Pat Buchanan Nails It

Posted on | December 8, 2019 | Comments Off on Pat Buchanan Nails It

You just need to go read this column. Years ago (it was around the time of the Iraq War, as I recall), William F. Buckley Jr. wrote a column in which he declared that it was no longer possible to defend Patrick J. Buchanan against accusations of anti-Semitism. Buckley’s mastery of forensic method is not to be disputed, but the targeting of Buchanan is an example of the “urge to purge” that has so often damaged the conservative cause. Buchanan’s decades of loyal service to the Republican Party — he was a key adviser to both Nixon and Reagan — ought to have entitled him to a certain amount of deference, even from such an eminent figure as Buckley, and as I’ve often said, you cannot build a successful movement by a process of subtraction. When the conservative movement was on the upswing in the 1960s, it’s understandable why Buckley felt a need to repudiate the John Birch Society. Since the end of the Reagan presidency, however, we have seen the emergence of division between the leadership of the movement and the rank and file. Buchanan has always represented the populist side of conservatism and if, in channeling the spirit of the disgruntled masses, he has been guilty of playing footsie with Jew-haters, this is a grievous fault, and grievously hath Buchanan answered it. His value as an analyst and strategist is undiminished by his faults, however.

Buchanan has the old-fashioned idea that politics is about people — identify the key voter groups, determine what interests motivate them, and from this process you can find a way to engage and persuade them. Buchanan is credited with coining the phrase “Silent Majority” to describe the middle- and working-class Americans who were weary of the chaotic turmoil of the 1960s, and he offers similar insights in analyzing developments in the Democratic Party coalition leading up to 2020:

The “diversity is our strength!” party is starting to look rather monochromatic in its upper echelons these days.
The four leading candidates for its presidential nomination — Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg — are all white.
The six candidates who have qualified for the December 19 debate—the front four, plus Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer—are all white.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer are both white, as are Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Whip Dick Durbin.
The chairs of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees managing impeachment, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, are both white. And as Congressman Al Green noted Wednesday, all three experts Nadler invited to make the Democrats’ case for impeachment were white law professors. How come?
Absent affirmative action by the DNC, neither Cory Booker, the leading black candidate for the nomination, nor Julian Castro, the leading Hispanic, will be on the stage December 19. . . .
African Americans are a bedrock constituency of the Democratic Party. In recent presidential elections, they have voted 90 percent for the party’s nominee, and even higher for Barack Obama.
How is Mayor Pete doing with this constituency?
While running first in some polls in Iowa, his share of the African-American vote in South Carolina, in a recent poll, was zero. Buttigieg had no black support in a state where African Americans constitute more than 60 percent of the Democratic vote. . . .

Read the whole thing. There is an obvious disconnect between what the Democrats say they stand for and what they actually do. If you were paying attention to Kamala Harris’s supporters the past couple of weeks, you know that (b) they feel she has been cheated by the process, and (b) they hate Pete Buttigieg with the heat of ten thousand suns. All the Hollywood money pouring into Buttigieg’s coffers is an ill omen for Democrats — their elite have lost touch with the party base, much like happened to the GOP in 2012, when the Republican establishment backed Mitt Romney over the protests of the Tea Party grassroots.

So now Democrats have the #PrimarySoWhite for a party whose most loyal constituents are “people of color,” and this does not bode well for their effort to defeat Trump next year.

FBI Probes Belgian Terrorist Threat

Posted on | December 7, 2019 | Comments Off on FBI Probes Belgian Terrorist Threat

 

As I’ve previously explained, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs first alerted America to the danger of Belgian extremists, and whenever The Flemish Menace™ makes another terrorist attack, it’s important to give Charles credit. Consider the latest news from Pensacola:

The F.B.I. was investigating but did not confirm a report that the Saudi trainee had watched videos of mass shootings at a dinner party sometime this week, according to a senior American official who was briefed on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly.
The gunman, who killed three people and injured eight others, did not have any apparent ties to international terrorist groups and appeared to have radicalized on his own, according to the official.
The gunman, identified as Second Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, was killed by a sheriff’s deputy who responded to the attack. Lieutenant Alshamrani was training to become a pilot and initially entered the United States in 2018, according to the official. But at some point Lieutenant Alshamrani returned to Saudi Arabia and then re-entered the United States in February 2019, the official said. . . .

