while Congress has an approval rating in the teens, the vast majority of incumbents are reelected

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…”
“You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”
“No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”
“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”
“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”
“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?”
“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”
“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”
“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”
“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”
“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?”

No need to wait. Take a drive through Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, East St. Louis. etc., right now. Just lock the doors first and drive real fast.

any other job leveraging high verbal IQ

Like the new Savonarola Ben Shapiru!

It’s totally not religious nepotism, it’s jut dem Jews got dis eah fur landwijes.

It really makes no difference what idiotic mythology informs the people

Didn’t get the memo, Mr. Race Realist? Jewish ain’t just a religion anymore, it’s a race. Even the Prez says so.

The illusion that treasury debt is the safest asset in the world will shatter and the dollar will, too.

REFCO on a global scale. Once the confidence goes and the bank run starts, there’s nothing to save it. But there’s a catch as to why it hasn’t happened yet, and it has less to do with Fed can-kicking than with this simple question: where’s everybody going to run to? A dead dollar sucks the entire world down the khazi (Chinese efforts notwithstanding), so everyone has a vested interest in keeping the plates spinning.

For now, it would take a large “outside” event, a major war or serious upset in the world’s energy infrastructure to break the machine. Fake numbers can be faked as needs must as long as all the main players have reason to pretend to believe them, and who really wants the ride to stop during their watch?

Here’s a start to solving the problem: proper labeling. If you have a mortgage, you are NOT a “homeowner”. You own bupkiss, you’re the bank’s tenant.

Even if you do own your home outright, we all know there’s another shark lurking in these waters, ready to sink your ship the instant you fail to pay the protection money.

When “intellectualism” became mere credentialism, especially now that all the “major” awards are completely converged and wholly concerned with reparations for writers of color.

Which “Hispanics” are we talking about anyhoo? The diary workers who speak no English and fairly shitty Spanish, or the woman I built an addition for who had a Spanish translation of Ford’s The International Jew on her bookshelf and complained to me about “all these dirty new immigrants”? It may have an effect on the results.

Still, I think these interests can be balanced with fair outcomes for everyone, if all are acting in good faith with sincere regard for everyone’s point of view. The question is whether that is realistic.

Civnattery for the workplace. “I’m sure the gays will assimilate, as long as we’re nice to them!”

When “low test scores” stopped mattering. When was the last time you heard of a “non-qualifier”? I mean, you have to an absolute dunderhead to not make it on the NCAA’s current “sliding scale”, which lets everybody slide on through.

https://www.athleticscholarships.net/academic-requirements.htm#d1d2slidingscale

It’s just one letter separating “underserved” from “undeserved”.

At the heart of the egalitarian left is the pathological belief that there is no structure of reality; that all the world is a tabula rasa that can be changed at any moment in any desired direction by the mere exercise of human will — in short, that reality can be instantly transformed by the mere wish or whim of human beings.

This also explains why these dullards like those craptastic Harry Potter books so bad.

Or did the English-speaking countries have some other cultural advantage, such as a greater interest in sport, less of a reliance on central government for direction, more initiative, or more sense of fair play?

The British (commercial) Empire. Many of the oldest and most famous football clubs in the world were founded by (and exclusively for, at least initially) British ex-pats. Football is also a sport that requires very little in the way of equipment, which is why most of “Anglosphere” sports which aren’t so simple (basketball, baseball, cricket) have only lately or never become international in scope.

David Reich’s contention that the past was a flurry of migrations and invasions

Much like the “solutions” for “climate change” that seem reasonable, even self-evident, to people who never wander away from the concrete-and-criminal hellpits that are modren ‘Murican cities, the notion of endless migration and constant population churn in our pedestrian past seems perfectly feasible to people whose longest “trek” in the last 30 years is from the couch to the refrigerator and back again.

Estragon: Nothing to be done.

Vladimir: I’m beginning to come round to that opinion.

In next week’s NYT:

What If Wakanda Invaded Gilead?: The White Supremacists’ Wet Dream!

In other words, Lysenkoism never goes out of style.

He ripped off Reservoir Dogs straight from Ringo Lam’s superior City On Fire.

This country is broke.

No country has ever been or will ever be wealthy enough carry a not-insignificant portion of population that is not just an economic drain but actively and willfully destructive.

“Start your “talk” using only a golf cart battery, not the standard marine deep cycle. After all, babies are precious little angels! Except the white ones.”

Urumqi is a 90% Han/Hui city created by Chinese people.

Two lies in one sentence. Well done.

