The White Underclass

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* “And of course, the white underclass lives on welfare and it isn’t pretty. And there are Mestizo Americans who work their asses off and genuinely aren’t mooching.”

Naw, they’re just driving down wages, allowing employers to delay automation and causing education and healthcare costs to skyrocket. Oh, and they’re also destroying supply and demand signals to be completely perverted.

The white underclass, if wages, bennies, conditions etc., improve sufficiently, could and would do these jobs. It’s one of the – genuine – benefits of the free market. But having all those lazy (they can’t even be bothered to finish the free-to-them high school that’s getting thrown at them! the upwardly Jewish immigrants of yesteryear would have regarded them as lazy, squawking potatoes) Mestizos around lets them off the hook on things like labor conditions and automation.

It’s always astonishing, how many people rail against mooching and ignore the one free market incentive that would drive people into decent work and lessen the need for government benefits.

* I mentioned a couple months ago that Trump should buy all the remaining Jeb! guac bowls and have staffers stack them in a pyramid like the skulls of the vanquished.

It could still happen!

* It’s now gonna be Trump vs Media.

And Trump’s template is well-poised for this.

Media treated McCain and Romney unfairly. But McCain and Romney kept their heads up as if the referee and sports commentators were fair and professional.

The template of McCain and Romney was the Magnanimous White Man with the Presidential Style.
Privately, McCain is a hothead and Romney is a two-faced weasel, but their public persona was the straight-laced white man who would never get rough-and-tumble. Now, such style is fine IF the media were fair and objective. But the media are not. When the referee is crooked, it has to called out.

And Trump’s template from the beginning was un-presidential. Populist and Macho. fight fire with fire.
He began the campaign calling counter-foul on the media that calls more fouls on the White GOP Man.
Media foul-calls have gotten so BS that Trump needs to go with Megyn Kelly Option.
Fight Back.

His theme has to be Hillary + Media = collusion. He should call it just that. Collusion.
Trump appealed to GOP voters by playing the tough guy going against the collusion of establishment + Bushes + Cruz + Kasich + media + pundits + neocons + etc.

Also, Trump is better poised than previous GOP candidates to play the identity card. He can position himself as the candidate of middle class/working class, citizens, and patriots against Hillary who is for illegals, urban elites, and globalist oligarchs.
If Hillary plays the Women Card, he should say her foreign policy favored crazy Muslim radicals against secular government and made things less safe for women by encouraging illegal immigration.

Trump should blow the cover on what happened in 2008 and expose how the media to do the same for Hillary.

This may make media work even harder against him, but it may also fire up people against the media that is just a propaganda tool. Trump can also say he fought Fox News too and much of Talk Radio.
Americans like fair play, and if Trump plays this right, he can get much sympathy.

He just mustn’t melt down like Mckenroe. Trump needs to do it like a circus and have fun with it.

It’s The Immigration, Stupid!

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* In 1992, we had Buchanan and Perot. Disdained by the powerful, and regrettably defeated.

Now we have the best of those two men in one.

The Democrats have lost the monopoly on identity politics.

* What is interesting is that the Democrats are perfectly comfortable assembling a coalition that is fifty percent plus one. I suppose it is because if you are the spoils party you don’t want more than what is necessary on your side since it splits up the pie into too many pieces.

The GOP acts like fifty percent plus one is a loser. America First if pushed correctly could easily get the necessary numbers to win. We don’t need the entire electorate.

* Only a tiny minority of Americans have ever heard of any controversy about
“America First”.
An even smaller fraction actually have a problem with it.
On its face, it is an obvious position for US
to take both domestically and internationally and one most Americans intuitively agree with.
It is a winner for Trump.
I wonder if Trump is aware of its pedigree?

* The lesson is clear: we need another McCain or Romney. The “keeping one eye at democrats to see if they approve” method just hasn’t been tried sufficiently enough.

* Democratic operative’s response to Trump wrapping up the nomination:

* Americans vs America does personalize it.
It also suggests there is no animus against immigrants who are legal(citizens), many of whom must be against the wanton disregard for the law that has occurred for past few decades.

