This Day In VDARE.com History, 2016: Immigrant Mass Murder Update: Honduran Illegal Burns FIVE Americans Alive In Fire. Why Wasn't He Deported?

Originally published on this day in 2016 .
Johnny Josue Sanchez was sentence to life in 2019 , being identified in news reports as `` man '' , `` transient '' , `` homeless man '' and a number of other tropes none of which would tell the reader that he was an illegal immigrant .
JoeMiller.US has a story on Immigrant Mass Murder .
Many Immigrant Mass Murders could have been prevented by either a deportation program or an immigration moratorium .
( You 're no less dead if you 're murdered by a legal immigrant . )
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Administration just not letting the the alleged killer go : The LA Times had a report on this mass murder in June .
It mentions the fact that he was a deportable illegal immigrant , but manages to not only avoid the term `` illegal immigrant '' , but the term `` immigrant '' at all .

Sanchez was among a group of people arrested by border patrol agents in 2012 for illegally entering the country at the southeastern California border , officials said .
He was released a week later after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immigration violations or criminal history , officials said .
Sanchez was placed under supervision and ordered to report regularly to immigration authorities , though for “ unknown reasons ” deportation proceedings were never begun , said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice .

The alleged killer was also alleged ( by himself ) to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ originally placed in a juvenile facility but DHS checked with the Honduran Consulate and found that he 'd been lying about his birth date .
So they transferred him out of the juvenile facility—and released him into American society , where he ( allegedly ) killed five people .

Originally published on this day in 2016. Johnny Josue Sanchez was sentenced to life in 2019, being identified in news reports as "man," "transient," "homeless man," and a number of other tropes none of which would tell the reader that he was an illegal immigrant.
JoeMiller.US has a story on Immigrant Mass Murder. Many Immigrant Mass Murders could have been prevented by either a deportation program or an immigration moratorium. (You're no less dead if you're murdered by a legal immigrant.)
This could have been prevented by the Obama Administration just not letting the alleged killer go:
Illegal Alien With A Violent History Charged With Killing 5. Now a GOP Senator Is Asking Questions The Republican leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee is seeking further answers from the Obama administration about why an illegal immigrant charged with murdering five homeless people in a Los Angeles arson fire this summer was not previously deported.
Here's a picture of the aftermath:
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa on Wednesday wrote a letter to Sarah Saldana, the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, asking follow-up questions related to the government’s response to a previous inquiry by the senator into how Johnny Josue Sanchez of Honduras, the suspect, was able to stay in the country despite having a violent history. “Specifically, [Grassley] is asking whether Sanchez was not considered a priority under the Obama administration’s Priority Enforcement Program and whether federal authorities were blocked by local sanctuary policies that prevent cooperation with federal immigration officials,” the letter states. Sanchez was arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office on June 13 for five counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder after he allegedly set fire to a vacant building where five homeless people were squatting, including four individuals from Iowa.
The LA Times had a report on this mass murder in June. It mentions the fact that he was a deportable illegal immigrant, but manages to not only avoid the term "illegal immigrant," but the term "immigrant" at all. Sanchez is a "Honduran citizen." Suspect in fire that killed 5 was here illegally, fought with another transient before slayings By Gale Holland and Richard Winton June 17, 2016 A Honduran citizen charged with murdering five homeless people in an arson fire was in the United States illegally and had been arrested three times in the months before the blaze in a vacant Westlake building where transients were squatting, officials said Friday. Johnny Josue Sanchez, 21, started the fire to avenge a beating he took in a dispute over occupying a room in the building, a law enforcement source said. Sanchez was among a group of people arrested by border patrol agents in 2012 for illegally entering the country at the southeastern California border, officials said. He was released a week later after agents determined that he had no previous immigration violations or criminal history, officials said. Sanchez was placed under supervision and ordered to report regularly to immigration authorities, though for “unknown reasons” deportation proceedings were never begun, said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice. [More] More from Joe Miller on Grassley and Goodlatte trying to find out what's going on:
Shortly after the incident, on June 27, Grassley and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to Jeh Johnson, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, to learn more about Sanchez, who, according to media reports, had been arrested three times in the months before the fire. ... Sanchez [had been] placed under supervision and ordered to report regularly to immigration authorities, but he stopped reporting in August 2014. But in January of this year, the Los Angeles Police Department arrested Sanchez on suspicion of domestic violence. He was arrested again in May and June on suspicion of drug possession. His most recent arrest was less than a week before he allegedly set fire to the Los Angeles building. He was released the next day. According to the Times, the Los Angeles Police Department does not honor immigration requests from the federal government to be notified of a person’s release from jail unless a warrant is issued or a judge has vetted the request.

I then said : My friend rebuked me thus : It is not correct simply to divide 12 by 3 and get 4 , and then to divide 35 by 13 and get 2.7 .

