The ouster of Kevin McCarthy is one of those things that quickly gets internalized, despite its novelty, because the media machine operates like a hype man for a professional wrestling operation. It turns everything into trashy daytime drama, so even an important thing becomes just another poo-flinging contest between professional media partisans. As a result, it loses all meaning.
In the fullness of time, we may look back at it as one of those cracks that appeared in a system that was about to collapse. Think back to the downfall of Speaker Jim Wright in the late 1980’s and what followed. Like McCarthy, Wright was not very popular, but he was a system man who would not rock the boat. The trouble was the old system was no longer sustainable as the world outside was changing.
In the case of Wright, there was a new generation coming along and there was the final leg of the political realignment that started in the 1970’s. In the case of McCarthy there is a generational change and the radicalization of politics. The days of playing the old Republican Party tricks are coming to an end. McCarthy’s “say one thing and do another” approach is no longer going to work for the GOP.
The thing not getting enough attention is the fact that the Democrats were willing to let him swing rather than cut a deal. Maybe it was pure partisan spite or just incompetence, but they left money on the table in order to avoid being seen by their donors and voters making a deal with the other side. Even the dumbest Republican had to notice the unanimity of their “friends across the aisle.”
This McCarthy business suggests Washington may be reaching one of those inflection points like 1994 or 1974. The baby boomer generation is about to leave the stage just as the world is changing rapidly. When Speaker Wright was toppled, the boomers were ready to take over as the Cold War was coming to an end. As the millennials are taking over, the Global American Empire is coming to an end.

I read a thread on Twitter that hit it out of the park, Understand what time it is in America. I have said for decades the hard left will do anything to win, including stealing an election, jailing the opposition and even murder. People rolled their eyes. After Obama got elected I said he was going to spread the model of Chicago politics nationally which includes stealing elections, jailing the opposition and murder. People rolled their eyes. I said the Democrat party was taking its cues from Goebbels. People rolled their eyes. I said Trump was the last hurrah, when… Read more »
Yes, we get it, you get to pull a “I totally predicted thith”. So did a lot of people. Now’s not the time to use your tweezers to jerk off about it. The biggest concern should be (for you and all the “predicted thith” folks) – what are you doing to prepare for it?
“Escape” is not the answer—unless used to reposition one’s self to a better advantage.
There is no escape. As Templar sagely observes. Prepare, as in prepare for them when they come for you and yours.
““Escape” is not the answer—unless used to reposition one’s self to a better advantage.”
Yeah that’s literally exactly what escape is for. So it totally is an answer. The ONLY or CORRECT answer? Dunno. Neither do you or anyone else.
Darn those Democrats! They’re the real Nazis!
“America won’t survive unless Republican politicians get serious!”
Republican politicians won’t get serious because they are paid to lose by the same people who fund the Democrats.
Consider the possibility the source of our current turmoil is deeper than the ideology of Democrats versus Republicans.
Who funds the uniparty and what do they want? Their motivation is not ideological but racial.
Per some of the comments below, looks like Our Greatest Ally is having a good time:
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-state-war-hamas-after-palestinian-militants-launch-unprecedented-incursion
I’m sure Israel dindu nuffin.
There is lots of kick ass footage on Telegram channels like DD Geopolitics and Intel Slava Z.
In terms of numbers there are estimates that the Pals have already destroyed 14 tanks, dropped 4 helos, and inflicted 4 or 500 casualties.
Thanks, I’ll check it.
If only Our Greatest Ally had embraced diversity, none of this would have happened given how strong it would have made it. Along those lines, I’m certain Tel Aviv has noticed the traditional boot licking has declined among the American populace.
Couldnt happen to a nicer bunch of fellas.
Seems pretty convenient right when the Goblin King is trying to neuter their Supreme Court and needs a 9/11 to shut the liberal goblins up.
Yeah, the U.S. (((media))) is conveniently forgetting to tell you that on Thursday, 800 Jews stormed the al-Aqsa mosque and defiled it by performing Talmudic rituals in it.
Nothing to see here, kids, move along. The Palestinian attack on the innocent Jews happened for NO REASON:

I hate the effing ragheads.
They would enslave and rape you at their first chance. And they did this to Europeans for many centuries.
With that being said, there is a respect amongst the dissident right for them as well. They move to the West and remain in their own enclaves, retain their culture, and successfully resist being pozzed like Christians have to globohomo. There are lessons to be learned from them.
If the “Dissident Right” wants to support filthy ragheads then the DR are fools.

