9/11 Unity...

Political token Kamala Harris has called for "unity" on this 9/11. George Marshmallow Bush Jr. has condemned extremism both abroad and right here at home. Biden sniffed some hair and wandered off. Unity is a great message, but let me retort... you first. See, I have a brain and my brain remembers the following:

Islamic monsters kill 3,000 Americans in the name of Islam. The world is unified for about three days. We are all Americans now! Then...

Democrats start condemning Americans for being racist. Scream that this had nothing to do with Islam despite Islamists doing it in the name of Islam to bring about an Islamic state and this being one of 80,000 similar attacks every single year by Islamists in the name of Islam. Nope, it's racist to find a motive.

Nancy Pelosi does a tour of the Middle East promising to stop the evil, hateful Marshmallow Bush from racistly harming poor Arabs to appease white boys with pickup trucks. Anyone remember her visiting with the Iranians to stop Bush from bombing them? That happened. And think of the Democrats in Congress opposing everything because it was all just racism.

The left loses. its. shit. They start protesting everywhere - award shows, street corners, on the job, attacking conservatives in the streets, screaming that Bush wants to invade the Middle East to get their oil and kill brown people. Marshmallow stupidly tries to appease them and gets torn to shreds. The left openly calls for civil disobedience. Hollywood goes into full-on hate mode, turns out movies with American soldiers a villains. Fahrenheit 911.

The official left worries about phantom "racists" attacks on innocent Muslims everywhere. Tries to hide or disclaim terrorist attacks but plays up white nutjob shooters.

The left spreads conspiracy theories about 9/11, claiming it was THE JEWS or the CIA or Marshmallow. It was a controlled explosion! You can't melt steel with extreme heat and pressure!! Yes, you can dumbshits.

The left savages Bush because ghetto blacks refused to leave New Orleans before Katrina hit and then looted, shot and raped each other before the authorities could get there and stop them. "George Bush hates black people."

Rape Sarah Palin the f*cking r*tard b*tch!!!! I hope her sl*t daughter gets raped by a black guy! Herman Cain is a house n*gger!!! Micheal Steel is a house n*gger!

Obama gets elected: "elections have consequences" ... "this is the first time I've ever been proud of this country."

Obama's policies are anti-white, anti-male, anti-South, anti-heterosexual, and anti-religions-other-than-Islam. Van Johnson talks about moving pollution creating industries into white neighborhoods. His justice department declares that civil rights laws are not meant to protect whites. It invents "rape culture" at colleges.

Obama doesn't visit natural disasters in red states.

Occupy Wall Street screams antisemetic hate... rapes and kills at their hate camps. Yet, Democrats instead attack Tea Party as racist extremists for laying out clear policy guidelines about spending. I heard someone yell "N*gger" from the crowd at John Lewis! Are you sure they weren't talking about Herman Caine?

Some Hispanic loser kills a black teen and whites are to blame. Black thugs get killed by cops after drawing weapons and whites are accused of hunting blacks. Even black cops are part of white supremacy. "WE DEMAND POLICE CAMERAS!" Whoops, the cameras show blacks are lying... "POLICE CAMERAS ARE RACIST!"

Trump is elected, the left admits: "We've been calling all Republicans racist for so long that word's lost its power when we find a real racist." Funny how Trump's schtick was cool when he was a Democrat.

The left calls for "resistance". Abdanons friends who support Trump.

Cancel culture goes into high gear.

Metoo tries to create guilty upon allegation without proof, logic or timelimits. Funny how all the predators were liberals.

BLM stokes race hate worse than the KKK ever did. We want reparations and no more cops!

Leftist tech firms ban conservatives they don't like. Make themselves arbiters of truth.

The left screams about packing the Supreme Court because that pesky constitution stands in the way of their plans.

The left tries to destroy every piece of history: the flag, pledge of allegiance, every confederate statute and street name, Abraham Lincoln is a racist, George Washington

Antifa takes over cities and creates murder/chaos zones - kills blacks and burns buildings, but the cops are the bad guys. Murders through the roof... all that blood is on the left's hands.

Sure, the antivaxers are retards, but the left has gone full Nazi on vaccines. You will join us or you will be persona non grata... a nonperson... an infidel.

And that's just off the top of my head. This is the problem with leftist calls for unity. When leftists call for tolerance, they really mean "you will bend to my will." And the tools they use to force that range from insulting language to full-on terrorism. They will burn your city, cancel you professionally, abandon you as a friend, and make you legally a non-person with no rights. That's bullshit. That's Nazism. So you'll pardon me, Kamala, if I tell you to stick that call for unity up your ass.

Commentarama Right... Again

And Commentarama is right again. Here's an article from the left-leaning Guardian... weeks late, mind you... confirming what Commentarma readers already knew:

Despite media claims to the contrary, whites are not disappearing, they are actually growing as a percentage of the population. Whoops.

College Ball

There has been an interesting development in college football. This off-season the Big 12 was crippled when Texas and Oklahoma announced they would flee to the SEC. I'll tell you why everyone should have seen this coming... and what the Big 12 should do now.

"This is terrible!!" scream the sportswriters. Texas and Oklahoma's decision is "all about money!!" //vigorously wrings hands

Well, yes it is, but it's also your fault sportswriters. For years now, sportswriters have pushed obsessively for a national playoff for college football. They swore it would settle all arguments (as if that was a good thing) and wouldn't harm anything we love about college football. But it did. And that it would spoil things was obvious. In fact, I pointed it out: a playoff system changes how value is derived from college football... and that changes behavior.

Pre-playoffs, the value in college football was in beating your rivals and getting to a big name bowl game. That drove fan turn out, which drove ratings. That meant both ticket sales and national television contracts. To get into a great bowl game, every win mattered. The more you won, the better your bowl. So all games mattered. By going 11-0 Nobody State could actually end up in the Orange Bowl or Cotton Bowl. Also, by having cool rivalries and scheduling them on Thanksgiving or the last day of the year, or whatever, you got television coverage. Army v. Navy is the coolest game ever, even though neither team will ever be national champs. This meant any team could matter.

That's not true now. Once they created the playoffs, the definition of value changed. Now value is about getting into the plyoffs. Bowl games became irrelevant. Conferences because irrelevant, except to the extent they gave you a leg up getting into the playoffs. Rivalries? Who cares! All that matters to sportswriters and television is the playoffs. If you don't believe me, watch the coverage this year. Not an article will be written on a national platform about a team that cannot make it to the playoffs. And when teams unexpectedly climb into that category, all the articles about them will be whether or not they can make it and if they deserve to. What's more, the moment they can no longer make it, the articles stop. This is the world the playoffs created: only 10-20 teams matter.

In light of this, it makes total sense that teams like Texas would do what they did. In the Big 12, they had rivals and the ability to sell television contracts in Texas. But the SEC has much more to offer. The SEC pays bigger money, because its television contract is the best. SEC teams dominate the top 10. They dominate the playoffs. Sure, Clemson or Ohio State win the championship from time to time, but the SEC rules. And the reason they dominate is the money they get lets them build first rate facilities and hire the best coaches, and the notoriety of being in the SEC draws in the best athletes.

This is the consequence of these sportswriters pushing for a playoff. They can grouse all they want, but this is the natural response to what they did. This is their fault. They killed the bowl system. They devalued tradition. They made all but 10 teams irrelevant. This isn't over either. The ACC will eventually lose Florida State, Clemson and Miami to the SEC. Parts of the PAC 12 (e.g. USC, UCLA, Colorado, Washington, Oregon) will likely merge with the Big 10. Notre Dame will one day be forced to join one or the other. And everyone else gets second tier status. Sorry.


