Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* Paul Ryan announced today (or yesterday) that a Republican candidate must always renounce \u201cbigotry\u201d, no ifs and whens.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m waiting for a GOP\u2019er with balls to declare BLM a hate group.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m waiting for Black Lives Matters to declare Trump supporters a hate group. In the pages of National Review.<\/p>\n

* Super Tuesday, like most of the primary season, has largely turned on the issue of immigration. So far, only one major candidate has sounded constant and consistent on true reform (e.g. one that includes building a wall; securing the borders; a moratorium on Muslim immigration; etc).<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s NYT\u2019s article concerning the Gang of 8, Rubio, and how the donorist classes actively pursued FOX news\/conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh, Levin, etc. to help promote or \u201csell\u201d immigration\/amnesty to conservative rank and file grass roots members is quite informative. That the powers that be felt the need to manipulate the entire issue and frame the debate into a \u201cthe yokels out on the hinterland have to be cowed into accepting what\u2019s right for them\u201d<\/p>\n

I hope that Mr. Peter Brimelow of VDARE, a true honest patriot on the issue of immigration for well over twenty years will read this: Sir, as you\u2019ve written yourself before in past articles regarding the recalcitrance of some Conservatives not to support patriotic reform, well, now we know why. As you yourself made mention that when you talked to Rush about the issue of immigration, he basically couldn\u2019t be bothered. He couldn\u2019t be bothered to lend his voice and take a public stand vs. a policy (amnesty) that would have dire far reaching consequences for decades to come.<\/p>\n

Today we know why: Rush was AWOL and basically sold out the rank and file US voters who care deeply about the issue of immigration and the consequences that are coming. Rather than support a candidate who has made the immigration issue the centerpiece of his campaign, he chose to support Marco Rubio, handpicked by the Gang of 8 to publicly sell the ordinary GOP voters on the issue. When it came time to put principle above personal pride, Rush couldn\u2019t be bothered and went AWOL on the immigration. I hope, sir, that you will make mention of this in a future article on VDARE.com; Rush isn\u2019t on the right side of immigration and now we know why.<\/p>\n

As Steve likes to say, \u201cIf you can\u2019t trust Senator Schumer to save the GOP, who can you trust?\u201d Well, guess we can\u2019t trust so-called Conservative leaders who nothing more than shills for the donors and open borders lobbyists. It is sad but not entirely surprising that many of them now are backing away from their own words while still refusing to endorse the one candidate who has consistently sided with patriotic immigration reformers such as Peter Brimelow over at VDARE.com (among others).<\/p>\n

* I would love to see Trump campaign here in CA and put it in play though and freak out the Democrats. He could pull it off. The thing the bribery class and elites compose only small segment of our population and the only reason the state is Blue is because of the police, prison and state workers unions. Numerically they\u2019re small. Since Trump isn\u2019t running on a union bashing platform he\u2019d probably get a lot of their votes as well.<\/p>\n

And yeah it\u2019s also Blue because the CA GOP ran nothing but amnesty proponents which killed off voter interest, they also made sure their bench of candidates remained pathetic.<\/p>\n

* As I remember the deceitful attempts to get the Gang of Eight bill through the House, this happened about the same time that Rush\u2019s old contract was running out. He was supposedly negotiating a new one but I think he secretly had the plan all along to launch his EIB network and get a piece of the pie from everybody on the lineup.<\/p>\n

I used to listen to him in the morning on my way to work on a house I bought and on the way home listen to Hannity. I do not recall him ever making much noise about amnesty or the attempts by Sessions to detail all the hidden stink that was in the bill. I remember one of Sessions speeches on the Senate floor when he said \u201cIf an American were to do this he would be in prison!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rush never seemed to say much about it. My guess was that Rush was getting part of the advertising revenue from the EIB network and Zuckerberg\u2019s deceitful PAC was advertising heavily on it. They did the standard trick of giving you half the story (are you for strong border control\u2026) and never mention who they are or what they really stand for. Then they tell you to go to their web site or call their 800 number where you would be added to the list of people who support Zuckerberg\u2019s position, thinking you have voiced your disapproval of amnesty but actually have been counted as a supporter of the Gang of Eight. This of course would be leaked out by the House to the media, all the support the bill has, and rammed through in the middle of the night based on the phony numbers.<\/p>\n

* The only thing I remember about Rubio this week was his interest in Trump\u2019s penis. #trump<\/p>\n

* Overall Trump\u2019s been doing roughly as expected, at worst only slightly underperforming. The best news for him is that while the race is clearly Trump vs. anti-Trump, all of the anti-Trumps are doing well in some places and poorly in others. Kasich is only relevant in New England, but all other anti-Trumps are flopping. Cruz won Texas and Oklahoma but is a nonentity in Virginia, and Rubio looks like he could fall short of 20% and get shut out in some places. This outcome will likely not be good enough for Trump to wrap things up, but it\u2019s still good enough to show that no other candidate can outright beat him, and that could be enough for party regulars who may not like Trump but want to avoid a brokered convention to get on board.<\/p>\n

* Donald Trump, speaking extemporaneously at his press conference, sounds incredibly lucid and presidential. He even used the word \u2018bucolic,\u2019 correctly I might add. He\u2019s a very smart and perspicacious man.<\/p>\n

* Trump\u2019s Policy (the only one you care about, anyway) is actually long-term thinking at its finest. It\u2019s the Globalists who don\u2019t give a damn what happens to western civilization, or the people who should inherit it. \u201cAnti-racist\u201d whites are morons too stupid to think about the future in any substantive way. If they weren\u2019t, they\u2019d know they are making a losing bet (as things are going now: if anti-whites are right, we gain nothing, if they\u2019re wrong we lose everything; if \u201cracists\u201d are right we lose everything, if they\u2019re wrong we lose nothing).<\/p>\n

* Trump during his press conference compared Rubio to a version of a no-talent Don Rickles. Trump has a talent for labeling events or opponents in a way which is very descriptive.<\/p>\n

I like how Trump brings up the point about whether Clinton \u201cwill be allowed to run\u201d due to her crimes and how people who committed lesser crimes than hers are serving long prison sentences. This stands out because no one else is talking about it, so his statements pack more of a punch.<\/p>\n

* So Trump just gave a press conference rather than a victory speech and it was great. In my lifetime no one has sounded that presidential besides Pat Buchanan in 92. Trump is more Buchanan than Pat Buchanan. Could that be true?<\/p>\n

* As he\u2019s been saying, \u201cI can act Presidentially.\u201d Yes, he can. It was a press conference in FlA, not a rally celebrating his Super Tuesday totals. There was a line of American flags behind him\u2026and Chris Christie, standing as VPs usually do.<\/p>\n

He took many questions. Yes, this was the beginning of his, \u201cI can talk policy and I can unify the party (with REAL people I represent) and I can now begin running for real against Hillary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
