Biden Faces Intense Pressure From All Sides as He Seeks Diverse Cabinet
The pressure on the Democratic president-elect is intense, even as his efforts to ensure ethnic and gender diversity already go far beyond those of President Trump. And it’s coming from all sides.
By Michael D. Shear and Annie Karni
Dec. 12, 2020WASHINGTON — The head of the N.A.A.C.P. had a blunt warning for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. when Mr. Biden met with civil rights leaders in Wilmington this week.
Nominating Tom Vilsack, a secretary of agriculture in the Obama administration, to run the department again would enrage Black farmers and threaten Democratic hopes of winning two Senate runoffs in Georgia, the N.A.A.C.P. head, Derrick Johnson, told Mr. Biden.
“Former Secretary Vilsack could have a disastrous impact on voters in Georgia,” Mr. Johnson cautioned, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by The Intercept. Mr. Johnson said Mr. Vilsack’s abrupt firing of a popular Black department official in 2010 was still too raw for many Black farmers despite Mr. Vilsack’s subsequent apology and offer to rehire her.
How many black farmers are there? I never hear about any except in relationship to government pandering. This NPR articles says blacks make up 1.34% of farmers in the U.S.
The late baseball slugger Dick Allen came from a Northern farm town, Wampum, PA, but I suspect that contributed to his notorious problems getting along with people, because Northern rural blacks are so rare that they just seem weird to most Americans. Allen, who died recently at age 78 in Wampum, was a fairly high IQ Northern hick black, which is just really rare. He was a pretty interesting individual, but his personality was kind of orthogonal to everybody else’s.
Mr. Biden promptly ignored the warning. Within hours, his decision to nominate Mr. Vilsack to lead the Agriculture Department had leaked, angering the very activists he had just met with.
The episode was only one piece of a concerted campaign by activists to demand the president-elect make good on his promise that his administration will “look like America.” In their meeting, Mr. Johnson and the group also urged Mr. Biden to nominate a Black attorney general and to name a White House civil rights “czar.”
Civil rights and czars just go together …
Did Trump ever appoint anybody the Czar of anything? Or did he think this 45 year old Washington tradition going back to the 1970s Energy Czar seem lame?
The pressure on the Democratic president-elect is intense, even as his efforts to ensure ethnic and gender diversity already go far beyond those of President Trump, who did not make diversity a priority and often chose his top officials because they looked the part.
As opposed to making them look like America?
And it is coming from all sides.
When Mr. Biden nominated the first Black man to run the Pentagon this week, women cried foul. L.G.B.T.Q. advocates are disappointed that Mr. Biden has not yet named a prominent member of their community to his cabinet. Latino and Asian groups are angling for some of the same jobs.
… But the rollout of Mr. Biden’s cabinet and White House picks has created angst among many elements of the party. While some say he appears hamstrung by interest groups, others point out that his earliest choices included four white men who are close confidants to serve as chief of staff, secretary of state, national security adviser and his top political adviser, leaving the impression that for the administration’s most critical jobs Mr. Biden planned to rely on the same cadre of aides he has had for years.
I’m shocked, shocked to learn that for the administration’s most critical jobs Mr. Biden planned to rely on the same cadre of aides he has had for years.
“Added consternation,” the leader of one advocacy group in Washington said of Mr. Biden’s initial picks.
Glynda C. Carr, the president of Higher Heights for America, a political action committee dedicated to electing progressive Black women, said there was a feeling of defeat that Mr. Biden had not awarded key jobs in his cabinet to Black women, as the group had hoped.
How long until the New York Times starts capitalizing the W in “women” when it comes after “Black?” Their rules for capitalization appears insufficiently reverential for the peak of the Intersectional Heap: “Black Women but not white women …”
Susan Rice, a Black woman who was United Nations ambassador and national security adviser in the Obama administration, had been seen as a candidate for secretary of state. Instead, she will become the director of Mr. Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, a position that does not require Senate confirmation. Representative Marcia L. Fudge of Ohio, another Black woman, was passed over for secretary of agriculture, the job she and her allies had pushed for, and instead was nominated to be secretary of housing and urban development.
Both the state and agriculture jobs went to white men instead.
… Women’s groups were also disappointed by Mr. Biden’s decision to pick General Austin for defense secretary instead of Michèle Flournoy, a longtime senior Pentagon official who had been seen as the leading contender for the job for months.
It did not help Mr. Biden’s case with women that he also chose Xavier Becerra, the California attorney general, as the health and human services secretary over Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, who was singled out as a likely candidate for the job just days before she was passed over.
Picking General Austin also did not assuage civil rights leaders like the Rev. Al Sharpton, who is adamant about the need for a Black attorney general, or at least someone with a background on voting rights enforcement. …
Mr. Sharpton has also been clear about who he will not accept. He said Black activists would not support any position for Rahm Emanuel, the former chief of staff for President Barack Obama whose legacy as mayor of Chicago he condemns because of Mr. Emanuel’s handling of the killing of Laquan McDonald, a Black teenager, in 2014 by a police officer. …
As Mr. Biden mulls his choices for interior secretary, a coalition of Democrats, Native Americans, liberal activists and Hollywood celebrities is pressing him to appoint Representative Deb Haaland of New Mexico, a Native American, instead of Senator Tom Udall, Democrat of New Mexico and a longtime friend of Mr. Biden’s.
You know, maybe, Joe wants a Cabinet full of his old pals for if and when the VP tries to get the Cabinet to throw him out under the 25th Amendment?
Joe doesn’t sound happy with AOC’s criticism:

Mickey Kaus thinks that Biden is filling the majority of cabinet postions with trusted friends as a 25th Amendment coup prophylactic measure. The non-cabinet, non-25th Amendment “The President is disabled” voting positions can be safely filled with potential backstabbers.
It says here that by December of 2021 Biden will be history, having finished playing the role for which he was originally cast--namely to pave the way for Woman of Color Harris to step into the Oval Office, thus making every prog's ultimate wet dream come true. And when (not"if") Woman of Color Harris appoints a homosexual VP (probably Pete Bootie), Our Betters will have yet a second collective orgasm.
Bet on it.Replies: @MBlanc46
So–upon rereading the piece–it appears that the message is that Joe Biden is another racist white male. Why didn’t we expect this? Is he going to build more wall too?
The obvious solution is that no white males should be permitted to hold any office whatsoever. Yeah, sounds crazy right? Just watch.
Joe’s days are numbered.

Just as 'homosexual marriage' came to pass.
Makes me wonder if the Democrats have stepped up their public pressure on Diane Feinstein to resign because of her dementia, and for the good of the country, because they want to establish a plausible precedent when they decide to pull the 25th Amendment trigger on President Biden.
He probably wants old friends on his cabinet who won’t enact the 25th amendment. Those will tend to be White guys who couldn’t care less about White people in general, but will protect an old friend.
That would be a liberating perspective to have as President. (Although it would be counterproductive to announce such an intent publicly.)
I thought that was an employment bureau for retired generals who would take up all these government positions that nobody else wanted.
Look on the bright side: there were six whites among his first twelve appointments — but if you count Kerry as one, they were all Jews.
But don’t get upset. You shouldn’t do anything. Remember that.

Kerry's maternal-side relations are bluebloods and his paternal-side relations have had zero to do with any aspect of the Jewish community for 120 years. Hid first wife was another blueblood Episcopalian and his 2d was a Portuguese colonist in East Africa. Kerry and his 2d wife are associated with the Jesuit Urban Center in Boston.
Any relation?
‘…Mr. Sharpton has also been clear about who he will not accept…’
I’m trying to recall Sharpton’s constitutional position here: drawing a blank.
And old, terribly old…
“…it appears that the message is that Joe Biden is another racist white male”
Charon, could a more perfect White privileged man have been elected? Xiden, with family in tow, or should I say wake, will soon reek of being the compulsively lying, terminally corrupt, decrepit example #1 of what the good woke have long suspected is all straight White men.
Won’t that far off before Trump and family appear choir ready in comparison.
Yes, Joe Biden’s cabinet is as diverse as any synagogue in America. He’s got a Cuban Jew (Mayorkas), a Polish Jew (Yellen), a Hungarian Jew (Blinken), plus another Jew of indeterminate origins (Klain).
The six most important cabinet and cabinet-level positions are chief of staff, the traditional Big Four (Defense, State, Treasury, Justice) and Homeland Security, which deals with immigration. One of those six (Defense) has been filled by a black man. One (Justice) is yet unfilled. The other four have all been filled by Jews.
Lower level cabinet positions like Agriculture and Vetsrans Affairs (so far the only two filled by white gentiles) are almost irrelevant.
When is it going to be acceptable to discuss the complete non-diversity of Democratic administrations in the context of the dominant role played by Jews? We will almost certainly hear no end of how “white” this administration is. But almost nowhere will we read that most of those “whites” are Jewish. It is acceptable to say that whites have too much power, even though whites (including the Jews) in Biden’s cabinet won’t be much more than their share of the overall population. But for some reason it is unacceptable to say that Jews are over represented, even though they will already be at least 25% of the cabinet, even if he appoints no more, versus just 2-3% of the population.
My guess is that he will satisfy the LGBTQ crowd by picking Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is lesbian and Jewish, to run Justice.
The LGBTQ’s will think it’s about them, but really it will once again be about satisfying his Jewish donors.
Maybe Trump should just concede and spend the next 4 years letting the Democrats rip each other apart over appointments, covid, and the recession.
It’d be funny.
Meanwhile, Trump should forge international alliances with Alt-Right parties in Europe and the Anglosphere, while occasionally taking shots at Biden’s ineptitude.
The rest of us should infiltrate the Biden side and quietly push for an immigration moratorium, as a response to the unemployment crisis.
Let there be a Civil War in America, but let the Democrats fight it among themselves. The rest of us can play a more strategic game.
I have a mental image of this scene playing out when the diversity faction comes for Biden invoking the 25th Amendment.

