Dawn Of The Dead In America’s Malls

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Paul Kersey writes: Tom Singleton, his wife Mary, and their son Dylan went shopping at the Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania in February 2015. It almost cost them their lives. An argument between two black gangs ended in gunfire. As thugs like these are not known for their accuracy, it was the Singleton family that was shot. Tom’s femoral artery was severed and Mary was struck in the back. [Lawsuit alleges Monroeville Mall owners knew about security risks, by Kaitlin Zurawsky, WTAE, October 16, 2015] The suspect was exactly what you’d expect: black thug named Tarod Thornhill (right) who, despite being only 17, loved posing as a criminal on social media and had a history of gun violations [Monroeville shooting suspect has record of gun violations, by Liz Navratil, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, February 10, 2015]

Monroeville Mall is famous because it was the setting for the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead. Director George Romero transformed the banal location into a scene of bloody horror. But in today’s America, slaughter and anarchy at a shopping mall is practically cliché. And after Christmas, once again, chaos erupted at shopping malls across America that could have easily led to the kind of violence inflicted on the Singleton family.

The largest riot took place at the Mall St. Matthews in a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. Although the town is mostly white, thousands of “kids and teens” engaged in a giant brawl, forcing shoppers to find “safe havens” in stores to escape [Louisville Mall Shut Down After 2,000 Kids, Teens Fight, Lex18, December 27, 2015]. One shopper called it the “scariest moment she has ever had” and police radio captures people begging for help [Police radio traffic at Mall St. Matthews: ‘We need help. We need people over here’, by Antoinette Konz, WDRB, December 28, 2015]

The cameras capture mobs of blacks running through the mall as business owners tried to protect their customers [Cameras capture chaos that shut down Mall St. Matthews, by Josh Breslow, WDRB, December 28, 2015]. The scenes uncannily resemble the opening stages of a zombie movie, as the fragile fabric of civilization begins to rip apart and physical safety is no longer taken for granted.

More than fifty officers were dispatched to the mall, which was ultimately evacuated and shut down. Needless to say, no one was arrested [Mall St. Matthews shut down Saturday night after police respond to numerous “riots,” by Fallon Glick, WDRB December 27, 2015]/

And, needless to say, the government and police did not mention the ethnicity of the raceless youths.

In fact, the white mayor of St. Matthews, Rick Tonini [Email him] did his best impression of a Vichy France politician and immediately blamed ennui as the reason black people scared patrons at the mall:

Mayor Tonini says it’s likely the teens didn’t have anything better to do that night, and the mall became the hangout spot. He says he doesn’t believe the kids meant any harm and supports police for not making any arrests.
“When you were 14, 15, or 16 years of age and had nothing to do on a Saturday, you’d look for something to do,” said Mayor Tonini. “I don’t think anyone left their home with the idea that they were going to do any harm. The only real harm that was done was stores had to close early.”
“What are we going to arrest them for — being noisy? There were some kids who were mouthy and a little bit belligerent towards the police,” Tonini said. “I don’t think, in this case arrests would have done anything but incite more panic.”

Obama’s Hypocrisy on the Plight of Middle Eastern Christians

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Srdja Trifkovic writes:

“In some areas of the Middle East where church bells have rung for centuries on Christmas Day, this year they will be silent,” President Barack Obama said in a statement on December 23. “This silence bears tragic witness to the brutal atrocities committed against these communities by ISIL.” This is a misleading and hypocritical statement for four main reasons.

(1) Obama singles out the Islamic State (IS, or “ISIL” as he still insists on calling it) as the culprit. He is thus creating the impression that anti-Christian “brutal atrocities” had been absent before the IS made its appearance on the Middle Eastern scene, or that such atrocities are limited to the IS-controlled areas today. This is demonstrably untrue.

It is a matter of historical record that the 75 years preceding the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 witnessed a more thorough destruction of the Christian communities in the Middle East than any period following the seventh century Islamic conquest. Thousands of Assyrians were murdered in the province of Mosul in 1850, and in 1860 some 12,000 Christians were put to the sword in Lebanon. Successive slaughters of Armenians in Bayazid (1877), Alashgurd (1879), Sassun (1894), Constantinople (1896), Adana (1909) and Ottoman-ruled Armenia itself (1895–1896) claimed a total of 200,000 lives. They were but rehearsals for the slaughter of 1915-1918, which claimed at least a million lives. Two million Armenians lived in what is now Turkey in 1914; some 3% (ca. 60,000) remain today. The proof of the genocide is in the numbers.

Further south, the slaughter of Christians in Alexandria in 1881 was but a rehearsal for the famine induced by the Turks in 1915–1916 that killed over 100,000 Maronite Christians in Lebanon and Syria. So imminent and ever-present was the peril, and so fresh the memory of these events in the minds of the non-Muslims, that illiterate Christian mothers dated events as so many years before or after “such and such a massacre.” Across the Middle East, the bloodshed of 1915–1922 crippled ancient Christian communities and cultures that had survived since Roman times. The carnage peaked with the destruction of Pontic Greeks after World War I had ended.

In recent years, the exodus of Iraq’s Christian community was near-complete years before the IS appeared. The Christian community in Iraq was up to 1.5 million strong before the U.S.-led invasion of 2003. Four-fifths of them are estimated to have left the country in recent years following a relentless string of attacks by Islamic extremists. Their numbers were down to 500,000 in 2009, and as low as 200,000 in mid-2014. While they were still there, the U.S. forces did next to nothing to protect them. Ever since they were reconstituted after the occupation, the Iraqi army and police have been either unable or unwilling to do so.

(2) Policies pursued by the Obama Administration have been consistently detrimental to the position of the Christian remnant in the Middle East. In Egypt it supported the Muslim Brotherhood government under Mohamed Morsi (2012-2013). Hillary Clinton in particular behaved like its chief apologist and abettor, even though the Islamist regime had acted swiftly, unconstitutionally and illegally to turn the country into an Islamic republic. This would have spelled disaster for some 9 million Copts—the largest Christian community in the Middle East—who had already experienced a massive escalation of lethal violence during the Brotherhood’s brief tenure. Instead of condemning the attacks, on November 28, 2012, Hillary Clinton’s right-hand woman Victoria Nuland declared that Morsi was seeking dialogue “with other stakeholders in Egypt” and that he was not an autocrat. Until the very end—until General Sisi’s July 2013 coup, that is—the Administration had tried to force Egypt’s generals not to challenge Morsi’s usurpation of full authority.

