Earlier by Patrick J. Buchanan: Last Best Chance to Capture Supreme Court

"As everyone knows, I made it clear that my first choice for the Supreme Court will make history as the first African American woman justice."

So Joe Biden promised. Since the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, however, Biden has refused to produce a list of Black female judges and scholars whom he would consider for the now-vacant seat.

What is his problem?

Donald Trump had no such reluctance. In 2016, he listed a slew of candidates from among whom he promised to pick his justices. True to his word, Trump elevated federal appellate court judges Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Since the Kavanaugh confirmation, Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been openly discussed as a potential Trump choice to succeed liberal icon Ginsburg. Why is Biden so reluctant to reveal some highly qualified Black female judges? His refusal suggests that the kind of high court judges that America wants is not the liberals' issue. It is Trump's issue.

The president will announce his choice Saturday, after the mourning period for Ginsburg is over. Mitch McConnell's Senate is expected to confirm the new justice in late October.

With the court's ideological balance at stake, the battle from now to Nov. 3 is thus for all the marbles: control of the House, the Senate, the presidency and the U.S. Supreme Court.

During a BLM “peaceful protest” in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 30 (over George Floyd’s dying of a heart attack while in police custody in Minneapolis), James Scurlock was peacefully protesting by breaking into an architecture firm—hoisting an office chair and hurling it into two computer monitors, then ripping a phone from a desk and throwing it against the wall, as his friend shattered another monitor—all of which was captured on video.

Nearby, Jake Gardner, an Iraq War veteran and Trump supporter, was keeping watch over the two bars he owned, The Hive and The Gatsby, aided by his 68-year-old father and a security guard. The peaceful protesters soon made their way to Jake’s bar, where they hurled a street sign through The Hive’s plate-glass window. He and his father rushed outside to prevent the peaceful protesters from storming his bar.

Scurlock’s friend, catching his wind after smashing computer monitors, knocked Gardner’s father to the ground. (It’s on tape.) Or as CNN’s Madeline Holcombe put it: “An unidentified man can be seen pushing Gardner’s father.” Gardner rushed to help his father, then backed away toward the bar, lifting his shirt to show the protesters he was armed, and telling them to move along. Again, it’s all on tape. Murmurings can be heard from the crowd: “That (expletive) got a gun” and “It’s not worth it (expletive) you stu–,”

At that point, peaceful protester Alayna Melendez leapt on Gardner from behind (not subscribers to the Marquess of Queensberry rules, these peaceful protesters), knocking him down and into the street, whereupon yet another peaceful protester jumped on top of Gardner, who fired two warning shots in the air, scattering his first two assailants. Again: all on tape.

Three seconds later, as Gardner was trying to get up, Scurlock jumped on him from behind and put him in a chokehold—which I believe is considered definitive proof of intentional murder when performed by a police officer. In videos, Gardner can be heard yelling, “Get off me! Get off me!”

With his right arm pinned, and Scurlock choking him, Gardner moved the gun to his left hand and shot over his shoulder, hitting Scurlock in the collarbone, killing him.

The Main Stream Media has finally discovered that President Donald J. Trump's real weakness is with whites [‘It’s a big, big swing’: Trump loses ground with white voters, By David Siders, Politico, September 21, 2020]. Of course at VDARE.com we’ve been calling attention to this for months, and blaming Jared Kushner’s strategy of pandering to minorities. What’s really disturbing: even Rasmussen Reports, which recently showed Trump with his first-ever lead over Joe Biden (47%-46%) and therefore got no MSM publicity, shows this weakness with whites. The good news: Trump has upside potential. The bad news: it’s awfully late.

Donald Trump won in 2016 because he adopted (blundered into?) what VDARE.com calls the Sailer Strategy and focused on whites, especially in the Rust Belt, rather than Karl Rove-type pandering to minorities.

It’s easy to miss how extraordinary Trump’s triumph was among whites in 2016. He got about 58% of the white vote, which is roughly about what Romney got. But there’s a paradox that masks Trump’s true impact.

You have to consider the effect of Third Parties. Quite often you hear people say that Reagan got 59% of the white vote in 1980 and he won in a landslide and Romney got 59% of the white vote and was defeated, and that this is a measure to the extent to which the country has changed.

Well, that’s not exactly true—because there was a Third Party candidate in 1980, John Anderson, who got 6.6% of the vote, essentially all of it white. So the Democrats were more damaged by John Anderson and by Reagan in terms of the white vote.

Previously: Candidate Who Favors Immigration Moratorium Wins GOP Senate Primary In Delaware

Immigration patriots saw a major victory last week: a committed America First candidate won the GOP Senate nomination in Delaware. Lauren Witzke puts immigration at the center of her agenda and champions an immigration moratorium. If she wins, Witzke would be, far and away, the best senator on immigration. It’s no surprise she is facing a full-frontal assault from the Main Stream Media and is being ignored by the GOP Establishment, which has made it clear that (despite Trump) it doesn’t want immigration patriots in the Senate (or House). Witzke is running in a once-contested state that, thanks to GOP Establishment uselessness, is now deep Blue. She faces many challenges ahead, but immigration patriots will be right there with her. Her emergence is a testament to the potency of National Populism.

Witzke’s campaign website lists immigration at the top of its Issues page. She separates herself from generic Republicans by addressing the problems with legal and illegal immigration. The Issues page directly attacks “GOP Establishment elites” for doing nothing on immigration, allowing in “ONE MILLION legal immigrants every year, on top of at least ONE MILLION illegal aliens.” She wants an immigration system that does not “hurt the job prospects of ordinary Americans, or erase American culture.”

Witzke’s plan for immigration is solid:

She will fight for an immigration moratorium, along with a fully funded and erected border wall, an end to chain migration and birthright citizenship, and to stop massive visa abuses.

Her Issues page also attacks the “cheap labor lobby” that undermines American workers and goes into great detail about the widespread abuse of our visa system:

Democrats used to care about American workers. Now they care about abstract ideas like ‘social justice’ perpetuated by urban elites, and have left the majority of American workers behind.

Witzke vows to address demographics through “legislation to further incentivize marriage and child-bearing, thus increasing American birthrates and rebuilding our culture to center it around the American Family.”

She also promises to defend the Second Amendment and vehemently opposes unconstitutional “Red Flag” laws.

Earlier: Democrat-Permitted Mobs As Modern-Day Turbas: Agents Of A Repressive Anarcho-Tyranny

Wake up. The "community organizers" of the left are in full wildebeest mode. Now is not the time for bending down, rolling over or playing nice. From now until Election Day (and likely until the end of the year), you can expect screaming banshees carrying identical, preprinted signs to turn up in the middle of the night at the private homes of elected politicians, Donald Trump campaign and administration officials, law enforcement officers, judges and conservative leaders.

This is not conjecture. A nationwide agitation force milked the dead body of George Floyd to create the current anarchotyranny. Now, in keeping with her dying wish, the mob will use the fresh corpse of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to try to bully Republicans into submission over President Donald Trump's rightful Supreme Court nomination. The ultimate goal: obstruction and delegitimization of Trump's reelection.

On cue, a bunch of demonstrators all in matching yellow-and-black T-shirts from the Sunrise Movement turned out in front of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's house in Washington, D.C., this weekend, banging pots, pans and buckets. The disrupters also blasted airhorns, pointed strobe lights at the windows and crashed cymbals to punctuate their collective fit over Ginsburg's passing. Not a single one was arrested for disturbing the peace.
