Are those polls for real? Think about that.

GWB was literally Hitler to the left before literally Hitler got elected last year. The fact that the left (think Morning Joe, who fancies himself the reformed conservative who now has a band and a new wife who was the daughter of Bryzinsky) now touts how great and patriotic the FBI is defies belief.

It shows how rapidly changes of perception and political affiliation can occur in the hyper charged new tech world. Ideas can move the masses one way or the other in a virtual nanosecond.

Or how about the “integrity of the democratic process” being extolled as a founding principal? The founders understood the problems with said process. Hence, a Constitution to protect the rights of individuals and minorities.

But WWI and II turned America into the protector of “democracy.” So that’s who we are now.

This seems exactly right to me. After I read the Bell Curve 2o years ago, my first thought was that all of this seemed like it was meant aimed towards justifying socialist policies.

IIRC Murray said almost exactly that in either the epilogue or some later comment on his findings. This from a libertarian at the AEI.

AA isn’t going anywhere.

Oh please, oh please don’t take my Unz reader away. Best place on the internet.

BTW-Lew Rockwell (my other American hero) is linking to Sailer at a furious rate. And who wouldn’t?

But what’s up with over 300 comments on the blonde-dyed asian chick? With all that’s going on right now I think this is not a topic of concern.

Steve,

I think you may have hit paydirt. My wife and I are planning a trip to Cali next year and we told our 7 year-old daughter. She immediately asked if we could go into the Hollywood sign.

Maybe it’s a girl thing, since I never even thought about that. But she was adamant about that being her goal.

Total bull in black and white.

If you’re talking about your contributions to this blog, I totally agree with you.

This is totally untrue about Tucker. You must not have been watching him much lately. He’s the only person in all of MSM media who does engage on the topic of race honestly. Does he go full HBD? No. But it’s still a little too early for that on the telly.

This was an interesting article about the growth of black identity through collective victimhood. It’s a burgeoning beast being fed by an oversupply of white guilt. The impetus of that guilt is the mass media’s false message of societal “systemic racism.” Younger blacks derive a stronger sense of group identity which strengthens their sense of self-worth, something that hardly seems to need strengthening in 2021.

Definitely worth a read:

Totally agree Another Dad.

While driving my 10-year old daughter and her friend to a soccer game, they couldn’t stop talking about a Zoom class they’d just had with Ruby Bridges. I asked who she was, since I’d missed that in my 20 years of schooling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Bridges

These kids of course attend an all white/Asian grammar school, but are already being instructed to hate the evil whites in the 1950s (and earlier) who built this nation.

IMO-Having an activist like this speak to children way too young to process the brainwashing they’re receiving is, in essence, proselytizing for a nihilistic religion of white self-hatred. I’m beginning to despise these insane progressives and their innate desire to destroy this society.

JP-This comment is badly in need of citations. And a whole lot of editing. Or maybe you’re just going for a Tyrone Green vibe. In which case, it’s not bad.

All of these are good. But I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the possibility of C. Turning the lower classes against each other is an effective use of propaganda for TPTB to stave off the pitchforks as you say.

Made me think about this SNL “black jeopardy” skit in which the blacks come around to see they have more in common with the MAGA Trump guys than they realized.

Video Link

Wow. This Fuentes is a full fledged crackpot. He’s a Harvard professor?

He talks about “male and female bodies” have been demonstrated to react the same way to babies. This in response to something Murray had said about science having shown innate gender differences in reacting to babies. So I guess this guy is in the camp that there are no men and women, just male and female bodies.

He sounds a lot like a very bad plaintiff’s personal injury attorney. Appealing to emotion, but claiming the evidence backs up everything he’s saying (hint: it usually doesn’t).

SO, somewhere, someone is unhappy with Darwin——why is this news? Why does this matter?

Is Darwin no longer taught in schools? Clearly that’s not the case.

Why reference Dailymail that garbage tabloid paper? Oh right, you’re a troll.

Fuentes says that notions of whiteness had “congealed” by 1963. And that at the turn of the 20th Century, his relatives would probably have been turned back at Ellis Island. Huh? People who have had some ethnic discrimination (like the Irish and Italians) often

I get that he didn’t have a lot of time. But he could have picked one or maybe 2 things and tried to connect with the audience by focusing on them. Instead he uses a shotgun approach of rebuttal which quickly loses the thread. He had enough time to make a lame joke about David Brooks, which nobody (including me) got.

