NY Times and CNN think it is DEFCON 5

Breitbart reports:

During an appearance on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman expressed his concern over what could happen in November if there were enough doubt about the outcome of the November 3 presidential election.

Friedman warned such a lack of confidence in the American election process could lead to a second civil war. ... And I’m terrified to find myself ending my career as a journalist covering America’s potential second civil war in its history.”

Host Anderson Cooper asked Friedman if he really believed it, to which Friedman affirmed the belief ...

“Yes, I think what happened in the last few days is a six-alarm fire,” he replied. “I think it’s DEFCON 5. ...”

DEFCON 5 does not mean what they think it means.

Guns and ammo are selling at record rates. There are riots and looting in the cities. The mainstream news media and the Democrat Party are doing everything they can to encourage the civil unrest.

There are the people who spent four years refusing to accept the 2016 election, and blaming it on weirdo Russian conspiracy theories.

If Biden wins, then the riots will surely get a lot worse. Biden will not be able to keep up with the demands of BLM/Antifa/Jews.

It is hard to explain why the CNN, NY Times, and Biden do so much to promote the civil unrest. Surely they know the facts surrounding George Floyd, Ferguson, etc. The forces for civil war include the Democrat Party, the news media, Hollywood, the schools, and the Deep State. I believe that people are buying guns out of concern that the Left is going to start a war.

My personal opinion is that any shooting war is pure foolishness, and will make everyone very much worse off. It would be far far better to re-elect Trump and avoid war.

Cure worse than the disease

RT reports:

Thousands of Britons who suffer heart attacks and strokes are dying at home instead of seeking medical treatment, a new study has found, as new government figures show 75,000 are projected to die as a result of lockdown measures.

Stay-at-home orders prompted countless people suffering from serious medical conditions to avoid hospitals, according to the study’s findings, which were published in the Heart medical journal and first reported by the Daily Mail. The paper noted that deaths from heart disease in private homes surged by 35 percent from March to July, resulting in 2,279 more fatalities on average over the past six years.

There are not 200k American deaths from COVID-19. There were about 50k or so excess deaths in April and May, and those were attributable to COVID-19.

This study suggests that a lot of those excess might have been caused by the lockdown, not COVID-19.

Democrats want to prolong war for Islam women

NBC News reports:

President Donald Trump’s envoy to Afghanistan faced tough questioning on Tuesday by Democratic lawmakers who accused the administration of jeopardizing the rights of Afghan women in pursuit of a peace deal.

The grilling of U.S. special representative Zalmay Khalilzad came days after the Taliban and the Afghan government entered into peace talks for the first time, a breakthrough that followed a months-long diplomatic push by the Trump administration.

But Rep. Stephen Lynch, chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, and other Democrats said they feared for the future of Afghan women without a firm guarantee from Washington to safeguard their rights.

US military forces have now established Moslem governments in so many Mideast countries that I have lost count. Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, etc.

If you really want the women in these countries to be treated well, there is only one way to do it. Burn down the Mosques, destroy Islam, and convert the countries to Christianity.

Okay, we don't do that. But we have done the opposite, and installed Islamic governments that have driven the Christians out.

We have spent many billions of dollars trying to reform Afghanistan, and I don't see that any good has come of it. Unless we convert them to Christianity, they will still be Moslem when we move out. The rest is mere detail.

NY Times libels Stefan Molyneux

The NY Times reports:

This week, protests erupted around the nation after a Louisville grand jury did not charge any police officers in the killing of Breonna Taylor. And on social media, false and exaggerated claims about Ms. Taylor began recirculating, using a years-old format that was popularized years ago by far-right YouTube personalities. ...

Years ago, Stefan Molyneux, a right-wing podcaster and YouTube personality, got millions of views with a series of videos claiming to tell “the truth about” various prominent news stories, including the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed Black man whose killing by police in Ferguson, Mo., set off the original Black Lives Matter protests.

The “Truth About” format, which promised a kind of secret knowledge to viewers, was appealing to those who distrusted the mainstream media and wanted to hear an alternative explanation for police violence.

Actually, Molyneux never promised any secret knowledge. He used publicly available sources, and you could fact-check him yourself.

The NY Times and other major news media continue to lie about these police incidents. For example, this NY Times story, updated Sept. 15, starts:

Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville, Ky., said that he would sign “Breonna’s Law” after city council members voted unanimously on Thursday evening to ban “no-knock” warrants, a controversial procedure that the city’s police force used during the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in March.

No, the police did not use a no-knock warrant, as you can see on the Wikipedia page.

The above NY Times continues:

Most “Truth About” treatments of police killings follow a standard format. In each case, an influencer calls into question the mainstream media’s framing of the episode, and barrages the audience with details about the victims’ pasts and the circumstances of their deaths in an attempt to prove that, while they may not have deserved to die, they were far from innocent. (Mr. Molyneux, who eventually became a full-fledged white nationalist, has since been banned from YouTube for promoting hate speech, and the videos on his channel have been deleted.)

Yes, they told us that Michael Brown and all the others were Black criminals violently resisting arrest.

It is false that Molyneux became a white nationalist or promoted hate speech. But even if he did, that would just be a reason to disclaim those opinions. Instead, YouTube blocked all of his videos, the vast majority of which were about philosophy, historical facts, or personal relationship advice.

The NY Times gives no source for this claim. They know it is a lie.

What is really going on is that the Lizard People who are taking over this country need to control the flow of information in order to gain the political power they seek. If people know the facts about what really happened in Minneapolis, Kenosha, Ferguson, Portland, Louisville, etc, then they would consider BLM/Antifa and their benefactors a threat to the modern social order, and vote for Trump.

For that reason, people like Molyneux must be silenced and ostracized.

I see Wikipedia also accuses him of promoting white supremacy. It is based on hosting interviews of several South Africans, supporting Donald Trump, being associated with the Alt Right, interviewing race scholars, and once blaming rap culture for Blacks resisting arrest. You can find some of his responses here and here.

If you accept Leftist dogmas like White Fragility theory, then all Whites are inherently White supremacist. Note that he is not accused of being wrong, but merely expressing opinions that others find distasteful. I suspect that the main reason the Left went after Molyneux was his opinions about Marxism and IQ.

Remembering the Notorious RGB

From the funeral service:

Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt of Washington, D.C., compared Ginsburg to a prophet who imagined a world of greater equality and then worked to make it happen.

"This was Justice Ginsburg's life's work. To insist that the Constitution deliver on its promise, that we the people would include all the people. She carried out that work in every chapter of her life," said Holtzblatt, whose husband, Ari, once worked as a law clerk to Ginsburg.

Okay, a eulogy from a female rabbi married to a lawyer who worked for RGB. I guess that is appropriate.

But I do not think that the Preamble to the United States Constitution promised to include all the people. It said that ratifiers were establishing the Constitution to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity".

The Wash. Post remembers her by reprinting this 2004 Ginsburg speech:

I had the good fortune to be a Jew born and raised in the U.S.A. My father left Odessa bound for the New World in 1909, at age 13; ...

My heritage as a Jew and my occupation as a judge fit together symmetrically. The demand for justice runs through the entirety of Jewish history and Jewish tradition. I take pride in and draw strength from my heritage, as signs in my chambers attest: a large silver mezuzah on my door post, [a] gift from the Shulamith School for Girls in Brooklyn; on three walls, in artists’ renditions of Hebrew letters, the command from Deuteronomy: “Zedek, zedek, tirdof” — “Justice, justice shall you pursue.” Those words are ever-present reminders of what judges must do that they “may thrive.” ...

We convene to say “Never again,” not only to Western history’s most unjust regime, but also to a world ...

I am proud to live in a country where Jews are not afraid to say who we are, the second country after Israel to have set aside a day each year, this day, to remember the Holocaust, to learn of and from that era of inhumanity, to renew our efforts to repair the world’s tears. I feel the more secure because this capital city includes a museum dedicated to educating the world, ...

We gather here today, little more than a week after Passover, the holiday when Jews recount their journey from slavery to freedom. We retell the Passover, just as we commemorate the Holocaust, to educate our children, ...

The Passover story we retell is replete with miracles. But unlike our ancestors in their Exodus from Egypt, our way is unlikely to be advanced by miraculous occurrences. In striving to drain dry the waters of prejudice and oppression, we must rely on measures of our own creation ...

Okay, her Jewishness was important to her.

I am not criticizing her here. I just want to point out some examples of Jewish thinking.

She wanted to "educate our children" on the Passover and Holocaust, as if those were similar events with similar lessons. Passover is a Bible story about an Exodus from Egypt. Archaeologists have decoded the records of 1000s of years of Egyptian history, but no there is no Exodus and no Passover. She seems to really believe that she is descended from a Jewish Exodus.

