[Daily Caller] Conservative political pundit Larry Elder visited Fox News on Thursday to discuss a new study that claims "structural racism" contributes to black-on-black crime.
Elder dismissed the central claim of the study — that anti-black racism is the cause of urban violence — and instead argued that fatherlessness within black families is to blame. Elder also said that white people should not be made responsible for black-on-black crime. (RELATED: California Wants To Let Deadbeat Dads Off The Hook For Racial Equity)
"Well, you know, we just had gay Pride Month. Maybe it’s time for a ’let’s take it easy on the white man month.’ The sad truth is that 60% of the shootings, the robberies, the homicides in America are committed by black people. The sad truth is half of the homicide victims in America are black, almost all killed by other blacks," Elder told host Laura Ingraham.
"According to the CDC, a young black man age 10 to 43, I’m not making this up, is 13 times more likely to be murdered than a young white man. And contrary to what Joe Biden said at Howard University recently, they ain’t being killed by white supremacists. They’re being killed by other blacks. Now, unless you’re prepared to say black people are just genetically inclined to commit more crime, you have to ask yourself ’what the devil’s going on?’ And what the devil’s going on is the 10,000 pound elephant in the room, which is the epidemic of fatherlessness. Seventy percent of black kids enter the world today without a father in the home married to the mother," Elder said.

Recognizing the truth requires dismantling incentives that promote fatherless. Traditional families will remain under attack from all sides because the power and control of communism is impossible to achieve in a society with strong family structures.

3 Quotes by the Rev. Jesse Jackson himself, some made 20+ years ago, sum up the long known B.O.B. crime issue.
1.) "Each year ... about 7,000 African-Americans are murdered, more than nine times out of 10 by other African-Americans,"
2.) "We must face the No. 1 critical issue of our day. It is youth crime in general and black-on-black crime in particular. There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."
3.) "It is time for us to turn to each other, not on each other."
[NYT] The world’s demographics have already been transformed. Europe is shrinking. China is shrinking, with India, a much younger country, overtaking it this year as the world’s most populous nation.
But what we’ve seen so far is just the beginning.
The projections are reliable, and stark: By 2050, people age 65 and older will make up nearly 40 percent of the population in some parts of East Asia and Europe. That’s almost twice the share of older adults in Florida, America’s retirement capital. Extraordinary numbers of retirees will be dependent on a shrinking number of working-age people to support them.
In all of recorded history, no country has ever been as old as these nations are expected to get.
As a result, experts predict, things many wealthier countries take for granted — like pensions, retirement ages and strict immigration policies — will need overhauls to be sustainable. And today’s wealthier countries will almost inevitably make up a smaller share of global G.D.P., economists say.
This is a sea change for Europe, the United States, China and other top economies, which have had some of the most working-age people in the world, adjusted for their populations. Their large work forces have helped to drive their economic growth.
Those countries are already aging off the list. Soon, the best-balanced work forces will mostly be in South and Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East, according to U.N. projections. The shift could reshape economic growth and geopolitical power balances, experts say.

Get rid of Ponzi schemes like Social Security. I know, I collect Social Security benefits. I don't feel bad about it because throughout my working life the government stole money from me and now they're giving it back to me in dribs and drabs. How much better off would I be if all that money they stole from me and millions of others was instead invested in a 401(k) or even just put it into a savings account? And who says at age 65 you magically get to stop working and become a burden on everybody who must continue to work? Why, the government of course! I say you quit working when you can afford to do so and that's only if you want to quit or can no longer do the work.

All things the same, maybe.
But the NYT model assumes that AI, automation, and robotics will not make up the slack in these industrialized countries which to allow BRICs their moment to shine (which i think is nyt's point).

