Every four years the media tells us that this is the most important election in our lifetimes, maybe in the history of the world. It is always nonsense, of course, but even if it does turn out to be important, few people realize it. Hardly anyone realized that the 1992 election, for example, would be an inflection point. The Cold War was over, and it felt like politics was not all the important.
This time may be different. Trump is a unique figure and has come to define the first quarter of the 21st century. To understand him and his time on the stage, you must start with the election of the execrable George Bush and then follow the chain of events that flowed from that moment. Trump was the delayed response to the hollowing out of conservatism and the Republican Party by the neoconservatives.
What the Trump era has come to be about is who is going to run the country, Americans or a collection of alien weirdos? For their part, the alien weirdos have made it clear since Trump came down that escalator that they would rather blow up the world than allow normal Americans to rule themselves again. The election next Tuesday is the last battle in the fight between Trump and the alien weirdos.
By all accounts now, Trump is favored to win. If the riggers steal another election, then any hope you have for a soft landing is gone. The country plunges into the darkness and whatever comes out decades from now will bear little resemblance to what everyone understands to be America. This may happen even if Trump wins, but there is at least the hope that not all the lights go out.
That is the show this week. This is, at the minimum, a very important election, but also the last election for a uniquely American figure. No other country could produce a politician like Donald Trump. Even by American standards, he is a singular figure, a force of nature who has changed everything during his time in the arena. Enjoy the last few days of his last election. You will never see this again.

1992 sure felt like an inflection point for me. I can still remember the disbelief I felt watching the Clintons and Gores dancing to Fleetwood Mac like high school kids. I was only 27 but even at that age it seemed so déclassé and puerile to me. I grew up during the Cold War. Say what you will about George H.W. Bush as a CIA man and an Establishment man, but he was paternalistic and sober and a genuine military hero. The Clintons seemed like such trash by comparison. I remember Clinton sniggering at Ross Perot when he said NAFTA… Read more »
And what I hated (I was very young, but musically precocious) was the sully forever put on Fleetwood Mac when Bill and Hillary danced to “Don’t Stop.” I never liked that song anyways, but, to this day, if that song comes on, I have to turn it immediately, for I can still see them dancing to it, and, again, I was about 6.
Saw Stevie Nicks talking about her abortion saving Fleetwood Mac. As if a human sacrifice was worth the denouement of their career.
There have long been rumors–as it were–that she is a witch. If so, she certainly wouldn’t be the least bit troubled by killing her own kid.
She would tell you it was an act of female empowerment. And she has openly bragged about being a witch, a self-identified enemy of God and life. A large and growing sisterhood.
She also has a pedo in her band – Waddy Waddel or something like that
Nicks must be a fine human being. The very finest kind.
There are millions of women headed to the polls who would eagerly sacrifice all their unborn kids to get what Stevie has had. Perhaps in some cases, some of their already born ones also.
“Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
Mt 4:8-9
Whats she got beside a deviated septem ?
What will she leave behind ?
Some music, true enough.
Sometime when its quiet & shes alone does the child that might have been come to her in dreams ?
Nicks’ new single is all about her abortion. IOW about me me me. Like the others, she’s enraged that she got old, and she can hardly wait to eradicate the new life trying to emerge. Is this not open evil?
We imagine ourselves advanced and civilized, but Moloch in Saturn’s mask still stalks your children in broad daylight. Snuffing babies is the First and Most Important ‘right’ of the American female, the core of Leftist political principles.
Her song, “Sarah,” is about her murdered child.
Interesting. To the “true believer” an unborn child is not a “person” to be considered an individual with rights. In short an entity not granted “personhood” under civil or moral law. Why would one mourn a “non-person”—a meaningless clump of cells, much less name it? The feminine mind seems unfathomable.
The salient point with 22 year old me was that, ostensibly, these people looked at the 80s and thought it was bad. I couldn’t comprehend. I didn’t, and still don’t recognize that they were dissatisfied with the prevailing state of affairs. More like power hungry people who were celebrating because they had finally seized the power.
That may have been the case with Slick. However, I fancy the Hilldebeeste has always been a true-believing New Leftist.
The 80s were very bad for a lot of Americans. The steel industry collapsed. The auto industry wasn’t doing well. The electronics industry collapsed over the course of the 70s and 80s. While there was some booming industry in the US in the 80s, the 80s was largely the beginning of the total collapse of US industry. I was a kid/teen in the 80s, so for me it was all good times. But I knew of a lot of people (parents of friends) whose company closed in that era and they lost their jobs after 20 years working for the… Read more »
The whole texture of the US economy changed. From high-value added manufacturing, with relatively well-paid jobs and job security, to low-valued (or no-valued) added service sector jobs, with poor pay and no security. But the clouds had begun to gather by the late ’60s, with the resurgence of Japan and Europe. And because of the Cold War the US elite felt compelled to allow this.
There were a lot of forces at work there. One of the largest is also one of the least recognized — Americans were tired of pollution, and wanted their blue skies back. They wanted their kids to be able to swim in streams and ponds. No more reek of factory stacks and automobile tailpipes. Or smog burning their eyes. The ’70s, particularly Nixon, was huge on the environment, and, whether or not you agreed with the policy, America today is vastly cleaner.
But that’s what pushed the drive to off-shore. Not the wage differential.
If not for Reagan’s love of “free trade” this wouldn’t have happened. When you have all these regulations driving up the cost of manufacturing, you cannot also embrace free trade.
Free trade was already killing America when Reagan took office, but he really institutionalized and popularized it. Free trade is suicide.
Nah. Free trade didn’t kill China or Indonesia or Mexico or Malaysia or Bangladesh or Indonesia. Those who took developmental loans later had to obey World Bank or IMF rules and cave on environmental regs, so had to drop out of the competitive market for off-shoring.
