We're coming up to nationwide elections just as elite hatred of white people—including of course by Goodwhite ethnomasochists—is reaching a new level of intensity.

Just in the past few weeks:

• Korean-born Sarah Jeong is now happily working away as a member of the New York Times editorial board. Sample quote from her:  "Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins?" [Sarah Jeong: NY Times stands by 'racist tweets' reporter, August 2, 2018]
• Also at the New York Times, columnist Michelle Goldberg [Email her] published an October 29th op-ed with the title We Can Replace Them. This is straightforward Cold Civil War propaganda: the "We" in that title are Goodwhites and their nonwhite auxiliaries; the "Them" are Badwhites. Sample quote: "Right now America is tearing itself apart as an embittered white conservative minority clings to power, terrified at being swamped by a new multiracial polyglot majority."
• Tuesday this week a mulatto named Don Lemon, who hosts a talk show on one of the Goodwhite cable TV channels, offered the following thought: "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them."[CNN’s Don Lemon doesn’t apologize for calling white men ‘biggest terror threat’,November 1, 2018]

Yes, the Establishment's id has been leaking out of its packaging all over. The hate-whitey forces are now so bold and confident, they feel no need to hide their true feelings of seething hatred towards us Deplorables.

Patrick J. Buchanan turns 80 years old on Friday, November 2. The man and his supporters can now look back and reflect on how right he has been—the election of Donald Trump and the continuing transformation of the GOP into a populist-nationalist party are directly connected to Pat Buchanan and his swimming against the Establishment tide decades ago.

Patriotism and a passionate attachment to America—not blind devotion to a party label (recall his leaving the GOP to run as the Reform Party’s candidate in 2000: Buchanan joked that he was “Free at last, free at last!” [Buchanan's Reform Tour Is Snubbed by Ventura, by Francis X. Clines, New York Times, October 29, 1999]) or “true conservatism”—have been Pat’s guiding lights.

Tom Piatak wrote in VDARE.com’s on Pat’s 70^th and 75^th birthday (at 70 and 75). The headlines telegraphed the story: “He Told You So, You F****ing Fools!” and “Now, More Than Ever, Entitled to Say ‘I Told You So!” The Republican Establishment, playing its familiar and no doubt, comfortable role of “beautiful losers” was quite content to lose, if not throw, elections to President Hope and Change. Thus the late Senator John McCain noted how honored he was to concede the 2008 election to his esteemed colleague Barack Obama, a candidate the “maverick” McCain studiously avoided criticizing. [Transcript Of John McCain's Concession Speech, November 5, 2008]. So went the “Stupid Party” at the peak—or was it at the twilight?—of its conspicuous stupidity, content with its duplicitous niche in the Kabuki theater of Beltway politics.

Among the reasons Donald Trump is president is that his natural political instincts are superior to those of any other current figure.

As campaign 2018 entered its final week, Trump seized upon and elevated the single issue that most energizes his populist base and most convulses our media elite.

Warning of an "invasion," he pointed to the migrant caravan that had come out of Honduras and was wending its way through Mexico. He then threatened to issue an executive order ending birthright citizenship.

As other caravans began to assemble in Central America, Trump said he would send, first 5,200 and then 15,000, troops to the border.

This ignited the predictable hysteria of the media elite who decried his "racism," his "lying" and his "attack on the 14th Amendment." Trump, they railed, is sending more troops to the Mexican border than we have in Syria or Iraq.

Birds of a feather.     Genetics was prominent this month, both privately and publicly.

Privately: I got my own test back from 23andMe. The ancestry data was deeply bor-ing. I am 70 percent "British and Irish," all the rest some variety of European, mostly northwestern. I was hoping for something exotic I might boast about for virtue points with my liberal acquaintances: a trace of Hmong, perhaps, or Samoyed. Nope: I am shamefully white.

Something interesting came up in my "Relationships," though. If you give 23andMe permission, they will add your DNA to a database that records genetic relationships of various degrees of closeness. I did this; and down there among the "Third to Fifth Cousins" (scroll down a bit) was … drum roll, please … John Brimelow! That's VDARE.com Editor Peter's brother. They are identical twins, so there didn't seem much point in them both having their DNA scanned, as the results would just be the same.

Alexander Brimelow, Peter's son, shows up further down. 