I am not upset. I am not doing anything. I am starting to like Joe Biden. He is a revelation!
Four out of five so far–that’s roughly 80% right? That’s leaving 20% to be filled by the other 98% of society. Sounds legit to me.
What’s that? The position has been filled? So sorry, thanks for playing. Better luck next time. Snicker.
I suppose we should not be surprised by how many Jews he has appointed.
I suppose we should not be surprised by how many Jews he has appointed.
Yeah, Biden, unlike Obama and Trump, ran as an establishment shill. His appointments aren’t a betrayal like those of his two predecessors were.
These jewish appointments are gonna be competent, are gonna be favorably portrayed in the media as competent, and they’re the least immoral kind of white person to appoint in the dominant moral hierarchy. Makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe Biden ain’t so senile after all.
These jewish appointments not gonna do much for white Christians (although competence actually helps everyone a lot) but Biden didn’t run on helping white christians. Unlike Trump.
Trump’s reluctant supporters had reason to like his appointments while his core supporters should have seen them for the profound betrayal they were. It’s the opposite for Biden. His appointments are perfectly in line with his core message. It’s only the Warren and Sanders people who reluctantly voted for him that have any reason to be upset.
The one community which is never disappointed at being overlooked and/or underrepresented for high office is the Jewish community
Why not just install a lesbian, disabled, transgendered, hispanic black woman as monarch and be done with it?
It *WILL* come to pass.
Just as ‘homosexual marriage’ came to pass.
As a cost saving measure, the Clinton administration proposed changing the definition of “farmer” from someone who sells $1,000 of agricultural products per year to $10,000 per year.
It was turned down in part because that would eliminate the majority of black farmers.

That’s no way to go through life.
Exactly. They will know their future under Biden is secure and any successor would distrust them. Also, with his team surrounding him, Biden will be insulated from the lower orders of the administration and government machinery, who will not be able to recount instances of his senior moments when he is actually cognating in real time. There is no established treatment for mild cognitive impairment so I doubt drugs are being given to him, but Biden has been doing politics at a high level since he was 29, so can be coached and rehearsed enough to seem 100% (for his age) long after that is not the case
Biden’s chief of Staff and counselor are both going to have the job of vetting those given meetings with the President in order to prevent any stories getting out. I wonder if stories of incapacity about Harris will start immediately. Biden’s loyalists have not forgotten the way she went after him in the Dem candidate debate like no other participant. Ways will be found to stop her coasting along in high public regard while Biden makes tough decisions. This may happens swiftly because Biden’s bone fracture is a very ominous sign, and they will not want Kamala getting any funny ideas.

Sure, same-sex couples couldn’t get the same tax benefits as married ones but they never had to deal with messy divorce procedures right? You could pop-up and leave whenever and however. Now, Uncle Sam has gotcha by the *blank* and you have to play by straight rules.

Incidentally, I do not think it is a good idea to call Harris by her first name. The anti Brexit forces in the UK media acquiesced in that with Boris Johnson, and only after he became PM did they realise they'd handed him a not inconsiderable advantage.

It’s debatable if white Christians even care about white Christians.
Kamala is very popular among the media and the academic classes just not among voters. Cabinet appointments are both drawn from those classes favorable to her and more receptive to their influence. I’m not sure how popular she is among the people that actually have to deal with her on a regular basis. If she really is abrasive and unlikable and Biden is concerned about the 25th amendment it would be smart for Biden to involve her as much as possible in his administration instead of banishing her to the Executive Office Building like every president seems to do. That way his cabinet knows just what they would be dealing with under President Harris.
The next four years will be the golden age of IdPol for those who are into that. We already have the First Black Who is a defense secretary. Look for a steady stream of First Woman Who, First Gay Man Who, First Asian Who, First Tran Who, etc.

Let’s not get cute. Remember the atmosphere when he picked her. He had three black women presented to him at the time, because the nation was in a frenzy about Floyd. Of the three choices, he picked the most competent one, and I would say the one most likely to have the cunning to oust him, but that was never a consideration during the hug-a-Black hysteria.

Totally off topic, but as a 12 year old I watched Dick Allen take batting practice while huffing a lit cigarette.
Well, his chief of staff and secretary of state picks are both Jewish, that’s rather diverse.
National security adviser and top political adviser (assuming the latter refers to the senior adviser position) meanwhile, are both Micks… uh, no comment on that at this time.
Blacks departed the agricultural sector at about the same pace as whites during the period running from 1880 to 1940 (a tad more slowly), after which there was an exodus a good deal more rapid than you saw in the rest of the population. There were in 2012 about 33,000 farms and ranches owned by blacks in the U.S, about 38,000 owned by aboriginals, and about 14,000 owned by Orientals and East Indians, and about 67,000 owned by hispanics. About 93% of all farms and ranches are owned by whites. Most farmers and ranchers nowadays make their principal living doing something else. Tough business to be in.
Etc., etc., Pigford, etc.
Wait a minute. What? She wanted to be in charge of agriculture (rural) and she ends up as head of urban development? Which is she? Urban or rural?
Looking at Ohio’s 11th congressional district on Wikipedia, it says that it’s 100% urban and 0% rural. So why would she be in charge of the Department of Agriculture? What does she know about agriculture?
That doesn’t even make any sense. Unless, of course, they just want to continue the process of putting black women in charge of everything, that’s apparently managed to take over the mayorships and police departments of about half of the cities in the country lately.
Also of interest, Wikipedia makes a point of telling me that Ohio’s 11th district “also has the largest population of Jewish residents of Ohio’s congressional districts.”.
It just never ends around here.
It doesn’t seem to have occurred to black political leaders that by relying on getting their way in the name of representation and constantly screeching about what they are owed while other demographic groups that are substantially less sympathetic to their demands than progressive whites gain in numbers and economic influence, they might be setting themselves up for permanent hard ceiling on how far even their allies are willing to go.
Huh? Blacks are well known for their foresight and low time-preference.
You forgot poorly dressed.

