Why does this not come as a surprise?

The upstart nation was a den of intellectual piracy. One of its top officials urged his countrymen to steal and copy foreign machinery. Across the ocean, a leading industrial power tried in vain to guard its trade secrets from the brash young rival.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the rogue nation was the United States. The official endorsing thievery was Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. And the main victim was Britain.

How times have changed.

Now, the United States accuses China of the very sort of illicit practices that helped America leapfrog European rivals two centuries ago and emerge as an industrial giant.

At first glance, I thought the story was about the Barbary Pirates. Had the whole thing been a CIA-driven false flag?! Heck, could be. It could be that Hamilton helped stage the “Revolution” as a power grab in order to build his new strong central government. Anything’s possible.

Insubstantial, Upset, and Permitted – Lies Have Consequences to Change a Nation

Emanuel Celler (D – Babel), per his atavistic, paternal nature, made a career of lying. Ted “Leave Her For Dead” Kennedy (D – Old No. 7) told some whoppers too. Like this one:

First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same … Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset … Contrary to the charges in some quarters, S.500 will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia. In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think. Thirdly, the bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness.

Yeah, so that was 1965. History, these past few decades, has kind of proven otherwise.

In America, today – this year, we can expect a million and a half ILLEGAL immigrants flooding into our cities. That’s in addition to the legal arrivals, more than a few from places overpopulated and/or economically deprived.

The United States is projected to add about 1.5 million illegal aliens to the American population by the end of the year, should current rates of Catch and Release, border crossings, and visa overstays pan out.

This year, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Catch and Release policy — whereby border crossers and illegal aliens are readily released from federal custody into the interior of the U.S. — is on track to release roughly 434,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country by the end of the year. This projection is based on current estimates that more than 36,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have been released from DHS custody every month since the beginning of the year.

Subversive criminals? Got those. Actually, we have the crazies and especially the diseased too. Google “Los Angles” or “San Francisco” and “medieval disease.” See what comes up. But, as for the criminals:

Nearly every illegal immigrant family slated for deportation over the last six months has ignored those orders, according to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A staggering 92 percent of family members failed to appear at their deportation hearings in the months since September, said Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican.

He said he obtained those numbers from Ron Vitiello, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“The system is broken and overwhelmed,” Mr. Graham tweeted. “It is a national emergency!”

Yes. Yes, it is, Senator. 92% of illegals are willing to flout the very processes in place to deal with them. Subversive much? And, really, 100% are criminals. That’s why they’re classified as “illegal.”

The national emergency started 54 years ago. The time for emergency action was 34 years ago. We’re a little behind.

Bumping the White Man

Joe Biden is as senile as he is corrupt. That explains his pointless babbling about white culture, violence, and various fairy tales.

The former vice-president Joe Biden condemned “a white man’s culture” on Tuesday night as he lashed out against violence against women and, more specifically, regretted his role in the supreme court confirmation hearings that undermined Anita Hill’s credibility nearly three decades ago.

Biden, a Democratic presidential prospect who often highlights his white working-class roots, said Hill, who is African American, should not have been forced to face a panel of “a bunch of white guys”.

“To this day I regret I couldn’t come up with a way to give her the kind of hearing she deserved,” he said, echoing comments he delivered last fall as the nation debated sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh amid his supreme court confirmation hearing.

Later in his Tuesday remarks, Biden called on Americans to “change the culture” that dates back centuries and allows pervasive violence against women. “It’s an English jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture. It’s got to change,” Biden said.

We’ve gone from Ted Kennedy’s drunken lies, pre-1965 Immigration Act, to Biden’s demented, open, and utter contempt, today. Well. Let’s make at least one change! I suggest we ease the cultural problems by kicking the former Veep out of America. I hear the Atlantic is available.

In the meanwhile, another idiot has undone some of that English cracker jurisprudence and tradition. Bye, bye, bump stocks.

Bump stocks — the gun add-ons that can dramatically increase their rate of fire — are now officially illegal in the U.S., after a Trump administration ban took effect Tuesday. Anyone selling or owning bump stocks could face up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000 for each violation.

Chief Justice John Roberts declined to hear an appeal from gun makers on the new ban Tuesday, allowing it to remain in place. A separate appeal that seeks a stay on enforcing the ban is before Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The ban requires any bump stocks to be destroyed or turned in to law enforcement authorities. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has even posted instructions and diagrams showing how to destroy one of the devices and satisfy the new ban.

“In fact, no bump stocks will be ‘grandfathered in,'” as NPR’s Martin Kaste reported last month. “The new federal rule reclassifies them all as ‘machine guns,’ no matter when they were purchased, and owning one will become a felony.”

The jury is in at last! Vindicated against nonsense by the Mueller report, Trump, via his own unconstitutional actions (and all the broken or false promises), proved himself to be a lowlife sack of shit.

Seriously, an executive order, based on a false flag ISIS job, can and does terminate the Second Amendment, but the worst invasion in recorded history warrants emergency action in name only. Pathetic.

And, the failure to grandfather existing stocks actually renders Trump’s betrayal worse than Reagan’s 1986 FOPA faux pas.

