Previously: Stupid Party Hacks Try To Dump Trump, Again. They Will Regret It, AGAIN
President Trump continues to challenge the election, but many in his party are ready to get rid of him. They’re betraying his agenda in Congress, publicly calling for him to concede, and attacking his fraud litigation. They want to reset politics to the pre-Trump era ASAP. And there’s no greater advocate for this than Texas Senator John Cornyn. He epitomizes the GOP absent Trump in all its cuckery. But the base still wants Trump and his nationalist agenda. Can the GOP ignore them?
Three recent bills that Republicans endorsed show this betrayal of Trumpism.
First betrayal: Last week, the Senate passed the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act by unanimous consent—not a single Republican spoke in opposition.
The bill scraps country caps on visas, which would allow Indians to gobble up all our green cards. It’s estimated that at least 90 percent of all professional, employment-based green cards will go to Indians, which is why VDARE.com calls it the Indian Overclass Importation Bill. The measure hurts white collar workers and satisfies Big Tech’s appetite for cheap labor. The utter lack of opposition was a terrible omen for America First GOP/ GAP.
Cornyn co-sponsored the bill.
Second betrayal: the National Defense Authorization Act.
Trump urged Republicans to strike out Elizabeth Warren’s amendment stripping Confederate names from military bases and national cemeteries. He also demanded that his party put in language that would scrap the infamous Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act—which protects tech platforms from publisher liabilities—to protect free speech on the internet. Trump threatened to veto the measure if the bill was not changed. But Republicans refused Trump’s requests and voted overwhelmingly for the cucked version of the bill, in numbers that suggest it may have veto-proof support [Senate overwhelmingly passes defense bill despite Trump veto threat, by Ursula Perano, Axios, December 11, 2020].
Curiously, Georgian Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, both who claim to be strong Trump allies and are desperate for his help, supported the measure. It looks like they won’t fight for Trump if they win their respective Senate races.
Cornyn also backed this betrayal.[Lawmakers vow to override Trump veto of defense bill, by Andrew Desiderio and Connor O’Brien, Politico, December 7, 2020].
Third betrayal: House Republicans’ support for a flood of immigrants from Hong Kong.
The Democrat-controlled House passed the bipartisan “Hong Kong People's Freedom and Choice Act” by a voice vote this week. The act’s lead GOP sponsor: Never Trumper Adam Kinzinger, who voted in 2015 for an Obama plan to let illegal aliens serve in the military. It would grant temporary protected status to Hong Kongers who flee from China, possibly allowing tens of thousands of Hong Kongers to stay in the U.S. for at least 5 years (and likely longer considering the hundreds of thousands of TPS migrants who’ve stayed here for decades). [There Would Be Nothing Temporary About TPS for Hong Kong Residents, by Dan Cadman, Center for Immigration Studies, December 7, 2020]. Of course, it would also potentially allow in Communist agents. Trump has tried to end TPS due to the large number of migrants who exploit the program to permanently settle in America. But now his own party wants to expand it.
These are betrayals while Trump is still in office. This also comes at the same time Trump is rallying his base for the benefit of the Establishment.
But the Georgia rally last weekend sent a clear message that the base cares far more about Trump than a Republican-controlled Senate. They drowned out Perdue trying to speak with “FIGHT FOR TRUMP” chants. Trump drew thousands of people on a cold December day just with his presence. The crowd didn’t care about tax cuts or saving the Senate—they only showed enthusiasm for fighting against election fraud and Open Borders. They loudly booed at the mention of cucked Republican like Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
Remarkably, it appears Perdue and other Republicans ignored that very loud message—even while Purdue’s re-election is very much in danger.
There are many other terrible ideas GOP leaders want to enact when they feel Trump is safely gone. Chief among them is Amnesty—an idea now championed by Cornyn.
This is weird, because the Texas senator opposed it both in 2007 and 2013 . [COLUMN: Secure Borders And Immigration Reform Without Amnesty, Cornyn Senate Website, May 21, 2007, and Cornyn Calls for Stricter Immigration Enforcement, Opposes Amnesty , By Mark Dewey, KUT 90.5, January 30, 2013] He even got into a shouting match with John McCain over the issue in 2007 [McCain, Cornyn Engage in Heated Exchange, by Paul Kane, The Washington Post, May 18, 2007]. In 2013, he pushed an amendment that was designed to kill the Gang of Eight Amnesty [Sen. Cornyn’s border amendment targets immigration reform, by Editorial Board, The Washington Post, June 14, 2013]. He was no Jeff Sessions, but he was much better than the likes of Lindsey Graham and other immigration boosters. Worth noting: his strong stances in 2007 and 2013 may have had to do with the fact that he was running for reelection in 2008 and 2014.
But now Cornyn is almost indistinguishable from Graham on the issue. He is one of the loudest Republicans demanding Congress pass a “permanent solution” (read: Amnesty) for illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. as minors. “They deserve nothing less. These young men and women have done nothing wrong,” he said on the Senate floor in June. “They've defended our freedoms in the United States military.” He repeated in early December that Congress’s first priority in 2021 should be this Amnesty for so-called “Dreamers.” [Republican Sens. John Cornyn, Susan Collins: Start New Year with DACA Amnesty, by John Binder, Breitbart, December 3, 2020].
Cornyn also hints at support for a larger Amnesty and says it’s failure is “one of my biggest disappointments in my time in the Senate”—an obviously absurd statement for someone who fought against it in the past [Biden win revives immigration talk, by Jordain Carney, The Hill, November 17, 2020].
Additionally, Cornyn now strangely backs many Politically Correct virtue signals. He drafted legislation to make Juneteenth, designed to instill more white guilt and black hate for America, a federal holiday. He co-sponsored legislation to create a “Latino” national museum, which he says would correct the “willful neglect” of Hispanic heritage (It was surprisingly blocked by Sen. Mike Lee, who correctly argued we have no need for such a museum). [Cornyn-sponsored bill to build a national Latino museum blocked by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, by Elizabeth Thompson, Dallas Morning News, December 11, 2020]. Cornyn also supports “criminal justice reform” a.k.a. more Race Denial in law enforcement to tackle our nation’s “systemic inequalities” [Senate candidates Cornyn, Hegar discuss stance on Black Lives Matter, by John Tufts, San Angelo Standard-Times, October 12, 2020]
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be proud of Cornyn’s positions.
Cornyn also illustrates how GOP Establishment leaders cannot wait to dispense with Trump. Less than a month before the election, he distanced himself from the president, saying he opposed Trump on wall funding and trade. After the election, Cornyn has insinuated that Trump lost and it’s time to move on [John Cornyn gently pushes back on Donald Trump, by Kelsey Carolan, Texas Tribune, November 19, 2020].
Cornyn more recently undercut Trump’s election challenges, saying his own state of Texas’s election lawsuit was inappropriate because states should not meddle in other states’ business [GOP Texas senator questions 'legal theory' behind Trump's lawsuit, by John Bowden, The Hill, December 9, 2020].
Cornyn—like Mitt Romney and other treacherous Republicans—received Trump’s “complete and total endorsement” in early 2019, ensuring he would be safe from primary challenges.
And, as usual, Trump got nothing in return. It’s a lasting testament to Trump’s failure to build a nationalist coalition within the Congressional GOP that so many of his endorsees stand for everything his 2016 campaign opposed.
The GOP Establishment looks poised to move on from Trump and return to business as usual. Without Trump, the party’s agenda will probably look like Cornyn’s recent priorities—Amnesty, Woke holidays, more capitulations to minority identity politics, and irrelevant honking about the federal deficit. And, of course, tax cuts. As Ann Coulter just Tweeted, echoing Talleyrand on the Bourbon restoration after the French Revolution, “They've learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”
The Establishment’s betrayal of Trump could figure in the 2022 primaries—if Trump gets serious. The president needs to wake up and realize these “allies” are his enemies. He needs to stop seeing the party leadership as the senators who suck up to him on the golf course. He needs to see them embodied as John Cornyn, a squish who cares far more about making deals with Democrats than protecting the historic American nation.
Nationalists have to wait until 2026 to primary Cornyn, but there are plenty of Republicans like him who face re-election in the next election. For example, Adam Kinzinger and Oklahoma Senator James Lankford are two Republicans who need to go.
The best way to ensure that they lose their seats is if Trump builds a political movement independent of the GOP and he begins to endorse those who actually support his agenda.
The base is on Trump’s side—he now needs to fully remake the party in his own image.
He can only do that if he wages war on those who betrayed him.

