A Global Leader in Obsolete Technology

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg wants to make the United States the “global leader” in high-speed rail. That’s like wanting to be the world leader in electric typewriters, rotary telephones, or steam locomotives, all technologies that were once revolutionary but are functionally obsolete today.

7th February 2021

Maybe this is a trend. I’m sure that there are a number of California, Oregon, and Washington counties that would rather be a part of, say, Nevada or Idaho. Indeed, I rather suspect that the non-coastal counties of California would rather be their own state.

UPDATE: Texas Republicans endorse legislation to allow vote on secession from US  That didn’t work out so well the last time.

Establishing Unity by Executive Order

6th February 2021

Read it.

Franklin Roosevelt with the apparently untouchable achievement of 3,721 executive orders. FDR signed nearly as many executive orders per year that all other presidents averaged over their entire presidencies (many of which were two terms). Interestingly, the executive orders of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson make up 43% of all the executive orders of all of our presidents in history.

Equally interestingly, the tyrant Donald Trump signed 220 executive orders, which is 3,500 less than FDR. Since the year 1900, the only presidents with fewer executive orders than Trump were JFK, Ford, and Bush I. Trump apparently did not like executive orders. Odd behavior for a tyrant. But never mind.

B8ta Closing Another San Francisco Store After Armed Robbery

6th February 2021

Read it.

ust one week after making the decision to close its Union Square store, b8ta CEO Vibhu Norby announced via Twitter on Wednesday that the Hayes Valley store is now closed “indefinitely” as well due to a store manager having a gun pointed at him during a robbery.

“Our story is not exceptional,” Norby said. “I think the city will say it’s a b8ta-specific problem because we have a visible storefront and high-value merchandise, but everybody’s witnessing this.”

He said since his story has been covered in the media, other Hayes Valley merchants have reached out to share stories of their break-ins. Norby said he won’t reopen the store until he sees a month free of break-ins on the block.

The Union Square b8ta store closed last week because there were three muggings on the street it is on this year. “It doesn’t matter how expensive it is,” Norby told SFGATE in January. “We can’t send our employees into a store where there’s even a 2% chance they get mugged.”

The basic problem with Democrats running a city is that they can’t even get right the essential job of a government, protecting the people from harm. They can’t (or won’t) protect them from riots, they can’t protect them from crazy people wandering the streets, and (appently) they can’t protect them from violent crime.

B8ta has stores around the globe, and Norby told SFGATE last month that the crime in San Francisco is unlike anything the company experiences elsewhere. “This actually doesn’t happen anywhere else in the country,” he said. “We have 17 other stores, including three internationally. This just doesn’t happen anywhere else. It’s only here.”

AOC’s Fake Victimhood Narrative

4th February 2021

The Other McCain surveys the swamp.

Journalists who actually bothered to check the facts — there are precious few of those in D.C. nowadays — pointed out that Ocasio-Cortez’s office is not in the Capitol building, which was stormed by a mob of Trump supporters Jan. 6. Instead, her office is in the Cannon House Office Building, on the south side of Independence Avenue, across from the Capitol. None of the rioters ever entered the building where AOC was in her office, cowering in her bathroom and allegedly fearing for her life.

Biden DoJ Dismisses Discrimination Suit Against Yale

3rd February 2021

Read it.

As expected, the Justice Department, now under the control of Joe Biden, has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against Yale for discriminating against Whites and Asian Americans on the basis of their race. I wrote about that suit here and here.

The Justice Department’s complaint demonstrates the magnitude of Yale’s race-based disfavoring of Whites and Asians. According to the complaint, which is based on the DOJ’s lengthy investigation of Yale’s undergraduate admissions process, Blacks in the tenth decile (the top one) are admitted to Yale at a rate of 60 percent. By contrast, Whites are admitted at a rate of 20 percent and Asians at a rate of only 14 percent.

Because Yale is a highly selective college, few applicants of any race or ethnicity are admitted from the third decile or below. However, in the fourth decile, Blacks are admitted at a rate of 12 percent — about the same rate at which Asians in the tenth decile (the top one) are admitted. The admission rates for Whites and Asians in the fourth decile are just 2 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.