Your calculation is , in effect ( 35/13 ) / ( 87/87 ) , which is incorrect .
You can think of 35/13 as a calculation of disproportionality .
13 percent of the population accounts for 35 percent of prisoners .
But that means you also have to calculate 65/87 , because 87 percent of the population accounts only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resulting figures by themselves do not mean what you think they mean .
You have to divide the larger by the smaller to get the correct multiple .
The correct multiple for the black/white incarceration rate for Britain is , using the same calculation , 4.6 rather than 4 .
The tedious way to get the same result would be to take actual population and incarceration figures , and calculate an incarceration rate in terms of jailbirds per 100,000 population .
Then you have the same denominators ( 100,000 ) , so dividing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give you the correct multiple .
This is how you can check my method if you are skeptical .
My friend is quite right .
To salve my self-esteem , I shall write this off as a linguistic fault , not an arithmetic one .
I should have written something like `` The proportion of blacks as prison inmates is four times their proportion in the nation 's population … ''

Just a few.
(1) New Yorkish. In my September Diary I mentioned the common query "Jeet?" used when you want to know whether the counterparty has taken nourishment recently. Several readers reminded me of the related first person plural imperative form: "Squeet!"
(2) Brainteaser solution. (From that same diary.) There is a worked solution here.
(3) MAA goes full woke. Everybody and his brother—and his brother's dentist, and his brother's dentist's plumber's landscaper's assistant—has directed my attention to the October 2nd statement by a committee of the Mathematical Association of America urging "all members of our profession" (i.e., mathematicians) to embrace social-justice activism. I shall pass comment in my October 9th Radio Derb podcast.
(4) Mine Were of Trouble. Twelve years ago in my monthly diary I had a passing reference to Peter Kemp:
In conversation with some friends I mentioned Peter Kemp, the young Englishman who went off to fight for Franco in the Spanish Civil War and wrote a fine book about the experience, title Mine Were of Trouble. In spite of being badly wounded in Spain—half his jaw was blown off by a hand grenade; his comrades anesthetized him with brandy—Kemp went on to be a war lover, seeking out danger anywhere he could find it. This remarkable man seems to have sunk without trace. So has his book. I read it twenty years ago, but in a library copy. Thinking I'd like to read it again, I went to Abebooks.com, which has everything. The only copy of Mine Were of Trouble on Abebooks was a Spanish translation.
When I next checked eight years later
Amazon has no copies available. Abebooks had just one when I looked in late December, priced $269.95, "a darn nice ex-library copy." Darn nice? For that darn price, I should darn well hope so.
I have just heard from a reader that a small press reprinted Mine Were of Trouble earlier this year: See here. He adds: "There seems to be some criticism for the reprint's sloppy proofreading and omission of the original’s maps."
Alas, that is the norm nowadays. The art of proofreading is dead. We are in a lull between the age of good proofreading and the time, ten or twenty years from now, when Artificial Intelligence takes over and does the job properly.
As for the absence of maps:
Who the hell publishes a book about a major military campaign without including a single map? … This should be a felony. [From my August Diary.]
One more instance of this and I shall be in the mood to make it a capital felony.
(5) Sholokhov math. That same reader reminds me of the controversy—brought to the attention of English-language readers in 1974 by Solzhenitsyn—over Sholokhov having possibly plagiarized And Quiet Flows the Don from a Cossack or White Russian writer killed in the Civil War.
Much more recently, Norwegian mathematician Nils Lid Hjort conducted a thorough statistical analysis of the original Russian text, concluding that:
We may conclude that the sentence length data speak very strongly in Sholokhov’s favour, and dismiss D*'s allegations as speculations: the Stalin Prize in Literature 1941 went to the right person.
I can't judge how dispositive that is; and the way these controversies proceed, I have no doubt there are last-ditch defenders of the plagiarism hypothesis out there warming up to send me 1200-word rebuttals of Prof. Hjort. Life is short: I shall not read them.
(6) Gun pics. A reader chides me for having shown my Lee-Enfield with its bolt cocked. For photographic purposes, he says, the bolt should be open.
So it should. I am well chidden. But no, of course the gun was not loaded. I had only been easing the spring.
(7) Black/white incarceration rates. An old friend (of mine, and of this website) takes issue with some math I committed in my September 11th podcast.
I'd commented on a speech by black socialist member of Britain's parliament David Lammy, complaining about what he says is anti-black bias in the criminal justice system over there. Quoting official statistics, Lammy noted that black people make up 3 percent of the population of England and Wales but 12 percent of the prison population, compared with 13 percent and 35 percent respectively, in the USA. I then said:
So on those numbers from three years ago, British blacks are imprisoned at four times the nonblack rate, while in America it's only 2.7 times.
My friend rebuked me thus:
It is not correct simply to divide 12 by 3 and get 4, and then to divide 35 by 13 and get 2.7. To do so ignores the fact that every increase in crime rates by blacks, as expressed as a larger percentage of the prison population as compared to the percentage in the population reduces the corresponding rate for non-blacks. Let's consider the US. The correct calculation is (35/13)/(65/87), and the result is 3.6, not 2.7 — which is the answer you give. Your calculation is, in effect (35/13)/(87/87), which is incorrect. You can think of 35/13 as a calculation of disproportionality. 13 percent of the population accounts for 35 percent of prisoners. But that means you also have to calculate 65/87, because 87 percent of the population accounts only for 65 percent of prisoners. The resulting figures by themselves do not mean what you think they mean. You have to divide the larger by the smaller to get the correct multiple. The correct multiple for the black/white incarceration rate for Britain is, using the same calculation, 4.6 rather than 4. The tedious way to get the same result would be to take actual population and incarceration figures, and calculate an incarceration rate in terms of jailbirds per 100,000 population. Then you have the same denominators (100,000), so dividing the larger numerator by the smaller will give you the correct multiple. This is how you can check my method if you are skeptical.
My friend is quite right. To salve my self-esteem, I shall write this off as a linguistic fault, not an arithmetic one. I should have written something like "The proportion of blacks as prison inmates is four times their proportion in the nation's population …"


vdare--2020-10-06--What Year Does Biden Remember Better? 1960 or 2020?