In Syria the Obama administration remains committed to supporting the rebels, although there are no “moderates” among them: all meaningful forces on the ground are Sunni fundamentalists who persecute Christians. According to a (London) Daily Telegraph report from last January, the Turkish-supported rebels “had shown both purpose and glee in their destruction of Christian sites” in the town of Kessab, in the Latakia province, from which all 2,500 Christian residents were forced to flee. Even NPR reported last July that “the Coalition has extremists in its own ranks who have mistreated Christians and forced them out of their homes.”

Government-controlled parts of Syria are the country’s only regions where its 2.5 million Christians are safe from religious persecution, and where they are treated as equals with their Muslim neighbors. The regime’s downfall would be followed by massive carnage, by new waves of refugees heading west, and by the imposition of a jihadist dictatorship. Whether it would be controlled by the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra front—the dominant opposition fighting force—or by ISIS would be irrelevant to the Christians who would be murdered, exiled, or enslaved under sharia dhimmitude. That the Obama administration persists in its single-minded support for this grim scenario indicates the extent to which it is indifferent to the fate of Syria’s Christians, Obama’s rhetoric notwithstanding.

Oliver Letwin blamed ‘bad moral attitudes’ for widespread rioting in black areas

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

The Telegraph:

Oliver Letwin, the Government’s policy chief, is under scrutiny for remarks he made about the morals of the black community in the wake of widespread rioting in the 1980s.
Mr Letwin was drawn into a race row after government papers showed he blamed “bad moral attitudes” for the rioting in black inner-city areas.
The Cabinet Office minister, then an adviser to Margaret Thatcher, suggested in a 1987 memorandum that white communities would not have resorted to the same street violence as seen in Brixton, Toxteth and Handsworth.
Papers in the National Archives released today under the 30-year rule reveal that Mr Letwin, who was in the No 10 policy unit, also dismissed proposals to foster a new class of black entrepreneurs, saying they would simply set up in the “disco and drug trade”.

THE GUARDIAN:

“Downing Street files released on Wednesday by the National Archives include a confidential joint paper by Letwin and Booth in which they told Thatcher that “lower-class unemployed white people had lived for years in appalling slums without a breakdown of public order on anything like the present scale”.

The men also warned Thatcher that setting up a £10m communities programme to tackle inner-city problems would do little more than “subsidise Rastafarian arts and crafts workshops”.

Their intervention followed a warning from the home secretary, Douglas Hurd, that alienated youth, predominantly black, in the inner cities represented “a grave threat to the social fabric” of the country. The two persuaded Thatcher to dismiss suggestions from Hurd and two other cabinet ministers, Kenneth Baker and Lord Young, to tackle the problem, and instead insisted what was needed was measures to tackle absent fathers, moral education and an end to state funding of leftwing activists.

Hurd told Thatcher in a confidential minute that the government might have to reconcile itself to the fact that “a number of our cities now contain a pool of several hundred young people who we have not educated, whom it may not be possible to employ, and who are antagonistic to all authority. We need to think hard to prevent the pool being constantly replenished.”

“The root of social malaise is not poor housing, or youth ‘alienation’ or the lack of a middle class,” they advised Thatcher. “Lower-class unemployed white people had lived for years in appalling slums without a breakdown of public order on anything like the present scale; in the midst of depression, people in Brixton went out, leaving their grocery money in a bag at the front door, and expecting to see groceries when they got back.

“Riots, criminality and social disintegration are caused solely by individual characters and attitudes. So long as bad moral attitudes remain, all efforts to improve the inner cities will founder. David Young’s new entrepreneurs will set up in the disco and drug trade.”

Instead their prescription was to reinforce the family through the law and tax, to set up “old-fashioned independent religious schools” and to change attitudes to personal responsibility, honesty, and the police from an early age including a new moral “youth corps”.

In a statement on Tuesday night Letwin said: “I want to make clear that some parts of a private memo I wrote nearly 30 years ago were both badly worded and wrong. I apologise unreservedly for any offence these comments have caused and wish to make clear that none was intended.”

Everybody’s Racist

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* There’s a translation of what he actually said here. He talked about r/K selection theory, which Rushton used to describe racial differences:

In Africa the so-called small r strategy prevails, which aims for as high a growth rate as possible. There the so-called dissemination type dominates. And in Europe generally the large K strategy is followed that tries to make optimal use of the capacities of the living space. Here is where the placeholder type lives. Simply stated, evolution has given Africa and Europe two different reproduction strategies, very easily understandable for any biologist. The difference between the African and European birthrates will be strengthened further by the spirit of decadence that has Europe firmly in its grip. In short, in the 21st century, the life-affirming African dissemination type meets the self-abnegating European placeholder type. This insight calls for a fundamental re-orientation of the asylum and immigration policies of Germany and Europe.

My own opinion is that it’s unfortunate he would have brought this up. It might be true, but western societies are a *long* way away from being able to talk about it. Whereas, if he had just stuck to the facts on the ground about the different reproductive rates, maybe the reactions wouldn’t have been so vociferous.

That’s not to say he deserves anything like the smearing he’s getting from the NYT — of course he doesn’t.

* Careful there New York Times. Search through your photo archives and you might find a picture of former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer wearing a hoodie with his face contorted in anger and his fist inches from the face of a German police officer. Before John Kerry was an immaculately coiffed gigolo in a bespoke suit he was a scruffy street fighting man. Go back in time and many of today’s leftist establishment figures looked more like the crowd at a Grateful Dead concert than the Beltway or Brussels insider of today!

* Isn’t it about time for everyone to just say ‘we are all race-ists’?

The world would be far more honest.

Liberals, Libertarians, Socialists, and so-called Conzos are all hiding behind abstract principles of justice and blah blah. But only fools TRULY believe in abstract principles and such nonsense and pursue them to the end of the world. And such sucker folks never amount to anything cuz one cannot build or gain power based on such nonsense.
People with real minds and real sense pursue power for tribal and/or individual reasons. That’s it. It’s either about the ethno or it’s about the ego.
Of course, it’s generally bad form nowadays to wave the national flag or admit to one’s own ambition and ‘greed’, so the smart and savvy cover up their egoism and ethnocentrism behind lofty rhetoric of universalism. That Zucky who made billions from Facebook and is a very proud Jew pretends to care soooooo much about those poor poor Muslims!!

