The 2015 iSteve Male of the Year award goes to a man who vividly represents so many facets of the American male in the 21st Century: his diversity, vagueness, obscure heritage, strange destiny, poverty, multiculturalism, dreams of violence, feelings of guilt, terrible job, worse friends, professional cuckoldry, and vague, gnawing awareness that he’s just a hapless patsy in much larger schemes that, if he could only understand them, would turn out to be even stupider than he is.
A portrait of the 2015 iSteve Male of the Year is below the fold:
Enrique Marquez
Harsh, but fair!
He’s pretty much an icon of the last 25 years.
Outstanding.
HA I knew it! If this isn’t a movie I don’t know what is!
Bravo! I look forward to his recognition at the DOTR.
Haha. Great sentence.
Hurrah! Clinton-Marquez 2016! USA! USA!
Uh, that is what is known as Gay Face.
Hilarious facial expression. “Me win award? That’s unpossible!”
How about the runner-up – Jeb Bush.
Steve has written about Jeb’s love of Mexico and how he speaks Spanish at home. If English has become his second language then it’s likely that he’s losing fluency in English which results in this type of comment:
Is Jeb painting himself in a flattering light?
" vague, gnawing awareness that he’s just a hapless patsy in much larger schemes that, if he could only understand them, would turn out to be even stupider than he is," which seems an apt description of Jeb!!!'s campaign for President. But I believe Steve is reserving Jeb!!! for his special edition, which will be in Spanish, of course, for "the Winner of the 2015 Male of the Year for Mexico Award."
Perfect.
Pajama-boy is in tears. How could you! At least give out a Caitlyn Jenner bravery award.
if his parents had stayed in mexico, this wouldn’t have happened. mexico doesn’t let people scam their immigration system so easily. no sympathy.
Clockmed will be very disappointed. He had worked so hard for this award and now this guy come sweeping in like this. Luckily though, thanks to the lawsuit we haven’t heard the last from Clockmed. Better luck next year, young man!
Is this the first annual award btw? If it is I would like to retroactively nominate Haven Monahan for Male of the Year 2014. I just hope he shows up to claim his award.
With an expression that “happy” shouldn’t he be planning his gay wedding?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Steffens
“I have seen the future, and it works”
Hmmm…. works not.
Whatever happens to Marquez, please don’t rob him of the chance to see
STAR WEALTH: PURSE OPENS.
Indeed, it is a RIGHT. (And he should have starred in it, though I’m not sure as hero or villain.)
Steffens apparently wrote the Mexican constitution as well. Man, that guy had a knack.
This is the talent pool I have to hire out of in LA. They are as dumb as they look.
Magnificent.
Chrissake, Steve, you nailed . . . something! That massive intro sentence crystallizes a whole lot of poop many of us put up with because there seems no real alternative. Then, that Howdy Doody face, almost like something emerging from America the Totally Weirded-Out when you consider what the guy’s been implicated in. Maybe you could repro that photo as a poster overprinted with target rings, but, hey, that could probably be misconstrued somehow by somebody somewhere for some reason. Sure, Enrique Marquez as Man of the Year, why not?
Hasn't anyone seen actress America Ferrera ("Ugly Betty")? They're twins, separated at birth!
And isn't Ms. Ferrera of Central American heritage? There must be a part of the world where people have that look to them.
The whole Farook saga would actually be comedy gold were it not for the 14 dead bodies.
Let’s see: the match made in hell (Farook and wife), the patsy
( Marquez), the Russian harlots, etc.
More than a Cohen Brothers film, it rather reminds me of a Seth McFarlane’s American Dad episode.
Is this the first annual award btw? If it is I would like to retroactively nominate Haven Monahan for Male of the Year 2014. I just hope he shows up to claim his award.
2014 was a tie. Haven Monahan and Donald Sterling.
Because that was brilliantly funny and true.
On a related note, truth beats fiction again, not close.
OT:
Hilarious video of Misha Saakskakaashamillvanilli getting into a fight with the Ukrainian Interior minister:
on topic
yes that paragraph contains a lot of densely packed deep awesome
Trying to think who'd play the lead?
He looks like a cross between Rick Moranis and Ricky Ricardo.
Rick Moronis and Ricky Retardo.
Dzhokar was another strange one.
So Americanized and displaying all the themes of neo-Americanism but committed to anti-American violence. (But then, whenever blacks burn down cities, that aint terrorism but demand for justice, so….)
A stoner-slacker Jihadist. Like a cross between Peter Frampton and Bin Laden.
A slacktion hero? Action Heroes are so passe.
I really do feel sorry for that buffoon. Putting him in prison for a very long time seems like a commendable course, but it still saddens me. And “professional cuckoldry” is one of the best phrases of our epoch.
From the description, I thought it would be Jeb.
It’s getting surreal. Because he has so much money in the bank, Jeb is continuing to run advertisements when he should have slunk off the stage at this point. His ads tell us he is a real leader, n ot llike those pretenders, Trump, Cruz, or Rubio. Wake up, America! Your true leader stands before you! Remove the scales from you eyes!
Jeb is the Theon Greyjoy of the current campaign.
Jeesh, for a second there I thought you were talking about me!
No psychotropic drugs? Mr. and Mrs. Shooter had pill bottles.
Marquez is Pajama Boy’s Special Needs brother.
STAR WEALTH: PURSE OPENS. Indeed, it is a RIGHT. (And he should have starred in it, though I'm not sure as hero or villain.)

