Biden’s Supreme Court Nomination is an Insult

President Biden has announced that his nominee for the Supreme Court will be a black woman. Rather than asking, “Who is the best qualified?” he will be asking “Who has the right sex and skin color?” According to a 2019 report, only 3.4 percent of sitting judges are black women. The president is therefore limiting his search — for someone to endow with a lifetime position of great power — to just 3.4 percent of the people who are generally considered qualified. And there is good reason to doubt whether even that 3.4 percent are fully qualified.

Despite decades of recruitment and affirmative action, blacks are underrepresented in law schools: 8 percent of students vs 13.5 percent of the population. They are more likely to be in bottom-ranked law schools (16 percent of students) than in top-ranked schools (6 percent). Black first-year students are twice as likely as white first-years to drop out: 11 percent vs. 5.1 percent.

Many of the most able and ambitious law graduates go to work for law firms. In 2020, only 3.04 percent of law firm associates were black women, and only 0.8 percent of the partners were black women. Partnership in a law firm is usually a sign of ability. Why is the black-women representation on the federal bench — 3.4 percent — four times greater than their 0.8 percent share of partners? Probably because judicial appointments are political whereas partners have to be sharp lawyers who can bring in clients. Pressure to be “diverse” is already so great that a good many of the current 0.8 percent probably aren’t qualified.

A black woman justice will mean that her group is overrepresented on the court: 11 percent of justices, vs 6.7 percent of the population. This is affirmative action heaped upon affirmative action.

Public confidence in the Supreme Court has dipped below 50 percent, and has rarely been lower. Will this appointment raise confidence? The current Hispanic justice, Sonia Sotomayor, flatly rejects the idea that judges should set aside their race and sex when deciding cases: “I . . . accept that our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions.” She then famously added, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

Our president apparently thinks a black woman will decide cases better than a white man. Mr. Biden already showed his hand when he promised he would appoint a woman as vice president. Sex before competence.

Presidents have a relatively free hand in choosing running mates and make blatantly political choices. Naming a supreme court justice is — or should be — different. A bad choice can’t be fired or voted out of office. Moreover, as law professor Jonathan Turley points out, in one of its first affirmative-action decisions — the 1977 Bakke case — the Supreme Court set clear limits on affirmative action: Preferring “members of any one group for no reason other than race or ethnic origin is discrimination for its own sake,” adding that “this is what the Constitution forbids.” The President is therefore shaping the court according to criteria the court itself has forbidden. If Mr. Biden believes that non-whites and women serve the United States better than white men, let him act on that belief: Resign today and let Kamala Harris run the country.

And what are we to think of the person who will “make history” by accepting this appointment? At her Senate hearings, someone should ask her:

How will anyone be able to respect you as a justice when you were chosen after 95 percent of all the other possible candidates weren’t even considered? Wouldn’t you want to be able to say, ‘I was the best,’ rather than ‘I was the best of just 5 percent’? Shouldn’t anyone with any self-respect refuse such an insulting nomination ?

You cannot have a conversation with someone who has already made up his mind about what’s true.

Imagine someone saying to you, “I know you believe one plus one equals two. But one plus one actually equals three. I will tell you why.”

You’re not going to be convinced. Your mind will shut down. That’s how leftists feel if you try to sell them on Trump, capitalism, limited government, objective truth, the fact of two genders, or anything else not leftist.

It’s the same thing if the topic is more complicated, and less obvious. If someone believes Allah is the one true God, and you believe that Jesus is the one true God, in earthly form, then you’ll never reach agreement. This point is non-negotiable, to both of you. If you’re in love with Mary and someone tells you that it’s wrong to be in love with Mary, and you should be in love with Joannie instead, you’re not going to change your mind. The person who tells you to be in love with Joannie (not Mary) is wasting his breath.

Imagine how much WORSE the situation gets if someone says to you, “You’re an idiot. Only a deranged, immoral fool would be in love with Mary.” You’re even LESS likely to be open to persuasion than you would be if someone politely told you to make a change.

