REPORT: A former adult film star will be the subject of a new reality series, set to follow her conversion process to Judaism.
The Times of Israel reports that an Israeli television station will film the actress, who was born Catholic and had a change of faith following her engagement to Israeli diamond dealer Lior Bitton.
Bitton sat down with the Walla Isreali news site and teased that the couple’s personal lives will be fully exposed to the camera, but in a different way than in Jameson’s past.
“It’s a bit stressful, because I’m not used to being in front of the cameras,” said Bitton. “But I can assure you there won’t be any ‘adult content’ in the show. I’m not going there.”
Jameson’s fiance described the upcoming reality series as “something like ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’” as the couple makes all of the necessary preparations for their 2016 wedding.
The untitled series is reported to air on Israel’s Channel 2.

A cultural change over my lifetime has been whether it’s cool to believe in the existence of a deep state. There was first a big change from the 1960s to the 1970s, when handsome actors like Warren Beatty and Robert Redford, made deep state conspiracy thrillers.
The class connotations are important to recall: Conspiracy theorizing in 1975 was upscale, leftist, and sexy. After awhile though, it became downscale, like Randy Quaid in 1996′s Independence Day.
Here’s an NYT article that tries to gently introduce readers to the fact that practically everybody in Turkey is a conspiracy theorist, perhaps for good reasons. The reporter appear convinced that of course the deep state notion is useful in understanding Turkey, but he has to initially act like it’s some wild and crazy 1970s idea.
Comments to Steve Sailer:
* The first problem of the Deep State concept is one of definition, how is it defined and how is it different from typical elite or oligarchic machinations?
The second problem is that the Deep State concept implies decisions are still taken at the level of the nation-state. For example policies resulting from globalization are obviously not due to national cabals all independently agreeing to the same suicidal policies for the citizens and nation states. There is instead a Deep Globe of Davos men and women pulling the strings of the individual national marionettes in order to destroy the various nation-states.
One interesting fact is that is that the leaders of Turkey have not yet made the transformation from being national leaders to being Globalist marionettes. But after some amuse-bouches of EU subsidies and early benefits once accepted into the EU, the Globalist hope would be they could do an end-around Turkey’s nationalist leaders and support a new elite of Young Globalist Turks who could lead Turkey into the Globalist fold.
* Didn’t the Bourne movies reintroduce the deep state concept in recent years? The way I remember it, we went from deep state villains post-Watergate (e.g., Three Days Of The Condor) to secretive government types being generally good guys during the Reagan years (e.g., the Archangel character in Air Wolf). Then, the Bourne movies start during W.’s first term.
* So basically in America conspiracy theories have gone from signalling membership of the upper intellectual classes to being a pastime of Birchers and the loony left. So obviously nobody in the intellectual elites believes in conspiracies anymore.
I’ve fallen prey of that too. Except that my homeland (Italy) often brings me back to the ground. First of all, half (and potentially all) of the country is ruled by a secret cabal of powerful men with strong connection into politics and no reluctance to using violence to achieve their goals – known to the rest of the world as the mafia (but if you want to be sophisticated, you should distinguish between the main four regional mafias: Campania’s camorra, the most violent and fragmented, basically owns the city of Naples; Calabria’s ‘ndrangheta, which basically owns a monopoly on the import of cocaine into Europe thanks to its connections to Latin American drug cartels, and which controls all the illegal trade into Rotterdam; Puglia’s Sacra Corona Unita, which is the softest of the four and has diversified into renewable energy; and the one and only Sicilian mafia, AKA the Cupola, AKA Cosa Nostra, supposedly defeated after losing the “War of the Mafia against the State” in the early 1990s, or triumphant after getting Berlusconi elected in 1994, depending on which conspiracy you choose to believe).
Then there’s the Italian secret service, thrice disbanded for conspiring against the State (yes, literally; Wikipedia has a good summary under “Italian intelligence agencies”), the second of which followed the 1990 government admission that yes, Gladio was real, it had weapons, it had CIA backing, but no of course it wasn’t planting bombs in the 1970s when the Communist Party was on the brink of joining government (you decide whether you believe that or not).
Funnily enough, it was the second incarnation of the Italian secret service (SISMI) that forged the documents that “proved” Saddam Hussein had tried to buy yellowcake from Niger to make nuclear bombs, which the US and UK used to justify the war. When that came up in 2007 it led to the third disbanding and reforming of the secret services. I’m sure it has worked this time.
* I did seem to note though that the NYT writer seemed almost wistful with regret that there is no judicial means to jail wreckers that post anti-narrative writing onto the internet. That would make it oh so much more easy for the American Deep State. Instead we have to take a round about means of “non-platforming” and shaming dissenters.