iSteve,
My hat is off to you. I mean … Enrique Marquez aside, you are alive in the 21st Century and you still know how to use a colon !!! I was close to desperation until I read this. I thought I was alone … the last of the Mohicans. I feel so safe; I feel so inclusive
My hat is off to you. I mean … Enrique Marquez aside, you are alive in the 21st Century and you still know how to use a colon !!! "
I didn't realize that it required any knowledge to use a colon. It's natural. Even babies, who are not famous for their cognitive powers, use their colons without giving them any thought. An entire industry is built upon the healthy working of babies' colons. Just think Pampers or Huggies. The key to potty training children is not controlling the colon but learning to control bowel and bladder muscles. Singling out Steve Sailer for the use of his colon seems a mite excessive to me, although I think I detect the reason for your confusion. You probably thought the "i" in "iSteve" referred to "intestine." The colon, however, is the large intestine, not the small intestine. If Steve was truly referring to his colon (or large intestine), his handle would be "ISteve."
Looks like Steve’s been reading a lot of Heartiste lately.
Good for him.
Only in America.
Wow. Total came outta nowhere come from behind win. Impressive.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Obvious recency bias.
Enrique’s Wedding Song.
Definitely a screamer.
This is going to be like Roissy’s Beta of the Year.
Is he gay?
If he is, than it must be a bummer for him to be living in The Inland Empire, because they do not have as much an active Gay bar nightlife scene as Los Angeles County.
A fraud and cuckold for Islamic terrorism, bringing things full circle.
“Is he gay?”
If he is, than it must be a bummer for him to be living in The Inland Empire, because they do not have as much an active Gay bar nightlife scene as Los Angeles County.
I’m assuming he was born in the USA. Does anyone know how far back his family goes in this nation?
Strange destiny…terrible jobs, worse friends.
Brilliant.

This is what Misha looks like when he’s nervous. And this is Misha in love.
OT, but I’ve just been looking at Jeb!’s Twitter, and the comments are virtually 100% negative
I looked at Kasich, same thing
Cruz and Trump’s comments are overwhelmingly positive.
I imagine Jeb looking at his comments while he cries himself to sleep.
While Billy Kwan rocks him to sleep. After giving him some soothing warm milk.
Comedy gold.
So, basically, he’s the inverse of Harold and Erica from Brooks’ The Social Animal.
Saw his mom on TV, she didn’t speak English, so not far obviously.
Bet Gustavo Arrelano knows him.
You know, your description fits the President pretty well too.
Obama checked a lot of boxes in that description.
What do you mean Howdy Doody face?
Hasn’t anyone seen actress America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”)? They’re twins, separated at birth!
And isn’t Ms. Ferrera of Central American heritage? There must be a part of the world where people have that look to them.
We’re all Enrique.
We're all Hillary.
A good pick, Steve, but I’m a little disappointed Bruce Jenner didn’t at least get a mention.
Why not a few more categories? Female of the year? Father of the year, etc?
Because that was brilliantly funny and true.
Steve has written about Jeb's love of Mexico and how he speaks Spanish at home. If English has become his second language then it's likely that he's losing fluency in English which results in this type of comment:Is Jeb painting himself in a flattering light?
You were obviously led astray by the following comment in Steve’s post:
” vague, gnawing awareness that he’s just a hapless patsy in much larger schemes that, if he could only understand them, would turn out to be even stupider than he is,” which seems an apt description of Jeb!!!’s campaign for President. But I believe Steve is reserving Jeb!!! for his special edition, which will be in Spanish, of course, for “the Winner of the 2015 Male of the Year for Mexico Award.”

Trying to think who’d play the lead?
Shia LaBeouf.
SERIOUSLY.
I’ve tweeted some things about Marquez, but posts like this are punching down.
How about the “Ate Our Lunch” awards?
One of those would go to the illegal aliens who were smart, sane, and focused enough to get people representing them employed by both Hillary and Bernie. Not only did those two employ (speaking loosely; exact legal relationship is probably different) illegal aliens, but they crowed about it.
Those illegal aliens smoked their competition: they got people on the inside while all their mouthbreather opponents could do is be fanboys for someone who makes wild promises he knows he can’t deliver. If their leading opposition were even slightly competent they could have made Hillary and Bernie pay for employing illegal aliens, but their leading opposition can’t even rise to that low level.
But, the top Ate Our Lunch award would go to the administration that let Malik into the U.S. and that will face no repercussions over that. If their opposition didn’t exist, they’d have to invent it just to have some fun with it.
I think that poor guy with the COEXIST bumper sticker who got carjacked by the Bomb Brothers ought to at least get an honorable mention.