He seems a bit like one of those professors who get caught fighting at Antifa-led protests at Cal Berkeley.

A protest of the 2020 election outcome was planned beforehand by die-hard Republicans. There is no reason to believe Trump was involved in planning, but he certainly provided the rational for a protest based on his endlessly repeating the false claim that the election was rigged and stolen:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/1/13/2008836/-Growing-evidence-that-Republican-leaders-were-directly-involved-in-planning-assault-on-Capitol
https://trendingpolitics.com/false-narrative-growing-evidence-capitol-attack-pre-planned-weakens-incitement-case-against-trump/
https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/growing-evidence-capitol-attack-was-pre-planned-undercuts-trump-impeachment-premise-podcast/
Right and left wing publications agree, a protest on January 6th was planned, even though they disagree on the purpose and implications.

Selections from Trump’s mouth on 1-6-2021:

“All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing. And stolen by the fake news media. That’s what they’ve done and what they’re doing. We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”

“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide. This was not a close election.”

“And by the way, does anybody believe that Joe had 80 million votes? Does anybody believe that?”
“Take third-world countries. Their elections are more honest than what we’ve been going through in this country. It’s a disgrace.”

Trump’s words were big on implications, yet lacking in any direct order or explicit plan. He clearly encouraged the crowd to take action against “the steal”. A crowd recruited from fanatic followers around the country. There is even little truth to Trump’s words, because US elections have never really been completely free and fair, gerrymandering reverses local outcomes, women, blacks and other poor people were once prevented from voting by law, intimidation and various dirty tricks, most recently fake purge lists generated by Republicans have made a mockery of free and fair.

Women and blacks had to protest in the streets before they could vote. There was a time in 2000 when Republicans literally stole the Presidency from Al Gore. But Trump, despite his promise to lay out the evidence proving he actually won the 2020 election, never did so on January 6th or in the Courts. Many of the problems with US elections over the past twenty years have been corrected. That is why election fraud monitors declared the outcome to be legitimate. But gerrymandering and voter purge lists are still with us and are the only reason Republicans remain competitive. That is the real problem, not that the election was stolen by Democrats.

A protest of the 2020 election outcome was planned beforehand by die-hard Republicans.

The articles you attach as proof that “evidence is growing” that the 1/6 events were preplanned were published 4 months ago. So what happened to all that “growing” evidence; did it just stop? Was it too scary to reveal? Also, those click baitey articles never state what the evidence was.

The video someone posted last week of Fuentes’s “rebuttal” of Charles Murray at Notre Dame was one of the most depressing things I’ve seen in a while.

It’s hard to fathom that someone like Fuentes is teaching at the top universities in America. He’d be a lightweight instructor at most private schools 25 years ago.

What is the justification for capitalizing “Asian” but not “White”?

It’s because if you capitalize us, we become really, really dangerous, like, we might circumnavigate the globe, go to the Moon, invent stuff and basically make everyone else look like the losers they are.

O/T What happened to Svigor, Lot, and Owen? Do they post anymore?

Oh sure they do, but now they go by Anonymous[265], Anonymous[266] and Anonymous[267].

Along these lines. Last night I tried to forward the iSteve thread on the “Flight From White” discussing the vanishing white students in the San Mateo high schools. My friend (who is Chinese) has a daughter in one of the high schools there, and I wanted to get his take on it. Facebook messenger blocked it. I tried 4 times, and it was blocked each time.

Does anyone know if Facebook has officially blocked Steve or Unz?

I never go on Facebook, but do keep in touch with a few college friends via the FB messenger. But I’ve never had a URL link blocked by it before.

I’m a lifelong New Yorker, and I definitely feel a bit like I’m living behind enemy lines during a civil war. But I can’t afford to leave NY. Being a fifth columnist is my only possible aspiration.

I wish we could develop some sort of sign where we could identify like minded people without revealing our bad thinking.

I’ve heard McWhorter say, “I’m not going to go there”

That’s interesting. Because if he (and Loury) are going to interview Charles Murray, he’s probably going to have to “go there.”

Fantastic article Steve.