She had a belief in being a Jewish judge, so that she could be a social justice warrior with a lot of power. She cites a Jewish belief that the Goy world is defective, and Jews need to take over and repair it. This doctrine is called Tikkun olam.

She was also an authoritarian. She wanted to dictate behavior to conform with how she thinks the world ought to be. And of course she was a leftist.

Judaism rejects Christian forgiveness. She joins Jews in saying "Never again", as they must always be plotting to avenge their enemies.

As the public debates the next Supreme Court appointment, it is worth observing that Joe Biden has promised to nominate a Black woman. Democrats usually nominate Jews. Four out their last five nominations were Jews. Christians have a different idea of what justice is about.

Jews are paying felons to vote against Trump

The Hill reports:

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has reportedly raised more than $16 million in an effort to help convicted felons in Florida register to vote.

The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition estimated Bloomberg's fundraising push has already paid off monetary obligations for 32,000 felons, Axios reported. ...

Florida passed a law in 2018 reinstating voting rights for felons that dictated they could register only if they pay all fines, fees and restitution — sometimes totaling more than $1,000 — owed to the government. ...

Bloomberg, who ran in the Democratic primary for president, has endorsed the party's nominee, Joe Biden, and has donated at least $100 million to the former vice president's campaign to defeat President Trump.

Supposedly, US Federal law has strict limits on campaign contributions. The FEC web site says the maximum is $2800 per individual donor per candidate.

It is also illegal to pay someone to vote.

I guess these laws have loopholes.

The top donors and fundraisers to the Democrat Party are Jewish. While the Jewish news media has complained endlessly about Russian influence, they only spent about $50k in Facebook ads, and Jews have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to control the election.

Leftist columnist opposes Judicial Supremacy

Black leftist NY Times columnist Jamelle Bouie writes:

Down With Judicial Supremacy!

The Supreme Court was never meant to be the only arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution. ...

judicial supremacy [is] the idea that the courts, and the courts alone, determine constitutional meaning. ...

In Dred Scott, the Court ruled that Black Americans “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” It held that Congress could not ban slavery in federal territories, and it struck down the 1820 Missouri Compromise as an unconstitutional limitation on the rights of slaveholders. Backed by much of the Democratic Party, including President James Buchanan, the court effectively outlawed the Republican Party’s antislavery platform. ...

The United States may not be a “pure democracy,” but it’s not a judgeocracy either, and if protecting the right of the people to govern for themselves means curbing judicial power and the Supreme Court’s claim to judicial supremacy, then Democrats should act without hesitation.

I agree. I blogged a lot against judicial supremacy back in 2004, and cited it as a reason for supporting Trump in 2016.

I do not agree with these media Trump-haters very often.

Naming the Puppetmaster is Unmentionable

Daily Beast:

During a Wednesday night interview with right-wing provocateur Michelle Malkin, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs smeared liberal Jewish financier George Soros with an anti-Semitic trope, claiming Soros’ “tentacles reach out into various non-government organizations and nonprofits.”

Dobbs brought on Malkin, who recently told Fox News that Soros is funding the “illegal alien lawyers lobby,” to hawk her latest anti-immigrant book, and it didn’t take long for her to portray Soros as a “globalist” bent on destroying America’s sovereignty.

“And George Soros himself… explicitly says the idea of sovereignty, something that so many of us who are children of legal immigrants, for example, respect as a fundamental precept for the survival of a country, sovereignty to George Soros is quote-unquote an obstacle,” she said. “And he has created an entire infrastructure of tax-exempt nonprofits to do his bidding.”

Dobbs then took Malkin’s comments a step further.

“It is extraordinary and I think most people, I’ll include myself, cannot conceive of why a man would fund efforts that would work against sovereignty,” Dobbs said. “Work against our laws—there are laws against illegal immigration—and to see his tentacles reach out into various non-government organizations and nonprofits that are working with everything from the Koch Brothers to the Southern Poverty Law Center, as you document through this book.”

“It is stunning to see how pervasive and how successful he has been with his strategy,” he added.

Last year, the Anti-Defamation League commented on the anti-Semitism behind many of the Soros-related conspiracies the right has spread for years, many of which have recently made their way into the mainstream.

“Even if no anti-Semitic insinuation is intended, casting a Jewish individual as a puppet master who manipulates national events for malign purposes has the effect of mainstreaming anti-Semitic tropes and giving support, however unwitting, to bona fide anti-Semites and extremists who disseminate these ideas knowingly and with malice,” the organization noted.

Even Fox News hosts have orders to block criticism of Soros:

Newt Gingrich: "The number one problem in almost all the cities is George Soros-elected, left-wing, antipolice pro-criminal district attorneys…"

Fox host: "I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this."

Newt: "Okay… So, it’s verboten?"

Some have pointed out that Soros grew up speaking Esperanto and is not a practicing Jew. Nevertheless, the Jewish organizations identify him as Jewish.

Why I will vote for Pres. Trump

I started to write an essay on why I will vote for Pres. Trump, but I wanted to address the major arguments for Joe Biden.

However, I am unable to find any coherent arguments for Biden.

The big issues are Peace and Prosperity. On these, Trump is one of the most successful American Presidents we have ever had. Nobody seriously thinks Biden could do any better.

There are plenty of Trump-haters who urge a Biden vote. The vast majority of the political commentary I see is pro-Biden. Eg, NY Times, Wash. Post, Nobel and Turing laureates, NPR Radio, CNN TV, Lincoln Project, etc.

The vast majority uses transparently bogus reasoning. Some complain about Trump's personality. Some cite some Trump misquote, such as Charlottesville having good white supremacists or how we should drink bleach to avoid the coronavirus. Some just make bland general comments or personal name-calling. Some are only interested in identity politics, and have aligned themselves with some anti-white faction. Some are so obviously concealing their real anti-Trump reasons that there arguments are meaningless. Some blame Trump for the coronavirus or the race riots or California wildfires or Florida hurricanes, but have no explanation as to how Biden would have done any better. Some are openly anti-American, and sympathize with those who want to burn it down.

Some say that Biden listens to experts, but that seems to be either a code phrase for being controlled by the Deep State, or a tacit acknowledgement that he is too incompetent to make any decisions.

I am beginning to think that our electoral process is hopelessly flawed. Biden is just a stupid puppet with no genuine popular support, and yet he is propped up by 98% of the news media, 99% of Hollywood, 95% of the super-rich, 98% of academia, 90% of foreign money (as from George Soros), and most of the big corporations. Biden also does well in the welfare class, and other low-information voters. But he offers nothing to the middle class that is the backbone of America.

This nation is being split by differences that will not be resolved by this election. At least Trump gives us a chance for four more years of sane government.

Update: Here is an amusing pro-Trump rant:

You are not going to see some peasant uprising if Trump loses. There has never been a successful peasant uprising in all of human history. It is not a real thing. If the Democrats win this election, they are going to take absolutely everything from us, they are going to lock up all pro-whites, they’re going to take your kids and forcibly inject them with tranny hormones, they’re going to burn down the churches, they’re going to flood the country with so many brown people that you won’t be able to move around. They’re going to immediately abolish the First and Second Amendments, arrest dissidents and confiscate guns. They’re going to completely destroy the economy and ensure that the only thing that exists is a mass of poor people and a tiny elite ruling class. There will be no illusions, no pretension of fairness. They will start massive wars with Russia and China, and virtually all young white men (probably middle aged ones too) will be sent to die in a grinder that will last decades. Then, you’re going to live with that situation until you die.

This is over-the-top, but prominent Democrats are talking about impeaching Trump for following his constitutional duty to make a Supreme Court appointment, and about expanding the court and packing it with leftist ideologues, something that FDR tried and failed to do. They are also talking about making DC and Puerto Rico states, which would be an unconstitutional power play. Yes, if the Democrats gain power, they will do whatever they can to lock in their power.

Hollow praise for Justice RBG

I do not wish to speak ill of the dead, but the hollow praise for Ruth Bader Ginsburg is strange. For example, see this NY Times obituary or this NPR Radio obituary. While they are gushing with lengthy praise for her, they do not say that she ever followed the rule of law on anything.

What they do say, and credit her for, is pursuing a Jewish leftist feminst agenda on the court. And they praise her for the second woman on the supreme court, and the first Jewish woman. It is clear that she is being praised for her identity politics and her leftist ideology, and not much else.

The press never criticized her for writing disingenuous anti-White court opinions. She tried to force others to hire Blacks under affirmative action quotas, but she refused to hire any herself.

In contrast, reviews of Republican appointees like John Roberts nearly always discuss his fidelity to the law.

