” Drudge , of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why does the rest of the Main Stream Media , and the medical Establishment , want to suppress a possibility that could relieve fears around the world : that the Coronavirus disproportionately impacts , and perhaps only kills , East Asians ?
Taking the exact opposite tack to me , CNN Medical Talking Head Dr. Sanjay Gupta [ Tweet him ] recently asserted that Corona “ doesn ’ t discriminate based on race .
Why do we ?

But why does the rest of the Main Stream Media, and the medical Establishment, want to suppress a possibility that could relieve fears around the world: that the Coronavirus disproportionately impacts, and perhaps only kills, East Asians?
Now read on.
Taking the exact opposite tack to me, CNN Medical Talking Head Dr. Sanjay Gupta [Tweet him] recently asserted that Corona “doesn’t discriminate based on race. Why do we?”

And this is perfectly sensible if the virus doesn’t discriminate based on race, because if you have been at the epicenter of the Corona outbreak, no matter what your race, then you could carry this deadly disease into the US, and it has an equal chance of impacting every US citizen.
Except, of course, as I have been saying for weeks, the disease apparently does indeed discriminate by race. There are long-recognized race differences in the susceptibility to flu-like viruses, which is why the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic was far more devastating to Native Americans and Maoris than it was to whites (although Spanish flu, unlike Coronavirus so far, did kill a lot of other races).

“We reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit.”
“Little public health benefit”? If Corona really doesn’t discriminate based on race, then the public health benefits of banning people coming from areas where the virus is rife from entering the US would obviously be enormous. From a utilitarian perspective, they would more than outweigh the negative impact of trade disruption and a few Chinese people having to hear unpleasant remarks about bat consumption.
There’s only one way these restrictions would have “little public health benefit” and would unjustifiably interfere with “international travel and trade”—if Corona is only fatal to Northeast Asians, and merely gives the overwhelming majority of Americans who caught it an irritating case of winter flu.
If that were the case–which it appears to be–then the head of the WHO might well question the wisdom of a travel ban.
While, naturally, being unable to be honest about why.
CDC director Redfield’s fears, quoted by Zero Hedge, that the disease will become a “community virus” endemic in U.S. is quite compatible with that: it may be confined to Chinese immigrant communities.
Similarly, there was a flurry of headlines last week that an “American woman” had died of Corona in Wuhan e.g., [US citizen dies of Wuhan virus in first confirmed non-Chinese fatality, By Youyou Zhou, Quartz, February 8, 2020]. However, the Quartz story added:
Scott Gottlieb, former head of the US Food and Drug Administration, told CNBC, “We will see more cases in the US and a lot will be undetected.” He added, however, that he did not expect an epidemic-level crisis in America.
How could Gottlieb be so sure there would be no epidemic in the U.S? Perhaps partly because this virus, like all such viruses, becomes less virulent as it transmits away from the epicenter. But more important: Perhaps because there simply aren’t that many East Asians in the US—that is people who are likely to be severely affected by Corona—and they’re not going to pass it on to other Americans.
It can't be emphasized enough that the 60-year-old American who died in Wuhan was not, despite the implication of the Quartz headline, descended from people arrived on our shores in the Mayflower. She did not have a collateral ancestor who was hanged at Salem. She bears no hereditary guilt for her ancestors having held slaves in South Carolina. According to CNN:
The US Embassy in Beijing confirmed a 60-year-old American national had died on Thursday at the Jinyintian Hospital in Wuhan, while the Chinese government offered condolences for the death of “a Chinese-American.” [China has deadliest day for coronavirus as US national becomes first foreigner to die, by Lily Lee and Joshua Berlinger, CNN, February 8, 2020].
The Chinese government may be one of the most secretive in the world. But, fortunately, when it comes to “race” they are an honest to a degree that should Americans public officials and journalists blush. And China’s honesty only confirms that this is not a virus from which white people die.
Coronavirus looks like a rerun of SARS. And quite how the fact that SARS only killed East Asians has escaped people’s attention is worth considering in this new context.
Kevin MacDonald has argued that if the social pressure, and social benefits, are strong enough then we can force ourselves—through a process called “effortful control”—to believe that lies are true and to blind ourselves to facts which are not consistent with the worldview which it is to beneficial accept [Effortful Control, Explicit Processing, and the Regulation of Human Evolved Predispositions, by Kevin MacDonald, Psychological Review, 2008].
It only goes to show how pathological our taboo on “race” has become. Race denial is so strong that possible race differences in the incidence of a disease cannot be mentioned, or even suggested.
If we want to avoid future suffering, panic and death—whether due to viruses or whatever else—we must be like the Chinese, able to talk frankly about race.
Those who would stop us from doing so—such as Angela Saini, and perhaps Sanjay Gupta—are literally a danger to humanity itself.