Of course we will never know because a lynching, by definition, means that the lynchee did not receive due process

Due process is increasingly appearing to be an anachronism. As Christopher Caldwell has posited, the Civil Rights Act has all but superseded the Constitution as half the country’s founding document. Was Chauvin given due process with the show trial last month? Will Fauci (or Clapper or Brennan) be charged with perjury in testimony to Congress, like Roger Stone was? Will the protestors/rioters of 1/6 be treated the same as the BLM and Antifa rioters and arsonists?

Under Biden and his enablers, TPTB seek racial equity and due process be damned. Notwithstanding, my non-expert suspicion is that 90% is a probably a bit high.

Just to throw this out there: everyone knew each other in rural and small town communities back in those days. The population in general was considerably smaller. Also the people were considerably more bound by similar Christian mores. What I am suggesting is they knew who did it, and the crime was so heinous, the community acted out with even older old school justice. Finally no where in those statistics does it say the race of the ones doing the lynching.

BTW Do you like the lack of due process those who stepped into the Capital on June 6? Even definitively labeling them insurrectionist is prejudicial, and denying them fair defense. Due process is a nice idea, but only true in practice on TV court dramas.

Slightly OT. We shouldn’t completely lose sight of the other “historical” events leading up to the international rage about Floyd’s death during his arrest.

The dogwalker who called the cops on the gay birdwatcher is in the news again: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/woman-sues-ex-employer-for-racial-discrimination-after-viral-central-park-incident/ar-AAKq0h4?ocid=entnewsntp

That’s really when the media set the tone that we were experiencing a wave of white supremacism, soon followed by the Georgia jogger. And then Floyd…

The question is, does her federal racial discrimination lawsuit have legs? Is anti-white racism not actionable? And if not, why not?

Should White folk be offended that Asians are culturally appropriating all the black-on-others violence?

Nice piece Steve.

Slightly OT-More white supremacist anti-Asian attacks here in NYC. There seems to be no end to these in sight.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/bigot-bashes-woman-with-cane-in-another-hate-crime-on-manhattan-subway/ar-AAKDaFX?ocid=entnewsntp

From the article:

Regarding the Morningside Heights attack, police describe the suspect as a 60-year-old man with a dark complexion, standing about 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, with a medium build, brown eyes, close cut salt-and-pepper hair, a mustache and a goatee.

I’m figuring the guy must have just gotten back from Florida and has a bit of a suntan.

Don’t you think there are gonna be quite a few young pranksters twenty years from now who just love upsetting their humorless, woker-than-thou middle-aged elders?

I would like to believe this will happen. But the almost total lack of humor today makes me think this may not always be the way things work. There may be some who engage in gallows humor, but not with any power behind it to change things. As woke ideology becomes more entrenched in bureaucracy, the force required to displace it grows.

The current insanity will not last.

People from every race that vanished from the earth probably comforted themselves with these words.

No authorities allowed any of my elderly or sick relatives to die. I’ve heard of a few people (none that I know personally) who have gone to the hospital and/or died from Covid, allegedly. Forgive me if I’m dubious about these anecdotes. The last year was an orchestrated propaganda blitz by the MSM, mainly designed to jettison Trump.

I agree that the MSM also censored news of likely effective and cheap therapeutics. That’s sort of par for the course since the media depends quite a bit on big pharma.

While America experienced some excess deaths last year, places like Sweden and Germany had close to none. And although Germany and Sweden tried very different response measures, they had pretty similar results.

“Checking”? Sounds very STASI.

Cole has written some good stuff. But he seems to be going off the deep end trying to defend the “wet market” theory on the issue of where Covid-19 originated from. Not sure why he’s so dug in on this while the evidence seems to point towards it having been manmade.

He’s more interested in winning the argument, than in knowing the truth.

Since the previous century I’ve been articulating in the public arena an array of interconnecting ideas about how the world works. For example, I tend to suspect that racial differences in achievement in 2021 have more to do with nature and nurture, with culture and human biodiversity, than with unspecifiable malevolence on the part of white men as dictated by the theory of systemic racism.

What if I’m right?

