But What About . . .?

19th April 2019

Charles C.W. Cooke resists the cuckiness of his colleagues at National Review.

David [French] writes:

the idea that anyone is treating this report as “win” for Trump, given the sheer extent of deceptions exposed (among other things), demonstrates that the bar for his conduct has sunk so low that anything other than outright criminality is too often brushed aside as relatively meaningless.

I disagree. It is, in fact, a “win” for Trump. The central question in American politics over the last two years — and, indeed, the central question that the investigation into Russian interference gradually evolved to answer — was not “is Donald Trump a good person?” or “is Donald Trump a liar?” or “is Donald Trump fit to be president?” or even “does Donald Trump behave well when under investigation?” It was “is Donald Trump a traitor who colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election, and if not, did his campaign do so on his behalf?” The answer to that question — to those questions, in fact — is a resounding “No.”

People in politics, especially people in Washington, persist in measuring Trump by the behavior they expect of Garden Variety Politicians, and whenever he doesn’t match their expectations they denounce his failure to meet their expectations as some kine of character flaw. What they forget is. that there is no basis in either history or morality for Garden Variety Politician behavior to be held up as some sort of ideal. It’s just what they’re used to. Deception is like breathing to a Garden Variety Politician; to complain about Trump is merely to complain that his sliminess is different from te expected sliminess and therefore somehow unacceptable. Additionally, the deranged hatred of Trump is such that even when he does the sort of stuff that Garden Variety Politicians do, they complain about it just because he’s Trump. Obama lied as often and as frequently as Trump is accused of doing (and don’t get me started on Bill Clinton), and even lied in circumstances where Trump tells the truth — such as the objectives of programs — and yet he’s still the Magic Negro and Trump is somehow Hitler.

“Whiteness” as a Waste of Space

17th April 2019

Steve Sailer reads this stuff so you don’t have to.

Sofia Leung:

One of the mind-blowing things she shared was this idea of how our library collections, because they are written mostly by straight white men, are a physical manifestation of white men ideas taking up all the space in our library stacks. Pause here and think about this.

If you don’t already know, “whiteness as property,” is a seminal Critical Race Theory (CRT) concept first introduced by Cheryl I. Harris in her 1993 Harvard Law Review article by the same name. She writes, “slavery as a system of property facilitated the merger of white identity and property” (p. 1721) and the formation of whiteness as property required the erasure of Native peoples. Basically, white people want to stay being white because of the privilege and protection whiteness affords under the law that they created. Harris also makes this really good point, “whiteness and property share a common premise — a conceptual nucleus — of a right to exclude” (1714). Bam! That really hits it on the head.

As I’m collaborating on this book about CRT in Library and Information Studies (LIS), I’ve been having lots of discussions on these topics with some really smart folx.

Where do they find these people?

Donald Trump’s Idea to Ship Illegal Immigrants to Sanctuary Cities Is Ridiculous and Wrong

12th April 2019

David French, National Review cuck, fetches a stick for his Establishment paymasters.

… but the idea that you can use human beings as pawns to punish your political enemies is not only repugnant, it’s politically disastrous.

They are already being used as pawns, by the other side. It’s disingenuous to say that we have to play by the rules but they don’t. This is how losers talk, and (no surprise) the record of National Review writers for recommending losing political strategies is second to none. The number of illegal immigrants is RIGHT NOW greater than our capacity to handle them, hence the policy of ‘catch and release’ that is now in place. If they must be released, what’s the argument against releasing them in communities that have indicated a favorable attitude toward them by proclaiming their Sanctuary City status? There is none, and of course French doesn’t even try to make one. His whole argument boils down to I Don’t Like It So Therefore It’s Wrong, which is what (dare I say it?) what proglodytes do, not (supposed) conservatives.

UPDATE: San Jose Mayor Says Trump Can Send Illegal Immigrants To His City Any Time

Well. There it is.

WashPost ‘Fact Checker’ Skips Pinocchios for Omar on CAIR, Adds Bizarre Bush ‘Context’

12th April 2019

Read it.

The Washington Post “Fact Checker” completely avoided any Pinocchios for a fact-mangling Democrat again. That’s because the liberals at the Post were upset at the conservative outrage that Rep. Ilhan Omar said “some people did something” on 9/11. The “fact” squad said they wanted to put the remarks “in context”….but they actually defended Omar by comparing her to President George W. Bush’s speeches in the days after 9/11.

White Americans’ Diets Are Particularly Bad for the Planet

11th April 2019

Popular Science continues its transition from science to politics.

White Americans may be committing more food-related offenses than under-seasoned chicken: Their diets produce more greenhouse gases than those of other racial and ethnic groups in the United States.

Women and minorities hardest hit, no doubt.

New York Magazine’s Horror: Invasion of the Fox News Body Snatchers

10th April 2019

Read it.

New York Magazine published an article on Tuesday by Luke O’Neil, writing from a very dark place. It’s titled “What I’ve Learned From Collecting Stories of People Whose Loved Ones Were Transformed by Fox News”to the extent that it comes off as a parody of itself that could be called “Invasion of the Fox News Body Snatchers.” [Scary Hannity image is theirs.]

He tweeted “I asked a bunch of people how it felt watching their family members be stolen from them by Fox News over the years”. Read O’Neil’s sad but unintentionally hilarious tale of loved ones who supposedly became mind-numbed robots (or pod people) due to watching Fox News and I guarantee you will burst out laughing.
