The ongoing saga over who is actually running the White House and who will be the opponent of Donald Trump in the fall is a good example of how the political class lacks second order thinking. When they bumped off Biden, they did not think about what comes next, so they are now stuck with Harris. It also reveals that these people have no institutional memory, so they repeat past errors. In the case of Harris, they seem to have learned nothing from the Obama experience.
Back during the great interregnum, when issues like race, affirmative action, and demographics could be discussed, it was obvious that the main failure of affirmative action programs was not that they did not result in more blacks in the targeted area, but that the blacks themselves often resented it. Everyone just assumed that these people got where they were through affirmative action, rather than merit, so those who thought they earned it hated the stigma that came with affirmative action.
It is an important and overlooked part of race politics. The white saviors who create and implement these race programs are not counting heads looking for the correct number of brown people. They are looking for salvation. That comes, they assume, when the black recipients of their programs are grateful to the people behind them. The “failure” of affirmative action was that it created black resentment, the exact opposite of what the white saviors were expecting.
That aside, there were second and third order effects that no one thought to consider, and they also contained an internal contradiction that could not be covered up with moral language. You cannot have a meritocratic, egalitarian society and at the same time have special rights for certain people based on dubious claims about the suffering of their ancestors. Good intentions and righteous indignation could not obscure this reality nor stop people from acting on it.
Not only do our betters not think past their first move, but they also never learn from their past errors, so affirmative action was rebranded. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, no matter how they frame it, is just another set of lectures about how whites must overlook merit in order to fill the ranks with nonwhites. The libraries full of books soaked in emotive language on this topic delight and confuse the promoters of DIE projects, but the fundamental facts remain. It is affirmative action.
This is why people like Christopher Rufo have found it so easy to anathematize the term DEI and use it as a club to beat the managerial class. The fact that this new branding easily converts to DIE made it even easier. When a company CEO proudly states that his company will replace whites with nonwhites in order to meet the goals of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, in the minds of white people, the “great replacement” move from abstraction to a direct threat.
In other words, the whole DEI program that evolved in response to the moral failure of affirmative action pleased the people behind it, but they never thought about how it would play outside the hothouse of the academy. They never pondered the contradiction between mandatory association and the internal logic of a society that strives to be an egalitarian meritocracy. All they could see was the wonderfulness of their first trick and the assumed ends that must come after it.
This is all coming together with the Kamala Harris campaign. Apparently, not one remembers her 2020 primary run. No one remembers why they carefully groomed and insulated Barak Obama. Instead, they just bumped off Biden and assumed all their dreams would fall into place. Instead, they have the face of DEI as the default option for the Democratic nomination. Kamala Harris is the embodiment of everything the critics of DEI have been saying for a decade.
This is why her polling is terrible, worse than Biden’s, and why she may have to be replaced before the convention. White people see in Kamala Harris the face behind those dreadful diversity seminars at the office. Black people see the patronizing white women behind those same programs. For both races, Harris is what middle-aged cat ladies imagine is the ideal black woman. It is not that she is inauthentic, which is certainly true, but that she is genuinely offensive.
Of course, the people who created this mess are now tasked with finding a remedy to it, which means more obtuse shortsightedness. Reportedly the Obama faction is unhappy with Harris, a member of the Clinton faction, so they are floating the idea of Senator Mark Kelly as her running mate. The problem there is it underscores the fact that Harris is a DEI candidate. Fitting her with a competent white man not only highlights her ineptitude, but confirms what critics say about DEI.
This is why there is a good chance that this scheme falls apart entirely and the Democrats are left with a chaotic scramble at their convention. The thing they hoped to avoid would be made possible by their thumbless attempts to engineer a result that prevents an open convention. They keep stepping on these rakes, because they never think past the first move, and they learn nothing from past errors. The Democrats are now a collection of high time preference amnesiacs.
All of this brings up a larger issue, one that will not go away when this present fiasco has gone down the memory hole. Popular government can only work in an orderly society, and you get an orderly society when the people who make up that society agree that following the rules is of paramount importance. This is not possible in a diverse society, which must devolve into tribal factionalism. This is why the Framers warned about the threat of factionalism to the republic.
The ongoing demographic collapse of America, and the West in general, means the underlying requirement of Western style government is collapsing. The chaotic, big man government we see evolving with the Democrats is simply a product of the people who make up that party’s coalition. In time, this will be the reality of American society, if the demographic trends continue. The real choice behind these election dramas is between order and diversity. You cannot have both.