I think we are probably in a period of history much like others we may have studied as schoolboys (i.e., Bolshevik Revolution, Post WWII Iron Curtain, French Revolution) in which the audacious craziness of power is obvious but everyone who would object to it is too powerless to make any effort to stop it. The tanks are rolling down the streets and people are being summarily shot but we’re encouraged to declare that this is a glorious liberation.

In these times, the truth of things is a scandal.

Slightly OT-my first time ever reading TD’s favorite writer Leonard Pitts, with this recent commentary on Kyle Rittenhouse.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/leonard-pitts-jr-kyle-rittenhouse-is-not-a-hero/ar-AAKGpLR?ocid=entnewsntp

I assume many here have seen the Rittenhouse video, and the Pitts description of the scene bears no resemblance to it. And why does Pitts have an enormous photo of himself that takes up more space than his entire article?

Thanks. Interesting. But painful to watch for too long…

The black woman on the left thinks that Western Man is evil due to the authoritarian quality of his (our) culture and that other non-western human societies (she never specifically says which ones) are more passive and non-violent. The bad ideas we’re dealing with now definitely didn’t start in the last 10 years. But the will to oppose them may be waning.

I don’t think the medical profession is institutionally biased as far as race goes, but it is certainly institutionally biased against those who do not have insurance, who may be charged higher prices than those whose treatment is paid for by the insurance companies. So that needs to be reformed.

There is not much discussion of what is meant by institutional bias, but my interpretation would be that there are laws or rules or regulations that are deliberately set up by government or institutions to favor one ethnicity over another that are not accidental.

A recent wide reaching report commissioned by the UK government reached the conclusion that there was no institutional racism in the UK. Although the findings were disputed by activists, I do not recall them actually being able to point to any specific instance.

For example, in Britain medical care providers have been instructed to give priority to Gypsies and travelers and to not keep them waiting, because they are considered to be already medically underserved and the government considers it desirable that Gypsy women should be positively encouraged to seek prenatal care. So that does not count as institutional racism.

However many people have argued that recent amendments to the regulations about voting in Georgia (US) have been deliberately aimed at the inhibiting the black vote. This would certainly meet the definition of institutional racism, if it is actually true.

However it may equally be the case that Georgia legislators are just dumb low IQ rednecks, but not racist in their intentions.

That sounds like “systemic stupidity” (i.e. the supposed antidote to the ubiquitous scourge of the never explained systemic racism). That your head of HR doesn’t even believe in what she’s spouting makes the situation even worse.

On blacks: “…above criticism, but beneath agency”.

Another example of cops being way too tolerant of bs behavior by these evolutionary dead-end turds. One warning: drop it or die – now. Of course this unfortunately can’t happen in today’s climate – but the day is coming.

Sue the gun manufacturers who let these weapons get into the hands of criminals.

Slightly OT: Here’s a story in the NY Daily News about an anti-semitic hate crime.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/bash-your-jewish-f-ing-head-bigot-threatens-man-on-brooklyn-street/ar-AAKWw6F?ocid=entnewsntp

Surprising that they identify the wanted perp as “Black man.” I wonder if the “crime” had been more serious would the cops have downgraded the description to “man.”

WOR radio show host Mark Simone believes that the reason Harris doesn’t want to go to the border is that she’d have to visit the detainment facilities and the press would have to be allowed to accompany her. The Biden Administration doesn’t want to be attached to the resulting “kids in cages” visuals.

RichardTaylor asked:

If you let Murray and all the HBD’ers have power, they would shaft White people over and over in failed attempts to make their pretty visions come true. There’s an arrogance in that combined with a total lack of racial loyalty. How is that moral?

You have fallen into the trap set by the ruling elite: divide et impera.

This is not a fight between Whites and Blacks.

It is a fight between the ruling parasitic verbalist overclass versus the productive citizens of this country.

The ruling elite are using Blacks and Hispanics as pawns.

Revolver News has uncovered evidence that some of the “leaders” of the January 6 “Insurrection” may have been federal agents provocateurs.

I am beginning to strongly suspect that the same is true of some of you in the “White nationalist movement.”

Or maybe you are just useful dupes.

I am still at a loss to understand the QAnon phenomenon. It seems that it has the FBI (or other deep state security agency) finger prints all over it. But so little has been discussed or investigated about it, even in the alternative media.

Tucker Carlson covered the Revolver piece last night. He’s definitely moving in the right direction.

