vdare--2020-05-19--THE FULFORD FILE: Funny Thing—Hoax Crime Hysterias Always Upstage Black-On-White Atrocities

Earlier , by James Fulford : Joe Biden Wants To Talk About Black “ Jogger ” Ahmaud Arbery—Why Won ’ t He Talk About These Raped/Murdered White Joggers ?
When we read about the alleged victims ( usually the aggressors ) in “ Black Lives Matter ” hoaxes , we regularly hear people like Ta-Nehisi Coates talk about whites being afraid of “ black bodies ” —which Steve Sailer refers to as “ innocent black baby bodies ” .
So let ’ s talk about some white bodies—and what black bodies have done to them without attracting any Main Stream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s simultaneous with much-touted Black Lives matter hoaxes .
One of the earliest stories I remember reading here at VDARE.com—before I started working here—was Scott McConnell ’ s Unfit To Print [ January 10 , 2001 ] , the story of the Wichita Horror in which two black brothers ( Reginald and Jonathan Carr ) did a home invasion in December 2000 and attacked seven white people , some of whom they raped , five of whom they killed .
( The Carr brothers are still alive , under sentence of death , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off , for most of the 21st century . )
McConnell ’ s point at the time : the New York Times hadn ’ t reported the story at all .
What it was reporting ( according to a date-limited archive search ) was what it had been repeating since February 1999 : the story of Amadou Diallo , whose mistaken shooting led to the malicious and false prosecution for second-degree murder of four white cops—who were eventually acquitted [ Federal Court Will Not Pursue Diallo Case , by Susan Sachs , January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ atrocious black-on-white crime while simultaneously pursuing a ginned-up racial grievance is now SOP for the MSM .
During the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman hoax , Peter Bradley reported on VDARE.com , in Lynching George Zimmerman—Overwhelming America ’ s Historic White Majority , on the rape and murder of Nancy Strait , and the wounding of her husband ( who subsequently died ) : Nancy Strait ’ s name has never been mentioned by the New York Times .

