The proverbial shit got real when demonstraters against President Trump’s “Muslim ban” shutting down Portland’s airport attacked a tiny group of counter-protesters and knocked a man unconscious. The mob was barely contained as they cheered the assault (from Infowars): News accounts are describing the counter-demonstrators as pro-Trump but that isn’t entirely accurate. This is theContinue reading “Escalation”

The Waiting
One more foul emanation of enforced diversity: that morbid interval after an act of mass violence, as we two increasingly divided sides of our split nation wait to learn the identity of the culprit and where the narrative impact will land. Diversity not only divides by placing entire communities of strangers in our midst, itContinue reading “The Waiting”
Ironic Christianity
Via Steve Sailer I see a New York Times headline that would have defied understanding before the ascendance of Current Year thinking: I’ve heard the claims that Christians are being discriminated against in the refugee racket and have no idea if it is true. The Times: But the claim is simply untrue. In 2016, the United StatesContinue reading “Ironic Christianity”
Hijab Hullabaloo
Steve Sailer has been speculating Shepard Fairey’s current obsession with the hijab is something of a sexual fetish, and Fairey’s choice of a beautiful woman in ruby red lipstick that might get her arrested in one of the more moderate Muslim countries certainly suggests it is, at least, for him and other young straight maleContinue reading “Hijab Hullabaloo”
Today in White Guilt
Another day, another ambitious Democrat abasing herself before blacks in a play for power. Sally Boynton Brown, as the nationally unknown forty year-old Democratic Party Chair from Republican Idaho, is a long, long shot candidate for national chair. Her instantly infamous cringe-video below probably isn’t enough to make her a dark horse candidate (so to speak) butContinue reading “Today in White Guilt”
The Million Menses March
The Women’s March came to Portland yesterday. Tens of thousands turned out. The mood was festive and family-friendly (that is the kiddies’ physical well-being wasn’t immediately threatened), contrasting the march of the day before, which degenerated by late night into countless small standoffs with police who used tear gas and flash bangs to clear streets andContinue reading “The Million Menses March”
Palestinian-Portland Solidarity
One recurring presence among the signs and symbols in any Portland demonstration is the Palestinian flag, of course. Here it is sharing space with one of the more common specific themes of the new Trump-out demonstrations, the upside-down American flag: Portland has an active liberal Jewish community of course (I’ve suffered, and perversely enjoyed, theContinue reading “Palestinian-Portland Solidarity”
Fire and Brimstone and Fire
Westboro Baptist Church style preachers showed up at the inauguration day protests in Portland. Just as they did at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, they staked out a spot and bravely harried the crowd with intentionally offensive rhetoric. This guy held out for well over an hour. There were no other counter-protesters there. TheyContinue reading “Fire and Brimstone and Fire”
Trump Names the Tools
From the new administration’s whitehouse.gov website: Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter.As if calling rioters rioters and looters looters wasn’t triggering enough to the Establishment, in using the word “disrupter” the administration is calling out one of the pop-ideologies of the opposition that seeks toContinue reading “Trump Names the Tools”
New World Order
Kevin MacDonald quotes from evolutionary anthropologist John Tooby’s article about “coalitional instincts” in response this year’s “annual question” at Edge.org, “What Scientific Concept Should be More Widely Known” (emphasis added): Coalition-mindedness makes everyone, including scientists, far stupider in coalitional collectivities than as individuals. Paradoxically, a political party united by supernatural beliefs can revise its beliefs about economicsContinue reading “New World Order”