*****************

So now the proposal. What should the rest of the Big 12 do? They've just learned that they are second tier and nobody wants them. Even with sportswriters telling the PAC 12 and Big 10 to pick over their bones, no one wanted any. So should they all just quit? No. I have a plan that could turn the table and change everything: go BIG! Seek out others school on the basis of avoiding irrelevance and create a new Big 12 like this:

(1) Build four football divisions of about 6-8 teams each, leaving room for expansion. They would look like this ("#" means they were ranked in last three years):

East: Cincinnati(7), West Virginia(6), Central Florida(7), South Florida(21), East Carolina, Army(19), Navy(23)

Midwest: Iowa State(6), Kansas, Kansas State(16), Oklahoma State(6), Tulsa(18), Bowling Green, Memphis(15), Tulane

Texas: Baylor(7), TCU(15), Texas Tech(25), Houston(17), SMU(15), Rice, UTEP

West: Boise State(13), BYU(8), Colorado State, Utah State(14), San Diego State(24), Fresno State(16), Air Force Academy(22)

(2) To bolster the football teams, focus on creating an elite basketball conference. This will consist of two divisions of 16 and 20 teams, using the above and a few more who do not have football programs. Here, I would reach for elite or sentimental where possible:

East

Already in: West Virginia(2), Memphis(9), Iowa State(17), Cincinnati(20), Central Florida(25), South Florida, East Carolina, Army, Navy, Bowling Green, Tulane

Add: Villanova(1), Xavier(3), Butler(5), Seton Hall(8)

West

Already in: Kansas(1), Baylor(1), San Diego State(4), Houston(5), Texas Tech(6), TCU(10), Oklahoma State(11), SMU(11), Kansas State(12), BYU(14), Utah State(15), Colorado State, Rice, UTEP, Tulsa, Boise State, Fresno State, Air Force Academy

Add: Gonzaga(1), Creighton(7)

(3) Cut a deal with Amazon to stream games of the week for free as an Unlimited promotion and then sell the rest as an "all sports" package (you get football, basketball, and whatever else they want to show). I would do a Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday night game of the week - one from each conference. Sunday and Monday would compete with the NFL, but NFL games can be putrid at times and you can pick regions that aren't implicated in the NFL games that week.

Thank God For Biden

Thank God Biden is president. Without him, we would be in a real mess.

I mean, we might have out-of-control inflation. But Biden assures us the worst inflation in 30 years is only temporary. If it wasn't for that assurance, I would worry that we're repeating 1981 all over again. But that was 30 years ago, so no worries.

Biden killed that guy too, the one who helped plan the deaths of 13 Marines and 170 Afghans. Sure, the numbers seem skewed but he was a planner. He's the one who told that guy to wear a suicide vest and go where all the foreigners are huddle together. Without him, no one would have figured that out. I must say, I am satisfied. And it's not like Biden's total f-ups caused the situation either. Plus, it felt all machoee to hear his press chick look at the camera and tell us in firm, harsh language that Biden wants whoever is responsible for the nearly 200 deaths to no longer live on this earth. Oh, I feel all dirty, but in a good way.

... And yes, I'm sure this was the right guy. I mean, who else could it be? Besides, Biden would never lie. Plus, I'm sure he was clinging to life on earth rather than some fantasy land about virgins in paradise, so this was serious punishment. Yup, I am satisfied.

Biden stopped COVID too. I mean, there aren't more Americans in hospitals now than at any time during the pandemic, right? And ICU beds aren't filled to such a degree that non-Covid patients are dying from being turned away.

Plus, we cannot deny that he gave us comfort on the origins of Covid. They aren't sure if the Chinese made it or if some Chinese guy got it intercoursing a monkey, but Biden has concluded that even if the Chinese made it, they absolutely did not make it as part of a biological weapon. No siree, they made it as a party favor. I feel safer already.

At least he's asked questions like what Google was doing funding this lab... well, he may ask that question... someday.

He handled that Hurricane in Haiti well though. Doing nothing was just the trick. Just like in Tennessee. Some might say a President owes some attention to flooding victims but Biden says "f*k that."

At least he's protecting tenants... oops. I meant, keeping unemployment benefits going... uh. Would you believe lightening the load of college debt... for a select few?

The Europeans do love him. That's a fact... was a fact. Not so much now. Oh, and if you want to see Europe, go now. They're closing the borders for us again.

You know, I see your doubtful looks and all I can say is you are wrong. Biden killed a man and that's cool. He took an eye for 366 eyes. He made America sound tough and that's all that counts. The world shook. And so what if he went on vacation as Afghanistan burned. It's not like he played golf. He solved Covid outside of Florida. Stranding Europe in Afghanistan? Well, they shouldn't have been there in the first place! And Haiti? F*k Haiti, it's full of Haitians. Who needs that? Screw landlords and tenants too, they're all big corporations. Screw Europe too. As for Covid, it's only Trump supporters getting it, so screw them. And that guy with the monkey? He had it coming. Stop picking on Biden! Give him credit for the good things he's done. His son and wife died. Died! You can't criticize a man whose wife died! And his other son is a saint. A SAINT! Leave Biden alone. So he stages his press conferences and gets pissed when people ask him questions he didn't approve. And his VP is an incompetent cackler. Stop judging! It's hard enough just finding a way into the White House. And it's not like Biden has gotten to relax and sniff any women or children in months!

So just stop. Let the man be.

Update...

Just to update some recent things we've talked about:

RACE

Lots of minorities are posting gloating articles about the number of whites dropping and minorities slowing taking over. Ha ha whitey. But as I told you, the reality is quite different and they are about to be disappointed. I'm not alone in recognizing this either. Indeed, I'm seeing a steady beat of articles from black intellectuals ringing the panic bell. In particular, there are two strains of panic.

First and loudest, despite claims that the number of blacks went up, black intellectuals know this is not true and they are worried that blacks are not having enough babies and will lose political power. Their biggest worries are not enough babies and the rise of mixed-race blacks, who are not loyal blacks. So as I said, they want you to believe the lie for some reason.

Backing this up, by the way, are a growing number of articles about how the number of blacks has dropped dramatically in places like New York City and Chicago. Chicago lost 180,000 blacks between 2000 and 2010 and another 85,000 between 2010 and 2020. Hispanics, on the other hand, grew by about 40,000. This has flipped the racial makeup of the city to such a point that Chicago's 18-5 black to Hispanic aldermen ratio may actually flip entirely after redistricting.

“It’s absolutely going to get ugly. You’ve seen precipitous population loss in the African American community and you’ve seen some growth in the Latino community,” said Alderman Brendan Reilly, 42nd. “I think that both are going to come in with a head of steam, and they’re going to draw some pretty extreme maps.”

Good times.

Secondly, there is unease that to create the impression that whites are shrinking, the Census had to push the idea of separating Hispanics from whites. This may feel satisfying, but they know it's an illusion. In fact, interestingly, you might not remember this, but around the 2000 Census, the left was determined to remove any reference to Hispanic from the Census because they wanted to hide the issue of the number of Mexicans in the US. They thought that was going to get whites to eject illegals and so they tried to hide the issue. By the 2020 Census, however, they had become so convinced that they would control Hispanics that they wanted to highlight the number. But as I explained, that's an illusion too. The US is actually identifying more and more as white.

AFGHANISTAN

Wow. This just keeps getting worse. Biden obviously made a fool of himself saying in July that the Taliban would not take over. That was foolish. But now come the lies and disgraces. First, Biden lied to claim that no one told him the Afghan government might collapse. DOD, CIA and State have all denied that whopper. Second, Biden lied about consulting the Europeans, who are pissed he told them nothing and apparently still won't tell them anything. Third, Biden blamed this on Trump and the locals for not wanting to fight, when we basically knocked their legs out from under them. Fourth, Biden lied about our efforts to evacuate people. We've done nothing as the Euros went around and rescued people. He lied about people being able to get to the airport when the Taliban has stopped them. He lied about controlling the airport when the Taliban surround it. He lied about people dying at the airport when we have video showing them die. He lied about the number of jets and the number of people on them. This has been the most incompetent evacuation ever. He lied about why we had no plan to evacuate people, giving contradictory reasons why he had no plan in place and took no action. Then it gets even more despicable: Biden lied to coverup the fact we are abandoning the Afghan interpreters and others who helped us by claiming they didn't want to leave Afghanistan. EVERYONE involved says that's entirely false. He was also outed as having said "F*ck that! Nixon got away with it" when someone in Obama's administration told him we had a responsibility to help these people. Utterly shameful.

INFLATION

Like I mentioned, social security is looking at a 6% raise, which is an admission that inflation is likely 10%. But then they announced that they were raising welfare payments by 26%. Think about what that means.

TAXES

Biden is planning to hike taxes on small business. He's going to give rich people a break though by trying to make their state taxes deductible again. This is aimed at subsidizing high tax liberal states like New York and California and 90% of it will go to the genuinely rich.

yay liberalism...

Something Is Wrong In America

Something has definitely gone wrong in America these days, and I'm not even talking politics. I'm just speaking on a personal level. It seems the world is suddenly full of the worst kind of narcissists, losers, whiners and malingerers. A perfect example of this is this guy:

What bothers me about this inbred motherf*cker is that there are a whole army of this guy roaming the streets of Colorado Springs compensating for their tiny dicks by driving these exact same pickup trucks, trying to make themselves feel like men by terrorizing children in crosswalks, throwing crap at athletes at sporting events from afar, and screaming at defenseless employees that they ain't wearing no mask... always lashing out at a target chosen carefully for their inability to fight back.

