Donald Trump is arguably the most unsuitable candidate of any major western political party in living memory, let alone leader of its most powerful state. Brazenly dishonest at times, fond of extreme and reckless rhetoric and disdainful of most political conventions, he’s also the funniest politician in decades.

The two things are not unconnected. Comedy as an art form has come under a great deal of strain in the past decade, a result of western society’s new moralization. Comedians have increasingly sought to be ethical figures on the right side of a great moral struggle, ignoring the fact that funny people don’t have to be good people; indeed, some of the greatest comedians have been malicious or self-centered.

Trump has the wit of the schoolyard tormentor, an unparalleled ability to find an opponent’s weakness. No one has coined so many unforgiving nicknames, and probably no modern figure has popularized as many phrases in the English language.

After Brown vs Board of Education was decided in 1954, the Democrat-run segregationist South engaged in “massive resistance,” requiring years of follow-up court cases and Department of Justice action to enforce desegregation. It was understood that after the Supreme Court ruled against race-based affirmative action admissions last year in the Harvard and UNC cases that Democrat-run institutions would engage in massive resistance once again.

Ute Krüger is originally from Germany, but has lived in Sweden for almost 20 years; she worked for years there as a senior physician and speaks Swedish well. She specializes in pathology and is also a cancer researcher.

Krüger has decades of experience in analyzing how changes in cells and tissues in patients can be linked to specific diseases. She has recently co-published a book in German with documentation of patients who have probably been killed by the Corona vaccines. In this connection, she gave a video interview in Swedish.

Together with Professor Walter Lang, in Berlin in 2024 Ute Krüger published the textbook Geimpft — gestorben. Histopathologischer Atlas der Corona-Impfschäden. Gedenkschrift für Prof. Arne Burkhardt. This can be translated as “Vaccinated — died. Histopathological atlas of Corona vaccine damage. Commemorative publication for Prof. Arne Burkhardt.” The book contains 138 pages with 112 illustrations and 57 case descriptions. Work is underway to translate it into English.

Seven hundred past and present intelligence and other government officials and retired military officers have endorsed Kamala Harris. This includes at least some of the “dirty fifty-one” who assured us that Hunter’s laptop was fake, and the same crowd who pretended that the Steele dossier was real. People who have gutted our national defense with DEI hiring and the insane Obama policy deference to Islamist nutballs, while also calling for government censorship of critics, have declared that Xi, et al, would prefer Trump, an allegation even more absurd than their previous consensus on Hunter and Steele.

On the downside, it is depressing that within government and academia, mere titles and tenure are presented as viable substitutes for competence and character. It is deeply pathetic that these people believe they are remotely trustworthy.

On the upside, it’s nice to have a working list to start draining the swamp if the opportunity arises in 2025.

The population of Haiti is just under 12 million, and in the past few years around 300,000 of them have come to the United States. The population of Springfield, Ohio is around 58,000, and in the past few years, they have experienced a remarkably sudden and massive influx of new residents: 20,000 Haitians. So 7% of those who left Haiti for a better life in America moved to Springfield, Ohio.

Much has been written about this.  Republicans are complaining that this could have a negative impact on the social structure and financial viability of Springfield.  Democrats are rolling their eyes and saying that Haitians don’t eat cats.  But I’m stuck on a question further upstream:  How did Springfield, Ohio suddenly become such a popular destination for Haitians?  Is it really possible that just spontaneously, for no reason, 20,000 Haitians woke up one morning and all said in unison, “You know, I’d love to move to Springfield, Ohio.  Wherever that is.”  Ok, so if we presume that all those individual Haitians didn’t decide on Springfield, then who did?

Because YOUR GOVERNMENT wants to make rural America as much of a Turd World shithole as the Democrat-ruled major metropolitan areas have become. Thank you, Joe Biden.

Who, exactly, did this?

Who paid for it?

And why? Why Springfield, Ohio?

I would love to know the answers to those three questions.

In the early days of the internet, people started to notice that there was another side to the mass accumulation of information online. The information piling up in databases and data centers was not just public information, but also what had always been assumed to be private information. Pictures of your home and maybe even you outside cutting your grass could now turn up in the public square, without you knowing it. Lots of things about your life were now public information.

Suddenly, a degenerate with free time could figure out things about you that he could not know in the past. Of course, this became a temptation for people to nose around in the lives of coworkers and neighbors. The more information that piled up online, the less privacy everyone could expect. Quickly we were moving into glass houses and subjected to the unwanted gaze. The only place where you can be free of the gaze is in your own mind, and even there the synopticon is hunting for data.

