02 — The Uniparty is back in control. Fifteen years ago Thomas Frank published a book titled What's the Matter with Kansas? describing how, in an age of plenty, the political battlefield was no longer economic but cultural.
Left and Right, said Frank, Democrat and Republican, no longer mapped to labor and capital, the Little Guy and the Boss Man, but to globalized elites and conservative traditionalists — what a later writer, David Goodhart, called the Anywheres and the Somewheres.
What was actually happening was a bit more interesting. The Left had turned explicitly anti-white and anti-American. They were throwing all their energy behind a demographic transformation of the country by the importation of tens of millions of nonwhite foreigners.
It quickly dawned on the Right, at least on the big corporations that funded the Right, that this worked for them, too, imported foreign labor being cheaper and more compliant than the native variety. Thus our modern Uniparty was born.
There was a problem for the Right, though. The ongoing demographic transformation was hard for people not to notice. How could Republican politicians square it with the appeals to conservative traditionalism that, according to Thomas Frank, had won them Kansas?
They tried a few lame rhetorical strategies — assuring their voters that, for example, Central American fruit-pickers were natural conservatives. Nobody much was convinced.
By 2016 Republican primary voters had seen through the scam. Faced with a bench of seventeen Presidential hopefuls, sixteen of them cookie-cutter Uniparty types and one renegade TV personality talking a strong conservative-traditionalist game, GOP voters turned their backs on the sixteen and chose the one.
There followed a time of crisis and confusion in the Uniparty. It looked for a while as if they might work through all five stages of grief: from denial, anger, bargaining, and depression to acceptance. By the time they'd gotten to anger, though, wiser heads among them had seen a path back to the status quo ante.
In the eleven years since Thomas Frank's book had come out the Uniparty had taken over key federal institutions: Congress, the bureaucracy, the military, all the legal and advisory councils that condense information into bullet-points for the occupant of the White House to scan. They were firmly established in all the key locations. Trump's election barely made a dent in their power.
It helped greatly that the new President was lazy and politically incompetent, without any strong principles: an empty suit who, in a roomful of serious-looking political professionals, agreed with the last person that spoke.
The Uniparty bosses heaved a collective sigh of relief. This was not going to be hard. The thing they'd most feared — the rise of a populist, patriotic opposition — had indeed come to pass, but in a scattered and formless way: a guerilla underground, not a real army, a nuisance not a threat. The person claiming to be the leader of these guerillas was a paper tiger, easily co-opted to Uniparty goals.
So … Back to business as usual!

03 — What's the matter with Alabama? Those thoughts were prompted by Tuesday's result in Alabama. This was a primary contest to select a Republican candidate who will stand against the junior Senator for that state, Democrat Doug Jones, this November.
One of the candidates in Tuesday's primary contest was Jeff Sessions, former Senator from Alabama and Donald Trump's first Attorney General, having been an early Trump supporter and campaigner. The other candidate was Tommy Tuberville, a former Auburn University football coach who has some dubious financial dealings in his past. Tuberville won the primary, with sixty percent of the vote to Sessions' forty.
In the framing of my previous segment, Tuberville, the winner, was the Uniparty candidate. His very few utterances on matters of policy were bland Uniparty boilerplate. He has never held any elected office, so voters had no kind of political paper trail to go by.
Sessions, by contrast, was the guerilla conservative traditionalist, hated by the Uniparty bosses. Given that, and Tuberville's refusal to take any clear policy positions, and the deeply conservative reputation of the Deep South, how did the Uniparty win this one?
With a full-court press from Donald Trump, that's how. Jeff Sessions, on grounds of principle and, as he believed, legal necessity, recused himself when Attorney General from the Russiagate investigations. Trump, having no principles himself, not even knowing what principles are, Trump could not understand Sessions' recusal. He supposed it must be malicious somehow, and has never forgiven Sessions for it.
Throughout the primary campaign right up to last Tuesday, Trump was energetically promoting Tuberville with tweets and TV ads, while spitting venom at Jeff Sessions. Sessions took it all extraordinarily well, with good humor and a gentlemanly demeanor.
That availed him nothing. Alabama's Republican voters put their trust in Trump, apparently not having noticed that he is now nothing but a Uniparty front man, floundering helplessly in the Swamp he promised us he would drain.
What's the matter with Alabama?
Jeff Sessions, if he'd won this primary, would surely have taken back his Senate seat in November. We should then once again have had a voice in the Senate for demographic stability and firm enforcement of the people's laws.
Instead, we shall either have six more years of Doug Jones or else six years of Tommy Tuberville. The result in either case will be the same, shoring up the programs of the Uniparty: mass amnesty for illegal aliens, expanded guest-worker programs to crush the American middle class, early release of criminals from jail, endless military commitments abroad … the entire globalist package.
Jeff Sessions is 73. It's highly unlikely he has much of a political future. So a decent, clever, useful patriot has been pushed out of our national legislature to make room for one more empty suit, one more congressional seat-warmer, one more obedient glove puppet for the globalist tech-financial elites, the Anywheres.
This was one small skirmish in a mopping-up operation: the Uniparty, with Donald Trump now their willing tool, methodically hunting down and expelling from our public life anyone who dissents from their orthodoxy. They destroyed Steve King; now they've destroyed Jeff Sessions. Kris Kobach, you're next.

04 — Will Poland go Irish? There was a presidential election in Poland last Sunday, with better results for national conservatives than we got from Alabama two days later. Andrzej Duda won another five-year term on behalf of the Law and Justice Party, P-i-S for short.
PiS argues for keeping Poland Polish and Christian, and promotes natalist policies encouraging citizens to have more children. They are, in short, a model for National Conservative parties everywhere. They talk the talk that Donald Trump talked in our 2016 campaign. However, as James Kirkpatrick observed on Tuesday here at VDARE.com, Andrzej Duda, unlike Trump, also walks the walk.
I'll put aside for another time the question as to why we, the U.S.A., don't have a natalist party. Perhaps natalism is racist somehow, I don't know. Instead, let's consider a different question: Will Poland go Irish?
PiS won this runoff election 51 percent to 49. That's a tad below how they did in 2015, when they got 52 percent to 48. That may be statistical noise, or the swing of the electoral pendulum. It may also, though, suggest a slow turn away from ethnonationalism towards globalism.
I've written about the transformation of Ireland from a traditionalist, conservative, Catholic, intensely ethnonationalist place to the Heart of Wokeness celebrating homosexuality, feminism, and mass immigration. Might Poland take the same path?
There are some obvious similarities. Poland is deeply Catholic, as Ireland used to be. Also like Ireland, Poland has spent centuries in the shadow of, and under the occupation of, a more powerful neighbor practicing a different Christianity. Membership of the EU has been good for Poland's economy, as it has been for Ireland's, although the Poles are more willing than the Irish to buck EU social policies.
There are differences, too, though. Poland's powerful, overbearing neighbor is Russia, which is way bigger and more threatening to Poles than, in modern times, Britain has been to the Irish. Russia is not a member of the EU and not, except nominally, a representative democracy. True, Russia is separated from Poland by Belarus and the Ukraine; but given Poland's historical experience, I doubt that is much comfort to the Poles.
So I leave this as a question for any listener who knows today's Poland better than I do — which is to say, pretty much any listener at all. Will Poland go Irish? Will she join the global Empire of enlightened progressivism? I'd be interested to hear opinions.