Furthermore, power will always be problematic since it can never be equally shared among every individual and among every ethnic group. Some individuals are smarter, luckier, and more ambitious. Others are dumb or lazy. So, some will rise much higher than others. A Libertarian will say that is justice since the winners deserved to win. But the envious mob will never accept this and always look for excuses to blame the rich for having benefited with unfair advantages. (In some ways, such whining has a way of advantaging the powerful. If the NYT went HBD and said, “well, the reason why so many blacks and browns lag is because they have lower IQ and there is NOTHING that can be done about it.” This will make blacks and browns angry and frustrated and filled with bitter resentment. They might get violent. But as long as NYT keeps offering hope after hope, the lagging mob is fooled and calmed with the promise that, gee, maybe the next program will finally bridge the gap and perform miracles. HBD has a finality about it. It says ‘you are dumb and doomed to fail’. Without hope, people can get very angry and bitter, and NY elites don’t want that.)
Also, even if the rich did rise meritocratically, their children are born to privilege. Also, the rich get to buy politicians and do all the nefarious things that come with money and privilege.
So, is leftism the answer? No. Leftism is like a prison system that forces all to be equal. Imagine a race where everyone is made to pass the finish line together as co-winners. That is equal but coercive and bogus. Worse, in time, the elites of a leftist order become like the commie elites that became the new pigs like in Orwell’s Animal Farm.

Also, only suckers pursue abstract principles of universality with dimwit sincerity. Power is about gaining advantage for the individual or the nation/tribe. You cannot gain power for everyone around the world. Power is never universal. All power comes at the expense of others. While some tides can lift many boats, some boats will always rise much much higher, and some will inevitably sink. There’s no way to have Israel without hurting Palestinians. There’s no way to appease blacks in the US without hurting whites. There’s no way to satisfy homos without offending others, and so on. So, there is no such thing as power for all. Power is always about a contest of ‘more for us, and less for you’.

Blacks talk about justice but they just want more power for blacks, and black individuals want more power for themselves. They don’t care about every brother and sister. Look at black athletes and rappers. Do they share their wealth? No.
Jews talk about equality all the time, but they get richer and richer while rest fall behind. Homos are all about homo power. Mexicans talk the talk of ‘inclusion’ and ‘diversity is our strength’, but their main reason for pushing open borders is MORE MEXICANS FOR MORE MEXICAN POWER. It’s just how it is. All such groups hide behind the rhetoric of universalism to push their own tribal or individual agenda.
And white urban gentry are subconsciously quasi-tribalist and/or egoist. They are so into themselves. Outwardly, they are far more ‘sensitive’ and ‘caring’ than their parents and grandparents who were more like Archie Bunkers. But in their personal lives, they are far more choosy, finicky, perfectionist, and exclusive. Archie Bunker may not be very ‘nice’, but he was happy to marry a nice ordinary woman. And Ralph and Alice Kramden may not be the most sensitive saints, but they are happy with one another. But look at urban gentry types. They talk the talk of ‘sensitivity’ but in their personal lives, almost no one is good enough for them. And even in the stuff they buy, they can’t just go to some regular store. They gotta go to some specialty store. I’ve went shopping with some of these friends, and I wanna strangle them. They are so PC but they refuse to shop where the schmoes shop.
And what is all that Section 8 stuff about? These Libs don’t fool me. It really comes to ‘more blacks for you, less for us.’ But of course, they hide this agenda behind lofty rhetoric of ‘inclusion’ and ‘integration’(for others).

This is why race-ism and fascism are the most honest ideology. We can at least let’s be honest about what we want.
After all, even liberals and leftists who claim to be totally colorblind have their preferences and biases. Notice how some on the Left(of the BDS community) get all riled up about evil Zionists but are utterly silent about a lot of other tyranny around the world.
And in the 80s, remember how most Libs prioritized blacks in South Africa while remaining mum about Palestinians.
Notice how white libs generally favor blacks and homos over all other groups. When blacks riot and burn down cities(and messed up the store of the victim of Michael Brown), do you hear white libs ever complain about the violence? No. So, they have their Bias of Compassion too. Certain groups get more of their compassion than others do. Many Arab Christians have been getting slaughtered since Iraq War, but there’s been near total silence in the progressive community.

Bias of Compassion is a kind of tribalism or projected tribalism.
If American Conservatives outsource their tribalism to Israel, American White Liberals outsource their repressed tribalism to certain groups that are favored over other groups. After all, we almost never see White Liberals express equal compassion for everyone around the world. Instead, certain groups get MORE compassion and support, especially based on the ‘cool’ factor. Why do Jews, Negroes, and Homos get more support and compassion? A lot of Libs admire Jewish comedians and writers. A lot of Libs find black musicians and athletes badass. A lot of Libs find homo to be so ‘creative’. So, even though Libs claim to be about ‘equality’, they favor certain groups for extra compassion based on their signs of superiority.

But what about suffering Iranians due to US-enforced sanctions? The hell with them since they are ‘uncool’.
All forms of compassion are unfair since they favor some over others.
During the 80s, many of us felt compassion for brave Mujahadeen warriors who were fighting the Soviet Empire. But what we were not told was that these warriors targeted many innocent victims such as school girls whose education was seen as blasphemy according to arch-Islamic law.
Also, many Leftists in the 60s felt compassion for the Vietnamese communists as brave warriors but overlooked all the victims of communist atrocities. That’s how compassion works. One may take leave of one’s own tribalism in feeling compassion for others people, but in a divided world, one cannot equally feel compassion for all because to side with people is to side against another people who are at odds with the ones you’ve sided with. This is why Lawrence of Arabia goes batty. It’s like the scene where he has to kill the dumb ragger. Lawrence got to like him and earlier, even saved him from the hot desert at great risk to himself. But he has to side with the idea of Arab unity, and so he has to kill the poor slob. Also, his siding with Arabs makes him hostile to Turks, and he must feel no sympathy for them even as they mowed down mercilessly.
Same with animal world.If you sympathize with lions, you have to overlook the fact that lions ruthlessly destroy OTHER creatures.

Also, there is the power of narrative. Though Liberal Narrative claims to favor the victimized and oppressed, all historical narratives are extremely selective and distorted. Also, which Narrative gets special attention depends on who has control over the media and academia. White Americans killed many more American Indians and Vietnamese than blacks, but blacks get more compassion because the controlled Narrative favors them. And many more Conservatives were blacklisted and destroyed by PC than commies were destroyed by McCarthy, but the ‘victims’ of McCarthy have gotten far more compassion since the controlled Narrative lionizes them.