So let’s talk about some white bodies—and what black bodies have done to them without attracting any Main Stream Media attention, even though it’s simultaneous with much-touted Black Lives matter hoaxes.
Amadou Diallo vs. The Wichita Horror
One of the earliest stories I remember reading here at VDARE.com—before I started working here—was Scott McConnell’s Unfit To Print [January 10, 2001], the story of the Wichita Horror, in which two black brothers (Reginald and Jonathan Carr) did a home invasion in December 2000 and attacked seven white people, some of whom they raped, five of whom they killed. (The Carr brothers are still alive, under sentence of death, as they have been, on and off, for most of the 21st century.)
McConnell’s point at the time: the New York Times hadn’t reported the story at all. What it was reporting (according to a date-limited archive search) was what it had been repeating since February 1999: the story of Amadou Diallo, whose mistaken shooting led to the malicious and false prosecution for second-degree murder of four white cops—who were eventually acquitted [Federal Court Will Not Pursue Diallo Case, by Susan Sachs, January 31, 2001].
Ignoring an atrocious black-on-white crime while simultaneously pursuing a ginned-up racial grievance is now SOP for the MSM.
Trayvon Martin vs. Nancy and Bob Strait
During the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman hoax, Peter Bradley reported on VDARE.com, in Lynching George Zimmerman—Overwhelming America’s Historic White Majority, on the rape and murder of Nancy Strait, and the wounding of her husband (who subsequently died):
A white Tulsa couple who had recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary was attacked last week in their house by a 20-year-old black man named Tyrone Dale David Woodfork. Nancy Strait, 85, was sexually assaulted and battered to death while her husband, 90-year-old WWII vet Bob Strait, was shot in the face with a BB gun and was left in serious condition. [Couple met and married within a month and stayed together for 65 years... only to be parted after home invader beat wife to death, Daily Mail, March 20, 2012]
Tulsa murder victims Bob and Nancy Strait
Tyrone Woodfork, serving a life sentence.
Court upholds life sentence for Tulsa County killer Tyrone Woodfork, by Barbara Hoberock, Tulsa World, January 6, 2016.
Nancy Strait’s name has never been mentioned by the New York Times.
Snopes.com maintains a page on the couple that says that reports circulating online were in fact true, and that
Although the robbery and beating of the Straits was reported in the UK’s Daily Mail, U.S. coverage of the crime has so far largely been limited to local (Tulsa area) media.
And except for deplorables like us, it still is.
Freddy Gray vs. The Savopoulos family (and their Hispanic housekeeper)
In May 2015, there were riots in Baltimore, supported by Eric Holder and Obama, caused by the accidental death of drug dealer Freddie Gray, who had been arrested with an illegal knife.
Simultaneously, Daron Dylon Wint, pictured below, killed an entire white family and their Hispanic maid, and set their house on fire.
Savvas Savopoulos, 46, his wife, Amy Savopoulos, 47, their 10-year-old son Philip and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, 57, were all murdered by Wint.
I reported it at the time as Quadruple Murder In DC Apparently BOTH Immigrant Mass Murder And Disgruntled Minority Massacre.
Wint, an immigrant from Guyana, had formerly worked for Savopoulos. He did a home invasion, possibly with help, took the unarmed Savopoulos family hostage and forced them (by torturing the Savopouloses’ 10-year old son, above center) to have $40,000 sent to their house ["$40K delivered to home, boy tortured before DC murders, fire," by Bruce Leshan, WUSA TV, May 20, 2015]. Then he murdered them.
Wikipedia has a page on this atrocity called “2015 Washington, D.C., quadruple murder incident”.
As usual, the story received mostly local coverage, although in this case some of that local coverage came in the Washington Post, because the killings happened in Washington.
The New York Times found just two stories about this murder Fit To Print [Arrest Made in Washington Killings, May 21, 2015 and More Than One Attacker Is Suspected in Killings of 4 in Washington, May 22, 2015]. But it found 586 stories about Freddie Gray Fit To Print.
Of course, the massive riot that the New York Times triggered with its coverage, and the malicious and false prosecution of the police—also started with the aid of MSM coverage—made the Gray story more newsworthy.
Daron Wint was quietly sentenced to life imprisonment [Daron Wint: Washington DC 'mansion murderer' gets life sentence, BBC, February 1, 2019].
Not only did no whites riot (of course) but we never had a national conversation about
(a) capital punishment—this is exactly the kind of crime that can be prevented by capital punishment—or
(b) the laws in places like the District of Columbia that ban the possession of firearms for self-defense.
Tyre King vs. Sisters Paula Merrill and Margaret Held
In 2016, Tyre King, 13 years old, was killed after pointing an extremely realistic BB gun at an officer who was responding to reports of an armed robbery.
I juxtaposed it with another killing: Reuters: "White Ohio Police Officer Shoots Black 13-Year-Old Boy Armed With BB Gun"—But Stab Two White Nuns And It's "Man Arrested."
The "Mississippi Man" was Rodney Earl Sanders. He's a black Mississippi man. The nuns were white nuns: Sister Paula Merrill and Sister Margaret Held.
That’s this pattern in one blog post. The story Mississippi man arrested in stabbing death of two nuns: police, Reuters, August 27, 2016, doesn’t provide many details. A later story, Sheriff: Suspect confesses in killings of 2 nuns in Mississippi, August 30, 2016, says that “authorities believe that robbery was the ‘least likely’ motive for the killings and that a home invasion was also unlikely.”
What “least likely” means is Sanders wasn’t robbing the place—he just wanted to kill whites. A later story had him pleading guilty, to avoid the death penalty [Mississippi man to plead guilty in nuns' deaths, prosecutor said, Emily Wagster Pettus, Associated Press, June 12, 2018]
Ahmaud Aubery v. Paul and Lidia Marino
Recently we’ve seen the apotheosis of black thug Ahmaud Aubery, a man convicted of bringing a gun to a high-school basketball game, of stealing a television from a store, and seen below cursing police who are investigating his suspicious behavior, to the point that they are almost forced to tase him.
Video Shows Police Attempt to Use a Taser on Ahmaud Arbery, The Truth About Guns, May 19, 2020
But now we are supposed to suppose that this man is an innocent “jogger” who was killed by white racists.
But what are we supposed to think of the killing, by the late Sheldon Francis, who was black, of elderly white couple Paul and Lidia Marino?
We’re not supposed to think about it all. It also continues not to be a national news story, at least in the bellwether judgement of the New York Times.
Postscript
As for Reginald and Jonathan Carr, they finally appeared in the New York Times in 2016, when they, with an unrelated accomplice-murderer named Sidney Gleason, left, had their death penalties reinstated by Justice Antonin Scalia, may he rest in peace. It was his last opinion [Supreme Court Rules Against Kansas Inmates in Death Penalty Case, by Adam Liptak, January 20, 2016].
And the perps’ pictures finally appeared in the New York Times, above.
But to this day, neither the names of the victims, nor the race of the victims, have ever been reported in the New York Times.
That remains, as Scott McConnell wrote in 2001, news that’s Unfit To Print.

vdare--2020-05-19--Michelle Malkin: Stop Training Saudi Arabia's Jihad Pilots—No More Visas For Terrorists!

I 'm glad the FBI was able to crack the iPhones of the Pensacola naval air base shooter , which confirmed that radicalized Royal Saudi Air Force second lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani ( right ) had communicated with al-Qaida to carry out a `` special operation . ''
Three young American patriots died in Alshamrani 's December 2019 attack .
The more information we have to prevent the needless slaughter of U.S. military members on U.S. soil the better .
But Attorney General William Barr 's announcement of the Pensacola jihadist 's unlocked phones yesterday raises more questions than it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people been informed yet of basic details regarding how Alshamrani got into our country ?
Why have we resumed foreign flight training while lockdowns have put nearly 37 million citizens out of work—and while national security concerns about the A-2 visa for foreign military trainees remain unresolved ?
Why were n't all temporary foreign visa programs for both civilian and military pilots from around the world immediately frozen as part of President Donald Trump 's so-called immigration ban ?
In January , Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Rick Scott , R-Fla. , and Marco Rubio , R-Fla. , asked Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf for a `` timeline of Alshamrani 's nonimmigrant visa vetting process , the specific vetting actions conducted , whether he was interviewed by U.S. officials and whether the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) was made aware of any documents provided by the Saudi government indicating terrorist sympathies .

''
Were any red flags shared by Saudi Arabia , and did our consular officials follow up on any warnings ?
The three GOP senators also asked Wolf about what `` diplomatic courtesies or other differences from regular nonimmigrant visa arrivals are afforded on arrival to individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's ancient history , but those of us who care about a functioning immigration and entrance system remember how lazy and pandering State Department bureaucrats did n't even bother to interview the 9/11 Saudi hijackers in person when they applied for fast-track visas .

