Reason, experience, and common sense all conspire to motivate us all so that we nominate, vote for, and secure the presidency for J.Ross. Then the people will rejoice at the installation of just governor and his governance, and idiots like John Johnson and Tiny Duck (possibly they are the same) will wail and gnash their teeth.
J.Ross for president. Sailer can hold his coat.

You NSA shills are tedious and annoying.

But for people who are swing voters some of this stuff is hard to swallow.
You mean it is hard for you to swallow. You prefer a candidate owned by the elites and because Trump isn’t, you can’t support him.
You cannot really believe having a non-Trump Republican candidate will reduce Democrat voter fraud. And none of them generate the enthusiasm that Trump does. Trump has the best chance for success; if it were not so, we would not be seeing the third-world clown show the Democrats have rolled out.

The first time I read that I laughed for at least two minutes straight, and chuckled about it for the rest of the day.
Yeah, no. I hope that fascist monster piece of shit gets a hot iron rod as an eternal butt plug in hell. Unfortunately, as an atheist, I will have to make do with him only being deleted from existence for all Eternaity.
Nice to have you describe what you will experience in the afterlife. At least at the beginning, and then you will swim in the lake, and you will long for the days when you only had a hot iron as your butt plug.

If race does not exist, why was Nkechi Amare Diallo (born Rachel Anne Dolezal to so-called “white” parents) ostracized for transitioning from the “white” to the “black” race?
If you read, e.g., Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, you recognize that the Sailer definition of race as an extended family, writ large, qualifies as how the government uses race.
When the government stops using race as a cudgel to hammer the descendants of European settlers into sheep, we will see the definition of race be used to help people instead of harming them.
Of course, that will not happen under the current regime. But change is one of the few certainties we can depend on. Reality will not succumb to political correctness.
Kudos. I remember your posts. Good call on the men involved and the scale of it. Who ordered it and/or gave the green light?

Slavery was the law of the land before the Civil War and championed by Democrats. Are you an advocate of slavery, Corvinus?
With the widespread voter fraud, as evidenced in the most recent cycle by New Jersey and Connecticut, are you sure the voters of Ohio spoke? Or was it just another ballot-stuffing incident? Not that you, Corvinus, would care. After all, your paymaster has ensured your enjoyment of a satisficing sinecure.

which looks much better than the way a huckster would have constructed it. Who is (was) the huckster? Did the Catholic Church rebuild it?
I love the Catholic Church’s understanding of visuals. So the vile and disgusting architecture of the Los Angeles Cathedral surprises me.
Architectural modernism is brutalism ruthlessly visited upon the innocent, sadism realized in concrete and brick, and the profane elevation of physical hubris to distort the present and the future.
Modernist architects will reside in the deepest circle of Hell, treachery, where Satan resides.
But you can hunt smaller game. A woman is bigger than a rabbit.
Have you ever hunted? You do not wait around until the prey wanders under your greater mass and you fall on it. Suppose you need an antelope to feed your brood, you do not say, “Here, here little pronghorn victim, come close and my feminine wiles will seduce you to your death as I fall upon you and then you will be rendered non compos mentis.” No, you kill the pronghorn with whatever instrument of death you have at hand.
The woman does not trouble herself with the antelope harvesting. She cooks up the meat and nourishes her offspring.
Modernity makes people stupid.
Context matters.
Corvinus, your only context is advancing the interests of your master. You are the ultimate slave. Memoryless, thoughtless, confined by ideological blinders, you speak as the Mouth, but nothing more.
Do you tire of licking the boots of your master? I will bet that you do not. And I will bet that you think that your craven dissembling, your prurient preening, your dishonest prestidigitation, bring you not just great joy, but the happiness that comes from you imagining yourself with your boot on our necks. And with all that, you can be confident that Moloch smiles upon you and all you do in his service.
“As Oregonians, we hold high expectations for students because we believe in the boundless potential of children,” Grubbs’ testimony said.
You have to admire the profound dishonesty. The coin of the realm is impudent insolence in service of destroying what remains of a once vibrant middle class.

I do not think Biden’s feet will fit in Feinstein’s boots.
But Biden and Feinstein share a common appetite for betraying America – Feinstein had a Chinese asset working with her, and Biden is a Chinese asset.
Who would have guessed that the great whore spoken of in Revelation 17, “Babylon the great,”the city and the idea, the “mother of prostitutes,” (is there anything else in Biden’s administration?) “and of earth’s abominations” would be a man.
Biden is simultaneously a zombie and an abomination. Just like Corvinus.
This is fantastic news. Thank you for sharing it. It will be a body blow to the Eeyore brigade, and one glance shows you why architectural modernism is a school spawned by Old Scratch himself.