And of course, if we look behind all these narratives, they are really controlled to serve certain ETHNIC interests. They are not for serving all people. After all, some of those victims of McCarthy supported Stalin who killed millions of Ukrainians. But that is conveniently swept under the rug since it serves a certain ethnic group better to make McCarthy out to have been worse than Stalin.

* Its the Calvinism stupid. Calvinism is the Crack Cocaine for White people. The way the Crack Epidemic started off a wave of ultra violence in the Black community? Because Black people really, really liked getting high off cocaine? And would pay for it? Well Calvinism, the idea that some White people are innately, selected by God or Destiny, better than other White people and predestined for Heaven or History? Well that is the Crack Cocaine for White people. No one seems to able to stop it.

The status one-upmanship among White people makes us uniquely vulnerable to Calvinism, allowing us a sense of belonging to a predestined group of “saved” shown by their material success to have God’s or History’s favor, and igniting instead of simple status rivalry a desire to destroy. Utterly. Because God and History are on their side. Instead of just being this year’s champions.

As noted above in the thread, Muslims and Africans in public housing and the like are “vibrant” and the “soul of the community” but Whites in public housing are loser scum to be eliminated. How very … Calvinist.

Of course, racism is just the result of White people living with non-Whites with radically and incompatibly different ideas of how to live. Whites and Chinese and Koreans, don’t have much conflict in places like Portland or Seattle or Vancouver because their values while different are not incompatible — Christmas is celebrated in Japan and China and Korea, not as extensively as here but they like a party. Needless to say the Muslim No Fun League does not celebrate Christmas nor really do Africans who can’t get the idea of the Winter Solstice.

There are not many Calvinists in places like Alabama, while ultra White Vermont is Bernie (Calvinist) Sanders country. Put enough non Whites in Germany, and you’ll get a nation of Paul Kerseys or Outlaw Josey Wales. Not neo Nazis but even worse for Calvinists — Old West Style Outlaws who just don’t give a damn.

There is a reason millions of people around the world mourned the death of Lemmy of Motorhead. For those without the Pajamboy Gene or Blue Haired Fattie Feminist leanings, being an Outlaw is the easier and often default choice. Harley Davidson does not exactly push a conformist image.

* Spying might also explain some unusual Supreme Court votes. In the “bad old days,” J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI had “the goods” on some many Members of Congress and political appointees that he could do basically everything he wanted to. Now that power may lie within NSA.

* They haven’t jettisoned him yet, and it’s doubtful they can. The thing with the AfD is, there are several factions and Höcke is one of the leaders of the more explicitly nationalist faction. There has been feuding in the AfD for quite some time and one of the party’s founders Bernd Lucke and his followers actually left the party last summer because they thought Höcke’s wing was getting too powerful (they more or less claimed the party had been infiltrated by crypto-Nazis, though what they cited as evidence was mostly pretty ridiculous). Now there’s feuding between the new party leader Frauke Petry (who defenestrated Lucke with Höcke’s aid) and Höcke. To some degree criticism of Höcke may even be justified, he isn’t a Nazi, but he’s a German nationalist who strongly dislikes many aspects of Germany’s “Westernization” (though those “values” like multiculturalism etc. are probably also strongly disliked by many people in “Western” core nations like Britain, France and the US…), that’s of course a big no-go in Germany. He also has a tendency for silly theatrics and wants the AfD to be a “Fundamentalopposition”, that is in total opposition to the existing political system (which doesn’t look like a strategy for success…). And his stuff about r- and k-strategies is almost universally seen as crude biological racism (anti-racism in public discourse may be even stronger in Germany than in the US though in personal interactions Germans are probably more “racist” and xenophobic than white Americans). I’m somewhat ambivalent about the issue…I don’t like how some people from the AfD enthusiastiacally distance themselves from Höcke, that reeks of cowardice and political correctness; on the other hand, Höcke might eventually really go too far and turn out to be a hindrance to further success.

* How do we make the argument in our social circles that a white racial/ethnic pride movement doesn’t have to result in National Socialism, Apartheid, or Jim Crow? This case is a perfect example – a fairly moderate white school teacher tries to initiate a discussion, but then is immediately branded a NeoNazi by the NYT.

The problem is that most widely known historical examples of a white ethnic/racial movements are associated with some kind of genocide/segregation/apartheid. In the minds of most people, white/ethnic pride movements are synonymous with those things. I suppose that the Renaissance/Humanism could be considered a white racial/ethnic pride movement, but that is mostly associated with rebellion from the Church.

Trump is slowly starting to make it possible to have those discussions here, but its still limited to the fringes. I suppose I see Trump as a kind of political John-the-Baptist. His purpose is not to bring redemption to the white/middle class America, but rather to prepare the way for the One Who Will.

* The western world is being cleansed from the bottom up with the bottom 1/3 targeted first.

Hence why anti-immigration sentiment was dominated by that demographic.

Now we’re moving into the phase where the middle 1/3 are cleansed so the mid-point of the anti-immigration demographic will shift upwards.

* Slaves didn’t want to play ball. Many of the freed slaves that went to Liberia met an unpleasant fate at the hands of their distant relatives. Plus, constructing an European society in Africa using freed slaves was a harder proposition than perhaps it first appeared. Word got out among the black population, our homies don’t want us. Apparently, there are some things worse than the southern slave system though never speak such things to a tenured academic.

* I remember a certain Senator McCarthy going after communists in the CIA in ’54, how’d things work out for him?

And Frank Church got re-elected, right?

WP: Her attacker forced her to make a phone call during a rape — so she called 911

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Washington Post:

A woman who was told to call her boyfriend during a sexual assault instead contacted 911 — a decision that authorities in Georgia say helped police track down the suspect and stop the attack.

Robert Giles, 27, was charged in connection to Monday’s incident, according to a news release from police in Clayton County, Ga.

Authorities believe Giles wanted his victim’s boyfriend to listen as he attacked her, the release states.

Instead of calling her boyfriend, police say the woman called 911, where an emergency dispatcher managed to play the part. The dispatcher pretended that the woman had done as she was told, and sent police to the scene, WSB-TV reported.

“(It was) the most extreme call of my career,” the 911 operator, Deonte Smith, told WSB-TV.

Officers who responded were able to “quickly place Giles under arrest,” according to the release. Giles was stopped “mid-act,” Sgt. Ashanti Marbury told The Post in an email.

Bernie’s A Mensch

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Bernie’s a mench, you couldn’t do better than to elect this guy. He’s like a Jewish version of Trump. A man of the people standing up to the oligarchs who finance and control American politics. I give both of these men a lot of credit for having the balls in 2015 to stand up to what we’re up against. Patriots both of them.

