By Brenda Walker on September 17, 2009 at 10:37pm

Occasionally in Washington, the truth plops out, in this case something we knew all along: when the 20-30 million illegal aliens get amnesty, they will be eligible for Obamacare. They will be rewarded for breaking the law, a bit of politics that 83 percent of Americans rejected in a recent Rasmussen poll.

Barney Frank's New Bill to Expand the Community Reinvestment Act

By Steve Sailer on September 17, 2009 at 10:11pm

Nothing succeeds like failure.

Here's a press release from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition:

Expansion of Community Reinvestment Act Would Promote Economic Security and Financial Inclusion for

For ... whom? Can't you guys at least finish your titles? I'm imagine in your "Who? Whom?" equation, I'll end up a Whom, but I don't think the end of your sentence was going to be "for Steve Sailer's Family."

Outsourcing New York City Schools

By Rob Sanchez on September 17, 2009 at 2:53pm

I reported in August that the New York school system was replacing its computer/IT department with over-priced H-1B visa holders, ostensibly to cut labor costs. These "consultants" bill New York at the rate of $250,000 a year so it's not clear how the schools save money

I have a question. If Obama promises both:

A) to block illegal aliens from benefiting from his 2009 health plan, and

B) to legalize illegal aliens in his 2010 immigration plan that he announced last month in Mexico ...

Ziel at Your Lying Eyes:

Now Jimmy Carter is joining the "Joe Wilson's Outburst Was About Race" chorus. While using the "race card" to stifle criticism of the president is a concern, perhaps there's a silver lining? Perhaps there is a growing realization that, when it comes to pretty much everything, it's all about race?

26 months into the mortgage meltdown, we still lack basic data about the borrowers who failed to pay back their loans.

Ann Coulter on Obama, Rep. Wilson, Lying, and Immigration

By James Fulford on September 17, 2009 at 3:09am

Ann Coulter is an exponent of what Peter Brimelow calls the "Thick End Of The Wedge" theory of argument. Instead of trying to carefully, moderately, move the debate by inserting the "thin end of the wedge"--this is FAIR's approach, and much good has it done them--you

My Taki Column On Country Music

By Steve Sailer on September 17, 2009 at 3:08am

My Wednesday column on Taki's Magazine is up. It's a reflection on the permanent features of country music that you notice from an HBD-aware perspective:
