[ZMan] When trying to understand what has gone so terribly wrong with the Occident, observers often point to intelligence as the main driver. The populations of the West are getting dumber, so they are less capable than in the past. This is not to say there are no geniuses today or that there are fewer of them. It’s that their proportion of society is smaller than in the past. It is the smart fraction that is getting smaller. As a result, the progress of the West has slowed and may be in reverse.
The typical way this is explained is this way. Imagine a man dragging a sack of rocks down a road. If he is a large man and the sack has only a few rocks, he can drag the sack as fast as he could walk without it. If on the other hand, he is a small man and the sack has many rocks, he will move much smaller than his capacity. This will show up most prominently when his path is not clear. He may even come to a halt when he comes to a hill or a long incline.
Now, one reason for this decline in intelligence, is the mass invasion from outside the Occident over the last fifty years. Minneapolis is now a dysfunctional city because of the importation of sub-Saharan Africans. The sorts of people who think Ilhan Omar is a great leader will struggle with modernity. The reason these people are trapped in the Neolithic age is they lack the cognitive ability to go much further. California looks like Mexico because it is now full of Mexicans.
Another reason, and most likely the reason for the mass invasion from over the horizon, is white people are getting dumber. A quick look at what average students did in school a century ago makes that clear. Most college freshman would flunk this eighth grade exam or be so offended by it they would need counseling. Ed Dutton has written a book on this issue and continues to do videos explaining the topic. The short version is that white people have been in decline for a long time.

A century ago schools were allowed to fail students - it was commonly accepted that not everyone can, or should, finish 12 years of schooling (let alone go to college).

[Townhall] The battle over this bullSchiff presidential election has had the fringe benefit of exposing exactly what the scams, grifts, and cons the Dems will use to try to steal the January 5, 2021 Georgia Senate run-off elections. It is possible the current recount will give the Pubs 50%, but I don't suggest we bet on that.
What the GOP needs to do is to keep up the fight to count every legal vote in the presidential race while ensuring that the Dems can’t pull off the same scam again in two months. Yeah, we need to do two things at once. Yes, it will be hard. So what?
Before the last election, the Democrats were practically getting their mail at courthouses they were suing so often to loosen safeguards in order to make it easier to cheat. We need to do that. As we saw in Nevada (where I was) and elsewhere, the best time to get judges to rule to make the election fair is before the election. Afterwards, judges are understandably reluctant to alter or change procedures. But we have two months, folks.
Two months. That’s forever.
I used to tell my troops (and my associates in law practice) that I can get them anything they need to do their job except one thing. I can get money, ammo, experts, air support, whatever. But neither in war nor litigation can I get them more time.
This two-month delay is a gift, as is the Georgia team’s experience with how the Democrat strongholds cheated. Let’s unwrap it.
So, what can you do? If you're a lawyer, you go down there and do lawyer stuff. You might see me there. If you are a regular citizen, you can volunteer to help turn out voters before and then to stand in the counting rooms at 3 a.m. watching. If you are out of state, you can call voters, or you can give money.
You need to do something. Whether the President wins or loses his fight, we still need the Senate. And after seeing the Democrat's game plan put into action in real time right in front of us, we have no excuse not to beat them at their own game.

[WND] In the wake of Joe Biden's alleged victory in the 2020 election, the pundit class has already produced scores of articles headlined something along the lines of "How Joe Biden Won the Election."
What the authors of these articles have in common is that none of them has a clue or, if they do, they know better than to say what they know out loud. Regardless of the final outcome, Biden will have gotten 10 million more popular votes than Hillary did in 2016 or Obama did in 2012.
Biden needed every one of those votes, real or manufactured, because President Trump got nearly 9 million more votes than he did in 2016, and Trump's increase was grown organically.
In 2016, many people voted for Trump to keep Hillary out of the White House. After four years of observing his performance, they voted for Trump because he was Trump. Yet in a match-up between the Republicans' best candidate since Reagan and the Democrats' worst candidate since forever, Biden got more popular votes and the illusion, at least, of more electoral votes.
Yes, the COVID-driven mechanics swelled the Democrats' wholesale vote gathering, but what drove the Biden vote were two phenomena — hatred and ignorance. Nothing else explains how a senile old pedophile who could not attract a thousand people to a rally could inspire 76 million people to vote for him.