vdare--2020-12-13--Her Name Is  Caitlyn Kaufman: White Nurse Shot To Death By Black Career Criminal In Nashville, TN

A white nurse named Caitlyn Kaufman was shot to death by a black career criminal named Devaunte Lewis Hill while on her way to work. After a week's detective work, and tips inspired by the promise of a reward, Devaunte is in custody, charged with criminal homicide, Tennessee's catchall term for first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and lesser fatal crimes. This will presumably be a first degree murder.
This is not Devaunte's first crime:
News 2 did some digging and found Hill has an alarming criminal history.
A juvenile record shows Hill convicted on three counts of attempted criminal homicide in 2016 when he was just 16. According to police, Hill’s grandma and mother were trying to wake him up for school when he started firing a handgun. He struck his grandma, 12-year-old sister, and six-year-old nephew.
Hill was taken by DCS [I. E. the Tennessee Department of Children's Services] and returned home in 2017. Two months later, he was arrested for aggravated robbery near his home and returned to DCS until his 19th birthday. In 2018, he was arrested for drug possession. Just this year, he was charged with assault with bodily injury in January, driving on a suspended license in August, and now criminal homicide. Suspect charged in Caitlyn Kaufman murder has lengthy criminal history, by Stassy Olmos, WKRN, December 11, 2020 [Emphases added]
So he committed THREE attempted murders, and didn't go to jail because he was a "child", he committed an aggravated robbery and didn't go to jai because he was still a "child" he was charged with hurting someone in January and released on bail, and when, presumably while out on bail, he was caught driving illegally, it didn't occur to the Nashville police or courts to revoke his bail.
And now a 26-year-old white nurse is dead because law enforcement doesn't want to have a "school-to-prison pipeline" for juvenile gunmen or "mass incarceration" for blacks generally.
This is one more reason they're wrong.

