The New York Times says Joe Biden’s running mate is a “pragmatic moderate” [Kamala Harris Is Biden’s Choice for Vice President, by Alexander Burns and Katie Glueck, August 11, 2020]. Don’t believe it. Kamala Harris might be a tad “moderate” on economics, but on everything else she’s an anti-white identity-politics Cultural Marxist totalitarian. She backs Open Borders, forced busing, reparations for slavery, government-enforced censorship, and radical criminal justice “reform.” Given Biden’s visibly declining health, it’s very possible that Harris will run the White House, and the country, sooner rather than later. That should terrify the Historic American Nation. But the Harris pick should help Donald Trump—if he doesn’t blow the immigration issue and keep calling her a “tough cop.”
The daughter of immigrants, a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, Harris married well after benefitting from a decidedly unfeminist relationship with the famously flamboyant former black Speaker of California’s House, Willie Brown. Her husband is a wealthy Jewish entertainment lawyer. She is a member in good standing of the one percent [Kamala Harris and Douglas Emhoff's love story: A combined net worth of $6M and ‘Momala’ to two children, by Chaitra Krishnamurthy, Meaww.com, August 11, 2020]. She was born in California but spent her high school years in Canada, and there is a real legal question whether she is a “natural-born” citizen, depending on the exact immigration status of her parents at the time of her birth. But Leftists and Cuckservatism, Inc. love her. She shows the promise, they gush, of this “land of immigrants” [Kamala Harris’s family story is the real portrait of American greatness, by Matt Yglesias, Vox, August 13. 2020].
You know, whatever else you think of Kamala Harris, it’s pretty amazing and awesome that immigrants can come to the U.S., meet, marry, have a child, and their daughter can grow up to be DA, state attorney general, U.S. Senator, and on a presidential ticket. pic.twitter.com/cTRW8c0tyf — Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 11, 2020
That's from NRO's Jim Geraghty, who should know better.
None of them seem to get the oddity of celebrating foreigners radically transforming this country for the worse.
Harris demonstrated her Leftist immigration bona fides in her failed presidential campaign. Unlike Biden—at least in his public statements—she supports the decriminalization of illegal immigration, which would make illegal border crossings the equivalent to a speeding ticket [Criminal penalties for border crossers: Where 2020 Democrats stand—Washington Post] She wants a pathway to citizenship for all illegal aliens, and vows to legalize via Executive Order illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors (“DREAMers”). She would also block the deportation of legal foreign residents by Executive Order. Harris, her website claimed, would “protect over 6 million immigrants from deportation.” She wants to award government healthcare to all illegals. CITE And having compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to the Ku Klux Klan, she at least once has appeared to back scrapping the agency. [Flashback: Kamala Harris compared ICE to KKK in Senate hearing, by Adam Shaw, Fox News, August 12, 2020].
Harris is also the lead Democratic sponsor of the notorious Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, which would eliminate country caps on visas and allow Indians (like her mother) to dominate our immigration system. If passed, the bill would give more than 90 percent of employment-based visas to Indians through the next decade. Harris also sponsored the NO BAN Act, which would prohibit the president from limiting legal immigration through executive power.
As Numbers USA noted on her selection:
Joe Biden has made two groups very happy — Wall St. and Silicon Valley. If her voting record on immigration is any indication, Sen. Harris will aggressively advocate for the Biden-Sanders “Unity Plan” — a list of policy recommendations that would increase legal immigration while all but eliminating immigration enforcement. That's good news for Big Business and bad news for American workers and their wages. [VP Candidate Kamala Harris—Pleases Wall St. & Silicon Valley, which means Bad News for American Workers, by Chris Chmielenski, August 12, 2020].
Despite her much-touted reputation as a “top cop” who doled out heavy sentences for minor crimes, Harris fervidly backs the Marxist Black Lives Matter and wants to pass sweeping “criminal justice reforms.” In her first speech as Biden’s running mate, she called the BLM terrorists who are burning cities, looting stores, and toppling statues a “coalition of conscience.” She believes the government should root out the phantom menace of “systemic racism.” She introduced a Senate resolution in July that declares racism a “public health crisis”—the first step, of course, to suppressing speech declared “racist.” She also introduced a bill that requires “anti-racism training” as a core component of America’s coronavirus response.
White ignorance of alleged police racism, she told the New York Times in June, makes them sound like “colonist[s],” the radical Left’s favorite new anti-white slur [Kamala Harris Is Done Explaining Racism, by Lisa Lerer, June 10, 2020]. Harris supports federally mandated busing and other efforts to impose “diversity” in education [Democratic candidates’ school integration plans, explained, by Matt Yglesias, Vox, July 3, 2019].
Her criminal justice reform plan features these bright ideas:
Her race hustling and light-on-crime policies earned her the support of George Floyd attorney Benjamin Crump, the black race pimp who just happens to show up whenever a black thug gets himself killed by a cop. Crump wrote in an op-ed endorsing her for VP that
Harris has been unraveling broken systems and confronting injustice since long before most people knew her name. And as someone who spends nearly every waking hour fighting these very systems—believe me when I say we need more fierce allies in positions to drive change from the inside, [I'm ready to call our sister in the movement for justice Madam Vice President Kamala Harris, by Benjamin Crump, CNN, August 1, 2020]
Given the vengeful nature of America’s emerging Totalitarian Left, Harris would certainly marshal the federal leviathan to harass and probably even jail Trump, his supporters, and law-abiding gun owners. She has already promised to prosecute Trump after he left office [One Tough Question For DOJ If Biden Is Elected: Whether To Prosecute Trump, by Carrie Johnson, NPR, August 13, 2020].

