How Dare The Goyim Choose The Unapproved Option

Jews are often ahead of the curve, but they have been way behind the rise of Trump. It stumps the Jewish elites.

Forward: How Republican Jews Utterly Failed To Prevent Rise of ‘Toxic’ Donald Trump

There is no sugarcoating it — these are the darkest days for Republican Jews like myself. Donald Trump, the most likely Republican candidate for president, has built within our party the nearest thing America has ever seen to a European nativist working class political movement. Such movements, to put it mildly, have never been good for the Jews or allies of free thought and the free market.
Trump has a commanding lead, which he extended significantly with wins on Super Tuesday. The only way he can be stopped is if blue state Republicans — those living in New York, Maryland, California and other states whose primaries fall after Super Tuesday and contain significant numbers of delegates — side with the conventionally conservative Marco Rubio. It’s possible, though not likely.
Republican Jews are therefore beside themselves, and rightly so. Trump has proven himself anathema on so many levels that it’s hard to identify just one element of his personality or his adopted policy agenda that is particularly toxic.

It’s not just his appeal to nativism, or his crony capitalism, or his crassness, or his expressed desire for “neutrality” between Israel and the Palestinians, or his admiration for Vladimir Putin, or his quotation of Mussolini, or his approval of the crushing of Chinese democracy protesters, or his rejection of permitting any Muslims into the country, or his initial refusal to forswear the endorsement of white supremacists.
It could be any of these things, it could be all of these things, but what perhaps bothers Republican Jews most is this: They think Trump would also abuse the office’s powers. Again, the Jewish experience with overweening, oversensitive wannabe dictator-chieftains is not a good one.
The fact that Trump has a daughter who has, in marriage, embraced the Jewish faith is largely immaterial to Republican Jews. We don’t vote on the basis of personal identity or inherited identity — if we did, we would have supported Gore-Lieberman (we didn’t) and today we would support Bernie Sanders (we don’t).
Let’s assess the opportunity that was lost. At the outset of the campaign there were three or four trusted candidates who enjoyed meaningful Republican Jewish support because of what they were likely to do to repudiate and reverse Barack Obama’s policy gains: Jeb Bush (for whom I worked as a speechwriter), Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and, to a lesser extent, Scott Walker. Today, Republican Jews have coalesced around the last of these men who still stand for office: Rubio and Cruz.
Unless either of these men emerges with a come-from-behind victory, the opportunity to undo the Obama agenda is lost. Fix the U.S.-Israel relationship? Trump wants to stay neutral. Focus on the economy? Trump offers no credible specifics. Pull back the regulatory state? Trump has a business history replete with special deals, use of the bankruptcy courts and eminent domain to suit his own development projects. Politically, he has saved his most vicious attacks for other Republicans, rather than for Clinton or Obama.
The best Trump can offer Republican Jews is not who he is, but who he isn’t: Hillary Clinton. Choosing between these two isn’t exactly Sophie’s choice — we’d rather let them both go.
But let’s not kid ourselves: What Republican Jews do or don’t do is not really the core issue. What matters is what we take away from this politically life-changing moment. This is about the entire Republican Party.

Neo-Cons Declare War On Trump

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* That the Republican establishment apparently cares more about the support of “several dozen GOP foreign policy insiders” than it does for 80 million Trump voters tells you everything about how they got to this point.

* Trump’s vision of foreign policy is actually extremely sensible, which is why it’s foreign to these Israel-firsters.

It’s a foreign policy that puts America first. What would American foreign policy look like if America actually cared about America? What would the world look like if America actually cared about itself?

* There’s a Hispanic Republican/Trump opponent on Twitter who raised the neutrality issue too, implying that it means Trump, former Grand Marshall of New York’s Israel Day Parade, and celebrity endorser of Israeli PM Netanyahu, sees a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. But a more likely interpretation is that Trump was pointing out the difficulty of negotiating a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians while we are more committed to being a strong ally of Israel than being an honest broker.

Reading between the lines, it seems a President Trump wouldn’t waste energy on negotiating a final peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Instead, he’d have a policy of benign neglect toward the conflict, while focusing his energy on making America great again.