Second teen arrested in Tessa Majors murder named as Rashaun Weaver
By Rebecca Rosenberg, Larry Celona, Ruth Weissmann and Olivia Bensimon
New York Post February 15, 2020 | 11:44am | Last Updated 2:50 p.m.
Rashaun Weaver, 14, was busted in the lobby of the Taft Houses in Brooklyn at 10:30 p.m. Friday night — and will be tried as an adult on two counts of murder, NYPD brass and the Manhattan district attorney’s office said at a noon presser at police headquarters in lower Manhattan.
Majors, 18, played a pivotal role in cracking the case — it was her courageous fight for her life that ultimately helped cops nab her alleged killer, authorities said.
Weaver was tied to DNA recovered from underneath Majors’ fingernails as she clawed and scratched at her assailants, prosecutors said.
“What we can do is say that we are confident that we have the person in custody who stabbed her,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said. “And that person will face justice in a court of law.”
Weaver is the second of the trio to be busted in connection with the Dec. 11 murder that stunned the city for its senselessness and brutality — magnified by the young ages of the assailants. None were over 14 years old, police said.
The group tried to rob the budding musician, who struggled with her assailants until one of them stabbed her multiple times, authorities contend.
Zyairr Davis, 13, was nabbed and charged with felony murder days [N.S.: correction: one day] after the attack.
Davis told cops that he saw the Barnard first year student get butchered.
“He saw feathers come out of her jacket, and all three of them ran out of the park … and they went home,” a detective said at the time.
During the mugging, a witness heard a male voice say, “Gimme your phone. You got some weed, gimme that too,” the criminal complaints alleges.
Weaver confessed to police that Majors’ was “hanging onto her phone” during the struggle, according to a recorded statement.
That’s when he “hit” her with the knife, Weaver told cops.
The witness then heard Majors scream, “Help me, I’m being robbed!”— her last known words, according to Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance.
“The allegations are really laid out in heartbreaking detail. The complaint paints a picture of video evidence, blood evidence, smartphone evidence, iCloud evidence, the witness identification, and the defendants’ own statements that were rigorously collections and examined prior to this indictment,” Vance said.
A grand jury has been in session for three weeks reviewing evidence against the two teens in the robbery gone wrong—including a knife believed to be the murder weapon, law enforcement sources said….
“He’s a 14 year old child [sic] and he’s presumed not guilty,” his lawyer, Elsie Chandler, told The Post outside court.
Weaver, who has no previous arrests, was held without bail and will be held at a juvenile detention facility until his next court date on Feb. 19.