One side wins and the other side loses. And when the surgeries go awry, the bridges fall down, and the planes hit the ground at terminal velocity, it will focus the minds of the wicked (and even the idiotic self-loathing wicked, such as Corvinus).
Then we need to record the stupidity in an immutable medium so that our descendants do not destroy their patrimony. Sheep must be able to read, to be sure, but they need the facts of the leftist mind virus to innoculate them from another epidemic.
I wouldn’t put Russia in also-ran status.
Get ready to be attacked as a Putin puppet. And next will be how Ukraine is winning the war against Russia, and the Russians are losing three times (or five times or ten times) as many soldiers as the Ukrainians, the Ukrainian counteroffensive is succeeding, and Zelenksky is the new Churchill or George Washington or Augustus Caesar or Abraham Lincoln or Alexander the Great.

Sowell’s a great guy, but his critique of The Bell Curve was not strong.
You wanted quotes though. From here:
What do you call it when someone steals someone else’s money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else’s money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else’s money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.
The kinds of people we need in government are precisely the kinds of people who are most reluctant to go into government — people who understand the inherent dangers of power and feel a distaste for using it, but who may do so for a few years as a civic duty. The worst kind of people to have in government are those who see it as a golden opportunity to impose their own superior wisdom and virtue on others.
Blacks were not enslaved because they were black but because they were available. Slavery has existed in the world for thousands of years. Whites enslaved other whites in Europe for centuries before the first black was brought to the Western hemisphere. Asians enslaved Europeans. Asians enslaved other Asians. Africans enslaved other Africans, and indeed even today in North Africa, blacks continue to enslave blacks.

Dear Brother Buzz,
In a normal world, this kind of oversight and obvious slop would relegate the channel to low status.
True.
Why are there not more normal, competing, superior, accurate, truthful alternatives? Why don’t we all just use those alternatives? (I realize my second question is purely imaginary since there don’t seem to be viable alternatives.)
The network effect. The Wikipedia drones, drowned in propaganda, self-confined to subterranean blinders and basement dwellings, and afflicted by the dishonest drone-speak imposed on them, accept the Marxist wholesale distortion of reality. And their network has been coopted and dominated by the “rich men north of Richmond.”
Those of us bound by reality want our system to work for us. We do not have time to distort the world in which we live, and we do not pretend that we can offer utopia.
The utopians want to remake humanity in the image of the new Soviet man. Never mind that it failed and must fail. Supposedly G.K. Chesterton did not remark, “When a man stops believing in God, he doesn’t believe in nothing, he believes in anything.” But those who object to that quote were not there. And the evidence is that those who deny reality are encircled and encompassed by Chesterton’s stricture.
They may snuff out our lives, but they cannot snuff out the truth.

In all seriousness, that's just where you've got it wrong.It's pointless to attempt to solve so many problems if you refuse to recognize the Jewish role in creating and aggravating them. Black bullshit, open borders, LGQBT-whatever, transsexuals, 'womens lib' taken to a demented extreme...whatever I've forgotten.To try to address any of these while denying the often-fantastically disproportionate Jewish role in perpetuating them is exactly like what I've so often compared it to.It is just like trying to deal with the flooding in the basement while refusing to admit that that broken pipe right over there gushing water might have something to do with the problem.Replies: @Charles Erwin Wilson, @YetAnotherAnon, @Corvinus

You are reasoning with an impaired victim of Hubris. And Hubris has possessed the soul of Corvinus, which has led him to kneel before the dark lord.
Corvinus knows the truth and willfully turns his back on it. Reason did not populate his fevered mind with his idiotic ideas. Reason will not cure his diseased soul of its virulent pustules and grotesque cancerous tumors.
Do not put your shoulder to the wheel seeking the redemption of Corvinus. It will roll back and crush you along with your good intentions.