Without oil or outside subsidy, Uighur lands would be poor as Tajikistan.

The same is true of Alaska.

It was Uighurs who decided to get in the face of Chinese people by migrating to Urumqi

“In the People’s Republic era, an active program to resettle Han population in Xinjiang was initiated. In 1960, there were 76,496 Uyghurs and 477,321 Han in Urumqi.”

ChiCom shills are less clever than Soros shills, and that’s a very low bar.

It has absolutely dick to do with “culture”, mon frère:

“The oil and gas extraction industry in Aksu and Karamay is booming, with the West–East Gas Pipeline connecting to Shanghai. The oil and petrochemical sector account for 60% of Xinjiang’s local economy.”

Today they would have been referred to as “counter-charity walkers”, engaging in “protest” over the “money being taken out of their neighborhoods”.

There’s another common thread among “white” serial killers. Can you guess what it is?

What the actual fuck is “sodomania”? Part of the Caught From Behind series?

A black man in Gotham City (really, New York) in 1981 suffering from the same mysterious mental illnesses as Fleck would be homeless and invisible.

Al Sharpton’s turned that same mental illness into a lifelong career.

In fact, however, as a Google search will confirm

A “DICTIONARY DEFINITION!” deflection that doesn’t even use a dictionary. Bullshit goes digital, thanks to Carrion Breath.

But Ryan also created a character so indelible, people remember her sandwich order, know how she feels about air conditioning and can recite her sex dreams from memory.

People obsess about this sort of silly shit all the time, even in terrible movies. It has almost nothing to do with the actor or their performance. The Rocky Horror Picture has hordes of morons acting it out scene for scene and word for word, and it’s a giant steamin’ load of musical muck.

The reference to “prove” this axiom is Brown vs. Board of Education, a blatant political decision that nothing to do with law and everything to do with GoodWhites “allowing” blacks into schools with poor whites, one of the original virtue signals.

“Segregation with the sanction of law, therefore, has a tendency to [retard] the educational and mental development of negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racial[ly] integrated school system.”

All that access to white people for over 60 years, and still nobody as “benefited”.

Which is why I appreciate Steve delivering this story without the usually obligatory picture of Tlaib with her mouth open (apparently nobody’s ever gotten a shot of her when her falafel hole isn’t flapping).

but feel a less intimidating approach should be taken

Cucky comments like this are always tagged onto the end of real talk about black crime, but of course, there’s never any realistic or feasible suggestion on offer. The people spouting such things are just thinking “Pleasenobodycallmeracistpleasenobodycallmeracistpleasnobosycallmeracist”.

What’s even funnier is the notion that the opposite will be true: that hoodrats would be able to comprehend Russian or Chinese. “What the fuck is this backwards letter sheeeit? And that Chink shit ain’t even words, it’s just scribbles!”

What’s “natural” about dreadlocks anyhoo? They originated in a zealous adherence of Jamaican cultists to a literal interpretation of Numbers 6:5, “‘During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over; they must let their hair grow long.”

It’s has nothing to do with “African heritage”, it’s purely a New World invention.

“Protect them” from what? Being coerced into participating in hate hoaxes?

By the way, as befits a Rand Corporation analyst, Becca Wasser is smarter than the average Let’s-talk-about-my-hair op-edster.

Is she? Maybe she has a clearer goal in mind, but it’s obvious she’s trying leverage “Token Female in a Male-Dominated Area” into a cushy corner office. Unfortunately, she’s discovered actual ability counted in the field she attempted to use her vaulting pole, and there’s no HR checklist checker to rescue her floundering ass.

So what does she do? Pens an op-ed in which she admits all the men are far better at the task, but still begs for her Pussy Pass to be honored. Doesn’t seem terribly clever, and it certainly isn’t original.

Your obsession is protruding like a black pornstar’s clit in wet sweatpants.

Not a leg to stand on in calling out “odd predilections”, Captain Projection.

Public apologies are garbage, those who ask for them are idiots, and those who believe they mean anything are at best naive simpletons.

“we sincerely apologize for the pain and anxiety these allegations have caused”

Allegations? The little bitched LIED. Did they come out and say that? Of course not, it’s couched in weaselly terms of “well it just happened ya know, act of God, completely unforeseeable happenstance, NO BLAME TO BE APPORTIONED TO ANYONE EVER (except the most worstest evil of “systemic racism, obviously)”.

“At least the family of the girl had the grace and the sense of shame to apologize.”