In the Illinois National Guard in the 1990s, there was a Black girl from Mississippi who said her parents were farmers, and they owned 13 acres. I of course didn’t comment on this, but it means they were mainly tenants and/or Dad and/or Mom had a job in town.
Diane Feinstein is 87 and is so old she clearly cannot be in command of her faculties any longer. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on the other hand, was only months ago a spry 86, so it is a shame she could not have held on a couple months longer to let Biden pick her successor after having already served out- at full capacity- all 4 years of the Trump Presidency.
Joe probably didn’t think that deeply about that. But maybe Dr. Jill and Senator Dodd did that thinking for him.
I remember this settlement with black farmers. It was an absolute looting of the Federal Treasury.

It is surprising that the crypto-Communist Biden is appointing all these moderates.
He needs to have a bit more balance in his cabinet.
I would suggest adding Jerry Falwell Jr., Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner, Edward Jenner, Bill and Melinda Gates, Miley Cyrus, Tyra Banks, Ron deSantis, Anheuser Bush, Chelsea Clinton, Jim Beam, Ghislaine Maxwell, and a couple of Kennedys.
Aricept.
Affluent jews provide virtually all the funding to the modern democrat party as Isteve summarized not long ago and is readily apparent to anyone in cursory examination.
No surprise weve seen Jews appointed at State, Treasury, and likely Attorney General.
Does anyone think the rest are more than a color and shapes puzzle ? Could anyone name any of the departments much less the people ?
A strange pick, really, because racially she is neither fish nor fowl, and it was no help to him in the election to have California delivered.
Had Biden selected Valerie Demings from Florida, there was a chance of tipping that state his way, which would have made the election pretty much a landslide, with Florida being the third largest state in population.
Most likely it was not a personal decision but one made by his handlers, but given that he is 77 years old and mentally failing, it seems more likely that she was chosen as the heir apparent, and perhaps the belief was that she is a very capable operator, but not necessarily a good media performer, who once in office she would become much more popular.
All she needs to do is to behave like a first lady, and associate herself with a few lightweight popular causes like legalizing online poker and pot, and she will be in like Flynn.
Although possibly Flynn is no longer in.
Harris made clear her unconditional subservience to Israel, though. Plus, she's 'black.' Really, she was the only possible choice for the VP slot.
I’ve been playing a lot of computer chess lately. Playing above my pay grade. And I’ve been stunned by how ruthlessly relentless my computer opponent is in revealing my flaws to me. Sometimes it’s evident within three moves. (I’ve never studied openings). But overall, the impression is one of being hounded by a relentless steamroller, or a super predator bear whose entire life’s mission has been to devouring helpless human beings. (Though, occasionally, I win.)
That’s the basis of my remark earlier about how Intelligence alone should not be considered as the basis for selecting the leadership of a human society. Because, as is obvious now, an intelligent computer can defeat even the best of Grand Masters.
So, humans have created this machine which can out think them.
Now, on to the Great Reset.
The Great Reset is nothing other than handing all the key decisions relating to the governance of Planet Earth, over to the Master Computer.
The Big Data has all been gathered. Citizens carry cell phones about with them which track their daily habits. TVs and computers evesdrop on us in our living rooms. People voluntarily share all the private on Facebook and the like. New autos, equipped with GPSs transmit our position instantaneously. Our bank accounts are digitized data. Video cameras record us on the sidewalks of our cities and take photos of our car’s license plates at interstate tollbooths and city intersections. Etc. Etc.
That Joe Biden is president matters not in the least. He–and his appointees–will be told what to think do and say. His senescence is not a liability. He is perfect for the job. An empty suit.
All those huge new servers built out in the Western deserts by MicroSoft and the like are the new boss. The Powers that Be are handing off governance to the biggest Supreme Intelligence on planet Earth.
And its dictates will be relentless, unless they managed to program some simulacrum of compassion into the Thing.
But the machine will never know what it’s like to have felt the ecstasy of lying in a woman’s embrace. So I don’t trust it.

Ridiculous whining. Biden’s cabinet is chock full of minorities. His first four critical picks–Chief of Staff, Treasury, State, National Security–minorities all.
Maybe “journalists” just have some weird problem mentioning that all these guys are minorities?

Personally i’m comforted that Biden’s actually found a position for a white gentile–agriculture.
I think that means they are going to let us continue to farm!

Most people who farm have other income sources that are at least as consequential. This has been true for 50 years.

