Later tonight or early Wednesday morning, Taki’s Magazine should have up my new column on the enormous frontlash against Donald Trump’s suggestion that the slaughter of gay Latinos by a Muslim terrorist has implications for restructuring American immigration policy.
I go on to point out an optimistic if forgotten historical example of murderous immigrant terrorism in the U.S. that was shut down by the American majority taking a firm stand.

Bigger than Puerto Rican nationalist terrorism.
I don't know much about Palmer Raids, etc, as I was edumacated in US public schools. Were they effective at deporting actual terrorists or sympathizers? Did they have an effect on helping/forcing Italian immigrants to integrate?
Sacco and Vanzetti?
Operation Wetback ??
The irony that Omar Mateen wanted to murder people at Disney World, the same Disney corporation who favors immigration laws that make it even easier for the Omar Mateens of the world to immigrate to The U.S or parents who immigrate to The U.S that breed Omar Mateen type anchor babies.
European Anarchists!
That’s right, I’m payin’ attention.
Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez’s tribute.
Based on the new JPEG titled “sacvan”, I’m going to have to go with either Italian anarchists or Canadian literary critics… literary criticism being an arguable type of terrorism after all.

Wonder what’s up?

Mr. Sailer:
To the best of my understanding, a pencil-producing factory in Moscow, USSR, was named after those two terrorists.
Since the discussion is related to Orlando, FL, event, the photograph of that Afganterrorist reminds me Mikhail Khodorkovsky, oligarch exiled from Russia.
Islamaphobia phobia? This guy is stealing your stuff, Steve.

Why is Barack Hussein Obama not angry at Omar Mateen, when some of the Gays he murdered most likely could have been his son. Some of the Puerto Ricans in that Gay night club in Orlando were Roberto Clemente type Afro Puerto Ricans. I saw on Telemundo them interviewing a Black man who is fluent in Spanish who was in the club during the massacre.
Or maybe only African Americans count as Barack’s sons.
I saw a headline that said the FBI was investigating whether Mateen’s sexuality played a role in the event. Isn’t that illegal? I mean, to question one’s sexuality? Is this who we are? At tragic times and events like this, we question our sexuality?
Link to Taki’s Mag is broken.
Who gave American politicians the mandate to inject unchecked ‘diversity’ into this country and when? Was it the 1965 immigration act? When I came to the US in the 1980s it was still the America we imagined it would be. I began noticing the change in the mid 1990s.
Off topic/on topic
I saw on facebook that Obama is now claiming that banning Muslims would make us LESS safe…
???
Armenian Cher is defending Muslims & Islam on Twitter, even though Muslims murdered millions of her people. Muslims are not big fans of Armenians.
If her people were murdered by Germans for example instead of Muslims, I bet she would have an extreme hatred of Germans.
Immigration moratorium!
I remember reading Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddhin on the Sac and the Van, and he gave frustration and disapproval as the European reaction. This mostly because it took too damn long to hang them. If they’re guilty just get it over with, was the upshot. That’s one thing the left is good at: not shutting the hell up, haranguing us until we throw our hands in the air, sick of the whole thing.
I couldn’t walk away from the Zimmerman case, for instance, knowing he was innocent, happy pretty much the whole country knew it. (Unless they thought he was guilty nontheless, of something that isn’t yet a crime; “there oughtta be a law” against following a black while not-black.) It should’ve been a big victory over the shrieking left, but it only contributed to future nonsense, in the form of BLM. Because we were sick of the whole damn thing long before it was over.
While much of Clint Eastwood’s J Edgar portrays Hoover a a vainglorious right winger who is motivated greatly by his repressed homosexuality, the one part of the film that seems to unreservedly support Hoover’s mission comes in the opening scenes during the Sacco and Venzetti era, where the very much violent anarchist/communist cells are raided, resulting in hundreds of deportations of the largely foreign-born members. That kind of parsing seems quite characteristic of Eastwood.
Wiki On President McKinley:
“However, his legacy was quickly cut short when he was shot on September 6, 1901 by Leon Czolgosz, a second-generation Polish-American with anarchist leanings; McKinley died eight days later, and was succeeded by Vice President Theodore Roosevelt. ”
That damn second generation again!

