Sleepy Joe’s Sundown Campaign

Posted on | September 24, 2020 | Comments Off on Sleepy Joe’s Sundown Campaign

 

I should be careful not to praise Michael Brendan Dougherty too much. He’s probably as close to a full-blown paleoconservative as they allow to write for National Review these days. Twice (in 2007 and again in 2017), Dougherty wrote about the late Sam Francis in ways that could be described as laudatory, and you don’t get more paleo than Sam. So if Dougherty is secretly reading VDare or American Renaissance, I wouldn’t want to “out” him as part of the Shadowy Far-Right Cabal. Next thing you know, there’d be an “exposé” by Oliver Darcy or Lachlan Markay and then Dougherty would be hate-listed by the SPLC.

Dougherty is very smart, however, so he’s probably covered his tracks well enough that even my praising him won’t lead to any career-shatttering scandal. and he’s got this nice piece today about how Joe Biden’s campaign is nearly non-existent:

[T]he distress signals are coming from the New York Times now. It’s not exactly about his health, but about the tortoise-like pace and manner of the campaign. In those pages, Mark Leibovich compared the Biden campaign to pandemic-era NFL games: “quiet, eerie and almost entirely fan-free.”
Leibovich gives ample space to the Biden campaign’s rationalization: The minimal event schedule is a sign that Joe Biden cares about his supporters, whereas we’re to suppose Trump rallies are nihilistic festivals of death, in which the MAGA-freaks aspirate and palpate each other in the hopes of joining Herman Cain in the Trump Taj Mahal in the skies.
But then Leibovich adds this:

Still, Mr. Biden’s minimal footprint on the ground tends to stoke anxiety among Democrats that their vehicle for defeating the president has a deficit in effort and enthusiasm, especially compared with an opponent whose big-splash approach (boat flotillas, fully resumed campaign events) is anything but reluctant.

By the tentative prose standards of the New York Times, this is a Civil Defense Siren blaring through a bonfire sending smoke signals, “S.O.S.” With polls tightening in Arizona and Florida you can feel nerves starting to jangle.
If Biden blows it, the basement-campaign strategy will look like an obvious culprit in his defeat. Usually, a party tries to avoid making the same mistakes that recent losing campaigns made. But Biden’s operation seems to be leaning into dangers that should be obvious.

First of all, does anyone believe the polls? I mean, when Dougherty describes “polls tightening in Arizona and Florida,” I figure both those states must be solidly for Trump. If there is even a hint of doubt from the Biden campaign about any state, I count it as solid “red.”

Maybe I’m overconfident, but what’s the alternative? To actually believe that Biden is leading in North Carolina? That even Georgia and Texas might be “in play”? That’s either (a) complete and utter bullshit, or (b) proof that the American constitutional republic is irreversibly doomed. If Biden is even close in Texas, all hope of the future is lost. So my hunch is that the truth is (b) and the polls are all bullshit.

Ace of Spades has a good summary of the polls-are-bullshit evidence. One of the things you have to do, when evaluating a poll, is to look past the topline number and get into the results of demographic subgroups — white, black, Hispanic, etc. How do those smaller subsets compare to anything observable in the real world? Ace points to a recent national poll that showed Biden leading by 5 points but which showed a Dem/GOP skew of 12.5% in the sample, whereas 2016 had only a 4% skew. So basically, this poll has an 8.5% oversample of Democrats. If you take that into consideration, you might guess that Biden is actually trailing by 3 points nationally, which would not be surprising in the least. Biden is actually a weaker candidate than Hillary was, even if his negatives aren’t as high as hers were. When you see egregious misrepresentations like that in one poll, you realize that other polls showing similar topline results must be similarly skewed. Meanwhile, Ace finds support for his theory “that Biden’s events are suspiciously small and unpublicized to make it very easy for him to cancel them if his brain is having a not-so-fresh feeling,” quoting Charles C.W. Cooke:

As of late, Biden’s team has regularly put a “lid” on his day by noon — or even earlier. And, when it does not, the events that Biden attends seem to have been designed to be either easily cancelable or easily replaceable. Were President Trump to cancel a rally, he would be unable to hide it. This is not true of the events on Biden’s schedule . . .
Those with suspicious minds have started to wonder if there is something wrong with Biden. Perhaps he is unable to work every day? Perhaps his schedule needs to be set up in such a way as it can be amended without notice?

So, according to this theory, Biden has his good days and his bad days, like any patient in the downhill slide into senile dementia. Because there are some days where Biden is completely out of it — a blank-eyed zombie — his campaign can’t schedule in advance the kind of major public events that presidential candidates usually do. Instead, they schedule micro-events that can be canceled or rescheduled at short notice.