There’s a reason China and India are among the last ones standing. And it’s not free trade.
Check out Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, for example.
Not only do these countries have protectionism and not free trade, they have currencies, regulations and costs of living that give them a distinct advantage over first world countries.
Furthermore, it’s not even trade. It’s “American” companies that are doing the manufacturing in the foreign lands. It’s not Ching-chong’s appliance company selling their cheap crap here, it’s “American” companies importing their foreign made stuff with an American name brand slapped on the front of it.
You’re right about pollution abatement but I’m surpised you don’t think it was about wages. The wage scale in most foreign lands was (and remains) a small fraction of what workers must be paid in the US — if, that is, anyone is hiring.
Wages had a LOT to do with it. Don’t kid yourself. The wealthiest top 20% in this country are all invested in companies that outsource labor for a fraction of the cost of American wages. The profits — and the stock bubble — are stupendous: “GM builds the highly profitable Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty full-size pickups at Silao. In the current plant contract, it said the wages range from about… $8.97 to $33.05 per day. In contrast, GM builds… its heavy-duty pickups at Flint Assembly and Oshawa. At those plants, wages range from $18 to $32 an hour.” New union… Read more »
Give a guy a $2 an hour raise. $80 a week. $4K a year. Big flippin’ deal. Do you have the faintest idea how much gets sucked out by regulatory and insurance?
A low-volume solvent scrubber can easily run over a half mil plus install. Capital cost alone of 125 man-years of a $2 an hour raise. Interest cost of twice that. And we haven’t paid the operating expenses yet.
That’s where you save. By manufacturing smewhere that doesn’t require the scrubber.
My Ford Mach-c EV has 51% parts foreign made (China). Every car by law has a sticker somewhere telling you how much in made—value wise—outside the country. Now for an EV, I suspect the big cost is the battery and that’s made in China as seem most EV bat’s outside of Tesla. But even before EV’s, I bought a Pontiac with 80% parts from Canada.
I voted for Perot because Bush was such a backstabbing weasel. Old Ross was right about a lot of things. The day of reckoning for the deficit seems to be approaching.
perot was my first mass democracy vote; I still get shit from my parents who say I helped get bubba elected
Bush got Clinton elected.
Perhaps, but the breakdown of popular vote is as follows:
“ • Bill Clinton (Democrat): 43.0%
• George H. W. Bush (Republican, incumbent): 37.5%
• Ross Perot (Independent): 18.9%
• Other candidates: approximately 0.6% “
One would need to look at the State totals and assume that Perot votes go to Bush in some large percentage, but 19% rake off from Perot is not to be ignored.
The baseline, terminally online Trump assumption is:
“They’re going to cheat, so we have to vote big-ly”. Presumably by adding extra votes as necessary.
No. If it’s necessary, they’ll just subtract from the Trump column.
Who’s going to stop them?
No matter what you think about 2020, it conclusively proved that US Presidential elections are non-auditable.
Subtracting from Trump is not as easy as adding for Harris. You’d need to know the particular ballot for Trump and remove it. For Harris, you just drop in some phony mail-in ballots printed as you need it. Oddly enough, that assumes fairly accurate and true machine counting, which seems to be the norm. It’s those mail-ins that we overlooked while looking down the rabbit hole of machine tabulation. Note here in AZ, we actually randomly hand count/audit ballots after machine count. The percentages have to come in close to the machine tabulated counts before certification of results. But of… Read more »
Looking forward to the show. What the Trump era has come to be about is who is going to run the country, Americans or a collection of alien weirdos? problem is the at even Reagan said that Americans are nobodies. Meaning, they have no past, they can come from “every corner of the world “. And this isn’t just some accidental thing that has happened cause of weather or employment. It’s how whites decided to define Americans, somewhere between ww2 and the early 80s white American men as a group said “whites are no longer exclusively Americans , anyone can… Read more »
I worked for Pat Buchanan in 1992 and 1996. I was a young man at the time, and somewhat naive. I was mocked by my friends and one of them still brings it up, 32 years later, as evidence of my anti-somethingism. These guys are now in their 50s and vote Trump and adore minorities and Jews. Their conditioning in American public education in the 1970s and 1980s told them “anyone could be an American” — meaning, anyone can be like me. Me! Me! Everyone wants to be like me, watch football, make money, and be part of the greatest… Read more »
Additional thought: I’ve actually presented this argument to one of them. His response was predictable: “That what they said about Poles and Irish and Italians, dude. One generation later they were totally assimilated and now nobody knows the difference. You sound like a Nazi.”
They believe they have history on their side as well. It’s a potent, potent drug, and it’s a lifetime addiction.
Remind them that those Poles, Irish, and Italians were partly preassimilated—before arrival—through closely related ancestry, relatively similar physical appearance, and a common religion with a shared history of conversion. The Land of Opportunity gave them a degenerate common language to speak, a toxic Constitution to revere like holy scripture, and a vulgar culture to spread throughout the world by force of arms if necessary. Tell them that owners of the Land of Opportunity learned to demonize their shared ancestry once that ancestry became an impediment to the masters’ goals. So the LOO’s masters decided to enforce their status as replaceable… Read more »
Perhaps in the future the LOO will be flushed of the brown human waste increasingly clogging it.
Some of us still know the difference.
“One generation later they were totally assimilated and now nobody knows the difference.”
Irish, yes. But Poles, Greeks, and Italians are still not totally “assimilated” — whatever that means.
It’s almost as if those Poles and Irish and Italians had something in common…I just can’t quite put my finger on it though…
As Buchanan himself replied to these sort of arguments years ago: “We haven’t even assimilated the Indians [the red kind].”
