The Steve Sailer Anthology

Posted on November 13, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer is putting together a book of his best essays.

Comments:

* Include exchange with [John] Podhoretz.

* All the needling and making fun of David Brooks and Malcolm Gladwell.

Those were funny as hell.

* Your posts referencing Tom Wolfe’s Hunt for The Great White Defendant and police shootings.

* Things that stand out in my memory:

Love is not colorblind
Jorge G. Castañeda’s “Mañana Forever? Mexico and the Mexicans”
Affordable Family Formation
Fun stories about Jerry Pournelle and Greg Cochran

* Plaques for Blacks is a classic.

“In contrast, white Americans used to take the complaints of American Indians more seriously. And indeed, Indians have much to legitimately gripe about regarding life on reservations such as Pine Ridge. But in recent years, as whites have become ever more amused by blacks, white concern for Indians has diminished. Native Americans, with their plodding dance rhythms, athletic stiffness, and lack of a gift of gab, have increasingly vanished from American consciousness. They now appear to strike whites less as noble and tragic than as depressing and tedious compared with those always entertaining blacks.”

* Men With Gold Chains is a cool shorthand for the concentric circles/leapfrogging loyalties dynamic- that motif that ties together a lot of stuff from parochial allegiances/affordable family formation/chain migration/dying alone/etc that needs to be in there somehow as a kind of conceptual glue.

* Revealed preferences in racial dating

Marriage gap > gender gap

Rolling Stone hoax exposure

Sailer Strategy

Commenter’s Trump Marches on D.C.

Discussions of Bonfire and Back to Blood

Discussion of L’Affaire Watson

Most Important Graph in the World

Gaddafi’s death

The Deep State/Turkey compared to U.S.

* First rule of female journalism needs to be included. It underlines many of your thoughts.

* How do you plan on organizing the book? Is it going to be just an assortment of your best pieces, or is it going to be broken up by topic area? Do you want the selections, taken together, to make an argument for a broader worldview? Do you plan to revise any of the pieces for publication?

Regardless, here are some of my favorite things you wrote:

1) The Cousin-Marriage Conundrum
2) The piece on the differences between gays and lesbians
3) The post (I think it was titled “Tendencies”) about Jews
4) As an F-you to JPod, the “Let the Good Times Roll” article

* Your “Darwin’s Enemies” (left and right) is a favorite of mine. It displays, as you once said, writing about high brow material in a low brow style.

* I think the Jarod Taylor debate is pretty foundational, if you can stick him in there with ya. That would probably be a good thing to open with. All your book reviews of the big books you’ve reviewed. Fukuyama and Pinker and such. Pops to mind your review of Paul Johnson’s book on Darwin. And you’ve reviewed other Johnson books . I always find your movie reviews fun and informing but maybe those are two ephemeral. When you used to write your VDare essays when you linked to them from your blog, at some point VDare stopped getting original stuff right? Anyways those were good and good length for an anthology entry. You gotta get the stuff on the big ones you called like the housing bubble, UVA obviously, I’m forgetting a big one, dude you gotta get your Donald Sterling stuff in there. Affordable Family Formation. The speech you gave on your epistemology at the Mencken Conference years ago. Your golf course architecture is coextensive evolutionary theory was that it was or something. Obviously you’ve written plenty on Testosterone, the man molecule. Olympics stuff. Ben Franklin stuff. Sailers First Laws of Female Journalism.

* Steve, you could publish several books: a collection of your movie reviews, a collection of your book reviews, a collection of your writings on politics, a book of good posts that don’t fall into any of the above categories.

Why do it? Blogs won’t last, but books have a 4,000 year history. There’s already so much stuff in books, that some form of access to them will continue to exist for the foreseeable future. If you want the future to read you, publish more books.

* Can’t remember specific article names, but these are the themes you’ve written about that I’ve found most enlightening:

– Sailer strategy
– Marriage gap
– The ethnic biases that are held by many non whites and Jews, and how our current ideas that only whiteness has such negative agency allows them to obscure these biases, even from themselves
– The left forgetting how long they’ve been in charge of things and always seeing ‘the man’ elsewhere
– ‘The ideal world of many female political activists is one in which they themselves will be seen as more attractive’
– Obama’s racial obsessions as seen in his autobiography
– The flight from white
– The megaphone
– The alteration of American identity to the ‘nation of immigrants’ conception from the ‘settlers’ conception in the last century, and how it’s pretended its always been like this (eg your ‘posterity’ example, emma lazarus)
– War on noticing

I guess I’d say the general theme of the above is peering through our current conceits about liberal egalitarian individualism to uncover the ways the world really works.

* Ben Franklin Principle and inverse (Get someone to do you a favor to like you and People hate it when you do favors for them all the time – it shows you are more powerful than them.)