So, I can kind-of guess who the Cersei Lannister of the race is….
Let's see: the match made in hell (Farook and wife), the patsy
( Marquez), the Russian harlots, etc.
More than a Cohen Brothers film, it rather reminds me of a Seth McFarlane's American Dad episode.
He reminds me of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
Enrique Marquez is pretty much the antithesis of Haven Monahan along any criteria that comes readily to mind.
On a related note, truth beats fiction again, not close.
He looks like a cross between Rick Moranis and Ricky Ricardo.
Rick Moronis and Ricky Retardo.
“We’re all Enrique.”
We’re all Hillary.

Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, is doing a whole series on the language of the candidates. This isn’t the first time Jeb! has unintentionally mocked himself. And it won’t be his last. Probably the worst candidate in my lifetime.
Keep in mind that the Bush family propaganda, for more years than I can remember, was that Jeb!!! was "the smarter brother," the one who should have been President instead of George W.

Twitter is not a safe space for Jeb!
Your posts are becoming dark.
Can't wait for the ISteve other categories. Female?
Ah yes, that which sends the chill of fear down the spine of so many right wing White guys…..to be a cuckold!!!!
It begins!
So pathetic!
There is still almost two weeks left in the year. Plenty of time for a new contender to arise.
Enrique Marquez converted to Islam and he has a preference for blonde Slavic women. It seems like he really wanted to distance himself from his Mexican Catholic roots. He is a Bosnian Slavic Muslim stuck in a Mexican body.
Becoming?

I was thinking that it kind of reminded me of the movie Bottle Rocket. Except that this guy didn’t even wind up with a hotel maid.

So pathetic!
Homos are called “rifles” in Denmark. Jus’ sayin’.
How many are assault rifles?
So there's that, Reg.
Jeb Bush never becoming president of The United States works out quite well for his wife Columba, because if she is the First Lady than she will have to do a lot more media interviews in English, a language she is not comfortable with.
In Miami she can get away with participating in Spanish only interviews because Miami is not really part of The United States in a cultural and language sense, but she can not get away with only doing Spanish interviews in Washington DC where the vast majority of the population is Non Hispanic.
Donald Trump putting his hat into the presidential race is really a blessing in disguise for Columba. She just dodged a bullet and can now continue to remain in her Hispanic bubble in Miami.
I remember reading that Columba was uncomfortable living in Tallahassee because it is too culturally Southern and not culturally Latin American enough for her. Tallahassee shares more cultural similarities with Alabama than it does to Miami.
“Homos are called ‘rifles’ in Denmark.”
How many are assault rifles?
Help me out here. WHY did Marquez agree to go shoot people. The sham marriage I get, its pathetic, the hope that a hot woman would at least talk to him, chump-mania happens ever day. I can understand a bit of larceny, but straw purchases for a guy talking jihad with what looks to be the ugliest Muslim woman in history, that I can’t. Even the dumbest guy could figure the guns would be traced back to him and there would be big problems.
I *COULD* see a straw purchase for a BIG fee, and vamoosing out of the country, if he was already leaving.
But staying, and planning — shooting up a JC, and the 91 freeway, for what? That’s the frightening thing about Islam. Motivation for low IQ men to kill people they don’t know who are not in any way even aware of them much less a threat. I understand killing for money, for women, for power, all of that. That’s basic human motivation older than the Bible and mined by Shakespeare.
Killing for mention on a Twitter feed and Facebook likes by Jihadis in Syria? That I don’t get. I certainly don’t get it by Marquez.
There are a **LOT** of low IQ men who would like to be on Twitter, or be Instagram villains if not heroes. Islam as inspiring force for murder will turn every place into a kill zone which is a truly frightening thought.

The big news is that Donald Trump said nice things about Putin, and ¡Jeb! said Trump was evil for not condemning Putin. That Putin kills journalists and political opponents, while the US President just kills terrorists. As if Russia could or would do any better than Putin. What, a drunk kleptocrat like Yeltsin or an aging one like Brezhnev? As far as I am concerned if Putin wants to fight ISIS, Turkey, the Gulf Cooperation Council, let him.

