BTW, here is a photo of Kamala’s ‘deputy’ who said she ain’t doin no border..

She’ll probably be Kamala’s Chief of Staff, or maybe Secy of State.
Or maybe vice-president.
Her website claims:
In 2016, at the age of 25, Sanders became the youngest presidential press secretary on record.
If you object to this–because, for example, it’s not factual–we know what you are.
“Sailer regularly vanishes some of my stuff”
Sailer sends your stuff to me, I transmit it to Jerry’s Rancheria. The decision regarding what to do with your stuff is made there. But not by Jerry.
Yes, and this was basically Biden and Kamala each trying to gift the other with basket of turds. The fix for the border is simple but politically impossible — just do what Trump did. Deport a lot of illegals, toughen up work enforcement, jail executives for employing illegals (with FBI SWAT raids at dawn), build more border fence, and beef up the border patrol and let them do what they need to do in order to keep the rush to the border down.
No one can do that because Trump did it. And therefore they have to do the opposite.
So we will soon have 45 million at the border, turning California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas immediately into Greater El Salvador. With cartels ruling. Not the US. Not the State governments. Not Biden. CARTELS.
Collecting taxes, enforcing regulations, doing shakedowns, etc. Whites will be an easy and first target but blacks being a violent threat to Cartels will be dealt with. Some Whites will find accomodations as chemists, logistical people, etc. for the ruling Cartels. As people in Mexico find accomodation. The US government will not control great parts of the US anymore.
As the various power players in the Biden Admin fight each other: Susan Rice and the Obamaites, Buttgig and the gay mafia, the Sanders Communist crowd, the remnants of the Clinton machine (Look Upon My stained blue dress, ye mighty, and despair!) the Cartels will seize more and more territory until the fleeing Whites start to fight back on their own; and the US just collapses as China invades Taiwan, possibly Japan and who knows, maybe Russia invades Alaska. It must be tempting for Putin. The US is completely weak, besotten with tranny tyranny because that’s half the weirdos in Silicon Valley. Any nation that has some mentally ill Jewish man in a dress and a wig as a serious official is easy prey for other ambitious and dangerous enemies.
“the harris [sic] biden [sic] administration [sic] seems to be imploding in front of us”
I wonder if the Obama mafia is regretting its choice for shadow president. These rancid people have thoroughly seeded the national security state with their agents; they’re not stupid, at least not conventionally. Their obliviousness to Kamala’s sheer awfulness can only be explained by elite-bubble mentality or their ownership of the security state.

“The vice president is not doing the border,” Harris’s senior adviser and chief spokeswoman Symone Sanders told reporters on Friday.

Hopefully she doesn’t do the border the way she did Willie Brown.

That summer she sat on Joe’s lap as he shot the breeze with her dad out on the porch… That time she and hunter wondered off alone into the moonlight as their dads did some bonding of their own raising cash for the democrats, etc., etc..
I am not aware of any trick outside of fetishization of women that allows one to stand being with them.
The same likely goes the other way. The moment a girl stops perceiving a guy as a sex object her whatever dries up like the whatever.
Now with various mating and marriage rituals successfully deconstructed, this ability to objectivize each other and get horny from this, is the last thing standing between us and total atomization.
Keeping in mind that the biochemical emotional firestorms arising at certain times in one’s lifecycle, which used to be encoded culturally “OMG I must be madly in love with X”, and “OMG I’m heartbroken” are now being aggressively reencoded into “OMG I must be gay” and “OMG I must be trans” (plus “OMG my brain chemistry must be all wrong save me big pharma!”), harnessing the same energy but funneling it into new “identities” and “conditions”, basic fetishization and objectivization of each other is all that’s left to keep the boinking alive.
These days even the older “just let’s all bang each other” agenda, now that it’s served it’s purpose in dismantling older social structures, is now being phased out and replaced with “let’s just all sit at home and use sex toys stoned while we watch porn/camwhores”, we ain’t seen nothing yet about what real atomization is.
Fetishization and objectivization (in real time, face to boobs) is the last fence they need to beak down.
You're looking at it from one perspective; from an internet perspective, where one sees all this kind of stuff constantly, along with constant verbal assaults directed at one another, and thinks that's all there is.

OT: I don’t know what to make of the poetry by the mayor of Charlottesville.


