My new column on how Australia has solved it racial gap problem: by making it illegal to point out that the high-achieving Aborigines featured on TV appear to be white people:
Strikingly, both of the Aboriginal-identifying accusers dishing on other Australian female grievance studies academics claiming to be "Aboriginal" themselves wear their hair blond. Grieve-Williams looks rather like Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana:
And the officially Aboriginal Suzanne Ingram, who complains of whites horning in on the Aboriginal gravy train in "The Australian," resembles a Danish milkmaid:
In contrast, here's a picture of a full-blooded Australian Aborigine who walked in out of the Bush in 1984:
The Aboriginal academics and pundits who appear on Australian TV to articulate what they claim to be the grievances of Aborigines don't actually look much like Aborigines.
Note that the last band of wild Australian Aborigines to come in out of the Bush in 1984 were lean and healthy back then.
Aborigines have had fewer generations than even the rest of us to evolve cultural and genetic adaptations to the too-muchness of the Holocene:
In the U.S., Rachel Dolezal is excoriated for declaring hereself black. But in Australia, white people who look like Jim Carrey are encouraged to declare themselves Aboriginal based on the One Drop of Blood theory, and the Establishment come down like a ton of bricks on skeptics.
Australia is full of path-breaking "first ever Indigenous" professors of this or that who look like wily veteran relief pitchers from Scottsdale, Arizona. For example:
In Australia today, there are two types of Aborigines: the fair-skinned Celtic / Nordic-looking kind who are thriving as professors of Aborigines Studies and as Aborigine activists and pundits ... and then there are the ones who look like Aborigines.
"... if Pfizer had held to the original plan, the data would likely have been available in October, as its CEO, Albert Bourla, had initially predicted."
One of the most extraordinary facts about the 2020 election: that Trump was likely denied his hoped-for October Surprise of a near-miraculous breakthrough in vaccines because Pfizer shut down work on the world's most important clinical trial until the day after the election.
Virtually no Trump supporters are aware of how Trump was denied his October (or November 2, 2020) Surprise of a colossal breakthrough in vaccines because they lean instead toward lowbrow anti-vaxx thinking.
Thomas "Gravity's Rainbow" Pynchon's casting choices for golfer biopics:
"Owen Wilson as Jack Nicklaus, Hugh Grant in 'The Phil Mickelson Story,': and "here’s Christopher Walken, starring in 'The Chi Chi Rodriguez Story,'" with "Gene Hackman in a cameo as Arnold Palmer"
I'd like to see Michael Pena in "The Lee Trevino Story."
Hugh Grant, I am told, spends much of his time in big money golf games at Royal St. George in Sandwich, which sounds like what Phil Mickelson would do if he were an English movie star.
Thomas Pynchon's choice of Christopher Walken as Puerto Rican golf pro Chi Chi Rodriguez sounds weird, but Chi Chi had slightly unsettling movie star good looks, which is how he wound up on the cover of Devo's first album:
Traffic fatalities among blacks soared as the Racial Reckoning was declared after George Floyd's death on 5/25/2020.
The triumph of BLM got more blacks killed in two separate ways: in murders and in 36% more black traffic fatalities in June-December 2020. takimag.com/article/the-ra…
Traffic fatalities among the nonblack 87% of the US population also went up as the police retreated to the donut shop during the Racial Reckoning, but much less than did black road deaths.
As has previously been noted, in 2020 total traffic fatalities among all Americans were 7% higher overall than in 2019 and a ridiculous 23% higher per mile driven.
But black road deaths were up 23% in 2020 and 36% higher in the seven months following George Floyd's death.
@ModeledBehavior It's admirable that Jewish intellectuals tend to be so tradition-minded, so ethnocentric, so inclined to venerate their ancestors that they've rewritten American history to make Emma Lazarus the Founding Mother and Ellis Island the Plymouth Rock.
@ModeledBehavior But it's a little alarming that Jews seem less and less to realize that the joke they've put over on the rest of Americans in hyping their ancestors' arrival at Ellis Island as the founding event of American history is a funny put-on, not serious history.
@ModeledBehavior As the generations go by, fewer and fewer Jewish intellectuals seem to get the joke that when their forefathers turned the "wretched refuse" poem into the National Mission Statement in the mid-20th Century, they were just doing it out of ethnic egocentrism.
Here's the black percentage of all known murder offenders from FBI crime stats for 1980-2019. Relatively, blacks behaved best in 1984 and worst in 1993 during the Crack Wars. But God knows how bad the figure for 2020 will be.
Here's another way of looking at the same FBI data on the black share of known murder offenders, this time emphasizing that, year after year, blacks make up about half of known murder offenders in the US.

The average black NFL draft pick ran the 40 yard dash in 4.62 seconds while the average white NFL draft pick's time was 4.96, meaning about 85%-90% of black draft picks are faster than the average white draft pick.
In "Wonderlic, Race, and the NFL Draft," economists Gill and Brajer found a greater than a standard deviation racial disparity in average 40-yard-dash time among black NFL draft picks (4.62) and white picks (4.96).
Black NFL draft picks averaged 19.76 right on the NFL draft combine's Wonderlic IQ test, while white NFL draft picks averaged 27.7, meaning about 85% of black draft picks score lower than the average white draft pick.
