Culture Shock in Trump’s Second Term

2 months ago | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

I can understand Meghan McCain’s criticism of first-term President Trump given the shots he took at her famous father, John McCain. Some of them were well deserved, like his vote saving Obamacare. But Meghan was too smart and patriotic to last as a co-hostess on The View. She was basically run off the show by the shrieking hens still on it. Since then, she has gradually found her way back rightward, if not quite to MAGA, to the Grand Old Party.
Can Trump Make Hollywood Great Again?

Jan 19, 2025 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

Exactly 45 years ago, during Ronald Reagan’s first Inaugural celebration, Hollywood legends still lived, and even more amazingly, voted Republican. Reagan was friends with most of them, having been a movie star himself, and they turned out in style to cheer him on. The guest roster read like a TCM Film Festival tribute list. Its players are contemptuous of Trump — whom they did everything in their power to defeat — and his dreaded MAGA movement.
The X (Twitter) Factor That Saved America

Jan 12, 2025 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

There was a major aftershock last week from Donald Trump’s landslide election in November — the public conversion by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the cause of free speech. The full brunt of Zuckerberg’s capitulatory announcement of his intention to remove all censorship practices from Facebook has yet to be felt. But the immediate significance is very clear — a total conservative victory, hard earned by Elon Musk. “Buy your own Twitter,” progressives sneered when conservatives complained.
Heroes and Zeroes of 2024 (Trump Reelection Edition)

Dec 29, 2024 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

Hope for the future skyrocketed like an Elon Musk spacecraft at year’s end with the election of Donald Trump. Which heralded not only bright prospects for the greatest nation on Earth, but a blow to the leftist delusions long undermining it. That America is an irredeemable construct of past and present racism, xenophobic borders, environmental damage, toxic men, superior yet somehow still oppressed women, and, most recently, transphobia.
The Christmas Cross to Bear

Dec 22, 2024 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

Some years ago, I took a daytime train trip from London north to Edinburgh, Scotland. I particularly enjoyed the journey as a devotee of English-European literature and history. Because I knew that unlike any route in my much younger country, the same land had been traveled by civilized men for well over 2,000 years, since the Roman Empire added Britain well before the birth of Christ.
Trump and the Advent of the Pax Americana

Dec 8, 2024 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

There is a new sense of tranquility this Advent that may resemble that of the very first one two millennia ago. Shortly before the birth of Our Lord, the Roman republic was rocked by civil wars, assassinations, and much insecurity. Its greatest champion, Julius Caesar, lay dead, mortally stabbed by politicians desperate to preserve a tottering government, and Roman rule was up for grabs. Despite the myriad forces against him, Trump succeeded in improving the country on every front.
MAGA Animal House

Dec 1, 2024 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

“We know folly and evil when we see it,” X-posted the great American novelist Walter Kirn last week. “That is why literature and drama speak across time and across cultures.” Cinema certainly qualifies. And comic cinema may have the longest, deepest reach of all. At least it used to before Hollywoke killed the genre and wounded the art form. And few films have been more prophetic of the Trump Effect than one of the best screen farces ever made, National Lampoon's Animal House.
A Happier Thanksgiving

Nov 24, 2024 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

This could’ve been a grim Thanksgiving. Spent lamenting the further, faster decline of a glorious nation under re-empowered bad leadership. To the bluster of friends, relatives, and media types cheering her downfall. Many of them hostile to American traditions, beginning with the feast day they’re supposedly celebrating. But conservatives know there’s a God. And He just saved America from great darkness. Thanksgiving history is tragedy to the Left.

Trump Victory Is the American Counter-Reformation

Nov 10, 2024 | spectator.org | Lou Aguilar

Something beautiful happened last week. The bells of Notre Dame rang for the first time since a terrible fire consumed the magnificent cathedral, originally completed in 1260 for the glory of God, five years ago. To a poetic mind, the chimes reverberated the cheering across the Atlantic after the landslide electoral victory of Donald Trump. Christendom may be dying in Europe, but Tuesday in America, it expanded. Catholics….
