Goldman Sachs Bans Employees from Donating to Trump

Fortune: Goldman Sachs has enacted a set of rules that bans the firm’s top employees from contributing to certain campaigns, including the Trump-Pence ticket…

At the same time, the rules do not restrict donations to Clinton-Kaine. Kaine is a U.S. Senator for Virginia, and not considered a local official under Goldman’s rules. Although the memo does say that Goldman partners are no longer able to donate to the Virginia Democratic party, which could be a reference to Kaine. Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman’s CEO, has declined to say who he is supporting for president, but is known as a long-time Clinton supporter. Blankfein donated to Clinton when she ran against Obama is 2008.

An Alt-Right Jew Wakes Up About The Alt-Right Not Liking Jews

Cathy Young writes:

Lauren Southern, a Canadian university student, freelance journalist and activist, discovered cultural libertarianism due to her frustration with the illiberal mindset of modern progressivism and feminism. Drawn into alt-right circles, Southern, now 21, initially assumed that the racism and anti-Semitism she saw and heard was simply provocative humor. Then she began to realize that many of her new allies meant it.

Southern, who recently spoke to me by email and phone, still believes there are “sane” people who consider themselves alt-right and is not sure if the “hateful” ones are a majority. But she has been increasingly disturbed by the vitriolic bigotry—and the effect it was having on her.

“I’ve been joking along so much that I think I’ve lost myself a little,” Southern told me. “Sometimes I feel like I’m becoming a sociopath.”

Having soured on the alt-right, Southern is still passionate about cultural libertarianism. However, she says, “you can defend free speech while not [condoning] what these people are saying.” She points out that while Twitter’s cultural libertarians oppose bans on offensive speech, “we also condemn those who make #killallwhitemen memes and genuinely hate men or whites. I don’t see why this shouldn’t be treated similarly.”

Hillary, Trump, and War with Russia

Fred Reed writes:

A good reason to vote for Trump, a very good reason whatever his other intentions, is that he does not want a war with Russia. Hillary and her elite ventriloquists threaten just that. Note the anti-Russian hysteria coming from her and her remoras.

Such a war would be yet another example of the utter control of America by rich insiders. No normal American has anything at all to gain by such a war. And no normal American has the slightest influence over whether such a war takes place, except by voting for Trump. The military has become entirely the plaything of unaccountable elites.

A martial principle of great wisdom says that military stupidity comes in three grades: Ordinarily stupid; really, really, really stupid; and fighting Russia. Think Charles XII at Poltava, Napoleon after Borodino, Adolf and Kursk.

Letting dilettantes, grifters, con men, pasty Neocons, bottle-blonde ruins, and corporations decide on war is insane. We have pseudo-masculine dwarves playing with things they do not understand. So far as I am aware, none of these fern-bar Clausewitzes has worn boots, been in a war, seen a war, or faces any chance of being in a war started by themselves. They brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, and Isis, and can’t win wars against goatherds with AKs. They are going to fight…Russia?

Mass Incarceration as Respect for Women’s Independence

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* The negative effects of third-world immigration on American and European women’s rights and freedoms, including the right to walk up the street without being constantly harassed, is something that is rarely mentioned in the debate about immigration but women need to start waking up about this very real threat to their rights.

Women also need to understand that in the political correctness pecking order, third-world male immigrants take priority over women and therefore in any case where there is a conflict between what the male immigrants want and what is best for women, the male immigrants will win, with the full support of the government and the media. This, I believe, can already be seen in the UK, Germany and Sweden.

* Criminals tend to commit lots of crimes. If they are put in prison, the crime rate goes down. Liberals sometimes stumble onto the arrow of causality when they say things like “why are we incarcerating so many people when the crime rate is low”.

* I was drinking one night and fell asleep with my arm draped over the back of my chair. When I awoke it was completely numb and I called my doctor the next morning as it still was numb. Since it was my left arm he insisted I go to the emergency room. I went and the ER doctor said I had ‘Saturday Night Palsy’, so named because men used to get it on Saturday nights at movie theaters from draping their arm around their dates. The arm will stay numb for several days too!

* I am not an advocate for adopting Islam.

But that’s the thing about the book: the converts still drink alcohol, and instead of representational art they have Islamic calligraphy and photos of deep space on the walls of the same beautiful Parisian mansions. Women all lose their jobs overnight, but ‘unemployment’ disappears and men are paid much more, only now with the option of several wives, including wives much younger than presently approved of in the West. They very quickly adjust to wearing a version of Islamic dress in the street. It all happens rather easily but with small changes, disappearing kosher sections in the grocery, a crescent on the University entrance but the same security guard. Some background violence most people aren’t involved with. It’s horrifying but you can absolutely see it happening.

‘Submission’ is phenomenal. It will stay with you for weeks.

* Mr. Houellebecq is a prophet.

Soumission is genius that he merely uses Islam as a foil to show how degenerate and ripe for collapse the west is. In that book the Muslim candidate for President is actually portrayed quite positively…. the spineless secular French, not so much.
