WP: What Donald Trump doesn’t seem to understand about the KKK

Max Ehrenfreund writes for the Washington Post: “Trump has repeatedly said he disavows Duke and the Klan. The problem is, that is the only thing Trump has said. He hasn’t explained why the Klan’s white nationalism was wrong, and his disavowals are starting to sound somewhat perfunctory.”

What is wrong with white nationalism? What about Jewish nationalism? Black nationalism? Japanese nationalism? Why is only white nationalism wrong?

Does Max Ehrenfreund have a dog in this race? Jews traditionally fear gentile nationalisms (which usually exclude Jews), but white nationalism most of all (because it evokes Nazis and the Holocaust).

“New polling data from the American National Election Studies suggests a few reasons that Duke might see sympathy for his cause among Trump’s supporters. Some of them appear to be worried about their status and identity as white Americans, a concern that has allowed him to build a broad electoral coalition that crosses the usual demographic and ideological boundaries within the Republican Party.”

My God, that is horrible? Not exactly sure why, but I am sure I will be told that this is horrible. Unlike all other peoples, whites are not allowed to have group interests. They are supposed to be thrilled to turn over their ancestral homelands to other peoples. Israel is not expected to be thrilled to turn over its country to non-Jews. Why should white Protestants feel differently about the nations they created (US, Canada, Australia, England, New Zealand, Holland, etc).

Max concludes:

Trump has created a new kind of Republican primary coalition. Many of those who support him are white voters who are uncomfortable with the way America is changing demographically, and they believe that the status of people who look like them in society is in decline.

In the past, analysts have typically divided Republican primary voters into several groups: evangelical, moderate, secular and conservative, moderately conservative, and so on. In Trump’s coalition, these divisions are secondary. For certain GOP voters, racial consciousness is more fundamental than their other commitments.

As Trump’s success has shown, the faction that votes based on white racial identity — while not a majority of the party — can be the dominant one when there are several candidates competing for the nomination.

Howard Kurtz: Media warnings against Donald Trump shift from aggressive to apocalyptic

Howard Kurtz writes for Fox News:

For all the talk of the Republican establishment trying to stop Donald Trump, it’s the media establishment that is cranking up the volume to deafening levels.

What’s remarkable about this sustained assault is that it comes with equal force from the right and the left, united in their passion to stop the man who is winning the most Republican primary votes.

I’m offering excerpts here to highlight how these pundits are depicting Trump as not just a bad candidate but a threat to civilization.

Slate Editor-in-Chief Jacob Weisberg says that Trump, “as a reality TV star and cyberbully on his third wife…is himself a good illustration of the breakdown of any moral order possibly remaining.” He says “Trump represents what autocratic attitudes look like in a modern American context. He is unfriendly toward the free market, the free press, and the free exercise of religion while paying lip service to these values. He is xenophobic, conspiratorial in his worldview, admiring of violence and torture, contemptuous of the weak, and unwilling to tolerate criticism or peaceful dissent—but all in the name of correcting excesses of tolerance.”

The Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus says that since she last wrote about him, “Trump has proved himself to be even less knowledgeable and even more unhinged. His election would constitute a grave threat to American values and, potentially, American democracy…

“Trump is Nixon with all of the megalomaniacal willingness to abuse power and none of the crafty realpolitik.”

David Remnick, editor of the New Yorker, poses this question: “How has Donald Trump, the coddled scion of a New York real-estate baron, emerged as a populist hero? How does the beneficiary of a draft deferment due to bone spurs on his feet get away with questioning the military record of John McCain, who endured five years as a prisoner of war? Trump believes that his appeal is based largely on what he calls his heroic lack of ‘political correctness’ but which is more accurately described as a breezy penchant for race-baiting, war crimes, and content-free policy pronouncements. 

Salon says that after watching Trump “spewing hate, stoking xenophobia and attacking the Washington establishment – this thought keeps coming to mind: Is Donald Trump just David Duke in a better suit?”

New York Times columnist David Brooks writes that “now finally — at long last — major Republicans are raising their heads and highlighting Trump’s actual vulnerability: his inability to think for an extended time about anybody but himself.

