vdare--2020-04-15--Ann Coulter On Reopening The Country:  Liberalism, Like The Wuhan Virus, Will Never Die

Earlier by Ann Coulter On Coronavirus : How Do We Flatten The Curve On Panic ?
The media are outraged that President Trump is talking about re-opening the country , following their previous position that he sure was taking his sweet time at opening up the country .
Fortunately , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 's death forecasts from the Wuhan coronavirus have shrunk from 1.7 million Americans in mid-March ; to 100,000 to 200,000 two weeks ago , provided there were massive suppression efforts ; to—most recently—60,000 .
Every week , it seems , we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apex.
” According to a model recently published in The New York Times , if Trump had issued social distancing guidelines just two weeks earlier—on March 2 , rather than March 16—instead of 60,000 Americans dying from the Chinese coronavirus ( projected ! )
, only 6,000 would have died .
If that ’ s what a two-week quarantine would have done , then how about a four-week quarantine ?
By the end of the month , 90 % of the country will have been shut down , quarantined and socially distancing for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have already been under these self-isolation rules for three weeks .
( And most of the rest live in rural communities 16 miles from one another . )
Two weeks is the magic number .
Test positive for the Wuhan : self-quarantine for two weeks .
Come into contact with someone who has it : self-quarantine for two weeks .
Traveling from New York , New Jersey or Connecticut : self-quarantine for two weeks .
With cold and flu viruses , people develop symptoms after just five days .
But to be extra @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan virus can be transmitted for a full two weeks after contact .
After two weeks , you ’ re either sick or the infection has passed through you with no symptoms .
Again : It ’ s been three .
Does social distancing work or doesn ’ t it ?
After four weeks of self-isolation , won ’ t 90 % of the country be Wuhan-free ?
Or are we in a sci-fi movie with a virus that can live forever without a host ?
For the tiny percentage of the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks , either because they are essential workers or because they are screw-offs , let ’ s add them to the “ vulnerable ” list .
Everyone take special precautions around doctors , nurses , grocery store employees and people who don ’ t follow orders—just as we do around the elderly and immunocompromised .
By May 1 , even most of the slackers will have worked through the Wuhan .
There haven ’ t been any large gatherings for them to attend , and almost everyone else has been staying 6 feet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had a month to infect one another and either live or die .
In any event , unless all the claims about social distancing are nonsense , then a ONE-MONTH nationwide quarantine should have killed off the Wuhan in 90 % of us , allowing a return to mostly normal life .
( It goes without saying that Trump ’ s travel bans will have to remain in place . )
I notice that the same people telling Americans they must remain at home indefinitely were indignant about closing bathhouses in response to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media and all gays except Randy Shilts said : How dare you ask us to shut down the bathhouses !
They ’ re part of gay culture .
It would be like asking Catholics to stop visiting the Sistine Chapel !
But putting the entire country under stay-at-home orders ?
No problem .
Another liberal about-face since the AIDS era gives me an idea for how to re-open the country .
Liberals are furious with Trump for expressing optimism about the experimental drug hydroxychloroquine .
When it came to AIDS , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compel the FDA to allow “ compassionate ” use of unapproved drugs was a civil rights milestone on the order of Selma .
In a 1990 editorial , for example , The New York Times praised the “ educated and articulate ” gay spokesmen for bringing about “ changes in the traditional methods of testing drugs , ” adding that the new procedures were “ a compassionate response to AIDS sufferers.
” By contrast , today the media are absolutely ghoulish in their hope for hydroxychloroquine to fail .
The drug is approved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s “ safe ” ; it ’ s simply not approved specifically to treat the Chinese virus .
The reason for the media ’ s hostility to hydroxychloroquine is obvious : Trump expressed enthusiasm for the treatment , so liberals are required to take the opposite position .
It ’ s just like the Democrats ’ recent infatuation with open borders .
Until Trump , nearly every Democrat was for—or claimed to be for—border security , deporting criminal aliens and ending the anchor baby scam .
But as the Times ’ Frank Bruni @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as antonyms to Trump.
” Why else , he wondered , would Democrats push policies like open borders , “ which won ’ t go down well with many of the voters the party needs ” ?
Perhaps we could use this liberal neurosis to our advantage .
To re-open the country , we need Trump to come out against it .