Already Dems are complaining about a Repub President appointing a justice, with confirmation by a Repub Senate. Elections have consequences. This is a Republican appointment to be made. Besides, the Dems just appoint partisan hacks anyway.

Like Romans Witnessing Christianity

Sam Harris discusses anti-racism with a sensible Black professor who says the current anti-racism movement is a new religion. He says that watching it is like the ancient Romans witnessing the birth of Christianity. He is writing a book on the subject.

They both think it is all foolishness that is doomed to fail. And it might be a distraction from the more important goal of removing Pres. Trump from office.

A Black Harvard law professor and a Jewish Russian-American law professor have written a USA Today op-ed on amending the US Constitution to let foreigners run our country:

Barring naturalized citizens from eligibility for the presidency is little different from discrimination based on race, ethnicity or gender. Such unchosen circumstances of birth say nothing about a person's competence or moral fitness for office. ...

The most obvious objection to letting immigrants ascend to the presidency is concern that they might be less loyal to the nation than native-born citizens. But there is no good reason to think that people who became Americans by choice are less likely to be loyal than those who did so merely by accident of birth.

Yes, I think that immigrants are less likely to be loyal.

Just look at this NY Times op-ed:

I’m a Muslim and Arab American. Will I Ever Be an Equal Citizen?

Nearly 30 years after arriving from Morocco, after building a life and family here, I still hear: “Go back home!”

She was going to return to Morocco, but she married an American and stayed.

A poll says 75% of the public opposes such a change. There are at least 200 million eligible Americans. That ought to be enough.

Taking university confession seriously

I mentioned that Princeton University has admitted to be racist, and now the feds have noticed.

The Wash. Examiner reports:

The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school president's declaration that racism was "embedded" in the institution.

President Christopher Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that "racism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton" and that "racist assumptions" are "embedded in structures of the University itself."

According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that "no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

Eisgruber's letter branding the 274-year-old university racist came after a summer of unrest rife with race riots and an open letter from hundreds of Princeton faculty members who wrote, "Anti-Black racism has a visible bearing upon Princeton’s campus makeup." The admission was followed by dozens of "anti-racist" policy change demands. Among them were calls for select faculty race quotas and to "reconsider" the use of standardized testing for admissions.

Maybe Princeton administrators thought that they were just virtue signaling, and that no one would take their statement seriously.

But taken literally, Princeton was admitted to past racism in violation of federal law, and promising to balance that with future racism, also in violation of federal law. If so, then Princeton is defrauding the federal government out of about $100 million.

Update: Princetone posted:

The University will respond to the Department of Education’s letter in due course. It is unfortunate that the Department appears to believe that grappling honestly with the nation’s history and the current effects of systemic racism runs afoul of existing law.

No, Princeton U. is not "grappling honestly". It is just finding excuses for anti-White racism and defrauding taxpayers.

Update: Princeton has admitted to discrimination:

The bonus for African-American applicants is roughly equivalent to an extra 230 SAT points (on a 1600-point scale), to 185 points for Hispanics, 200 points for athletes, and 160 points for children of alumni. The Asian disadvantage is comparable to a loss of 50 SAT points.

Appalling ignorance of Jewish beliefs

USA Today reports:

Almost two-thirds of millennials and Gen Zers don't know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and almost half can't name a single concentration camp, an alarming new survey on Holocaust knowledge has found.

The survey demonstrated wide gaps in younger American's knowledge of the genocide while also showing a concerning 15% of millennials and Gen Zers thought holding neo-Nazi views was acceptable.

"How much of that is based on genuine understanding of neo-Nazis principles and how much is based on ignorance is hard to tell. Either of them is very disturbing," said Gideon Taylor, president of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, which commissioned the survey. ...

In New York, for example, which ranked among the bottom 10 states in an analysis of Holocaust knowledge, nearly 20% of millennials and Gen Zers incorrectly believe that Jews caused the Holocaust.

That sort of denial and distortion around the causes of the Holocaust "is a form of anti-Semitism," said Gretchen Skidmore, the director of education initiatives for the Levine Family Institute for Holocaust Education at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. ...

Jews and other groups were targeted by the Nazis and their allies on beliefs of perceived racial inferiority.

For more details, see the Guardian and Pew polls.

These surveys are meaningless without some controls, such as asking Americans to find Canada on a map or asking Jews to name some miracles that Jesus Christ performed.

It is odd that the most Jewish state, New York, would score so poorly.

I don't know how anyone would know how many Jews were killed in the Jewish Holocaust, as most European countries have laws against historical treatments that deviate from accepted stories.

The article spreads more misinformation. It is not really true that Jews were targeted for being inferior. That is just Jewish propaganda. You can find out the truth by reading the Wikipedia articles on Jewish Bolshevism and Mein Kampf. I don't want to say it here, because I don't want my blog banned in Europe.

California needs bigger fires, not climate hysteria

The NY Times continues to attack Pres. Trump for being anti-Trump, just because he doesn't go along with their leftist agenda:

As Trump Again Rejects Science, Biden Calls Him a ‘Climate Arsonist’ ...

“If we have four more years of Trump’s climate denial, how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires?” Mr. Biden asked. ...

But Wade Crowfoot, California’s secretary for natural resources, pressed Mr. Trump more bluntly. “If we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think it’s all about vegetation management, we’re not going to succeed together protecting Californians,” he told the president.

This time, Mr. Trump rejected the premise. “It’ll start getting cooler,” he insisted. “You just watch.”

“I wish science agreed with you,” Mr. Crowfoot replied.

“Well, I don’t think science knows, actually,” Mr. Trump retorted, maintaining a tense grin.

Actually, before industrialization and global warming, California had forest fires ten times as big as the worst fires of today. See this:

Academics believe that between 4.4 million and 11.8 million acres burned each year in prehistoric California. Between 1982 and 1998, California’s agency land managers burned, on average, about 30,000 acres a year. Between 1999 and 2017, that number dropped to an annual 13,000 acres. The state passed a few new laws in 2018 designed to facilitate more intentional burning. But few are optimistic this, alone, will lead to significant change. We live with a deathly backlog. In February 2020, Nature Sustainability published this terrifying conclusion: California would need to burn 20 million acres — an area about the size of Maine — to restabilize in terms of fire.

…When I reached Malcolm North, a research ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service who is based in Mammoth, California, and asked if there was any meaningful scientific dissent to the idea that we need to do more controlled burning, he said, “None that I know of.”

I have pointed out that all of Trump's critics show low intelligence, and this is a good example. Another is how they all cite Bob Woodward's new book.

Bob Woodward has a long record of dishonest journalism, and even sounds as if he is mentally retarded. In interviews, he doesn't even make any sense.

Trump's reported interview comments for the book very closely match his public statement. The anti-Trump pundits keeps trying to tell us that there is some contradiction, but they are never able to show us just what the contradiction is. Fauci and the other experts adamantly insist that Trump was conveying the best medical wisdom at all times, and the experts were saying the same things publicly as well.

I am not sure whether Woodward really is mentally retarded, but I don't think it matters. The anti-Trump pundits are presenting falsehoods to voters, and the voters can readily verify that they are false.

Kaepernick was a loser

I get tired of hearing how Colin Kaepernick was blackballed because he is Black. First, he is not Black. His mother was White, and he was adopted by a White couple. Second, he was the worst quarterback in the NFL. In his last season, 2016, his record was 1-10 for the SF 49ers. He then opted out of his contract, and became a free agent. That 49er team won the NFC championship in 2019, and played in the Super Bowl. So he had a terrible record for what was really an excellent team. And he quit. Then he got rich with a far Nike contract, but Nike apparently makes him keep his mouth. When he explains why he refused to stand for the American flag, he says it is to promote Black men killing White cops. He is revolting.

Now the pro leagues have gone crazy with "Black Lives Matter" signs, shown to empty seats. The NFL even has an approved list of Black heros whose names can decorate helmets. Names like George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Emmet Till. In other words, they are glorifying criminal behavior and resisting arrest.

Sullivan in line to get canceled again

I mentioned that Andrew Sullivan got canceled for a 25-year-old review of a book saying that some people are smarter than others. Not that he is on his own, he has defended himself, and doubled-down with

another review of such a book:

The very American cult of education is supposed to end this injustice — except that it doesn’t, because it can’t, and its brutal logic actually exposes and entrenches the least defensible inequality of all, the inequality of nature.

This genetic reality — in fact, the very idea of nature existing at all — is currently a taboo topic on the left. In the most ludicrously untrue and yet suffocatingly omnipresent orthodoxy of our time, critical theory leftists insist that everything on earth is entirely socially constructed, that all inequality is a function of “oppressive systems”, and that human nature itself is what John Locke called a “white paper, void of all characters” — the famous blank slate. Freddie begs to differ: “Human behavioral traits, such as IQ, are profoundly shaped by genetic parentage, and this genetic influence plays a larger role in determining human outcomes than the family and home environment.”