These people are nothing more than animals, the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.
Carl B.: Neither side is “your people.” Neither side would support you in your time of need. Why not say a plague on them both? Granted, the standard image of the Arabs dancing around with children on their shoulders while waving their rifles in the air is (at least to me) reminiscent of Africans. As I said, these are an alien and anti-Western people. But so are the Israelis. They spit on foolish and deluded Christian tourists. Their crimes against Whites may be a bit more subtle and long-term, but they are just as lethal and share the same goal.… Read more »
Left Coast Inmate: Said “German” tattoo artist is not an ethnic German; she is juice. She was pierced, tatted, and mutilated. She was attending a ‘peace’ rave in Gaza. Why/how does her death affect you?
Who said anything about support?
That woman was also the enemy. Dual citizen goblin plus “30 year old tattoo artist” means level 99 shitlib.
This may be a case of “the enemy of my enemy…”.
However, quoting from Netanyahu—“sometimes the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy”.
Perhaps better is from Shakespeare, “a pox on both your houses”.
Has it occurred to you that we may not have a dog in this fracas?
The usual suspect are calling for war on Iran. Of course by implication that means Syria as well. So they want war with Russia, China, Iran and Syria. The neocons with their little brains probably don’t understand that we cannot win a conventional war against any of those countries at this point. If you liked the Iraq and Afghanistan wars then you will love a war with Iran. Maybe the neocons realize they can’t fight the Russians so they think they can save face by beating up Iran. That would be the military mistake of the century. It would rival… Read more »
I’d respect them a whole lot more if they stayed in their own dam’ Stans.
Fucking OK Boomer take there. Do you have a Dick Cheney poster on your wall? There is something to be said for enemies who directly tell you they hate you. I’ll take that over the one that’s been slipping the knife between our ribs from behind for a century.
We don’t have a dog in that fight Conservatard, let it play out.
Your stupidity notwithstanding, I still effing hate ragheads.
I instinctively recoil from the arabs because they display the same pack animal frenzy that blacks do, but I have to admire the skill and stealth required to plan and carry out the attack.
“Unprecedented raids by land, sea, air…”
Impressive. I’m not defending the subsequent savage behavior.
Although I don’t like the palestineans, our situation resembles theirs. I hope that we can be as crafty and resourceful.
In sportsball idiom, “There is never an upset without a great collapse”
I don’t mean Pearl Harbor takes about self-fragging (both factions inside Israeli gov’t now shamed completely), rather, that Hamas Etc. must have learned from the Mexican cartels that 2023 diverse pink-haired Leviathan has “pies de cerámica.”
But while snaggle-toothed British hacks can instantly spin out Whither Empire and Knock-On Effects press clippings, I think they have fewer inklings about the other “Problem From Hell,” to wit, diverse pink-haired tax-eaters. Honestly I’m unhopeful that Arab desperados have the answer.
Hard to fathom your problem: are you mentally ill or just plain illiterate?
Weirdest/dumbest writing style I’ve encountered outside Youtube comments.
I think Russia withstanding the Empire’s supposedly infallible weapon – economic sanctions – has produced a paradigm shift, as you say. I remember a similar effect when the Soviet Union failed to conquer Afghanistan in the 1980s. Up until then, there was a mythos about the Red Army; it seemed to be an inexorable, unstoppable force. Wherever it went, it overwhelmed its target and then STAYED. The best we could hope to do was to build moats and barriers around our safe areas, because if they ever breached the defences it was game over. When they failed to hang on… Read more »
We can only hope.
All I can say is: Vi-vek ,Vi-vek,Vi-vek. Let us embrace are new Indian overlords!
Be careful about embracing their left hands.
“ As the millennials are taking over, the Global American Empire is coming to an end.”
I hope this is so- the end of GAE.
I’m not confident the machine is finished.
“When Speaker Wright was toppled, the boomers were ready to take over as the Cold War was coming to an end. As the millennials are taking over, the Global American Empire is coming to an end.”
More to that quote. Not mentioned, but one might also notice Jewish power is starting to break.
Not looking to kick the hornet nest, just sayin’, that could clarify and connect some dots re: strong anti-boomer sentiment out there. For better or worse, fair or not.
Demographics really are destiny!
“Not mentioned, but one might also notice Jewish power is starting to break.”
If you think so try uttering the two words “jewish power” in any public forum under your own name… and see how fast you get fired (or worse).
It’s so complete, forget questioning it, youre not even allowed to REFER to its existence without devastating penalties.
I haven’t gotten as far in life as I could’ve because of that, I’m sure. Anyway, I don’t think speaking frankly about real things should be an issue. People are strange.
That comment seems a bit prophetic given the events of the past eight hours.
Talk about politics!
That clip of Ilhan Omar, curled up in her seat, restlessly licking her chops while staring down Matt Gaetz’s butt- yeah, there’s definitely some whitebread on the menu tonite!
Good on Matt Gaetz for putting his boot on McCarthy’s throat, and keeping it there until he crushed his wind pipe. Also… fuck Newt the Grinch for calling for the ouster of Gaetz. The good guys finally have a win.
Another thing that Russia has shown is that Western weapons and military might are grossly overhyped. The U.S. empire has always relied on military force when economic sanctions didn’t do the trick, and most countries rightly feared that. Russia has shown that its cheaper and more reliable weapons are at least the equal of anything the West can offer, and that their industrial base for war is far superior to the West. It’s no accident that the multipolar world is merging a lot faster now, because the empire has been shown to be far weaker than anyone expected.
This is true of most empires — they expand by beating up on weaker opponents.
The British were pretty impressive when they were shooting nonwhite, primitive Subcontinentals and Zulus… their record was not nearly as successful against Americans, Boers and Germans.

We in the Dissident Right are still viewing the socio-political/politico-sociological landscape through the eyes of Daniel Patrick Moynihan & William F Cuckley & Ed Rollins & Lee Atwater & James Carville & Paul Begala. We simply have to jettison the 20th Century nonsense. If we are to survive, then our mindset must wander 1500 years into the past, to the great plague of Justinian, circa 541 to 549 AD. During that plague, the southeastern Mediterranean lost so many White Christians that the Muslims waltzed virtually unimpeded right into theater dominance for the next 1500 years. The V@xxpocalypse is an epochal… Read more »

