Earlier (2011): John Derbyshire On Understanding China And The Chinese [Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] Having been writing about China for forty years, I was naturally interested to see what Trump and Biden had to say about the country in last Thursday’s debate. Answer: Nothing with any real insight... Read More
Well, from the lockdown. I hope readers are bearing up OK under confinement. The Derbs are keeping busy. Paid employment aside, she has her beloved flowers and innumerable contacts on WeChat, the ChiCom messaging app. I have home-improvement chores: this month, stripping out and rebuilding a bathroom closet for maximum accessible shelving—nearly 28 square feet...

[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] See also: GOP Plans To Scapegoat China. But That Must Include ENDING CHINESE IMMIGRATION! One thing that, it seems to me, is much more apparent than it was three months ago: we are living in a bipolar world, or soon shall be. I know... Read More
[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] I'm keeping a wary eye on Africa recently. When this new coronavirus first came up, there was a general vague opinion that Africa would not be seriously affected. For one thing, the place is warm, and the virus doesn't like a warm climate. For... Read More
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Much earlier, by John Derbyshire: Importing Sino-Fascism? September 13, 2000 The hope has been expressed—for example by Counter-Currents’s Greg Johnson, as I mentioned last week —that our current travails will open the eyes of Western electorates to what a really bad idea unrestrained, unquestioning...

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com.] It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, and the coronavirus panic has some winners. The stock of Zoom video-conferencing software has been soaring, notwithstanding some bad publicity about its security features, or lack of them. Less well-publicized has been the bonanza for...

I'm not as bothered by this coronavirus outbreak as, according to the public-service announcements, I ought to be. I belong to two high-risk categories: over seventy and with a compromised immune system. I live in one of the worst-affected states. Shouldn't I be cowering in a basement room compulsively checking my temperature and lung function... Read More
Earlier: John Derbyshire Is Still A Coronavirus Agnostic, But He’s Wearing A Mask We all have our inclinations and tendencies, deriving ultimately, I suppose, from genetic predispositions. I was, for example, deeply unsurprised to see that Lady Ann published a fine spirited skeptical piece about Coronavirus on March 25th here at VDARE.com: We'll get no... Read More
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? How mealy-mouthed about race are our major news outlets? The New York Times just ran a 2,000-word story about East Asians being "Spit on, yelled at, attacked" by persons who blame them for the coronavirus. But who are those persons? For deeper insights into the... Read More
I know you're all on tenterhooks waiting to hear what Radio Derb, the civilized world's most authoritative source of news and opinion, has to say…about what we should call the current flu pandemic! Wednesday our President squashed a distraught snowflake reporterette at his news conference: Snowflake: "Why do you keep calling this "the Chinese virus"?... Read More
Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, available exclusively at VDARE.com Earlier by John Derbyshire: America Catches Coronavirus Panic I'm going to bring you right in to the Derb household, actually Tuesday evening in the quiet lull after dinner. Mrs. Derbyshire is sitting in her favorite armchair fiddling with her smartphone. She has an account at... Read More
John Derbyshire writes an incredible amount on all sorts of subjects for all kinds of outlets. (This no longer includes National Review, whose editors had some kind of tantrum and fired him. He is the author of We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism and several other books. His most recent book, published by VDARE.com com is FROM THE DISSIDENT RIGHT (also available in Kindle).His writings are archived at JohnDerbyshire.com.
Where does my post say they are "all" goons? It says they are "often" goons, and it also says that the video shows that the cops who dealt with Floyd were actually rather professional.
Basic reading comprehension shouldn't be too much to ask for, "Ace..."
I recently saw a photo of a police academy graduation in LA that looked almost all Hispanic.
If LA becomes increasingly Hispanic then judges and politicians might not charge fellow Hispanic cops (or civilians) when they defend themselves against black criminals.
The “WWII allies,” of which the Republic of China was one, did not take title to whatever territory they liberated from Japan.
No, but they promoted and facilitated their retreat to Taiwan during the Chinese civil war.
One of the most overlooked bits of evidence (in the popular imagination, I mean) will turn out to be George Floyd's May 2019 confrontation with coppers, where Floyd swallowed the percs he was holding... and survived, presumably giving him the false confidence that he could do the same thing a yea...
The "WWII allies," of which the Republic of China was one, did not take title to whatever territory they liberated from Japan.
After Gen. Marshall and Truman did all in their power to screw the the Nationalist Chinese and facilitate the Chinese communist takeover of the mainland, the Nationa...
Cops I've encountered have been uniformly polite and professional. All but one let me off with a warning. Something about a dead body in my trunk.
It must be obligatory to characterize them all as goons.

[EDIT] Haha, I just noticed that I had lot of that in my reply to Colin. Some “we”s should be “The Feral Gov’t”, but it was about saving time. Sorry, you are right on this.
Hey Derb, they released new video on you people's Dangerous (and 100% organic) coup attempt...

Mexico became a nation in 1821, Texas in 1836. The Mexicans controlled it for only 15 years after stealing it from the Spanish Crown. In 1846 California declared independence from the Mexicans who had also stolen that region from the Spanish. Not exactly "since forever". That being said, it prob...
As I posted elsewhere, China is sending a no-war, no-invasion signal by creating gigantic (12,000 tons, the size of a destroyer!)) “coast guard cutters.” China creates a “presence” without using warships. The worst you get is a ramming or the exchange of small-arms fire. You do not get Wo...
Being a cop must be quickly fading from any young White man's list of career choices, so it will soon be left to the Latinos to police the cities, as we already see in Los Angeles, doing jobs Americans won't, as it were. Imagine a Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta or Baltimore PD that's 60% or more Hi...
I think the reason they are making Chauvin stand trial separately is so the other three officers testify against him for reduced sentences or no jail time. Without a doubt Ms. Melanin Kristen Clarke will charge Chauvin with so called federal civil rights violations if he beats the state charges ...
I get your point here, Greta, but my take is that Colin means "we" part of the time, as in who will be doing the fighting and dying, while yes, some of the "we"s mean the US Feral Government, which is not ME by any stretch of the imagination.
That said, I will correct you on Pat Buchanan. Pat B...
Colin, I do agree with you on the fact that we wouldn't win that war, and America would find out what actual armed forces had better run like, rather than the Social Experiments they are today.
However, I'd like to see just SOMEBODY mention that "hey, we run massive trade deficits with these ...
Why do you casually yet consistently use all the
The rights and wrongs of it all are somewhat academic. The hard truth is we can’t win a war with China that far from our shores and that close to China’s, fought over an issue China will care about more than we do.
We can threaten war, bu...
