My comment of some five hours ago was still awaiting “moderation”; do you think something like:
Corona virus in China means US economy catches pneumonia (paraphrasing) may be immoderate?

Watch the US economy catch pneumonia; it’s all supply chain (from China) because we produce dick.

OT Mr. Sailer,

I used to be a Republican and I’m not a Democrat; I also used to be a Trump supporter but:

Is there another country on the face of this planet damned with a ruling class as corrupt as the United States of America?

Packer and those like him will never give up a stitch of the comfort and advantages that their fluent BS brings, they don’t believe a word of it, it’s just the typical opportunism of the parasitic chattering classes; all this is Woody Allen style navel gazing to show that he feels our pain.
OTOH, the readers and contributors to this forum will greatly benefit from reading the American Affairs Journal (americanaffairsjournal.org); you may even try to have your local library to subscribe. Who knows? It may get some people to think a bit harder.

Mr. Sailer, you don’t think Israel would do that, do you? Israel and all of its supporters are extremely ethical, Sir. Including our Presidents: Trump, Kushner, Bibi, Adelson; well, I may be getting confused there, which one is it?

Possibly not OT:

National Immigration Safety Board you say? Can’t be done in the present political environment when the mendacity and corruption of the two main political parties, the executive and the judiciary are matched by the imbecility of the majority that allows them to remain in power.

Just another parasite puppet of the oligarchy; what the World needs really badly in order to avoid catastrophe, climatic or otherwise, is aggressive population control. Notice how aggressively this topic is avoided and blocked by the oligarch owned MSM and politicians.

For (one of many analyses of) how we got here I suggest Steven Brill’s “Tailspin – The People and Forces Behind America’s Fifty-Year Fall, etc.”

Any more doubts that the MSM (this including the academia, the non-profits, the civil rights groups) is the biggest hate group in America?
Any more doubts that America has become a failed state?
Is it too late for the Americans to dump their present ruling class and get a better one?

Mr. Dinh (or is it Mr. Linh? no disrespect) you are one of the most honest, perceptive and wisest living writers today, also most fearless. If there where one thousand like you I’d be willing to sit all night writing respectfully the same to each one. I’d like to buy you your favorite drink next time you are back in Philly, I’ll be 10 minutes away in Jersey, ready to come over.
May your God be with you and,
May God Help (obese and dumb) America

First, America (USA) is not an a nation; it may have been a nation way back when it was created but that has ceased being the case about 100 years ago when the melting pot stopped “melting” (see John Derbyshire). Now less so by the day if our rulers and masters have anything to say about it: Diversity is our Strength.
The rest? We can always hope.

Possibly OT but some of the contributors may remember Amiri Baraka,

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

After a long and “distinguished literary and academic career” he was taken under the wing of WHYY, the Jewish Leninist/Stalinist/Trotzkyst NPR affiliate organ in Philadelphia, carefully nurtured and with his “prestige” properly enhanced handed over to NJ where the then governor, Jim McGreevey, “the proud gay American”, made him the state poet laureate; at that time NJ was broke but less broke than today.
After the “Somebody blew up America” which he illadvisedly overdid by adding Israel’s Mossad as co-blowers of the Twin Towers when America would have been totally sufficient, proper and career enhancing he was out of there so fast you could see not so much as a blur; and he was about as BLACK as it gets.

Analysis is good and educational but why do we the PEOPLE allow this to be done to us and not start taking the necessary measures; like voting the scumbags out, like not consuming so much media crap, like….

What? SPLC is still around?

See, some do the “heavy lifting” and speak truth to power.
The MSM, the biggest hate group in America, in full glory: the TV arm of the MSM and the university arm as represented by the “professoress”.

While in the “lands of the free” the calls for increased censorship are increasing by the minute in the official media organs, private (MSM) or public (colleges and universities, governments).
