likely to use Canada only as a safe place to park their money before moving on to greener pastures.
Fine in the sense the government is so inept they lost track of a million migrants thus grossly understating the housing and infrastucture crisis.
That’s a great return on investment.
A university branch of a right-wing Dutch student organisation has returned to its daily activities after being attacked by left-wing militants earlier this week. Members of the Groot-Nederlandse Studentenvereniging (GNSV), a Dutch fraternity for students with “national feeling” were forced to defend themselves after being set upon by a large gang of ‘antifascists’ at an introduction week at Radboud University in the city of Nijmegen in southern Netherlands.
If you are an American who depends on the U.S. and other English-language media for news about continental European politics—and most Americans obviously do—then you might well be afraid that a wave of fascism is poised to sweep Europe.
The European Conservative, obviously, is a great source of news and information about Europe for our American readers—and I hope with this column to help American conservatives better understand what’s going on with the European Right—because there are very few venues for them to do so.
American and British news agencies are reporting that the ‘far-right’ party VOX is likely to do well in this weekend’s Spanish elections. The ‘far-right’ Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is surging in German opinion polls. It seems like just yesterday that the “far-right” party of Giorgia Meloni topped Italian elections. ‘Far-right’ parties are key to governing coalitions in Finland and Sweden.
The state intelligence chief in Saxony, one of the former states of the German Democratic Republic, has labeled Germans seeking to escape the multiculturalism of big cities for the more tranquil countryside ‘right-wing extremists.’
Dirk-Martin Christian, the president of the Saxon Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV)—the East German state’s domestic intelligence agency—smeared those fleeing the “multicultural life” of large urban areas in search of an “intact national community” in more “remote areas” as radical extremists, the Berlin-based newspaper Die Welt reports.
Attacks on police and emergency services during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in ethnically diverse urban areas across Germany have given rise to a new immigration debate.
The dramatic scenes of streets ablaze to the sound of gunfire from blank-firing pistols as fireworks, stones and bottles were hurled at the police and emergency service workers shocked many. For two years the sale of fireworks had been banned in an attempt to prevent large gatherings and curb the spread of the coronavirus. This year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations have again reignited the debate about a potential ban on the sale of fireworks.
Eyewitnesses among police and firefighters spoke of unprecedented violence against them, calling for better protection.
This is the fruit of Mass Immigration, Diversity and Multiculturalism. It only ever gets worse.
No one is a racist who opposes the imposition of incompatible alien cultures on his own nation.
Bear in mind that DW, the article source, brazenly lies in the fashion of our own Government media.
THE recent TCW article by Piers Shepherd about the 1982 Falklands campaign prompted me to develop a theme that had been taking shape in my mind. When Argentina invaded the islands I was an instructor flying Hawker Hunters at the RAF’s Tactical Weapons Unit at RAF Brawdy on the Pembrokeshire coast. Having myself been an operational Harrier pilot in the 1970s I was listed among the former Harrier men who would be ‘refreshed’ to ensure a supply of replacement pilots in the event of a prolonged campaign. The Argentinian forces surrendered and hostilities ceased before I was needed.
If there is one idea that unites the American Left and motivates its public policy positions it is anti-nationalism. Anti-nationalism pervades the Left’s domestic and foreign policy preferences. This is one reason why the Left so vigorously opposed President Trump’s “America First” agenda, but the Left’s antipathy to nationalism precedes Trump and what some call “Trumpism.” In fact, the Left has used Trump in an effort to delegitimize nationalism, and it appears to be working.
Canadians have been reluctant to probe how ethnicity affects politics. It’s finally opening up
In the U.S. polls are run constantly into the political preferences of voters based on ethnicity, in addition to gender, age, religion and other demographics.
Race-based politics has long been established in multi-ethnic cities like Chicago, New York and Miami. American pundits have also analyzed how religion and ethnicity combine, particularly since 1960 when 80 per cent of Catholics of European descent voted for John F. Kennedy.
The elite use mass immigration and official multiculturalism to balkanize Canada.
All mainstream political parties in Canada are guilty of engaging in identity politics.
Disagree and you will be labeled a racist.