These guys are the definition of cowards. They desperately need to bully others to prove their manhood, but they lack the physical and mental prowess to do it, because they are small and weak and stupid and pointless -- and frankly, if you have to prove your manhood, then you don't have it in the first place. So they hide behind machines to compensate... small-dicked cowards in pickup trucks... pointless loses with guns who shoot up schools... pathetic loners trolling the internet... nasty sheep pushing intolerant tolerance to control from afar.

In the past, these beer-bellied goat-f*ckers were shunned by society and busted by the cops when they picked fights at strip clubs or got caught masturbating behind the dumpster. Now, it seems that banks are lending them money to let them move out of the trailer park, country music and talk radio glorify their idiocy, and the world is a worse place because of them.

These subhumans aren't the only problem in American society, far from it, but they are the model of what has gone wrong with this country. The rugged, educated individualist has turned into the whiny, retarded, compensating bully.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan. The "Graveyard of Empires." Let's talk about Afghanistan. I have several thoughts.

First... the Afghan government and military have collapsed. They weren't even beaten on the field, they just evaporated as institutions once we left. Who could have predicted that, right? Well, I did. This quote is from me in 2009 at this very blog:

There is nothing about Afghanistan (or anywhere else in the world) that tells me that democracy can be imposed by outsiders where it does not have strong roots already. Their culture is destructive and is simply not suited for any form of cooperative government. Yes, we can create a pretend democracy as long as we occupy the country. But the moment we leave, they will revert to their natural instincts. Thus, our plans to create a stable Afghanistan by imposing a democracy on these people are doomed to fail. The moment we leave, everything will evaporate.

So I was right. Afghanistan is not a country, it's a cluster of ethnic tribes with no common ground. Nor are they civilized. They are not a people who grasp the value of peaceful coexistence, civil and legal rights, and all the things which have made the West a success, and they will never defend those things. The idea that we could unite them into a country was always foolish. And that proved true.

Secondly... the fact these people won't even stand up for themselves is the most damning bit of evidence we never should have been there. And somehow, no one noticed in the past 20 years and $100 billion. Why not?

Third... Biden made the right call leaving. Yup. Just as we never should have gone in, we should not have stayed. It makes no sense to lose one single precious American life to try to maintain the fiction that this is a country worth "protecting." That was New World Order hubris. And honestly, you need to doubt the judgment or integrity of anyone telling you that we needed to stay. If we couldn't turn them into a functioning country willing to defend themselves in TWENTY year, it was never going to happen. We were wasting time, money and lives. I feel bad for everyone who was injured or killed in this cause and I feel bad for everyone in Afghanistan who helped us and will now suffer, but this did need to end and it was never going to end in victory. So I do give Biden credit for having the nerve to pull the plug.

Fourth... THAT SAID, Biden is a fool who really botched this. Just like the Democrats screwed up our exit in Vietnam by cutting all funding for the fledgling South Vietnam government, Biden screwed this up by fleeing. An orderly exit could have been achieved if someone other than the New World Order types had done the thinking. Cutting this up into smaller, defensible countries, handing them off to ethnically related neighbors, and building the military into sustainable militias would have prevented the collapse... but flies in the face of NWO dreams.

Fifth... Biden trying to blame this debacle on Trump is despicable. You botched this, sir. You alone are responsible for the clusterf*ck that ensued.

Sixth... Biden blaming Trump won't work either. Trump had no hand in this, it was all Biden and that's obvious. What's more, the MSM isn't in the most forgiving mood anymore regarding Biden. His failures and disgraces are piling up and the writing is on the wall; it's time for the MSM to look for a new hero. As an aside, as his disasters pile up, Biden is giving Jimmy Carter a run for his money as worst president ever.

Seventh... from a technical standpoint, the failure on this is interesting. First, you have the moral and cultural failures I've addressed. But there's an interesting judgment failure here too. As warlords, they had stood up well to the Taliban, so why did they fall apart at the word "boo" here? Well, it turns out that when the NWO types rebuilt the Afghan Army, they built it along Western lines, with the idea of huge supply chains, just in time delivery of ammo and food, massive air support, and paperwork galore. A dirt poor sh*thole country could not continue that supply chain and had no air force, which left their troops without support, food, ammo or medical help. Twenty years of building and the "experts" built it along the wrong model.

Eighth... the NWO types want us to worry that this leaves the US vulnerable, but will it? I don't think so. First, no one doubts the US will go to war quite easily. So don't expect any state actors to get (more) uppity. On the other hand, you might think this will discourage people from working with us, right? Except what the Taliban is about to do to the Afghan people will scare everyone else worldwide into accepting US help if it's offered. This will be the Khmer Rouge all over again.

Ninth... finally, I think it's important to note that once again, we made the mistake here of joining a civil war. We came in to get Al Queda and we ended up picking a fight with the Taliban. They are two different groups. And as sh*tty as the Taliban are, they are just the other side of the same coin of the other ethnic groups, and by fighting them, we picked sides in a civil war. If the goal was Al Queda, that's who we should have gotten and then left. Fighting the Taliban was deciding to become king makers... and you can't impose a king from outside.

Why Lie?

So the last few days I explained why ALL the headlines and conventional wisdom about the Census data are provably wrong (make sure you read my comments). Twenty million whites have not died off. The black population is shrinking, not growing. Hispanics are growing, but there are two types of Hispanics and most of them identify as white. Whites are not and will not become a minority. The majority of kids are not browns. Etc. This stuff is super easy to verify, yet everyone is running around repeating these bizarrely false claims. Why?

All told, I would say the left has three reasons why they would lie about this. Talk radio has one. Talk radio wants to scare you into continuing to listen: stay afraid... stay afraid... buy my book! The left's rational is more complicated. The left has been promising a racial takeover of the United States for decades now. You would think it would be bad to keep making this promise if it isn't true or can easily be debunked. But then, human nature tells us otherwise because few people are genuinely rational. Here are the reasons the left is lying:

(1) Scare The Opposition: By beating this drum, the left gets many on the right and in the center to cower in fear of the coming brownpocalyse. This does several things. It gets many to surrender and try appeasement: i.e. if they will soon be the majority, we better do things to earn their good graces now. A similar line of reasoning would keep these people from fighting too hard in the hopes of some sort of truce in the future: i.e. I didn't mess with you then, remember, so don't mess with me now. Then there is the aspect of demoralization. This is similar to the first two, but it leads to a kind of inaction because of the sense of futility: i.e. why bother doing anything, there's nothing we can do. Finally, there's a kind of dastardly idea, which is this might encourage a certain set to act out against brown people and thereby help make the sales pitch that whites are racist easier to sell to browns.

(2) Groupthink: Leftists don't need to be right, ever, to keep their followers following them. Their followers excel at cognitive dissonance and disavowing their own actions. By continuing to beat this drum, they keep these leftists in line by promising a glorious socialist future a-comin' if they can only hang on long enough for browns to breed themselves into the majority... have faith, the promised land is almost here. There's little danger of their collectives figuring out the truth either. Consider that the left has kept the anti-gun nuts, the environmental nuts, the feminists, the gays, the race baiters, etc. all on the hook with promises the left repeatedly goes out of its way to never fulfill, lest these groups get satisfied and leave. They will accept this version of Paradise Coming as well.

(3) Leftist Browns: These people know the score. They've seen the numbers. They know the Democrats have realized brown-power-America is not coming. Yet, the image of brown-power-America coming is useful to them for reasons 1 and 2 above. They can use it to drive a hard bargain with moderates and surrenderists to get things now on credit in the false believe that one day they will be the ruling class. They can simultaneously use it to keep their weak-minded collectives in line.

There's something else too though. I think there is another reason this group keeps this fantasy going: they want it to be true. You see this all the time with humans, where we act according to things we wish would come true even though a reasonable assessment tells us it will never happen. We buy things we can't afford in the hope of an unrealistic pay raise or stock market win. We buy lottery tickets. We buy clothes that don't fit in the hope that if we can just lose those last 40 pounds, they will soon fit. Human beings are terrible at living in reality... we live in hope for fantasy. They know better though, right? Yeah, but when you live in a big city surrounded by nothing but blacks and Hispanics and your television is full of them, it's not so hard to believe that despite the numbers maybe it is really happening. That's called drinking the KoolAid. Add in a slew of professors and activists who tell us that minorities are always under-counted or if you squint at the data it looks kind of like something other than what it is, and it's easy to slip into fantasy. As a lawyer, I see this with clients all the time.

All told, what you are seeing is a lie, and the people telling it either know it is a lie or can figure it out in seconds if they bother to look, but it fits a narrative that does a whole lot of things they like and they kind of want it to be true, so they keep telling it.

The End of White America?

'Twenty years ago if you told people this was going to be the case, they wouldn't have believed you,' said William Frey, demographer at the leftwing Brookings Institution. 'The country is changing dramatically.'