OK, they haven’t gotten to the part about the Belgian connection yet, but I’m sure if we keep reading, everything will become apparent:

Six other Saudi nationals were detained for questioning near the scene of the shooting, which took place over two floors in a classroom on the base. Three of the Saudis who were detained had been seen filming the entire incident, according to another person briefed on the investigation.
It was not known whether the six Saudis detained were students in the classroom building, and there was no immediate indication that those filming the incident were connected to the gunman, the person said. . . .

Seriously, there must be a Belgian angle to this, although the motive is apparently still mysterious to these New York Times reporters:

Investigators were trying to determine what motivated the gunman.
Senator Rick Scott, Republican of Florida, and Representative Matt Gaetz, a Republican whose district includes Pensacola, both described the shooting as an act of terrorism.

(Of course, these Republicans are RAAAAACIST!)

But federal law enforcement officials said it was too early to establish the gunman’s motive.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist activity, cited a Twitter account with a name matching the gunman that had posted a “will” calling the United States a “nation of evil” and criticizing its support for Israel.

(Because we know how much Belgians hate the Jews.)

SITE said the account had also quoted Osama bin Laden, the former Qaeda leader, and was critical of United States foreign policy.
“I’m not against you for just being American,” the posts said. “I don’t hate you because your freedoms, I hate you because every day you supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims Belgians but also humanity.”

(Obviously a typographical error, which I’ve corrected.)

The account could not be independently verified, and law enforcement officials did not confirm that it was connected to the gunman.
The gunman was a member of the Saudi Air Force.
The lieutenant was a trainee with the Saudi Air Force. Saudi pilots have trained at the Pensacola base since 1995.
The gunman used a locally purchased Glock 45 9-millimeter handgun with an extended magazine and had four to six other magazines in his possession, according to one of the people briefed on the investigation.

Remember, you should always trust the FBI:

During a news conference Friday night, the FBI declined to release the shooter’s identity and wouldn’t comment on his possible motivations.
“There are many reports circulating, but the FBI deals only in facts,” said Rachel L. Rojas, the FBI’s special agent in charge of the Jacksonville Field Office.

Well, I think we’ve got enough information now to know the gunman’s motive, despite the reluctance of federal officials and the New York Times to jump to any hasty conclusions. Charles Johnson and his LGF readers all understand that Belgian crypto-Nazis are to blame.

The Impeachment Circus Continues, But Does Any Sane Person Actually Care?

Posted on | December 7, 2019 | Comments Off on The Impeachment Circus Continues, But Does Any Sane Person Actually Care?

 

I’ve spent the past week ignoring the impeachment circus, but did you know that “the Trump campaign took in $15 million in small-dollar donations in the first three days after Pelosi announced the inquiry”? Did you know that Trump’s approval rating has gone up since the Shifty Schiff UkraineGate hearings began last month? Not to dismiss the seriousness of all this — the fact that Nancy Pelosi believes she has a mandate for impeachment is disturbing, even if you think it’s absurd — but it is difficult to see how this is going to be anything other than a political catastrophe for Democrats. And CNN, but I repeat myself:

If Democrats and their media allies thought that the impeachment of President Trump would be his undoing, I’ve got bad news for them: it’s actually undoing them. The Democrats’ favorite (fake) news channel CNN is suffering from a three-year low in ratings.
According to Disrn, CNN “reached a three-year low in ratings over the Thanksgiving holidays, averaging 643,000 primetime viewers. The news outlet also saw its worst week for viewers among the 25-43 demographic.” In that group, CNN only pulled 138,000 viewers. That’s pathetic.
Fox News, on the other hand, “posted higher ratings than CNN and MSNBC combined, averaging nearly 2.2 million viewers during primetime last week. The network also pulled in 303,000 viewers ages 25 to 54,” which is the most important target group for advertisers.
In other words, Fox News is utterly and completely destroying the competition. Now, there’s nothing new about that in itself, but what is new is CNN’s complete and utter irrelevance in the news world. If you’re thinking to yourself, “CNN? I never watch it!”, you’re not only talking for yourself but for just about every single American. There’s literally just about nobody watching any of its programs — let alone those scheduled outside of primetime.

