WP: Meet the White House’s first transgender staffer

You couldn’t make up something more beautiful and more Jewish. Tikkun olam!

From the Washington Post:

Freedman-Gurspan’s previous job was at the National Center for Transgender Equality, where she worked as a policy adviser for the Racial and Economic Justice Initiative. In that role, she also urged the government to release undocumented transgender immigrants who cannot be adequately protected from sexual violence in detention…

Freedman-Gurspan was raised by a single Jewish mother in Brookline, Massachussetts. Her mother, Marion Freedman-Gurspan, adopted her daughter from Honduras. Marion Freedman-Gurspan wrote in Transitions of the Heart, that her daughter began identifying herself as gay from the age of 12. Adding that it was only after Freedman-Gurspan moved to Norway in her junior year of college that she began dressing like a woman. Marion writes “I sent a son abroad for his junior year of college…by the time [I] visited Norway in May, [I] was visiting a daughter.” According to her Facebook page, Marion Freedman-Gurspan is a retired social worker who now spends her time as an advocate for the transgender community.

The Dying Of The White Light

Comment to Chateau Heartiste:

It’s simply impossible for whites to thrive when there are too many minorities around.

If we want to reach the heights of civilization, to visit the moon again, to colonize mars, to automate cars and have robots servicing all of our needs, to genetically engineer disease out of existence, we simply can’t be around minorities, specifically black people.

When my family lived in an urban ghetto (us white, 99.999% of our neighbors black) one of our main worries was survival. Are the guns loaded, did you lock the doors. Oh look, your bicycle was stolen out of the garage by your next door neighbor who we invited to have dinner with us last week (no shit, it happened). Having to drive to school every morning 3 towns over to avoid a 90% minority school (and therefore not get beaten).

Then we moved to a rural town, 100% white, where I could explore in the woods, ride my bicycle around town, never get robbed or threatened or beaten, where I could read books in peace, and we left the doors unlocked at night, and my intellect could flourish and I could dream of a beautiful future and live, not merely exist in a hardscrabble fight against a mean world. I thank god my parents were smart enough to do that for me and for us.

We can spend all our national treasure letting our natural enemies make their home right next door, we can feed them, and clothe them, and let them make more and more of themselves as we dwindle and become less and less, ad infinitum, working ever harder, ever longer, just for them, until we are nothing and there is nothing more to give, and our dreams are dead forever.

Or we can just. say. no.

…Thriving in a mixed neighborhood of functional, middle-class or affluent two-parent households with children is of course attainable, but that sort of neighborhood tends to have less community cohesion/neighborliness than a homogeneous neighborhood with of intact families of means (a la Robert Putnam’s now famous study). I live near Cerner, Sprint, and Garmin headquarters and consequently a lot of my neighbors are Asian (South and East). They take care of their houses as well as anyone else and we always get a reciprocated wave, but they don’t tend to come outside to chat it up when my son and some of the other kids in the neighborhood are running around.

And of course NAMs are disproportionately less likely to meet the functional, two-parent household criteria.

More content highlights from Chateau Heartiste:

* It’s a favorite shitlib shitlibboleth to claim that poverty causes crime, but the opposite of that formulation has more truth in it: crime causes poverty. Poverty of the wallet as well as of the mind. jjbees is right; when you fear for your safety every day of your life, and approach every social interaction with an enervating, distrustful cynicism borne of hard experience dealing with aliens who’d sooner screw you over if the screwing was good, you’ll sacrifice inordinate mental and physical energy navigating the shoals of Diversity™ that could be better spent tapping the unquenchable human spirit that your great (and unique!) European ancestors bequeathed you to advance civilization.

This is the price of Diversity™: slow attrition of living space for the individual, his family, and his intellectual, aesthetic, and spiritual aspirations. To think that the mental template of White Europeans evolved only in the last 5,000 years, and probably later than that, is to realize the precious gift of your genetic and cultural inheritance, and how easy it is to throw it all away for a return to the abyss.

* “Like the vast expanse of outer space, as America on the whole becomes less white, the pinpoints of whiteness glow more brightly.”

* “All women are drama whores. The difference between women and their love of drama is one of degree, not kind. You have to scale some courtship walls before you can take her on an adventure. Add a scar, and she’ll beg to go on the journey.”

* “The average number of friends that a country’s (or a region’s) women have on Facebook is a pretty good indicator of the mean level of national attention whoring.”

* “Maxim #41: A girl who mentions rape or suicide during the first few months of dating in any context other than as a third party making a wryly humorous observation immediately outs herself as a crank with borderline personality disorder who will be a living nightmare as a girlfriend.”

