New Yorker: Zeroth Amendment’s Supremacy Over First Amendment is Dollars and Cents Common Sense

8th July 2018

Steve Sailer has some fun.

It’s almost as if New Yorker readers are profitably assumed to be part of an ideological tribe with as strong territorialist emotions — How dare Bad Guys defile the sacred turf of Berkeley? — as Glasgow soccer hooligans beating tourists from Milan.

But if you were as lucid as, say, Berkeley professor Judith Butler, you’d understand that Good Guys are Good. The masked vigilante Antifa Black Bloc might look like thugs, but they are Our Thugs, and that’s what counts.

Berkeley’s turf is sacred not because of some principle made about Free Speech in the 1960s but because that’s where Our Team beat Your Team. And the fact that Your Team is now appealing to the logic of Our Team’s rationalization of our triumph to contest our control of our turf just proves you are the Bad Guys.

Not only was Barrett not present on the three-judge panel that rendered the verdict, but she didn’t even take her place on the Seventh Circuit until November, 2017 — five months after the case was concluded. In fact, the ruling was penned by Judge Diane Sykes — a woman, certainly, but a completely different one.

We’re sure that if she had been there she would have voted wrong, so it’s ‘fake but accurate’. And besides, TRUMP!

The Silly Season Is Upon Us Again

Paul Mirengoff breaks out the popcorn.

I mention Brock’s allegation because it has been revived — a sure sign that the silly, albeit deadly serious, season of another judicial confirmation struggle is upon us. Off-hand comments a candidate may (or may not) have made at a party more than 20 years ago become fair game. Associates who were mentored by a candidate and who followed him from one job to another can allege, years after the fact, that the candidate engaged in sexual harassment. The allegation will enter, and very likely dominate, the debate over the nominee.

You may cut and paste it, and your boss will not notice the difference.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren Latest Democrat to Call for ‘Replacing ICE’

30th June 2018

Read it.

More virtue-signalling by people who aren’t going to suffer from the consequences of the silly thing they advocate.

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren called for the abolition of ICE during a rally on Saturday morning. “The president’s deeply immoral actions have made it obvious we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality and that works,” Warren said, according to The Hill.

I would agree that we ought to (not need to) rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom, primarily because it is so sclerotic and bureaucratic that it takes damned near forever to immigrate legally, which is a large part of what is motivating people to ‘cut out the middleman’ and immigrate illegally. That bureaucratic tangle has given rise to a vast number of ‘abogados’, lawyers specializing in Working the System for immigrants both legal and illegal, which only makes it worse — when you’ve got a large group whose income depends on the system being difficult, they’re going to be a great stumbling block in the way of making the system less difficult. (Think tax preparers and the tax system.) This is what the slur-term Special Interest is all about.

The great flaw in Warren’s position (and that of those similarly situated) is that ‘replacing ICE’ is not the best, or even a useful, place to start. All of this ‘replace ICE’ blather is just grabbing a complex situation by whatever sticks out farthest and pretending that that’s the handle. These politicians (and the bulk of the ‘protestors’) are good examples of what Scott Adams called ‘child-like thinking’ — like children, they look at the people who are in charge and shout ‘JUST FIX IT’ as if that’s all it took.

The family-separation fracas is a very good example of this sort of thinking in practice: There are very good reasons, often having to do with the safety of the children involved and the proven fact that a lot of these children come north with people who are NOT their parents, for separating them while things are sorted out. But, according to opponents, you should just change everything immediately so that they are not separated — Hey, just sign a piece of paper and everything will be fine. Well, Trump showed them that you ought to be careful what you wish for; he ‘signed a piece of paper’, and whaddaya know, it didn’t fix it. And of course now it’s his fault that the magic didn’t happen.

These people are the intellectual equivalent of a boss who gives you an impossible task and says ‘Just do it.’ The overwhelming urge to Just Do Him speaks to the way people react to such stupidity. Do enough of that and things blow up good and proper, and that’s the direction in which we are headed.

CNN’s Jim Acosta Heckled at Donald Trump Rally and Told to ‘Go Home’

26th June 2018

Read it.

“An elderly woman came up to me and said that I needed to get the ‘eff’ out. And then she turned to the crowd and whipped them all into a frenzy and they were saying ‘go home Jim, CNN sucks, fake news,’ and so on. And to me, it’s sort of like, really? This is civility?”

You could ask Maxine Waters. You could ask Joy Behar. You could ask Whoopi Goldberg.

“It’s sort of like being beamed into the twilight zone, Don, covering a political rally where your fellow Americans – you stand for the pledge of allegiance, you do the national anthem – and then they all turn on you and start screaming at you like this. It’s just unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and it’s quite startling.”

How do you like living like a Republican for a while, Jim?

Warren Was All for Housing Immigrant Kids on Military Bases When Obama Was President

25th June 2018

Read it. And watch the video.

Demagogues have no problem doing this because they think everyone not of the Crust won’t remember their previous position. When it comes to their supporters, of course, they’re right.

Much Ado About Caring

25th June 2018

Jim Goad is fed up.

I’m not sure whether you’ve noticed, but the overwhelming percentage of online “discourse” these days is nothing loftier than grown men and women acting like schoolchildren in their bloody competition to out-care each other. Forget about policy and numbers and reason and what will work and what won’t. It’s all about whether you have a heart, and if you don’t, well, you should probably be hit with a shovel.

Welcome to the High School From Hell.

Reporting Trump’s First Year: The Fourth Estate

24th June 2018

Read a review of the BBS program in The Times of London.

For anyone interested in the often fraught relationship between politics and the media, Reporting Trump’s First Year: The Fourth Estate (BBC Two) was a big draw. Documentaries exploring the internal workings of newspapers are nothing new but Liz Garbus’s series about The New York Times promised particularly rich pickings, capturing the embattled mood at the newspaper during the USA’s most turbulent political period in living memory.

I’m sure you can see the elephant in the room as well as I do.

But there was also something missing in Garbus’s account: any sense that a newspaper is made for readers, or anyone other than journalists and wonks, for instance. Or that those working for it might have political agendas of their own.

Oh, say it ain’t so….

Canadian Liberal Party Executive Says ‘Subhuman’ Trump Supporters Should Be Sent to ‘Camps’

22nd June 2018

Read it.

Wait a minute … I thought it was Trump who was supposed to be Hitler….

(For those who weren’t around back then and for whom history started when they hit school, I should like to point out that the last two Presidents who sent people to camps were Democrats — FDR and Wilson.)