Has there been any serious writing about the degree to which the establishment of Social Security altered the balance of risk vs. reward in the stock market?
[Breitbart] Corporate media outlets are helping Democrats claim that President Joe Biden has reduced the monthly inflow of illegal economic migrants.
“Migrant numbers at the southern border dropped sharply in June in the full first month after the ending of the Title 42 public health order,” said a report at Fox News.
“Border officials apprehended 99,545 individuals in between ports of entry at the U.S.-Mexico border last month, the first time this figure has fallen below 100,000 since February 2021,” Politico.com claimed July 18. “It’s a 42 percent decline from May, when the Biden administration implemented a series of new immigration policies.”
‘”Border apprehensions at lowest level since February 2021,” said the headline at TheHill.com.
“Migrant crossings along U.S.-Mexico border plummeted in June amid stricter asylum rules,” claimed CBS News.
But the official numbers cited by establishment media outlets hide the growing migrant inflow via the many quasi-legal side doors that Biden’s deputies are cutting through the border, say immigration reformers.
Homeland Secretary Alejandro “Mayorkas is playing a massive shell game,” said Rep. Mark Green, the chairman of the House Committee on homeland security. “The outcome — tens of thousands of inadmissible aliens [are] entering Customs and Border Patrol and being released into the country,” he said on July 19. “Secretary Mayorkas’s insistence that this is legal is a lie,” he added.
“Encounters of illegal migrants by the Border Patrol at the Southwest Border were down in June, but only because the Biden administration has invented other means of allowing large numbers of inadmissible aliens to enter the country,” said a July 19 statement from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. (FAIR), adding:
When it comes to illegal immigration, the Biden administration’s strategy is to make it less visible to the American public, not to rein in the unprecedented flow of migrants. Their strategy entails redirecting migrants away from crossing between ports of entry, by allowing them to enter through land ports of entry or to fly directly to the United States. They have done so through the blatant abuse of parole authority and by encouraging a growing number of illegal migrants to use the CBP One phone app.
The official numbers also hide the number of “gateways” who are allowed to sneak across the poorly guarded border. Those three uncounted categories add up to at least 80,000 migrants per month.
That monthly inflow adds to roughly one million illegal migrants per year — or one illegal migrant for every four births. That huge population spike shifts vast wealth away from ordinary Americans to employers and real estate investors, for example, by inflating the cost of housing.
JUNE NUMBERS
The Department of Homeland Security claimed that 144,571 migrants were allowed across the border in June — or almost 5,000 per day:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) today released operational statistics for June 2023, which show a significant and continuing decline in migrant encounters along the Southwest border as well as successful drug interdiction efforts resulting from new enforcement initiatives. CBP’s total encounters along the Southwest border in June were the lowest in over two years, dropping nearly a third from May.
The June number is down from the 199,027 migrants all0wed in December 2022, although it is also up from the February welcome to 78.652 migrants:
Graphs can be seen at the link.
The June 144,571 number includes a rapidly rising inflow of migrants via the “CBO One” scheduling software. The inflow is planned to reach roughly 1,450 people per day via the Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the border ports. This CBP One gateway nudges many would-be illegal migrants away from chaotic border crossings, helping officials claim the border is under control:
The DHS buried the CBP One inflow in the small print of a monthly report, just above a section titled “Protecting Consumers and Eradicating Forced Labor from Supply Chains.” The admission says:
In June, more than 38,000 individuals who scheduled appointments through the CBP One app were processed at a point of entry.
Since the appointment scheduling function in CBP One was introduced in January through the end of June, more than 170,000 individuals have successfully scheduled appointments to present at a port of entry using CBP One. The top nationalities who have scheduled appointments are Haitian, Mexican, and Venezuelan. Beginning on July 1, CBP announced the expansion of available appointments for noncitizens through the CBP One app from 1,250 to 1,450 per day.
Moreover, the agency is also importing another 30,000 migrants each month directly from their homelands in Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua, even though the autocratic dictators control three of those countries. The inflow adds another 360,000 wage-cutting migrants per year while also weakening pro-democracy movements in the three autocracies.
The Cuban-born Mayorkas has also declared a “humanitarian” program to import at least 100,000 people from Colombia and Central America.
Border officials have also relaxed curbs on the airport arrival of workers carrying B-1/B-2 tourist visas. Their hands-off policy also allows a rapid increase in white-collar illegals who overstay their legal visas to take middle-class jobs from American graduates.
Mayorkas has also minimized the deportation of illegal migrants.
In addition, the White House is allowing more Mexicans to migrate to the United States seeking jobs and homes. This benefit for Mexico is being provided in exchange for Mexico’s decision to use its police to stabilize the flow of global migrants from the southern border up to Biden’s welcome at the U.S. border. The inflow of Mexicans spiked to 50,000 in July, up from 15,000 per month before May.
This Biden inflow has allowed 3.2 million migrants across the border since Biden’s inauguration, in addition to the annual inflow of roughly 1 million legal migrants.
This policy ensures that the federal government welcomes at least two legal and illegal migrants for every four American births.
Biden’s deputies justify their mass illegal migration as good for the economy and “equity” between Americans and distant foreigners.
“We cannot have the rights and the needs of individuals who are seeing humanitarian relief in the United States be exploited for political purposes” by curbs on migration, Mayorkas told ABC News in January 2023.