And as with most of her plans, she would sign Executive Orders to do so.
Harris’ proposed “Red Flag law” would empower Leftist kritarchs to seize guns from designated “public threats”—meaning “white nationalists” and other dissidents who could be labeled domestic terrorists [White nationalists could have firearms taken under red flag law proposed by Kamala Harris, by Aamer Madhani, USA Today, August 14, 2019]. And note that, because many Leftists consider Trump supporters, immigration patriots and anyone else BLM hates to be “white nationalists,” this means most white Americans are potential targets.
Particularly ominous for VDARE.com and its readers: Harris really believes that Big Tech should censor more political speech. She regularly grills tech executives in Senate hearings about why they don’t censor more [Why Does Facebook Always Need a Shove to Deal With Hate Speech?, by April Glaser, Slate, September 5, 2018]. She even demanded that Twitter ban Trump [Kamala Harris asks Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to consider suspending Trump’s account, by Lauren Feiner, CNBC, October 2, 2019].
In other words, a Vice President or President Harris means you better shut up—and VDARE.com would certainly be shut up.
That’s why Biden’s creeping dementia is so terrifying a prospect, and one that should stir the lugubrious Trump campaign into action.
Conservatives have a clear message to deliver to the American people: A Biden-Harris administration would turn our nation into a Totalitarian hellhole. Conservatives couldn’t speak freely or own guns while illegal immigrants obtain citizenship and criminals rampage with impunity.

The Federalist is even selling shirts that declare “Kamala Is A Cop.” Trying to make a foolish distinction, some on the Trump campaign, such as adviser Katrina Pierson, want to claim Harris went after the wrong criminals:
[Harris] was going after the wrong people. When you’re not going after gang members, but you're going after citizens, for example, black men and marijuana — something that she herself admitted to doing. It's really a double standard she's trying to keep moving forward. [Trump campaign tiptoes around ‘Kamala is a cop,’ by Emily Larsen, Washington Examiner, August 12, 2020]

Previously: Trump’s Immigration Moratorium A Huge Win For America—Now He MUST Campaign On It
President Trump’s revamped immigration moratorium aimed to bar entry to most guest workers, but the State Department’s recently revealed exemptions undermine that mission.
It was reported this week the State Department altered Trump’s executive order to allow the agency more leeway to allow in H-1B workers and other foreigners deemed “necessary.” The Department makes a whole host of exemptions, according to its June 12 bulletin on the moratorium [State Dept. ‘Guts’ Donald Trump’s Curbs on Fortune 500’s Visa Workers, by Neil Munro, Breitbart, August 13, 2020].
The exemptions include:
Travel by technical specialists, senior level managers, and other workers whose travel is necessary to facilitate the immediate and continued economic recovery of the United States. … The petitioning employer has a continued need for the services or labor to be performed by the H-1B nonimmigrant in the United States … individuals, identified by the Department of Defense or another U.S. government agency, performing research, providing IT support/services, or engaging other similar projects essential to a U.S. government agency. … The applicant’s proposed job duties or position within the petitioning company indicate the individual will provide significant and unique contributions to an employer meeting a critical infrastructure need. Critical infrastructure sectors are chemical, communications, dams, defense industrial base, emergency services, energy, financial services, food and agriculture, government facilities, healthcare and public health, information technology, nuclear reactors, transportation, and water systems.
The State Department justified these exemptions by claiming Trump’s order allows the agency to make exceptions in the case of the “national interest.” Apparently, it’s in the national interest to allow Indians to take jobs from American workers during record levels of unemployment.
Immigration patriot lawyer John Miano told Breitbart this move “eviscerated” Trump’s executive order: “There is no doubt about it — whoever created this is thumbing their noses at President Trump.”
The State Department is full of treacherous liberals who love to undermine Trump’s America First agenda. Nearly 1000 State employees signed a protest letter against his 2017 travel ban aimed at predominately Muslim countries [Nearly 1,000 State Department staffers condemn Trump's travel ban, by Oren Dorell, USA TODAY, January 31, 2017]. State Department staff were heavily involved in Trump’s impeachment ordeal and diplomats proudly flouted the president’s authority [The revenge of the State Department, by Nahal Toosi, Politico, October 20, 2019].
If Trump wants to get his agenda enacted, he needs people who actually agree with him working for him. It’s time to clear out Foggy Bottom’s den of vipers.

