How Do Asian Indians Vote?

During election years, everybody is supposed to genuflect to Hispanic Numbers, although the usual acts of obeisance are often inept. For example, the Obama Administration engineered that the Democratic nomination for the U.S.

"The Weather Man Is Not a Moron"

I harp on one key issue in philosophy of science a lot because I get a lot of backtalk along the lines of: Everybody knows that the social sciences are a fraud. They can't predict whether the stock market will go up or down tomorrow, so how you can say that social science data suggests that letting in a bunch of unskilled illegal immigrants today will lead, all else being equal, to lower school test scores later when their kids get into school? If smart rich guys can't predict the stock market tomorrow, how can an evil nobody like you predict school test scores in a decade?

Julian Castro may or may not be able to speak Spanish, I couldn't judge. He sure can do the Spanish-sounding tongue'n'palate work when pronouncing Spanish names, though. Listen to him give the full treatment to his daughter's name, Carina Victoria.

Radio Derb Is Up

This week's Radio Derb is up on iTunes and Taki's Magazine: instructions in the box here.  It's all about the Democratic Party convention and the speakers.  Here I am on Mrs. Obama.

A reporter from The Blaze was at the Democratic National Convention, where she interviewed Julia Rodriguez, a Puerto Rican-born delegate from New York.

Orientalia:"Chineseman","Chinaman" And PC

Here's a news story from the (U.K.) Mail Online website.  It's something about a Chinese businessman visiting the Chinese city of Wuhan and finding the local KFC outlet not up to proper standards of hygiene . . . I don't know, read the story for yourself:  the story's not the VDARE.com point.

The point is the headline:  

Obama BOASTS About Illegal Administrative Amnesty In DNC Speech. Where Is GOP?

President Obama referred to immigration twice in his DC speech. First this:

  • "We don’t think that government can solve all of our problems, but we don’t think that government is the source of all of our problems—any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we’re told to blame for our troubles."

The "immigrants" he's talking about here are illegal immigrants—they're the only immigrants mainstream Republicans would think of blaming.

Daily Show Investigates DNC Inclusion

imageJudging from the political spiels emanating from the Democratic Convention, the word “diversity” appears to have fallen from favor. The new expression is “inclusion” which adds a warm and cuddly aspect to the celebration of cultural difference.

Coren & Spencer: Muslims Attempt to Silence Historian

imageThe latest episode of Michael Coren and Robert Spencer’s update on hostile Islamists contains a reminder that more Muslims in a society means less free speech. In fact, anyone saying the slightest critical thing about Islam is apt to get shortened rapidly around the neck area. A historical investigation that does not agree precisely with the Koran is likely to put its author on the jihad hit list.

How The NYT Spins The Woodward Obama Book

Yesterday, Rick Klein's write-up for ABC News of the new book by Bob Woodward (of the Washington Post's Watergate fame) was full of lurid details from Democratic sources of President Obama's empty-chairness. It was not a welcome intro for Obama's big speech tonight. So, the NYT weighs in today with an account of the book as a predictable he said-he said account.

Treason Bar Already Planning More Kritarchy

The Treason Bar sees the writing on the wall and is already planning baseless legal challenges to any Romney Administration attack on the DREAM Act Amnesty.

ICE SVU Strikes Again—Still Chasing Internal Crime, Instead Of Deporting Aliens

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations is charged with enforcing the immigration and customs laws of the United States.  However they don't like that responsibility and two recent accounts in the press bring ICE HSI lawlessness into stark contrast.

The first is the continued attempt by ICE HSI to insert itself in the child pornography business that this blog has documented as ICE HSI's attempt to become the national Special Victims Unit (SVU).

Frum On What Typical GOP Delegate Thought

David Frum attempts to explain what's inside the head of the typical delegate at last week's GOP convention:

This whole thing about us not being "diverse" enough - can we cut the crap on that?

Bob Woodward: President "Voted Off The Island"

From ABC's description of Bob Woodward's upcoming book on the 2011 national debt ceiling negotiations:

Obama's relationship with Democrats wasn't always much better. Woodward recounts an episode early in his presidency when then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid were hammering out final details of the stimulus bill. 

Obama phoned in to deliver a "high-minded message," he writes.