Oh Lord how I loathe that attitude – and I, too, see it everywhere. When I traveled and lived overseas, I most definitely learned everyone was NOT just like me, nor wanted to be. I learned that people and cultures are different and ought to remain separate and distinct. I learned to appreciate the blessings I had growing up as a child in White America, and I learned those blessings were due to White, Christian men. I’m past tired of hearing about the supposed ‘good’ blacks, Mexicans, Han, etc. Their homelands reflect the inhabitants’ character. Ultimately, genes and race may… Read more »
When I came of age as a native Southerner living abroad, when that regional identity was still very much a defining thing, I developed a boiling hatred of the Puritan that had not been developed at home. You couldn’t miss how freaking parochial are those types who fancy themselves cosmopolitan, how they viewed everything from the standpoint of a deluded enlightenment. They truly thought people from alien cultures strived to be like them, and were appalled when something indicated otherwise (something you still see to this very day with such transplants to the American South–shock to learn people secretly loathe… Read more »
Damn yankees and sandspurs.
“I learned to appreciate the blessings I had growing up as a child in White America, and I learned those blessings were due to White, Christian men. ”
So true. However, fish don’t know that they swim in water. So it was with me. Grew up in a White Christian environment–doesn’t everyone? Then came the change, lots of non-White, non-Christians coming in. The “welcome sign” put up for them, while the “Whites need not apply” put up for us.
What’s the saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” And so it is…
I was a Buchanan supporter also and when the party establishment turned on him it began my exit from the GOP/Conservative Inc. plantation. I stopped reading NR and Human Events and started reading alternative stuff and stopped voting for Republican presidential candidates (until Trump in 2016). I still think Trump was a disappointment who ran as a populist and governed as a Republican but these are desperate times. Normally, I think he would win comfortably but with the relaxation of voting security anything is possible.
While I shrink from bashing whites it was a bit of hubris thinking we could turn brown yellow and blacks into us. It’s like the ultimate conquest of nature itself.
when there are a few of them it can be done, but once they all start sitting at the same lunch table, you’ve got problems
(W)hite American men as a group said “whites are no longer exclusively Americans , anyone can metaphysically transform somehow into being an American because an American is a nobody. I’ll counterargue that. I think when things began to change was when the “Press One for English” crowd started really pouring in from South of the Border. Prior to that an immigrant to the United States was expected to 1) Become a citizen 2) Learn to speak and write English 3) Get with the program and become an American. Oh sure, you could have your cooking and your customs IN YOUR… Read more »
They are counting on forming an elite of the elites of these groups. What they see right now is that it works – for them. Silicon Valley and finance are hugely diverse! This is amazing! That works until it works against them too. It is already starting. I hear people, snivelling cowards who would never step outside of the accepted fashion of the GAE’s social order, openly talking about how South Asians have built whole nepotistic fiefdoms in the software industry. Then there is the issue that the people from India and China come from rising powers – empires. What… Read more »
It’s even worse. Non-English speakers have the legally enforceable right to have a translator in their native language for courts, public education, health care, and I don’t know what else. Not a big problem for Pedro in the Southwest, but what about the “asylum seeker”/illegal who hails from one of the hundreds of obscure indigenous tribes with a language spoken by hundreds, maybe a few thousands?
Quick thought. Why do any of that at all? Appoint a defense attorney to defend—with or without—communication with the defendant. Can’t be done? Really? How then are people tried in “abstencia” or when removed from the Court due to disruptiveness. Remember the “Chicago 7”?
Heh, been waiting on that new website for about four years. Pretty regular prediction, too. How’s the book going? Genuinely curious, the last year has been busy for ya.
[…] weekly podcast. Highly […]
The Substack subscription is a bargain. I don’t always agree with Z but his takes are worth listening to. $5 a month is nothing folks.
“$5 a month is nothing folks.”
True, thanks to Bidenflation.
The weirdos invited millions of third worlders in assuming they would be their foot soldiers. But they aren’t the cannon fodder they had hoped for. Latinos are just Latinos. Blacks can’t put a plan together. Asians stick to themselves and promote their self-interest but aren’t revolutionaries. Jews and Muslims don’t get along. Heck trannies and queers don’t get along.
Meanwhile, White Americans are the largest, most cohesive group in the country. Potentially we have the most power. We had no power as a vast majority. But as we get surrounded we get more powerful. That’s how social dynamics can work.
You make a good point. The “Very Clever Boys” (Hat tip to Severian at his blog for that turn of phrase) thought bringing in these varied groups would push out the natives and leave them in charge for ever. Forgetting completely the idea of Balkanization. And that “Blood and Tribe” contribute to that. They are now learning that these foreigners bring their old hatreds to America, and in one case, bring their hatred of one subset of Very Clever Boys right to their doorstep. And that’s without ginning up new hatreds from running into groups of people they may not… Read more »
Also imagine the “Very Clever Boys” realization that due to the over the top destruction of America there no longer exists much capacity to defeat their enemies in the ME.
At the same time they are learning that the majority of the younger generation do not give a large rodent’s posterior about their tiny country in the ME.
I suppose many of the original Tribesmen who came here probably thought of those ancient empires that had multi-ethnic subjects and how most of them still had a dominant tribe that supplied elite staff for the imperial government. They fancied themselves in that role. What they didn’t take into account is that none of those ancient empires were open societies in any sense. American democracy may be a fraud but it really does allow just about anybody to claw their way into some part of the ruling class. It also allows just about anybody to live just about anywhere. These… Read more »
Eventually, whites will either hang together or hang separately.
We have to accept that a substantial subset of our people never will hang together. They are lost permanently, which over time actually could prove to be a good thing.
Whites, like everyone else, evolved a culture to deal with the reality in which they lived. Most of those who won’t “hang together” aren’t lost per se, but only so long as we do not have the kind of society that their culture works in.
