The idea of not admitting paupers and deporting immigrants who've become a "public charge" is traditional in America, and embodied in law. It was mentioned in Peter Brimelow's Alien Nation that enforcement, by the 90's, had become a dead letter, and one of the earliest things I read on the site was Whatever Happened To Deporting Immigrants As a Public Charge?, by James Edwards, May 19, 2001.
Trump has tried to enforce it, but various judges have been blocking it. Steve Sailer described one of those blocks as Federal Judge: The Huddled Masses Poem Isn't, Technically, the Law of the Land, But, Still, I'm Going to Rule as if It Were the Zeroth Amendment.
Obviously, this is pure kritarchy. The judges are just making stuff up for political reasons, and as usual, you can tell this from who appointed them:
The latest version makes this clear:
A panel of federal judges in New York on Wednesday denied the Trump administration’s request to begin a program aimed at cutting back benefits for immigrants while a lawsuit over the plan plays out in court. The ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit keeps in place a nationwide halt on President Trump’s "public charge" rule that links immigrants’ legal status to their use of public benefits. The three judges on the panel are all Democratic appointees. Judge Amalya L. Kearse was appointed to the bench by President Carter, Guido Calabresi by President Clinton, and Susan L. Carney by President Obama. The order came after the Trump administration sought to implement the program while it appeals a U.S.-wide injunction entered by a federal district judge in New York. Two similar injunctions were lifted last month by the Richmond, Va.-based 4th Circuit and the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit. Despite those decisions, however, the injunction from New York, which falls under the 2nd Circuit, continues to apply across the country. Appeals court refuses to lift injunction on immigrant 'public charge' rule, by John Kruzel, TheHill.com, January 8, 2019
The fact that one judge with one injunction can block the entire Federal government is wrong, and it's a fairly recent legal development. It's not just me that thinks that. Notre Dame Law Professor Samuel Bray has written a lot about the "National Injunction" on the Volokh Conspiracy blog.
In 2017, Jeff Sessions was attacked for saying he didn't think one judge "on an island in the Pacific," i. e. Hawaiian Judge Derrick Kahala Watson, should be able to endanger the whole country by blocking Trump's travel ban.
He defended himself ably, pointing out that
SESSIONS: Well, I think that was a perfectly correct statement. We have some 700 federal judges. One of them has now stopped the President of the United States, who is briefed daily from the Department of Defense, the CIA, the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, on the dangers and threats we face. He's issued a perfectly reasonable executive order that delays six countries for 90 days from being brought -- immigrants coming here because we cannot vet them. (CROSSTALK) SESSIONS: They are state sponsors of terrorism and three are states with terrorists -- VELSHI: Sir, I think the issue -- the issue is -- the issue is, as a former U.S. attorney and a former U.S. senator and as a lawyer, you sort of diminished a federal judge and you made some reference to somebody being in the middle of the Pacific, suggesting that if they're not on the mainland United States, it's not as important. SESSIONS: I wasn't diminishing the judge or the island of Hawaii, that beautiful place. Give me a break. I was just making the point that’s very real, one judge, out of 700, has stopped the President of the United States from doing what he believes is necessary to protect our safety and security. I believe it is constitutionally sound. I believe he has explicit statutory authority to do this act. We expect to prevail on appeal.
It was upheld on appeal—see Supreme Court Upholds Travel Ban, Shows Various Judges Who Attacked It WERE Crazy—but it shouldn't have been blocked in the first place.

