McAuliffe's closing message: Va has too many white teachers
“50% of the students at Va. schools K-12, 50% are students of color & yet 80 percent of teachers are white. We all know what we have to do in a school to make everybody feel comfortable in school. So, let’s diversify" pic.twitter.com/TJC2beResW

Establishment Democrats like Joe Biden and Terry McAuliffe are increasingly saying the parts of the Democrats’ Coalition of the Fringes strategy they aren’t supposed to say out loud.
For example, public school teachers are, famously, a crucial Democrat voting bloc. But, because of education reforms in the later 20th Century to improve the quality of teachers, there is less affirmative action in teacher employment at present than in many other occupations, such as public school administrator.
Because the only way to keep the Democrats’ Coalition of the Margins from turning into a circular firing squad is to direct all fire against the demonized devil: whites. But, lots of whites vote Democrat. Indeed, by actively supporting Democrats, they are encouraged to believe themselves forgiven for their original sin of whiteness.
But, in practice, less and less, these subtle distinctions among whites in terms of posited state of grace between Good whites and Bad whites that loom so large in Democratic-leaning white minds mean very little to sacralized Blacks and their increasingly simplistic racist Black good / White bad thought processes. So, you wind up with Clintonite Democrats like McAuliffe announcing that Steps Must Be Taken to deal with his own huge core constituency: white public school teachers.

What kind of medically diagnosed retard thinks that what kids need to feel at school, especially underperforming kids, is relaxation?
It's not about how the kids feel, it's about how it "looks." It's an appeal to (female) POC voters that "there will be jobs" for you by "replacing" white (female) teachers. Diversity requires white teachers be retired early, furloughed, reassigned, dismissed, whatever, to be replaced by POC "teachers."
Prediction:
Hammer and Scorecard,
zero criterion mail-in ballots,
and fifty billion vote as they’re told neem-reeking status-worshipping sons of Ashoka,
but Republicans disavow their own voters and urge everyone to not do anything about it.
Interesting — can someone provide a source? My sense based on anecdotal evidence is that school administrators are, on average, far bigger morons than school teachers, but I hadn’t heard of what Steve is saying here.

Those who can't teach, administrate.
Missing the lede: half of Virginia public school students aren’t white.
McAufliffe didn't simply attack white public school teachers - he attacked white public school teachers he didn't trust to educate his children.
And assuming only four years of private school for each of the four kids, McAuliffe paid at least $640,000 for his kids to experience far less diversity than they could have experienced in public schools at no added cost.Replies: @Polistra, @Abolish_public_education, @Ralph L
It will indeed be fascinating to see who ends up doing what tap dancing to explain whatever the results in the VA Gubernatorial contest.

Nice to see McAuliffe takes his fashion cues from Frank Costanza:
Serenity now, Terry, Serenity now.
I don’t think this is correct Steve. Given the concern that McAuliffe had over black turnout, this was a strategy not a mistake. He’ll have four years to buy back white teacher support by raiding the public purse, but he’s got to get elected first. And apparently McAuliffe’s campaign calculated that the way to do this is explicit appeals to set asides for minorities.
Why are any white people still voting for Democrats?
Prediction #1: Youngkin 54, McAwful 43
Prediction #2: Manchin and Sinema completely abandon the Dems on the social spending bill. A few other congressmen join them.
Prediction #3: A few heads roll in the administration, to make it look like they got the message, and to maybe even actually change course. Probably Alejandro Mayorkas. Mayorkas is prominent enough, and the administration has plenty of other Jews. Oh, and he's a complete failure (intentional though it may be).
Prediction #4: Predictions #2 & 3 don't come true, and Democrats just double down on the Great Replacement.Replies: @Polistra
That’s what Steve is saying. That the morons are relegated to administration now because they can’t cut it as teachers.

I never thought of Terry McAuliffe as being terribly smart so this does not surprise me. The media coverage of the aftermath of this election if McAuliffe loses will be highly entertaining. Rachel Maddow is sure to become apoplectic along with the majority of CNN’s on-air staff.
As governor, Bill Clinton instituted a teacher’s exam. One of the unfortunate effects of this was that those who just couldn’t get up to speed and had to be let go were disproportionately black. I think I got that from his autobiography, of which I read about half before losing interest.
i have predicted this (more or less) for years. the people who try to help blacks will be their first victims. the indifferent survive.
Hilariously, Mr. McAuliffe lives in one of the wealthiest (and whitest) parts of Virginia:

That, and for insurance pallet loads of document storage boxes full of magic ballots forklifted into ballot counting locations. You could ask the seven Republicans in Orange County California who were members of Congress until the middle of the night of the 2018 election when a quarter of a million harvested ballots turned up.
Definitely. This is where the real affirmative action kicks in – principals, assistant principals, superintendents and directors of diversity with a slew of credentials in weak majors from middling institutions, but once in these positions they really have to screw up to lose them. There are certainly crappy teachers too, but they either learn to at least handle the classroom or take themselves out of the picture by getting a job somewhere else if they cannot hack it, so there is some selective pressure at work for these jobs.
“He’ll have four years to buy back white teacher support”
Probably not necessary, these daft white school teachers probably agree with him.
Liberal white women love it when daddy tells them they’ve been bad. That is the essence of American politics in the current year. This guy knows his audience.

Part of this is Democrats have long since figured out Republicans become paralyzed with fear on the race issue so the former can pretty much say anything and get no push back from the latter.
If this were a war, Republicans may have the larger army, spiffy uniforms, better rifles, and even better tactics.
But the Dems have tactical nuclear weapons: The race issue.

Related to the race issue is that Dems don't even have to focus so much on "get out the vote" efforts.