Yeah, they really came out of WW2 with flags flying, didn’t they? Brits are VASSALS of the GAE. When we’re gone, so are they.
Wow the british must have a really mighty and vast empire with all those costly wars they won!
Oh, don’t tell the normie engineers I work with that.
They’re totally convinced that the stealth coating that peels off the F-35 is a +5 cloak of invisibility straight from Dungeons & Dragons.
Even if it’s all they think it is, there’s not a whole lot for it to do in a theater like Ukraine, other than fly around and look pretty
It would be good to hear someone with a lot of knowledge do a show on what all happened between Gary Hart getting thrown out of the Dem primary in 1988 and Clinton getting the nomination four years later. In between the two was Anita Hill which makes the about face on these issues even more abrupt. AWFLs went crazy defending Hill and then turned around and voted for Bill Clinton 13 months later. James Carville went all in discrediting the Clinton accusers, remember his “this is what you get when you drag $100 bill through a trailer park” line.… Read more »
One very notable difference: Hart dropped out. Nobody made him quit (far as I know). Evidently he had shame, unlike Clinton, who just didn’t care.
And if Hart had stayed in, and benefited from a 3rd party guy siphoning votes from Bush like Clinton did, then he too could have won with 43% of the popular vote, just like Clinton.
Good point, people forget Clinton’s popularity waxed and waned for his two terms and in 1992 the only state where he won 50% of the vote was Arkansas. There were also a fair number of white Southerns who were easily duped into voting for a ticket they saw as made up of “their guys.” No one in 1988 was getting a significant percent of the vote as a third party.
That reminds me of a new thing I noticed: Libertarians are the only Democrats who still bring up Bork. Normal Democrats don’t have to remember anything that happened before today, but people pretending not to be Democrats do. Wherever a “right libertarian” thanks the Republicans for keeping Garland off the Court—as if giving a wannabe Beria the job of running the nation’s law enforcement apparatus is better—a Real Libertarian will arise to feign agreement and remind the straying sheep to thank the Democrats for sparing us from Bork, who was just as bad “from the other side.” All but two… Read more »
My longstanding assumption is that when a major Democrat goes down in flames, it is because the real puppet-masters want him purged. The Media, under orders, bring down their full weight: so, buh-bye to Jim Wright, Dan Rostenkowski, Gary Hart, John Edwards, Anthony Wiener, maybe Menendez?, Andrew Cuomo… Cuomo is a tell for me, as a subject of the NY State satrapy. During the Covid hysteria, he was riding too high, he was gaining serious national attention; then someone upstairs saw him as a threat, maybe not as manageable as a Biden, who – events show – had already been… Read more »
They sacrificed Cuomo because people were starting to ask questions about the nursing homes. Funny how that has all disappeared now.
Jeffrey Zoar: “One very notable difference: Hart dropped out. Nobody made him quit (far as I know).” The obvious explanation there is that Hart was not a CIA guy. The CIA had already long since examined & approved the personality profiles of both Bush & Clinton; both were known assets with reliable personalities. But apparently Hart/Hartpence had the wrong personality type. As did Ross Perot. Hart & Perot were personalities which were too unpredictable for the CIA to allow them to get too close to the Throne Room. Clinton’s sojourn in England, monitoring his fellow students for subversive behavior [likely… Read more »
Yeah I’m pretty sure the Dems let McCarthy dangle because he supported the Biden Impeachment hearings. I think they would have gotten behind him had he not given the go-ahead. That said, you have to wonder about the system producing all the midwit Republican Congressman we see these days. I mean, Gingrich, Dick Armey, David Stockman and Ron Paul and a whole generation of guys from the post- Reagan Era were giants compared with McCarthy and Scalise and even Jim Jordan, who seems like a good guy but is no intellectual. And Pat McHenry is bright enough, but is wholly… Read more »
All this sounds terrifying and true to me. Masks are dropping, and fast. The GOP is nearing or has reached its ‘sell by’ date. Those of us in hostage states such as NY understand that the “2-party system” myth no longer requires maintenance. Hochal is a monster, of course, but it was Cuomo who declared that all of us ‘deplorables’ not on board with the progressive agenda were not proper New Yorkers; my family, on my father’s side, settled here in the 1800s as farmers, which makes our homeland, right? Wrong! We are aliens and miscreants. New York would be… Read more »
Mine have been here since 1687, so you have a sympathetic audience.
When Cuomo said there was no place in New York for conservatives he was on to something. More precisely there’s no place in the New York Democrat party for white men.
as if things weren’t interesting enough, looks like china is slowly collapsing
China is hurting, because all its customers, the US and EU, are in recession due the sanctions on Russia. Germany is near collapse. on the bright side, nowadays most of China’s is with the Global South.
I’ve been to Germany and America. If you think Germany is the country nearest to collapse…
I think if youve been vassalized by a country nearing collapse youre clearly winning the first down the toilet race everyone has entered
they are having a real estate apocalypse. their banking system makes ours look stable
OK, Gordon Chang.
you are completely mistaken in thinking that the parties don’t represent the voters wishes . the absolutely do . the actual voters, the dominion machines, are getting exactly what they want. anybody else going into the polls is just pretending, and have no real say.

44:00 “…they would like to see manufacturing come back… not all of it, you can’t go backwards…” Right now, we’re doing the really low value stuff like cotton and corn and the extremely high value stuff like machinery. But it’s nowhere near enough. We’re running 60 billion Dollar a month trade deficits. 2023 will mark the first time in US history that we will be a net importer of food (though I’m not sure this is $ or tonnage).

The gap between the Republican party and Republican party voters continues to grow, and unlike the Dems, they have no way to bring them back. You can tell the Republicans are getting desperate as they are angry that voters are not supporting the politicians (which, of course, is a total inversion of what this system of government is supposed to be) and furious that people are fine with the idea of not passing these massive CRs or shutting down the government or hitting the debt ceiling. . People on the right are happy to see the chaos and want to… Read more »
Voters aren’t supporting the politicians? Could’ve fooled me. Here in so-called Trump Country, the reddest of the red, not a one of our Congressewes voted to kick McCarthy out. And Mullins, our junior Senator (indulge me – I can’t bear to put Senator in front of his name), was trotted out by Mitch McConnell to accuse Gaetz of confessing to sins that would make Bob Guccione blush. After many years of practice performing unnatural acts on Paul Ryan in Congress (heck, he may trot over to Fox once in awhile for old times’ sake), he is now scratching Mitch’s Itch.… Read more »
Taleb talked about this in one of his books, maybe Antifragile. In any situation, the vast majority will go with the flow, that’s just reality. It does not take many people, a tiny significant minority, to make significant changes. I mean, look at the past 10 years – what percentage of people do you think see themselves as “nonbinary” or were “born in the wrong body” and look at what they have done?
In this case, we have an actual number – 8 Republican reps wreaked havoc on the party with 213 on the other, “establishment” side.
I’m against the soldiers and proud of it. The imperial storm troopers can twist in the wind.
Agreed … if I hear “thank a veteran!” or “our heroes!” one more time I think I’ll puke. When a person signs up, they are doing a job just like everyone else and they know what the deal is. So give me a break on the soldier crap.
Criticizing the US military is homophobia
Ouch, but it’s still funny.