Okay, I’m being a little harsh. After all, I’m sure we’ll get the (whole) wall, the big drain job, and a BOP cell for Hillary by the end of the week. Treason trials to start Monday. EO banning abortion by the end of next week.

Remember all this next November. I’ll remind you.

PS: use a loose grip or a rubber band (before Trump bans those too).

The Old College Try: Nation Concentrates on One of Many Higher Ed Scandals ***With Mueller Report Note***

A week or two back, the news broke of a DOJ crackdown on several score celebrities, all accused of bribing and lying their children’s way into elite colleges. The better-heeled Americans allegedly paid big money and told tall tales about Little Suzie; the colleges allegedly lapped it all up.

Some actresses I’d never heard of and some others stand indicted, facing prison time. Some of the children (not indicted) are “influencers,” celebrities because they are celebrities are some such rubbish. People like this undertake such nefarious actions because, A, they can, and B, because they’re kids were not bright enough to qualify otherwise.

Announcing the investigation, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling made an interesting statement: “For every student admitted through fraud, an honest and genuinely talented student was rejected. …

I’m not sure why the following made me think of Jacques Barzun’s book, which you should read, but they did. Hmmm.

AJ breaks down the ongoing love affair between the Alt-Left (especially big tech)and the pedo freaks.

A new report about a convicted pedophile from Houston Texas who participated in a “drag queen story hour” with children was censored from YouTube and the channel that posted it was deleted. Alex breaks down how drag queens are being worshiped by the left.

Of course, big tech is banning and deleting like mad.

Over on the “normal” side, the WSJ chronicles the decline of men’s professional fashion.

Jos. A. Bank, a chain known for selling suits to the corporate masses, began airing a television commercial earlier this month that features men in sport coats, khakis and jeans.

With fewer men buying suits, retailers of tailored clothing are trying to adapt to a world in which it is no longer unthinkable to wear Lululemon pants to the office.

“We want to send the message that we can help with more than just suits,” said Mary Beth Blake, Jos. A. Bank’s brand president.

The chain, one of the largest suit sellers along with its sibling Men’s Wearhouse, both owned by Tailored Brands Inc., TLRD -1.79% is starting to feel the bite as more companies give their blessing to casual attire. In recent weeks, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Target Corp. joined the parade of companies that have relaxed their dress codes.

Sales at Tailored Brands, which also includes the K&G and Moores chains, fell 10.7% in the most recent quarter to $768.1 million. It predicts sales will continue to decline in the current period at all brands except K&G.

“We have just not kept pace with an evolving customer,” Tailored Brands Chairman Dinesh Lathi told analysts earlier this month, adding that the company was in the “earliest stages” of trying to find the right balance between suits and more casual attire.

The Lululemon pants thing may reinforce the drag queen notion. For Goldman, maybe casual should involve stripped jumpsuits? For the rest, this is a slippery slope. Outside Wall Street, “dressing up” has been redefined as wearing khakis. More like the devolving customer.

 

 

Not a Problem. We Have an Emergency Declaration

The situation is in hand! Thank you, Mr. Veto Pen. The predictable surge down south is no match our state of emergency. Ha! The Marines got this. Right?

A caravan of some 1,200 migrants from Central America and Cuba began moving towards the U.S. border from southern Mexico this weekend, migration authorities said on Sunday.

The National Migration Institute said the migrants were already inside Mexico when they opted to form a caravan in the southern city of Tapachula on the border with Guatemala.

On second thought, maybe churches near bus stations should start setting up the cots.

In other news, I just submitted this week’s TPC column, a grand twofer. Stay tuned.

‘Covered in Sauce:’ The Snowplow Parents

Helicopter parenting for faster failure. Vox Day explains:

I don’t even know where to begin with this:

In her practice, Dr. Levine said, she regularly sees college freshmen who “have had to come home from Emory or Brown because they don’t have the minimal kinds of adult skills that one needs to be in college.”

One came home because there was a rat in the dorm room. Some didn’t like their roommates. Others said it was too much work, and they had never learned independent study skills. One didn’t like to eat food with sauce. Her whole life, her parents had helped her avoid sauce, calling friends before going to their houses for dinner. At college, she didn’t know how to cope with the cafeteria options — covered in sauce.

That’s one benefit of having been raised in a family with a Marine Corps tradition. From childhood, one is informed that there is always and only one answer to every obstacle: improvise, adapt, and overcome!

I knew immediately to begin with the sauce…

This is a good lead-in (from the NYT!) to this week’s somewhat related TPC column about college. That will include a short Mueller note, not that Mr. Nettles didn’t fully explain the matter in this morning’s early op-ed.

There’s a trend afoot in the news, education, and remembrances, collective. Chateau Heartiste has the scoop on half of it (of course I read CH sometimes):

In America, the public is given zero information on the “Weimar Republic,” the period in Germany post-WWI that led to the rise of the NationaI SociaIists in 1933.

This is deliberate. The period holds too many secrets to the modern world.

This thread will expose those secrets.

The other half of the trend, foisted via academia, involves shifting a certain blame for a certain atrocity from a certain villain and to some (formerly) good guys.

WHY?