Exceptions, yes, but most other cultures simply are not compatible. White culture only works in a high-trust society, preferably for groups somewhat larger than tribes and less than nation-states. Duchies seem about right. Particularly with “free” cities.
What might be a positive trait in one milieu, might be a negative trait in another. A high out group preference is likely a good thing when trying to survive a harsh winter. More co-operation with other groups, more trust. Misfits simply get thrown out, and die. For 99% of our history, the only groups we dealt with much were nearby, similar people. The world has changed on a dime since the airplanes in particular. You can go from anywhere to anywhere in under 24 hours. Nothing like this has ever existed before. Suddenly, an out group preference is a… Read more »
To repeat myself (endlessly, I know), one important and large segment of our people are “spiteful mutants”. It’s hard to beat your DNA. They can’t change. They might be suppressed, but they won’t change.
People–especially in this group–lose sight of that simple biological fact. It seems most here are beneficiaries of superior genetic stock wrt mental processes. Look to the depth and breath of our commenters and their careers as evidence.
Ah yes, this gets back to what I was saying about how someone could look at 1980s AINO and feel that something was fundamentally wrong with it. Spiteful mutants. (Without digressing into how there were things wrong under the surface, the financialization, the growing damage from the CRA etc., most of that wasn’t apparent to the typical person at the time, to whom most things looked ok in those days.) And that’s certainly not what the spiteful mutants found unsatisfactory. I think at least half of them were just upset that pot was still illegal and thought Clinton would change… Read more »
It is a tough reality to face and seems disloyal, which even if not especially bright and accomplished people find distasteful, understandably so. Truth remains truth, though, and it has to be acknowledged. We live in a time of plenty but that is going away, and when it does, these things will sort. Mutants ultimately are a luxury.
Compsci: You have grasped that vital fact that so many still refuse to acknowledge. People are what they are. Most cannot change; few of those who can ever will. England reduced its violence over centuries by culling and expelling those who would not/could not comply. We have accumulated a lion’s share of the word’s least capable and most spiteful, and refuse to suppress or remove them. AINO’s future is easily seen in its ‘youth’ – all dark (skin and character).
I’ll do a shout-out for Plomin’s “blueprint: how DNA makes us who we are.” I think it’s currently the most definitive take on behavioral genetics. When the signal is real, you can’t the stop the signal. I like your summary of it. “People are what they are.” Equalitarian is dead. I expect it won’t change much in the short term, but in the long term it will make it easier to make the case for involuntary repatriation. It recalls to me why I chose the Roman poet Horace for my posting name. He lived during the transition of Rome from… Read more »
Or in the immortal words of that great sage Buckaroo Banzai:
Absolutely. But the remainder of whites, those who are not thoroughgoing mutants and are capable of hoisting in the advisability of white identitarianism, must coalesce. There must be a white rump and it has needs be made of cast iron.
Wonder if people will do anything different if Kumswalla gets implanted or will they just wait around for the knock on their door we all know is coming at some point…
They won’t do sweet Fatty Arbuckle.
ZMan suggests that : Donald Trump is “ a force of nature who has changed everything during his time in the arena” From where I sit, I would say almost the opposite: Trump has changed Nothing – at least nothing that really matters, nothing substantive – and not in a positive direction of objective achievement. DT failed/ did-not-seriously-try either to “drain the swamp” or “build a wall” during four years. Instead, in 2020 he implemented the world-historical disaster of the Covid lockdowns etc, and later that year the BLM-fuelled violence and social destruction. He endorsed and encouraged the not-vax campaign. And… Read more »
If he does manage to “win” this time, it’s because he’s curried (sorry Usha) enough favor with the oligarchy for them to allow him to. Of course, one could debate who came over to whom, since a schism among the oligarchs had to happen for this to come about.
Barring any surprises in the next 4 years, the greatest accomplishment of President Trump was stirring globohomo to accelerate into naked force in place of fraud.
since a schism among the oligarchs had to happen for this to come about
This is the most important aspect of the sideshow. Close behind is the flight of the neocons back to the Democratic Party. In hindsight we will see both as leading indicators of the recognition that empire no longer was sustainable. Even those of us heavily blackpilled have to acknowledge that is a step in the right direction albeit one that has come far too late.
i completely disagree. Things that could not be said 8-10 years ago are now openly discussed, not least of which is election fraud is 100% a real thing. I think we have a lot more race realists now. Conservative Inc is basically dead, and the party that used to cream their shorts at the prospect of bombing rag heads in the M.E. is now firmly anti-war when it comes to nation building. People who, at one time, were the voices and leaders of the party have been exiled – Cheney, Romney, Trump, even the Bushes know they’re not welcome and… Read more »
Just because you didn’t see the changes you wanted to see doesn’t mean things are the same. This is a never going back election. I see what you mean. As for me, the changes I wanted to see was more groveling genuflection to the Israeli President from our courageous (and extremely obsequious) ‘representatives’. At last, a Bipartisanship a peasant can believe in! I was looking for more white genocide through the aggressive promotion of miscegenation (Thanks Usha! Your cousin Rumpiswampy sez your hubby is just the tits! Big pals, what a coincidence!) I was looking for more failure to defend… Read more »
Hokkada is absolutely correct about the open rule by force, and even though much you wrote in response is true, the clarity is a welcome development.
You’re not completely wrong, but Trump did change things and those things cannot now be undone.
The next and only choice left now for our enemies is to kill us. OK. Game on.
Well you sure can bend the kings english. I’ll bet your a riot at a party.
I upvoted both your comment and Hokkoda’s. I actually think you’re both right because you’re talking about different aspects of the situation.
Heh. And they said the White Boy was dead.