* “If an individual does not, or if neurologically he cannot, experience his connection to others in an emotional way, perhaps a culture that insists on connectedness as a matter of belief can instill a strictly cognitive understanding of interpersonal obligation.”

* “I’m sure a few alpha males were hornswoggled into attending a Lamaze class (which they undoubtedly instantly regretted), but those men who agreed to attend without a fight or, worse, who happily jumped at the opportunity, are truly the most beta of betas.”

* In “Democracy in America”, Alexis de Tocqueville included this:
“There are people in Europe who, confounding together the different characteristics of the sexes, would make man and woman into beings not only equal but alike. They would give to both the same functions, impose on both the same duties, and grant to both the same rights; they would mix them in all things–their occupations, their pleasures, their business. It may readily be conceived that by thus attempting to make one sex equal to the other, both are degraded, and from so preposterous a medley of the works of nature nothing could ever result but weak men and disorderly women.”

* From Beta to Alpha, in 4 Easy Steps:
1. Stop appeasing.
2. Be more selfish.
3. Call her out.
4. Be in charge.

* “One unsavory rule of biomechanics is that women become more loving and clingy in direct proportion to their powerlessness. This is because they are both more reliant on their man in such conditions, and because the working man looks more dominant and alpha in comparison.”

* “The institution of single mommery — and let there be no doubt that the equalists are attempting to elevate the single mom lifestyle to an honored place in American society — is a cancer on civilization. Single moms who are in their predicament by choice or by cumulative bad decisions are vectors of societal disease, bearing with them the rotten fruit of a new generation of misfits, degenerates, orcs and orc-incubators. They are not to be lauded; they are to be shunned. Ridiculed. Insulted. Shamed. Driven from the body politic like a virus, surrounded by healthy white blood cells and cordoned off from the functioning of vital organs. As a lesson for the others who may be teasing with the idea of following the same malignant life path.”

* “…disgust sensitivity prepares individuals to have a negative perception of others who may be a source of contamination and to avoid them.”

* “Females are more likely to exhibit forms of social conservatism that involve ingroup cohesion and outgroup avoidance (e.g., collectivism)…”

* “It used to be that a father’s job was clear and understood by all: To guard his daughters’ chastity and to teach his sons to stand up for themselves.”

* If you are a gentle, compassionate niceguy… a man of God…, a woman will become, inexplicably to you, cranky and moody if she’s in a relationship with you. You will be confused and wonder why she won’t listen to reason about all the good you do for her, and then you will blame her for your pain, unless you are an emasculated quasi-man, in which case you’ll direct the blame upon yourself. And through all the emotional ups and downs, the turmoil that is out of your control to manage, the cold sexlessness that feeds your spiraling resentment and unfocused rage, the microinsults that pile higher atop your wounded dignity with every increasingly despairing day together, the misplaced guilt that poisons your soul… through all that punishment, punishment that on some days will seem less bearable than the acute pain of physical torture, one demonic truth pulsates at the center of the chaos:
She has as little power over her feelings as you do.

* A woman is as viscerally repulsed by a sensitive niceguy as a man is by a fat woman. If you want to know what a woman feels when a niceguy dotes on her in needy supplication, just remember how you feel when you see a land whale bend over in short shorts to pick up a donut crumb.

* I propose that we resurrect the memento mori for the hot young ladies in our society. A coming-out parade, of sorts, where the ladies will ride in cars accompanied by an old woman who will whisper to them things like, “By 40 you will be invisible to men” and “You’ll be over 40 for more than half your life” and “At 55 the only things that will bring you joy are your children and grandchildren; not your career, not your travels, nor your accomplishments.

* Smart women understand that men won’t move heaven and earth for unfeminine shrikes. Even an ur-leftoid like Maureen Dowd, by way of a fortuitous brush with brotherly reality that would have made her a wiser woman had she heeded the unmissable lesson instead of lied to herself her whole life for status whoring points at her New York Beta Times cocktail circuit, comprehends that feminine niceness, and nothing but feminine niceness, is a balm of which men will never tire.
The sassy, snarky, arch bitch inspires the competitive instinct in men, and weakens their protective instinct.

Steve Sailer: The Demographics of “MONEY’s Best Places to Live 2015”

Steve Sailer writes: Keep in mind the magazine gives bonus points for diversity, eliminates any place at least 95% white, and excludes very wealthy towns. And it’s all pretty subjective to allow for novelty needed to sell magazines. But, still, these all sound like pretty nice places.

Real estate tip: Asians appear to serve as a leading indicator. There are a lot of places in the U.S. that are disproportionately white because they are on the upswing, but then there are other places that are highly white because nothing much is happening there (e.g., a lot of West Virginia). But predominantly white towns where the Asian to black ratio and Asian to Hispanic ratio are high do very well in these kind of lists.