We also remember that when the FBI was warned before 9/11 by Phoenix-based agent Kenneth Williams that Arab Muslim pilots should be monitored because his investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bin Laden to send students to the United States to attend civil aviation universities and college , '' the FBI ignored Williams .
He had called on his superiors to conduct nationwide sweeps of aviation schools and surveillance of suspicious visa applicants .
Had the feds done so , of course , Muslim grievance-groups would have been up in arms and hindsight hypocrite columnists like former New York Times ' finger-wagger Maureen Dowd would have screamed `` Islamophobe '' faster than a speeding bullet .

The letter also sought information on "how many A visa holders were refused entry by Customs and Border Protection and how many of those refusals were Saudi nationals, as well as details on DHS monitoring of visiting foreign military personnel's social media and any such monitoring conducted in Alshamrani's case."
Was biometric data collected?

vdare--2020-05-20--Ann Coulter: Left Blames Whites For Coronavirus—In Fact, For Everything.

I guess now it ’ s OK to identify viruses by where they came from .
Lately , New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo has been calling COVID-19 the “ European virus ” 1 million times per press conference .
Here ’ s Cuomo at a single briefing last week : “ … the virus that had attacked us from Europe … the virus came from Europe … the virus was coming from Europe … New York is where the European flights were coming in … Virus came from Europe … we had this European virus attack us … we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus.
” So “ European virus ” it is !
Who cares ?
It ’ s like referring to Muhammed the terrorist as “ British man.
” Verdict : true , but misleading .
No one , not even the freaks at the New York Times , testy with Trump for calling it the “ China virus , ” disputes that “ COVID-19 ” originated in China .
Yes , the virus carriers who infected New Yorkers arrived on planes from Milan , but they were infected by travelers from China .
Where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I don ’ t know .
I ’ ve lost my notes .
Why do you ask ?
To call it the “ European virus ” simply refers to the last transmitter .
Chris Cuomo , the governor ’ s brother , got coronavirus , then infected his wife and son .
He was the proximate cause of his family ’ s infections , just as people flying to JFK from Europe were the proximate cause of the coronavirus infections in New York .
How about we start calling it the “ Chris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Times writers were all atwitter about the governor ’ s stroke of genius in calling it “ the European virus.
” “ [ H ] is current spin , ” Gail Collins wrote , “ seems like a smart approach.
” Please come up with some way for us to blame this virus on white people !
You ’ re thinking , “ It can ’ t be that stupid.
” Oh yes , it can !
It is not possible to exaggerate the obsession these people have with identity politics .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make Russia—not China or Saudi Arabia—the center of their lunatic conspiracy theory on Trump .
The whole story was imaginary , so they could have chosen any country in the world .
Why Russia ?
Hillary got right to the point , calling Vladimir Putin “ the leader of an authoritarian , white-supremacist and xenophobic movement.
” She said Trump “ seems to want to be like Putin , a white authoritarian leader who could put down dissenters … ” Are there any non-white authoritarians in the world ?
Any at all ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ white ” is nothing but an evil intensifier , a verbal MSG .
The New York Times decided to officially brand itself an anti-white site by defiantly keeping writer Sarah Jeong on staff , despite a long record of lovely tweets like these : • “ Dumb–s f—ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.
” • “ White people have stopped breeding .
You ’ ll all go extinct soon .
This was my plan all along.
” • “ Are white people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sun , thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins ?
” • “ oh man it ’ s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.
” There is ecstasy throughout media-land whenever … It ’ s as if we ’ ve had this problem forever with superior refugee talent being shut out of U.S. elections .
Wait—didn ’ t they just get here ?
No matter .
Journalists wet themselves with their feelings of virtue whenever they can stick a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( and black ) America .
Triumphant news stories about hardscrabble refugees winning elections are always chock-a-block with tales of the “ racism ” that had to be overcome to achieve these “ historic ” victories .
• “ Racist trolls targeted a Somali refugee ’ s campaign .
She still managed to pull off a historic victory.
” — The Washington Post • “ ’ It ’ s mindblowing ’ : historic wins for two Somali-Americans amid ugly smears ” — The Guardian A candidate for political office got some mean tweets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened before in the history of politics !
The only actual racism on display—that can be attached to a name—is usually from the refugees themselves .
Safiya Khalid , the FIRST SOMALI REFUGEE elected to the Lewiston , Maine , city council , for example , told the Post her desire to run “ came from watching city leadership remain stubbornly white.
” So yes , the reason liberals are swooning over Gov .
Cuomo ’ s ingenious decision to call COVID-19 the “ European virus ” is because that makes the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only way we could ever get liberals to call a new disease the “ China virus ” is if it originated in Africa , then migrated to China .
Ann Coulter is the author of THIRTEEN New York Times bestsellers—collect them here .
Her book , ¡Adios America !
The Left ’ s Plan To Turn Our Country Into A Third World Hell Hole , was released on June 1 , 2015 .
Her latest book , Resistance Is Futile !
: How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind , was released @ @ @ @ @ @

I guess now it’s OK to identify viruses by where they came from. Lately, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been calling COVID-19 the “European virus” 1 million times per press conference.

Yes, the virus carriers who infected New Yorkers arrived on planes from Milan, but they were infected by travelers from China.
Where did it come from before Europe?
I don’t know. I’ve lost my notes. Why do you ask?
To call it the “European virus” simply refers to the last transmitter. Chris Cuomo, the governor’s brother, got coronavirus, then infected his wife and son. He was the proximate cause of his family’s infections, just as people flying to JFK from Europe were the proximate cause of the coronavirus infections in New York.
How about we start calling it the “Chris Cuomo virus”?
But New York Times writers were all atwitter about the governor’s stroke of genius in calling it “the European virus.” “[H]is current spin,” Gail Collins wrote, “seems like a smart approach.”

1ST REFUGEE ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL
It’s as if we’ve had this problem forever with superior refugee talent being shut out of U.S. elections. Wait—didn’t they just get here?
No matter. Journalists wet themselves with their feelings of virtue whenever they can stick a finger in the eye of historic white (and black) America.
Triumphant news stories about hardscrabble refugees winning elections are always chock-a-block with tales of the “racism” that had to be overcome to achieve these “historic” victories.
E.g.:
A candidate for political office got some mean tweets. Oh my gosh—that’s never happened before in the history of politics!
The only actual racism on display—that can be attached to a name—is usually from the refugees themselves. Safiya Khalid, the FIRST SOMALI REFUGEE elected to the Lewiston, Maine, city council, for example, told the Post her desire to run “came from watching city leadership remain stubbornly white.”
So yes, the reason liberals are swooning over Gov. Cuomo’s ingenious decision to call COVID-19 the “European virus” is because that makes the virus white. (Yuck!) The only way we could ever get liberals to call a new disease the “China virus” is if it originated in Africa, then migrated to China.

The High Price of Cheap Chinese Masks
Steve Sailer
May 20, 2020
Conservative nationalists in the U.S. are knuckleheadedly booting away their most persuasive case yet for rebuilding America’s industrial base: the shameful tale of how the Chinese were allowed to hoard almost all the facemasks.
As many on the right have already forgotten, in one of the more bizarre “We have always been at war with Eastasia” moments, just two months ago the national media were promoting the health establishment’s crusade against civilians wearing facemasks. But that hilarious history is rapidly being memoryholed, ironically aided by rightists worried that wearing masks as they go about their business would make them look beta. …
Human well-being depends upon negotiating borders. There are inevitable trade-offs between the advantages of openness and enclosure. You have to draw lines somewhere, and it’s important to get them more or less right. Facemasks are one kind of protective boundary, and ordering the public to leave their jobs and huddle in their homes because your globalist ideology meant America wouldn’t have enough masks is another kind of boundary enforcement. Which one is less ruinously expensive?

This Day In VDARE.com History, 2014: California Decline Observed from Emergency Room By Victor Davis Hanson