How Females (Female Journalists) Always Want To Redefine Objective Standards of Beauty Such That It Equals Them

Why Protesters Never Actually Attack an Oppressor That Could Actually Hurt Them

How Males Imprint On Their Environment as Young and Seek to Re-create It When Older

How Gays Run Fashion Mags and Choose Androgynous Females to Represent Ideal Beauty (ie 16 year old boys)
etc etc

Why Football Players Are Neither Too Smart nor Too Independent Thinkers

Why Football Defense is Improvised Seek-and-Destroy-Offence

* Structure-wise you’ve got a huge advantage over most (or every) mainstream pundits – you’ve been consistently right about lots of different things over a very long period of time.

This is lots of work but I think this works very well for your strength as a structure –

Setup [new writing] giving an idea of the intellectual climate around the issue
Older Essay / Column
Newer Essay / Column
Capper [new writing] with lessons learned

One example that’s quite current – the Rolling Stone / Haven Monahan rape hoax. Your setup is coalition of the fringes / Jewish anti-whiteism / search for the great white defendant. Older column – an early mention of that with an earlier example. Newer column – a vindication / victory lap column that’s more recent. Capper – why you were able to see it when the mainstream wasn’t and what it says about the future.

Don’t neglect sports when picking column pairs as there is an immense untapped market for realistic, intelligent sports commentary.

* – Race FAQ
– IQ FAQ
– HBD 101
-Citizenism
– Affordable family formation/the marriage gap and all its political implications re: concentric vs. leapfrogging loyalties, the Coalition of the Fringes, etc.
– The high/low team-up against the middle. Why is mass migration even a rancorous political issue obfuscated by being discussed only in moralizing terms if it’s so transparently bad for America? BECAUSE OF ALL THE MONEY THEY STAND TO MAKE.
– The Narrative. MSM incestuousness and collusion.
– Obama stuff that came after “America’s Half-Blood Prince”
– Along the lines of the last three points, the Triumph of Marketing in general.
– Invade the world/invite the world. Neocon foreign policy & compassionate imperialism
– Arguments for immigration restrictionism. The stuff about how the US is different from Latin America re: racial color castes was particularly interesting to me, as were histories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
– Also the history of American immigration in general. Ben Franklin’s ideas, Emma Lazarus’s hokum, etc.
– The concept of diminishing marginal returns in politics & adaptability, again going back to Ben Franklin.
– Something about eugenics and the Age of Galton like in your speech to Margaret Thatcher

* Steve Sailer: I’m not sure if I’ve ever written up the story of how I came not to write anymore for National Review, but it’s not at all scandalous. Rich Lowry behaved quite honorably, as (I hope) I did as well.

* 1. One volume on sports might be very popular. It’s not my thing but obviously sports occupy a huge chunk of the American male mind. And the beauty of sports statistics is that you can use obvious undeniable facts (100% black cornerbacks, 100% black 100m finalists) — granted that sports statistics are already an acceptable topic of discussion — to force people to ask the questions that need to be asked.

2. I would love a collection of movie reviews — maybe re-edited or re-organized to give one or more thematic ‘hooks’ to readers who aren’t immediately drawn in by the movie titles. For example, the idea that behind the scenes, a lot of the creative geniuses are actually not on board with The Narrative.

2b. I don’t think this comes up quite as much on the blog, but in terms of new content — personally, I’m very interested in Steve’s thoughts on literature. Waugh, Gibbon, Macaulay, to Updike and Tom Wolfe. http://www.unz.com/isteve/the-coup-by-john-updike/#comment-415650

3. Not unrelated, a California-themed collection would be great. I remember the story of serving on jury duty for the Iranian car scammer; the piece of fiction about the Minority Mortgage Meltdown; various San Fernando Valley anecdotes; Bay Area vs. Southern California (a lot of great commenters there too).

4. Going right for the jugular, a Handbook to Ethnic Studies in America would be pretty great. Steve is so careful with his assertions, all of the outrage would basically be “point ‘n’ sputter.”

5. I’ve been especially interested in Steve’s reviews of other intellectual interlocutors, and his evaluations of their big theories, in book reviews and otherwise. Jared Taylor and Jorge Castaneda have been mentioned, but there are so many more. Yuri Slezkine, David Coleman, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Paul Krugman, Charles Murray. Raj Chetty. Elizabeth Warren. Robert Putnam. Francis Fukuyama. Samuel Huntington. Wasn’t there a big dialogue with Ron Unz early on? In each case, I find that Steve’s approach of taking a basic reality check is priceless. Raj Chetty may be an otherworldly genius in terms of theory. But how much does he know about reality?
Michael Barone: http://www.vdare.com/articles/barone-backsliding-into-bankruptcy

5b. Also — more broadly than intellectuals — profiles of individuals whose current significance is useful in understanding the world. Obviously Obama and Gulen. Coates. Bill Richardson. Joaquin and Julian Castro. Ellen Pao. Claire Cain Miller. Theranos girl. Tony Rezko. Jeremiah Wright. George P. Bush.