Perhaps, in the 7th year of a Trump administration, if we had full employment, 4% annual GDP growth, and everything was going great here — and the Israelis and the Palestinians had made progress toward a deal on their own and asked for his help with a final push — then maybe he’d apply his “Art of the Deal” to the problem. Otherwise, probably not.

* I wonder if all the neocons plus Jennifer Rubin plus William Kristol, et al. will be asked to “disavow” Avigdor Lieberman, the former foreign minister of Israel and demand that Benjamin Nentayahu do the same (or lose his long-standing reservations to address the U.S. Congress). Lieberman, of course, is a famous “separatist,” along the lines of David Duke and Louis Farrakan:

“Lieberman Plan[edit]
Main article: Lieberman Plan
According to Lieberman, “The peace process is based on three false basic assumptions; that Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main cause of instability in the Middle East, that the conflict is territorial and not ideological, and that the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders will end the conflict.”[49]
In late May 2004, Lieberman proposed a plan in which the populations and territories of Israeli Jews and Arabs, including some Israeli Arabs, would be “separated”. According to the plan, also known as the “Populated-Area Exchange Plan”, Israeli Arab towns adjacent to Palestinian Authority areas would be transferred to Palestinian Authority, and only those Arab Israelis who migrated from the area to within Israel’s new borders and pledged loyalty to Israel would be allowed to remain Israeli citizens. On 30 May 2004, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon condemned Lieberman’s statements, stating “We regard Israeli Arabs as part of the State of Israel.”[50] On 4 June 2004, as the disputes over the up-coming disengagement plan grew more intense, Sharon dismissed Lieberman from the cabinet.[51][52]“

Donald Trump’s Will To Power

If the military fall in behind Trump, he can do anything. If he appoints conservative southern whites to run the military, they will support a Trump reign to the hilt.

If I were in the MSM, I’d be a tad nervous about my safety. People really really hate you.

I don’t think you can over-estimate the fright that nationalists currently feel about America. You can’t over-estimate their desperation. Many of them see Donald Trump as the last best hope for America. They’re willing to die for Trump. How many Americans are willing to die for Hillary?

In the atmosphere of hate Trump has created, anything is possible.

Awake Goy: “That would be awful! I work with a guy who studies Southeast Asia and he goes to Singapore all the time and he virtue signals all the leftist hand-wringing about the ‘autocratic’ nature of it… but finally he concedes that it is the safest, most beautiful city he’s ever visited, and the people seem genuinely happy in measures not imaginable in the West as it currently exists. I sure hope we don’t end up like that. Just hope we can stay vibrant.”

Chaim Amalek: “And ever more diverse. Don’t forget that. Diversity is what makes us vibrant and prosperous.”

“I’m going to invent a new device to help called the vibrantor. Women will love it.”

If we lose our values in all this, then we’ve lost everything. It’s all about process, the constitution, and staying true to who we are.

Do Jews Surf?

Is that a traditional Jewish practice? In LA, it seems like many of the Jews surf. In New York, Jews don’t surf.
Either you learn or you earn. No playtime allowed.
That’s for goyim.
I worry about this Trump thing. It may lead to hundreds of establishment figures jumping off cliffs.

Lead Lowers IQ Levels, Mexican Immigration Lowers America’s Average IQ

I hear news about Flint, Michigan, all the time, about how the lead in the drinking water can lead to lower IQs and how horrible that is. In this type of story, the MSM displays no doubts about the importance of IQ. Also, when it comes to morons getting off the death penalty because they are so stupid, again the MSM believes in the importance of IQ.

What about latino immigration? That lowers America’s average IQ. How come there’s no hand wringing in the MSM about that? When low-IQ folks have more children than high IQ folks, that lowers the average IQ. Why isn’t that a major issue?

Jason Richwine writes for Politico:

My Harvard Ph.D. dissertation contains some scientifically unremarkable statements about ethnic differences in average IQ, including the IQ difference between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites. For four years, the dissertation did what almost every other dissertation does — collected dust in the university library. But when it was unearthed in the midst of the immigration debate, I experienced the vilification firsthand.

