“Obama judges”? Pretty Much

22nd November 2018

Paul Mirengoff of Powerline pushes back.

I like and respect Chief Justice Roberts, but I disagree with him. I believe we have too many federal judges who are doing their level best to assist the left in resisting President Trump. And while I would never refer to a judge as an Obama judge, it’s more than fair to refer to one as an Obama-appointed judge. This may well have been what Trump meant.

The questions of whether it matters who appointed a federal judge and whether such judges view litigants, including President Trump, with equal regard in any meaningful sense are empirical ones. If one can predict with a high degree of accuracy how a judge will rule in a highly controversial case, or in a case challenging a Trump edict the left doesn’t like, just by knowing which president appointed that judge, then Roberts’ defense of the federal judiciary fails.

Bitter Asian Man

21st November 2018

Steve Sailer keeps bringing up topics that disturb people.

Diversity is supposed to be “our strength,” but the interracial romance marketplace generates much resentment among those groups, such as black women and East Asian men, who tend to be in less demand than their racial rivals.

Markets work even when you don’t want them to.

The reason the black women writing op-eds stick to blaming just the white Beckys rather than also the Asian Amys is, of course, that it is respectable for blacks to blame whites for their problems. For a black woman writer to admit that Asian women also tend to have advantages over her in the hair-length department would be problematic, as they say. But mostly black women are just not into lacerating self-appraisals.

I, for one, don’t find black women at all attractive. I guess that makes me a waysist.

In my 1997 National Review article “Is Love Colorblind?” I pointed out that the 1990 U.S. Census found that white men were married to Asian women 2.5 times as often as Asian men were married to white women.

Conversely, black men were married to white women 2.5 times as often as white men were married to black women.

These racial ratios imply that some Asian men and some black women are going to be out of luck, unless they want to try marrying each other (which, generally speaking, they don’t).

At least black women have an easier time getting into Harvard or Yale or Princeton than Asian men. At least that’s something.

Start-Up Opportunity: Combine DNA & Astrology

20th November 2018

Steve Sailer has a brain-wave.

Testing your personal DNA is hot right now, of course, but the product is increasingly moving against the growing anti-science / pro-feelings current in the culture. Personal DNA testing sounds like something that Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker came up with at an evolutionary psychology conference in 1992, notan idea in sync with the current year. Where are the feelings in the data?

To be fair: I’ve had food at Chick-Fil-A, and I don’t care what it looks like, it’s all good.

Fudge to Pelosi: I’ll see your gender and raise you my race.

16th November 2018

I’m not sure how seriously to take a potential bid by Fudge for the Speakership. Pelosi has some support withing the congressional black caucus and Fudge’s opposition, for whatever reason, to pro-gay rights legislation might be a deal-breaker for many of those insurgent Democratic members.

In any event, Pelosi’s struggle within her caucus, and the fact that it’s being played out so blatently in identity politics terms, is a sign of trouble for Democrats down the road. As Steve likes to say, “pass the popcorn.”

Will Trump Join the “Fight for $15?”

14th November 2018

Read it.

As is now well understood, Trump has few policy interests beyond managing trade and suppressing immigration. Further, he’s an economic populist who has championed plenty of left-wing causes in the past. So he’d have little compunction about abandoning a Republican economic policy and embracing a Democratic one that has blue-collar appeal—and one that would impose hardship on immigrants and minorities to boot.

That’s why I believe Trump will become a loud proponent of increasing the minimum wage—perhaps all the way to the political left’s ideal of $15 an hour.

People Seem to Have Forgotten That the Mega Millions Jackpot Winner Still Hasn’t Claimed His/Her Prize

14th November 2018

Read it.

The way this works is that you go to an experienced lawyer/CPA who sets up an LLC which then claims the ticket. This keeps you anonymous in every state.

The LLC can be structured to do almost anything you want to do with it, including passing through large amounts to friends and family so that they will have to pay the income tax and so that no gift tax is incurred.

This doesn’t surprise me a bit. Obviously the winner has two brain cells to rub together. Unusual for lottery winners, certainly, but not impossible.

US Only Country in the World to Vote Against Work of UN Refugee Agency

14th November 2018

Read it.

And there’s a reason for that.

‘We will detain and prosecute those who enter US territory illegally,’ American ambassador says.

The UN Refugee Agency has been in the business of promoting ‘refugee-ness’ since its founding. It is the primary reason why ‘Palestinians’ are stuck in crappy refugee tent cities rather than being absorbed by their fellow Arabs in the countries bordering Israel.

Their latest program is to soak up ‘refugees’ from what Trump accurately characterized as ‘shithole countries’ and dump them in unassimilable clumps into First World countries, in order to turn those First World countries into shithole countries as well.

Return of the Fifth Columnists

13th November 2018

Taki hates all of the right people.

What got me thinking about fifth columnists was a new book that I, of course, will neither buy nor read by one Max Boot, a so-called neoconservative who has announced in his opus that he’s leaving the Republican Party for good because he cannot be associated with people who like Trump or those who voted for him. Losing Boot, of course, feels like losing an obese dead man in a tiny overcrowded lifeboat in a storm. The Republican Party is well rid of him, because if ever there were a fifth columnist among conservatives and Republicans, it was the likes of Boot and that poisoned dwarf William Kristol.

What he said.

White Women Gonna White

12th November 2018

Jim Goad is somewhat irritated.

Last Tuesday’s deeply anticipated/dreaded “Blue Wave” that threatened to engulf the midterm elections turned into an underwhelming Blue Trickle, and white women are getting blamed for it. If you recall, they also got blamed for electing Donald Trump when exit polls suggested that 53% of the Caucasian Sisterhood voted for him.

“White women gonna white,” lamented Elie Mystal, a doughy, smirking black man who makes a living complaining about living in a country that affords him the sort of wealth and comfort that would be unimaginable in his backward, disease-ridden Motherland.

(In case you need an interpreter, “[Blank] gonna [blank]” is one of those ghetto linguistic inanities along the lines of “it is what it is.” By saying that “White women gonna white,” Mystal is saying that white women are going to do stupidly racist and unforgivably selfish things because that’s what white women do. It’s almost as if they can’t help themselves, but maybe if we bark at them and yell at them and relentlessly shame them they’ll realize that we, not they, know what’s best for them, and there’s nothing bigoted or condescending about that at all, so why the hell aren’t they listening to us?)