Tonight, Trump spoke at a gigantic rally in Jacksonville, Florida, while Joe Biden was still stuck in his Delaware basement, eating a warm bowl of stew and trying to remember what he ate for breakfast.

Hazards of the Trade

Posted on | September 24, 2020 | 2 Comments

Earlier today, I mentioned that Shelby Talcott of the Daily Caller had apparently been arrested while covering the Louisville riot, now it turns out she wasn’t the only one who got the cuffs:

Two Daily Caller reporters were arrested as part of a mass detention during the Louisville riots.
Shelby Talcott and Jorge Ventura were covering the riots when police surrounded the group and made everyone get on the ground. A video showed police detaining several people and putting them in zip-tie handcuffs. Talcott and Ventura were arrested despite identifying themselves as press.
Daily Caller Editor-In-Chief Geoffrey Ingersoll notified the Louisville Metro Police Department that Talcott and Ventura were working as members of the press when they were arrested.
The Louisville Department of Corrections told Ingersoll that Talcott and Ventura would be processed and charged like the rest of the people who were arrested. They both will be charged with two misdemeanors related to breaking curfew and unlawful assembly, the Department of Corrections said, for their alleged failure to disperse and go to the press’ “observation area.”
The mass detention came after a chaotic night where two police officers were shot. An unlawful assembly was declared as rioters set multiple fires around the city and broke glass windows.

By the way, I completely endorse these arrests. Let me explain.

Hunter S. Thompson got tear-gassed while covering the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It’s a hazard of the trade. If you’re a combat correspondent in a war zone, you might get bombed. If you’re a reporter covering a riot, you might get arrested.

The city of Louisville declared a 9 p.m. curfew Wednesday, and anybody caught on the street after that time was subject to arrest. As it was, the Mostly Peaceful™ Protesters were allowed to stay on the streets well past the curfew hour. By the time Talcott and Ventura got arrested, there were only a few dozen people still protesting and, considering that two cops had already been shot, you can’t blame police if they decided, “OK, enough play time, kids — everybody is going to jail.”

“But Stacy,” you say, “they were reporters!”

So? There were probably a lot of Antifa scumbags in that crowd who could have claimed to be “journalists” of one sort or another. Basically anybody with a Twitter account could claim they were just “reporting” on the riots, and defy a police order to disperse the unlawful assembly.

The law is the law, in other words, and if the Daily Caller wants to object to cops enforcing the law, they can spend the money to hire a lawyer and fight these charges in court. But I hope not.

Just pay the fine. Consider it a tax-deductible business expense.

(P.S.: Shelby Talcott is way too cute to be Antifa, but the cops can’t make a Pretty Girl Exception to the laws, because then they would be accused of unconstitutional discrimination against ugly chicks.)

Mostly Peaceful™ Protesters Shoot Two Police Officers in Louisville Riot

Posted on | September 24, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

This is actually good news, relatively speaking. When I saw the mob unpacking riot supplies from a U-Haul truck (allegedly supplied by Soros-funded radical Holly Zoller), my thought was, “Uh-oh. This is gonna be bad.” Fortunately, Louisville is not Portland. There are about 120,000 black people in Louisville, but the protest mob — at least half of whom were white — was never more than a few hundred people.

Whatever the public opinion about the Breonna Taylor case in Louisville, the vast majority of residents there clearly do not support the radical cop-hating mob, and so the city didn’t burn down Wednesday night. The cops maintained a perimeter and, when the protesters did not disperse after the 9 p.m. curfew, they arrested everybody (apparently including Daily Caller reporter Shelby Talcott). All in all, the situation in Louisville was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

For me the most disturbing moment of the night — I mean, besides the two cops getting shot — was when I briefly watched CNN and had to listen to Ben Crump run his mouth for a couple of minutes.

If any sociologist is interested in researching the cause of racism in America, there it is — Ben Crump. I defy any white person to listen to Ben Crump for two minutes without having racist thoughts. The very idea that some college gave this fool a law degree? That’s got to be worth a few thousand recruits a year for the neo-Nazis. Meanwhile . . .

Organized hatred is a frightening thing to behold, and no one can blame Americans for being terrified by what happened Wednesday in Louisville. After it was announced that a grand jury had indicted only one of the police officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, an angry mob began shouting threats punctuated with obscenities. “We didn’t get it! Burn it down!” was one of the threats. Another voice in the protest mob was still more specific, shouting at police: “All y’all get ready to f***ing die!”
There followed the inevitable confrontations between police and the “mostly peaceful” protesters, who engaged in vandalism and arson. By 8:30 p.m., Louisville police reported that one officer had been shot in a confusing scene on East Broadway near the Interstate 65 overpass. Subsequently, it was reported that two officers had been shot, which perhaps the #BlackLivesMatter (BLM) movement will consider adequate to satisfy their slogan of “Justice for Breonna.” . . .