That's a lie. No one would have doubted it. To the contrary, that's been the left's strategy since the late 1980s. It won't happen either. Why? There's something wrong in the numbers. Let's discuss.

The left has been playing the minority strategy for some time. They believed that one day soon, American demographics would shift so that whites, while still the majority group, would be less than 50% of the population - what they call a minority-majority state. And the left believed that if they could band together all the browns, then they could take over from the whites. To their glee, it was predicted that by 2020, America would reach the point where browns would outnumber whites, then they would take over! Mwooo hoo ha ha! Only, it didn't happen. Huh. //scratches head So they moved the date back. It will happen in 2025, 2030, 2035, 2041!!!

But will it happen? No.

What they didn't realize is that Hispanics stop having babies in the numbers they do as peasants in Guatalashithole when they move here. Even Mexico has gone this route now and is far below replacement level (I told you about this when the blog started). So every census, they keep moving back the takeover date... and they'll move it again because it will never happen. Let's look at the numbers.

According the news reports on the Census report, blacks "stayed steady" at 12.5% of the population. Good for them, but it's not true. Hispanics are now "almost 20%," ok, we'll see. Asians are around 6%. Pacific Islanders are 1.5% and whites "could dip below 60%."

Really?

Blacks first. "Blacks" stayed steady at 12.5%, right? Not quite. 8% of blacks are actually mixed with Asians or whites. 5% of blacks are Hispanic blacks. This means that 13% of blacks are mixed, and mixed is not the same as Black. I'll talk about that another day, but just accept that blacks are shrinking. While the claim is they are holding steady, they are actually down 13%. For now, let's not worry about this, but it will matter. Trust me on this.

Whites. If you do the math above, you get around 60% whites, which makes the media giddy. But when you look at the number of people reporting as "white," it's actually 73%. The reason for this is that Hispanics, except for black-Hispanics, are actually white people. So is it fair to count them as whites?

Well, that depends on what generation they are. 77% of Hispanics are third generation Hispanics. This means that their parents were born in the US and they were born in the US. That's actually higher than non-Hispanic whites. A full 95% of this group speaks English, not Spanish. They give their kids Anglo names, not Hispanic names. And marketing groups are frustrated by their inability to reach them. They describe them as people who are proud of their Hispanic heritage but identify as Americans and are proud of being Americans. They feel that marketers do not understand them because they want to be reached as Americans, not Hispanics. Said differently, they don't identify as Hispanics and that makes it hard for marketers to reach them.

Moreover, the big headline you will hear pounded at you is how whites shrank for the first time. Oh my. But the reason for that is that during Covid, Millenians stopped building families. They will take up again in a year or so and we will face a white baby boom, which will offset these last couple years.

Anyways, back to Hispanics. Considering the third generation issue is important. Hispanics are listed as "around 20%" though they are really only 18.5%. That means that 14.2% points of the 18.5% "Hispanic population" are actually third generation, or whites with Hispanic heritage who identify as whites. Add those to whites and you suddenly get the following:

61.7% Whites
14.2% White with Hispanic Heritage
4.3% Hispanics
10.9% Blacks
1.6% Mixed Race Blacks
5.8% Asians
1.5% Pacific Islanders

So, whites are actually 75.9%. Blacks are 10.9%. Asians are 5.8%. Hispanic-Hispanics are 4.3%. What's more, as Hispanics live here, they become more white until they blur into the white population. I honestly don't think whites will ever fall below 70% based on this. (Why does it seem there are so many? They cluster in Texas and California.)

Even worse for the Democrats, Asians are more white than whites and are slowing becoming full Republicans (they will take over the California Republican Party actually). Hispanics become the same as white as they become third generation, which means they become Republicans. There are signs that black males are starting to break from the Democrats because of their shift to white women as their power base. And then there's the mixed race danger I will talk about later. The end result is the total collapse of the demographic strategy.

This is why the Democrats went into such a panic after the last election, because they realized that (1) minorities will not take over as the majority as the Democrats assumed when they looked at immigrant birth rates and assumed that was normal for Hispanics, and (2) everyone except blacks proved to be more Republican than expected.

Talk radio will blast you with: white people are about to be outnumbered by the brown hoards!!! Cower in fear and buy my newsletter! But it's not true.

It's 1980 All Over Again

Do you remember the early 1980s? I do. It was an odd time. Right before Reagan's policies kicked in and saved the United States, we hit a period of inflation that was both strange and unprecedented. Almost overnight, everything doubled in expense. Seemingly without anyone noticing, everything changed and a new normal appeared and everybody acted like nothing had happened. I think we're going through that again.

Normal inflation is a couple percentage points a year. What was $1 this year becomes $1.03 next year and $1.08 the next. Ho hum. In a bad year, $1 become $1.25 and people complain. In the 1930s in Germany, inflation was insane and 1 deutschmark became 10,000 overnight... and the system collapsed. But in the 1970s, something stranger happened. Overnight, $1 became $3 and no one noticed. The price of a cheap car went from $3,000 to $15,000 within months. Middle class houses went from $80,000 to $200,000. Food items went from $0.10 to $0.99. And then inflation stopped. Even stranger, nobody noticed. Everyone just took it as the new normal and moved on with the new numbers as if these had always been the prices for things.

Part of the reason no one cared was that wages went up with the change in prices. In fact, wages doubled from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s and Reagan created massive numbers of new high-paying jobs (like defense jobs) which took people to new income brackets. Still, it was funny not to hear people in shock about what X cost only a few months ago. I think the effect ultimately was what you see when people come into money: they stop caring what things cost. With everyone suddenly richer, they didn't care that everything was no more expensive.

I think we're in that kind of moment again. Housing prices have doubled in the past half-decade with a 25% rise last year alone. Food has more than doubled. Everything is getting crazy expensive. How expensive? Consider the Big Max index, my favorite indicator of inflation between countries. The Big Mac index assumes that McDonalds does three things: (1) sources locally, (2) obtains goods and supplies from a broad cross-section of society, and (3) drives vicious bargains. Thus, what it pays is a good indication of what living costs locally. And what it charges between countries is a great comparison of the actual cost of things. Thus, you can find out what a currency is really worth by comparing the prices of Big Macs in the different countries.

This works just as well looking backwards in time as it does across countries. The cost of a Big Mac meal was around $7 just 5-7 years ago. Now it's $11. Expect it to be $12-13 by the end of the year. If the $15 minimum wage hits, expect McDonalds to add another $1-$3 surchage. That's basically a doubling. And don't forget about shrinkflation. The media has finally discovered this, that products are getting smaller but being kept in the same packages even as prices rise. That means inflation is even worse than the dollars indicate. (As an aside, I'm pretty sure McDonalds has cut 1-3 ounces out of their drinks, which works out to tens of millions of ounces saved a day.)

People are noticing the inflation and the shrinkflation (though less so) but no one seems to realize the scope. The government is taking about 6%. Most people talk about 1-2 items in isolaton. But few have put it all together. The entire US market just jumped up double what it had been.

Now comes the catch... salaries have not kept up.

Liberals have been pushing the $15 minimum wage, but that only affects a tiny number of people and no one above them is getting pushed up equally. Lots of good liberals are quite pissed to find out that their teenagers are suddenly making nearly as much as they are after decades of work. People I know at big established firms are getting the usual 3-4%. Social Security might get as high as 6%.

That 6% is a catch too. Because the government says there is 6% inflation, few companies will give more than that as a cost of living raise, even if the real number is 200%. This is bad. Why?

First, it means that workers get screwed. Your real wages are about to get crushed because your raise will never keep up with inflation. Sure, your company will be more competitive because you just got cheaper, but you are the one paying for their luck.

Secondly, this means that things like investments and loans are all priced wrong and if you end up on the wrong side, you will get destroyed. If you own a long term investment, it probably just lost a lot of value.

Third, it means everyone's standard of living is about to drop as things become massively more expensive. Middle and lower middle class wages will not be able to buy homes.

Fourth, it means retirees are going to get crushed.

Fifth, it means we all need to rethink the cost of things. It means we need to adjust mentally to what things should cost, what is too much, and what is not too much. It means not knowing what you can really afford at the moment. It makes budgetting super hard -- it's going to be a bit like going to a foreign country where the prices seem all right until you realize that the currency difference make them all kind of screwy and you don't really know if you're being raped or not.

RIP Cleveland Indians

I find liberal solutions interesting. Retarded... but interesting.

This time, liberals have gotten their collective outrage in a twist over the use of Indian names by sports teams. Apparently, naming your team after something like a red man is meant to ridicule those same things. Take that Jets, Tigers and Boilermakers! Hence, it is offensive that a team might be named the Indians or the Eskimos or some such thing, and those names must go. Thus, the Cleveland Indians have succumbed and will henceforth be known as the Cleveland Aunt Jemimas (No word on changing the Jets yet).

