Nor can we forfeit the intrepid spirit that has guided America’s rise to greatness among nations. Mindful of the situation, Anthony Esolen pens the feature article in the November issue of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. His piece, “Hope for America,” does not depict an idyllic future. Neither is it a yearning for a false utopia.
Instead, it is an appeal to reason. An admission at once of America’s missteps as well as a statement of praise for her towering achievements…and for her enduring promise and beauty. In its totality, what Esolen articulates is at once a call to hope and a call to arms. A paean to an American restoration.

Even as Esolen gives us reason to carry on, we cannot leave go the imperative to address corrosives in our culture. To this end, it is important we remain steely-eyed about the forces that attack American integrity and diminish her prospects.

Along a corollary path, “Slavery as a Political Construct” by Alexander Riley reviews two scholarly critiques of the deliberately ideological “1619 Project,” one coming from a Marxist perspective, the other from a conservative viewpoint, both dismissive of the piece as unworthy of serious scholarly study.

Taking the pulse of a failing society, Roger D. McGrath’s “California Exodus” talks of the rise and fall in favor of the state of California prior to and since the imposition of Democratic governance. As observed, California experiences one of the highest exit rates for citizens (and businesses). Meanwhile, the state also leads or is near to the top of the list of states for homelessness, public debt, tax rates, and failing infrastructure.