05 — The quaint charm of old-style liberalism. Bari Weiss, a lesbian Jewish liberal, has resigned from her job as an opinion editor at the New York Times because, she says in her resignation letter, the paper is too woke.
Sample from that letter:
A new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn't a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.
End quote.
What, she just noticed that?
It's encouraging, I guess, that liberals of the older, slightly more open-minded type are waking up to the totalitarian savagery of the CultMarx Red Guards. I'm observing from a distance, though, having long ago given up on the New York Times.
Are there any mainstream outlets I haven't given up on? Well, I have a subscription to The Economist, have had one for at least twenty years.
This is all that's left of an enthusiasm I had, way back from the 1960s and 1970s, for weekly newsmagazines. Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report: I could never see one of them lying around anywhere without yielding to the urge to pick it up and skim-read through it. The weekly newsmagazines gave you a good brisk way to keep at least superficially up-to-date on just about everything.
Then I got older and my interests narrowed. At the same time the newsmagazines got fluffier and less interesting. I haven't picked up a copy of Time or Newsweek for years. Is U.S. News & World Report even still with us? Oh, yes, I see it is, at any rate in an online version.
I kept up my Economist subscription, though, just for that weekly fix. They cover everywhere and everything; and I suppose there's a lingering appeal in the Britishness of the thing. Their international coverage — on China, for example — isn't bad. I don't read much of the Business and Finance sections, but the occasional bits I do read seem sound. The back-of-the-magazine items — science news, book reviews, the obituary — are literate and often interesting.
Still, I've been finding The Economist's editorial line harder and harder to take. They've been ferociously anti-Trump: not because he's ineffectual and easily rolled — the charges I make against him — but because they still believe him to be an upholder of national sovereignty, which they hate, and a threat to open-borders globalism, which they promote.
On issues relating to human biodiversity they are angrily, aggressively blank-slate. There is no such thing as race; men and women have identical interests and abilities when not corrupted by social pressures; and so on. When the anti-Trump urge coincides with issues of race or sex, The Economist goes full CultMarx: see my Economist Watch column here at VDARE.com following the Charlottesville business in August 2017.
Given all that, I greeted my July 11th issue of The Economist with mixed feelings. Most of the front cover consisted of the word "RACE" in huge letters. Once I got the smaller print in focus, the cover actually said: "The new ideology of RACE and what's wrong with it."
For a fleeting moment I thought the "new ideology" they were talking about might be honest race realism, and that what's wrong with it from The Economist's viewpoint is, of course, that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RACE! Then there would be a long, detailed restatement of CultMarx orthodoxy that I wouldn't be bothered to read; but at least they would be acknowledging the existence of sensible race realism, perhaps with no references to Hitler at all.
No such luck. The "new ideology" they're writing about is not race realism but wokeness. Quote:
A dangerous … approach has emerged from American universities. It rejects the liberal notion of progress. It defines everyone by their race, and every action as racist or anti-racist. It is not yet dominant, but it is dynamic and it is spreading out of the academy into everyday life. If it supplants liberal values, then intimidation will chill open debate and sow division to the disadvantage of all, black and white.
End quote.
There follow pages and pages of CultMarx orthodoxy sure enough: but it's in opposition not to race realism, but to the cranky anti-white obsessions of the wokesters as found in books like Robin DiAngelo's current bestseller White Fragility.
And no, I didn't bother to read it all. I glanced at the text and saw what I expected to see. Poverty is the problem; police brutality is the problem; zoning rules are the problem. Quote:
The household income gap [that is, between blacks and whites] is the same as it was in 1968.
End quote.
You don't say. That's more than fifty years. Is there anything we haven't tried in those fifty years to make the races come out equal, up to and including stuffing our courts, schools, police departments and corporations with black authority figures and electing a black President?
Still and all, with race hysteria at its current fever pitch, there's a sort of quaint charm in The Economist's old-fashioned liberal naïvety. Fix the schools! Integrate our neighborhoods! Expand the Earned-Income Tax Credit! Everything will come right at last, black and white all equal!
Perhaps they might offer a job to Bari Weiss.

06 — Smithsonian whiteness. Yes, say what you like about the old, Economist style of liberalism, it's nothing like as barking crazy as this newer brand.
Case in point: the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, opened just four years ago on Constitution Avenue in our nation's capital.
A worthy enough enterprise, you may think. Many, many big-money donors agree with you; the museum gets tens of millions of dollars from virtue-purchasing … I beg your pardon, I mean virtue-signaling outfits like American Express, Boeing, Walmart, and Bank of America. Also of course from our federal government, which chipped in $33 million to the museum in fiscal 2019.
Well, the Museum, via its online portal, has been educating us about whiteness. Quote from the header:
White dominant culture, or whiteness, refers to the ways white people and their traditions, attitudes, and ways of life have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States.
End quote.
Scary, huh? What are these peculiar folkways that white people have imposed on our nation? Things like, actual quotes:
Rugged Individualism … self-reliance … the nuclear family … objective, rational linear thinking … history based on Northern European immigrants' experience … the Protestant work ethic … hard work is the key to success …
Good grief! What a perverse, twisted set of values! How people of color must suffer under the oppression of such ideas!
Well, it's easy to laugh. A great many people did laugh after Byron York tweeted out the web page mid-week. It seems to have since been taken down; at least, I can't find it on the museum's website at week end.
The people who made that web page weren't laughing when they made it, though. They were in earnest; they believe this stuff; and the authorities at the Smithsonian — one of our nation's most prestigious cultural and educational institutions — saw nothing wrong with it until the laughing and jeering broke out on Twitter.
That's how far we've come; that's how wide the rot has spread.
I think I'll keep up my Economist subscription for a while longer.

