James Kirkpatrick correctly lambasts the Republicans’ self-destructive tendency to cling to immigrant propaganda, Magic Dirt, and Paper Nationalism.

Republicans still don’t know how to talk about race, identity and nation. Which is a problem, because, as an article in Axios recently bragged, “The single biggest threat to Republicans’ long-term viability is demographics”. [The GOP’s demographic decay, by Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, July 18, 2019]

The repeating pattern: a Republican 1) says something 2) is accused of racial insensitivity 3) immediately grovels and offers concessions. The mostly white Republican base gets demoralized, the Cultural Marxist Left is emboldened, and the Overton Window shifts in the wrong direction.

In a desperate move, Republicans have lately been even trying to use support for Israel as a kind of proxy for white America—a strategy unlikely to work because Jewish organizations never reciprocate.

The solution is simple. But it requires a modicum of courage—one person with influence explicitly defending the right of Americans as Americans to defend their interests. For years, American leaders, including supposed “conservatives,” have been saying that anyone who believes in certain “ideas” is an American. Not surprisingly, current American political leaders are taking this to its logical conclusion and saying that America belongs to everyone in the world—not its citizens. As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently declared, the country “belongs to everyone.”

But it doesn’t. It belongs to American citizens. And if American citizens can’t stake an exclusive claim to their own country, then they must admit they simply don’t have one anymore.

Remember, US citizen != American citizen of the USA. The latter is a subset of the former. There are many US citizens who are not Americans and there are also more than a few Americans who are not US citizens. Americans are the genetic descendants of the original People of the united States, for whom the Tranquility, the general Welfare and the Blessings of Liberty are to be secured by the US Constitution.

That doesn’t mean that Americans can be the only citizens of the federal state, it simply means that anything and anyone that does not promote the tranquility, welfare, and liberty of Americans, as determined solely by Americans, is anti-American and anti-Constitutional.

Robert Mueller’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee appears to have gone rather poorly today:

A number of pundits this morning have been questioning former special counsel Robert Mueller’s performance at the hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney spoke with Judge Andrew Napolitano as the Mueller hearing got underway Wednesday. Napolitano said so far it shows Mueller “is a good Marine and he’s gonna follow the instructions from the Department of Justice and basically not talk about ongoing cases, not talk about the deliberations that led to the report, and not talk about anything outside the report.”

“Now, that’s bad news for both sides,” he added, saying Democrats want to go into his thinking while Republicans want to question him about the origins of the investigation.

At one point Varney remarked, “Forgive me for making almost a personal comment. Robert Mueller seems frail. He does not seem really sharp and in line with answering the questions. Yes or no is what he’s been giving.”

Napolitano agreed he didn’t seem as sharp as he has in previous hearings. Other pundits and political observers have expressed similar thoughts.

It sounds as if someone has been denied his adrenochrome as punishment for his failures. That, or the kuru is starting to set in.

UPDATE: It just keeps getting more interesting.

Solomon just reported on Hannity that Mifsud has flipped and is stating that he was an intell asset and directed to target Papadopoulos.

I doubt he’s the only one who has flipped and is naming names.

The Other McCain, or as I now very much enjoy calling him, The Only McCain, points out that the Red Faction of the globocracy still isn’t over the fact that most Americans are still nationalists who prefer Americans to Fake Americans, Paper Americans, and various other Not Americans

Four years ago, Vox Day observed that French and the #NeverTrump conservatives “haven’t grasped the fact that the demographic changes to the United States have not only changed the way the political game is played, but have changed the game itself.” The country that elected and re-elected Ronald Reagan by landslide margins has ceased to exist, replaced by one in which Republicans can win the White House only by razor-thin margins, and the most important reason for this change is immigration. The demographic changes that have so transformed our politics did not “just happen.” It wasn’t some impersonal trend which caused this, but rather it was a matter of policy, and National Review was on the side of open borders, having purged Alien Nation author Peter Brimelow and sidelined John O’Sullivan. Not only did National Review purge those who dissented from their open-borders agenda, but also treated as persona non grata anyone who lamented this purge. They will call you a racist if you don’t support open-borders Republicans whose policies make it impossible for Republicans to win elections. Why do the editors of National Review think we should be grateful for their services in denouncing Republican voters as racist, as if there is a shortage of Democrats willing to perform this service?