About 60% of the citizens (voters + non-voters) are either to the left or the right of the Uniparty.
The Uniparty product is making very sure those people don’t get what they want.
My favorite part is the explanation of the subservience of the republicans to democrats, sucking their dick since the new deal. Not just speakers but senators like McConnell and that traitorous shit McCain. Never fighting to upend and set a new path. Some people thought Reagan was upending the order but was subsumed by the dem control of the house. Honestly wonder where the contry would be if country club shit republicans like romney’s daddy were pushed out of the way and Taft actually got the nom for 40 instead of that loyal opposition scumbag line Wenke.
Somewhat related to this show, I am now advising any friends/acquaintances to sign up for social security at first eligibility, age 62. You’ll take a significant reduction in monthly benefits compared to what you would receive if you wait, but at this point social security reform is inevitable within the next few years, and it will involve: (1) higher taxes; (2) lower payouts; and (3) higher retirement age requirements. I suspect it may also involve reduced payouts based on income and/or wealth status. It may also involve enhanced payouts or lower retirement age requirements based on diversity goals. If you… Read more »
Social Security should be means tested and eligibility age raised. Social Security is not a “problem,” it is a “predicament.” “Problems” have solutions and can be avoided if detected early enough. 40 years ago, Social Security was still a problem. I believe SS is the main reason for the open borders business. Europe has the same problem. There are all these unfunded pensions and old ages schemes like SS that are funded from current taxes. Without massive immigration, there simply are not enough workers to deliver on the promised benefits. But all these 3rd worlders do not solve the problem,… Read more »
Means testing is a dangerous thing, and here’s why. Like the federal income tax, it would begin by targeting only the very wealthy. It would end by targeting everyone who works for a living (aka white people). Soon, only welfare recipients and brown bodies (but I repeat myself) would be receiving social security benefits. Any white person who advocates for a reduction in social security is playing right into their hands. We should never voluntarily give up our benefits. No other group does. They demand more gibs regardless of the cost. Until we cut foreign aid, welfare for layabouts, health… Read more »
The anti-white GAE depends on Whites being “reasonable”. The best example of this is affirmative action, they expect Whitey to be “reasonable” and check the “White” box in any government form or job application, even though that relegates him to second-class status (as we saw in that Bloomberg report). The time to be reasonable is over. Social Security is still universal because the recipients and future recipients are extremely unreasonable about this. Likewise, gun advocates keep getting wins in court because they are completely and totally unreasonable, in spite of the opposition that says that “the majority are in favor… Read more »
Winter: Interesting take, and one I hadn’t really considered before. In general I am opposed to Social Security and any other legacy Ponzi scheme from fdr. My husband wants me to wait (I have been eligible already for a few years) because most of it would go to taxes due to his current income. But your points are valid, and you’re right – it is one of the few ‘bennies’ available to Whites. You’ve made me reconsider my position, although I hate dealing with the fedgov for anything (still dragging my feet on Medicare as well).
Your husband is wrong. You will more income per and more over your lifetime if you enroll now.
Also enrollment in Medicare A and B is mandatory at age 65.
Bob Sykes: F**k anything “mandatory.” Or “for my own good.” And we’re still checking into the details, since my husband is still working and I’m covered under his health insurance (although we chose a high-deductible HSA to save money instead of the insane monthly cost of the standard ppo).
Yes, it’s all technically ‘my’ money they deducted the years I worked, but the hoops I have to jump through to get it, and the idiot bureaucrats I will have to talk to, and the obscene amount of money it all costs . . .
Sykes, unless you know your exact date of “death” you can not make the statement regarding immediate enrollment or waiting until age 70. As it is now, the typical expected mortality figures for a white woman pretty much balances out the loss of early retirement amount. Of course, you can make a judgement as to your own health and life expectancy.
What you do gain is that the surviving spouse will get to choose between the higher of the two SSI checks.
Guest wasn’t making a value judgement on what should or shouldn’t happen, but what is likely to happen whether we like it or not. It’s a situation I’m considering now, and a bitter pill.
I’m not saying to be reasonable. I’m saying SS will collapse if it is not reformed. If it’s collapsed, nobody gets it. This would leave a lot of White seniors, who paid into it all their lives, destitute and living in abject poverty. There are negatives to means testing Social Security and I have serious doubts that the government can do this well. However, you act like the choice is means test and cheat whitey out of his benefits or don’t and help whitey. That isn’t the choice being presented. The choice is reform it or it collapses. The government… Read more »
Again and yet again (it seems like forever), I am correcting this group wrt SSI. Really folk, simply read the law or visit the SSI website. Tars you are only partially correct—and that’s being generous. SSI has a source of funding—employee’s currently working! Yes, their deductions (SSI’s current income) does not fully cover (pay out) what is currently allotted as benefits, hence the monthly dip into the trust fund for the difference. Trust fund? There is no trust fund Tars says. Yes there is, it’s T-Bills! SSI cashes in whatever they need at the end of the month. This fund… Read more »

Island fortress no longer, our intelligence community f*ckery in distant lands would now come in a tidal wave to our shore