* Sanders at least got Trump to flip on his call for lower wages:

After previously saying wages were “too high,” Trump instead stressed Monday that they were actually “too low.”

In the Monday-morning tweet, Trump also said that good jobs were “too few” and that people had “lost faith in our leaders.”

The apparent shift came after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), a Democratic presidential candidate, said in a Sunday interview that his message would resonate among Trump’s working-class supporters.

“Look, many of Trump’s supporters are a working-class people, and they’re angry,” Sanders said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” according to the show’s transcript. “And they’re angry because they’re working longer hours for lower wages. They’re angry because their jobs have left this country and gone to China or other low-wage countries.”

Sanders added: “In fact, he has said that he thinks wages in America are too high.”

Trump first responded Sunday by accusing Sanders of lying:

.@BernieSanders-who blew his campaign when he gave Hillary a pass on her e-mail crime, said that I feel wages in America are too high. Lie!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 27, 2015

Trump, however, has indeed said that wages — among many other things in the US — are too high.

In a Fox Business Network debate in November, Trump used his opening statement to say, “Taxes too high, wages too high. We’re not going to be able to compete against the world.”

And Trump doubled down on his position during a “Morning Joe” interview the day after that debate.

“It’s a tough position politically,” Trump acknowledged on the MSNBC show. “We have to become competitive with the world. Our taxes are too high — our wages are too high. Everything is too high. We have to compete with other countries.”

* When Trump said wages are too high I think he meant that the current minimum wage is too high because it makes some people in our society unemployable (teenagers for example). Or maybe he meant that wages were too high given that we haven’t started taxing imports from low-wage countries like China and Mexico because, absent those taxes, American manufacturers are uncompetitive.

* The surveillance super state of the future (see the command base in Utah) will prevent anyone like Trump from ever running again. It’s not just a lack of funds that force the other candidates to mouth acceptable boilerplate only. It’s a total lack of privacy.

The granular detail available in opposition research is already jaw dropping. I wonder how many state sponsored hackers have backdoored Trump’s phone.

* Really? You want to put a socialist in charge of a federal bureaucracy of true socialist believers and you think that the result will be better off than what we have from “the oligarchs who finance and control American politics“? Have you never heard of tyranny or absolutism? Do you think Sanders won’t stomp your face forever with the boot of socialist ‘right-thinking’?

Bernie will enable the jackbooted bureaucrats to ensure that wrong thinking results in the loss not only of your position or business, but also of your house. So if destitution is your desire, or grovelling before your ‘superiors’ is your preference, then Bernie is your man.

If you are in doubt about the results, consult the Oregon bakers that were not only deprived of their business, but also their home – just because they wouldn’t bake a cake for a privileged minority.

* All the single women I know are big Sanders supporters. I guess they want to be able to rely on the state since they don’t have a husband.

* You may stop believing in God, but the belief in God doesn’t go away. By this I mean that belief in God has been and remains a tremendous force in history. For example it propels phenomena like Isis, though whether the God of Muhammad is the same God Christians have traditionally believed in — and to a much lesser extent believe in today — is questionable.

People who don’t believe in God, including most educated people in the West, fail to appreciate these realities. Thus in today’s studies in history, whether in public schools or in our leading universities, it is seldom recognized, let alone explored, that the idea of God is easily the most influential idea in Western intellectual history — accounting for such things as the contemporary liberal idea that all people are pretty much the same everywhere, or the idea, shared by both liberals and conservatives, that political liberty and social justice, including equality under the law, are central to our culture and civilization.

* My lefty relatives have started hitting on the “Trump went bankrupt!” meme quite a bit lately. I guess I am supposed to see it as a character flaw or something.

When I ask them whether it was Chapter 7, 11, or 13, a reorg or liquidation, they just give a blank look.

As best I can figure, the bankruptcy talking point was first formulated and circulated back in August or September.

Oddly enough, they as lefties they condemn the no-bankruptcy-for-college-loans law from a few years ago. As the Brits say, “any stick will do to beat the dog”.

Obama Spies On Congress

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* How come no mention of former Congresswomen Jane Harman, who was a member of the panel on intelligence, agreeing to act for an Israeli operative in exchange for pressure through a donor on Pelosi to appoint her chair of the intelligence panel? This was learned through an NSA wiretap in 2005.

* Perhaps this is where Hillary makes some sort of deal with the NSA just prior to the ’16 election, a la “Ok, you guys know what to do. When I’m elected you’ll receive an unlimited budget, and total complete control on wiretaps etc if you’ll just promise to:

1. Keep my stuff that you have under wraps for at least the second yr of my second term (ca. 2022).

2. Give me the juiciest bits that you have on Trump in his file so I can use it this yr. during the campaign. I can then discretely have the NYT/DC Post “accidentally” dig it up on their own so that it makes them look like they found it themselves with no direct connection to my campaign. Caveat: Uh, just make sure that Bill isn’t directly involved or else there’s no win for me. I mean, I sure can’t have the NYT brandish a story about Bill and Donald going to some luxurious getaway to pick up teens/early twentysomethings together cause that would nullify any direct political points that might come my way. Plus it would only serve to confuse both sides (e.g. Family Values crazies and the loony Liberal base of which I’m so dependent on to come out and vote for me in the fall).

So remember: Only give me the juiciest bits on Trump that the NYT/Post can suddenly discover just a few days before the election. Has to be juicy, plausible, and of course, damaging to him without directly involving Bill. Maybe something like the Firefly scout plot point in David Mamet’s Wag the Dog thriller. Something along those lines.

Whatever you’ve got on The Donald, I want it. Whatever it takes to keep you guys happy, it will be worth it, and that’s my promise. After all, you guys listen in on all the secrets.

* Sailer Echo Syndrome: Alex Jones is starting to talk about the Gulen Cult, and is doing it in a way that makes me think he’s reading your old posts about Gulen, the Poconos, charter schools and government contracts.

* Does anyone know the specific reasoning behind Obama not wanting to go to war with Iran? (I know the obvious reasons, of course, but they didn’t seem to stop George W. Bush in Iraq. I would like to know what exactly makes Obama anti-Iranian war). Also, does anyone know why the mere knowledge of Israeli influence on a US lawmaker is enough for the White House to defeat the Israeli tactic of influencing US lawmakers? Is it just that the administration and its catspaws in Congress have the repartees ready in advance for every talking point of the Israeli-dominated bloc in Congress? Clearly the Obama administration is not taking this information to the press in an attempt to win the public’s sympathy, that is, releasing the names of specific US lawmakers who are controlled by Israel. I guess my question is, how did this US surveillance work to keep us out off Iran?