Right Achmed!
Because we know that Robert Bigelow’s $20 Million contribution and his demand that DeSantis moderate his positions (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/desantis-biggest-donor-says-he-wont-give-more-money-unless-changes-are-made-2023-08-04/) had nothing to do with DeSantis saying “All those theories that were put out did not prove to be true” in response to a question regarding the fraud surrounding the 2020 election.
Nope! Nothing to see here. No fraud, no illicit activity, Ron DeSantis adopted the party line. How will he come through for us? He will not.
Oh, BTW, I warned that Trump would disappoint us before his 2016 election. Though I offered a full-throated endorsement of Trump. And Trump did. But consider the opposition.
Trump will disappoint us after his 2024 election, too. But Trump will be better than before because now he has the lay of the land. DeSantis, however, would deliver none of what you desire, Achmed. DeSantis is no less of a chameleon than Lindsay Graham.
Support Trump, then hope and pray that his election avoids a civil war.
Trump tweeted that he was going to issue an Executive Order stopping birthright citizenship, then forgot all about it and went back to tweeting.
But Trump will be better than before because now he has the lay of the land. DeSantis, however, would deliver none of what you desire, Achmed. DeSantis is no less of a chameleon than Lindsay Graham.
True.
Agree.
And BTW, Mr. Unz, the agree button should not be just a recent post-tally qualifier. I have a job that periodically requires that I devote all my attention to it. When I come back, I cannot just agree with something like Bill’s post. That is a defect.
You sure about that? Imagine what was left on the ground after, say, the Iran-Iraq War, or the Biafran or Bangladeshi ones, or even just the World Wars in Europe.
Those other countries differed from ours in one key respect: Their citizenries did not possess private arsenals of firearms dwarfing those of any military on earth.

This is the kind of thing that happens more in England than in heavily armed America.
Interview after interview conducted with felons has confirmed that they are far more concerned and fearful of their prospective victims being armed than they are of the police. They know full well that the former are afforded a lower threshold for the use of lethal force than the latter are, especially if the former are at their own residences. The fact that American homes are likely to have armed owners definitely reduces “hot” burglaries* in the U.S. than in, say, the UK.
*Burglaries where the residents are present and usually the burglars know that to be the case, but do not care. It is often conflated with “home invasions” in the U.S., but the two are, in the strictest sense, not the same. Home invasions typically include intentionally violent actions toward the victims, including sexual assault when women and girls are present.
“Cold” burglaries – where the residents are not present – are much more common in the U.S. – this is typically preceded by someone observing the home and the life patterns of the residents, often from a getaway vehicle. The actual breaks-ins sometimes involve juveniles who are small enough to fit through unsecured windows. They usually go straight to the master bedroom and look for valuables and small residential security containers (wrongly called “safes” in common parlance) and know to get out within minutes.
They generally try to avoid homes that are well-lit (esp. back entrances) and easily seen by neighbors, homes with security/camera systems, and those with dogs.
In 2005, listeners of the BBC were asked to suggest a piece of legislation that would improve their quality of life, with the promise that it would be introduced to Parliament. The winning proposal, with 26,000 votes, was to allow homeowners to use any means necessary to defend their home from intruders.
A 78-year-old homeowner has been arrested by murder detectives after a suspected burglar he fought with in his own kitchen died of a stab wound. The pensioner, named locally as Richard Osborn-Brooks, was upstairs asleep with his wife when he was woken by the two men breaking into his suburban home in Hither Green, south-east London last night. He was forced into his kitchen by one of the men, who was armed with a screwdriver, before a struggle ensued.
The intruder, a 38-year-old man, was left with wounds to his chest and local residents say he collapsed in a neighbouring road and died in hospital. The homeowner was initially detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm but was later arrested on suspicion of murder. The case has been compared to that of Tony Martin, who was jailed for killing an intruder at his home in 1999.

I replied to you, Jim, to agree with you on the dumbass’ take on refusal of experimental gene therapy
I didn’t start out being personally worried about that vaccine one bit – just didn’t see any reason for me, who was never worried about the Kung Flu from Day 1 on, to take it. However, by the middle of ’22, I’d seen just too many instances of people I know have heart/BP problems that “presented” (as the Docs like to say) way too aligned with their shots (esp. the boosters) to be coincidence.
You were a Kung Flu Panicker from Day 1. I fully understand your wanting to take every precaution available. I don’t feel it’s up to me to prevent you from being in a full panty-bunching Panic. However, could you do the courtesy of leaving the rest of us out of it?

I dunno what a '13-sigma event' is, but the significance of a 26.4% increase depends largely on what the original rate was.