Joe Biden is always announcing that we need these innovative new programs , like Sensitivity Training for police , that would have been cutting edge when he was 18 in 1960 , but by 2020 have already been in place for generations .
I actually think Joe Biden ’ s heart is in the right place , but I worry that when his young staffers tell him their demented 2020 ideas about race , rather than saying “ That ’ s crazy ” and firing them , he translates their nuttiness into his sensible Kennedyesque reformer mindset : We should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new-fangled Sensitivity Training !
I fear Joe remembers 1960 better than he remembers 2020 .
But doesn ’ t everybody these days ?
This is what makes it so hard to predict what a Biden Administration would be like .
I really don ’ t think Biden wants to do again to American cities what liberals did to them in the 1960s , but does he have the strength left in him to resist his own staff ?
Will President Biden be able to get it across to his staffers that he doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amok in America ’ s cities like it did the last time liberals got control of the criminal justice system ?
And if he does , will they have him canceled for saying things like : Joe apparently thinks that Critical Race Theory training for cops must be useful street-smart stuff like telling them cadets not to insult a black perp ’ s mother because even bad dudes like Corn Pop are surprisingly sensitive about that kind of thing and therefore likely to go ape on you , rather than being nonstop White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a lot of Millennial women staffers working in the West Wing ?
What if they declare on Instagram that they don ’ t feel safe around him sniffing their hair and telling them rambling “ racially charged ” anecdotes about Corn Pop ?
Seriously , I can imagine poor Joe getting into a personnel spiral where first , say , three black women staffers complain about how he has made them feel Unsafe , so then he has to promote them and hire more black women , who listen for even more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so he has to hire even more black women .
Then the gays and Asians and Latinx all try to get their own empire-building punched up by complaining about something Biden had said , and so forth and so on .
Joe would need a ruthless bastard chief of staff like Malcolm Tucker on The Thick of It or he ’ s going to get eaten alive by his own junior underlings .

vdare--2020-10-06--Michelle Malkin:  Beware of the Flu Shot Bullies

Dear skeptical Americans : You have every right and reason to be hesitant about rolling up your sleeves and submitting to flu vaccine jabs this year .
The public health-industrial complex bureaucrats who have flip-flop-flipped on universal mask-wearing during this COVID-19 chaos are the same ones now pushing universal flu shots .

Earlier by Michelle Malkin: Cashing In On Contact Tracing
Dear skeptical Americans: You have every right and reason to be hesitant about rolling up your sleeves and submitting to flu vaccine jabs this year.
The public health-industrial complex bureaucrats who have flip-flop-flipped on universal mask-wearing during this COVID-19 chaos are the same ones now pushing universal flu shots. Assurances about the safety and efficacy of seasonal influenza immunization should be taken with a boulder of salt. The actual scientific literature, as opposed to government-promoted propaganda, shows that safety and efficacy evidence is lacking on all fronts across all age groups.
Even more alarming: While gullible journalists regurgitate panicked talking points about a "twindemic" of COVID-19 and flu this fall and winter, scientific data suggests that taking the flu shot may increase the risk of influenza or other non-influenza respiratory viral infections.
Just four months ago, a study published by the Evidence-Based Medicine, Public Health and Environmental Toxicology Consortium investigated whether the seasonal flu vaccine played a role in increasing COVID incidence and mortality. "We found statistically significant positive correlations between" the vaccination coverage rate and reported COVID-19 incidence, "as well as mortality for Europe and the USA," the team reported. "A statistically significant positive correlation was also found between the VCR and the COVID-19 case fatality rate (CFR) for Europe. ... Our analysis indicates that receiving seasonal influenza vaccination(s) in the past might be an additional risk factor for the elderly in terms of enhanced susceptibility to infection with SARS-CoV-2 and higher likelihood of a lethal outcome in case of infection. More research about this possible risk factor is urgently needed."
You don't say.
But as always, Feckless Anthony Fauci casts his public health pronouncements as unassailable moral imperatives. (Remember: first, it was selfish to wear a mask because health workers needed them more than the rest of us did during shortages—and they didn't do anything to protect the wearer, anyway. Then, it was selfish not to wear a mask because we "have to do our part to stop the spread of COVID"—even though there is still no scientific support for universal mask mandates.) Well, Fauci now tells us that we all need flu shots because it's "our personal responsibility to protect ourselves," but also "the vulnerable around us, including young children, pregnant women, adults, 65 years of age or older and those with underlying chronic health conditions."
What Fauci won't tell you: health care workers have for years objected to mandatory flu shots, citing several meta-analyses by the respected Cochrane Collaboration and studies by other mainstream researchers showing weak or no evidence that vaccinated workers are less likely to transmit the flu virus. In fact, after publishing an analysis of 50 controlled studies of flu shots in healthy adults, the Cochrane Collaboration in 2010 found only "modest" benefits of reducing flu symptoms and concluded that there was "no evidence" that the shots affected flu complications such as pneumonia. The independent Cochrane researchers slammed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for ignoring the "quality of the evidence" and instead quoting "anything that supports their theory."
The Cochrane Systematic Reviews, the gold standard for evidence-based scientific analysis, studied flu shots in children and found that "little evidence is available for children younger than two years of age." Moreover, its researchers noted in 2012, "It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in children under two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy children from six months of age in the USA, Canada, parts of Europe and Australia." Six years later, the Cochrane team found there was still not enough data to determine the effect of vaccination on school absenteeism and parental work absenteeism. And the effect of repeat flu shots on kids, the team concluded, was "uncertain."
As for pregnant women: in 2017, a study conducted by the CDC itself and published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccine, reported an association between repeated flu vaccination and miscarriages. The results confirmed an earlier 2013 study published in Human & Experimental Toxicology that uncovered a flu shot-miscarriage link in women who received both the seasonal and the pandemic H1N1 flu shot during the 2008–2009 flu season. Earlier research hypothesized that a "synergistic fetal toxicity" might have resulted from receiving both pandemic and seasonal flu shots.
Independent journalist and researcher Jeremy R. Hammond, who has meticulously documented peer-reviewed scientific analyses of flu shot impact on children, pregnant women and the elderly, rightly summarizes the push for mandatory flu shots (now a reality for schoolchildren in Massachusetts) as a "mass uncontrolled experiment" without informed consent. How much longer will you be a guinea pig? Just say no to the flu shot bullies and ask this question:
Where are the "My body, my choice" zealots when you need them?