Harris is the arrival of what the country will become as the Boomer finally bow out of running the system and, especially, as they go to that great disco in the sky. There’s a reason that the people in charge have been so reluctant to push out the older Dems such as Schumer, Pelosi, Biden, etc. What comes next is incompetence and open tribalism. Harris, AOC, Whitmer, Newsom, etc., are certainly pliable but are incapable of even pretending to be in charge or, worse, sometimes believe that they really are in charge. They also can’t hide their hatred for Badwhites… Read more »
We still have a good 10-20 years of Boomer rule left. The youngest Boomers are 59. Many of these people hang on in office well into their 70s.
I’d guess 2028 is the last election where Boomers matter…Remember, Boomers were avid consumers, and victims, of the deathvax…
2030 is peak death rate for the generation and also the beginning of the end of social security.
The Boomers don’t care if Social Security goes bankrupt so long as the program stays solvent until the last of their generation shuffles off this mortal coil.
Glad I didn’t pay in much
Kamala herself is technically a boomer, though I think the definition extending to those born through 1964 is a bit of a stretch.
While it would be silly to argue those born in 45 would have roughly similar upbringing than those born in 64, they are technically Boomers. OTOH, there is a difference between those born in the early 60s and those born in the late 60s. A young person coming of age in the 70s had a different experience than those coming of age in 80s. It wasn’t just fashion and hair, it was the whole outlook. They were also likely to have different generation parents (greatest vs silent). Plus, you have to put the line somewhere and 20 years is perfect… Read more »
Then why doesn’t Gen X get a full 20 years? Nowhere I’ve seen puts the end of Gen X at 1984. The usual cutoff is 1980.
A better theory breaks up generations into about decades long cohorts, based on the rapid changes in culture. The last half of the Boomers is the Jones generation. Gen X would get spilt into X and Y, etc.
They only started that nonsense around the turn of the century. Gen-X is 65-84 and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. It’s so dumb. All the other generations are 20 years going back to the 19th century. From what I can tell, this was largely driven by the media who wanted to make a big deal of the turning over of the millennium. Frankly, I never bought into it in any real sense other than numbers. It’s like the horoscope, only more ridiculous and stupid. People around the same age have the same experiences because they were growing up in… Read more »
The next generation should be called Generation Omega — The Last Generation.
But that isn’t done with x. X is 65-80 for some reason
Correct. Name me one archetypical Boomer experience – from The Brit Invasion to the Summer of Love, to Vietnam and the Draft, to the Assassinations, to the Moon Landing, to the Civil Rights era, to Woodstock, that someone born in 1964 has any personal, post-pubescent experience of, let alone participation in.
i remember smoking a lot of weed after dark in the park, out of an empty coke can with a couple of long hairs drinking boones farm. yeah, that’s it. the post pubescent experience of lots of drugs and lots of drugs to choose from. fortunately my drug use experience started and ended at 8 years old or 1972.
Naming generations is such a white thing. To every other tribe, you’re young, old or somewhere in between.
No, it’s not a white thing. The Chinese have noted generations. I’m sure observant Asian cultures have. Japan complains about it’s own “lotus eater” generation, aka the generation after it’s own Baby Boomer generation. Nations with advanced civilization will notice generations. Africans may not, although the ones living in the US will have been spilt into generations too. Baby boom black Americans will have had a much easier go at getting steady work if they wanted it, etc. Complaining about the existence of generations may however be a white thing. It makes for a messy set observations, because it notes… Read more »
These “youngest Boomers” are not really Boomers. Not culturally, at least.
What comes next is Brazil, if we’re lucky…
Yes, some type of Brazil de Norte is coming, except Whites aren’t attacked as villains in South America.
I used to spend a lot of time in Brazil back in the late 1990s. I remember being at a trendy bar and thinking, “this could easily be a trendy bar in America”. In fact the demographics were probably whiter than a similar bar in California at the time. I wonder now if we’re not on our way to “worse than Brazil”.
The south of Brazil is a lot whiter, gets blacker as you go north/north-east (Bahia is the “Black Rome”). São Paulo is more brown + Italian & Japanese, Rio is definitely black.
I would say South Africa is what our future will be if we don’t get our act together…
Not sure that South Africa is the model, our blex are being pushed out by jumpers of the southern border. Muslims are reproducing fast and have taken over some cities–Dearborn MI and parts of Minnesota, for example. Politicians are sucking up to Muslims as hard as they are to the blex. Note the tolerance of the pro-Palestinian riots. South Asians are becoming politically and economically prominent, Vivek and half of Kamala come to mind.
We’re more likely to end up like the Balkans
The country or the Terry Gilliam movie?
My brother lives in brasil in mid 90s and I visited him in Salvador a big city in the north where it’s really, ahem, dark.
the police went on strike and the hotel panicked and locked everything up with these steel gates.
i remember think ing how lucky was to live in America
White dude had to get wimpy to suppress tribalism in whites. Pushed to the margins if he didn’t.