01—Intro. And Radio Derb is on the air! Greetings, listeners, from your intermittently genial host John Derbyshire.
Possibly under the influence of Charles Murray's new book, which I reviewed here at VDARE.com the other day, this week's podcast delves into issues of sex, race, and class. First, though, the election news.
02—Sell Biden, buy Klobuchar. You heard it here first. Well, actually, you heard it first from The Economist, from whom I was quoting back in March last year to this effect, re-quote:
In 2018, when she was re-elected as one of Minnesota's senators, she performed vastly better in the state than Hillary Clinton did two years earlier … Mrs Klobuchar is the opponent Mr Trump would least like to face.
End quote.
I said at the time that Senator Klobuchar was being talked up, quote, "as a safe pair of hands with good electability." How sweet those words sound today in the ears of Democratic Party bosses! They are desperately hoping for a candidate who fits that description: not tinfoil-hat crazy like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, not a sexual eccentric with a paper-thin resumé like Peter Buttigieg, not a billionaire carpetbagger like Michael Bloomberg.
Klobuchar has got to be the DNC's dream candidate. She's a middle-class Midwesterner with a good, unblemished track record in both local and national politics. She's been married twenty-odd years to a person of the other sex.
Her political positions are those of her party. Some of them may seem wacky to you and me, but they're the party's positions, and they sound sober compared to some of the stuff we've heard from her fellow candidates. In any case, she carries herself with enough of an attitude of Midwestern practical good sense that you have to suspect she doen't believe the really crazy stuff.
She's talking open borders, for example. However, like Bernie Sanders she is on record quite recently as taking a somewhat more sensible point of view.
"Quite recently" was actually 2006, during her first run for the Senate. Here was Amy Klobuchar taking audience questions at a televised debate in the Minnesota state senate that year.
[Clip
Audience member: Ms Klobucher, Thursday President Bush signed a law approving a 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexican border. Is a fence good immigration policy or just good politics?
Klobuchar: I do believe that we need more resources at the border and that that includes a fence. What we have now, we have people waiting to come in legally—thousands of people waiting to come in legally to this country, and we have people coming in illegally. That's not right. We need to get order at the border.
But we also have to stop giving amnesty to companies that are hiring illegal immigrants. Under this administration the number of prosecutions of companies has gone way down. That has to change.
Then finally, I believe that we need to give people who have been in this country for a number of years, who are willing to pay their taxes, who are willing to learn English, who are willing to pay the fines, the chance for earned citizenship.
Nothing has happened for the last six years on this issue. It has been all talk, and that has to change. We need some action.]
Now you can say, and I wouldn't altogether disagree with you, that this was just boob bait for the bubbas. This was 2006, in the era of George W. Bush immigration flim-flam, when politicians were starting to hear rising discontent with the failure to enforce immigration laws. They came up with a form of words to smother that discontent—"fence on the border," "pay their taxes," "path to citizenship," and the rest.
It was all bogus. No politician of any party truly intended any action on immigration. Then as now, the congressweasels were all bought and paid for by the cheap-labor lobbies.
Pay their taxes? How do you compute taxes on someone who's been paid cash under the table for ten years?
Path to citizenship? What's wrong with the path we have—lawfully acquire permanent residence, wait out the waiting period, then apply for citizenship? It worked for me.
Yes, Congress did pass the 2006 Secure Fence Act, but the actual appropriation of funds and the actual building of the fence was slow and lackadaisical. The fencing itself was half-hearted and makeshift; it had basically no effect on illegal crossings.
That's not the main point, though. A nice Midwestern lady in 2006 had given no more than ten seconds' connected thought to immigration issues. The boob bait for the bubbas was handed to Ms Klobuchar by some staffer, and she just read it off.
That's the kind of candidate party managers like! Nowadays they're handing her different stuff to read off, and she is obediently doing so, with a thoughtful and confident approach that doesn't scare the horses over in the corporate-donor corral. "A safe pair of hands with good electability."
I note from the betting averages shown at Real Clear Politics that Amy Klobuchar's numbers took a sharp upward turn last week and look set fair to pass the plummeting numbers for poor Joe Biden any day now. Ms Normal rises as Mr Normal falls.
[Permalink]
03—Making war against reality. While I'm in Minnesota, here's a quote from an online news and opinion outlet there, MinnPost.com. This is from January 14th, quote:
Minnesota has a persistent problem with race. The Twin Cities is one of the most racially segregated metropolitan areas in the nation. The state's racial financial wealth gap is the worst in the nation. The racial incarceration gap is among the worst. There is a persistent health care outcomes disparity that is among the worst in America. Among so many measures Minnesota ranks among the bottom when it comes to racial issues. The same is true with K-12 education.
End quote.
In the matter of education at least, Minnesota is on the case. What are they going to do about those pesky education achievement gaps? They're going to make them illegal—in fact, unconstitutional!
Yes folks: Two authority figures in the Gopher State, one a former state Supreme Court justice and the other president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, these two big playahs are pushing for an amendment to the state constitution to guarantee all children the fundamental right to a quality public education. Problem fixed!
If you've listened to Radio Derb much you'll know how much I enjoy reporting on these education stories, especially when they concern the race gap in test scores. Nowhere in our public life is the blind clueless stupidity of race denialism in plainer sight.
There is proverbially nobody nicer than Midwesterners; and taking the opposite of "nice" to be "naughty," there is nothing naughtier than race realism.
Well, the hell with that. Here's some race realism. Those test score gaps are rooted in biology. That is why, after decades — decades—of educational theorizing and fiddling, untold trillions of dollars spent, they remain stubbornly on display.
And here are these two authority figures in Minnesota setting out to fix the problem at last—at last!—with a constitutional amendment. That bespeaks a quite breathtaking faith in the power of words. If you don't like some aspect of reality, pass a law to say it ain't so.
There are precedents. Mathematicians tell you it's impossible to square the circle? Pass a law to say they are wrong. This was actually tried in Indiana in 1897, although the state Senate scotched the bill. The legislation would have made the mathematical constant pi equal to precisely three and one-fifth, rather than the 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679 … and change it actually is.
"If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out," says the good book. The folk who run Minnesota have improved on that: If reality offends you, pass a law. That'll fix it!