* I know people who were involved in that 1970s effort to bring Soviet Jews to the US. One of the interesting bits of that saga is that the Israelis were constantly trying to sabotage their efforts. The Israelis wanted the Soviet Jews to come to Israel instead.

* Speaking of Maxwell, the English satirical Private Eye had a long running fight with Maxwell, whom they nicknamed Captain Bob (he was an avid sailor)- careful on the spelling there, Jones. He sued them for libel numerous times and they took to incorporating a new legal vehicle for each Issue at one point if they had good stuff on him.

They of course had the last word, after he was found drowned after falling, drunk, off his boat, the PE headline was
“Captain Bob, Bob, Bob”

The word around town at the time was that Maxwell had been “suicided.”

* The fact that the NSA spies on everyone means that one has to assume that government is largely conducted by blackmail. I don’t know if that is true or not – but it has to be assumed as a possibility.

Do we even know who runs the NSA? I mean who really runs it. How do we know they don’t sell their intelligence to the highest bidder? How do we know they don’t spend a considerable fraction of their working day engaged in day trading, using the best possible inside information?

The Hard Problem

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes:

In The Hard Problem, set in England in the first decade of the new century, his similarly old-fashioned heroine is beset instead by the self-confidence of her neo-Darwinian colleagues. The left is intellectually nugatory, and all the energy resides with the disciples of the late biologist William D. Hamilton, such as Richard Dawkins and Matt Ridley. Stoppard explains that the play grew out of an argument he started with Dawkins over his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.

Indeed, the two young men the heroine strives to out-argue sound rather like my pals at the classic blog Gene Expression circa 2005. In his “Author’s Note,” Stoppard cites Imperial College evolutionary biologist Armand Marie Leroi, an expert on human genetic variety, as his chief guide to the science. (Here’s Razib’s interview with Dr. Leroi at GNXP ten years ago.)

This surprisingly short play references a remarkable number of concepts utilized by 21st-century right-of-center intellectuals—the story opens, for example, with the heroine’s tutor explaining the Prisoner’s Dilemma, the standard introduction to theories of how altruism could evolve.

Other longtime fascinations of the Edge.org crowd featured in The Hard Problem are the replication crisis in psychology, the larger implications of the financial crisis of 2008, and adoption. The nature-nurture implications of adoption are of natural interest to Stoppard, who only discovered in his 50s that he wasn’t roughly a quarter Jewish as he had assumed, but was entirely Jewish.

What Happened To Bill Clinton At Oxford?

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments:

* Bill Clinton has been referred to as a ‘Rhodes Scholar’ many times over the years. But he never completed it, did he? Didn’t he abruptly abscond, practically in the dead of night? Any known reasons for that? I think Christopher Hitchens (if I remember correctly) claimed it was because of some rape accusations that induced our hero to zip out of there. Any truth to all that?

* While Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, he allegedly raped a woman named Eileen Wellstone. He admitted the encounter but said it was consensual. She never pressed charges.

* Speaking of the academia, I think we can make good use of immigrants and migrants.

The problem with native-born white university presidents, deans, and professors is that they are a bunch of wusses.

But people from less PC-parts of the world would make tougher shepherds of spoiled brat crybullies.

Republican Terror and Anger

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Luke Ford

Paul Gottfried writes:

David Frum in The Atlantic (January/February 2016) perceptively observes that the emotion of college students when they mounted the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations pales in import beside the feelings being released by Trump’s candidacy. Among Republican voters and many independents who have rallied to Trump, there is “a rebellion against the power of organized money.” Those who were Tea Party rebels are angry that the GOP establishment treated them like mindless foot-soldiers, while others who cheer on Trump are reacting against the arrogance of wealth. A social war, notes Frum, has erupted in the Republican Party, and it may split that party apart. “The dividing line that used to be the most crucial of them all, class, has become a division within the parties, not between them.” Moreover, those who are coming over to Trump “aren’t necessarily superconservative. They don’t often think in ideological terms at all. But they do feel strongly that life in this country used to be better for people like themselves, and they want the old country back.”

It might be almost too obvious to note that the Trump supporters, who may be on the verge of destroying the Republican Party as we know (and speaking personally, detest) it, bear a striking resemblance to the National Front in France. Both are identified with the populist Right and have been incessantly denounced as fascist or Nazi-like by the media-political establishment. Both groups are shuffling the political cards by incorporating working-class programs into an anti-immigration parties that, as Frum remarks about the Trump’s followers “want their country back.” Finally, each party can claim about 40% of the electorate but may have problems capturing any more. The rest of their countries‘ voters stand with the Left or with a socially left-leaning globalist corporate establishment.

COMMENTS:

* Just taking myself as an example (and I certainly don’t fit the stereotype of the typical Trump supporter since I possess three degrees after high school), I started out the year predicting Trump wouldn’t run, and, even after he announced, I was skeptical. But once he attacked McCain’s status as a “war hero,” I was all ears. I quickly changed my opinion about Trump. I believe others, once they start paying attention, will experience the same conversion. At least, I hope so. I find encouragement in the fact that his polling numbers have steadily increased as he got more exposure and the fact that TV ratings for the Republican debates have shattered previous records.

* It seems very likely that the US will be in recession by election time, so it would be very rash to assume that Trump could not win as GOP candidate against Clinton. All the history of presidential elections tells us that. So anyone who wants to stop him from becoming president had better stop him from becoming the nominee.

* We should not confuse Marine Le Pen with Donald Trump, they are totally different products of totally different political systems. In Europe fascism is something very specific, with a clear historical course over decades and it it distinguished mainly by its anti-parliamentarianism. The National Front in France is definitely the evolution of French fascism, even if you believe that Marine Le Pen has a sincere intention to evolve it into a democratic party of the right. This would not necessarily be impossible, it was done in Italy by Gianfanco Fini to Mussolini’s own party, though the end product did not prove very durable.

In the United States on the other hand European style fascism never took hold. Donald Trump is no more a fascist than I am a dinosaur. In American politics “fascist” is just an insult you throw at someone when you run out of rational political arguments.

* I increasingly think that the Republican Party needs to go the way of the 1850s Whig Party and if Trump’s candidacy accelerates the evolution of an ethno-nationalist white party in the U.S., then it will have served a purpose, even if Hillary Clinton (ugh!) takes the oath of office on January 20, 2017.