Instapundit thinks she may be trying to escape a corruption investigation.
Being mayor must be a hard slog.
The mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia has turned heads after posting graphic poetry on her social media accounts, with lines about how the city “rapes” its citizens condemned as “X-rated” and inappropriate for a public official.
Mayor Nikuyah Walker took to her Facebook page on Wednesday with a poem – apparently her own work – describing the city with bizarre, sexually-explicit metaphors.
Well, it's not a "poem", just the usual black explainer.
The post soon caused a stir, not only with netizens but with Facebook itself, which promptly deleted the poem for violating the platform’s standards “on adult sexual exploitation,” and temporarily locked Walker out of her account.
However, the platform inexplicably reversed the move soon thereafter. The mayor quickly declared she was “out of FB jail,” adding “I guess my post didn’t violate their policies.” The original post was reinstated.
Sorry, Madame Mayor. That was a "flitering algorithm", or "AI" in marketing-speak.
Though the mayor has not backed down amid the criticism, she did post a longer, marginally less vulgar version of her poem in apparent bid to appease her detractors – or at least “the person who reported my short poem to FB.”

It appears that – among mass shooters – whites and Hispanics are underrepresented while blacks, Asians, Middle Easterners, and American Indians are overrepresented. It appears, though, that the the black and Asian overrepresentation is relatively minor. The two categories that are massively overrepresented are Middle Easterners – only 0.4% of the population, but 7.6% of the mass shooters, meaning overrepresented by 19x – and American Indians – 1% of the population and 3.8% of the mass shooters.
Similarly, Christians and Jews are underrepresented while Muslims are vastly overrepresented – 0.8% of the population, yet 9% of the mass shooters or 11.25x the population share.
Thank you for the data. As a pro-White American who believes that rising heterogeneity poses a long-term existential threat to our civilization, I strongly support a nationwide immigration moratorium--at least from Third World regions. At the same time, it does not surprise me that a Syrian refugee living in America might be full of rage. After all, Zionist-friendly Washington has been undermining, subverting, and intermittently bombing Syria for years. Decades. Problem is, repeated, unjustified mass killings often make people mad. Crazy mad.As a generic, unaffiliated, US-born white guy, it even bugs the shit out of me. Obviously, no policies out of Washington--no matter how barbaric--justify the mass murder of innocents. At the same time, does it not interest you that there might be a connection?Why does the world's greatest military power find it necessary to repeatedly destabilize/annihilate small and distant Mideast nations? (This is a rhetorical question. Most UNZ readers know precisely WHY.)Think for a moment: What would happen if the roles were reversed?Don't worry. It could never happen. Not here. (America is still too useful.)But it does happen. To Arabs and Persians.Sanctioned, subsidized, and sanitized immoral conduct sometimes drives people bat-shit crazy. Then there's blowback.

The VDARE story by Steve Sailer, an anti-immigration activist who traffics in discredited race science, focused on instances in which the United States offered refugees temporary protected status. The article was posted the same day Miller shared it with McHugh.
I thought Homer Simpson worked in a nuclear power station?
Yeah, that was the “lost ancient ancient high technology.” The pyramids were power stations. The metal brackets between megalithic blocks were electrical connectors, etc., etc.
😉
This is a pretty interesting distinction that you point out, the copper around the Great Lakes is frequently native copper, that is, it’s just chunks of pure copper, not various oxides or compounds of copper like you see in most places. So there’s no smelting that needs to be done, you just hammer the copper into the shape that you want–in that respect it’s not really any different from chipping a piece of obsidian or flint into the shape that you want.
In contrast the old world developed smelting, that is, getting the metal from its ores; typically this was done by placing copper oxides in a flame of incompletely combusted wood; the carbon monoxide would pull of the oxygen to make carbon dioxide, leaving pure copper. (Of course this is a vast oversimplification but Youtube is full of primitive technology videos that illustrate the basic process.)
Smelting is much harder than just picking up copper off the ground, but it’s also a much more powerful technology. You can use a wide variety of ores rather than relying on the rare deposits of native copper. You can also use the same technique to purify other metals. Actually pretty much any common metal other than aluminum and titanium can be reduced by carbon monoxide. So you can keep the same basic process for different ores.
It even works for iron, the only issue for iron is that the melting point is higher and usually wood fires don’t get hot enough. So instead of dripping into a nice chunk of solid copper, you have itty bitty iron prills mixed with silicates and other junk and you have to pound the red hot ‘bloom’, as its called, to mechanically crush and squeeze out all the silicates and other slag. So iron technology took a little longer to develop.
Anyway, tl;dr; Native Americans were never really in the metal age, they were just a special case of the stone age.
Yup, it was the moon-eyed people. They were demographically replaced.
Yeah, I’m still down that rabbit hole.
Check out this skull found near the Lake Superior copper mines, if the info is correct:

Looks like those Paracas skulls in Peru. A “lost ancient high technology” guy did a dna test to find no native American dna in those ancient skulls I think. I don’t think he found any alien DNA, either. He is quite convincing that the shape is not due to head binding in most of the skulls though.
Maybe they got woke and went broke. I have plenty of ancestors in that region, and according to 23andme, native American dna in the mix, so hopefully an ancestor was a wisconsin miner.
I always enjoy the “lost ancient high technology” youtube videos with nice shots of the amazing megalithic stone work in Peru, Egypt and other places around the world. They don’t seem to want to radiocarbon date any surrounding organic material (like in the cracks or under it) unfortunately, but often claim a “cataclysmic event” 12,000 years ago that led to those society’s downfall.
The usual thesis is that the incas or Egyptians or others built their great works on the ruins of pre-existing structures, but could never match the quality of the originals. Once you see the the videos though you can’t unsee it. The high quality work is always underneath the lower quality, newer work.
The evidence for the Missoula flood is pretty unambiguous. There is a huge area of arid exposed terrain much bigger than the grand canyon. Geology is not the most exact science but it's not like psychology.

It turns out Mr. Long spent many, many months last year at a mysterious clinic in which “therapists” spent much time working on 20 year old Mr. Long’s mind, supposedly to cure his “sex addiction”.
(Evidently they failed . . .)
An unnamed “roommate” who had not seen Mr. Long in months, alerted the cops as to Mr. Long’s identity, before any public identification was possible. On the basis of this secretive ex-“roommate”, the cops then set up the roadblock on I-75 and captured Long.
I know one thing:
We will not hear anything further about the clinic, the “roommate”, the doctors/therapists, the “treatment”, Long’s “recovery”, follow-up visits with the clinic, the “transition house”, or anything else which might actually have something to do with these awful murders. Especially if that clinic was doing “research” that was of interest to any three-letter federal agencies . . .
No, both the legacy press and social media will focus solely on the Crabapple Baptist Church, guns, “anti-Asian attacks”, and “toxic white racism.” (Never mind that two of the victims were white!)

White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect.

A relative wanted to be a ballerina since she was three. Her parents encouraged her “dream” to the extent of allowing her to get an online GED so she could study dance full time in her teens. She eventually got a spot in professional ballet just in time for the WuFlu to shut performances down. Now, at 20, she’s broke and being treated for depression.
Even before The Plague I maintained this was child abuse. Ballerinas are risking anorexia and crippling injuries for what is, for most, a brief and low-paying career. Best case scenario is they become ballet teachers and continue the scam.

Many traditional cultures have means by which pubescent girls can somewhat de-emphasize their sexuality for a few years until they make their debut in society in their later teens as a lovely young woman ready to be wooed. Maybe what our adolescent girls need is less gender-bending and more gender-pending in which anxious adolescent girls get to escape the social media spotlight until they are more ready.
This is why Billie Eilish is a phenomenon with that age group, she made it acceptable for teenage girls to wear really baggy clothing. In the age of Instagram prostitute Kardashian clones, she presented a socially cool alternative for tween girls that allows them to de-sexualize themselves.

“As thieves get more and more brazen they do more and more brazenly things. I’m not making that up.”
No description of the thieves, other than they came out of a white luxury car.
Well, this happened on March 4:

March 3 was the day that Luke Wilson discovered he was in idiocracy.
Yup, we’re there.
At least Camacho was in charge and looking for good advisors.
Joe Biden seems to be caught on camera every day asking what he is supposed to do next.
Yesterday he asked if anyone had any questions, which was apparently the cue to cut his mic and camera feed.
All of this invented QAnon ‘conspiracy’ being peddled by the usual morons reminds me of Junior High “rumors” that would spread via small crumpled notes laying around.
Along the lines of “everyone who is queer will wear blue on Thursday.”
Ha! Yet most avoided blue on Thursday.
These Dem agitprop types relying on fake news will invent it out of whole cloth if necessary. Their next step will be to authorize special medals and bonuses for “heroism” for anyone on the government payroll who was anywhere near the Capitol during the “riot”, a/k/a peaceful protest. Of course cops will not be eligible.
The Swalwell/Pelosi Medal of Enormous Courage Under Fire.
The Chinese are shipping them to DC as you read this. Soon the entire House Dem leadership will be strutting around with more dazzling medals on their chests than the May Day Soviet Politburo.
You keep pretending that QAnon is not a threat but in fact these dangerous insurrectionists showed up in Washington today intending to overthrow our government. Had not the Capitol been protected by 11,000 National Guard troops and the Congress in hiding, they might well have succeeded. You are treating this as if it’s all a big joke and something ginned up by Democrats to excite their base and take away more of our civil liberties, but people, this is REAL. Look at the dangerous mob in the photo below. That woman probably has bear spray in her purse which she is intending to use to murder Federal agents.