04—Bloomie commits heresy. In the matter of race realism, Michael Bloomberg's campaign hit some nasty turbulence this week.
Bloomie was of course mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013. In 2015, in a speech to the Aspen Institute for which I can't find a good-quality audio, he said the following thing, quote:
Ninety-five percent of your murders—murderers and murder victims—fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male minorities, 16 to 25. That's true in New York. That's true in virtually every city.
End quote.
Well, duh. Everybody knows that's true, and the numbers support it. Blacks and Latinos are only 51 percent of New Yorkers, but they perform 93 percent of the homicides, and so on. While every nonblack person knows this, though, and lives his life accordingly—staying out of black neighborhoods as much as possible, sending his kids to schools with as few blacks as possible—to say it out loud is seriously taboo.
Good citizens are supposed to practice doublethink, defined by Orwell as:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them …
We all know that blacks and Latinos—blacks most particularly — commit a massively disproportionate amount of crime. At the same time we don't know this. We know that it is a vile slander put about by white supremacists. We believe both things simultaneously … if we know what's good for us.
Just as Bloomie was trying to babble his way out of this he took another hit. In September 2008, just as the great financial crisis was getting up a head of steam, he'd given a talk at Georgetown University in which he said that the collapse of rational credit standards in mortgage lending was to blame. Quote:
It all started back when there was a lot of pressure on banks to make loans to everyone … Redlining, if you remember, was the term where banks took whole neighborhoods and said, "People in these neighborhoods are poor, they're not going to be able to pay off their mortgages, tell your salesmen don't go into those areas."
End quote.
Again, the efforts by politicians from the Carter administration onwards, much accelerated under George W. Bush, to kill off proper credit standards in mortgage lending surely did leave a great many people, disproportionately black and Latino, living in houses they couldn't finance. But again, while we all know that, it is seriously taboo to say it out loud.
Bloomie compounded the offense by speaking approvingly of redlining. That's a trigger word for the race denialists. In the religion of Anti-Racism, redlining is a major heresy. To praise it is to put yourself outside the pale of right-thinking people. Bloomie might as well have said that Emmett Till got what was coming to him.
So now Bloomie's in bad odor with the priests of Anti-Racism and their congregations. Who are those people, though? How many of them are black? Next segment.