vdare--2020-12-13--Biden Resisting a Cabinet of the Fringes

From the NYT news section:
Biden Faces Intense Pressure From All Sides as He Seeks Diverse Cabinet The pressure on the Democratic president-elect is intense, even as his efforts to ensure ethnic and gender diversity already go far beyond those of President Trump. And it’s coming from all sides. By Michael D. Shear and Annie Karni
Dec. 12, 2020 WASHINGTON — The head of the N.A.A.C.P. had a blunt warning for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. when Mr. Biden met with civil rights leaders in Wilmington this week. Nominating Tom Vilsack, a secretary of agriculture in the Obama administration, to run the department again would enrage Black farmers and threaten Democratic hopes of winning two Senate runoffs in Georgia, the N.A.A.C.P. head, Derrick Johnson, told Mr. Biden. “Former Secretary Vilsack could have a disastrous impact on voters in Georgia,” Mr. Johnson cautioned, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by The Intercept. Mr. Johnson said Mr. Vilsack’s abrupt firing of a popular Black department official in 2010 was still too raw for many Black farmers despite Mr. Vilsack’s subsequent apology and offer to rehire her.
How many black farmers are there? I never hear about any except in relationship to government pandering. This NPR articles says blacks make up 1.34% of farmers in the U.S.
The late baseball slugger Dick Allen came from a Northern farm town, Wampum, PA, but I suspect that contributed to his notorious problems getting along with people, because Northern rural blacks are so rare that they just seem weird to most Americans. Allen, who died recently at age 78 in Wampum, was a fairly high IQ Northern hick black, which is just really rare. He was a pretty interesting individual, but his personality was kind of orthogonal to everybody else’s.
Mr. Biden promptly ignored the warning. Within hours, his decision to nominate Mr. Vilsack to lead the Agriculture Department had leaked, angering the very activists he had just met with.
The episode was only one piece of a concerted campaign by activists to demand the president-elect make good on his promise that his administration will “look like America.” In their meeting, Mr. Johnson and the group also urged Mr. Biden to nominate a Black attorney general and to name a White House civil rights “czar.”
Civil rights and czars just go together …
Did Trump ever appoint anybody the Czar of anything? Or did he think this 45 year old Washington tradition going back to the 1970s Energy Czar seem lame?
The pressure on the Democratic president-elect is intense, even as his efforts to ensure ethnic and gender diversity already go far beyond those of President Trump, who did not make diversity a priority and often chose his top officials because they looked the part.
As opposed to making them look like America?
I’m shocked, shocked to learn that for the administration’s most critical jobs Mr. Biden planned to rely on the same cadre of aides he has had for years.
“Added consternation,” the leader of one advocacy group in Washington said of Mr. Biden’s initial picks. Glynda C. Carr, the president of Higher Heights for America, a political action committee dedicated to electing progressive Black women, said there was a feeling of defeat that Mr. Biden had not awarded key jobs in his cabinet to Black women, as the group had hoped.
How long until the New York Times starts capitalizing the W in “women” when it comes after “Black?” Their rules for capitalization appears insufficiently reverential for the peak of the Intersectional Heap: “Black Women but not white women …”
Susan Rice, a Black woman who was United Nations ambassador and national security adviser in the Obama administration, had been seen as a candidate for secretary of state. Instead, she will become the director of Mr. Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, a position that does not require Senate confirmation. Representative Marcia L. Fudge of Ohio, another Black woman, was passed over for secretary of agriculture, the job she and her allies had pushed for, and instead was nominated to be secretary of housing and urban development. Both the state and agriculture jobs went to white men instead. … Women’s groups were also disappointed by Mr. Biden’s decision to pick General Austin for defense secretary instead of Michèle Flournoy, a longtime senior Pentagon official who had been seen as the leading contender for the job for months. It did not help Mr. Biden’s case with women that he also chose Xavier Becerra, the California attorney general, as the health and human services secretary over Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, who was singled out as a likely candidate for the job just days before she was passed over. Picking General Austin also did not assuage civil rights leaders like the Rev. Al Sharpton, who is adamant about the need for a Black attorney general, or at least someone with a background on voting rights enforcement. … Mr. Sharpton has also been clear about who he will not accept. He said Black activists would not support any position for Rahm Emanuel, the former chief of staff for President Barack Obama whose legacy as mayor of Chicago he condemns because of Mr. Emanuel’s handling of the killing of Laquan McDonald, a Black teenager, in 2014 by a police officer. … As Mr. Biden mulls his choices for interior secretary, a coalition of Democrats, Native Americans, liberal activists and Hollywood celebrities is pressing him to appoint Representative Deb Haaland of New Mexico, a Native American, instead of Senator Tom Udall, Democrat of New Mexico and a longtime friend of Mr. Biden’s.
You know, maybe, Joe wants a Cabinet full of his old pals for if and when the VP tries to get the Cabinet to throw him out under the 25th Amendment?
Joe doesn’t sound happy with AOC’s criticism:

Earlier: It's The 50th Anniversary Of The Martin Luther King Riots—And Will Be For About A Week
Even though murder rates are increasing across the country, there's still some good news.
Last Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Luis Lopez Carrasco to Guatemala. Mr. Lopez had prior convictions for illegal reentry, aggravated robbery, and murder. Sentenced to 99 years for a 1985 murder in Oregon, Lopez Carrasco was released after 35 years, but ICE has prevented him from being released into the US.
On Friday, the FBI announced its capture of Leonard Rayne Moses, a black murderer who had been at large for 49 years. In 1968, during a riot in Pittsburgh after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s death, Mr. Moses and his friends fire-bombed Mary Amplo's house; the 72-year-old white woman died from her injuries a few months later.
In 1970, Mr. Moses received a life sentence. The next year, he was let out to attend his mother's funeral and escaped. For 49 years, he avoided recapture. But earlier this year, the FBI discovered that he was working as a traveling pharmacist in Michigan under the name "Paul Dickson." On Thursday, federal agents arrested him in his home.
Moses today and in 1970
Late last month, a jury in Knoxville, Tennessee found Jacquiz I. McBee guilty of murder. Mr. McBee shot his white girlfriend, Jessica Davis, and then made "several incriminating Google searches," including "killing someone while on probation." He was on probation for Aggravated Assault for shooting at Jessica Davis' car while she was in it. When sentenced in January, he will face a minimum of 51 years and a maximum of life in prison.


vdare--2020-12-14--Patrick J. Buchanan: Has America's Suez Moment Come?