If whites have to get on the tribalism bus, I’d guess white dude stops being wimpy. Hard to believe, but we wouldn’t have made it this far if we’re naturally self-hating and suicidal.
It’s really sad that we just put up with it…That old saying about good times making weak men really holds true throughout the ages…
I don’t see a way for Harris to not get the nomination. The media full-court press for Kamala-mania has been impressive so far, and it seems the Obamas are the only holdouts right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama thought shilling Biden in 2020 was so humiliating he vowed never to do it again. They’re going for the quirky, fun wine-aunt label and throwing away everything she voted for and supported in the past, hoping to recreate the blank-slate candidate they successfully create with Obama. It’s going to be a hit with single women while men stand in the… Read more »
I can see it where she can lose the nomination in Chicago. But it would require some old-time “Bossing” in the background (Think smoke filled rooms and Old Time Political Bosses). If prior to the first vote a block of multiple states with enough electors meet and say “You know, we have enough electors that we can control this. We don’t want Harris. On the first ballot, throw the votes to X” (X being Gov. Hairgel, Gov. Fatso, etc.) AND they throw the votes to X, and Kamalalaladingdong doesn’t get a majority, the convention is open/brokered. (Of course, Candidate X… Read more »
Yes, it can be done…look at how Wendell Wilkie (a Democrat) got the Republican nomination in 1940…
Kamalamadingdong… Love it.
The virtual nomination the Democrats use is the week of 8/5. By the time they get to Chicago, the nomination will have been sown up for 2 weeks. If any of the Dems want to try and push an alternative, they’ve got next week to do it. Hence the idea of Biden endorsing Harris. It makes it much more difficult. Democrats are looking at a scenario where they would have no nominee at all going into, or out of, Chicago. And the entire convention would have been a disaster. Quite possibly with fights and violence breaking out. So, they went… Read more »
While the Kamala turd-polishing is impressive, it’s all astro-turfed, a field destined to break back down into thorny weeds the instant someone misses putting down a coverage square.
This all gets to something Z pointed out in that (paraphrasing) it’s less a conspiracy than their unshakable belief in themselves that they can take advantage of any situation as it presents itself. At this point such a belief would require ignoring a lot of recent history, but introspection was never one of their strengths.
What I find impressive in all this, is the Democrat Party brazenly shitting on its own voters and calling it manna from heaven. At least we understand that they hate us and want us dead; their rank and file supporters, however, are despised, yet seem to love it. Fetterman? YES!! Biden? YES!! Not Biden but Harris? YES!!
It all has the vibe of an s & m dungeon.
Chet, the same full-court press deployed to make Harris a “star” and the anointed Dem nominee can just as easily be turned around to make an alibi for her withdrawal—and then to glamorize whoever the powers and principalities decide to bankroll instead. Look how in a matter of days they went from “Biden must go!” to “Biden we hardly knew ye!” Seems like half the country is eager to go obediently along, oblivious to the people and positions they were cheering on yesterday. My guess is that Harris’ husband will be discovered to be embroiled in some financial chicanery (of… Read more »
A lot of the backlash against Biden was that he embarrassed them by actually being a senile old coot and proving their enemies right. It would take a disaster like the debate times five to embarrass them enough to want her out.
If they truly wanted her to be president, she would be it already.
Quite possible. Also, there is a chance “Biden” has some blackmail material–or threatened prosecutions, because why not?.
Biden has about blackmail on the Obamas (gay), the Clintons (grifters and murderers) and Harris (retarded and a whore). He may go scorched earth.
As much as I’d like to see all the people you mentioned destroyed by some juicy revelations, I think Biden would have already done something by now if he had the dirt on them.
These NPC updates really put the lie to the notion that we can’t write good software anymore
Taking a peek at Memeorandum the last couple of days, and it deffo looks like they are astroturfing for Kamala. Kamala is offensive to our people, but to the other 50% who are left-leaning or don’t care, Kamala is alive and quirky. I think the Dems will rally around their childless harridan and portray Trump as serious and maniacal and Kamala as breezy and “young”. I just hope the e-right doesn’t start banging on about her past. It’s not going to dissuade most white, black, and Hispanic women. Most of them are sex-positive body-flaunters if not degenerate. Please, please don’t… Read more »

Oh, you’re damn straight they’re going to regret the 19th Amendment. If you want a preview of how bad it’s going to get, watch this idiot woman beg Harris to be our national “Mommala” and “protect us”:

Momala for our nation is fitting given her age all those eggs would come out ‘tarded just like most of this country now.