Yet here he stands, still full of good will and good humour, with a big shit-eating grin and two middle fingers raised high.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Someday, someone will make a dystopian movie set 75 years in the future. A grandfather will take is grandson to a closet deep in the back of his assigned living pod, out of sight of Alexa’s camera and listening device. In an old sock stuffed in an old shoe he will gentle unroll that picture of Trump in Butler, PA. “I’m going to tell you a story about a country called America where free men once lived.”
We are all doomed. Might as well fuck over TPTB as much as I can until that day arrives.
Boiled down, Trump is an accellerant, like kerosene dumped over a magnesium blaze.
Inadvertently, his accidental election did something very positive–it forced the demons out of the shadows. To this day I’m puzzled as to why TPTB didn’t simply coopt him, given he likes his ego stroked, but fortunately they didn’t even try. Normie as a whole never will wake up nor does he want to do so, but the borderline cases did and continue to do so. Why people blow that off as unimportant is beyond me. No, there isn’t a political solution at this point, but numbers ultimately count, and some attitudes can change. I saw where Rudy Giuliani said yesterday… Read more »
re: why they didn’t just co-opt him, only thing I can come up with is Ukraine. They had to have it, needed it, or thought they did, and he wasn’t on board. Which dovetails into them framing him as a Russian agent rather than a Chinese or Saudi one. Otherwise, there doesn’t appear to be any good reason for them not to use him for their own purposes.
Why people blow that off as unimportant is beyond me. It depends on how you define waking up. The Guv has abandoned all of its legitimate functions, i.e. maintaining the individual in his property and his life. What else is a government for? If any organization constituted to protect the lives and properties of the citizens grouped within it abdicated these duties, and even actively pursues policies and laws that lead to violent death and the stripping of private property, it has lost all legitimacy. All of it. We live in a country that aggressively imports foreign criminals to rob,… Read more »
Could be. Also, given they are so incompetent in everything else, they may have lacked the capacity to understand it needed to be done.
It is a word and describes the platitudarians amongst us.
‘Any candidate who intended to effect genuine change would talk non stop about White genocide and the ruthless stamping out of feminism as a bare minimum beginning.’ Yep. He’d say right up front that endless female ‘rights’ and empowerment is destroying the nation, and it must be eradicated. That’d enrage 35 or 40 percent of the (happily) brainwashed . . . but so what? Tough. They’re gonna be enraged anyway, no matter what you do. That’s where their power and influence is sourced . . . being Permanently Offended and Enraged. End the pogrom against men and little boys, and end… Read more »
They convinced themselves he was Satan, and there was no going back.
Trump 2016 was Will Smith walking up in the stage at the Oscars and bitch slapping Chris Rock. And millions of Americans standing up and cheering for more.
There was no chance of them choosing a different path just like the fact that the path they chose would inexorably lead to assassination attempts.
All we’re asking for is some Common Sense Woman Control already.
“The Guv has abandoned all of its legitimate functions, i.e. maintaining the individual in his property and his life. What else is a government for?”
It’s an extortion racket, with the camouflage stripped away.
It’s ironic that the Haitians who did remain in the jungle actually destroyed it completely. You can see the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic in satellite photos. On the Dominican side is lush tropical forest and farmland. The Haitian side is brown desert. Coming to an America near you!
Magnesium burns so hot, water is an accelerator. Ask me how I know… 😉
Sound like you may have been luck to get out of that fat-fry alive!
Yep, blew my eyebrows off.
Burn baby, burn.
The government itself now openly operates in defiance of the people.
It can and will continue to do so until bellies are empty and houses are cold, but the clarity is indeed welcome. Throwing the border wide open was the breach that marked the transition to a domestic cold war that will be at best an uneasy co-existence.
[Government] can and will continue to do so until bellies are empty and houses are cold,
Government will indeed continue to oppress, sure. Hunger and cold only spawn left-wing uprisings, though. You can look it up.
The kind of change we need is more like 1773-1787. Not from destitution, but from principle. Christians and men willing to act as if Christian values were worth preserving, saying, “No more.” Put aside rebellion to God, and as Moses and Samuel advised, swear allegiance to Him. If you detest God, and must have a king, at least have a king of your own people.
There is an American remnant, small and scattered for sake of security. The arch-enemy of the regime.
The easy part is Trump winning next week. The hard part is what comes next.
Vance let the cat out of the bag on the Rogan show. They were talking about the laptop and how nobody was punished for that. Vance basically said it’s coming and a bunch of people will lose their clearances. That’s like removing Dracula’s fangs. And it’s an indication that a reckoning is coming.
People who understand how DC works understand that security clearances are a lethal weapon against the administrative state against which there is no defense.
True. He ran as a populist and governed as a Republican. Our only hope (if he wins) is that he has learned that such an approach is untenable.
“..did-not-seriously-try either to “drain the swamp” or “build a wall” during four years.” Here we go again. This statement is demonstrable untrue. The “wall” came off to a slow start due to Dem resistance, but Trump finally played “hardball” and declared a “national emergency” and simply redirected the monies from other budgets (I think military). The first aspect of the wall was to repair and rebuild the old 500 mile stretch of wall, then begin to *add* the new wall. The new wall was going up fast in Trump’s last year and expanding at 10 miles per week. Had Trump… Read more »
27,000 Mexican troops. When he tells that story, you start to realize what a badass he is.
Yeah, I have to agree with bgc (Big Gay Charlie? – just a jest!), here. I believe Z may respond regarding Trump serving as a catalyst, almost like an electrolysis current, that clarified who stands with whom. He did not change the system in the sense of change per se, but he did help clarify and align (demarcate, if you will) the true beliefs of the true believers already in the system. Kicking over a rock doesn’t change the ecosystem of the troglodyte, but it does let us see the system more clearly. I think electrolysis is still the better… Read more »
We may never see this again, but that picture will live for centuries.