Of course, in typical American fashion, the same people gathering up your private information and making it public now sell services to keep your private information as private as possible in this age. On the other hand, people told by the state to gather your private information for things like banking are reckless with their security, so it is regularly stolen and published by gangsters. Again, in typical American fashion, the reckless people never pay a price for it.

The Canary Islands have experienced their highest number of recorded migrant arrivals in a single seven-day period. With more than 40 boats detected and almost 3,000 individuals landing illegally, previous weekly records were shattered. Police sources predict that this new figure “will soon be pulverised” if current trends continue to afflict the archipelago.

Critics of Spain’s ruling socialist (PSOE) and Christian-democratic Pa?tio Popula? (PP) parties say that failure to deal with migrants robustly is exercising a ‘pull factor’ bringing more to the Islands. Specifically, the official approach to unaccompanied minors is actually incentivising more young men to take the risky journey.

Oh, ya think?

New figures from the State Security Forces and Corps compiled by La Gaceta show 2,823 illegal entries from the 16th to 22nd September. This exceeds the 2,759 immigrants detected during the recognised ‘worst week’ at the end of January 2024. It follows a Civil Guard report warning that the problem “remains at extreme levels,” while correctly predicting that it would almost certainly get worse in the second half of August. (The authorities began consolidating migration statistics in 2019.)

If they just left such people on the islands to starve, the flow would soon stop. But nobody would do that these days … which is why the ‘immigrants’ do it; they know that they will be taken care of.

Albania’s government is set to grant sovereignty to the Tirana-based Bektashi Muslims, an Islamic Sufi order, in the hope of promoting a moderate form of Islam. If plans are seen through, the “Sovereign State of the Bektashi Order” would become the smallest state in the world, just a quarter of the size of Vatican City.

Edmond Brahimaj, the Muslim cleric preparing to lead the 27-acre microstate, told The New York Times that the enclave will allow alcohol, permit women to wear what they want and impose no lifestyle rules. Other sources have described the planned development as a “liberal Muslim microstate.”

Much like the Bantu mini-state homelands South Africa tried to set up to remove native Africans from the apartheid state. Those didn’t work, and I suspect that this one won’t either.

The term “middle class” is thrown around all the time—especially during an election year—but what does it really mean? And more importantly, are you part of it? While definitions can vary, being middle class is closely tied to the idea of the “American dream,” the notion that with hard work and sound financial management, you should be able to afford a home, raise a family, and eventually enjoy a comfortable retirement. Emphasis on the “dream.”

If that identity is important to you (and I can’t see why it would), we have the technology.

No, they didn’t. Public schools don’t have the power to ‘ban’ books, which remain freely available to anyone with the money to buy them.

What they did do was remove said books from the school libraries and quit using them in classrooms, invariably because they pushed a degenerate Woke political and cultural agenda that normal people would consider, well, a degenerate Woke political and cultural agenda.

The Guardian, of course, Voice of the Crust, loves to use the word ‘ban’ illegitimately because it is their side’s ox being gored, and they believe that their readers are too stupid to realize what is going on.

California has passed two new bills protecting actors and performers against AI, in a potentially precedent-setting moment for tech legislation across the country.

While these largely overlap with the AI safeguards that SAG-AFTRA passed last year, the new laws not only bolster those existing protections but extend them to everyone in California — not just to people working in front of a camera in Hollywood, as IndieWire notes.

Together, the bills, which were passed by Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday, make it illegal to use an AI-generated digital replica of an actor’s likeness or voice — or technically, any Californian’s — without their explicit consent.

No, they weren’t passed by Newsom, they were passed by the state legislature and signed by Newsom. But I can understand how ‘journalists’ can confuse the two.

Will the movie/TV business leave California as a result? Let’s stay tuned.

The plan was born in 1997 when Princeton researchers Daniel Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs approached Costa Rican orange juice manufacturer Del Oro with a unique opportunity.

If Del Oro agreed to donate part of its land bordering the Guanacaste Conservation Area to the national park, the company would be allowed to dump its discarded orange peel at no cost on degraded land in the park.

The juice company agreed to the deal, and some 12,000 tonnes of waste orange peel carried by a convoy of 1,000 truckloads was unceremoniously dumped on virtually lifeless soils at the site.

The deluge of nutrient-rich organic waste had an almost instantaneous effect on the fertility of the land.

“[W]ithin about six months the orange peels had been converted from orange peels into this thick black loamy soil,” Treuer told Scientific American.

Win-win, right? Well, not exactly.