Seriously? Did you read the apology? I bet anything it was crafted by white advisors to the family. Grace had nothing to do with it.

All that I ever see in my mind when this subject raises its elaborately landscaped head:

The Chinese shot a film of the novel a few years ago but it has never been released, perhaps due to low quality. On the other hand, the Chinese film industry is opaque to outsiders so who knows what is going on.

SARFT rejects any sort of supernatural explanation for anything, so maybe the aliens in the movie don’t meet the ChiCom standard for realism.

I know nothing of the plot, but SARFT also objects strenuously to even the appearance of the “bad guys” winning, so that could also kill a release until the movie is “corrected”.

The late John McCain, mass murderer who never possessed a knife he didn’t want to plunge into the back of a putative ally, gets the most respect from Democrats and the least from Republicans

The most unsurprising revelation in this post. TDS is an exceptionally powerful disease, chronic but not terminal, strong enough to turn self-described liberals into swooning fans of a quintessential Republican stereotype, a self-righteous warmongering sycophant to fast talking hucksters and affluent sociopaths.

Ana Oppenheim from the Labour Campaign for Free Movement and the pro-EU group Another Europe is Possible said . . . “If we win, the next election will be the last election in which people like me are shut out of the democratic process.”

Israel wouldn’t give her a ballot? The poor dear.

U.S. gun culture is a product of the Cold War

It goes back much, much further than that, as does US interventionism.

Assault rifles and armed robbery. This is another increasing common event the frequency of which the MSM is failing to recognize.

If this were true, that might be a point, but “Muhammad” was just bullshitting because he knows “assault rifle” is the scary word du jour. Even blacks are vulnerable to BNBG, but armed robbery with an AK? No way.

Nice invisiglasses he’s got though.

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo

I think I spotted the problem.

how to play baseball better

The “three true outcomes” render 7 out 10 players on the field during any at-bat irrelevant. Is that really “better ” baseball?

My relationship with standup comedy has improved, especially since it started working on itself and trying to be a better partner.

the old establishment GOP strategy of bringing more minorities into the fold is what worked

How do you draw that conclusion? The differences are tiny, and the biggest ones are merely hypothetical.

Perhaps race just isn’t that big of a factor in American elections

Blacks and Hispanics are voting 70% to 90% Democrat but race isn’t that big of a factor?

the old Democratic Party platform of protecting working class interests remains quite popular

But it will never be as popular as breathless devotion to Israel and the House of Saud, at least among our “leaders”.

That humans and the things they indulge in tend to get fat and lazy is hardly a fresh and scintillating insight.

Ctrl+F reveals that the word “black” appears 35 times in Hank Willis Thomas’s Wikipedia entry

Wokenites often have the same vocabulary glitch as the Smurfs.

Zynga bought it for $228 million in 2012, and they’re selling because they’re dying. Even the smaller “profit” from this sale probably won’t save them. Besides, the entire system is a unsustainable fiction created by financialization of everything and kept alive solely by can-kicking and printing reams of fake “money”. It’s nothing to envy, and certainly nothing to aspire to.

“Problematic” is one of those I’ve-Been-to-College words.

Weeuns ruh-ral autodidacts just say “The boy ain’t right!”

“I fucking love science!” is the ultimate declaration of justification by faith alone, since the object of this adoration, the omniscient omnipotent SCIENCE!, has a shittier record of discerning truth than casting oracle bones:

So Dune is a book of prophecy? Who’s the real Kwisatz Haderach who can kill with a word?

I think it’s fair to say that most Christians would like their grandchildren to be Christians.

So what? Even if this is true, it reveals little about racial preferences, unless one assumes it’s always an either/or proposition, as you posit below.

So they might well prefer their children to marry black Christians rather than white atheists.

Or might well not. Just assumptions, which AE’s chart suggest are not so.

And I’m guessing that Pakistani Muslims would prefer their kid to marry a white Muslim rather than a Pakistani atheist SJW.

Again, “guessing”, and my guess is “Pakistanis” are far less forgiving of marrying outside their tribe, irrespective of religion, than many other groups.

All liberals would like their grandchildren to be liberals, regardless of colour.

Which actually says nothing about their preferences for marriage.

Correct is correct. Adding “technically” is a technique incorrectly applied by disingenuous twats.

Haha!

You put your work in the public square and then expect to be cuddled and cooed over with gentleness?

There is no affirmative action here. Your article openly calls for discrimination against a group that out performs blacks in every measure academically and culturally. On the rice paper thin thesis: Good test takers are not valuable to society?