For me, Steve’s greatest contribution is in Noticing Patterns and Remembering Facts. We can quibble about the interpretations and the details but once presented with a significant fact, you can’t just ignore it. Thus, when Steve Notices a Pattern and then gives it a catchy name, it’s impossible forever afterwards not to notice further instances of that pattern.

Thus — I’m no good with titles but I would suggest that the theme of one volume could be for example: Noticing Patterns: 25 Concepts That Make Sense of the Current Year. And each chapter could collect Steve’s developed thoughts on that particular pattern. Maybe it’s the marketing background but I think Steve has a genius for tagging a Pattern with an instantly memorable catchphrase. Then forever afterward, you can’t avoid Noticing them.
There’s too many to count and readers will know exactly what I mean but, off the top of my head, in addition to those already mentioned. Obviously there is some overlap:

Who? Whom? (this one above all)
Noticing Patterns (itself)
Political Correctness Makes You Stupid
Vibrant Diversity
Human Biodiversity
Disparate Impact
Concentric Loyalties vs. Leapfrogging Loyalties
World War T
Adventuresses
Sapir-Whorf
Anti-Gentilism
All We Have To Do is Fix the Schools
“Good Schools”
Invade the World, Invite the World, In Hock to the World
50% Nature, 50% Nurture
Men With Gold Chains
Partially Inbred Extended Family
Beverly Hills Chihuahua / Extreme Texans / Mexican Mediocrity
Mulatto Elite / Paper-Bag Test / Certain People
California, the future of America
Marketing Major Postmodernism
Chechens
Sailer’s First Law of Female Journalism

* Elections have consequences. Tide has turned. All the protest stuff this week is rearguard action. Maybe Hillary has some rumored last shot, but it will fail, ultimately, if it exists.

Look, we won, remember? All these people having vapors now because they’ve lost power over their former opponents. Just be nice to them and extend a hand no matter how many times they slap it away, be a good example of we are all Americans. Let them lose the pr war by themselves now. World is sick/ashamed of SJW type monkeyshines.

SJW-ism, setting internet mobs on people, is going to start having serious legal consequences. IRL, it is illegal to incite a riot or lynch mob. It is soon going to be the case online.

And why shouldn’t it be? It is domestic terrorism, again, one of those things that were projected upon us by SJW types. Demand it be stopped by authorities, it is a barbaric practice, like human sacrifice in a primitive society.

Which the internet is at the moment.

We have a bunch of people who have been feralized by nonstop propaganda for years. We should empathize with them, like the captives of communism after the end of it. So be patient with them, it will be worth it.

I mean, if presidency and both houses don’t make you feel like we won, I’m not sure what will.

* Sailer’s biggest mistake.

He should have kept mum about Steve Job’s bio that was slated to be called iSteve.

He would have gotten more traffic.

* The Sailer Strategy and your work on civic nationalism should be central. Trump already ripped off your election strategy, and his instincts are going to lead him in the direction of your civic nationalism work. From that core, expand out into themes that would be related to the emerging Trumpian nationalism. One black a block, Affordable family formation, natalism, diversity management, etc.

One additional suggestion: seek out Vox Day for advice, and potentially as a publishing platform. He would be a good judge of content, and has a good instinct for salability.

Castalia House is the publisher you want to contact.

http://www.castaliahouse.com/

They have been at the top of the Amazon sales lists in the politics and philosophy areas for the last year.
They started as a sci-fi publisher and have expanded their reach. William Lind, Martin van Creveld Mike Cernovich and a host of others are published by them. They do hard cover, paperback, e-book of all varieties and audio books.
Nothing against Regnery except that they are last years news.
I know I have mentioned them in the past when the first musings about your book appeared.
I like their books, their authors and their editor.
Face it that you are and your book will be controversial. Might as well go whole hog and become a best seller while you are at it.

* In no particular order:

• Citizenism vs white nationalism (probably a good time to give this idea more exposure)

• Invade the World/Invite the World

• G.W. Bush, Redlining, minority homeownership, and the GFC

• KKKrazy Glue / Coalition of the Fringes

• Concentric vs leapfrogging loyalties

• War on Noticing / Protective stupidity

• Anti-gentilism

• Overton shift re immigration, NYT, and Carlos Slim
-Phalangist ties are fascinating but if you’re trying to keep the book close to your core themes maybe not worth mentioning. BTW that’s yet another interesting topic that brings you up at the top of a Google search)

• Occam’s Razor/Butterknife

• Megaphone/Narrative/Eye of Soros – esp. Black Body Theory and Haven Monahan

• Magic Dirt Theory as well as Section 8 as a tool for real estate developers

• Set of useful statistics to calibrate your BS detector: demographics – esp. “latino tidal wave” and Slippery 6 type numbers that showed faultiness of conventional “pander to hispanics” wisdom – crime stats, etc.