For people who have studied mental ability, what’s truly frustrating is the déjà vu they feel each time a media firestorm like this one erupts. Attempts by experts in the field to defend the embattled messenger inevitably fall on deaf ears. When the firestorm is over, the media’s mindset always resets to a state of comfortable ignorance, ready to be shocked all over again when the next messenger comes along.
At stake here, incidentally, is not just knowledge for the sake of knowledge, but also how science informs public policy. The U.S. education system, for example, is suffused with mental testing, yet few in the political classes understand cognitive ability research. Angry and repeated condemnations of the science will not help.
What scholars of mental ability know, but have never successfully gotten the media to understand, is that a scientific consensus, based on an extensive and consistent literature, has long been reached on many of the questions that still seem controversial to journalists.
For example, virtually all psychologists believe there is a general mental ability factor (referred to colloquially as “intelligence”) that explains much of an individual’s performance on cognitive tests. IQ tests approximately measure this general factor. Psychologists recognize that a person’s IQ score, which is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, usually remains stable upon reaching adolescence. And they know that IQ scores are correlated with educational attainment, income, and many other socioeconomic outcomes.
In terms of group differences, people of northeast Asian descent have higher average IQ scores than people of European lineage, who in turn have higher average scores than people of sub-Saharan African descent. The average score for Hispanic Americans falls somewhere between the white and black American averages. Psychologists have tested and long rejected the notion that score differences can be explained simply by biased test questions. It is possible that genetic factors could influence IQ differences among ethnic groups, but many scientists are withholding judgment until DNA studies are able to link specific gene combinations with IQ.

How can I be sure all of this reflects mainstream thinking? Because, over the years, psychologists have put together statements, reports, and even books aimed at synthesizing expert opinion on IQ. Many of these efforts were made in explicit response to the periodic media firestorms that engulfed people who spoke publicly about cognitive science. It’s worth reviewing some of those incidents and detailing the scholarly responses — responses that are invariably forgotten before the next furor begins. I’ll place my own experience in that context.
Let’s start 25 years ago, with the publication of The IQ Controversy, a book by Mark Snyderman and Stanley Rothman. The authors surveyed more than 1,000 experts in the field of cognitive science to develop a picture of what the mainstream really looks like. It was very similar to the description I’ve supplied above.
Snyderman and Rothman then systematically analyzed television, newspaper, and magazine coverage of IQ issues. They were alarmed to find that the media were presenting a much different picture than what the expert survey showed. Based on media portrayals, it would seem that most experts think IQ scores have little meaning, that genes have no influence on IQ, and that the tests are hopelessly biased. “Our work demonstrates that, by any reasonable standard, media coverage of the IQ controversy has been quite inaccurate,” the authors concluded.

In conducting the expert survey and contrasting the results with media depictions of IQ research, one would think Snyderman and Rothman had performed a valuable service. Surely public discussion of IQ would now be more firmly grounded in science?
It didn’t happen. Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray’s The Bell Curve was published in 1994, and real science was hard to find in the media circus that ensued. Herrnstein and Murray’s central claim about IQ differences shaping class divisions continues to be the subject of reasoned debate among social scientists. But non-experts in the media questioned whether IQ is even a valid concept. Intelligence research – psychometrics — is a pseudoscience, they said. The tests are meaningless, elitist, biased against women and minorities, important only to genetic determinists. And even to discuss group differences in IQ was called racist.
In short, the media did everything Snyderman and Rothman had warned against six years earlier. As a consequence, the interesting policy implications explored by Herrnstein and Murray were lost in the firestorm.

Donald Trump Was Not An Approved Option!

These goyim think they can just elect whomever they want! Goyim get to pick one from APPROVED options. This is NOT acceptable. Trump was never an approve option! We run America and we will tell you who you can choose. Oy gevalt, if goyim start running their own countries, where will it end?

Thank G-d, Bill Kristol has a sure-fire way to take back the GOP from the goy voters:

Kristol Lays Out Strategy to Give White House to Hillary: Trump ‘Shouldn’t Win’

In order to defeat Donald Trump, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol admits he is prepared to hand Hillary Clinton the Oval Office. On Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” the Republican Establishment leader laid out his plot to deprive Trump of the 50% of delegates necessary to secure the nomination. From there, the idea is to go into a brokered convention and cut a kamikaze deal that awards enough delegates to an “acceptable” candidate (who will have won far fewer votes, states, and delegates than Trump).

