1/ After the overwhelmingly positive response to my viral comments on Vivek Ramaswamy's post, I expanded it by pulling some relevant excerpts from my chapter on Silicon Valley in The Unprotected Class.

I think this will add some useful facts and data to a discussion that is currently a bit light on them. 2/ I also offer some additional commentary speaking to my personal experiences here and how the Tech right and MAGA/Nationalist right can find common ground.

🧵

1/ @Steve_Sailer has a post up on his Sub***ck with this powerful image from a 1973 Time cover story on Minnesota in 1973, and an almost identical gesture from the Minneapolis riots almost a half century later.

It gets to the heart of why Tim Walz is so dangerous. . . 2/ The entire piece is here, and it's brief but sobering reading.

1/ This is one of the best investigative pieces I have ever written, as fresh today as when I first published it three years ago.

It's a story of corrupt Democrats and cowardly Republicans who worked hand-in-glove to inscribe anti-whiteness in our holiday calendar.

Buckle up. 2/ The public (exoteric) meaning of Juneteenth couldn't be more benign.

Who could object to honoring the end of slavery, an event that all Americans celebrate.

1/ Launch day!

As of today my book is available instantly on Kindle, available for immediate delivery in hardcover, and it will be available (in the next few days) in audiobook format.

You can read some of the early plaudits in the thread below.

Please RT to spread the word! 2/ @TuckerCarlson

1/ "White Genocide" is supposedly a "white supremacist conspiracy theory" according to YouTube/Wikipedia.

But you know who would have almost certainly disagreed with that?

Raphael Lemkin-- The Polish Jewish lawyer who invented the term "genocide"

Read on to learn why. . .

2/ Lemkin developed the concept of genocide during World War II and, after the war, working closely with the prosecutors during the Nuremberg trials, he further refined it.

His proposals were the centerpiece of what became the United Nations Convention on Genocide.

🧵

1/ The contrast between Bushnell's self-immolation and the most famous modern self-immolation (that of Thích Quảng Đức in South Vietnam in 1963) tells you so much about the state and status of young white left-wing men in America today.

2/ When the Buddhist monk Đức famously self-immolated he did so to to protest the violation of the rights of *his* people, the Buddhist majority of South Vietnam, from unjust discrimination and persecution by their government.

1/

#FanniWillis went to Emory School of Law, where the average LSAT this year was 168.

In her graduation year, approximately 14 African American women in the entire country scored over 170 on the LSAT.

And you can be sure they all went to Harvard and Yale, not Emory. 2/

Fanni Willis is what happens when affirmative action mediocrities are promoted far above their abilities.

Corruption and incompetence reign.

🧵

1/ For the first time maybe in decades, the Right has the Left exactly where they want them on immigration

Yet @LeaderMcConnell (he of the 6% approval rating) utterly squandered our advantage.

Why?

My latest piece @theammind.

americanmind.org/salvo/mcconnel… 2/ What motivated McConnell to completely flub the best issue for the GOP, when Biden was badly on the defensive?

Was it incompetence?

A love of cheap labor?

Desperation to get $ to Ukraine?

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter.

🧵

1/ As I did for Iowa, I wanted to do a quick NH vote analysis.

Bottom Line: As the New York Times data reporter @Nate_Cohn wrote:

"New Hampshire was just about the ideal state for Nikki Haley. It doesn’t get better from here."

Here's why. . . 2/ First, This is a REPUBLICAN primary, and Trump dominated among Republicans winning 74% of their votes, despite Haley's endorsement by the popular NH GOP GOV.

Haley made it "respectable" by racking up large margins among indies and Dems who don't vote in most GOP primaries.

1/ White Americans are “quiet quitting” our leading institutions.

This has potentially profound consequences for America’s future that are just beginning to reveal themselves.

More on this trend in this thread and in the article linked below.

amgreatness.com/2024/01/22/whi… 2/ Quiet Quitting as a trend emerged during COVID.

Simply put, if people perceive their jobs to have no value and meaning, they do no more than absolutely necessary.

During COVID, remote work made this easier to do for many workers.

1/ Need a last-minute stocking stuffer?

I’m delighted to announce that my new book, The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism is Tearing America Apart is now available for pre-order.

I think It’s great, but don’t take my word for it . . .