Back in the real world, Enrique could not afford an escort in the Los Angeles metropolitan area or travel to Thailand on his Walmart salary.Mexican guys don't usually have a problem getting laid because of their Latin lover reputation, but Enrique Marquez is not your average Mexican.
And Muslims are seen, as happens with every ethnic group the more familiar they become, as falling on a continuum of intelligence and capability, in their case, fairly or not, as somewhat below the average white dude and above most NAMs. We can be heartened by the obvious weakness of any inherent political skill--Muslims will only be as good as whoever's running the Narrative is willing and capable of making them. Of course clock boy Ahmed and the abundance of silly pc responses to San Bernardino demonstrate, there's an enduring willingness to prop them up. It started in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and hasn't really stopped, the reflexive decision to make Muslims the next Minority Group. I've tried to find this old MTV PSA that--I want to confirm if my memory's correct about the timing--aired just days, maybe a week, after 9/11. It's an attractive young woman who we are to take for a Muslim American, complaining about stereotyping; people are supposedly asking her if she's "related to any of the terrorists"; maybe I'm naive, but how many people are stupid enough to ask you that? One, I might believe. Still, the Muslim myth the Left spins for us has gotten bigger, but no better than that stupid, slick piece on MTV.Anyway, the impulse to normalize Muslims within the still optimistic conventional view of US history was habitual. These people have no idea what they're foisting on the US. The Muslim problem goes so far beyond the HBD heresies of group differences in IQ and aggressiveness, which are nonetheless real and negative in consequence here, but to a profoundly opposed religious worldview. No group contributing significantly to the history and demographics of the nation have been this foreign to it, and none by such a long-held, continuing, and as powerful a tradition, as Islam. What in the world are people thinking? Was it something we said, powers-that-be?
Marquez is pretty much San Bernardino. Unsettling, goofy, pathetic,empty, poor, alienated, but tolerable. Tolerable because Mexicans' biggest talent is tolerance and being tolerated. Likable losers.

Even more better this maroon’s campaign website has been selling “guac bowls” for $75
I don’t understand. What’s “poverty” got to do with Mr Obama?
For newbies. That he was paid for a sham marriage to a Russian woman wanting legal US residency and she wouldn’t give him the time of day. Not even once! He never made it with her though this is what he figured on….at least something! But he got nothing except some monthly cash payments and if she had any decent Russian friends they would have given him a beating and cut off the money.
She should have contacted the Russian mafia to pay a visit to Enrique Marquez.
My candidate is Kevin Sutherland, the Democrat DC staffer who was butchered to death by one Jasper Spires in a DC metro train car.
Sutherland was knifed so hard by Spires that his liver literally fell out and hit the floor of the train car.
There’s a moral there – surely – for all those who think.
“if she had any decent Russian friends they would have given him a beating and cut off the money.”
She should have contacted the Russian mafia to pay a visit to Enrique Marquez.
You neglected to mention his obesity. One could say that’s the icing on the cake.

Maybe it’s time people starting using ‘¿Jeb?’ instead of ‘¡Jeb!’.
The majority of 20 something, male Wal-Mart employees live empty lives of involuntary celibacy and functional nihilism. Say what you like about radical Islam, but at least it’s an ethos. Americas’s young, male demographic is a sucking, dark, spriritual void waiting to be filled. ISIS could turn an army from the minions of the Walton family overnight with a halfway credible promise of getting them laid and giving them some meaning or purpose beyond World of Warcraft.
The one thing that can keep Americans of so many different backgrounds united is Christianity. Even the unbelieving can go along nodding their heads and being polite. Islam, however, doesn't play that game. They will use our politeness and Golden Rule against us until they get whatever they want.
Two thoughts: No more Muslims. Atheists and agnostics, stop trying to stamp out Christianity; You need us more than you realize.

I’m thinking Marquez is just some combination of dim-witted and emotionally stunted. But the motivation of Jihadists makes them punch above their weight in terror. One, or maybe the central, reason we’re always flogged with the “white mass murderer” cliche it’s because the perception white guys are just so much better at it.
And Muslims are seen, as happens with every ethnic group the more familiar they become, as falling on a continuum of intelligence and capability, in their case, fairly or not, as somewhat below the average white dude and above most NAMs. We can be heartened by the obvious weakness of any inherent political skill–Muslims will only be as good as whoever’s running the Narrative is willing and capable of making them.