Ruth Ward writes: Being “independently successful” and self-reliant while waxing and preening religiously to “stay young” (as our protagonist does periodically throughout the story) may not be all that is necessary for fulfillment. In the end, these things may only be suitable for bragging rights and regret which comes too late. This movie succeeds in expressing an unpopular opinion which could keep most 20- and 30-somethings up at night. Someone who has built their whole life on this individualist “success” ethos and an aimless self-serving existence, foregoing a traditional family unit, encounters the realization of the emptiness of this life too late, and they have no choice but to cling to the failed fantasy as it slowly drives them into insanity.

* A little late to the party but something Ben Carson said last night is quite telling (the question being what is your greatest weakness)…
“Probably in terms of the applying for the job of president, a weakness would be not really seeing myself in that position until hundreds of thousands of people began to tell me that I needed to do it.”
Campaigning for president–the travel, speeches, TV/radio appearances, social media politicking, learning the intricacies of policy, etc.–certainly isn’t for everyone. Not to mention actually serving as chief executive. Carson intuitively knows this job isn’t for him, if for nothing else he doesn’t have the eloquence or gravitas voters crave. But when nice, smiling whites have devised your presidential campaign from thin air, helped you sell your autobiography, donated millions, and written op-eds singing your praises–you’re going to start believing them.
The cuckold wing of the Republican base (one can’t blame the establishment on this one) is solely responsible for this mess. The promotion of an Affirmative-Action by well-meaning nice whites will inevitably lead to a bewildered and bitter Carson once the heat (from Repub. opponents, media, leftist pols, etc.) is applied, causing the inarticulate Carson to inevitably backstab his nice white supporters and cite inherent racism as the reason for his political failures. See: Michael Steele, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, etc.
* Donald Trump will win the nomination, and Senator Jeff Sessions will be his immigration point-man, as he is now. Trump scored points again, even though there was little opportunity to go into money-and-trade-related issues in his wheelhouse — as there should have been in a “business network” debate.
* BTW in his closing remarks at the debate Trump bragged about how he and Ben Carson had worked together to force CNBC to abandon its plans to run a 3-3-1/2 hour debate and limit it to 2 hours, with opening and closing remarks by the candidates. To my great surprise, chief moderator John Harwood took issue with Trump’s claim and falsely contended that a 2-hour debate was the plan all along. That evoked the moment during the second Presidential debate in 2012 when Candy Crowley managed to throw Romney off his stride by interjecting herself into the debate by siding with Obama on a particular issue. Here is the segment of last night’s debate:
“HARWOOD: Just for the record, the debate was always going to be two hours. Senator Rubio?
TRUMP: That’s not right. That is absolutely not right. You know that. That is not right.”
It turns out that Trump was absolutely right on this issue. What galls me is that Harwood not only had the arrogance to engage in a mini-debate with Trump but had the audacity to lie about the matter.
Ted Cruz called it right when he said during the debate that he doubted that any of the moderators in the various debates was going to vote in a Republican primary. I don’t know what the answer to the problem is, but I think the situation with the Republican debates is scandalous. Now that the Republican debates have proven to be real ratings successes for the networks carrying them and have proven highly profitable, you would think that the guys who run the Republican Party would read Trump’s “Art of the Deal” and use their leverage to secure a more non-partisan moderation of the Party’s debates.
I love it that all the pundits and political professionals have been proved wrong by Donald Trump. It shows how useless they are, how out of touch with reality they are, and how separated they are from America. Damn them all to hell. They’ve controlled the Overton Window while America has gone off the cliff.

Melissa Harris-Perry: Be ‘super careful’ about saying ‘hard worker’ because it demeans slaves
Published on Oct 26, 2015
An MSNBC host and professional Social Justice Warrior tells a panelist to be “super careful” about using the term “hard worker” because of slaves and poor moms.
Comment: That is the funniest clip I have seen in some time: A Hispanic attempts to promote a white man, and in the process describes him as a “hard worker”, a black woman takes over and delivers a lecture on the hard unrewarding work done by subjugated blacks. Self-feeding frenzy.
His response was, “That’s very unfair.” It should have been, “Now just a cotton pickin’ minute, Ms Harris Perry!”
NB: Melissa H-P is the person designated as “America’s most foremost public intellectual” by Ta Nehisi Coates.