That’s right. Neither are able to deliver a coherent political message, because neither is a good politician. McAuliffe is merely a Clinton bag man. Biden has always been a blithering idiot and senile dementia hasn’t helped.
McAuliffe is panicking because the electorate hates his positions on CRT in public schools and allowing boys to pretend to be trannies to rape girls in school restrooms. In his panic, he is flailing around looking for a message.
While public school teachers may desperately want to teach CRT (basically anti-white racism) so it can be applied to Trump voters, they certainly do not expect it applied to themselves. It’s the old Kathy Shaidle line (slightly modified): “white racism is different when we do it.”
This is also right. My wife is getting her teaching credential in Virginia and although she is doing very well in the process, the testing is challenging. Many of her classmates have failed the credentialing tests multiple times.
I don’t know, Steve. These white teachers have already got their place in the Taxpayer-funded gravy train. They’d be glad to show how woke they are by voting for quotas that screw the next set.
Yes, there are others still at the Ed Schools looking to get jobs, but these people have been brainwashed to be woke as all hell. Thinking about these racial quotas decreasing their chances is some serious bad-thought, so they won’t think it.
Yes, that’s the mindset of the nice woke ladies teaching the kids in school. It’s really not a problem till they get past handwriting and the multiplication tables.
This might backfire, but then again white liberals cheered when Jimmy Fallon announced that white deaths were outpacing white births.
Kool-aid drinking is the apt analogy; something about sacrificing all for a cause, even if it is a lost cause.
Youngkin is a private equity guy (like Mitt Romney); he ran the Carlyle Group, formerly a major war profiteer. Youngkin also comes across like an annoying goof-ball. I wouldn’t trust him.
It used to be that these finance guys just chipped in together to buy some politicians. Now they run for office themselves – Youngkin in Virginia, Murphy and Corzine (both former Goldman-Sachs guys) in Jersey, Romney in whatever zip-code he happens to be in this year.
Government by the people…………yeah, right.
You’ll never act woke enough to avoid the woke chopping block, Nice White Public School Teachers. But it was kinda fun watching you try.

I’ve seen this first hand when states which are broke start sniffing around the generous “retire at 50” (or thereabouts) benefits afforded teachers. The older set will reluctantly settle for cut backs provided their benefits are grandfathered in. “Pull up the ladder Jack, I’m all right.”
That was the case with the USPS, wherever I worked. Used to be, anyway. The bureaucracy was a sinecure for black men who either couldn’t cut it or were too lethargic to carry mail. It may have changed a bit, since the black women have been augmented with bossypants types who, despite their awesome unattractiveness, are on the lookout for any sign of harassment. So the bruthas may have found office politics to be less of a playing field than a minefield, one best avoided if at all possible. “Seven years of make-work down the drain; might as well f***in’ go back to carrying.”
This.

NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt ran a long piece last night about the racism-driven voting-law "reforms" to Texas law that racist Republicans had undemocratically forced through the State Legislature. To stop Blacks and Hispanics from exercising their Constitutional rights to have Their Votes Count, the evil new law evilly adds immoral and unnecessary "voter ID" requirements to vote-by-mail.
The killer point was splashed across the screen: while nine gazillion votes were tallied in the last Texas election, a trifling 154 had any sort of irregularity, such as "fraud". That's a mere 0.0003210%.

They’ll eat it up. Braindead white teachers cry about the unbearable whiteness of their profession constantly themselves. They just never stop to think it could be their job on the line. And they’re not about to start now.
The schools are so obviously crappy that the only way for either of these shmucks to get elected is to campaign on making them even crappier.
DEM: Spend tax dollars on daycare and give control to babysitters.
GOP : Spend tax dollars on daycare and give control to utilizers.
A_p_e: Cut property taxes by 50% and let taxpayers control their own money.
All teachers should be Jewish. Jewish teachers are just naturally more appropriate for kids of color. Also, they are just superior teachers as has been shown throughout history really. We desperately need equity, and Jewish educators will deliver that hard and continuously.
SAT scores to education schools are pretty low for either group, but administrators are usually just more ambitious teachers. But now SATs will be thrown out to provide cover.
Teachers will still vote for the Dems and consider this is just election rhetoric. And they are expecting more goodies in the reconciliation pork bill.
Missing the other lede: at least four of McAwful’s five children didn’t even attend public school. One attended Gonzaga College High School (\$24,950/year), and three attended The Potomac School (\$45,650/year).
McAufliffe didn’t simply attack white public school teachers – he attacked white public school teachers he didn’t trust to educate his children.

But do diverse students prefer to be taught by diverse teachers? I am not sure that is the case. And do white teachers feel “comfortable” teaching 80% diverse students? That, I’m sure isn’t true…
Yes, we all know: turn the demographics back to 80% white people, this way both teachers and students will feel more comfortable. Why is it that no one thinks this way?
Just a rerun of NYC educational policies back in the late sixties.
Then, famously, a large proportion of the NYC teacher faculty were of Jewish ancestry.
By that time the black power movement had major traction, and had more or less captured the NYC education bureaucracy. A key demand was for more black teachers. To implement this, white teachers, necessarily, had to be fired, wholesale. A disproportionate number of those targeted white teachers were Jewish, thus Jewish school teachers in NYC took it as a naked anti semitic measure, and this largely forgotten episode created much friction between NYC black activists and NYC Jews, who, traditionally were strong allies.
I went to several different schools, mostly somewhat integrated. There were a few debates where I started with “you can’t punish whites. White doesn’t even mean anything. Are you white?” and the Jewish kid would say he was Jewish, then I’d press the point about owning their whiteness. Finally, they’d say no, they were not white. Whereupon black kids and Jewish kids argued about whether jews were included in the people who had to give up stuff, jobs, etc. They’d argue for a while. Finally, someone on their side said they should be arguing with me. But the wind was out of their sails.
Unfortunately, jews mostly do not compete with blacks for anything but living space in the cities. And not in most cities. Just a few cool ones. Being at the high end of intelligence for people who are classified as white, Jews have less to fear from AA in college admission. Plus, if Unz is right, jews get their own structural Semitism bonus — essays about mission trips are cliched, but essays about birthright trips are kosher — at a minimum, they do not have the “he could be conservative” penalty that rural whites face.
The fact is Jews are rather thin on the ground in most of America. Besides NYC, where could they be pitted against blacks?
I remember when lawyers were Republican boogeymen. They should punish their enemies who mostly vote Democratic and gum up the works of everything. Cali might even have their trillion-dollar high-speed rail. Most of the money spent before it was killed went to lawyers. I guess that endless dickering in court adds about a decade and 50% of the final cost to every big project. Has anyone calculated the amount of money the government spends paying special interests groups’ lawyers to sue it? It must be astronomical.
Ooh, I have an idea! A lawyer tax! Imposed by the state, collected for cities. Because a huge chunk of the income black males get from crime goes to paying their lawyer when they inevitably plea bargain, something should be done to compensate the community for the lost wealth. A 15% across the board tax on all criminal defense attorneys’ income. Proceeds from the tax can be used to, I dunno, pay likely criminals not to commit crimes. Prosecutors do little besides trying to put the flower of black manhood behind bars — 15% tax on their income. Maybe we don’t want to tax prosecutors, but with the Soros-sponsored district attorneys who have been elected recently, maybe we do want a prosecutor tax.
I realize not all, or even a majority of lawyers are Jews. These days, particularly smart Jews do not become lawyers. Those are in venture capital, etc. mostly in major cities with big ghettoes.
Perhaps a tax, also imposed by the state and collected for cities, on high-paying jobs in cities? The VC etc who work in the city but live in the suburbs drain money out of the city. The ones who live in the city contribute to inequality and inequity within the city. Plus, the demographics of VC firms do not look like the cities they are based in. They recruit nationally, you say? Then the demographics should match the demographics of the age band from which they recruit. Until the firms reflect the wonderfully rainbowish diversity of America, they need to pay.