It’s interesting to note the wide variety of blacks that Biden is expected to pander to. Black farmers – talk about drilling down to the smallest possible group.
The only Black group I’m interested in, vis-à-vis Biden pandering, is Black Lives Matter. Didn’t they demand a meeting with him last week to receive their reward for taking part in the Democrat morality play? In other words, we played the Aggrieved Blacks so whites would vote Democrat; what do we get?

And he played at a time when players spent a good deal of their career or if not their entire career with the same team, at least those as talented as Allen did. Phillies, Dodgers, Cardinals, Chisox, he wore a lot different hats. Another weird Black athlete of that time period was running back, Duane Thomas. If I can remember right, Thomas turned his back when they played the national anthem instead of taking a knee. Poor rich, Black athletes have been whining and whining since the days of Ali and they keep getting richer and richer in racist White America because they are adored by middle aged White men and young White males. smdh.
1) The Phils' astounding 1964 collapse, although I don't recall if he was one of the major culprits
2) Pushing his disabled car with his hands on the front headlights, resulting in a needless and serious injury when one hand went right through the glass.
PS Kerry ain't Jewish either.Replies: @Anonymous, @Colin Wright, @epebble, @Wilkey, @Citizen of a Silly Country
Veteran’s Affairs and Agriculture are low-level cabinet positions. State, Treasury, Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security (because of immigration) – those are where the real power is. Plus the Chief of Staff.
Four of those six have already been filled by Jews. My guess is that Biden’s Attorney General will also be Jewish.
Biden still needs a gay or lesbian to keep them happy, and Michigan has a lesbian attorney general – Dana Nessel – who, wouldn’t you know it?, also happens to be Jewish. Merrick Garland – another rumored AG – is also Jewish.
So five of the six top positions in the Biden Administration will probably be filled by Jews. Sorry, but no one gives a shit about Secretary of Agriculture.
Hey, JackD, John Kerry maybe or maybe not be 100% kosher but he has Jewish blood running through his veins just like AG Barr. Is there anyone in Washington who isn't part Jewish, Jewish or a shabbos goy? Is there an honest to goodness politician who isn't bought off by Jewish shekels? This is so funny that Kerry PRETENDS he is ONLY 99% committed to Jews and Israel and has even been labeled an "auntie Semite." So we have a guy with Jewish blood PRETENDING to oppose some of Israel's policies. ROTFLMAO AND SMDH at the stupid "American" political system.
We have went from Trumpstein who was at least not rabidly anti-White despite his genuflecting to Israel and Jews, to self proclaimed "Zionist" Joe Biden, who is also the biggest Black ass kissing White politician in recent history or probably in the history of America. I will take Trump any day over Crooked Joe. At least Trump didn't openly condemn his own people.

Blacks don’t care about representation. What they really care about is having blacks in a position to pass out large amounts of government money to other blacks. They’re all hoping that blacks in government will help them loot the government.
Well one of the biggest criticisms of Trump was how he sucked up to Jews and Israel, looks like the new boss Joe ” I Am A Zionist” Biden is even more of a shabbos goy than Trumpstein.

At the very beginning of the Democrat primaries I guessed it would be Joe and Kamala by hook or by crook. But during the heat of the primary, they looked down and out, and I thought maybe they were. But then Jim Clyburn rallied black lady voters in S Carolina to save Joe’s bacon in the primary and black election workers in the battleground states to stuff the ballot boxes during the election. So, Joe owes his victory 100% to the black political machine. Joe paid the black machine back with a female (25%) black VP, but one they utterly loathed. If he had picked Stacey Abrams, the machine would have insisted Joe step down ASAP.
Since basically Joe is mentally out of it, I’m guessing these Machiavellian maneuvers were dreamed up by Dr Jill. Wow, she seems even smarter than Hillary.
The pressure on the Democratic president-elect is intense … and it’s coming from all sides.
It’s quite a feat, to pressure a noodle.
No surprise at all, Guy. They are about the only whites that voted for Joe. At least knowingly voted for the putz. Many whites pushed the Trump button but their votes were later Dominioned.

Chances are the AG is going to be black, but putting that aside, you’re moving the goalposts now. The original comment was there were six whites among his first twelve [Cabinet level] appointments and that all six were Jewish. That is simply false.
It’s my prediction that ultimately 20 to 25% of Biden’s high level appointments will be Jewish simply because 20 to 25% of all high IQ driven categories in the US (Nobel Prize winners, chess champions, billionaires, etc.) are Jewish.

But making the excuse that Jews should have a greater share of Biden’s cabinet because of their higher IQ makes you the one moving the goalposts. If shares of high IQ Americans were the primary qualification then Biden’s cabinet and high level advisors should not include *any* blacks. But it currently includes more blacks than non-Jewish whites.
At this point I think it’s unlikely that Biden’s AG will be black. He already has the “black” Kamala Harris as VP and Lloyd Austin at Defense. Biden still has to satisfy the gay and lesbian demo, and he will probably do that with the AG appointment.Replies: @Bardon Kaldian

No seriously. Biden has chosen Jews for all the important cabinet and staff positions--save throwing the blacks a bone with Defense--because the Democrats are the Jewish party--the party of minoritarianism, elite parasitism and elite control. (The blacks are just--not very bright--cannon fodder.) And--given the current climate--Biden doesn't feel any need to not just go ahead and appoint his handlers and other trusted Jewish apparatchiks. Any white people noticing are anti-Semites.Replies: @Jack D
I thought the United States was a meritocracy?
Obviously the Jews are being discriminated against!
Is that why Kamala Harris and all of Joe Biden's kids married Jews? Because Jews have such high IQ?
Regardless, the subject was diversity in appointments. If describing the ethnic make-up of Biden's appointments, it is dishonest to count "white males" without mentioning that many of them are Jews. If Black appointments are supposed to represent Blacks in the population, then the same could be said of Jewish appointments.
Five undoubtedly are Jews, and Kerry is whatever he is, just as Wright said.
All six were appointed before Vilsack and McDonough, just as Wright said.