In other words, Steve's making fun of a guy with a mental illness who was exploited by a murderer and now could not be more sorry.
Frankly I think this post is pretty sick.
It's a human failing* that is most particular to their class, like sickle-cell for African-Americans.
And from that point of view, religious people and worldviews are to be patronized, not taken seriously, as either threat or opportunity.
* - it is a failing (for them) in that (at minimum) there is a decent negative correlation between such views and effective leadership.
“This isn’t the first time Jeb! has unintentionally mocked himself. And it won’t be his last. Probably the worst candidate in my lifetime.”
Keep in mind that the Bush family propaganda, for more years than I can remember, was that Jeb!!! was “the smarter brother,” the one who should have been President instead of George W.
And Muslims are seen, as happens with every ethnic group the more familiar they become, as falling on a continuum of intelligence and capability, in their case, fairly or not, as somewhat below the average white dude and above most NAMs. We can be heartened by the obvious weakness of any inherent political skill--Muslims will only be as good as whoever's running the Narrative is willing and capable of making them. Of course clock boy Ahmed and the abundance of silly pc responses to San Bernardino demonstrate, there's an enduring willingness to prop them up. It started in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and hasn't really stopped, the reflexive decision to make Muslims the next Minority Group. I've tried to find this old MTV PSA that--I want to confirm if my memory's correct about the timing--aired just days, maybe a week, after 9/11. It's an attractive young woman who we are to take for a Muslim American, complaining about stereotyping; people are supposedly asking her if she's "related to any of the terrorists"; maybe I'm naive, but how many people are stupid enough to ask you that? One, I might believe. Still, the Muslim myth the Left spins for us has gotten bigger, but no better than that stupid, slick piece on MTV.Anyway, the impulse to normalize Muslims within the still optimistic conventional view of US history was habitual. These people have no idea what they're foisting on the US. The Muslim problem goes so far beyond the HBD heresies of group differences in IQ and aggressiveness, which are nonetheless real and negative in consequence here, but to a profoundly opposed religious worldview. No group contributing significantly to the history and demographics of the nation have been this foreign to it, and none by such a long-held, continuing, and as powerful a tradition, as Islam. What in the world are people thinking? Was it something we said, powers-that-be?
Agree, but to be less vague the term is dissociation. Which itself is kind of hard to pin down in the literature, but put best its the sense or feeling that what you are doing is less real than reality. This is why he flipped out when he saw that we had done had become a reality.
In other words, Steve’s making fun of a guy with a mental illness who was exploited by a murderer and now could not be more sorry.
Frankly I think this post is pretty sick.
But how "limited" can this man be, and how Muslim can he be, after he found out about the consequences of his actions that he 1) went on a drinking binge, 2) started crying with the 9-1-1 operator, and 3) "spilled his guts" to the FBI?
This guy's level of terrorism doesn't even rise to the level of the "free as a bird, guilty as sin" university professor pal of the President. I think he was harboring the adolescent fantasy of "wouldn't it be cool to blow stuff up" much as he was fantasizing about "making it with a girl" without regarding that either of those events would ever take place.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would say "I accepting money to harbor a Russian here illegally, and I am sharing my guns with these two Middle Easterners", but then that would be "profiling", now wouldn't it, and our betters have been trying to educate us to harbor such prejudice
That he engaged in his cathartic confession to the FBI suggests, again, that he is not very bright but that he at least has a moral compass. In this day and age of "what you say can and will be used against you in a court of law", tough-on-crime prosecutors, and the neutering of Constitutional jury nullification, no attempt will be made to make a wise decision of just what is the appropriate level of punishment for this guy.
His transcendental cleverness gets people to look at that which is not supposed to be noticed but yet needs noticing.

Lot of comments being thrown Jeb Bush’s way-and for good reason. However, note that he’s still holding out as a candidate. He expects to be the last man standing after Trump gets taken down in one way or another. Maybe he knows something we don’t know. It wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up being the party candidate.
I think even Republicans have had their fill of Bushes. But I hope Jeb!!! feels the same way you do---and I would bet a lot of money Trump agrees with me. The longer Jeb!!! stays in the race the longer consolidation is postponed. Even though Jeb!!! is getting consistently low poll ratings, it's better for Trump that those few votes go to Jeb!!! than to another candidate, fattening his total.
Me neither. As I remember, John McCain was counted down and out in the fall of 2007, and he came back (with massive infusions of cash from the his programmers, uh, donors) in 2008. Bush could bounce back too if Rubio flames out. I don't think that Cruz can convince enough people to vote for him, with his shifty, weaselly voice and appearence. And I don't see people voting for Kasich or the fat-man.
Yep, no matter what you think of Trump, he has completely disrupted the coronation of Jeb in the Republican line of succession, otherwise known as my turn now.
How many are assault rifles?
Only the tops.
And homo Elton John’s given name is Reginald Dwight.
So there’s that, Reg.
There's a fun passage in singer Linda Lewis's memoirs where the young Elton is distraught that he will never have children. Linda, a close friend from their poor-struggling-artist days, bravely offered to bear his child for him. And if the process made him uncomfortable, then she was quite willing to do it with a bottle.
As Elton later sang,
Knowing you can always count on me, for
sure
That's what friends are for
I believe that to do full justice to Steve Sailer’s prestigious award Steve should do either of two things: (1) announce that there will be no awards ceremony or (2) schedule an awards ceremony and then announce it has been cancelled. Only in such a way can he fully honor Enrique Marquez’s “achievements” justifying his being named as 2015 Man of Year:
(1) he purchased assault rifles he didn’t use himself;
(2) he married a Russian woman and didn’t consummate the marriage;
(3) he planned two terrorist attacks with the Farook guy, one in 2011 and one in 2012, that never took place (but which he confessed to police);
(4) he converted to Islam but never practiced the religion.
There may be countless others, but those stand out.
All in all, Enrique Martinez has a remarkable record of nonaccomplishment. He is deserving at least of a phony “Maltese Falcon,” the “stuff that dreams are made of.” I think a paper mache version painted (with an embedded brick to give it weight) with gold colored paint would be most appropriate.
OT – except maybe these Dutch guys make better candidates for men of the year. Check out the two videos here:

A bunch of politicians in Gedermalsen, Netherlands got together with a bunch of Muslims to discuss building a giant “refugee” complex for them. Out of a total population of 10,000 for the town, about 2,000 very able-bodied young Dutch men crashed through police barricades, driving the police before them, invaded the hall and drove out the politicians and their Muslims, all running in total panic. Be sure to watch both videos. The first from the perspective of the police, and the second from the perspective of the politicians. Merry Christmas!
It’s Pat! (with a bit more teeth).