Yes, the single women will be suckered in. The married/conservative not so much, but then they were always just doubling their husband’s vote anyway.
That said, by reports I get, Harris offends and is unpopular with the donor class, too. That matters. They are ones that are in charge the media narrative.
COVID was a 2 yr national crisis, until it mysterious disappeared from the headlines. The donor class is not going to be impressed with the headlines they create. At best, this maybe a trial balloon.
They’re going to blow their wad trying to help create faux Kamala-mania. It’s this shock-and-awe media approach that ALWAYS dies once people get a look at what is going on. They did this with Ukraine, really all the wars in the Middle East, and it rarely works. You get a few weeks these days, and then people catch onto the scam. Once she starts talking and meeting with people – just like Ron DeSantis, btw – all that money they spent on trying to generate enthusiasm is going to implode.

Actually going on since before the Civil War. The Great Replacement began with the Irish and Germans. It was already in full swing by the time Lincoln came around to butcher 1/5 of America’s sons.
Trust me, they hate you as much as they hate the white trash you sneer at. Forget this at your peril.
Oh, I don’t doubt that. And I’m not so much sneering at the white trash as I am describing the thinking of the elites. Fat white proles may be déclassé and unsophisticated but they do not burn cities, loot stores, carjack you or randomly stab you to death — just because.
It’s possible to be lower class and still be decent…
The other thing that appointing a competent white man does, is it shows to all White men that they are now subordinate. You can get close to the top. The deal is you do the real work, and the non-White gets the glory and the credit. A feature of Occidental man is his sense of duty in harmony with his desire for personal glory. This is a tension that may cause the White man to walk away from this bargain. His face is now rubbed in it. If He has any dignity left, He walks no matter which party he… Read more »
Very good. Kamala Harris is practically bioengineered as an anti-DJT candidate. This will be the first campaign with anti-whiteness as its main axis of attack, with a VP to rally goodwhites to the cause – a Jew or a good old boy. Poor Donald is probably actually a CivNat, and all his rappers, bald porn stars, and ex-inmates will rally to the “first woman of color” as she shouts the quiet part out loud. JD was a great choice to debate and expose VP candidate Harris. Now, he will have to debate an older white man with executive experience, so… Read more »
Win or lose the election, this is the transition period, because no matter what we continue to lose. In the case of a loss, explicit advocacy has to begin. The Biden-Fronted tempest is going to quadruple in intensity as the Harris-Fronted deluge. In the case of a win, pandering and proxying will continue to be a losing strategy.
Backed into a corner we are on the cusp of proxies and implicit vaguery giving way to direct representation and explicit statements. If not, leaderless, Americans will capitulate and all will be lost.
And yet really–and this is a hard thing to get through our heads–the prez doesn’t matter much anymore. DJT would be defanged and Kamaltoe won’t be allowed to make any decision more important than whether a recipe for chicken vindaloo or chicken and waffles goes on the Senate canteen menu.
Thanks Brother for using the correct term DIE… Looking through the comments I just don’t get why our side can’t even keep the language right…
We unite and reject it, not with euphemism and through proxies, but explicitly from our own mouths and with direct and explicit disavows…
How can we unite and reject it if a lot of our side can’t even keep from using their language…
If helping our people use the correct language then politely and respectfully help one person at a time to use the proper language.
We must not be powerless and give in to despair. We don’t face the immediate danger the Winged Hussars did. We can do this.
Be creative if I may suggest. Start up a YouTube/Rumble/Odysee channel and/or blog dedicated to pointing out the premise-validating vs. the truth-revealing language.
That will be of tremendous use. God speed brother.
This craze about DEI is another example of Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Maybe it’s one characteristic of empires on their way down. I see Boeing planes falling out of the sky, I see anti-virus programs that don’t work, and I see people with liberal arts degrees obsessed about DEI. Meanwhile, when I go abroad, I see German, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese goods for sale but nothing American. The USA wasn’t like this a century back.
And the countries you just named, Ashad Ali, are ones that the US has helped get back on their feet economically, now leaving us in the dust!
And nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of jibberish, and muthafuckas act like they forgot about US economic assistance
Yeah but the GAE is an empire and tells them what to do.
Chalmers Johnson’s Empire of Debt as finale to his great trilogy says it all. He wrote those way back before he died. He was a classic great American. We are going to have to step into the breach. A polite warning was dismissed. Now harder men with harder tasks will be stepping up. White men let’s do the needful.
“Do the needful.” That reminds me of another DEI story. Insider at a US corporation (and before you ask, the board are all or almost all White men, good ole boys, not (Fellow Whites)) tells me all about their constant pushing for “more diversity”…what it is really is cover for them to shift jobs to India and avoid criticism about it. The boys at the top aren’t making way. They’re just getting rid of competent (and pricier) White men further down and replacing them with dirt-cheap Indians, of whom there is to all intents and purposes an endless supply. Sure,… Read more »

That’s because they dare not really think of themselves as part of the white tribe. That may be the ultimate criminal thought
My first, and still favorite, Zman quip: “It’s always Day One with these people.”
“The “failure” of affirmative action was that it created black resentment, the exact opposite of what the white saviors were expecting.”
Absolutely nothing we do ever does anything but increase the hostility from this group. They cannot be appeased and I wish we would just stop trying.
Zman, I have to disagree that blacks resent affirmative action. Sure, there might be a high IQ doctor here or there that resents it, but 99% of blacks think they deserve it because the white man keeps trying to hold them down.
This is a new thing. Back in the old days, they tended to resent it. Decades of unconditional praise has made them into the entitled ingrates we see today. That said, most blacks back in the day did not think about it that much. It was the competent blacks who resented it.
There seems to be a high correlation between those who resent AA and those who skew conservative politically. I know Clarence Thomas has voiced this, and I’ve heard Ben Carson mention it in a graduation speech long before he was involved in politics.
They may not resent the AA-jobs, but I doubt they resent white people any less.
Nothing breeds resentment like charity.
One might add “envy”. Seen a lot of this with women. One who is outstanding, say a 9-10, gets a lot of shit-talk from the sisters—behind her back.
Not even behind her back if she has authority over you. I have dated some straight up dimes and most of my girlfriends have been far above average because I’m a “Chad-lite” on the SMV scale. One thing I can tell you from direct first hand conversations with these women is the WORST thing to be is an attractive young female working for a middle aged corporate corpulent American wahmen who is married to her job. She WILL make your life a living hell. I can recall at least half a dozen ex’s regaling me with stories of just dealing… Read more »

Google’s all-hands war against ad blocking occasionally makes some temporary gains against the tiny percentage of us who resist, so this week a few frames of a few ads have flashed before me.

This is why her polling is terrible, worse than Biden’s, and why she may have to be replaced before the convention. The “virtual nomination” prior to the convention is a desperate attempt to lock Kamala Harris into place. There must be a mad scramble below the surface already to replace wannabe President Whore with a more palatable puppet. Reportedly the Obama faction is unhappy with Harris, a member of the Clinton faction, so they are floating the idea of Senator Mark Kelly as her running mate. Reports are Obama wants her outright replaced. This would indicate he has yet to… Read more »
Obamas Brown Shirts (BLM) have called for a snap primary before the Convention. Funny you haven’t heard from them since 2020.
Great point. We do have Militias of Color now.
Does that make ANTIFA the Clinton brown shirts?
The ones I know, old heads who haven’t punched anybody this century, are all I’m With Her maniacs, yes. But it’s a purely partisan organization, so they’re “with” whoever’s in charge of it at the moment.
Hopefully, the upcoming Democratic national convention in Chicago is a reprise of Night of the Long Knives.
According to the media, she’s beating Trump in the poles. Suddenly, she has all the support from Pedo-Wood celebrities and the media is fawning over her. When she’s successfully installed the reason will be that the voter base was excited to elect the first female, black president. Imagine a country so rayciss that it had not one, but 2 people of colors as president!
There are huge numbers of people who would not vote for Trump under any circumstances. He has been fortunate in that his opponents have been loathed also. That was not enough for him to win in 2020 and may not be enough in 2024 if the Dems can ditch Harris and come up with a presentable candidate (admittedly, their bench is thin).
Wish-casting. I wouldn’t count out their ability to get her to within the margin of fortification, but this is someone who basically came in last in the 2020 primaries given how much money she had going into it. It’d be like the GOP deciding that Carly Fiorina was going to be their candidate.
Margin of fortification
Nice. Very nice.

There are now more “diverse” (read non-White) citizens of young age than there are of heritage stock.

Stopped reading after your first sentence regarding the Census Bureau. Apparently, you have been living under a rock for the past 14 years. It has been thoroughly and completely politicized and weaponized since 2010.
You normally post thoughtful, informed remarks. Not sure how you could miss the mark so widely on this one.
Prior to the 2020 Democrat primary campaign, hopes were high for Kamala, who seemed to check the DEI boxes. Woman and brown, but not too brown. She comes across as kind of vague exactly what ethnicity she is, a model for their Browning of America project. Then came the primaries and Kamala was a disaster among the huge number of candidates, coming across as unlikeable and stupid. Later on, it was shocking that she was picked as VP in light of her poor performance, but then maybe not, because the Dems had to balance their “old White man” president problem… Read more »
A way to have your cake and eat it too. Get FJB to resign making DIE Harris President. Her chance to wear the crown for a while. Then replace her at the convention.