I think it's lovely — thank you, Sir! I speak here as a fan of the blues from long ago. I collected all their LPs back in the day: Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Lemon Jefferson, his buddy Deaf Orange Watson, … I knew 'em all.
There is actually more to that interpretation than I just played, but I'll save the rest for my signoff music. I don't want youse all falling asleep before I've got properly started.
So … Greetings, listeners, from your ataractically genial host John Derbyshire with this week's edition of Radio Derb — some key items from the week's news delivered with a Dissident Right spin. Off we go!

02 — Kamala Harris: controversies. Headliner of the week was the decision by Joe Biden, or whoever programs the very lifelike Joe Biden hologram, to pick California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, and so as the U.S.A.'s possible next Vice President — and thence, by logic we are all familiar with by now, likely President.
Controversy erupted immediately. The most acutely controversial issues were: (1) How black is she? and (2) How do you pronounce her Christian name? The nation was convulsed.
To the first issue there, Senator Harris is one of those exotic nonwhites that white American progressives swoon over — a female Barack Obama. Her dad is a white-black mix — a quadroon, would be my guess — from Jamaica. Like Obama's dad, he didn't stick around very long. He's a retired academic, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Stanford. Senator Harris's mother, who passed away in 2009, was a Tamil-speaking Hindu from Madras, a high-level medical researcher.
So … an octoroon, half South Indian, from a family of academics. Not as black as Obama, but black enough to trade on it: black enough to tell, with a straight face, unconfirmable stories about indignities she suffered as a child back in the Jim Crow days around 1970, black enough to get into law school via affirmative action, black enough to sneer at me for my white privilege I'm sure, and plainly black enough to tick the "black-enough" box on Joe Biden's list of V.P. hopefuls.
Is it impertinent of me to wonder how black she seems to a black American descended from eight enslaved black great-grandparents? I think it probably is.
Our own correspondent Lance Welton has much more to say about Senator Harris's blackness in an article that just came up on VDARE.com. He thinks the senator is a quadroon, not an octoroon, and so blacker than I've been estimating here. If it weren't for that Indian mother Lance and I could compromise and call her a high yaller.
To the second issue, the proper pronunciation of her forename, Wikipedia gives /'kɑːmələ/. Eh, OK; but I think that to the eye of a native English-speaker, /kəm'ɑːlə/ comes more naturally, and I'll guess with strong confidence that the lady has been hearing it said that way all her life, just as I've been hearing my surname mispronounced all the years I've been in the U.S.A.
Which I am fine with. I couldn't care less whether people call me "DAH-bi-shuh" or "DER-bi-shire," so long as they call me [drum-cymbals sound]. My guess is that Senator Harris is of the same kidney. People who make a fuss about the precisely proper pronunciations of their names are high up on everyone's list of insufferable pains in the bottom. If you have an ambiguously-pronouncable name, and any social awareness at all, you know that.
I'm saying "Kamala" the Wikipedia way just because I looked it up for this podcast, that's what it said, and I'd think I was being childish if I deliberately mispronounced it.
Why did I take the trouble to look it up? Because it's become an issue. Tucker Carlson pronounced it the natural way, /kəm'ɑːlə/, on his show the other night, causing Social Justice Warriors nationwide to sputter and shriek and denounce Tucker as a hate-filled racist misogynist filled with hate hate hate.
Curious to see if I have mispronounced it that same way in the past, I scanned the Radio Derb archives. Sure enough, here I was on April 17th this year, at 3m22s into that week's podcast.
[Pips.]
[Clip: Biden has already promised to put a Gyno-American on the ticket. If he believed he was coming up short on blackety-blackness, he'd feel pressured to pick some crazy white-hating Negress like Stacey Abrams or a mulatto-exotic Obama clone like Kamala Harris.]
[Pips.]
That pronunciation, I repeat, is the one that comes naturally to the eye of a native English-speaker who has better things to do than delve into the minutiae of Tamil phonetics.
This may be especially the case for those of us who did The Aeneid in school, or who follow the affairs of Britain's Royal Family. Virgil's great epic has a character named Camilla and Prince Charles married one. Camilla, Kamala, hey.