• The World’s Most Important Graph – good chance for you to repeat your Sailer Doctrine success

• Some stuff on Coming Apart, The Bell Curve, and Ghettoside

• Merkel’s Boner

• Rotherham

• The Tsarnaevs, Omar Mateen, and the CIA

• William Shockley, test scores, Test Score Tong Wars

• Feminism, Elizabeth Holmes, Ellen Pao and her gay husband, stupid investors (or smart enough to know they can use the Narrative to pump, and dump after IPO – I honestly don’t know) – Theranos board of directors is interesting. I’ve been fascinated by the whole Theranos saga but idk if others have same interest

• It would be pretty funny if you devoted some space to some of the more determinedly stupid journalists and bloggers – Matt Yglesias comes to mind, as well as Genius T. Coates and maybe Josh Marshall. Might be risking looking petty here but would be entertaining reading.

* It depends what the purpose of the book is. Perhaps the most ambitious goal would be crossover to the mainstream.

Someone mentioned Freakonomics – which is subtitled “A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything”.

Perhaps the book could be along the lines “a rogue statistician notices the stubborn endurance of phenomena that Americans thought had gone away.”

The ideal articles are ones:
(a) that are backed by data
(b) where the essential point can be put across with a graphic and a brief explanation; which can then be followed by a longer exploration of whatever causes, consequences, and conventional wisdom is appropriate
(c) that will change the way that readers think; perhaps help them to see things that are in plain sight but that they have been trained not to notice.

* In no particular order:

• Citizenism vs white nationalism (probably a good time to give this idea more exposure)

• Invade the World/Invite the World

• G.W. Bush, Redlining, minority homeownership, and the GFC

• KKKrazy Glue / Coalition of the Fringes

• Concentric vs leapfrogging loyalties

• War on Noticing / Protective stupidity

• Anti-gentilism

• Overton shift re immigration, NYT, and Carlos Slim

• It would be pretty funny if you devoted some space to some of the more determinedly stupid journalists and bloggers – Matt Yglesias comes to mind, as well as Genius T. Coates and maybe Josh Marshall. Might be risking looking petty here but would be entertaining reading.

I enjoy your movie and book reviews, as well as the stuff on Tom Wolfe and Heinlein. I like reading about Sabermetrics, although that’s more out of an interest in predictive statistics than baseball. Similarly, I find the golf stuff interesting more because of changing cultural tides and real estate issues rather than any great love for the sport.

A structure similar to Mark Steyn’s The Undocumented Mark Steyn would allow for the full range of iSteve topics to be touched on, including reviews etc. and could probably be done without too much rewriting. Something akin to a Citizenist Manifesto would be great to read but probably a lot more time, research, and rewriting. I’d buy either or both.

Incidentally, I bought America’s Half-Blood Prince recently and intend to read it before Obama leaves office. I didn’t know about iSteve in ’08 but I think it will be an interesting read with the benefit of hindsight.

* I agree with Canadian Observer: you have material for a whole series of books.

You have already published America’s Half-Blood Prince.

Next up:

America’s Philosopher’s Stone: how Benjamin Franklin published the recipe that made America great, and how we can still profit by his insight.

America’s Chambers of Secrets: the many true things that cannot be said in the press or the classroom or the workplace.

America’s Prisoners of Yes I Can: how the refusal to acknowledge diversity of aptitude misdirects our educational efforts.

America’s Goblet of Fire: how misunderstandings concerning crime and punishment will cause our cities to burn.

America’s Order for Phoenix: How George Bush’s plan to promote Latino homeownership led to boom and bust in the Southwest.

America’s Deathly Hallows: the cost in treasure and in lives of misguided reverence for sacred slogans.

* Steve, you had a very funny and perceptive post while back, proposing that instead of capturing more black votes, Republicans should try to brand the Democratic Party as the “black party” by constantly but indirectly referencing that as something that “everybody knows”. That and any other suggestions you have made to the GOP over the years would fit nicely with the Sailer Strategy theme.

I agree with earlier posters that the two biggest selling points (other than the Strategy of course) are prophetic predictions, and recurring memes and concepts innovated in the blog. Additional examples besides the ones from earlier comments:

-Lack of media coverage/analysis of Mexico, despite the obvious importance
-Lack of attention to averages or modal characteristics
-Need for more accurate stereotypes, not fewer stereotypes
-”extended family” metaphor for race
-(the war on) Pattern Recognition
-Israel as a model for the USA on border wall, and having a conscious demographic policy
-Zeroth Amendment

I would de-emphasize the snarky attacks on Ta-Nehisi Coates’ over-rated abilities, and the sometimes obsessive focus on Jews. The TNC stuff comes across as resentment that he is treated as smart, when he obviously is smart, or is undeservedly successful (which he also is). Your analysis of all things Jewish is often interesting, but the blog (more so than the essays) often focuses on it to a degree that is not always warranted by the material. This pattern was stronger in older posts, with a tendency to over-Judaize things that have simpler explanations, and I got the sense that it reflected your temporary intellectual interests for a few years, similar to the earlier focus on Obama, and that afterwards you use the synthesis of that research, but are no longer occupied with it.