Louisville Democrat Mob: ‘Burn It Down’ After #BreonnaTaylor Grand Jury Ruling

Posted on | September 23, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

The Mostly Peaceful™ Protesters didn’t wait for dark to start breaking windows in Louisville, and I expect it to get much worse after nightfall:

Protesters vowed Wednesday to continue their fight for racial justice after learning that just one of three Louisville Metro Police officers who shot into Breonna Taylor’s apartment will be criminally charged in her death.
In an afternoon announcement, Jefferson County Judge Annie O’Connell said a Jefferson County grand jury has indicted former detective Brett Hankison on three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
The grand jury declined to bring charges against Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and detective Myles Cosgrove, who were also involved in the March 13 shooting at Taylor’s south Louisville apartment. . . .
Louisville police had set up a 25-block perimeter downtown, and protesters walked straight out of the area. . . .
A crowd of about 300 continued to march down Kentucky Street, stopping once to reorganize. Some people made phone calls asking others to join.
Chants included: “Keep going” and “If we don’t get (Justice), burn it down” before the group turned right onto Shelby Street. . . .
The march reached Bardstown Road at about 3:30 p.m. and began moving south down the usually busy street lined with local businesses. A few people came outside businesses to raise their fists in support of the protesters. Others were seen locking the doors to their storefronts. At least one window was smashed. . . .
LMPD officers, who had been following protesters at the front and back of the march, lined up on Bardstown Road to block the crowd from moving any further. . . .
Immediately following the confrontation with police on Bardstown Road, multiple protesters were arrested, though it’s not clear how many.
About 75 police officers in riot gear remained on the street and taped off part of the road, blocking off Bardstown entirely a few blocks from its intersection with Cherokee Parkway.

Looking at the map of Louisville, I don’t know why the protest march would be headed that direction. Was there some site they aimed to reach? Cherokee Parkway goes north to I-65, and maybe the police roadblock was intended to keep the mob off the Interstate. Here’s a quote:

“People are heartbroken, and they’re pissed the f*** off, and I am too,” protester Logan Cleaver said. “Of course I hope that people get home safe and they can get home to their families at night, but I know people are mad, and they want s**t f*****d up. And to be honest, this place should burn tonight, tomorrow night and the night after.”

That’s your Democratic Party 2020 platform.

‘The New Zeroeth Amendment’ and the Predictable Death of Dijon Kizzee

Posted on | September 23, 2020 | Comments Off on ‘The New Zeroeth Amendment’ and the Predictable Death of Dijon Kizzee

 

If your life’s ambition is to die in a hail of police gunfire and become a martyr for the #BlackLivesMatter movement, Dijon Kizzee is an admirable role model. The media’s role in the BLM movement is to create and sustain martyrdom myths by obscuring certain crucial facts involved in the deaths of the criminals they elevate to secular sainthood. Thus, in headlines, Dijon Kizzee becomes an “L.A. cyclist,” as if he was killed — murdered by police! — for the crime of riding a bicycle while black. Anyone disputing that false narrative is then condemned as a racist.

What you will not be told — what the CNN coverage will deliberately avoid telling you — is that Dijon Kizzee was a convicted felon who had been in and out of prison for years, that he was under a restraining order at the time of his death, and that he was carrying a stolen pistol when he encountered police who sought to question him.

Liberals are always telling us how we need “common sense” gun-control laws to “keep guns off the streets.” One such law is the prohibition of felons possessing firearms. Is there any Democrat who wishes to argue that it’s OK for convicted felons to carry loaded pistols? No, of course not. But whenever cops try to arrest felons for violating such laws, we are subjected to lectures about “systemic racism” when the criminal resists arrest and, predictably, dies in a hail of police gunfire.

Let’s start with the facts, which are buried deep in a Los Angeles Times feature profile of Saint Dijon of the Blessed Bicycle:

He was convicted for various crimes in L.A. and Kern counties over the last decade and served two terms in state prison totaling more than a year between 2016 and 2019, according to officials. The prison terms related to charges including evading or attempting to evade a peace officer while driving recklessly, as well as possession of a firearm by a felon or addict.

That’s the 14th paragraph of a 29-paragraph story. You see that Kizzee was well aware that it was illegal for him to possess firearms. If the cops caught him with a gun, he was going back to prison. So when he came in contact with the police on Aug. 31, Kizzee resisted arrest and was shot, police say, when he reached for the pistol.