“He seduces people with his confidence and his promises. People invest time, love and money in him. But in the end he cares only about himself. He betrays those who trust him and leaves them high and dry.”

National Review’s Ian Tuttle challenges his credibility: “Trump believes in nothing except the force of his own personality. Often, it’s not quite correct to say he’s lying, because he never believed anything in the first place. Donald Trump is post-truth.”

Another Times, columnist, Nick Kristof, views Trump as a bad dream: “Is there any scarier nightmare than President Donald J. Trump in a tense international crisis, indignant and impatient, with his sweaty finger on the nuclear trigger?” He adds: “I’ve never met a national politician so ill informed, so evasive, so bombastic and, frankly, so puerile.”

And it’s not just the print people. CNN commentator Sally Kohn said the other day that the media are giving Trump too much attention, and “when he institutes internment camps and suspends habeas [corpus], we’ll all look back and feel pretty bad.”

NYT: An Anti-Semitism of the Left

Tweet: “When Jews get bitten by the vile monsters they pet and feed, sympathy can be strained.”

In normal leftist thought, ethnic and religious differences are accorded no importance. It is therefore normal, natural and healthy for self-respecting consistent leftists to be opposed to ethno-states such as Israel. A Jewish leftist who is fine with a Jewish Israel is more Jewish than leftist. A Jewish leftist who is not OK with Israel as a Jewish state is more leftist than Jewish. There’s nothing more diabolical than that going. What we have here is a clash of values. You can call that clash of values all sorts of nasty names like “anti-Semitism” or “bigotry” but we are dealing here with fundamental worldviews and clashes of interest.

If Israel is the Jewish state, then Jews all around the world will suffer or benefit according to the actions of Israel. If Israel is the Jewish state, then Jews are more likely to become targets of those who hate that Jewish state than if Israel was not the Jewish state.

Roger Cohen writes: LONDON — Last month, a co-chairman of the Oxford University Labour Club, Alex Chalmers, quit in protest at what he described as rampant anti-Semitism among members. A “large proportion” of the club “and the student left in Oxford more generally have some kind of problem with Jews,” he said in a statement.

Chalmers referred to members of the executive committee “throwing around the term ‘Zio’” — an insult used by the Ku Klux Klan; high-level expressions of “solidarity with Hamas” and explicit defense of “their tactics of indiscriminately murdering civilians”; and the dismissal of any concern about anti-Semitism as “just the Zionists crying wolf.”

Oberlin Leaders Denounce Professor’s Remarks as ‘Anti-Semitic’MARCH 7, 2016
The zeitgeist on campuses these days, on both sides of the Atlantic, is one of identity and liberation politics. Jews, of course, are a minority, but through a fashionable cultural prism they are seen as the minority that isn’t — that is to say white, privileged and identified with an “imperialist-colonialist” state, Israel. They are the anti-victims in a prevalent culture of victimhood; Jews, it seems, are the sole historical victim whose claim is dubious.

A recent Oberlin alumna, Isabel Storch Sherrell, wrote in a Facebook post of the students she’d heard dismissing the Holocaust as mere “white on white crime.” As reported by David Bernstein in The Washington Post, she wrote of Jewish students, “Our struggle does not intersect with other forms of racism.”

Noa Lessof-Gendler, a student at Cambridge University, complained last month in Varsity, a campus newspaper, that anti-Semitism was felt “in the word ‘Zio’” flung around in left-wing groups.” She wrote, “I’m Jewish, but that doesn’t mean I have Palestinian blood on my hands,” or should feel nervous “about conversations in Hall when an Israeli speaker visits.”

The rise of the leftist Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of Britain’s opposition Labour Party appears to have empowered a far left for whom support of the Palestinians is uncritical and for whom, in the words of Alan Johnson, a British political theorist, “that which the demonological Jew once was, demonological Israel now is.”