Americans have grown tired of being lectured about how racist they are. The white people delivering these lectures — e.g., Joe Scarborough, Chris Cuomo, David Brooks — seem to believe that their moral superiority to the rest of us is so self-evident that we will enjoy and be grateful for the opportunity to be “enlightened” by them. Yet they are telling us nothing we haven’t already been told a million times, long before anyone imagined Donald Trump running for president.

David French’s insistence that Ilhan Omar is better than any native-born American simply because she is an immigrant — that our inheritance as Americans is a stigma of inferiority — is insulting, and the fact that he thinks we are too stupid to notice this is even more insulting.

It’s not so much that the National Cuckservatives think we are stupid. It’s that they erreoneously believe that they are subtle and clever. Because gamma.

The blessings of liberty are not for them. They are for the Posterity of the original People of the united States. It’s more than a bit ironic that so many deny that Christians have been grafted on to the promises of Abraham as per the Bible while asserting on nothing more than the basis of a poem and a play, both written by foreigners, that Not Americans have been grafted on to the American Posterity.

The Dirt isn’t Magic. Neither is the Paper. And the NatCucks refuse to accept that, just as they won’t accept the easily verifiable fact that, yes, in fact, most Americans really do want to send Ilhan Omar back to Somalia, along with all of her compatriots.

And if she can take David French with her, so much the better.

And it wasn’t even close, because “racist, racist” isn’t working any better than “Russia, Russia” did:

The House voted on Wednesday to table a resolution from Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, to impeach President Donald Trump over racist comments he made about four Democratic congresswomen of color, effectively killing the measure.

The vote — 332 to 95, with one lawmaker voting “present” — marked the first time the Democratic-controlled chamber had weighed in on impeachment, an issue that has created a widening schism within the party. Progressive newcomers and several 2020 candidates have pushed for impeachment proceedings, but the House leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been resistant.

All Republicans joined with 137 Democrats and the lone independent, Justin Amash, to table the resolution.

Meanwhile, Americans are chanting “send her back” about the Somali woman squatting in the US Congress who allegedly married her own brother:

President Donald Trump slammed Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the members of ‘squad’ at his campaign rally Wednesday night with supporters responding with shouts of ‘send her back, send her back.’

While the president raged against all four lawmakers who make up the squad individually – and railed against several of the Democratic presidential contenders – it was Omar, who is a frequent target of his ire, who bore the brunt of his criticism.

Trump accused Omar of blaming terrorists attacks on our country just hours after igniting a debate over rumors she was married to her brother.

‘She smeared U.S. Service members involved in Black Hawk Down,’ he said referring to the failed 1993 raid in Mogadishu by the U.S. military. ‘In other words, she slandered the brave Americans were trying to keep peace in Somalia. Omar minimized the September 11th attacks on our homeland saying some people did something,’ he added.

Outside the White House earlier that day he had said, ‘I hear that she was married to her brother,’ repeating claims which have swirled around Omar since her 2016 campaign.

A Somali blog first accused her of marrying her brother and of being a bigamist. It prompted her to issue statements which have not helped in disproving the claims.

That sound you’re hearing is the Overton Window shattering again. And I do so enjoy the delicate phrasing of the term “prompted her to issue statements which have not helped in disproving the claims” which is considerably more accurate than the false US narrative of the claims being “baseless”.

A poll shockingly discovers that Americans don’t like being ruled over by invaders who hate them:

Support for U.S. President Donald Trump increased slightly among Republicans after he lashed out on Twitter over the weekend in a racially charged attack on four minority Democratic congresswomen, a Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll shows.