Another potential white pill: demographic winter being a GAE policy raises the possibility that it goes with GAE. So much money and effort has gone into it that’s it’s hard to reckon what would’ve happened organically. If, otoh, the policy is a symptom of GAE’s collapse, we’re as screwed as the Romans were. I’m not sure which case is true, but being that our rulers almost unanimously hate us, and being that the policy benefits various shortsighted interests, I lean towards the former. Also, being the product of shortsightedness, one might reasonably expect it to be short lived. Going out… Read more »
Our rulers did actually believe, for a long time, that an expanding population meant an expanding economy meant more prosperity for all. On top of that, our rulers believed in “magic soil” theory. Or that being in the presence of whites (er, I mean living in a Democracy!) or operating under white systems (er, I mean practicing Liberalism!) made everyone effectively white. Lefties say that white supremacy is non-white people suffering under a white-built system, but it is in fact the opposite: white people graciously offering their life-ways to non-whites and then expecting non-whites to magically act like Bob and… Read more »
Those ideas have been around since Babel, and they’ll end the same way. Whites’ graciousness turns out to be pride, and Pride goeth before destruction, an haughty spirit before a fall. Or something like that lol.
My contribution to the Black Pill Friday podcast is that even Dan Bongino is starting to crack. He is now full-on F-bomb expletives all the time, ranting that the police state is already here, and that if Trump is not elected in 2024 all is lost. He acknowledges that the national debt bomb will likely explode next year when short term Treasury Bills must be rolled over at significantly higher interest rates. Can the Fed bail them out once again by printing endless fiat? No way or hyperinflation. Take your pick. The first domino fell in Slovakia with the election… Read more »
I’m pretty sure the crazies in charge are thinking,
“Who needs icky engineers and industrial plants when you can just nuke everything?”
Bongino is part of the Irish Right. (Or if you will, the Irish-Italian right, AKA the populist right. Beck, Bannon, Bongino, you get it.) At some point, they all go bonkers. They think voting for the guy who fires guns in campaign commercials will save us. Then they think that if enough outrage is generated, there will be a people’s revolt worthy of Norman Rockwell. When none of this comes to pass, they start getting apocalyptic. Because they don’t see a way through except via Christ or QAnon.
“Because they don’t see a way through except via Christ or QAnon”
By modern standards half right aint too bad.
Interesting times indeed. Between the rapid decline of the American empire, and the complete and utter irrelevance of Europe, it will all be turned over to the globalists soon enough. Forty-plus years of liberal immigration policies and refugee ideology have tipped the demographic balance which will forever change the faces and politics in the west. Our so called “social contracts” are practically meaningless on all levels of society. Sweden and Norway currently lead the way for cashless societies while Italy is already experimenting with a watered down form of social credits. World governments used the pandemic to test their ability… Read more »
If Germany had a real leader who would put their country first he/she might save the entire world. A good leader would get on a plane to Russia and make a deal with Putin. Rebuild the NS Pipeline and ask the U.S. Military to go back to France or Britain.
The U.S. committed a catastrophic act of war on Germany. The German people should not forget that.
America and the allies did what they had to do. We all understand that. The current situation across Europe was a well orchestrated and mutually agreed to suicide that started shortly after the war ended. It’s nothing new, but only new to people who don’t know the history of European immigration. Germany encouraged 14 million guest workers from Italy and Turkey to come here and help rebuilt the country but never forced them go return. France and the UK are victims of their own colonization as they invited their commonwealth citizens to bring their culture and religions to the mother… Read more »
Karl Horst: There is ample blame to go around, but I have read that Germany was quite reluctant to invite in Turkish guest workers after the war, correctly protesting that they were too inherently different. The US was insistent, however, and saw it as a means of keeping Turkey a happy member of the ‘west’ in good standing. And even then, the US doing the encouraging was heavy on a certain group of people who had filled the Roosevelt administration.
That’s right, the Turkish “labor” was used on American bases, a reward to our Turkish allies during the Occupation.
Worse irony, Turkey was a German ally in Lawrence’s time.
Yeah, the same US that just shot down a Turkish drone over Syria.
It would be a hilarious paradox if Erdogan invoked Article V against the US, but I don’t think he has the stones.
America and the allies did what they had to do. We all understand that.
No. No they didn’t. Lindbergh, Fr. Coughlin and Patton were right, and the USA of WW2 should forever live in shame.
Ok, so the worst of those three was Patton, whose Third Army ran roughshod over the Germans. It’s not like he led like McClellan, fighting indifferently against an “enemy” he sympathized with.
The USA of WW2? Ok, I get it: We all hate and reject the American mythos, the “Greatest Generation” bullshit, etc. But “it should live in shame?” Why? Can you tell me which major country in that war should NOT live in shame? Are you saying – as Coughlin did, and Lindbergh (who changed his mind, by the way) – that fighting the Germans was a bad idea?
France and the UK could send the wogs back from whence they came if they had the will to do so. Such measures have been undertaken by various nations in the past. But, alas, the past is a different world.
This colonization means unlimited immigration only applies to European countries.
Colonization ended so the immigration will be reversed?
It’s all just fake arguments to justify the agenda.
“America and the allies did what they had to do. We all understand that.” Bullshit. America allied itself with the communist Soviet Union of Josef Stalin to destroy and occupy a country that never did and never could attack it. America allied itself with the monster Josef Stalin to take down a democratically-elected German leader who was trying to save his people from Bolshevism and to reunite a country that had been partitioned at Versailles. I know it’s probably illegal in Germany for you to admit that, so I don’t expect you to agree, but the facts are the facts.… Read more »
America allied itself with the monster Josef Stalin to take down a democratically-elected German leader who was trying to save his people from Bolshevism and to reunite a country that had been partitioned at Versailles. Mmm … he was democratically elected once, never had to go through the nuisance of an election again. As for the rest of it, true, but he was still evil in other ways, even if only a runner-up compared with the Red Monster. It’s very unfortunate we had to ally ourselves with the Commie regime, but it took both American and Soviet might to overcome… Read more »
Gee, Karl. How far up our asses can you get your nose?
Ask? The GAE military should be evicted and all installations and equipment confiscated without compensation. Actually, this should have been done directly the GAE sabotaged the Nordstream.

Or just rebuild NS.