We may surmise that the reason he was riding a bicycle Aug. 31 wasn’t because he was seeking the cardiovascular benefits of exercise, but rather because his history of reckless driving meant that he didn’t have a driver’s license. The media wish us to believe “systemic racism” caused Kizzee’s death; therefore, his criminal record is buried in the 14th paragraph of the L.A. Times story, and not even mentioned on CNN, which will never have a panel discussion about how cops are supposed to keep guns off the streets — a goal that liberals say they support — if “activists” organize a riot every time cops try to arrest anyone who isn’t white.

Steve Sailer described this last month during the Kenosha riots:

Egged on by Joe Biden and Wisconsin governor Tony Evers, a mob of Black Lives Matter rioters has been burning down Kenosha, Wis. They are angry over the latest police shooting of yet another black criminal who assumed he is racially entitled to resist arrest.
The new Zeroth Amendment to the Constitution reads “No Black man must submit to being arrested if He’s really not in the mood to be arrested.” . . .
One of the matters the cops may have wished to speak to [Jacob] Blake about was his open warrant for felony sexual assault. But in 2020, if he’s not interested, a Black man doesn’t have to discuss his warrant with nobody.
So, Blake fell to brawling with the police. Eventually he was tased, but without apparent effect. When he got up, a policeman pointed his gun at the 29-year-old security guard to encourage him to desist. But instead of complying, he strode around to the driver’s side of his vehicle, as the police shouted to him to “Drop the knife!” He opened the door and reached in, at which point the cop grabbing his shirt shot him seven times.

Sailer then makes reference to Blake’s 2015 charge of resisting arrest after he brandished a pistol in a Racine bar. The charges were dropped in that case, apparently because witnesses were uncooperative, but you see Sailer’s point about “the new Zeroeth Amendment.”

If someone like Blake cannot be arrested — he was violating a restraining order and terrorizing the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her — then who, exactly, are police allowed to arrest? Are only white people subject to arrest in 21st-century America? You can talk all you want about the need for “criminal justice reform,” but the real goal of the BLM movement is to make it practically impossible to arrest anyone who is black, no matter what crimes they may have committed.

This is what happens when you elect Democrats. No one who actually wants to reduce crime would ever vote for Democrats, who rely on the votes of criminals — that’s why Mike Bloomberg is paying the fines of convicted felons in Florida — in order to win elections.

Crazy People Are Dangerous: Meet Canada’s Version of Deborah Frisch

Posted on | September 22, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

A lunatic foreigner who got herself deported:

Pascale Ferrier is a 53-year-old Canadian woman who was arrested in connection with a letter containing ricin that was sent to President Donald Trump last week, CBC reported. She was a computer programmer and had previously been arrested in Mission, Texas, while living in the United States. Authorities said additional, connected letters might have been sent to law enforcement in Texas.
Ferrier was arrested when she tried to cross into the United States from Canada near Buffalo, New York, according to the CBC. She is being held in custody in New York, and court records show charges have not been filed against her yet. . . .
An unnamed source familiar with the investigation told CNN that the letter had a substance with physical characteristics similar to ground castor beans, and the letter was mailed from Saint-Hubert, Quebec. On Monday, CBC reported that Royal Canadian Mounted Police were searching a condo on Montreal’s South Shore in Saint-Hubert. The Journal de Montreal reported that she had only lived at the residence for a few months.
Ferrier was carrying a gun when she was arrested, CNN reported. She was trying to cross the border from Fort Erie, Ontario, into Buffalo, New York, via the Peace Bridge when Customs and Border Protection agents took her into custody, NBC News reported. . . .
Ferrier had been living in Texas when she was deported to Canada last year. She was arrested in Mission, Texas, in March 2019 for carrying an unlicensed weapon and a fake driver’s license and resisting arrest, The New York Times reported.
Her arrest record from 2019 shows that she was arrested by the Mission Police Department on March 12, 2019, and released on May 18, 2019. KRGV confirmed the arrest, noting that the Hidalgo County District Attorney’s Office had filed a motion to dismiss the charges because it was her first offense and she had spent 20 days in jail. She was jailed for more than two months before she was released.
Officials learned that she had overstayed a 6-month visa and her arrest had violated the terms of her passport. She was deported back to Canada, The New York Times reported.

Ace shares this astute observation:

These people rank very low in the category of “Conforms to Gender Expectations.”
As I said earlier, leftism is a cult created to provide scapegoats and hate-objects for the mentally ill, the failures, the ugly and the unemployable and the unmarriagiable.

In case you don’t know who Deborah Frisch is, she is a former University of Oregon psychology professor who turned into an Internet stalker, and last time I checked was in a Colorado penitentiary. Dr. Frisch ranked rather low in “Conforms to Gender Expectations,” although not as low as this crazed gun-toting Canadian ricin-mailer.