We systematically estimated gene flow between Eurasian groups using genome-wide polymorphisms from 34 populations representing Europeans, East Asians and Central/South Asians. We identified recent gene flow between Europeans and Asians in most populations we studied, including East Asians and Northwestern Europeans, which are normally considered to be non-admixed populations. In addition we quantitatively estimated the extent of this gene flow using two statistical approaches and dated admixture events based on admixture linkage disequilibrium.

vdare--2020-01-08--Photographer Mark Peterson Shows Patriots Can't Trust The Lying Press

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes : I must admit I was surprised that the Main Stream Media responded to the emergent internet ’ s ability to debunk its propaganda ( Duke Lacrosse , UVA Rape Hoax , Covington Catholic ) by becoming even more flagrantly partisan ( besides , of course , calling for internet censorship ) .
Aren ’ t markets supposed to clear ?
But the result is that the myth of journalism as an impartial profession , which was receiving pious lip-service as recently as fifteen years ago , is now believed by no-one under 35 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve stopped accepting interviews with the MSM except by email—which is why I have on record Andrew Lawler ’ s malice and mendacity in The Secret Token , his book on Virginia Dare .
But Jared Taylor ’ s experience , cross-posted here , suggests you can ’ t even let the swine take photographs .
Last January , I got an email message from a photographer named Mark Peterson [ Email him ] who said he was working on “ a photo essay on free speech and those who are having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” and asked if I would let him take my picture .
Here is his complete message : Mr Taylor i am a photographer working on a photo essay on free speech and those that are having their constitutional right to free speech denied I would like to make a portrait of you in the coming month I am working on this project for the German magazine Stern and hoping to complete this project in the next few months .
here are a few of my recent covers that i have shot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peterson came to my house and took what must have been hundreds of pictures , so I asked him to send me a few .
He sent this .
Mr. Peterson also asked me to send him a few lines about who I am and about how my free speech is denied .
I sent him this : Jared Taylor describes himself as “ race realist ” and “ white advocate.
” He argues that race is a biological reality—not a social construct—and that race is an important part of individual and group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right to remain the majority in their traditional homelands , just as people of every other race do .
He wants all nations and ethnic groups to flourish , and believes this is most likely when societies are racially and culturally coherent .
Diversity is not a strength , but a source of conflict .
Taylor faces serious obstacles to expressing these views .
He and his organization , American Renaissance , have been banned from Twitter and Facebook .
His videos are routinely removed or “ restricted ” by YouTube .
PayPal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have cut ties with him .
Beginning in 1994 , he held conferences in hotel ballrooms , but “ antifa ” disruption and threats of violence forced hotel managers to cancel their contracts .
Taylor now holds conferences in government-owned venues that have a First Amendment obligation to serve his group , but this is not a secure refuge .
In 2018 he had to sue the state of Tennessee to prevent it from charging crushing security fees that the state said were needed to pay for armed protection against protesters and agitators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Taylor has learned that not many Americans have a principled belief in freedom of speech .
[ Links added . ]
Mr. Peterson wrote back : “ Really like what you wrote .
Thank you for that.
” That was a year ago and I forgot about it .
Well , last December , the “ photo essay on free speech ” appeared , but in New York magazine , not in the German magazine Stern .
And it was not about freedom of speech but about “ the threat of domestic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Charleston massacre .
It says there are “ 148 white-nationalist hate groups in this country , ” and warns that “ their violence is indisputable.