Nationally, the (white + Asian) / (black + Hispanic) ratio is only 2.2 to 1. But none of these towns drop below 5 to 1, and 7 of the Top 10 are over 10 to 1.

“Marriage, Happiness, and Voting Republican: Pick 3”

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Most single people are disgruntled and unhappy, and therefore willing to try anything to fix their profound unhappiness. And if those wild attempts fail, they will accept the consolation prize of ruining others’ happiness. Flood the country with third-world criminals? Sure, why not, maybe a future lover is flushing in amongst the refuse. And if not, well then at least they will ruin the neighborhoods of those smiling suv-driving @rseholes and their oh-so-precious children.

Married people, especially who have children, are not unhappy- they are anxious and nervous. They have found what “works” for their household and society and wish to sink all other competition. There was a study making the clickbait rounds a while back about oxytocin making people more in-group oriented (or “racist” as the clickbaits paraphrased) and I definitely think it’s true, and also perfectly natural.

The seething, single, envious friend has been a trope in books and movies forever, but I think Kevin Bacon and Alec Baldwin portrayed the difference well in John Hughes’ She’s Having A Baby.

* While Sanders might not have the best record, his record is better than about 80% of his fellow democrats on immigration issues (and better than 90% of non-southern democrats), and he showed some balls in the Ezra Klein interview.

If HRC had been asked the same question, rather than give an intellectual defense of the idea of national borders like Sanders did, she would have ducked the question with mealy BS about how immigration enriches America.

* I like Sanders for 2 reasons.

1. He also helps shift the overton window on the left. He makes it acceptable for left-wing Democrats to be anti-immigration. If Trump takes the Whitehouse, Sanders could help him pass a bill to end H1b permanently.

2. If the Trump candidacy collapses, Sanders could be our go-to guy.

While Trump is the best candidate overall, Sanders is far better than any of the other Republicans and highly preferable to Clinton.

* Back in the early 80s, I had to take a sociology class. The big meme was ‘wife battering’ and how those married men were constantly beating wives.

So then the internet provides access to data from law enforcement, the CDC, etc. to actual other than stuff ‘provided’ by feminist professors. I remember male students objecting to the data and the female prof would say “emperical data”.

And it turns out that the absolute safest place for a woman was at home with her husband.

* The Trumpening, has landed. It is, strong, and powerful, and, unwavering, The Trumpening is.

The matrix, has been, breached, and, is being, exposed, at this moment, exposed, more, and more each day, exposed. By The Trumpening, exposed.

Elites, hostile, have, defecated on what is pure, and clean, good, right. The Trumpening has come. It will not, go, will stay, and, grow. The matrix, shattering.

America will, no longer, be, a, sucker, and a whore, from within, or without. The Trumpening is, real, the, expression of, not one, but a people, blood, soil, nation. Boiling frog awakens, a nation does.

* I think that Sanders is actually less electable than Trump. What is electable? Ask David Brooks because it’s a quality that the media made up. Bill Clinton by rights should have been unelectable. What a scoundrel.

* Great point, Aamirkhanfan, about “electability” being a fabricated term. It’s 100% content-free.

My guess is that it was coined by the political class, probably by consultants, as a way to (a) divert big donations toward a small coterie of client pols, (b) protect incumbents, and (c) exclude attractive insurgent candidates. True to form, the media would have picked up on the term because it seemed like “insider” jargon, and aping it made them feel smart and worldly-wise.

I agree, too, about Clinton being a scoundrel. It’s obvious, I know; but nothing illustrates that description better than the fact that we’re still stuck with him, jockeying for attention and notoriety 15 years after he left office. An ex-president of any gravity would have faded away into contemplative retirement; one with even a shred of decency would have slunk away into obscure hedonism, in penance for his malign cultural effect on the society.

Instead, we have the grotesque spectacle of the celebrity ex-president–with another one surely on deck (assuming he deigns to leave office).

Straight Outta Pico

Link.

Miriam Lilian D Or I am looking forward to someday watching “Straight Outta Pico, the Luke Ford story”. I hope I’m played by Catherine Zeta Jones.

Chaim Amalek So they have NWA, and whites have Wagner. Is there really any difference? If you are a Jew, none. Except that Yidden can make a living off of NWA, but not from this Wagner.

David Ehrenstein Apparently you’ve never heard of the Jewish Wagnerians, Chaim. Go forth and Google.