Welcome to liberal land. Not only have they completely misunderstood the point to naming a team after something -- for the record, it is meant to honor that thing -- but their solution is, shall we say, hilarious. How so? Well, for the past decade liberals have been going around the country (and Canada) in the name of protecting red people from the humiliation of being honored by sports teams and have been demanding their names be removed where found. Said differently, in the name of falsehood-based outrage, liberal whites are systematically wiping out any trace of Indians from our culture. //snicker snicker

If they are diligent, within a few years, there will be no traces left of the people who were here when whites showed up and VD'd them to death. Nice work, liberals.

Similarly, with this cultural appropriations crap, liberals are slowly making sure that non-European ideas will be ghetto-tized in minority communities far and away from mainstream culture.

Putting all of this together makes me wonder: are liberals intentionally trying to eradicate minority cultures or is this just a byproduct of their smugness? I'm kind of liking the idea that liberals are secretly (well, not so secretly actually) huge pushers of white power and cultural genocide. I mean, they are trying to keep non-European culture out, eliminate any cultural reference to brown people, scare blacks into segregation and economic doom, and encourage abortion in a way which has wiped out vastly more minorities than whites. Add the fact that their policies have only one logical conclusion: making whites and blacks turn on each other, and you have a game plan the KKK would be proud of... brought to you by the likes of AOC.

Fascinating times.

As an aside, I don't really care about Cleveland changing their name because baseball sucks and is dying a miserable death to which I am utterly indifferent. I just think it's funny that they are being used to wipe out "native Americans" for a second time.

How Dare You Achieve, Sir!

I'm back. I went to Grenada the past two weeks. It was great to be in a land where people truly appreciate Ronald Reagan and what America stands for. Plus, it was a fantastic and well needed vacation. Anyways, a quick thought tonight on Jeff Bezos.

First, this is an exciting time for space science. For the first time in decades (since the first shuttle launch really) we are making giant strides forwards. This is how we get to the future - dreamers doing it themselves rather than relying on the government to get off its sclerotic rear.

Yet... the left is all up in arms. Apparently, Bezos is rich (as was Branson) and it's horrible that rich people get to do things "others" don't get to. Wah. Insert pro forma environmentalist and racist whine as well.

What a jealous, spiteful little group of sh*ts the left has become. So it isn't the achievement that matters to them... it must be the right person who achieves. And that person cannot be rich (unless we like them), and they better not be white and male and dating a woman in expensive clothes (uh why did this petty detail matter at all?) and anti-union. Oh no. Moreover, the achievement must be done in a "representative" way with all the right numbers of blacks and women and gays and God-knows-whats.

You know what? Go pound sand. The reason it was Bezos and not you, idiots, is because he's achieved things in life. You haven't. As you've whined into your keyboard about how unfair it is that other people have more things than you, he was remaking the world. When you were mis-educating yourselves, he was educating himself. When you were living on student loans and your parents, he was out there taking chances. As you've spent your days building awareness of lies and spewing malice, he's been helping millions build their futures. Have any of you ever produced anything? No. Have any of you ever hired anyone? Ha. Hardly. Have any of you ever sold millions of people the things they need at the best prices available? I didn't think so. And the reason he managed to do what he did -- what you could never do -- is that he hired good people who could pull this off rather than a rainbow of people like you whose only "skill" is being a pretend victim, and he dared to dream of the future. This was the future. You... you have no future.

More Liberal Dipsh*ttery

My brain hurts. The lies and delusion are killing me. To quote Dodgeball, watching liberals in the news these days is like watching a bunch of retards humping a doorknob.

● Humper number one is Scarlett Johansson. She's trying to sell the Black Widow movie as about "women's empowerment." Try not to laugh. To fully understand how utterly ridiculous this is, realize that Black Widow was created in the image of a jerk off fantasy. She's the Russian version of the Nazi dominatrix you saw from time to time in 1950s porn, or like Wonder Woman who was created by a bondage enthusiast. She's hyper-sexualized and uses sex as her primary weapon. In the films Johansson has worn sleazy leather catsuits, used sex as a weapon, surrounded herself with bondage imagery, spewed innuendo, and slept her way around the Avengers. People took note.

To counter this image, busty Scarlett and Marvel decided to do what Hollwood always does: lie. When word gets out that you are rock stupid (Swank, Silverstone), your agent starts planting stories of how brilliant you are. When word gets out that you're an abusive sh*t who mistreats waiters and makeup people (Hathaway), they plant stories about how kind you are. Don't give to charity (Hemsworth), stories appear praising your generosity. And so on. (Corporations do this too.)

So busty Scarlett started talking about how the character started that way, but she worked tirelessly to make sure it wasn't that. Having laid that groundwork (no pun intended), she's now claiming that this film isn't some jerk off fantasy, no, it's about women's empowerment. This is such crap. This is the same way the girlies in the Resident Evil franchise claimed their film was about presenting strong women... in fetish gear who found themselves in rape fantasies.

Let me help these "strong women", because they clearly don't get it. If you are dressed in a low-cut leather catsuit like you belong in a bondage magazine or a porno. If your weapon of choice involves something that looks like sex or uses sex to attract the bad guy. If your lines are meant to arouse. You aren't doing women's empowerment.

● Humper two: Julianne Moore claims that it's "totally sexist" to tell a woman that she's "aging gracefully." After all, she whines, “Is there an ungraceful way to age? We don’t have an option of course. No one has an option about aging, so it’s not a positive or a negative thing, it just is.” Well, girlfriend, yes... yes there are ways not to age gracefully. Take for example, that certain set of women, like in your profession, who try desperately to hold back time through plastic surgery and drinking their own urine. Talk to Gweneth Platrow about weird-ass sh*t to avoid looking old. Then there are women who age hypocritically, like Salma Hayek, who is upset that Hollywood favors sexy young things... she didn't complaint when it worked in her favor. Then there are those like Madonna, who act like sluts, which gets really gross(er) as you age. And of course, there are those who fall into the category of "bar fly." You know the type. There's nothing graceful about any of their aging.

As an aside, this term also gets use against men, so claiming it's sexist when used against women is frankly stupid. Stupidity is never graceful.

● Humper three: Fake-black singer Bebe Rhexa (she's actually Albanian and people aren't happy as they catch on) posted booty shots of herself and started screaming that she weighs 162 pounds and we need to "normalize" that so young girls know it's ok to be that fat. Only, 162 is not fat. It might be a little husky depending on your frame, but the only people who view 162 as fat are the liberal women and gay men of the fashion industry and Hollywood starlets. Everyone else kind of takes that as the normal range. Way to invent a cause that's not really a cause!

● Then we have this. People are upset that the producer of a lot of Disney kids shows snuck foot fetish moments into those shows. How dare he! The horror! Of course, it's cool when they include gay or trans messages, so I don't really see how they can judge this guy. How do we decide one version of perversion is cool and another isn't?

● Bill Cosby is free. How can a man who admitted raping a bunch of women be released from jail? A technicality. The same type of technicality that liberal woman have been demanding be part of the system since forever. Now it works against them and they are aghast. Ah, the liberal fantasy: the abuses of power I like will only be used against people I don't like.

More Evidence The World Has Lost Perspective

A woman holds up a sign. She is an idiot for sure. She is a camera hog... but less so than those on reality TV or in politics. She holds the sign out six inches too far. She causes a bike rider to fall, leading to the most hilarious crash at the Tour de France. Every rider down. //snicker snicker One is too banged up to continue //shrugs shoulders

Now things get weird.

The WORLD reacts with horror. HORROR! Calls go out to GET HER!! France begins a (wo)manhunt. Germans begins a (wo)manhunt. Millions of dollars spent to find this woman. News articles "written" about what for a villain she it. UNACCEPTABLE! HOW FARE SHE!! MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HER! The Tour surgeon likens this crash to a battlefield saying he's never seen this level of "breakage" and "bodies everywhere." (Sleepovers must give this moron PTSD... the bodies... the band-aids...)

Now consider:

A man walks into a bar/office/church/whatever. He screams something about Allah. He blows the place up killing hundreds.

The world sighs. The media tells us not to judge. He has rights. He wasn't speaking for what he was speaking for. Sure, those people are dead, but sh*t happens. For the love of God, don't do anything to punish anyone for this.

Does this strike anyone as backward? Serious. How crazy is to excuse random violence and want to hunt down someone who actually did nothing wrong but was a little careless?

Too bad for her that her sign didn't read allah akbar or black lives matter. Then she would have been safe.

