Open Thread

How desperate are the Democrats? Well, they’re playing both sides of the anti-Semitism street. On one hand, they plant anti-Semitic tropes in alleged MAGA accounts trying to get MAGA to hate Israel/Jews, on the other hand they’re trying to claim that Vance is a closet anti-Semite. The purpose here is twofold:

  1. Get Jews to stop voting for an allegedly anti-Semitic GOP.
  2. Divide MAGA so that Trump can’t motivate a MAGA vote this November.

It is all very transparent and clearly the same pay masters are funding both sides of this – and it is because the Democrats have nothing they can campaign on. Oh, sure, they’re also trying to complain about “affordability” but this falls flat because we know that Democrat policies would just make food, housing, fuel and medical care even more expensive – and they’re also using money bags to manipulate things like the gasoline market to keep prices high even though there are simply no shortages of gasoline. But on matters of actual policy, the Democrats have nothing – they want the flood of illegals to resume. They want the criminals to get out of jail. They still want to hobble us with Green ideology. They want us to allow the Mullah regime to survive. They want to return to China flooding our market with low quality goods. It is a disease of the modern Western Ruling Class – it hates the West and it can’t retreat from this hatred without proving itself not merely wrong, but downright evil.

We’ll see how it works out – a money-fueled campaign of lies vs Trump’s ability to motivate a MAGA vote. I’m betting on Trump because, well, he’s simply miles ahead of his opponents and has been since he came down that escalator.

There is a debate about immigration and the phrase “heritage Americans”. My view is that we don’t need any immigrants, at all. There are 340 million people here. We’re the third most populous nation on Earth. We don’t lack talent. Every ounce of talent which the USA might need is already here and in abundance. It is simply a stupid lie to assert that some programmer from India is the only person who can fill an American position. If we are to have continuing immigration, then it has to be very selective. Only the truly highest quality people. Nobody is can possibly be a burden to the welfare system. People who are already fluent in English. People who come here with money already in hand. And then not very many of them. No more than 340,000 per year – and that’s of all types, refugees included (and refugees must be strictly limited to people who are actually at risk – Christians from Muslim lands, whites from South Africa, that sort of thing). I don’t know much about the so-called “heritage American” idea – but my family has been here since the early part of the 17th century. The overwhelming majority of us have ancestors going back a century or more here. This is our land. We are native here. We have a right to preserve our American culture – to not have it swamped by foreigners who don’t want to assimilate.

A related debate is over the intellectual levels of the various peoples of the world. I do believe this is also a Ruling Class op to get people to become racists and thus socially (and electorally) unacceptable. Don’t fall for it, guys. You know – things like the map of IQ by country showing some African countries with an average IQ of like 59. First off, I doubt anyone has done systematic tests of IQ with large enough samples in Africa for us to know. But the implication here is that black and brown people are inherently dumb – inferior. This is an old idea (actually first pushed by the man who became the great-grandfather of Nazism, de Gobineau) and it was drivel when first uttered and remains drivel today.

To be sure, when it was first expressed, it seemed to make some sense – because it was made by Europeans in the 19th century who looked around at the absolute global dominance of Europeans and tried to explain why it happened. They hit upon the fact of being European – of being white. Refined – because of Anglo-Saxon power in the British Empire – into a view that a supposed “Aryan race” is simply superior to all the others.

Sorry, slick, it wasn’t that at all: it was Christianity plus geography. It was Christianity which created the scientific method. Starting with the theological idea that God is the fountain of Reason, Christians embarked on the effort to understand God’s reasonable creation. We no longer just figured it was fate or divine caprice – there had to be a reason behind all events. We started to write things down. Apply logic. Observe. Experiment. We became adept at taking in new concepts – even if the thing wasn’t created by a Christian European (paper money, the compass, gunpowder, etc) and by experiment made them better, and made the foundation for other, later discoveries and inventions. And that is where geography steps in: just look at the map of Europe, especially the western part of it – just stuffed to the gills with natural harbors and navigable rivers. In Europe you could move goods and people around faster than anywhere else on Earth. And the ideas as well. It started to build up in the wake of the Crusades and exploded in the 15th century…inventions and discoveries started to pile up at an increasing pace. Change became the norm. People didn’t just sit back and go “thus it has always been” but started looking for new ways and means. By the 17th century Europe was at the intellectual forefront of the world….while the rest of the world continued to slumber in pagan or fatalistic torpor. By the 19th century mere landing parties of European soldiers could scatter Asian and African armies with ease. White skin had nothing to do with it. Being Germanic had nothing to do with it. Being part of a Christian Europe had all to do with it…and the real pity is that European dominance didn’t last long enough to break the shackles of tribalism, paganism and fatalism in the Third World…and that is why it is still such a depressingly impoverished and barbaric place.