People are not just born unequally and unfairly into class, and culture, and place, they are inherently unequal in various ways in their very nature: “not everyone has the same ability to do calculus; not everyone has the same grasp of grammar and mechanics … we can continue to beat our heads against the wall, trying to force an equality that just won’t come. Or we can face facts and start to grapple with a world where everyone simply can’t be made equal.” ...

In fact, mass education appears to have increased the gulf between rich and poor. As Freddie notes, “education is not a weapon against inequality; it is an engine of inequality.”  ...

So why is the difference between these “racial” groups so great and seemingly stable, even if there is more variability within any such group than between any? Freddie notes that “if the average white student sits at 50 percent of all students at a given academic task, the average black student lies somewhere between 15 and 30 percent,” which is not a minor difference. DeBoer doesn’t explain it as a factor of class — he notes the IQ racial gap persists even when removing socio-economic status from the equation. Nor does he ascribe it to differences in family structure — because parenting is not that important.

There are genetic explanations, as well as some possible non-genetic factors.

None of this is particular controversial among serious scholars. Most refuse to say it out of fear of getting canceled, but the denials are silly.

Sullivan has said many more controversial things. He was a big promoter of the Iraq War and same-sex marriage.

Whites demoted to being non-POCs

It appears that universities have gotten interested in Whites-only meetings.

The London Daily Mail reports, based on an AP story:

University apologizes after setting up segregated online 'cafes' - one for white people and other for people of color - in a 'bid to promote discussions about race and diversity'

The University of Michigan-Dearborn created segregated online 'cafes', with one for white people and the other for black, indigenous and people of color The initiative was meant to promote discussions about race and diversity, and help students 'process current events' Critics labeled the initiative as divisive and argued that safe spaces were typically created for marginalized groups UM-Dearborn apologized in a statement and said the events were not meant to be exclusionary for individuals of a certain race

The University of Michigan-Dearborn issued an apology Wednesday for creating segregated online student 'cafes,' one for white people and another for people of color, that it says were intended to promote discussions about race and diversity.

A statement by the university near Detroit came after two virtual 'cafe' events were held Tuesday, with one advertised as a 'non-POC Cafe' for non-people of color to 'gather and discuss their experience as students on campus and as non-POC in the world.'

The other, dubbed 'BIOPIC Cafe' was for Black, Indigenous and People of Color, and described as a space for 'marginalized racial/ethnic/cultural communities to gather and to relate with one another to discuss their experience as students on campus' and in the world.

The use of language here is curious. While the AP and NY Times have demoted White people into being lower-case whites (and the Wash. Post uses both cases), Michigan is further demoting them to being non-POCs, and sending them to the back of the bus with the zoom meetings.

Soon I expect liberal Whites to be identifying themselves as non-POCs, because the word White suggests White supremacy, and they want to signal their inferior status.

I wonder if the term non-POC is designed to an insult derived from NPC, a gamer term for a non-player character. Wikipedia defines it as "an Internet meme that represents people who do not think for themselves or do not make their own decisions". At one point, Twitter banned accounts using NPC memes to mock White liberal slogans.

Manplaining is as venerable as the Patriarchy

A NY Times op-ed

complains:

Yes, we’re talking about mansplaining.

The portmanteau describes the act of a man’s unsolicited explaining, generally to a woman, something he thinks he knows more about than she does — occasionally at anesthetizing length — whether he knows anything or not. ...

Kate Manne, an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell University, explores the issue in a chapter of her new book, “Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women.” On a recent call from her home in upstate New York, where she lives with her husband, their 8-month-old and a corgi, she unpacked the problem.

How did we arrive at the idea that men are the authorities of knowledge?

Mansplaining may be recently named, but it’s most likely a phenomenon as old as time. Inherent in patriarchy is men’s entitlement to all valuable human goods: things like love, care, adoration, sex, power — and knowledge. When it comes to knowledge, especially of a prestigious sort, the idea that men have a prior claim to it is as venerable as the patriarchy itself. Sometimes it’s connected to the idea that women are incapable of being authority figures. In “Politics,” for example, Aristotle wrote: “The slave is wholly lacking the deliberative element; the female has it but it lacks authority.”

Think about all the coherent explanations that you have gotten in your life, whether from teachers, textbooks, colleagues, friends, or whatever. How many were from men? 90%? 99%? Men have been authorities of knowledge since the beginning of civilization.

Orthodox Jews see SPLC as a Hate Group

I have criticized Jewish organizations for their anti-Trump and anti-American activities, but the Orthodox Jews do not necessarily speak with that same one voice that the non-orthodox Jews do, as shown by this:

Last week, a coalition of 100 Orthodox Jewish rabbis sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, warning that Amazon Smile relies on a deceptive and dangerous “hate map” to exclude mainstream conservative and Christian organizations from the company’s charity program. They insisted that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) actually makes America more dangerous for the Jewish community by downplaying the very real threat of radical Islamic organizations connected to terrorist groups. “We represent Jewish rabbinic leaders in synagogues, schools and rabbinical seminaries across the United States,” the rabbis with the Coalition of Jewish Values (CJV) wrote in a letter first published by Fox News. “We write to highlight the fact that the SPLC ‘hate map’ is uniquely detrimental and even dangerous to the Jewish community, and to urge you directly to terminate the association of your generous AmazonSmile charity-support program with the SPLC and its ‘hate map.'”

The rabbis condemned the SPLC’s list of “hate groups” as “unfair, unreasonable, and biased.” Indeed, the SPLC routinely brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups,” including them on a list with the Ku Klux Klan.

“While the SPLC is careful not to denigrate the Bible or other religious texts directly, it frequently vilifies groups based upon nothing more than their advocacy for biblically based beliefs about sexual and family ethics that were uncontroversial a generation or two ago,” they noted. “Notably, groups which falsely paint others as ‘homophobic,’ ‘transphobic,’ and ‘bigoted’ simply for retaining traditional beliefs are not categorized as hateful by the SPLC.”

The SPLC also overlooks “groups which ally with international terror organizations, openly glorify murder under the guise of ‘resistance,’ and frequently descend into clearly anti-Semitic expression,” the rabbis warned. “The SPLC specifically avoids identifying radical Islamic groups as the leading source of modern-day anti-Semitic violence.”

The SPLC is largely a Jewish controlled and funded hate organization that raises millions of dollars to accuse non-Jews of being anti-Semitic. I am glad to see the Orthodox Jews call it out for what it is.

None of the riots from white supremacists

The NY Times reports:

Top officials with the Department of Homeland Security directed agency analysts to downplay threats from violent white supremacy and Russian election interference, a Homeland Security official said in a whistle-blower complaint released on Wednesday.

The DHS should downplay those supposed threats, because they are hoaxes. This follows this Politico story:

White supremacists present the gravest terror threat to the United States, according to a draft report from the Department of Homeland Security.

Two later draft versions of the same document — all of which were reviewed by POLITICO — describe the threat from white supremacists in slightly different language. But all three drafts describe the threat from white supremacists as the deadliest domestic terror threat facing the U.S., listed above the immediate danger from foreign terrorist groups.

Since the death of George Floyd, there have been 617 violent riots, and all of them were led by BLM, Antifa, and other leftist groups. None were started by White supremacists or right-wingers.

Of the foreign-influenced 2016 campaign expeditures, something like 0.01% was attributed to the Russians. It was trivial. It only gets mentioned as an excuse for Hillary Clinton losing.

I have never even heard about any crimes committed by White supremacists in the last 50 years. That is, under any reasonable definition. If you use the White Fragility definition of White supremacy, then all Whites are innately White supremacists, and all White crimes are then White supremacist crimes.

In any case, the rate of violent crimes by non-whites far exceeds that of Whites.

A recent paper says:

Most Republicans in a January 2020 survey agreed that “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.” More than 40% agreed that “a time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands.” (In both cases, most of the rest said they were unsure; only one in four or five disagreed.) ...

The frailty of public commitment to democratic norms in the contemporary United States is illustrated ...

I think it is clear that democracy is not the highest principle for most people. The USA is a republic, not a democracy. If 51% of the people suddenly go mad and want race riots, then the other 49% may still want peace and prosperity.

Meanwhile, the press is blaming Pres. Trump for this, as reported by NBC News:

President Donald Trump told the journalist Bob Woodward that he does not believe that because of his privileged upbringing he has a responsibility to understand the "anger and pain" felt by Black Americans, according to a new book by Woodward. ... "Do you have any sense that that privilege has isolated and put you in a cave to a certain extent, as it put me and I think lots of white privileged people in a cave and that we have to work our way out of it to understand the anger and the pain, particularly, Black people feel in this country?" Woodward asked. "No," Trump responded. "You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn't you? Just listen to you. Wow. No, I don't feel that at all."

