We’re all familiar by now with the Japanese tendency to seize on some aspect of American culture and go nuts over it, but I never dreamed that Texaboos existed, and certainly not in enough numbers to support Western bars in Japan. Yet, there they are, and as we can see from today’s appetizer, Japanese girls look downright cute in their Daisy Dukes & tied-off shirts. (H/T fellow man of culture Iroh on X)
This post is a day late because of yesterday’s snow, which tired me out to the point where I only had enough energy to deal with the FMJRA. Streets look a lot clearer today.

I blame California for all the wretched white stuff that fell out of the sky and made the commute from Carson City out to Dayton & Back absolutely miserable. Fortunately, most of my clients today lived very close to the office, so I wasn’t just twiddling my thumbs for five hours. This nonsense is supposed to continue for a few more days. Feh.

New Form of Racism Has Been Discovered

Posted on | February 4, 2024 | Comments Off on New Form of Racism Has Been Discovered

Moving is racist, when white people do it. When a white person chooses to relocate, the consequences are racism. To understand this, you have to understand what Steve Sailer dubs “Dirt Theory”: Any geographical location where black or brown people live is “Tragic Dirt,” afflicted by poverty and violence, and the only solution to their problem is to move them to white-occupied “Magic Dirt,” where everybody is rich and all the kids have high test scores. At least, this is how liberals seem to believe the world works, and have made “Dirt Theory” the basis of their attitude on such issues as immigration. In their disordered minds, people like Harvard Professor Raj Chetty believe that analysis of geographic data about poverty, crime, etc., will yield insights about the causes of these phenomena — places matter more than people.

The latest manifestation of this belief system has now appeared in The Atlantic, prompting Sailer’s headline: “The Atlantic: Whites Use Up the Magic Dirt, Leaving Only the Tragic Dirt for Nonwhites.” The idea is that, when whites move out of suburbs — and black and brown people move in — the consequences are bad for the non-white newcomers.

Atlantic writer Alex Kotlowitz examines this remarkable advance in Dirt Theory in a review of a new book by Benjamin Herold:

Herold opens his book by visiting his hometown, a Pittsburgh suburb called Penn Hills. In many ways, the story of this particular suburb captures it all. When Herold’s family moved here in 1976, the average home price in 2020 dollars was $148,000. Now it’s $95,000. Herold knocks on a door just down the street from where he grew up, and there meets Bethany Smith, who has recently purchased the house with her mom. She’s single and Black and undaunted, raising a son, Jackson, for whom she wants the absolute best, which means finding a well-resourced, nurturing school and buying a home, an investment that will serve as a foundation to building wealth. (She’s also gotten priced out of her gentrifying neighborhood in Pittsburgh.)
But Bethany has walked into a mess of a town. Signs of wear and tear are everywhere: most notably, a collapsing sewer system and a school district that is $9 million in debt. According to Herold, the town didn’t invest in infrastructure improvements, kicking any needed repairs down the road. Financial mismanagement is everywhere. Enrollment in the schools has steeply declined. White families like Herold’s have moved out; Black families have moved in. It’s a pattern, Herold writes, repeated in suburb after suburb. . . . Herold poses the question that drives his reporting: “How are the abundant opportunities my family extracted from Penn Hills a generation earlier linked to the cratering fortunes of the families who live there now?”

See? White people “extracted resources” from these places, then moved out, leaving behind misfortune for the non-whites who moved in.

What doesn’t occur to Herold or Kotlowitz is to ask why there are so many places like this in America nowadays, ignoring the fundamental cause, i.e., the declining white birth rate. Circa 1960, most American families had three or more children, but that birth rate declined precipitously in the 1970s and has never really rebounded. Although the non-white birth rate has also declined, that decline was slower and happened later, and meanwhile the nation has added tens of millions of new immigrants, most of them non-white. So the effort at what used to be called racial integration is failing because of a shortage of white people.

This is aggravated by the way college education affects mobility. Kids who grew up in Penn Hills and other such suburbs went off to college and never came back. In general, the pattern of migration has been from north to south, and from east to west. Places like Denver, Austin and Charlotte are full of folks who moved there from up north or back east somewhere. The more money you have, the pickier you can be about where you live, and who would want to live in suburban Pittsburgh if they could live in sunny Florida? So not only are there fewer white people in Penn Hills, the ones who do still live there are less affluent than the white people who moved out. And all of this behavior is voluntary.