That’s why America is in so much trouble. Leftists not only tell nonleftists, “You’re wrong. I’m right. That’s that.” They were saying that 10 and 20 years ago. Now they say, “You’re a deranged idiot if you hold the views I don’t hold. I shouldn’t even have to be talking to you.” Actually, it’s even worse in some cases. It has reached the point — at least according to polls — that half of these leftists actually think you should be locked up for disagreeing with them, about masks, vaccines or a whole lot of other things.

It’s one thing to say, “Let’s agree to disagree.” People can do that about Allah versus Jesus. That’s what separation of church and state is all about. People can agree to disagree about marrying Joannie versus marrying Mary. But it’s a lot harder to do this with government. Because government refers to FORCE. The leftists are saying, “I am right, and that’s that. Either you do as I say, or the police will be called.” You cannot reconcile such an attack with reasoning. Reason has long since broken down. We are far past the point of reason, the minute someone is prepared to have you silenced, unemployed or even jailed for failing to agree with them.

Some will reply, “That’s too pessimistic. We can still work it out; America will be great again.” How, exactly? The same people who call this pessimistic will admit, “Yes, that is how leftists are.” And probably some of the less strident leftists (there are a few remaining) feel the same way about people on the other side, too.

Whenever somebody holds a view that includes legitimizing the use of force in advancing that view, you’ve got civil war. If a family member tried to use physical force to make sure you marry Joannie instead of Mary, there will be trouble. If a Muslim decides to use physical force to coerce a Christian into practicing his beliefs (or vice-versa), you will have big trouble. Centuries of human history prove my point.

Today, we have a situation where most of the leftists don’t merely say, “This is my point of view, and I’d like to see it enacted; but if you don’t want it, I’ll accept that. I’ll keep trying to persuade you that government ownership of the means of production is the best, that fossil fuels must be outlawed within 8 years, and that there are multiple genders, etc.” Instead they say, without apology, “This is my point of view and you WILL accept it. Or you will pay serious consequences.” January 6! January 6! They’ll shriek incantations like this, almost like cult followers do.

Right now, those consequences for failing to conform consist of “Facebook jailing”, Twitter shadow-banning, widespread shaming, losing your job and possibly paying fines. On the same premise, we can expect a lot worse to come. Why not? Once you open the door to this kind of coercion, the rest — prisons, gulags, reeducation camps, even murder — is only a matter of time.

Because that’s how coercion works. Coercion is not reason. America is not immune to the consequences of abandoning reason.

Can’t we all get along? No, we can’t. Not when one or both parties accept coercion as the solution. The minute even one side starts using coercion, you’ve got the beginning of civil war.

Observe the results in real time.

COVID: The Greatest Scam in World History

Posted on by

This week has been eye-opening. Even for me — and I’m the guy who has warned for over a year, in commentary after commentary, and often for three hours a day on my nationally syndicated radio show, that the COVID-19 vaccine could be dangerous and deadly and could lead to catastrophe.

I stuck my neck out like no other talk show host in America to warn the vaccine may not even prevent illness; in fact, it could damage the immune system, thereby causing more illness and death. And not just from COVID-19, but also injuries and death linked to the COVID-19 vaccine itself.

Eight months ago, I warned it was time to suspend the vaccine program pending an investigation of mounting deaths, grievous injuries and permanent disabilities. I titled my commentary, “What if This Experimental COVID Shot Is Killing People? Don’t Americans Have a Right To Know?”

Four months ago, I was courageous enough to scold New York Times medical reporters about the unfolding disaster that they have ignored. I titled my commentary, “What I Just Told the New York Times About the Complete Failure and Disaster of the COVID-19 Vaccine.”

Three months ago, I was the first to warn that Americans were dropping in record numbers of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. I titled my commentary, “If the Vaccine Is So Great, Why Are So Many People Dropping Dead?”

But even I was shocked by the plethora of stories coming out just in the past week, from all corners of the world, suggesting the vaccines are indeed a terrible failure and are causing a mass die-off.

