Mitt Romney is a not a conservative, “severe” or otherwise. He’s a Business Class Liberal. Always has been. Yes, he’s very “conservative” on issues like “should the working class always have their wages reduced by constant remorseless labor arbitrage and relocating factories to China,” and “conservative’ on the question “should companies be allowed to take a business expense deduction on their taxes for the costs of moving factories to China,” but on everything else — including, especially, Obamacare, which he fathered — he’s a liberal.
Makes you wonder why he pretends to be a Republican. Of course, I wondered that about Bloomberg, too.
Hey, maybe Mitt ought to run for the Democratic Presidential nomination. He’s got the Never Trump vote.
UPDATE: ‘Mitt Romney. Not One of Us.’

Here are some pictures and video of the creepy culty Women in White sitting on their fat asses while Trump announced stuff like the lowest level of black poverty ever, or the lowest rate of black teen unemployment ever recorded.
I received a text message on my phone from a Bloomberg operative asking whether they could ‘count on me to support Mike’. I texted back that I’d first like to get an explanation for why a Republican is running for the Democrat Presidential nomination. No response as yet. Nor do I expect one. If I can find out where the Democrats are holding their primary caucuses I may track him down and ask him that in person. That would be fun.

It’s a ritual. After the Iowa caucuses, those with a “ticket out,” and those who just want to prolong the agony, fly to New Hampshire to campaign. Elizabeth Warren, who has half a ticket out, followed this practice.
She did so by private jet. Nothing wrong with that. There are probably few, if any, direct commercial flights from anywhere in Iowa to anywhere in New Hampshire. Anyway, after an exhausting Iowa campaign and a late night of waiting for results that didn’t come, why not fly privately if you can afford to?
However, Warren supports the Green New Deal. It calls for reductions in air travel, and for working towards eliminating such travel, because of the adverse effects jets have on the environment.
Is it hypocritical to support the Green New Deal yet fly by private jet when there are more environmentally friendly, though less convenient, alternatives? Probably, to a small degree.
In any case, we know that Elizabeth Warren sees the inconsistency. She was caught trying to use an aide to shield her from cameras as she got off of her private jet in New Hampshire. At least that’s how it plainly looks to me. Check out the video below and see if you agree.
Warren seems pretty agile as she pulls a reverse Chuck Schumer by dodging the camera. She also displays quick thinking. Too quick.
The Democrat Party is turning into a classic meme of science-fiction dystopias, the privileged upper-class ruling establishment who don’t suffer under the same constraints as the remainder of the herd population. It is a popular notion on the Left that ‘Trump will lead us into a Hunger Games society!’ whereas that society resembles far more what Democrats are already putting into place.

When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up her copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, she destroyed an official document, not just a printout, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday.
“It’s not some printout,” the California Democrat told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “The president walks in and hands that to the speaker of the House and to the vice president. Those are the official documents. He signs those.”
What does Nancy Pelosi care?

There’s a quote I’m sure you’ve heard, and it’s usually attributed to Einstein (although he was far from the first to say it, and even he said it different ways at different times): “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought. I know only this: World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
Well, here’s a quote with only one author (me): “I know not the source of the next extinction-level pandemic. I know only this: White people will not be allowed to discuss it.”
When the truly apocalyptic plague hits, it’ll be because someone in the nonwhite world ate a civet dick or fellated a corpse’s pustules. And the disease will be seen as the lesser of two evils compared with the racist white folks trying to contain it. There’ll be no way to fight the epidemic without passing judgment on the behavior or customs of nonwhites, and there’ll be no way to contain it without quarantining at least a few people of color. So we’ll all just die.

Steve Sailer fisks a tocsin from the Associated Press.
AP:
The blending of identity was further muddled by government forms, including the U.S. census.
Steve:
In other words, white people oppressed Iranians by declaring them white.
AP:
Many Iranian Americans have historically marked themselves as “white” when reporting their race for the census.
[Which, genetically, they are.]
Steve:
But the Flight from White is cranking up as Iranians figure out that there’s no upside in being officially white in America.
He has entirely too much fun with this stuff.