07 — Color-blindness is racist. And if you think that we should maybe just scrap all this obsessing about race and try pure color-blind meritocracy — well, if you think that you are really trying to swim against the current.
Case One: When California voters go to the polls this November they will see on the ballot sheet a proposition to repeal Proposition 209.
What is that? Proposition 209, the one you will be invited to repeal, was passed in 1996. It prohibits the state from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting. In other words it bans affirmative action.
So California currently, over wide areas of employment, education, and commerce, is constitutionally colorblind. A lot of people don't like that. State Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a large black lady, especially doesn't like it. Quote from her:
Proposition 209 [that's the one she wants to repeal] has cost women and minority-owned businesses $1.1 billion each year … and has allowed discriminatory hiring and contracting processes to continue unhindered.
End quote.
Get that? A prohibition on discriminating by race or sex is … discriminatory. If you don't undertand the logic of that it's probably because you've succumbed to objective, rational linear thinking, you white supremacist, you!
Case Two: This one's from the world of classical music. The headline explains itself. New York Times, July 16th, headline: To Make Orchestras More Diverse, End Blind Auditions.
Fifty years ago, after charges of discrimination from some black musicians, the New York Philharmonic, soon followed by other American orchestras, began to hold auditions behind a screen, so that judgment was strictly on musical quality, not influenced by the player's race or sex. Blind auditions.
Alas, it's not working very well. Quote:
In a 2014 study, only 1.8 percent of the players in top ensembles were Black; just 2.5 percent were Latino.
End quote.
What to do? The Times of course knows. Quote:
If things are to change, ensembles must be able to take proactive steps to address the appalling racial imbalance that remains in their ranks. Blind auditions are no longer tenable.
End quote.
See that? Color-blindness is racist!
Here's a brief footnote to that second case, also from the world of classical music; and also from July 16th, although this story is from the Washington Post of that date. Headline: That sound you're hearing is classical music's long overdue reckoning with racism.
So we're in the same territory here we were in with that New York Times piece: the appalling racism being practiced by orchestras and opera companies against blacks and Latinos. This one, though, includes a curious little arithmetical oddity that a keen-eyed reader spotted and emailed in to me about. Thank you, Sir!
Here is the oddity. Listen carefully. First the reporter tells us that from 2002 to 2014, the proportion of black musicians in American orchestras, quote, "languished at around 1.8 percent," end quote. That's the same proportion as given in the New York Times story, 1.8 percent. Probably both reporters read the same study.
Hold that in your mind: black musicians in our orchestras, 1.8 percent.
Then, just two sentences later in the same paragraph we get this, quote:
Between 2010 and 2016, black conductors and music directors have accounted for just 2 to 6 percent of the field.
End quote.
OK, let's do arithmetic. Two divided by 1.8 is 1.11. Six divided by 1.8 is 3.33. Since black musicians as a whole are languishing at 1.8 percent, if 2 to 6 percent of conductors and music directors are black, that means blacks are being promoted out of the orchestra pit into into those more prestigious slots two or three times more than their overall representation would lead you to expect.
But wait. I did some math to reach that conclusion; and math is, as I'm sure the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture would be glad to confirm, white man's ju-ju — a style of objective, rational linear thinking.
Down with white dominant culture! Black lives matter!

09 — Miscellany. And now, our closing miscellany of brief items.
Imprimis: Greenland. We don't get much news out of Greenland. Scanning my Radio Derb archives, I see only two real references. One, from the science news in August 2016, was about the Greenland Shark having been determined to be the longest-lived of all vertebrates — up to 400 years.
The other, from March that same year, just mentioned a review I had done of a book about Greenland, a book that made the place sound like a crappy welfare slum.
Well, here is some actual news about Greenland. Greenland has a capital city, formerly named Gothåb, nowadays named Nuuk. The first of those names, Gothåb, is Danish — it means "Good Hope" — because Greenland is a Danish colony. It's actually billed as an "autonomous territory" within the Kingdom of Denmark; but I'm guessing the autonomy is highly fictitious.
The population of Greenland is twelve percent Danish, the rest Eskimo or mixed-blood Eskimo-Danish. Hence that second name, Nuuk, which is the Eskimo word for "Cape," as a concession to Eskimo sensibilities by the colonial authorities.
OK, so what's the news? Well, there's a big statue of Hans Egede in Nuuk. He was the 18th-century Lutheran missionary who Christianized the locals. Guess what: The statue has been vandalized — splashed with red paint and graffitied with the word "decolonize." Now the Greenlanders are having a vote on whether or not to keep the statue.
Isn't it amazing how these hysterias spread? One day they're vandalizing statues of Andy Jackson in Washington and Winston Churchill in London. Next thing you know, the folk up there in Greenland, on the Arctic Circle, have caught the fever.
I haven't yet heard any chants of "Eskimo Lives Matter!" but it can only be a matter of time.
[Permalink]
Item: Still on the statue news, although this is actually a tower, not a statue.
Edinburgh University, up in Scotland, boasts a David Hume Tower, named for the great 18th-century Scottish empiricist philosopher, who both studied and taught at the university. The tower is not actually anything to boast of: It's an ugly modern 14-storey structure with no redeeming features.
Hume was not a slave-owner or a slave-trader. He did, though, once lend money to a friend who may have used some of the money to buy a plantation in the West Indies, one that employed black slaves. That, and one or two mild remarks, routine for his time, about blacks being inferior to whites, is enough to get you canceled nowadays. A student petition to rename the tower already had over a thousand signatures by July 2nd.
Apparently the petitioners want to rename the place "Julius Nyerere Tower," after the first president of independent Tanzania, who attended Edinburgh University around 1950.
All right. Nyerere seems not to have been a bad sort, as African dictators go. I bet he wasn't as much fun as David Hume, though. Here's my favorite Hume quote.
This is from Part IV, Section II of Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature. After a long argument attempting to derive metaphysical truth from our experiences, he concludes that neither mind nor matter can actually exist. Then he turns and laughs at himself. Edited quote:
This sceptical doubt … is a malady, which can never be radically cur'd, but must return upon us every moment, however we may chace it away … Carelessness and in-attention alone can afford us any remedy. For this reason I rely entirely upon them; and take it for granted, whatever may be the reader's opinion at this present moment, that an hour hence he will be persuaded there is both an external and an internal world …
[Permalink]
Item: Finally, some creative thinking from the people paid to come up with plans for space exploration.
NASA is planning, how seriously I don't know, to send astronauts back to the moon in 2024. They've teamed up with their opposite number agency in Japan to figure out the logistics.
One issue is, that for a prolonged stay on the Moon's surface, you need a place to live. There have been various ideas about this. Pre-landed pods? Inflatable tents? Caves excavated in crater walls? Sci-fi writers have worked over the possibilities.
Here is what NASA and their Japanese colleagues seem to have settled on: an RV, to be made by Toyota. Quote:
The RV-like rover will hold two people for up to 14 days, allowing them to live and work inside while traveling across the moon.
End quote.
Now that's good, clever thinking. Having enjoyed a brief experience of the RV lifestyle back in 2017, I can definitely recommend it. Just make sure you have a good seal when you dump the septic tank, guys.