03 — Kamala Harris: some grudging respect. Those two nation-roiling issues aside, what's to be said about Senator Harris as a Vice-Presidential candidate and possible President?
Well, the lady promotes herself, and speaks and writes, as a left-liberal. That rules her out as a person who'd get my vote for any political office at all. Sorry, Senator.
On immigration she is simply terrible: amnesty, sanctuary cities, free healthcare for illegals, open borders, ICE is no better than the Ku Klux Klan, the whole package. She is of course an eager shill for the tech oligarchs and other cheap-labor lobbies. To make the indictment here as damning as I know how to make it: On immigration issues, Kamala Harris is even worse than the Republican Party.
That said, I find it hard to dislike Senator Harris at a personal level, and will even confess to some grudging respect. She's smart, capable, and energetic — a skilled political athlete and definitely a cut above most of the other names Joe's been pondering.
The political case against her, in fact, from a National Conservative point of view, is that, while any occupant of the White House from today's Democratic Party will be a Left authoritarian, Kamala Harris would be a more-than-averagely effective and energetic Left authoritarian.
Wait, though. If, as I just said, Harris is a skilled political athlete, why did she fall flat on her face in last years' Democratic primaries? She was running strong for a while at first; then poll numbers and donations fell off a cliff. Why?
There's not much disagreement about the answer. Back when Harris was a DA and state Attorney General she was a tad too enthusiastic about prosecuting criminals. Once that came out, the DNC suits and primary voters dropped her.
Punishing lawbreakers goes entirely against the ethos of today's Democratic Party, whose banner reads: Open Borders, Open Jails!
(Although, in the matter of jails, Democrats don't want them totally open. Jails are just the right place for white supremacists and other enemies of the people — the Charlottesville Six, for example, or the Proud Boys. They are just not the right place for drug dealers, street hoodlums, muggers, rapists, robbers, looters, and gang-bangers. Those people shouldn't be in jail. They're just trying to put food on their families.)
Kamala Harris, to judge by her record as a prosecutor, disagreed. She favored locking criminals up: real criminals, who rob and wound, not patriots who make a stand against communist street thugs financed by foreign troublemakers. If locking up criminals is really what she favored, that is not something that bothers me at all.
Now of course she is singing a different tune. She learned to sing it with remarkable speed and tunefulness. This suggests that she is not much of an ideologue.
So is she merely a ruthless cynic, saying stuff she doesn't believe just to advance herself? I don't think so. Here you get down into the weeds of what politicians think, what they're willing to say, how much they are willing to bend to the political winds.
I bet Kamala Harris does believe that the poor average social outcomes for blacks are caused by white racism, that women earn less than men for the same work, that the Second Amendment is a deplorable 18th-century relic, and so on down the social justice catechism.
These things she believes at some level because everyone she knows, and has ever known, believes them, and she doesn't have the critical, curious, open kind of mind that goes against her peer group in matters of belief. She believes them and you won't change her mind on them. However, the degree of severity to apply when punishing lawbreakers? Eh, that's trade-able.
Her beliefs are not deep, strong, driving convictions. There is nothing of the dissident or martyr about her. Saint Felicity she ain't. There is a lot of psychological territory between cold, ruthless cynicism and intense, passionate belief.
In a free and democratic society, politics must always be to some degree transactional: a matter of open argument, persuasion, negotiation, and compromise. With a true believer in charge — a Lenin or a Mao — freedom and democracy are not possible. Politics is then a matter of identifying opponents and killing them, for the greater good. Can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, you know.
We don't, thank goodness, live in a country where true believers like that can work their wills. Kamala Harris's instincts are Left-authoritarian, no doubt. The politics she has to practice, however, is transactional. She is not a Lenin, not a Mao; and as leftist politicians go, not being a Lenin, not being a Mao, is as good as you can hope for. I could never vote for Kamala Harris for any position; but there are worse critters out there in the jungle.
In the situation Senator Harris is in now, where mouthing today's social-justice platitudes might lift her to the nation's highest political office, she will mouth them with a full, and not entirely false, appearance of perfect conviction. Just watch …