05—How blackety-black-black are American blacks? Black voters, as we all think we know, and as the current crop of Democratic Presidential candidates seem to believe, vote their blackness. Is that really the case, though?
Noah Rothman over at Commentary magazine puts forward some contrary data. Sample quotes:
When Gallup surveyed the landscape, following a 2016 Supreme Court case that affirmed the constitutionality of using race and ethnicity to make college admissions decisions, non-Hispanic blacks were by far the most hostile toward the decision. Only 35 percent approved of the ruling. Fifty percent disapproved of colleges using admissions criteria that were not based on merit alone …
a 2015 Kaiser Family Foundation survey found that only 52 percent of black respondents backed slavery reparations …
A March 2019 Pew survey showed that … seventy-five percent of black Americans cited "racism" as one of the most pressing matters before policymakers, but a similar 72 percent cited "violent crime"—well ahead of how their white and Hispanic counterparts view the issue. This disparity could explain why, according to the latest national survey of Democrats via Quinnipiac University, Mike Bloomberg secures the support of a staggering 22 percent of black primary voters, just behind Joe Biden's 27 percent.
End quote.
That Quinnipiac poll, I should say, came out February 10th, the day before Bloomie was exposed as having stepped on the race-and-crime third rail. Still, Rothman's numbers got me wondering about a thing I wonder about a lot: Just how much of blacks' political behavior is shaped by racial solidarity? All right, I know, the answer is "a lot." But how much?
Follow me through a little thought experiment, please.
Let's start with Prof. Amy Wax's op-ed promoting bourgeois values, which caused much pointing'n'sputtering when it appeared in August 2017. Here are some of the values Prof. Wax (and her co-author Larry Alexander) sought to promote. Quote:
Get married before you have children and strive to stay married for their sake. Get the education you need for gainful employment, work hard, and avoid idleness. Go the extra mile for your employer or client. Be a patriot, ready to serve the country. Be neighborly, civic-minded, and charitable. Avoid coarse language in public. Be respectful of authority. Eschew substance abuse and crime.
End quote.
Let's suppose we can quantify those values—give to every adult citizen an aggregate score measuring how well he practices those values, or how badly he fails to. And let's suppose we could draw a bright horizontal line such that citizens who score above the line could be described as "worthy," those who score below it as "trash."
Now let's go out into the field and do a major survey involving many thousands of self-identifying white Americans, scoring them all. What would be the proportions, white worthies and white trash?
I don't know the answer, of course; but I grew up in public housing around a lot of poor people, some of them definitely white trash, and I've subsequently lived a long and varied life, mostly among whites, in many many places. I'm going to hazard a guess that white worthies outnumber white trash in today's U.S.A. about four to one. Put it another way: eighty percent of our white population are worthies, twenty percent are trash.
So far, so good. Now let's go back out into the field, and let's do the same survey among self-identifying black Americans. What would be the proportions, black worthies to black trash?
I'm on less secure ground here. I have only a couple of times, briefly, lived in black neighborhoods. Most of what I know about American blacks has been observed at some distance. I'm pretty sure, though, that the proportions are different for blacks. I'd guess that black worthies, practicing bourgeois values, are down around fifty percent, sixty percent max, while black trash is forty or fifty percent.
Circling back round now to political behavior, the question arises: How do black worthies feel about black trash?
I know, from private conversations, and from watching comedians like Chris Rock, that feelings are not necessarily warm. Middle-class black worthies are just as keen to get away from black trash as I am to get away from white trash.
On the other hand, some big subset of black worthies have graduated from college and so have their heads filled with grievance flapdoodle about evil whites keeping the black man down. They're going to vote racial loyalty, however much they dislike the black trash on the other side of town.
I suppose psephologists—poll-watchers and election experts—have some clear idea about the numbers here, but I really don't. I'm just wondering aloud.
Could Donald Trump take a big bite out of the black vote in November? The answer depends on the kind of thing I've just been wondering about. Also of course on who gets the Democratic Party nod. Against Michael Bloomberg? Against Peter Buttigieg? Against … Amy Klobuchar? We'll see.

06—Miscellany. And now, our closing miscellany of brief items.
Imprimis: The New York trial of Harvey Weinstein concludes this week. Yesterday, Thursday, we heard closing arguments for the defense from Weinstein's attorney Donna Rotunno—who seems to me, just going by the short accounts in my daily New York Post, to have done a bang-up job.
As I vented in my January 10th podcast, I am in Weinstein's corner here. The MeToo movement is the latest eruption of moral hysteria, like the child sex-abuse panic of the 1990s, or, at a lower level, the recurrent shrieking and pointing because someone somewhere saw something in a public place that might, if you squint and look sideways, resemble a hangman's noose.
Donna Rotunno nicely nailed the CultMarx aspect of these show trials—the key narrative of all-powerful oppressor and agency-less victim—when she said that in the prosecution's universe, quote:
women are not responsible for the parties they attend, the men they flirt with, the choices they make to further their careers, the hotel room invitations and the plane tickets they accept.
In this script, a powerful man is the villain, and he is so unattractive and large that no woman would ever want to sleep with him voluntarily. Regret doesn't exist in this world.
There wasn't actually much sign of regret on display by Weinstein's accusers until attorneys showed up to dangle the prospect of big fat settlements in front of them. Time and again the defense produced cheery emails from the accusing women to Weinstein sent days after his assaults on them were supposed to have occurred.
The case goes to the jury on Tuesday. Given the high level of stupidity among New York jurors—these are the people who elected Bill de Blasio Mayor, remember … twice—and the low level of sense we can expect from the graduates of our lefty law schools now wearing judges' robes, I don't hold out much hope for Weinstein. You never know, though, and I'd be happy to be surprised.
A brief footnote to that. I wanted to take a look at the judge in the case, State Supreme Court Judge James Burke, just out of curiosity. Strange to say, I could find no photograph on the internet.
This is very unusual for someone so prominent. There's usually a news or formal photograph out there somewhere. All I could find was a courtroom sketch of the guy, and it's very sketchy; I can't even tell what race he is. Strange …

