* The USA lost to Australia in the women’d 4×100 but hey, we are more diverse! I notice a HUGE push for ‘diversity’ (eg less whites ) in US Swimming:
a. they have a full time diversity officer- imagine how much that disrupts practice and focus for good white swimmer.
b. cullen jones got more funding than Phelps for most of phelps’ career -including sponsorship.
c. almost every USA swimmer that is sponsored by speedo is mixed race – whites are ignored.
d. we are literally willing to have a less effective swim team in the name of diversity.
* Barack Hussein Obama was bragging about how proud he is that a Muslim woman in a hijab is representing The U.S in the Olympics in Rio De Janeiro.
Not surprising, because he is the identity politics president first and the American president a distant last.
* I’m sure a flood of comments are about to start pouring in along the lines of this being a competition to see which Western nation has the best black people vs. which despotism has the best drugs. Again, whatever. Don’t care, although the doping thing, which is probably the most odious byproduct of the death of amateurism, really does annoy me. Russian-style state-sponsored doping for ideological reasons actually bothers me less than individual athletes choosing to cheat to secure more lucrative endorsements. Pure class warfare, I know, but again, I don’t care: at least I’m open about it! Frankly, I’m more fascinated by the way in which the entry of more and more women’s sports has become the West’s way of “rigging” the Games in its favour, not unlike the Winter Olympics (for the record, I prefer the Winter Olympics, and am happy about this rigging). In particular, it seems as though a country’s success in women’s team sports is directly correlated with how easy it is to be an out lesbian in said country. More power to them…and us!
* Brazilians regardless of race find European standards of beauty to be attractive. Most Brazilians would agree that Gisele Bundchen is far more attractive than the Sudanese Dinka Alek Wek for example.
Gisele Bundchen is very popular among the Brazilian masses. She is not hated by most of them.
* Black American women have a lot of hostility for White women (cf their frequent complaints about White women stealing successful Black men). And there’s a whole academic industry devoted to the psychic harm that “Eurocentic” standards of beauty inflict on Black women.
* The first gold medal goes to an American girl for shooting guns. Ain’t America great?
* One of the reasons to watch these things is when the American announcer is forced to describe a non-American black. They’ve been trained to say African-American, but that can’t work with a Canadian, but they are allergic to saying the word “black” in any context.
The New Religion may kill us all, but it will have its amusing bits.
* The real question is who will strike first: ISIS – after all, the American and Israeli delegations are in the city – or the drug dealers from the favelas. And this brings up two interesting questions: if ISIS and the “traficantes” strike at the same time, will they join forces or will they fight? And if they fight, who will win? ISIS wins when it comes to fanaticism and will to win. The traficantes have home turf advantage and probably numbers. In terms of savagery, it is tough to call. It is like trying to decide between Jack the Ripper or Jeffrey Dahmer. From playing soccer with human heads to burning entire families alive inside bus tiers and blowing kids to pieces by bombing pre-schools, there is no end to these guys’ creativity and resourcefulness in the art of being repulsive savages.
And I don’t understand why so many people are surprised that the “Girl from Ipanema” is blond with green eyes. The elite of Rio has always been of aristocratic Portuguese stock with a lot of French(because the territory Rio is on was owned by the French) and Dutch blood. The theme of the song revolves around the inability of a cowardly young man who is inept with girls making a move on a girl he fancies.
* I don’t want to see women boxing, playing Rugby, wrestling, Lifting enormous weights, throwing shot puts and hammers, or engaging in “combat” sports or feats of strength.
Besides being absurdly inferior to the men in these sports, most of women who participate seem to of dubious sexuality or incredibly unfeminine.
* Germany v. Mexico Olympic Soccer
Mexican free kick
Germany set up a wall
Wow. Just wow
I can’t even
Literally Hitler
* Concussions mostly come from getting hit “on the button”, a spot on chin about an inch in from the tip. The jaw works as a lever, spinning the cranium around on an axis.
Knockouts and concussions mostly happen when the brain touches the dura mater. Your brain floats in thick liquid called cerebral-spinal fluid. When hit on the button, your skull rotates fast, with a lag due to brain floating in fluid. Think ice in a glass. The dura mater is a layer between brain and skull.
So why no headgear? Headgear does not protect the jaw. It is a big pad on the front of your skull, which is the hardest bone in the body. It protects the eyes from cuts. Your peripheral vision stinks.
Also, boxing gloves do not protect people being hit, it protects your hands punching folks on the melon.
* Think Newton’s cradle: the force applied to the head in each case is the same, the overall head/gear combo moves less, the loose mobile absorbent of the energy is the brain.
* Explanations that I’ve read:
1. The headgear becomes an extension of your head and expands the area that your opponent can come into contact with and increases the likelihood of you getting hit.
2. Headgear blocks your peripheral vision and slides over your eyes.
3. Once your brain goes into motion headgear can’t stop it from crashing into your skull.
4. Headgear cushions blows, but you get hit more often.
The main benefit of headgear is to protect the eyes and reduce cuts and bruises during sparring.
* Brazil did go from the level of sub-Saharan Africa a mere 60 years ago to being one of the World’s 6 or 7 largest economies – depending on how you measure GDP. But the problem is Brazil reached a ceiling. Brazil has enough talent to create and manage First World industries, but not enough people to work at that level that would elevate the country to 1st World status. Thus, Brazil is an unique country that is an economic power with First World industries(nuclear reactors, super-computers, airplanes, sophisticated weaponry, etc), but is a Third World country with millions of people living in squalor.

Probably not people at all. Probably some kind of monkey. They eat each other and worship bundles of sticks and mud. You can never remember the names of their countries, which have a new Main Nigger every half hour and too many snakes and bugs anyway. They eat those, too. They put bones in their noses and wear plants for clothes.
Good Points:
Don’t feel pain the way we do.
Proper Forms of Address:
Jig, coon, fishmouth, soot-back, shitskin, boy.
Two Anecdotes Illustrating Something of the Negro Character:
A traveling cattle barterer asks to stay the night at a root gatherer’s hut. The root gatherer agrees but says the cattle barterer will have to sleep with the root gatherer’s daughter. The cattle barterer goes to get onto the mat with the root gatherer’s daughter and sees that she’s very dead, so he spends all night eating her. In the morning, the root gatherer asks the traveling cattle barterer how he liked sleeping with his daughter. “She was wonderful,” says the cattle barterer, especially those delicious maggots in her mouth.”
“Those weren’t maggots,” says the root gatherer, “those were just some grains of rice. She’s only been dead since yesterday.”
Then there was an African pervert who ate women before they were cooked.