It's not actually that surprising. Derbyshires and Brimelows both come from Northwest England: the Derbyshires from Wigan, the Brimelows from Warrington, about twelve miles away. (Indeed, there's a Brimelow Farm in Wigan. The Brimelow brothers sadly report it was never owned by their family). Our sturdy ancestors thought nothing of hiking twelve miles to find a breeding partner.

Still, it's taking a while to get used to hearing the boss address me as "Cousin."

Narrative defenders fighting in the last ditch.     On the public front we had the little flap about Elizabeth Warren's test result.

I admit I can't summon up any interest in this at all. Of course Senator Warren is a lying hypocrite. She's a progressive Democrat, isn't she? And of course Affirmative Action is an anti-white scam, which ambitious people game any way they can for personal advantage. Tell me something new.

I did read with interest New York Times science reporter Amy Harmon's three articles on the misappropriation of genetic science by hate-filled bigots like me.

The three articles appeared on successive days, as follows:

• October 17th:  Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed). Sample quotes: "Studying human genetic diversity is easier in a society where diversity is clearly valued and celebrated … There is no evidence, scientists stress, that environmental and cultural differences will not turn out to be the primary driver of behavioral differences between population groups."
• October 18th:  "Could Somebody Please Debunk This?": Writing About Science When Even the Scientists Are Nervous. Sample quote: "Under the coded term 'race realism,' [the rise of a kind of repackaged scientific racism] implied, falsely, that science had found a genetic basis for racial differences in traits like intelligence and behavior. Why draw attention to it?"
• October 19th:  Geneticists Criticize Use of Science by White Nationalists to Justify "Racial Purity". Sample quotes: "Given how much mixing has occurred, it says, the white supremacist notion of racial purity is 'scientifically meaningless' … scholars of racist ideology say contemporary white racism draws on the trope of 'natural' racial hierarchy"

As you can see from the sample quotes there, Ms. Harmon has no clue what race realists (why does she call that term "coded"? isn't the plain meaning right there in the words?), "white supremacists," and "white nationalists" actually believe.

There are so many straw men in those three articles, I feared the New York Times website might burst into flames right there before my eyes. I've attended a score of conferences organized by people Ms Harmon would certainly tag as "white nationalist" and so on—Jared Taylor, Paul Gottfried, Peter Brimelow, even Richard Spencer. The topics of racial purity, racial hierarchy, and racial superiority were barely mentioned in those dozens of hours of conference addresses and Q&As.

The white attendees at those events mostly just want white people to be left alone; to not have their countries swamped by foreigners; to not constantly hear their ancestors insulted and belittled; for media and the authorities to stop lying to us and hiding the truth from us, as if we are children ("The attacker is described as about 5-foot-9 and 250 pounds.")

The two sample quotes for October 17th are particular gems. The first one implies that studying human genetic diversity in, say, the U.S.A. is easier than studying it in, say, Japan. Does anybody believe this? Would any Japanese newspaper feel the need to publish, on three successive days, painfully contorted warnings on the perils of scientific facts about human biology leaking out to the Japanese public?

The second quote has as little semantic content as a sentence can have without being a perfect tautology. "There is no evidence for not-P" tells us nothing useful about the truth value of P. "There is no evidence it will not rain tomorrow." So … should I pack an umbrella?

The overall impression given by Ms Harmon's three articles is of someone fighting a desperate rearguard action. Yes, human behavior, intelligence, and personality do have some genetic basis. And yes, there are distinct, er, "genetic ancestry groups" … no, wait: I mean "major population groups" … no, hold on: "geographic ancestry groupings," that's it—but THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RACE, I TELL YOU!"

Defenders of the Narrative are fighting in the last ditch.

Having mastered fake news, now the media are trying out a little fake history.

In the news business, new topics are always popping up, from the Logan Act and the emoluments clause to North Korea. The all-star panels rush to Wikipedia, so they can pretend to be experts on things they knew nothing about an hour earlier.

Such is the case today with "anchor babies" and "birthright citizenship." People who know zilch about the history of the 14th Amendment are pontificating magnificently and completely falsely on the issue du jour.

If you'd like to be the smartest person at your next cocktail party by knowing the truth about the 14th Amendment, this is the column for you!

Of course the president can end the citizenship of "anchor babies" by executive order—for the simple reason that no Supreme Court or U.S. Congress has ever conferred such a right.

It's just something everyone believes to be true.

How could anyone—even a not-very-bright person—imagine that granting citizenship to the children of illegal aliens is actually in our Constitution?