They’re rebooting the Narnia movie series and Meryl Streep will voice Aslan because the creators of the reboot hate Lewis, the stories, the civilization they spring from and any decent impulse human beings have ever had.

I don’t know who Ed Sheeran is but I gather he is an entertainer of some sort and he decided that another performer – a rancid anti-Semite who would make Julius Streicher blush – wouldn’t be his opening act. Since then, the entire global entertainment Establishment has united to destroy him. This is how deeply the anti-Semitic virus has infected the West. It is disgusting and inhuman. You vote for a Democrat, you’re voting for this – this is what, at bottom, the DSA barbarians want.

    Censorship is still alive and well on social media …. I recently posted a stat on the Consumer Price Index as compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics which showed the price variances and increases on core items; groceries, gas, housing, etc., that were all much higher under Biden, even gas and energy.

    It was removed and labeled “misleading”

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics is now a misleading organization. If it doesn’t fit the Democrat narrative.

    Bad news for the climate change alarmists.

    • casper3031's avatar casper3031 September 18, 2026 / 3:55 pm

      Not sure how an above average El Niño disproves global climate change. Hawaii has been hit with two major hurricanes this year. Something that is super rare. And we have three more possible storms heading our way. Add that to the extra hot summer for most of the Northern Hemisphere and we are definitely seeing climate change.

      • Cluster's avatar Cluster September 18, 2026 / 5:39 pm

        We have all gone over this before and I wish you would pay attention because repeating it is exhausting. The earth is a living organism and the climate is ALWAYS changing, since the beginning of time. And man has not negatively altered the climate of a 4.5 billion year old planet in the 100 years of our industrial development. Not even close. Nor could we ever make positive changes to it. What man has done is pollute the earth and ironically that is largely found in third world countries and Democrat governed cities.

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 18, 2026 / 8:47 pm

        Nobody says the climate doesn’t change, Cap – we’re just confident that its going to change no matter what we do. At the last glacial maximum there wasn’t a Gulf of California. That’s 62,000 square miles of land now underwater…and nary an SUV around when it happened. There have also been times when Earth had zero ice – like not one snowflake. Just too warm. Earth has had much higher CO2 levels and much lower. Much higher and lower oxygen, too (those massive insects and massive dinosaurs were able to do that because of how heavily oxygenated the atmosphere was). Sure, if the world really warms up we’re going to lose Florida – and gain literal millions of square miles of land which is either tundra or desert right now (we have those massive deserts because so much water is locked up in ice sheets). Life will adapt to the changed conditions – some species will die, others will thrive. After all, 90% of all species that ever lived are extinct.

        So, no, we’re not going to turn ourselves over to pig-like, corrupt and stupid transnational bureaucracies which don’t give a damn about life but very much want to control how people live because they are pig-like, corrupt and stupid.

        Whether you want to blame it n human activity or nature, the fact is our climate is changing. The best we can do right now is prepare for it. An example. Back in the late sixties my dad took a teaching job on Guam. At the time most of the construction was wood. We had a Typhoon in 1967 that destroyed about five percent of the buildings and left the island without power for weeks. Guam has continued to get hit with major Typhoons every five years or so. A couple of years ago My sister and I went back for a visit. Over 95% of the buildings now are reinforced concrete. Even the power poles are concrete. Guam still gets hit with major storms, but doesn’t have near the damage it use to get. Here in Hawaii, we need to look at how to better prepare our infrastructure for more storms as I would guess that will be the norm. Same with the rest of the country as major weather events are going to continue to get worse.

        That was my point in the earlier post, which I guess flew right over your head. For the first time in the modern satellite era there have been no hurricanes in the Atlantic by mid-September. The Left has constantly lied about there being more violent weather over the last few decades, but the historical data refutes that.

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 19, 2026 / 2:14 pm

        Yep – and Cap is busy moving the goal posts…no hurricanes hitting Florida, so lets have a look at Guam! Which in the last century has had hurricanes in 1935, 1940, 1941, 1946, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1953, 1953, 1953, 1957, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1979, 1979, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1991, 1992, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2002, 2002, 2004, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2014, 2015, 2015, 2015, 2015, 2018, 2018, 2018, 2019, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2026, 2026…70 total hurricanes and this is definitely because I barbecued a steak out back and not because it is smack dab in the middle of the Pacific trade winds which is why it was settled in the first place because you can easily sail to it.

        The comment Casper made “will continue to get worse” is exactly how Democrats want their voters to think. They live in fear and will always vote for the candidate who promises to protect them. In a discussion on small business the other day, I noted the fact that small businesses make up 98%+ of all businesses in America and employ 49% of the American workforce to which a Democrat responded saying “only until they sell out to billionaires” …..