An earlier example of immigrant anarchists
One benefit of the 1920s immigration restrictions was that there was a lower Bolshevik influence. It wasn’t eliminated, but it could’ve been much worse than what the country went through in the following decades.
Today with so many vested in immigration and the elite almost uniform in its greatness it'll be hard to stop.Replies: @Ivy
It’s funny how it’s fine when GOP apparatchiks say that Obama is un-American but when Trump says it suddenly they need to wail and gnash their teeth. If nothing else this cycle has confirmed just how without principle they all are.
The great sin was not shutting down immigration from the Middle East after 9/11.
Any halfway competent president would have done it, and it wouldn’t have even required congressional approval.
Bush was quite possibly the worst president in American history.
Could Sacco and Vanzetti be called “forgotten”?
No, they live yet in the popular consciousness. They fall somewhere between the mostly forgotten Leo Frank and the perennial criminal cause celebres like Leopold and Loeb. Granted, all people remember is that they're Italians and "anarchists," whatever that meant (socialists, that's what), and that people were mean to anarchists and Italians back then.
The big difference between then and now is the contemporary elite does not give a damn about the opinion of the American majority.
The difference today is that the Muslim Terminator wasn’t murdering elites like immigrant anarchists were a hundred odd years ago.
What are a bunch of Latino queers to our elites? It isn’t like their deaths really matter…
Broken eggs and make multicultural omelets, right?
Of course, the next people on the target list are probably higher up Democrat functionaries who are getting in the way of Muslim things. When they start getting terminated then we’ll see some real screeching and pant-hooting.
Also, lest we forget, the American Legion was actively fighting these earlier immigrants on the streets in real, honest-to-goodness gun battles. Can anyone imagine patriotic American veterans getting away with that kind of resistance today?
Since 9/11, Islamic terror has mostly struck a bunch of low-rent nowheresvilles like San Bernardino and Orlando. So your point stands.
But on 9/11, they hit the most elite of elite zip codes. There was overwhelming political will to fix the problem. Bush could have signed an executive order shutting down MENA immigration in a week.

I don’t know I’m feeling kind of down. I don’t think Trump can win, making many unforced errors. White women just won’t be able to overlook his delivery in sufficient numbers for him to win.
Our country down the tubes because someone that is right isn’t refined enough. It’s depressing. More Muslims, more Mexicans,more suspension of facts & more chaos.
Check the poll data. It's the same old democrat game: the polls are more grossly biased (with sample skew) months before the election to try to build Inevitability! and then in the final month the poll removes the skew to salvage their reputation.
Trump is doing great. Lindsey, Mitt, Paul & Mitch are all losing the war. Neoconservatism's last gasp is to try to convince us that Trump is a loser. Pfffft...
Like George Carlin's dog Tippy: "Poor Tippy was full of guilt. So much so, in fact, she's the only dog I ever had who committed suicide. Yeah, well, we don't say it like that around the house. We say she put herself to sleep. But she ran out in front of a milk truck. That's f***ing suicide! But that was her decision. That's what Tippy wanted to do. And that's the way it is in our family. If you want to commit suicide, we back you up. So we supported Tippy in her little suicide decision..."
The White race is pulling a Tippy.
Protestants still went to church & held sway. Blacks were on board but at any rate weren’t much of a voting factor.

obama believes in a high threshold for “acceptable loss” with regards to American lives as a result of muslim immigration. hillary is the same and wants to be another merkel.

Each generation tries to tell the kids about what happened and what has been lost. Our kids got an earful about their forbears and how we and they got here. If we didn’t, they sure wouldn’t hear it in the popular culture. The atomization of life has accelerated and it takes more effort to retain and communicate some sense of the continuity and value. All those Sundays mean something even if not immediately apparent.

Racism is worst than murder according to the Left. Hence why in Chicago for example, Blacks are more scared of nooses on college campuses than they are of urban inner city killings.
You’re so confident Trump is going to increase our freedoms?

I’m feeling pretty down too. Latest poll has the Evil One beating Trump 49-37. Too many simply don’t care about justice, fairness, or the truth in this country. Supposedly even with White men he’s only pulling 58%. You can’t save people who won’t save themselves, those who would rather signal than live.