No, Trump did not say that he did not have a responsibility to understand anything. Woodward said that he feels that his white privilege has put him in a cave that he has to work his way out of. Trump is correct that Woodward was talking like a madman following crazy orders. Of course Trump doesn't feel as if he has to work his way out of a cave. No sane person does.

Woodward asked Trump whether he thinks there is "systemic or institutional racism in this country." "Well, I think there is everywhere," Trump said, according to an audio clip. "I think probably less here than most places. Or less here than many places." "OK. But is it here? In a way that it has an impact on peoples' lives?" Woodward asked. "I think it is. And it's unfortunate. But I think it is," Trump responded.

So Trump was nto denying that racism exists, although he is correct that there is less racism in the USA than most of the world. As usual, the press picks Trump quotes out of context to try to make him look bad, but when we see the full quote, Trump appears to be the last sane man left.

Americans are WEIRD, and proud of it

Alex Mackiel writes in Quillette:

The target of the weird label was Western people. More specifically, Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic, or WEIRD. 

WEIRD was not meant as a pejorative, but as an apt description of this group of psychologically peculiar people, who are distinct from the majority of humanity both now and throughout human history. 

Indeed, WEIRD individuals are psychologically peculiar in a number of ways. For instance, if asked the question, “Who are you?” WEIRD people are more likely to describe themselves in terms of their skills, occupation, achievements, and talents rather than by their relationships — they are “a doctor,” “hardworking,” or “a pianist” rather than “Alex’s son” or “Clara’s boyfriend.” Additionally, when judging others, they are typically more likely to assign responsibility to personal characteristics rather than external circumstances. For instance, they are likely to assume that the guy driving recklessly ahead of them on the highway is a complete idiot and terrible driver rather than a worried son rushing his father to the nearest emergency room. While WEIRD people are more individualistic, self-centered, impersonally prosocial, guilt-ridden, and analytical, many non-WEIRD people, from the Chinese to the Ju/’hoansi of the Kalahari Desert, display opposite psychological trends. Non-WEIRD people tend to be more collectivistic, other-focused, more partial to their in-groups, shame-ridden, and holistic thinkers.

The central argument of Henrich and his collaborators is that there has been and continues to be an over-reliance on WEIRD samples in research.

That's right. The WEIRD folks are unlikely to describe themselves as normal White Christian Americans, which is what they really are.
They are also unlikely to realize how different the folks from the rest of the world are. Even when immigrants come to America and their kids grow up in American, they still usually retain these non-WEIRD differences.

Henrich takes this approach especially when he argues that the origins of WEIRD psychology began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of the branch of Christianity that later evolved into the Roman Catholic Church, which he calls the “Western Church.” During the period between about 400 and 1200 CE, the Western Church began gradually dismantling intensive kin-based institutions such as clans, kindreds, and segmentary lineages, which were typical of most human societies then and throughout human history. With the disbanding of these institutions came the outlawing of norms associated with them such as polygamy and cousin marriage. The Western Church began promulgating a new set of prescriptions dealing with marriage, family, identity, and inheritance, which Henrich collectively refers to as the Marriage and Family Program (MFP). The MFP inadvertently encouraged the creation of associations such as guilds, universities, and confraternities, which bound people together based on shared interests, beliefs, and skills, rather than kinship ties.

Henrich argues that the rise of these more non-relational institutions in Europe created a novel environment to which these populations psychologically adapted. This cultural adaptation strongly influenced the psychology typical of WEIRD people today.

Right again. Everybody knows about the influence of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and about the European Rennaissance, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution. These things shaped Western Civilization as we know it. But perhaps just as important were the developments in Northwestern Europe from 400 to 1200 AD. They made the modern world possible.

How the news media troll us

I found this anonymous comment:

Scott, when you see derisive, gatekeeping posts from the left, please keep in mind that some percentage of them are Russian trolls. A lot of us forget that foreign propaganda is present on both sides of the political spectrum, seeking to stoke our hatred of each other, divide us, and generally set Americans at each other’s throats. No matter what you do or say, some percentage of online discourse will always tell you you’re evil because it’s not trying to have an honest intellectual exchange.

Many others have said similar things.

This is a good description of the NY Times, and other Jewish news media. At every opportunity, they stoke racial and other hatred, and do everything to divide us. The NY Times does with a dozen articles every single day.

I mentioned yesterday that 627 Jewish groups placed a full-page ad in the NY Times saying that all American Jews speak with one voice on certain social matters. The sponsor bragged that not one of them requested a single edit to the ad statement.

This is interesting because the short statement has several parts that are controversial among non-Jews. It (1) falsely claims George Floyd and others were murdered; (2) is anti-Trump without mentioning Trump's name; and (3) is openly pro-Communist. It babbles about communist Jews and falsely attacks the "pro-segregation organizations like the John Birch Society".

The JBS was anti-Communist, but not pro-segregation. Only Communist Jews says such silly stuff. If Jewish groups really just wanted to make an anti-racism statement, why bring up some decades-old phony arguments in favor of Communism?

I don't see any explanation, except that all these Jewish groups want to present a unified view that their attitude towards racial division is to follow the Communist playbook, and to stir up racial hatreds towards White Christians as much as possible.

I will be on the lookout for any Jewish groups who dissent from this plan.

Today, the NY Times has a silly article blaming Pres. Trump for identity politics. The Democrat Party is all identity politics all the time. Trump stands firmly against this use of identity politics to divide voters. As the article concedes, Trump is the one who issued an order for the federal govt to stop using racially divisive training seminars that demonize particular races. The Democrats, Jews, NY Times, and Communists are all in favor of such nonsense. (Actually, some Marxists are even against it.)

Leftists try to block funds for boy

Wash. Times reports:

GoFundMe confirmed Thursday it removed fundraisers created on its site in support of Kyle Rittenhouse, a teen arrested for murder following a deadly shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. ...

A campaign for Mr. Rittenhouse created on rival crowdfunding site Fundly raised more than $50,000 within several hours Wednesday, meanwhile, but subsequently disappeared as well.

Here is his statement. He appears to be innocent.

The bias against the teen is not just at funding sites. All of the mainstream media is naming him, even tho they do not usually name a 17-year-old boy. There is a leftist war on American society.

Meanwhile, there is a GoFundMe page for Joseph Rosenbaum. See this article for what a horrible person he was. This says that he was from a non-practicing Jewish family, although it doesn't explain why he would attend a BLM rally and shout anti-Black racial slurs.

I am not sure what the point is in saying that Rosenbaum was from a non-praciticing Jewish family. The NY Times, CNN, and much of the news media is run by non-practicing Jews. The orthodox Jews don't go around rioting and trying to destabilize civilization, as far as I know. George Soros is a non-practicing Jew.

The Times of Israel reports:

Over 600 Jewish organizations, representing the majority of American Jews, signed a letter in support of the Black Lives Matter movement that was published in a full-page New York Times ad on Friday. ... The 627 groups that signed the letter included the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist denominational movements, which make up 35 percent, 18% and 1% of American Jewry, respectively, according to a 2013 Pew Research Center study.

The list also includes several Orthodox groups such as the Uri L’Tzedek social justice organization and Yaffed, an advocacy group that seeks to improve secular education in Hasidic schools. The 627 groups that signed the letter included the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist denominational movements, which make up 35 percent, 18% and 1% of American Jewry, respectively, according to a 2013 Pew Research Center study.

The list also includes several Orthodox groups such as the Uri L’Tzedek social justice organization and Yaffed, an advocacy group that seeks to improve secular education in Hasidic schools.

I guess some orthodox groups did not sign. The point of the ad is to say that Jews "speak with one voice" on matters such as claiming that the police murdered George Floyd, and accusing non-Jewish Whites of systemic racism.

A group of Jewish activists penned the letter and first posted it on the publishing platform Medium on June 25, against the backdrop of nationwide protests that erupted following the police killing of George Floyd in late May.

It garnered the backing of over 400 organizations within its first 48 hours, according to Audrey Sasson, the executive director of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.

“We were starting to see the far-right concoct conspiracy theories that Black Lives Matter was being manipulated by Globalists and Marxists in an anti-Semitic attempt to undermine the Black-led movement,” Sasson said. “This brought an opportunity to unequivocally state as a large swath of Jewish community organizations that we stand behind Black Lives Matter and that any attempt to divide that movement will not land.”

Okay, it is anti-Semitic to say that BLM is being manipulated by Globalist and Marxist Jews, because it is actually being manipulated by a large swath of Jewish groups.