Corbyn is no anti-Semite. But he has called Hamas and Hezbollah agents of “long-term peace and social justice and political justice in the whole region,” and once invited to Parliament a Palestinian Islamist, Raed Salah, who has suggested Jews were absent from the World Trade Center on 9/11. Corbyn called him an “honored citizen.” The “Corbynistas” on British campuses extol their fight against the “racist colonization of Palestine,” as one Oxford student, James Elliott, put it. Elliott was narrowly defeated last month in a bid to become youth representative on Labour’s national executive committee.

WP: How Israel’s Jewishness is overtaking its democracy

Western notions of democracy, or, frankly, any notions of democracy, are not important parts of Judaism.

Democracy is not that important. Wouldn’t you rather have a dictator who was on your side?

I don’t expect any group to care about outsiders. It doesn’t bother me that many Jews chant, “Death to the Arabs” and that many Arabs and Muslims chant, “Death to the Jews.” Different groups have different interests that often conflict. Life is a conflict for scarce resources such as land and water.

Washington Post: When U.S. leaders and commentators warn that the absence of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will make it impossible for Israel to be both a Jewish and democratic state, they generally mean that a Jewish democracy requires a Jewish majority; if Israel encompasses the West Bank and Gaza, Arabs will become a majority. What they may not have realized is that, in the meantime, half of Israeli Jews have come to seek not only a Jewish majority but even Jewish exclusivity…

This major study was conducted from October 14, 2014, to May 21, 2015, among 5,601 Israeli adults ages 18 and older. (Disclosure: I served as an adviser to the project). It found that 48 percent of all Israeli Jews agree with the statement “Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel,” while 46 percent disagreed. Even more troubling, the majority of every non-secular Jewish group, including 71 percent of Datim (modern orthodox Jews) agreed with the statement.

…This view has consequences for citizen rights. Not surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of all Jewish Israelis (98 percent) feel that Jews around the world have a birthright to make aliya (immigration to Israel with automatic Israeli citizenship). But what is striking is that 79 percent of all Jews, including 69 percent of Hilonim (secular Jews) say that Jews deserve “preferential treatment” in Israel — so much for the notion of democracy with full equal rights for all citizens.

These attitudes spell trouble for Arab citizens of Israel who constitute 20 percent of Israel’s citizens. It’s true that attitudes are dynamic; they are partly a function of Jewish-Arab relations within Israel itself, but also outside, especially within the broader Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Like their Jewish counterparts, Arab citizens of Israel (mostly Muslim, but also including Christians and Druze), identify themselves with their ethnicity (Palestinian or Arab) or religion above their Israeli citizenship. And these ethnic/religious identities intensify when conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza intensifies. There is no way to fully divorce the broader Palestinian-Israeli conflict from Arab-Jewish relations within Israel.

In recent years, this latter linkage has become central for two reasons: loss of hope for a two-state solution, and the rise of social media that has displayed extremist attitudes that used to be limited to private space. In the era of Facebook and Twitter, Arab and Jewish citizens post attitudes that deeply offend the other: An Arab expresses joy at death of Israeli soldiers killed by Palestinians, while a Jew posts a sign reading “death to Arabs.” Hardly the stuff of co-existence. Leave it to opportunist politicians, extremists and incitement to do the rest.

First, there is something wrong with positing the possibility of Arabs as constituting a demographic problem for Israel. It legitimizes the privileging of Jewishness over democracy. It also distorts the reason why Israel is obligated to end occupation of the West Bank and Gaza; it has nothing to do with the character of Israel as such, but with international law and United Nations resolutions.

Second, while states can define themselves as they wish (and are accepted by the international community accordingly), the American embrace of the “Jewishness” of Israel, cannot be decoupled from the Palestinian-Israeli context, or from the overarching American demand that all states must be for all their citizens equally.

In part, this is based on the notion that the UN General Assembly (Resolution 181) recommended in 1947 dividing mandatory Palestine into an “Arab” and a “Jewish” State. In part, it’s based on the notion that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a political conflict that can be resolved through two states, one manifesting the self-determination of Jews as a people, and one manifesting the right of self-determination of Palestinians as a people. The two were bound together. An embrace of a Jewish state that excludes a Palestinian state defeats the principle.