Racist... Is the New, uh, Black

Everything is racist! Well, not really, but it is oh so fashionable to claim things are racist. It's the newest form of low-IQ liberals and African-Americans trying to show their smarts and mistaking cynical verbal semantics for truth. Or maybe they're just so psychologically damaged by their failures and inadequacies that they need to invent plots against them to make them feel important and explain away their incompetence? //shrugs shoulders Probably both.

Anyhoo, this week saw us treated to some wonderful examples of WTF-thinking by a group of utter utter morons on the issue of race. In fact, I hate to even call it "thinking," because it bares scant resemblance to actual human brain activity, but it is technically thinking. What seems to be going on is that fools and dipsh*ts have struck upon the idea that anything that can be connected to blacks must be racist. Hence:

● A group of idiots (let's call them black/liberals or BLIBs for short) really are combing the world of astronomy looking for ways that those bigoted stargazers have tried to insult black people. Take for example the term "black hole". This can't possibly be descriptive for a phenomenon where all light gets sucked into a heavy gravitational object creating a black hole in space. No. This must be an attempt to insult blacks... somehow. Maybe it's the bigoted astronomer version of a yo-mama-so-fat joke? Who knows, but it has "black" in it and that's racist. So these BLIBs want the term changed and they want every other racist term changed too. And don't worry, they're find more no matter how creative they need to get. Might I suggest naming the planets after white Greeks is racist. They should pick African names like LaSaturn and Fat Albert.

● A college BLIB is banning offensive terms like "picnic." This particular bit of idiocy comes from an urban legend that the term derives from Southern racists "picking a n*gger" and hanging them. Ha ha ha. Stupid. It actually derives from a German word from the 1700s. Hilariously, they are also banning the word "trigger" (as in "people with other opinions trigger me") because of trigger's association with guns. I guess the snowflakes will need to find a less violent way now to say they are being emotionally aroused. May I suggest "masturbate" (as in "anything I don't like masturbates me")?

● According to some BLIBs, car accidents are racist because blacks are more likely to die in them. Now, to be fair, I do know that whenever I have a car accident, I always steer at the nearest black person, but that's just me. But so, yeah, probably racist. Couldn't be that blacks drive too fast and too aggressively (in conformance with the dictates of machismo ghetto culture)... nope. Couldn't be they drive shitty, unsafe cars... nope. Nope, must be racism. I'll bet the very laws of physics are racist.

● Blacks are also 3 times more likely than other races to head to the ER after a car accident. That's the result of racism too, though the BLIBs hadn't yet worked out how that's racist at the time I read the article. They just know it's racist in their sickly little hearts because it makes blacks different.

As an aside, this kind of puts to lie the idea that blacks don't trust racist doctors, which is the reason given for blacks not getting vaccinated. Strange. I wonder how racism stops them from getting vaccinated if it's not racist doctors?

Then there's my personal favorite:

● In a book sponsored by Bill Gates's foundation about ending racism is math, Bill's BLIPs actually claim that teaching that math has right answers is "reinforcing white supremacy." Seriously. Weeeeell, let me tell you what promotes white supremacy, Bill. Teaching young black kids how not to do math is a guarantee that those black kids end up stupid and unqualified to enter high paying professions. In fact, your little book should probably be called "The KKK-Gates Method For Keeping Blacks Out of STEM."

I wonder when they'll figure out that teaching critical race theory is teaching black kids that (1) they shouldn't bother with education or effort and (2) their futures rely on white largess? Great values... if you're training future slaves.

Finally, there's this from the world of irony:

● Apparently, blacks are whining that Chauvin only got 22.5 years, which in modern judicial slang probably means 6 years is my guess. The thing is, the reason he only got that, and the reason he will get out in much less than 22.5 years is that the same people who are whining about his light sentence are the very people who have been working for decades to make sure that all sentences are light so young black boys don't spend their lives in jail just for killing each other. Sucks to see vicious people get off easy, doesn't it?

● Then there's basketball's Jalen Rose, who is upset that a white basketball player was selected for the American Olympic team. He's calling the selection "tokenism." Probably true. But for a black person to whine about the token selection of someone of another race is the height of hypocrisy. Vast swaths of black "success" are tokenism. Did you really think that every movie and every television show has a black person in it for creative reasons? Did you really think there just happens to be one perfectly qualified black person available for every committee that gets formed? Ha... hahahahaha. That's cute, Jalen.

Now let me ask you something, Jalen. The same way you look at Kevin Love and disrespect him and realize that he's not there because he earned it... does that help your view of whites as basketball players? No? Really? Then do you think demanding token black representation has helped anyone's view of blacks? Or is there perhaps a lesson here? Maybe respect is only built by earning what you get? And maybe if you want people to respect you... you need to earn it?

"We've Been Through The Wringer Together"

Oh F-you. This quote came from an article I saw today whining about how bad COVID was and being 'thankful' that things were finally getting back to normal: "we've been through the wringer together." WTF? Can anyone with a brain seriously think COVID was "the wringer"? Do you really think so? Did it take you to the brink? Could you almost take no more? Then you are a loser and you need perspective.

Do you know who has been through the wringer? Jews. Remember the Holocaust when Germans rounded them up throughout Europe, stealing all their property, and putting them in camps where they were starved, medically experimented on, had their filling removed, and were then murdered. That's going through the wringer. Did ANY of that happen to us over the past year? Nope. We worked from home and got free money from the government.

Africans. They've been through the wringer. Aside from killing each other for sport, country after country there has gone through starvation. Remember the starving kids of Ethiopia and Somalia? Sally Struthers. How about the Germans after WWII? They had no food at all until the American brought them some in their bombed out cities. How do you feel about unsealing basements day after day and finding asphyxiated neighbors? A little tougher than a slow internet, isn't it? How about the ten million Ukrainian peasants who starved while the food system 'upgraded' from serfdom to Soviet serfdom in the 1930s. Did ANY of that happen to us over the past year? Nope. They didn't even close the drive throughs.

But there was the terrible specter of disease. Really? How many people do you know who died? The black death killed around 60% of the population of Europe. Imagine two of three of everyone you know turning black and dying right in front of you. The black death might have killed as many as 200 million people, two-thirds of the entire population of the US today. Don't give me this crap about living in the shadow of death from COVID.

Anything else was self-inflicted. We made us stay home. We made us social distance. We made us wear masks. And lets put these "horrors" in perspective. In World War II, we bombed Europe flat. In China, they killed each other with pitchforks to the toon of 60 million people. In Rwanda, they macheted each other to death. In Saudi Arabia, they enforce social distancing every day, and veils. In China, they still use death camps. We have the term Martial Law because it's so common that every country goes through it: No public meetings. No leaving your home without papers. No radio. No television. No twitter. Not one person was rounded up in the US for being retard about COVID or speaking stupidly to power.

But neighbor turned on neighbor over vaccinations and social distancing and wearing masks. Gee, that almost sounds like the Civil War... if the Civil War had been fought with harsh language. Seriously, people demanded more social space, decided not to hang out with plague magnates, and told others to stop breathing on them and you think that's a horror? Hell, those are the principles of Libertarianism! Now, I will admit that the BLM stuff was a problem, but only for liberal cities who deserved the riots and fires and murder they got. That's called "consequences", and that is to be expected from being a fool. Getting what you deserve is not "going through the wringer," it's called "justice." Burn Minnesota, burn.

Ma rahts were violated though. Do you really think being told to step away from me and stop breathing your nasty a** breath on me violates your 'rahts'? You have no such rights. And even if you did, that's a joke compared to the secret police watching you 24/7 and taking you away and beating you whenver you aren't submissive enough. Or maybe you'd like to move to a land with no personal space like India? That's going through the wringer. Being told not to hump my leg is not.

Seriously, we went through nothing. We worked from home, got free money, demanded more personal space, and told people to stop breathing on us. If you think that was "going through the wringer" then you have no perspective whatsoever and I'll bet you're the kind of person who breaks down and cries when someone uses the wrong pronoun to address you.

Where's a good plague when we need one.

The Middle Class Is Doomed

Daniel asked awhile back if I had any good news at the moment. Unfortunately, I'm feeling rather down at the moment. What has me down is two fold. On the one hand, our society has collapsed. Our culture is sick and a critical mass of people have become a destructive cancer. On the other hand, our elites have become rotten with greed. It is no longer enough for them to take enough to get rich beyond the dreams of averice, they are intent on taking everything. That's bad. I'll talk about the culture problem in a few days, right now let's talk about my economic concerns.

The only way to really do this is to do bulletpoints, which may or may not connect into one coherent argument but at least will present a clear picture of what is happening. Let's start with a couple key historical points:

● Revolutions begin not with wealth inequality, as the left contends, but with the rich becoming all powerful. The Russian Revolution, The French Revolution, and I would argue many other uprisings happened when the rich in those societies hoarded wealth and power to such a degree that average people had nothing left.