Kackles is literally the perfect Current Year embodiment of the outcome of the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan.
If you read the WSJ, it appears that Harris is on a roll to a 50 state landslide. The battlespace is being prepped for the mother of all steals. Karl Rove has declared her invincible, so has Colman Jenkins. The managerial drones like Christopher Wray (soft, squishy, effeminate) work in a nearly 100% female environment. For them, the media is their oxygen. Women cannot exist without the constant affirmation, direction, and control of the media. Being an icky, feminie/gay space — men of all races have discarded the media. The top managers (Wray, Larry Fink of Blackrock, Gina Haspell of… Read more »
It will be difficult for the media to maintain the honeymoon for 3.5 months. It will be impossible for Kamala herself to do so. Which doesn’t mean the steal won’t happen, I’d lay odds that it will. Even in the unlikely events that Trump both lives to November and wins, he has become just another Republican, a mere pause button on the “left’s” advance rather than a rollback of it. If he can even be said to be a pause. Not much of the “left’s” advance was paused in his first term. He doesn’t talk like other Republicans, but where… Read more »
“The failure of affirmative action was that it created black resentment, the exact opposite of what the White saviors were expecting.” And this is one of the overarching problems with blacks – you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Most clear thinking Whites understand that the majority of blacks in positions of influence and authority, in particular, are there largely due to AA. I would also argue most of those blacks don’t realize it – some probably do, but the rest are so full of themselves and lacking in self introspection they’ll refuse to admit it. As… Read more »
We speak of “midwits” a lot in this group—someone of average or slightly above-average intelligence who is perceived to overestimate their intellectual abilities. These folk very often turning up in subpar academic disciplines. I suspect there is room for another classification of people, “dimwits”—someone of *below* average intelligence who overestimates their intellectual or creative abilities. These folk lack deep and nuanced understanding of any particular position/field they may be in and most cases would not be in such position without AA or DEI. Perhaps a distinction without a difference, but how else do we describe such people? They surely are not… Read more »

Or maybe they want Trump to be elected and Kamala to be the fall guy. Trump the civnatter is no threat to them. He’s pro Israel and a great fall guy if they want to foist another covid, tech attack, or WwIII.
This is the extreme opposite of the theory that everything that is happening around us is perfectly organized, step-by-step, by a small cabal. I don’t buy it.
Yeah the dems are so fond of doubling down (and getting away with it) I wouldn’t be shocked if someone like the stunning and brave Fani Willis is selected as their veep candidate.
Fred Beans – I was thinking Stacey Abrams (in case you forgot about her – the slab of black humanity who still says she won the last GA guv election). However, Fani Willis works equally well.
A small cabal of blithering idiots, and a decadent people who subject themselves to them. Weak men letting the hens rule the roost, frankly.
Exactly Right Brother…
If the white men of the country are so weak, passive and mindbroken that they never punish the Dems for their errors, then the Dems can just keep making error after error with no pushback.
Ding ding ding winner winner chicken dinner…
Titus Livius: We can endure neither our vices nor the remedies for them
The way the regime and their media toadies have been promoting the idea of Kamala reminds me of a hurry-up, no-huddle spread offense in college football racing to the ball so they can get off a play before the defense gets set. They’re flooding the zone with their mind rot, hoping voters don’t notice that she has a 100 IQ, couldn’t even make it to Iowa before her campaign flamed out and has the charm and instincts of a concrete bollard. I’m glad I pay no attention to mainstream news sources. This constant turmoil would be unsettling in the least.… Read more »
“Charm and instincts of a concrete bollard” – I’m stealing this one.
Harris is really getting strong astroturfed support. They laundered her a lot of money through ActBlue and I think they are out of time to replace her before the convention even if they wanted to. Her personality is off putting to normal people and she is obviously dumb, but the anti-Trump vote floor was around 45% before fraud. He still needs to do a lot right to win.
Ain’t gonna happen. Fix is in and I believe somehow they have access to the machines. No way an incumbent party sitting on as big a turd as the Dems in 2022 (inflation, Afghanistan, Ukraine…) doesn’t get walloped at the urns. But they didn’t. This leads me to believe there’s some kind of back door into the voting machines.
How many illegal aliens did the Biden admin import in their first two years? How many ballots did that generate? I’m not saying it’s not the machines, but it doesn’t have to be
Right. The demographic transformation is far more effective than trying to hack voting machines. Many of these people are both donating to ActBlue and voting without ever knowing they have done either act.