vdare--2020-10-05--Why NOT Go Back To “Your Country”—No Matter Where You Were Born?

So maybe it 's not THAT unreasonable to ask the locally born child of an immigrant to go `` back @ @ @ @ @ ancestors , where they have dual citizenship , where most of their family is , @ @ @ @ @ to be loyal .
For example , Mosleh thinks it 's a microaggression if people @ @ @ @ @ 's a Christian Arab or Muslim Arab , and also if they want to know @ @ @ @ @ , I. E. his ancestry : Why is that so hard to answer ?
Obama @ @ @ @ @ as far as I know ) but was able to say in a speech `` @ @ @ @ @ to be president '' .
It was a speech in Nairobi , and he , @ @ @ @ @ , would be entitled to reclaim the citizenship of his father

And minorities have been telling the Historic American Nation, established in 1587, to go Back To Europe for twenty years. You frequently see this on signs at protests carried by illegal immigrants from Mexico.
So maybe it's not THAT unreasonable to ask the locally born child of an immigrant to go "back" to home of their ancestors, where they have dual citizenship, where most of their family is, and to which they seem to be loyal.
For example, Mosleh thinks it's a microaggression if people want to know if he's a Christian Arab or Muslim Arab, and also if they want to know where he's really from, i.e., his ancestry:
Why is that so hard to answer? Obama was born in Hawaii (as far as I know) but was able to say in a speech "I'm the first Kenyan-American to be president." It was a speech in Nairobi , and he, like many children of immigrants, would be entitled to reclaim the citizenship of his father

What a difference a week can make.
Saturday, Sept. 26, was among the best days of the Trump presidency, or so some of us thought watching the president introduce in the Rose Garden his sterling candidate for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court.
The academic and professional credentials of Amy Coney Barrett, 48, a U.S. appeals court judge, were superb. Moreover, she was a devout Catholic and mother of seven, two of whom were adoptees from Haiti.
From every standpoint, a 10-strike for Donald Trump.
Ahead was the Tuesday debate, the first of three with Joe Biden, and the long-awaited opportunity to expose Sleepy Joe's visible loss of mental and verbal acuity in the four years since he was vice president.
Sunday, however, The New York Times detonated a bomb directly beneath the Trump campaign. Declaring that it had Trump's tax returns, the Times story blared:
"Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750. He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years—largely because he reported losing much more money than he made."
Far from being a billionaire, the Times said, Trump was mired in debt with hundreds of millions of dollars in loans coming due in 2021.
Suddenly, Trump was on the defensive. And in the Cleveland debate, he began a series of accusations and insults that lasted 90 minutes. The debate was widely declared the worst in U.S. presidential history.
Moderator Chris Wallace and the media agreed that the descent into chaos was caused by the endless interruptions of Trump.
Believing he accomplished what he had come to do, Trump headed out for the friendly country of Minnesota's Iron Range. On the return trip on Air Force One, Hope Hicks, feeling unwell, was quarantined.
She later tested positive for COVID-19.
At 1 a.m. Friday, came word came that both the president and first lady had tested positive. By evening, Marine One was transporting Trump from the White House to Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda.
Saturday came the doctors' report that the president was doing well, followed by chief of staff Mark Meadows' backgrounder suggesting that Trump's situation had been more serious than the country knew.
Came then news that some of Trump's guests at the Rose Garden ceremony had tested positive: campaign manager Bill Stepien, Governor Chris Christie of his debate prep team, Kellyanne Conway, and Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, both of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will vote on Judge Barrett.
Sunday, with a crowd in front of Walter Reed loudly cheering for him, Trump commandeered an SUV and ordered it to drive by his followers so he could wave to them. In the front seat of the SUV, in masks and protective gear, were Trump's Secret Service agents.
The cumulative impact of these 10 days has been distracting at best and dreadful at worst. And the pressure from Trump, to get back to the White House and the campaign, suggests this is his take as well.
The coronavirus and how he has handled it, the contraction of COVID-19 and how Trump got infected, his prior mockery of masks and ridicule of many who wear them, the specter of thousands of maskless Trumpsters at MAGA rallies—all are now the stuff of front-page news and back-page commentary.
The nation tends to respond sympathetically when the president faces a life-threatening situation. It did so to Ike's heart attack in 1955, and to Reagan after he was shot at the Washington Hilton by John Hinckley and then had colon cancer surgery early in his second term.
But Trump may have forfeited some of that sympathy by his mocking the wearing of masks.
On the weekend after the Trump-Biden debate, a Wall Street Journal poll found that Trump had fallen 14 points behind Biden, and, in an average of national polls, Biden now led him by 8 points.
Trump has four weeks to turn it around. And his task, while easy to describe, is not so easy to accomplish. He needs to persuade undecided and soft Biden voters that Joe is simply not up to the job of president.
Assuming he is well enough to campaign as he used to, Trump has to convince the country that Joe Biden is too big a risk to take. He has two more debates to do what he failed to do in the first debate.
Wednesday will be Mike Pence's opportunity, in his debate with Kamala Harris, to show that Trump made the right call in choosing him.
He can pay back the favor by exposing the radicalism of the people and policies Joe Biden would bring with him into the White House.