2020 will surely qualify as an "annus horribilis" in the history of the Republic.
By New Year's, one in every 1,000 Americans, 330,000, will be dead from the worst pandemic in 100 years. The U.S. economy will have sustained a blow to rival the worst year of the Great Depression.
And by the end of December, much of the nation will be back in lockdown, with Joe Biden repeatedly predicting a "dark winter" ahead.
Only at the apex of World War II has the U.S. deficit and debt been so large a share of our economy.
In the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, the summer of 2020 produced riots the extent of which rivaled the week after the murder of Martin Luther King in 1968.
Also revealed by the BLM uprising of 2020 was an unknown depth of hatred many U.S. citizens have for their country's history, as they pulled down and smashed statues of men once revered as the greatest leaders—Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lee, Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson.
By year's end, tens of millions were denying the legitimacy of the designated president-elect, who was to take office on Jan. 20. Both parties were charging the other with trying to "steal" the presidency.
Can a nation so distracted, so divided, so at war with itself continue to meet all of the duties, obligations and commitments that are ours as the self-proclaimed "leader of the free world"? Are we still the people and country we used to be?
While we tear ourselves apart, we remain obligated to defend nearly 30 nations of Europe from Russia. We are committed to ostracizing and isolating Iran and going to war if she should seek to build nuclear weapons like those held by her neighbors Israel, Pakistan, India, Russia and China.
Why is this our duty?
We are strategically "pivoting" to Asia to contain a China that is the rising power of the new century and whose economy and armed forces rival our own, while its population is four times larger.
If South Korea is attacked by the North, or Japan or the Philippines find themselves fighting China over rocks in the South and East China seas, we are obligated to treat any Chinese attack as an attack upon us.
Three decades ago, historian Paul Kennedy used the term "imperial overstretch" to describe what happens to great powers when their global commitments become too extensive to sustain.
This happened to the British at the end of World War II when, bled, broken and bankrupted by the six-year war with Germany, she began to shed her colonies. In the fall of 1956, Prime Minister Anthony Eden, Churchill's foreign secretary, was ordered by President Eisenhower to get his troops out of Suez under an American threat to sink the British pound.
The British Empire was finished.
The imperial overstretch of the Soviet Empire was exposed from 1989 to 1991, with the withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Iron Curtain. The captive nations of Eastern Europe broke free. The USSR then disintegrated along ethnic and tribal lines into 15 nations.
Its diversity tore the Soviet Union apart.
On Dec. 2, at Brookings Institution, joint chiefs chair Gen. Mark Milley said: "There's a considerable amount that the United States expends on overseas deployments, on overseas bases and locations, etc. Is every one of those absolutely, positively necessary for the defense of the United States?" The Defense Department, Milley added, must "take a hard look at what we do, where we do it."
In a separate talk at the United States Naval Institute, the chairman added that U.S. permanent basing arrangements are "derivative of where World War II ended."
Indeed, NATO was formed and its war guarantees were issued to Western Europe in 1949, seven decades ago. War guarantees to South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and Australia were all issued from 1950 to 1960.
These commitments to go to war for other nations were issued when Stalin was in the Kremlin, a 400,000-man Red Army sat on the Elbe in Germany, and Mao and his madness had just come to power in Peking.
How long must we sustain all these alliances and soldier on in the "forever wars" of the Middle East? Do we Americans still have the national unity, sense of purpose, and disposition to sacrifice for the cause of Western civilization we had in the early days of the Cold War?
Or has our own Suez moment arrived?
President Trump did not extricate us from the "forever wars," but he did draw down our troop levels in Afghanistan and Iraq. And he did raise the question of how many more decades must we defend a rich Europe from a declining Russia that has a fourth of its population and a tenth of its wealth.

vdare--2020-12-14--This Day In VDARE.com History, 2016: Dept. of Oops: Another Muslim Hate Hoax

Originally published here on VDARE.com on this day in 2016.
From Slate on December 4, 2016:
“NY Subway Riders Stand By as Three Men Verbally Assault Muslim Teenager,” Dec. 4, 2016: Three white men who were apparently intoxicated repeatedly yelled anti-Islam insults at a Muslim student in the New York City subway and no one did anything. The men, who yelled “Donald Trump!” several times and even tried to pull off the terrified 18-year-old’s hijab, also accused her of being a terrorist. This all took place at around 10 p.m. on Thursday night on the 6 train as Yasmin Seweid was returning home from Baruch College. “I heard them talk, but I had my headphones in, I wasn’t really listening, I had a long day. And they came closer and I distinctly heard them saying, ‘Donald Trump,’ ” she told the local CBS affiliate. Although there have been a spate of racist incidents across the United States since the election, this one was particularly shocking because it happened in New York and it seem no one tried to step in to help Seweid. This marks the latest in a growing wave of these types of incidents in New York and across the country (Slate is compiling a running list). From Nov. 8 through Nov. 27, New York law enforcement officials said there were 34 reported incidents, compared with 13 in the same period last year.
From Slate on December 14, 2016:
NYPD Says Story About Muslim Teenager Being Verbally Assaulted on Subway Is a Hoax By Daniel Politi Update, Dec. 14, 2016: Nearly two weeks after what appeared to be a horrifying incident on the New York City subway, the NYPD announced that the apparent hate crime never happened, and Muslim teenager Yasmin Seweid made up the story that she was harassed by three drunk white men on the subway who shouted Trump slogans and tried to pull off her hijab. The 18-year-old has been charged with filing a false report and obstructing governmental administration.
From the NY Daily News today:
The police source said criminally charging her was appropriate. “This isn’t something we normally like to do but she had numerous opportunities to admit nothing happened and she kept sticking by her story,” the source said. “We dedicated a lot of resources to this — and don’t get me wrong, this is what we do — but we had guys going back and forth, looking for video and witnesses. And we couldn’t find anything. “Nothing happened — and there was no victim.” It wasn’t immediately clear what Seweid hoped to gain by lying to police.
I dunno … She’s an 18 year old girl … What do 18 year old girls like? Attention? Their picture being taken? Social media likes? Praise? Pity? Hurting people they don’t like? Doing what their culture tells them to do? Attention?
Since the concept of “hate hoax” still doesn’t exist in the minds of the mainstream media, the odds of getting in trouble for lying are small as long as you are crafty like Jackie Coakley and Don’t Talk to the Cops.