Blanchett, who also served as executive producer on the project, denies any bias against Schlafly and points to the entire movie staff's refusal to speak with any of her family members as proof of its neutrality. But blocking input from those who knew the phenomenal matriarch, lawyer and author of more than 20 books conveniently allowed the Tinseltown fable-tellers to fabricate calumnious scenes out of thin air—including a fantastical depiction of Schlafly's devoted husband, Fred, forcing the female conservative icon to have sex against her will.
With the couple both deceased and family members unable to defend their marriage of 44 years, nobody and nothing stood in the way of Blanchett and Co. disseminating a cunning lie crafted to cast conservative women as abused captives with no independent agency behind closed doors.
Anne Schlafly Cori, one of Schlafly's six children and chair of the Eagle Forum, vigorously refuted Blanchett's depiction of her mother in trailers released ahead of this Wednesday's premiere. "Her acting is cold, cruel, and calculating," she told Vanity Fair. "Phyllis Schlafly was warm and gracious and her beliefs were sincere. Women idolized Phyllis Schlafly."
I can testify to this firsthand. As a young conservative writer in the early 1990s, the Phyllis Schlafly Report greatly influenced my views on education, feminism, multiculturalism and immigration. (For my first newspaper column photo at the Los Angeles Daily News, I even emulated her trademark bun.) I admired Schlafly's intellect, vigilance, style, grace, prolific output and commitment to family. In my travels as a journalist, I met legions of women inspired by Schlafly to run for school board and local and statewide offices on behalf of their families, faith and nation.
Schlafly was as down-to-earth in person as her column voice and TV debates—and contrary to a Wall Street Journal movie reviewer's attack on her "resentment" and "rage," she was the quintessential happy warrior with a twinkle in her eyes. Far from the "lone wolf" portrayal of Schlafly in "Mrs. America," Schlafly was constantly surrounded by old and new proteges and mentees. After publication of my first book, "Invasion," in 2002, I was honored to receive an "Eagle Award" from Schlafly and the Eagle Forum for "articulate leadership in bringing the truth to the American people." A plaque signed by Schlafly hangs in my home office. I am just one of thousands of conservative activists, volunteers, elected officials and media personalities who have received the honor since 1972.
The "Mrs. America" that nationalist conservatives honor was ahead of the curve on the issues that defined the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, whom she endorsed in March 2016. Long before "drain the swamp" became a MAGA meme, Schlafly had called out the "secret kingmakers" of the Republican establishment in her seminal book, "A Choice Not an Echo," [PDF] way back in 1964. Those East Coast power brokers and financiers propped up liberal GOP ciphers, she wrote, to "preserve their America Last foreign policy" and "foreign giveaways." Today, the new generation of donor-class elites work in backrooms to serve the same "Open Borders Inc." agenda—and many are embedded in the Trump White House undermining it from within while stabbing American students, workers and taxpayers in the back.
If Pat Buchanan is the godfather of "America First," Phyllis Schlafly is its godmother. For decades, she relentlessly lambasted globalism, unfair trade deals and border anarchy—earning derision from both the establishment left and right in Washington (along with the smear merchants at the Southern Poverty Law Center) as being "racist," anti-Semitic" and "bigoted." Highlighting one of the Eagle Forum's most important reports in 2014 on "How Mass (Legal) Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican Party," Schlafly called out the cheap foreign labor lobby suppressing American workers' wages.
Importing 1 million new foreigners every year whose socialist and left-leaning voting patterns are stubbornly unmalleable, on top of the 20 million illegal immigrants constantly clamoring for amnesty, is a recipe for GOP suicide and American collapse. "Outreach" is futile, Schlafly warned, without "reducing the number of immigrants allowed into the country each year. If legal immigration is not reduced, it will be nearly impossible for conservatives to be successful on the issues we care about."
As ever, Mrs. America's fierce clarity is more relevant than ever as big business, big tech, big ag and big academia oppose the will of the people for an immigration moratorium in the age of the ChiCom virus. Hollywood has done the "American First" movement an invaluable favor by bringing renewed attention to the wisdom and patriotism of Phyllis Schlafly. It's up to the rest of us to reclaim her true legacy—and fulfill it.