        Democrats are negative people who delight in being victims. They are always fighting something and always “down for the struggle”, seemingly thinking that “everything will get worse” all the time. It’s exhausting.

        MAGA are largely optimistic people and Faith is a big reason for that. We know we can do all things through Christ, who lightens our burdens and gives us peace. We know things will get better and work towards that everyday. Those are the people I want to be around

      How is this different from what is already in place? This is literally the status quo. We’ve had exactly this for decades, since Truman. “You can already send whatever troops and build whatever bases you want in Greenland” is something Denmark has been pointing out this whole stupid time.

      • Cluster's avatar Cluster September 19, 2026 / 9:10 am

        This was February 2026 ….

        The Trump administration has repeatedly pushed for strategic or permanent control of Greenland for Arctic security, which Copenhagen and Nuuk have firmly opposed while insisting that the territory is not for sale

        And I remember all Democrats at the time laughing at Trump for being turned away.

        Democrats seem to think MAGA has the same attention span they do, we don’t. We remember all their shit

        This is September 2026 ….

        Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said that he was pleased with the proposed deal. “The agreement recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our kingdom and ​the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination.”

        It’s a typical Trump “deal.” Nothing changes.

        As far as relying on US for security, just ask Saudi Arabia and our other so-called allies how that’s going for them.

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 19, 2026 / 2:01 pm

        Greenland is now a US protectorate.

        FFS…you’re working in a world where we’ve had nearly a century of purely moronic US foreign policy and now you’re mad that we finally have a man in charge who understands it.

      • justanotherguy98's avatar justanotherguy98 September 19, 2026 / 2:16 pm

        FFS? Greenland has been a US protectorate since 19-fucking-51. You claim to be a student of history, so you must know this. Instead, you pretend that you don’t in order to prop up Donald Trump. You must always prop up Donald Trump no matter what. It’s your own form of TDS.

        Meanwhile, how’s our support of our allies going these days? Saudi Arabia comes under attack by the Houthis and Trump’s response is, “Sorry, we can’t help you.” And why can’t we help them? Because our facilities in the Middle East, as well as our weaponry, has been so degraded that we are incapable of helping. Great job, everyone.

        FFS, indeed.

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 19, 2026 / 2:22 pm

        So, you’re an IRGC bot account, good to know!

        We’re not helping the Saudis out because this is a stew they cooked for themselves…the Saudis cannot afford to have a unified, stable Yemen; they have actually fostered the divisions there. Yemen territorially is tiny compared to Saudi Arabia but Yemen’s population of 32.6 million is comparable to Saudi’s 33.7 million. The Saudi’s figured they could keep anyone from winning and just let it simmer like that…turns out the Houthis are a bit sterner than expected and for all the money the Saudi’s spend on defense, their military appears to be useless…something that they don’t dare hazard in actual battle (it appears to be shot through with the typical Arab/Muslim favoritism with rank based on connections rather than ability and the rank and file, I guess, doesn’t feel like dying for the House of Saud). Plus, we don’t need the Red Sea passage…hardly anything goes through there to or from the USA. We’ll probably turn our attention to it after November.

        Meanwhile, Iran has no capacity – at all. They have no air force and no Navy. Their army and security goons aren’t getting paid. They are suffering hyperinflation along with water and food shortages…not a drop of Iranian oil has been exported for months while total tonnage leaving the Gulf is just about back to pre-war levels.

        Finally, Greenland was just part of Denmark – now we have permanent basing rights and essential veto power over economic development.

        You’re not doing well of late, Sport. A couple things you are either ignorant of or overlooking: the 1951 agreement didn’t preclude other nations (think China and Russia) from establishing bases in Greenland. The new agreement does. Second, the 1951 agreement was only good for as long as the U.S. is a member of NATO, and we know how fragile that relationship is becoming, especially after several major NATO countries refused to allow us to use their bases in support of the Iran conflict. The new agreement is forever, even if Greenland become independent.

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 19, 2026 / 3:14 pm

      “Substantive?” That’s hilarious!

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 19, 2026 / 7:15 pm

        Here is something substantive – you might recall how I’ve recently rewatched both the 2016 and 2024 election coverage because it is so funny…but I guess because I searched that on You Tube, all sorts of election night coverage now pops up. 1964, 72, 80 and 84 are just boring because they were such blowouts. But last night I came across 1960…four years before I was born and I had never seen a minute of it. Kennedy won that – officially – by 0.17%. He might have actually lost the popular vote because his total was swelled by giving him votes in the South which hadn’t voted for his slate of Electors (several Southern States were still very much mid-19th century in how they apportioned Presidential votes). But, bottom line, extremely narrow. It would not have taken much to flip that to Nixon.

