So, if each one of the 6,000 National
Guardsmen was on patrol an average of, say, 21 hours per week (which is
1/8th of the 168 hours in a week), that would provide one soldier per 2.6
miles of border.

"Every assistant D.A. in the Bronx … shared Captain Ahab's mania
for the Great White Defendant. For a start, it was not pleasant to go

Richard
Lynn's Race Differences in Intelligence
|
VDARE.com
|
4/23/06
|
|
A common stratagem, I've found, is to assume that IQ differences matter
only if they are genetic in origin. Since no decent, civilized,
right-thinking person could possibly believe that racial differences in IQ
have any genetic basis, then racial and national differences in average IQ
can't possibly exist. Except — whatever their cause, they do exist and
do matter.

The lack of accountability and integrity in the mainstream press is

The genetic science is progressing so fast that we'll know soon enough—perhaps
two decades to be rock solid certain. We know which way the scientific
wind is blowing right now, but even if we ignore that, wouldn't the
prudent action be to wait a couple of decades, to restrict immigration and
refrain from utopian foreign adventures, until the science is in?

Danes and Muslims don't agree on the basics of social organization and

problem. It's what separate countries are for. But due to mass
immigration, it is in fact becoming a huge stumbling block.

What the DNA researchers are uncovering as they scrape away the blather of

Embarrassingly for The Economist, two days before Christmas came a

|
|
TIM Harford
evidently hopes his new book "The Undercover Economist" joins
the apostolic succession of 2005's pop social science bestsellers that
began with Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink." Just as the hugely
popular "Freakonomics" by economist Steven D. Levitt and
journalist Stephen J. Dubner flaunted a front-cover blurb from Gladwell,
"The Undercover Economist" splashes Levitt's "Required

VDARE.com
|
12/18/05
|
|
In that harbinger of the American future, Southern California, once the
Promised Land of the middle class, unskilled labor has become so plentiful
that now a common weekend sight is people who are paid to stand on corners
and try to catch your eye by randomly wiggling brightly colored
directional arrows, typically pointing to real estate open houses. It's
the 21st Century equivalent of the Depression-era advertising practice of
hiring unemployed men to walk around wearing sandwich board signs saying
"Eat at Joe's." And it's just as depressing.

|
A recent BBC documentary revealed that 55 percent of married Pakistanis in
Britain are wed to first cousins! That's even a little higher than the
inbreeding rates seen in Pakistan—probably because Muslims in Europe use
cousin marriage as an engine of immigration fraud.

A push-pull policy could be very effective in getting Muslims to go away. European countries should combine the push of a crackdown on welfare and crime with the pull of a buy-out offer. Returning to the Old Country with a sizable nest egg would be alluring to many who haven't assimilated into the European middle

Last summer, when Alberto Gonzales's name was first floated as replacement
for Sandra Day O'Connor, Bush lashed out at conservatives for their tepid
response. Sounding like a cross between Don Corleone and the narrator of Green
Eggs and Ham, the president bristled, "I don’t like it when a
friend gets criticized. I'm loyal to my friends. And all of a sudden this
fellow, who is a good public servant and a really fine person, is under
fire. And so, do I like it? No, I don't like it at all."

It has become a journalistic cliché that keeping down working class wages

All September, ever since the New Orleans Nightmare became evident on
September 1st, the hysteria built among the political and media elite over

The tragic conundrum is that the young men who could most benefit from serving a hitch in the Army, the decent but not too bright 18-year-olds who are on the knife-edge between getting their act together and falling into a lifetime of drugs and crime, are the ones least likely to

of Duke U. is how, after 35 years of institutionalized feminism, student
sexuality hasn't progressed into an egalitarian utopia. Instead, it has
regressed to something that a caveman would understand—a Hobbesian
sexual marketplace where muscles are the measure of the man.

It’s supposed to be an attack on my
interpretation of the 2004 presidential election results. But a close
reading shows that it largely supports my contention: the President's
unlimited open borders plan would both be bad for the Republican Party (by
importing more future Democrats than Republicans) and would not make the
GOP more popular with current Hispanic voters.

Millions of Democrats have consoled
themselves with a chart claiming to show that the average IQ in Kerry
states is much higher than in Bush states. It's the same hoax I exposed
last May, but now I have a new table

it's still interesting.

Bush's scores on the Air Force Officer

this is first article to publish Kerry's score on the Navy's Officer
Qualification Test. The two tests aren't perfectly comparable. But they
provide no evidence that Kerry is smarter. If anything, Bush is smarter
than Kerry.

Worries about Japanese attacks on the West
Coast were not simply a rationalization to drive out the Japanese
Americans. Serious decisions were based on these concerns. For instance,
the huge Kaiser steel mill, where the Liberty boats were to be built, was
situated well inland in Fontana, California, precisely to be out of range
of Japanese battleships.