Item: Here's a follow-up on last week's item about the election in Ireland.
It was a hung election, with no party getting enough seats in Ireland's parliament to form a government. Ireland's two big parties, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, are generally tagged as center-right and center-center respectively, but the differences between them are entirely historical, not political. They are even more of a Uniparty than our own dear Democrats and Republicans.
For what it's worth, Fine Gael, who held the Prime Ministership before the election, suffered serious losses—down 14 seats in the 160-seat parliament. Fianna Fáil lost, too, though: down six seats.
So if the big old establishment parties both took losses, who were the winners? Well, the fringe Green Party went from two seats to twelve, which is impressive. Kind of nice to know, also, that Ireland has a Green Party. Why would Ireland not have a Green Party? This is not the green of nationalism, though; they're a bunch of tree-hugging globalist lefties.
The big sensation was Sinn Féin raising their seat total from 23 to 37, actually putting them two seats ahead of Fine Gael. Sinn Féin is the political front for the IRA, and has strong connections to terrorism and the crime syndicates that fund terrorism.
As I keep trying to explain to Americans, Ireland is the Sicily of the British Isles. Sinn Féin's aim in life is to keep it that way.
So why are so many people voting for them? Well, it's a good protest vote against the Uniparty if you're not woke enough to find the Green Party appealing.
And then, there's ignorance. Just as an entire generation of Americans has grown up knowing nothing about the horrors of state socialism in the U.S.S.R. and so are willing to believe that Bernie Sanders just wants Scandinavian Social Democracy, so a generation of young Irish people know nothing about the Troubles of forty and fifty years ago. They like that same Social Democratic face that Sinn Féin presents to them.
And what about John Waters, the National Conservative whose voice you heard on last week's podcast, who ran as an independent in the Dún Laoghaire constituency? I'm sorry to report that he did not do well.
That's putting it nicely: The way they count votes in Ireland is way complicated, but John got only one-and-a-half percent of the First Preference votes cast, not enough to survive into the second count. The winner in Dún Laoghaire was the Green Party candidate, feugh.
I salute John Waters anyway for raising the banner of National Conservatism in a brave old nation busily drowning itself with mass immigration.

Item: I promised you some sex, and here you are—The Harvey Weinstein trial doesn't count.
So sex, yes—sex in sport. Three female high school athletes in Connecticut have filed a federal lawsuit to block transgender students from competing in girl's sports against them.
"Transgender" is this context means guys claiming to be girls, either from genuine conviction that they are girls, or from cynical calculation that this is an easy way to win some distinction for themselves. As one of the girls told ABC News, quote:
Mentally and physically, we know the outcome before the race even starts … That biological unfairness doesn't go away because of what someone believes about gender identity.
End quote.
Radio Derb wishes these girls luck, of course. While I wouldn't rule out cynical calculation on the part of some of these transgenders, I do understand that there are people genuinely confused about their sex. As always with mental abnormalities of the minor sort like this, we should treat those people with sympathy and consideration, but we should not turn our society upside down to accommodate their fantasies.
As I have before, I raise the example of Cotard's Syndrome, in which a person honestly believes himself to be dead. To accommodate such a person's belief, we should bury or cremate him; but of course we don't. We nod and smile sympathetically, and try to think of some way to get him help. We don't start planning to redesign all our social institutions on his behalf.

Item: The Coronavirus outbreak in China is just as mysterious, in key respects, as it was a week ago.
How worried about it should we be? I still have no idea. On open scientific questions like this, where totally different opinions are equally plausible, you can get some perspective by looking at the extremes. There is a spectrum of speculation, if you'll excuse my alliterating. The spectrum here has an optimistic end and a pessimistic end.
At the optimistic end is professor John Nicholls, a clinical professor in pathology at the University of Hong Kong and one of the world's leading experts on coronaviruses. In a February 6th conference call with a Hong Kong investment group, which I can only find in transcript form, Prof. Nicholls told us that, executive summary, this outbreak is basically a bad cold which kills people who already have other health issues. Quote:
This virus will burn itself out in May when temperatures rise. Wash your hands.
End quote.
At the other end of the speculation spectrum is physicist-turned-geneticist Greg Cochran, who has been right about an impressively large number of open scientific questions in the 21 years I have known him, including some where I myself have been wrong. Greg has been sounding the alarm, although cautiously. Worst case, he says, at around ten percent probability, we could be looking at fifty million deaths worldwide.
And on the question our own Lance Welton raised here at VDARE.com, as to whether this new virus is race-specific, we are no wiser than a week ago. We were told last Saturday, for example, that a U.S. citizen had died from the infection after going to Wuhan, but we weren't told her race.
I asked Mrs Derbyshire if she had any information on the case from her Chinese social media, but she hadn't. She did tell me, though, that there's a lot of angry noise there about the possibility that the outbreak may be biological warfare targeted at Chinese people by America.
Me: "You don't believe that, do you?"
She, with a snort: "Of course not! But there are people in China that do."

07—Signoff. That's it, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for listening this St Valentine's Day weekend and I hope something nice came your way, if only a box of chocolates.
Here is something Romantic to see us out. That's "Romantic" with a capital "R"; on the grounds that the composer here, Jules Massenet, is always listed as belonging to the Romantic Era of Western music. This is from his opera Thaïs. If you don't like opera, no worries. There are no fat ladies singing here, the piece is entirely instrumental. It's the Méditation intermezzo from Act 2, played here by the great Russian violinist Maxim Vengerov and the Classic FM M-Tel Orchestra. For my money this is one of the loveliest short pieces of music ever written.
There will be more from Radio Derb next week.

But the only “moderate” aspect about them is their supposed opposition to “socialism.” All support the Left’s extreme immigration agenda enthusiast agenda and all will impose Open Borders on America.
Sanders's support for Open Borders is obvious. As I reported last week:
He wants to decriminalize illegal immigration, abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, impose a moratorium on deportations, provide healthcare to illegal aliens, “dismantle” detention facilities, amnesty all illegals, dramatically increase America’s refugee intake by welcoming “climate refugees,” and scrap Trump’s travel ban and other immigration restrictions.
But the other Democrats “moderates” are only slightly less radical.
South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is currently the strongest threat to Sanders. He appears to have narrowly won the Iowa Caucus, although losing the popular vote, and he came in a close second in New Hampshire.

He believes illegal immigration should be decriminalized and government should provide healthcare to illegal aliens [Pete Buttigieg vows to expand government healthcare to illegal immigrants, by Kimberly Leonard, Washington Examiner, June 22, 2019]. His formal immigration plan released in December confirmed his Open Borders commitment.

This of course furthers the curse of creeping institutional bilingualism [Pete Buttigieg goes Spanish in Nevada TV ad, vows to 'unify our very polarized country,' by S.A.

Currently the second-leading Democratic candidate: former Vice President Joe Biden. The previous national frontrunner was humiliated in Iowa and New Hampshire, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. However, he is still polling well and will likely win in South Carolina. It’s too early to count out Joe yet.
Biden presents himself as a blue collar guy who tells it like it is—”No Malarkey,” as his goofy slogan put it [No malarkey?

