Derb’s October Diary

31st October 2018

Follow John Derbyshire around while he tries to cope with modern life.

We Badwhites understand perfectly well, in fine detail, what the Goodwhites believe. How could we not? The whole culture is saturated in their Narrative. We only have to pick up a magazine; turn on our TV; go to the movies; call on our kids’ schoolteachers or college instructors, or our pastor, or our company’s HR Director. We shall read (or see, or hear) straight unadulterated Narrative.

Goodwhites, however, have no clue what Badwhites believe. Any thinking outside the Narrative is utterly opaque to them. They never engage with it. They have a sort of comic-book caricature of it in their minds—racists, Nazis, guys with hoods, wife-beaters: supremacy! racial purity! hierarchy! superiority! patriarchy!—but it’s nothing like reality.

Libertarian Drops Out of Montana Senate Race, Endorses Republican

31st October 2018

Read it.

Until now, there has been a libertarian third candidate in the race — Rick Breckenridge. He doesn’t show up in the polls I’ve seen. However, David Parker, an associate professor of political science at Montana State University, says that Breckenridge is polling at about 2 percent.

Breckenridge has said he expects 3 to 4 percent of the vote. In 2012, the Libertarian candidate won more than 6 percent off the vote, aided, some say, by mailers sent by Tester supporters hoping to divide the opposition vote.

Now, Breckenridge has dropped out the race and endorsed Rosendale. He complained about the sending of anti-Rosendale mailers sent anonymously on his behalf — a repeat of the tactic used to help Tester in 2012.

Don’t be fooled by Trump’s caravan rhetoric – it’s much more profitable to incarcerate migrants than to stop them at the border  Don’t be fooled by ‘journalist’ rhetoric — it’s much easier to criticize Trump than think.

Paralysed Walk Again After Electrical Stimulation Regrows Damaged Nerves

31st October 2018

Read it.

Three paraplegics who sustained cervical spinal cord injuries many years ago are now able to walk with the aid of crutches, or a walker, after being fitted with a wireless implant which activates muscles when they think about moving.

Crucially the treatment works even when it is switched off, leading scientists to suspect that their nerves have grown back.

We have the technology.

Civil War on the Left, Part 63: McCaskill Agonistes

31st October 2018

Read it.

For a long time now it has been necessary for Democrats to conceal their real views from voters if they expect to get re-elected. Funny how this happens time and time again. It is failing more of the time in recent years: just ask former Democratic Senators Mark Pryor and Mary Landrieu.

Right now the person who is trying most strenuously to seem like not-a-Democrat is Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill. She’s touted an ad saying she’s not “one of those crazy Democrats.” When asked by Bret Baier at Fox News to identify a “crazy Democrat,” McCaskill named a Missouri state senator, Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who happens to be black, as the old saying goes. Chappelle-Nadal is reported to have said that Donald Trump should be assassinated. (But remember: it is Trump’s violent rhetoric that is the problem today. Rinse and repeat. Get on CNN.)

Why Did Media and Democrats Abandon Their Investigation Into Brett Kavanaugh?

31st October 2018

Read it.

If it was important to investigate the claims because Kavanaugh was up for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, it remains just as important to investigate it now that he’s been confirmed. This would be true even if impeachment were not an option if the allegations were ever substantiated. That impeachment is an option makes the October silence even weirder. Why did media outlets go from hourly updates on this story to dropping it like it’s hot?

Guess it wasn’t working for them.

Kept Men

31st October 2018

ZMan looks at the ‘news’ media.

The media in America has never been objective or bound by a code of conduct. Into the twentieth century, everyone understood that the newspapers were owned by rich guys with an agenda. There were newspapers for the parties and for the factions within each party. What happened in the Cold War is the bias was concealed in an effort to fool the public into supporting the struggle against the Soviets. Suddenly, reporters became journalists and priests.

Why Do We Know Almost Nothing About Pittsburgh Gunman Robert Bowers?

30th October 2018

The Other McCain is not afraid to ask the obvious question.

Maybe the Media are so busy figuring out some way to pin it on Trump that they haven’t any bandwidth left over for actually reporting.

The blankness of Robert Bowers should disturb us. Evidently, any random loner — the quiet, nondescript high-school dropout with no friends or family — could log onto the Internet, find some kind of hate that appeals to him, and become a mass murderer. And in all the world of journalism, nobody except some reporters for the local newspaper will expend any effort to figure out what went wrong in this guy’s life. Why? Because they can explain it all with one word: Trump.

That’s the answer, you see. There is no need to examine Robert Bowers’ biographical background in search of an explanation, because the reasons are ready-made: Trump, and “hate” sites on the Internet.

When Refugees Were Conquerors

David Cole is not impressed.

Ah, the refugee caravan. Would it be a midterm election without a bunch of oppressed brown-skinned asylum seekers storming the border? In a way, these refugees are like cicadas, appearing with clockwork predictability anytime the powers-that-be need a good “humanitarian crisis” to tug on voters’ heartstrings. So now we have the Hondurans…marching toward the border, holding the flag of their native country, demanding political asylum because (according to them) if they were to stay in their native country, they’d be slaughtered by their beloved countrymen. But hey, let’s proudly wave the flag of that native country made up of assholes who want us dead.
