Trump's remaking of the Supreme Court for constitutionalism may well be the crown jewel of his presidency.

On the other side would sit the three liberals: 82-year-old Stephen Breyer and Barack Obama appointees Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
If Chief Justice John Roberts envisioned a Roberts Court where he would be the swing vote for 4-4 deadlocks, deciding every such case himself, his dream could be about to vanish.
If Barrett is confirmed, the new court becomes "The Five," with its youngest, newest and most charismatic member, a 48-year-old protege of Justice Antonin Scalia, its brightest and rising star.
Consider the credentials of the jurist Trump just named.
Barrett was summa cum laude at Notre Dame Law School, graduating first in her class. She clerked for Scalia, taught law at South Bend for 15 years and has served for three years on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
She is a non-Ivy League, Middle American and a devout Catholic and mother of seven, including a special needs child and two adopted children from Haiti. Almost universally, former classmates and colleagues, liberals among them, praise her temperament, brilliance and scholarship.
America's court wars, in which the coming battle over Barrett's nomination may prove decisive, go back half a century.
It was begun in June 1968, as Richard Nixon, victorious in his party's primaries, was moving inexorably to the GOP nomination in Miami Beach and very possibly on to the presidency of the United States.
Chief Justice Earl Warren, an old adversary of Nixon's from California days, was not happy with this. A report in the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Warren "is said to feel that Richard Nixon—regarded as the GOP's likely presidential nominee—would be bound to appoint a new Chief Justice pledged to overturn recent court decisions guaranteeing constitutional rights of criminals."
Nixon sent the clipping to me with a note: "Buchanan: Why doesn't (Strom) Thurmond send this to Southern papers—opinion leaders."

Warren would announce his resignation as chief justice and would make acceptance contingent upon Johnson's nominee to succeed him being confirmed. And that nominee would be Justice Abe Fortas, a court ally of Warren and longtime crony of LBJ. All three were in on it.
When Fortas was confirmed, his vacant seat as associate justice would then be filled by Federal Judge Homer Thornberry, also an ally of Johnson's going back to his Texas days.
Thus would Nixon be preempted, the liberalism of the high court guaranteed, and the Warren Court succeeded for another decade by the Fortas Court.
When LBJ named Fortas, Nixon went silent. But GOP Senators Robert Griffin, John Tower and Howard Baker moved to block Fortas' ascent. They used an argument familiar to us today.

Now comes Amy Coney Barrett's turn.
If Senate Republicans stay united, then they can realize a victory that generations of their GOP predecessors had hoped to see.

vdare--2020-09-30--Ann Coulter On The Debate: Is Chris Wallace a White Supremacist?