Its a solid enough weeding out process. If the majority of American blacks were admitted and evaluated on non curved scores alone, most would only meet community college standards that have rolling admissions, and that would be the pinnacle of their academic lives.

Meritocracy is the only sane and just path.

I’m guessing that most people would feel differently about their daughter deciding to marry a subcontinental Hindu or a nice South Korean Christian boy.

Would they? That’s a very doubtful assumption.

Why not both?

“Not only can this be a noose, it can be a FUSE!”

No noose is good noose, and that’s no noose.

What percent of “hate crimes” turn out to be true?

Of the ones that get any MSM play, even just at the local level? Damn close to zero.

The hijackers were recruited from and funded by Saudi Arabia. Osama bin Laden lived in Pakistan,

And the US is obvious never going to attack those two great and useful ‘allies’, so Afghanistan, with its fundamental Islamic leadership, it was. Simplistic? Yes, but remember who was Prez and Vice-Prez at the time.

Part of the reason many parochial schools are in dire financial straits, especially the all-girl ones: in the drive to be “accommodating”, they’ve turned themselves into little more than expensive versions of the better public schools, and why would parents want to pay more for what their tax dollars already provide?

I still can’t believe my last reply to Tiny Dunk got banjaxed by the Granny Grunt moderators. It was freakin’ perfect.

It did not seem like a moral victory for our children to grow up hating their species and themselves

This is the world you and your useless kind strove for. Go cry to someone who can still muster a singular fuck for your whiny self-righteous ass.

Disappointed that he wasn’t able to sacrifice his child for IPPs to crow about to people who hate him anyway. All that education and still a clueless maroon.

fear of impure infection

So Alfie is a bug chaser who wants to get the HIV? And what would a “pure infection” be?

restoration of natural harmony

And Alfie’s also a climate change denialist, since “restoring natural harmony” is now “far right” and therefore very very icky?

It’s not just their politics that are childish and moronic, so are their basic modes of expression.

To be explicit, not only is there no single gene that underpins ‘racial’ differences, but there is not even a single base pair.”

It’s always a good move to base your thesis on a counterargument to something your opponents have never claimed. Many non-racial differences are the result of multiple genes, so why would racial differences be any different? No one credibly is positing that there is a magical “white” or “black” gene that determines everything about someone, but that racial differences at the genetic level do exist and are discernible and demonstrable.

Despite her limited education, she was among the party loyalists sent to watch over the university

Is Buckley pretending here, or is he really this dense? Who better to “watch over” suspect intellectuals than someone doggedly loyal yet none too bright, and resentful towards those more educated?

It seems like most #Me Too accusations have been initiated by women in Comrade Nie’s age group – 45 and up. If any younger women have come forward, it is usually only after older women made the first accusations regarding how they were once harassed (usually back when they were in their teens or 20’s). (Amusingly, some of these women were “harassed” repeatedly for years and years and didn’t seem to object at the time but kept going back for more – gluttons for punishment I guess.)

It seems like women use sex as a weapon against their enemies only when all possibility of their using it as a tool for personal advancement are exhausted, either because their own allure is gone or because the accused career is in shambles and he is no longer in a position to help them anyway.

Pure Pimp Philosophy. Mugabe is what happens when the old head on the corner, drinking out of a brown paper bag and sharing his “wisdom” with anyone who’ll listen, gets to be dictator for life. There are worse fates for a nation, I suppose.

The cornerstone assertion of the Declaration of Independence is that government exists in order to secure the equal, inalienable rights of persons. This is . . . the official ideology of the United States

I did pretty well in school, so I must have been home with the chicken pox when they covered the “official ideology” bit.

Now that I know this, I’m lining up the most high-powered lawyers in the land to sue everygoddamnbody for denying my (apparently legally enforceable) right to the pursuit of happiness. I mean, how can I pursue happiness if I have to work all the damn time just to survive? America, you owe me.

Only by having no standards could any of these women ever be considered “beautiful”. They all also appear to be in serious need of some exercise. Maybe less fretting about hair and more walking up stairs.

Well, then guess it’s time to shut down the NYPD permanently. I mean, if you can’t slap extra years on someone based on assumptions of what was in their mind during the crime, why even have a “justice” system? It’s a waste of resources.

On the plus side, even though there’s no hate crimes to charge, at least the NYT got a story out of it in which they get to unload gems like the notion that “the alt-right” and “Donald Trump” are “traditional causes of anti-Jewish behavior”.