● Americans once respected the rich even as they envied them. Why? Because men like Ford and Carnegie made their money satisfying the needs and wants of average Americans and made sure those average people had the wealth to buy from them. In other words, to make their boats rise, they wanted to raise the tide for all boats. Everyone benefited. Today, the wealthy become rich by robbing the public. They make their money imposing unneccesary transaction fees, bringing lawsuits which destroy value, and taking from the Treasury. It should have come to no one's surprise that most of the money set aside to keep small businesses alive went to the biggest businesses in the country. It should come to no one's surprise that Goldman Sachs makes billions "arbitraging" stock trades, i.e. extracting bits of profit from other people's transactions without adding a hint of value.

● It is the middle class that drives the world because those are the people with the right values and incentives to be the inventors, creators, and dreamers who build the future. The poor lack the tools. The rich lack the will. But the middle class is dying.

● Historically, the one thing that has protected American families is the growth in value of their homes.

Now, let's talk about what is bothering me:

● The American middle class is dying. Yeah, they are. They look good because they've been buying a lot of stuff on debt, but the middle class is being squeezed. Middle class people pay more in taxes than billionaires. They have nowhere to invest: the stock market is rigged. Hedge funds manipulate stocks on behalf of the rich and famous. Insiders suck up the value of transactions. Mutual funds lie and the FCC lets them. Interest rates prevent savings. Inflation kills money. So what does that leave? Houses... but

● There's a massive problem brewing with houses. The greedy bastards in the investment industry realized home equity is profitable, so they decided to take it. Investment firms have started buying homes. In some markets, they already control up to 24% of the homes sold. They are using sh*tty tactics to overwhelm normal buyers like out bidding them $1 at a time at auctions or buying chunks of homes from developers before they even hit the market. So what? Well, they already control enough houses that they have virtual control over the rental market and have been able to raise rents far beyond market levels. Essentially, they are monopolizing rents. This means renters pay far more than they should which strips young people of the savings they need to eventually buy a home, which prevents them from getting the only asset Americans can trust in to build wealth. Even if people have money, buying homes is becoming much harder because an average person cannot compete with a trillion dollar company willing to overpay to get the property. See, they can overpay, you can't, because you can't get financing if you overpay. You also can't recover the overpayment by overcharing for rent as they can.

No home, no equity, no wealth.

But you already have a home and you don't plan to move (ever?). So how can this hurt you? Well, you know what renters are like, right? Do you want half the homes on your street to become rental units? I didn't think so. Just wait until they own most homes.

Then there's this. This is just a suspicion at this point, but an informed one. What happens when Goldman Sachs owns 75% of the homes in your neighborhood? Do you think they will just let their investment ride or do you think they might have a plan to improve it? What can they do? What do you think will happen when the people who own 75% of the homes in the city start asking that neighborhoods be rezoned to let them turn old homes, like your neighbors', into luxury condos or strip malls? The Supreme Court has already said the city can even take your home to let Goldman Sach do it. This worries me greatly.

● Then there's the jobs issue.

● For two decades now, corporate America has sought to import foreign workers. Under the guise of filling jobs Americans supposedly won't do, they've tried to replace union workers with cheap foreign welders. Truckers with Mexican truckers. They've tried to import foreign engineers to Silicon Valley even as American engineers get laid off. They did the same with bankers in New York. What they can't bring in, they farmed out... outsourcing. These are jobs average people could live on, and they are being taken from Americans.

● The minimum wage went up, but did that help or hurt? I was talking to a liberal black woman from the Northwest recently who swore she will never vote for another minimum wage hike. "Everything I buy got more expensive to pay these people, but I never got a raise to offset that. I worked hard to get above minimum wage levels and now I feel like I'm poorer." She's not wrong. Wages have been so stagnant compared to true inflation that most people are now struggling. Raising minimum wage did not help those people. In fact, try this. Did you know in most places, minimum wage is around $12-$15 an hour already? What's your hourly rate by comparison? How old are you and how long have you been working? Do you think you should be that close to the bottom with that experience?

● At least the minimum wage people are doing well, right? Hardly. Here are some annoucements from corporate America (all given with tremendous enthusiasm) which should scare the hell out of you:

● McDonalds and Subway are introducing automated voice ordering screens. Computers pretending to be human. My bank already does this in their drive throughs. No humans needed. Dominos is proudly touting their trial of driverless delivery using a technology called Nuro. Chick-fil-A is testing Nuro as well. That's the end of pizza delivery guys and Uber-eats. It will also extend, soon enough, to truckers... one of the last lower-class quality jobs. White Castle is testing a robot cook named "Flippy." Between those three, fast food and delivered food will soon be personless. Darden (Olive Garden, Red Lobster and many more) is using at-table computers to eliminate the need for waitstaff. That's the end of teenage jobs and that all-important first step on the ladder for uneducated people needing to enter the work force. Don't think any of this will stop there either.

There's more, but this is enough to really trouble me. Think of a world where there are no entry level jobs because they are handled by robots. There are no high end jobs because they are farmed out to foreigners, even imported foreigners. There is nowhere to invest money except homes and you can't buy a home. Your rent is ridiculously high. Your neighborhood is being sold to Amazon.com. This is our greedy elite not just trying to get avericely rich, it is them trying to take every single penny they can and crushing you in the process.

And I think it's coming soon.

I think we are looking at a crisis. I really am. Yet, no one seems willing to deal with it. Some are happy because they've been benefitting so far and the bad stuff is happening to the other guys. Liberals are blind to this because they like the "inclusive" politics of these people. Conservatives wrongly see this as the market at work.

Honestly, I am worried.

Wait A Minute... Isn't That Racist?

Let's discuss intolerance. Today's target is the movie "In the Heights," which just "inexplicably" bombed. It's strange. It's a minority production about minorities and it was fellated by critics so it shouldn't have failed, right? It's diverse! It was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda who did Hamilton. It's the age of tolerance. Sure, NBA ratings are down, no one is watching black television shows, and even leftists like Yahoo and Amazon have dropped their push of black entertainment because nobody cared, but this is really inexplicable. I mean, who doesn't want to see a movie about a bunch of Puerto Ricans in New York? Weird. That's not why we're here though...

We're here to discuss how racist the movie was. Yup. See, apparently, minority doesn't actually mean minority, it means black. And if you don't have enough blacks, then you are racist no matter how many browns or yellows or reds you hired. Indeed, an NFL assistant coach recently spilled the beans on this when he complained about being told he was the wrong kind of minority, but that's a story for another day. Today we sit back and judge... enjoy the squirming.

Let us turn to an article discussing the issue. It begins:

Not everyone is raving over the new In the Heights movie.

The film, which originally debuted as a Broadway musical in 2008 with lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and a book by Quiara Alegría Hudes, has raised eyebrows for its lack of Afro-Latinx representation.

When confronted with this criticism during an interview on Wednesday, June 9, director Jon M. Chu said it was something "I needed to be educated about."

Ah yes, the hypocritical magic negro apology. Yes, Jon, bow down and let the magic negroes educate you about your lack of understanding of the world. We've talked about this before. Not only is this form of "apology" evasive of responsibility, but it's super condescending as it invokes a racist trope. So you see where this is headed.

"In the end, when we were looking at the cast, we tried to get people who were best for those roles," he continued, adding, "But I hear you on trying to fill those cast members with darker skin. I think that's a really good conversation to have, something that we should all be talking about."

Hmm. So you're saying that you weren't racist, it's just that whitish-minorities were the best people for the roles. Somehow, I doubt you would have bought that explanation from a white director who cast all white actors, so why do you think it's ok? The "best actor for the part" line simply no longer washes in these Apartheid days, Jon. And what's this crap about it being a good conversation to have... you were in charge. Don't act like this was out of your hands and someone else should have done something about your racism! You are guilty, no one else. What is your defense?

Jon noted that the background dancers were diverse, to which the journalist replied, "Those are roles that, historically, we've been able to fill. We've been able to be the dancers, we've been able to be in the hair salons...but, like, a lead? That's the breakthrough."

She continued, "We want to see Black people In the Heights. We wanna see Afro-Panamanians, Black Cubans, Black Dominicans. That's what we want to see. That's what we were yearning for and hoping for."

The director responded, "I hope that encourages more people to tell more stories, and get out there and do it right then."

Gee, that's not an evasion. Idiot 1: Why were you racist? We wanted you to be non-racist. Idiot 2: Well, I hope my racist film encourages people to be nonracist... other people, not me of course. Yeah, that's the ticket. I was only trying to show how racism is bad by being racist to encourage others not to be racist, so I wasn't really racist.