Originally published here on VDARE.com on this day in 2014 For years , Victor Davis Hanson has been reporting the demographic changes from Fresno County in central California .
A favorite of mine is The Civic Education America Needs about the education experience he had in the early 1960s where his diverse school taught American values .
A recent spill from his bike put Hanson into the hospital , and his observations from the emergency room of third world immigrants getting first world healthcare are illuminating .
More disturbing is his report of a neighbor being killed a week ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farm who were stripping a stolen car .
That case was apparently the murder of George Salwasser : Four Suspects Accused of Killing Valley Farmer , May 13 , 2014 .
Here are Hanson ’ s reflections from the ER : Life is turned upside down in a nanosecond .
This weekend I missed my first posting at PJ Media since beginning in 2006 .
Why ?
Let me briefly explain the lapse — if I can be forgiven for comparing a bike accident with what I have seen on the farm the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , crushed legs , herbicide poisonings , manifold burns , etc. )
.
I was going on a usual morning bike ride — safe stuff with like-minded older folks .
I ’ m 60 ; so is my biking partner and fellow Hoover Institution associate Bruce Thornton .
We are hardly reckless .
( Not like sulfuring at midnight recklessly in one ’ s 20s in the old days without goggles or mask . )
We usually go deliberately during off-traffic hours when cars are rare , on little-traveled roads and bike paths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the same 32-mile route .
After nine years we have memorized every bump , cracked bit of pavement , bad stop light , etc .
We bike slowly , about 14-15 mph , always in single file .
We are , after all , 60 and hear daily horrific stories of injured and dead bikers .
In nearly ten years of rides , I have had some scrapes but only two bad spills ( a homeless person once jumped out from the bushes on a Santa Rosa bike path ; I swerved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the handlebars : slight concussion ; broken shoulder , three ribs , and collar bone .
I was also attacked and knocked flat once by a pack of dogs with no licenses , shots , or English-speaking owners ) .
So we must be doing something carefully , for our sixtyish group of three or four to usually avoid problems .
I lead a yearly tour on May 17th , so usually quit riding one week ahead , just in case .
Friday morning was to be last ride until I came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the way home , suddenly the front wheel locked and I woke up about 15 seconds later with my face on the pavement .
Four hours later at the emergency room I discovered that I had four ruined teeth ( three shaved off , one split down the middle into the root ) , a concussion , a broken nose , 65 stitches for facial and gum lacerations , and a sliced-apart lower lip ( with broken teeth shards sticking into my upper lip ) .
What happened ?
Apparently a hairline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the fork bent and locked up the front wheel without warning .
( Yes , I know I should inspect the bike thoroughly each time I get on , but the crack was invisible . )
Seven days after falling , I am leaving for Europe and the tour this week , a bit dizzy , fearful that my ogre-like appearance will turn off audiences .
I ’ ve been getting out of bed to rush off to various doctors to extract a split abscessing tooth , do a bone graft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have lacerated my tongue , have stitches removed , etc .
— and feel both foolish and very lucky .
I had a jammed neck and was a bit disorientated , suggesting to the ER staff a fracture and perhaps serious neck problems .
But the CT scan came back normal .
After sitting under bags of ice and gobs of Neosporin ointment the last five days , I have reflected on the unforgiving moment that changes everything .
Again , I feel very fortunate .
The ER personnel offered tales of lesser @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paralyzed , or with cranial bleeding — or dead .
But when you are lying flat and can not read or talk or eat , your mind wanders into retrospection and memoriae temporis acti — dreaming of the sort that one must be careful about , lest it devolves into the depression of should have , could have , would have done this or that .
I offer a general thought from the ER and subsequent last five days : we live in a weird postmodern/premodern world .
Never have Americans been so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ER trauma center was postmodern : even a plastic surgeon was on duty , who did wonders with my hanging lip and crushed nose .
The triage team was top-notch .
The equipment , nursing staff , and regimen were stellar .
Without them I would be infected , disfigured , and bedridden .
( Though I may hold off entirely on that optimism until May 30th , when I am back and the gambit of not canceling has been proven wise .
How do you tell your guests that you were stupid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) For five hours , I watched the worst imaginable cases wheeled in — the wages of burns , wrecks , shootings , stabbings , falls , drug overdoses , heart attacks , shock , etc .
— all met with an upbeat , can-do staff professionalism .
The clientele , however — metal detector required for entrance — was premodern .
Many were foreign nationals .
Some appeared to be gang-bangers .
Police were ubiquitous ( not all the injured were virtuous or harmed by accident ) .
English was rarely spoken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world away from the ER crowd of rural California circa 1960 .
Gurneys were parked in hallways that were almost blocked with sick patients , most of them texting in boredom .
Relatives were arguing with other outpatients ’ relatives .
It reminded me of the bottom floor of the Evangelismos Hospital at Athens about 1973 , where I once had a sliced finger tendon ; on another occasion a shock reaction to a bad Greek plague/ typhus/yellow fever/small pox/typhoid all in one vaccination .
Or Luxor circa 1974 ( a case of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appendix ) .
What was different in the American hospital circa 2014 was not the chaos , or the swarms of violently injured , but the superb quality of the care .
In a word , some of the most violent gang-bangers on the planet are accorded some of the most sophisticated trauma care in the world , and for free .
I say that not so that it should not be that way , but note it only in hopes that there is some gratitude offered to our health care providers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ various grievances against the society ever express thanks that a man can cross the border , get into a knife fight , even while committing a crime , and in extremis receive free health care of the sort comparable to that accorded to our president ?
Only in America ?
And as it should be .
Spending five hours with those who clean up the mess of one too many beers or a drug OD gave me a strange sense of tragedy .
The more spectacular the efforts of 21st century America to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is expected and critiqued than appreciated as an object of wonder .
Other reflections from five days on my back : Almost half of the patients around me in the ER seemed to be suffering from moribund obesity .
Diabetes is a California epidemic .
Latest reports suggest that well over 40 % of Hispanics , to take one especially at-risk group , admitted to the hospital for all causes are diagnosed with it , higher than the general rate in other populations .
Given huge influxes across a porous border , health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years will largely center on diabetes .
It will have far more social effect than even the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s .
It will kill more people , more adversely tax the health care system and require a Marshall Plan-like effort to enlighten the population about diet and exercise .
More likely , however , the system will instead be seen as the culprit and be faulted for not offering enough medical services for diabetes patients that may well total a quarter of California ’ s population in the next decade .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a responsibility not to drink sugar-filled Cokes each day .
Too much of the wrong food , not existential hunger , is the epidemic of the poor .
Some readers will respond by asking , “ If you are so smart about health decisions , why did you end up in the ER ?
” A fair question , given that road biking is not always safe and perhaps analogous to drinking sugared colas .
I am trying , as I stare up at the ceiling , to weigh the odds of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , versus the enjoyment versus alternative workout regimens , versus just sticking to yard and farm work , versus trying everything from a fat-tire slow bike to stationary biking .
Two bits of advice I hear from friends : “ You have to get right back at it and conquer your anxieties.
” Versus : “ Wake up — is road biking necessary ?
Try walking more.
” A farmer 10 miles away , who was a father of four children , was shot and killed this week after investigating intruders on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now in custody . )
He interrupted a stolen car being stripped , and “ they ” killed him for being so rude as to drive on his own land .
I note that fact because a few weeks ago the dogs barked at 3 a.m. For once I decided to ignore them .
And the next morning I found a stripped auto in my vineyard .
I had gone back to sleep on the theory that in America today walking out to investigate would have been a politically incorrect sin .
Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not like the enforcement of property rights unless one is rich , hip and cool , like those who assume the sanctity of their Google or Apple parking lots .
I would de facto have no right to have ordered people off my property .
And without arms , no means of enforcing any order I had issued .
Instead , I assume California would argue that there must have been extenuating circumstances that forced the gang-bangers into a life of crime , from callous indifference about their impoverishment to illegal-alien bashing ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blanks ) .
For all practical purposes , one has no right to arm oneself to protect property .
If I were unarmed and shot , I would be assumed to have been foolish by venturing out on my own property .
If I were armed , and yet got shot confronting thieves , the media would say that I was more foolish and trigger-happy and prompted the violence .
If I had shot them in self-defense , I would appear a paranoid old white male who privileged property over human life — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had access to free legal help .
If I were to call 9/11 , I would expect that the response would be slow , given that in the hierarchy of a night ’ s epidemic of central California felonies , a stripped auto would rank low .
So I went back to sleep , and called the sheriff the next day when I discovered the stripped auto .
Someone else who was more courageous was murdered this week .
We lost a brave citizen , and now deal with his murderers , on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bankrupt society will be amply invested .
If only Nancy Pelosi or Jeb Bush would come down to a Central Valley ER in these parts , or try farming when a vineyard become a veritable chop shop , they would not so easily lecture others on their supposed illiberality .
Otherwise , the liberal view is a make-believe land of elites who are exempt from the wages of their ideology , as others deemed less sophisticated and liberal bear their consequences .