09 — Signoff. That's it, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for listening, and special thanks to Jesse Lee Peterson for doing the show with me on Thursday.
As you may be aware, one of the fronts that's opened up in our ongoing cultural revolution is for the cancellation of national anthems. An op-ed in the July 14th Los Angeles Times by one Jody Rosen calls for banning "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the grounds that Francis Scott Key was a slave-owner. His statue has already been removed from Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
Across the pond, meanwhile, the annual eight weeks of Promenade Concerts in London's Albert Hall, sponsored by the BBC, traditionally end with the entire audience singing the patriotic songs "Rule, Britannia!" and "Land of Hope and Glory."
This is the famous Last Night of the Proms in early September. "Rule, Britannia!" has been sung for at least the last seventy years; "Land of Hope and Glory" I think for longer than that.
Just how they are going to manage the Proms this year, with the pandemic and all, seems to be still up in the air. With the rise of Black Lives Matter, though, there have been denunciations of those two patriotic classics. Probably they'll get canceled; although the audience at the Last Night of the Proms is a rowdy one, and may not take kindly to the reform. We shall see.
Radio Derb is of course impeccably multicultural. We strive to avoid any offense at all to the sensibilities of anyone at all, anywhere, of any race, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability status, or Body Mass Index.
In that spirit we shall play you out with a national anthem no-one could possibly object to: "Nunarput Utoqqarsuanngoravit," the national anthem of Greenland. If you know the words, by all means sing along.
There will be more from Radio Derb next week.

Previously: What The Heck Is Going On With DACA?
President Trump issued a presidential memorandum Tuesday that would exclude illegal immigrants from the 2020 Census. This move will ensure congressional representation is not impacted by non-citizens who are not even supposed to be here [Trump Wants To Change Who Counts For Dividing Up Congress' Seats, by Hansi Lo Wang, NPR, July 21, 2020].
The administration made a strong case for the necessity of this action in the memorandum.
“Excluding these illegal aliens from the apportionment base is more consonant with the principles of representative democracy underpinning our system of Government,” says the memorandum. “Increasing congressional representation based on the presence of aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status would also create perverse incentives encouraging violations of Federal law. States adopting policies that encourage illegal aliens to enter this country and that hobble Federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws passed by the Congress should not be rewarded with greater representation in the House of Representatives.”
The memorandum also mentions an unnamed state (California) hosting 2.2 million illegal aliens. If counted in the census, it would give that state at least two congressional seats it shouldn’t have.
Like all positive Trump actions, this order will face legal challenges that may hinder its implementation. The Supreme Court struck down the administration’s attempt to ask Census respondents if they were citizens last year. The Court ruled that the administration could ask the question, but Trump allegedly didn’t follow proper procedure to include the question in the Census.
It remains to be seen if this will hold up in court. Whatever happens with its legal battles, this is the right move by Trump to preserve the Historic American Nation and ensure citizens, not illegal aliens, are represented in Congress.

Love your writing, and all the other good writing and reporting on your site.
Just Googled "VDARE" on my work PC (I know, gotta be careful!) and vdare com is on the top...of the *second* search engine results page!
It's on the *bottom* of a search on my phone...
I think you likely knew this. You surely knew it didn't come up first. But I swear it's gotten worse very recently!!!
Of course all the first hits are derogatory. Funny that doesn't happen with leftist site searches...

vdare--2020-07-21--Sen. Tim Scott Shows It’s Time For GOP To Give Up On Great Black Hope Strategy