Maybe we should hear from some of the actors. The director clearly seems to be entrenched in his racism. I'm sure they will have been horrified at what they did.

Leslie Grace, who is Dominican-American and plays Nina in the musical, also touched on the subject, as well as the importance of inclusion:

"I didn't realize until making this movie that I didn't really get to see myself or people that looked like my siblings, that are darker than me, onscreen," she told Felice. "And I didn't realize how much that affected the limitations that I put on myself—being someone who wanted to be an artist, an actress and even be in the Latin music industry being Afro-Latina."

"I feel so blessed that we get to express the diversity that is within the Latinx community in a way that we haven't been able to see onscreen," she added. "I hope that this is cracking that glass ceiling. Because I do hope to see my brothers and sisters that are darker than me lead these movies."

WTF??? So first, she notes that she hasn't really seen herself on film. That is because she's a singer, not an actress. But she's light skinned anyways (despite calling herself Afro-Latina), so why does she think she matters in this debate? Apparently, darkness is like wealth, everyone lighter/richer than you is bad, but you are where the good people begin. And why does the darker sibling line sound like "I have black friends"?

Anyways, she's so blessed that she got to express the diversity within the PR community in ways that haven't been seen before. Like OMG, giggle giggle. How she did that by only including light-skinned actors, isn't exactly clear, but she hopes that this cracks the glass ceiling... although that's for white women so she should probably come up with some better metaphor. I won't suggest one though lest I too will need to become educated on my racism by a magic negro. Ain't nobody got time for that.

In terms of there being dark-skinned people in film though, she has a great point. You just don't see dark-skinned brothers and sisters in movies. I mean, ask Sideny Poitier, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Samuel L. Jackson, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, Keith David, Danny Glover, Bill Cosby, Louis Gossett Jr., Yaphet Koto, Whoopie Goldberg, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Forrest Whitaker, Sammie Davis Junior, Will Smith, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrance Howard, Pam Grier, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeffrey White, Thandiwe Newton, Alfre Woodward, Ving Rhames, LeVar Burton, S. Epatha Merkeson, Oprah Winfrey, Eartha Kit, Diahann Carroll, Vivica Fox, Taraji Hendson, Angela Bassett, Nichelle Nichols, Raven-Symone, Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Halle Berry, Lena Horne, and Niecy Nash. They'll explain it to you.

Back to the point though, how exactly did you break the dark-skinned ceiling by participating in a movie without any dark-skinned brothers and sister in it, honey? Sounds to me like you just reinforced that tinted ceiling. Your defense doesn't wash.

But you know, maybe Jon's just a racist and she's just stupid, so let's hear from others. Surely someone will stop evading their crimes and just tell us flat out that they took advantage of their light-skinned privilege. I mean, they all prey (sp?) at that altar, it's time to confess their infidelity to dogma:

Melissa Barrera, who is Mexican and plays Vanessa, shared her take on the film's lack of diversity.

"In the audition process, which was a long audition process, there were a lot of Afro-Latinos there. A lot of darker-skinned people. And I think they were looking for just the right people for the roles," she said, referencing the casting decisions that were made. "For the person that embodied each character in the fullest extent...I think we are all very much like our characters, so much so that a lot of times it didn't even feel like we were acting."

She further explained, "And because the cast ended up being us, and Washington Heights is a melting pot of Black and Latinx people, Jon and Lin wanted the dancers and the big numbers to feel very truthful to what the community looks like."

Hmm. So it's back to this best person for the role? I'm sorry, but that just doesn't wash, you racist pig. You admit there were darker-skinned people in the auditions and some racist weeded them out and you're justifying that racism by claiming they were only trying to cast people who look like the characters? YET, you also admit that Washington Heights is a melting pot of BLACKs and Latinics. So where are the blacks? Where are the blacks? How can the musical numbers be true to "what the community looks like" if. there. are. no. blacks? We all know blacks dance because they do it in all the commercials in which liberal whites put them. So don't tell me there shouldn't have been blacks! Do you not understand how racist you are? It's time you went back to Mexico and found a magic whatever-the-hell they have down there and educate yourself!

This is frustrating people. At least Lin-Manuel Miranda will set these people straight, right? Sorry, I forgot that Lin's gay and I shouldn't have used the word "straight" because that might offend. I'm sorry, Lin-Manuel. Now reach down deep in your mighty gay victimhood and set us straight right!

Although Lin-Manuel wasn't interviewed, he did address the musical's representation when speaking to Vox on Thursday, June 10.

"It's unfair to put any kind of undue burden of representation on In the Heights," he told the outlet. "There are so many millions of stories—there's a song in Heights called 'Hundreds of Stories,' but there's millions of stories—from the cultural specificities of the Puerto Rican American experience, the Dominican American experience, the Cuban American experience, and we couldn't get our arms around all of that."

Holy hell! So there are millions of stories there and you just happened to pick only light-skinned ones? How racist are you? You can pretend that the founding fathers were black just to create a black story but you can't tell the story of real black people? That screams white washing or black face or black washing or something... probably white face. Damn you, sir.

I don't even know what to say. These people made a film. The film includes no black actors even though it tells the story of a community that is ethnically diverse and full of black people, and rather than admit their thought crimes, they are talking about shattering glass ceilings by not going through the ceiling, hoping their racism encourages other not to be racist, and evading their crimes using a racist trope.

Something stinks here.

Thoughts?

Mask Are Ending

I’ll start tackling the issue of race, culture and politics soon. There is a lot to discuss. For example, the Democratic plan of demographic domination is dead. The Democratic attempt to hook Asians is doomed too. Oh, and all that anti-Asian racist hate? It’s all coming from blacks. In the meantime, let me share two thoughts today.

First, as I thought, masks simply will not take with the American public – and probably not throughout the western world. Mask are uncomfortable... our culture does not tolerate discomfort. Masks pose danger... we don't tolerate danger. People don’t like them. We are a culture that builds trust through nonverbal gestures. Masks hide key signal givers of trust. People won't allow them.

I've seen clear proof now they won’t take. First, Colorado declared them voluntary a few weeks back and almost everywhere dropped the requirement. A few places still require them and some recommend them, but most everywhere no longer cares. Secondly, we went to Wyoming last week (Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole). There wasn’t a mask in sight. Nowhere. And nobody missed them. Everyone treated life as if COVID had never been at all. Life was back to normal.

That’s the future.

Secondly, it blows my mind how easily liberals flip their fundamental beliefs. When Trump and conservatives suggested that COVID might have been made by the Chinese, the left ridiculed it. Then they got all angry about it. Now that Biden has suggested that it might be the Chinese after all, they have absorbed this as a proven fact (when it isn’t) and they are ridiculing anyone who doesn’t believe.

It’s sick. It’s really sick. The need to hate and demonize anyone you disagree with is truly mentally sick. And then being so incapable to self-evaluation as to realize that just hours ago you held the opposite view is delusional.

Liberalism is a hate-filled mental illness.

Cognitive Dissonance - Vaccines

The media is a disgusting creature. Journalists as a group are stupid, terrible at their jobs and liars. And right now it's so bad that my eyes are crossing. Here are some examples of things that are just driving me nuts. Each of the following is from actual "news" stories:

The evil US (and the lessor evil "rich nations in the West") need to finally step up and stop hoarding vaccines and help the poor people who are dying by the trillions from COVID. Why won't we lift a finger to help them? The racist US in particular is bad and heartless. BUT the US is sending 60 million doses of vaccine to the third world. The more noble Europeans are promising 20 million doses. Nobody else is promising sh*t.

The Chinese and Russians are winning the vaccine war because poor countries are choosing to rely on their vaccines. BUT Russia has only produced 20 million doses total... all used in Russia. Evil capitalist Pfizer produces 100 million doses a month. The effectiveness of the Chinese vaccines is below 50%. There are doubts the Russian vaccine is even that.

Those darn white conservative Christians are the problem because 30% of them say they won't take the vaccine. BUT 70% of blacks won't take it, and somehow that's the fault of white doctors. Only 25%... uh, 10% of Russians have taken it, but the US still has the worst rate in the world. Actually, the US has the highest innoculation rate because we hoard vaccines.

Those evil capitalist drug companies only do this for money. No sh*t, right? WELL Russia and China are SELLING their vaccines, yet that's considered charity somehow. Pfizer is donating 20 million doses to sh*thold countries... for free. ALSO, no public interest firm has yet produced a vaccine or hand out a single dose.

Why hasn't someone done something to help India? WELL a few weeks ago, the same media was touting how India was handling this better than all you white capitalist countries. Also, India has contracts with Russia to produce 100 million doses of its vaccine each month and claims it can take care of itself. Total doses produced so far are zero... and we're the bad guys.

It makes the head spin, doesn't it?