Spectacular show, Z!
I am a Canadian and don’t know the ins and outs of American politics… but that gong show with your house speaker left me vapour locked. To me it has the feel and atmosphere of a “beer hall putsch”. But then again it’s been feeling awfully 1939-ish for the last couple years.
Something is going to give.
Soon.
From your mouth to Gods ear.
Not really. It’s much, much less of an event than a PM losing a confidence vote in the Commons, because the PM is both the party leader and the executive.
The putsch is a bad example, it happened in 1923, not 1939 and Uncle A went to prison for it.
Yes I suppose you’re right X. I just feel that it was an event signalling a huge tectonic shift is imminent… like the remors that come before a major eruption or earthquake.
I look at it this way: I think of how PISSED OFF A I am with the left… and I am pretty easy-going by nature. I’m betting that on the rage spectrum, I’m probably right in the middle. Those to the left of me are just starting to Notice Things. Those to the right are probably planning targeted assassinations and drawing up accountability lists…
I get that people are pissed off, but the brilliance of the American system is that it diffuses power so much that people can vent their frustrations without making the entire government fall as can happen in parliamentary systems. Not so much in Canada’s Westminster system, but in multiparty parliamentary systems you can have fragile governments that continually fall again and again when no majority coalition is possible. You saw this in France in the 1950s, and you see it in places like Italy. Small parties of unhinged radicals can hold a coalition hostage to their demands. I am 100%… Read more »
GAE coming to an end indeed. Assad just completed a visit to China. He was given close to a hero’s welcome. Syria will no doubt be part of the belt and road initiative together with Iran. BRICS plus membership soon. Since it will be difficult for Erdogan to do without the Chinese at this point, I suspect he will have little choice but to at least partially calm tensions with Syria. Not working out at all like Mr. Netanyahu had hoped. I guess the quality of their vassal states is not what it used to be. The Kagan cult must… Read more »
Yes. And Erdogan goes to China with cards to play in terms of his loyal colonists that the indolent European ruling regime has willingly imported.

Speaking of inflection points, HRC just floated the “formal deprogramming” of the “MAGA extremists” aka “cult members,” which all of us here would be classified as (by them), regardless of the inaccuracy of that categorization.

I’d take it with a couple grains of salt. The old bitch is in cognitive decline like most first gen boomers. She can say stuff like that and the younger folks around will laugh indulgently… but they know also they will bleed and die too if they ever try it. Gawd I love Americans and their second amendment…
Never underestimate your enemies. She sounded quite sane as I heard her. Often such people are used to float “trial balloons”. They move the Overton Window sort to speak. This gives cover/rationale for enforcement of such recommendations. Enforcement being increased scrutiny of MAGA affiliated groups of folk, followed by prosecution for seditious activities—probably initiated by FBI plants. What I heard her say was even more inclusive than just MAGA in that she segued into election denial and such. In other words, if you’re in any way critical of the last couple of elections, you are an extremist and a danger… Read more »
What has been going on in America for roughly the past 30 years puts the Red Scare to shame. We have long been beset by literally hundreds of thousands of anti-white Joe McCarthys and they’re in command of every node of power in the country. Joe McCarthy never had such control. Perhaps that other Joe–Stalin did.
Joe McCarthy was right and a damn good Americahero.
The Brown Scare didn’t really get going until after the Patriot Act gave the State the power to combat “terrorism” in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Quite right, OK. The so-called “Red Scare” was based on real events. Despite the antihistory promulgated by leftist academics that the whole thing was ginned up in the bigoted minds of the Birchers and the Midwestern rubes, it’s not as if the Rosenbergs didn’t actually give the USSR the nuclear secrets, and the Communists hadn’t actually taken China and Korea and actually tried to take Greece.
Yeah, but a black list of 75 million people? Plus their families, which might push the figure to 150 million? To achieve a complete solution to the MAGA problem would require either nuclear weapons or some aerosol-delivered pathogen of 100% mortality. Maybe something along the lines of those bubonic plagues cooked up and deposited on Chinese villages by the Brain Trust at Unit 731. It’s not like the USG doesn’t have all this information or that it hasn’t refined it at Ft Dietrick or in some labs in Ukraine, China, etc. Which will work fine, but first, arresting, transporting, concentrating… Read more »

Read the “Militia” amendment with a careful eye. It says that the ruling class, aka a “free State”, won’t deprive itself the use of the organizations which were effectively centralized by Articles I and II. The idea that it protects petulant gun nuts with private arsenals is merely read into it, mostly by chumps who believe the big lies told in the Declaration of Independence and the preamble.

Speak for yourself!
I speak of 80% of the whites living in the country that continues to call itself the United States of America.
I can imagine the liberals in my family, who LOVE Hillary, smiling more in sadness than in anger when they hear her plan. They will think of me and conclude “it will be for his own good.”
I can understand why shitlibs back her. But I’ll never understand how they could love her.
Protecting and promoting abortion is their highest religious value and they revere Hillary as a beloved warrior saint.
The women are feminists and the men are environmentalists focused on overpopulation. Both see abortion as the single most important issue in advancing their causes.
Although they don’t conceive of their position in this way, the men in my family who are environmentalists focused on overpopulation, want to lower the world’s population by reducing white births.
For example, if I were to suggest to them that we stop our aid to Africa, or to mothers who are illegals, they would probably faint from horror.
Your observations are especially interesting given the absolutely vapid effort the GOP is putting into it’s presidential campaign effort, vapid to the point that an East Indian and a fat guy from New Jersey got their fingers rapped by the pussies in the party when they openly wondered what the point of the exercise was. I mean if they have trouble keeping an absolute tool like Chris Christie on script then party disintegration is imminent (hopefully).
Hakeem Jeffries is like Barack Obama: a hate-filled lawn jockey who does what ol’ massa tells him to do. For whatever reason, the actual Establishment that runs the Empire and makes Jeffries dance wanted McCarthy taken out. Are they looking for an off-ramp for Ukraine? Just throwing that out–maybe they want to cut off the Ukraine funds and blame the GOP for the Russian victory. Also, Jeffries did reach out to his friends across the aisle to his.