If BLM is responsible for getting an extra 2,000 Black Lives Murdered last year, that works out to $45,000 per life that BLM owes to the victims’ families from their $90 million haul. Of course, which were the excess deaths and which were not….
BLM should hope that the victims’ families don’t read Steve.
However, if Mr. Brown’s charging at the police car was the impetus for BLM, then perhaps he is indirectly responsible for all those thousands of extra deaths.
Who was responsible for raising him to rob cigars from liquor stores in the first place?
Regardless, all the murders are a real tragedy, and it is very sad that they are increasing and will likely continue increasing with current policies.
Are they? Is it? I'd go with 'real predictable' and 'very tiring' myself

Now I understand the baggy pants of the ghetto. Besides concealing a sawn-off shotgun, they can be turned inside-out without lifting your feet from the pavement. Just in case you cross some gang's territorial line and have to change colors quickly.
John Brennan is the only man in the world who shows a coat can be turned in multiple dimensions at once.
That must have been Hansel’s trick.
If John Brennan were in SAG, he’d probably get a lot of work. He ‘d be typecast as the corrupt, thuggish police commissioner, CEO, military general, or CIA head.
Now Brennan is just a thug who allegedly took a pledge to Islam. Give him two years to come out as a trans-thug. Just going with the flow. Brennan was a prime architect of the Russia hoax. Susan Rice is a Mocha Mafia thug but being female she tones down her act to be very slippery. She is the power behind the throne along with Mocha Mafia Obama. Valerie Jarret and Kamala round out this DC based Mafia.
Kamala just arrived in DC so she is a junior member of this Mafia and will follow directions from Rice and Obama once they get rid of that annoying stale pale male Biden. Jill Biden will try to keep her husband propped up Weekend at Bernie’s style for as long as possible, counter acting the Mocha Mafia.
Especially when he speaks in his beloved Arabic.

March 3rd!
Just a day away!

Clears away the cobwebs,

The depth and breadth of colors in his coat are dizzying. From communist student radical to islam lover to cia officer to corrupt defense contractor CEO to cia chief, and all the while screwing the country.

Judging by the wonderfully verbose emails that I used to regularly receive from the Nigerian elite — both in government and royalty — I’m actually not so surprised about this.
Further, I have personally witnessed Nigerians cleverness in business on trips to Asia, when I figured out that the African Americans selling all the expensive hip hop clothing to the Japanese kids were in fact all Nigerians. I also saw them promoting their nightclubs there, but never dared enter any, lest I be outsmarted and lose all of my money, which I had heard happened to some of their customers somehow.
I have heard similar stories of Nigerians in China, and in fact sometimes read about Nigerians in other African countries running into problems one way or another. They do seem to succeed all over the world, and, like in Scrabble, their reputation seems to precede them in many places.
I once looked at a Nigerian website trying to figure something else out and there seemed to be a lot of discussion about the Igbo. Lots and lots of verbosity in fact.
So I perhaps this all makes sense.