Let’s not forget this gem from McAuliffe.
This reminds me of a video somebody shared of film industry YouTuber Grace Randolph who bemoaned how ‘undiverse’ the audience breakdown of ‘Last Night in Soho’ was and how that may have been it’s downfall. The numbers she cited?
55% White
20% Hispanic
14% Asian/Other
10% Black
In other words, so close to the actual total demographics of the US that it actually amazed me that it pulled such broad appeal despite it being a film aimed at women that celebrates white women and Mad Men-esque nostalgia for when people got all dressed up and gender roles were more rigid (And neon lights, every but particularly film directors love neon lights) while adding a horror-supernatural element to give the visuals a plot. (And make sure the film and it’s target audience don’t get too much cognitive dissonance from their enjoyment of 1960s London) You’d think you’d even get a bit of a class divide etc but no, almost perfect broad appeal.
Here you have somebody whose job it is to analyse these things and they think 55% white is too white basically.
But then non-white = virtue and white = sin and you can never have too little virtue and too little sin.
Latinos came to the US because they wanted to live in a white-run country. They didn't come here to live in a black-run country.

The killer point was splashed across the screen: while nine gazillion votes were tallied in the last Texas election, a trifling 154 had any sort of irregularity, such as “fraud”. That’s a mere 0.0003210%.
Good people everywhere are anxiously hoping that the Courts will protect Democracy by striking down this vote-suppression edict before it’s Too Late.
As Yogi Berra once said, “You can observe a lot by just watching NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.”

LOL. Snopes will be along shortly to tell us that this statement absolutely isn’t true, as Kamala absolutely is not known to have taken any money directly in exchange for sleeping with Grandpa Willie, and definitely never had a pimp of any kind.
A week or so ago I read a Snopes post “fact-checking” the claim that the men Kyle Rittenhouse shot had lengthy criminal records. Snopes makes you read through ~1,500 words of editorializing before it grudgingly admits that Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz all, in fact, had significant criminal records.

Democratic voters are the ones who express by far the most hatred for Israel, yet virtually all the Jews in office are in their party. Jews pretty much run their party.
Eight of the top 10 donors to Democratic candidates are Jewish.
28% of Joe Biden’s cabinet is Jewish, including five of the six most powerful positions – State, Treasury, Justice, Homeland Security, and Chief of Staff. When George W. Bush entered office he was openly criticized for being one of the rare US presidents to not have any Jews in his cabinet.
Four of the last five Democratic Supreme Court nominees have been Jewish. If Merrick Garland had been confirmed the SCOTUS would have been 44% Jewish.
9% of the US Senate (and 18% of Democrats) are Jews, including the majority leader. Even Georgia now has a Jewish senator. None of the 50 Republicans in the Senate are Jewish.
6.2% of the US House is Jewish – 11.4% of Democrats, but only 1% of Republicans. 15% of House Committee chairs, including the powerful Budget Committee Chair, are Jewish.
But somehow when Democrats are in charge of Congress Israel doesn’t have any power. Good to know.
Those who can’t do, teach.

Less than 50% of the children in public schools in the U.S. are classified as non-Hispanic White. Remember in 2011 when Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman failed to understand that data point and also failed to understand Simpson’s Paradox when comparing Wisconsin public schools to Texas public schools.
White public school teachers are not always so nice…..

Will be interesting to see what happens. Had a lot of structural advantages but has kind of pissed them away. He is sort of a dork and not as physically attractive as Youngkin. Get the impression he’s very worried about the outcome. But we’ll see how it unfolds. Problem for the pukes is government has grown so much that NOVA is very liberal. Used to be Alexandria was liberal and Fairfax 50/50 (e.g. Congressman Frank Wolf). Now Fairfax is pretty liberal and even Loudon (once redneck) has turned liberal. I’m actually surprised Glenn has made it this much of a fight. Hope he pushes it over the line.

Teachers are part of a very politically cohesive guild. This applies to private school teachers as well. They are gatekeepers for the credentials that guarantee their continued employment.

You gotta be kidding if you think McAuliffe’s remark will dissuade white lady teachers from voting for him. These are the same women desperate to get their kids jabbed with an mRNA transfection that they have literally zero need for, and which has a very good chance of doing immediate damage to their health, and who knows what in the long term, because you see we have to vax millions of kids to find out what might happen.
Covid Jabz for Kidz is a bright line. On the “yes” side, everyone is an abject moron, incapable of navigating the modern world in any way other than as a head-nodding NPC who believes every single thing the Narrative tells them to believe, even if it changes tomorrow and then changes again the next day. They will conform instantly to every twist and turn. On the “no” side people still have some degree of agency and common sense. The category of “white lady teachers” overlaps about 95% with “Yes, jabz for kidz!” They are desperate for it. And when Jayden or McKayla drops dead or is permanently injured, they will proudly say their kids are “heroes” who died trying to keep others safe. Yes, they are THAT demented.
They are utterly hopeless robots Steve. They’ll vote McAuliffe if he said “every white lady teacher needs to service a young black buck because equity.” Some of them will vote more than once, too, because virtue signaling “morality” demands it of them.