What really enrages liberals is that Americans are free to live however they want to live, without regard to the “social justice” consequences of their voluntary actions. Liberals can’t force you to stay where you are, or to go somewhere else, to suit their social-engineering schemes, and that’s why they hate you. You and your damned freedom — RAAAAACISTS!

No Bond for Rapist in North Carolina

Posted on | February 3, 2024 | Comments Off on No Bond for Rapist in North Carolina

“He is off the streets right now and in the jail and he shouldn’t be let out. … How many people have we seen perform murders in this town that are on electronic monitoring? Have done larceny, have done break-ins … continue to do crimes with electronic monitoring. The program has a place, but keeping violent offenders from repeating violent crimes, it doesn’t seem to happen.”
— Police Maj. Jonathan Thomas

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police spokesman was not mincing words after Santerius Allen was caught in the act of rape:

A man charged with rape in a south Charlotte sexual assault was denied bond during a court hearing on Thursday [Jan. 25].
Santerius Qwayshawn Allen, 32, is facing multiple charges in connection with an alleged attack in Ballantyne, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. The assault happened around 10 a.m. on Jan. 24 at a home on Chilvary Drive. When officers arrived, they heard screaming from inside the house.
Allen was found by officers inside the home and he was immediately taken into custody. Officers allege that Allen broke into the woman’s home through a window and sexually assaulted her. The woman’s 15-year-old daughter was home during the incident and called 911, CMPD said. The teen was not hurt.
Allen was charged with breaking and entering, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree rape, second-degree sexual offense, sexual battery and assault on a female in connection with the attack. During a court appearance Thursday, the district attorney’s office requested that Allen remain in jail without bond due to the severity of the charges and his criminal history.
The judge granted that request, and Allen was denied bond. A neighbor of the victim spoke during Thursday’s hearing and said the assault “destroyed the fabric of our community.” Allen asked to defend himself in court but was appointed a public defender by the judge. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Feb. 13.

The passing reference to Allen’s “criminal history” omits the interesting details of that history. Fortunately, being named Santerius Qwayshawn made his past crimes rather easy to find with a Google search. In 2014, at age 22, Santerius Qwayshawn Allen was wanted on a charge of felony breaking and entering when police found him in downtown Charlotte. Allen punched the officer and fled, but a police K-9 tracked him down, and the charges of resisting arrest and assaulting a government official were added. Four years later, in 2018, Santerius Qwayshawn Allen was driving a stolen 2013 Hyundai Accent in Gastonia around midnight when “officers attempted to stop the car. Allen fled from the vehicle on foot and was apprehended after a brief foot pursuit.”

What was the likelihood that this perpetrator would ever become a law-abiding citizen? I mean, he punched a cop. Shouldn’t that be considered a very serious crime, indicative of a profound hostility toward legal authority? Breaking and entering, grand theft auto, etc., and yet he kept getting turned loose until, eventually, his criminality escalated to rape, and finally now the system decides maybe turning him loose again wouldn’t be a good idea. Better late than never, I suppose.

Alvin Bragg and the Biden Agenda

Posted on | February 3, 2024 | Comments Off on Alvin Bragg and the Biden Agenda

Everybody is outraged by this story:

Four migrant men charged with felonies in an attack on two New York City Police Department officers [Jan. 27] outside a migrant shelter are en route to a California town near Mexico after they were released from custody and given bus tickets by a faith-based charity, a senior law enforcement official said.
The four men were among at least seven people arrested in the incident. They were staying in a New York City shelter, used false names with the charity, the source told CNN. It was not immediately clear who the four are among the group arrested this week in connection with the weekend incident.
Investigators say even though the defendants allegedly used false names with the charity and could be going to Mexico by way of Calexico, California, “we have no legal authority to chase them or attempt to stop them” because the Manhattan district attorney did not request bail and the defendants were released on their own recognizance, the law enforcement source said.
“We have to assume they intend to return to court, which, given the circumstances around their departure, seems unlikely,” the source added.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to comment.

Of course they “declined to comment.” What could they possibly say? It’s a combination dumpster fire/clusterf**k, and District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused to answer reporters’ questions about it:

What Bragg cannot do is tell the truth: All of this — the turn-em-loose policy toward criminals, the flood of illegal immigrants — is part of Joe Biden’s agenda, the Democratic Party’s plan to destroy America. They’re importing “asylum seekers” to create a new constituency who will terrorize law-abiding citizens (and vote Democrat), and the policy requires that there can be no consequences for these foreign thugs.