Well, auto response thinking. Our intuition is being driven by someone else. Maybe that is what Kahneman was talking about in the first place.
I may have lost track of the original post.
Maybe if they can get people to behave that way automatically without thinking they know that they then have them all the way due to cognitive dissonance, etc. Classical persuasion.
Once you put your gender pronouns down somewhere when asked you are signing your name to the whole program.
i'd love to hear some examples or expansion on this.
Sometimes I think culture sits on top of all of this, especially at the fast thinking level. When I watch Japanese people interact with each other or to some situation and then compare them to Japanese Americans, I see how thinking is affected by culture.
i’d love to hear some examples or expansion on this.
To generalize, and of course imho, from a young age there is a huge oppressive (and beautiful) Japanese culture smothering everything that informs people’s reactions and thinking right off the bat. Who is above or below whom, who owes whom what, what is the proper protocol in this precise, exact situation in this particular season, etc, etc., etc. I last lived there over 20 years ago, and of course I could avoid it (and was expected to avoid it) not being Japanese. But even gaijin start to feel that stuff after being there for a while. I vaguely remember once going to a traditional style Japanese restaurant with some friends who were visiting from the US. Somehow one of our party had forgotten to take off their shoes and was traipsing all over the tatami in his wet outdoor shoes. Horrors!!! Catastrophe!!! My shame was instantaneous and heart-felt. How could I have allowed such a thing without noticing! He didn’t really care so much. “Oops! No one told me I had to!”
I feel bad when I see Japanese people visit the US, and they have to spend all of their time and money getting souvenirs for all of their friends and acquaintances back home. And if they can’t do that they feel terrible. Maybe it is not as bad as it used to be though.
In the US cultural norms and taboos are changing, and we are starting to see something similar, imo. Like if someone called someone a ni**er or someone else a fa**ot or something, those might have been rude fighting words in the past, but now seem to be the worst thing ever. Like wearing wet shoes on tatami. People’s reactions are immediate. To a lesser extent, discussing iSteve-type stuff in public is also very quickly frowned on by many wearing their fast thinking on their sleeves, and you might find yourself outed on social media or something, and soon out of a job. Imagine if some comedian from the 70’s got in a time machine and tried out his shtick today. Very problematic!
Like being a gaijin in Japan, being ASD in America might provide some relief.
I need an official ASD card on a lanyard around my neck.
Why Do Smart Guys Love Kahneman’s “Thinking, Fast and Slow”?
Dopamine hits from bias confirmation.
My new theory is that twitter/sjw/cancel culture is a virus that has infected the social fast twitch thinking center of people’s brains. It could get in so easily because that area is pre-logic. Like toxoplasmosis or something, this sets people up to be taken advantage of.
We need some operation warp speed meme vaccine asap.
Or maybe it’s already too late.

Dance a jig with me, would ya?
There's a good reason for that. Reasoning is slow, inefficient and often clumsy. If you're playing a sport and your opponent has to stop to think about something, nine times out of ten you've got him beat. The same applies in many intellectual tasks such as law. The lawyer who knows stuff will usually beat the one who has to figure it out even if their IQ is comparable.
The point isn’t whether Kahneman is “tricking” us into coming to the wrong conclusion in cases like Linda the bank teller. It is that we seem to have an extraordinary and powerful attraction to thinking in terms of representativeness rather than of pure logic. In this sense, Kahneman’s results might be understood as demonstrating just how easy it is for people to be tricked in this particular way — how much more inclined we are on average to leap to the intuitive, but wrong, conclusion rather than the logical one.
I read “Mindblindness” by Borat’s cousin about 20 years ago (a reader here clued me in to the fact that he’s a schmuck too) and one of the things that stuck with me from that book is that while animals evolve various advantages, like speed, claws, sharp teeth, wings or whatever, ancestors to humans evolved a big social brain that could very quickly discern friend from foe (prey from predator) before one became the prey due to a slow response. The large social group of allies became the evolved evolutionary advantage, or something lile that. He argued that huge brain resources are devoted to this, without most people being aware of it at all.
Of course, autistic folks don’t process things the same way, and their brains end up having to use logic to figure out why someone is staring at something, etc and why their fast twitch social skills are so poor, but their pattern recognition might be superior.
I think that Thomas Sowell said that the word “slave” came from the word “Slav,” but I don’t think he is correct about that.
Anyway, it’s nice to see the Slavs clean up in the court I suppose.
OT: I have no idea what to think of this, fast or slow, other than looking forward to Steve’s post on the finished product.

Thinking a little more slowly, I suppose it will be interesting to see the genius addition to the body of the superman canon, and am sure the film will embody the essence of the true SuperMan such that everybody will be left in awe at this reembodiment of this up to now clearly disembodied concept of the one true SuperMan
Sometimes I think culture sits on top of all of this, especially at the fast thinking level. When I watch Japanese people interact with each other or to some situation and then compare them to Japanese Americans, I see how thinking is affected by culture.
I also think twitter/sjw/cancel culture is starting to do something similar to Americans. Conversations with coworkers show me that lots of strange stuff is getting ingrained at the fast thinking level because people need to stay employed. At some level they are starting to get dumber though.
Maybe Steve can write a less Aspergery book that starts with real-world mistakes that people commonly make because their fast twitch thinking has been contaminated by twitter/sjw etc. culture. Maybe their slow thinking too, because ideas are getting cancelled too.

I wonder if joebama will propose that folks like barak, whose one black parent was flown over to the US for grad school in Hawaii (and the 17 year old undergrads there) and then offered a spot at harvard deserve these reparations too?
I have met a few black Americans who have no American slave ancestors, but I didn’t ask them for their opinions on reparations.
The other guy probably learned from Steve too.
Recently I was looking into supreme court justices and was reading about the origins of “falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic” (the original wording.
It seems to me that this kind of thing is very similar to that situation.