vdare--2020-12-14--Fauci Trying To Sell Vaccine To Blacks By Giving ALL The Credit To Kizzmekia Corbett

Earlier: Shouldn't They Just Make the Movie About How Kizzmekia Corbett Will Invent the Vaccine Right Now?
The apparently successful development of the vaccine is a massive American project like the Panama Canal, the atomic bomb, and the moon landing. All projects that involve people in the tens and hundreds of thousands, and you can't really give any one man the credit.
However, traditionaly Theodore Roosevelt is considered the man behind the Panama Canal, FDR is the man who assigned the Manhattan Project, and John F. Kennedy is the man who sent America to the moon.
And of course, Operation Warp Speed is the responsibility of President Donald Trump...who won't get credit.
However, Anthony Fauci, aware that blacks aren't very responsive to public health and vaccination campaigns, because of years of anti-white hate propaganda, is trying to give a lot of the credit to Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett:
Dr. Anthony Fauci Appeals to Black Community: ‘The Vaccine That You’re Going to Be Taking Was Developed by an African American Woman’ https://t.co/98gxR03LW3 pic.twitter.com/QPt51ekzCc — The Root (@TheRoot) December 11, 2020
Fauci, speaking at a National Urban League event on Tuesday, acknowledged the history behind African American distrust of medical research and the American health care system, reports CNN. But the epidemiologist also emphasized that the two forthcoming coronavirus vaccines are both safe and effective, drawing attention to Dr. Corbett’s involvement in the process. “The very vaccine that’s one of the two that has absolutely exquisite levels—94 to 95 percent efficacy against clinical disease and almost 100 percent efficacy against serious disease that are shown to be clearly safe—that vaccine was actually developed in my institute’s vaccine research center by a team of scientists led by Dr. Barney Graham and his close colleague, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, or Kizzy Corbett,” Fauci said. “So, the first thing you might want to say to my African American brothers and sisters is that the vaccine that you’re going to be taking was developed by an African American woman,” he continued. “And that is just a fact.” Dr. Anthony Fauci Appeals to Black Community: ‘The Vaccine That You’re Going to Be Taking Was Developed by an African American Woman', by Anne Branigin, The Root, December 10, 2020
Fauci is seriously pandering here, with his "history behind African American distrust" and pandering again with his "close colleague".
Dr. Barney Graham, a white guy, is head of a group of which Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett (a Ph.D, but a real doctor) is one unit. She is a lead coronavirus researcher--she's also a major anti-white racist. See Lead NIH coronavirus researcher suggested pandemic could be 'genocide', said doctors would let blacks die, By Gregg Re, Alex Pfeiffer, Fox News, Apr 17, 2020, which is a Tucker Carlson episode of about some of her bizarre Tweets.
When Trump held a meeting with his coronavirus task force in January, CNN, looking at the photo of the people at the meeting wrote Coronavirus task force another example of Trump administration’s lack of diversity, CNN.com, January 30, 2020.
We responded with CNN: Fewer White Faces Is More Important Than Stopping a Global Pandemic:
The Washington Post discussed her Tweeting in a largely laudatory article that said:
On Feb. 27, Corbett posted a tweet that lamented the lack of diversity on President Trump’s coronavirus task force: “The task force is largely people (white men) he appointed to their positions as director of blah blah institute. They are indebted to serve him NOT the people.” And, as public health officials were reporting startling data that showed that the virus was disproportionately killing African Americans, Corbett vented on Twitter. “I tweet for the people who will die when doctors has to choose who gets the last ventilator and ultimately … who lives,” she wrote March 29. When someone responded that the virus “is a way to get rid of us,” Corbett replied: “Some have gone as far to call it genocide. I plead the fifth.” Kizzmekia Corbett spent her life preparing for this moment. Can she create the vaccine to end a pandemic?
This 34-year-old African American woman scientist is a rarity. But with increased visibility comes increased scrutiny. by Darryl Fears, May 6, 2020
That came with a statement from an academic who said that “I don’t think there’s anything she said that’s outlandish that goes against any type of code or standard” which of course is only because she's black and attacking whites as potential genociders.
That inspired Steve Sailer to write Shouldn't They Just Make the Movie About How Kizzmekia Corbett Will Invent the Vaccine Right Now?
Well, the vaccine has been invented—by her, and of course many others as well.
John Derbyshire wrote in April in response to Tucker Carlson's Fox News segment that:
Dr. Corbett, a black lady, is (a) a key researcher in the NIH effort to find a coronavirus vaccine, and also (b) crazy-level woke, with a long Twitter trail hate-hate-hating on white men and alleging a conspiracy by us to commit genocide against blacks. That puts us up against the interesting question: Is it possible to do high-quality work in hard science while holding nutty beliefs about social and political issues? Probably it is: Several first-rank mathematicians have been borderline crazy in that way. It is none the less the case that any white person holding such extreme opinions about other races would be unemployable in today's USA, whatever his scientific talents. In a fair society—one that did not privilege any one race over any other—either he would not be unemployable, or Dr. Corbett would be.
If her contribution was vital, it would have been lost if she'd been fired for hate speech—something that rarely happens to black females. That vaccine may wind up saving my life, although I know that's not her priority, so it would be a shame to lose it.
How much have we lost from all the white, male, scientists who've been fired for wrongthink? It must be a lot.