These days, even Third World countries tend to have rapid vote counting, and when the process breaks down, such as in Bolivia recently, it’s a national crisis.
In contrast, America seems to have gotten slower at figuring out who won, with the closer you get to Silicon Valley, the slower. Good thing the presidential primary season doesn’t start in California or the results wouldn’t be final until April.

As you no doubt are aware, the liberal Snopes.com web site has repeatedly “fact checked” satirical stories on the Babylon Bee, America’s foremost satire site, or–as Glenn Reynolds says–America’s paper of record. In a related development, and consistent with the hypothesis that liberals undergo an initiation in which any possible sense of humor is surgically removed, CNN reacted angrily to President Trump’s joke that Michael Bloomberg was looking for a box to stand on in the Democratic debates (to which, by the way, he apparently is being admitted via a rule change as part of the DNC’s “stop Bernie” hysteria).

Steve Sailer blows the whistle.
From Penn State:
“Instead, nearly 20 percent of Hispanic students go to preschools where 90 percent or more students are of their same race/ethnicity,” the researchers wrote in the report.
Steve responds:
It’s almost as if there are now a lot of Hispanic children in the U.S.
Imagine that.
According to Proglodyte Magic Dirt Theory, non-white kids won’t learn anything unless there are a certain percentage of white kids in their classrooms. I guess it’s cooties or something.

The coronavirus outbreak that is raging all over China right now has been making headlines on a daily basis all over the globe, and rightly so. At this point we don’t know if it will ultimately become a horrifying global pandemic that will affect tens of millions of people, but what we do know is that the virus spreads very easily and the number of cases has been rising at an exponential rate. Meanwhile, three other plagues have also been marching across Asia, and most people in the western world don’t even realize that this is happening. What I am about to share with you in this article is quite chilling, and the months ahead will be very dark if these plagues continue to spread.

Waits for care in Canada’s government-run health insurance system, the closest analog to “Medicare for all” in the world, are spiraling. The remedy for those waits, according to a new report from the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute? A dose of U.S.-style private insurance.
Right now, Canada is the only high-income country with universal health coverage that bans its citizens from purchasing private insurance for anything deemed “medically necessary.” “Medicare for all” would make the U.S. the second.

Evolution is an ongoing process, although many don’t realize people are still evolving. It’s true that Homo sapiens look very different than Australopithecus afarensis, an early hominin that lived around 2.9 million years ago. But it is also true that we are very different compared to members of our same species, Homo sapiens, who lived 10,000 years ago — and we will very likely be different from the humans of the future.

No ordinary citizen can legally carry a gun in New York City, yet shootings are up 59.6 percent over this time last year. On Sunday, a pregnant woman was shot while sitting in her own car in front of her home in Queens. This is becoming the new normal in New York after the memo has gone out to criminals in the city that politicians fear growing the prison population more than they fear crime.
According to NYPD crime data, in addition to the 59.6 percent spike in shootings over this time last year, robberies increased 32.8 percent and grand larceny auto crimes were up a whopping 62.8 percent. Burglaries rose by 17 percent. This is just for the first 26 days of 2020.
Well, that’s what you get when Democrats run your city.

I hear whispers that not only is the coronavirus hitting East Asians hardest, but specifically Han Chinese.
There are indications that Africans may have the same special lung structures that make Chinese especially vulnerable to the coronavirus, so it will be interesting to see what happens if it spreads to the extensive Chinese colonies in Africa.

Joel Kotkin watches the slow-motion train wreck.
For generations the Democratic Party has survived as an amalgam of competing factions: the labor-oriented party Middle American mainstream, the assorted billionaires and grandees from the coasts and the rising “clerisy “ of educated, credentialed professionals.
This coalition has shattered as the old unionized working-class base, at least among whites, has all but disappeared, replaced by the less settled precariat of unorganized, often temporary and increasingly non-white workers.
If white people ever get together and start voting as if they were an ethnic group, Democrats are in serious trouble.