Steve, the official story on the gay Muslim maniac in Orlando is predictably coming unraveled.
Cops say 202 shots TOTAL!!! That includes police firing and shots into the ceiling and other junk shots.
@cernovich is on the case.
So do the math: 49 dead and 50+ wounded from 202 shots and several victims shot multiple times.
Last night I speculated that Mr Maniac did not bring into the building the large amount of ammo required to kill 50 and wound 50 in the dark with targets running/moving/hiding.
This does not add up. Especially since the maniac just bought the rifle! But magically he implemented the firearm with near perfect results under the extreme duress of moving targets in a darkened disco.
I speculated that the noob with the auto rifle would need 1000 rounds minimum to get the carnage of 100 victims in the dark. But there are wrinkles: 1 it was not an AR15. 2 We don’t know if he was firing full auto. 3 We don’t his rifle experience. 4 He also had a pistol.
All that being said: I feel comfortable claiming he was a jerk with no firearms expertise. Let alone combat experience. Therefore no way he did all of this damage by himself.
More on Orlando Massacre bs story:
Multiple shooters with rifles using the legal semi-auto 3-shot burst mode of firing will sound a lot like a single full automatic machine gun firing—- to non-experts.
This is probably the source of the “machine gun fire” witness reports.
(Without proper paperwork which he didn't have and couldn't get for
a post 86 gun).
Italian anarchists..
Steve: OT but wondering whether the initial prominence of hooligan violence at the European Championship soccer tournament could be connected in any way to a revival in nationalism in Europe. The Russia-England clashes were between two European countries with an upsurge in nationalism – retake Crimea and Brexit. I recall that you have drawn the connection between soccer supporters as a vague unoficial paramilitary force. This summer seems like a time where this connection may become more overt.
We’d be so much better off today if we had caved in to those Puerto Rican terrorists.
Anarchists? People who set off bombs in seven cities are terrorists.

our freedoms are more at risk with 18 million muslims than the current 9 million. Since 2001 the muslim population in America has doubled. Hillary will help double muslim immigration if she gets 8 years in power. It will twice as difficult to integrate the muslim immigrants when they will be treated as a special caste, like hispanics. This will occur as their numbers rise.
“That Post article is really just awe-inspiringly idiotic. The Pulitzer-Prize winning “reporter” (aptly named A. Nutt) begins by asking “what can science tell us” about Mateen’s motivations…she then interviews a “social psychologist” (God help us all) who delivers herself of the profound insight that “hate of other people is really displaced hate of oneself.” From this it follows that when Donald Trump says mean things about Muslims, it adds to their self-hatred, which then turns into hatred of others, leading to terrorist killing sprees. Or something like that. SCIENCE! Where would we be without it?

I’m from North Jersey. Trump’s been a household name here since the 1980s. Nothing he’s done in his career makes me think we’d have fewer freedoms under him than Hillary.
Take a moment, though, to appreciate the service Trump has provided already:
1) He’s pointed out that our wars this century have been costly disasters that achieved nothing for us. That’s revolutionary. GOPs had continued to carry water for W’s Iraq Attaq, and even Dems like Obama claimed that the problem with Iraq was that it distracted us from the “real war” in Afghanistan, which has also been a costly disaster.
2) He has argued that any immigration should be in our national interest. Again, an obvious point to the Steve-o-Sphere, but a revolutionary idea in American politics.
3) He has question the benefit to us of persistent trade deficits. Another obvious point, except to the columnists at the WSJ, Economist, NYT, and FT. This is similar to immigration in the sense that status quo elites aren’t even trying hard to argue it’s in America’s benefit anymore; instead they resort to vagaries like warning about American “leadership”. They aren’t starting from the premise that American policy should benefit America.
They say that science advances one funeral at a time. You could say politics advances one political funeral at a time. Jeb Bush is still alive, but his political career is dead as a doorknob thanks to Trump.
Even if Trump doesn’t win, he’s given the GOP a much needed enema, and severed the anchor of W.’s legacy in a way other candidates couldn’t. He deserves gratitude for all of this.

Too late for an immigration moratorium. Whites are a minority of those under 18. The foreigners will not assimilate to Western culture. I expect you’ve noticed, for example, that young Armenians tend to adopt Mexican ways rather than become Americans. “Citizenism” won’t work again, particularly when the Powers That Be don’t want it to.

Clinton was at plus double digits vs Trump a couple months ago. Now she’s +3, +4, +5. That’s good news for Trump, not Clinton. Not that national polls are particularly relevant to the election.
If you’re right, then Trump is gonna clobber cankles, because she can barely eke out a MoE advantage in the polls as it is, less than five months out.
It’s crazy how treacherous the GOPe is. RINO spawn like Megan McCain devote far more time to spewing venom at Trump than they ever have at Hussein.
Now there’s a man who knows how to frame a question. Too many today would put the blame on the vets.
You’re probably addicted to feeling down, what with citing the huge outlier (+12 Bloomberg poll) and ignoring the rest (+5, +3, etc.).

K you’re half a nitwit. I heard the audio, it was a regular sound pattern, as from a single burst from a single weapon. Bump fire is common.

The recent trend for Trump is disturbing (see http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html ), but the lack of a corresponding rise in Clinton’s numbers makes me suspicious.