In the fifth decile, Blacks are admitted at a rate of 21 percent — about the same rate as Whites in the tenth decile. For Whites and Asians in the fifth decile, the admission rates are just 4 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively.

In other words, Blacks with slightly below average credentials in relation to other applicants stand about the same chance of being admitted to Yale as Whites and Asians whose credentials place them in the top 10 percent of the applicant pool.

The Finance Committee’s jurisdiction covers taxation and revenue policy, including oversight of the Internal Revenue Service. The senator’s legislation reflects her 2020 campaign proposal to impose a two cent tax on every dollar of individual wealth over $50 million, with an additional surtax on every dollar of wealth over $1 billion.”

Here’s How GOP’s Stimulus Package Compares to Biden’s

2nd February 2021

Read it.

Ten Senate Republicans released a $618 billion counterproposal to President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package hours before they met on Monday evening in hopes of finding some common ground, but the two proposals have far more differences than similarities.

The $618 billion package only slightly resembles Biden’s, whose proposal is three times as large and includes bigger stimulus checks for a greater number of people. Despite the differences, the senators expressed willingness to work with Biden, who campaigned on unity and his ability to reach across the aisle.

Annals of “Failing Up”, from Washington State to The Other Washington

Read it.

Last week, an official from Washington State was nominated by the Biden administration to be “Interim Assistant Secretary of the Employment and Training Administration”, a post in the Labor Department. And just what the hell is that? “Interim” “Assistant”? Someone must have searched long and hard for a suitable slot for the former Head of the Washington Employment Security Department, which handles unemployment claims.

Here in Washington State, Suzi LeVine presided over the loss to the State of $600 Million in Unemployment Fraud, during the Covid-unemployment deluge last year. The Department even today has a 40,000-claim backlog in processing 2020 claims. I wonder how much taxpayer money she will now lose for the rest of the country in her new job?

The Canary Chirps

2nd February 2021

Read it.

For those of you who don’t know, law enforcement can issue various secret warrants that have some kind of gag order attached. You cannot tell anyone for any reason. You cannot even acknowledge that it exists. The workaround is to set up a warrant canary. This is some kind of flag that says “I have not received” a National Security Letter or something with a gag order. Since they cannot force you to lie, you can always remove the canary when you have received one of these legal notices. The absence of the canary informs people that something changed.

If you find this disturbing, welcome to the club.

Two bulletproof backpack makers and one local retailer said the bill damages an industry created to protect children from school shootings.

It’s a card rarely played in any serious way in the Bluegrass State, though Kentucky has had its share of provocative elected officials. In the two new cases, the effort to impeach was triggered by disagreements over policy or executive decisions at the highest levels of Kentucky government.

27,000 Children Stranded In Refugee Camps ‘At Risk sff Radicalization’ by ISIS, UN Official Says

30th January 2021

Read it.

And whose fault is that? Who keeps them in those camps, and mired in poverty?

Could it be the U.N. High Commission on Refugees, which would be out of a job if there were none?

Clinesmith Avoids the Clink

30th January 2021

Read it.

The greatest political scandal in American history is going to be swept under the rug. That is the moral I extract from the story that former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith has been sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to altering a key document supporting one of the government’s FISA renewal applications on the warrant taken out on Carter Page, who must be the cleanest man in the United States.

The Crust take care of their own.

Americans First

Steve Sailer.

As commenter Reg Caesar points out, “amnesty” is the wrong word, not because it’s too strong but because it’s too weak. An amnesty means you won’t get punished for breaking the law but you still have to obey the law. What Biden is proposing is that not only won’t lawbreakers not be punished, they get to keep on breaking the law, and they get rewarded with citizenship.

Let Them Eat Solar Panels

29th January 2021

Read it.

Monsieur John F. Kerry is the Harris-Biden administration’s Climate Ambassador. He is assisted in his diplomatic duties by National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy. Earlier this week they held a press briefing with the psickening Jen Psaki. I have embedded the video below. It is excruciating. The White House transcript can be read without the full effect of Kerry’s otherwise audible hauteur.

The gentleman from Madame Tussauds killed the Keystone Pipeline in the blizzard of executive orders he unleashed on Day One (White House Fact Sheet here). It was executive order 7, by Politico’s count. There is a revolution for the hell of it quality to the thing that reveals the will to power implicit in the climate charade.