vdare--2020-12-14--Peak Wokeness? White Boxer Deemed "Racist" for Knocking Out Black Opponent

We have reached a point where a white pugilist competing against a black pugilist must immediately capitulate, because of the color of the formers skin.
Welcome to 2020 America!
Political correctness has reached such an extreme of absurdity that it is considered racist for a white guy to punch a black guy — even in a boxing match. Jemele Hill, formerly of ultrawoke ESPN, suggested during an interview that white boxer Jake Paul is racist for knocking out black opponent Nate Robinson.
Via Breitbart:
Paul appeared on the show Hill co-hosts with Cari Champion, called Cari & Jemele (Won’t) Stick to Sports, in which the two regularly mix politics with sports.
During the interview, Hill asked Paul, “Considering where we are right now in our racial conversation in America, was what you did to Nate Robinson racist?”
“That is the question of the week,” Champion chirped before Paul answered.
At first, Paul couldn’t believe they were serious. But they persisted. Hill asserted that “it’s a sensitive time right now, we just had to witness a white man knock out a black man smooth out in front of all of America, and that’s why I asked that.”
Then Champion asked him the same question. To his credit, Paul failed to denounce himself for racism.
[B]efore moving on to other topics, Champion accused Paul of not being “woke” enough and refusing to be part of the “conversation.”
Liberals must not have eradicated the last vestiges of sanity, because Hill got enough public flak that she was forced to fall back on the lame “Can’t you tell I was only kidding” defense.
In the future, white boxers will be required to stand with their hands at their sides while black boxers pummel their faces. Even if this fails to create racial harmony, it will at least provide masturbatory material for Democrats.


vdare--2020-12-14--Trump: What's the Matter with Minnesota?

Earlier: Minnesota Nice, Democratic Party 2020 Style: "F*** Your Motherf***ing Peace, White Racist Motherf***ers!”
To mourn George Floyd, BLM and Antifa rioters backed by the Democratic leadership of Minnesota burned down much of business districts of Minneapolis. Similar but but not quite as expansive wanton destruction was wreaked upon the Wisconsin cities of Kenosha, Madison, and Milwaukee. But the Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who ran a personality-free campaign from his basement, wound up eking out a narrow win in Wisconsin and a sizable win in Minnesota, much bigger than in 2016.
Why?
One analyst attributes this to a difference in cultural preferences between two types of seemingly similar white Protestants of working and middle class status: British vs. Germanic-Nordic. The latter don’t like the former’s tradition of braggadocio, which goes back to Andrew Jackson and before.
Trump carried much of Andrew Jackson's coalition of Southerners and Northern working class, although, in his boastfulness and American folk hero appeal, he reminds me of Davy Crockett, who was a Whig foe of Jackson. — Steve Sailer (@Steve_Sailer) December 14, 2020
Boastfulness is a big part of British-American deep folk culture: see the tales of Davy Crockett and Mike Fink, an Ohio keelboat operator around 1800.https://t.co/az06c0QtrR pic.twitter.com/V6tW6M25Fi — Steve Sailer (@Steve_Sailer) December 14, 2020
Now Southerners are of course Protestants too, but not really in the European sense. The religion is too loud and charismatic; it has too much personality for a Scandinavian or a German to feel comfortable. It’s fundamentally a Protestant spinoff. — Uriah (@crimkadid) December 14, 2020
Minnesota was the only state lame enough to vote for Rubio. Iowa and Wisconsin went for Cruz and Ohio was a Kasich victory with Trump winning all the Southern, Appalachian counties with lots of Old Americans. — Uriah (@crimkadid) December 14, 2020
I can’t find a line from a Garrison Keillor short story about a Minnesota minor league baseball announcer who confides in the young G.K. to the effect that “Norwegians refuse to be entertained.”

vdare--2020-12-14--Populism Not Dead Yet! Dutch Immigration Patriot Thierry Baudet Bounces Back