The problem with the Establishment brokering a behind-closed-door deal that hands the nomination to a Sen. Marco Rubio, is that the backlash against the Republican Party is almost certain to hand Hillary Clinton the presidency.

If a bunch of rich, angry GOP elites rob Trump supporters of their victory, the blowback will result in so many voters staying home in November, Hillary wins. As NBC’s Chuck Todd pointed out last night, at this point the delegate math is such that the only way to stop Trump is through this scheme at the convention.

As you’ll see below, that outcome is preferable to Kristol, and by extension it is safe to assume that outcome is also fine with the rest of the Republican Establishment.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: The fact of the matter is that you know there is no historical precedent with someone doing as well as Candidate Trump did yesterday — winning New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, [losing the nomination] has never happened before, and as you know there is a momentum, a forward progress–

BILL KRISTOL: Right, so we have to stop the momentum, I totally agree.

SCARBOROUGH: So that’s my question. There’s no cheering here. I am looking at facts.

KRISTOL: To your credit, you have correctly seen that this was not going to be the historically normal year, and it’s not, so maybe we go–

SCARBOROUGH: So how do you beat him?

KRISTOL: You have to beat him in Florida and Ohio, the first two winner-take-all states, which means there has to be a de facto agreement between the opposition candidates — between the resistance to Trump, which I am proud to be a part of, because I think he’d be a terrible nominee and a terrible president…

SCARBOROUGH: You have the authority to broker that deal right now?

KRISTOL: Well, they need to. They need to defer to Rubio in Florida and probably to Kasich in Ohio, and say, or imply, that if you are a Cruz voter in Ohio, and if you look up the day before the primary and it’s Trump 42%, Kasich 35% — vote for Kasich. And the truth is if Trump doesn’t win Florida and Ohio, it remains very much of an open race. …

Donald Trump [so far] has 35% of the popular vote and 47% of the delegates. That’s a lot better than having 24% of the popular vote and 25% of the delegates, granted. …

JOHN HEILEMANN: Just to go a little further on this topic of what Bill’s advocating: As you talk more and more to Republicans, who will say to you privately and sometimes publicly, that they would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than for Donald Trump, [these are the] people who are going to try to stop him — their attitude is: We know that would happen at a contested convention if we took the nomination away from a Donald Trump [who has won through] a plurality of delegates.

What would happen is that we would likely alienate his supporters and we would likely lose the presidential election. But their position is that it would be better for us to lose the [general] election than to have Donald Trump tear the Party in half as the nominee.

Now you can say that’s suicidal, but that is the posture of people [worried] about the negative effects down ballot.

KRISTOL: And [Trump] would still lose the election. And shouldn’t win the election, So, yeah, I agree.

This is a good time to ask where this scorch-earthed mentality was when America needed it most to stop Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Coming Out As A Gay Woman Talmud Teacher

I suspect a higher percentage of women who are into Talmud (or sports) are lesbians than of woman as a whole. I suspect a higher percentage of female rabbis are lesbians than of women as a whole.

If somebody violates the norms of Orthodox Judaism, but keeps it quiet, it is one thing. When somebody publishes an op-ed about it, how should the Orthodox community respond? What kind of Orthodox high school employs someone like this?

Female homosexuality is not as serious a sin in Orthodox Judaism as male homosexuality, which is expressly forbidden in the written Torah.

Forward:

hat is it like to be a Soloveichik?” This question about my well-known rabbinic family name has accompanied me for much of my life. My grandfather was Ahron Soloveichik and my great-uncle was Joseph B. Soloveitchik. The questions about my identity became even more complex when, three years ago, I came out as gay in the Orthodox community — while I was a Talmud teacher at an Orthodox high school.
Growing up in my learned Orthodox family, I viewed life through the lens of Halacha. I loved Judaism and could not imagine what it meant to live life not as an Orthodox Jew.
When, as a teenager, I became aware of my attraction to women, I did not know of anyone in my community who was Orthodox and gay. So I convinced myself that I wasn’t gay. I was afraid, and my fear kept me closeted and cut off from myself for a long time. I was scared of losing my beliefs, my family, my friends and my community.
As an adult, I began to confront the fears around my sexual identity. At the time, I taught Talmud at SAR High School, a modern Orthodox high school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. The intertwining of my professional and personal lives added another dimension of fear to my coming-out process: the fear of losing my job.
Slowly, I began coming out to myself and those close to me. The beginning of my coming-out process and the confrontation of my well-founded fears were incredibly painful. I gradually became more comfortable with myself. It became clear to me that to be a healthy person, I could not be closeted and live in fear of people discovering who I was.
I still loved Orthodoxy and deeply wanted to remain part of that community. I spoke to the administration and members of the board at SAR High School. After various conflicting messages and a lack of transparency, I was informed that if I came out as gay while at SAR High School, the school would not support me. If parents asked to have their children removed from my classes, the school would do so, and I would be at risk of losing my position. Such a hostile and unsafe work environment was not tenable for me, and in June 2013 I left my job.
The following year was the most difficult one in my coming-out process. I was devastated, both from my experiences at SAR and from my other coming-out experiences in the Orthodox community. I suffered from depression. I did not know what to do with the broken pieces that had once comprised the framework of my life.
With the support of many true friends, I slowly began to rebuild my life. Today, I believe I am more compassionate because of what I have experienced. Since exploring different ways of living a Jewish life, I no longer identify as Orthodox. I understand the power and beauty of belonging to the Orthodox community and the power and beauty of my life as I have chosen to make it now. Although I do not want to change my current life, I do not wish on anyone else the suffering that I experienced to get to this point.
As someone who has been but is no longer part of the Orthodox community, I now speak for the sake of the LGBT people who grow up in that community and for the sake of the humanity of the entire Orthodox world.
Orthodoxy is an identity that consists of many intertwined components, including an attachment to the Orthodox world and a commitment to its values. It is urgently necessary for all members of this world to contribute to making the Orthodox identity a healthy one for the LGBT people who want to keep it. Otherwise, this community is setting up many queer people who grow up in it for a lot of suffering.
Frankly, teaching LGBT children that the only valuable life is one that is part of the Orthodox community and then communicating to those children that they cannot be a full part of that community is irresponsible and dangerous.
Lack of support around queer issues, whether in schools, synagogues or elsewhere in a Jewish environment, communicates that LGBT people’s suffering and unhappiness do not matter. It communicates to everyone in that environment that it’s okay for a community to decide that some people just don’t matter. The Orthodox world can be better than that, and it must be, both for the sake of its queer members and for the sake of its own humanity.
Pesia Soloveichik is a high school rabbinics teacher at the Solomon Schechter School of Westchester. She completed the Graduate Program for Women in Advanced Talmudic Studies at Yeshiva University and earned an M.S. in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania.

Forward: Jewish Republicans Scramble To Stop Donald Trump After ‘Neutral’ on Israel Declaration

Jewish Republicans have never been a constituency Donald Trump could lean on for support. But recent comments made by the New York billionaire and what seems to be his unstoppable race to the Republican nomination, have only made things worse.
Some in the community are sounding alarm bells, calling for action before it is too late to stop Trump’s race to the top, but others in the Jewish Republican camp are cautioning against collectively rejecting Trump.
“If he will be the eventual candidate, you don’t want him to be an enemy,” said Fred Zeidman, a major Jewish Republican donor from Texas who had initially backed Jeb Bush and is now waiting on the sidelines. “The last thing I ever want is to have an enemy in the White House.”

But others believe that Trump’s comments on Israel and his initial refusal to disavow White Supremacist groups pose a real problem for Jewish voters on the Republican side.
“Trump promising he’ll be neutral when it comes to Israel is highly concerning,” said a Jewish Republican activist. “Jewish Republicans,” the activist who asked not to be identified because his organization does not endorse candidates, “are obviously troubled by these comments.”
Several Jewish donors and activists contact by the Forward avoided speaking on record against Trump, even after Republican lawmakers announced they would not vote for Trump if he wins the GOP nomination.
Trump’s ascent has spurred an unusual Jewish political coalition. Pro-Israel Republicans, neo-conservative ideologues, and human rights activists have all been ramping up their criticism of Trump, in public and in private discussions. Some are actively calling for a joint Jewish effort to block Trump from becoming the GOP nominee.
Some, like historian Robert Kagan, who is considered among the fathers of American neoconservatism, have taken bold steps. Kagan, announced in a Washington Post article that Trump’s emergence as the most popular Republican candidate has led him to cross the political line: “For this former Republican, and perhaps for others, the only choice will be to vote for Hillary Clinton,” Kagan wrote. “The party cannot be saved, but the country still can be.”