If two states become impossible, America chooses democracy over Jewishness. In fact, this has been consistently reflected in American public attitudes across the political spectrum, most recently in this November 2015 poll; in the absence of a two-state solution, 72 percent of Americans would want a democratic Israel, even if it meant that Israel ceases to be a Jewish state with a Jewish majority.

The Victimhood Addiction

Somebody, through carelessness, let me down in a minor way last week and I immediately got a high from the feeling of victimhood, that people will always screw me over, poor ol me, people just trample all over me… It’s scary how powerful and intoxicating that victimhood emotion was for me. It’s shaped my life. I paused for a couple of minutes and allowed the person to rectify his mistake and I ended up without any victimization, but with a great deal of humility by realizing how much I enjoyed feeling victimized and hopeless. It’s an addiction. I started thinking back across my life how often I’ve climbed up on the cross to suffer for the sins of the world. When somebody does me wrong, I get the victimhood rush, and I am terribly reluctant to lose it, even if it means immense suffering and inconvenience. Throughout my life, I have often not allowed people to make up to me the inadvertent ways they’ve let me down. I’ve been too proud and too sure of my victimhood. It’s hard to let go of these childhood patterns.

I guess in early childhood, I got a sense of power from taking on the victim role. It was a way I could get back at those who were more powerful than me.

Kevin Roderick: How female TV journalists protect their safety after Erin Andrews

The world is often an unsafe place for women, particularly when they are around groups that commit a disproportionate amount of crime (such as young black men, et al). The world is often an unsafe place for men as well only men rarely feel comfortable expressing that. Because women feel more comfortable sharing their feelings, they complain more than men. A man who complained about feeling unsafe would usually be looked at as a wimp.

Also, most TV journalists, particularly female journalists, owe their careers largely to their looks. When you’re attractive, you receive more attention. If you don’t like that, would you rather be ugly? Pack on 50 pounds and you’ll get a lot less attention.

Erin Andrews would not have the career she enjoys today if she was not gorgeous. If she were plain, she’d be lucky to be working in journalism at all. If, God forbid, she had some disfiguring accident that made looking at her a gruesome experience, she would no longer be on TV. Perhaps she could write books instead?

I know that journalists are sometimes assaulted for things they write or for just being journalists, just as people who are written about by journalists are often assaulted as a result. I have no doubt that the fevered intensity around Donald Trump will result in people getting hurt, and perhaps some of them will be journalists.

Every articulate person can tell a chilling story about how he has suffered. Even these horrible stalkers could tell you chilling stories about how they’ve been abused and teased and treated like dirt (often by beautiful women).

We hear more about how women suffer because they are more likely to share their feelings and we hear more about how journalists suffer because they have the megaphone. Journalists are not immune from bad luck, from criminal activity, and from the consequences of their choices.

If journalists don’t like the heat, they can get out of the fire. If they gain weight and dress dowdy, they will get less attention from men. If they become paralegals instead of TV journalists, they’ll be less likely to have stalkers.

Cry me a river about the suffering of TV journalists. Erin Andrews was awarded $55 million in this case.

How do working class white people protect their safety as America becomes increasingly anti-white? Unfortunately, most of these people are not terribly articulate and nobody seems to care about their safety, except perhaps Donald J. Trump.

Kevin Roderick writes:

With Los Angeles-area TV sports reporter Erin Andrews still engaged in her Nashville lawsuit against the Marriott hotel there over the 2007 nude video of her inside her room, Sports Illustrated spoke with several other women who cover sports for TV about life for them on the road. It’s depressing. All said they take some pretty careful steps to protect themselves from stalkers, creeps and invasions of their privacy at hotels. Keeping the name of their hotels off social media is one thing; some of these women ask for a new room if the desk clerk happens to say their room number out loud, or they cover peepholes with Band-aids and keep the blinds closed, and most don’t let in maids or other hotel staffers if they can help it. One of the women says she tries not to be unclothed when in the room, just to be safe…

Here in the Los Angeles area, harassment of TV reporters on location, especially women, seems to be on the rise. As well as at venues where Donald Trump is speaking and his supporters are gathered, but that’s a separate story. I could see the issue of reporter safety at those pointless 11 p.m. stand-up shots becoming a bigger issue for the stations.