It’s not remembered much, but what cost Al Gore the presidency in 2000 was that blacks messed up their ballots that they tried to cast in person at a higher rate than whites did, judging by the demographics of precincts.
More Florida voters attempted to vote for poor Al than for Bush, but more Bush voters successfully executed. Here’s a New York Times article from the middle of the recount:
COUNTING THE VOTE: DUVAL COUNTY; Democrats Rue Ballot Foul-Up In a 2nd County
By RAYMOND BONNER with JOSH BARBANEL
Published: November 17, 2000 Democrats in Duval County prepared meticulously for Election Day. They registered thousands of voters and ferried enough people to the polls in predominantly African-American precincts to give a solid boost to Vice President Al Gore in a county expected to swing reliably into Gov. George W. Bush’s column. But the results of Duval County’s vote left Democrats here shaking their heads. More than 26,000 ballots were invalidated, the vast majority because they contained votes for more than one presidential candidate. Nearly 9,000 of the votes were thrown out in the predominantly African-American communities around Jacksonville, where Mr. Gore scored 10-to-1 ratios of victory, according to an analysis of the vote by The New York Times. The percentage of invalidated votes here was far higher than that recorded in Palm Beach County, which has become the focus of national attention and where Democrats have argued that so many people were disenfranchised it may be necessary to let them vote again. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have demanded a hand recount or new election in Duval County. Local election officials attributed the outcome to a ballot that had the name of presidential candidates on two pages, which they said many voters found confusing. Many voters, they said, voted once on each page. The election officials said they would not use such a ballot in the future. Rodney G. Gregory, a lawyer for the Democrats in Duval County, said the party shared the blame for the confusion. Mr. Gregory said Democratic Party workers instructed voters, many persuaded to go to the polls for the first time, to cast ballots in every race and ”be sure to punch a hole on every page.” ”The get-out-the vote folks messed it up,” Mr. Gregory said ruefully. If Mr. Gregory’s assessment is correct, and thousands of Gore supporters were inadvertently misled into invalidating their ballots, this county alone would have been enough to give Mr. Gore the electoral votes of Florida, and thus the White House. The voters turned out by Democrats, Mr. Gregory said, took the instructions to vote in every race to mean: ”I’ve got to vote for Gore. I’ve got to be sure Bush doesn’t get elected. I’ve got to vote on every page.”
Here’s La Griffe du Lion’s analysis of how the standard IQ gap between the races explains much about the different rates of failing to execute voting properly.
The Democrats missed several opportunities before and after the 2000 election to help Gore win because they didn’t understand that the IQ gap meant that their black voters would mess up more often.
I have no idea if the Democrats have figured that out since then. On one hand, it would be very much in their interest to keep in mind the racial IQ gap when thinking about voting procedures. On the other hand: crimethink!

President Donald Trump previously reported he earned capital gains from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Gilead Sciences Inc., the manufacturers of two of the medicines he’s taken as part of his COVID-19 treatment plan.
According to a 2017 financial disclosure form filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in June 2017, Trump had a capital gain of $50,001 to $100,000 for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and $100,001 to $1 million for Gilead Sciences Inc. The form notes the information was of April 15, 2017.
Trump’s subsequent disclosure forms, including his 2020 form signed July 31, did not list Regeneron or Gilead.
Trump received a single 8-gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail as a precautionary measure, according to his physician Sean Conley. The antibody cocktail is in four late-stage clinical trials, and its safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority, the company said on its webpage.