ARABS
Racial Characteristics:
Wear bed sheets and put bags over their women’s heads. They burp and fart during meals and wash themselves in sand. They bugger little boys and practice some stupid religion that they’re trying to get all our Negroes to believe in. Disorderly cowards when they have to fight anyone else, they nonetheless quite courageously murder each other and chop off people’s hands for littering. They plant bombs everywhere they go and own all the earth’s oil, which is why you can’t buy high-test if you’re wearing a yarmulke. They hate Jews because Jews are the only
people in the world with noses uglier than their own, and they’re cornering the Cadillac market so that the Hebes will have to drive Buicks.
Good Points:
If they had any country clubs, they wouldn’t let Jews in.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Arab Character:
During the Yom Kippur War, Syrian armored units were preparing to charge several fortified positions in the Golan Heights when the Israelis canceled their credit rating.
AUSTRALIANS
Racial Characteristics:
Violently loud alcoholic roughnecks whose idea of fun is to throw up on your car. The national sport is breaking furniture and the average daily consumption of beer in Sydney is ten and three quarters Imperial gallons for children under the age of nine. “Making a Shambles” is required study in the primary schools and all Australians are bilingual, speaking both English and Sheep. Possibly as a result of their country’s being upside down, the local dialect has over 400 terms for vomit. These include “technicolor yawn” “talking to the toilet,” “round-trip meal ticket,” and “singing lunch.” It is illegal to employ the aboriginal inhabitants as anything but toilets, and some of the peculiar forms of native wildlife have up to nine assholes. The recent destruction of Darwin by a hurricane was actually a cover story for the regrettable coincidence of paydays on three separate sheep stations.
Good Points:
Amusing zoos.
Proper Forms of Address:
Steady there, Cool off, For Christ’s sake-not in the sink, Stay back, I’ve got a gun!
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Australian Character:
An Australian fellow asks his girl friend to fight, but she says she doesn’t want to because she isn’t feeling well.
“Whatta ya mean, not feeling well?” he says.
“You know,” she says, “I’ve got my time of the month.”
“Whatta ya mean, time of the month?” he says.
“You know,” she says, “I’ve got my period.”
“Whatta ya mean, period?” he says.
“You know,” she says, “I’m bleeding down here.” And she opens up her pants to show him.
“Jesus,” he says, “no wonder you’re bleeding! They’ve gone and cut your cock off!”
CANADIANS
Racial Characteristics:
Hard to tell a Canadian from an extremely boring regular white person unless he’s dressed to go outdoors. Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate sport fishermen. It is thought to resemble a sort of arctic Nebraska. It’s reported that Canadians keep pet French people. If true, this is their only interesting trait. At any rate, they are apparently able to train Frenchmen to play hockey, which is more than any
European has ever been able to do.
Good Points:
Still have plenty of Indians to abuse.
Proper Forms of Address:
Bud, mac, mister, hey you.
Some Examples of Canadian Repartee:
Two Canadians are talking in a bar. One Canadian says, “Who was that lady I saw you with last night?”
“That was my wife.” replies the other.
A lady is shopping in a Toronto drugstore and accidentally leaves the bottle of aspirins that she bought on the counter. She gets on a bus and the minute the bus has pulled away from the curb remembers leaving her purchase behind. “My aspirins! My aspirins!” she yells. And the bus driver says, “Maybe you left them in the drugstore.”
A little Canadian boy named Johnny Fuckerfaster is screwing a little girl under the porch of his house. His mother comes out the door and yells for him, “Johnny! Johnny Fuckerfaster!”
“I’ll be there in a minute,” he says.
CHINESE
Racial Characteristics:
Hordes of incomprehensible rat-eaters with a peculiar political philosophy and a dangerous penchant for narcotic drugs. No one can possibly know what dark and grotesque things pass through the minds of this hydraheaded racial anomaly which is, after all, more like a monstrous colony of flesh-crazed carpenter ants than a nation of rational men. Only a fool would deal with two-legged insects ..such as these. Our only hope is that the farsighted leaders of our own land
Will join with those of at least nominally Caucasian Soviet Russia and that together they will treat us to the welcome spectacle of a thermonuclear obliteration of this yellow menace.
Good Points:
They’re almost as far away as it’s possible to be.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Chinese Character:
Nine hundred million Chinese walk into a bar. They order a beer, pay up, and then just sit there, sipping their drinks, not saying a word. Finally, the bartender can’t stand it anymore. “We don’t see many Chinese in here,” he says.
“And with this atmosphere of hedonistic individualism capitalistically exploiting the labor of the masses and wasting the people’s agricultural resources,” say the Chinese, “you won’t see many more.”
ENGLISH
Racial Characteristics:
Cold-blooded queers with nasty complexions and terrible teeth who once conquered half the world but still haven’t figured out central heating. They warm their beers and chill their baths and boil all their food, including bread. An intensely snobbish group, but who exactly they’re
snubbing is an international mystery. Lately they’ve been getting their comeuppance world power-wise, as their shabby, antiquated, and bankrupt little back alley of a country slowly winds down like the ill-crafted clockwork playthings of which their undersized children are so fond. In fact, last year their entire government had to kiss the ass of the fat aboriginal nig-nog who runs Uganda to retrieve a single flit hack writer from the clutches of that august nation. They all have large collections of something useless like lamp finials or toad eggs, and they would have lost both world wars if it were not for us. They like to be spanked with canes and that’s just what they deserve.
Good Points:
It’s relatively easy to make yourself understood with them.
Proper Forms of Address:
Limey, lime-eater, pom, poof, sister-boy.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the English Character:
In his unpublished memoirs, Benjamin Disraeli tells the story of a political conference with then-Prime Minister William Gladstone, who habitually conducted such private discussions while being fellated by an able-bodied seaman of the Royal Navy. At one point during their
talk, the sailor suddenly looked up from Gladstone’s penis and said, “Excuse me, Sir, but you’ve come.”
“By Jove, so I have,” said Gladstone, and he gave the tar a sovereign.
FRENCH
Racial Characteristics:
Sawed-off sissies who eat snails and slugs and cheese that smells like people’s feet. They take filthy pictures of each other with cheap cameras, wash nothing but their cunts, fight with their feet, and perform sex acts with their faces. Utter cowards who force their own children to drink wine, they gibber like baboons even when you try to speak to them in their own wimpy language.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the French Character:
A Frenchman goes home with his best friend and they find the friend’s wife laying naked on the dining room table with her legs spread apart. The Frenchman takes a close look at her cunt and says, “Zees looks like zee menstrual blood!” Then he bends down, takes a deep whiff, and says,
“Zees smells like zee menstrual blood!” Finally he gets down on his knees, eats her out for about twenty minutes, and says, “Zees tastes like zee menstrual blood! Without a doubt, it eez zee menstrual blood! Mon dieu, I am glad zat we did not fuck her! !”
