[Election Wizzard] US Census data released last week called into question the official vote tally from the 2020 election. As part of the Census, the government collects data on citizens who self-report as having voted in presidential elections. The collected data shows an unusual anomaly in the reported results.
According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at 154,628,000. On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of 158 million. That’s a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.
Speaking to pollster Richard Baris during an episode of "Inside the Numbers," lawyer Robert Barnes said historically, the Census tends to "pin on the nose" the recorded vote numbers with the actual results. In other words, often the two data sets reasonably match.
Barnes is right. For example, the bureau was nearly spot-on in 2008, slightly under-reporting that 131,100,000 voted, while the official results showed 131,300,000 ballots cast.
Of course, sometimes the Census has missed the mark. But for decades, in almost every case where the Census grossly botched the results, it was because the bureau over-recorded the number of those who voted.
Consider the following: In 1992, the Census over recorded the official results by slightly more than nine million. In 1996, the Census again over recorded the number of reported voters by roughly nine million. Similarly, the bureau recorded the number of those who voted in the 2004 election as 125 million, while official results placed the total at 122 million.
The same over-recording phenomenon occurred in 2012, with the Census over-reporting the number of voters by several million. In fact, even in 2016 where the Census was quite close, it still over-recorded the official election results.

We had a report earlier this week about the Census 'moving' people from red states to blue states to paper over the population loss by blue states (and lead to the robbing of at least three congressional seats from red states), and now we have this. Corruption and shenanigans at every turn; it's like you just can't trust government numbers anymore.

Interesting. This deserves a lot more research into the sampling methods used by the Census. Unless the Census changed their methods in 2020, this is yet more evidence of Democrat bullshit around absentee ballots last November
Also, these numbers should be broken out by DMA/metro area to see if the overcounting is most severe in areas where the most shenanigans happened, like Atlanta, Philly, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

The 'did you vote' question only appears in a sample of census queries. The total 'voting' is an extrapolation of the sample and has the usual problems with whether the sample is representative.
The 2020 census was during the pandemic. It is not clear how different the response rates were from other census counts.

How did the response rate vary over each of these periods?

The dead walk among us. Looks like there were a lot of manufactured votes in 2020. No wonder the Dems are trying to halt/stop audits in various swing states.
Well one of the problems is comparing years in which the census overlaps the presidential election and other years. In 2020, the census closed its books before Nov 3. So I'm not sure how the estimate was made, obviously some people voted early but many did not.

[CNS] Institutionalized, systemic anti-whiteness, yoked to white-hot hatred of whites:
That is the creed that is fast becoming entrenched across state and civil society in the U.S.
Chiseled down, these are also the building blocks of critical race theory, a specious, subintelligent concoction, originated by subpar intellectuals.
The critical race project now pervades private and political life.
A further twist of the screw (or the shrew) was delivered recently by Vice President Kamala Harris, who insists on yammering about white America’s historic racism.
In practice, whites are being singled out for a punishing, institutionalized program of reeducation, subjugation, and continued intimidation.
Dangerous in isolation, the entrenchment of anti-white animus is indisputable. It is made worse in combination with the conservative cognoscenti’s inability to come out with it. Too many conservatives euphemize our anti-white culture.
In particular, they will typically deflect from any anti-white outrage du jour by dubbing it identity politics: "Democrats are dividing us via identity politics." This is an obfuscation.
Here’s why: Blacks are not being pitted against Hispanics. Hispanics are not being sicced on Asians, and Ameri-Indians aren’t being urged to attack the groups just mentioned. Rather, they’re all piling on honky. Hence, anti-white politics or animus. The multicultural multitudes are gunning for whites and their putative privilege.
The tarring of whites is now close to becoming a curricular requirement in education (primary, secondary, postsecondary), and from entertainment to technology, anti-white racial "redress" is the all-important object of industry.

The problem is born from the elevated humanist idea propagated by fools that all kinds of people are equal and should be treated equally by all other kinds. [Most of the fools who advocated for this and allowed it were indeed white].
Soon, it was not just historically discriminated people but have-nots for any causal reason that were excused for possessing appetite for others' goods and zero character. And they choose champions, like Marx and Mao and Mohammed, who glorify plunder and extortion.
The result is the allowance of criminality disguised as emancipation. From corruption to syndicalism and extortion, a dominance of criminality emerged in polities everywhere. Numbers of criminals too increased, they joined up. And legislation was soon dictated by criminals as electorates. In short, no world for the honest.

It's simple logic, really.
Despite being given every opportunity, African-Americans failed to match the achievements of the whites.*
Thus, we have to conclude one of the following.
(a) African-Americans are less capable than whites (not to mention Asians or Jews) in this type of achievement.
(b) By trying to speed the process, we (the liberals) screwed it up.
(c) There is a wide-spread, in fact subconscious, prejudice against African-Americans among whites - one that sabotages the advancement of this group.
Now: (a), let alone (b), are totally unacceptable. So, what remains?**
*In fact, their society deteriorated. Having a few politicians, celebrities, and professors of liberal arts doesn't make up for the fact that most African-Americans live in what amounts to jungle.
** It's like when Soviets applied Marxists principles to agriculture/economy and it's rapidly deteriorated - obviously the fault of saboteurs.

all kinds of people are equal and should be treated equally
I got my first taste of this in San Francisco 50 years ago.
The Board of Supervisors, in their infinite wisdom, decreed that users of metal heath services should be represented on the Mental Health Board. Given that the most common attribute of mental health problems is the inability to make rational decisions, the result was fore-ordained.

