Israeli UN Envoy: Jew-Hatred At ‘Highest Level of Our Lifetimes’
So I read in the news all the time about how hatred of Jews is very bad. How come I never read about Jewish hatred of gentiles? Different groups have different interests. They are in frequent conflict. When groups have … Continue reading
Who Is the USA’s Chief Long-term Strategic Rival: Russia or China?
Steve Sailer writes: The rude welcome Obama received in China suggests that a long-term great power rivalry between the United States and China is inevitable. This doesn’t have to be disastrous, but it does need to be treated seriously. It … Continue reading
Where Do Rock Stars Come From?
Steve Sailer writes: It would be interesting to do a big statistical study of the background of rock stars. I suspect they tend to come from fairly high achieving if sometimes self-destructive backgrounds. The most memorable background for a rock … Continue reading
MaNishtana: Growing up, I was taught not to pledge allegiance to America, a country built on a promise of racial equality that’s crumbled in front of our eyes
Someone growing up black and Jewish in America is unlikely to be enchanted with the country. It is basic Social Identity Theory. Whites and Chinese growing up in Ghana are probably not wrapped up in Ghana. It is normal and … Continue reading

LAT: How Airbnb is addressing its racial-bias problem
There’s not a hint in this article that discrimination is commonsense, that not all races and religions act equally, and that there may be practical reasons that people might not want to rent to members of groups with high crime … Continue reading
Trump Seems To Think Along The Lines Of Steve Sailer’s Citizenism
Comments at Steve Sailer: * I note in this Trump is getting probed hard by O’Reilly about white support and not taking the bait. Trump is citizenist, though citizenism is a step closer to white nationalism than the current system … 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
Journos, Trump & Hillary
Comments: * I also suspect that journalists know that a big downsizing is fast approaching for the entire journalist/media landscape. If Trump wins, how many billionaires decide that their discount propaganda outlets aren’t worth keeping afloat? The journalists have to … Continue reading