Crossposted from American Renaissance
VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: I must admit I was surprised that the Main Stream Media responded to the emergent internet’s ability to debunk its propaganda (Duke Lacrosse, UVA Rape Hoax, Covington Catholic) by becoming even more flagrantly partisan (besides, of course, calling for internet censorship). Aren’t markets supposed to clear? But the result is that the myth of journalism as an impartial profession, which was receiving pious lip-service as recently as fifteen years ago, is now believed by no one under 35. A practical consequence for me: I’ve stopped accepting interviews with the MSM except by email—which is why I have on record Andrew Lawler’s malice and mendacity in The Secret Token, his book on Virginia Dare. But Jared Taylor’s experience, cross-posted here, suggests you can’t even let the swine take photographs.
Last January, I got an email message from a photographer named Mark Peterson [Email him], who said he was working on “a photo essay on free speech and those who are having their constitutional right to free speech denied,” and asked if I would let him take my picture. Here is his complete message:
Mr Taylor
i am a photographer working on a photo essay on free speech and those that are having their constitutional right to free speech denied
I would like to make a portrait of you in the coming month
I am working on this project for the German magazine Stern
and hoping to complete this project in the next few months.
here are a few of my recent covers that i have shot on assignment http://time.com/4170817/in-the-latest-issue-55/ https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/magazine/can-jim-mattis-hold-the-line-in-trumps-war-cabinet.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/18/magazine/behind-the-cover-8-20-17.html
I said yes. Mr. Peterson came to my house and took what must have been hundreds of pictures, so I asked him to send me a few. He sent this.
Mr. Peterson also asked me to send him a few lines about who I am and about how my free speech is denied. I sent him this:
Jared Taylor describes himself as “race realist” and “white advocate.” He argues that race is a biological reality—not a social construct—and that race is an important part of individual and group identity. He believes whites have a right to remain the majority in their traditional homelands, just as people of every other race do. He wants all nations and ethnic groups to flourish, and believes this is most likely when societies are racially and culturally coherent. Diversity is not a strength, but a source of conflict. Taylor faces serious obstacles to expressing these views. He and his organization, American Renaissance, have been banned from Twitter and Facebook. His videos are routinely removed or “restricted” by YouTube. PayPal, Mailchimp, and even commercial printers have cut ties with him. Beginning in 1994, he held conferences in hotel ballrooms, but “antifa” disruption and threats of violence forced hotel managers to cancel their contracts. Taylor now holds conferences in government-owned venues that have a First Amendment obligation to serve his group, but this is not a secure refuge. In 2018 he had to sue the state of Tennessee to prevent it from charging crushing security fees that the state said were needed to pay for armed protection against protesters and agitators who vowed to shut down his conferences. Taylor has learned that not many Americans have a principled belief in freedom of speech.[Links added.]
Mr. Peterson wrote back: “Really like what you wrote. Thank you for that.”
That was a year ago and I forgot about it.
Well, last December, the “photo essay on free speech” appeared, but in New York magazine, not in the German magazine Stern. And it was not about freedom of speech but about “the threat of domestic terrorism.” It starts with Dylann Roof’s Charleston massacre. It says there are “148 white-nationalist hate groups in this country,” and warns that “their violence is indisputable.” It adds that photographer Mark Peterson has been “traveling the country to surface the extent of the activity and catalogue the most dangerous ideologies.” The introduction concludes: “Without a full accounting of the reality, there can be no remedy. To look away is a form of collaboration” [Inside the White Nationalist Terrorist Movement in America, December 19, 2019].
Then there are Mark Peterson’s photos of burning swastikas, hooded Klansmen, arm-band-wearing Nazis, bare-chested sieg heilers—and your servant. The photo Mr. Peterson sent to New York (brace yourself!) doesn’t look much like the one he sent me. One friend told me it looked like a survivor from a coal mine disaster.
And the text? Not a word from what I sent Mr. Peterson. Instead, this is how the article introduces me:
The FBI’s 2019 numbers [on hate crimes] won’t be available until next November, but indications suggest they will continue to trend upward. The most deadly mass shooting of 2019 was committed by a xenophobic extremist in El Paso, Texas. “Lone wolf” killers have found their pack. Fractured as it may be, the far right is now connected by public figures arguing for some form of ethno-nationalism. One such figure is Jared Taylor, founder of the New Century Foundation and the American Renaissance Conference, which brings together far-right leaders from various strands of neo-Nazism, the KKK, and the alt-right.
If you share the article on Twitter or Facebook, the title that goes along with it is “A Year Inside a Growing American Terrorist Movement.”
I’m a trusting guy. I’m willing to believe that Mr. Peterson could have had an assignment from Stern about free speech. Maybe it was cancelled and he decided to peddle his pictures to New York instead. So I wrote Mr. Peterson to ask what happened to the Stern assignment. Twice. That was more than a week ago and I have had no reply.
I’ll probably go to my grave still being surprised by such pathetic dishonesty.

If at first you don ’ t succeed , try try again : CNN on Tuesday settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor .

After Oscar Season’s Wildest Week, a Troubling Takeaway
As the field continues to narrow, female filmmakers and actors of color appear increasingly sidelined.
By Kyle Buchanan
Jan. 8, 2020, 1:06 p.m. ET
The week before the Oscar nominations on Jan. 13 was meant to be the most exciting phase of awards season yet: After a glittery Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday, many of the most important industry guilds and groups weighed in with their own nominations during the next two days, helping to clarify the Oscar race and winnow down the ultimate list of contenders.
So why is your Carpetbagger in no mood to celebrate?
Because that narrowing list has begun to exclude not just some of the most exciting performances and films of the season, but also many of the movies directed by women or featuring people of color. And though the academy, which is due to release its nominations next week, has taken great pains to diversify itself since the years of #OscarsSoWhite, this past week suggests that other awards bodies still have a lot of soul-searching to do, and that this issue may require a total shift in what’s considered weighty and worthy.
Just look at BAFTA, the British awards group that issued a list of nominations on Tuesday that failed to include even a single actor of color. … though BAFTA still found room in that category to nominate Margot Robbie for playing two different blondes.
Does BAFTA have a blind spot when it comes to race? I’ll just note that this group has failed to ever nominate Denzel Washington or Morgan Freeman, even though the two men have 13 Oscar nominations for acting and three Academy Award statuettes between them. That’s one awfully concerted cold shoulder.

While listening to news reports of what a monstrous threat Iran is , I ’ ve been wracking my brain to think of a single terrorist attack in this country committed by an Iranian .
If there is one , now would be a good time to mention it !
But I can ’ t find any .

It ’ s more likely that Mars will attack , and we didn ’ t just kill a Martian general .
Just in terms of American Lives Snuffed Out , the greatest threat to our country , hands down , comes from Mexico .
Doesn ’ t “ national security ” have something to do with keeping Americans alive ?
Mexican heroin killed at least 14,000 Americans last year .

Patrick J. Buchanan: Culture War In VA—Statues Of Washington And Lee To Be Replaced With...Nat Turner?

See , earlier , by Paul Kersey : BIRTH OF A NATION—New `` Nat Turner '' Movie Will Inspire More Black Violence Since 1969 , `` Virginia Is for Lovers '' has been the tourism and travel slogan of the Commonwealth of Virginia .
Advertising Age called it `` one of the most iconic ad campaigns in the past 50 years . ''
But the Virginia of 2020 seems to be another country than the friendly commonwealth to which this writer moved four decades ago .
Charlottesville , home to Thomas Jefferson 's University of Virginia , has become famous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clash with antifa over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from a municipal park .
During the clash , protester Heather Heyer was run over and killed .
There followed the inauguration of a new Democratic Governor , Ralph Northam , in 2018 and a new attorney general .
Both , it was learned , had masqueraded in blackface in their college days .
And two women accused their colleague , new Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax , with rape .
Resignations were demanded .
But all three hunkered down , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new cultural issue has emerged .
First-term Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton , from the D.C. suburbs , has denounced Virginia 's representation in the U.S. Capitol by statues of George Washington in the Rotunda and Robert E. Lee in the crypt a floor below .
Both statues have represented Virginia for more than a century .
Wexton wants Lee replaced by an African American hero from a list that she and Rep. A. Donald McEachin ( right ) reportedly submitted .
Two names on their list are unfamiliar figures from the desegregation days of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known : Nat Turner .
In `` The Americans : A Social History of the United States , '' published in 1969 , author J. C. Furnas describes the deeds of the man Wexton and McEachin would be pleased to see replace Robert E. Lee : '' In August 1831 , Nat Turner , paranoid slave preacher and cunjer man , led his superstition-fuddled followers to kill fifty-five whites of all sexes and ages in an aimless terrorizing of Southhampton County in the southeastern corner of Virginia .
`` The poor twisted creature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to sharpen Southern fears of a slave rising . ''
Turner was tried and hanged and , that winter , writes Furnas , `` The Virginia legislature voted down by a narrow margin a bill for gradual extinction of slavery . ''
Let me go out on a limb : If the Virginia General Assembly votes to replace Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol with a statue of Nat Turner , it will not be the unifying event Wexton imagines .
But the Assembly will be dealing soon with measures even more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lobby Day '' at the Assembly , thousands of gun advocates , many openly armed , will be coming to Richmond to protest new gun laws Northam and his new Democratic majority campaigned on and are determined to deliver .
Already , 110 towns , cities and counties in Virginia have created `` Second Amendment sanctuaries '' where new state laws that restrict gun rights will not be enforced by local authorities .
Still , the divisions among Virginians are not only over history , heroes and guns , they are also moral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Northam said he supported abortion through all nine months of pregnancy , and beyond , if an abortion were unsuccessful .
Here is Northam , in his own words , on the rights of the unborn : '' ( Third trimester abortions are ) done in cases where there may be severe deformities .
There may be a fetus that 's nonviable .
So in this particular example , if a mother is in labor , I can tell you exactly what would happen .
...
The infant would be delivered .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infant would be resuscitated if that 's what the mother and the family desired .
And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother . ''
Unlike the seven states of the Deep South , Virginia did not vote to secede and leave the Union until President Lincoln issued his call to arms to put down the rebellion after the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter .
Then the state of Virginia seceded from the Union as the colony of Virginia had seceded from Great Britain at Philadelphia 84 years before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secession is underway .
Virginians are separating from each other over issues as deep and divisive—such as who can take innocent life and when—as those that divided us in 1861 .
As are the rest of their countrymen in this time of Trump .
Patrick J. Buchanan needs no introduction to VDARE.COM readers ; his books State of Emergency : The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America , and Suicide of a Superpower : Will America Survive to 2025 ?