The Russian’s favorite game (and the favorite game of Russia’s friends here) is drawing false equivalences between the dirty stuff that the Russians do and legitimate practices.

Yes, in the past the US did some stuff that was not legitimate either and it has been rightly criticized for such practices and we don’t do them anymore. These abuses came to light as part of America’s democratic processes and were acknowledged while Putin will NEVER admit to having done anything wrong and anyone who exposes his wrongdoings is likely to end up poisoned or in a penal colony.

Forgive me if I missed it in a prior post. But have you done a word search of the NYT for “Juneteenth”? It would be interesting to see the timeline.

I’m embarrassed to say I had never heard the word until after the George Floyd festivities of 2020. Wiki says it was the name of Ralph Ellison’s posthumous novel published in 1999. Was I living under a rock around then? I can’t tell whether all my liberal white friends who are now telling me “of course they’d heard of Juneteenth” are gaslighting me or not.

I’m going with a combination of (3) and (4). Half (or more) of the white population supporting the negrolatry has become dysfunctional and pathologically insane. Just look at the TDS that has afflicted so many and caused so much irrational behavior.

There’s also a growing portion of whites who want a real revolution now, along the lines of the French Revolution but explicitly based on race.

>Am I too cynical?

Yes and no. People want nice, tidy narratives to history, and holidays reflect that. I’m basically in a similar position in not really caring one way or the other about the holiday itself. If black people want to celebrate Juneteenth, that’s their affair, and if it is a federal holiday now, good for them.

What I’m leery of is the political context in which this is taking place. In an era where elites are openly pushing for teaching children that they are innately evil because of their race and progressive talking heads openly engage in Civil War 2.0 fantasies, then the notion that this is truly about racial healing is a no sell for me in a way it wouldn’t have been 10 years ago. And it isn’t. Fewer and fewer leftists are bothering to hide that.

Nathan Robinson’s piece is totally nonsensical. His thesis, as can be discerned, is that Trump and his ilk on the new right are racist and “endanger the planet because of climate change.”

Here’s Robinson complaining about Greenwald’s misplaced priorities:

You might think that given the overriding importance of climate change, it would be insane to worry that the prospect of a Democratic victory in 2020 was “alarming.”

I used to kid my leftist friends 15 years ago that the Democratic Party really is just about the chimerical issue of climate change. But it seems they’re really tripling down on it (and now the bogeyman of systemic racism).

No doubt the conquest of Ireland in 1536 and the subsequent forced relocation of the Irish to work as indentured servants on Plantations in the Caribbean for 300 years, followed by continued occupation until 1922 explains why the Irish have a mean IQ of 85 and x7 the homicide rate of everyone else. Not to mention the 3.6 million who starved to death or immigrated when you know who was eating meat every day curtesy of Master. That is why it is fair that Harvard goes out of their way to admit them.

We can trot out the usual logical/factual objections to establishment/Democrat media lying and spin … again and again and again and again.

But the repetitive depth here–“racism” has created the whole situation and is always responsible–is just another reminder that we need from conservatives a full throated, no holds barred attack on minoritarianism.

The conservative response here needs to be:
a) this is a lie; black problems are because of blacks, black behaviors
b) it’s a provable lie; if black problems stem from “white racism” and blacks have a problem with the Dallas PD procedures then blacks should either
— move away
— separate into a black Dallas community with black policing
— take over Dallas and do “black policing” … but no whining about “white flight” or “segregation” when white people separate from Dallas or move away in order to live in decent white rule-of-law communities … and we’ll see how those communities work out.

Any conservative response must always insist that white people (regular flyover white gentiles who settled and built this nation specifically) do not exist for the benefit of minorities but–like any people–are entitled to live according to their own norms/values/culture now and … forever.

Unless minoritarianism is challenged head on–with the goal of destroying it root and branch, or separating our America from it–all our “this isn’t fair”, “this is a bogus spin” is useless caviling.

Until we get to see what’s on the 14,000 hrs of unreleased videotape the government has, almost everything about 1/6 is just speculation. The absence of the available evidence allows the left to spin it forever. There was obviously a group of pro-Trump supporters there who were angry about the election (among other things). But we also know there was a number of Antifa and probably undercover FBI embedded within the crowd.