GERMANS
Racial Characteristics:
Piggish-looking, sadomasochistic automatons whose only known forms of relaxation are swilling watery beer from vast tubs and singing the idiotically repetitive verses of their porcine folk tune-both of which amusements probably hark back to a prehuman state. Germans have never been successfully Christianized. Their language lacks any semblance of civilized speech. Their usual diet consists almost wholly of old cabbage and sections of animal intestines filled with blood and gore. Once every two or three decades, they set forth, lemming-like, on
pointless military adventures during which great numbers of them are slaughtered-much to the improvement Of the world in general. Their lardy women have long, tangled masses of sticky hair under their arms, and the men shave the sides of their heads.
Good Points:
Kill a lot of French.
Proper Form of Address:
Kraut, Hun, Heiny, spike-head, sausage-breath.
A German Joke of the War Years Illustrating Something of the German Character:
If your sister married a Jew-that will make you sauerkraut.
If your son married a Jew-that will make you bratwurst.
If your mother married a Jew-that will make you soap.
GREEKS
Racial Characteristics:
Degenerate, dirty, and impoverished descendants of a bunch of la-de-da fruit salads who invented democracy and then forgot how to use it while walking around dressed up like girls. Today they bugger sheep and are engaged in an international campaign to take over all the world’s small, filthy grocery stores. They eat the insides out of goats with their fingers. Their toilets are mere holes in the floor And they cringe at the least threat from the imbecilic, taffy-yanking Turks next door.
Good Points:
Cute alphabet.
Proper Forms of Address:
Feda-face, sheep dip, dog fashion, GeekoEuropean, eek-a-Greek!
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Greek Character:
An ignorant peasant girl marries a man who’s been in the Greek navy for twenty years. After their third anniversary, her mother starts to worry because the girl still isn’t pregnant. “Why are you not with child, daughter?” she asks. “Does not your husband make the love to you?”
“Of course:’ says the girl, blushing deeply, “but … but … to tell the truth, Mother, I just can’t keep from shitting afterwards.”
INDIANS
Racial Characteristics:
Dismal, obsequious deminiggers whose gods have too many arms and legs and about whom entirely too many articles have appeared in the Sunday New York Times Magazine. They wrap their heads in towels and wipe their asses with their hands. They are unable to feed themselves and what food they do have tastes as if it was mixed with the offal from muskrat dens. Their culture is moribund, their politics dictatory, their economy stagnant, their skins sebaceous, and their social order loathsome to the minds of decent men everywhere. ‘Sub-‘ is no idle prefix in its application to this continent.
Good Points:
Dirty statues.
Proper Forms of Address:
Wog, towel head, curry-dipper, human refuse.
Three Important Questions Concerning the Future of India:
What do you feed 563,490,000 Indians when you only have 300 pounds of wheat?
Leftovers.
What’s the difference between an Indian toddler and a regulation NFL football?
A football has to weigh at least fourteen ounces.
What’s the literal translation of the Hindi phrase for “take a shit”?
“Nothing to do. ”
IRISH
Racial Characteristics:
Pie-faced, neckless, bandy-legged sots who almost never fuck. Ignorant and superstitious, they are in utter thrall to the vile, conniving priests of their dark and barbarous religion. Their women have their legs on upside down and no man in the country eats anything but potatoes, and only eats them when has out of strong drink. The principal delights of the Irish are in quarreling and fighting and killing each other with bombs. They can be trained to do nothing
useful that a dray horse can’t accomplish in half the time, and they spew out a continuous stream of mumbles and grunts which they fancy to be “poems.” They sell their children for whiskey.
Good Points:
Many Irish are dead.
Proper Forms of Address:
Bogmouth, peat-face, Mr. Potato Head, nun-buns, dumb Mick.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Irish Character:
There once was an Irishman who got so drunk while he was in Rome that he kissed his wife and beat the Pope’s foot to a pulp with a coal shovel.
ISRAELIS
Racial Characteristics:
Living proof that money can’t buy love, these greedy, usurious, scheming Christ-killers, who won’t eat pork because it reminds them of their parents, go around moving into other people’s countries and buying up all the pawnshops and delicatessens. They were personally responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire, the 1929 stock market crash, and the loss of World War II by a prominent European country. Now they’re ruining show business. Their fiendish heathen religious rituals include mutilating the penises of their own sons and drinking the blood of Christian babies during Lent. The world’s nations have historically competed with each other to see who could get rid of them fastest. They control the legal, medical, psychiatric, and accountancy professions, and are the force behind international communism, freemasonry, sex education, the media, and the catholic church.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Israeli Character:
A pious rabbi in Tel Aviv had to give up adultery for business reasons. He kept losing interest on his wife.
ITALIANS
Racial Characteristics:
This least appealing of the European peoples combines natural criminal propensities with an attitude of slavish idolatry toward that Whore of Rome, the Pope. When speaking, the Italians gesture frantically with their hands in an attempt to distract your gaze from their ugly
faces-upon which are clearly etched the marks of their moral and intellectual degeneracy.
They cannot stop stealing, and will sometimes go so far as to steal money that is rightfully theirs from the pockets of their own trousers even as they wear them. Worse yet, they rarely catch themselves doing so. (Not that it matters, since their currency is worth nothing.)
Otherwise, they amuse themselves by kidnapping the neighbor’s children, voting for Communists, and staying out on strike, where they’ve been since the 1940s. On the field of battle they are abject cowards, and in the kitchen they’re enthralled with bruised tomatoes and the noodle only.
Good Points:
Big tits.
Proper Forms of Address:
Ginzo, guinea, dago, spaghetti-bender, wop.
A German Joke of the War Years Illustrating Some Points Concerning the Italian Character:
During the campaign in North Africa, an Italian tank and a German tank accidentally collided and the two surprised drivers jumped out. The Italian yelled, “I surrender! I surrender!” The German shot him.
JAPANESE
Racial Characteristics:
Resembling the Chinese in many respects but mercifully less numerous. Their idea of a good time is to torture people, preferably by inserting a glass rod in the penis, then doing the predictable thing. And this is only for captured business competitors. During time Of war, they
resort to more drastic measures entirely. They have no new ideas of their own or any native creativity, but they are able to copy everything we do quite nicely, considering the color of their skin. Their diet consists principally of fish, which they do not cook or even, in many cases, kill. It’s rumored that they know of sex acts peculiar unto themselves, and with any luck, so it will stay. The most frightening thing about the Japanese is that we’ve tried the atomic bomb on them twice and it doesn’t seem to have much effect.
