One of the oddest orthodoxies of modern “anti-racist” doctrine is that only white people can be racist. (Or, as a Vice writer declared in October 2016, “It’s literally impossible to be racist to a white person.”) When the journalist Sarah Jeong was engulfed in a controversy over a series of old tweets lambasting white people — “Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men” — her defenders on the left “were quick to say that the statements Jeong made could be skewed as racist only if the culture, history and current sociopolitical context of the United States were ignored,

There may be a reason for the global antipathy toward blacks. It is an unfortunate fact that the native peoples of Africa have produced little by way of human capital since the end of slavery in the West. The continent is rich in minerals but the people are poor in the things that make for an advanced civilization. I do not say this with animosity, antipathy or glee; rather, I am saddened that the world seems to have passed indigenous Africans by. It is not their fault, by and large, but simply the lack of intellectual competence that has resulted from being largely a stone age civilization thrust into the twenty-first century, where there is little need for strong backs and low IQs. This results in large amounts of cultural jealousy, envy and resentment by blacks against their perceived betters, which frequently translates into violent outbursts against the dominant culture that is also perceived to be the cause of their misery, whereas the cause, to paraphrase, is not in the stars or in Whiteness, but in themselves. However, it is a common human fault to deny one's own responsibility and cast blame elsewhere, anywhere, to relieve the terrible burden of inferiority. Moreover, all attempts by the dominant culture to assist the inferior one causes, not the gratitude that is desired by the benefactor, but seething resentment and hatred. The more that is given, the greater is the resentment for the generosity. To move from the general to the specific case, it is clear that Charles M. Blow possesses an inferior intellect, swimming as best he can in a world of intellectual superiors, which causes him to lash out and blame everyone else for his lack of intellectual achievement. If it were not for his outbursts of anger directed at Whitey, he would have no content whatsoever in his columns. There would simply be his by-line, his picture and a column-and-a-half of blank newsprint.

Republican candidate Herschel Walker is making the most of a criticism from his opponent, Democrat incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. Warnock made the mistake of mocking Walker for being in possession of what he called “fake” police badges during a debate. Walker quickly whipped one out and proudly held it up to the audience. As it turns out, the so-called fake badges are honorary badges presented to Walker by sheriffs throughout the state.In response to the political attack from Warnock, the Walker campaign ordered 1,000 imitation plastic law enforcement badges that say “I’m with Herschel”. The campaign has turned the badges into a fundraising tool.

Humans are not very good fortune tellers, not even when there’s lots of data on which to make educated guesses. That’s certainly been true of recent political polling in 2016 and 2020 and to a lesser degree in 2018. Nevertheless, the pressure to make predictions is strong. So today, Matt Yglesias has put forward his best guess as to what will happen nationally next month. His conclusion is that polls are once again underestimating GOP strength in various races and that, partly because of that bad data, Democrats are going to underperform even current (low) expectations.According to 538, Republicans have a 72 percent chance of taking the House,

Er … what? Just how desperate are Democrats to sell abortion in this midterm cycle dominated by inflation and crime? Stacey Abrams demonstrates here in an exchange with Mike Barnicle this morning on Morning Joe. Barnicle points out that Democrats’ attempts to use abortion to distract from the issues that matter most to voters in the cycle have flopped.Abrams responds by claiming that abortion is a solution to inflation. And I’m not kidding:

It will come down to the wire in Arizona, but the signals look better and better for the GOP in both major races. In a new Trafalgar poll commissioned by Daily Wire, Kari Lake’s lead has expanded to nearly three points over Democrat and debate-refusenik Katie Hobbs, just a skosh outside the margin of error.Meanwhile, Republican challenger Blake Masters is just a point back from incumbent Senator Mark Kelly, who clearly isn’t closing the sale with Arizona voters: Republicans are close to holding Arizona’s governor’s seat and potentially flipping a U.S. Senate seat, according to a new Trafalgar Group/Daily Wire poll.

Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, it seemed possible that Democrats could avoid a midterm disaster. But if the post-Roe summer belonged to Democrats, by mid-October, even they can see the momentum they had is fading. A recent CBS News/YouGov survey has Democrats running 2 percentage points behind Republicans in the generic congressional ballot — a measure closely tied to a party’s performance in the midterms. A New York Times/Siena College poll released on Monday showed likely voters inclined to vote Republican by a 49 percent to 45 percent margin. Independent women — a critical constituency for Democrats in swing states and districts —

When the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week that September’s inflation rate remained at an unacceptably high 8.2 percent, it sealed the fate of the Democrats. Despite risible claims by President Joe Biden that his policies are helping, the consumer price index (CPI) confirmed that the cost of necessities like food, energy, and housing continues to increase apace. Many hit hardest by this trend are minority voters upon whom the Democrats depend for their survival.