* I’m for Trump. I’ve an Ivy League Ph.D. and have professional experience in many of the areas where Trump’s policy positions are clearest. He is the only candidate espousing rational solutions to some of the country’s most serious problems. I don’t like his rhetorical style but someone needs to break the party structure that is destroying this country; a structure that rewards incumbents who ignore the righteous concerns of the country’s ciutizens while battening on the financial support of billionaires and foreign powers seeking aggrandizement at the expense of the common people. If one of the current stoopid party midgets ends up facing off against Hilary or another dimocrat come next November I’ll stay home or vote dimocrat for the first time in my life. I’d prefer that the dimocrats get full responsibility for the disaster that follows.

* Trump has already done a great service to the American people. If he is nominated and debates Hillary his service will be magnified. Opposed by our ENTIRE political class, Trump is revealing the truth that the game is not red team vs blue team but instead a classic conflict between the working and ruling class.

* Recent Rasmussen poll had Trump and Hillary within a point.

1. Ras has a history of over-estimating Republican support.
2. Recent study showed face-to-face and telephone polls underestimating Trump’s support (because people are sheep and the media doesn’t approve of him).
3. Trump’s support will increase going forward as others drop out, while Hillary is probably much closer to topping out.

Study in 2 showed Trump got 9 points more support among college-educated respondents in online polls; college-educated are the biggest sheep of all.

* Trump is the only candidate who is serious about enforcing immigration law. Trump is the only candidate who opposes the trade agreements that have hollowed out America’s manufacturing industry and given us a massive permanent trade deficit. He is the only Republican not eager to restart the Cold War with Russia. As for Hillary, the one who pushed Obama to help take out Qaddafi, thus making Libya safe for ISIS, and who like all Democrats is eager to give illegal aliens amnesty, and who is as hawkish towards Russia as any Republican, she is totally unacceptable.

So I will hold my nose and vote for Trump.

* Now, the GOP establishment and mainstream Conservatives have right to be upset with Trump’s tactics and proposals, but surely they should recognize that Trump has given the ‘American Right’ a great opportunity for some real soul-searching.
Even if they don’t endorse Trump, they can ask key questions such as:

1. How come the Establishment favorites like Jeb are such duds?

2. How come so many Conservatives are connecting with Trump like they’ve done with no one else for a long time?

3. How come the media attack on Trump has had little effect on him?

4. In what ways has the GOP failed that has led to the Trump phenom?

5. etc.

Instead, the GOP establishment and mainstream Conservative types are doubling down, swinging their batons, and giving us the same horseshit that no longer sells.
If anything, the so-called ‘mainstream conservatives’ are not mainstream at all. ‘Mainstream’ implies something that represents the majority. Well, we are told that Jeb Bush is ‘mainstream’ whereas Trump is a fringe candidate, but Trump seems to be doing better with your average Conservative than Jeb is.
It’s like the term ‘mainline’ Protestantism. It suggests the main bulk of Protestant believers, but in fact, ‘mainline’ means nothing today as their churches have totally dried up. There is no blood, soul, and passion in the movement. In contrast, Evangelicalism is still alive cuz the faith still remains.
Now, Trump is no religious figure, but there is real passion among his supporters that simply doesn’t exist among supporters of the likes of Rubio, Fiorina, Jeb, and etc. Trump may be a swindler, but his fans and supporters are genuine conservatives and patriots. They really believe in America just like Evangelicals really believe in Jesus as the Son of God.
In contrast, Mainline Protestants regard themselves as too sophisticated, educated, and aloof to literally believe in God and Jesus. They just value the abstract ‘essence’ of that stuff so that it can be used to serve secular causes… like ‘gay marriage’.

Likewise, the so-called ‘mainstream conservatives’ of the Establishment no longer believe in core conservatism, patriotism, Americanism, and etc. They are ‘secular patriots’ than ‘spiritual patriots’. Their idea of America is an abstraction. It is not about American history, people, culture, and power. It is about America as some abstract proposition cooked up by Emma Lazarus Sulkowicz and the Neocons.
Their reaction to red-blooded patriotism is like mainline protestant reaction to Evangelical faith in God as the real Lord than some abstract idea.

Given that populist red-blooded conservatives have been rather unintelligent and un-educated, they’ve been easily manipulated by the elites. They were thrown some red meat on occasion at least in symbolism: pledge of alliance, bogus controversies about prayer in school, etc. Mostly, their passions were stoked only during election time only to win some votes for politicians who were really in the pocket of globalist elites.

And over the yrs, US has become less white, less conservative, less spiritual, less moral, and etc. despite all the promises of GOP elites(even when GOP held the presidency and both houses). Also, populist conservatives were led to believe that if they support the rich folks, the rich folks would reciprocate and fight leftist Big Government and support American patriotism. But that was all bogus. American populist conservatives are waking up to the fact that the super-rich(whom they’d supported) are pushing the very agendas that are doing the most harm to the vast majority of middle class, lower middle class, and working class white Americans.

But we don’t see any soul-searching from the likes of George Will. My beef with Will is not that he dislikes Trump. There are many good reasons not to like Trump, to distrust him, to even despise him.
But at the very least, Trump has provided us with an opportunity to discuss serious matters about the future of American Conservatism. He has blown the cover that there is indeed a HUGE discrepancy between the Establishment and the duped conservative masses who are now fed up and sick to death of guys like Lindsey Graham and John McCain who schmooze with the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

If Trump is the destroyer of the GOP, it’s only because he lifted up the hood and exposed the shoddy machinery. GOP has been like a sleazy used car salesman for some time. It’s been trying to fool America, especially populist white voters, that the engine is still powerful and ready to win the race and serve American interests.
But then, Trump comes along and opens up the hood, and it’s obvious that the so-called pistons are made up of noodles like Jeb, Rubio, Carly, Lindsey, and the rest. Trump does the Tucker thing in the Coppola movie, and the establishment just can’t handle it.
Still, we have now seen the GOP under the hood, and we can’t buy it anymore unless it gets a real new engine. And this is what the likes of Will are bitching about. They don’t want a new engine. They wanted to sell us a souped-up version of the same bogus engine hidden under the shiny hood. And instead of blaming themselves for the crummy engine, the Establishment types are blaming Trump for having lifted up the hood to reveal the truth.
Now, the Grease Lightning that Trump is selling could be a bogus junk car too. But we should credit Trump for exposing the GOP for what it is.