While Bloomberg previously expressed common sense on race and crime, he has always been an immigration booster. Back in 2007, the then-mayor said, incredibly, that an Amnesty was needed to help golfers, causing Steve Sailer to dub him a member of “Billionaire Golfers For Open Borders.” He has continued to advocate for Amnesty and increased immigration since then.
Bloomberg’s current immigration plan is in the same spirit. As President, he would eliminate Trump’s immigration achievements, legalize all illegal immigrants, increase legal immigration, expand guest worker visas, and reduce detention facilities and border security. Like Buttigieg and Biden, he would allow cities and counties to specifically request more immigrants for their area to Replace the native-born Americans [Michael Bloomberg Unveils Plan for ‘Broken’ Immigration System, by Mark Niquette, Bloomberg News, February 10, 2020] His plan also provides healthcare for illegal immigrants [How Mike Bloomberg would expand health coverage, by Dan Diamond, Politico, December 19, 2019].
“Immigration doesn’t threaten America, it strengthens America,” Bloomberg declares.
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar has lingered near the bottom of the pack for some months, but pulled off strong finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire. In New Hampshire, she finished a respectable third and earned nearly 20 percent of the vote. She’s rising in the polls, although still only at sixth place in the RCP polling average. She may emerge as a potential contender at a brokered convention if Democrat insiders believe Bernie’s radicalism will doom the party.
However, Klobuchar is almost as radical as Bernie when it comes to illegal immigration. The senator hasn’t offered a formal immigration plan, but she did declare at a July debate that immigrants “are America” and our economy needs more of them [Klobuchar: ‘Immigrants Are America,’ U.S. Needs Foreigners ‘in Our Fields,’ by John Binder, Breitbart, June 26, 2019]. She believes demographic transformation is enshrined in the Constitution and “we are not going to be able to succeed in the world if we do not invite everyone to be part of our economy.”
Klobuchar also believes illegal immigrants should receive government healthcare [Klobuchar: I Support Providing Health Care to Illegal Immigrants, by Graham Piro, Washington Free Beacon, June 30, 2019]. She supports Amnesty and explicitly wants to increase immigration. She wants immigration enforcement reduced and deportations reserved only for “those who threaten the safety and security of our country” [Amy Klobuchar: 2020 Democratic presidential candidate shares her views on current issues, USA Today, November 7, 2019]. Last month, she apologized for her past support of making English the official language and said she now opposes the idea.
And these are the “moderate” alternatives to Sanders.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren still lingers in the race as a more acceptable Sanders. It’s still possible for her to win the nomination, but her chances have dropped significantly after humiliating finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire. Her immigration plan is almost identical to the Vermont senator’s proposals [Elizabeth Warren’s immigration proposal goes much further than a pathway to citizenship, by Tara Golshan, Vox, July 12, 2019].
The two other candidates, businessman Tom Steyer and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, are longshots. Both conform to the Left’s immigration dogmas [I will roll back Trump's racist immigration policies as president, by Tom Steyer, CNN, February 14, 2020]. Gabbard shows some independence on foreign policy, yet her campaign site only touts her liberal stances on immigration [Tulsi Gabbard: 'It's fair' to say 2020 Democrats advocate for 'open borders', by Mike Brest, Washington Examiner, September 10, 2019]. There’s no indication she would oppose Amnesty or try to restrict immigration.
Democrats are all Open Borders zealots because immigration imports more Democratic voters, advances non-white interests, indulges white liberal pathologies, and satisfies corporate demands. Democrats aren’t interested in appealing to working-class whites anymore. The party favors affluent whites, who are more likely to hate their race and want more immigration than any other group [America’s White Saviors, by Zach Goldberg, Tablet, June 5, 2019]. Open borders appeals to them and the rest of the new Democratic Party. They are all united in their desire to destroy the Historic American Nation.
Middle Americans have no choice but to vote against them.

However, as I've reported, ICE SVU does not like the immigration issue and considers immigration enforcement beneath them, as expressed by the Dirty 19. Therefore, the ICE SVU will not be backing up their fellow officers at ICE, and ICE ERO had to call for support from Border Patrol Agents (BPA).
Of course, the NYT is all agog, thinking that BPAs don’t know how to execute their mission in an urban environment. That is just a plain lie.

However, it appears that only 100 BPAs will be deployed to Sanctuary Cities. I do not know if this is just a start—deploying BORTAC only suggests that this is only an operation to support ERO, rather than to expand enforcement to the Border Patrol specialty, City Patrol.
Lawrence Payne, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection, confirmed the agency was deploying 100 officers to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which conducts arrests in the interior of the country, “in order to enhance the integrity of the immigration system, protect public safety, and strengthen our national security.”
This statement is, as usual for spokesmen, not designed to illuminate, but to deceive; it is bland and speaks in generalities, but it does not rule out wider enforcement, nor does it advise the public about the campaign of illegal violent resistance by illegal aliens and their supporters that should not be tolerated by President Trump.
But a clearer statement says that the Border Patrol will support ICE ERO, but this, again, does not rule out expanded enforcement.
In sanctuary cities, the BORTAC agents will be asked to support interior officers in run-of-the-mill immigration arrests, the officials said. Their presence could spark new fear in immigrant communities that have been on high alert under the stepped-up deportation and detention policies adopted after Mr. Trump took office.
With 100 BPAs supporting ICE ERO, that could be a test run for a wider enforcement program, including not only interior deployment of the USBP, but ICE SVU should be forced to become engaged with immigration enforcement in Sanctuary Cities. The Dirty 19 must be forced into immigration enforcement on a broad scale in urban areas. Permanent redeployment of the Border Patrol to previously longstanding interior stations that were shut down by George Bush.