A mob of 14 “asylum seekers” attacking two cops — in broad daylight! in Times Square! — but because of the Biden/Bragg agenda, New York can’t even keep these thugs in jail for that. But it’s a hate crime if you tell the truth about what’s happening, namely anarcho-tyranny.

Big Trouble in Cracker Paradise

Posted on | February 2, 2024 | Comments Off on Big Trouble in Cracker Paradise

Just a few years ago, Portland, Oregon, was seen as a sort of progressive utopia, and it’s not really a secret why this was so: Portland is the whitest major city in America. Progressives like to talk about “diversity,” but they prefer to admire it from a comfortable distance, you understand.

So you had a lot of white hipsters moving to Portland, which gives them the desirable urban environment without having to deal with large numbers of brown people. Hypocrisy much? Anyway . . .

To say that Portland’s politics leans left is an understatement — Multnomah County gave 79% of its vote to Joe Biden in 2020, and it would have been higher were it not for the fact that about 3% voted for fringe left-wing candidates. The relationship between the whiteness of Portland and the left-wing politics of Portland is not merely coincidental. It is easier to believe socialism “works” in an ethnically homogenous polity (which is why socialism was so popular in places like Sweden). Once “diversity” enters the picture, however, people become suspicious that some groups are benefiting more than others from the collectivist redistribution racket, and the result — in America, at least — is what I’ve called “Missippification.” Pondering state-by-state results and exit-poll data after the 2000 election (Bush v. Gore), I noticed that Mississippi had both (a) one of the highest percentages of black population in the country and (b) the highest percentage of white people voting Republican, rivaled only by South Carolina. The more black people, the more white people vote Republican — this is the factor I call “MIssippification.”

Portland proves this principle in reverse — a predominately white city populated by the kind of left-wing kooks who like Bernie Sanders, but think he’s perhaps too “mainstream” for their taste. It’s no surprise that Portland is a hotbed of “Antifa” radicalism, just like it’s no surprise that Portland has a significant homelessness problem:

An Oregon family armed with fire extinguishers had to repeatedly save their home from fires after homeless squatters set a next-door house ablaze twice in one day.
Jacob Adams said he jumped into action as flames from both infernos threatened to leap over to their Portland property in the latest in a string of terrifying experiences since squatters took over the neighboring structure five years earlier.
“There are fires that have been happening off and on. Major ones. This recent one actually came and set our property on fire,” Adams told Fox 12.
“Within 12 hours of that fire, another fire popped up. My wife was screaming, and propane tanks were igniting off from the fire.” . . .
Portland has been dealing with a long-lasting homeless problem. There are over 6,600 homeless people in Portland across more than 700 encampments.
Although the city’s Mayor Ted Wheeler announced in October [2022] plans to ban the camps, the tent cities have largely remained undisturbed by city officials, including police.
The lax enforcement has allowed squatters to take over homes like the one next door to Adams, despite being served multiple eviction notices.
Over the past five years, Adams said he’s reported multiple thefts — including one culprit he caught stalking off their property with their firewood — drug usage and physical fights inside the rapidly deteriorating home, but to no avail.

See how this works? The leftist politics of Portland encourages and empowers the white trash segment of the population, so drug-addled misfits take over vacant homes and terrorize the neighbors.

What? Did I say “drug-addled misfits”?

City officials in the Democratic-run Utopia that is Portland, Oregon, have declared a state of emergency for the downtown area in a desperate bid to address the ongoing fentanyl crisis.

“Our country and our state have never seen a drug this deadly and addictive, and all are grappling with how to respond,” Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said in a statement.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is between 50 and 100 times more potent than morphine, and is a main driver of the United States’ ongoing opioid epidemic.
According to the Oregon Health Authority, the state experienced more opioid overdose visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers last year compared to previous years, while the Portland Police Department’s Bureau of Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit saw a 75% increase in notifications of overdose deaths in 2023 over a year prior.

As a reminder, Oregon became the first state in the country to decriminalize the possession of all drugs, including heroin and cocaine, in 2020.
They chose…poorly. . . .

Opioid deaths in Oregon more than tripled from 280, before the de-criminalization of drugs was voted in, to 955 in 2022.

Welcome to Cracker Paradise. Just try to ignore the dead junkies.