A billionaire playboy with a hot wife who could have retired and lived the good life took a bullet for this country, got up shook his fist, and yelled “Fight! Fight! Fight!” This, after being dragged through a river of sewage by people who claimed to be his friends.
if that’s not enough for some people, they deserve a world of death and misery.
I’m afraid we’re in for a world of death and misery even if they allow Trump to resume power. However, I’m still rather compelled by your argument. I almost feel a moral debt to Trump even if voting for him is, from a practical standpoint, pointless.
It’s the fucking least I could do today to go out and vote for him in shitlib Colorado.
The guy took a bullet for us.
Not all of Colorado is shitlib, only the northern front range urban centers. A single armored brigade out of Fort Carson could sweep them into the eastern wastelands where they would starve in a matter of days.
I’m too harsh sometimes. El Paso County and most everyone east of 83 is awesome.
An outcome devoutly to be wished. But wishing ain’t what makes it happen.
Yes human nature ensures the cycle. Being left alone to grow pumpkins isn’t likely.
I will take up arms for this stange new york guy. I recognize a true believer, used to be one myself.
He has much in common with Roman heroes like Cincinnatus.
My take is this. Trump now has a power faction behind him. It is a coalition of power factions. To one of them he openly shows deference and fealty by showing up to the houses of their saints and their holy monuments making symbolic gestures of worship that to me, look like submission. This faction is singularly focused on the expansion of its territory and power of a nation and its nation state. It just isn’t Our nation or Our nation state. The other major one is less public in their support though that has changed recently when one of… Read more »
Donald Trump, a man who does not read and speaks a video vernacular, is a great people person. He thinks he’s superior but he still likes his lessers. The man who goes to Trump Tower to fix his plumbing has more in common with the Queens boy than all the socialites of Manhattan. Brash, bold and hair-beautiful, the Donald reminds one of a romance novel cover gone rogue and aged. Thanks to reality TV, we got to see Donald in his element weekly, and it was fascinating. He’s a creature of the video Internet, of YouTube rather than Salon. But… Read more »
Still pimping your unread blog I see.
“No other country could produce a politician like Donald Trump. Even by American standards, he is a singular figure, a force of nature who has changed everything during his time in the arena.” The first sentence there expresses what is beyond doubt. “Only in America” applies to Trump more than almost anyone else. The last bit of the second sentence is nevertheless an overstatement. Trump has unquestionably changed the cosmetics and the rhetoric of American politics in ways that were unfathomable before he showed up at the party. However, it doesn’t appear that the U.S. Government is any different at… Read more »
The only way for Trump to really change things is to implement a radical program to expel illegal aliens and those who acquired citizenship fraudulently (e.g., the vast numbers of “citizens” who can’t speak English). It will take some mighty big gonads and plenty of force (and maybe deadly force). I don’t think Trump is up to it (he couldn’t even get “the Dreamers” expelled during his term [because they were fine people]). He will get no support from the GOP or the federal bureaucracy. He might get military support if he fires the cuck flag officers now running the… Read more »
“The only way for Trump to really change things is to implement a radical program to expel illegal aliens and those who acquired citizenship fraudulently…” Look, there are at least 15M IA’s (I consider “refugees” as IA’s) scattered about the country. You can’t find and deport them all without creating a political nightmare. Certainly one needs to start deportations under the rubric of ferreting out the “criminal” element, which would be fairly easy as most of these clowns get picked up for breaking laws to begin with locally. You simply require that they be held for pick up by BP… Read more »
Yale University research in 2018 indicated that there were 22M illegal aliens, not the 11M that the govt said. The number dropped a bit before Biden, but if you include his 10M illegals/migrants/refugees, the actual number in 2024 is at least 30M. And of course there at least 20M legals that will never assimilate or speak our language. So in a country of 345M, 50M don’t belong.
We’ve elected nothing but bland centrist presidents for all of our lifetimes. Something about this bland centrist president caused years of riots, every cop from the top fed to the local lardass to turn against the non-criminal citizenry, more openly stolen elections than ever, the universalization of “public-private partnership” in political persecution, a false (in degree, at least) pandemic, and a military coup—in America. Trump is special, though he does nearly nothing. He’s a great symbolic entity. He always has been. Interpretations of the symbol change without him. Only the posthumous mythic Hitler—the American version, where he’s not a politician… Read more »
The widespread unhinged animosity for Donald Trump is the most absurd American political phenomenon of my lifetime. Recall that leftists often foamed at the mouth with detestation of George W. Bush back in the day. However, W. gained the presidency through a heated legal controversy and divisive wars were fought under his puppetry (though it later turned out that much of the so-called anti-war crowd was much more anti-W. than genuinely opposed to foreign military debacles). My point is that the leftists had some plausible excuses for despising W. The hostility toward Trump, on the other hand, appears to be… Read more »
I think the general gravamen against Trump is that he’s allegedly a rayciss (based upon what, I’m not exactly sure). And, of course, he made that “grab ’em by the pussy” remark that’s got the dames eternally in a huff.
Of course, what the Leftists rate utterly damning flaws, we Traditionalists regard as salubrious boons. More evidence–if any were needed–that the two groups have no business living within the same nation-state.
I’ve long been of the opinion that if it wasn’t Trump, it would be somebody else on the receiving end of their rage for being denied the socialist utopia they believe is their birthright (which they aren’t capable of establishing for themselves anyway, they can’t even really define it, but I digress). This was also the root of their rage against Dubya. It’s nothing special about Trump, he just happened to be the one to come along and get in their way. TDS is the exact same thing as BDS, just with 8 more years to evolve and metastasize while… Read more »
Trump is all that the people think they have to counter DC/Woke totalitarianism. They are passionate, even though Donald accomplished almost nothing lasting during his term. Didn’t even get close to building a wall, which was his key campaign promise.