04 — United States of Antifa. Having mentioned Charlottesville back there, it is only proper to note that this week marks the third anniversary of the ambushing of the Unite the Right rally in that city.
The organizers of that rally — a lawful, peaceful demonstration for which the organizers had obtained a permit — were attacked by the anarchist mob, who had no intention of being lawful or peaceful and no permit. The city police, under political direction, abdicated their duty to keep order, and mayhem ensued.
Our website here, VDARE.com, has run some illuminating articles by Unite the Right participants and organizers. It's clear from those accounts that, in the eloquent words of that participant, August 12th 2017 was, quote:
… a dress rehearsal for the anarcho-tyrannical nation-wide insurrection now taking place: Antifa violence; official complicity; police paralysis (unless arresting anyone trying to resist); all protected by tightly controlled Narrative of Legacy Media lies … It looks like Charlottesville 2017 was the beginning of a successful Communist coup against America.
End quote.
The events of 2020 have made the accuracy of this analysis all too clear. Quite large parts of the U.S.A. are effectively under the control of Antifa today. I'm not just talking about the streets of our big old cities, where Antifa rule is plain to see. The takeover has been institutional. The judiciary, the academy, the media and the social media, the big corporations — all are dancing to the Antifa tune.
The coronavirus pandemic has made things easier for the insurrectionists, at least on the judicial front. "We can't have proper court proceedings with social distancing!" squeal the DAs and prosecutors, as they trouser the big fat envelopes full of cash from George Soros. "Case dismissed!"
And then: "Jails are breeding grounds for the virus," they tell us. "Gotta let prisoners go free!"
Of course, if you have the impertinence to stand and fight when Antifa come round to break your windows, you'll be cuffed, tried, convicted, sentenced, and jailed before you can say "due process."
But wait: Don't we have a National Conservative in the White House? Doesn't he have authority over the Justice Department, to right some of these injustices? Doesn't he have a Secretary of Education to address the totalitarian CultMarx dominance in our universities? A Commerce Secretary to rein in the power of the tech monopolies?
If the Tsar only knew!

05 — Convergence to totalitarianism lite. Looking back over my own commentaries of three years ago, my eye was caught by a segment in my December 22nd podcast of that year. In that segment I mulled over the theories of convergence that had some currency in the early 1960s — convergence, that is, between American capitalism, as then was, and Soviet communism, as then was.
Sample quote:
The rough idea was that the USSR would allow more and more private-sector activity while government power in the West would expand, leading eventually to a situation is which the two systems were indistinguishable. They'd have converged to a common political-economic mean.
End quote.
Those ideas weren't new in the early 1960s, of course. James Burnham had aired them twenty years before in his book The Managerial Revolution, which so fascinated George Orwell.
What set me pondering these things was this week's news items about the ChiCom crackdown on Hong Kong, particularly the arrest of newspaper publisher and democracy advocate Jimmy Lai on Monday.
This was of course a deplorable business, cops taking Mr Lai away in handcuffs and looting his offices. Several other people were likewise arrested, including one of Jimmy Lai's sons, who has no connection with the newspaper business.
After forty hours in custody, though, Jimmy Lai was released on $65,000 bail. He's at home now, and has been giving interviews to the media.
I was struck by the lightness of touch there. In Mao Tse-tung's China Jimmy Lai would just have disappeared — been given twenty-five years in a camp, or just shot out of hand.
There are of course some restraining circumstances to be noted. Hong Kong is still a key hub for China's business with the rest of the world. To keep up appearances, the ChiComs don't want to thoroughly mainlandize the place, to go full totalitarian on it all at once. They want to keep up a decent facade of legality while shutting down dissent one voice at a time. Jimmy Lai could never have published his newspaper in the mainland, and mainland dissidents are treated way more harshly than he has been.
Also acting as a restraint on the natural brutishness of ChiCom rule has been their preoccupation with other problems: the coronavirus pandemic; the loss of international face arising therefrom, with consequent trade issues; the severe floods that have been afflicting their country; possibly some insecurities at the top, with Xi Jinping trying to stay on his feet against rivals in the apparatus.
All things considered, though, today's China is not your father's totalitarianism. Visiting China last year, I found the table-talk among ordinary citizens way more open and relaxed than it was in the early 1980s.
That's where the theory of convergence came back to me. China is heading into totalitarianism lite from one side; perhaps we're heading to the same destination from the other side.
The ChiComs have eased up on the pettier kinds of social control while continuing to punish open dissent, and also while quietly setting up a panopticon of data on what citizens are saying, doing, earning, and buying.
Meanwhile we are firming up on those lesser social controls — on what may be said and done in private exchanges, for example between bird-watchers and dog-walkers — while tightening the screws on open dissent. We're not as far along the road to a panopticon yet, but the trend is in that direction. Not much happens in public nowadays that isn't recorded by security cameras or someone's smartphone.
And there are some features of the modern world that work against hard totalitarianism. A few days ago there came out those video clips of Chinese Uighurs handcuffed and blindfolded, being herded into cattle wagons. Apparently they were leaked by someone with access to the drone footage. I watched them with a friend. He observed that if we'd had that kind of footage of Stalin's slave-labor camps eighty years ago, it would have been harder for Soviet sympathizers to deny the reality of communism.
The coronavirus pandemic has also been a setback for the panopticon project, which relies heavily on facial recognition software. What I hear from people working in this field is that — amazingly, it seems to me — facial recognition can work with people wearing masks … but only in small populations. So if you have, say, a company workforce of five thousand people, all wearing masks, the software can tell you which employee you're looking at. With populations bigger than a few thousand, though, a given image of one masked individual can return multiple matches.
Possibly technology will conquer these issues and all others that limit state power, pulling us back to Nineteen Eighty-Four-style "hard" totalitarianism. I think a convergence to "soft" totalitarianism — totalitarianism lite — is more probable, though.
It used to be a standard classroom exercise for high-school seniors to read both Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Huxley's Brave New World, then write an essay on which was the more probable future.
The way things are now trending, both in China and the U.S.A., we shall end up with something of both dystopias: the nihilistic all-wants-supplied hedonism of Huxley's joined to Orwell's managerial panopticon. We could do worse, I guess; but I shall mourn the loss of our old liberties.

