I want to thank everybody who has contributed to my December fundraiser so far.
In a better world, I could probably make a decent living as a normal opinion journalist. Of course, we don’t live in that world, so that means it’s more important for me to be able to scratch out a living noticing important patterns in how the world works. Therefore, I rely upon my readers for support.
Here are ten ways for you to help me carry on:
First: Most banks now allow fee-free money transfers via Zelle.
Zelle is really a good system: easy to use and the fees are nonexistent.
If you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay/Zelle. Just tell WF SurePay/Zelle to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) Please note, there is no 2.9% fee like with Paypal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.
Zelle contributions are not tax deductible.
Second: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay/Zelle (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay/Zelle to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with Paypal or Google Wallet, so this is also good for large contributions.
Third, Zelle might work with other banks too. Here’s a Zelle link for CitiBank. And Bank of America.
Fourth: You can use Paypal (non-tax deductible) by going to the page on my old blog here. Paypal accepts most credit cards. Contributions can be either one-time only, monthly, or annual. (Monthly is nice.)
Fifth: You can mail a non-tax deductible donation to:
Steve Sailer
P.O Box 4142
Valley Village, CA 91617
I have no idea why somebody carefully hung this empty picture frame from a tree alongside the Fryman Canyon hiking trail, but I appreciate it, like I appreciate your support.
Sixth: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here.
Please don’t forget to click my name at the VDARE site so the money goes to me: first, click on “Earmark your donation,” then click on “Steve Sailer:”
This is not to say that you shouldn’t click on John’s fund too, but, please, make sure there’s a blue dot next to my name.
VDARE has been kiboshed from use of Paypal for being, I dunno, EVIL. But you can give via credit cards, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, check, money order, or stock.
Note: the VDARE site goes up and down on its own schedule, so if this link stops working, please let me know.
Seventh: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that’s isteveslrATgmail .com — replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Eight: You can send me Bitcoin. Bitcoin payments are not tax deductible.
Here’s my Bitcoin address:
1EkuvRNR86uJzpopquxdnmF23iA3vzdDuc
Here’s the OCR
Please let me know if this works, ideally by sending me Bitcoin. Or let me know what else you’d like to send me.
If you’re sending to a crypto address that belongs to another Coinbase user who has opted into Instant sends in their privacy settings, you can send your funds instantly to them with no transaction fees. This transaction will not be sent on chain, and is similar to sending to an email address.

In a more decent world, you, Colin Flaherty (in the past), Jared Taylor, Lauren Southern, John Derbyshire, Dan Bongino, Ann Coulter could make good to excellent money from normal advertising and monetizing videos, articles, etc.

I am willing to donate a couple of hundred to you for commenting on

Sites who all have the preposterous claim to have a parsimonious explanation and a solution to the takeover of the Left
The acceptance of dishonesty is the the original sin,
radical scientific honesty, intolerance for all but full disclosure is the solution (which, of course, will meet resistance)
Having a one-pointed emphasis on nothing but freedom of #TrueSpeech, and mandatory requirement to mention alternative theories to Ta Nahesi Coates and Ibram X Kendi’s explanations would meet resistance but is a moral high ground.
I seek to either convince, or have constructive discussion. Not for my Ego, but because I think it is a useful approach to save the world from PC
Why not Substack? I’d pay $50/yr
What is your current lifetime word count with and without comments?
What was the date of your first blog post?
Happy New Year
No money for COVID enablers.
In a better world, we wouldn’t need you, Steve.
Some for specific subject areas like sports, entertainment, or narrow topics.
Even the formerly liberal/left ones like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are now free to write what they find on Substack, and get paid. Driven out of former "mainstream" media.
Advertising supported "journalism" is nearly dead, thanks to online monopolies which like Google, FaceBook, etc, pretend to be content neutral but which are not.
And open comment sections are rare. Yes, they fill up with robots and crazies, the panoply of human mental illness and the like, but where enough manage to contribute something worthwhile, you discover many interesting things, and avenues to further explore.
You content moderation is very good, despite the abuse you get.
Let's hope you can continue to do your good work!
As a Pure Blood, I wish everyone at Sailer…
🎆 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆
In a better world, there would be Nuremberg-style trials for sportswriters who called Alvin Dark a racist. Prosecutor Steve: “but he played them, right?”

Happy New Year!
Happy new year! I know we had some differences this year but I hope we go back to our regular relationship. I’ve followed you for over twenty years. A few rough exchanges shouldn’t change that.
Superb point, but let’s remember it only applies to helping us understand the false narratives and the unravellings of society. Okay, that’s probably the greater part of iSteve. But that still leaves the rest of the topics – – those engaging, informative diversions from our not-better world. And of course, there’s the matter of hosting these fine comments and personal anecdotes.
In a better world, we’d still have crime, corruption in government and business, a low brow, occasionally degenerate popular culture, financial swindles big and small, problems with drug and alcohol abuse, people entering the country illegally, and even war, pestilence and death.
People would also say mean things to one another.
Always have, always will.
But all of the above would at least be acknowledged and recognized as problems, not the norm or things to be encouraged as normal, apologized for, and/or covered by the government and its mass “media” propaganda institutions.
Key is the amount of dysfunction.
If the waters of dysfunction are swirling around your ankles, you can still live a pretty good life wearing rubber boots.
If you have to tread water, it's a whole 'nuther level of suck.
Happy New Year!

AnotherDad wrote to Sailer:
There will always be a minority of morally crippled men who thirst for power and who are willing to lie, steal, and kill to obtain power.
And there will always be a much larger group of people willing to be manipulated and deceived by those who lust for power.
So, I am afraid we will always need those willing to shout out the truth.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Extraordinary and complex statement, Steve. at least in my opinion this New Year’s Eve. How much of the rhetorical aggro and angst here on UR comes from people, most of us no longer young, who’ve made a considered, cold-blooded judgment that their personal and vocational skill set is okay, but that the America and the world they live in has gone wobbly and is bloody well inimical to their very being?
Happy New Year to all, and a belated Merry Christmas, too.

No, January 6 was orchestrated by Trump’s minions. Me. Sailer would have written several stories indicating that it was an inside job on the part of the FBI.
But even he knows it was the handiwork of Trump.
Well?
Oh, that's right, it was all cooked by the FBI working with the Clinton campaign.
How about the information in Hunter Biden's laptop?
Russian disinformation, right?
That's what you psychos claimed.

It's confirmed there were Federal operatives throughout the crowd on January 6.

If the Bureau did not have enough actionable intelligence, and was treading extra-cautiously to avoid being accused (again) of engaging in politically biased investigations based on animosity toward Trump, then maybe there was another failure to “connect the dots” – perhaps facilitated by implicit institutional and individual biases that did not view the rhetoric leading up to the Trump rally through a terrorism lens.

From what I can tell there are hardly any “decent opinion journalists” to be found in most paid mainstream journalism, magazines, newspapers (!) or even online.
Some for specific subject areas like sports, entertainment, or narrow topics.