Was this a riot “encouraged” by certain elements of the government to make the right look bad? Possibly. This is the most pressing question to be answered from a truth perspective.

Or perhaps it’s just a wealthy ambulance chaser building out his portfolio?

Be fair, a huge number of the felony convictions were probably possession of reefer.

The NYT article has it completely flipped. “Boyz N the Hood” was a good film for its realistic depiction of inner city blacks and black culture. Sort of a precursor for “The Wire” series.

It’s what made Ice Cube into an international celebrity beyond just his rapping. The political proselytizing of the Lawrence Fishburne character was the flaw in the film.

Yeah, he’s black. And he really hates the “alt-right” and Donald Trump apparently.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/17/opinion/why-im-leaving-the-southern-baptist-convention.html

“They bring the property value down, they can buy the land at a lower price, then they move all the people out, raise the property value and sell it at a profit.”

This is what happens when nobody–but nobody–in your society is even remotely conversant with the basic principles of economics.

Popped for me too. The state of leftist commentary these days is just shockingly dumb. When i run across this sort swooning over this sort of “doesn’t even make basic logical sense” argument, i think either “girls with BA” or “blacks”. Since it’s a guy’s name–Lawrence–i assume this is a black–swooning over some other black’s really dumb argument.

Just crazy stuff. Note, price manipulation is possible. Real estate agent “block busting” managed to “bring down” the value of property in the 60s by … moving blacks in! But there isn’t external knob to turn it up and down at will.

Furthermore, gentrification–over time0–raises prices. This may indeed force blacks out, but if it really is the blacks neighborhood–as in ownership, not just living there–then blacks are making money.

And there are plenty of places–places where blacks live–where prices are low, low, low … but where whitey doesn’t seem to buy and then turn the magic know up to drive blacks out. In fact, the places that “gentrify” are generally places near the interior of cities, originally built and occupied by whites, but where black crime white-flighted the whites away a couple generations back.

Put it all together …
–blacks didn’t build it, but took it from whites
–it’s black behavior–crime–that drove the prices down and getting blacks out that raises prices up.
–it is whites who actually loose real estate value because of blacks taking over their neighborhoods not vice versa

When the presence of your race lowers real estate prices (desirability) and your absence raises prices (desirability), maybe in your search for an explanation you should … look in the mirror!

Steve, what you have to remember is that this present push has absolutely nothing to do with ‘equal treatment under the law’ , but has been right from the outset a subversive and sectional grab at dominance – which has succeeded and always has succeeded – since it really began in earnest during the Kennedy/Johnson era. The idea has always been to shout, scream, stamp feet, cry ‘victimhood’ and grab a little. Then a little more. And a little more. And a little more again. As I said all these pushes succeed – the boo hoo hoo and ‘victim’ strategy is extraordinarily fruitful in the USA, and little pushes become big shoves. You try it on, you win, you try it on some more. The classic strategy of the bully and manipulator.
Entrenchment of the status quo, ironically enough, has become the reality of this gradualism.

You’re such a nice guy Steve. I’ll bet you’re a pretty good neighbor.

The world would be pretty chill if it was full of a bunch of Steve Sailers.

It’s not.

Affirmative action is here to stay friends. Not that I approve of it, but I believe majority of the elite see it is the only sane option, pretty much a cold-blooded business decision. The elite know that nothing can be done to improve black performance, and in many respects, they tacitly acknowledge the lower average IQ of the majority of blacks. So what to do about a relatively small (13%) portion of the population that has the troubling tendency to be incredibly violent and to act out randomly? You mollify the smartest portion of the black community with affirmative action in terms of elite school admissions and jobs. That keeps the black community from ever being organized in a credible and more lethal way. The downsides of affirmative action (poorer job of performance by blacks in elite schools and in damn-near every profession) are all acceptable outcomes in order to keep the peace. The answer to dealing with the majority of blacks who are not educated or motivated enough to receive any form of affirmative action? Move to the suburbs and stay far away from them at all costs.

This has been a pet peeve of mine as well, ever since I worked in a bodybuilding gym in the late 1980s. Steroids were exploding at that time and the gym world was ground zero. I even took a mild one for a short while (Deca) to cure a back problem I developed in my early 20s. It worked like a charm.