The victims were transported to a hospital after officers who responded to the scene used multiple tourniquets to control their bleeding. Police said they found Edwards, 35, with his hands raised in surrender on the street outside the facility three minutes after they got a 911 call about the attack. Investigators said Edwards, who is homeless, told them he attacked the couple to demonstrate his anger about the coronavirus shutdowns and his inability to get into Rescue Mission, an organization that serves homeless people. According to its website, the Nashville Rescue Mission has remained open to individuals without shelter during the pandemic. Police said Edwards, who carries an Arkansas driver license, has been in Nashville since 2016. He had a prior felony vandalism conviction in 2017 and was also convicted for assault after spitting on two Davidson County sheriff’s deputies while in jail. He was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder for the attack Sunday, police said. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.
Kevin and Leanne Craft are a white couple who live in the primary white Nashville suburb of Brentwood. Virtually every printed story about this attack has omitted the fact the attacker was black and the victims are white. All across the country, from Huntington Beach, California, to the Florida panhandle, overwhelmingly white crowds have protested the Coronavirus lockdown/quarantine/stay-at-home orders peacefully.
There’s been no violence.
But we are supposed to believe a black guy, who “randomly” assaults a white married couple in Nashville with a machete was upset about the Coronavirus lockdowns, and this was the primary motivation behind the attack?
To borrow a phrase from the first story, the lack of visuals of the victims in this black machete attack on a white couple is jarring.
In one week, just one week, the carefully choreographed concept of systemic inequality and white privilege (whatever you want to call it) would be washed away if every newspaper, every news website, every nightly newscast (national and local), and every cable news network was forced to abandon covering up the reality of black crime. Putting the blame of shocking levels of black criminality on poverty and white flight (redlining) would be retired by the endless repetition of seeing the faces of black criminals scroll across the screen of whatever medium for news you consume, starting with the story of what happened to the Crafts in Nashville.
Every day is a propaganda battle: The enemies of western civilization have to win every day, to perpetuate their paradigm.
We only have to win once, then the dam breaks for good.

vdare--2020-05-20--Was 74-Year Old Korean Felon Who Suicided In ICE Custody A Murderer Or Only An "Attempted" Murderer

Was 74-Year Old Korean Felon Who Suicided In ICE Custody A Murderer Or Only An "Attempted" Murderer Before He Killed Himself?

A 74-Year Old Korean suicided in ICE custody .
He 'd apparently done a ten-year penitentiary sentence for something , and then gone into ICE custody , to be deported to his native South Korea .
There are many sob stories about him , all of which say that he committed `` attempted murder with an enhancement for using a firearm , '' which , to be fair , is what the ICE press release says .
[ South Korean man in ICE custody passes away in California , ICE , May 19 , 2020 ] He was the subject @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him , which is called 20-2604 - Ahn et al v. Barr et al , May 5 , 2020 , signed by Judge James D. Donato .
[ PDF ] Barr is the redoubtable William Barr , in his role as Attorney General .
`` Et al '' is two other elderly felons awaiting deportation .
There seem to have been no legitimate medical issues with the three elderly deportable immigrants in custody , according to Judge Donato : To start , there is not a single declaration from any of the petitioners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their counsel based on what petitioners said to them .
This is a surprising lacuna in the record because counsel did not aver or argue that they did not have reasonable access to their clients when preparing the TRO application .
The absence of any evidence directly from petitioners is not necessarily fatal for the application , but it certainly weakens its punch .
The lawyers ’ declarations are also thin on the facts and unduly vague .
For example , counsel ’ s declaration for Ahn is equivocal even about basic facts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Dkt .
No .
1-4 ¶3 ( “ On information and belief , Mr.Ahn is 74 years old .
The Department of Homeland Security alleges that he is a national of South Korea.
” ) .
The declaration contains additional statements that undermine the reliability of counsel ’ s averments about Ahn , such as that “ Mr.Ahn speaks limited English ” and so communication was through a “ professional telephonic interpretation service.
” For petitioner Saeturn , counsel ’ s declaration similarly states “ [ o ] n information and belief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” and that he not only “ speaks limited English ” but s “ also hard of hearing.
” ...
While the declaration states a telephonic interpretation service was used for Saeturn as well , it does not address any measures taken to address his challenged hearing .
A declaration by Moncada ’ s sister focuses solely on his mental health issues , … , which do not appear to be the basis of any claimed special vulnerability to COVID-19 .