Despite this promising start, the conservation experiment wasn’t to last, after a rival juice manufacturer called TicoFruit sued Del Oro, alleging that its competitor had “defiled a national park”.

Costa Rica’s Supreme Court sided with TicoFruit, and the ambitious experiment was forced to end, which saw the site largely forgotten about for the next 15 years.

But no, we already had “traffic accidents,” so “traffic violence” is just an excuse for grifters to grift.

The first one doesn’t even deserve a response. But let’s consider the “language evolves!” defense.

This excrescence is, of course, modeled on the success of the trope ‘Gun Violence’, invented by the Woke to remove agency from the people who actually use the guns and place the blame on the guns themselves.

Locked display cases, the theft-prevention measure that makes shopping less grab-and-go and more wait-and-see, aim to prevent shoplifting, but a new survey suggests that particular solution might be worse than the problem.

Worse for whom? If people won’t buy stuff in locked cases, how are the retail stores worse off than if they steal stuff?

Upon discovering that an item they want to buy is in a locked case, less than one in three shoppers (32%) get a store employee to unlock the case, according to a reader survey from Consumer World, a consumer advocacy website. For 55% of respondents, it’s a lost sale, because when a product is locked up, they try to buy it elsewhere. The remaining 13% try to find an alternative product in the same store that is not locked up.

Good luck trying to buy it elsewhere in high-crime areas, from places who are probably also putting stuff in locked cases. Look, ‘locked cases’ are used for high-value easily grabbed-and-gone stuff, and changing the store doesn’t change the nature of the product. ‘Finding an alternative product’ means a product not as amenable to snatch-and-run, and the store still makes a sale.

The union representing thousands of striking Boeing workers has hit out at what the aircraft manufacturing giant called its “best and final” pay offer, which proposed a 30% rise over four years.
The new offer also included the reinstatement of a performance bonus and improved retirement benefits.
However, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) said the offer was not negotiated with the union and that “it was thrown at us without any discussion” – a claim Boeing denies.

And who could blame them? A Grievance Studies major hardly prepares one for the real world.

And a whopping six in 10 employers had already fired college graduates who were hired in 2024. One in seven said they might refrain from hiring new college grads next year as well.

Newsweek, of course, has no good advice to offer on fixing the problem, other than the usual hand-wringing about how hiring companies need to cut the kids some slack and do more training.

In the latest expression of China’s rapidly growing and modernizing naval power, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) recently, and for the first time, put three aircraft carriers to sea simultaneously. Of the three carriers involved in these activities, the Liaoning and the Shandong are by now well established with the Chinese fleet, while the Fujian, the country’s first domestically produced carrier, is still preparing for operational service. Ultimately, it’s expected to lead to more Chinese-made flattops as the PLAN continues to expand its naval aviation capabilities.

Publicly available data, collated below by journalist Ian Ellis, indicates that, as of last week, the Liaoning and its carrier group were operating in the Philippine Sea, with the Shandong and its carrier group just off Hainan Island. Meanwhile, the Fujian had already left Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai for another round of sea trials, with satellite imagery confirming that the three carriers were all sailing as of September 18. The carrier groups for the first two flattops each include at least four destroyers as well as a combat support vessel or frigate, very likely also accompanied by a hunter-killer submarine.

Vice President Kamala Harris says her running mate, Tim Walz, is going to help her “unify this country.” As governor of Minnesota, however, Walz explicitly divided people, holding training sessions for teachers and military veterans that were segregated by race, the Washington Free Beacon found.

Participants were explicitly divided by race, with the agency establishing a “People of Color Affinity Community” for “people who personally identify as Black People, Indigenous People and People of Color.” The agency advised “White Allies” to “attend other circle trainings.”

Many of us are probably aware of the outrageous actions of our federal law enforcement agencies against our citizens. There was the raid on the home of Roger Stone in 2021 in the early hours of the morning—it’s worth noting that Stone was an associate of Donald Trump. No one could reasonably explain why the raid of 30 armed men needed to arrive so early. Then there’s the 6:30 am raid of the home of pro-life activist Mark Houck when he was swarmed and arrested by two dozen armed agents; he was accused of pushing a pro-abortion activist at an abortion clinic who was harassing his 12-year-old son. His attorney had suggested that he voluntarily surrender, but the FBI refused. Four months later he was found not guilty.

But it seems that the government is prepared to murder people when events don’t go their way:

‘Culture’ is an unavoidably imprecise and slippery word, sometimes used to mean creative work of some kind – art, film, music – and sometimes something (even) broader. Here I’m using it mostly in the sense of the habits of behaviour and thought that we unconsciously acquire from our society or community. Culture is everything you don’t have to think about (until you do).