Chaim Amalek A few isolated instances of Jewish self hatred. Real yidden prefer what the dark ones sing. We can sell it to the regular goyim. Nothing new for us. I tell you the first Jew who can figure out how to match a singing shvartze with a dancing tsiganer (a gypsy for you goyim) will make enough money to support 100 yeshivas! If you can figure out how to do this, you would get rich. Tsiganers and Shvartzes, together at last! Only Yidden can make this happen.

Chaim Amalek Yidden own. Goyim rent. From us. When Moshiach comes, everyone will want to live in a Hasid-owned apartment. Even the cockroaches will fight with each other to get in, same as the Africans and Arabs fight to live in Europe.

Christopher Donnellan Unless there’s a mass pogrom in Crown Heights first.

Chaim Amalek You should know by now that anything that tries to kill us just makes us stronger. There was a pogrom in early 90s, but the Yidden bounced back stronger than ever, owning more apartment buildings to collect rent from more goyim.

The Bizarre Charge That Obama Is An Anti-Semite

J.J. Goldberg writes: The campaign against President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal tends toward the apocalyptic even when it’s in repose. Right now it’s virtually jumping the rails, plunging into a swamp of anti-Obama conspiracy theory, with a gaggle of conservative pundits openly accusing the president of anti-Semitism.
The charge has been a staple of the extreme far right since Obama first began his White House bid in 2007. Until recent weeks, though, it wasn’t common in the mainstream. Now it’s spreading like a chemical spill in a coal miner’s backyard creek.
As the theory goes, Obama’s recent comment about money and lobbyists mobilizing to stop the deal is actually a veiled reference to Jewish donors and pro-Israel lobbyists. In mentioning them, he’s supposedly trying to silence his opponents by threatening to unleash the anti-Semites.
Not that certain Jewish donors and a brigade of pro-Israel lobbyists aren’t mobilizing to stop the deal. They are, energetically. It’s just that it’s rude to say so. The president is supposed to pretend he doesn’t notice.
Technically, the Jewish community is tangential to the main act. The actual showdown takes place in September on Capitol Hill. The fault line will be partisan, not religious. Until then, though, the theatrics are heavily populated by Jewish activists. Israel’s welfare is Item No. 1 in the debate, at least for much of the opposition.
And lest we forget, the field marshal leading the anti-deal troops is Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. His deliberate centrality to the drama radically enhances his American Jewish allies’ visibility. In effect, Netanyahu has turned the Iran debate into a global battle of the Jewish people against the great world powers.
It’s fantastically foolhardy. Former Israeli justice minister Tzipi Livni is calling for an urgent Knesset inquiry into Netanyahu’s anti-deal campaign, its legality and possible damage to Israel-U.S. relations.
Stateside, the Obama-as-anti-Semite theme seems familiar, but it actually surfaced suddenly. It happened July 22, right after the president appeared on “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.” The president said that if people favoring the deal contacted their representatives, they’d be heard. Indeed, he said, “the same is true on every single issue. If people are engaged, eventually the political system responds. Despite the money, despite the lobbyists, it still responds.”
A neutral observer might read this as a comment on America’s current debate over money in politics and citizens’ feeling of powerlessness in shaping policy. But some Jewish conservatives read it differently.
Lee Smith, right-wing political columnist for the online magazine Tablet, called it a “dog-whistle.” He claimed Obama was “hinting broadly at anti-Semitic conceits — like dual loyalties, moneyed interests, Jewish lobbies — to scare off Democrats tempted to vote against” the deal. He predicted that if any Democrats did oppose it, Obama was “going to tar them as dual loyalists who are willing to send Americans out to make war on behalf of Jewish causes.” That’s a dramatic prediction, based on rather slim evidence. But it’s classic Smith.
Jonathan Tobin, online editor of Commentary, called the “Daily Show” comment a “smear.” When the president predicts that war will result from the deal’s defeat, Tobin wrote, he’s labeling opponents “warmongers.” And since “money and lobbyists” is obviously code for “Jews,” Obama is calling Jews warmongers, ready to send other people’s sons to die.
Tobin further dismissed Obama’s claim that the “only alternative to his appeasement of Iran would be war.” Now, you might think calling Obama’s negotiation “appeasement” is itself a smear, implicitly identifying Obama with Neville Chamberlain, who handed Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938. But one man’s smear is another man’s Speaking Truth To Power.

Muslims In America

I almost ran a Muslim down the other day because she stepped into the street and I had to slam on my brakes.
My hair stylist told me that one came in to the salon last week–from Saudi Arabia. And the woman’s mother said they would have to drape a tent around her daughter during her hair cut/color because there were men in the salon.
I told my stylist she should’ve said no. If you want to get your hair done in an American salon you don’t get to have your own personal tent draped around you.