I slept eleven hours last night, at home, because I was up 20 hours the day before as a black family was in the room next to me at a motel near the Atlanta Airport. Flew out at 7 am for Seattle.
The kids had the TV blaring. They were running around and making lots of noise and a black male was screaming at them to shut the f—up. I figured that complaining to the night clerk wasn’t going to shut them up so I read.
Last month, my husband and I were in Sacramento at the Holiday Inn Express south of SMF on I-5. An Hispanic group of four, two men and two women, were in the suite next to us. They were so awful that the motel desk clerk called the cops as even the security guard couldn’t make them stop fighting. That was 2:30 in the morning. They left.
Thanks for Steve’s tip on ear plugs. The foam ear plugs are too large.
James Fulford writes:When I read Steve’s blog post, I thought ofSpike Lee’santi-gentrificationrant, in which he complained that whites, attracted to Brooklyn by falling crime levels, had brought their uptight white community standards with them: “There were brothers playing [bleepin’]African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud.”

Posted inR. Shlomo Einhorn|Comments Off on A RECORD BREAKING EVENT TO SUPPORT JEWISH EDUCATION
Most Jews are democrats and even if Sanders were the nominee he would still get 70% of the Jewish vote. Hillary will get at least 80% of the Jewish vote.
If the Republican candidate is anyone but Trump, that person will get less than 20% of the Jewish vote. Trump will cross over and get the highest percentage of a Jewish vote for a Republican in living memory.
What MacDonald is focusing on is the Jewish media/pundit class. These are either liberals who wouldn’t vote for any Republican or NeoConservatives whose standard for supporting a Republican is based on unconditional support for Likudnik policies. Immigration has nothing to do with it. Even though Adelson supports amnesty, that is not his reason for supporting Rubio or in the last election cycle Gingrich. It is wholly about Israel.
But the love of Rubio, and dislike of Trump from Kristol (who wants to form a third party if Trump gets the nod), Krauthammer, Podhoretz, is based on Rubio’s embrace of a neo conservative foreign policy, especially when it comes to Israel.
As an example of Jewish pundits who do support a crackdown on immigration, Mickey Kaus has been tireless, even challenging Barbara Boxer for her last senate run, David Frum has taken the side of the immigration restrictionists despite being a neocon, and even Bernie Sanders has drawn the connection between unemployment and immigration.
Comment: “Trump has come out strongly against the H-1B visa again. It seems like someone (Jeff Sessions probably) talked some sense into him. Trump also called on Disney to rehire the workers they replaced with the H1b.”
BNN: The media has been filled with stories about companies flying in low-wage H-1B workers to replace American workers in tech jobs. Adding insult to injury, these American workers have been forced to train their replacements. If you were President, would you put a stop to this practice?
DT: Day one. This is why I got into this race. Because the everyday working person in this country is getting screwed. Lobbyists write the rules to benefit the rich and powerful. They buy off Senators like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%
to help them get rich at the expense of working Americans by using H-1B visas–so called “high tech” visas–to replace American workers in all sorts of solid middle class jobs. If I am President, I will not issue any H-1B visas to companies that replace American workers and my Department of Justice will pursue action against them.
BNN: Hundreds of workers at Disney were forced to train their foreign replacements. But while Florida Senator Nelson rallied to their cause, Senator Rubio did not. While Nelson has called for an investigation, Rubio has not. While Nelson has called to reduce H-1Bs, Rubio has demanded more. Senator Rubio has been the top promoter in Congress for expanding the H-1B program even though millions American tech workers are out of jobs. Rubio’s new bill triples H-1Bs and has zero protections for American workers. Advocates for tech workers said Rubio’s bill would “destroy” the U.S. tech workforce. Rubio’s bill is even endorsed by the CEO of Disney. What do you think of Rubio’s bill?
DT: It’s a disaster. It would allow any company in America to replace any worker with cheaper foreign labor. It legalizes job theft. It gives companies the legal right to pass over Americans, displace Americans, or directly replace Americans for good-paying middle class jobs. More than 80 percent of these H-1Bs are paid less than the average wage. Senator Rubio works for the lobbyists, not for Americans. That is why he is receiving more money from Silicon Valley than any other candidate in this race. He is their puppet.
BNN: During the debate, Senator Rubio listed several protections he thought American workers should receive. But the New York Times said Rubio’s bill would does the opposite of what he said, and does not contain a single one of the protections he mentioned. Instead, his bill simply triples the number of H-1B visas given as low-wage substitutes to corporations. Does Rubio have a problem with the truth?
DT: Yes, Senator Rubio is incapable of telling the truth. He should be disqualified for dishonesty alone.
BNN: Do you think agree with Senator Rubio that there is a shortage of talented Americans?
DT: Rubio is dead wrong. America produces the best and brightest in the world. It’s time to stand up for own students–many of whom are racked with terrible, terrible debt and facing a disastrous job market. We are graduating two times more students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) than find jobs in those fields every year. We have a surplus of talented Americans and we need them to get jobs first.
BNN: What should happen with the Florida workers who have been replaced?
DT: I am calling TODAY on Disney to hire back every one of the workers they replaced, and I am calling on Rubio to immediately rescind his sponsorship of the I-Squared bill and apologize to every Floridian for endorsing it. I am further calling on Rubio to return the money he has received from Silicon Valley CEOs and to donate the money to a charity helping unemployed Americans whose jobs Rubio has helped to destroy.
Comment to Steve Sailer: At a Nevada rally, Trump came out against H1bs replacing American workers.
He said he’s only for foreign graduates of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford staying. Which seems reasonable. Not because those grads should stay, but because the numbers are trivial enough. The overwhelming majority of H1bs (75%) are non-US graduates. Of the remaining 25% H1bs who graduate from US schools, almost all graduate from tier 2 and tier 3 US universities. The number of foreign Ivy graduates is really small, especially since they have smaller STEM departments.