(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) To have an audience of less than 700,000 viewers, in a nation of 325 million, in the midst of what the media keep calling a “historic” impeachment proceeding — well, look up the word “pathetic” in the dictionary and you’ll find it illustrated with a photo of Don Lemon.

Look, I hate to break it to King Creole‘s viewers — whoever they are, trapped in an airport somewhere — but most Americans don’t give a crap about U.S. policy toward Ukraine, and most Americans are also smart enough to figure out that Hunter Biden never would have gotten that Burisma gig if his name had been “Hunter Smith” or “Hunter Jones.”

With Cocaine Mitch running the Senate, there is no way this impeachment will result in President Trump’s removal from office, so that the American people will decide the issue next November, and who are the Democrats going to nominate against him? Not Kamala Harris — because Democrats are racist sexists who hate black women.

If I were asked to wager on the Democrat nomination, my money would be on Elizabeth Warren, the fake Cherokee Harvard professor, and if you think working-class voters in Wisconsin are going to dump Trump to elect Warren, you need to turn off MSNBC, sit down and contemplate how you’ve reached this nadir of bleak desperation.

His Name Was Mohammed Alshamrani

Posted on | December 6, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

If I had to guess, I’d say he’s probably from Belgium:

Four people are dead including the suspect after an active shooting incident at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida, police said.
The shooter was identified as Mohammed Alshamrani, a Saudi national [oops, I guessed wrong — RSM] and member of the country’s air force who was in the U.S. for flight training, law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation told ABC News. Investigators are trying to determine whether the shooting was terror-related, the officials said.
Authorities responded to reports of a shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola at 6:51 a.m. on Friday, officials said. ATF and FBI also responded to the scene.
The shooting took place at one of the classroom buildings on the base, officials said. Officers with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene and fatally shot the suspect after exchanging gunfire.
Three people, including the shooter, were pronounced dead on scene, police said. One victim was taken to the hospital and died from injuries.
Eight others injured in the shooting were transported to Baptist Hospital, police said. . . .
During his roundtable on small business and red tape reduction accomplishments on Friday, President Donald Trump sent his condolences to families of the “warriors” killed and spoke about his call with the King of Saudi Arabia.
“I can tell you it’s a horrible thing that took place and we’re getting to the bottom on it,” Trump said. “All of the investigators are there now and they’re studying it very closely and terrible thing, and our condolences to the families.”

Y’know, if this shooter had been some kind of white nationalist alt-right extremist, CNN would be 24/7 on this story all weekend, and every liberal blog would be blaming Trump for this terrorist act. Instead what you will see is that the mainstream media and liberal bloggers will quickly bury this story, except perhaps to call out “right-wingers” as “racists” for daring to suggest that some Muslims might be dangerous.

Aniah Blanchard Murder Suspect Blames His Victim: Teenager ‘Went for the Gun’

Posted on | December 6, 2019 | Comments Off on Aniah Blanchard Murder Suspect Blames His Victim: Teenager ‘Went for the Gun’

 

This should make everyone extremely angry:

Alabama college student Aniah Blanchard apparently fought back against accused killer Ibraheem Yazeed, according to court records made public Wednesday.
Capital murder charges against Yazeed were announced last week and in an affidavit supporting those charges, an investigator said Yazeed told an acquaintance he shot Blanchard and she “went for the gun.”
Blanchard, 19, was abducted in October outside an Auburn convenience store and was found dead more than a month later in rural Macon County woods. The cause of Blanchard’s death was a gunshot wound, said Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes in announcing the upgraded charges against Yazeed. . . .
Blanchard was last seen by a family member on the evening of Oct. 23 at an Auburn residence. Her mother, Angela Harris, has said her daughter then stopped at the convenience store to buy potato chips.
Video evidence from the convenience store at 1599 South College Street put Blanchard and Yazeed there at the same time. A witness later told police he saw Yazeed interacting with Blanchard near her vehicle in front of the store and later forcing Blanchard into her vehicle against her will. . . .
Further video evidence from a separate gas station in Auburn showed Yazeed exiting the passenger side of Blanchard’s vehicle and later re-entering the vehicle. Her Honda CRV was last seen traveling south on South College Street toward the interstate.
Police recovered the teen’s black SUV from an apartment complex on the 6100 block of Boardwalk Boulevard in Montgomery around 6:15 p.m. the following evening . . .
Blood evidence was discovered in the passenger’s compartment of the vehicle and was “indicative of someone suffering a life-threatening injury.” The evidence was submitted to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences and confirmed to be that of Blanchard.
The affidavit said a person was located who told them Yazeed was next seen at a residence in Montgomery wearing only shorts, with a gun tucked into the shorts. That person said Yazeed was in possession of Blanchard’s vehicle, however, he did not see Blanchard.
“The subject further advised during a subsequent conversation with Yazeed, Yazeed admitted to shooting a girl and stated the girl ‘went for the gun,’’’ Det. Josh Mixon wrote.
Blanchard’s remains were found Monday, Nov. 25, during a search in the 38000 block of County Road 2 in Shorter. Authorities have not announced what led that to that area.
Yazeed was formally served with the capital murder warrants this week. Hughes said his office will seek the death penalty.

Look, I wouldn’t give $0.02 for the word of a career criminal like Ibrahim Yazeed. Every criminal should be presumed to be a liar, because if he was capable of honesty, he wouldn’t be a criminal. So the fact that Yazeed told someone that Blanchard “went for the gun” means nothing. He might have shot her execution-style and just made up this story as an excuse for his crime. But no one knowledgeable about criminal behavior would believe something like that, based solely on the perp’s word.

Aniah Blanchard (front center) with her family.

Yazeed has the kind of lengthy record of criminal violence that indicates he has never even tried to earn a living honestly, and the question is why authorities in Alabama failed to keep him incarcerated, since Yazeed was a known menace to public safety so long as he was on the streets.

Murderers usually do not begin their criminal careers with murder. That is to say, by the time a perpetrator’s violent tendencies escalate to murder, he has usually been involved in crime for many years. Over and over, we see the same story repeated: Small-time crook with an extensive record of arrests — drugs, burglary, car theft, sex offenses, etc. — plea bargains, probation, maybe a year or two in prison here or there, but always turned loose, and always re-offending. Somehow, no one in the system ever figures out that this lifelong criminal can never be reformed, and that the best interests of the public would be served by putting him in prison, if not for for life, at least until he’s too old to be an effective criminal. How much will it cost taxpayers to put Ibrahim Yazeed on trial? How many years, and how many appeals, will it take before he is finally put to death? Gosh, I wonder what would happen if jail officials were to put Yazeed in general population. Maybe one of his fellow inmates would decide to save the taxpayers a lot of money, time and trouble.

There’s no Supreme Court appeal for a shank under the fifth rib.

The Total Florida Woman Story

Posted on | December 6, 2019 | 1 Comment

Tory Ojedas and her four polyamorous partners.

Whenever you’re in search of weird news, Florida is always there:

A polyamorous woman has fallen pregnant by one of her four partners after they went away together — but says they will raise the baby as a ‘family’.
Tory Ojeda, 20, from Jacksonville, Florida, met one of her partners Marc, 18, in high school and then started a relationship with Travis, 23, two months later.
Their love story began three years ago and she has since announced her engagement to Travis in July.
She also found love with their long-term mutual friends Ethan, 22, and Christopher, 22. While seven months ago, Tory and Chris found out that they were pregnant with a baby girl.

OK, so just to make sure we’re clear here: Tory is engaged to Travis, but Christopher is (allegedly) the father of her child.

Tory says Christopher is the father of her baby.

Tory is engaged to Travis.