Yes, the COVID-driven mechanics swelled the Democrats' wholesale vote gathering, but what drove the Biden vote were two phenomena – hatred and ignorance.
"Hatred and Ignorance," both in abundant supply among democrats as well as many alleged republicans.
Kansas had a vacant Senate seat, Roberts. Last governor cycle a nobody out of state democrat was elected on the platform she is gay.
The democrat, Bollier, had huge machine support and was expected to win, maybe even 55-45%. The republican, Marshall, was disorganized and slow, and coming off upsetting a lot of rural people by knocking out rep. Huelskamp.
What happened is Marshall won I think 60-40% because Kansas Republicans showed up to vote and voted straight ticket.
I'm not saying Kansas is anywhere else, but why would a passionate voter, for either candidate, take the time and effort to vote, but not take the extra 30 seconds to vote party line?
[PJ] On Wednesday, a coronavirus advisor to Joe Biden suggested that America should enter a stringent lockdown for 4 to 6 weeks in order to restrain the spread of COVID-19. He described the current state of the country as "COVID hell" and suggested that more federal spending would make another round of lockdowns economically feasible.
"We have a big pool of money out there that we could borrow. We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies, for cities, states, county governments," Michael Osterholm, director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and a member of Biden’s 12-member COVID-19 advisory board, told Yahoo Finance.
"If we did that, then we could lock down for 4 to 6 weeks, and if we did that, we could drive the numbers down, like they’ve done in Asia, like they did in New Zealand and Australia."
He then suggested that this would put America in a strong position before a vaccine becomes available "in the first and second quarter of next year, and bringing back the economy way before that."
Osterholm wasn’t referring to the supposedly weak and permissive lockdowns from earlier this year. No, he encouraged far more stringent restrictions. He referenced a New York Times op-ed he co-wrote with Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari back in August.
By lockdown, "we mean people must stay at home and leave only for essential reasons: food shopping and visits to doctors and pharmacies while wearing masks and washing hands frequently. According to the Economic Policy Institute, 39 percent of workers in the United States are in essential categories. The problem with the March-to-May lockdown was that it was not uniformly stringent across the country. For example, Minnesota deemed 78 percent of its workers essential. To be effective, the lockdown has to be as comprehensive and strict as possible."
While Osterholm and Kashkari warned that "there won’t be a robust economic recovery until we get control of this virus," many economic indicators have shot up recently, even as COVID-19 cases grow. In October, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.9 percent and GDP grew by a whopping 33 percent in the third quarter of the year.
[Townhall] Well, one thing is clear. You’re not going to muzzle Newt Gingrich in how he feels about the 2020 election. He broke out the flamethrower during his media hit last Sunday. And the former Speaker of the House was also able to comment about something that got him muzzled by Fox News hosts back in September when he mentioned George Soros heavily funding Democrats in local races, specifically district attorney races. That’s also a fact; Fox News reported on it.
Gingrich did not hold back at all, stating that this was a corrupt race, adding that Democrats stole five of six states. The legal fight should carry on, and rightfully so. We have allegations of voter fraud that are serious. We have dead people showing up. We have a United States Postal Worker who overheard a scheme to illegally backdate ballots. And no, he did not recant. That’s fake news. There are reports about scores of ballots in Georgia that have been flagged over change of address issues. There’s a lot of funny business going on which is why the Department of Justice is throwing its weight concerning looking into these allegations. That’s not to say this will flip some states, but it could toss some fraudulent ballots, chip away at Biden’s lead, and make 2020 a whole new ballgame.
We’re still in Hail Mary territory. I mean, fourth and forever at our own 10-yard line, but there’s a chance. All we need is around 50,000 Biden ballots to be invalidated in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin for this to become very interesting. It would be a 269-269 Electoral College tie between Trump and Biden, which would lead to a contingent election in the House of Representatives. Votes are cast by state delegation in the House; the GOP leads 26-23 in that regard.
But what about the claims that of this election being stolen, which host Jedidiah Bila pressed Gingrich on to clarify. The former House Speaker had the perfect response, but first, read the core of his remarks on the 2020 race. He led into his commentary by first offering his take on Joe Biden’s call for unity (via Real Clear Politics):
[NOQReport Via CFP] The devil may be in the details, but the angels are in the data. That’s what we’re learning very quickly as we examine the work of a dedicated Trump-supporter who appears to have uncovered all of the proof necessary to dispel this myth that Joe Biden won the presidential election.
A post on TheDonald.win by user TrumanBlack has sparked a little attention, though not nearly enough. It needs a lot more because within the data sorted and examined is the smoking gun the Trump campaign can use to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the election was hacked. Massive amounts of votes were changed from President Trump to Biden. Other votes were removed altogether without reason. This "cyber coup" is much bigger than most of us realized. While we’ve been focused, and rightly so, on analog voter fraud, there is technological fraud on a gargantuan scale that happened. More importantly, it has been proven. Read the whole thing as they say in the Bigs

Why Republican supporters are so low quality like Democrats are?
Since when this is evidence? If you want to prove something that serious you don't make a lousy post like that and even implying that all states were on it.

I take it that English is not the primary language of the 2 previous posters. Either that or the Bidenistas are mimicking his garbled grammar and dementia
[BLOGS.TIMESOFISRAEL] Conventional lessons for unconventional foes: Israeli weapons have been thrust into the spotlight since hostilities began between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the latter an ally of Israel. The importance of Israeli weapons in the conflict is clear. The benefits to Israel? Less so.While the mostly vague security relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan has existed since the late ’90s, recent years have illuminated their cooperation. Arms sales have increased, now including advanced drones and missile defense systems, making up at least 60% of Azerbaijan’s arms procurement.
Israel has faced great criticism for supplying arms to Azerbaijan, both internally by the Armenian-Israeli community and from Armenia itself, which has recalled its ambassador to Israel as a result of Israeli military aid to Azerbaijan.
During the last month, footage was constantly distributed via Twitter by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense. Videos of Arclight airstrike

Another poor article.
Since when lobbing rockets is not conventional?
Besides who wrote this seems to be overly linked to concepts he thinks are binary and univocal.
They aren't.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