…

Roy argues that culture in the sense we have understood it is being inexorably eroded. It’s not, as some of his countrymen believe, that one culture is being replaced by another – say, Christianity by Islam. It’s that all culture is being hollowed out by technology, data, globalisation, bureaucracy, and consumerist individualism. Local cultures, in the sense of finely patterned, shared sensibilities, automatically absorbed and deeply felt, are no match for these bulldozing, ‘deculturating’ forces.

We still need shared norms of behaviour in order to function as societies, however. So in place of implicit culture, he says, we have introduced explicit “norms”: rules of behaviour and speech which aren’t felt or intuited but articulated, coded for, and argued over endlessly. Without instinctive standards for behaviour we have to thrash everything out, from the correct use of pronouns to how to behave on public transport or dress for work. “Culture war” implies some kind of profound division between people, but in truth, suggests Roy, our differences are shallow and petty and all the more bad-tempered for it. Scrape away culture and what you’re left with is negotiation. Everything is politics.

As Rabobank’s Michael Every adds, “US businesses could miss the key Black Friday/Cyber Monday peak sales period. Port trade is around $2.12trn, and 72% would grind to a halt, a one-day strike reportedly taking six days to recover from, a one-week strike in October creating bottlenecks until mid-November, not factoring in Red Sea disruptions caused by the not-terrorist Houthis.”

If goods are then forced to shift to the US West Coast ports, Rabobank speculates that Asia-US freight rates could leap to $20,000, far above the peak seen in the last supply-chain crisis. That would mean firms with low margins might opt not to import at all, creating empty shelves.

As traditional delivery methods contribute to urban traffic congestion and pollution, cargo bikes – a staple of bike-friendly countries like Denmark and the Netherlands – are becoming a common sight in cities across Europe as a sustainable and efficient alternative to vans.
These larger, typically electric bikes with separate carriers can transport a wide range of loads, from small parcels to larger items, making them ideal for urban deliveries.
In Europe, it is estimated that up to 50 per cent of motorised trips involving the transport of goods in cities could be made by cargo bikes and bicycles, according to a recent study.

Notice that the objection is not to the ‘loophole’, but to Republicans getting some sort of advantage from the ‘loophole’.

As tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have shot up to new highs, Israeli soldiers anticipating being deployed to the north are increasingly turning for help to the civilian donation efforts that have kept them stocked in Gaza.

Adi Vaxman, who heads the U.S.-based donation effort called Operation Israel, fields requests from individual soldiers and says demand has spiked in tandem with security developments involving Hezbollah.

“With the situation up north, the demand has tripled in the last few days,” Vaxman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency last week. She said the total requests by soldiers in September are on pace to reach double the roughly 15,000 requests from August.

Nothing illustrates the essential inferiority of dependence on the government than efforts such as these. There used to be a site, the link for which I long ago lost, where you could go online and pay for a pizza to be delivered to Israeli soldiers.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is considered the crown jewel of “public” broadcasting. All global journalism in English seeks to mimic it. That’s not a good thing, since it is rife with leftist bias, and on the Israel-Hamas war, it can be difficult to distinguish from Al-Jazeera.

At FoxNews.com, lawyer Trevor Asserson explained his research into anti-Israel bias, and how the BBC “flunks Journalism 101.” Like PBS and NPR in America, the BBC is legally obliged to produce impartial news. For this, it is rewarded with $5 billion a year by British taxpayers. (PBS and NPR surely envy that.)

Asserson and a team of about 20 lawyers and 20 data scientists used artificial intelligence to analyze nine million words from the BBC on TV, radio, podcasts, and social media, starting on October 7, 2023 — when Hamas slaughtered innocent Israeli citizens and others (including Americans).

The degradation of liberal education in America is anything but a niche public-policy concern.

Like all rights-protecting democracies – and especially as a 21st-century great power with globe-spanning interests – the United States requires a host of highly-trained individuals to keep its government functioning, military operating, economy churning, and civil society thriving. Essential men and women perform manual labor, offer basic services, and run small businesses. In addition, the nation needs physicists, chemists, and biologists; lawyers, doctors, and business executives; teachers, software engineers, and architects; journalists and civil servants; military officers, politicians, diplomats, judges, and religious leaders; and many more.

To acquire the professional skills necessary to fill key roles in America’s advanced industrial society, individuals must typically obtain a four-year college degree. Prestigious undergraduate programs, which incubate America’s highly credentialed elites, purport to offer the requisite professional training – or requisite introduction to professional training – within the framework of liberal education.