'...The 2022 “excess death” toll is 26.4% higher than it should be in the crucial age category of 0-24 years old. Think about that number for a moment: a 26% increase in sudden deaths within a year. That’s unheard of.
That’s a 13-sigma event...'
I dunno what a ’13-sigma event’ is, but the significance of a 26.4% increase depends largely on what the original rate was.
Well, when you mention ‘significance,’ are you referring to ‘practical significance’ or ‘statistical significance’? Your post reads like practical. The claim is statistical.
To which do you refer?
Hmm. I qualify as a member of all of Turok’s tribes. Where are we? We need a fourth tribe.
In the meantime, Donald Trump had 4 years for us to find out he’s a well-meaning incapable bullshitter. Maybe you have not seen that in him yet, Charles.
Yes, I grant your observation that Trump is a bullshitter. That is what we expect to see from anyone in sales, and Trump is in sales to be sure. But my point is that DeSantis will betray us on not only immigration, but on economic nationalism and the devolution of power away from Washington DC. We need an immigration moratorium certainly. And we need all the undocumented invaders to be expelled. But we cannot hope to do so without economic nationalism. The puppetmasters that control the $ for DeSantis rely on globalism and cheap labor. They will not allow Ron to correct the essential problems that plague us.
You are disappointed that Trump did not enact your program. I share your objectives, but I think Trump is better positioned to advance our shared agenda (unless I have misread you – which may be the case).
I do not think DeSantis will tackle the biggest issue we face, namely, the entrenched bureaucracy. This is where we differ, brother. Once circumstances change, one of us will be compelled to accept the argument of the other. And if I am wrong, I will happily concede my failure to predict the future. After all, as Yogi Berra famously claimed, “predicting is difficult, especially about the future.”
We live in interesting times. I prefer boring times. But the hand we are dealt is the hand we must play.
Brother Achmed, you make me laugh. You support DeSantis but you supposedly want to decrease illegal immigration.
DeSantis will never reduce immigration. His money masters ensure the same.
Ron DeSantis supported, and then voted, for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and for the fast-tracking of the Trade Promotion Authority necessary to enact the same damnable measure in the United States Congress.
Your buddy Governor DeSantis has been funded by the whores who comprise the big-money globalists and funded by the contemptible Club for Growth, the latter of whom are financing and advocating for the a theoretically “presidential” candidate, named Ron DeSantis, who will do their bidding by betraying the American Core.
DeSantis will not curtail immigration. The DeSantis masters will ensure the same. You are deluded regarding any measures that DeSantis ought to pass, or would pass, were he in charge.
Follow the money, brother Achmed. DeSantis is the living example of mene, mene, tekel upharsin
But why didn't Trump, when he was President, enforce the laws of the United States, and tell everyone who was in this country illegally simply to go home???

It’s not that other ancient peoples never killed innocents, but there is not much record of Assyrians or Persians or Romans killing solely for the sake of religion.
There is no record of the separation of religion and state in any civilization you cite, and the brutality of their actions exceeds anything you find in the OT. You blame the Hebrews because they did the best job of recording and conveying history. But you fail to recognize the reduction in violence that they produced. E.g., Lex Talionis was proportional instead of the usual extermination campaign.

DeSantis has been funded by the donor class. Do you think DeSantis is an America First candidate? If you do, you are deceived and playing for the wrong team. If you do not, you are still playing for the wrong team.
It is not a question of objecting to his policies. It is the belief - well founded, based on his term in office - that he has neither the ability nor the intention of carrying them out.Replies: @AnotherDad

Trump was better than any Biden, CamelToe, AOC, etc. could ever be because, "first, do no harm". I appreciate that stuff. His saying that ONLY he could do "all this" is his ego, which is retarded.

You have missed the point. Your worldview is built on material fundamentalism, based on the claim that something came from nothing (but ex nihilo nihil fit). The speed of light is constant (Is the speed of light fixed?), etc. You have other assumptions, which you take on faith, such as middle-school biology (evolution is true, humans are nothing but a physical-chemical-biological animal). Your Ph.D. wife does too. Given your assumptions, you see an effect and proceed to infer a Physicist-Dave-assumption-based cause.
Maybe evolution is true – as my great uncle would say, “I wasn’t there.” But given Gö del’s criticism, as reported here:
Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity
I believe that mechanism in biology is a prejudice of our time which will be disproved. In this case, one disproof, in my opinion, will consist in a mathematical theorem to the effect that the formation within geological time of a human body by the laws of physics (or any other laws of similar nature), starting from a random distribution of the elementary particles and the field, is as unlikely as the separation by chance of the atmosphere into its components.
and Scott Aaronson’s explanation:
He [Gödel] does not ask whether evolution can eventually form a human body (for he knows that it can, given exponential time); instead, he asks whether it can do so on a “merely” geological timescale.
I observe that your assumptions do not provide enough time. But an omnipotent being does not need exponential time. If Gödel is correct and evolution is accurate, God provides the necessary and sufficient conditions to realize the effects you attribute to chance. Your position has the same strength as a geocentric view of the universe.
You claim you need not defend your position because you can appeal to authority. That worked well with the Wuhan virus, didn’t it? You resorted to name-calling because you either do not think you can defend your position or you are too lazy to do so.
To quote that cheerfully uplifting verse by Matthew Arnold:

You are a deeply sick pathological liar.
Your Ph.D. wife does too.
I appealed to the scientific method and to the well-known fact, known even to sickos like you, that “biomolecular genetics” has in fact been used successfully to create GMOs: this would not be possible if it were, as our idiot friend ID claims, “pseudoscientific.”
You claim you need not defend your position because you can appeal to authority.
Well, since you choose to bring it up, I am quite sure that any just God will send you to Hell for all eternity.