Dickman also makes wholly conclusory and speculative statements such as , “ Mr.Ahn is virtually certain to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having examined Ahn or his medical records .

Now it makes no difference to Ahn 's case if he was an attempted murderer or a murderer .
In either case he should n't have been let out , as the Judge said .
But I 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's someone he tried to kill during Obama 's first term who can now rest easy because he wo n't be let out , or someone he actually killed , whose family can now rest easy .

The MSM is unlikely to let us know , but maybe readers with access to court records can let me know at jfulford @ vdare.com .

A 74-Year Old Korean suicided in ICE custody. He'd apparently done a ten-year penitentiary sentence for something, and then gone into ICE custody, to be deported to his native South Korea. There are many sob stories about him, all of which say that he committed "attempted murder with an enhancement for using a firearm," which, to be fair, is what the ICE press release says [South Korean man in ICE custody passes away in California, ICE, May 19, 2020].
He was the subject of a court decision refusing to release him, which is called 20-2604 - Ahn et al v. Barr et al, May 5, 2020, signed by Judge James D. Donato. [ PDF] Barr is the redoubtable William Barr, in his role as Attorney General. "Et al" is two other elderly felons awaiting deportation.
There seem to have been no legitimate medical issues with the three elderly deportable immigrants in custody, according to Judge Donato:

This is a surprising lacuna in the record because counsel did not aver or argue that they did not have reasonable access to their clients when preparing the TRO application.

No. 1-4 ¶3(“On information and belief, Mr. Ahn is 74 years old. The Department of Homeland Security alleges that he is a national of South Korea.”). The declaration contains additional statements that undermine the reliability of counsel’s averments about Ahn, such as that “Mr.Ahn speaks limited English” and so communication was through a “professional telephonic interpretation service.” For petitioner Saeturn, counsel’s declaration similarly states “[o]n information and belief, he is a national of Laos,” and that he not only “speaks limited English” but s “also hard of hearing.” ... While the declaration states a telephonic interpretation service was used for Saeturn as well, it does not address any measures taken to address his challenged hearing. A declaration by Moncada’s sister focuses solely on his mental health issues, …, which do not appear to be the basis of any claimed special vulnerability to COVID-19. The lack of meaningful medical evidence for petitioners is also striking. The declaration submitted by Dr. Samuel Dickman, M.D., does little more than track the declarations of counsel that are themselves deficient. ...6. Dr. Dickman states that he reviewed the “[m]edical records of Salvador Alfredo Moncada Hernandez,” but this appears to refer to the three pages of cursory notes that were submitted to the Court, which do not identify any conditions known to be COVID-19 risk factors. …Dr. Dickman also makes wholly conclusory and speculative statements such as, “Mr. Ahn is virtually certain to have coronary artery disease,” without ever having examined Ahn or his medical records. …Overall, the evidence of petitioners’ medical vulnerability, which is a lynchpin of their TRO and habeas arguments, is thin to the point of vanishing, even with a relaxed application of the rules of evidence.
So what happened is some sleazy Treason Lobby lawyers, associated with the ACLU of Southern California, found some elderly immigrants that they could claim were so old they might catch the Wu Flu and die.
See
That's a press release. It doesn't say Ahn had ever done anything bad, like attempted murder, just that he was in custody and ICE wouldn't let him out.
However, here's what Donato said about why he wasn't letting them out:
The public interest factors of danger to the community and risk of flight also weigh against releasing petitioners. See Winter, 555 U.S. at 20. Ahn was convicted of second degree murder; Moncada was convicted of attempted murder; and Saeturn was convicted of committing a lewd or lascivious act on a child under fourteen years and a subsequent failure to register as a sex offender.
When the Treason Lobby picks their sob story elderly immigrants, they're not picking their best.
Now it makes no difference to Ahn's case if he was an attempted murderer or a murderer. In either case he shouldn't have been let out, as the Judge said.
But I'd like to know, because either there's someone he tried to kill during Obama's first term who can now rest easy because he won't be let out, or someone he actually killed, whose family can now rest easy.

vdare--2020-05-20--Is Dan Crenshaw The New B-1 Bob Dornan?

Is Dan Crenshaw The New B-1 Bob Dornan?

