Chronicles Magazine

For almost 40 years, The Rockford Institute has published its leading monthly magazine, Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. Under the direction of editors Chilton Williamson, Jr., Scott P. Richert, and Aaron D. Wolf, Chronicles has been a strong advocate for Western Christian values. This unique magazine strives to reach and influence those in positions of power. A significant portion of its readership—about one-third—holds advanced academic degrees and includes a diverse group of individuals such as authors, filmmakers, university educators, teachers, homeschooling parents, business leaders, government analysts, journalists, religious figures, and politicians. Patrick J. Buchanan, a former presidential candidate, praised Chronicles as “the toughest, best-written, and most insightful journal in America.” One venture capitalist mentioned that Chronicles is more effective than all investment newsletters in anticipating social and cultural shifts, while a bestselling thriller author noted it as “the magazine I read first.” In March 2000, the Chicago Tribune highlighted, “There are few magazines as intellectually stimulating as Chronicles.”

Is Florida still where woke goes to die? If you ask the craven cowards who inhabit the University of Florida’s Board of Trustees, the answer appears to be a resounding “No.” On Tuesday, the woke-wavering trustees of Florida’s flagship public university unanimously voted to confirm Santa J. Ono, until recently the DEI-crazed president of the University of Michigan, as UF’s next president.
The Latest ‘Mission Impossible’ Is a Movie That Missed the Vibe Shift

1 week ago | chroniclesmagazine.org | Gage Klipper

We’ve come to expect very little from our “big summer blockbusters.” Gone are the days of Jaws, E.T., and Indiana Jones, films as visually exhilarating as they were culturally resonant. Today, you’re just lucky to escape tone-deaf politics and a tedious three-hour run time. Yet Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, the eighth and capstone installment of the Tom Cruise-led franchise, fails to deliver even that much. It’s not enough to say Final Reckoning is bad; it certainly is.

The Joker Is Wild: Some Thoughts on Trumpian Humor

1 week ago | chroniclesmagazine.org | Jeff Minick

Surely one of Donald Trump’s most positive attributes is his sense of humor. He’s probably the funniest president in American history.. When Trump first proposed changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, I laughed out loud, believing he was joking. Nope. When he suggested making Greenland a state or some sort of protectorate, I laughed again, though this time I knew he was serious.
Michael Ledeen, RIP

The neoconservative foreign policy analyst and scholar Michael Ledeen died on Saturday. I am sorely grieved by his death, even though we differed on some of his hallmark positions such as his support for the invasion of Iraq. As one can imagine, I am no fan of the Committee for the Defense of Democracy or the other neoconservative organizations with which Michael was associated.