Women live longer than men. We know Covid-19 is killing more men than women. This book is an antidote to the myth of the ‘weaker sex’

Female superiority in colour vision, immune response, longevity, even basic survival from birth to death are illustrated in Sharon Moalem’s The Better Half.

Is there much of a Plan B for getting around NYC without the subway ?
NYC ’ s giant subway system is a hugely valuable resource most of the time , but precisely because so many people are dependent upon it that it becomes an anchor during epidemics .

jeffrey@mit.edu
April 13, 2020 Abstract. New York City’s multitentacled subway system was a major disseminator – if not the principal transmission vehicle – of coronavirus infection during the initial takeoff of the massive epidemic that became evident throughout the city during March 2020. The near shutoff of subway ridership in Manhattan – down by over 90 percent at the end of March – correlates strongly with the substantial increase in the doubling time of new cases in this borough. Maps of subway station turnstile entries, superimposed upon zip code-level maps of reported coronavirus incidence, are strongly consistent with subway-facilitated disease propagation. Local train lines appear to have a higher propensity to transmit infection than express lines. Reciprocal seeding of infection appears to be the best explanation for the emergence of a single hotspot in Midtown West in Manhattan. Bus hubs may have served as secondary transmission routes out to the periphery of the city.
Is there much of a Plan B for getting around NYC without the subway? NYC’s giant subway system is a hugely valuable resource most of the time, but precisely because so many people are dependent upon it that it becomes an anchor during epidemics.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority’s decision to cut back its train service to accommodate the reduced demand may have indeed helped to shore up the agency’s financial position, but it most likely accelerated the spread of coronavirus throughout the city. That’s because the resulting reduction in train service tended to maintain passenger density, the key factor driving viral propagation (Goldbaum and Cook 2020). How ironic it is that, from the public health perspective, the optimal policy would have been to double – maybe even triple – the frequency of train service. The agency’s decision to convert multiple express lines into local service only enhanced the risk of contagion (Goldbaum 2020). How ironic it is that the preferred policy would have been to run even more express lines. We have not seen any public data on the incremental cost of the agency’s decision to begin to disinfect subway cars twice daily. Still, it is natural to inquire why the cars weren’t disinfected every time they emptied out of passengers at both ends of the line.
A crucial question is how much good could universal masking do for the subway system?
By the way, how many examples have we had yet of criminals using face masks to get around facial recognition cameras? Do banks let you come in the door wearing a mask? When I walk in my bank, an employee almost always greets me effusively. This is has a dual benefit in cutting down bank robberies: it inclines entrants to lift their faces up where a camera can record them, and it seems to discourage bank robbers. Apparently, a lot of would-be bank robbers chicken out at the last moment, and a friendly smile can be the nudge they need to keep walking.

In response to the COVID-induced free-fall of the Australian economy, the federal government has introduced JobKeeper, a massive ($130 billion) wage subsidy program which will pay employers AU $1,500 (USD$900) per fortnight for each employee who finds themselves at risk of “economically distancing” from employment income during government-imposed virus lockdown. Over 750,000 businesses have already registered for the wage subsidy to pay to some six million workers.
A result of pressure from a united front of the Australian trade union movement and employer groups, JobKeeper pays two and a half times the dole, and is 70% of the median wage (similar to the 80% paid under Britain’s wage subsidy scheme, and Denmark’s 75%). JobKeeper has been widely welcomed for providing financial relief and job security to workers and for shoring up economic viability for vulnerable businesses.

