The guy in the Maserati sedan
Today, up in the toney end of Fort Mudge, I saw a black Maserati sedan, like this one. Beautiful car.

84% of Scott Adams' readers think Clinton bigoted vs whities
From Scott "Dilbert" Adams' blog today...
Yes, I know a Twitter survey with a non-random sample has no scientific validity. And yes, I know my followers are not representative of the public. And yes, I know the survey question leads the witness.
Still, I found this interesting from a persuasion perspective:

Why in hell wouldn't blacks vote for Trump?!
Before I begin, let me express a fervent wish that dark(ish)-complected people would decide once and for all what they want us palefaces to call them. Some of them call each other "nigger", but we can't say that. "Negro" is long gone from our vocabulary. "Darkie" is verboten, as the makers of the eponymous toothpaste discovered years ago.
"African-American" is ridiculous, IMHO. If your ancestors came here two centuries ago, whether you're in the hold of a slave ship or above decks, and you're the sixth generation to be born on this side of the Atlantic, any ties with the Old World have long since been cut. During my time in southern Africa, I've heard visiting "African-Americans" say of the natives, "Man, these dudes ain't nuthin' like us!"
So "blacks" it is, then. OK? That's the term preferred by the late, great Civil War historian Shelby Foote. Not long before his death, Mr Foote was interviewed by Tony Horwitz, for his admirable book Confederates in the Attic. Here's what he had to say about the black underclass.
"Slavery was the first great sin of this nation. The second great sin was emancipation, or rather the way it was done. The government told four million people, 'You are free. Hit the road.' Three-quarters of them couldn't read or write, The iniest fractino of them had any profession that they could enter.
"What has dismayed me so much is the behavior of blacks. They are fulfilling every dire prophecy the Ku Klux Klan made. It's no longer safe to be on the streets in black neighborhoods. They are acting as if the utter lie about blacks being somewhere between ape and man were true."
I have emphasized Mr Foote's assertion that it's no longer safe to be on the streets in black neighborhoods because, twenty years after he said that, we had fresh proof on Friday when Nykea Aldridge, a 32-year-old mother of four, was shot dead while pushing her baby in a stroller near a school in Chicago's South Side.
In broad daylight, two men walked up and fired shots at a third man, hitting Ms Aldridge (the cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade) in the head and arm. Chicago police say she wasn't the intended target. She was just "collateral damage" in the random gun violence which afflicts American inner cities.
Two brothers Darwin Sorrells Jr., 26, and Derren Sorrells, 22, were charged with the murder of Ms Aldridge and attempted murder of the gang-banger who was the actual target.
Darwin and Derren seem to me poster boys for Donald Trump's appeal to "people of colour" [Ed., is that term OK] to vote for him because... wait for it... people of any colour should be able to walk along the streets without fear of being shot!
The US of A has endured eight years of the progressive, politically correct policies of the only President who can legitimately call himself "African-American". Are American blacks better off today than they were 22 years ago, when Shelby Foote made those remarks? As The Donald said, if you're black and you live in some blighted project in Chicago (or Newark or Philthydelphia or wherever), why in hell wouldn't you vote for him?

VIDEO: Alt-Right is all right!
Walt admits to having been a bit lethargic this month. Perhaps it was post-convention letdown. Once The Donald and Hellery got nominated, things kind of cooled down. Mr Trump misspoke himself a couple of times. (Ronald Reagan used to do that too, and look what happened to him!) Crooked Hillary got a bit of a bump in the polls as people averted their eyes from the lies and scandals. And the lamestream media started practising their moves for the dance on Trump's political grave. Walt tuned out because, as former Canuck Prime Minister John Diefenbaker once said, it's a long road that has no ashcans. [What does that even mean?! Ed.]
Then came La Clinton's "speech" in Reno on Thursday, in which (not having any ideas to put forward) she attacked Mr Trump yet again. And -- this is the part that got my attention -- she also demonized the 40% of Americans who support The Donald as being bigoted racists who have been seduced by the Alt-Right movement which, she claimed, had taken over the Republican Party. "Alt-Right?", I said to myself. "Wozzat?" To find out, I visited the Alternative Right blog.
Gotta love that banner illustration! It could only have been better if it had been the Confederate cavalry led by J.E.B. Stuart, but British cavalry will do nicely.
Turns out the Alt-Righters are not a political organization, but a grass-roots movement of people not unlike my goodself, who believe (for instance) that
- immigration should be halted or sharply curtailed
- political correctness has run amok
- feminism, multiculturalism and globalization are destructive
- white identity and white culture are under threat and need to be aggressively defended.
Richard Spencer, the "white nationalist" founder of the National Policy Institute, said that following the Clinton diatribe, "Millions of people are Googling #AltRight and thinking through our ideas for the first time." That's what I did, and I liked what I read. Like this...
Equality is bullshit. Hierarchy is essential. The races are different. The sexes are different. Morality matters and degeneracy is real. All cultures are not equal and we are not obligated to think they are. Man is a fallen creature and there is more to life than hollow materialism. Finally, the white race matters, and civilization is precious. This is the Alt-Right. Here's the video.
An Alt-Righter who tweets as "Identitarian" wrote "What the #AltRight means is that whites no longer are going to cower and will defend our own race. The #AltRight’s message isn’t one of hate, but one of love: Whites learning to love and support our own race." Sounds all right to me!

Puzzle: Guess the real story behind the headline
The online edition of the Groan and Wail -- Canada's self-styled "national newspaper" -- has a story today with the following headline:
So ya got yer Frenchman and yer Brit, and this happened in the land of Oz. Just the age-old enmity between the Froggies and the Limeys, right? Errr, not right. There was more to it than that.
If you haven't already guessed, a quick scan of the text will reveal that the killer was not only French, but a militant Muslim, who shouted... wait for it... "Allahu Akbar!" as he plunged the blade into his victim.
So was this a terrorist act, then? Here's the official statement from Inspector Bruce Knacker. "Initial inquiries indicate that comments which may be construed of being of an extremist nature were made by the alleged offender. This person appears to have acted alone. He is a visitor to Australia and has no known local connections, however investigations are ongoing."
Note the absence from the statement of the words "Muslim", "Islamic", "terrorist" or "jihadi". Walt wonders if the UN Agency for Political Correctness has published a reference book with lists of words and phrases to be used to downplay the inference of Islamic terrorism which most people with 80+ IQs would draw from the murderer's exclamation.
The same stylebook is obviously in use not only by the police but by the lamestream media. Any news of attacks on "infidels" by Islamic extremists is suppressed or downplayed deliberately, for political reasons. Cf. "9 'refugees' rape Austrian woman; news hushed up until after election", WWW 21/8/16. Don't bother trying to add a comment to the G&M story; comments are closed!
Do our political elites, their servants the mass media and their agents of control (read: police) really think that we are being fooled by the whitewashing of stories that portray militant Muslims in a bad light? We are not! At least I'm not. How about you?

Most Canadian photo EVER
Never let it be said that Walt [and Ed.! Ed.] don't pay attention to our readers' requests. [Notice the correct use of the apostrophe. We do have more than one reader. Ed.] Rufus Leeking, of Teaticket MA [You can look it up. Ed.] writes to enquire why we never post any pictures of beavers. Well, Rufus, we're happy to oblige!
This is Corporal Jason Pinder, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In his spare time, Cpl. Pinder volunteers with the Salthaven West Animal Rehabilitation Centre, in Regina SK, who gave out this lovely portrait of the nice Mountie with a rescued beaver kit. How Canadian is that!