I’m sure Biden’s cabinet will be the usual collection of Democrat mutants, but to be fair, I’ve had more than a bellyful of Trump’s selections, which from the first round to last reminded me of why people say things like “a cabinet that looks like America” or “diversity is our strength.”
Trump was so busy surrounding himself with guys like himself — old, fat, White — that he never noticed they were all long-time swamp creatures out to subvert if not imprison him.
And each one more ineffective or counter-productive in his supposed task than the last, until we got to the ultimate: William “Don’t skimp on the fucking pate” Barr.
And the Trumptards applauded each one as a stably-brilliant 4D move to MAGA.
Come on and join me as we nostalgically recall the Trump Era.
This reinforces my opinion that people voted against Trump not for biden and certainly not for harris. Biden is essentially obama 2.0 and that number, 2.0, was harris’ polling number. The bone for the fringe was harris, a blackish woman, who graduated from a HBCU and who slept her way to the top. Is Bernie still alive? Where are the Bernie Brothers.Is Liz still around? And did the “Group” really think they were going to have a say? Going out on a limb here, Clarence Thomas retires, biden offers obama a seat, obama refuses because he won’t be CJ.

for practical purposes there are no african farmers here. i’ve never seen one in almost 50 years of living in 6 or 7 states. i’ve seen a few mexican farmers, in the southwest. for every realistic purpose, european men do all the agriculture production in the US, and are all the guys working in labs and workshops to increase yields per acre as well via chemistry and robotics.
in America, africans hate being outside, hate hard work, and hate not being in a city. farming is one of the last things on earth you would ever find them doing – not surprisingly, it’s the same situation in Africa. and they didn’t develop agriculture in 200,000 years in Africa either.
same for construction and contractor jobs. here’s the cycle every time – Section 8 tenets destroy 50 year old houses, then a crew of guys comes in an rebuilds then. in decades and decades of this cycle, i’ve never seen ONE construction crew guy who was a brother. they wreck stuff. they don’t build anything. once in a while you’ll see the AA guy on the road construction crew holding the stop sign. it’s probably the same for mining and logging. africans also didn’t develop mining in Africa, but at least over there they demand their blue collar mining jobs.
africans do zero of the nuts and bolts work to keep the country going. now i’m sure that technically they are maybe a hundred real african farmers in the entire country – it’s a big country – but for practical purposes that’s a rounding error. there must be 10 times as many mexican farmers and ranchers. i do wonder if growing marijuana will count as being a farmer, if the definition is $1000 worth of product per year. then suddenly there will be thousands of african ‘farmers’.

Did Biden do anything of note as VP? It would be interesting if Joe said to the half breed slut, “This is what I did as VP, so here’s your to do list.”
Recall that Clinton and Gore put together a two page contract on how their relationship should go, which turned on having regular lunches. The lunches for Biden may consist of soft food requiring limited chewing energy.
You got the sense that Pence was a real partner for Trump, with the kind of political executive experience Trump lacked. He never seemed marginalized. Plus he knew how to be loyal, a key criteria for Trump.
Biden probably isn’t a stalking horse for Harris, but rather a stalking horse for the further entrenching the deep state. The best we can hope for is that the powers behind the throne are thinking more about their self interests rather than the interests of crazy socialists. May define the best of a bad — check that — REALLY bad situation.
Of Mr. Biden, it was said, that he was a "McConnell whisperer." Kentucky. Blue grass. Horses. A horse whisperer as someone who has a knack to train a skittish horse?
He was given the authority to cut a deal on Mr. Obama's promise to raise taxes on the rich and the Republican aversion to taxing anyone. A cut a deal he did. I think. Mr. Obama just closed his eyes and signed the legislation.
His days are numbered by the fact that he’s an ancient doddering corpse and the “threat” you imply doesn’t work because Biden’s caste no more needs to obey diversity diktats than they need to respect lockdown guidelines or drive the speed limit or not rape people. Diversity diktats are for you, not them.
in colorado, growing hemp for CBD with THC under 0.3% has been legal for years, and nationally i believe it has been legal since 14 or 18. it pays more than pretty much any other crop per acre per input, more than soybeans which are the main cash crop nationally right now. last time i ran the numbers CBD hemp paid like $50,000 to $75,000 per acre if you do it right.
yet it’s actually kind of hard to grow all female hemp plants over an acre or more, and get it processed correctly for CBD harvest due to a processing bottleneck. you can’t even do it without a supply of young female plants – seeds are too risky. and you have to book fall harvesting in advance with a contract, otherwise you might not get your plants correctly processed. i know a guy with 3 available acres in colorado who is up for trying it, and we didn’t even bother due to the difficulty.
i would bet that there are less than 10 africans with a CBD hemp setup as big as an acre.
tobacco is on it’s way out, and there are less tobacco farms every year. backwater hicks and illegal aliens from mexico do all the work at those places anyway.