Earlier: NATIONAL DATA: Coronavirus Kills Jobs—And Displacement! Immigrant Population FALLS For 7th Straight Month! IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM NOW!
The Chinese Virus that has knocked 23 percent out of the stock market and boosted unemployment claims by 16 million in a month still hasn’t inspired Congress or President Trump to call for an immigration moratorium. The jobless numbers have even awakened Conservatism Inc.’s Charlie Kirk—he’s called for an end to work visas, a position many Americans share. Yet however nationalist Congressional Republicans sound in denouncing China for inflicting the deadly pathogen on the world, not one has suggested closing the borders to protect American jobs and health. It amounts to a catastrophic and ominous failure of leadership.
That failure reached its peak in the virus relief package, which blocked Pentagon money for building a border wall but provided $350 million in “refugee” aid. Only one Republican, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, objected.
How bad is the virus for the economy and the unemployed? When an immigration booster like Kirk is worried, you know it’s trouble. The Turning Point USA founder, a favorite target for nationalist mockery during the “Groyper War s ,” has suddenly offered surprisingly cogent ideas. Tops among them: an immigration moratorium:.
“We need a total moratorium on ALL visas until employment levels go back to pre-pandemic levels—put our citizens first!” he tweeted on April 3.
We need a total moratorium on ALL visas until employment levels go back to pre-pandemic levels—put our citizens first! — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) April 3, 2020
He repeated the message last week.
“There’s a ruling class in this country that doesn't represent this generation and it’s indefensible,” Kirk correctly said in a video attached to that tweet.
Millions of college students went into debt to get a high paying job
This is now the toughest job market in American history
Foreign nationals should NOT get preference until our students can get jobs
Pause ALL visas until we’re back to full employment
Put US citizens FIRST! pic.twitter.com/rhSLOWVEZc — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) April 10, 2020
Even more significantly, the USA Today/Ipsos survey just found 80 percent support for tough immigration measures.
About 8 in 10 support drastic steps on immigration: imposing mandatory quarantines for people who have traveled to any other country and temporarily stopping immigration from all other countries. Seven in 10 want to ground all international flights. Almost half, by 49%-34%, want to ground all domestic flights. [Exclusive: In four devastating weeks, Americans' fears of the coronavirus have exploded, by Susan Page, USA Today, April 13].
That’s a powerful America First message. So why hasn’t any ambitious Republican tossed the idea into the Capitol’s hopper?
The answer: Timid leaders.
Of course, the idea would go nowhere in the Democrat-controlled House, but that doesn’t mean Gaetz, Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, or another ambitious immigration patriot shouldn’t propose it.
My candidate to carry the GOP’s lance and banderole is Rep. Steve King, who has been remarkably quiet since losing his committee assignments last year over a fake news smear. Although the Iowan lacks the power and political capital to advance a bill, he could at least propose it and hope a colleague tries moving it.
So why no action in the Senate?
Because the upper chamber contains not a single Jeff Sessions or Kris Kobach whose chief focus is immigration. A few senators raise the occasional battle cry against open borders, but when the fighting starts, they slip away. Even Tom Cotton, David Perdue, and Josh Hawley, three GOP reliables who reintroduced the RAISE Act that would cut legal immigration in half, don’t lead on the issue.
Granted, Hawley, Cotton, and other GOP lawmakers want to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and punish China. But that, it seems, is as far as they’re willing to go.
Widely seen as presidential timber , Hawley is eager to lead on bold legislation that attacks our dependency on China and Big Tech’s power. His plan to combat the China virus with far more government intervention in the economy and stiff penalties on China has, of course, discomfited our ruling-class elites [Josh Hawley sets up potential clash in GOP with coronavirus push, by Burgess Everett, Politico, April 6, 2020].
So why is he ignoring the virus-immigration angle?
My guess: Having mastered inviting favorable coverage in D.C.’s media fishbowl, Hawley thinks the connection will tarnish his brand. Many Main Stream Media profiles of the senator tout him as the “future of the GOP” and a challenge to the party’s free market orthodoxy [Josh Hawley’s Mission to Remake the GOP, by Emma Green, The Atlantic, November 24, 2019]. That won’t last if he links the pandemic to Open Borders in general or China in particular.
Cotton is too focused on hawkish neoconservative foreign policy to become the Senate’s premier immigration patriot. Establishmentarian Perdue is a weak sister on cheap foreign labor.
Then there’s Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who would prefer to ignore immigration altogether. He’s Business First, not America First. Taxes, the economy, and judicial appointments are his main concerns—the latter with some justification given the power of the open-borders Kritarchy that has attempted to usurp the president’s authority on immigration.
All this is why McConnell doesn’t want Kris Kobach in the Senate. He wants loyal toadies, not uncontrollable immigration patriots [GOP fears loss of Senate as Democrats handed opportunity in Kansas, by David M. Drucker, Washington Examiner, January 07, 2020].
And one more thing. McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, another ruling-class elitist, is a Chinese immigrant.
But neither the Treason Lobby’s Control of the House nor GOP weakness in the Senate means immigration patriots should give up. Several years ago, my predecessor as Washington Watcher analyzed why Republicans hadn’t taken up an immigration moratorium in response to the 2008-9 Great Recession. The primary reason: The conservative grassroots didn’t demand it, so Republicans felt no pressure to adopt it. In contrast, remember what killed the Bush-McCain-Kennedy amnesty in 2007? An uprising of Middle America.
But times have changed. The hoi polloi now have an ally with a megaphone just as loud as that of the MSM-Treason Lobby combine. Fox News talker Tucker Carlson regularly blasts open borders, as does his colleague, Laura Ingraham. Even Rush Limbaugh, the longtime and most successful propagandist for Conservatism, Inc., talks about the dangers of mass immigration.
And now immigration patriots have Charlie Kirk on their side.
But aside from a moratorium, a bold GOP lawmaker—again, a Gaetz, Gosar, or King—might propose plenty of ideas:
End legal Chinese immigration
End the admission of Chinese students to American universities
Stop China’s purchase of blue chip American companies ; and
Full funding for a border wall.
Note that, unlike Republicans, Democrats don’t hesitate to pushing their immigration agenda at every opportunity, as the WuFlu relief bill showed. Now, they’re trying to halt deportations, release illegals from detention facilities, and even send them free money [Democrats Introduce Bill Giving Coronavirus Relief To Illegal Aliens, by Jason Hopkins, The Daily Caller, April 3, 2020].
It’s time that Republicans answer in kind. And if even Charlie Kirk gets it, maybe the Congressional GOP will too.