After Stacey Abrams lost her 2018 bid to be the next Governor of Georgia (not that she admitted the loss until recently), she founded a political action committee named Fair Fight PAC that was intended to “combat voter suppression” in the Peach State, which she blamed for her loss or unacknowledged victory, depending on which day you asked her. Fair Fight PAC has since raked in a considerable flow of cash from liberals around the nation who sympathized with her unfair treatment at the hands of the corrupt Republicans in Georgia or whatever. But where has all of that money been going?

Tulsi Gabbard is leaving the Democratic Party because it no longer reflects her values. In a Twitter thread and accompanying video, Gabbard cited the party’s adherence to a woke, alienating agenda. Gabbard discussed her concerns about racial division and anti-white racism, the abandonment of the rule of law, the prioritization of the well-being of criminals over the safety of law-abiding citizens, and the rejection of objective reality, particularly in the realm of biological sex.. "Women exist and are not just a construct in someone’s mind," she said, highlighting the ways in which radical gender theory has obliterated the definition and use of the word "woman,"

The U.S. economy continues to show signs that it is in a recession and that recovery is going to take a long, long time. The housing market is serving as the canary in the coal mine. Per CNBC, "total mortgage application volume fell 14.2%" in the last week of September, compared with the previous week. Refinancing volume dropped 18 percent for the week and "was 86% lower than the same week one year ago." Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 13 percent and are down 37 percent from last year.

We Need To Stop Calling Ourselves Conservatives 33 replies

Given the state of America in 2022, conservatives should stop calling themselves conservatives. Why? Because the conservative project has largely failed, and it is time for a new approach. Conservatives have long defined their politics in terms of what they wish to conserve or preserve--individual rights, family values, religious freedom, and so on.(Snip)To talk of defending “religious freedom” is to misapprehend that the real risk today is widespread irreligion, which will leave so few religious Americans in the coming generations that the government and large corporations will inevitably--and easily--persecute them.

Dean said, “I’ll make this prediction right now we’ll pick up two to three in the Senate and pick up House. We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them. I think we will take two more than we have today n the House.

Former top Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon was sentenced Friday to four months in jail for defying a subpoena from the congressional probe of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. A U.S. District judge also fined Bannon $6,500. But he ruled that Bannon will not have to serve the sentence until an expected appeal plays out. Both the jail term and fine came in below the sentence recommended by federal prosecutors. The proceeding makes Bannon one of the highest-profile figures to be sentenced to jail on charges related to the insurrection.

While we should never count our chickens until they are fully out of their shells, there is almost unanimous agreement among the major polling groups that the GOP should be able to retake the majority in the House next month. (Insert the standard caveat about how bad the polling has been of late here.) If that happens, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy still appears to be the odds-on favorite to be the next Speaker, though that assumption also comes with a few caveats. Some of the GOP members in the lower chamber have clearly been feeling their oats and have been starting to suggest that Joe Biden might be impeached

In the three weeks leading up to the November midterms, Stacey Abrams is getting an assist from legacy media as she goes full-court press on her second Georgia gubernatorial bid. Most polls show Abrams down by at least six points, so appearances on the usual liberal and Left-wing programs, as well as puff pieces like this one in The Cut, are flowing like the Chattahoochee River. Titled, “Stacey Abrams’s Last Stand,” , the writer bemoans how Abrams fought so hard to elect other men for the Democrat Party, yet continues to see a lack of “robust support” in her efforts for higher office.

I love my son, and I will keep looking forward.” Investigators have reportedly gathered enough evidence to charge the 52-year-old Hunter with potential tax crimes and allegedly lying about his drug abuse so he could buy a gun.

Remember earlier this month when the news broke about a Vermont high school allowing a biologically male student to use the girl’s locker room? Well, there has been a new and disturbing development in this saga. A father who works at the school was suspended for speaking out against the policy after his daughter was made uncomfortable by the male student. The situation began when the Daily Signal reported that two girls who are members of the Randolph High School’s volleyball team asked the boy, who identifies as a girl, to leave the locker room after he made an inappropriate comment.

Former President Donald Trump was subpoenaed Friday for documents and his testimony by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol. Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, issued the subpoena to Trump in a letter eight days after the panel's unanimous vote to do so, at the end of what was likely the committee's final hearing. The committee demands that the former president submit documentary material by Nov. 4, which would be followed by "one or more days" of his deposition under oath "on or about" Nov. 14, according to the panel's letter.