Nixon-Kissinger on East Indians

The NY Times has published a bizarre conspiracy theory that the USA did not declare war against India in 1971 because the personal prejudices of Pres. Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger:

“Undoubtedly the most unattractive women in the world are the Indian women,” said Mr. Nixon. “Undoubtedly,” he repeated, with a venomous tone.

He continued, “The most sexless, nothing, these people. I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch.” ...

“They turn me off. They are repulsive and it’s just easy to be tough with them.” ... “I don’t know how they reproduce!” ...

In reply, Mr. Kissinger sweepingly explained: “They are superb flatterers, Mr. President. They are masters at flattery. They are masters at subtle flattery. That’s how they survived 600 years. They suck up — their great skill is to suck up to people in key positions.” ...

“I tell you, the Pakistanis are fine people, but they are primitive in their mental structure.” He added, “They just don’t have the subtlety of the Indians.”

No, we were fighting a Vietnam War, and we were not going to war in India and Pakistan over matters that could never be resolved. Islam and Hindu are incompatible religions. Islam teaches jihad against infidels.

The article doesn't say anything about whether the judgments about Indians and Pakistanis were correct.

The Election IQ Gap

Republican voters have had higher average IQs and education levels than Democrat voters for decades. Democrats get the support of the super-rich and the poor, and there are a lot more poor voters.

This year, we see something different. It used to be easy to find intellectuals on both sides giving coherent policy reasons for their vote. Now I cannot find any intellectual coherent support for Biden-Harris at all.

Sure, there are well educated pundits who strongly favor ousting Pres. Trump. But they all say crazy stupid things.

Examples: They say that the videos prove system racist caused the murders of George Floyd and Jacob Blake. They attribute quotes to Trump that can be disproved with about 30 seconds of googling. They blame Trump for 200k COVID-19 deaths while they never suggest how he could do any better. They engage in childish name-calling and hyperbolic accusations.

I posted yesterday from the Princeton University president, and his comments are just embarrassingly stupid. This is in spite of the fact that his letter was review by 20 Ivy League PhDs before releasing it.

Most of these people cannot really be that stupid. So they are just lying to us, assuming that most readers will be too stupid to notice. Or too intimidated to object. Or too ideologically driven, I am not sure.

I see 81 American Nobel prize winners endorse Biden. No substantive reason is given. If they are really so smart, couldn't they think of a reason better than "willingness to listen to experts"?

Princeton become Hate-Whitey-U

Princeton University announces:

President Christopher L. Eisgruber has written to the University community to outline the next steps the University administration will take to address systemic racism at Princeton and beyond ... 

My Cabinet colleagues and I began our work early in the summer as people throughout America and around the world protested the cruel and unjust killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Rayshard Brooks. 

As the Cabinet gathered last week to discuss preliminary recommendations, the nation reeled once more after a Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back. This outrageous and awful violence has revealed yet again, and with searing intensity, the long, painful, and ongoing existence of anti-Black racism in America. Racial justice demands the scholarly and practical attention of this University.

If he really meant that, then he would commission a scholarly examination of how Floyd, Blake, and the others died. No, he does not do that. He is being thoroughly dishonest.

He is taking the side of violent criminals who tried to kill cops.

Racist assumptions from the past also remain embedded in structures of the University itself. For example, Princeton inherits from earlier generations at least nine departments and programs organized around European languages and culture, but only a single, relatively small program in African studies.

That would be a about right, if African languages and culture were 1/9 as significant as European. A more accurate figure is about 0.00001%. Hardly anything important has ever come out of Africa. Ancient Egypt accomplished a lot, but I am pretty sure that Princeton's program in African studies is about Black Africa, and not ancient Egypt.

To that end, we will undertake enhanced efforts to expand diversity of the faculty pipeline, and aspire to increase by 50 percent the number of tenured or tenure-track faculty members from underrepresented groups over the next five years.

The Princeton math faculty is already 85% foreigners. Hiring underrepresented groups would be hiring American Whites. But of course they will not be doing that.

Andrew Sullivan canceled for giving two sides of IQ

A lot of people thought that New York magazine fired Andrew Sullivan after killing a politically incorrect article he wrote on Georpe Floyd. But no, the NY Times explains, it wasn't that at all. He was canceled for some article written by someone else for some other magazine 26 years ago:

I’m Still Reading Andrew Sullivan. But I Can’t Defend Him.

He’s one of the most influential journalists of the last three decades, but he’s shadowed by a 1994 magazine cover story that claimed to show a link between race and I.Q. ...

The flap reminded his colleagues and critics of Mr. Sullivan’s original sin, his decision to put on the cover of the Oct. 31, 1994, New Republic a package titled “Race and I.Q.” The package led with an excerpt from the book “The Bell Curve” by the political scientist Charles Murray and psychologist Richard Herrnstein. They claimed that I.Q. test results are in large part hereditary and reveal differences among races;

Sullivan was the editor, and he also published about about dozen essays trashing the book.

The book was a hot issue of the day, Sullivan probably thought that he was doing a public service by providing multiple views. It is not clear whether he has any personal opinion on the subject.

I guess the problem with presenting both sides is that the evidence for one side is overwhelming. Regarding the above claims, all the studies show that IQ is heritable, and that IQ tests show racial differences. The above claims are literally true.

By showing racial differences, I mean that IQ scores vary among different races. There is some debate about whether those IQ test differences are due to inherited differences between the races. That would not necessarily follow from the above Murray-Herrnstein claims. That is, maybe IQ is heritable among Whites, and heritable among Blacks, but Blacks score lower on IQ tests because they attend worse schools. I am sure other explanations have been given also.

The point is that allowing a wide-ranging discussion of this issue is no longer permitted. You cannot publish data and evidence on the issue. If you try, the cancel culture mob will still be coming after you with pitchforks 26 years later.

A young person today would have a hard time finding the truth on this subject. He might wonder why no one wants to talk about. Probably no one will even tell him why the subject is forbidden.

What is wrong with young white women

The Daily Stormer is the most politically censored site on the internet, as people are offended by funny rants such as this:

We now have in the West an entire class of childless women who are past the age of attractiveness or healthy childbearing who spend their lives attacking white men, all of whom they view as stand-ins for their fathers. You see, little children view their father as a godlike entity. For boys, this goes away sometime around puberty, and as you age, any anger you have toward your father for not living up to his role as a godlike deity dissipates as you start to be able to grasp what he was going through, and say, “yeah, he was dealing with some shit for sure, I can feel that.” Female humans never really grow into adults, they just grow tits. They are also completely self-centered and believe the universe revolves around them. So the woman never passes the exits of development wherein she views her father as the prime deity of her universe. Thus, it is her father’s fault that she is so unhappy. And that is the primary characteristic of these women, aside from viciousness: deep, bitter, angry unhappiness. Because every white man is her father, they all deserve to suffer, to be humiliated, to be crushed. After all, a real god would have made her happy.

These childless women are the absolute epitome of “worthless human beings,” in that the purpose of a woman is to produce children and everything else that they do was simply tolerated throughout history because they had that ability.

The language is a little offensive, but there is some wisdom in the essay. Too bad the site is not more widely available.

The site posted a followup.

Fred Reed also has an offensive rant: The deadliest question is how to accommodate blacks. One mustn’t say what everyone knows, that blacks are the least educable, least productive, most criminal, most violent, most dependent, and least assimilable of the population. If anything can be done about any of these, it won’t be, because no one is permitted to name the problem. No one is in charge.

As whites lose economic ground they will be less willing to pay for welfare, food stamps, free housing, and other charity. When a pie shrinks, someone will get less pie and, if the pie shrinks a great deal, some will get almost no pie. Meanwhile, gun sales are way up. uote>Hoo-boy. She’s ready to explode, go high order. Smoking ruins, dead bodies, seething hatreds, and a country that can’t be put back together. It may not happen, but she looks ready.

No one is in charge in this collapsing shell game of a country. ...

There is no leadership, no one in charge. In Trump we have perhaps the weakest President in history, mouthy, preening, ineffectual, much talk and no action. He did nothing while the rioters looted, burned, and vandalized, then disengaged himself from the pandemic, leaving decisions to the states. Much cawing and gaudy feathers, but no bird inside.

Congress does nothing, one parry neutering the other and all bought and paid for by special interests, by Wall Street and the arms makers and the big corporations. Local governments submit to the rioters or stand aside as the burning goes on. This is not society. It is chaos. ...

The media encourage the rioters, inflame passions either deliberately or through partisanship. ...

The deadliest question is how to accommodate blacks. One mustn’t say what everyone knows, that blacks are the least educable, least productive, most criminal, most violent, most dependent, and least assimilable of the population. If anything can be done about any of these, it won’t be, because no one is permitted to name the problem. No one is in charge.