This is why I can’t get too excited about this one. The dems are acting like they’ll never lose an election again because they know they won’t, at least in most precincts besides overwhelmingly red ones. DMV ladies run things and DMV ladies don’t mind breaking some eggs to make omelets.
McAuliffe will find just enough votes. Just like Newsom did. Just like Biden did. Just like Franken did. Just like Gregoire did.
And for that matter, just like Gore was going to do until it was finally stopped. The session they learned there is that they can’t be quite so obvious about where the found votes come from, so now they just stash them in the back until they are needed instead of rifling through the old ones in public.
If this were a war, Republicans may have the larger army, spiffy uniforms, better rifles, and even better tactics.
But the Dems have tactical nuclear weapons: The race issue.
Things like big rallies are so 2000.
Related to the race issue is that Dems don't even have to focus so much on "get out the vote" efforts.

The best way to combat election fraud is to get rid of early voting and replace it with for-cause by-request absentee voting with serial numbers on each ballot.
I wish some enterprising state would do that and make up for it with the press by also passing legislation to make Election Day a state holiday and/or mandate paid time off for voting.
But most people are too lazy to support that and republicans are too scared to “disenfranchise” the cheaters.

A judge somewhere will get rid of the first and keep the second.
As if students can only learn anything from a teacher that’s similar to them racially. So one can’t learn math from someone who’s Asian if they themselves aren’t? This is really stupid, but stupid people say stupid things. This is the mental level of the career political class. The entire educational establishment is rotten from top to bottom. Its happened over a long period of time, a march through the institutions. Teacher union presidents are usually extreme leftists. Most of those nice teachers will self-flagellate upon command. They’ll vote for the person who abuses them no matter the disconnect between what’s good for them and this false ideology.
One of the single most obnoxious things people on the Right do is continually point out their hypocrisy. Not only is it completely pointless as you point out, it shows they’re idiots or moral cowards who can’t grasp or grapple with what the modern Left is all and only about: power. Everything else is a means to that end; as a ’60s slogan put it, “The issues is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.” For a more detailed take, I recommend this essay on “Leninthink”; TL;DR: In Soviet Russia ideology mattered for nothing, the current Party Line was everything.

A few quotes.
Lenin did more than anyone else to shape the last hundred years. He invented a form of government we have come to call totalitarian, which rejected in principle the idea of any private sphere outside of state control. To establish this power, he invented the one-party state... Lenin believed that state power had to be based on sheer terror, and so he also created the terrorist state.
...what is new, and uniquely horrible about the Soviets and their successors, is that they directed their fury at their own people. The Russian empire lost more people in World War I than any other country, but still more died under Lenin. His war against the peasants, for instance, took more lives than combat between Reds and Whites.
...
Lenin regarded all interactions as zero-sum. To use the phrase he made famous, the fundamental question is always “Who Whom?”—who dominates whom, who does what to whom, ultimately who annihilates whom. To the extent that we gain, you lose. Contrast this view with the one taught in basic microeconomics: whenever there is a non-forced transaction, both sides benefit, or they would not make the exchange. For the seller, the money is worth more than the goods he sells, and for the buyer the goods are worth more than the money. Lenin’s hatred of the market, and his attempts to abolish it entirely during War Communism, derived from the opposite idea, that all buying and selling is necessarily exploitative.
...
...Lenin always insisted on the most violent solutions. Those who do not understand him mistake his ideas for those ...who argued that violence was permitted when necessary... But for Lenin, maximal violence was the default position. He was constantly rebuking subordinates for not using enough force, for restraining mobs from lynchings, and for hesitating to shoot randomly chosen hostages.
...
So far as I know, never before had the law prescribed lawlessness... the Soviet state was absolutely forbidden from exercising any restraint on arbitrary use of power. Indeed, officials were punished for such restraint, which Lenin called impermissible slackness and Stalin would deem lack of vigilance.
The same logic applied to rights. On paper, the Soviet Constitution of 1936 guaranteed more rights than any other state in the world. I recall a Soviet citizen telling me that people in the USSR had absolute freedom of speech—so long as they did not lie. I recalled this curious concept of freedom when a student defended complete freedom of speech except for hate speech—and hate speech included anything he disagreed with. Whatever did not seem hateful was actually a “dog-whistle.”

Public schools are merely a jobs program for a Democrat-voting constituency. Education, with actual learning outcomes (knowledge acquisition and subject-matter mastery), is an incidental and accidental byproduct.
It’s not about how the kids feel, it’s about how it “looks.” It’s an appeal to (female) POC voters that “there will be jobs” for you by “replacing” white (female) teachers. Diversity requires white teachers be retired early, furloughed, reassigned, dismissed, whatever, to be replaced by POC “teachers.”
Yes. It’s about time those nice white women teachers learned their racial ABCs.

It would have been quite simple for Congress to have passed a law 20-odd years ago moving federal elections to the Friday evening, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon after All Saints’ Day. It’s within the delegated powers of Congress to do so and having elections on the mid-19th c. market day is a relic. It’s a reasonable wager that state legislatures would have amended the electoral calendar of their domestic races accordingly. You could at least avoid lines either side of rush hour. That that wasn’t done is another indicator that everything our politicians do is done with the left hand or for ulterior motives.
It's why nothing gets done about the present state of "elections." Dems, and the millions of people who vote for them, like it because, well, they win! It's like trying to negotiate a nuclear arms reduction treaty when only one side has nukes. Unless rural counties in Michigan or Pennsylvania start flooding the system with dubious ballots to counter-act urban fraud, nothing is going to change in national or statewide elections.
Would have disenfranchised Orthodox Jews, though.
McAufliffe didn't simply attack white public school teachers - he attacked white public school teachers he didn't trust to educate his children.
And assuming only four years of private school for each of the four kids, McAuliffe paid at least $640,000 for his kids to experience far less diversity than they could have experienced in public schools at no added cost.Replies: @Polistra, @Abolish_public_education, @Ralph L

and replace it with for-cause by-request absentee voting with serial numbers on each ballot … make Election Day a state holiday and/or mandate paid time off for voting.
and NO. Abolish all forms of convenience voting. It’s not unreasonable (racist!) to ask someone who wants to exercise their right [to impose taxes on their neighbors] to actually show up, at their designated precinct on Election Day, in order to do so. If voting is so important to someone, they can arrange their affairs so as take personal time off from work, not be on an overseas vacation (deployment!) on voting day, schedule a ride share, etc.
State holidays are a terrible idea, except for the fact that the more time that government bureaucrats spend away from their coffee machines the better.