Here is a quick look at the FACTS that have come pouring out of the closet just in the past week:

Israel is the most vaccinated major nation in the world. Almost the entire population is quadruple vaccinated. Yet right now Israel is No. 1 in the world for COVID-19 infections. Over one half of 1% of their entire population is testing positive for COVID-19 PER DAY.

In Germany, the most draconian COVID-19 mandates and restrictions in the world were sold to the public with false data. Just like in America, the German government labeled this a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” They claimed up to 90% of the infected and dead were unvaccinated. Newspaper investigations have found that none of this was true. The government simply classified every sick or dying person as “unvaccinated.” Government officials are apologizing, blaming the “mistake” on a “software error.”

In Alberta, Canada, the government published, then quickly deleted health data exposing that almost 60% of the COVID-19 victims classified as “unvaccinated” were actually among the vaccinated. It turns out everyone who got sick, was hospitalized or died within two weeks of getting any vaccine (the first jab, or second, or third) was counted as “unvaccinated.”

I’ll bet you didn’t know the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention play the exact same trick here in the USA. They know most of the COVID-19 deaths and injuries, not to mention deaths from the vaccine itself (mostly heart attacks) will occur within 14 days of any jab. So, everyone that gets sick or dies in that period is counted as “unvaccinated.”

The most perfect control group ever is the U.S. military. Every young soldier got the COVID-19 vaccine in the past year. To follow the results is the very definition of SCIENCE. Military whistleblowers have come forward with Department of Defense medical data showing since the start of the vaccine program cancer is up about 300% among military members; female infertility is up 500%; miscarriages are up by 300%; and there was an astronomical 1000% increase in neurological disorders from 82,000 to 863,000 in one year.

These are young men and women who were in perfect health … until the vaccines. It appears the vaccines are literally crippling our national defense.

One more control group of formerly healthy young men and women: FIFA soccer players in the EU. Deaths from cardiac arrest increased by 500% in 2021. An astounding 183 professional athletes and coaches collapsed “suddenly” in 2021.

Worst of all is the news from the CDC that non-COVID-19 deaths in the age range of 18 to 49 increased by 40% in the past year. No one has ever seen anything like this. Why are working-age Americans dying in record numbers? Only one thing changed in 2021: vaccine mandates at the workplace.

The real story these numbers tell is we are experiencing a “pandemic of the vaccinated.” I believe the vaccine is doing catastrophic damage, but governments, politicians and bureaucrats the world over have falsely labeled vaccinated people who are sick and dying as “unvaccinated.” And the media covers up the truth like it’s Hunter Biden’s laptop.

This is the greatest scam in world history. It would make Bernie Madoff blush.

Now Is The Time For Mass Resignations From Within The Ruling Class

Posted on by

If there is a historical precedent for the truckers’ revolt in Canada, and the populist protests in so many other parts of the world, I would like to know what it is. It surely sets the record for convoy size, and it is historic for Canada. But there is much more going on here, something more fundamental. The two-year imposition of bio-fascist rule by diktat seems ever less tenable – the consent of the governed is being withdrawn – but what comes next seems unclear.

We now have two of the most restrictive “leaders” in the developed world (Justin Trudeau of Canada and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand) hiding in undisclosed locations, citing the need to quarantine following Covid exposure. Streets globally have filled up with people demanding an end to mandates and lockdowns, calling for accountability, pushing for resignations, denouncing privileged corporations, and crying out for a recognition of basic freedoms and rights.

Note too that these movements are spontaneous and from “below:” they are populated mostly by the very workers whom governments shoved to face the pathogen two years ago, while the ruling class hid behind their laptops in their living rooms. It was the lockdowns that sharply divided the classes and the mandates that are imposing segregation. Now we are facing a modern allegory to the peasants’ revolt in the Middle Ages.

For a long time, the workers complied bravely but have been forced to accept medical shots they neither wanted nor believed they needed. And many are still being denied freedoms they took for granted only two years ago, their schools non-operational, businesses wrecked, places of entertainment closed or severely restricted. People turn on the radios and televisions to listen to lectures by ruling-class elites who claim to be channeling the science that always ends in the same theme: the rulers are in charge and everyone else must comply, no matter what is asked of them.