As whites lose economic ground they will be less willing to pay for welfare, food stamps, free housing, and other charity. When a pie shrinks, someone will get less pie and, if the pie shrinks a great deal, some will get almost no pie. Meanwhile, gun sales are way up. ...

Here we come to the joys of diversity. Cultures can be too different to live together. Whites and blacks have almost no common ground, little common history. Whites trace their history back to well before the ancient Greeks, through Rome, the Renaissance, Europe. Blacks had no part in this and, it seems, have no interest in it. Aristotle? Thomas Jefferson? Einstein? Madame Butterfly? Galois? FORTRAN? These might all have come from some remote galactic civilization.

There is no agreement, anywhere, at any level, over anything. ...

Nothing holds the country together. There is no social glue, no dominant culture. We have no shared history, language, dialect, ethnicity, or religion. Diversity turns the country into rubble.

Diversity? It is the end of America. The country once was overwhelmingly white, European, Anglophone, and Christian. It worked, as approximate monocultures usually do. No longer. The North hates—the word is not too strong—the South and seeks to erase its culture and uniqueness. The Bible Belt is intensely Christian while the northern elites, heavily Jewish, seek to suppress Christianity. The coastal elites hold the central deplorables in contempt. Blacks hate whites. Feminists hate men. I just do not see any likely scenario in which the current issues will get resolved peacefully.

Trump is censored for retweeting CDC data

I posted last week some updated CDC data on COVID-19, and noted that a 6% figure stuck out to me. Now Pres. Trump has been censored for saying essentially the same thing.

CNN TV reports:

Twitter on Sunday took down a tweet containing a false claim about coronavirus death statistics that was made by a supporter of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory -- a post that President Donald Trump had retweeted earlier in the day.

The tweet -- which has been replaced with a message saying, "This Tweet is no longer available because it violated the Twitter Rules -- from "Mel Q," copied from someone else's Facebook post, claimed that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had "quietly" updated its numbers "to admit that only 6%" of people listed as coronavirus deaths "actually died from Covid," since "the other 94% had 2-3 other serious illnesses."

That's not what the CDC said. ...

The CDC's latest regular update to a public statistics page on the pandemic -- there was nothing especially "quiet" about it -- said that for 6% of the deaths included in its statistics, "Covid-19 was the only cause mentioned" on the deceased person's death certificate.

That is not at all the same thing as saying only 6% of reported Covid-19 deaths "actually died" from Covid-19. It simply means that the other 94% were listed as having at least one additional factor contributing to their death.

No, I am not "Mel Q", and I don't know whether Mel Q reads my blog. You

Twitter, CNN, and everyone else in the mainstream media say that our claim is false. But my blog, Mel Q, and Trump's retweet explicitly and accurately explained the meaning of the 6%, and that the other 94% of reported COVID-19 deaths had additional causes. We even quoted and linked to the CDC web page, so anyone can verify the claim for himself.

I guess Twitter and the others are pretending that they are doing a public service by scaring the people into thinking COVID-19 is more dangerous than it is, so that they will be more cautious. But it is a facts that the deaths are almost entirely elderly folks with multiple other co-morbidities. The CDC explains this on their web pages, buried in their medical data. It is no secret, and it ought to be more widely disseminated, so that everyone understands who is at greatest risk.

For Twitter, CNN, and everyone else to make an issue out of this just shows their extreme bias, and their willingness to lie about the virus to manipulate public opinion.

Biden-Harris are a threat to this nation

Jean Guerrero, author of a book on how much she hates White people, writes this NY Times op-ed

Over the past week, the Republican National Convention sought to conjure a “radical left” hellscape.

Speakers conflated anti-racist protesters with deranged criminals out to destroy the country. Donald Trump Jr. called Joe Biden “the Loch Ness monster,” while the conservative activist Charlie Kirk praised Donald Trump as “the bodyguard of Western civilization.” In his speech on Thursday, the president denounced “mob rule.” “Your vote will decide whether we protect law-abiding Americans, or whether we give free rein to violent anarchists and agitators, and criminals who threaten our citizens,” he said.

The language at the convention comes from the “white genocide” conspiracy theory, which warns, among other things, that brown and Black people will destroy white civilization with the help of their anti-racist allies. It echoed that of the racist-dystopian novel “The Camp of the Saints,”

All that is mostly correct. This November election is between Trump protecting Western civilization and law-abiding Americans, and Biden-Harris and other Democrats who openly support destructive criminals.

In July, Mr. Miller told Tucker Carlson that the federal crackdown on anti-racist protesters in Portland, Ore., was about “the survival of this country.” In an interview with the radio host Larry O’Connor that month, he said the priority of the administration was protecting America from the dangers of “cancel culture,” which he described as “a very grave threat to American freedom.”

Calling them "anti-racist protesters" is inaccurate. There are no racists in Portland being protested. They are just rioters and criminals.

The Trump campaign’s strategy is to cast the president’s opponents as an existential threat to the nation.

They are an existential threat to this nation. They are openly trying to destroy it.

The term “cancel culture,” used throughout the Republican convention, lumps together and demonizes critics of white male supremacy, in an attempt to silence them. The use of the term in this context allows the far right to dictate the terms of the conversation, as does the news media’s reluctance to call Mr. Trump and his chief adviser what they are ...

Now this is just lunacy. No critics of white male supremacy have been silenced. It is the Left that has been systematically getting people fired, ostracized, and de-platformed for expressing right-wing political views. No left-wingers are being canceled, unless you count left-wing feminists who do not fully accept the transsexual agenda.

This obsession with the supposed dangers of people of color, particularly immigrants or left-wing extremists, ignores reality. Right-wing extremists have committed the most terrorist attacks in the United States since the 1990s.

Officials say that a 17-year-old named Kyle Rittenhouse opened fire on people during a protest in Kenosha, Wis., on Tuesday, killing two and wounding a third.

No, Rittenhouse is not a right-wing extremist. More and more, it appears that he fired on an angry mob of criminals who were trying to kill him. The NY Times should not even be publishing his name, since he is a juvenile.

Rittenhouse may well go to jail, and I am not saying that all of his shots were justifiable. We do not have enough info here. But the larger picture here is that Jacob Blake was resisting a legitimate arrest, and provoked the police into using a forceful response. Democrat politicians, from Kenosha officials to the governor to Joe Biden, encouraged the riots. Rittenhouse was just trying to help maintain order, because the police were not doing their jobs.

“Trump knows that if we find real solidarity, it’s a wrap,” said Aida Rodriguez, an Afro-Latina activist. “We’re all waking up to it, and you’re going to see it in November.” These alliances are a real-life manifestation of the mob of Mr. Miller’s nightmares.

She finally agrees that if the anti-Whites gang up on the Whites, it will be a nightmare for Whites, just as some Trump supporters have predicted.

Just to be clear, I am not encouraging anyone to take guns to riot scenes. That is foolishness. We need to vote for elected officials who will use police to restore order.

Update: As proof of right-wingers not having the ability to cancel anyone, consider the new book title "In Defense of Looting". It was favorably reviewed on the NPR site. See some criticism here. It is every bit as bad as it sounds. The author is a man named Willie Osterweil who published the book under the name Vicky Osterweil. The book advocates illegal violence against peaceful innocents, but it is selling well on Amazon. Not cancelled.

Update: AmRen lists numerous additional NY Times errors.

Apple computer company joins the Black racism

The Apple CEO tweeted:

We stand with those who refuse to accept the status quo. The WNBA, NBA, and all of those who will not tolerate another Jacob Blake. Another Emmett Till. We must do better — lives depend on it. — Tim Cook (@tim_cook) August 28, 2020

Till died in 1955. Kamala Harris and others are tweeting about Blake and Till also. It is funny how they celebrate basketball players who identify with Black criminals who resist arrest. This Kenosha incident makes me think we are headed towards Civil War 2.0. Kenosha is an ordinary midwestern town, with about 10% Blacks. It is Middle America. If it can be destroyed by race riots, then no Middle American town is safe. It is clear that the Democrats and Blacks have little interest in facts. They did not care about George Floyd's cause of death either. These incidents are just excuses to hate White people. They are out to destroy White civilization.

Professor gets canceled for harmless joke

Inside Higher Ed reports:

A professor of marketing at the University of Missouri at Columbia told students he’d been relieved of his teaching duties after comments he made to a student from Wuhan, China, about the need for a face mask during an online class meeting were widely circulated on social media. ...

The university confirmed that the marketing professor, Joel Poor, remained employed and “has been assigned to other duties.” Missouri referred the incident to its Office for Civil Rights and Title IX, which has opened an investigation.

Some students have called for Poor’s firing, while others have taken to his defense, saying his comments were meant jokingly and there was no malicious intent.

