The US presidential election is more than 15 months away, and already we’re seeing elitist establishment narrative managers rolling out their long-anticipated “Stop Rebelling and Support Biden, You Insolent Little Shits” campaign. HBO’s Bill Maher spent his “New Rule” monologue segment last night admonishing his audience to abandon any notion of progressive reform and embrace the former vice president instead.

The Indian government has revoked the special autonomous status in place in Kashmir since  1947, amid a major security crackdown in the disputed Muslim-majority region.

In India’s most far-reaching move on the heavily militarised state for seven decades, Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed a presidential decree aimed at bringing Jammu and Kashmir fully under the control of Delhi.

Jim Goad charts the downward slide.

On Friday I appeared live on Red Ice TV’s YouTube channel and was informed that due to YouTube’s increasingly censorious policies, I must refrain from using the “R” word—“replacement”—when referring to the fact that only European-majority nations are being forced to dilute their ethnic majorities with nonwhite immigration. It’s been said a billion times, but no one in authority is calling for Africa to become less black or for China to become less Chinese.

Joel Kotkin looks at the record.

Baltimore represents an extreme case, but sadly it is not alone. Last year our three largest urban centers — New York, Los Angeles and Chicago — lost people while millennial migration accelerated both to the suburbs and smaller, generally less dense cities. These demographic trends, as well as growing blight, poor schools, decaying infrastructure and, worst of all, expanding homelessness are not merely the result of “racism” or Donald Trump, but have all been exacerbated by policy agendas that are turning many great cities into loony towns.

Used to be that Democrat urban political machines enriched themselves while providing goods and services to the inhabitants who kept them in office. Now they’ve cut out the ‘goods and services’ part of that formula.

The state of California is taking a page out of Malcom X’s book to ensure that future generations of students know that capitalism is an inherently ‘racist’ – and just as bad as the patriarchy, white supremacy and ‘ableism,’ according to a recent Op-Ed by Stanford University Hoover Institution research fellow Williamson M.

The company’s modified blast furnace uses FastOx gasification technology to heat all of the trash to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about twice as hot as the heart of a volcano.

While it may seem like this would require large amounts of energy, the system is able to generate the heat simply by injecting pure oxygen into the furnace. The oxygen then reacts with the carbon emanating from the rotting garbage in order to create carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The steam is then pumped back into the furnace to maintain the internal temperature.

The Federal Communications Commission voted to approve laws that ban fraudulent text messages and international robocalls last week.

The new rules in effect neutralize loopholes in the Truth in Caller ID Act, which banned spoofing domestic calls but made it hard for the FCC to prosecute against perpetrators of scam text messages and international calls. Now, the FCC can monitor and penalize “bad actors” behind these types of schemes.

Well, let’s see if it has any effect.

Interview on C-SPAN.

Kevin dislikes a lot of the same people that I do, so I find his views very agreeable.

Kevin’s basic problem is that he’s a libertarian, and libertarians are (like proglodytes) heirs of Rousseau, people who think that the individual is an autonomous ‘unit’ both socially and economically. The heirs of Rousseau think of existing social relationships that form a culture are like cobwebs, sticky encumbrances that need to be brushed off so that units can go cleanly and efficiently about their business of rationally re-ordering human relationships according to the really excellent plan they’ve just come up with and not sticking with the messy and ugly relationships that ‘just grew’ through historical processes.

Libertarians are better than most Rousseauians but they assume that because individuals are autonomous economic units, which is fairly accurate in the First World (there aren’t a lot of libertarians outside of the First World), they are therefore autonomous social units, which is patently false. Each individual is firmly embedded in a web os social relationships extending from family/friends outward in progressively larger circles until they encompass the entire planet. This is true from cradle to grave; the only way to escape such webs is to dive into the jungles of the Amazon rainforest and spend every waking hour avoiding other humans. Society is like gravity — if you and another human are close enough to interact, you have a relationship whether you like it or not, and the only thing undetermined is what the exact nature of the relationship will be.

Libertarians, like proglodytes, are so in love with their mechanistic, rationalistic view of the world that they never pause to examine how things work in reality, but rather live in a fantasy land where their dreams will come true if they find the right star on which to wish. A lot of them realize this, consciously or not, so libertarianism winds up as a broad smear ranging from libertarianish conservatives near the middle right the way out to radical libertarians on the lunatic fringe. This is why there is no significant libertarian political movement, and why the various Libertarian Parties are such a joke.

But just because they don’t have any of the right answers doesn’t impair the fact that libertarians are pretty good at coming up with uncomfortable questions for the rest of us. And Kevin is very good at that.

ZMan points the finger.

he official story on the seditious plot to overturn the 2016 election is that nothing happened and citizens should return to the economic duties. A few over-enthusiastic agents engaged in nothing more than office gossip. All is well. Like everything that comes from the rulers, this is all nonsense, but this is just how things are with a highly corrupt ruling class. The rulers don’t lie because they are hiding something. They lie because they take pleasure in humiliating the people.