To me, he’s a real-estate salesman, and an Eighties liberal with a Prog daughter, from the 1 percent class. Not exactly shaking-the-earth territory.
I agree with you on Virginia. My thought is that when they call Virginia for Trump at 7pm it’s all over for Harris as even Steal 2.0 wouldn’t be able to save her then.
Yes, go on Paul Ramsey’s show. In California, it’s still worth voting because: 1. As you say, to stick it to the Man. 2. Some Congressional races are tight. 3. To vote against the odious Adam Schiff. Gannett is owned by Fortress Investment Group, which is owned by Mubadala Investment Company, which is one of the sovereign investment funds, worth $302 billion, of the government of Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the UAE, which has ties to China and is a member of BRICS, but which also houses U.S. 5,000 U.S. troops at Al Dhafra Air Base.

The newest, crispest $100 bill I ever received from an ATM was from a Qatari National Bank dispenser at the airport in Doha.
One also had the option of withdrawing gold bars from the ATM. I forget if the weight was 1/4th or 1/10th of an ounce.
“later on, we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire, to face unafraid, the plans we’ll have made, 4 years down the road when Donald’s gone”. All the election does is give us a little more to prepare our own plans.
Gee, that sure does put me in that olde yuletide spirit.
Seeing as how this may be our last weekend in America, well…
Cheers, lads and lassies!
I think there are only two possible outcomes on Tuesday- Trump wins in a blowout with 330+ electoral votes and wins the popular vote, too- or Trump is narrowly ahead on early Wednesday morning by less than 500,000 votes spread across the swing states and the Democrats spend the next week harvesting new ballots to win.
Assuming Trump gets in, I don’t envy him his job. He’ll be holding a weak hand internationally and the things he wants to do domestically take several years to implement, if not decades.
Meanwhile here’s a recently published piece in New Left Review, just off the printing press, so to speak:
https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii149/articles/anton-jager-hyperpolitics-in-america
What about the domestic front?
There’s no guarantee that Trump will get friendly majorities in the houses of Congress.
Even if he does, Speaker Johnson seems like exactly the sort of person that would undermine Trump the way Ryan did during the first two years of Trump’s first term.
Trump will have a hard job both internationally and domestically, no question about it. Clearly he wants to accomplish something –he’s not some grifter like Biden or Harris or Clinton. I wish him well.
Random thought here, I haven’t noticed any “dog whistle” claims lately about how this gesture or that body position is a signal supporting white supremacy. A little disappointed, it was fun when the media or 4chan would claim that things like the “ok” sign was some kind of call to action. Now that they’re bringing up Hitler 24/7 they could say that blinking or head scratching is an invocation of the Fourth Reich, not that hard to amuse me…
The lack of right-wing “memes” this go-round, outside of Trump’s gift for being one himself, is because the right-wing internet has been destroyed. [Bleeps] are passing around campaign photos. Elon lets Libs Of TikTok and the Babylon Bee direct our ire at white women and “illegals,” but 4chan is kill, MPC is deleted, Ricky’s in jail, etc. Not even Jared Taylor is allowed on Twitter. (He’s also not allowed in Poland. Survive The Jive isn’t allowed in America. Which of our guys was most recently barred from travel to England? [Jeopardy music.] That’s right! We don’t even add names to… Read more »
That stuff is still around. Just on Substack. After that is closed down it will be somewhere else.
The incels are still there. Still angry. You just won’t find them on 4Chan any more. Or Reddit. The downside for the Regime crushing a few examples and the purges on platforms is that the rawer stuff is out there and there is more appetite for the red meat so to speak than there was when Ricky Vaughan was on Twitter.
It does feel like something has changed, like Trump is a last hoorah for white America before we move into the next era.
That next era is one where those alien weirdos might be weridos but they’re now the majority. It’s their country now. Normal whites either accept that or start trying to carve out something new for themselves.
it is already their country, regardless of the results.
Wow, Fox News has Bruce Jenner on to plug for trump concerning slowing down the tranny thing in schools and sports.
conservatives strikes again!
Steroids are a helluva a drug!
One point on Minnesota, Walz has driven a decent number of Republican voters out of the state. This was in part because of his draconian Covid policies but also caused by tax increases, particularly on retirees. The state only had a 31k population increase from 2020 to 2023 and you can figure that without chain migration and refugee resettlement they would have had a population loss. For those reasons I would expect Harris to hold Minnesota. Historically, I would rate Minnesota residents as having the strongest loyalty to their state out of any Midwest state. It takes a lot to… Read more »
This is, at the minimum, a very important election, but also the last election for a uniquely American figure. Trump is a unique historical figure for sure: Won 3 elections back to back President twice non consecutive 45 and 47 (<- possible) Survived a clear assassination attempt (and others thwarted before getting to the end) Add this to his personal story But most importantly as many others have pointed out he destroyed the manufactured consensus created in the XX century. As many others I went from a Daily Show daily viewer and daily NYT reader to be on this site.… Read more »
Trump is a modern day Gaius Graccus.
Wants to stop the infinite inflow of immigrants; wants to evict those who are here. Hates forever wars. And so on.
He’ll meet the same fate, and for the same reasons:
He’s a traitor to his class; worse, he has pretensions of improving the living conditions of the great unwashed who are outside of that system and always will be.
(Hope he wins though. BFYTW)
The difference between Rome and now is that more and more elites are being hurt by Open Borders. Defense spending is incompatible with open borders which requires all spending be welfare spending. So Raytheon, Lockheed, Martin-Marietta, etc. are all against open borders as its spells their budget doom. The Defense Dept now understands it needs a draft. Good luck avoiding violent anti-draft riots, and Civil War with a draft coupled with Open Borders. The flip side of atomized White guys is that there is no social order capable of making them stop when they have no downside. Death on the… Read more »
50K casualties a month is projected in a U.S.-Russia conflict in Ukraine. Let that sink in. In other words, the United States would lose nearly the total killed during the course of the Vietnam War (58,281) every thirty days.