Sutherland was knifed so hard by Spires that his liver literally fell out and hit the floor of the train car.
There's a moral there - surely - for all those who think.
That one went down the memory hole instantly, even on local news. My favorite part is there were thirty or so other passengers on the car, and not only did nothing to help, afterwards handed over their wallets and watches to the murderer. Almost makes me believe that a couple of guys with razor knives could actually hijack four planes. Almost.

Yes, NC, you nailed it.
The one thing that can keep Americans of so many different backgrounds united is Christianity. Even the unbelieving can go along nodding their heads and being polite. Islam, however, doesn’t play that game. They will use our politeness and Golden Rule against us until they get whatever they want.
Two thoughts: No more Muslims. Atheists and agnostics, stop trying to stamp out Christianity; You need us more than you realize.
Time to retire Little Archie.
We need Little Marquez.
Most men(?) in their 20s seem gay to me, but then I find out they have girlfriends. (Or, in this case forlorn love for his fake wife).
It wouldn’t surprise me if , should a Republican not named “Trump” win in 2016, he will magically turn his margin of victory – based upon his being neither Hillary nor Trump, and not much else – into a “mandate” to wage war on Putin.
All at the behest of the only Middle Easterners to back every horse in every race, of course.
A sides_ick.
Doing terror that Americans won’t do.
Mexicans so lacking in initiative that, in the absence of Anglos to work for, they must follow the lead of some other group.
Enrico Suavay looks like a Mexican Al Franken.
This is why the studios release their Oscar-bait movies in December–to catch the attention of Academy voters.
So, successful and connected Hispanics like Rubio take orders from Jews, and unsuccessful and disconnected Hispanics like Marquez take orders from Muslims.
Rubio: make me president and I’ll supply Pentagon with all the arms it needs to smash Russia and Iran.
Marquez: be my friend and get me a Russian bride(even if only as make-believe), and I’ll buy some assault rifles for you.
Sick, sad, and hilarious.
He finally found something he could excel at: being a complete, total, and utter f*** up.
Exactly. As long as he has donors he’s in the race. A political party has nothing to do with democracy.
on topic
yes that paragraph contains a lot of densely packed deep awesome
Trying to think who'd play the lead?
“Trying to think who’d play the lead?”
Shia LaBeouf.
SERIOUSLY.
Enrique’s life is a cruddy walk on part in a straight to video Gabriel Iglesias comedy.
Have you all noticed that our host, Mr Unz, has more or less endorsed the “false flag” position on the San Bernardino shoot-up?
Check out the Gary North (!) Post that he front-paged a couple of days ago. And check out the guys he sides with in the comments on that post.
My hat is off to you. I mean ... Enrique Marquez aside, you are alive in the 21st Century and you still know how to use a colon !!! I was close to desperation until I read this. I thought I was alone ... the last of the Mohicans. I feel so safe; I feel so inclusive :-)
“iSteve,
My hat is off to you. I mean … Enrique Marquez aside, you are alive in the 21st Century and you still know how to use a colon !!! ”
I didn’t realize that it required any knowledge to use a colon. It’s natural. Even babies, who are not famous for their cognitive powers, use their colons without giving them any thought. An entire industry is built upon the healthy working of babies’ colons. Just think Pampers or Huggies. The key to potty training children is not controlling the colon but learning to control bowel and bladder muscles. Singling out Steve Sailer for the use of his colon seems a mite excessive to me, although I think I detect the reason for your confusion. You probably thought the “i” in “iSteve” referred to “intestine.” The colon, however, is the large intestine, not the small intestine. If Steve was truly referring to his colon (or large intestine), his handle would be “ISteve.”
I *COULD* see a straw purchase for a BIG fee, and vamoosing out of the country, if he was already leaving.
But staying, and planning -- shooting up a JC, and the 91 freeway, for what? That's the frightening thing about Islam. Motivation for low IQ men to kill people they don't know who are not in any way even aware of them much less a threat. I understand killing for money, for women, for power, all of that. That's basic human motivation older than the Bible and mined by Shakespeare.
Killing for mention on a Twitter feed and Facebook likes by Jihadis in Syria? That I don't get. I certainly don't get it by Marquez.
There are a **LOT** of low IQ men who would like to be on Twitter, or be Instagram villains if not heroes. Islam as inspiring force for murder will turn every place into a kill zone which is a truly frightening thought.
-------------
The big news is that Donald Trump said nice things about Putin, and ¡Jeb! said Trump was evil for not condemning Putin. That Putin kills journalists and political opponents, while the US President just kills terrorists. As if Russia could or would do any better than Putin. What, a drunk kleptocrat like Yeltsin or an aging one like Brezhnev? As far as I am concerned if Putin wants to fight ISIS, Turkey, the Gulf Cooperation Council, let him.
According to DailyMail article, Marquez stated he bought guns 3 years ago for Farook. Didn’t suspect the intended use, I suppose.
Marquez is pretty much San Bernardino. Unsettling, goofy, pathetic,empty, poor, alienated, but tolerable. Tolerable because Mexicans’ biggest talent is tolerance and being tolerated. Likable losers.
Thank you, Steve, for allowing this controversial icon to emerge among a bevy of equally qualified candidates. Your decision took insight as well as nerve. With Christmas approaching, we have a lot to be thank for.
Yes, diversity is our lasting strength. The good news is that the Weinstein Brothers’ lesbian themed ‘Carol’ is up for five Golden Globe nominations and don’t forget that Quentin Tarrentino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’ will be opening on Christmas Day at a theater near you. Christmas day! We have much to be thankful for.
On top of that, the IMF predicts a 2.1% rise in GDP in 2016 with the unemployment rate holding steady at only 5.6%. And the Fed funds rate will remain below 4%. More good news.
It also looks as if ISIS will be defeated and elections held. Also, the Panthers are on track to win their first Superbowl! Let freedom ring. We are a nation of immigrants committed to advancing democracy no matter what the cost. G-d bless you and G-d bless our great nation.