The Unbearable Whiteness Of Bernie Sanders’ Support

Steve Sailer posts Sunday: Bernie Sanders won another state today, his 8th in 19 contests.

Of course, Maine is the only state that is, arguably, whiter than Bernie’s own electoral fortress of whititude, Vermont. Across the first 19 states to vote or caucus, the correlation between Bernie’s share of the 2 candidate vote versus Hillary and the percentage of the state’s population that was black in 2014 is a remarkable r = -0.87.

Here’s a question: Can Bernie and his supporters even claim a moral victory? If Bernie loses because he got his ass kicked by black voters doesn’t that automatically make him not the moral winner but the immoral loser? By definition, blacks represent morality. Hence, because blacks hate him, Bernie deserves to lose.

Comments:

* BernieLand is Portlandia writ large. Could Portland exist if it had the demographics of Birmingham? The liberals in Portland think so but I’m pretty sure that even the few remaining liberals in Birmingham probably see the folly of that vision.

* “Fundamentally, Bernie’s campaign does not seem to understand how the liberalism of black democrats differs from that of their white counterparts. Specifically, culture-war issues play a much smaller role, because that is one place where black and white Democrats do not align perfectly.”

“The reality is that “black liberalism” has historically existed hand-in-hand with religious belief, whereas “white liberalism” often exists in opposition to it.”

“Black Americans perceive – with justification – that their (our) economic standing is getting better, and therefore are more willing to stay-the-course. Bernie’s pitch misses the mark because he wants to overthrow a system that is finally starting to work, in order to help us reclaim something we never had.”

* I’d feel bad for Bernie but he is a coward who lacks basic assertiveness (see: Seattle BLM) and the courage of his convictions (see: his unbelievably cucked campaign stances on race and immigration). Part of me enjoys watching sociopath Hillary tear him to shreds.

* Perhaps my imagination is just being overactive, but if it were southern whites instead of southern blacks refusing to vote for a Jewish candidate for president, wouldn’t there have been a bunch of articles about anti-Semitism rearing its ugly head in Dixie?

* Ed Rollins regularly claimed he could buy the black vote. So what you are seeing is the astonishingly well funded Clinton campaign doing what Rollins claimed he could do, basically buy votes. As whites get poorer expect to see the same. I have to wonder what Bush spent $1200 a vote on in New Hampshire. If you are wondering why vote buying works with blacks not white, maybe black voters have more integrity.

* Hillary cannot win an election where white voters are a majority. She absolutely requires the black, “Hispanic”, and Asian vote shares of Barack Obama. But she does not attract the enthusiasm that came to Obama naturally (cf. the epic fail of Martha Coakley in the 2010 MA Senate election – the bruthas just won’t turn out for the icy white b*tch).

Therefore, Hillary! and her team will need to drive the minority vote in a way that Team Obama did not have to do. This means #BLM and all the other racial signaling they can come up with.

BUT

As the first explicitly anti-white Presidential candidate in history, running against a candidate promoting white interests in a more or less open way, she may well drive the GOP (or Trump Party) white vote share to 65% or more, finally validating the Sailer Strategy.

Will Steve Sailer be the new Karl Rove?

Jewish Establishment Increasingly Unhinged By Donald Trump

I don’t think the primary reason is because they fear for Israel or for Jewish safety. I think their primary fear is a loss of power and prestige under President Trump. This is largely about ego and status.

Much of what the American Jewish establishment (organizations like the ADL, SWC, AIPAC, and SPLC) supports (multiculturalism, more immigration, war overseas) is bad for America.

From Times of Israel:

Ex-ADL chief: Trump’s ‘raise your hand’ gambit was deliberate, Nazi-style ‘fascist gesture’

Abe Foxman calls episode ‘about as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America’; says Republican candidate knew exactly what he was doing.