* I don’t get this hatred directed against the America First movement.

Also, does anyone ever notice that taking an anti-war stance is only celebrated when liberals do it? When liberals are against a war, it is because they are good people who don’t want others to suffer. But when conservatives are against a war, it is because they are selfish people who don’t care that others are suffering.

* Just as majority white America had no problem choosing a black man as President, I’m sure that majority people of color America will have no problem choosing white men to lead them. Neera really gives me comfort that nonwhites will run this country in a colorblind fashion.

Methinks Ned, Jon, Neera, etc. doth protest too much. If they have nothing to worry about from that horrible awful racis’ Trump, why do they sound worried?

* I pray that the Democrats keep pushing sex politics, open borders, foreign wars, and the coalition of the fringes.

I pray that Bernie keeps running and winning the People’s votes.

I pray that Hillary wields her Ninja superdelegates and wins the nomination.

And most of all I pray that the Dems and Pubs explode into a billion scintillating shards.

The bigger and sooner the crash, the better.

* Why not “Americans First” instead of “America First?”

* That’s genius. Hope Trump takes that idea.

Related, Dougherty on America First:

* And as the white vote becomes useless, so will the infrastructure that whites built and maintain. See Detroit.

* Dave, isn’t it amazing that she mentions three decades? That is a long time. Yes, I know it appears to be baked into our future cake, but after possibly the largest mass migration in history, they still need another three decades to seal the deal.

Just think about what this implies. We have had fifty years of immigration liberalization for non-Europeans. And even after fifty years of record setting levels of immigration, this little lady reminds us to just wait for another three decades. Her implication is that we, meaning Europeans, will regret it.

If that is the case, which I think it is, then isn’t it strange that we still permit unprecedented levels of such immigration?

* Yes, it would be most fortunate if people of color become the majority. Look at all the model nation states and cities run by people of the color.

* My heart kvells when Hindu supremacists speak in explicitly racial terms. Their honesty is refreshing.

* The degree to which the American educated and professional classes doubled down on mass migration by non-white people to the US, and apparently to Europe as well, is really amazing. I just don’t remember the same degree of enthusiasm thirty years ago.

And there is absolutely no need for it. Populations everywhere are considerably (3x to 4x) higher than they were in the 1876-1924 years. The United States is settled and developed. There is no need to bring anyone in, and a considerable environmental argument against it. Advances in automation tech have made massive amounts of unskilled labor literally redundant.

But the thing is these people literally can’t imagine why anyone would object to mass migration. So they don’t understand Trump at all. They just assume he will lose in a landslide (very unlikely unless the election is stolen), or minimize this element of his appeal.

Its like someone in the Japanese elite in the 1930s not understanding why anyone would think something could go wrong with the attempt to turn China into a Japanese colony.

Salon: Ann Coulter’s flirting with white supremacists again: Even she should know better than to retweet certain people

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Luke Ford

It’s nice of them to be so concerned for her well-being.

Salon: Ann Coulter reacted to the news of Texas Senator Ted Cruz pulling out of the race for the Republican nomination with all the class one would expect:

Coulter took particular pleasure in gently toying with Steve Sailer, though to what end wasn’t entirely clear:

Especially when one considers that she later retweeted praise from the organization with which Sailer’s affiliated. Maybe she was simply a little too giddy from the news of Cruz’s demise? Whatever the reason, she opted to retweet praise from a source she really should know better than to accept praise from:

That would the official account of VDARE, the white supremacist website named after the the girl who was allegedly the first white child born in the Americas.

As for its relation to Sailer, following Hurricane Katrina, he published an article on the site arguing that African-Americans need more guidance than other races, comparing their behavior after that natural disaster to that of the Japanese after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. There was little looting after it because, in Sailer’s words, “when you get down to it, Japanese aren’t blacks.”

And Then There Was One—And He Means What He Says About Immigration

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Luke Ford

Ann Coulter writes: A guy just won the Republican nomination for president by spending no money, hiring no pollsters, running virtually no TV ads, and just saying what he truly believed no matter how many times people told him he couldn’t say that.