06 — Miscellany. And now, our closing miscellany of brief items.
Imprimis: My Word of the Week: "wokefishing." This one I really like.
Here's what it means, according to British journalist Guy Birchall at RT.com, July 29th, quote:
Wokefishing is the act of pretending to have ultra right-on opinions in an effort to get social justice warriors into bed.
End quote.
There is apparently a serious demographic imbalance haunting the dating scene. Far more young women than young men are woke. The solution, for a lot of enterprising young men, is to pretend to be woke in order to lure social justice warriorettes into a sexual relationship. That's "wokefishing."
I enquired of a single twentysomething male I know whether he'd heard this term, "wokefishing." He hadn't, so I explained it. He: "Why would anyone want to have a chick like that around?"
He has a point, one illustrated by my next item.
[Permalink]
Item: If "wokefishing" is my Word of the Week, here is my quite-closely-related Phrase of the Week: "Mad Sow Disease."
This phrase was coined, so far as I know, by Chris Roberts over at American Renaissance. Chris, last Sunday, was chewing over a topic I have taken a bite at myself once or twice: What's the matter with white women?
Chris didn't actually chew much; he just posted thirty or so pictures of women demonstrating on behalf of Black Lives Matter. Then he posted a link to that on Twitter under the heading "Mad Sow Disease." Then, in a later tweet that same day, Chris observed that, tweet:
This appears to now be the most commented on post in the history of AmRen.
End tweet.
I'm not surprised. There's nothing like a clever turn of phrase to get people's attention.
I must say, though, with all proper respect to Chris, who is doing God's work over there at AmRen, I must say that the women in those thirty-odd pictures at the AmRen post are, for the most part, not unattractive. Their figures are trim and their features, so far as you can tell with all the masks, pleasant and regular.
It's true that the more porcine demographic has certainly been on display at recent protests. On Chris's evidence, though — and again, absolutely no offense, bro — there are also many, many worthy opportunities for wokefishing.