. .amazon.com/Unprotected-Cl… 2/ "In a country where being racist is the ultimate sin, how has our ruling class gotten away with attacking the majority of Americans on the basis of their race? The answer is scary, and this outstanding book explains."

1/ Some were surprised yesterday that an African American Judge, Rossie Alston Jr. was the person to temporarily save the Confederate Memorial, dedicated to reconciliation between North and South, in Arlington National Cemetery.

But they shouldn't be.

A 🧵: 2/ Frederick Douglass was one of the great Americans of the 19th century. An escaped slave, his writing and oratory made him one of the pre-eminent figures of the abolitionist movement, an international celebrity, and probably the most prominent African American of his time.

1/ Today at Arlington National Cemetery, they will tear down a memorial built to celebrate reconciliation between North and South.

But commanding American General and President U.S. Grant had a dramatically different view of reconciliation than the monument wreckers.

A 🧵:

2/ Grant chose the pallbearers for his funeral.
He picked Union General Sherman and Sheridan, and Confederate Generals Gen. Buckner and Gen. Johnston.

Union and Confederate officers in the procession rode together in the same carriages.

🧵1/ Meet @profMSinha.

She's President-elect 2024 of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic

She didn't like my tweet on the Confederate monument removal and wrote a punctuation-free response complaining about it.

And she's a liar. 2/I've blocked her because I don't want dishonest trolls polluting my timeline, no matter how "distinguished" their pedigree.

She's a very prominent historian, but if I were teaching high school history and she gave this definition of "reconciliation" I'd fail her.

1/ Within the next several days, barring intervention from Congress, the Biden Regime, in violation of the law, will remove the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, commissioned to celebrate the reconciliation of North and South.

@blueandgray1864 @oilfieldRando 2/ The memorial is considered the masterwork of the renowned Jewish-American sculptor Sir Moses Ezekiel (a former Confederate soldier who was described by his biographer as “adamantly opposed to slavery") who is buried at its base.

1/ A 🧵 on Dorrance Dance, the dance company that produced the Hunger Games vibe video that Jill Biden shared with the world:

Did you think, sweet summer child, that this group was featured by chance?

🤣🤣

Dorrance has radical, anti-white racist, anti-police politics. 2/ They feature petitions on their site to, among other things, "Defund the Police", "Stop ICE from Poisoning Immigrants" and a variety of other far-left causes

1/ Ignore all of the pundit hyperventiliating When all is said and done, assuming he lives up to his reputation, the election of @RepMikeJohnson as Speaker is a *major* victory for @mattgaetz and his insurgent allies.

2/ Johnson is *much* better than McCarthy. The best you could say for McCarthy (who remember, elevated Liz Cheney to leadership in only her second term) is that he was an ideologically weak empty suit who would at least deal transactionally with conservatives.

Thread:

1/ This and @TuckerCarlson's monologue tonight remind me of a story I heard the late Secretary of State George Shultz tell a few times during the years I worked for him.

https://twitter.com/AmandaMilius/status/1668827864895029248

2/ He had just taken the job and had gone to a country (in Latin America as I recall) to meet with our embassy staff and they were very upset with some policy Reagan was putting forward.

🧵

1/ Ten years ago today, Dominique Venner, a French right-wing scholar, former soldier in French Algeria, and former political prisoner, went into the Cathedral of Notre Dame, walked up to the high altar, pulled out an automatic pistol, and calmly shot himself in the head. 2/ The gesture, intentionally echoed the suicide of the great Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, whom Venner greatly admired, who committed ritual suicide at the Japanese Military academy after failing to convince the officers to return to the Samurai tradition.

THREAD:

1/

Transgender-identifying Montana House member "Zooey Zephyr" became a media celebrity when he accused the MT GOP of "having blood on their hands" after passing a bill to block genital and hormonal mutilation of children.

But who IS "Zooey Zephyr?"-- Let's discuss 2/

Zephyr's original speech (clearly totally out of bounds for a legislative debate) first brought him to major national attention after an initial burst of interest when he was elected in 2022.

1/ This is a *very* interesting story from @mirandadevine, author of "The Laptop from Hell" about Hunter Biden.

And it's particularly interesting to me because I know one of the principal players in it, currently jailed in Cyprus for arms smuggling.

nypost.com/2023/03/22/hun… 2/ In my "other life" off Twitter, I spent many years as an energy and environmental policy analyst and scholar.

In that context, I got to know @GalLuft , director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) in D.C.