But then it became screamingly obvious to the world that none of it worked. It was a gigantic flop and the sky-high cases of late 2021 in most parts of the world put a fine point on it. They failed. It was all for naught. This clearly cannot continue. Something has to give. Something has to change, and this change probably will not wait for the next scheduled elections. What happens in the meantime? Where is this going?

We’ve seen what revolutions look like against monarchies (18th and 19th century), against colonial occupation, against totalitarian one-party states (1989-90), and against banana-republic strongmen (20th century). But what does revolution look like in developed democracies ruled by entrenched administrative states in which elected politicians serve as little more than veneer for bureaucracies?

Since John Locke, it is an accepted idea that people have the right to rule themselves and even to replace governments that go too far in denying that right. In theory, the problem of government overreach in democracy is solved by elections. The argument made for such a system is that it allows for peaceful change of a ruling elite, and this is far less socially costly than war and revolution.

There are many problems with matching theory and reality, among which that the people with the real power in the 21st century are not the people we elect but those who have gained their privileges through bureaucratic maneuvering and longevity.

There are many strange features of the last two years but one of them that stands out to me is how utterly undemocratic the trajectory of events has been. When they locked us down, for example, it was the decision of elected autocrats as advised by credentialled experts that were somehow sure that this path would make the virus go away (or something like that). When they imposed vaccination mandates, it was because they were sure that this was the right path for public health.

There were no polls. There was little if any input from legislatures at any level. Even from the first lockdowns in the US, occurring March 8, 2020 in Austin, Texas, there was no consultation with the city council. Neither were citizens asked. The wishes of the small business people were not solicited. The state legislature was left out entirely.

It was as if everyone suddenly presumed that the whole country would operate on an administrative/dictatorship model, and that the guidelines of health bureaucracies (with plans for lockdowns that hardly anyone even knew existed) trumped all tradition, constitutions, restrictions on state power, and public opinion generally. We all became their servants. This happened all over the world.

It suddenly became obvious to many people in the world that the systems of government we thought we had – responsive to the public, deferential to rights, controlled by courts – were no longer in place. There seemed to be a substructure that was hiding in plain sight until it suddenly took full control, to the cheers of the media and the presumption that this is just the way things are supposed to be.

Years ago, I was hanging out in the building of a federal agency when there was a change of guard: a new administration appointed a new person to head it. The only change that the bureaucrats noticed was new portraits on the wall. Most of these people pride themselves in failing to notice. They know who is in charge and it is not the people we imagine to elect. They are there for life, and face none of the public scrutiny much less accountability that the politicians face daily.

Lockdowns and mandates gave them full power, not only over the one or two sectors they previously ruled but the whole of society and all of its functioning. They even controlled how many people we could have in our homes, whether our businesses could be open, whether we could worship with others, and dictate what precisely we are supposed to do with our own bodies.

Whatever happened to limits on power? The people who put together the systems of government in the 18th century that led to the most prosperous societies in the history of the world knew that restricting government was the key to a stable social order and growing economy. They gave us Constitutions and the lists of rights and the courts enforced them.

But at some point in history, the ruling class figured out certain workarounds to these restrictions. The administrative state with permanent bureaucrats could achieve things that legislatures could not, so they were gradually unleashed under various pretexts (war, depression, terror threats, pandemics). Moreover, governments gradually learned to outsource their hegemonic ambitions to the biggest businesses in the private sector, who themselves benefit from increasing the costs of compliance.

The circle has been completed by enlisting Big Media into the mix of control via access to the class of rulers, to receive and broadcast out the line of the day, and hurl insults at any dissidents within the population (“fringe,” etc.). This has created what we see in the 21st century: a toxic combination of Big Tech, Big Government, Big Media, all backed by various other industrial interests who benefit more from systems of control than they would from a free and competitive economy. Further, this cabal leveled a radical attack on civil society itself, closing churches, concerts, and civic groups.