Evidently, you’re not illegal if you use the app.

Simply put.
Illegals don't gripe moan, groan strike or run to lawyers.
Employers save by not paying local, the State or Fed's taxes almost equal to the hourly wages in some state & Metro areas.
The illegals will work longer hours in uncomfortable conditions and off the books.
Will work at,or below Min wage & w/o medical coverages.
The employer ... IF caught, pays a fine usually less than the amount saved hiring the illegals.
Some employers have even called and quietly arranged an INS pick to avoid paying the illegals wages. A few cases of INS agents caught taking $$$ to do it.
Text taken from the V Kontakte page of SOVEREIGN
When the Royal family was deported to Tobolsk in August 1917, all the Imperial servants had the opportunity to leave the service, but K. G. Nagorny (dismissed on indefinite leave) preferred to stay with the family of the abdicated Monarch and voluntarily went into exile with them.

Historically, when Socialism takes hold. It quickly moves to eliminate the right wing leadership and/or existing ruling party.
Stalin vs. Russia Rulers
Mao vs. Chinese Rulers.
NAZI's vs. Germany
Khmer Rouge vs Cambodia Rulers
LSD's DC Coup vs. MAGA & TRUMP
Then having eliminated leadership challengers, they have all have turned on their citizens and curtailed their Civil Rights using various national emergencies and excuses. Then murdered millions.
[American Thinker] Who is the Emperor? The cabal that is prepared to do anything, no matter how unconstitutional, no matter how evil, to destroy Donald Trump. That would be Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Jack Smith. Of course this trio of thugs has many cohorts willing to do their dirty work.
What kind of dirty work? The kind that has made judges, the mainstream media, and most members of Congress fear being cancelled. The left’s method of coercion is well-known. Cross us and your career is over. Read Alan Dershowitz’s book, Get Trump. The elites who believe they are uniquely entitled to run the country will cancel you, harass you, ruin you by any means necessary. They will go after anyone who dares to deviate from their party line.
American culture has become a cesspool of abject cowardice. And by design, now that the elites — our stable of Ivy League legacy grads who grew up knowing they would run the world without having to really know anything -- are in charge. We are living in a dystopia of their making. It’s all about leverage; everyone has some kind of leverage on everyone else, so they do what they are told.
That is how Jeffrey Epstein got away with his obscene abuse of young girls trafficked for the pleasure of his rich pals for decades. Think Sound of Freedom and the fact that the US is the number one consumer of child porn and abuse. Why does the left fear this film? Hmmm.
Donald Trump is so far ahead in the polls to be the Republican candidate for President that the primaries may well be over. Naturally this enrages the anti-Trump left and their RINO colleagues, so they are willing to destroy the Constitution and our once lofty system of justice to take him down and out. The possibly certifiably psychopathic Jack Smith, under the auspices of the equally power-mad Merrick Garland, is like one of Stalin’s functionaries who delighted in torturing and then murdering anyone Stalin deemed inconvenient. (Read Darkness at Noon).
Smith is so obviously out of control, so desperately inventing ridiculous charges with which to indict Trump, that he is telegraphing his own horror at Trump’s massive support among the American people. He must think that all these legal tribulations will ruin the man and defeat his supporters, but it is only making them angrier at the unconstitutionality of it all and boosting his support. Smith and his fellow goons quite naturally think that the American people are morons ripe for the totalitarian agenda they have planned for us all.