Good Points:
Frequently commit suicide.
Proper Forms of Address:
Nip, Jap, dink, gook, yellow rat.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Japanese Character:
There was once a half-Japanese, half-Polish businessman in Tokyo who attempted to export miniaturized dildos.
MEXICANS
Racial Characteristics:
Resembling the Spanish in all their more loathsome characteristics except lazier, dirtier, and more thieving. A large percentage of American Indian blood in the average Mexican deprives him of any natural human sympathies or moral sense and makes him a wholly unmanageable drunk. The principal industry of Mexico is the production of pornographic playing cards that depict their women corrupting the morals of donkeys. Completely untrustworthy, the Mexican will make food out of anything that will hold still, feed it to you, and charge you for it besides.
An attempt to conquer and hence eliminate this pesky breed of miscegenators was launched by our government during the last century, but wholesale nausea on the part of our troops, when they’d witnessed Mexican home life prevented our doing as thorough a job as we should have.
Good Points:
You can buy their twelve-year-old daughters.
Proper Forms of Address:
Wetback, beaner, chili-dipper, taco turd, flap hat.
Three Important Questions Concerning the Mexican Economy:
What do you call all thirty-eight members of a Mexican family packed into one Cadillac?
Grand theft auto.
How did they get all thirty-eight members of a Mexican family packed into one Cadillac?
They picked the lock.
What’s hot on the outside, brown on the inside, and stinks like hell all over?
All thirty-eight members of a Mexican family packed into one Cadillac.
POLES
Racial Characteristics:
A nation known as the Rudimental Reading Class of Europe. Its citizens are turkey-loaf look-alikes descended from a barbarian horde that took a wrong turn on its way to sack Rome. They spent the Middle Ages trying to fight Vikings on horseback and invented breech-loading artillery by pointing their cannons the wrong way around. They didn’t know about sexual intercourse until the tenth century, having previously reproduced by raiding warthog litters. In 1947, the Poles became a Communist country under the impression that it was a rite of the
Catholic church, and today thew principal exports are snow tires manufactured from their own native deposits of snow.
Good Points:
Easy to beat at contract bridge.
Proper Forms of Address:
Polack, dumbo, lug wrench, kielbasa brain.
An Anecdote Illustrating Some, thing of the Polish Character:
A Polish queer, was recently arrested in Warsaw for trying to blow his wife.
RUSSIANS
Racial Characteristics:
Brutish, dumpy, boorish lard-bags in cardboard double-breasted suits. Lickspittle slaveys to the maniacal schemes of their blood-lusting Red overlords. They make bicycles out of cement and can be sent to Siberia for listening to the wrong radio station. Their Communist party cuts the dicks off of high school boys to get women athletes, and shoots losing chess champions in the kneecaps. They shine their shoes with shit and spread Shinola on their wheat fields.
Good Points:
They aren’t allowed to leave their country.
Proper Forms of Address:
Redski, Russki, Commie scum, stinking Red slime, puke-gutted Bolshevik assholesucker.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Russian Character:
Three Russian kids were looking at a couple of pairs of blue jeans on a clothesline and discussing what they wanted most in the world. “I want a big box of turnips,” said the first kid, “so I could have enough black market rubles to buy a pair of blue jeans like those.”
“I want a big box of Shock- Worker’s Medals,” said the second kid, “so I could have enough People’s Hero privileges to buy a pair of blue jeans like those.”
“”I want a big box of parents,” said the third kid.
“A big box of parents?! Why do you want a big box of parents?!” said the other two. “Because” said the third kid, “I only have two parents and my sister turned them both in to the Secret Police and now she owns both those pairs of blue jeans!”
SCOTS
Racial Characteristics:
Sour, stingy, depressing beggars who parade around in schoolgirl skirts with nothing on underneath. Their fumbled attempt at speaking the English language has been a source of amusement for five centuries, and their idiot music has been dreaded by those not blessed with deafness for at least as long. The latter is produced on a device resembling five flutes that have grown a piss bladder. Formerly, the Scots painted themselves blue and ranged far and wide over the British Isles, but good fortune prevailed and they were conquered by their betters. What
passes for an alcoholic beverage in the dreary province to which the Scots have been driven has enjoyed a short vogue among fairies and advertising types, but this appears to be giving way to cocaine.
Good Points:
Attractive plaids.
Proper Forms of Address:
Scotty, Jock, legs, plaid ass.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Scots Character:
In recent years, the small Scottish Nationalist movement has become so desperate that it’s been kidnapping money and ransoming it for people.
SWEDISH
Racial Characteristics:
Tedious, clean-living boy scout types, strangers to graffiti and littering, but who are possessed of an odd suicidal mania. Speculation is that they’re slowly boring themselves to death. This is certainly the case if their cars and movies are any indication. They eat a lot of fish, and perhaps this is more brain food than their modest cranial endowments can cope with. In other points they resemble Canadians, though better looking. Not that that’s saying much. Maybe they’re
depressed because they have the silliest sounding language west of the Urals. Or maybe it’s that they have the ugliest famous actress of any civilized nation. No use asking them; what with their silly sounding language and ugly actresses, it’s almost impossible for them to get anything across to anyone. Swedes fuck a lot, but only in the missionary position.
An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the Swedish Character:
At a wedding party in Stockholm, the inebriated groom stumbles into a bedroom and finds his bride getting fucked by the best man. He laughs uproariously and calls all his friends over to the room. They tell him he’s drunk. “You think I’m drunk?” he yells. “Take a look at Sven! He’s so drunk, he thinks he’s me!”
SWISS
Racial Characteristics:
Mountain Jews in whose icy clutches lay the fruits of grave misdeeds committed in every clime. Under cover of their sanctimonious Red Cross organization, they have penetrated all the governments on the planet and, concealed by a flutter of blood drives and nurses’ caps, lie
sucking like leeches at the marrow of the gold, chocolate, clock, and army knife industries of nations beyond number. Pathologically clean, they sterilize their children at birth, which accounts for their low rate of population growth and leaves them more room to hide heaps and
piles of money in their tiny, Alp-ringed repository of snow-covered sin.
Good Points:
They rarely yodel in the home.
Proper Forms of Address:
Butter balls, cheese knees, big fat Swiss.
An Important Question Concerning Switzerland’s Economy:
What do you call a Swiss banker who likes Italian lire better than Deutsche marks?
Queer.
He isn’t the only public figure who’s been subjected to some remote analysis.