We’ve been assured by David Hume (1711-1776) and Etienne de la Boétie (1530-1563) that government rule is untenable when it loses the consent of the governed. “Resolve to serve no more,” wrote Boetie, “and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall off his own weight and break into pieces.”

That’s inspiring but what does it mean in practice? What precisely is the mechanism by which the overlords in our time are effectively overthrown? We’ve seen this in totalitarian states, in states with one-man rule, in states with unelected monarchies. But unless I’m missing something, we’ve not seen this in a developed democracy with an administrative state that holds the real power. We have scheduled elections but those are unhelpful when 1) elected leaders are not the real source of power, and 2) when the elections are too far in the distant future to deal with a present emergency.

One very easy and obvious path away from the current crisis is for the ruling class to admit error, repeal the mandates, and simply allow for common freedoms and rights for everyone. As easy as that sounds, this solution hits a hard wall when faced with ruling-class arrogance, trepidation, and the unwillingness to admit past errors for fear of what that will mean for their political legacies. For this reason, absolutely no one expects the likes of Trudeau, Ardern, or Biden to humbly apologize, admit that they were wrong, and beg the people’s forgiveness. On the contrary, everyone expects them to continue the game of pretend so long as they can get away with it.

The people on the streets today, and those willing to tell pollsters that they are fed up, are saying: no more. What does it mean for the ruling class not to get away with this nonsense anymore? Presuming that they do not resign, they do not call off the dogs of mandates and lockdowns, what is the next step? My instincts tell me that we are about to discover the answer. Electoral realignment seems inevitable but what happens before then?

The obvious answer to the current instability is mass resignations within the administrative state, among the class of politicians that gives it cover, as well as heads of media organs that have propagandized for them. In the name of peace, human rights, and the renewal of prosperity and trust, this needs to happen today. Bury the pride and do what’s right. Do it now while there is still time for the revolution to be velvet.

Is a Constitutional Convention the Answer ?

From the Convention of States on 1/28/22:

BREAKING NEWS: The Nebraska legislature just passed the Convention of States Resolution calling for an Article V Convention to place limits on the runaway power of the federal government!

That makes Nebraska the 17th state to join the movement, putting us halfway to the required 34 states needed to call the convention. The Senate voted overwhelmingly in our favor — 32 YAYS – 11 NAYS.

Momentum is building.

Earlier this week, Wisconsin passed the COS Resolution, becoming state #16, and the South Dakota House passed the Resolution, moving it to the Senate for consideration.

This is our moment in history.

Empty shelves at the grocery store. Vaccine mandates stripping Americans of their freedom and livelihoods. Progressive initiatives infiltrating our schools and teaching the next generation to disdain their heritage.w

We the People will not watch as the “land of the free” becomes unrecognizable. We will not stand by as our children’s futures are mortgaged away by the ruling elite.

With today’s historic victory in Nebraska, the following states are now officially united in this historic effort to end the tyranny of Washington, D.C.: Georgia, Alaska, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arizona, North Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Nebraska!

We’re halfway to the finish line. Let’s finish the job.

For more info. see Conventionofstates.com

In response to this post on social media, some people raised the perfectly legitimate concern that now is no time — given the state of the culture, philosophically — to have a constitutional convention, even a delimited one as the Convention of States proposes.

Here’s my reply:

On our current course, the U.S. cannot continue indefinitely. Some states seek totalitarian dictatorship, while others seek relative freedom. Some states actively sanction election fraud at the expense of victim states (red states). This is flatly unsustainable. It’s probably true that a new Convention would fail. But if you think the status quo is any better, you’re wrong. If nothing else, it might be a way to hasten the inevitable break that’s coming.

Biden Regime Thinks 7% Inflation is too Low

Posted on by

Blocked by US federal courts from imposing its illegal vaccine mandates, the criminal and insane Biden regime has resorted to imposing mandates by prohibiting unvaccinated (however that condition is currently defined) truckers from delivering goods to the US from Canada and Mexico. For a country that has offshored so much of the production it needs, reducing deliveries by stupid and ineffective “Covid policies” guarantees inflation.