The two other geeks, Marc and Ethan, are apparently just there as pinch-hitters in the batting rotation, but let’s return to the pathetic story:

Despite being in an open relationship, Tory is currently the only one who has multiple romantic partners.
However she says that her boyfriends are ‘welcome’ to pursue other people if they wish to — she even encourages the idea. Tory said: ‘Honestly, I would love it if somebody found a second partner.
‘Dividing time and figuring out schedules between all five people and making sure everyone feels included, it’s kind of difficult.
‘I’d like to not be the only woman in the relationship. That would definitely be nice.’

Sweetheart, I’m looking at the quality of guys in your crew and not the least bit surprised that none of them can score any other action. You’re a regular angel of mercy, operating a sort of charity clinic for losers. You could probably qualify for 501(c)3 status, honestly. Anyway . . .

They all have their own bedrooms but her partners ‘swap in and out’ of her bed each night, making sure each of them gets an ‘equal turn’ in spending the night with Tory.
On the issue of jealousy, Ethan said: ‘There are a couple of healthy ways to deal with it. Primarily just talking to each other.’
Travis added: ‘There’s always going to be like little moments of jealousy, it does take a certain amount of restraint and just getting relaxed. I will say it helps if you know the person.’
Reflecting on his own experiences in his current relationship, he said: ‘Seeing [Tory] with Ethan was a lot easier because I was friends with him.
‘Her and Chris was a bit dicier at first, there was a lot more jealousy and I’ll openly admit that. The same goes for Marc because I’d never interacted with them.’
Seven months ago, Tory found out that she was pregnant with a baby girl who they will welcome into their unconventional family in February.
‘Chris is the biological father. We just know that because of timing and when the approximate conception date was,’ Tory explained.
‘Based off of the approximate conception day, we had been on vacation. So it was only us.
‘But as far as I guess, socially goes, we’re all raising the baby together, so everyone’s dad.
‘We’re all very, very excited to be raising a baby together.’ . . .
Tory said: ‘Most of my friends know all my partners and they love us and think that we’re cute and such. My family is kind of quiet about their disapproval. Polyamory is definitely an uncommon thing.
‘A lot of people have grown up in monogamy culture of, you don’t really love someone if you have eyes for somebody else.’
Christopher added: ‘My family is slowly coming around to the idea. The pregnancy has helped with that. But at the very beginning, I know my mother and father were hesitant about it.
‘Her main concern was that she didn’t like the idea of me having a partner who was not fulfilled with me alone.’
However Ethan’s family are ‘very active’ in their support, along with Tory’s older brother, Alistair.
Alistair said: ‘I will admit that since I’m her older brother, that I just have that tendency I suppose to be protective.
‘I’m more so concerned that she’s happy, that she is in a relationship where they both love each other mutually or in this case more people love each other mutually.
‘I don’t see anything wrong with Tory’s relationship.’

Sir, your sister is a whore. I don’t know how else to say it. Her behavior is disgraceful, a mark of shame on your entire family. Your parents didn’t raise you right. Do you have no self-respect at all? How can you approve of your sister shacking up with these subnormal perverts?

But oh, we’re supposed to be non-judgmental about this arrangement:

After having to overcome judgement in public spaces, Tory hopes that she will eventually see more acceptance of polyamory in wider society. ‘We definitely get weird looks,’ she said.
‘I’ve had people just say rude comments when we’ve just been hanging out at a fast food place. I’ve been called a hoe more than once.
‘Maybe in our future, we might see it become a common thing where people don’t bat an eye on it anymore at all. One can hope.’

See, once the Supreme Court decided (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003) that Americans have a constitutional “right” to homosexuality, it was certain that every other variety of sexual perversion would seek “more acceptance . . . in wider society.” If sodomy can be the basis of “marriage,” and everyone can be required to applaud homosexuality (you don’t dare disapprove, or they’ll sue you), who can object to four men and a woman?

They told us there was no “slippery slope,” but how did get here? Tory is taking turns with four different guys, engaged to one and pregnant by another, and she hopes “we might see it become a common thing,” as if this insanity could be the basis of a civilization.

Am I the only one who feels as if we’re living in a dystopian novel?