Frankly I think this post is pretty sick.
I have known many “dim witted and emotionally stunted” individuals throughout my life, but none of them, as far as I know, was ever connected to a mass slaying. In fact, you don’t necessarily have to be dim witted to be responsible for violence and mass slayings. The principals of the famous book “The Best and the Brightest” were the cream of Harvard, Yale and MIT who were responsible for the disaster in Vietnam that resulted in more than 50,000 dead Americans and an untold number of dead Vietnamese and Cambodians. I believe President Obama’s good friend from his Chicago days, Bill Ayers, was a member in his younger days, along with his wife, of a pretty violent group that was protesting that war back in the 60′s and 70′s. Leopold and Loeb were supposedly very bright kids.
Only in America.
ONLY IN AMERICA the Comic Version.
In regards to the original post's pic of Marquez, I thought he did a credible impersonation of Jerry Lewis: Hey, lady!!!
Joel Grey’s very effeminate character in “Cabaret”? The Harlequin character from classical theater? Maybe an inset candid snapshot of a 1930s frat boy in a “Life” magazine photo essay, “‘Life’ Goes to Sigma Chi”, maybe in the same issue with updates on WPA projects for journalistic punch? Marquez’s appearance looks like it’s from somewhere else, almost posed.
Maybe the photo would work as a small poster, with Steve’s intro sentence below it as a caption, as a way of promoting “UR” to a discerning readership. Many people, I think, would “get it” right away as high-end social criticism.

Steve has written about Jeb's love of Mexico and how he speaks Spanish at home. If English has become his second language then it's likely that he's losing fluency in English which results in this type of comment:Is Jeb painting himself in a flattering light?
“How about the runner-up – Jeb Bush.”
Perfect.
My guess is that this guy is a bewildered, hapless loser with mental problems who is now going to be crucified because the feds want *someone* to hold responsible for the SB shootings, and he’s the best candidate that’s still breathing.
If Caitlyn Jenner can win woman of the year, Hillary should be in the running for man of the year.
there are merits to arranged marriage cultures..a man like enrique would have been married and happy in the middle east with a wife who would cook for him and such. poor poor enrique, surely the judicial system can see that he is probably slightly autstic..cross eyed too.
And Muslims are seen, as happens with every ethnic group the more familiar they become, as falling on a continuum of intelligence and capability, in their case, fairly or not, as somewhat below the average white dude and above most NAMs. We can be heartened by the obvious weakness of any inherent political skill--Muslims will only be as good as whoever's running the Narrative is willing and capable of making them. Of course clock boy Ahmed and the abundance of silly pc responses to San Bernardino demonstrate, there's an enduring willingness to prop them up. It started in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and hasn't really stopped, the reflexive decision to make Muslims the next Minority Group. I've tried to find this old MTV PSA that--I want to confirm if my memory's correct about the timing--aired just days, maybe a week, after 9/11. It's an attractive young woman who we are to take for a Muslim American, complaining about stereotyping; people are supposedly asking her if she's "related to any of the terrorists"; maybe I'm naive, but how many people are stupid enough to ask you that? One, I might believe. Still, the Muslim myth the Left spins for us has gotten bigger, but no better than that stupid, slick piece on MTV.Anyway, the impulse to normalize Muslims within the still optimistic conventional view of US history was habitual. These people have no idea what they're foisting on the US. The Muslim problem goes so far beyond the HBD heresies of group differences in IQ and aggressiveness, which are nonetheless real and negative in consequence here, but to a profoundly opposed religious worldview. No group contributing significantly to the history and demographics of the nation have been this foreign to it, and none by such a long-held, continuing, and as powerful a tradition, as Islam. What in the world are people thinking? Was it something we said, powers-that-be?
“Elites”/powers-that-be have often imagined themselves to be post-religious, above-religion, gods themselves, etc…
It’s a human failing* that is most particular to their class, like sickle-cell for African-Americans.