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott , the lone black GOP Senator , might be the most insidious Republican in Washington .
He ’ s not as bad on immigration as Lindsey Graham .
He ’ s not as desperate for media adoration as Mitt Romney .
And he doesn ’ t vote with the Democrats as much as Lisa Murkowski .
He ’ s apparently a boilerplate Beltway conservative—except on race .
And , as the Historic American Nation meets the Great Replacement , that ’ s increasingly what ( so to speak ) Matters .
No Republican is more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into taking a knee before the Black Lives Matter hysteria .
Scott advocates terrible police “ reforms ” , insists that conservatives embrace a multicultural America , and demands the party do more to serve non-white interests .
He even polices President Trump for his “ tone ” [ Fox ’ s Cavuto Presses Sen. Tim Scott on Trump ’ s Tone : ‘ Many in Your Party ’ Are Concerned , by Josh Feldman , Mediaite , June 2 , 2020 ] .
Let ’ s go down the list .
Scott @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ police reform ” within the GOP .
Last month , he introduced the JUSTICE Act , which demands that police departments report use of force and share officer disciplinary records , and discourages chokeholds and other tough police tactics .
It also establishes civilian commissions to investigate how police affect blacks and suggest more “ reforms ” although it does not eliminate qualified immunity , which protects police from frivolous lawsuits and is a major item on the Democrat wish list .
Most Senate Republicans supported Scott ’ s bill , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t do enough damage to tried-and-true standard police practice [ GOP police reform bill stalls in Senate as Democrats vote to block debate , by Grace Segers , CBS News , June 24 , 2020 ] .
Ever tenacious , Scott hasn ’ t given up .
He is talking with Rep. Karen Bass , a black Democrat from California , on giving the Democrats more of what they want .
Bass proposed the Democrats ’ police reform bill that eliminates qualified immunity and imposes other radical measures .
Scott insists that qualified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s happy to cuff the cops in other ways [ ‘ Lazarus Moment ’ Coming for Police Reform in Congress ?
Karen Bass & Tim Scott Are Continuing Bipartisan Talks , by Eric Revell , Countable , July 13 , 2020 ] .
Scott also strongly supported Jared Kushner ’ s “ criminal justice reform ” and praised his First Step Act for providing “ an amazing opportunity to ensure the scales of justice are weighted equally for all Americans ” [ Sen. Tim Scott : Passage of First Step Act a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , December 20 , 2018 ] .
The bill sprung hundreds of drug dealers and other felons from jail .
Meanwhile , Scott wants to get tough on lynching .
Although lynching occurs about as often as witch burning , Scott has sponsored legislation to make it a federal crime [ U.S. Sen. Tim Scott joins two Senate Democrats to make lynching a federal crime , by Jamie Lovegrove and Schuyler Kropf , The Post and Courier , June 29 , 2018 ] .
The current anti-lynching bill , which has passed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” vandalism ( like painting over Black Lives Matter murals ? )
and other minor infractions as lynching—and would carry mandatory 10-year sentences [ The Federal 'Anti-Lynching ' Bill Sacrifices Justice for Symbolism , by Jacob Sullum , Reason , June 25 , 2020 ] .
In other words , lynching is no longer just lynching .
It means whatever the Democrats say it means .
Scott is not awful on immigration—his career NumbersUSA ranking is actually A+—although recently B+—but he ’ s hardly reliable .
He publicly supported Kushner ’ s mediocre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s national emergency declaration on the border [ Sen. Scott Statement on the Emergency Declaration Resolution of Disapproval , Scott.Senate.gov , March 14 , 2019 ] .
Then again , he opposed so-called “ family separation ” for detained illegal immigrants .
Needless to say , he also proclaims that America is a nation of immigrants and diversity is its strength [ Tim Scott reacts to Trump 'shithole ' controversy : 'Our strength lies in our diversity ' , by Daniel Chaitin , Washington Examiner , January 11 , 2018 “ The American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and poverty and searching for a better future , ” he falsely said in a 2018 statement condemning Trump ’ s “ s***hole ” comment .
“ Our strength lies in our diversity , including those who came here from Africa , the Caribbean and every other corner of the world .
To deny these facts would be to ignore the brightest part of our history.
” Those comments go directly to Scott ’ s school-marmish finger-wagging at party colleagues for their “ tone.
” Main target : Trump .
Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-American Democrat riot in Charlottesville undermined his moral authority , Scott said , and he lectured Trump on race when the two met in September of 2017 [ Sen. Tim Scott : Trump Has 'Obviously Reflected ' On His Charlottesville Comments , by Geoff Bennett and Martina Stewart , NPR , September 13 , 2017 ] .
When Trump said anti-American immigrants like Muslim radical Rep. Ilhan Omar should return whence they came , Scott grumbled about “ unacceptable personal attacks and racially offensive language ” that “ divide the nation ” [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calls Trump 's tweets 'racially offensive ' , by Alexander Bolton , The Hill , July 15 , 2019 ] .
Last month , Scott condemned Trump for sharing a video of a Trump supporter mockingly saying “ white power ” at left-wing protesters , calling it “ indefensible ” [ Tim Scott condemns `` terrible '' video shared by Trump showing supporter yelling `` white power '' , by Melissa Quinn , CBS News , June 28 , 2020 ] .
In fact , the Trump supporter was reacting , very moderately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accusations of Nazism from Biden supporters ( something the White House should have pointed out instead of running away ) .
How determined is Scott to move the GOP left on race and “ diversity ?
” In 2018 , he deep-sixed two solid Trump judicial appointees to make the point .
Scott kneecapped Ryan Bounds , who was headed to the Ninth Circuit Court , over an anti-multiculturalism op-ed the nominee wrote in college .
It read like something from National Review , but Nanny Scott declared it racist .
He also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conservative hero Jesse Helms ’ s campaigns in 1984 and 1990 .
Those campaigns , Scott declared , relied on “ racial intimidation.
” “ We are not doing a very good job of avoiding the obvious potholes on race in America , and we ought to be more sensitive when it comes to those issues , ” he said [ Sen. Tim Scott tells fellow Republicans : Do better on judicial nominees , by Sean Sullivan , The Washington Post , December 8 , 2018 ] .
Scott is arguably the most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his power lies solely in his race .
Great Black Hopes like Scott enthrall Establishment Republicans , who yearn for respectability and wrongly think they will attract black voters to the party .
That is why he was appointed to the Senate , by Gov .
Nikki Haley , in 2013 .
No amount of evidence to the contrary seems able to dispel this Establishment fantasy .
Thus Scott pulled just 8 percent of the black vote in the 2014 special election .
In other words , these Great Black Hopes bring no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP from frankly appealing to its white base , as Scott ’ s activities well show .
• Texas Rep. Will Hurd is the only black Republican in the House , and his main contributions are criticizing Trump and demanding the GOP be more liberal on immigration [ Texas Rep. Will Hurd , Republican and former CIA officer , at center of impeachment fight , by Molly O ’ Toole , Los Angeles Times , October 6 , 2019 ] .
He isn ’ t as powerful as Scott and , thankfully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
• John James , the Republican Senate nominee in Michigan , hopes to be the next Tim Scott .
Like Scott , he earns glowing coverage from Conservatism Inc. media , which thinks he is a “ rising star.
” But he failed 8 % -52.3 % against the very white Debbie Stabenow in 2018 , and garnered just 8 percent of the black vote .
And of course James is pushing the party left on race .
He has criticized Trump for his strong immigration comments and for mocking John McCain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to call out Donald Trump , by Alex Isenstadt , Politico , May 9 , 2020 ] .
He claims that he has personal experience of “ police racism ” and said he “ felt ” the George Floyd video .
He claims he considered protesting with Black Lives Matter following Floyd ’ s death .
He also says he opposes saying “ all lives matter ” because it ’ s “ hurtful and cruel in the moment ” [ A Black Republican Feels the Sting of Racism , but Is Silent on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kathleen Gray , The New York Times , July 8 , 2020 ] .
Here are a few blasts from the past : • JC Watts , who served in Congress during the 1990s .
Conservatives fawned over him , even though his singular contribution was stopping the GOP from targeting Affirmative Action .
• Colin Powell , George W. Bush ’ s secretary of state .
He endorsed Barack Obama twice and now calls Republicans racists [ Colin Powell : ‘ The Country Is Wise to Trump .
We ’ re Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ , by Peter Wade , Rolling Stone , June 7 , 2020 ] .
• Ed Brooke , elected in 1966 by Massachusetts as the first black Senator since Reconstruction .
Brooke supported Affirmative Action , busing , and other measures that dispossessed the Historic American Nation [ How a Young Joe Biden Turned Liberals Against Integration , by Jason Sokol , Politico , August 4 , 2015 ] .
There are some good black Republicans .
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and former Rep. Allen West have stood up for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the GOP left on race .
But they are exceptions to Scott ’ s rule .
And there ’ s a very real danger that , in pandering to successive Great Black Hopes , the GOP will alienate its white working-class base that put Trump in the White House ( and won him , for example , John James ’ Michigan ) .
This base voted for law and order , not “ criminal justice reform.
” It hates Political Correctness , doesn ’ t want more lectures about racism , and doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phony black conservatives .
Scott ’ s agenda tells the Silent Majority their concerns are racist and less important than the handful of blacks who vote Republican .
It ’ s a plan designed to lose elections .
Only a Stupid Party would run on it .

