VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: I regard Steve Sailer and John Derbyshire as the two authentic geniuses (genii?) we have published at VDARE.com, in terms of their apparently inexhaustible flow of new ideas, insights and arguments over a mind-boggling range of subjects. We were honored to host Steve at the VDARE Summer Conference at the...
Read MoreRick Perlstein is a progressive journalist who writes well-regarded books on the history of American conservatism since 1960: So, he's a well-informed person. Hence, I got into a Twitter battle with him. As Walter Sobchak would say, he seemed like a Worthy Foe. It started out with him complaining about speed cameras in Chicago dinging...

Thus, Donald Trump in 2020, while he may have done better among whites because of their innate xenophobic racism, was swept away by the righteous wrath of immigrants. Except ... the opposite happened. From...
Read MoreMy October 14, 2020 Taki's Magazine column "Slaughter in the Cities" quoted a report by liberal social scientist Richard Rosenfeld of the Council on Criminal Justice as showing in 20 big cities: Now, Rosenfeld has updated his report through the end of August:

One trend we've been tracking at iSteve recently is Tiger Children taking over the social justice jihadi racket. You might think that just because you are poor and black that you'd get a leg up in the struggle for, say, a leftist NGO job, but ... look out!