After four months of looting , arson , window breaking , vandalism , intimidation , physical assaults , stabbings and shootings by Black Lives Matter and antifa , the first thing on the media ’ s mind is … getting Trump to condemn “ white supremacists ” !
It would be as if , on the morning after Pearl Harbor , the League of Nations demanded that FDR condemn American aggression in the Pacific .
Why on earth was Trump being badgered by both debate moderator Chris Wallace and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to denounce “ white supremacy ” ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked to condemn the nonstop violence by antifa that actually has been consuming the country for more than 100 nights now ?
Wallace to Trump : “ Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups ?
” Trump ( perfectly accurately ) : “ Sure .
I ’ m willing to do that .
But I would say almost everything I ’ m seeing is coming from the left wing , not the right wing.
” The media ’ s position on the murderous BLM and antifa riots has gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peaceful protests !
to The rioters are white supremacist Trump supporters !
Who thinks white supremacists are a major force in America ?
There haven ’ t been any two people in 50 years who ’ ve gotten together and said , “ Aren ’ t whites way better ?
Shouldn ’ t we rule over other people ?
” “ White supremacy ” is a bogus concept invented on college campuses .
There are white men who do horrible things , just as there are Asian men and black men who do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t represent any kind of kind of organized movement .
You know what ’ s an organized movement ?
Antifa—Rose City Antifa , Antifa Seven Hills , Antifa Sacramento , Atlanta “ Antifascists ” and so on .
They ’ re organized well enough that hundreds , sometimes thousands , of antifa members always know exactly when and where to show up , and what weapons to bring .
Then they turn around and celebrate the destruction they ’ ve wrought ( unpunished by Democratic mayors and liberal district attorneys ) .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , out beyond the coastal cities , there ’ s a scary world of pickup trucks being driven by men with long-barreled guns trying to re-enact “ Roots.
” ( And they shop at Walmart ! )
When Trump tried to bring up Pearl Harbor—i.e.
, the actual violence , as opposed to liberal imaginary violence—Wallace cited Kenosha .
REMINDER : After two nights of looting and arson by “ peaceful protesters ” in Kenosha in response to the police shooting of a knife-wielding black man resisting arrest , a group of men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Our Lives and Property ” did just that .
One of the men , Kyle Rittenhouse , shot three antifa as they were attacking him , killing two , in a clear case of self-defense .
That ’ s Wallace ’ s big example of right-wing violence : an armed citizen defending himself .
The left wants antifa to rule our cities , with no pushback from uppity Americans .
Trump ’ s more addled debate partner , Joe Biden , threw in the Proud Boys—without correction by Wallace , whose entire career @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for NBC .
Burning down police precincts , knocking statues off their pedestals , smashing windows , looting and vandalizing stores , stopping cars and demanding the drivers pledge allegiance to BLM , banging drums outside of politicians houses late into the night—was it the Proud Boys doing any of that ?
Why are we talking about the Proud Boys at all ?
How about asking the Sierra Club to renounce violence ?
Forget about the last 100 days of mind-boggling left-wing violence , let ’ s open it up to all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ big crime ?
Is there a single instance of the Proud Boy staging an unprovoked attack on anyone — ever ?
The absolute worst thing you could say about the Proud Boys is : Too macho !
They fight back .
Fine , join the Democratic Party if testosterone isn ’ t your thing .
The nation ’ s leading anti-American and anti-Christian hate group , the Southern Poverty Law Center , calls them “ white supremacists , ” meaning , “ anyone we don ’ t like and can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hate outfit hates ?
Dennis Prager .
The Alliance for Catholic Tradition .
Christian Ministries .
The National Prayer Network .
The claim is especially delusional in the case of the Proud Boys , who have black members , Asian members and Latino members .
The Los Angeles branch of the Proud Boys is about half Mexican .
One of the founders is married to a black woman , with whom he has a biracial child .
The entire point of the Proud Boys is for men to be masculine and defend the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It has nothing whatsoever to do with “ white supremacy.
” But , again , liberals call anyone they don ’ t like and can ’ t refute “ white supremacists.
” You know why the media and Democrats hate the Proud Boys ?
Because they are America ’ s last line of defense against the left ’ s fascistic antifa storm troopers .
Often , they are the only ones protecting us when the police are outnumbered or have been ordered to stand down by Democratic mayors and police chiefs .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was trying to convey with his typically garbled : “ Proud Boys , stand back and stand by , but I ’ ll tell you what … somebody ’ s got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem.
” ( If I ’ m wrong , then two men with Secret Service protection are throwing the rest of us to the wolves and I ’ m sitting this election out . )
The Proud Boys should sue Biden and Wallace for defamation .
The universities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supremacist ” into the worst thing any human can be—worse than “ murderer , ” “ drug dealer ” or “ child molester.
” To falsely accuse an organization of being “ white supremacist ” ought to be considered defamation per se .
If you want to destroy something , is there a better way to do it than labeling it “ white supremacist ” ?

Last weekend , the Proud Boys staged a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oregon finally declared a “ state of emergency.

This is the position of the media and the Democratic Party : Antifa must be allowed to run riot without interference from anyone .
We ’ ve liberated antifa from district attorneys and mayors and now we ’ ll liberate them from individual Americans .
Therefore , anyone who defends the innocent from psychotic left-wing violence will be cursed as a “ white supremacist.