Trump Projects Strength After COVID-19 Recovery. Maybe That’s Not What Post-Americans Want But It’s What Real Americans Need

President Donald Trump projected strength , authority , and leadership after he recovered from COVID-19 .
The optics were undeniably impressive when President Trump dramatically removed his mask and saluted Marine One .
The resulting meltdown of the Main Stream Media/Dem Complex was amusing .
Those may not be the values our fallen country wants in a leader anymore .
But they ’ re what we need .
One could palpably sense the MSM and the entertainment industry ’ s disappointment when President Trump didn ’ t die .
Actor Jim Carrey , whose Twitter feed is practically deranged , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ karma ” teaming up to show the danger of the virus [ SNL doesn ’ t hold back on jokes about Trump ’ s COVID-19 diagnosis : ‘ There ’ s a lot funny about this , by Emily Yahr , National Post , October 5 , 2020 ] .
( There ’ s similar morbid anticipation about Stephen Miller , who was just diagnosed with COVID-19 and who we hope recovers quickly [ Stephen Miller tests positive for COVID-19 , by John Bowden and Brett Samuels , The Hill , October 6 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course no-one would ever dare “ joke ” about Ruth Bader Ginsburg , or for that matter the sainted George Floyd , unless you were unconcerned about your economic and physical safety .
Nonetheless , our president , a relatively old and undoubtedly obese man who is not noted for his healthy diet or exercise habits , beat the disease with relative ease over a weekend—apparently in part thanks to the Remdesivir treatment .
He returned in typically Trumpian style , flying back dramatically to the White House on Marine One and then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump back at White House after being discharged from Walter Reed , by Melissa Quinn et al.
, CBS News , October 6 , 2020 ] .
Trump also spoke against letting the virus “ dominate ” your life .
The optics were undeniably impressive .
Aesthetics are an important part of governance , as great leaders have known from the beginning .
Needless to say , this led to cries of fascism and authoritarianism .
Apparently , using a balcony is now itself quasi-fascist , though every president has done it since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And President Trump stripped off his mask while on the balcony , which itself triggered countless hit pieces .
• Trump returns to White House and removes mask despite having Covid , by Kevin Liptak and Maeve Reston , CNN , October 5 , 2020 • At the White House , Trump Takes Off His Mask And Sends A Dangerous Message , by Amy Davidson Sorkin , The New Yorker , October 6 , 2020 • Trump , still infectious , back at White House – without mask , by Zeke Miller @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Associated Press , October 6 , 2020 Of course , there ’ s no point to wearing a mask when you are by yourself , outside , at your own residence .
It would be like wearing a mask in a car by yourself—which , for some reason , some people do .
Such antics are either virtue-signaling or , if imposed , a humiliation ritual .
The latter may be the point [ Commentary : The media ’ s insane reaction to Trump ’ s balcony appearance proves that they WANT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leon Wolf , The Blaze , October 6 , 2020 ] .
There ’ s also a tremendous amount of hypocrisy involved .
Chris Cuomo ( Andrew Cuomo ’ s younger , less successful brother ) ranted and swore about the president ’ s actions in an embarrassing on-air display .
However , Cuomo himself broke quarantine when he had COVID-19 , and even managed to get into an altercation about it while outside and on the street [ Chris Cuomo ripped over hypocrisy of mocking Trump ’ s White House return , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , October 6 , 2020 ] .
Needless to say , the MSM has the ability to not merely tolerate but to essentially suppress unpleasant truths , notably Chris ’ s brother Andrew Cuomo ’ s mismanagement of the outbreak in New York [ In Worst-Hit Covid State , New York ’ s Cuomo Called All The Shots , by Jimmy Vielkind , Joe Palazzolo , and Jacob Gershman , Wall Street Journal , September 11 , 2020 ] .
Andrew Cuomo still enjoys a very high approval rating , 59 percent overall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handling of the outbreak , even though he has indisputably failed [ Poll : Voters Continue to Approve of Cuomo ’ s Handling of Pandemic , by Nick Reisman , Spectrum News , October 2 , 2020 ] .
Progressive David Sirota correctly notes that this shows politics has grown more shallow and that a politician can fail but still be popular “ if you ’ re on television making declarative statements and if you happen to have a brother who runs a major show on CNN and get to banter with your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Cuomo ’ s approval ratings shows politics is getting more and more shallow , The Hill , May 8 , 2020 ] This institutional MSM support is what Joe Biden depends on .
His response to President Trump taking off the mask on the balcony : a tweet saying “ Wear A Mask , ” which received over 555,000 likes .
Similarly , Biden ’ s speech in Gettysburg today contained no energy and a “ crowd ” sitting inside social distancing circles .
Though he spoke about the importance of masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he spoke about the need for “ unity ” [ Biden says United States is in a ‘ dangerous place ’ and calls for unity in Gettysburg speech , by Eric Bradner , CNN , October 6 , 2020 ] .
Of course , there was one group left out of this “ united ” American people–the evil white supremacists .
Biden condemned “ armed militias roaming America ’ s streets ” and said “ we should have no tolerance for extremist White supremacist groups menacing our communities.
” Of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burning down cities nationwide .
But relatively large number of Americans , due to media gaslighting and Democrat loyalties , apparently do believe it is “ right-wing radicals ” who are responsible .
And Biden is not referring to the all-black “ Not F*cking Around Coalition ” when he condemns armed militias .
This particular militia held another one of its armed protests a few days ago .
It ended on a rather uninspiring note when one member was reportedly arrested after an accidental discharge [ NOT F*UCKING AROUND : Black Militia Protests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , by Jordan James , Politicalite , October 6 , 2020 ] .
As Steve Sailer recently noted , Joe Biden seems to be in a kind of time warp where someone other than liberal Democrats have been in charge of race relations for the last 60 years .
However , Biden ’ s speech also had an ominous undertone .
It consisted of almost Simpsons-level cliches about being “ united ” —except when he began using eliminationist rhetoric about giving “ no license ” to “ hate.
” Who defines “ hate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the things Leftists say about President Trump , let alone VDARE.com , are hateful .