The Dutch populist anti-immigration leader Thierry Baudet has beaten back a media-orchestrated coup attempt that (not for the first time in the Netherlands) stampeded his more cucked followers. After a tumultuous two weeks, 75% of the members of the Forum for Democracy Party (FvD) voted to keep Baudet as leader. Despite Main Stream Media gloating, [Is reckless populism fading with Trump's defeat?, By Gwynne Dyer, Jerusalem Post, December 14, 2020]populism and nationalism are still alive post-Trump.
The coup attempt began in late November, when the Leftist Volkskrant newspaper published texts from an app group of the Party’s Youth Wing. The posts were characterized as “homophobic”, “anti-Semitic” and “right wing extremist”. The Dutch media focused its attack on the chairman of the Youth Wing, Freek Jansen [ Onrust bij Forum over racisme en antisemitisme in jongerenclub, by Frank Hendrickx, November 22, 2020 ] Several media outlets trumpeted that Jansen had organized a meeting between Thierry Baudet and—Shock! Horror! “white nationalist” Jared Taylor in 2017. [Freek Jansen, de radicale rechterhand van Baudet , by Roelf Jan Duin, Het Parool, November 24, 2020]
The Party’s Board of Directors met the next day to demand Freek Jansen’s resignation. Annabel Nanninga [Tweet her] the Forum’s prominent representative on the Amsterdam City Council, even demanded that the whole Youth Wing be disbanded [Baudet under fire as row in FvD over racist messages erupts on social media, DutchNews.nl, November 23, 2020]. The implication of that demand was obvious. Baudet and Jansen are close. If the one went, the other would follow.
Baudet’s reaction to the coup attempt stunned both the media and his rivals within the party. In the first place, he underscored his loyalty to Freek Jansen with a public, warm support at the emergency party top meeting. He defended the app group as a place where members could push the limits of a political discussion.
In the second place, he announced that he was willing to resign as party chairman and not stand for the Parliamentary elections next March. [Baudet stapt op als lijsttrekker Forum voor Democratie, Joop, November 23, 2020]But this turned out to be a clever political move. It mobilized the base of the party. Baudet’s opportunistic opponents could not produce an alternative leader. Baudet then asked for a referendum. He won it handily.
Of course, the attempted coup has obviously damaged the Party. A host of Forum for Democracy representatives in the European Parliament, the Dutch Upper Chamber and provincial legislatures have declared themselves independent [ Dutch populist Baudet wins vote to remain party leader , theeagle.com, December 4, 2020]. But the base remains solidly behind Baudet.
Thierry Baudet is not as well known outside the Netherlands as Geert Wilders, leader of the largest immigration, patriot party in the Dutch Parliament. Wilders has been an important player in Dutch politics since his “Party for Freedom” won nine seats in the 2006 Parliamentary elections. After the assassination of immigration patriot Pim Fortuyn in 2002, Wilders took up the same themes which have dominated Dutch politics since: opposition to the Islamization of Dutch society, a moratorium on immigration, particularly Muslim immigration, and a harsh crackdown on criminality among Moroccan and Turkish young men. Wilder has suggested that the Netherlands leave the European Union and the Euro. He has opposed cuts in social services and social security. In general, Wilders describes his Party as a right-wing Liberal party aiming to preserve the free, secular society of the Netherlands.
Baudet and Wilders hardly differ on any of these policies. But the attraction of Thierry Baudet is more a function of timing and style. Wilders is seen as a crass Trumpian figure who has built a charismatic, largely working-class movement rather than a disciplined party. Baudet is a smoother operator with appeal to the educated elite and ambitions to build a more conventional political organization. Paradoxically, it is this difference in style that has made Baudet more feared by the Dutch political Establishment.
Baudet burst onto the Dutch political scene in 2016 when he organized a referendum opposing the treaty between the European Union and Ukraine Netherlands rejects EU-Ukraine partnership deal, BBC, April 17, 2016]. Two thirds of the Dutch voters said No to the treaty. A year later his new party, Forum voor Democratie (FvD), won two seats in the Dutch Parliament [ Officiële uitslag Tweede Kamerverkiezing 15 maart 2017, Kiesraad.nl, March 21, 2017]. And in 2019, Forum became the largest party in the Dutch Upper Chamber by sweeping the provincial elections[ Bekijk hier de uitslagen van de Provinciale Statenverkiezingen 2019 , Trouw, March 21, 2019].
Opinion polls taken prior to the Covid outbreak showed Baudet winning 25 seats in the 2021 elections, effectively guaranteeing it a place in the next government[Kiezers keren Forum voor Democratie de rug toe: 7 zetels verlies in De Peiling, by Petra Klapwijk and Gijs Rademaker, EenVandaag, March 9, 2019]. By 2020, the FvD had 45,000 members, making it the largest political party in the Netherlands[ Forum voor Democratie partij met meeste leden, Nos.nl, January 27, 2020].
It is Baudet’s style which accounts for his dramatic success and the hostility of the Dutch elites.
In the first instance, Thierry Baudet is the role model for what the Dutch want in a politician. The 37-year-old is single, handsome, quick witted and very charismatic. He has his PhD in law from Holland’s most prestigious university in Leiden. He gave part of his Parliamentary maiden speech in Latin. His writings and speeches are filled with illusions to classical antiquity and Dutch history. The Dutch like to think that their political leaders know policy and poetry. Baudet actually does.
Second, Baudet has connected with the concerns of middle-class Dutch. He is a skeptic of the European Union and the Euro. He argues that the ruling coalition’s “global warming” plans represent an elitist project which hurts ordinary Dutch[ 5 things to know about Dutch far right’s new figurehead, by Eline Schaart, Politico, March 25, 2019]. In recent weeks, he has spoken out against further Covid lock downs and wearing masks. Baudet has even announced he won’t be taking the Covid vaccine, because he trusts his own body to deal with the virus.
Mirroring Geert Wilders, Baudet opposes further immigration particularly, Muslim immigration. He has also been unafraid to talk about elite’s plans to “replace” the Dutch population with foreigners.
What worries the elites most is Baudet’s vision. Geert Wilders is a very effective parliamentary leader, unafraid of political brawling. But in contrast, Baudet speaks grandly about saving Western Civilization. That vision involves dethroning the ruling elites, scaling back the European Union and getting rid of the Euro. It involves ending Muslim immigration. But he has more issues in mind.
Thus in an article in American Affairs, Baudet suggested that most women would be happier staying at home with their children rather than going to work each day [Houellebecq’s Unfinished Critique of Liberal Modernity, Summer 2019]. Baudet’s thinking goes beyond tax rates. It is a vision that Baudet can articulate to both intellectuals and a broader public.
Above all, Baudet’s style has allowed him to appeal to the Dutch Middle classes by looking respectable. This in turn allowed him to attract a serious group of educated and experienced Dutch politicians who saw him and his party as the socially acceptable alternative to Wilders. [ The New Face of the Dutch Far-Right, by Thijs Kleinpaste, Foreign Policy, March 28, 2019]
That is something the globalist Dutch elites fear. But it is also the Achilles heel of the Forum for Democracy.
Geert Wilders and his Party members have had 15 years to get used to being treated as pariahs. They all know that if they are elected for office for the Party for Freedom that they will be shunned by neighbors and attacked in the press.
But a sizable number of Baudet’s people bolted at the first major media-driven assault on the “respectability” of the party.
What now? What does this hold for the elections scheduled for March of 2021?
Interestingly, the Dutch immigration patriot leader Pim Fortuyn faced a similar crisis just three months before the general election of May 2002. Fortuyn had agreed to head the Livable Netherlands party, with immigration as the focus of the campaign. But in early February of 2002, Fortuyn gave an interview to the very same Volkskrant newspaper in which he said he wanted to close Dutch borders to all Muslim immigration and perhaps change the laws on discrimination. The Livable Netherlands party fired him the next day [Fortuyn komt met eigen lijst, opzet vermoed achter ontslag, Volkskrant, February 12, 2002].
Fortuyn reacted by forming the “List Pim Fortuyn”. And even after Fortuyn’s assassination—by an immigration enthusiast, it emerged after a prolonged period of MSM repression—the LPF won 26 seats, becoming the second largest party in Parliament. The “Livable Netherlands” party won just two seats.
Baudet is in a similar position. He has three months to reorganize for the March 2021 parliamentary elections. He knows which who was loyal and who was not. That will allow him to put together a list of candidates who won’t turn and run at the first negative article in Volkskrant.
He has the solid support of the base of the party. Above all, he has the vision which has brought him this far. The major issues of immigration, Islamization, the European Union and the Euro are not going away.
In this regard, Thierry Baudet—and Geert Wilders too—are not going away either.