Earlier By Ann Coulter: Trump Wins "Disavowal" Game, Then Super Tuesday
After four months of looting, arson, window breaking, vandalism, intimidation, physical assaults, stabbings and shootings by Black Lives Matter and antifa, the first thing on the media’s mind is … getting Trump to condemn “white supremacists”!
It would be as if, on the morning after Pearl Harbor, the League of Nations demanded that FDR condemn American aggression in the Pacific.
Why on earth was Trump being badgered by both debate moderator Chris Wallace and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to denounce “white supremacy”? And why wasn’t Biden ever asked to condemn the nonstop violence by antifa that actually has been consuming the country for more than 100 nights now?
Wallace to Trump: “Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups?”
Trump (perfectly accurately): “Sure. I’m willing to do that. But I would say almost everything I’m seeing is coming from the left wing, not the right wing.”
The media’s position on the murderous BLM and antifa riots has gone from What riots? They’re peaceful protests! to The rioters are white supremacist Trump supporters!
Who thinks white supremacists are a major force in America? There haven’t been any two people in 50 years who’ve gotten together and said, “Aren’t whites way better? Shouldn’t we rule over other people?”
“White supremacy” is a bogus concept invented on college campuses. There are white men who do horrible things, just as there are Asian men and black men who do horrible things. But they don’t represent any kind of kind of organized movement.
You know what’s an organized movement? Antifa—Rose City Antifa, Antifa Seven Hills, Antifa Sacramento, Atlanta “Antifascists” and so on. They’re organized well enough that hundreds, sometimes thousands, of antifa members always know exactly when and where to show up, and what weapons to bring. Then they turn around and celebrate the destruction they’ve wrought (unpunished by Democratic mayors and liberal district attorneys).
But in Chris Wallace’s demon-haunted imagination, out beyond the coastal cities, there’s a scary world of pickup trucks being driven by men with long-barreled guns trying to re-enact “Roots.” (And they shop at Walmart!)
When Trump tried to bring up Pearl Harbor—i.e., the actual violence, as opposed to liberal imaginary violence—Wallace cited Kenosha.
REMINDER: After two nights of looting and arson by “peaceful protesters” in Kenosha in response to the police shooting of a knife-wielding black man resisting arrest, a group of men calling themselves “Armed Citizens to Protect Our Lives and Property” did just that. One of the men, Kyle Rittenhouse, shot three antifa as they were attacking him, killing two, in a clear case of self-defense.
That’s Wallace’s big example of right-wing violence: an armed citizen defending himself. The left wants antifa to rule our cities, with no pushback from uppity Americans.
Trump’s more addled debate partner, Joe Biden, threw in the Proud Boys—without correction by Wallace, whose entire career at Fox has been an audition tape for NBC.
Burning down police precincts, knocking statues off their pedestals, smashing windows, looting and vandalizing stores, stopping cars and demanding the drivers pledge allegiance to BLM, banging drums outside of politicians' houses late into the night—was it the Proud Boys doing any of that?
Why are we talking about the Proud Boys at all? How about asking the Sierra Club to renounce violence?
Forget about the last 100 days of mind-boggling left-wing violence, let’s open it up to all of history! What is the Proud Boys’ big crime? Is there a single instance of the Proud Boy staging an unprovoked attack on anyone—ever?
The absolute worst thing you could say about the Proud Boys is: Too macho! They fight back. Fine, join the Democratic Party if testosterone isn’t your thing.
The nation’s leading anti-American and anti-Christian hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, calls them “white supremacists,” meaning, “anyone we don’t like and can’t refute.” You know who else this hate outfit hates? Dennis Prager. The Alliance for Catholic Tradition. Christian Ministries. The National Prayer Network.
The claim is especially delusional in the case of the Proud Boys, who have black members, Asian members and Latino members. The Los Angeles branch of the Proud Boys is about half Mexican. One of the founders is married to a black woman, with whom he has a biracial child.
The entire point of the Proud Boys is for men to be masculine and defend the innocent, something like the Guardian Angels. It has nothing whatsoever to do with “white supremacy.” But, again, liberals call anyone they don’t like and can’t refute “white supremacists.”
You know why the media and Democrats hate the Proud Boys? Because they are America’s last line of defense against the left’s fascistic antifa storm troopers. Often, they are the only ones protecting us when the police are outnumbered or have been ordered to stand down by Democratic mayors and police chiefs.
I believe that’s what Trump was trying to convey with his typically garbled: “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by, but I’ll tell you what … somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem.” (If I’m wrong, then two men with Secret Service protection are throwing the rest of us to the wolves and I’m sitting this election out.)
The Proud Boys should sue Biden and Wallace for defamation.
The universities and media have successfully turned “white supremacist” into the worst thing any human can be—worse than “murderer,” “drug dealer” or “child molester.” To falsely accuse an organization of being “white supremacist” ought to be considered defamation per se. If you want to destroy something, is there a better way to do it than labeling it “white supremacist”?
In Portland, there have been mind-bogglingly destructive antifa riots every night for more than 100 days now. Last weekend, the Proud Boys staged a rally in Portland—and the lunatic governor of Oregon finally declared a “state of emergency.” (It was a lovely gathering with no arson or looting.)
This is the position of the media and the Democratic Party: Antifa must be allowed to run riot without interference from anyone. We’ve liberated antifa from district attorneys and mayors and now we’ll liberate them from individual Americans. Therefore, anyone who defends the innocent from psychotic left-wing violence will be cursed as a “white supremacist.”