Dan Senor, a Jewish Republican columnist and former Bush administration official, wouldn’t go as far as throwing his support behind Clinton, but made a clear pledge not to vote for Trump if he becomes his party’s nominee. “I’m not voting for Donald Trump. I’m not voting for him in the primary and I’m not for him in the general,” Senor told Bloomberg Politics.
Others have taken to an activist campaign in attempt to dissuade conservative voters who care about Israel and support a strong American international stature, from accepting the inevitability of a Trump candidacy. The Emergency Committee for Israel, a pro-Israel organization headed by leading neoconservative William Kristol, released on February 28 a video ad titled “Trump Loves Dictators.” The spot is compiled of clips in which Trump speaks positively of ousted leaders Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Mouammar Kadhafi of Libya, as well as Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. “How can Trump make America great when he’s kissing up to anti-American dictators?” the ad concludes. Kristol, in a press release, said: “If you’re pro-Israel, you shouldn’t be pro-Trump. Apologists for dictators aren’t reliable friends of the Jewish state.”
Trump’s February 17 refusal, during an interview on MSNBC, to take sides in the Israeli – Palestinian conflict raised eyebrows among many Jewish Republicans. “Let me be sort of a neutral guy,” Trump said, explaining that only this stance could make him acceptable on both sides as an honest broker. The comment, a clear deviation from the automatic siding with Israel which has become the standard among candidates, was viewed by Trump’s rivals as an opportunity to attack the frontrunner. During the February 25 Republican debate, Trump tried to defend his stand, stating he was “totally pro-Israel” and explaining the need to make sure none of the sides see him as biased against them.
But for some Jewish Republicans, Trump’s explanations did little to put to rest their lingering doubts regarding his position on Israel. “He can’t just paper over these comments by saying he’s pro-Israel,” a Jewish Republican activist said a day after the debate. “Donald Trump failed that test last night. He’s words were very troubling.”
Jay Lefkowitz, a Jewish Republican who served on both Bush administrations, called a choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in November would be “very depressing.” From the perspective of Israel,Lefkowitz added, “based on Clinton’s record and Trump’s statements, I would have serious concerns about both candidates.”

Steve Sailer: Should NYT Renounce Carlos Slim for Exploiting Poor Mexicans? Should Slim Dynasty Renounce Their Fascist Relatives?

Steve Sailer writes:

But this notion that Hispanics are a race tied together by blood who are the hereditary victims of racism by the white race, present and past, raises peculiarly delicate questions for the New York Times. If the sins of non-Hispanics ancestors are on the table for a full airing, what about dynasty that is the largest shareholder in the New York Times itself?

It would be especially interesting to discuss why the six heirs of the New York Times’ financial savior, Carlos Slim, would qualify for affirmative action as Hispanics if they moved to America, considering that they are pure Lebanese Maronite by descent, with a great-grandfather, Pierre Gemayel, who founded the fascist Phalangist paramilitary of Lebanon and a great uncle who was the most notorious rightwing warlord in modern Lebanese history. When Slim’s wife’s uncle was famously assassinated in 1982 during Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, setting off the Sabra and Shatila massacres perpetrated by his followers, the NYT obituary featured the great headline: “Bashir Gemayel Lived by the Sword.”

It’s also likely although less certain that Slim’s mother, Linda Helú Atta, was related to another founder of the Phalange, Charles Helou, later President of Lebanon. The Mexican government forced Arab immigrants to Hispanicize the spelling of their last names — e.g., Salim to Slim — so it’s likely that Helu and Helou are the same name, although how close they are genealogically remains uninvestigated.

We do know that Carlos Slim’s maternal grandfather brought a printing press to Mexico with him from the Levant and started an Arabic newspaper in Mexico, so the Helus and Helous sound sociologically quite similar. Indeed, Carlos’s Mexican-born cousin Alfredo Harp Helu is also a billionaire.