Ref #2: (c) There is a wide-spread, in fact subconscious, prejudice against African-Americans among whites - one that sabotages the advancement of this group.
I choose not to vacation among the remote Amazonian Piripkura. Does this mean I have a "subconscious prejudice" that "sabotages their advancement" ?

Putting someone in a position they lack the ability to do — whether through lesser innate ability, poor training, or even blindness to cultural cues — guarantees failure and frustration. Doing so because of their skin colour is not only cruel but vile. The right answer is to give those who lack a bourgeois family culture explicit training in the skills needed to succeed, whatever their innate ability. I recall Shipman talking about requiring his inner city junior high school computer students to wear a clean white shirt every day, neatly tucked into their pants, among the requirements for being in that special class.
It seems to me that a lot of what we see in this country as racial differences are really class differences: in England the underclass is in large part Indian subcontinent Muslims, while in France they’re mostly North African Muslims. But Indian subcontinent Muslims arrived as part of the educated class in America, resulting in very different behaviours from the same racial and cultural heritage.

BHO et al exacerbated this from the start, and the value of the manipulative tool of "racism" grew greater during his term. Sadly, I'm not sure there is a way back to something akin to the progress of making "African-Americans" into just Americans, because the hate now is deeply entrenched in multiple generations, and now, violence and extortion has become increasingly acceptable as a way to expiate white guilt in their minds and gain benefit with far less effort than adopting traditional American "white" culture.
#15
Fifty-five years of interventions, with trillions of dollars spent, should be enough to dissuade any rational person from thinking that "racism" or white society have anything to do with the pathologies of the black underclass.
Time to figure out how to separate these savages from the rest of society. Mass incarceration was a good necessary step in that direction -- bring it back.
#16
All of which is why they blame everybody and everything else for the failure in one community. They will never look at themselves in the manner they demand of the overall society.
#17
They already cull themselves pretty hard between abortion and killing each other off. I've heard it said that the Klan could only dream of taking out the numbers of the Blacks that they do to themselves. It's kinda sad.
[NR] If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago, and a racist today." Thomas Sowell, who combines a Mark Twain-level gift for apothegms with the rigor of a data scientist, said that back in 1998, but like many of his sparkling one-liners, it’s more strikingly true now than ever.
At 90, Sowell remains "one of the great minds of the past half century," as host Jason L. Riley puts it in the one-hour PBS documentary Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World, which can be viewed here, but fair warning: This film is a gateway drug. You are bound to get hooked on Sowell, just like many others interviewed in the film. These include podcaster Dave Rubin, a Silicon Valley executive with Overstock.com; a Dallas rapper named Eric July from the band Backwordz; and Sowell’s friend Steven Pinker, the Harvard professor and linguist. Riley, a Wall Street Journal columnist and author, makes a perfect guide because he is the Sowell whisperer: His new book Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell, is about to hit shelves.
In a film written and produced by Tom Jennings, Riley takes us through how Sowell, who lost his dad before he was born and his mother when he was a small child, rose from poverty. His early years he spent in a house with no electricity in North Carolina, then an apartment in Harlem, where a family friend guided him to a love of the Harlem branch of the New York Public Library when he was eight years old. At the University of Chicago, one of his professors was Milton Friedman, who proved unable to talk him out of being a Marxist. What did the trick was a government job. In the Department of Labor, Sowell found that increased minimum wages reduce employment, but this fact interested no one. "People in the government didn’t give a rip whether it worked or not. They were simply implementing the policy," notes another black intellectual, columnist Larry Elder.
Sowell, a longtime economist at Stanford’s Hoover Institute, is, despite being a presence in the newspapers via his syndicated column for decades, tough to nail down for an interview, and there is no new footage of him in this film. But vintage clips showcase a talent for boiling down complex arguments that made him at least as effective a television communicator as WFB, who hosted him on Firing Line. As Sowell’s interests took him from economics to education to family structure to race, immigration, late-speaking children, and why civilizations flourish or fail — all of which subjects he discussed in detail in his many books — he fired off one diamond-tipped one-liner after another. "The first lesson of economics is scarcity," he once wrote. "The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics." He observed, "Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true, but many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly." He said, "The vision of the Left — and I think many conservatives underestimate this — is really a more attractive vision. The only reason for not believing in it is that it doesn’t work." Aaron Hunsaker, the Overstock.com executive who has sleeve tattoos on both arms and more tattoos on his hands and knuckles, marvels that it’s "punk rock to base things off of individual freedoms and thought." Rubin recalls asking Sowell why he stopped being a Marxist: "Uh, facts," was Sowell’s reply.
Pinker, a longtime admirer, conflates Sowell’s amateur interest in photography with his professional ethos. To be a photographer, he notes, paraphrasing Sowell, is to understand that everything is a trade-off. "If you close down the diaphragm you get lots and lots of stuff in focus," Pinker says. "On the other hand, you’re cutting down the amount of light." In matters of public policy, Sowell has said, "There are no solutions, only trade-offs. Just like photography."