Following CNBC’s GOP debate, Donald Trump brought his campaign to The Nugget Casino in Sparks, Nevada, where he will held a rally Thursday afternoon. Donald Trump threw out the idea today that future Republican debate moderators should have to show that they vote Republican. A rally goer at a Trump campaign event in Nevada today asked why they can’t get rid of future debate moderators. A big consensus today is that CNBC came out of yesterday’s debate looking really bad. Trump today said, “These moderators, they’re not big Republican voters… we’re having a Republican debate. Maybe every moderator should show that they vote Republican.” After all, he asked, “why should we have these people that hate everything we stand for?”A group of protesters, complete with a Mariachi band, staged a peaceful protest against Donald Trump outside The Nugget in Sparks Thursday, fearful of Republican presidential candidate’s proposed immigration plans. About 20 protesters, organized by the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, marched on the public sidewalks outside of hotel-casino as a crowd of about 4,000 gathered inside to hear Trump, a leading GOP candidate for president. Trump told the crowd at his rally that he is “No.1 with Hispanics in Nevada” because he would create jobs and get back jobs that have gone to foreign counties. Meanwhile, the protesters said Trump has advocated the massive deportation of undocumented non-citizens back to their nation of origin. Protesters said it would tear apart many Latino families that have undocumented members. “The main message today is about his (Trump’s) extreme and racist anti-immigration views,” said PLAN executive director Bob Fulkerson. “But of course, he would be a disaster on everything else we care about, from clean air, clean water, turning everything over to corporate control. It’s terrifying.” As Fulkerson spoke, a Trump supporter walked by and chanted, “Build a wall, build a wall,” referring to Trump’s past statements that he wanted to partially solve the nation’s illegal immigration problem by building a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico. The protesters did not respond.
* But when polled, “American” citizens consistently prefer lower rates of both legal and illegal immigration. It is the financial, media and cultural elites that push for open borders. Just because our bought and paid for politicians and media clowns support a particular policy, does not mean that “Americans” do not prefer a different policy. It is likely possible that a pollster can come up with a study that shows that a majority of Americans support “comprehensive immigration reform” because the term is effectively meaningless. If the same poll was changed to “Do you support mass amnesty and continued open immigration?” the poll results from “Americans” would be very different.
The Elites do not care about marginal returns on immigration because they are taking the skim from the aggregate increased demand, but any losses are socialized. Goldman Sachs, Walmart and McDonalds do not care about the per capita benefit to American citizens as long as their take from the ever increasing pie keeps increasing. Add in those elites who are actually hostile to American culture and society for ideological reasons, and you have the interested parties that determine our current immigration policy.
* Jeb always had sub-par, sluggish aura about him, it didn’t help that he looked like a special needs adult either.
* That description is very apt, although I would substitute “mental patient” for special needs adult. Every time I look at Jeb Bush, I get the distinct feeling that I’m seeing a middle-aged, high-functioning schizophrenic walking around in a Thorazine fog. That probably is a pretty fair characterization of his actual mental state, come to think of it.
By contrast, I couldn’t help but notice how tall and robust Donald Trump looked last night among the other candidates. Even though Trump is obviously no longer a young man, what with the cotton candy hairdo and the sagging facial skin, he somehow embodies real solidity and determination.