If so, the Slim heirs aren’t products of random romantic attraction, but of dynastic marriages among the leading far right Lebanese clans. This helps explain the Slim family’s career choices in Mexico, such as Carlos’ older brother’s Julian’s career with a Mexican government secret police force accused of torturing and disappearing leftists.

All this is a topic that the NYT has shown extremely little interest in reporting during the years in which Slim has been the leading stockholder in the newspaper…

Perhaps Donald Trump should ask the New York Times to renounce Carlos Slim as a monopolist exploiter of poor Mexicans?

Perhaps the New York Times should ask the Slim family to renounce their Fascist relatives?

Comments to Steve Sailer:

Steve Sailer: Bill Clinton to Relentlessly Denounce Trump (Between Nines at Trump National Golf Club – Westchester)

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* If this were a Tom Wolfe novel, we’d soon find out that Trump’s streetwise private eye had surreptitiously recorded Clinton saying or doing things at Trump National that would cause Hillary problems if exposed.

* Wait a minute. GOP establishment has been telling us Trump has to go because he’s vulgar and crude. And Rubio has been presented as a classy alternative. So, why is he doing the Howard Stern thing?

* The irony of Trump is he is seen as the anti-immigrant candidate but has the hunger, the fire in the belly, of an immigrant.

In METROPOLITAN, the established wasp elites fret a lot, lack confidence, and just await their decline to irrelevance. This is what stuck out about Jeb. He seemed so settled whereas Trump has some of that Davy Crockett adventurer about him.

Trump acts like he got off the boat with Tony Montana.

And a NYer of all people who’s come to represent flyover country?

Something is strange here.

Maybe Trump has one thing in common with Obama.

Though Obama was much favored by rich Libs and Jews, he felt as an outsider. He knew they were using him for his symbolic value.

Likewise, Trump was used by rich NY Jews in the way that Gatsby is used in the novel by those richer and smarter than he. He has the frontman image that the others don’t have.

If Trump had been surrounded by Wasps, maybe he would have felt differently. But having been surrounded by Jews who used his name and face, maybe he felt sort of ‘used’ like Obama.

And so, he gets a kick out of connecting with people ‘left behind’.

Or maybe it’s all just shtick.

In business, he always felt beholden to others. He was with others richer and smarter than him. But speaking to crowds, he really feels like boss and top dog.

* Hillary also thought she had the 2008 nomination locked up, and that Obama, the one-term do-nothing Senator, wasn’t anything to worry about. Whoops.

Hillary also thought she had a button that said “reset” in Russian that she gave to Putin, and that she would be a good Secretary of State and work with him. Whoops. The word actually meant “overcharge” in Russian, and Putin spent the last 8 years taking advantage of her and America’s gaffes.

Hillary also thought Bernie Sanders wouldn’t be a threat at all. Whoops. Bernie’s showing in Iowa and New Hampshire scared the crap outta her and the dems.

Let’s face it: Hillary is extremely bad at campaigning, diplomacy, and judging the danger of situations. Bill, ever a more man of the people, is way more right.

Now the way Trump beats her is simple: don’t harp on the nitpickiness of her millions of scandals, just assume the sale about her being a crook, and then hit her with a metaphorical Kill Shot insult. He’s already alluded to her seeming tired, which might work. I’m sure he’s got 3-4 major insults lined up.

* I also found an article by a physician, John McDougall, M.D., claiming that Bill Clinton’s “madness” is “a consequence of heart-bypass surgery brain damage”. With a sympathy that I don’t share, given all the horrible things the toxic Clintons have wrought, Dr. McDougall writes:

One of the savviest politicians of our generation, known for his wit, charm, and calm under extreme pressure, Bill Clinton appears out of character in the speeches and interviews televised since his bypass surgery September 6, 2004 and his mental deterioration may be accelerating….

One of the best-kept secrets in medicine is the brain damage caused during bypass surgery . . . these well-recognized side effects have been reported in medical journals since 1969.1

Brain damage during bypass surgery is so common that hospital personnel refer to it as “pump head.” The primary cause is emboli produced during surgery from clamping the aorta and from the “heart-lung machine.” This machine pumps blood to keep the patient alive while the heart is stopped during the operation. Unfortunately, this pump also introduces toxic gases, fat globules, and bits of plastic debris into the bloodstream of the patient under anesthesia. Once they are in the bloodstream, these particles migrate to the brain where they can clog capillaries and prevent adequate amounts of blood and oxygen from flowing to the brain. Essentially, all patients experience brain emboli during surgery and for many the damage is permanent.

