I’m happy to announce that Ron Unz has invited me to blog for The Unz Review.
This will provide an elegant, modern platform for my regular blogging. All my iSteve.blogspot.com archives, including your immense number of comments, have been copied over to this site www.unz.com/iSteve — Ron says that the archives add up to close to 50 million words.
No doubt there will be some initial transition issues, but we expect my blogging to proceed as before, just with the opportunity to exploit some more contemporary features.
You’ll find below another half dozen new blog posts.
These buttons register your public Agreement, Disagreement, Troll, or LOL with the selected comment. They are only available to recent, frequent commenters who have saved their Name+Email using the 'Remember My Information' checkbox, and may also only be used once per hour.
Needs to be a double fence, separated by about 100 feet full of sensors, with the border patrol patrolling between them, so that even if somebody breaches or gets over the first, they are sitting ducks while trying to breach the second.
When somebody attacks you or spits on you or insults you terribly, you can either attack him or leave him. You can do the same if someone makes a pass at you that triggers a strong rejection. But, if the “invasion” or crossing of the boundaries is ambiguous enough, then you enter a sort of mi...
Our whole world as we know it is held together entirely by ideas and concepts that are 99%+ discredited. If they admit one black racial hate crime then that means blacks can be racist, racial animus is real and you can't blame it all on White people, races are different and incompatible... the wh...
Technical term is AAVE, African-American Vernacular English. It actually has a few features Standard English doesn't--phases for describing different parts of an action in the present, for example.
Section 8 and the recent spate of "fair housing" edicts have made avoiding "crime" and finding good public schools more challenging than just moving it to the right the zip code.
That’s about $2.5 million per mile. A very effective fence....It’s basically built with rebar and razor wire,”
This will never fly in America. Not enough opportunities for graft. We need around 700 more miles of fence, so that's less than $2 billion. The F-35 program will cost $1.5 TR...
Los Angeles has lots and lots of flat neighborhoods, but gentrifiers have typically shunned them for a lack of borders. This seems like a coordination problem that social media could overcome.
Straights inta Compton.
Well, it's usually gays first until the coast is clear.
“it’s just as Belloc said, Europe is the faith and the faith is Europe . Europe will return to the faith or Europe will perish.” – I agree with Belloc. But I do not think that Europe will return to the faith.
That is in God's hands. We don't know. Revival can spring up afresh at any time...
Isn't "gentrification" a microaggression?
No, seriously. Based as it is on the word "gentry," meaning "people of education and good breeding," doesn't it perfectly fit the definition of something "that has no malicious intent, but that can be interpreted as 'hostile or destructive'?"
More broa...
The “barrier” fence between Israel and Egypt was built from 2011 to 2013 after thousands of Africans surged in...
A wall to keep out Africans? Africans? How racist is that? Quick, somebody call the New York Times so that they can do a front-page report on the racist Israeli fence!
Union Ironworkers make between $65 to $125 an hour. Much of our wall must be pre-cast in the factory or the cost will be staggering.
Frankly, these could be manufactured easily with welding robots.
"cranberries, blueberries, moose" - all these were also native to Europe.
"The turkeys the Pilgrims ate were the wild turkeys of New England, not the domestic fowl of Mexico." - No, they later cross bread the wild turkeys with Mexican ones they brought form England.

“This perception is fascinating, as it stands in stark contrast to data on almost any outcome that has been assessed,” the researchers, Samuel Sommers and Michael Norton, wrote on the Post Everything blog in July. “From life expectancy to school discipline to mortgage rejection to police us...
Those White SOBs.
They move into a neighborhood and drive up property values.
OK I get it about cleaning the trash out of the yard when they move in, but they even do BS like planting flowers.
What is it with those people? ;)
It can only be a brutal and “effective” (arguably ineffective, and a symptom of a profoundly dysfunctional culture) category in a specific cultural context. So I disagree that there is cognitive dissonance in this instance, because Western concepts of honor and shame are very different from o...
On a positive note, the reactions to the piece in the comments section at WaPo is overwhelmingly negative, to both the writer and his opinions.
The word "hack", as in the writer is a hack or the piece is a hack job, is coming up alot.
Oh, I get it. Racism is determined by direction. If you're running AWAY from high-crime areas, it's Racism. If you're running TOWARD places with low (or falling) crime, it's Gentrification, which is permissible.
Maybe instead of "white flight," we should call it "gentrifying the countryside."
I watched that video, and I have watched other videos of blacks going feral, and for the life of me I usually cannot understand more than 3 or 4 stray words in the dialogue. Young, feral, urban black youth really are speaking a new, distinct language.
Well... people of different intelligence ...
There is (surprisingly) little spillover (at least in murders) from the black community to the white. 1,000 black people can kill each other on the South Side and it won't affect the people living in Lincoln Park.
"The BBC report ends with:
“The incident has provoked a strong reaction on Twitter, especially among the alt-right – the fringe group that celebrated US President-elect Trump’s election win with Nazi salutes.”
So the BBC believes if you are against special needs White people being kid...
NY and LA (and DC for politics) suck up all the celebrity oxygen and it's only gotten worse (back in the early days of TV there were shows that originated in Chicago, Philadelphia, etc.) just as it seemed (until Trump) that in recent years all Presidents, all S. Ct Justices, etc. had to come onl...
iSteve: Perhaps on the Wrong Side of History, but on the right side of reality.
Email me at SteveSlr *at* aol*dot*com (make the obvious substitutions between the asterisks; you don’t have to capitalize an email address, I just included the capitals to make clear the logic — it’s my name without a space and without the vowels in “Sailer” that give so many people, especially irate commenters, trouble.)

I always appreciate my readers’ help, especially monetary. Here’s how you can help:
First: You can use PayPal (non-tax deductible) by going to the page on my old blog here. PayPal accepts most credit cards. Contributions can be either one-time only, monthly, or annual.

P.O Box 4142
Valley Village, CA 91617-0142
Third: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring “subscription” donations.) Note: the VDARE site goes up and down on its own schedule, so if this link stops working, please let me know.
I’m using Coinbase as a sort of PayPal for Bitcoins.
The IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I’m having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.
Payments are not tax deductible.
Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.
Fifth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.
Sixth: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Seventh: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address(that’s isteveslrATgmail .com — replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here’s the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: “You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.” You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don’t need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone — the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google’s free Gmail email service. Here’s how to do it.
Nice new digs. Can we get an RSS feed?