Watch the video. It was obviously a harmless joke. No sane person would take offense to this.

This may seem silly, but it is just another aspect of the civil war that we are degenerating to. Look at Kenosha. It is only about 5% Black, but it now has race riots. A Black man resisted arrest, and got shot. A couple of rioters got shot. I am not sure yet who might have committed crimes, but it is clear that we have a govt that encouraging riots.

I am reserving judgment on Kenosha until more facts are in, but there is a pattern to these stories. Black man with a long criminal history gets arrested again. He resists arrest, and police use necessary force. Antifa types create outrage on social media. Blacks identify with the criminal. Jews dominate the mainstream with talk of racism and White privilege. An investigation shows the Black man was entirely at fault. Jews continue to blame Whites, and Blacks complain about criminals being treated like criminals.

The great pandemic is mostly over

The US CDC released weekly COVID-19 mortality update. There is a lot of data there, but a couple of things stuck out to me. First, there have been no significant excess COVID-19 deaths in any age group for about 3 months. Yes, there are still people dying of the disease, but it is mostly people over age 70, and they are dying at the rate that they would be dying anyway. Second, it says:

For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.

The official US death toll is about 182,000, but that includes deaths with multiple causes. The CDC has data about excess deaths but it is tricky to interpret directly. It uses a model that says deaths should have been going down since Jan. 1, 2020. The current death rate, from all causes, is about the same as what was predicted for Jan. 1, 2020, so the CDC says that there are still excess deaths. It appears to me that the number of deaths that can be fairly attributed to COVID-19 is maybe half the official figure.

Pelosi says all must support Israel

The Hill reports:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Republican National Convention address from Jerusalem “appalling” on Tuesday. The House Speaker told MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that Pompeo’s convention speech, which was pre-recorded in Israel during official diplomatic travel, violated State Department rules for employees not to participate in partisan activities. “Now he's doing just that thing, and then, of course, really sadly, discoloring our bipartisanship in terms of our support for Israel, which has always been bipartisan, and we always want it to be,” she said. “The image is something that's going to say, look at us, we're here in Israel making a speech to the Republican National Convention, violating our values in terms of the bipartisanship and our support for Israel, violating in many ways what he told his own employees,” she added. ... A State Department spokesperson told The Hill on Monday that no department resources would be directed toward Pompeo’s address and no staff have been involved in preparing for the speech.

She is trying to say that the Jews own the Democrat and Republican parties, and she doesn't want to get into a competition over who can be more pro-Israel. This is a sensitive issue for the Democrats because they get 80% of their fund-raising from Jews, but are increasingly dependent on votes from Moslems who hate Jews, and on Leftists who hate Israel. Meanwhile, Trump has been the most pro-Jewish and pro-Israel President in decades.

Yes, disease and death are acceptable

Leftist-atheist-evolutionist Jerry Coyne writes:

Reader Charles called my attention to a CBS/YouGov poll showing the disparity between Republicans and Democrats in whether they see the number of American deaths from coronavirus acceptable or unacceptable. The results were frightening:

Note that the latest toll of Americans killed by coronavirus, reported in the Hili dialogue this morning, is 176,694. That is more than three times the number of Americans killed during the Vietnam War (total 58,220, of which 47,434 were killed in battle). Only 10 % of Democrats find that total acceptable, but 57% of Republicans do, while 90% of Dems find the total unacceptable compared to 43% of Republicans. Two-third of Independents find the total unacceptable, about halfway between Dems and Republicans.

Now it’s not clear what “acceptable” means, but given that quicker and more stringent action would have saved more lives, and that the Trump administration—and a lot of Republican governors—have hardly taken the lead here, I think the objective assessment is “unacceptable”, meaning, “could have been reduced strongly with better action.”

This is a professor who regularly posts about how no one has the free will to anything different from what happens. For example:

I’m a “hard determinist” and get out of bed every day, and I realize that my “agency” is illusory even though I feel that it’s real.

And this:

Sam [Harris] (who does define his terms) is talking about libertarian free will: the mistaken feeling we have that we have agency and could have decided other than how we did. ...

I, of course, accept neither free will in the way Sam construes it, nor the idea that we are “morally responsible” (rather than just “responsible”) for our actions. The word “morally” adds nothing save the misconception that we could have made a choice that was either more or less moral, and that’s not true.

So he firmly believes that neither Pres. Trump nor anyone else had a choice about what to do about the Wuhan coronavirus. The death total could not have been reduced by different policies.

I disagree with Coyne about free will, but I do think that he has put his finger on a big difference between right and left wingers. Right-wingers accept reality. There will be disease and death. Left wingers pretend to live in an imaginary world where people are all equal, kind, healthy, and thinking good thoughts at all times.

Here, Coyne very strongly believes that no one could have chosen a policy to reduce the coronavirus deaths, and yet the deaths are still unacceptable. This is like saying gravity is unacceptable.

Who took over the Democrat Party?

Audacious Epigone writes:

The extent to which the preference of older black Americans override the preferences of the many other factions of the Democrat electoral coalition is difficult to overstate:

It’s not predominantly the party of working people or the party of immigrants or the party of government or the party of peace. More than anything else, it is the black party.

It might seem that way, all the officials talking Black Lives Matter all the time. He gets this response:

Nah, it’s the Jewish party (in reality, both parties are the Jewish party), with blacks simply used as proxies, cat’s-paws, janissaries and biological weapons in the eternal and unceasing war of the Jews against White Europeans and Christendom —...

Blacks are just a handy pocket-knife in this ludicrous and unnecessary struggle. Nobody on earth, no nation, no people, no civilization, actually takes blacks seriously.

The convention talked about Blacks a lot, and didn't mention Jews at all. But I think the commenter is correct. The Democrat Party hardly does anything for Blacks. It is almost entirely financed by Jews and Jewish fund-raising, and promoted by Jewish media. Blacks are not paying the bills or calling the shots.

In one of its regular news stories, not an opinion column, the NY Times reports:

a surprising problem for the president: his struggle to attract and retain a reliable stable of millionaires and billionaires willing to write seven-figure checks, despite his takeover of the Republican Party and a policy agenda that largely serves the interests of America’s ultrawealthy....

But the president’s sagging popularity, driven by his erratic and divisive behavior during the coronavirus crisis, has prompted some of the wealthiest Republicans — the heavy artillery of modern politics — to delay, divert or diminish their giving, just as Joseph R. Biden Jr. has begun to tap a rich vein of Wall Street and Silicon Valley support, party operatives and donors said in interviews.

The NY Times and the rest of the Jewish news media have an obvious anti-Trump bias here, but it admits that Biden is the candidate of the super-rich, and Trump is getting all his support from ordinary middle class Americans.

It is the super-rich who want to replace the American White middle class with cheap foreign labor. They want this for the same reasons that they have wanted to bust the labor unions.

The Democrat Party is not the party of the working man anymore. It is the party of the super-rich, the White-haters, and the welfare class. It has no appeal to anyone else.

As for the Jews, you might point out that neither Biden nor Harris are Jewish. That is correct, but Jews have infiltrated their families. The Jewish Daily Forward reports:

In fact, all three of Biden’s children — Beau and Hunter, his sons with his first wife, Neilia Biden, and Ashley, his daughter with current wife Jill Jacobs biden — married members of the tribe. Here’s a rundown of the Jewish members of the Biden clan. ... Ahead of their wedding, which took place on the roof deck of Cohen’s Los Angeles apartment, Hunter got a bicep tattoo to match one Cohen already had: the word “Shalom,” written in Hebrew letters.

They also explain Harris is married to a Jew:

One evening in November 2017, United States Senator Kamala Harris stood facing Jerusalem’s Western Wall.

It was her third visit to Israel, but the first time she’d come with a special escort: Her husband Doug Emhoff.

Though he is Jewish, Emhoff, then 53, had never visited Israel. So Harris, whom he’d married in 2014, invited him to accompany her on an official congressional delegation organized by the Senate. ...

But when pressed about her son’s Jewish upbringing, she demurred: “We’ve been sworn to secrecy,” she said. “We were told not to talk to anybody.” ...

In 2017, Harris delivered a keynote speech at AIPAC Policy Conference, where she recounted a childhood memory of collecting money for the Jewish National Fund. “I never sold Girl Scout Cookies,” Harris said at AIPAC, “but I raised money to plant trees in Israel.”

More than any other national candidates in recent memory, it is clear that Biden and Harris are just puppets. They have no control over their policy positions, and do not even appear to understand them. They are owned by others.

Update: I see that Richard Spencer and a lot of Deep State warmongers are endorsing Biden. They complain that we didn't go to war in Syria, among other things. The election is really revealing a lot of anti-Americans.
