To understand John McLaughlin, it was helpful to have been a 13-year-old entering an all-boys Jesuit school in the 1950s.

For when John yelled "Wronnng" at me from his center chair of "The McLaughlin Group," it hit with the same familiar finality I had heard, many times, from Jesuits at the front of the class at Gonzaga.

In that era, John was himself a Jesuit teacher at Fairfield Prep, where the black cape he wore and his authoritarian aspect had earned him from his students the nickname—Father God.

In 1970, Fr. John heard another calling, and, declaring himself a liberal Republican, challenged Sen. John Pastore in his home state of Rhode Island. An unamused Sen. Pastore obliterated John by two-to-one.

It was right after this election, while I was vacationing in the Bahamas, that, one mornin Read more >>

See, earlier,  The Amount Of Immigration Patriotism In Donald Trump’s Speech Is Amazing!

James Fulford writes: The Lying Press went crazy over the Donald J. Trump’s very significant August 4 speech in Portland, Maine, typified by the Washington Post’s SHOCK! HORROR!! headline Donald Trump now says even legal immigrants are a security threat [by Jenna Johnson, August 5 2016]), although in fact Trump has been explicitly criticizing legal immigration since at least last summer . Much of the outrage focused on the fact that he’d dared to raise the topic of Somali refugees in Maine (pictured right) who have enriched the place with welfare dependency, Female Genital Mutilation, muggings and rapes . See Donald Trump targets Somali refugees during Portland speech , AP, August 4, 2016. The Cultural Marxist/ Main Stream Media Complex knows it is vulnerable, even in blue-state New England , if the Refugee Racket is exposed.

As far as we can see, neither the Main Stream Media, nor the Trump campaign with its well-known dedication to the New Media, has actually bothered to post the speech. So VDARE.com has transcribed and annotated the immigration portion.

Note that, unlike his more recent speeches, scripted and read from a teleprompter , this is classic Trump extempore—a technique which, while famously effective on the stump , sometimes reads oddly in cold pixel. Normally we edit transcripts, but we’ve not done so here because we don’t want to be accused of putting words into the candidate’s mouth.

Watching the video makes clear, however, that Trump is didn’t need a speech writer to construct this long list of immigrant atrocities, he just needed the facts. This, like the whole speech, is a very good sign.

Donald Trump:

So, we’ve just seen many, many crimes getting worse all the time and as Maine knows, a major destination for Somali refugees, right? Am I right?

[ Cheers from the crowd]

Well, they’re all talking about it: Maine Somali refugees. We admit hundreds of thousands into Maine and into other places into the United States. Hundreds of thousands of refugees, and they are coming from among the most dangerous territories and countries in the world. A practice, which has to stop.

[ Applause]

This isn’t like you are smarter than other people. This is a practice that has to stop. It’s not like we say, “Let’s do something,” we Read more >>

Donald Trump’s recent speeches  [PDF] challenging Hillary Clinton’s claim to the black vote are clearly rattling the Democrats/ Main Stream Media complex e.g. [ It’s hard to imagine a much worse pitch Donald Trump could have made for the black vote, by Philip Bump, Washington Post, August 20, 2016]…perhaps because it might be working [ Shock Poll: Trump’s Black Support Grows 6X in Week, by Neil W. McCabe, Breitbart, August 18 2016], at least with whites [ Trump’s Appeal to Black Voters Was Actually Directed at White Voters, by Ed Kilgore, New York Magazine, August 17, 2016]. Bottom line: looking at the data, Trump is on to something.

Seven and one-half years into the first Black POTUS, Blacks should be taking stock of where he has taken them. This is important not only for historical purposes, but as an insight into where they are likely to be if Hillary Clinton should be elected for what will likely be a de facto third term of Obamanomics.

The picture is quite, well, black. Based on the Obama Administration’s own latest available statistics, Black Americans are worse off today than they were on Inauguration Day 2009. Real, inflation adjusted, median income among Black households sank from $35,954 in 2009 to $35,398 in 2014—a fall of 1.5%. Read more >>

This week we saw some more fruits of Midwestern Nice. By a pleasant concinnity, the scene was Wisconsin's 4th Congressional District, right up against Wisconsin's 1st, where Paul Ryan, the Dark Lord of Midwestern Nice, crushed his enemies in last week's primary.

Those two Congressional Districts are considerably different. District 1, Paul Ryan's, is 91 percent white, less than five percent black. District 4 is only 55 percent white, more than 33 percent black. By contrast with Paul Ryan, whose darkness is entirely spiritual, District 4 actually has a black representative, six-termer Gwen Moore—the first black congresscritter from Wisconsin ever when she was first elected in 2004.

District 4 includes the city of Milwaukee, which is forty percent black. Last weekend an armed black criminal resisting arrest was shot by a (black) cop. A black riot ensued, with cars and businesses burned and, of course, much looting.

Mrs. Clinton and her Social Justice Warriors want to bring in further masses of poor Third Worlders to enhance our nation's diversity. A thoughtful observer might question the wisdom of this in light of our failure to make any progress coping with the diversity we already have.

Look: Next year is the fiftieth anniversary of the 1967 black riots in Detroit, Newark, and, yes, Milwaukee.

Fifty years—two entire human generations—and still they riot. Fifty years of fretting and fussing, of nagging and shaming, of affirmative action and contracting set-asides; fifty years of jobs programs, food programs, billion-dollar overhauls of school systems. Fifty years of pushing role models, black doctors and detectives in movies and TV, black athletes as culture heroes, black actors playing God. Fifty years of Martin Luther King Days, Black History Months, and Kwanzaas. Fifty years of black mayors, black police chiefs, black Attorneys General, a black President…And still they riot.

Wouldn't prudence suggest that we hold off on importing more diversity Read more >>

“War” was the late Andrew Breitbart’s one-word analysis of how American patriots should treat the Lying Press. It’s a war that’s continued even after his death, under the leadership of Steve Bannon. And, as in all wars, the self-declared guardians of “true conservatism” are eager to call retreat.

Leading the charge: the littlest neocon, Ben Shapiro, who, after a career spent posturing against Political Correctness and Safe Spaces, is now moaning about unapproved voices gaining ascendance within the American Right.

He ran to the Washington Post to complain that the “Breitbart Alt Right” had taken over the GOP following Steven Bannon’s elevation in the Trump campaign. Shapiro claims the Alt Right is different from “constitutional conservatism”:

Constitutional conservatives can’t stand the Alt Right. Conservatives—real conservatives—believe that only a philosophy of limited government,