My conclusion from mostly anecdotal evidence is that all athletes use PEDs a lot. Baseball is really the only sport that has a publicized “problem” with their use, because statistics are the lifeblood of the sport. Policing PED use became a scandal because statistical records needed to have some integrity. NBA and NFL players have grown much bigger and stronger since the 1980s, in no small part because those leagues don’t really have rigorous testing for PEDs. They’re happy to look away for the good of their industries.

With AI and transhumanism growing in popularity, I sense steroid use will be generally accepted at some point in the not too distant future.

Life would get much, much better for blacks if we’d adopt a very tough-on-crime regime and imprisoned/executed/expelled every criminal we could get our hands on.

Beyond personal genetics, the #1 thing that makes black people’s lives more difficult is not white racism, but being around other blacks who are assholes.

Wait. What’s the type of stuff O’Reilly ad Hannity could have done? You mean bloviate about nonsense like the media is doing about Tucker?

To me, the MSM overreaction to a simple trip by Tucker to Hungary demonstrates fear. Tucker went to El Salvador a couple months ago and there was no problem.

Steve Schmidt’s comment was classic: “An international movement seeking to unleash the poison of nationalism and destroy democracy.” Guy must be losing it.

Israel is slammed all the time, seldom fairly.

Not sure where you’re getting this from. Israel has not been “slammed” in the MSM for my entire life. People who do criticize Israel get marginalized or fired. See Pat Buchanan.

My sense is that during times of maximum pro-negritude (e.g., the early 1990s, the current 2020-2021 period) a certain amount of black slamming of Israel is allowed. The NOI types are given a pass for a while. But there are indeed enough Bari Weiss types (like the Podhoretzes before her) with enough MSM power t0 put a check on it getting out of control.

That’s a very astute observation. Reminds me of the John Cleese-style satire of that British archetype.

That British apologetic style stands in stark contrast to the Trumpian, abrasive and unapologetic demeanor of the average New Yorker. Both have things going for them IMO.

In our suburban town, essentially all of the girls are pushed into soccer or lacrosse. So many girls play lacrosse that my oldest daughter (11), who has no real interest in the game, now wants to play. She wants to be with the popular crowd.

There’s been a major cultural shift to make team sports “popular” among girls. Most girls will gravitate to what is popular, no matter what it is.

There are many exceptions. But I don’t think girls get the same joy out of playing competitive team games as boys. It often seems they are going through the motions. Mimicking whatever society wants them to be doing.

Please, let’s compare rates of obesity, and morbid obesity, among whites, Africans, mestizo Latinos in the USA. The other groups (except Asians) are even fatter and less healthy than the whites:

If you’re going to be snarky, try to make sense.

This woman is disgusting at all levels.

The thing about our embassies flying the fag flag, is that they are supposed to be trying to “win hearts and minds”–and in the case of Afghanistan the American taxpayer has ponied up a couple trillion for the project–then the fly this “celebrate perversion” flag, pretty much signaling to every normal person that the US is debased and seeks to debase your nation.

I’ve got no love for Islam–wish it was wiped from the planet. Any nation should drop and get an environmental benefit of about 5 IQ points. But if i was an Afghan and saw this, i’d want to join the Taliban myself.

Embassies doing this are parading their extreme–really extreme–hubris and a big f.u. to both people in these other nations and the American taxpayer who pays their fricking salaries.

Are you saying there is a way to “vote better”? Or that voting is not the answer and more should be done?

Right. And the overall stupidity of believing the Taliban wouldn’t retake Afghanistan exactly as they just did.

Blame him for saying just a month ago that Kabul would not fall and that the 300,000 Afghan troops the US and NATO trained would fight the Taliban. Utterly fantastical thinking.

That’s projecting a lot of confidence in US leadership.

Better shot.

These are just dumb teenagers not guys fleeing the Taliban for their lives. (Again the game is given away from the laughing and the fact that what they’re doing has a near 100% chance of death if the plane takes off which is what it eventually did) They’re trying to make it to the West because they know the worst that will happen to them for their actions is being sent home for free.

There’s a great documentary on Tillman from about 11 years ago. Strong sense he was killed intentionally because he was about to come out against the entire war effort in Afghanistan.

He could have been a national hero for doing that, but TPTB couldn’t let that happen.