Witness this report from People magazine in 2008 about Britney Spears (emphasis mine):
During her 14-day hold, her doctor can discharge her to outpatient treatment if she is deemed well enough or apply to keep her longer — a move UCLA psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman (who is not treating Spears) would advise.
While Lindsay Lohan continues to party until the wee hours of the morning, and her family and friends grow increasingly concerned for her, Dr. Drew Pinsky, who is not treating Lohan, has some candid advice for the people closest to her.
Dr. Judy Kuriansky, a leading New York psychologist who has not treated Lisa Marie, said: “This is an absolutely dangerous and potentially deadly situation.
The reason each of those bolded disclosures were made: They have to be. And that’s because of yet another presidential candidate, half a century ago. Back in 1964, a whole bunch of psychiatrists decided they would like to psychoanalyze Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. The result was what’s known as the “Goldwater Rule.”
Well, that’s not technically what the rule is all about. In fact, it states:
On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.
The short version: It’s okay to talk about psychiatric issues — but not okay to diagnose people you haven’t treated.

In the era of Black Lives Matter, the stakes are high. Not to sound apocalyptic, but the time for debate and dialogue is surely over. In 2016, the problem is clear. The question is whether America will finally undo what divides black reality from everyone else’s. This time, what’s necessary is not only a change in law or language or police chiefs. We need life change, to undo a truth that’s been commonplace for so long we barely notice it, to dislodge what has been ingrained in us all — that black lives don’t matter.
The urgency for black people comes, in part, from increased expectations. We’ve had a black president, after all. That hardly means black people believe in post-racialism, or in President Obama’s own initial lofty expectations of change. Rather, Obama’s limitations over the last eight years have reawakened us to the fact that securing racial justice can never be left to black elected officials alone, even a president. Especially a president. So black folks’ expectations are probably right where they ought to be, and we’re not backing down from them. We shouldn’t. It’s time.
Black Lives Matter fundamentally seeks equity in the criminal justice system, an end to police brutality. And then the hashtag goes deeper. A manifesto released last week by a BLM coalition spells it out: inclusion and equal regard for black people in every aspect of life, at school, at work, in politics. In a word, reparations. It’s a big ask — to bring about justice well beyond the legal sense — but one commensurate with the times: Undoing racism is on a par with solving climate change.
Perhaps blacks should start thinking that black lives matter and stop killing each other.
It’s a great gig using your white brain to make a living as a professional black. Most of America’s most successful blacks, including all the heads of the NAACP I can remember, are light-skinned, including Barack Obama.
Generally speaking, the darker the black skin, the lower the IQ. Sub-Saharan blacks in Africa, for instance, have an average IQ around 70. Aborigines in Australia have an average IQ of 55.
Dark-skinned Blacks in the United States have lower socioeconomic status, more punitive relationships with the criminal justice system, diminished prestige, and less likelihood of holding elective office compared with their lighter counterparts. This phenomenon of “colorism” both occurs within the African American community and is expressed by outsiders, and most Blacks are aware of it. Nevertheless, Blacks’ perceptions of discrimination, belief that their fates are linked, or attachment to their race almost never vary by skin color. We identify this disparity between treatment and political attitudes as “the skin color paradox,” and use it as a window into the politics of race in the United States over the past half-century.
Using national surveys, we explain the skin color paradox as follows: Blacks’ commitment to racial identity overrides the potential for skin color discrimination to have political significance. That is, because most Blacks see the fight against racial hierarchy as requiring their primary allegiance, they do not see or do not choose to express concern about the internal hierarchy of skin tone. Thus dark-skinned Blacks’ widespread experience of harm has no political outlet— which generates the skin color paradox.
The “Light Skin Libra Birthday Bash,” which was to take place at Detroit’s Club APT, was the brainchild of a self described “dark-skinned” African-American Detroit DJ and party promoter. The party was intended to let “light-skinned” black women into a downtown club for free. In his defense, Ulysses “DJ Lish” Barnes, said that he had plans for “Sexy Chocolate” and “Sexy Caramel” parties too. The good news is that the parties have been canceled after much criticism and calls for boycotts and lawsuits.
There are no words for some of the ignorant (insert four letter word that starts with an s, rhymes with hit), that we do to ourselves. But let me give it a try.
The short version.
History has shown that black people with lighter skin were treated better. In the days of slavery, the dark-skinned blacks worked in the fields while light-skinned blacks worked in the house, hence the terms “field Negroes” and “house Negroes.” It got so bad, that not only did the slave owners, who were often responsible for the lighter shade of brown his slaves had, give lighter-skinned blacks more respect, but so did the dark-skinned blacks.
This evolved into generations of blacks both consciously and subconsciously teaching themselves that one is better than the other which eventually led to a billion dollar fake hair industry.
This was best illustrated in Spike Lee’s 1988 film “School Daze” in the scene played out in a beauty parlor between the “jiggaboos,” otherwise known as the darker-skinned blacks with nappy hair, and the “wannabe’s,” the lighter-skinned blacks with straight often times weaved hair.
But who could forget the film version of Alice Walker’s novel “The Color Purple,” in which Mister asked for Nettie who was “chocolate” colored with long hair but was given Celie, who was dark-skinned with nappy and short coarse hair instead. This was followed by a grown up Celie dealing with the harsh realities of beauty and Mista’s in-house mistress, Shug Avery.
Then you had black sororities and fraternities who used the “brown paper bag test” to deny entrance to anyone darker than the bag.
There continues to be black children who prefer to play with dolls that are white with blond hair and blue eyes. Some black children actually identify with these dolls over dolls of their own race, which could explain the 2003 case between two Georgia Applebee’s restaurant employees.
At the time, Dwight Burch, a dark-skinned waiter, was an Applebee’s restaurant employee. He filed a lawsuit against Applebee’s and his light-skinned African-American manager alleging that during his employment, the manager repeatedly referred to him as a “black monkey” and a “tar baby” and told Burch to bleach his skin. Burch claimed he was fired after he refused to do so. His case settled for $40,000.
But what about decades of rap music videos where the preferred “ho” is a lighter shade of brown? And the fact that only recently we’re seeing advertisements that highlight black women who chose to wear their hair in its natural state and are dark-skinned, even in our own magazines.
Remember actress Jennifer Beals’ famous, “I thought I would never get in. I thought they only took geniuses. But I was lucky, because I’m a minority. I’m not Black, and I’m not White, so I could mark ‘other’ on my application, and I guess it’s hard for them to fill that quota,” quote on how she got into Yale University.
Beals, whose father was black, seldom identifies with the black community despite being nominated for an NAACP Image Award. And then there was singer Prince, who despite having black parents, listed in his press bio at one time that he was Italian, among other things, when he made it in the business.