Item: Continuing this rather regrettable theme for just one more item, allow me to comment on the recent ructions in Belarus.
Belarus, yes. Do you know anything about Belarus, listener? Me neither. Seeking enlightenment, I brought up the BBC News website headlined Belarus: Five things you may not know about the country.
"Belarus was the hardest hit country proportionately during World War Two." That I kind of did know. When Hitler's army has marched across your territory, then been chased out by Stalin's, there won't be many daisies left un-trampled.
"The president is Europe's longest serving ruler." That's Lukashenko, who just won an election on an obviously rigged vote. The DNC has people over there hoping to pick up tips.
"Lee Harvey Oswald lived in Minsk." Yeah, I remember that now. I read the KGB transcripts from the bugs in his apartment. His wife complained a lot about his farting.
"About 70 percent of the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl landed in Belarus." The Wehrmacht, the Red Army, Chernobyl … Note to self: Stay well out of Belarus.
"Victoria Azarenka is the country's most successful tennis player." Why is that worth knowing? Doesn't every country — Laos, Chad, Albania — have a most successful tennis player? Scraping the barrel there, guys.
OK; thanks to the Beeb, we are now all wiser.
To the main point, though: I've been watching video clips of the women's protests in Belarus. Far as I can see, there are no sows at all. The women are all slender and healthy-looking, most of them pretty.
What happened to the classic Slavic babushka, the one with the rectangular figure and the hairy wart on her nose?
Perhaps I'll take a trip to Belarus after all.
[Permalink]
Item: Talk about scraping the barrel: The passion of Social Justice Warriors for denouncing historical figures has been running so strong in recent months, there is no-one of any significance left to denounce.
That, at any rate, is my reading of the controversy that's been raging up in Buffalo, New York. The University up there has decided to expunge from its facilities the name of … Millard Filmore.
Ol' Millard is generally agreed to be the least significant of all American Presidents. Only the most ardent of history buffs can tell you anything at all about him. The Buffalo Gals are going to take him down none the less.
Surely that exhausts the U.S. Presidents as targets for the woke mob. Now they'll have to start in on Vice Presidents. Elbridge Gerry, Hannibal Hamlin, Garret Hobart, watch out!
[Permalink]
Item: All great men have to endure the mockery of lesser mortals, and Radio Derb's dear friend President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov of Turkmenistan is no exception.
A very egregious example of such mockery was posted at UnHerd.com on August 13th. The article was by Daniel Kalder, author of the recnt book Dictator Literature: A History of Despots Through Their Writing.
The article's title, which I blush to say out loud: Is this the worlds worst dictator? Subtitle: "Turkmen citizens are condemned to live in a repressive police state run by an unsophisticated dullard."
Yes, President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov's enemies are legion, and they will stop at nothing to belittle and insult him.
Down with these vile slanderers! We know where you live, Daniel Kalder.
[Clip: Turkmen national anthem.]
[Permalink]
Item: A couple of items from the world of EdBiz — which, as readers of my narrative-sundering bestseller We Are Doomed will recall, is, quote from self, "a vast sea of lies, waste, corruption, crackpot theorizing, and careerist logrolling."
First item: Laurie Rubel, who is Professor of Math Education at Brooklyn College, tweeted on August 3rd that, tweet:
The idea that math is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH.
End tweet.
Professor Rubel went on to tell us that saying math is neutral because two plus two equals four, quote, "reeks of white supremacist patriarchy," end quote.
I tried to follow the ensuing Twitter debate, but the sheer silliness of it soon repelled me. I kept thinking of the late Martin Gardner's famous question: When two dinosaurs wandered to the water hole back in the Jurassic Period and met another pair of dinosaurs happily sloshing, were there then four dinosaurs at the water hole?
What, in Professor Rubel's opinion, is the correct answer? Or is the notion of "correct answer" just another hateful legacy of the white supremacist patriarchy?
[Permalink]
Item: Second EdBiz item. An Illinois State Representative, name of LaShawn K. Ford, issued a news release on August 2nd with the compelling title: "Rep. Ford Today in Evanston to Call for the Abolishment of History Classes in Illinois Schools."
That's the title of the news release. It's actually somewhat misleading, although presumably Rep. Ford approved it. He doesn't want a permanent end to the teaching of history in Illinois schools, only a suspension of all teaching until a more woke curriculum can be authorized and implemented.
Perhaps — who knows? — a curriculum that introduces students to the word "abolition."
Current history teachings, said the legislator at a news conference, lead to a racist society and overlook the contributions of women and minorities.
I guess I'm OK with Rep. Ford's suggested reforms, just so long as they don't drop Millard Filmore altogether.

For those in search of a reason for optimism regarding Trump’s chances in November, here’s one:
As the nation has grappled with a global pandemic and images of some rioters causing damage after hijacking peaceful protests demanding racial justice, more and more Americans appear to be arming themselves. In July 2020, the FBI conducted more than 3.6 million firearm background checks, making it the third highest month on record for checks since the bureau began keeping statistics in 1998, according to new data released on Monday by the agency. By comparison, the bureau conducted just over 2 million checks in July 2019. Background checks associated with the sale, transfer or permitting of firearms set an all-time record in June when the FBI conducted more than 3.9 million checks, followed by March 2020 when the agency saw 3.7 million checks.

That’s written in a clunky way. To smooth it out, note that June 2020, March 2020, and July 2020 were respectively probably the highest, second-highest, and third-highest months for gun sales in the country’s history. And there’s an aspect to this sustained surge in sales that is different than is usually the case:

From a Department of Justice press release:
As a condition of receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, Yale expressly agrees to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a cornerstone civil-rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance.
The Department of Justice found Yale discriminates based on race and national origin in its undergraduate admissions process, and that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year. For the great majority of applicants, Asian Americans and whites have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials. Yale rejects scores of Asian American and white applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit.
Although the Supreme Court has held that colleges receiving federal funds may consider applicants’ race in certain limited circumstances as one of a number of factors, the Department of Justice found Yale’s use of race is anything but limited. Yale uses race at multiple steps of its admissions process resulting in a multiplied effect of race on an applicant’s likelihood of admission, and Yale racially balances its classes.
The Department of Justice has demanded Yale agree not to use race or national origin in its upcoming 2020-2021 undergraduate admissions cycle, and, if Yale proposes to consider race or national origin in future admissions cycles, it must first submit to the Department of Justice a plan demonstrating its proposal is narrowly tailored as required by law, including by identifying a date for the end of race discrimination.

A Twitter Event covering the recent attack on the Proud Boys march contains this text:
White nationalists and counter-protesters clash violently in Kalamazoo
Counter-protesters showed up to the site of an organized white nationalist rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday. When the white nationalist group arrived, violence broke out. Police responded to the violence, made arrests and cleared the crowd.
A "Rally" is a public meeting to hold speeches, and a "march" is, in this case, a number of people carrying flags. What antifa "counterprotesters" do is show up at a peaceful march like that and beat people up. See Charlottesville, Trump rallies in 2016, and the Greensboro "Massacre" of 1975.