The GOP threw the 2022 elections.
“The real choice behind these election dramas is between order and diversity. You cannot have both…”
…which bodes well for the eventual return of race realities…
The lack of even second level thinking: Girlboss [black, as if], in cost-cutting move, peremptorily orders storetoom to only carry 4.5 gallon buckets instead of the normal 5 gal. Of course, since many of our tests are based on the 5 gallon volume, we now must use two buckets in place of one.
Extrapolate to something much more complex and, dare I say, ‘existential,’ and it’s no wonder we are where we are.
Even a white(r) administrator is not immune to idiotic ideas. Those who worked for the Federal government in the early 1970s may recall the head scratching move to economize by converting 8 x1/2 by 11 paper to 8 by 10. Just imagine the adjustments that had to be made in all types of office machinery. Needless to say the idea was quickly abandoned for the mistake that it was. As a result preteens such as myself enjoyed a multi-year supply of scrap paper brought home by Mom.
LOL, scrap paper. We are dating ourselves.
Latter half of the seventies, about fifth grade, when the other kids were getting their TI-n red diode fancy calculators, my dad gave me two slide rules to use instead. Almost nobody under age 40 today has heard the term “slide rule” applied. Although they know there were these genius black ladies who were abused as “calculators” and without their noble sacrifices space travel would be a mere pipe dream. Pretty sure Von Braun could zing a slide rule. Nostalgia.
I suppose there could be a benefit to having Kamala as the presumed nominee, only to switch at the last minute at the DNC. By constantly changing the target, Trump’s team keeps having to shift focus, and this might put them off balance. The Dems are the party of chaos, after all.
Although, another more probable explanation is that they are a drowning man thrashing about in the water in panic, unable to think about the next minute much less November.
The fact that this new branding easily converts to DIE made it even easier.
It was DIE to begin with and then they saw the acronym and changed it and all the right just let them do it…No wonder why our side always loses when we let them control the language…
Everyone really does believe the DEI stuff, even people in various analytics roles who – one imagines – are paid to notice things. Was talking with one modeler about default risk a year ago. He insisted that data showing blacks default at higher rates, even controlling for everything else modelers can observe, simply show the data are themselves biased in some way that is due to institutional historic prejudice. But that’s the logic: I have a headache, so I take an aspirin. It doesn’t work, so I take more and more, eventually taking a truckload of aspirin. But a brain… Read more »
Last I read, the Dems were still planning a virtual nomination the first week of August. Hilariously, when that Biden letter was transmitted by the borg, a bunch of state delegations immediately threw their support to Harris. Nevermind that nobody in their states voted for her to be the nominee. They downloaded their firmware update and announced their support. I had been saying for weeks that Biden only had to get to early August. The bruises on his face in that hostage video he made indicate some sort of fall or blood clot. They were not planning to quit. Their… Read more »
Zman, this then leads to the question, “how well will tribal whites compete in the new circumstances?”.
Look at South Africa to find out. Or South America (two-tier societies with Whites generally at the top).
Cream–a white substance dontchaknow–always rises to the top. Alas, today’s cream is rather curdled and blinky stuff, so no telling which way the ball bounces.
Sorry folks, I have a real hard time believing that Hillary, while she yet lives and breathes, is just going to sit back and let Kamala friggin Harris, of all people, become the first woman president. Does not compute. Not buying it. Reference Apex Predator’s reply to Compsci elswhere in this comment section. H providing one of the very first endorsements for K makes it all the more suspicious.
Pliability rather than competence can be seen as an asset in today’s politics. Ms. Harris scores highly in this respect. I suspect the benefit of this feature has now dawned on Mr. Obama who can see the possibility him being able run the show behind the scenes for the next eight years while at the same time shutting down the Clinton wing of the party. Meanwhile Mr. Trump will continue preaching to the choir while blithely making blunders like inviting the Israeli leader to his home. Such episodes burnish his standing with the Lindsey Graham coterie (which would support him… Read more »
Lets get real. Dearborn will never support Trump because he’s White. Simple as that. The Hamas-istan people rioting and burning American flags while cursing America should disabuse you of any utility of appealing to Hamasistan. Yes they hate your enemies. They hate you MORE. The riots, beating of cops, defacing of monuments was a clear signal that the Soros Wing rules all, and that we have a two tier system of justice and law enforcement, with Hamas not only being above the law but being the law. Yes that makes people like Bill Ackman temporary allies as they can see… Read more »
In my quest to get real, I have noticed that there are now a lot of “Islamic Centers” throughout America, many members of which are vote enabled. While the folks in Dearborn probably won’t vote for Mr. Trump, they can certainly influence friends and relatives elsewhere, each of which has as many votes as Mr. Whiskey. Platonic friends are better than bitter enemies.