My apologies, the real number was every two weeks: “The Russia-Ukraine War is exposing significant vulnerabilities in the Army’s strategic personnel depth and ability to withstand and replace casualties.11 Army theater medical planners may anticipate a sustained rate of roughly 3,600 casualties per day, ranging from those killed in action to those wounded in action or suffering disease or other non-battle injuries.12 With a 25 percent predicted replacement rate, the personnel system will require 800 new personnel each day. For context, the United States sustained about 50,000 casualties in two decades of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. In large-scale combat… Read more »
Western banking oligarchs need a major war in order to mask the upcoming default of sovereign debt bombs in the US and EU. They were hoping to avoid this contingency by raping Ukraine’s resources and kicking the can once again, but Russia is not going down and the clock is ticking. The election is a distraction from this reality. The BRICs are not taking the bait on war, which the West can’t fight anyway. As such, the US and EU will now enter their decade of real hardship. Plan accordingly.
Towards the end of the podcast, Z-man makes the point that the Establishment might actually prefer a Trump victory because it would clear the way for prominent Democratic governors such as Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, and Gavin Newsome to run for president in 2028. Another factor might be the fact that the time between 2025 until 2029 is going to be difficult. The Russians are clearly winning in Ukraine and could be on the Polish border within a couple of years, absent a satisfactory political resolution. The Middle East could involve the US in an unwinnable war against Iran and… Read more »
The Pentagon mostly DOES NOT want a War with China any decade soon. THAT is the Eye of Soros, who made a speech last Spring demanding Regime Change in China that in turn provoked a lot of crackdowns on not just US NGOs but US business as well and lots and lots of dumping. The fundamental problem is now not just the Russians but the Chinese have hypersonic cruise missiles with ranges of thousands of miles or more. Invisible to radar (because of the plasma it generates through extreme high speed friction in the atmosphere, absorbing all radio waves thus… Read more »
The wish list is impressive. One question: Whence comes the money?
Oh no, the thinking house wife isn’t voting! By voting for neither of these selected-and-bought candidates who have zero accountability and are both moral degenerates in a system that is now fundamentally unlawful and evil, I will survive this election season with my integrity intact. Victory will be mine in a world of disappointed losers who have taken the bait and bought into the scam. It is only a matter of time before they realize all they have lost.This country’s biggest problems are moral. Every person who refuses to sell his soul to the scam of mass democracy is a… Read more »
The difference now and 2020 is elite support (some, not all) for Trump. This in my view a direct consequence of the Ukraine War which has exposed the defense / industrial weakness of the US, and the West in general, and secondarily the Green Folly which if allowed to continue will kill AI in the West in its crib. And of course thirdly the auto industry which is at its knees and faces annihilation by cheap Chinese electric vehicles. Already Europe has surrendered on that front with tariffs gone, and the European automakers soon to follow: Volkswagen laying off tens… Read more »
I got half way through your post, then scrolled back up to the top. Just as I thought: Whiskey. You are one depressing fellow, Mr. W.
What is depressing about it? We have, real, real problems. Some elites share the pain of those problems or know they will shortly. They want to solve those problems. Some face immediate jail time because of those problems if Trump loses. Thus, Musk, Bezos (the world’s richest and second richest man) are on the Trump Train. As is AI driven big tech, the defense sector, much of the Pentagon below senior generals, and (not mentioned) but worth noting, all those Captains, Majors, and Colonels “stuck” and not able to be promoted no matter what they do because they have the… Read more »
Since we are predicting a close election, it’s worth looking at all the data, even if some is obscure. In this case, there has been some interesting poll movements in Canada. There have only been a few polls of Canadians, but overall Kamala wins 60-21%. In 2020, the poll was 67-15%. Huge number of “don’t know” as well. The most notable finding, is that Canadian men under 34 are actually tied – 36% Trump, 36% support Biden. The Kamala support is entirely old people, and especially old women. What does this mean for the US though? I don’t know, but… Read more »
Day of the Rake postponed.
Was never really into Trump, am across the pond and madey prediction long ago and stand by it. But even I am getting election fever. I wanna ram orange man down a lot of leftist throats lol
Someone said it’s not an election anymore, it’s now the people’s choice, what’s left of it anyway, running against the regime’s election fraud. If it is anything but a trump landslide, don’t believe a word of it. Any don’t accept it. Harris is not even in this race anymore. Trick or treat? We’ll know Wednesday morning
Getting shot, working at McDonalds, driving a garbage truck – – I don’t care if he’s a half-assed president, I love watching this guy do his thing. If he’s able to win and the cities burn, and the deep state goes bonkers, I don’t care. This guy is taking us on a helluva ride to perdition, which beats slouching slowly towards Gamorrah.
Fun show. The mere idea that Trump is up (or down) 1-2% virtually anywhere is f-ing laughable. The guy is an indefatigable campaigner and barnstormer, attracting thousands everywhere he goes. Meanwhile, Harris – walz struggle to fill high school gyms without the help of black or libshit entertainers. Bottom line – no one will believe a Harris win, including the libshits…
I think Trump is going to roll. After that, who knows? If there is to be any hope of a soft landing, justice must be established and must be seen to be established. Of this I am skeptical. There’s about 300 that need to be in jail and another 30 or so that need to swing. Maybe 3,000 that need to be stripped of citizenship, dispossessed, and deported. Against the hundreds of thousands of Appalachians who were deliberately poisoned the past thirty years and more, I say 3,333 is a mercifully low number. My sense is that whatever happens, a… Read more »
