It’s not a shock that Postmodernism has taken hold of subjects such as Literature or Social Anthropology. The more subjective the subject is, the easier it is for ideology to infiltrate it. But surely quantitative science—like genetics and physics—will survive as a fortress of logic? Wrong. An article this week in The New York Times interviewed “woke” geneticists, whose findings manifestly show that race and psychological racial differences are biological, revealing them clutching at the most desperate reasons why their research doesn’t prove what it clearly does.  [Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed), By Amy Harmon,  The New York Times, October 17, 2018] Hard science has fallen to the latter-day Communists.

If someone excels in math, they excel in logical reasoning so, in general, you can expect them to possess an almost robotic ability to see through the emotion and dogma that props up Postmodernism. This may well be one of the reasons why SJWs had to make an example of CERN physicist Professor Alessandro Strumia earlier this month.

Next Tuesday night, October 23, VDARE.com’s syndicated columnist Ann Coulter is signing copies of her best-seller Resistance Is Futile at in support of CA-8 immigration patriot hopeful Tim Donnelly [Republican congressional candidate Tim Donnelly to host reception, book signing with Ann Coulter in Victorville, by Sandra Emerson, The Sun, October 17, 2018]. Bur inexplicably, President Trump is on the wrong side of this race—evidence that his unquestionable transformation of the GOP into a National Conservative party still has a long way to go, not least among his own advisors.

VDARE.com readers will remember Donnelly as the hero who challenged the GOP Establishment in the 2014 California gubernatorial race. A state assemblyman and co-founder of the California Minutemen, he was the one candidate in the race to make a sensible stand on immigration (not quite as much as VDARE.com wanted, but hey…). Needless to say, the GOP Establishment and the Main Stream Media both viciously attacked Donnelly for this stand and his past “offensive” comments on the issue, yet, in a Trumpian move, he refused to apologize or back down.

Speaking as Elizabeth Warren’s fellow Oklahoman—she was born in Oklahoma City in 1949—I know the type. Oklahoma (from the Choctaw for Red People), has plenty of white people who claim to be Indians and go on and on about it. Some of them might have a small amount of Indian ancestry, but it certainly doesn’t affect their lifestyle, which is pretty much like all the other people in their social class. Add this Oklahoma Indian-wannabe mentality to dogmatic Leftism and you’ve got Senator Warren—F- immigration grade from NumbersUSA, like every last one of her colleagues in the appalling Massachusetts congressional delegation.

Notoriously, the much-awaited results of Senator Elizabeth Warren’s DNA tests suggested the whopping total of her American Indian ancestry is some quantity between 1/64 and 1/1,024—a minuscule amount.

Maybe, as she claims, she never benefitted professionally from her “Indian identity” (hard to prove or disprove) but she has definitely used it to raise her profile. After all, you don’t hear her going on about her 99% white heritage, which seems to be mostly English.

But then, English ancestry is the least “exotic” ancestry you can have in the United States, which is why it’s grossly under-reported and under-estimated.

Another Oklahoma voice spoke out in criticism of supposed Cherokee Senator Warren: Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr. (photo at right, looks like he probably has more than 1/1024^th American Indian DNA ):

A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person’s ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.

Cherokee Nation responds to Senator Warren’s DNA test, Cherokee Nation, October 15, 2018

Strong stuff. And not exactly the response Senator Warren was looking for when she was touting her Cherokee heritage.

Our mainstream media remain consumed with the grisly killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and how President Donald Trump will deal with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Understandably so, for this is the most riveting murder story since O.J. Simpson and has strategic implications across the Middle East.

Yet far more critical to the future of our civilization is the ongoing invasion of the West from the Third World.

Consider the impact of the decision by Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2015 to throw open Germany's doors to 1 million refugees from Syria's civil war.

Last weekend, in a crushing blow to Merkel, the Christian Social Union, the Bavarian sister party of her CDU, won its smallest share of the vote in half a century, 37 percent. Her coalition party, the SPD, saw its share of the Bavarian vote fall to a historic low of less than 10 percent.

The right-wing Alternative for Deutchland saw its support rise to 10 percent and has become a force in German politics. Some conservatives are urging the CDU to adopt the AfD hardline on illegal immigration.