In February 2022, the Supreme Court of Missouri suspended the couple’s law licenses indefinitely, but stayed the punishment and imposed one year of probation.
In other words, they were not really punished. Sure, nothing at all should have happened to them, but in the end the punishment was minimal.
If your law license was suspended indefinitely, would you consider it minimal? How does a lawyer make a living without practicing law?
Pray tell, what is your ancestral background? If you cannot directly trace your family tree on both sides to 1600s, you have to go back.
Why do you always resort to dishonesty? If Curle could trace the tree to the 1600s, you would insist that it doesn’t count unless the tree began at the Mayflower. You are a liar just like your father.
You intentionally omit the national consensus for assimilation that held until you and your Marxist fellow-travelers destroyed it. Then you insisted on open borders to make European descendants a minority in our own country. And you think that is a marvelous outcome. Sooner or later the consequence will be white identity politics, fueled by the resentment generated by the decades of injustice visited by you and yours upon us.

Carter destroyed mid-sized farming and American international prestige. Carter sold the Panama Canal to ingratiate himself with Hispanics. Those Hispanics did not care one whit about Carter’s blunder. Carter presumed to put “human rights” at the top of his agenda but managed to undermine human rights for the Iranians, the victims of Soviet oppression, and even his peace deal was an illusion driven by Carter’s delusions of grandeur.
Carter was an instrument of the globalists. You boomer acolytes are not just wrong about Carter, you are wrong-headed. But hey, there is nothing new under the sun. And Jimma advanced the globalist agenda, and all of you Carter groupies, with your blinkered perspective, applaud Jimma as a good man.

Yes, “gender” imbalance is a HUGE issue. We can solve the imbalance problem by changing the “gender” identification of men working there. It should be easy to get the 50% to 50% desired outcome through “transitioning” enough men to meet the quota. Yep. All good. Everyone do a self-backpat.
We solved the problem, the problem is solved (tm – PBS).
Is there a way to change any of that without essentially clearing away all off the Deep State elite types? I doubt it. And I expect them to keep pushing to advance hatred of White worldwide.
As Victor Davis Hanson pointed out, the way to curtail the unwarranted power of the deep state is to reassign every FBI/CIA/NSA/DoJ/DoD employee to another federal agency (using randomization) where they keep their GS status, but cannot abuse the American people. Take the people replaced from those other agencies and plant them where the thugs were. Repeat the process on the same cycle as congressional elections. Then move the Fed offices from the east coast to the center of the country. Make the Fwerps get away from DC or get out of the government.
Of course, it should be coupled with prohibitions for firearm possession for all of them as Federal Employees. If you are a Fed, you get a billy club and a smiley face button. But no guns, no mace, no tazers, and no body armor.
That is insane.

it’s literally the repetition that helps me appreciate good music that I like.
The first time I noticed this was with Beethoven’s 9th
That’s nice, but it should be obvious that the topic here is modern pop/rock music, not symphonies or long-form jazz or whatnot. Those are different categories, and cannot be judged as readily as individual pop/rock songs (or albums of the same, given proportionate time per song).Pink Floyd, as mentioned above, could be a hybrid—‘radio-friendly’ songs plus long-form ‘concept album’ compositions. Even for the latter, one non-distracted real-time album run through should be enough for a listener to determine if they want to hear it again (sometimes immediately).

Oh you are good, aren’t you? Your shift to another domain is a remarkable work of prestidigitation. The analogy you offer doesn’t just fail, it fails at the essential point of contention. Your claim is that this is just another ‘perpetual motion machine,’ but we know that the Sars-CoV-2 bioweapon was loosed upon humanity. How inconvenient for you! And that a drug maker, driven but enormous profits would not exploit the opportunity for self-enrichment through a lather-rinse-repeat process is inconceivable.

They would only to the extent unpacking them while they're still thermally and radioactively very hot is easier.

I've from the beginning, within the first few months due to the wet market hypothesis not panning out and/or SARS-CoV-2 being far too well adapted to humans thought "the Wuhan Lab leak" was by far the most likely explanation, and the more people like the DRASTIC team dig the more likely it looks.
