Is It Too Late for Hillary to Stop Being So Extremist on Borders?
Comments at Steve Sailer: * The immigration thing is a crisis of existence for western populations. In 1945, Westerners accepted an internal self-regulatory tool whereby all statistical behavior differences were ignored. This allowed the world to absorb the horrors of … Continue reading

The Flight 93 Election
Comments at Steve Sailer: * Whoever wrote this is a regular reader here. He name checks Ben Franklin, Invade/Invite, importing ringers, noblesse oblige etc. Shame he did not extend the courtesy to name the devil. Also a shame to not … Continue reading