On Twitter I noted these two stories, one about a wrongthinking Baltimore white guy who shot but didn't kill, a black man who had hit him with a concrete come along rake with the sentence for two black teens who killed a white man at a county fair.
Brandon Higgs, right, was involved in fight with two blacks (Smith and Peete, below) laying concrete near is his house and
was accused of pushing Smith, who pushed him back. Smith then hit Higgs with what’s called a come-along, a rake used to smooth concrete. At some point, Higgs drew a gun and a tussle ensued, with Peete hopping into the melee to help Smith. As they wrestled, Higgs’s gun fired once, sending a bullet tearing through Smith’s leg, shattering his tibia. Smith and Peete then beat, disarmed and restrained Higgs until police officers arrived.
A concrete come-along rake looks like this:
5 foot handle, 20 inch blade, if a police officer used something like that on rioters, they'd hang him. But even assuming Higgs is in the wrong, and not in any way a legitimate self-defence case, the reason he's been sentenced to 25 years in jail is because he's accused of comitting a hate crime. First, because the alleged victims said he called them an alleged epithet, and second because he was "was found to have links to white supremacist groups during the investigation, according to John Magee from the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office. "
Here are the "links": "Police also uncovered evidence of Higgs participating in racist conversations online, the prosecutor said. "
The other case I noted was this, the murder of John Weed, a 59-year old white man by two black teens, who beat him to death for no reason, and spat on him as he lay dying. They got probation for killing (but not shooting) a man—because the authorities didn't care if they had "racist conversations online".
Judge Gives Teen “Anger Management” After He Murdered a 59-Year Old White Man at the County Fair, Revolver, August 17, 2020
18 years ago, the late Sam Francis wrote
The original concept behind "hate crimes" was that they would expose and penalize and help root out the "white racism" and "hatred" that supposedly permeate American society, and even today those who push them complain that there are far more hate crimes than are really counted by the police (they're not talking about hate crimes against whites, like the one in New York). But what hate crime laws have really done is expose the blatant double standard, the injustice and the transparent anti-white racism that the self-proclaimed "enemies of hate" have entrenched in our laws and increasingly, through the media, into our minds.

The interruption mess that was last night's presidential debate had Trump squaring off with Biden over Antifa and the Proud Boys.
As expected, Trump's non-denunciation of "white supremacists" resulted in the usual point-and-sputter (though I swear I heard him mutter, "sure, sure" when asked if he would).
It was a satisfying moment for me—particularly when he correctly noted that violence is a left-wing, not a right-wing, problem.
But alas, he wouldn't say the W-word.
On the subject of his executive order ceasing "racial sensitivity" training—he could only say it was bad "if you were a certain person."
That "certain person," of course, being a WHITE person.

vdare--2020-09-30--Michelle Malkin: Who's Funding Shady Ballot Harvesting Schemes?

Last week , while on a business trip in Wisconsin , I learned about an insane ballot harvesting scheme that appears to be tied to a deep-pocketed liberal advocacy group subsidized by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg , Google , the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and eBay former chairman Pierre Omidyar 's Democracy Fund .
Conservative talk radio host and grassroots activist Vicki McKenna blew the whistle after hearing ads played during her daily show on 1310 WIBA .
`` Last week on my radio program , we played Biden campaign ads , '' she told me .
`` They were all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . '
It was an advertisement about how Madison , Wisconsin , would have 200 parks hosting ballot harvesting events . ''
The ads were punctuated by a disclosure that they were `` paid for by Joe Biden for President . ''
On Saturday , Sept. 26 , as advertised by the Biden campaign , Madison poll workers turned out across the city to register voters and collect absentee ballots , even though in-person absentee ballot collection is not supposed to start until two weeks before Election Day , according to Wisconsin state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listeners showed up to photograph the city government workers ' activities promoted by the Biden for President campaign .
The poll workers stuffed ballots into `` red zipper bags with no security whatsoever .
The poll workers witnessed people 's ( blank ) ballots , just like you would if you did an in-person absentee ballot , threw them in the red zipper bags , and we do n't know what 's become of these ballots since , '' McKenna told me .
Imagine sheaves of ballots carelessly stuffed into cheap , canvas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them being carted away by unknown drivers to unknown locations for unknown reasons .
Observers captured photos of several stuffed red bags being loaded into an unmarked white van parked outside Madison 's municipal government building .