* – it is a failing (for them) in that (at minimum) there is a decent negative correlation between such views and effective leadership.
Understood but doesn’t touch my point, if it was meant to. All dim witted and emotionally stunted people do not dissociate from reality, and all people who do are not dim and stunted.
I suspect there is a very interesting paper to be written about the inducement of dissociation by social media—first of all facebook—in susceptible young men. I would not be amazed to see one day it said twas as though the thing was designed to do that. That’s an intuitive connection to me, in light of dissociation as a continuum, bu I know I only intuitively know myself.
I had never thought of Leopold in terms of dissociation byway of Nietzsche. Reading Darrows famous argument via wiki that rather seems exactly his missing premise.
I think Marquez should get fourteen counts of voluntary manslaughter and serve 30 years thereabouts, in minimum security because mercy for the mentally ill who repent is just. (No repentance for murder from the insane then probably go burn them at the stake first chance.) But he’ll go down as aiding and thus equivalent to a terrorist, has anyone ever beat a terrorism charge post 9-11? His phone call would seem to be the brightest wild card to have when he gets sentenced. He did exactly what innocence would do as soon as he did.
Not that men, especially in the 16-34ish cohort (the younger ones seem to be handling it better) don't also suffer from it, and from a wider variety of media, much of it explicitly anti-social.
But how "limited" can this man be, and how Muslim can he be, after he found out about the consequences of his actions that he 1) went on a drinking binge, 2) started crying with the 9-1-1 operator, and 3) "spilled his guts" to the FBI?
This guy's level of terrorism doesn't even rise to the level of the "free as a bird, guilty as sin" university professor pal of the President. I think he was harboring the adolescent fantasy of "wouldn't it be cool to blow stuff up" much as he was fantasizing about "making it with a girl" without regarding that either of those events would ever take place.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would say "I accepting money to harbor a Russian here illegally, and I am sharing my guns with these two Middle Easterners", but then that would be "profiling", now wouldn't it, and our betters have been trying to educate us to harbor such prejudice
That he engaged in his cathartic confession to the FBI suggests, again, that he is not very bright but that he at least has a moral compass. In this day and age of "what you say can and will be used against you in a court of law", tough-on-crime prosecutors, and the neutering of Constitutional jury nullification, no attempt will be made to make a wise decision of just what is the appropriate level of punishment for this guy.
Cat piss and porky pines he said polite society. I shall scold you for being a moron beyond an idiot, moron. Dissociation is not an Intellectual Disability precisely because the emotions are detached from the intellect and drowned the understanding. From what I grasp, children turned into killing-field soldiers or abettors thereof are more emotionally vacant than florid of mood, which well-enough suggests why a child-like emotional stunting misleadingly describes this case.
The man is the style so go ahead and mock who you will and then I’ll rate your effort.
I’m not sure the rest of what you said has much to do with what I said but I would recommend some wickedsimplepedia.
My sentiment is that more and better is learned of life from tragedy than comedy, especially when its not funny. Whats funny about his bozo face pic above is what’s saddest to his people. And the thing of it is, no one need be taught that, but only reminded.
In other words, Steve's making fun of a guy with a mental illness who was exploited by a murderer and now could not be more sorry.
Frankly I think this post is pretty sick.
Fun in a sense of comedy so black it is of course tragedy if one can bear to look at it, which is the problem, and thus Steve’s calling.
His transcendental cleverness gets people to look at that which is not supposed to be noticed but yet needs noticing.
My guess would actually be a slight negative correlation (in relative terms), especially among the dim witted.
Facebook? Men? Right.
Not that men, especially in the 16-34ish cohort (the younger ones seem to be handling it better) don’t also suffer from it, and from a wider variety of media, much of it explicitly anti-social.
That photo of Marquez is, I believe, likely doing him some good. It portrays a goofball, not a cold-hearted killer. People still understand that he was part of the plot, but the longer they keep seeing that goofball picture the more sanding off the edges to his crime will result.
Jeb Bush is more culturally Mexican than Enrique Marquez. Jeb married a Mestiza women, converted to Catholicism, and speaks Spanish at home.
Enrique Marquez married a blonde Russian woman, converted to Islam, and his best friends were a Pakistani couple.
Enrique is culturally a Gringo Muslim. He is about as culturally Mexican as Donald Trump.
This is kind of funny. I posted the other day and criticized another poster in part as follows:
” I think Wizard of Ooze bears an uncanny resemblance to Enrique Marquez, Steve Sailer’s Man of the Year for 2015.”
The response I got included this:
“Wizard of Oz says:
December 21, 2015 at 2:51 am GMT • 200 Words
Unless I’ve missed some irony I am delighted to be compared to anyone Steve Sailer may have chosen as man of the year. . . .”