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, the lone black GOP Senator, might be the most insidious Republican in Washington. He’s not as bad on immigration as Lindsey Graham. He’s not as desperate for media adoration as Mitt Romney. And he doesn’t vote with the Democrats as much as Lisa Murkowski. He’s apparently a boilerplate Beltway conservative—except on race. And, as the Historic American Nation meets the Great Replacement, that’s increasingly what (so to speak) Matters.
No Republican is more responsible than Scott for browbeating the GOP into taking a knee before the Black Lives Matter hysteria. Scott advocates terrible police “reforms,” insists that conservatives embrace a multicultural America, and demands the party do more to serve non-white interests. He even polices President Trump for his “tone” [Fox’s Cavuto Presses Sen. Tim Scott on Trump’s Tone: ‘Many in Your Party’ Are Concerned, by Josh Feldman, Mediaite, June 2, 2020].
Let’s go down the list.
Scott is the loudest voice for totally unnecessary “police reform” within the GOP. Last month, he introduced the JUSTICE Act, which demands that police departments report use of force and share officer disciplinary records, and discourages chokeholds and other tough police tactics. It also establishes civilian commissions to investigate how police affect blacks and suggest more “reforms” although it does not eliminate qualified immunity, which protects police from frivolous lawsuits and is a major item on the Democrat wish list.

Karen Bass & Tim Scott Are Continuing Bipartisan Talks, by Eric Revell, Countable, July 13, 2020].
Scott also strongly supported Jared Kushner’s “criminal justice reform” and praised his First Step Act for providing “an amazing opportunity to ensure the scales of justice are weighted equally for all Americans” [Sen. Tim Scott: Passage of First Step Act a victory for criminal justice reform, Scott.Senate.gov, December 20, 2018]. The bill sprung hundreds of drug dealers and other felons from jail.
Meanwhile, Scott wants to get tough on lynching. Although lynching occurs about as often as witch burning, Scott has sponsored legislation to make it a federal crime [U.S. Sen. Tim Scott joins two Senate Democrats to make lynching a federal crime, by Jamie Lovegrove and Schuyler Kropf, The Post and Courier, June 29, 2018].

In other words, lynching is no longer just lynching. It means whatever the Democrats say it means.
Scott is not awful on immigration—his career NumbersUSA ranking is actually A+—although recently B+—but he’s hardly reliable. He publicly supported Kushner’s mediocre 2019 immigration plan and the president’s national emergency declaration on the border [Sen. Scott Statement on the Emergency Declaration Resolution of Disapproval, Scott.Senate.gov, March 14, 2019]. Then again, he opposed so-called “family separation” for detained illegal immigrants. Needless to say, he also proclaims that America is a nation of immigrants and diversity is its strength [Tim Scott reacts to Trump 'shithole' controversy: 'Our strength lies in our diversity,' by Daniel Chaitin, Washington Examiner, January 11, 2018].
“The American family was born from immigrants fleeing persecution and poverty and searching for a better future,” he falsely said in a 2018 statement condemning Trump’s “s***hole” comment. “Our strength lies in our diversity, including those who came here from Africa, the Caribbean and every other corner of the world. To deny these facts would be to ignore the brightest part of our history.”
Those comments go directly to Scott’s school-marmish finger-wagging at party colleagues for their “tone.” Main target: Trump. Trump’s “both sides” comments about the anti-American Democrat riot in Charlottesville undermined his moral authority, Scott said, and he lectured Trump on race when the two met in September of 2017 [Sen. Tim Scott: Trump Has 'Obviously Reflected' On His Charlottesville Comments, by Geoff Bennett and Martina Stewart, NPR, September 13, 2017]. When Trump said anti-American immigrants like Muslim radical Rep.

Scott kneecapped Ryan Bounds, who was headed to the Ninth Circuit Court, over an anti-multiculturalism op-ed the nominee wrote in college. It read like something from National Review, but Nanny Scott declared it racist. He also torpedoed Thomas Farr because he worked for conservative hero Jesse Helms’s campaigns in 1984 and 1990. Those campaigns, Scott declared, relied on “racial intimidation.” “We are not doing a very good job of avoiding the obvious potholes on race in America, and we ought to be more sensitive when it comes to those issues,” he said [Sen.

Thus Scott pulled just 8 percent of the black vote in the 2014 special election.
In other words, these Great Black Hopes bring no tangible benefit, but instead inhibit the GOP from frankly appealing to its white base, as Scott’s activities well show.
Other current cases:
And of course James is pushing the party left on race. He has criticized Trump for his strong immigration comments and for mocking John McCain [The one Republican Senate candidate willing to call out Donald Trump, by Alex Isenstadt, Politico, May 9, 2020]. He claims that he has personal experience of “police racism” and said he “felt” the George Floyd video. He claims he considered protesting with Black Lives Matter following Floyd’s death. He also says he opposes saying “all lives matter” because it’s “hurtful and cruel in the moment” [A Black Republican Feels the Sting of Racism, but Is Silent on Trump, by Jeremy W. Peters and Kathleen Gray, New York Times, July 8, 2020].
Here are a few blasts from the past:
There are some good black Republicans. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and former Rep. Allen West have stood up for conservative principles and not sought to move the GOP left on race. But they are exceptions to Scott’s rule.
And there’s a very real danger that, in pandering to successive Great Black Hopes, the GOP will alienate its white working-class base that put Trump in the White House (and won him, for example, John James’ Michigan). This base voted for law and order, not “criminal justice reform.” It hates Political Correctness, doesn’t want more lectures about racism, and doesn’t care about offending liberals and phony black conservatives.
Scott’s agenda tells the Silent Majority their concerns are racist and less important than the handful of blacks who vote Republican.
It’s a plan designed to lose elections. Only a Stupid Party would run on it.