In a way, the fate of GOP is what happens when something becomes overly institutionalized. In some ways, such development is understandable. After all, people with the stuff of greatness can be mavericks and visionaries. They can do great things but also bad things.
So, instead of having men of powerful personalities and leadership qualities, the system prefers those who go long and get along. After a spell under such a system, both the GOP and Democratic Party have filled up with pushovers, fakers, phonies, and slicksters. They are hand-shakers than world-shakers; they are puppets who take orders from AIPAC, Soros, Koch Brothers, and Adelson.
And over time, such a system only produces one colorless and bloodless second-rater after another because anyone with any true vision or personality is purged and exiled.
So, Citizen Trump’s moment is truly remarkable in this sense.

At any rate, the GOP may now be fatally broken like Tsar’s power during WWI.
It’s gotten to the point where all the main talking points no longer hold any water or have any sway over us. It all sounds like empty rhetoric by professional hacks who just mouth the same cliches because they don’t know and can’t think of anything else.
It’s like the scene in DOCTOR ZHIVAGO where the deserters just about had enough of the war and have become deaf to the rhetoric.

* This article briefly touches on Trump’s liberal past. I was reading about Trump’s 1999-2000 involvement with the Reform Party and was surprised he called Pat Buchanan the usual anti-white slurs. Trump’s views were probably well in line with the MSM narrative for much of his life. My theory is that he has had a gradual racial awakening since Obama’s election. He switched to a Republican in 2009 right after Obama’s election. A couple years later in 2011, he engaged in some mild race baiting over Obama’s birth and flirted with a run for President. His increasing conviction is why he is running for real now and did not do so in 2012, though a weaker field without Obama and Romney is another big reason. I think Trump’s liberal past has been a good thing. If he had spent the 90s and 00s as a Republican, it is highly likely he’d be a neocon cuckservative. In any case, for Trump to have such a shift in his views during his 60s is impressive. Regardless of what happens next year, hopefully the bond Trump has formed with his supporters will encourage him to remain highly active in politics. The public may have saved him from social and economic ruin in June, and Trump is providing a vehicle for ordinary Americans to fight back against their tormentors in government and media for the first time in decades.

* Trump is a phenom because he is perceived as the not-establishment guy. That’s why everything the establishment does against him makes him stronger.

All my life, the GOP establishment has campaigned to the hard right and then governed to the squish-middle-left.

And that is why conservatives despise the establishment. I don’t know anyone who is under any illusions about Trump. But conservatives hate the establishment bad enough to take the risk. How could it really be any worse than what fake conservative Paul Ryan just pulled off in the budget deal? And just as Obama spent the first six-plus years of his tenure blaming Bush, Ryan is now blaming Boehner.

* Trump is belligerent? Against the cucks, traitors and scum who have been destroying this country for over half a century. I’d prefer a firing squad but if all I can get is belligerence I’ll take it.

* It may turn well be that Trump’s supporters have all the hard to get engineering degrees, while the other guys’ supporters have the degrees in basket weaving and gender studies.

* All the polls in advance of the 2015 General Election in Britain predicted a Labour win; Labour lost very badly in one of their worst-ever results. The inaccuracy of the polls was ascribed to the reluctance, in the current PC climate, of so-called ‘shy Tories’ to admit that they intended to vote for a (nominally) right-wing party. UKIP, whose supporters here are generally fans of Trump, gained 4m votes, an unprecedented share; though our first-past-the-post system denied them a proportionate representation in parliament.

It will be interesting, from a European perspective, to see how the Donald fares. He is already providing great entertainment value. He’s like a bull in a china shop. The horrified proprietors can do nothing but stand by, watching their meretricious stock getting trashed.

* Except for the populist, patriotic strains in her rhetoric, I can find no common ground between Marine and interwar fascism. The National Front does not advocate a one party state (unlike its opposition which in effect has already created one), has never called for abolishing a parliamentary government, and does not advocate the kind of corporate state that was characteristic of Latin fascist programs, in France as well as in Italy and Spain. The continuity that Mr. Vasilis is claiming to see is not there, save as a convenient fiction generated and perpetuated by the French and international leftist media. I’m not even sure that the now frequently encountered term “extreme rightist party” used to describe the Front in the WSJ and NYT has any relation to reality.

* It’s time to rid ourselves of the notion that the foreigner’s view of the US President is in any way meaningful – or that their likes and dislikes should be considered by us when choosing.

The truth is that those outside the US like or dislike an American President primarily based on one thing: their belief that he is willing to subordinate US interests in favor of the interests of their country.

That’s really what it boils down to. So in a very real sense, the less “the world” likes our President, the better he probably is… for us.

* Trump is right about Muslim immigration. Maybe we should figure out this Muslim thing before we move ahead on immigration.

Muslims have their own way of thinking, their own culture – that culture is antithetical to Christian Western culture. Christian Western culture is open to freedom, it is optimistic, and it welcomes change.

In Christian culture, we look to ourselves for a better tomorrow – not to God. This is not true of the Muslim culture. The byword of Muslim culture is “God willing” – where as a Christian says “I’m willing.”

Perhaps to a fault, Christian culture has evolved to extend freedom to everyone. Clearly this is not true of Muslim culture. Their treatment of women is inhuman. In the Christian West, the nuclear family, father mother and children, is the unit of human stability and progress. In Muslim culture the clan arranges marriages between relatives. Sorry but that is old world.

Fundamentally, the Muslim culture does not like other cultures. It does not mix well or integrate with other cultures – it is not open to other peoples ways – it does not want to evolve.

Most unfortunately for Muslims and Christian America, the Jew have deviously and devilishly in-snared us into killing each other – pitting Muslim against Muslim – with us destroying Muslim countries.

There is righteous bad blood between we Americans and Muslims. By far the Muslims have been hurt the most – it is ungodly what has happened..

Is it not time for a grand life saving exchange – we militarily leave their lands and they stay within their land and culture, trading goods with the world – evolving their culture in their own way?

* I started off the year betting Trump wouldn’t even run and thinking he was a joke. Even when he announced he was running, I felt the same way. Then he started talking, I listened, and I changed my mind. Compared to the others in the field in both parties, a vote for Trump is a no-brainer for me at this point. I read a columnist recently invoking the “Bradley effect,” which described the experience of the seemingly popular black mayor of LA who lost twice running for California despite last minute polls showing him winning. Some observers concluded that people lied to pollsters about how they were going to vote for fear of being thought “racists” for voting against the black candidate. That’s my feeling about what is happening now. I think the polls are underestimating Trump’s support across the country.