More recently there was the University of Georgia’s 2006 controversial study on skin tone which confirmed that light-skinned blacks are often more likely to be considered for jobs over dark-skinned blacks.

They let the family trial lawyer get first crack at the story, who called it a police murder.
My guess is that the public will find the victim not particular sympathetic and see the chaos of a crime in progress.
The cops, obviously, didn’t think about their body cams and were not censoring any thoughts. It’s pretty clear they thought they were shot at and assumed the victim was armed.
It’s a bad outcome — but anyone stealing a car and initiating a car chase with police which included hitting two cop cars — is engaged in some high risk behavior.
* High risk indeed. He nearly ran over one cop and then smashed head on into a cruiser. I don’t think there are enough police shootings.
* It is good to see these things without the narrative overlay telling you what to think about what you are seeing. When one sees raw video like this, it is surprising how anodyne these events are.
In this case, the sports car almost crushes an officer. He and his partner fire at it, ineffectively and perhaps recklessly. The sports car hits a police SUV and stops. The driver flees. There is a desultory chase. Off camera gunfire. Suspect apprehended. A lot of talking.
Maybe the police shouldn’t have shot at the car, but no one appears to have been hit, so whatever. Maybe something untoward happened off camera with the gunfire and apprehension, but it was off camera, so it’s unknown for now.
But then you look at the Narrative Imposers, who saw the exact same video:
Head of Chicago police oversight agency Sharon Fairley: “shocking and disturbing”
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson: “violated procedure”
Former prosecutor Michael Oppenheimer: “beyond horrific” “There is no question in my mind that criminal acts were committed” (Oppenheimer may be a former prosecutor, but he is also representing the O’Neal family in a civil suit. Some media are coy about that but not his being a former prosecutor.)
Oppenheimer benefits from an anti-police narrative, but Fairley and Johnson are supposed to be neutral.
And this leaves aside all the “activists” (typically unemployed ex-cons with a microphone) to whom the media give ample airplay who are uniformly anti-police.
Even in the highly inflammatory Philando Castile video from Minnesota, if you knew nothing about it and saw it without his girlfriend’s narrative overlay (and possible retconning), all you see is a shot man with a gun in his lap. The obvious conclusion would be that he had just lost a gunfight, which may be exactly what happened. His girlfriend’s narrative, which was enthusiastically amplified and elaborated by the media, makes the scene sound like the aftermath of cold blooded murder (in spite of the lap gun) to the point that many public speakers talked as if they had actually seen the shooting happen in the video, which of course no one did because the video starts afterwards.
* The two “black swan” events that can still sink Hillary are:
– Wikileaks release of her “deleted” private server emails.
– Major health problem revelation.
Otherwise, Trump has a long, uphill slog even if there are multiple terrorist attacks (Moslem and/or Negro.)
Not saying he can’t win, but right now he’s a 5-1 long shot. At best. What he needs is a very, very motivated following versus a very, very unmotivated bunch of Hillary supporters. Think Brexit. Young, pro-stay voters turned out 30%. Older, pro-leave voters turned out 80%.
In a way, the popular wisdom that Trump can’t win might be his best asset.
* There’s no real evidence that these things have helped Trump. If none of them had happened, do you suppose he’d be down 20 points or something in the polls right now?
* Trump is probably underpolling by 3-5% which seems to be the current range that right of center candidates or issues underpoll. This seems to be the current range. For example, Brexit. The last polls showed a close Remain win, only for reality to reflect a clear Leave mandate. In the UK they refer to it as the “Shy Tory” syndrome. Right of center, conservative voters/thinkers tend not to shout out their views to the world. The Left devotes considerable effort to making non-liberal views socially unacceptable. That’s Sarah Silverman’s entire department in the Democratic Party.
Trump is an extreme case. We are told daily from literally every media source that Trump is unacceptable. Few people who intend to vote for Trump are going to advertise this fact. So the polls probably understate his true position. But if he trails Hilary by more than 3 percentage points in November, he’s probably toast. Plus Obama’s get-out-the-vote machine destroyed Romney’s and Hilary will inherit that, so Trump has issues beyond bad poll numbers.
* Good thing no one watches The Simpsons anymore, eh? My family watched The Simpsons religiously for its first 12 years. In the last two or three of those years, we noticed that maybe one out of four programs was actually funny, and the proportion kept declining. Hearing occasionally that The Simpsons is still on TV gives me a mild surprise, like noticing that MAD magazine or Playboy are still being published.
Maybe so, but the main problem with getting out the vote for Romney was that by the time Election Day had arrived he had long since destroyed any energy around his campaign, first by dropping the immigration issue and then by his wimpy performance in the second and third debates.
* It’s different this time. Trump has smoked out the globalists and Lefties like crazy and shown the MSM to be totally corrupt and dishonest. Not to mention censoring issues on the economy, employment, trade and immigration.
Also the pain threshold among the blue collars and middle-class is pretty much off the charts now because of globalization and immigration.
It can’t be whitewashed by a bunch of Ivy Leaguers anymore. The shitstorm we’re facing is right out in front of us.
* It’s like a replay of the LBJ attack ad on Goldwater in which a little girl was picking the pedals off a daisy while a voice was counting down from 10 in a nuclear launch. The implication was that LBJ was the one to trust with the nukes. It does look like the dems are using this against Trump. On a few blogs I read the trolls are bringing this up a lot. They seem oblivious to the retorts that Hillary, not Trump, seems intent on baiting Russia.
* The idea of expanding NATO endlessly — not sure where that came from. It strikes me as a zombie idea … you can’t kill it. No one (other than Russia) wants to say no. And it gets muddled with the expansion of the Eurozone. But the idea of expanding Europe Eastward never goes away.
One requirement for NATO expansion is that the candidate country can’t have current border disputes. Sort of like an insurance company not underwrite a burning building.
So … There are breakaway territories in Georgia and Moldova. Which precludes their admission, which is exactly what Russia wants. And now Ukraine is ineligible. The reason it doesn’t/hasn’t happened more is that the border dispute qualification isn’t carved in stone, and there is always the chance that the ultra hawks will get their way and expand into a dispute. Someone always brings it up, so maybe it is considered best to not overuse the tactic.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe and it is hard to imagine anyone really wanting it. Furthermore, the breakaway area, Transdniester, is one of the least desirable parts of Moldova.
When you look at these places, it is obvious that they aren’t worth any serious investment of anything. Why bother? It is also possible that people might look at a map and see that they are in the middle of nowhere.
I also have a hunch that even the US is ok with it. At worst, it creates a minor problem that can then be put in the pile of stuff that will never get done. And at least some people in the US are smart enough to see it as a solution to the never ending expansion.