I didn’t “move the goalposts” because my post had nothing to do with the original comment. I’ve been noting the overwhelming Jewishness of Biden’s cabinet from the very beginning, and noting the importance of certain cabinet posts from the very beginning. You can look it up. Treasury, Justice, State, and Defense have always been considered the most important cabinet positions. I throw Homeland Security in with them because Homeland Security deals with immigration, and that is a tremendously critical issue now, and the Democrats know it.

Biden has chosen Jews for all the important cabinet and staff positions–save throwing the blacks a bone with Defense–because the Democrats are the Jewish party–the party of minoritarianism, elite parasitism and elite control.

But making the excuse that Jews should have a greater share of Biden’s cabinet because of their higher IQ makes you the one moving the goalposts. If shares of high IQ Americans were the primary qualification then Biden’s cabinet and high level advisors should not include *any* blacks. But it currently includes more blacks than non-Jewish whites.
At this point I think it’s unlikely that Biden’s AG will be black. He already has the “black” Kamala Harris as VP and Lloyd Austin at Defense. Biden still has to satisfy the gay and lesbian demo, and he will probably do that with the AG appointment.Replies: @Bardon Kaldian
Alright, a few points….
1. I don’t think it is smart for any high level politician -especially in a powerful country- to surround oneself with easily identifiable, and frequently irritating, minority. It is basically stupid, and it was good for Jews in the USSR of the 30’s that Stalin moved most of them from highest, visible posts. Biden’s appointments are not good for US Jews, although I am not sure they realize it.
2. for these positions, one need not have stellar intelligence. Whatever I think of IQ research, all those people are never too bright- in conventional sense- but are mostly well connected & that’s it. Think Eric Holder.
3. as regards rich Jews as donors (someone mentioned that), I think one of the biggest mistakes of US politics is this plutocratic trait. No democracy can survive, or has much sense, with plutocratic oligarchies.
That said, I don’t get why are super-rich Jews so over-represented among billionaire political donors, while much more numerous (or richer) Gentiles don’t seem to care. Rather puzzling ….
https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/biggest-donors
I think it may be a cultural trait. Jews traditionally (within their community) were very civic minded, with lots of voluntary do-good societies, like visiting the sick. There is also a cultural affinity to and love of debate, so you have Jewish families discussing political and social (and sometimes scientific depending on the parents' education) issues at the supper table far more than in Gentile families, thus, Jews tend to be more political and politically active. There are the Israel-shill donors who see themselves as modern shtadlanim and intercessors for Israel, but many secular Jews have simply universalized their civic-mindedness. Some donors really think they are doing the right thing for society, other are 'civic-minded' for their own caste of super rich.
And if Plugs is forgetting then Doc Jill is getting —

Why would having one set of grandparents being Jewish (by ancestry) make someone one-half Jewish? If both sets of grandparents weren’t Jewish that would make only 1/4. Unless you are using the “one drop of blood” theory.
As for the “it’s a religion not a people card” I think that the official Israeli religious court would have something to say about your “card” reference. Admittedly it is confusing and probably not entirely rational. But who are you to judge Mr. Goy?
This is the problem with viewing people through the anti Semite lens. That water gets very murky very fast. Depending on how extreme you get, you might end up with only a few Palestinians and some Sephardic Jews being “really Jewish.” Then they are hardly worth hating on.

As regards politics & IQ, perhaps it is interesting to note that people’s behavior almost invariably confirms old La Rochefoucauld’s adage that heart rules a man (or deceives the mind, but, along with other apothegms, means that, ultimately, emotions matter more than intellect).
When there was a talk about scientific boycott of Israel because of its treatment of Palestinians, Roger Penrose was against. He gave a few reasons for that, but ultimately capped it with claim he could be considered a Jew because his grandmother was Jewish. So far, so good.
On the other hand, Stephen Hawking would have none of it & called for public boycott of Israel.
Now, one could say that Hawking was “principled”, or that he & Penrose simply viewed those things differently. But, it is simpler to assume that, with no emotional stake in the game, Hawking just followed generally accepted views in the scientific community, while Penrose was influenced by, should we say, ancestral identity emotions.
Heart rules.
As for IQ, Hawking’s doctoral advisor was brilliant Dennis Sciama, a British Jew from Syria-Egypt region. It is frequently assumed that people from Middle East are intellectually inferior to Europeans (this includes local Jews, too). They have lower IQ – as the story goes. Sciama and other great minds from that area, for instance Michael Atiyah, easily refute IQ simplistic generalizations. One could say that there are no much people from those areas, but many brilliant Iranian scientists also refute these claims.
Just- find a black African or African-American equivalent to Sciama, Atiyah or Cumrun Vafa …..