Back in 2002 , I wrote an article entitled “ Should You Redshirt Your Child ?

I haven ’ t found any confirmation for Biden skipping third grade , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his Wikipedia biography : Biden attended the Archmere Academy in Claymont , where he was a standout halfback and wide receiver on the high school football team ; he helped lead a perennially losing team to an undefeated season in his senior year .

He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with a double major in history and political science and a minor in English .
He played halfback for the Blue Hens freshman football team .

He played varsity football as a defensive back .
So , having been born in November 1942 , if Joe graduated from high school in June 1961 , he would have been about 18 years and 7 months old .
In contrast , I was born in December 1958 and graduated from high school in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 17 years and 6 months .
On the other hand , there was some controversy back in the summer of 1964 about whether I was too young to enter .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the redshirting phenomenon has been studied by academics over the last 18 years since I last wrote about it in depth .

From Politico:
Biden’s own academic career was unimpressive—he repeated the third grade, earned all Cs and Ds in his first three semesters at the University of Delaware except for As in P.E., a B in “Great English Writers” and an F in ROTC, and graduated 76th in his Syracuse Law School class of 85 students.
Back in 2002, I wrote an article entitled “Should You Redshirt Your Child?” giving the pros and cons of holding your kid back for a year before or during school so that he or she will be older than most classmates.
The term “redshirt” comes from college sports, where it’s frequent for athletes to sit out a year so that they’ll be older, bigger and more mature when they do play. More and more parents, and even states, are now doing something similar with their little ones, for roughly the same reasons.
After I wrote this article, I received some anguished emails from parents asking for advice on whether or not to hold their sons back for year, but I had to confess that I really didn’t know.
I haven’t found any confirmation for Biden skipping third grade, but that is not out of line with his Wikipedia biography:
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was born on November 20, 1942 … Biden attended the Archmere Academy in Claymont, where he was a standout halfback and wide receiver on the high school football team; he helped lead a perennially losing team to an undefeated season in his senior year. He played on the baseball team as well. Academically, he was a poor student but was considered a natural leader among the students and elected class president during his junior and senior years.

Perhaps due to his stutter, his parents eventually decided that is entering first grade before age 6 had been a mistake and it would be best to have him repeat third grade.
At age 77, Joe is the Democratic Party’s nominee for President of the United States, so it appears that his parents’ decision 70 years ago turned out for the best in Joe’s case.

He did not expect to get in, because he knew he had tough competition as a student at a public high school in the affluent Washington suburb of McLean, Va., where most students were either white or, like him, Asian-American, and many apply to the Ivy League. But he was admitted.
Now he sees the Trump administration’s accusation that Yale discriminated against Asian-American and white applicants, leveled against the university by the Justice Department’s civil rights division on Thursday, as unfathomable and divisive.

31 JULY 2020
Years of slow improvement in diversity and inclusion in science could come undone because of the COVID-19 crisis. In a June letter to Nature Ecology and Evolution, 19 researchers from around the world warned that job losses during the pandemic might pose “disproportionate existential threats” to researchers from under-represented groups, including women, people from minority ethnic backgrounds and those who are financially disadvantaged.
Co-author Raísa Vieira, an ecologist at the Federal University of Goiás in Goiânia, Brazil, says that the pandemic and related political upheavals are already eroding hard-won diversity gains in her home country. “It’s really sad to see what’s happening here,” she says. “It’s like we’re going back 30 years.” As the scientific director of Brazil’s National Association of Graduate Students, she is especially concerned about junior scientists at home and elsewhere. Although the pandemic affects everyone, she and others fear that the pain won’t be evenly distributed. She says it will take a concerted effort by institutions, funders and scientific journals to help ensure that people from under-represented groups can remain in science during the pandemic and beyond.
The pandemic threatens to make UK universities less diverse, says Christopher Jackson, a geologist at Imperial College London. As one of a very few Black Earth-science faculty members in the entire Northern Hemisphere, he’s familiar with the plight of under-represented researchers. He worries that as institutions try to cope with the virus and its consequences, diversity in hiring and promotion will become a low priority. “They’ll say this isn’t the time for progressive measures,” he predicts. “They won’t have the appetite for it. Certain racial and ethnic groups will be the hardest hit.” …
Minority-ethnic scientists in the United States are also having trouble hanging on, says Iris Wagstaff, a director-at-large of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers, based in Annapolis, Maryland. There are no firm statistics on the financial impacts for different communities, Wagstaff says, but she is very concerned about what she’s hearing from her organization’s members. “Across the board, our students, postdocs and early-career researchers of colour who study science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) are losing funding, and their job searches are interrupted,” she says.