The national survey, conducted on Monday and Tuesday after Trump told the lawmakers they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” showed his net approval among members of his Republican Party rose by 5 percentage points to 72{739b910556a9cc9c1a54a816a1fda004c1b87c8f235f686ea012b71861344b41}, compared with a similar poll that ran last week.

On the imaginary downside, the paper citizens who didn’t vote for him and would never, ever vote for him under any circumstances now double-dog won’t vote for him.

They have to go back.

Naturally, the Republican establishment professional politicos got it all wrong:

President Donald Trump’s advisers are concerned that his attack on four Democratic congresswomen Sunday may have backfired, Politico reported. The advisers reportedly think that Trump veered wildly off his campaign message and helped unite a Democratic Party that the week before was split by infighting.

Fire those idiot advisers, Mr. President. Listening to them will not help you win re-election in 2020.

Hey, America is just an idea held by immigrants, right? How are “borders” even relevant these days? They’re just an arbitrary line on a map, right? They don’t even exist!

Elizabeth Warren has an immigration plan. Here are the highlights:

• Decriminalizes unauthorized immigration and returns to the civil enforcement we had before George Bush began Operation Streamline.
• Eliminates abusive immigration enforcement and keeps law enforcement at arms length from CBP and ICE.
• Reduces and reforms immigrant detention.
• Reforms immigration courts.
• Raises the refugee cap to 125,000 and affirms refugee protections.
• Reforms legal immigration and creates a path to citizenship.

This is a curious plan. As near as I can tell, it recommends no actions to improve border law enforcement in any way. There’s nothing about either a wall or a “virtual wall.” There’s nothing about E-Verify. There’s nothing about “smarter” or “more efficient” enforcement. No one will ever be deported—except, presumably, for serious felons, though Warren doesn’t even say that explicitly. Expedited removal will be ended. The Border Patrol will be reshaped from “top to bottom,” and will focus their efforts on “homeland security efforts like screening cargo, identifying counterfeit goods, and preventing smuggling and trafficking.” The whole thing is very similar to Julian Castro’s plan.

I have previously criticized Republicans who accused liberals of wanting “open borders.” President Trump tweets about this endlessly. But I have to admit that it’s hard to see much daylight between Warren’s plan and de facto open borders.

The Trumpslide cometh.

The Labor Secretary steps down over the outraged response to the 2006 Epstein plea bargain:

Labor Secretary Alex Acosta is resigning just days after he defended his role in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Acosta announced that he would leave the administration a week from now as he and President Donald Trump spoke to reporters at the White House on Friday.

Trump brought Acosta out to break the news to journalists as he left the White House for Wisconsin, capping off a week rocked by new federal charges against Epstein in New York for trafficking underage girls.

In a more just world, he’d also be prosecuted. Whether there was undue pressure from on high or not, the fact that he doesn’t seem to understand why the deal was so obscenely wrong is deeply troublesome. And I can’t say I’m terribly impressed with President Trump’s response here, although I’ve learned to take his public statements with very large grains of salt.

But his resignation is the right thing to do at the moment, so there is that.

Cerno moves his sights onto the sexual harassers in Congress:

For decades members of Congress would use your taxpayer dollars to buy their way out of bad publicity.

When a member of Congress was accused of sexual harassment, the case went to a secret court known as the Office of Compliance. Hidden from public view, Congress’s Office of Compliance paid out over $17 million for 264 settlements involving misconduct and sexual harassment.

It is time to Unseal the Deals!

If you’ve ever doubted Mike was on the side of the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, recent events should suffice to convince you otherwise. You can back his legal efforts here.

Meanwhile, the worldwide crackdown on deviant child predators continues.

Norwegian police have uncovered yet another network of pedophiles, this one operating with such advanced technology that they went undetected for the past 20 years. Now a gay male Norwegian couple is under arrest and police have seized several million photos and videos of assaults on young boys from around the world.