” Grants are to be used to encourage alternatives to in-person voting , “ voter education and outreach efforts , ” “ early in-person voting ” and vote by mail — all tactics being deployed by anti-Trump , “ color revolutionary ” forces to drag out the election long past Election Day .

On Saturday, Sept. 26, as advertised by the Biden campaign, Madison poll workers turned out across the city to register voters and collect absentee ballots, even though in-person absentee ballot collection is not supposed to start until two weeks before Election Day, according to Wisconsin state election law. Several of McKenna's listeners showed up to photograph the city government workers' activities promoted by the Biden for President campaign.

The poll workers witnessed people's (blank) ballots, just like you would if you did an in-person absentee ballot, threw them in the red zipper bags, and we don't know what's become of these ballots since," McKenna told me.
Imagine sheaves of ballots carelessly stuffed into cheap, canvas, pizza delivery-style totes. Then imagine them being carted away by unknown drivers to unknown locations for unknown reasons. Observers captured photos of several stuffed red bags being loaded into an unmarked white van parked outside Madison's municipal government building.
“It’s clear from legal analysis: this is not legal and does not comport with Wisconsin election law,” McKenna argues. “There’s some serious questions about (Democratic) campaign coordination with the city of Madison.”
Now, enter a shady entity called the “Center for Tech and Civic Life.” It just so happens that this nonprofit “election reform advocacy group,” based in Chicago and founded in 2012, has showered more than $6 million in the five largest cities in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin. In July, using COVID-19 as a pretext to boost mail-in and absentee voting, the center released the following amounts to governmental grantees:
City of Milwaukee: $2,154,500.
City of Madison: $1,271,788.
City of Green Bay: $1,093,400.
City of Kenosha: $862,779.
City of Racine: $942,100.
According to the Center for Tech and Civic Life’s website, they fielded over 1,100 applications from across the country for their purported “COVID-19 Response Grant Program” to “provide funding to U.S. local election offices to help ensure they have the critical resources they need to safely serve every voter in 2020.” Grants are to be used to encourage alternatives to in-person voting, “voter education and outreach efforts,” “early in-person voting” and vote by mail—all tactics being deployed by anti-Trump, “color revolutionary” forces to drag out the election long past Election Day.
There is nothing “nonpartisan” about this enterprise. The Center’s top staff (many of them Barack Obama campaign tech gurus) come from a now-defunct liberal nonprofit called the New Organizing Institute, whose far-left donors include George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation and Atlantic Philanthropies. CTCL director Tiana Epps-Johnson is a former Obama Foundation fellow. The center received $250 million from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

Earlier , from Steve Sailer on Rwanda : East Africa 's Tall Vs.

Doesn ’ t that sound absurd ?
But skin color is just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caste privilege .
Actually , there is a country where the dominant caste is the same color as the subordinate caste , but the ruling class is taller .
For example , here are two of the president ’ s children with former NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg : Read the whole thing there .

Granted, Bloomberg is not very tall. Michelle Obama is tall, however, and yet:
Still, the dominant caste in this country that was much in the news in 1994 is so extraordinarily tall that the president’s daughter, who lists her height as 6’4″ or 6’5″, was able to recently find a rich husband, mentioned in the Panama Papers, who is considerably taller than her:

So what does this article, showcasing the vast majority (disproportionate amount) of mass shootings in America happen in majority-black communities, leave out? See if you can find it.
This summer’s Rye Day celebration in Syracuse, New York, almost ended — as it had the past 14 years — without a hitch. The event, a public birthday party hosted by a local business owner and philanthropist, drew hundreds of residents to an outdoor performance space on June 20 on the city’s Near West Side, where they ate and drank, registered to vote, and escaped the various pressures of the pandemic.
But then a scuffle broke out. A Facebook Live stream shows a girl dancing, then noticing the commotion. “It’s a fight,” someone remarks, off camera. “Time to go.” The girl in the video agrees, playfully, but her concern escalates. The music stops. People scream. The crowd scatters, and the video turns into a whir of bodies and grass. Seconds later, more than a dozen gunshots ring out.
“It was chaos,” said Nitch Jones, a local youth pastor who was at the center of the crowd. “You had wounded individuals, wounded friends, family members, associates on the ground, all crying out for help. People experiencing someone who looks like they’re dead. People experiencing trauma for the first time.”
At the scene, Jones rushed to help the wounded. He spotted a body lying motionless on the asphalt. It was a boy who had been shot in the head. Jones helped calm the boy’s family until paramedics arrived, and wheeled his body to an ambulance. Photos from the aftermath show a woman standing in a haze of red light from the vehicle’s sirens. She’s barefoot, wearing a shirt with the words “Proud Mom” emblazoned on its back.
Her son, Chariel Osorio, had graduated from high school earlier that day. He was 17 years old. Less than a week later, he died of his injuries in a hospital bed.
Osario and the eight victims wounded in the Rye Day shooting are among more than 320 people killed and over 1,600 injured in mass shootings so far in 2020, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive. What constitutes a “mass shooting” varies between government agencies and groups like Gun Violence Archive, which defines the incidents as any with four or more people wounded. Our analysis of Gun Violence Archive data found a total of 395 mass shootings as of August 24, an almost 45 percent increase over the same period last year. If the pace holds, this year’s total will be the highest tally since the organization began tracking shootings seven years ago.
The mass shootings have disproportionately occurred in predominantly Black neighborhoods. Nearly 50 percent of the shootings analyzed by The Trace took place in majority-Black census tracts, though less than 10 percent of census tracts nationally have majority Black populations. The pattern held in almost every city that has had more than five mass shootings in 2020. In Chicago, for example, 31 out of 36 shootings with four or more victims happened in majority-Black census tracts. In Detroit and Milwaukee, each of which saw five mass shootings, all of them occurred in majority-Black neighborhoods.
Every act of violence shocks the conscience, but the public setting of many mass shootings renders them acutely horrifying. People pursuing an activity presumed safe – going to church or school or the store, putting in a workday, enjoying a night out – suddenly confront a barrage of bullets. The ensuing media coverage stirs public mourning and donations. Activists and Democratic politicians cry for reform. But when a gunman in a dispute kills or injures multiple bystanders in a predominantly Black or Latinx community, the bloodshed is written off by some journalists, politicians, and onlookers as predictable, endemic to the neighborhood and therefore not worthy of the same sympathy.


vdare--2020-09-28--Why So Little Media Push To Fight the Risks Of COVID By Losing Weight?

Like Wikipedia , the New York Times keeps a list of COVID fatalities in its continuing “ Those We ’ ve Lost ” feature .
Wikipedia ’ s metric for inclusion is whether the victim had already had a Wikipedia page , while the NYT picks people for its own reasons , including that they are notable for how young they died .
So the latter is a more “ curated ” list than Wikipedia ’ s .
Even so , a look through the NYT ’ s photos is enlightening : How many famous people who have died of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be in the primes of their careers ?
https : //t.co/LtdV25kxCW — Steve Sailer ( @ Steve_Sailer ) September 28 , 2020 The NYT runs a “ Those We ’ ve Lost ” feature about all the famous people who have been struck down … but , on average : A .
They aren ’ t all that famous B .
Most were old and/or sickly and thus well-past their career primes : For example , here ’ s the first name on the NYT ’ s list : These databases of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statistics : this is a bad disease for the old , sickly , and obese , but it ’ s not exactly wiping out a rising generation of talent that would have contributed so much to America ’ s future if not for their dying young .
The NYT tries to put younger victims toward the top of its Those We ’ ve Lost list .
One obvious pattern is that many seem overweight in their photos .
Why has there been so little push to get Americans to lower the risk of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all , losing weight not only helps you not die of coronavirus , it helps you avoid diabetes , heart attacks , etc .
etc .
So why no weight loss promotion , especially compared to , say , the fanatic media effort this summer to uphold the sacred right of black criminals to resist arrest without anything bad happening to them , which , objectively speaking , might not seem quite as high of a national priority during a health crisis ?
If the media scared 50 percent of Americans into losing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID , that would likely increase life expectancy for the whole country on average more than the virus reduces it .

Wikipedia’s metric for inclusion is whether the victim had already had a Wikipedia page, while the NYT picks people for its own reasons, including that they are notable for how young they died. So the latter is a more “curated” list than Wikipedia’s.
Even so, a look through the NYT’s photos is enlightening:
How many famous people who have died of COVID were still healthy and young enough to be in the primes of their careers?https://t.co/LtdV25kxCW — Steve Sailer (@Steve_Sailer) September 28, 2020

If the media scared 50 percent of Americans into losing 10 pounds to reduce their risk from COVID, that would likely increase life expectancy for the whole country on average more than the virus reduces it.