I always hoped I’d see this once before I died. It’s like to going to Mecca, for Americans. Pay attention, because it’s the last time we’re going to see it in our lifetimes.

For those of you not yet on the Trump Train, I know you don’t want to vote for Hillary, but all the pundits have been trying to convince you that Trump’s a complete fraud. (That was between their smug assurances that he wouldn’t make it out of Iowa.)

It’s odd. When Trump launched his campaign by talking about Mexican rapists and the wall, his critics hysterically denounced him, rushing to TV to say he did NOT represent the Republican Party! Only after it became resoundingly clear that large majorities of Americans agreed with Trump did his critics try a new tack: He doesn’t believe it!

That’s what my friend Andy McCarthy at the now-defunct National Review wrote recently.[ Trump Would Press the Agenda That Drove His Voters from the GOP, April 30, 2016] I had to spend the weekend figuring out how to attack a friend without saying, “This is the most retarded argument I’ve ever read.”

Here goes: This was not Andy’s best effort.

Of all the arguments that could be made against Trump, McCarthy settled on: I don’t trust him on immigration. (I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at that pitch meeting.)

He bases this claim on a remark Trump made as a businessman four years ago in which he regurgitated the official GOP line about Romney—and which was being stated as fact 1 million times a day on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.

To wit, Trump told Newsmax that Mitt Romney “had a crazy policy of self-deportation which was maniacal,” adding, “He lost all of the Latino vote … he lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”

It is strange that Trump would denounce “self-deportation,” which is like a chocolate sundae compared to his own plans for illegals.

But to give you the tenor of the interview, Trump went on to promote “Celebrity Apprentice,” note that he had just bought the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C., and boast about his recently acquired Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and Spa in Jupiter, Fla.—”which is a phenomenal area.”

No To Trump Because Holocaust

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Luke Ford

Many of my Jewish friends won’t vote for Trump because Holocaust. Because the Holocaust shows what happens when you try to blame minorities for your problems.

Another Jewish friend says: Perhaps your friends are sincere, but I am more cynical. There are some who see Trump as a nascent Nazi based on his policies regarding illegal immigration and Muslims, but anyone who understands anything about Nazi Germany realizes there is no analogous behavior.

I read yesterday that law professor David Bernstein who has been a contributor to the Volokh Conspiracy for years, and in my opinion is an Israel Firster, has indicated he will support Hillary Clinton.

He is not the first nor the last Jewish NeoConservative to support Clinton over Trump. What is the reason for this since for years they have attacked Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama on the grounds they are not sufficiently sympathetic to Israel. During this time they have praised George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, and now in this cycle virtually all the Republican presidential aspirants except Trump and Rand Paul. They claim to be conservative, but the overriding political concern is not ideology but fealty to Israel.

I think their unwillingness to support Trump and to support Clinton rests on the following:

When Trump says he will follow a policy that supports American interests, they realize that their rhetoric that unyielding support for Israel is in America’s best interest, is in fact untrue. Once Americans actually realize that America and Israel have divergent interests and that what is best for one is not necessarily best for the other they fear that will lead to a groundswell of anti-Israel policies.

When Trump says that he will make allies pay more of the costs of American support, this will impinge on Israel since it is not a third world nation, has a thriving computer and biotech sector, yet is the largest recipient of Ameican aid. This aid will go and Israel may be asked to pay for part of American military stationed at or near the Mediterrean and/or Persian Gulf.

Obama was notoriously (at least in public) non reactive and calm when insults and slings and arrows were directed at him. Trump is notoriously thin skinned. The supporters of Israel realize that if Netanyahu had done to Trump what Netanyahu did to Obama, Trump would punish him. He would not allow Netanyahu to actively work to undermine a strategic deal he was working on, such as the Iran deal. He wouldn’t stand for Netanyahu speaking to congress without clearing it with him first, and he wouldn’t let him upstage and insult him at a press conference. Clinton would take it and not take it out on Israel. Trump just might.