The classic American political, cultural and capitalist system, was formed over time by the genius of our foundational structure, Judeo-Christian morality, Western civilizations burst of intellectual creativity and dominance, overwhelming social conformity, faith in our exceptionalism and the gift of enormous natural resources.
Every single aspect has been tied-down, restrained and diluted by the massive, Lilliputian minions of the administrative state at the federal and state levels. Every single tool of state power and coercion is in the hands of people, predominantly leftists (or worse) whose greatest fear is a return to the un-fettered past and the risk of losing the sweet-ride that has become tenured civil service. Trump is the greatest threat imaginable, and he must be destroyed/stopped/defeated/jailed/disgraced to protect "democracy", their code word for the status quo of their lives.
Tragically, some amongst them must even see the terminal decline America is facing as their suffocation is literally killing the host of their parasitical existence. But any waivering requires more courage then they possess, and, when discovered by fellow travelers, would be ruthlessly dealt with by the end of the ride.
This has been coming for a while, but Obama/Biden has put the national trajectory into a flat-spin which increasingly feels unrecoverable to those of us in economy!
[Federalist] "If you want to know what really, really matters, to [the regime], and to you, and to the future of the country, consider the things that you are not allowed to say," Tucker Carlson told his audience of young people during a Turning Point USA speech on the heels of his interviews with Republican primary candidates in Iowa.
These unsayable things, Carlson said, are easy to pinpoint because wrongthink seems to be the only "crime" that’s consistently and seriously penalized in contemporary America. Rapists and murderers go unprosecuted in American blue cities. "[B]urning down buildings, impoverishing people, starting totally counterproductive wars we can’t win that kill a lot of our citizens, [and] leaving the border open so 7 million people can walk across" are "never punished."

[American Thinker] According to a study recently published in the journal Science, and latched onto by USAToday, more than 400,000 years ago, Greenland was actually green. Yes, scientists say, the massive island was an ice-free landscape, and was perhaps even covered with trees.
This is important to know, avers study co-lead author Paul Bierman of the University of Vermont, because it tells us "Greenland's ice sheet is fragile." Bierman stated: "All by itself, during a warm period very similar to today, the ice sheet melted away 400,000 years ago. That was without fossil fuel emissions into the atmosphere."
An ice sheet melted "all by itself?" Here is a "scientist" telling us that we must immediately change our lifestyles and bankrupt our economies to prevent something that occurred naturally and without human influence 400,000 years ago!
After Greenland’s ice sheet turned to water, whined the climate alarmists, the sea-level rose at least 5 feet.
This caused the fish-wrap factory USAToday to solemnly observe: "This means that the ice sheet on Greenland may be more sensitive to human-caused climate change than previously thought — and will be vulnerable to irreversible, rapid melting in the coming centuries."
Say what?! No, it means that the ice sheet on Greenland was provably sensitive to non-human-caused climate change (warming)...and that the melting is reversible...because that is exactly what occurred after the last melting, and why Greenland is more frozen than green today!
For some reason, the birdcage liner USAToday chose University of Pennsylvania meteorologist Michael Mann, who was not part of the study and whose "hockey stick" graph of global warming has been widely discredited, to review the "study." Mann obligingly expectorated: "We are coming perilously close to some potentially critical climate tipping points."

How's climate expert Mann's suit against Mark Steyn coming? Last I heard, Mann agreed to provide his data to the Canadian judge to to demonstrate he had actually been defamed.
(Paraphrasing Steyn) 'Mann is from Penn State but he belongs in the State Pen."

Actually Greenland was green during the time of the Viking settlements along with L'Anse aux Meadows settlement in Canada. Then things cooled down.

Weasel words and equivocations on steroids:
"We are coming..." How fast we can't say
"...perilously close" How close is that? And perilous, scary!
" ...to some potentially critical" which are not as certain as mostly critical or really critical?
" ...climate tipping points." We don't know what they are, or how they work, but we know they are out there somewhere in the dark beyond the campfire's light and they are bad!