WASHINGTON — Former Anti-Defamation League director Abe Foxman excoriated Donald Trump for urging his supporters at a weekend rally to raise their right hands and promise to support him, a gambit Foxman said evoked echoes of Hitler salutes from Nazi rallies in the 1930s and ’40s.

“Let’s do a pledge. Who likes me in this room?” the Republican presidential candidate asked a large crowd Saturday in Orlando, Florida. “Raise your right hand: ‘I do solemnly swear that I — no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there’s hurricanes or whatever — will vote, on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president.’” (Trump misstated the date of the Florida primary, which will be held on March 15.)

As the audience enthusiastically complied with his request, the candidate told them: “Don’t forget you all raised your hands. You swore. Bad things happen if you don’t live up to what you just did.”

For Foxman, who was born in Poland in 1940 and was saved from the Nazis by his Catholic nanny, watching Trump whip up his supporters in this fashion was extremely disturbing.

“As a Jew who survived the Holocaust, to see an audience of thousands of people raising their hands in what looks like the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute is about as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America,” he told The Times of Israel.

“We’ve seen this sort of thing at rallies of neo-Nazis. We’ve seen it at rallies of white supremacists. But to see it at a rally for a legitimate candidate for the presidency of the United States is outrageous.”

Beyond his horror at seeing a hand-raising tactic similar to that adopted by the Nazi Party to signal obedience to their leader, Foxman said what made the Trump episode more egregious is his conviction that the Republican frontrunner was well aware of the resonance.

“It is a fascist gesture,” Foxman said. “He is smart enough — he always tells us how smart he is — to know the images that this evokes. Instead of asking his audience to pledge allegiance to the United States of America, which in itself would be a little bizarre, he’s asking them to swear allegiance to him.”

Furthermore, Foxman added, “He even threatens that if they don’t, they will suffer and be punished. This is so over the top for a man who really doesn’t come out of the underground. He is a man of the world. Even though he proclaims he doesn’t know who David Duke was, or the other white supremacists, we know very well that he knows. So he’s playing to an image.”

Last week, Trump refused to immediately reject the endorsement of Duke, a white supremacist and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. When asked by Jake Tapper on CNN, Trump claimed ignorance of Duke’s support or that of other white supremacists backing his bid for the White House. After a storm of controversy erupted over his response, Trump tweeted his disavowal of Duke later that day.

‘This is the summit of his own intoxication with what he perceives as his leadership quality’

Saturday’s incident, according to Foxman, marked the low point of a series of campaign controversies through which Trump has not merely managed to survive as a candidate, but to benefit. “I think he was intoxicated with all the things that he’s already got away with, and it led him to this,” said Foxman, who spent his adult life fighting bigotry, including a three-decade stint as national director of the ADL. “This is the summit of his own intoxication with what he perceives as his leadership quality.”

While Trump’s behavior during this election season has been the source of much consternation for Foxman, he finds it even more troubling that the billionaire businessman evidently appeals to such a large segment of the American public.

“When he said, ‘I can walk down the street on Fifth Avenue and kill somebody and my supporters will not desert me,’ he knows exactly what buttons he’s pushing. Or when that guy interrupted his speech. People in that situation may think internally, ‘Oh, I want to punch him in the mouth.’ But you don’t say it, you don’t say it, because it’s not civilized. But he said it and it was applauded,” Foxman lamented.

Hillary’s Depressed Turnout

Steve Sailer writes about Super Tuesday: Hillary had a good day piling up delegates, but she didn’t generate much excitement among Democrats in the states where she cruised to victory by getting her core loyalists to dutifully turn out.

The early word is that Hill and Bill, realizing they don’t have much to say for themselves, are planning to run a negative, ugly campaign against Donald Trump, with lots of charges of sexism and racism.

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* 20% of backs have above average IQ’s and they have been pummeled by the loss of manufacturing jobs at least as badly as whites. At the moment, they all vote Democrat, but could enough of them go over to Trump to swing the election?

In Britain, blacks are recent arrivals and will never vote anything other than Labour. US blacks are, like it or not, old stock Americans.