State broadcaster NRK reported Tuesday evening that the seizure made in the home of the couple now ranks as the largest of its kind in Norway. “I’ve never encountered this sort of volume before, or such professionalism,” Police Lt Fredy Salazar, who leads investigations into electronic crime for the Oslo Police District, told NRK.

Notice that celebrities are involved – of course – and that “their goal was to normalize sex between grown men and young boys”. That’s what “pride” and “gay rights” are all about. That’s what they have always been all about.

7. Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent.

If you want to see the rapid dismantling of the European Union, the selection of the “minister of the lack of defense” as the President of the European Commission is an almost ideal choice:

Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen is slated to lead the EU’s executive for five years. A model centrist liberal politician with a dubious record of overseeing Germany’s troubled military, she’s facing rough waters to navigate.

The long-serving German defense chief has all of a sudden come to the forefront as a future head of the European Union’s executive branch. That might be a little unexpected, as she was not even on the list of potential candidates until recently. Yet, after marathon debates the European leaders agreed that she would be the best fit for the position previously held by Jean-Claude Juncker.

Von der Leyen is a political veteran and the only person to have held a ministerial position in all four successive governments of Chancellor Angela Merkel since the German leader first came to power back in 2005.

Minister of lack of defense

Yet, her ministerial record is far from flawless. Over the past six years, during which von der Leyen headed the Defense Ministry, Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr, have become a steady source of news about planes that can’t fly, tanks that break down, and vessels that are unfit for maritime operations….

Despite the mounting problems within her domain, von der Leyen has consistently supported the idea of an increased German military presence in foreign nations, sending German troops for peacekeeping missions to countries like Somalia, South Sudan and Mali. In 2016, Germany toed the line to join the US-led coalition fighting in Syria and Iraq. In March 2018, she told the German forces stationed in Afghanistan that her ministry does not plan to bring them home anytime soon – just after Berlin decided to ramp up the troop numbers in the war-torn country.

During her tenure as labor minister, von der Leyen lobbied for lower barriers to immigration, arguing that Germany needs a larger workforce. Two years later, at the height of the refugee crisis, she lashed out at the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for his restrictive asylum policies by saying that his actions were “not acceptable” and violated “the European rules.”

She is also a strong proponent of deep European integration. In 2011, she said she would like to see the emergence of a “United States of Europe” built on the example of Germany or the US, which are both federal states.

She’s incompetent, imperious, and completely out of touch with the average European. Which suggests that by the end of her term, Italy, Hungary, and at least two other countries will either be out of the EU or in the process of leaving. You know von der Leyen is going to be exceptionally good for the nationalists of Europe when even a strongly pro-EU German newspaper like Bild describes the selection of a German politician to lead the EU as ‘horrifically short-sighted’.

It looks like Creepy Joe is all but done already in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination:

Former Vice President Joe Biden lost one of his top fundraisers after controversial comments regarding his work with past segregationists and his flip-flop on repealing the Hyde Amendment, CNBC has learned.

Tom McInerney, a veteran San Francisco based lawyer, informed Biden’s team on June 20 that he can no longer help him raise campaign cash to compete in the 2020 presidential election. “I had actually let the campaign known I’d pulled back my support of Biden for now,” McInerney told CNBC. “I don’t think he did well last night,” he added, reflecting on Biden’s debate performance on Thursday night.

While McInerney is the first financier to publicly withdraw his support after Biden’s controversial round of comments, the loss is significant because it could be a harbinger of further defections.

“I would imagine I’m not alone,” said McInerney, who was a lead bundler for President Barack Obama in his first run for president. He helped Obama’s campaign raise at least $200,000 throughout that cycle, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

Democrats are the party of Diversity. It’s only right that their candidate properly represent all the Diversity and Vibrancy and Inclusivity for which they stand.