What’s wrong with having an Election Day? If you can’t make it, send in a copy of your DL for a ballot, and make them present a State ID if voting in person. After all, if you are voting in a political entity, then having a State ID is certainly a reasonable proviso to ensure that you are who you say you are.
Sure, that sounds reasonable, but that's only because you don't watch enough TV news. It turns out there are large numbers of ballots that could have a lot of trouble meeting that condition. Probably a few voters, too.
Anyway, everybody knows that liberal Scandinavia is the lodestone for what should be done in the U.S., so just because they accept a photo ID requirement, why should we? For once, can't the U.S. measure up to Europe?
Or something.
I don’t know too clearly what I want, but I know what I don’t want when I see it. If I were to judge this McAuliffe purely by what he says here, I’d describe him in loathsome terms.

Well said. In addition, the only ID acceptable for in-person voting should be a US Citizen passport. This is because states and counties issue driver’s licenses to legal-resident non-citizens, and, absurdly, to illegal aliens. To facilitate this, make the passport available to US Citizens far more cheaply than now.
Then, famously, a large proportion of the NYC teacher faculty were of Jewish ancestry.
By that time the black power movement had major traction, and had more or less captured the NYC education bureaucracy. A key demand was for more black teachers. To implement this, white teachers, necessarily, had to be fired, wholesale. A disproportionate number of those targeted white teachers were Jewish, thus Jewish school teachers in NYC took it as a naked anti semitic measure, and this largely forgotten episode created much friction between NYC black activists and NYC Jews, who, traditionally were strong allies.Replies: @Rob
Your comment deserves a gold box.
I went to several different schools, mostly somewhat integrated. There were a few debates where I started with “you can’t punish whites. White doesn’t even mean anything. Are you white?” and the Jewish kid would say he was Jewish, then I’d press the point about owning their whiteness. Finally, they’d say no, they were not white. Whereupon black kids and Jewish kids argued about whether jews were included in the people who had to give up stuff, jobs, etc. They’d argue for a while. Finally, someone on their side said they should be arguing with me. But the wind was out of their sails.
Unfortunately, jews mostly do not compete with blacks for anything but living space in the cities. And not in most cities. Just a few cool ones. Being at the high end of intelligence for people who are classified as white, Jews have less to fear from AA in college admission. Plus, if Unz is right, jews get their own structural Semitism bonus — essays about mission trips are cliched, but essays about birthright trips are kosher — at a minimum, they do not have the “he could be conservative” penalty that rural whites face.
The fact is Jews are rather thin on the ground in most of America. Besides NYC, where could they be pitted against blacks?
I remember when lawyers were Republican boogeymen. They should punish their enemies who mostly vote Democratic and gum up the works of everything. Cali might even have their trillion-dollar high-speed rail. Most of the money spent before it was killed went to lawyers. I guess that endless dickering in court adds about a decade and 50% of the final cost to every big project. Has anyone calculated the amount of money the government spends paying special interests groups’ lawyers to sue it? It must be astronomical.
Ooh, I have an idea! A lawyer tax! Imposed by the state, collected for cities. Because a huge chunk of the income black males get from crime goes to paying their lawyer when they inevitably plea bargain, something should be done to compensate the community for the lost wealth. A 15% across the board tax on all criminal defense attorneys’ income. Proceeds from the tax can be used to, I dunno, pay likely criminals not to commit crimes. Prosecutors do little besides trying to put the flower of black manhood behind bars — 15% tax on their income. Maybe we don’t want to tax prosecutors, but with the Soros-sponsored district attorneys who have been elected recently, maybe we do want a prosecutor tax.
I realize not all, or even a majority of lawyers are Jews. These days, particularly smart Jews do not become lawyers. Those are in venture capital, etc. mostly in major cities with big ghettoes.
Perhaps a tax, also imposed by the state and collected for cities, on high-paying jobs in cities? The VC etc who work in the city but live in the suburbs drain money out of the city. The ones who live in the city contribute to inequality and inequity within the city. Plus, the demographics of VC firms do not look like the cities they are based in. They recruit nationally, you say? Then the demographics should match the demographics of the age band from which they recruit. Until the firms reflect the wonderfully rainbowish diversity of America, they need to pay.
If McAuliffe really believes that we need more diversity why doesn’t he step aside and let a black person run in his place?
There is a theory that the regime is letting McAuliffe implode and won’t save him with fraud in an effort to continue the purge of the Clinton Machine. It could also help them push the “voter suppression” argument for 2022 and 2024. The token opposition side of the regime will go out with the narrative that a Youngkin win shows Trump is a drag on Republicans nationally, essentially trying to reset the board to where it was in 2015. If the GOP establishment can’t prevent a true blue member like Youngkin from losing due to fraud, confidence in them is going to plummet even among hard core Never Trump members. There will be no holding onto what little power they have left in the party after that.
Those epicycles keep on multiplying. A simpler model is that there are a number of people out there, particularly women, who are closer to the Republicans than the Democrats in terms of policies but refuse to support Trump because of his low-class behavior.

1. Nothing is objective in education
2. Because nothing is objective she is pushing politics like everyone else
3. She is just as morally justified as anyone else and feels strongly about her beliefsThis is critical theory in a nutshell. Teachers pushing a political point of view while believing they are morally justified because objectivity never existed in the first place. The whole world is a class/race war and they are doing their part for the Good Side. But like I said some of them aren't even aware of what they are doing. In a lot of education schools there isn't a discussion of critical theory. It is simply the way. If you notice that Whites are blamed most of the time then you are just being racist for caring. Whites are blamed all the time because they have caused all these racial problems. Says so right here in the book.

I don’t think “Fire all the white schoolteachers,” is a message that goes over well with Latinos. Working-class Latinos don’t go much into teaching jobs, and they sure as heck don’t want their kids to be taught by black teachers who will wink at the black kids beating up Latino kids. Most Latinos go to public schools, not private schools. They’re stuck with misbehaving black students.
Latinos came to the US because they wanted to live in a white-run country. They didn’t come here to live in a black-run country. Latinos know the average American black is appallingly arrogant and incompetent. Latinos are more realistic about their own skills and level of innate ability, and they know they can’t do everything. Blacks have zero modesty and think they can do everything when they can’t.
Public or semi-public sector unions do not care about new hires.
Also, the teachers’ union is just a lesbian cult. The witches would probably prefer that fewer whites join the ranks, as younger white women only serve to emphasize the unpleasantness and uselessness of these termagants.
Being ‘allies’ in this effort also serves as validation. The collaborators want to prove their bona fides to the new masters, and witches and spinsters who have been trying to undermine society ever since they recognized themselves as society’s least desirable members will always be the first to collaborate with the enemy.