Is that why Kamala Harris and all of Joe Biden’s kids married Jews? Because Jews have such high IQ?
Regardless, the subject was diversity in appointments. If describing the ethnic make-up of Biden’s appointments, it is dishonest to count “white males” without mentioning that many of them are Jews. If Black appointments are supposed to represent Blacks in the population, then the same could be said of Jewish appointments.
Thanks. Can I ask where you got your statistics? There’s been a media kerfuffle over the last few years, of which the NPR story Steve cited is typical of the genre, alleging a systematic deprivation of blacks of their alleged landowning, farming heritage. The articles tend to be grab-bag of misdirection, logical fallacies, and spurious statistics all thrown at the reader, hoping something will stick.
Thus spake NPR. But of course white farmers used to be a lot more common too. But no one says they were “dispossessed” when they sold up and moved to the city.
“Resurgence” LOL. Black farmers were never common in the Northeast. And barriers to farming for everyone are high, but only blacks get NPR shilling for them.
Etc., etc., Pigford, etc.
I saw an article recently alleging that said land owners are being systematically dispossessed by some sneaky subterfuge … systemic racism … etc. Reading between the lines, it seemed that what was actually going on was that the descendants of tenant farmers were living on land they hadn’t title to and had never paid taxes on, but local authorities had never made a fuss about it. Now the authorities were being accused of depriving them of their rightful ownership. They probably wish they hadn’t been so tolerant now.

Well unless you actually know Joe Biden face to face, or you have seen the results of formal testing, then I don’t see how you can tell what stage of Alzheimer’s he is at.
I am a big rusty at clinical stuff but I believe there are supposed to be seven stages of Alzheimer’s.
Does he actually need assistance to be fed or with toileting, or is he just a bit forgetful like all of us as we get older.
Yesterday I spent half an hour looking for my house keys, and as usual they turned up and exactly the place where I thought they were in the first place.
The problem with Biden is that he wasn’t very bright in the first place, so he is starting off a low level.
He was a senator for decades, and then a vice president for eight years, but he has never really held a top level job or run a company or even a government Department with thousands of employees, and the job of being president is a pretty tough one even for a young and vigorous person.
You really need to have a strong command of both domestic and foreign policy, plus an ability to chair meetings, supervise cabinet ministers, and make judicial appointments.
And then there’s a lot of foreign travel, and you are expected to be a leader in the peer group of world leaders, which is a big ask.
And if that is not enough, you have to deal with Congressional leaders, and all kinds of ceremonial duties, like consoling the surviving relatives of military personnel who have died as a result of your actions.
So not an easy job, and although it has great benefits and pension, the pension probably won’t be much use to Biden.

No seriously.

I would accept assigning Jews 20 to 25% of the blame for the Zeitgeist, as long as you mention that non-Jews are responsible for the majority (75 to 80%) of it. But around here the group that gets blamed almost exclusively is the Jews. Biden is Catholic, 2/3 of the Supreme Ct is Catholic, most of the Latino immigrants are Catholic, but I never hear about a Catholic conspiracy to destroy America as we know it. Just to clear, I don’t think one exists but I don’t think a Jewish conspiracy exists either. If you are going to go inventing conspiracies, can’t you invent one that involves other faiths now and then?
"Oh yeah? Well, whites commit 50% of the homicides too! Why don't you ever admit that?"
Catholics in the mid-19th C could have been considered a relatively homogeneous alien group; now- not. Even religious Catholics, who are in the minority, don't have any "Catholic" geopolitical or ethnic interests. For instance, virtually all white Catholics- except for mentally medieval nuts- dislike the very idea of importing big numbers of various colored Catholics. Jews, on Steve's other hand, are, still, a homogeneous ethnic-cultural group with very clear political-cultural profile (Israel lobby, incessant Holocaust mantra for white/Euro- guilt tripping, deification of blacks & other coloreds (especially among Jewish journalists & chatterati), propaganda for 3rd world immigration inundation, denigration of historical America & its founding fathers, promotion of minoritarianism & various faggy subcultures, whipping up anti-Russian & anti- historical national European animus, malign forms of "multiculturalism", ....).
Of course I am not talking about most of US Jews, or specifically about creative American Jewish figures (true scholars, scientists, artists, ....). But, let's be (Leo) frank: public Jews suck. Most of them. It's not that public American MSM gentiles don't suck. But one can find among them a significant part which is palatable, common sense & OK.

One of the more reasonable things you have said on this topic here. Thanks. Perhaps ponder the analogy with crime statistics and blacks? Given your numbers the overrepresentation (10-12x vs. 8x) is even greater for your case.
This is an obvious oversimplification. The true Sephardi Jews, such as Sciama, were partly European people who traced their ancestry to Spain and fled to the Ottoman Empire in 1492 when they were expelled from Spain. Their IQ is in line with other European people. In America, there were distinguished Sephardi intellectuals such as the poet Emma Lazarus and the famous jurist Cardozo. In Israel, a lot of the people characterized as “Sephardi” are in fact Arab Jews such as the Yemenites who have no European ancestry and who are about as smart as their local Arab brothers (i.e. not very).
Now you're just trolling.
In America, there were distinguished Sephardi intellectuals such as the poet Emma Lazarus