A 15-year-old Black girl who has been incarcerated in Michigan since mid-May after she failed to do her online schoolwork won’t be returning home, a judge decided Monday, in a case that has stoked outrage that it is emblematic of systemic racism and the criminalization of Black children.
Oakland County Judge Mary Ellen Brennan determined that the girl has been benefiting from a residential treatment program at a juvenile detention center, but is not yet ready to be with her mother. Brennan, the presiding judge of the court’s Family Division, scheduled another hearing for September, NBC affiliate WDIV reported.
The girl, who is being identified only by her middle name, Grace, was the subject of a report published last week by ProPublica Illinois, with politicians and community activists expressing outrage over her incarceration.
During a three-hour proceeding, Brennan told Grace that it was in her best interest to stay in the program after all of the progress she had been making.
“Give yourself a chance to follow through and finish something,” Brennan said, according to the Detroit News. “The right thing is for you and your mom to be separated for right now.”
Grace, however, told the judge that she wanted to go home: “I miss my mom. I can control myself. I can be obedient.”
After the hearing, an attorney for the family, Jonathan Biernat, confirmed that Grace had been making strides, but the “fight for her release” is ongoing. He was unavailable for further comment later Monday.
This past school year, Grace was a sophomore at Groves High School in the Birmingham Public Schools, which is 79 percent white, according to school district data.

Ha .
It 's not `` socialism '' or `` communism '' under which we suffer .
Our dangerously chaotic , selectively oppressive predicament is more accurately described as `` anarcho-tyranny . ''
The late conservative columnist Sam Francis first coined the term in 1992 to diagnose a condition of `` both anarchy ( the failure of the state to enforce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same time , tyranny—the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes . ''
The `` criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent , '' Francis expounded , is achieved in such a state through : `` exorbitant taxation , bureaucratic regulation ; the invasion of privacy , and the engineering of social institutions , such as the family and local schools ; the imposition of thought control through 'sensitivity training ' and multiculturalist curricula ; 'hate crime ' laws ; gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illegally ; and a vast labyrinth of other measures . ''
The toxic combination of `` pandemic panic '' and `` George Floyd derangement syndrome '' has thoroughly destroyed the home of the brave .

Earlier: Trump Can Win Re-Election By Inviting McCloskeys To White House, Denouncing Gun-Grabbing Dems’ Anarcho-Tyranny
The America you grew up in is not the America we live in now.
One nation under God? Ha.
Land of the free? Ha.
Domestic tranquility? Ha.
Equal protection under the law? Ha.
The right to bear arms? Ha.
Freedom of speech? Association? Peaceable assembly? Ha. Ha. Ha.
It's not "socialism" or "communism" under which we suffer. Our dangerously chaotic, selectively oppressive predicament is more accurately described as "anarcho-tyranny." The late conservative columnist Sam Francis first coined the term in 1992 to diagnose a condition of "both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny—the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes."
The "criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent," Francis expounded, is achieved in such a state through: "exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation; the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through 'sensitivity training' and multiculturalist curricula; 'hate crime' laws; gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally; and a vast labyrinth of other measures." [Synthesizing Tyranny by Samuel Francis, Chronicles, April 2005]
The toxic combination of "pandemic panic" and "George Floyd derangement syndrome" has thoroughly destroyed the home of the brave. It is a paradise for the depraved and dictatorial.
Anarcho-tyranny is how hoodlums can toss statues into rivers with impunity, while citizens disgusted by Black Lives Matter street graffiti are charged with "hate crimes"—as David Nelson and Nicole Anderson in Martinez, California, were by a George Soros-funded district attorney two weeks ago.
Anarcho-tyranny is how rioters can shut down highways and byways on a whim without fear of arrest, while commuters trying to escape the window-smashing barbarians obstructing traffic are charged with "assault"—as poor Jennifer Watson of Denver, Colorado, was this week.
Anarcho-tyranny is how hordes of gay pride activists marching shoulder to shoulder can defy social distancing guidelines with gushing approbation from radical left-wing medical "experts," while anti-lockdown and anti-mask mandate protesters are deemed public health menaces who now face snitch hotlines, fines, house arrest or jail time.
Anarcho-tyranny is how 1,000 black militia members can take over the streets in Georgia and point their guns at motorists as they demand reparations, while white citizen militia members in Idaho, Utah and New Mexico have been smeared publicly as racists and face injunctions for peacefully defending their neighborhoods.
Where do the police stand in this regime? It pains me to say it, but those of us who have backed the blue so loyally and vocally can no longer do so under the assumption that the blue will back us.
It's rank-and-file cops who are issuing citations to citizens who want to breathe freely.
It's rank-and-file cops who are standing by while our monuments and courthouses and landmarks are burned and obliterated.
It was rank-and-file cops in Denver who watched as my patriotic friends and I tried to hold a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day this past Sunday and were besieged by Black Lives Matter and antifa thugs who had declared that their sole intent in invading our permitted celebration was to "shut us down." I livestreamed the chaos as pro-police attendees were beaten, including the organizer Ron MacLachlan, who was bloodied in the face and head just a few feet from me by black-masked animals. One antifa actor wielded her collapsible baton just inches from me.
The cop-haters had obstructed traffic on their five-minute march from their unpermitted event at the Colorado State Capitol to our permitted space.
No cops intervened.
Unprovoked, the cop-haters blared airhorns, sprayed our faces (mine included), burned an American flag, punched, shoved and menaced and took over our stage.
No cops intervened.
The Denver police chief, Black Lives Matter champion Paul Pazen, has repeatedly and publicly blamed us—the law-abiding—for not having enough private security in place, even as he admitted that 76 officers had been injured by the "peaceful" agitators who have turned our capital into a heathen hellhole (and perpetrated more than $1 million in property damage so far).
If we had brandished or used our weapons in self-defense, we'd be facing felony assault charges—as armed citizen Steven Baca is in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the hands of another Soros-subsidized district attorney.
If any of our men had tried to peel the female antifa thugs off of MAGA ladies who were assaulted, they'd be charged with battery, too—just like Baca.
On Tuesday morning, a Denver police union official called me to apologize for the department's failure to protect those of us who tried to speak on their behalf. The "backlash" for defending our constitutional rights was too high a price to pay, he told me. Sorry.
So the message is loud and clear. When push comes to bloody shove in end-stage America, under the rule of the anarcho-tyrants, we, the law-abiding, are the enemy. Those in uniform sworn to protect and serve will turn their backs on us because their bosses don't answer to the public. They protect and serve the mob.