Since 1969, "Virginia Is for Lovers" has been the tourism and travel slogan of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Advertising Age called it "one of the most iconic ad campaigns in the past 50 years."
But the Virginia of 2020 seems to be another country than the friendly commonwealth to which this writer moved four decades ago.

There followed the inauguration of a new Democratic Governor, Ralph Northam, in 2018 and a new attorney general. Both, it was learned, had masqueraded in blackface in their college days. And two women accused their colleague, new Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, with rape.
Resignations were demanded. But all three hunkered down, and the crisis abated. Now a new cultural issue has emerged.
First-term Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, from the D.C. suburbs, has denounced Virginia's representation in the U.S. Capitol by statues of George Washington in the Rotunda and Robert E. Lee in the crypt a floor below. Both statues have represented Virginia for more than a century.
Wexton wants Lee replaced by an African American hero from a list that she and Rep. A. Donald McEachin (right) reportedly submitted.
Two names on their list are unfamiliar figures from the desegregation days of the 1950s. The third is better known: Nat Turner.
In "The Americans: A Social History of the United States," published in 1969, author J. C. Furnas describes the deeds of the man Wexton and McEachin would be pleased to see replace Robert E. Lee:
"In August 1831, Nat Turner, paranoid slave preacher and cunjer man, led his superstition-fuddled followers to kill fifty-five whites of all sexes and ages in an aimless terrorizing of Southhampton County in the southeastern corner of Virginia.
"The poor twisted creature could hardly have found a worse time to sharpen Southern fears of a slave rising." Turner was tried and hanged and, that winter, writes Furnas, "The Virginia legislature voted down by a narrow margin a bill for gradual extinction of slavery."
Nat Turner's terrorism had set back emancipation.
Let me go out on a limb: If the Virginia General Assembly votes to replace Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol with a statue of Nat Turner, it will not be the unifying event Wexton imagines.
But the Assembly will be dealing soon with measures even more volatile.
On Jan. 20, "Lobby Day" at the Assembly, thousands of gun advocates, many openly armed, will be coming to Richmond to protest new gun laws Northam and his new Democratic majority campaigned on and are determined to deliver.
Already, 110 towns, cities and counties in Virginia have created "Second Amendment sanctuaries" where new state laws that restrict gun rights will not be enforced by local authorities.
As the Washington Post writes,
"Virginia is a former Confederate State with strong rural traditions and lax gun laws. Guns represent the strongest, reddest line against the demographic changes that have seen Old Dominion voters usher in a new era of Democratic leadership in recent elections. "A Nevada-based group called the Oath Keepers said it is sending training teams to help form posses and militia in Virginia. The leader of a Georgia militia called Three Percent Security Force has posted videos and calls to arms on Facebook, urging 'patriots' to converge on Richmond."
Still, the divisions among Virginians are not only over history, heroes and guns, they are also moral and religious.
A year ago, Northam said he supported abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, and beyond, if an abortion were unsuccessful.
Here is Northam, in his own words, on the rights of the unborn:
"(Third trimester abortions are) done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that's nonviable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. ... The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."
Unlike the seven states of the Deep South, Virginia did not vote to secede and leave the Union until President Lincoln issued his call to arms to put down the rebellion after the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter.
Then the state of Virginia seceded from the Union as the colony of Virginia had seceded from Great Britain at Philadelphia 84 years before.
Today, it appears a new secession is underway. Virginians are separating from each other over issues as deep and divisive—such as who can take innocent life and when—as those that divided us in 1861.
As are the rest of their countrymen in this time of Trump.