In today’s essay Zman twice combines the terms meritocracy and egalitarian as if they were compatible. They are not; those two are completely antithetical. Perhaps I am confused by the distinction between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. Nevertheless it remains a fact that men are not equal nor shall they ever become so.
Not really. In a society of equals in which merit is the sole criteria, then effort and desire are responsible for 100% of the differences, according to people who subscribe to such things. Now, I would agree that you cannot have equality and merit, but that is what our ruler think, so I used their version for this purpose.
You cannot have a meritocratic, egalitarian society and at the same time have special rights for certain people based on dubious claims about the suffering of their ancestors here is a quote from a question in a logic book I’m studying: Racial segregation in schools generates severe feelings of inferiority among black students. Whatever generates such feelings treats students unfairly on the basis of race. Anything that treats students unfairly on the basis of race violates the 14th amendment. Whatever violates the 14the amendment is unconstitutional. This racial segregation in schools is unconstitutional. now right after the question it says… Read more »
No matter what happens this election cycle. If it happens to goTrumps way it will buy some time, just not a lot of it The White race will prevail, it is what we do.There is no fat revolutionary joe normie will feel more & more pain before he begins to hate, no law will hold him back when that pot boils over & it will, millions will pay the price.
Trump is like a Timex watch-“it takes a licking and keeps on ticking”.
Second order thinking…such luxuries. Give me evidence of any kind of thinking beyond panicked scrambling
If Kamala was smart – which she manifestly is not – she would initiate the 25th against Biden, and become the incumbent. Be president for a couple of months, then ride the resulting celebrity until she expires.
The 25th isn’t necessarily a quick or easy process. If the president refuses to go, requires a 2/3 congressional majority, in addition to a majority of the cabinet.
Perhaps the question is why Joe refuses to go? Why is he hanging on? I think that’s one big clue that this present Kamala fest is just a trial run, and if she doesn’t perform/poll well enough in the next 3 weeks then she’ll get the hook.
Ah, but what equals a “trial run”? She seems to have taken to the airwaves with her assigned talking points. She speaks well from the teleprompter. Do they need more than that? After all, they’ve handled our present brain dead president for the majority of his term—and he doesn’t know what day it is.
If Harris is replaced prior to or at the Democratic convention, then America will have entered its own version of the Crisis of the Third Century. During that tumultuous period, numerous usurpers were acclaimed emperor then deposed in short order.
I think the reason is that going into last weekend he had no intention of dropping out. Look at the bruises on his face in the hostage video last night. He either fell or had some sort of scary health episode. There was worry he would not survive the week(end). So a letter was drafted up and posted on Twitter. They were in such a panic (there’s a lot of campaign money at stake) they forgot to endorse Harris. A second tweet was hurriedly sent. Biden regains consciousness and they decide to try and stick it out as President. Biden… Read more »
“If Kamala was smart – which she manifestly is not – she would initiate the 25th against Biden…”
I imagine her people have already checked Scalia’s pillow out of the National Archives. They’re just working out the optimal timing of the 30 days of national mourning vis-a-vis Election Day.
She has to get a majority of the Cabinet to agree to remove him. Look at the people in the Cabinet, then look at their Early Life sections. Biden is their stooge who does whatever they say. They will not vote to replace him with an unknown, especially with Kamala, who has openly expressed support for the Palestinians.
Well clearly Kamala is the perfect candidate for Trump..a cackling nitwit with no base.Kamala just said that America should seek an alliance with North Korea….The Big Donors have to decide whether to just go with Trump or at least accept him, or to lay down an ultimatum to the party bigwigs to get her out…The Trump forces may be talking with them now, cooking up some kind of deal….
People would criticize Ted Kennedy as the Boogeyman for the left. But does anyone here think Ted Kennedy was an actual authentic politician compared to Harris?
So much energy and money has been heading Kamala’s way and rumor has it that the mulatto Barry Soetoro will be endorsing the quadroon soon. There’s no way she’s going to be replaced at this stage of the game.
BL-
Your prediction just came true.
I guess they really do want the United States of Zimbabwe.
Jump into the fire. Turn into the storm.

I live in the South, and had a black female doctor friend. She got where she was through merit, but told me blacks didn’t want to see her because they figured she was affirmative action, and substandard, older whites didn’t want to see her because of racial animosity, only younger whites would see her.
Let me tell you all what’s going to happen. Someone will go to court arguing that she is not a “natural born citizen” and will be ruled ineligible. You are watching a movie.