Jack, Colbert,Bee, Mahar, Oliver are all lame excuses for humor and yet they have their shows. Will Rodgers, although long ago, was a humorist. These people are not.

He almost sounded like Pat Buchannan. It was weird. My only problem with the evacuation was that he and his team (Blinken, Kirby, et al) completely ignored the intelligence which showed the Taliban could and would take Kabul and the rest of the country in short order.

Did Biden simply want to believe it wasn’t true? Or did he purposely lie about it? I don’t know, but my gut tells me the latter. And if he lied, why? Maybe something worse is coming that they know (as insiders) and we don’t. The high possibility of the President lying here is very unsettling and indicative of the lack of control these folks have. It seems to be getting closer and closer to what it must have been like in the Soviet Union in 1990.

The American Empire will likely not face the same fate or at least not the same timeline of collapse.

This is like Hemingway’s quip about how you go bankrupt – first gradually , then suddenly. It’s hard to predict the point where gradual mode shifts into sudden mode. As of last week, all the pundits said that the Afghan government was supposed to last years or at least months and instead it was gone overnight. When you see American cops and soldiers discarding their uniforms and changing into civilian clothes, then you’ll know that it’s game over but by then it will be too late.

I wish someone in the media would analyze the 800lb elephant in the room. Why did Biden ignore (or lie about) the intelligence that the Taliban was prepared to run through Afghanistan like the Nazis through Belgium?

It must have been the latter, or Biden and his team are the most incompetent executives in US history. But what purpose did the lie serve if the results would soon be revealed to all? All of the rest of the coverage of the evacuation seems like just noise to me.

Sidney Hersh wrote a pretty persuasive piece back in 2011/2012 which argued that OBL was definitely not killed by the US in the purported Pakistan raid. This “heroic” narrative was almost certainly created entirely by the Obama administration and other deep state denizens.

The fact no photo was taken of OBL and that his body was immediately “dumped in the ocean” says all you need to know. Imagine the FBI (or any law enforcement agency) handling the capture of someone at the top of their “most wanted” list.

But the MSM bought that whopper hook, line and sinker with zero curiosity. That was one of the biggest eye openers about the pervasive rot of the mass media and where it was headed.

I don’t think it’s fair to criticize the (Asian) writer too much for also including some extensive covering PC verbiage.

Ron-did you mean to say ass-covering here?

Steve-another great piece.

One small quibble:

Michael Jordan, I recall, is dark, Obama middling, and Beyoncé light. But what about the precise coloration of LeBron, Oprah, O.J., Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, Stevie Wonder, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Prince, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton? (To simplify things, we’ll leave Michael Jackson out.)

Skin color seems to be a much weaker indicator of sub-Saharan admixure than nasal width and lip shape and thickness. To focus on a “color line” tends to obscure a person’s racial background. The nose knows, and ye shall be known by the nose.

A couple of Proud Boys are there because they got confronted by violent Antifa members one night were found guilty of winning the fight, even though no Antifa would speak to the cops or testify. After the scuffle, Cuomo found them guilty before any arrests or investigations had been made with infamously vomit-inducing cheeseball cartoon-guido statements like this:

Hate cannot and will not be tolerated in New York. Here’s a message from a Queens boy to the so-called ‘proud boys’ – ​NY has zero tolerance for your bs. ​ ​

Cuomo essentially put a hit on them, kangaroos courts, etc. It’s been satisfying seeing his recent downfall, but he deserves far, far worse, for many, many reasons. If anything happens to those guys in Rikers, I hope Cuomo gets the most painful forms of terminal cancer imaginable. I’m sure the loved ones of many deceased nursing home residents already feel this way.

Eric Adams would be a darker-hued variant of the same pathology. Never trust an ex-cop who runs on being a cop, whom every other cop on the force including the brass distrusts and despises.

Cross yr fingers and vote for Curtis Sliwa if you live here. (Or even if you don’t! Who’d dare ask to see your ID?) He’s the only candidate in decades with the real potential to be another Giuliani. And he’s the only mayoral candidate anywhere who rode the NYC subways, unmasked, all last year, helping to get homeless guy into shelters. So naturally, he’s viewed as a far-right lunatic who Can’t Possibly Win. Let’s fuck those people and vote Sliwa in!