Whites Pour Into Oregon

Posted on November 13, 2016 by Luke Ford

I was in Oregon for two Sabbaths in September of 2001. I loved it — so beautiful and clean!

Kevin MacDonald moved to Oregon in 2014.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Whites are pouring into Oregon — we’re the most moved-to state for something like six years now. They’re moving here to live around other White people in beautiful and diverse environs with an exciting big city. But they can’t admit that to themselves or say it out loud because that would make them racist, so they mouth pro-Diversity platitudes and vote Democrat to assuage cognitive dissonance and prove they’re not racist.

I can’t imagine Whites in Eugene or the Portland metro area ever admitting they chose Oregon because they heart White people.

* Bend has a lot of home equity refugees. They cashed out their home in California for an absurd price and bought something cheaper in Bend, which is quite nice. There’s also a good population of successful older people from the West side who bought a second or retirement home. The younger people are mostly outdoorsy types who are willing to live in poverty if there’s a view, and there is.

Lots of people in Oregon have an RV to take advantage of the outstanding state park system.

The downstate and East side outside of Bend still has a lot of native Oregonians, who are a good lot and astonishingly polite and friendly. But they’re also a small population compared to Portland, so swinging that 10% is a tall order. The Southern Oregon timber counties got nuked by the spotted owl 20 years ago and their economies still haven’t recovered. (I think the Josephine County sheriff’s office only has 8 hours of coverage a day.) There’s also a significant illegal immigrant population in some Willamette Valley farming areas.

* I relocated my U.S. residence to Oregon a couple of years ago.

It has all the benefits of an SWPL state, basically life here is like wearing pajamas all day, it is an eloi like existence.

But somehow, they are totally cool with gun rights and hunting. You wouldn’t believe the citizenship/residency verification for a DL, make any red state proud but they aren’t allowed to do it like a blue state. And the roads are great with very little traffic. Superlative sandwich makers too.

Maybe they will secede.

Frankly, it is much like a deer hunter state, demographically, shorn of dysfunctional rust belt cities and associated cultural heritage. If they are still part of the union, Oregon would be the likeliest west coast state to flip to Trump in 2020. Probably not worth the effort due to few EV, but it is definitely doable by a home grown brigade once Trump demonstrates that virtuous people can like him too.

* Yes, we’ve seen the hipster element in Portlandia, etc, but it is increasingly attracting deer country types as well. Most prominently in retirees, it is a haven for them, a throwback to Pleasantville.

Lots of lower middle class, lower class whites migrating out this way. This is less noticed than the Portlandia smart and sexy set, of course, same class as the media, but if anything, it is a greater trend IMO, at least because it is going unnoticed.

Like that Trump is going to win thing I told you guys about endlessly for months. Maybe now thats over I’ll start on Cascadia/Great Basin/Mountain West. Lots going on out here.

Anyhow, I talk to people. Surprising how many times the kid behind the counter in some out of the way town just moved to Oregon from anywhere and you can guess that anywhere is often Deer Hunter country even if the guy isn’t Ukrainian even if he looks like he could be.

There is an astonishing lack of southern Europeans out here, when you think about it.

Bend, Oregon and various places over the Cascades are running riot with growth and with the RV set and up as a significant component. They aren’t all California liberals over there, I’d say they are the distinct minority.

What, never heard of Bend, Oregon? Well, I never had either, but it is an interesting story although uninteresting to MSM. No guys with dreadlocks and skirts like Portlandia. But phenomenal growth.

And of course, all the Dems, it is Bernie country. I talk to these people, as one might imagine.

I have, even in the worst days of whatever the hysteria du jour was, get the Bernie Bros to respect why I supported Trump.

Because it was the same reason they supported Bernie – corrupt rigged system in the end that isn’t delivering the goods for the masses of Americans.

And then I’d tell them that I’d certainly vote for Bernie if the race came to Bernie vs. any GOPe other than Trump just as certainly as I’d vote for Trump over anyone the DNC would push reflexively and that the only honorable race possible was Bernie vs. Trump.

They’d invariably get it. They want a wrecking ball too and they only thing holding them back from Trump is peer pressure that is counter to reality due to all the propaganda during the campaign. So that cognitive dissonance will crumble eventually.

Trump can win these guys over and if anything Trump understands, it is having the cool people on your side, you don’t think he is going to target the rising youth class, the urban hipsters?

He only lost Oregon by 10%. IMO, the way sentiment was turning against Hillary, a few more days Oregon would have flipped if along with that there was some targeted effort to flip the state. It is a place that hates government corruption and non-fair deals. Very utopian and that is how Trump thinks, he is always talking about how beautiful everything is going to be and he really would like to have a society that is as placid, untroubled, productive, and healthy as Oregon is now for its residents.