Excellent call by James Kirkpatrick in comparing Rep. Dan Crenshaw to former Rep. Bob Dornan in his recent article .
Crenshaw is usually compared to Sen. John McCain .
But Dornan is a much better comparison .
McCain was a typical establishment politician and only seemed to really care about a few pet issues .
He even led the charge for amnesty .
Like Crenshaw , Dornan was a pretty conservative guy across the board .
The one time I met him was at a Young Americans for Freedom ( YAF ) party after the 1995 CPAC conference .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Joe Sobran and Howard Phillips .
I remember that Dornan was the only speaker to criticize affirmative action .
Also like Crenshaw , Dornan was tone deaf—or at least pretended to be—to the racial concerns of his voters .
The greatest example of this was the following statement in 1996 : This was around the same time his blue eyed , fair haired voters were desperately passing Propositions 187 and 209 to stop illegal immigration and affirmative action and perhaps save what was left of their beloved Golden State .
Dornan would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his demographically changing Orange County district to a woman named Loretta Sanchez .
I see the same thing in Crenshaw and it might be even more tragic than with Dornan .
As Kirkpatrick notes , Crenshaw is a capable debater and has a very admirable military record .
I might add that he has an A- grade from Numbers USA .
Dornan came across as a Hollywood stereotype of a conservative .
Crenshaw ’ s comments about birthright citizenship not being much of a problem and “ people who speak English ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Dornan ’ s comments in 1996 .
And will likely come back to haunt him in the same manner .
The district he represents in northwest Houston ( TX-2 ) is demographically changing similar to Orange County in the 1990s .
Whites are down to 49 percent of the population with Hispanics at 31 percent .
In 2018 , Crenshaw was elected to Congress by a seven-point margin ( 52 % -45 % ) .
But his Republican predecessor , Ted Poe , had run up a 24-point victory in 2016 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ can get in 2020 .
Insulting his base is a recipe for disaster .
Kirkpatrick ends his piece by noting that American nationalists will have to get rid of politicians such as Crenshaw .
But voters in his increasingly post-American district may well accomplish this task before we do .

Like Crenshaw, Dornan was a pretty conservative guy across the board. The one time I met him was at a Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) party after the 1995 CPAC conference. He spoke in a private hotel suite along with Joe Sobran and Howard Phillips. I remember that Dornan was the only speaker to criticize affirmative action.
Also like Crenshaw, Dornan was tone deaf—or at least pretended to be—to the racial concerns of his voters. The greatest example of this was the following statement in 1996:
“I want to see America stay a nation of immigrants. And if we lose our Northern European stock—your coloring and mine, blue eyes and fair hair—tough!”
This was around the same time his blue eyed, fair haired voters were desperately passing Propositions 187 and 209 to stop illegal immigration and affirmative action and perhaps save what was left of their beloved Golden State. Dornan would go on to lose the next election in his demographically changing Orange County district to a woman named Loretta Sanchez.

See, earlier: Twitter Deleted Michelle Malkin Clip After It Was Retweeted By Donald Trump—As DOJ Moves To Investigate Silicon Valley For Antitrust
Mona Charen attacked Michelle Malkin with this Tweet, which links to her piece at the Neocon, NeverTrump outlet The Bulwark:
Why it matters who Trump retweets. Is Holocaust Denial Conservative Now? https://t.co/OquWDbyzuM via @BulwarkOnline — Mona Charen (@monacharen) May 20, 2020
VDARE.com editor Peter Brimelow replied with this:

Michelle's speech, which Trump re-Tweeted, was not delivered at the Groyper meeting, but at an impeccably Conservatism, Inc. conference in Colorado, where people like Sarah Palin have spoken:
Charen's piece Is Holocaust Denial Conservative Now? Trump’s no-enemies-to-the-right mentality has made it impossible for the right to police itself, The Bulwark, May 20, 2020, starts by calling Michelle "disgraced columnist Michelle Malkin," repeats the "very fine people" libel about Trump supporting "neo-Nazis" after Charlottesville, et cetera, and goes on to say that Michelle, having been deplatformed by Conservatism, Inc for association with the young conservatives calling themselves the Groypers, ought to be deplatformed by everyone, including the President.
Charen also harks back to Michelle's 2004 In Defense of Internment to hint that Michelle was always a bit crazy. (In October 2001, Charen said that "There are thousands of Arabs in the United States at this moment on student and travel visas. They should all be asked, politely and without prejudice, to go home.")
But the whole thing is about conservatives being able to police themselves, which has always been a way of losing, going back to William F. Buckley and the John Birch Society. (The Birchers, a grass-roots anti-Communist organization, were accused by Buckley of being conspiracy theorists—in 2008, he reported gleefully in Commentary Magazine that he had conspired against them in 1964 [Goldwater, the John Birch Society, and Me, March 2008].)
But how "conservative" was Charen, ever? In 2012, she was one of the many "Useful Idiots" in Conservatism, Inc who took the side of George Zimmerman's attacker. [Trayvon and the Good Victim, TownHall.com, March 30, 2012]
In 2015, she was one of the many, many, NeverTrump maniacs at National Review, writing Contra Trump, It’s Not Illegal Immigration That’s to Blame for America’s Decline, August 21, 2015, in which she declared illegal immigrant crime a "myth".

Her most famous act of non-conservatism—or loyalty to Conservatism, Inc. NeverTrumpers—was when she chose to attack the Conservative Political Action Conference from the CPAC stage itself for inviting French populist politician Marion Le Pen in 2018. At the same time, she revived sexual assault accusations against Trump and Roy Moore.
One reader reported
The crowd's reaction to her vitriol was so intense that she had to be escorted out by security. [WATCH — ‘NeverTrump’ Columnist Booed, Escorted Out With Security After Calling Marion Le Pen CPAC Invite ‘A Disgrace,’ by Raheem Kassam and Oliver Lane, Breitbart, February 24, 2018].
Charen was immediately rewarded for what I can only describe as her treachery—she can't have told organizers what she was going to do—with space on the NYT Op-Ed page: I’m Glad I Got Booed At CPAC, February 25, 2018.
What this means is that she's no longer any kind of conservative, and in a sense, she never was.
Gatekeeping is now over.