There are plenty of theories about what went on, supported by leaked documents and clever people fitting puzzle pieces together. The website The Last Refuge has done a lot of work aggregating publicly available data. They are a bit conspiratorial and often fill in blanks with speculation, but they have a lot of good stuff. Doug Ross has put together an amazing list of news items related to the plot. Seeing all of the planted news stories in chronological format makes for interesting reading.

ZMan is delightfully dyspeptic today.

In his book, At Our Wits’ End, Ed Dutton uses the space program as an example of how general intelligence has declined. It’s not a bulletproof example, but more of a way to think about how declining intelligence impacts a society. Fifty years ago, America had the collective ability to organize a massive project like the moon shot. Today, the country lacks the organizational ability to do a moon shot. That organizational ability is a function of the general intelligence of society.

Can[t say he’s wrong.

One area to watch is the war machine that was created to be run mostly by smart white guys with a sense of adventure. Automation and technology has replaced a lot of human brainpower in the military. The sophisticated computer systems on ships, planes and weapons makes it possible for mediocre people to operate them. No one needs to calibrate machine guns on fighter planes or learn trigonometry in order to serve in an artillery unit. Computers do the heavy thinking today.

When the Navy’s battleships were last brought back into service, they reviewed the performance of the mechanical fire direction calculators to see whether they ought to be replaced with electronic computers. They discovered that the only improvement to be made was a doppler radar to detect the actual speed of the first shot out of the guns so that further shots could be more precisely adjusted.

This story about the problems in the elite services is a sign of things to come. It’s not just that the number of men available to serve in these units is in decline. It is the decline in organizational intelligence that is needed to maintain these units. These units require a leadership stack above them with the skill and ability to keep these types of soldiers on edge, but under control. In the multicultural America, the vibrant and diverse military will not have the human capital to fill these roles.

Of course, now that Arabic is the key language for career advancement in places that have no sign out front and a large eagle emblem in the lobby, the civilian programs have begun started to attract the kinds of calculating douchebags who used to make studying Russian so unpleasant. They are still in the minority, but having even one of these guys (and they’re always guys) in your class can lead to needless suffering.

I know some of those guys.

Nearly all Arabic words consist of a three-consonant root slotted into a pattern of vowels and helper consonants. The root gives the word its base meaning, while the pattern modifies this meaning in a systematic and predictable way. This idea is so cool that you’d think it came from a constructed language, and yet Arabic has actual native speakers who live completely normal lives and will not try to talk to you about Runescape.

Arabic rivals Greek in its suitability for theological discussion.

Harris came out of the first debate the clear winner and Gabbard cut her down to size with one of the single best minutes of political television since Donald Trump told Hillary Clinton, “Because you’d be in jail.”

Gabbard’s takedown of Harris was so spot on and her closing statement about the irresponsible nature of the Trump Administration’s foreign policy was so powerful she had to be actively suppressed on Twitter.

And, within minutes of the debate ending the media and the political machines moved into overdrive to smear her as a Russian agent, an Assad apologist and a favorite of the alt-right.

The order will block any House Ways and Means Committee requests for the tax returns via the New York law until the jurisdictional dispute is resolved.

During Wednesday’s edition of The Beat With Ari Melber, the eponymous host shared some “new information and context for President Trump’s race-baiting rhetoric and discriminatory policies.” This “new information” came in the form of indefensible comments from then-California governor and future President Ronald Reagan and the then-President Richard Nixon, which Melber gleefully used as a lynchpin to attack Republicans and conservatives as racist.

ZMan shares his thoughts.

Watching the Democrats debate the last two nights, the unmistakable impression is that the people turning America into a land of strangers has not thought about how such a land can operate as a democracy. The debate field has just about one from every category among the ascendant. The only thing they are missing is a 65-IQ East African and a Muslim wearing a dynamite vest. Otherwise, the field looks like the brochure for multiculturalism the party likes to wave around.

One thing that they were missing, of course, is a Woman of Color as part of the Media Straight Person Team.

That’s been the theme so far. In round one, the angry black women, who used to sleep with Willie Brown, led the charge against Joe Biden. Creepy Uncle Joe was a racist because 80 years ago when he started running for office, he held normal opinions about stuff like most everyone at the time. Everyone else then spent their time explaining how they have never had normal thoughts about anything. It was a two-episode explanation on why none of those people are like you.

Here’s the part I like best:

At the risk of sounding impolite, no decent man wants to live in a society that sends its mothers and daughters into combat. If you want to understand why so many of us harbor dark thoughts about the people who rule over us, it’s right there. Tulsi Gabbard should be home raising her children, not running for president. No women should be serving in the military, outside of administrative and medical areas. There should never be a discussion about putting girls in combat – ever.