Thanks, badanov. We called them the Sakas. Some warrior tribes with martial traditions in North India are of Indo-Scythian ancestry. Most of them serve in the military and police and are easily differentiated from the softer fauna by their frames and strong constitutions.
[WealthGang] It’s not how much you make, it’s how much you keep. Unless, of course, you’re talking about this list of how much income you need to make to be considered rich in every state in America.
The list below, broken out alphabetically by state, shows how much money you need to make to be considered in the top 5% in each state. Some states, like West Virginia and Mississippi, required much lower income to be considered a top earner, while states like California and New Jersey require incomes of $250K+ just to crack the upper echelon. There are even a few shockers on this list, like North Dakota. Who would have thought people there had to make well over $200K to be in the top 5%?
Anyway, here is the list to see where you stack up. Because it’s always good to measure your income against others. It keeps you motivated and it might finally force you to ask for a raise so you, too, can join the top 5%.
Yes, Michael Steele was chairman of the RNC a decade ago, but in recent years he has become a political analyst for MSNBC, advertising spokesman for the infamous Lincoln Project, and endorsed Joe Biden for president. He hasn’t been anywhere near the Republican Party for a long time.
[CNS] Former RNC Chair Michael Steele said Thursday that if Republicans gain power in Congress they’ll "white it up as much as possible," adding that they have no governing ideas except for stopping everything that President Joe Biden tries to do.
During MSNBC’s "The ReidOut," host Joy Reid told The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson that Democrats are afraid that Republicans could pick up more seats in Congress through gerrymandering, and Robinson pointed out that historically, the other party gains seats in Congress in the first mid-term election after the new president is elected.

...adding that they have no governing ideas except for stopping everything that President Joe Biden tries to do.
Let's take a Rantburg poll - how many of you (besides me) think that stopping Biden the next few years is by itself a sufficiently good governing ideal(l)?

GOP needs to clean its own house first, and getting rid of slime and scum such as Lizzy Chaney, Mittens Romney, and Lisa Murkowski would be a decent start.
#6
If Biden or whoever is pulling his strings isn't stopped, this country's economy and finances will be ruined.
Remember: they're into magical numbers now: $6 TRILLION for pork, bullshit and outright graft. 30% of our entire economic output. Pissed away. They're just laughing at us now -- "rubbing our noses in it," as Stephen Green says
The only way these monstrous idiots can even try to pay back the absurd debts he's incurring is by turning this country into a left-wing socialist state with marginal tax rates in the 70% range as we saw in the 1970s.
If this left-wing hard takeover isn't halted in its tracks, there won't be a chance of reforming the GOP.

Trying to be all things to all people got the GOPe Michael Steele. Big tent and focus are not mutually exclusive.

Biden is just the figurehead - it's the people behind him who are doing this. The ValJar's, the Brennan's, the Pelosi's, etc... If Biden keeled over tomorrow it would not make any difference Kamala will replace him as figurehead and appoint another figurehead VP, and so on...
Let not the perfect be the enemy of the good. Both at the same time. Replace the worst of the Republicans in the primary, but regardless which Republican wins in the primary, replacing Democrats with even very imperfect Republicans gets us majority control. It is majority control that allows us to prevent the worst of the Democrat excesses — Presidents Biden/Harris can write executive orders for the rest, but EOs only hold until a Republican is in the White House.
I’m for stopping everything the Biden administration wants to do as an acceptable first step, too.

Considering that idiot was little more than a Lincoln log, demoncrat lover, it makes sense he only would want the old Bush socialist lite Republican party back.
Eat a bag of dicks, fucktard. You are part of the problem that needs to be removed.

Steele is a token, and is now trying to make up for being so ashamed that he danaced like a good little monkey to the Organ Grinder swamp creatures.
The guy is a waste of oxygen.

Steele was made RNC Chair when Obama became President because the RNC was afraid they were looking too white from top to bottom. But Steele took that opportunity to go left with the RNC so the voters chose Donald Trump because he was not a politician. Steele is not and never was from the right.
[AlAhram] The decision of Chair of the Paleostinian Authority the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... to postpone the Paleostinian elections has caused consternation and dismay in Paleostine and the region.
The US reaction to the decision by Abbas has been quite muted and has reflected the low priority the Biden administration gives to the Palestinian question, and, for that matter, to the peace process in the Middle East.
On 16 January, Chair of the Paleostinian Authority (PA) Mahmoud Abbas issued a presidential decree calling for general and presidential elections in the Occupied West Bank, Gazoo