* It was the Bush Regime that first pushed NATO to the borders of Russia in 2004 with the addition of:
Bulgaria
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Romania
Slovakia
Slovenia
* Speaking of the Olympics, apparently they have a “Refugee Team” now. Is this supposed to guilt westerners into taking in more refugees? Can people get any crazier? WTF.
* This reminds me of the Chicoms who love to talk about the Opium Wars and the Rape of Nanking but not so much about the much more recent Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, which killed more Chinese than the foreign invaders ever did. Historical memory tends to be very selective – in the US it’s always 1954 and Rosa Parks is always being asked to move to the back of the bus.
Apparently the Chinese have been taking their loss to the Philippines in the international tribunal on the South China Sea issue out on the Americans (the Philippines is seen as an American proxy) and specifically they have been demonstrating against that bastion of American imperialism, KFC. The Chicoms normally suppress any whiff of dissent but hating on the Americans is seen as a safe outlet for popular discontent, just as Hillary would rather that you demonstrate against racist white cops than against Goldman Sachs.
* Stalin was a shrewd operator who knew his homeland well. The minority nations had little interest in a Russian empire, whether run by the tsar or the Bolsheviks. They had to be put down by force in the Civil War era, and again during WWII.
If you look at the boundaries of the old Soviet Republics you can see they were often designed to include a “poison pill”, another minority that would resist being placed under the governance of a larger neighbor. In turn that would give the Soviet authorities a basis to intervene and and an ally. S. Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabach, Transdnistra, etc are features not bugs.
Not that I think any of ‘em are worth a Texas National Guardsman’s bones.
* The US was not happy with the Russian territorial advances at the end of WWII but it was not willing to start another war over them. Then nuclear weapons made starting another war unthinkable. Then at the end of the Cold War , Russians finally retreated, much to the relief of all the occupied countries. Now Putin would like to come back. Should the people of the territories involved have any say in this this time? Is it wrong for them to turn to the US to prevent the Russian from giving them another “bear hug”?
Honestly, the US would have no interest in places like Lithuania except for the fact that the Russians keep trying to reestablish their “sphere of influence” in places where they are not welcome and will never be welcome.
* At heart, the elites are globalists rather than Europeans or Atlanticists. They could have proposed a free trade, passport-free travel zone comprised of, say, the eight European countries with the highest GDP per capita, and there would never have been a Brexit.
But they are compelled to bundle the good with the sh*t, because they want the proles to eat sh*t. It’s the same here. They could have had an immigration comprise years ago, with more tech visas in return for ending immigration of 4th grade dropouts from Chiapas and Jihadists from Somalia and Pakistan. But they want to rub your nose in the sh*t too.
* Trump should subtly remind everyone that the only world leader ever to resort to nuclear weapons was not in his party.

* One of the things that disturbs me most about the US is the cult of military worship that pervades the country. Trump didn’t pick some family out at random and attack them, he rightfully (but crudely) responded to a man who exploited his son’s death in order to shame him on behalf of the warmonger who helped kill him – and will help kill many more in her future wars. Apparently, if you have any connection to the military, you are above criticism, even if you invite it by unfairly attacking someone else first.
* Is Khan somehow immune from criticism when he makes himself a political actor? He appeared at a political convention to attack Trump from behind the body of his dead son. I found it to be insulting and offensive – for this little pakistani poppinjay to wag the Constitution at us – the fundamental law of my country, authored by my people. My people created this country. Not his. His people created Pakistan. He has no business lecturing me about my nation. Then there is this about Khan:
1.) He works, or has worked, as an agent of a foreign government (Saudi Arabia).
2.) He worked for a firm that represented Hillary Clinton.
3.) He is a proponent of Sharia Law – for him to lecture us on the US Constitution is an act of insolence and effrontery.
4.) His son is one of only 14 muslims killed in our recent wars (the first fifteen years of John McCain’s Hundred Years War). Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 American soldiers in one day at Fort Hood.
Hillary Clinton’s Bapu Bhat stand-in (“Donald Trump is a very bad man…..a very, very bad man!”) shouldn’t get a pass from anyone.
And where did this “Gold Star Family” stuff come from anyway? I never heard that term until last week. Like “The Homeland”, it seems to be one of these new security-state, permanent-war terms that arose in the wake of 9/11. Last time I checked, we don’t live in the “Starship Troopers” universe, where only military service guarantees citizenship. Having a relative who was killed in war doesn’t mean you get the privilege of never ever having any of your opinions questioned. This sure as Hell isn’t the country I was born in.
* Sharing your concern for Mr.Khan’s commitment to Sharia while lecturing about Constitutional guarantees of equal rights, I would add that the silence of Mrs. Khan is indeed significant.
Recognizing that the Gold Star memorial Service Flag was originally, and almost continuously thereafter, associated with and dedicated to “Gold Star Mothers,” what is sadly revealing about the whole incident is the failure of Mrs. Khan, the actual Gold Star Mother, to be the speaker. Perhaps Gold Star Family is the new multi-cultural diversity friendly identity for those whose religion does not allow an actual Gold Star Mother to speak or otherwise be recognized as an individual equal to a man.

* Bring more! Thousands more! Millions more! Bring the hyenas too. Diversity is our strength.
* WHO estimates that one in three Somalis either is or has been affected by mental illness, compared to a global average of one in 10. In parts of the country, where the population has been the most psychologically scarred from decades of conflict, the rate is even higher.
* Hyena care: “If you like your hyena you’ll be able to keep your hyena”
* Less toxic than fluoxetine. Hyenas: nature’s answer. Organic, free-range (though not cruelty-free). Pick one up today to pick up your spirits. Now available in children’s chewables. Badoom.
* To showcase her commitment to diversity, Hillary should be locked in a hut for one night with a hyena.
* Two hyenas enter.
One hyena leaves.
My money would be on Hillary.
* A lot of Somalis look like they have zika shaped foreheads. Look at the Somali actor in the Tom Hanks film Captain Phillips, I never see any African Americans with a forehead like his.
* Everyone in the Twin Cities knows that African immigrant women chop their daughters genitals off: police, schools, clinics, and hospitals, doctors, nurses, cops, teachers and administrators. It is a dirty little secret up there.
Sooner or later, an enterprising lawyer is going to file a class action suit against the hospitals, schools, cities and counties with hundreds of these girls as plaintiffs. The settlement is going to be huge.
And now, in 2016, we’re supposed to pretend these folks will fit right into a first-world country and not be a problem.