With respect, that purge will not be necessary. Obama purged the military brass thoroughly and replaced them with Obama loyalists, most of whom are still there. Trump’s fatal error was failing to purge the government that had been stacked with Obama loyalists, beginning with the military. In 2016 I told my wife that if Trump didn’t purge the government he would end up in prison, exiled, or dead. I’m no genius. If it was obvious to me I can’t fathom how Trump missed it. Vox Day has been dismissive of Trump for failing to cross the Rubicon, but that is… Read more »
Purged? And replaced with aspiring “immigrants”?
Opportunities will indeed exist for…some.
Regarding McCarthy, I am reminded of a scene on the original Godfather, a conversation between Frankie Five Angels, who was in protective custody for potentially being a witness against Michael Corleone, and he has a visit from the Corleone consigliere Tom Hagen, and they discuss hypothetically, when a Roman Senator has erred, he is allowed to honorably “open his veins” and his family can keep their estates. This sounds like McCarthy, he was used then allowed to depart intact.
Jack: Excellent and frighteningly prescient comment. It really is up to us to connect the dots, to combine the regime’s seemingly random and obscure pronouncements and predict their intended actions. I saw that Hilary headline. Sure, maybe they’re just using her to float a trial balloon, but you know that they regard us as either ignorant rubes or dangerous, inbred notsees. We also know they’ve been experimenting with drugs that they claim have made conservatives more liberal thinking. https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-created-a-drug-that-makes-people-more-compassionate I also saw that juice judge’s strategy and intent to seize Trump’s property under asset forfeiture.

I suspect asset seizures will become commonplace in leftwing jurisdictions in the near future and attempts to nationalize them for various “infractions” will start real friction with states that resist enforcement orders. I wish your husband were right. He isn’t. The problem will be less ham-handed that outright grabbing in most instances but the end game will be the same: they take, laughing at anyone who believes the Fifth Amendment or any law is still a thing.

Note that it was only a handful of GOP rebels who swung the vote, with Gaetz being the most well-known. Most of the party still went with the establishment.
Yes. This indicates the actual Establishment, which does not include the GOP other than as a Potemkin opposition, made the decision to take out McCarthy. I don’t know the reason, but speculate it may be to provide an off-ramp for the Ukraine insanity and grift.
That’s the way it is with anything, most people will go along to get along even when the “go along” is objectively not in their long term best interests.
That does make for interesting speculation. Maybe the establishment saw McC as damaged goods, so need to replace him with another goy who is more presentable. While the Dems were OK to get rid of him, doesn’t mean they would support a real replacement. And with only 12 (was it?) “Rebel” Rs, doesn’t look like much will change.
Also a very good example of the enemy (Dems) of my enemy (RINOs) is not my friend – but I may be able to work with them.
The republicans are kind of like the Palestinians — they’re damned if they do and equally damned if they don’t. If they upset the apple cart by replacing the speaker, there’s this big hue and cry from the establishment right like the WSJ and NY post, as well as the left, about how the move will be seen as extremist and damage what’s left of the republican brand. If they do nothing it’s business as usual. It’s tough to do much when every institution in the nation is against you.
Failure is funny that way. Sometimes there is no “winning” solution. You have two options, accede to your enemies and fail—or fight your enemies and fail. I believe the public (me anyway) is tired of failure to fight. I can accept loss if I see a good fight. Never have I believed more in the old adage: “Dem’s want change yesterday, Rep’s want it in two weeks.” 😉 What we are seeing here is a desperate attempt for the Rep’s to maintain their position of “Washington Generals” to the Dem’s position of “Harlem Globetrotters”. Hence the term we hear to… Read more »
“As the millennials are taking over, the Global American Empire is coming to an end.”
Throwing out a potential white pill, the end of the Cold War was a moment of tremendous optimism. 30 years later, it’s soured completely.
Maybe the end of GAE, looking like THE END, turns out OK. I realize that sounds incredible, but saying we were marching into dystopia, I imagine, was just as incredible back in the 90s.
Actual progress is a slow, slow grind and the last ten years pissed away whatever legit progress had been made in the previous forty.
The GAE is ending but that may be a good thing, to elaborate on your point. The economic horrors still will be horror. Post-Soviet Russia is a good illustration of what can happen.
I still believe and maintain that things get better in the end, but we’ll practically go through hell getting there. Hopefully we’re starting to hit bottom.
Optimistically, it’s a grind for a generation, but if I live a full life, I might get to see things get better. Hope springs eternal!
Any book recommendations for the post-collapse era of the USSR?
I have a LOT of problems with the politics of the book, but THE FUTURE IS HISTORY by Masha Gessen really is a brilliant look at Russia in the immediate aftermath of the Soviet Union. The novel is better than the histories along with the contemporaneous news accounts I have read. The story is seen through the eyes of ordinary people who are trying to survive day to day life in the rank gangsterism that erupted under Yeltsin. While not the author’s intent AT ALL, the novel explains why Russians hold Putin in such high regard and why they justifiably… Read more »

I live in a university town and rub shoulders with many of the professoriate and associated people. The consensus is that there is a sizeable but still minority of white men in the country that are causing all the problems.
The other problem with the university system is that they are all sitting on ungodly amounts of wealth while producing very little of value.
Other than tradespeople doubling their book rates and markups for those types, I have few ideas for removing that misallocated wealth.
Most of the professoriate Herb referenced is white, and the university itself is viewed by non-white leftists as “white.” You are not the only one looking at the wealth stored in the uni system, and when it comes time to strip mine and eat the seed corn, there are tribes lurking in the mist ready to liberate that racist lucre.
Yes. They are fools sitting on a foggy night in a forest patting themselves on the back for being so cool and edgy for a midnight glass of wine beneath the moon. They sit smack dab in a den shared by jackals, hyenas and rabid stray dogs.
That’s the funny part. Most of the white liberals believe that they have support and love of the non-whites and the non-whites will spare them from their wrath. They are in for a very unpleasant surprise. A liberal white friend of mine was defending a liberal white chick that we both know after I had harshly criticized her for her support of anti-white causes. The argument ended when I said, “there is no group that black women hate more than liberal white women.” He was speechless because he knew it was true but he was too much of a brainwashed… Read more »