President Donald Trump projected strength, authority, and leadership after he recovered from COVID-19. The optics were undeniably impressive when President Trump dramatically removed his mask and saluted Marine One. The resulting meltdown of the Main Stream Media / Dem Complex was amusing. Those may not be the values our fallen country wants in a leader anymore. But they’re what we need.
One could palpably sense the MSM and the entertainment industry’s disappointment when President Trump didn’t die. Actor Jim Carrey, whose Twitter feed is practically deranged, “joked” about “science and karma” teaming up to show the danger of the virus [SNL doesn’t hold back on jokes about Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis: ‘There’s a lot funny about this,' by Emily Yahr, National Post, October 5, 2020]. (There’s similar morbid anticipation about Stephen Miller, who was just diagnosed with COVID-19 and who we hope recovers quickly [Stephen Miller tests positive for COVID-19, by John Bowden and Brett Samuels, The Hill, October 6, 2020]).
But of course no one would ever dare “joke” about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, or for that matter the sainted George Floyd, unless you were unconcerned about your economic and physical safety.
Nonetheless, our president, a relatively old and undoubtedly obese man who is not noted for his healthy diet or exercise habits, beat the disease with relative ease over a weekend—apparently in part thanks to the Remdesivir treatment.
He returned in typically Trumpian style, flying back dramatically to the White House on Marine One and then saluting the Marines from the balcony [Trump back at White House after being discharged from Walter Reed, by Melissa Quinn et al., CBS News, October 6, 2020]. Trump also spoke against letting the virus “dominate” your life.
The optics were undeniably impressive. Aesthetics are an important part of governance, as great leaders have known from the beginning.
Needless to say, this led to cries of fascism and authoritarianism. Apparently, using a balcony is now itself quasi-fascist, though every president has done it since Truman built the thing in the Fifties.

And President Trump stripped off his mask while on the balcony, which itself triggered countless hit pieces.
Of course, there’s no point to wearing a mask when you are by yourself, outside, at your own residence. It would be like wearing a mask in a car by yourself—which, for some reason, some people do. Such antics are either virtue-signaling or, if imposed, a humiliation ritual. The latter may be the point [Commentary: The media’s insane reaction to Trump’s balcony appearance proves that they WANT you to live in fear, by Leon Wolf, The Blaze, October 6, 2020].
There’s also a tremendous amount of hypocrisy involved. Chris Cuomo (Andrew Cuomo’s younger, less successful brother) ranted and swore about the president’s actions in an embarrassing on-air display. However, Cuomo himself broke quarantine when he had COVID-19, and even managed to get into an altercation about it while outside and on the street [Chris Cuomo ripped over hypocrisy of mocking Trump’s White House return, by Lee Brown, New York Post, October 6, 2020].
Needless to say, the MSM has the ability to not merely tolerate but to essentially suppress unpleasant truths, notably Chris’s brother Andrew Cuomo’s mismanagement of the outbreak in New York [In Worst-hit Covid State, New York’s Cuomo Called All The Shots, by Jimmy Vielkind, Joe Palazzolo, and Jacob Gershman, Wall Street Journal, September 11, 2020]. Andrew Cuomo still enjoys a very high approval rating, 59 percent overall, with 73 percent approving of his handling of the outbreak, even though he has indisputably failed [Poll: Voters Continue to Approve of Cuomo’s Handling of Pandemic, by Nick Reisman, Spectrum News, October 2, 2020].
Progressive David Sirota correctly notes that this shows politics has grown more shallow and that a politician can fail but still be popular “if you’re on television making declarative statements and if you happen to have a brother who runs a major show on CNN and get to banter with your brother on CNN” [David Sirota: Cuomo’s approval ratings shows politics is getting more and more shallow, The Hill, May 8, 2020].
This institutional MSM support is what Joe Biden depends on. His response to President Trump taking off the mask on the balcony: a tweet saying “Wear A Mask,” which received over 555,000 likes.
Similarly, Biden’s speech in Gettysburg today contained no energy and a “crowd” sitting inside social distancing circles. Though he spoke about the importance of masks, he did not wear one himself as he spoke about the need for “unity” [Biden says United States is in a ‘dangerous place’ and calls for unity in Gettysburg speech, by Eric Bradner, CNN, October 6, 2020].
Of course, there was one group left out of this “united” American people—the evil white supremacists. Biden condemned “armed militias roaming America’s streets” and said “we should have no tolerance for extremist White supremacist groups menacing our communities.”
Furthermore:
There is no place for hate in America. It will be given no license. It will be given no oxygen. It will be given no safe harbor. [Biden vows not to allow ‘White supremacists to overturn the America of Lincoln, by Paul Steinhauser and Allie Raffa, Fox News, October 6, 2020]
Of course, it is not “white supremacists” burning down cities nationwide. But relatively large number of Americans, due to media gaslighting and Democrat loyalties, apparently do believe it is “right-wing radicals” who are responsible.
And Biden is not referring to the all-black “Not F*cking Around Coalition” when he condemns armed militias. This particular militia held another one of its armed protests a few days ago. It ended on a rather uninspiring note when one member was reportedly arrested after an accidental discharge [Not F*cking Around: Black Militia Protests in US over Shooting of Trayford Pellerin, by Jordan James, Politicalite, October 6, 2020].
As Steve Sailer recently noted, Joe Biden seems to be in a kind of time warp where someone other than liberal Democrats have been in charge of race relations for the last 60 years.
However, Biden’s speech also had an ominous undertone. It consisted of almost Simpsons-level cliches about being “united”—except when he began using eliminationist rhetoric about giving “no license” to “hate.”
Who defines “hate?” I’d say some of the things Leftists say about President Trump, let alone VDARE.com, are hateful.
Furthermore, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution should be “license” enough for any speech that isn’t an explicit incitement to violence, even if journalists or politicians consider it “hate.”
Perhaps Joe Biden does not literally mean that he wants to criminalize certain political viewpoints or persecute certain groups. But does anyone (even Joe Biden) truly believe he will be the person with the power in the Administration?
Joe Biden may win the election precisely because everyone understands that he won’t be running the show. He’ll simply be a front for a regime held together by banalities, invented enemies, and a viciously totalitarian Cultural Marxist order that punishes anyone who identifies with the Historic American Nation.
Biden has even called himself a “transition candidate,” someone who will pass the torch to the non-white Democrats [Biden’s comments on how long he’ll serve put spotlight on VP search, by Will Weissert, Detroit News, May 17, 2020]. These new Democrats have far fewer scruples about abandoning immigration enforcement or using the state to curtail speech.
The last few years have also shown that journalists and their Democrat allies are deeply disturbed at the idea of any person, even one elected president, challenging the bureaucracy or the administrative state. If Trump has accomplished anything, he’s forced the Deep State to reveal its hand. Many Democrats positively want the Deep State to run the show. A harmless figurehead who will “trust science” or “listen to the experts” is preferable to a man of strong will who appeals to heroic virtues…even if Donald Trump’s actions have never quite matched his aesthetic.
Unless almost every poll is an outright fraud, Joe Biden is winning and by quite a large margin. A President Biden would represent the installation of a quasi-permanent regime. Big Tech deplatforming, MSM bias, woke capitalism, and outright state repression would crush conservatives, Christians, whites, and anyone else attached to the old America.
When Biden steps aside, his handlers will intensify the tyranny. “White supremacists” will fit the role kulaks did in the Soviet Union, becoming the scapegoat for all the regime’s inevitable failures and America’s relative decline in power. Despite white “racism” having no real power, the hysteria is much higher now than it was just a few years ago, and there’s no reason to suspect it will cool off if/when the Democrats retake power.
The only thing that can oppose such an all-encompassing regime: strong personal leadership, an American Caesar. This is what many people thought they were getting with President Trump in 2016, which is why the “God-Emperor” memes were only semi-joking.
But while President Trump is clearly attached to the trappings of power, he lacks the knowledge or ability to fully use it.
We can hope that whatever American patriot leader comes next won’t be so pusillanimous about wielding state power.
Unfortunately, with the Democrats already telegraphing their intentions for sweeping constitutional and legal changes, the GOP—and the Historic American Nation—may not get another chance after November.