        But right from the start of the coverage – this was Cronkite and his merry band of Propagandists at CBS I watched – they were calling it for Kennedy. Putting him as possibly winning a host of States he ended up losing or winning by razor thin margins. There was no way anyone knew who was going to win until very late – that is, just before Nixon gave his 3 am Eastern “if present trends continue” speech it was still completely up in the air…and even after Nixon gave that speech, there was a non-zero chance that final returns would flip it to Nixon. It was just ridiculous…but they loved Kennedy. These poor Goebbles-lite operators had endured 8 years of Ike and they were ready for their Democrat Masters to get back in charge! We like to think the MSM has gotten worse…in a sense, they have: they are much worse at hiding it than they used to be…but on Election Night, 1960, their obvious bias was completely out in the open.

        But what I mean by original I mean just that – something you didn’t get from MSNow. Like this – I consider Ike to have been a failure as both military commander and President. Nice guy. Brave man. Patriot to the core. Hadn’t the least clue how to command an army (got caught with his pants down three times) and as President he was the merest creature of the Establishment and played a key role in making the whole effort of both World Wars a waste of time (they were fought on the grounds of nobody having the right to alter the political-economic system via violence – when he pressured the Anglo-French-Israeli alliance to allow Nasser to get away with it, he signaled to every barbarian out there that it was open season – do whatever the heck you want!). You will not get that opinion in the Establishment – and I’m not saying I am certainly right…but it is my idea, not someone else’s. I thought about it and came to my own conclusion.

        Give me something like that…something that shows you have thought it out and arrived at your own conclusion.

        But that’s not an original thought. If you’re the student of history you claim to be, then you know this. And yet you pawn this off as original thought. It’s not. Furthermore, you weren’t alive during World War II, and probably not even during Ike’s presidency. So you must have arrived at this conclusion from somewhere else because you have no firsthand experience on the subject. Anyway, you can try again if you like.

We have to battle big media, big entertainment, big education, big pharma, etc. who all align to elect their pay masters.

    So Trump has canceled the green energy agenda and repeatedly called the climate change narrative a hoax and scam and not one word from alarmist Democrats. In 2019, AOC said we would all dies in 12 years if we didn’t continue with the green energy agenda. Did she forget? I mean we only 5 years left you would think she would be alarmed, right?

    What a joke. But I guarantee if Democrats ever won again, the doomsday talk of climate change will ramp back up.

      Th article wasn’t at all what I expected. Statements like this caught my attention:

      And the highest temperature extremes have become more intense and frequent, almost everywhere, since the 1950s. Scientists are highly confident that these changes are attributable to human influence.

      and this:

      In general, a fair summary of the evidence is that for well-observed phenomena, like surface temperature or heavy rainfall, with a clear relationship to warming, our multidecadal observations are consistent with human influence overcoming natural variability over long time periods and extremes increasing.

      and this:

      Scientists have two ways to probe climate as a contributing factor, both of which have entered media coverage of extreme weather events. One asks a probabilistic question: How much more likely is a particular event (e.g., a temperature record over a particular area) amid global warming? The answer involves using historical records and computer simulations to estimate the likelihood of such an event in both a changed and a preindustrial climate.

      The findings are less about the specific event, and more about events of that nature. The other question is: How has the changed climate affected the specific event in question? Here, scientists try to understand what a similar event would have looked like in the preindustrial climate. This is sometimes called the storyline approach, where the story is the specific meteorological details of the event.

      These methods offer ways to test the intuition of scientists about real weather extremes. In late June and early July of 2021, a persistent high-pressure ridge, or heat dome, set up over the Pacific Northwest and an extraordinary heat wave affected the area from Oregon to British Columbia. For six days, it shattered temperature records across the region and hundreds died from heat-related causes, in an area where such high, and persistently high, temperatures were well outside of experience and many live without air conditioning. Scientists have studied its connection to climate change using multiple approaches.

      This specific event was created by a rare combination of meteorological factors, a strong high-pressure ridge created the conditions for extreme heat, which occurred on top of higher average temperatures in the region from global warming. Probabilistic analyses showed that climate change increased the likelihood of such an event by at least 8-fold to more than 100-fold. One standout example found that such an event had effectively zero probability of occurring in the preindustrial climate. (emphasis – mine)

      Bottom line: most thinking people no longer trust experts, especially those who have lied to us for nearly half a century. Even if they’re eventually proved right, (and that’s a BIG if) it’ll be long after you and I are gone. In any event, I have to agree with Casper on this (I know, right?) Mankind has to adapt (and we will) to changing conditions. When wealthy people of all political persuasions (but especially people like Barack Obama) stop buying and building mansions on the ocean, it’ll be time to sit up and take notice.