In NZ, Polynesians will always vote Labour, because they think Labour gives them more free stuff, but the decline of manufacturing has knocked Maoridom for six.

In reality National (the NZ equivalent of the GOP) has been at least as willing to throw money at them as they are tangata whenua (people of the land).

If an indigenous Brit called himself indigenous, unemployment would be instantaneous.

* True, that Hillary doesn’t excite much of anyone on the democrat side, but Trump does inflame many of all political persuasions. Thus, while D turnout in the primaries is low, that doesn’t translate to a low General Election turnout for the democrat nominee. Hate/fear incites action as much as love, maybe more, I maintain.

Assuming Trump survives the coming GOPe onslaught and evil convention and post-convention machinations, etc,. his ability to win the General against Hillary will rest with his ability to sound like the logical, smart guy he actually is behind the scenes. That might not move a fair number of dems to go to the polls and vote for him, but it WILL make them stay home.

* #1 — Cheap Labor
The Democrat and establishment Republican line is that our labor market should be open to the world–that you deserve nothing as an American. Do you really want to be competing for your job with anyone who shows up at the border, from millions of Indians and Chinese. What sort of lifestyle does Hillary have in mind for you working at Indian or Chinese wages? No matter what color you are … this is a shitty deal.

#2 — Why we can’t have nice things — Diversity Creates Conflict
Trump needs to nail precisely the ideas behind Steve’s “why we can’t have nice things”. The Sanders SWPLs want to live in (70s era) Scandinavia … but you can only do that when you have a coherent, competent, high-achieving, high-trust society. We don’t have that now–never did to the same level as Scandinavia–and Hillary’s diversity program makes it worse and worse and worse.

Diversity creates conflict. Tiny diversity may add spice–ethnic restaurants! But big scale diversity means differences–in behavior, in achievement, in success–and creates friction and conflict.
The examples write themselves:
– diversity and conflict around the world
– BLM — increased crime; black men need to obey the same rules as white men; there isn’t some sort of “you get to assault a cop” rule for black thugs; if they don’t want to, then separate communities–same community and different standards creates conflict
– muslims
“blood borders of Islam”–everywhere they are mixed with anyone else –> conflict and violence
America has a particular culture–sort of Anglo\Christian. Muslims never had any presence here and that’s been to America’s great *benefit* … why import divisiveness and conflict; to me as a businessman that’s just insanity, you don’t set out to make your problems worse

#3 Gender gap — Male bashing and “marriage vs. spinsterhood”
To win Trump will need to at least somewhat neutralize Hillary’s “girl power” nonsense.

First off, take a strong stand against the Democrat’s male bashing. Strong, productive men actually hold this joint together.
A good line for Trump, is he has plenty of women in the Trump organization, doing business stuff, but his buldings are put up by guys–steel, concrete, piping, heating, AC, plumbing, hanging drywall, etc. etc. Out in the world: drilling for oil, designing engines, airplances, running power plants keeping your lights on, refineries gas for your car, fixing your car, building houses, installing your furnance and keeping natural gas in the pipe to keep it going. Hillary’s spent her life doing absolutely nothing productive so she probably doesn’t realize it–doesn’t *want* to realize it and thinks it all “just happens”. It doesn’t. It’s guys out there making our modern American lifestyle possible.

Secondly take on *real* gap–single vs. married.
Say explicitly there’s less a “gender gap” than a married gap. Democrats do well with single women who don’t have husbands and want the government to take care of them–by collecting money from all the guys out there that haven’t married them. Married women are much more Republican they look at their husbands paycheck and think “that’s mine”–that’s for *our* family, our children. They don’t want to hand it over to Hillary to spend.

Trump should face the camera “I want to speak to young women out there who think Hillary’s laundry list of things she’ll do for you sounds good. Money doesn’t grow on trees. Men and women work for it. No one is entitled to be supported by someone else’s labor, someone else’s savings. Hillary promises to go out and loot men to give you stuff. I suggest that if you want some guy’s money–you marry him. That’s a fair deal. Find a good man with prospects, marry him, build a family together taking care of yourselves. And that will be easier to do when i’m president and America isn’t flooded with cheap foreign labor. But that’s really your choice. If you want a government supported spinsterhood–vote for Hillary. If you want to have a husband, children, a *family*, then vote for me.”