It really is a very good match after we bury all the hatchets.

* Bend is high desert with only 12 inches of rain per year (and 24 inches of snow), but plenty of water coming down from the Cascade Mountains. It’s probably a really good climate for northerners who like having a little winter (but not too much) and who don’t like Florida-type summers.

* I’ve also noticed that while nearly all of the young people in Willamette Valley go along with the prevailing ethos, there is lots about it that bothers them although it is hard for them to articulate or express. However, I can, and it is the neo-puritanism of PC that is preventing them from having all the fun young people are supposed to have and they know it, know they are getting cheated.

You can lead people into it. One of the easiest ways to identify this is find a really hot girl. Beauty is not exalted here, lookism, all that. So the girls who like to indulge that urge feel acute social pressure to keep things toned down and they do not like it.

Talk to one of them sometime in Portland or Eugene and ask them about the implicit dress code in their town if you want an earful. Giving them the opportunity to give form to their inchoate resentments is good for them, helps them focus and understand.

* This is the sort of research I could really get behind.

* Oregon’s interior is a vibrant playground for social darwinism, When a hipster tells me of his plan to move to Oregon, I always say, “You should! it’s great!”

* The DL verification is strict because vehicle registration is so cheap. Out-of-staters were registering their vehicles in Oregon to dodge California taxes.

A good summary of politics in Oregon. It’s run by Portland, and the rest of the state is irrelevant. Portland is conventional left. Alas, a lot of local political idiosyncrasies have been wiped out in the last few decades and have been replaced by a homogenized and uniform national politics. (Well, maybe except for Louisiana.)

Steve Sailer: 5/6/16: “Hillary’s Plan to Lose the Deer Hunter States”

Posted on November 13, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Matthew Yglesias: “The case for Ellison –> A renewed left-populism is necessary but can only work if it’s led by people of color.”

* Looks like the next DNC head will be a black left wing Muslim. Really.

Ellison is also anti Israel, and rejected a Catholic upbringing including Catholic schools. He wrote pro Nation of Islam articles. Just what the Dems need as their front man!

* Keith Ellison is a black Muslim so a lot of people here will think “diversity hire”. But he is also a Midwestern economic populist. He said that Trump could win the nomination back in the summer of 2015 and was laughed at.

So, he’s not one of those clueless limousine liberals Hillary surrounded herself with. Underestimating him could be as stupid as underestimating a certain businessman and reality star. If he’s the head of the DNC in the next election then he will make sure that the Democratic candidate does not repeat the mistakes Hillary made.

* A whopping 81 percent of White Evangelicals voted for Donald J. Trump.

God bless the White Evangelicals. They are the only White group who votes in a monolithic bloc that almost rivals with Blacks with their 88 percent support for Crooked Hillary.

White Evangelicals are the Right Wing version of Blacks when it comes to monolithic party loyalty.

White Evangelicals have more reason to be suspicious of the political Left than any other demographic group in America because they are hated by the political Left for both their faith/religion and their skin color.

* To score moral credit and to shame the other side, Trump should hold a gala for all the Trump Martyrs who were beaten, attacked, abused, pelted, belted, and bloodied. They were victims of the worst Political Hate Crime in a long time. They had to go up against the progots and maggots of Bull Connors style brutality. But these people didn’t buckle and showed real guts in their support of him… unlike the cucks who always got on their knees and kissed the asses of the likes of Sharpton and Tim Wise and others.

At this gala, videos should be played of people knocked down, hit with rocks and eggs, pulled out of cars, etc.
Trump needs to show that the other side owns thuggery. Smugs and Thugs.

Or he should at least invite the Trump Martyrs to the Inauguration and give them priority seating.

Be sure to invite this kid.

Someone should make a compilation video of all the anti-Trump violence and thug rhetoric and make it an immortal part of youtube lore.

In some parts of US, it took real courage to support Trump. People had to brave not only verbal abuse but physical attack and even professional destruction.

* The turnover of the D party to blacks/violent Muslims reminds me of how Tammany Hall was turned over to blacks in the end—and thus ceased to exist.

* Some people comment about how close the race was, but just think… Trump got the worst media coverage ever and was outspent by gazillions. Hillary raised over a billion and threw everything at him.

The fact that he won means that, had the race been covered fairly, he would have won much bigger.

Imagine if someone had to start the race half field behind and just barely won.
We have to take into account the rigging that the winner had to overcome.

So, this is a big big win. Hillary had wind on her back whereas Trump was running against the wind.

It is an invisible landslide.

* Trump ran against both parties and won.

Democratic Party spent more money than ever, with all the help of media and institutions.

Many in GOP went over to Hillary camp, sabotaged Trump, released damning videos(pu**ygate), or sat on the sidelines or the on the fence.

He still won.

So, this is a big big win considering the odds he had to overcome.

Hopefully, nevertrumpers will come home in 2020, and cucks will grow some balls by then as the neocons won’t be manipulating them to much.