One thing I think is sus af about the dissident right…
They loves to promote how the empire is ending, right after complying with the empire’s **global** enforcement to lockdown, mask up, and vaxx (to varying degrees of participation, but a majority of such, on the right, respectively).
At least that’s the unified narrative for this audience. How many here would support Thiel/Yarvin for our next aristocratic techno God-emperors?
Please, sir, can I have some more?
Sure, but note how the GAE’s current attempt to restart the health hysteria is not going all that well.
Tough to say what’s going on with the health hysteria. A good part of it came from Alex Jones, who’s clearly a poison-the-well type figure. I wouldn’t be surprised if half the viral freakout on the right from his show “leaking it” was astroturfed too.
They’re probably just flexing how they can do it all again when they want. Plus get the right upset over nothing happening so when it comes again they’re sapped of energy already. Common tactic in info control.
Vaccine casualties at about 3%,
or 1 in 800, depending on who/what’s the count.
Many people, me included, despaired when we saw how quickly the cowards among us fell into line over Covid. It wasn’t all downside, though. Many states flipped off the federal government, and some local jurisdictions even flipped off their state governments. That scared them, and it should have. I imagine the trial balloons for Covid, the Sequel got shot down pretty quickly. If there was a silver lining with Covid, the response increased the many schisms in society.
I don’t totally disagree but you’re delusional. “Free red states” is a counter narrative to keep you in-line as we march forward. Conservatives, including here, who believe in “free red states” are part of the problem.

“The thing not getting enough attention is the fact that the Democrats were willing to let him swing rather than cut a deal.”
A Republican Speaker who retained his Speakership on account of Democratic support would be seen as a fraud. Yeah, I know, McCarthy already was that, but he was only worth saving if he could help keep up the pretense. McCarthy was, to the end, willing to sell out, but the day came that he was no longer worth buying, which is the eventual fate of the GOP.
Wasn’t the rumor that Pelosi was going to back McCarthy if he let her keep her office? Seems petty, but also believable.
If they were even slightly clever they could have swung it though, let a dozen “purple” Dems peel off to support McCarthy in order to protect “Our Democracy™” from radical MAGA terrorists in the GOP, etc.

McCarthy did have the Speaker’s suite of offices. Pelosi had a hideaway office, not sure which floor in the Capitol, but as you know, those are unmarked (often have oddly-shaped wooden doors, leading one to believe it’s a janitor’s closet), and usually only the top 25 or so members of Congress have them. That’s where the real business used to be conducted when I was up on the Hill. That’s what they took away from her.
Frank Luntz is his roommate, by the way. And Renee Ellmers was the promising congresswoman from Virginia whom McCarthy had an affair with (before MTG) and when it started getting around back channels, she retired.
He likes blondes, so Frank’s red wig is safe.
The generational churn angle probably explain a lot of current politics. As a “boomer”, I have watched my contemporaries wreck much of what was good in the society we inherited.

GenXers were proto-millenials. They were all in in feminism and diversity. Hostile to the ( white) man like boomers.
About half right.
The partial (there aren’t many of us) boomer-to-X generational change in the management of America and its satrapies was the shift from “liberation” and NAMBLA to genocidal anti-whiteness and child eunuchry. Civil rights—conservatives can’t say “Jewish lawyers”—didn’t bring us “wokeness.” A generation of maladjusted psychos, many of them my friends and colleagues, did. The glaring clue is the official uniform: blue-haired, poorly tattooed, crookedly pierced, etc. That’s *our* yearbook.
Millennials are retarded children imitating our “innovations” with heightened emotion. They’re not merely post-philosophical, as we are. They have a strictly maintained *anti-capacity* for thought.
“My fellow GenXrs are always the bridesmaid never the bride. Meh, they can have it.”
Screw that. Speaking as a fellow Gen-X, we’re the only generation with the historic perspective to realize what went wrong, but tough enough to consider strong solutions. Sure, it’s probably a losing battle, but I still say we’re the best contender out there, generation-wise.
This is nothing against later generations. They’re getting royally screwed by the system, and many of them don’t even realize it because they’ve been awash in intense, anti-white, pro-deviant propaganda for all of their lives.
Maybe… but one of the strong solutions we’ve considered is raising rock hard kids. It took a lot of us years to see through the nonsense, plenty of kids now know the deal as early as they can talk.
This is the cadre and the future
Right?
Today I saw an article titled, “Why Millennials are Destined to be the Forgotten Generation”
They can’t even permit us (de)GenXrs to have that distinction.

“Say one thing and do another”. And in many cases, the exact opposite!! I confess I haven’t listened yet, but I got warm and fuzzy when that asshat got bounced. Will it mean anything? Who knows, but at least SOMEONE said NO! That’s a big reason why we are in the state we are in. Open border? NO Continuing resolutions? NO Hairy guys in dresses can us the girls room? NO Folks (and people) can steal at will? NO I’m glad he’s gone. As for Orange Man being speaker, while that would be “entertaining “, I don’t think it’s gonna… Read more »
BOM as SoH would be, [sorry B&B] the Greatest Show on Earth–evah!!!. The carny metaphor Z writes so much on, fully realized. The yin, the yang of all carny. The epitome of trash talking, freak-show-promising, Incitatus-in-charge, shitshow that is our democracy. Please God, make this happen, and give me a lifetime supply of popcorn.
“Say one thing and do another”.
Next step: “Say one thing, do nothing.”
Maybe in another 30 years we’ll move up to “say one thing, do one tenth of it.” TBF, doing one tenth of what Vivek’s saying would be a vast improvement.