From Morning Consult:

Some people who got this question wrong picked Iraq instead of Iran, which isn’t too far off.
But the maps used in this survey had the outlines of the countries marked.
The hardest challenge would be to click within Iran’s borders on a global map with no national boundaries drawn on it, such as the top map in this post (which was not used in this poll).
Presumably, among people who can find Iran on the map, a lot of them can do it because they have a rough idea how big Iran is and what it is shaped like.
It’s not uncommon to see silhouettes of countries when reading or watching news stories about them.
Without borders, finding Iran would be tougher, although as a coastal country it’s a lot easier than finding or (spelling) Kyrgyzstan.
I could do it by lining up the Caspian Sea and the northeast side of the Persian Gulf, but that’s a challenge.
Men are a lot more map and foreign conflict-oriented than women.

Our good friends at the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department not only put out an annual report on crime broken down by race, but a weekly analysis of the yearly crime rate.
Also, conveniently, the SLMPD breaks out violent crime by the race of suspects.

Suspects are known in only 42 percent of the homicides, with 75 of the suspects being black and 7 being white (there were 15 white victims of homicide in St. Louis in 2019).
Thus, in 2019 St. Louis, black suspects represent 91 percent of known suspects.
This means blacks are 9.28 times more likely than whites to be arrested for homicide in 2019 St. Louis. And remember: Only suspects are known in only 42 percent of the cases… odds the 58 percent of the remaining cases have a black suspect? Pretty high.

Back in his army days ten years ago Harry had somewhat of a reputation as a daredevil , prankster , and ladies ' man .

Immigration helps the U.S. economy, but it’s not as good for individual workers, particularly those at the low end of the wage scale for whom the increased competition for jobs leaves them worse off, the Congressional Budget Office said in a report this week. The findings both support and challenge conventional wisdom on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers from both parties generally view immigration as a net benefit. The CBO said that’s true for the overall economy, but not for those in low-skilled jobs. “Among people with less education, a large percentage are foreign born. Consequently, immigration has exerted downward pressure on the wages of relatively low-skilled workers who are already in the country, regardless of their birthplace,” the CBO said. [Lower-wage workers harmed by immigration, Congressional Budget Office report finds, by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, January 9, 2020]
Of course, immigration does not provide economic benefits as a whole, as Peter Brimelow explains. Yet at least the essential reason mass immigration exists, to facilitate the transfer of wealth from labor to capital, is finally being discussed. Obviously, the House Democrats on the Budget Committee don't want to hear this report from the CBO. Perhaps at least some Republicans will start making this argument, and the GOP can turn into the Workers' Party it needs to be in order to survive.
And if they don't do it, hopefully Tucker Carlson will.