Only in a script eagerly given a greenlight by a Hollywood executive (or quickly made into a miniseries for a streaming service) does the following story ever have a white suspect and black victim.
In reality, there are two black suspects and one white victim.
His name is Nelson Vega.
Boys, 16, charged as adults, accused of killing man to go for joy ride in his Mercedes, South Florida Sentinel, October 2, 2020 Two teenagers accused of murdering a bartender to steal his Mercedes were charged as adults Friday. Gershon Woods, who turns 17 on Saturday, and Nathaniel Williams, 16, could face life in prison as a result of being treated as adults by the courts, facing murder charges in the killing of Nelson Vega last month. The boys said they planned to steal Vega’s car to go joyriding, police said. Nelson Vega, who was described by friends as a charismatic 39-year-old bartender from Miramar, had left the J.P. Mulligan’s sports bar with his girlfriend. He walked her to her door and, according to the teens’ account to police, left the keys in his car with the engine running. When he came back to the car, one teen claimed Vega came at them, and so both teens fired at Vega at the same time. According to a police report on Sept. 13, Vega suffered two gunshot wounds to his chest and a third shot to his pelvis. Woods and Williams appeared in court Friday online from the Paul Rein Detention Facility. They are charged with second-degree murder and carjacking and are being held without bond. All cases that might qualify as first-degree murders are being filed as second-degree murders because the grand jury is unable to meet due to the pandemic, said State Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Paula McMahon. When those proceedings resume, prosecutors expect to present this case to grand jurors to decide the appropriate charge, she said. “With the information they have now, prosecutors anticipate that they would seek life in prison … if the grand jury issues an indictment,” she said.
Never relax around Africans in America is the maxim. It’s a saying with far more veracity and verifiable evidence to support the claim then those who claim “diversity is our greatest strength.”
Never, ever leave your keys in the ignition or keyless vehicle running as your pump gas or drop your girlfriend off. Never. Ever.
Never relax. Never drop your guard when surrounded by the boundless joy of diversity.
Because only in heavily scripted television series or Hollywood films is diversity a strength.
In the real world, it’s just the undoing of social capital and nations.