Trumpean should become an adjective. Herculean Political Will and Feat.

* Jews are the biggest Kool-Aide drinkers, it has to do with class more than anything else. Those who are lower class and removed from aping WASP pretentions, like the Ultra Orthodox, vote Republican regularly. But Orthodox don’t need to keep up appearances at the Club, or on Wall Street, etc.

Lennonism also appeals to secular utopianists. Aka secular Jews, its a disease of the higher IQ.

* The Tammany Hall analogy is very apt. Black voters are the kingmakers of the Dem nomination process. They choose the nominee. Any black candidate in the Dem primary has a huge, built-in advantage. Problem is, the eminently electable Obama was a one off. I don’t see anyone remotely comparable in the Dem ranks. Keith Ellison is a Muslim and unelectable. Their only strong candidate isMichelle, but she hates politics and won’t run. And if the nominee is not black, as in this year, black voters won’t turn out in the general. I can’t see them turning out for someone like Elizabeth Warren any more than they did for Hillary. So it’s either an unelectable black nominee or reduced black turnout for the Dems. It was the lower black turnout in Philly, Detroit and Milwaukee that killed Hillary’s.

* Populism vs. Elitism. The brass support gun control, because the elite does, and that’s who butters the brass’ bread. The rank-and-file oppose it, because their interests are more aligned with the people and sucking up to the elite isn’t on their radar.

Sort of like Jews and the Catholic church. Generally speaking, the Catholic brass were friendly with the Jews, because money and power. The rank-and-file, on the other hand, were hostile, because exploitation of the people. Martin Luther moved between both camps. He started in the cloisters, and Jew-friendly. Then he got outdoors and started working with the people, saw their reality, and turned against the Jews.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* The Immigration Act of 1990 was just as destructive, It increased total, overall immigration to allow 700,000 immigrants to come to the U.S. per year, It provided family based immigration visa, created five distinct employment based visas, categorized by occupation, as well as the diversity visa program which created a lottery to admit immigrants from “low admittance” countries.

Other aspects of the act include lifting the English testing process for naturalization and eliminating the exclusion of homosexuals under the medically unsound classification of “sexual deviant” that was present in the passage of the 1965 Act.

After it became law in 1991, the United States would admit 750,000 new Legal immigrants annually, up from 500,000 before the bill’s passage. The new system continued to favor people with family members that already in the United States, but added 50,000 “diversity visas” for countries from which few were emigrating, as well as 40,000 permanent job-related workers and 65,000 temporary worker visas. Reversing the 1990 immigration act would be a great start. Need to end the green card lottery ASAP. the lottery alone has resulted in almost 2 million immigrants from third world nations. It is a highly destructive immigration policy. We can thank the Bush clan for this.

* One source of Upstate anger, at least in my neck of the woods (Central NY) is Governor Cuomo’s contemptuous treatment of upstaters, from banning fracking in the Marcellus Shale, pushing gun control thru the legislature, doling out enormous chunks of money to his upstate political friends only (see “Buffalo Billion”, a growing scandal) and demanding that the governments of Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse form themselves into one governmental unit, thus making the whites in the suburbs pay taxes to support Syracuse City and its many minority problems. With regard to this last, Cuomo threatened the County and City with retribution if they did not obey his will (exactly what damage he intends to do is so far unspecified).

The fracking ban, by the way, looks to me to be a variant on the Curley Effect. As Cuomo continues to damage the economic prospects of rural and suburban Western/Central New York, whites are leaving the state.Deliberate? I think so.

* This looks like the (real) beginnings of the Republican Party as a white identity party. The more the Dems identify against whites, the more whites move into the Republican column. It will accelerate as the number of government jobs shrink and more whites are working in the private sector. The reactions of SJW’s to the election, similar to the reaction of Labour after Cameron won – suggests they aren’t remotely close to learning the lesson of this election.

Also, I wonder if Trump got more black votes in absolute terms, or if he just got a higher percentage of black votes due to a decline in black turnout.

Two things I predicted prior to this election. One, that black turnout would decline due to black voter fatigue. They’ve had their black president, and nothing else seems quite as good – especially not Hillary Clinton. If Hillary had not followed on the heels of a black president, black voter enthusiasm would be higher. Obama was the money shot for black voters, they’re going to find it hard to readjust to the soft core stuff – especially not if the star is a granny.

Two, the riots; I absolutely predicted the riots. I was going to finally go out and buy a handgun for self-defense just in case, but I never got around to it. I didn’t exactly expect Trump to win, but mostly that was to temper my hopes. I knew that Trump supporters would turn out to the polls more enthusiastically than Hillary supporters, but (especially with what the polls were saying) I didn’t think it would quite be enough.

* Why do you think it’s so shocking that Trump did relatively well with black men? Furthermore, why do you assume that if Trump did well with black men, he did well with the black men who are most likely to be traditional conservatives (military blacks)?