Since the media won’t show you this and since they’re trying really hard to rewrite history in yet another attempt to hurt @realDonaldTrump I suggest you watch this, send it to your friends, and RT. pic.twitter.com/da0mVaR5fw — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 14, 2020
At 4:19 in the video above, Trump says this:
But I just want to say it's—you know, it's very sad when people write false stories like, in that case, I guess it was gotten mostly from the New York Times, which is a highly—I mean, if you had libel laws, they would have been out of business even before they'll end up going out of business. So it's too bad.
This is true. Peter Brimelow has written about why we're suing the NYT, above. Trump himself (actually his campaign, because he's busy being President) is suing the New York Times over Russia Hoax-linked libels. [LIBEL: Trump Campaign Sues New York Times Over Article Claiming an 'Overarching Deal' With Russia, by Tyler O'Neil, PJMedia, February 26, 2020]
As I've written before, what the New York Times and other MSM organizations gained in the case of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan was the right to lie, and they're clinging to it.
When Trump, one of the most comprehensively libelled public figures in American history, talked about “opening up” the libel laws during his Presidential campaign, the MSM panicked and...compared him to Hitler, Mussolini, and Richard Nixon.

Why take just a macro-look at The Great Replacement in the United States of America, when you can easily take a micro-look? Let’s start with New York City. For those wondering, here’s the racial breakdown of New York City from 1910 – 2020:
Here’s more:
It’s hard to believe that until 1980, New York City was overwhelmingly white — and it was traditionally conservative. Even during the Ellis Island period, it was a white city except for black Harlem. After the 1965 Immigration Act, the city turned multiracial and declined. Though it recovered in the 1990s and early 21st century, the white population is still declining, and the city is now a bastion of the far left.
New York started as New Amsterdam, a Dutch settlement seized by the English and renamed in 1664. The British controlled it for the entire period of the Revolutionary War; it was a loyalist stronghold. New York abstained in the critical independence vote on July 2, 1776. After the war, it was the headquarters for Andrew Hamilton and High Federalism. During the Civil War, many New Yorkers, especially working-class whites, sympathized with the Confederacy. Many blacks fled the city after the 1863 Draft Riots, and by 1865, there were fewer than 10,000 blacks left.
More than 12 million immigrants came through Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954. Almost all were white, though many were Italian, Eastern European, Jewish, or otherwise different from the Northern Europeans who founded the United States. This stopped after the 1924 Immigration Act, championed by Representative Albert Johnson. “It has become necessary that the United States cease to become an asylum,” he said. Today, the official House of Representatives website calls the bill a “legislative expression of the xenophobia, particularly towards eastern and southern European immigrants, that swept America in the decade of the 1920s.”
Of course, it wasn’t just migration from white nations that worried Americans. In 1910, central Harlem was about 10 percent black. By 1930, it was 70 percent black. By 1950, it was about 98 percent black, and Harlem was the center of American black cultural and intellectual life. It was also heavily leftist, with figures such as poet Langston Hughes and singer Paul Robeson supporting the Soviet Union and JosephStalin. In 1964, the Harlem race riot, which began after an off-duty police officer shot a black teenager, was the first major race riot of the decade.