The corrupt and stupid Transportation Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas justified the Biden regime’s interference with commerce as the regime’s “commitment to protecting public safety.”

This is extraordinary. With it now a proven and uncontested fact that the “vaccine,” no matter how many jabs, does not protect against Covid but does cause injury and death, the dumbshit Secretary of Transportation is protecting us by reducing the supply of goods and driving up the inflation rate!

Now we will learn the true cost of globalism. Having offshored almost everything including food production, Americans are going to experience what life is like in a third world country.

Everything We Do, We Do for a Reason

Posted on by

Everything we do, we do for a reason. All behavior, no matter how self-destructive it may seem, serves an emotional purpose. It’s not that somebody “shouldn’t” be acting in a certain way; it’s that they ARE acting that way to satisfy some personal need.

Even the worst drug or alcohol addict has some objective, however illogical it may be. Often it’s as straightforward as “escape from reality.” The question to ask about puzzling behavior isn’t, “Why are they doing it?” It’s “What are they getting out of it?”

Think of something you did recently that made no sense to you. “Why did I do that?” you ask. Then change the question to, “What did I get out of it?” (Or, perhaps, “What did I think I was going to get out of it?”) The answer might not be obvious, but there’s a purpose or goal in there somewhere.

Some mental health professionals use the term “secondary gain” to describe the hidden reason we do something that on the surface doesn’t make sense. Secondary gain refers to motivation, so it’s quite personal, and could be just about anything. Common examples include getting attention from others, financial gain, feeling a greater sense of personal connection with somebody, or escaping from work, chores or whatever.

Children or young adults with behavioral or emotional problems are no exception. Like everybody else, they do things for a reason. I like to ask, “How does the symptom serve the system?” Or, more directly, “What is this person trying to cover up (or achieve) with these outrageous behaviors?”

It’s just as true with adults. For example, when a spouse has an affair, it makes sense to ask, “What did the affair accomplish?” Maybe he’s not satisfied with some aspects of the marriage, so he has an affair rather than looking for a new partner. When viewed critically, what he’s doing has serious flaws, but on a subconscious level, it’s easy to see how the symptom of having the affair served the secondary gain of getting more satisfaction out of life and love.

Don’t confuse secondary gain with a hidden agenda. For example, if you have a second home at the beach, someone might casually ask, “So, when are you going to the beach this summer?” On the surface, the question implies an interest in what you’re doing, but the underlying purpose might be to arrange for an invitation. A hidden agenda is not subconscious; the person who holds it is fully aware of it.

A reason for doing something is not always an excuse for doing something. Having an affair because you’re not getting what you want from your marriage is not a justification for lying; it’s just an explanation of why lying seemed like a good idea. Trying to escape painful memories or stressful situations is not an excuse for alcohol or drug abuse; it’s just an explanation of why self-medication can be a compelling motivation. Explanations are simply that: Not justifications, not condemnations — just explanations.

Figuring out your secondary gain can be of practical use. When you know what’s going on in your mind, you’re better equipped to manage your life. Imagine driving your car without being able to see clearly through the windshield. The same is true with your mind. If you’re on a self-destructive path, you can stop and change course if you’re able to figure out why you’re on that path to begin with.

Personal insight and perception are great alternatives to self-condemnation. Knowing what you’re getting out of your seemingly irrational behavior helps you to take responsibility in a way that’s supportive and understanding. Armed with that knowledge, you can confront, and perhaps even correct, the real reasons why you do what you do. It’s an excellent course of action for getting and keeping control of your life.

Surgeon General is Hazardous to Your Health

Biden’s Surgeon General is commanding Big Tech media companies to censor Joe Rogan, a highly popular podcaster who challenges some of the government and the Party’s COVID narrative.

For generations, brave people have literally shed blood so that America’s First Amendment rights could be preserved. Now we have this pitiful morally and intellectually challenged TWIT standing ready to silence a popular and accurate Internet broadcaster for daring to make the government doom profiteers look stupid and deceptive–WHICH THEY ARE. If Rogan is silenced by Communist Democrat intimidation, then it will be America’s most shameful hour.