In 2001, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that 5-years after bypass surgery 42% of patients showed decline in mental function of approximately 20 percent or more.2 A study published this year (2008) in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery using MRI testing just after bypass surgery found brain damage in 51% of patients.3 Three years after their time on the bypass pump, significant permanent reduction in mental capacity was identified in 31% of patients. I am not talking major stroke here; but these patients can’t remember names or numbers as they once did…

* Trump needs to raise the bid. He must have known that his “David Duke” moment was going to happen which is why I find his unprepared response puzzling . My two cents is that on a national TV news station, openly and un-equivalently disavow David Duke and the Klan / Nazis. Then, at his next 20,000 all white stadium event, he needs to quickly disavow one more time prepare his supporters for the fact that they will be smeared the same way and that the election will only be about race and sex baiting. His opponents, including the press, will be caught in a trap of their own making. Clearly, this is the moment if ever, to turn this around. Even if the Democrats win the Presidential election, their relationship with white-Americans will be so scarred that the divide will never heal. It would take a certain measure of balls to pull this off but there isn’t a better man to do it.

* I saw photos of Bill Clinton at Chelsea’s wedding and he didn’t look like he’d live out the year. He’s still around. He does not look good, however. I wonder what neurological problems Hillary might have. I mentioned a fall at 3:00 a.m to a person with a medical background without specifying the person involved, and her instant reaction was “stroke.” Granted it was an uninformed diagnosis but the fact that she said it without hesitation meant something to me. It would also partially explain the long rehabiitation period–more than a concussion was involved. I have also read that Hillary drinks rather heavily. A repeat of Woodrow Wilson’s second term is possible if she’s elected: imagine a neurologically-damaged Hillary Clinton Presidency being managed by a troika of Bill Clinton, Huma Abedin and Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky.

* One of the things that strikes me about the criticism of Trump, from both the right and the left, is that there seems to be no consistent line on exactly what his supposedly horrendous candidacy represents.

For one critic, it’s that he’s an authoritarian. For another, it’s that he’s a full on liberal. For another, it’s that he is a foaming right wing nut. For another, it’s that he’s a racist. For another, it’s that he’s vulgarian. But for all of these critics, he’s a monster who will destroy all we hold sacred.

Now at least some of the claims can’t easily be reconciled. He may be a liberal demon to some conservatives, and he may be a crazy wingnut to some liberals, but he can’t really be both. One would think that at the very least if he truly represented something horrible, there would be broad consensus as to what in particular is so very bad and dangerous about him.

But I’m not seeing anything like a consistent picture. His monstrosity seems to assume very different shapes for different people.

* Larry Summers just came out and condemned Trump as the greatest present threat to the prosperity and security of the United States.

Now that’s a ringing endorsement when that mega-crook starts spewing FUD like a broken sewer main.

Still it shows that the anti-Trump list just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

So far we have:

CNN
FoxNews
MSNBC
WSJ
WaPo
LAT
NYT
The GOP
Dozens of top GOP congressmen
The Democratic party
Chambers of Commerce
Club for Growth
Silicon Valley billionaires
Hedge fund billionaires
Koch brothers
Adelson
The entire staff at the National Review
The Weekly Standard
Hollywood

The level of fear and loathing from the establishment is reaching levels that are beyond our comprehension.

* All it will take is for Trump to go to the funeral of a slain officer or a white child who was killed by a ghetto rat and it will be like kicking an ant hill. Maybe the left should stop playing with this race thing while they can still claim to be ahead.

* I got the feeling Obama and the Democrats are realizing that there is a problem with not showing enough respect to police and armed forces: I feel like there was sooo much attention given to the medal award for the Seal Team 6 officer (a man from rust-belt Ohio) yesterday.

* I didn’t read the Larry Summers article because one brazen lie that jumped out at me was enough. Referring to Trump’s initial refusal to “disavow” David Duke’s endorsement of him, Summers says Trump “has already flirted with the Ku Klux Klan”.