All that said, I’d wager McAuliffe won’t lose by even a fraction of a point. And that said, I do hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

They don’t, of course, because incumbents are overwhelmingly re-elected. Why rock the boat?
It’s why nothing gets done about the present state of “elections.” Dems, and the millions of people who vote for them, like it because, well, they win! It’s like trying to negotiate a nuclear arms reduction treaty when only one side has nukes. Unless rural counties in Michigan or Pennsylvania start flooding the system with dubious ballots to counter-act urban fraud, nothing is going to change in national or statewide elections.

A few quotes.
Lenin did more than anyone else to shape the last hundred years. He invented a form of government we have come to call totalitarian, which rejected in principle the idea of any private sphere outside of state control. To establish this power, he invented the one-party state... Lenin believed that state power had to be based on sheer terror, and so he also created the terrorist state.
...what is new, and uniquely horrible about the Soviets and their successors, is that they directed their fury at their own people. The Russian empire lost more people in World War I than any other country, but still more died under Lenin. His war against the peasants, for instance, took more lives than combat between Reds and Whites.
...
Lenin regarded all interactions as zero-sum. To use the phrase he made famous, the fundamental question is always “Who Whom?”—who dominates whom, who does what to whom, ultimately who annihilates whom. To the extent that we gain, you lose. Contrast this view with the one taught in basic microeconomics: whenever there is a non-forced transaction, both sides benefit, or they would not make the exchange. For the seller, the money is worth more than the goods he sells, and for the buyer the goods are worth more than the money. Lenin’s hatred of the market, and his attempts to abolish it entirely during War Communism, derived from the opposite idea, that all buying and selling is necessarily exploitative.
...
...Lenin always insisted on the most violent solutions. Those who do not understand him mistake his ideas for those ...who argued that violence was permitted when necessary... But for Lenin, maximal violence was the default position. He was constantly rebuking subordinates for not using enough force, for restraining mobs from lynchings, and for hesitating to shoot randomly chosen hostages.
...
So far as I know, never before had the law prescribed lawlessness... the Soviet state was absolutely forbidden from exercising any restraint on arbitrary use of power. Indeed, officials were punished for such restraint, which Lenin called impermissible slackness and Stalin would deem lack of vigilance.
The same logic applied to rights. On paper, the Soviet Constitution of 1936 guaranteed more rights than any other state in the world. I recall a Soviet citizen telling me that people in the USSR had absolute freedom of speech—so long as they did not lie. I recalled this curious concept of freedom when a student defended complete freedom of speech except for hate speech—and hate speech included anything he disagreed with. Whatever did not seem hateful was actually a “dog-whistle.”

Thanks. A particularly pithy version is Orwell’s, which I’m sure you know:
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.”
I haven’t checked, but I’m sure that both major party, big government, VA gubernatorial candidates support the various, school tax increases on Dominion local ballots today:
• Loudon County \$135M in GO bonds
• Arlington County: \$23M in bonds
• City of Danville: +1% retail sales tax, \$141M in GO bonds
• Fairfax County: \$360M in bonds
• Goochland County: \$60M in bonds
• Pittsylvania County: up to +1% sales tax

That’s what Steve is saying. That the morons are relegated to administration now because they can’t cut it as teachers.
Most admins are not idiots by any measure. They basically have to play stupid for the circus to work. They may do stupid things at times but most people would crack if they knew what these admins had to burden behind the scenes.
Public education is a charade. It takes a high level of intelligence to manage a district while at the same time maintaining a false persona.
Affirmative action in public schools is mainly for White women. It’s not even AA so much as these schools become clubs for White liberal women. White men are allowed to teach math and science but if a minority comes for one of those positions then they will be sent packing. I know a White man that was explicitly told to not bother unless he was applying to a (cough) “low-income” school where they will take anyone. White liberal women have all the good spots in the burbs locked down and only take applications from non-White men.
The crazy thing is that positions in private schools are even more competitive despite having less pay and benefits. There are plenty of White women willing to take a pay cut to work with private school kids. These are mostly Christian women that have a husband with a decent salary. That is really the traditional model where women are the teachers but are expected to have a husband that works a regular job.
Steve Sailer Has Been All Over This Nice White Lady Teacher Business

Nice White Lady School Teachers Brings Up Kimba Wood In A Playboy Bunny Outfit
Of Course It Does
Steve Sailer Notices Kimba Wood Was A Playboy Bunny While At The London School Of Economics
Steve Sailer from 2015:
Here’s a brand new article from the New York Times that nicely illustrates the theme of my Taki’s column about how the Eye of Sauron can only glare at a few instances of discrimination at a time. For example, the federal government is currently blithely rebuilding the civil service examination system, junked as discriminatory in 1981 due to disparate impact, but is also persecuting the very blue state of New York for trying to hire good teachers.
Does that make sense? Of course not, but that’s not the point, the point is that it’s more fun to be behind the Eye than in front of it.
I haven’t heard the name Judge Kimba Wood for a while. She was, briefly, a Playboy bunny while she was at the London School of Economics, then went to Harvard Law. She sentenced Mike Milken to 10 years in the pen, was going to be Bill Clinton’s Attorney General nominee but got hit with Nannygate, then was involved in a steamy 1995 divorce trial that was the talk of New York society.
Kimba Wood has a J.D. from Harvard Law School. As everybody knows, Harvard Law put a lot of effort into accurately measuring the bareminimum knowledge it takes to be a competent lawyer and then picks its admittees randomly from among all those who clear that hurdle. Harvard Law School would never think about admitting applicants from the top down based on a combination of the LSAT exam and college grades.
I haven’t been able to find out where Kimba Wood sent her only child, the son of her second of three husbands, Time columnist Michael Kramer, to school. I found a high four-figure donation from her and her financier third husband to Ethical Culture Fieldston School (tuition \$43,265), so that might be a guess.
So it’s obviously due to some idiosyncratic failure of the test, since no other test in no other state has ever had the same problem.
The important thing is that no one ever learn from any other examples. Noticing general patterns is evil.
You’re especially not allowed to notice the g factor.
Education Realist points out that a reform made by Congress a number of years ago had the inadvertent impact of making it very hard for ed schools to practice affirmative action.