I’ve toyed with the idea of researching how the mass Irish immigration of the 1840s onwards in our nation–and later the late 19th Century Southern and Eastern European immigration—turned once-livable cities into heckholes of murder, violence, and corruption. It would sting to those of us (including myself) with roots in that immigration, but it would be necessary to show that those immigrants did not seamlessly integrate and become first-worlders, but remained and brought with them 2nd and third world problems.
Heck, the history of the Five Points alone is enough to chill one’s blood about the “greatness” of mass immigration from the 2nd and 3rd world–at least 70 years of filth:
Thee romanticization of the American Mafia—with its roots in Italian and Jewish street gangs, and stretching back to Irish-American street gangs (the Five Families can be traced to Irish street gangs whose territory they took over)—-should be turned on its head: the mass importation of those groups added a shnikey-load of murder and crime that has lasted to this day. Do we really want even more of that?
* That’s pretty much openly acknowledged by most serious historians, whorefinder. William J. Stuntz’s “The Collapse of American Criminal Justice” faithfully documents how 19th century mass immigration was responsible for one of the two largest crime waves in American history (the other was the result of the Great Migration). Or, better yet, read George Orwell, whose view was that mass immigration was openly used by America’s elites as a battering ram against the country’s original Republican values, turning the USA from a nation of mostly Protestant smallholders into a playground for industrial capitalists.
But it was a trade: America moved from the periphery of world affairs to become a global power. Mass immigration, at least in its early stages, was also a battering ram against the South in the Civil War, and I wouldn’t argue that the triumph of plantation values would have been markedly superior to the ascendancy of industrial capitalism. Nor, for that matter, would the triumph of Germany’s administrative state in the early 20th century (any version, really) have been an improvement over the one sadly erected by Woodrow Wilson and FDR. Moreover, without mass immigration from Europe the Great Migration might simply have been greater, with fewer African Americans concentrated in the South and just as much attendant crime and misery as they spread throughout the rest of the country. Blacks would have made up the majority of the proletariat, and, instead of enjoying working conditions closer to those afforded white immigrants, might have given racist owners an excuse to make life even worse for labour. America might have become a northern BrazilSo diversity did bring strength. The question, as always, is whose strength.
* “Somalia has 1,900 miles of coastline, a government that knows its place, and all the guns and wives you can afford to buy. Why have I never heard of this paradise before?”
— Pierce Hawthorne, Community
* It is wrong to treat Zakaria Bulhan with Western medicine. He needs to be treated in a culturally appropriate way. Zakaria needs and deserves the hyena treatment in order to drive out the evil spirits that are haunting him. Giving him the hyena treatment is the least we can do for him. Somali lives matter!
* Many of these Somalis are probably just feigning depression in order to get their shaman to write a scrip for a hyena.
* I remember a day after the Afghan axe attack in Germany, I was listening to BBC world news on NPR (it’s good for the humors– I’m too phlegmatic, need more yellow bile) and the announcer says something to the effect of “Afghan axe wielder was known to suffer from depression… are western nations doing enough for refugees’ mental health?”
I had a good laugh with my colleague when I got to my desk, but I guess it’s the next thing: Ritalin for refugees. Go long Pfizer, short the euro…
* And the parents locking their children in a room with a rabid hyena are thought to be the sane ones.
* “Ask your doctor if new Hyena ™ is right for you…”
* If a small dose of hyena does a little good, would a big dose of lion do even better?
* It doesn’t matter if Trump can’t find a way to turn the media’s apoplexy to his advantage.
In a circumstance where the media is going to twist your words or outright lie about what you say (Babygate), it seems like the way to deal with it is to make sure your comments are confined to issues, like the opponent’s corruption, that you want the public to keep thinking about. (For example, Russianhackgate was not so bad for Trump.)
Unfortunately, Trump lacks the intuition or discipline to do this. He makes unforced errors (Curielgate and Plagiarismgate) and takes the other side’s bait (Khangate).
The election is his to lose. All he has to do is make it a referendum on Bill and Hillary rather than a referendum on Trump, but he’s not doing it.
The only interest this article has is to let us know that the Democrats are going to naturalize all the illegals as fast as possible when Hillary wins. Great. Who’s going to stop her? Ryan? Ha!
* I’m old enough to remember when people took their mentally ill people to shamans wearing turtlenecks who promised to talk the insane out of being insane. After all, everyone knew that biology had nothing to do mental illness. It was childhood trauma that led to insanity. Heck, our schools still use shamans. They send them in to talk the kid out of being sad for the death of a classmate.
* I bet it works just as well. I might feel depressed, but maybe I should just shut up and become a productive member of society lest my family lock me in a room with an archaic carnivora beast again.
* People often adopt strange customs that are merely disguises for how they really want to behave if they could get away with it. For example, locking up an insane relative with a hyena is a way of trying to murder someone whose care is a heavy burden on you without bringing down the onus of the law on your head. And if the insane relative just ends up being mauled, it’s a socially acceptable way of letting out the family’s rage against what may be an annoying, obnoxious, and hyperaggressive family member with no control over himself without getting into trouble for beating up the victim themselves.
As for the ‘hyena’ who is hired in rape girls, in a culture which believes that women should be subservient to males, arranged rape is one way of achieving this. The result is a girl who becomes too scared and traumatized to stand up for herself, and she will become a dutiful child too downtrodden to resist an arranged marriage or any other future plans that her parents intent to impose on her against her will.
There’s a cold-blooded logic to all this.
* Who worked in the meat packing plants prior to the arrival of Somalis, Mexicans, Central Americans and Pacific Islanders?
What are they and their descendants working on today?
Slaughterhouse work used to be a rung-on-the-ladder job. A way to gain skills and then move on to more challenging – e.g., value added – work.
That rung and many like it, even the ladder itself, are disappearing fast.
What do you propose as its replacement?
Where is your comprehensive program for its construction and maintenance?
What steps have you taken to implement it?
* Actually, slaughterhouse work was a career more often than not for American workers when Americans did it. It paid a relatively high income for the crummy towns like Emporia, KS, where the slaughterhouses were located-maybe $10-13 an hour when McD’s paid $3.35 in the eighties-and though some younger workers did move on from there, usually that was where you stayed unless you moved out of town. Working in a slaughterhouse didn’t give you too many skills besides cutting up animals.
Occasionally people moved up from the line into supervisory jobs, where they would retire out from usually. But it was not an entry job for kids-there were more applicants than jobs and they usually tried to hire people with kids they had to support. And also, kids usually did not want to work in a slaughterhouse. Nobody particularly wanted to work in one, they did it because they had a family they needed to support.

"This guy knows all the gossip, the ins and outs, the lashon hara of the Orthodox world. He’s an [expert] in... all the inner workings of the Orthodox world." (Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff)
