(Bernier is the founder and current leader of the People's Party of Canada, and Canada is scheduled to go to the polls on October 21, 2019.)

Iowa Rep. Steve King (NumbersUSA career grade A+) is a lonely man in DC. Banished by the Republican Party and anathema to Conservative Inc., King is almost a party of one in Congress. He still has friends in the House Freedom Caucus, but the GOP leadership wishes he were gone. As of Sunday night, the betting site Predictit was offering odds of 6 to 4 that King will not be re-elected. Yet the smart money is taking the bet.

King’s ostracism is not due to any personal scandal or lack of commitment to conservative principles (including fierce support of Israel, which curiously does not seem to have protected him at all). It’s all due to his Politically Incorrect comments on immigration and race. VDARE.com, which does not believe in abandoning the wounded, has had to defend King repeatedly—see here, here, here, here, here, and here.

The good news: King’s constituents and local party still strongly support him. And King victory in 2020 would be a tremendous triumph for immigration patriots and a defeat for the cuckservative GOP Establishment, to say nothing of its Main Stream Media handlers. Donald Trump has gone some way to remaking the GOP as a National Conservative party, but the treatment of King and fellow immigration patriots show there is still room for improvement.

Above, VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow holds up red-headed daughter Victoria Beauregard, representing the future of the R1b gene.

As part of Israeli foundation executive Yoram Hazony’s attempt to steer America’s burgeoning nationalism into politically acceptable (to him) channels, he felt obliged to argue that Judaism in general and Israel in particular are proposition entities i.e. have no ethnic dimension. Of course this is absurd, as I was easily able to demonstrate. But when VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow similarly refuted Hazony, he also noted that an ethnic dimension “is not that unusual in long-established nation-states. Some 60% of English men, and 80% of Irish men, carry the R1b haplogroup, as I do myself).” So what about this R1b haplogroup?

Simply put, it is the gene that pretty much defines being Western European. As such, it is the gene of modern civilization.

And, curiously, it’s often also the gene for red hair.

R1b is the Y chromosome haplogroup of between 60 and 100% of the Irish, Welsh, and southern English, as well as in much of France and Spain. For the rest of Western Europe, it’s the paternal line of between 30% and 60% of the population. (And about half of American men are R1-b [Race, Ancestry, and Genetic Composition of the U.S., by Richard Morrill, NewGeography.com, September 23, 2015].

According to genetic analyses of archaeological finds, R1b first made an appearance in Europe—specifically Veneto in Italy—about 14,000 years ago [The genetic history of Ice Age Europe, Q. Fu et al., Nature, 2016] with the original point of origin believed to be somewhere in Western Asia [A major Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b Holocene effect in Central and Western Europe, by N. Myres et al., European Journal of Human Genetics, 2010].

The big news this week was Brexit—one manifestation of a trend now visible all over the Western world including the U.S.: cosmopolitans vs. communitarians.

The story so far:

Three years and two months ago the British people voted in a referendum to leave the European Union, the EU. The vote was 52 percent Leave to 48 percent Remain. The government and the media, however, had been propagandizing and scaremongering for all they were worth in favor of Remain, so the vote probably underestimated support for Leave. The Prime Minister himself, David Cameron, was a strong Remainer.

Cameron did the decent thing and resigned. His party, the Tories, got a new leader, and Britain a new Prime Minister, Theresa May. Strange to say, Mrs. May was also a Remainer. She swore, however, that she would faithfully execute the people's will.

Mrs. May then dickered ineffectually with the EU bureaucracy for two years, trying to get a favorable withdrawal deal. You could see her heart wasn't in it, though, and when a deal was finally reached last November, it was awful—basically a document of surrender to the EU suits.

The House of Commons had to vote to ratify the agreement. Instead of ratifying, they voted it down—three times! That was in spite of Mrs. May's party—still the Tories—controlling the House.

This July Mrs. May also did the decent thing and resigned. The Tory Party and the British government got a new leader, Boris Johnson. He promised Britain would leave the EU on October 31st, come hell or high water, deal or no deal, and packed his cabinet with people who agreed with him.

His Members of Parliament were still split, though. A lot of them were Remainers of various strengths, a British equivalent of Never Trumpers. A big bloc assumed a sort of Saint Augustine position: "Yes, of course we want to carry out the will of the people … but not yet. Let's go back to the EU, get an extended deadline, see if we can get a deal …"

Britain's Deep State was of course solidly Remain.

To further complicate matters a new single-issue party, the Brexit Party, has come up on Johnson' flank and is polling well.

The Alabama U.S. Senate seat of immigration patriot hero Jeff Sessions, who was tragically caught in the crossfire of the Russian Collusion Hoax, is up in 2020. It’s currently held by Democrat Doug Jones only because the cowardly GOP Establishment ran away, as usual, when the Democrat/ MSM complex had a hysterical tantrum about GOP primary victor Judge Roy Moore. But, incredibly, the same GOP Establishment forces are now plotting to impose an immigration wimp candidate: Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville.

Tuberville is currently the frontrunner in the November 3 primary, polling at 29 percent [Survey of Likely 2020 GOP Primary Voters Alabama Statewide, Cygn.al, June 26, 2019]. It’s easy to see why: Tuberville was a Division 1 college football head coach at Auburn University from 1999 to 2008—and he says he supports President Donald Trump. (Like CPAC’s Matt Schlapp?)

At first, Tuberville seemed promising on immigration. He said he was in favor of a border wall and spoke about the threat of Islamic terrorism coming from the southern border [Tuberville doubles down on Islamic terror threat crossing southern border: ‘An outsider does not have to be politically correct, and I’m not going to be’, by Jeff Poor, Yellowhammer News, June, 2019]. But more recently he has shown he is little better than the Republican Establishment on the issue.

One of Tuberville’s first hires, which "legitimized" him as a candidate in GOP Establishment eyes, was Sean Spicer, the former RNC employee who was notoriously unhappy on CNN about candidate Donald Trump's powerful immigration rhetoric [RNC Official Awkwardly Refuses To Denounce Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Screed, by Josh Israel, ThinkProgress, June 16, 2015]. Nevertheless, in an all-too-familiar pattern, Spicer subsequently became Trump’s press secretary.

Thursday, Sept. 14, looks to be a fateful day in the half-century-long political career of Joe Biden.

That night, a three-hour debate will be held, a marathon in politics.

Biden will be on stage, taking incoming missiles for 180 minutes from nine rivals, each of whom is hungry for the Democratic nomination and has a huge investment in seeing him stumble and fall.