Yes that crippled troll Gramsci injected his venom into every Western institution.
The article is correct that few are aware that they are serving his goals.
Most students aren’t even aware that critical theory exists. They don’t notice that all explanations are centered around the same culprits (capitalism, Christians, Whites, men, etc). If they do notice then they assume that is merely the result of research. If White men are decreed to be the problem then it must be true. Everything is peer reviewed and all these professors have advanced degrees so how could it be wrong?
There was a teacher not long ago on twitter that admitted to supporting critical theory. She said that
1. Nothing is objective in education
2. Because nothing is objective she is pushing politics like everyone else
3. She is just as morally justified as anyone else and feels strongly about her beliefs
This is critical theory in a nutshell. Teachers pushing a political point of view while believing they are morally justified because objectivity never existed in the first place. The whole world is a class/race war and they are doing their part for the Good Side.
But like I said some of them aren’t even aware of what they are doing. In a lot of education schools there isn’t a discussion of critical theory. It is simply the way. If you notice that Whites are blamed most of the time then you are just being racist for caring. Whites are blamed all the time because they have caused all these racial problems. Says so right here in the book.

McAuliffe wins easily … on Friday or Saturday. After enough “mail in ballots” have been found. Simple as that.
Voter fraud is like counterfeit currency. It makes the object worthless, in the long run, for short term gain. Enough fake notes, and no one will take the currency any more. Eventually, people turn to other mediums of exchange even barter.
Fake votes are the same thing. McAuliffe is in no danger at all, there will be votes “found” in Richmond and other places to give him his victory. That won’t make him legitimate. Almost every White parent will pull their kid out of public school. And resent and evade as much as possible all taxes. Homeschooling or remote private schooling makes moving out to the boonies more plausible. And pretty much most Whites will see government as both illegitimate and fake and also, the enemy. A tool used by mostly black people plus Indians to wreak racial vengeance upon them.
This is where the ruling elite has pooped their pants. Much like Joe Biden meeting the Pope and pooping himself, this obvious vote fraud is dumping a big hot load in their pants in public. Everyone can smell it, knows who pooped themselves, and is going to head for the exits as the clean up duty starts. Would you want to wipe Joe Biden’s poopy butt? Have to change his clothes and dress him?
There is no point in voting, as its all fake and gay. Every last bit of it — as scripted as the WWE.
The thing is, though, this is not Soviet Russia 1932. Without able White men the system is so complex that there is no power, no sewage, no airline flights, no police, nor fire service, nothing. Dontavious, Prajeet, and that 500lb lesbian Triggly Puff are good at throwing around Biden’s poop, but they can’t keep modern society running.
So as long as this status holds we've got plenty to discuss about why the Dems didn't implement an election night Plan B like they did so many times in 2020. Without, as Alexander Turok says, resorting to epicycles, although I can believe his example that he thinks is that as instead being Dem infighting WRT to removing the influence of the Clinton crime family as much as possible for the party. I suspect it's a significant net drain on it today. Epicycles strikes me as much more likely for the thesis this was intended to get Republicans to use primaries less often for picking candidates.
> if you are voting in a political entity, then having a State ID is certainly a reasonable proviso to ensure that you are who you say you are.
Sure, that sounds reasonable, but that’s only because you don’t watch enough TV news. It turns out there are large numbers of ballots that could have a lot of trouble meeting that condition. Probably a few voters, too.
Anyway, everybody knows that liberal Scandinavia is the lodestone for what should be done in the U.S., so just because they accept a photo ID requirement, why should we? For once, can’t the U.S. measure up to Europe?
Or something.
Some do. More, I think, hope that the affirmative action goodies advertised as going to Blacks will end up going to them.

Illegals obviously have additional issues.
While I can't imagine not following elections I have to say they might have the right idea. Their life doesn't change regardless of who's President.

Liberal teachers are only brainwashed in college. Once they get into the classroom they become racial realist liberals. It’s impossible to believe that race doesn’t exist in a multi-racial area. They know the truth but take the position that society is still better off lying about race and trying to subjugate Whites.
Only the threat of losing their jobs will make them question the net value of liberalism. Your typical White liberal female public school teacher is well aware that she is paid to lie. Liberals in such positions think it is unfair that race exists and in fact resent the White children in their classrooms. A conservative friend went into teaching and at some point even he resented the White kids. They skewed the average and already knew the lessons. Some teacher a while back went on a rant about how White kids learn everything through tutors and the Discovery channel. I guess it was unfair to her and the non-White children.
The average public school teacher is a bitter egalitarian that resents reality.
You make some good points, but I’m under the impression Latinos don’t vote at anything like their numbers would suggest they might.
Latinos think Whites are complete idiots for patronizing Blacks. I’m inclined to agree.
They will pretend to like Blacks at times but they all have a cousin that was robbed by one.

The school district where I live is around 80% Latino students and 80% white teachers. Like you said this is mostly because less Hispanics are interested in getting in to the teaching profession. It is a total non-controversy. Unlike uppity whites, Hispanics aren’t woke and they don’t mind whites teaching their children. My impression is they don’t even think about it.
Hispanics famously have low voting rates. While part of it is the voting corruption in the countries they come from, a bigger factor is politics is boring to most of them. I live with a Hispanic family. I remember on election night 2016 when Trump won (with immigration one of his biggest issues) this family was watching a comedy on TV totally oblivious to the election and having no interest in the results.

I don’t know whether a supermajority is required, but right now in Loudoun YES is winning by a 2:1 margin. Even if the 45,000 uncounted absentee ballots all go NO, that won’t be enough to hit 50%.
I don’t disagree with any of what you said, my reasoning is only that we’ll never able to go cold turkey, so there has to be some kind of political compromise to start incrementally heading back in the right direction. Going cold turkey would incite cries of “disenfranchisement!” before the ink would dry and then they’d find a judge to back it up.
To make something like this work, you’ll have to roll back some of the existing excesses and at the same time make provisions to nominally offset what is being changed.
That said, I don’t see for-cause absentee voting as being for “convenience” if it is structured the right way and properly enforced. A voter would still have to come up with a good excuse and go through the application process and then have it approved. This would be a lot better than most exiting early voting where you can just walk right in at any time and no one bats an eye.
But I do agree with you 100% philosophically about the way it ought to be.
Savage is right about one thing at least–liberalism/progressivism really IS a mental disease.

