As readers of American Carnage may recall, I decided some time ago to no longer subsidize the whitewashing of Britain’s colonial atrocities by watching shows like The Crown. Regarding the current batch of “royals”, my… Read More »My New (Only) Favorite Royal
First, because I’m a stickler for “full disclosure”, I confess that I’m writing this post wearing pink sneakers and a tutu. The Republicans have decided that in April 2021, after a year in which a… Read More »The Great Republican Freakout About Transsexuals