From my new Taki’s Magazine column:
How big is the wealth gap in the U.S. between Jews and gentiles? Judging from the Forbes 400, where 35 of the top 100 names are at least half Jewish by ethnicity, it would appear the ethnic gap is about as big as the race gap.
But is it due to Jewish privilege?
Well, to the extent that “white privilege” is said to be proven by whites, on average, having nicer things than blacks, then “Jewish privilege” must exist because Jews appear to own nicer stuff than non-Jewish whites. On the other hand, perhaps “privilege” isn’t a wholly adequate perspective on who is rich and who is poor?

A Reader Objects To Conservatism, Inc. Calling Mayors Who Won't Obey Federal Law The "New Confederates"

It is rare for me to have a complaint about VDARE.com , but I must express my annoyance at the gratuitous swipe at the Confederacy made by Judicial Watch 's Tom Fitton in a tweet which VDARE.com retweeted earlier today .
Not only was it gratuitous , but plain offensive for him to compare the antifa rioters in Portland to the Confederacy : For some reason , Conservatism , Inc. has made it a pet project to go after Confederate anything , from Robert E. Lee on through the ranks .
They 've always been a craven lot , doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ especially during a time when Confederate has once again become a dirty word .
Please assure me that this was a mistake .
Or maybe even that I 've made a mistake in my interpretation .
Otherwise , keep up the great work , and best of luck against the deplatformers ( and as you well know , I do n't think Conservatism , Inc. is shedding any tears over your troubles ) .
VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes : I ’ m sure our tweetmeister ( who is a loyal Southerner ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea—probably too numbed even to notice the Confederate reference .
The idea that what the mayors are doing is similar what Jefferson Davis did in the Late Unpleasantness seems very popular : They do n't mean that the Mayor of Portland is a Christian gentleman , or that the other mayors are `` a band of brothers and native to the soil '' as the song says—it just means they 're trying to start a second Civil War .

“These soldiers are disregarding and overriding the elementary rights of American citizens by applying tactics which must have been copied from the manual issued the officers of Hitler’s storm troopers.”

“My fellow citizens, we are now an occupied territory.”

In Portland, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Atlanta and elsewhere, children are not merely being blocked from the schoolhouse door—they’re being killed. They’re being maimed. Citizens are having their property looted and their public spaces destroyed, all with the connivance of local Democratic officials.
And once again, the Democrats are championing states’ rights to protect domestic terrorists.
“Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.”—Nancy Pelosi
Democrats and the media want the federal government to brutally crack down on people who don’t wear masks—whatever the states say—but faced with an actual violent rebellion, the feds are supposed to stand back and let the governors lead!
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler called the federal officers protecting American citizens “an attack on our democracy.” Yes, Orval, Portland is “occupied territory”—just like Little Rock in 1957!
Democrats don’t care that they are mimicking monstrous figures from the nation’s history. They don’t care that they are taking sides with antifa, whose express mission is to kill police officers and destroy America.
Oh, we’ll get away with it. The media won’t report on the violent rioting that the federal government is quelling.
Boy, are they right.
If Faubus had had MSNBC, CNN and the New York Times covering for him, Americans wouldn’t have had the first idea why Eisenhower was sending troops to Little Rock.
Until the feds arrived in Portland last week, the Times’ most expansive description of the riots was this aside in a chipper article about Seattle’s “autonomous zone”: “Perhaps taking a cue from Seattle, demonstrators in Portland, Philadelphia, Richmond, Virginia, and elsewhere have tried to set up protest sites of their own.”
The media pitch the Lesbian Motorcycle Collective as “Portland Moms.”
When reporting on the “protests,” MSNBC and CNN invariably feature some area of Portland far from the carnage, showing people strolling, the sun shining, and not a single building on fire!
You’ll never see the part of the city—a little area called “downtown Portland”—where thousands of black-clad antifa have been laying waste to everything in sight.
You won’t see the miles of charming graffiti spray-painted on every vertical surface: “F—k Cops,” “F—k ICE,” “Abolish America,” “No Good Cops,” “Kill Cops,” “Cops = Bastards,” “Pigs!,” “Yes All Cops,” “Oink, Oink,” “F—ck Trump,” “Kill the Police,” “Dead Cops,” “Pigs,” “Slaughterhouse Die Piggie Die,” “Burn Pigs,” and of course, the antifa slogan, “ACAB,” or “All Cops Are Bastards.”
Trump should say nothing about Portland except: “Look at the videos.” I recommend you start with journalist Andy Ngo’s Twitter feed: @MrAndyNgo.
After hiding the truth for 50 days, this week, Democrats and the media have been gasping in horror at the sight of federal law enforcement agents appearing in such a bucolic little burg.
Here’s some of what’s being hidden from you:
Night after night, the “peaceful protesters” have thrown bombs, bricks, frozen water bottles and cement blocks at the Portland police, whom they vastly outnumber. They’ve fired mortars, marbles, ball bearings and commercial-grade fireworks at officers, sending dozens to the hospital.
They have blinded police with laser guns, slashed their tires, assaulted journalists, and set fire to buildings, statues and homeless people’s belongings.
So far, the rioters have done millions of dollars in property damage. In the first few days of July, shootings were up 240% compared to the same period in 2019.
Portland police precincts and the federal courthouse have been under constant siege—windows smashed and people barricaded inside as the buildings are set ablaze.
Or, as summarized by Ali Velshi on the Antifa Channel: “While most protesters are peaceful, small groups have clashed with authorities.”
Look at the videos.
Once federal officers moved in, the Times finally decided to tell its readers about Portland. For an accurate portrayal of the “protests,” the Times interviewed local reporter Robert Evans, who has tweeted:
“I feel like tonight Portland finally joined the pantheon of cities that are Good At Rioting”
“One of Portland’s lessons for the Left is that, sometimes, if you meet liberals in the right way, they wind up wanting to break down the doors of a federal building with sledgehammers.”
So you know you’re getting the straight poop from one of Portland’s leading antifa cheerleaders.
I don’t care if you haven’t heard about what’s happening in these cities. I don’t care that their governors and mayors don’t think it’s a problem. Unless you’re Orval Faubus, it’s the federal government’s responsibility to quash insurrections and protect the rights of American citizens.
The very reason we have a Constitution (instead of the Articles of Confederation) is precisely to allow the federal government to put down rebellions. It wasn’t a federal school in Little Rock. It’s the president’s job—more vital than randomly bombing Syria!—to suppress domestic insurrections.
This is not the first time Republican presidents have had to deal with terrorist-supporting Democrats. It probably won’t be the last.
