A week ago I predicted that the Republicans would fold like a cheap deck chair, and and issue a grovelling apology for their evil attempt to implement their election platform merely because they won the House of Representatives. Some of them are apologizing, but so far, no folding.

The fake shutdown confrontation
Whichever party yields, winds up being blamed for any disruption caused. Therefore, the party with the weaker hand should always yield swiftly, and the party with the stronger hand should never yield. And since the constitution gives the party that controls the house of representatives the overwhelmingly stronger hand, the Republicans would win – except that the whole thing is staged. They intend to lose, in order to persuade their …
Radish nails libertarianism’s race problem
Libertarianism had its one brief shining day in power in alliance with the anti racist, anti slavery brigade, was swiftly kicked out of that alliance, and has been beaten over the head with race stick ever since, despite endlessly begging to be allowed to renew the alliance. Since then, the only times it has ever gotten anywhere is in alliance with the “racistâ€, aka white, faction.
I predict no riots in Seminole County
The press have been calling on blacks to riot in the event of a Zimmerman acquittal Assorted black leaders have been calling on blacks to riot in the event of a Zimmerman acquittal. We have a full Zimmerman acquittal, somewhat to my surprise, since I expected an all female jury to do whatever the judge signals she wants them to do, which in this case was to convict Zimmerman of …
All your skypes belong to Microsoft
All Your Skype Are Belong To Us Microsoft is reading everything you write Skype used to be the most secure instant messaging system and I have frequently recommended it on this basis. Microsoft, under Bill Gates, used to be the big company most willing to protect user’s privacy. Skype was recently purchased by Microsoft. Heise Security then reproduced the events by sending two test HTTPS URLs, one containing login information …
The papacy goes pharasaic
And, as always pharaseeism equals leftism.
Guns, murder, and race
Stolen from the comment section of Steve Sailer’s excellent blog. Someone who wishes to remain anonymous has assembled data showing that American whites murder at about the same rate as whites in countries with strict gun control, American “Hispanics†murder at about the same rate as they do in their native countries, which generally have strict gun control, and that American blacks murder at about the same rate as blacks …
Moldbug’s mission completed
Moldbug has a new post of substance, but not a whole lot of substance. That a significant proportion of votes are fraudulent, disproportionately in the most critical states, such as Ohio, and everyone piously turns a blind eye to voter fraud on a scale that makes the difference between one presidential candidate winning, and another winning, is interesting in that everyone turns a blind eye. Democracy is now so dead …
Leftwards with John Corzine
Urban Future tells us: When the Right attains power, it is by becoming something other than itself, betraying its partisans not only incidentally and peripherally, through timidity or incompetence, but centrally and fundamentally, by practically advancing an agenda that almost perfectly negates its supposed ideological commitments. It builds that which it had promised to destroy, and further enthralls that which it had promised to liberate. Its victories mean ever less, …
The median voter
Heartiste’s usually wise, insightful, and excellent blog has a pile of silly advice: What A Future American Right Party Can Do To Win A future American right party cannot win. You win by winning over the median voter, or, equivalently, the modal swinging voter. The median voter or modal swinging voter in this election was someone who is single, fatherless, partly on welfare, if female a slut, if male frequently a …