You are obviously aware that post-1965 immigration has indeed brought repeated albeit unpublicized waves of disease to the U.S., as we have documented here.

It didn’t help my Paschal Lamb go down any easier.

Published 25 years and one month after VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow’s Alien Nation, it appears to takes a distinctly different line.
Hmm. Let’s see:
1924: the year Americans finally succeeded in defending their country’s character by ending the “Great Wave” of immigration that had been flooding the country since about 1880; and
1965: the year Americans (irrevocably?) lost control of their country’s character by ceding immigration policy to a malign combine of ethnic operativesg. Mike Masaoka and bipartisan Congressional fixers playing on sympathy-guilt about black civil rights and the recent martyrdom of President John Kennedy—which is why young Ted Kennedy was selected as pitch-man by people far smarter than he. As usual, Ted had no idea what he was selling.
Truly no surprise that Jia-Lynn thought this nation-breaking sequence of events was a fine and wonderful progress. Indeed, her triumphalist title makes clear her belief —unquestionably shared by the people who run the The New York Times—that the Great Replacement of the American people by, well, most anybody else is both inevitable and good.
But then J-L’s potted history of how American immigration policy was rigged in favor of everyone except actual Americans strays into the quicksands of Noticing. As a creature of POC privilege, she obviously has never been forced to realize that Noticing can be harmful to the over-perceptive observer.
The tale of how the nation-breaking immigration changes of 1965 were forced down Americans’ throats usually focuses on Ted Kennedy as prime mover. But, as already mentioned, Ted Kennedy was no more than a face. We’re not supposed to Notice who was pulling young Ted’s strings.
Jia-Lynn, however, does Notice.
A few quotes from her article, itself excerpted from the book:
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 had banned the immigration of Chinese laborers, and in 1924, Congress enacted a new set of ethnic quotas dreamed up by eugenicists [The idea that the 1924 Act was inspired by eugenics has been repeatedly debunked.] aimed at maintaining their conception of America as a white and Anglo-Saxon nation. By designating some races as more desirable than others, the law sharply restricted Jewish and Italian immigration — and banned nearly all Asians. In the years that followed, a small group of Jewish lawmakers fought to abolish the quotas. In 1952, when Congress embarked on its most ambitious overhaul of the country’s immigration system in decades, they recognized their best opportunity in a generation. … But defeating the overall quota system proved more difficult. With the Red Scare at its zenith, lawmakers were wary of admitting Eastern and Southern European immigrants, whom they associated with radical political activity. And so to the dismay of Jewish leaders, lawmakers refused to abandon ethnic quotas giving preference to countries like Britain. … Winning the right to naturalize [in the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952] was a watershed moment in Asian-American history. But the fight left others bitter. “It is impossible to compute the amount of harm which the Japanese American Citizens League and Masaoka caused to effective opposition to this legislation,” concluded an analysis conducted by the American Jewish Congress. It would take 13 more years of pressure from Jewish lawmakers and activists and support from the Irish Catholic Kennedy family before race-based quotas were finally abolished from the country’s immigration system.

To Jia-Lynn, this is all self-evidently good. But it’s a whole lot of Noticing, in only a few paragraphs. It will be interesting to see how the Main Stream Media receives her book. Some may conclude this is Too Much Information for the rubes in flyover country.
It’s not usually career-enhancing for a non-Jewish journalist to be so frank about such things. We’ll see how things go for Jia Lynn Yang.
Ordinarily one shouldn’t want any journalist harmed for being honestly thorough.
In Jia-Lynn’s case, though, an exception may be warranted…