Look, a lot of people, including Steve, said from the beginning that Trump had a certain natural appeal to black people that no other GOP candidate has ever had.

If you gave your average Tyrone $10 billion, he would build a massive skyscraper, with opulent gold toilets and ludicrous columns and brazenly flaunt his wealth by naming it “Tyrone Tower.” He would buy a 747 and call it “Tyrone One.”

This is something that people can’t seem to wrap their head around. Mitt Romney couldn’t get poor whites to vote for him, and he certainly couldn’t get blacks to vote for him. Mitt Romney is a rich white guy. Donald Trump IS NOT a rich white guy. Donald Trump is a middle class guy with a ton of money. There is a huge difference.

Rich white people don’t rail against the establishment and the illuminati. They are the establishment and the illuminati.

Rich white people don’t name massive buildings and airplanes after themselves. They are slightly embarrassed of their wealth.

Rich white people don’t marry and then divorce a string of trophy wives. They are generally pretty conservative in their social lives.

Donald Trump is not a rich white person. Donald Trump is a middle class person who has a lot of money. This is why he got poor and middle class white people to come out of the woodwork to vote for him, and this is why he did better than expected among blacks and hispanics.

* “I wonder how many white New Yorkers secretly voted for Trump because of Bill DeBlasio’s nuttiness…”

If you are going to marry outside of your race, don’t marry that racial group’s bottom of the barrel leftovers.

Bill De Blasio’s wife is so hideous that even a high percentage of Black men would not tap that.

If you are going to marry outside of your race, marry someone who is in the same league looks wise as Matthew McConaughey’s gorgeous Mulatto wife.

* Black support for Donald Trump is overwhelmingly of the Non Tyrone variety. The Black Donald Trump supporters I’ve seen on Fox News have a more impressive vocabulary than the average American Negro, meaning English and not Ebonics is their first language.

* The work must be done to cut third world immigration now. Trump got lucky against a bad candidate. Those Midwestern states are promising but Trump’s decreased margins in Arizona, Georgia and Texas are concerning. A purple Texas will be a big problem for the GOP. Texas Republicans must do what they can to prevent this.

A Prayer To HaShem

Posted on November 13, 2016 by Luke Ford

Chaim Amalek posts: A Further Impromptu And Sincere Prayer to Hashem:
Lord,God, in your infinite wisdom you have chosen to chastise the “off the derech” [apostate] Jew, the Merkel, the Soros, the Blitzer, and the Liberal. You have given the goy the wisdom to make Donald Trump President. Now I beseech You to make President Trump wiser than he has ever been. Give him the political strength as president to build the Wall, drive out most of the illegals, rebuild our military, rework all of our international trade agreements, and give him the power to achieve all of this inside of two years. Then please make him confident enough in his achievements to resign from office, shortly before completing his second year in office for a well deserved retirement. taking Pence with him. Then let the goyim and the darker ones turn to someone who will listen to your wise servant AMALEK to further guide this great nation of yours. Thank you.

LIBERALS! Chaim Amalek has always been 20 years ahead of the curve. So in that spirit, I hereby declare myself a liberal in a hurry, just like you. And that means SOCIALISM. Combined with some NATIONALISMJust like they have in ISRAEL. It may also mean TRIBALISM, in which case, yes, feel free to call me a WHITE ZIONIST, although I am as dusky as a December sunset in New York on a cloudy day.

It is possible to be right on one one or two key issues (or more!) and still be wholly unsuited to serve as President of the United States. Just saying.

What this country needs is a new political party that embraces:
1. The need for strongly defended borders and an immigration police force to expel those here illegally.
2. A measure of socialism for things like health care, old age pensions, and schooling.
3. A nationalistic outlook, putting Americans and America first.
4. High taxes (like when Eisenhower was President) on Wall Street. And high taxes on corporate CEOs who did not start their own companies.
5. A mighty military, including nukes.
6. A foreign policy that is mostly hands off and that does not bother trying to civilize other nations to our standards at gunpoint.
7. Limiting immigration into the US to emigration out of the US on a country -by-country basis.
8. Paying illegal aliens a minimum wage of $75/hour, collectible on their way out of the US, right at the border or airport jetway.
9. Pushing advanced nuclear power reactors (e.g., molten salt, thorium, etc.).
10. Fracking wherever the locals also embrace it.
11. Seeing Americans not as mere consumers, but as producers – workers, and adjusting trade policies accordingly.
12. Breaking up the great media combinations that have occurred over the last 30 years.
13. Re-establishing something like Glass-Steagall for banks.
14. Letting women figure out how to handle unwanted pregnancies on their own, in most cases.
15. Shooting heroin smugglers after a suitable speedy trial.
16. Boosting the minimum wage, banning unpaid internships at wealthy companies, and in general, offering the American worker the sort of benefits that German workers have.
The first party that organizes itself around these principles wins and replaces one of the other two.