‘Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories’

Posted on | February 1, 2024 | Comments Off on ‘Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories’

Justin Mohn: Pretty sure he didn’t read this blog

As an SPLC-certified Right-Wing Extremist, I could fairly be accused of holding various beliefs that are not considered “mainstream.”

For example, I think Texas would be entirely justified in seceding from the Union. I don’t believe in Keynesian economics or “climate change.” Heck, I don’t believe in Darwinian evolution. Or the designated hitter, for that matter. Despite my “fringe” beliefs, however, I have never been accused of advocating (checks notes) decapitating your father:

A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father, before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories.
Justin Mohn, 32, is accused of killing his father, Michael Mohn, police told NBC News. While police did not release the victim’s age, public records show him to have been 68.
Mohn was taken into custody about 100 miles away from the crime scene on suspicion of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possessing an instrument of crime with intent, according to a court docket released early Wednesday.
He was arraigned at 4 a.m. and denied bail, Middletown Township Police Capt. Pete Feeney said.
In the YouTube video, which was titled “Mohn’s Militia – Call To Arms For American Patriots” and is cited in a police complaint, Mohn is seen wearing gloves and holding his father’s head in a plastic bag. Later, the head can be seen in a cooking pot.
Mohn says his father was a federal employee for 20 years and refers to him as a traitor, calling for the death of all federal officials and attacking President Joe Biden’s administration, the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQ community and antifa activists. YouTube removed the video, which is more than 14 minutes long, hours after it was posted. . . .

Now, I’m not exactly sure why Justin Mohn thought that brandishing his father’s severed head in a YouTube video was going to inspire others to answer his “Call To Arms For American Patriots.” Despite my lack of credentials in the field of psychiatry, I’d be willing to hazard a guess that Justin Mohn is bonkers, berserk, demented, deranged, daffy, wacky, off his rocker, non compos mentis, nuttier than a Snickers bar, a few fries short of a Happy Meal and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

There is a difference — not just in degree, but a difference in kind — between whatever non-“mainstream” views I hold and the kind of murderous insanity that inspired Justin Mohn’s behavior. Therefore I take umbrage at the media’s efforts to suggest that everyone who voted for Donald Trump is somehow complicit, casting a shadow of suspicion on millions of law-abiding Americans who are utterly horrified by Justin Mohn’s ghastly crime. Your honor, I plead not guilty.

Did I mention Justin Mohn was a pro se litigant?

Mohn has filed at least three lawsuits against federal agencies, including the U.S. government, claiming they negligently caused him to take out student loans between 2010 and his graduation from Pennsylvania State University in 2014, a court filing shows.
He paid a filing fee of $2,000 and, after his claims were dismissed, he sought to have the judge recused from the case because of what he claimed was a personal bias and a conflicting personal financial interest.
In a legal opinion on the case, the judge called the accusations “entirely speculative and without factual basis” and said Mohn’s complaints were the “inaccurate allegations of a disappointed college graduate.”
Mohn also sued his former employer, Progressive Insurance, in 2020, alleging wrongful termination and sex discrimination against men. He was hired as a customer service representative in October 2016 and was fired in August 2017 after he kicked open the facility’s doors, court records show.
A district court ruled that Mohn failed to establish a case of discrimination.
When Mohn was filing his lawsuit, his parents were giving him about $540 a month, he indicated in the court filing. Shortly before Progressive fired him, he had taken a trip to Vegas to see if he could pursue a music career, according to the lawsuit.
He represented himself in the lawsuits.

A habit of filing meritless pro se lawsuits? Gosh, that seems strangely familiar, but I don’t want to get into any specious guilt-by-association games here. My point is that the evidence of Justin Mohn’s derangement was in plain sight, a matter of public record, but for some reason, nobody took alarm at his dangerous kookiness. There was nothing wrong with him that couldn’t be fixed by strapping him into a straitjacket, locking him in a padded cell and injecting him with Thorazine twice a day. Instead, it’s considered more “humane” to leave these nutjobs wandering around unhindered, until the day they commit an atrocity, at which point we get lots of commentary about how “the system failed him.”

Well, don’t blame me for this. Justin Mohn wasn’t one of my readers, as far as I know, and whatever “right-wing conspiracy theories” I may have promoted, I definitely never advocated what he did. And like I keep trying to warn you people: Crazy People Are Dangerous.