No, we should leverage it. Refuse to do anything until they teach us how– by example.
The Woke bullshit seems to have fuked MacCauliffe, a Clinton crony. The Democrats/Soros/ every fuking globohomo organization poured money into MacCauliffe's campaign. Sent out Dopey Joe... Kamala to the black churches... and then Barry Soreto himself. Nothing worked.
The Red parts of the state went apeshit for this election...Replies: @Jay Fink
I was reading the FiveThirtyEight blog and they said that Youngkin over preformed expectations in the blue parts of the state including the DC suburbs. It looks like the Dems overplayed their hand. Things like critical race theory are truly unpopular, even among many good whites.
Younking won! Victory over Nazis!
so good
I agree with all that, John. It doesn’t change my point. These woman (and they are almost ALL women now, unfortunately) will go for this “more black teachers” and (of course) “more money for diversity programs” crap because they want to be nice and, though they see the real story of race, they will still believe the BS that these new measures will help matters. They are not the brightest people on average, Mr. Johnson – you’ve got to know that too.
√π, of course. What do I get, a pack of sticky rice balls?
I have no trouble believing what you say. And for:
I assume this is done violently, or at least with a gun as a threat, since I also hear “all Mexican men carry a knife,” which I also find easy to believe because it’s a good idea and what I’ve personally done for decades and decades.
Voter fraud is like counterfeit currency. It makes the object worthless, in the long run, for short term gain. Enough fake notes, and no one will take the currency any more. Eventually, people turn to other mediums of exchange even barter.
Fake votes are the same thing. McAuliffe is in no danger at all, there will be votes "found" in Richmond and other places to give him his victory. That won't make him legitimate. Almost every White parent will pull their kid out of public school. And resent and evade as much as possible all taxes. Homeschooling or remote private schooling makes moving out to the boonies more plausible. And pretty much most Whites will see government as both illegitimate and fake and also, the enemy. A tool used by mostly black people plus Indians to wreak racial vengeance upon them.
This is where the ruling elite has pooped their pants. Much like Joe Biden meeting the Pope and pooping himself, this obvious vote fraud is dumping a big hot load in their pants in public. Everyone can smell it, knows who pooped themselves, and is going to head for the exits as the clean up duty starts. Would you want to wipe Joe Biden's poopy butt? Have to change his clothes and dress him?
There is no point in voting, as its all fake and gay. Every last bit of it -- as scripted as the WWE.
The thing is, though, this is not Soviet Russia 1932. Without able White men the system is so complex that there is no power, no sewage, no airline flights, no police, nor fire service, nothing. Dontavious, Prajeet, and that 500lb lesbian Triggly Puff are good at throwing around Biden's poop, but they can't keep modern society running.Replies: @That Would Be Telling
That’s what I expected, but I just read that today, not last night, McAuliffe conceded. He like Gore for example in 2000 could reverse that after perhaps the vote counters are shocked to find more ballots, if our ruling trash wants to rub our nose in their power and further degrade their position, but for now it looks like this infamous Clinton bagman and enforcer wasn’t judged as worth dragging over the top and furthering the counterfeiting consequences.
So as long as this status holds we’ve got plenty to discuss about why the Dems didn’t implement an election night Plan B like they did so many times in 2020. Without, as Alexander Turok says, resorting to epicycles, although I can believe his example that he thinks is that as instead being Dem infighting WRT to removing the influence of the Clinton crime family as much as possible for the party. I suspect it’s a significant net drain on it today. Epicycles strikes me as much more likely for the thesis this was intended to get Republicans to use primaries less often for picking candidates.
Whites, namely white Democrats, are forcing this crap on non-whites. How is that not white supremacism?
Have you ever been to Southern California? Hilarious to suggest that the state is in any way pro-White or even pro-family for that matter. California is what happens when liberals don’t have any opposition. They force their will on everyone and Whites are viewed as the main threat.
Here is a short list of the liberal agenda in California:
Highest taxes on middle class in country
Billions spent on illegals
Illegals protected and hidden from ICE
Never ending anti-gun agenda
Schools embrace CRT
Media/government collusion in suppressing crime data
Tolerance of Black crime
Endless environmental laws that favor wealthy enclaves over middle class homes
Crumbling medical system
Legal drugs
I’m redefining white supremacy to be more expansive: any attempt by any white person to tell any non-white person what he can or cannot do. Under that regime, white separation will be the only option left.
California is still more interested in telling White people what to do. They are completely obsessed with taking away guns and subjugating White kids in the schools even though they are now a minority.
Free markets are free association. Ask those owners of “segregated” diners who wanted to be allowed freely to hire colored to cook and clean. As if white folks couldn’t.

“Win, Winsome!” Also, nice hair!

They often carry a knife on their belt for work but these muggings are fast and the targets aren’t random.
They will watch day laborers at a bar after payday and catch them in the parking lot. So they are drunk and in no position to resist.
These day laborers are known to carry a few thousand at a time around payday since they don’t use banks. Maids are targeted as well.
These woman (and they are almost ALL women now, unfortunately) will go for this “more black teachers” and (of course) “more money for diversity programs” crap because they want to be nice and, though they see the real story of race, they will still believe the BS that these new measures will help matters.
Yes they will definitely support more diversity until they receive their last paycheck.
They see the of reality race but will still rally around any liberal solution on the hope that it improves the situation even if only minuscule amount. Public school teachers are desperate for a way out of reality.
They are not the brightest people on average, Mr. Johnson – you’ve got to know that too.
In college I sat through a few of their open lectures since I was studying nearby. These were ed school lectures for seniors. Basically future teachers of America with only a few quarters left.
After once such lecture I really felt stupid after hearing it. It was so illogical that I felt like I had a weird hangover. The class was probably 95% liberal White women and they were scribbling notes and dutifully nodding their heads. It gave me a sick feeling to know that they would be teaching children within a year. I was literally nauseated by the thought of them teaching anything.
“Root pie” sounds disgusting. Then again, so does “carrot cake” the first time you hear it. Is Patti Labelle’s product a root pie or a tuber tart?