If Trump wants to win, he’s going to have to tackle these iSteve themes *head on*. Telling me Hillary is ugly or a bitch …useless. Every guy with two in the sack knows she’s the screechy “progressive” version of the controlling tell-everyone-what-to-do church lady from hell. Trump needs to say what needs to be said. Say it clearly and ram it home again and again and again.

* Trump has already signaled what he will do against “sexism” etc. Highlight Bill Clinton’s rape charges and compare him directly to Bill Cosby. Hillary had said that line for a while, Trump brought up her Husband’s actions, and she shut up. I’m sure she will go at it again, but Trump is not Romney — the weak loser who wants to lose and roll over and show his tummy.

Trump has ample ammo — Bill Clinton and credible rape charges, that Hillary and Bill were happy to take his money before, Hillary’s email server, the Clinton Foundation corruption machine, etc.

I would have expected that Obama would have quashed the email investigation long ago, my guess is that he will have Hillary! indicted right before the convention, and Sanders figures this too so he’s staying hoping to make a deal with Kingmaker Obama. My second guess is that Obama already has someone in mind and its not an aging Jewish guy who gets on his nerves for existing — but someone Black and easily controlled.

Re Trump, Christie is not a dummy, he’s already on board, and I expect a fight between those elected Republicans who are not part of the Washington axis — and the Romney types. Trump has shown ambition can be served not by foam party antics and donor pandering but by base satisfaction, and there is a whole slew of elected Republicans who would like to advance just by the means Trump has. My guess is that a rump of Republicans form a new party, but end up taking enough Bernie Bros unhappy with say Al Sharpton or Kamala Harris or Spike Lee as the nominee.

Dems really are the Black Party, Republicans are now the White party, and White women are the only wild cards. White women have big issues with White men — they don’t need or want beta male provision and beta male placating and such enrage them. Moreover White women are allied with Blacks in all sorts of ways — principally to jettison White men save the Alphas and take over spoils in AA raiding parties. Europe’s immavasion suggests we are near the end of that free ride however. A society cannot run on White female disgust at the lack of sexy dominance of beta White males. Which is what Hillary’s entire career really has been, if you think about it.

Two Jewish Teachers Make Up Claims That They Were Attacked By ISIS

Daily Mail: Jewish teacher who claimed he was attacked by ISIS jihadists is arrested by French police who allege he LIED about the assault

Tzion Saadon, 45, claimed he was attacked by ISIS jihadists in November
He said he had been beaten up by three men claiming to represent ISIS
But police today said he had been arrested for allegedly making up story
In January, another teacher was sent for psychiatric tests after admitting he lied about an attack in his classroom
The teacher, who worked at the Yavne Jewish school in the southern city, claimed two knives were used to slash him in the arms, legs and stomach.

However, there were no independent witnesses, and forensic examinations later suggested Saadoun had caused the knifes lashes himself.

Gilad Atzmon writes: After a three month investigation, police have now decided to charge him with lying to police and disrupting an inquiry.

In December, another pro-Israel teacher was taken into custody after saying he was attacked by an ‘ISIS aggressor’.

Stephane Aroule, 45, is also said to have tried to spread hatred against Muslims by fabricating the stabbing.

He sparked a full-scale terrorist alert when he said a man wearing a balaclava and brandishing a box cutter and scissors had entered the Jean-Perrin nursery school in the Paris suburb of Aubervilliers. The area has a large Muslim population, many of whom have complained of stigmatisation in the wake of the terrorist attacks last November.

Police took Aroule to hospital, but he only had self-inflicted scratches on his body and was quickly released.

Following questioning, he confessed to making the story up to try and spread mistrust and suspicion of Muslims.

The conclusion is inevitable. Rather than a rise in anti semitism in Europe what we see here is a growing manifestation of kosher psychosis.