In April 2018, Hill was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and in May 2018, Hill was charged with failure to be booked. In January 2020, Hill was arrested and charged with assault that resulted in bodily injury and in August 2020, Hill was charged with driving on a suspended license.
We aren’t supposed to notice, as no corporate media outlet documents their lives. How they lived, and ultimately how they died.
Those who do are digitally tarred and feathered, deemed “racist” for engaging in pattern recognition.
Her Name is Caitlyn Kaufman.
Were white privilege/systemic racism/implicit bias/or the need for the grotesque Black Lives Matter movement real, you’d never be free of hearing of the name of Caitlyn Kaufman or how she died. Or the black career criminal who randomly murdered her.
Instead, you get a clear cut case of black privilege in the silence surrounding her murder.

The Erasure of American Indians

From the New York Times : Native Americans continue to be culturally marginalized in a 21st Century America that has grown bored with them .
America used to celebrate its proud Indian heritage , but now we appear to be embarrassed by them .
Hence , sports teams that were named in honor of their masculine ferocity are having their names memoryholed .

From the New York Times:
Cleveland’s Baseball Team Will Drop Its Indians Team Name The decision comes amid a wider push for sports teams to stop using Native American names and imagery as team names and mascots.
Native Americans continue to be culturally marginalized in a 21st Century America that has grown bored with them. America used to celebrate its proud Indian heritage, but now we appear to be embarrassed by them. Hence, sports teams that were named in honor of their masculine ferocity are having their names memoryholed.
Part of what is going on is of course the rewriting of the American past in line with today’s anti-white racist mythology. It is assumed that any white reference to Indians in the past must have been demeaning, when in reality whites, once they were free of the danger of being scalped by Indian raiders, quickly began to mythologize Indians as a worthy foe.
Another aspect is that white admiration for Indians, who fought the white man for 250 years and refused to be enslaved, makes the long submission of the black man look bad.
And I wonder if the push to remove memories of America’s rich Indian legacy is being done in part in deference to the rising and already vastly more influential New Indians?

In any case: good work, men.
The friends say among their concerns is the fact that the woman, named only as “Jackie” in the article, gave them a cellphone number so they could text a man she said she was seeing around the time she alleged she was gang-raped at a fraternity house.
Eventually, the friends ended up with three numbers for the man. All are registered to Internet services that enable people to text without cellphone numbers but also can be used to redirect calls to different numbers or engage in spoofing, according to multiple research databases checked by The Washington Times.

The U.S. Census Bureau released the most common surnames in the U.S. according to the 2010 Census. As reported at the Daily Caller, six of those surnames are Spanish:
Six Hispanic surnames were among the top 15 common last names in 2010, according to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau Thursday [December 15th]. Census: Lopez, Hernandez And Gonzalez Among Most Common American Surnames, By Alex Pfeiffer, Daily Caller, December 15, 2016

Smith, Johnson and Williams remained at #1,#2, and #3 respectively throughout all three lists.
The Daily Caller article also contains this information:
The Census Bureau also released the last names with the largest increase in frequency of use from 2000 to 2010. These are in descending order: Zhang, Li, Ali, Liu, Khan, Vazquez, Wang, Huang, Lin, Singh, Chen, Bautista, Velazquez, Patel, and Wu. There were fewer than 50,000 Zhangs in the United States in 2000 and now there are nearly 100,000. Nearly one in four newborn Americans are the children of immigrants and despite much focus on Latin America immigration, India, China, and the Philippines were among the top countries of origin for immigrants to the U.S. between 2010 to 2014.
Also on the topic of surnames, I invite readers to see my previous article entitled What's In A (Sur)Name? Plenty, If You're Planning An Amnesty .
Back in Britain, Smith is still the most common surname in England and Scotland. In Greater London, however, Smith is #2, edged out by Brown. But the third most common surname in Greater London is Patel, an Indian (primarily Gujarati) surname. Khan is #10, Ali is #17, and Rodriguez is #23.
