The lives of President Barack Obama and Vice-Presidential nominee Kamala Harris have striking similarities. Both came from relatively privileged backgrounds. Both fit the needs of the Democratic Party’s new coalition. Both are “black” but via foreign parents:  neither share the experience of African-Americans descended from slaves. And both support and symbolize “The Great Awokening,” the American Left’s dramatic recent shift from liberal to Cultural Marxist values, which apparently makes affluent whites feel good about themselves but is reaping a terrible toll on the very people (poor blacks in inner cities) that the movement claims to be defending.

On Monday, Steve Sailer joined me for a discussion of his 2016 book America’s Half-Blood Prince: Barack Obama’s ‘Story of Race and Inheritance', which is the latest selection in the VDARE Book Club. What struck me most throughout our discussion is the feeling that we have been through this before. After all, it was the urban riots and anti-police rhetoric of Obama’s second term that helped Donald Trump win the White House. As Steve said yesterday, after the 2016 Dallas Black Lives Matter shooting that took the lives of five police officers and is accordingly now memory-holed, he thought to himself: “So Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the United States.” Will President Trump be re-elected by a country fed up with riots and violence?

Of course, there are some differences this time around. Monday night’s looting and attacks on police in Philadelphia barely made the Main Stream Media. Digital deplatforming and anarcho-tyranny have made it far more difficult for any opposition to mobilize against the neo-Jacobins in the streets.

President Donald Trump was elected because his opponents underestimated both him and the power of his nationalist message. But rather than rethinking their campaign of hatred against the Historic American Nation, the lesson that MSM journalists and the Ruling Class as a whole took from 2016 was that repression needs to be intensified.

Perhaps they are right that this was the best tactic. Either way, Kamala Harris would certainly be willing to put the power of the state behind the oligarchs who are already doing their best to silence us.

Ready or not, here they come. The ground troops of the anti-Donald Trump resistance aren't just biding their time until Election Day for Hidin' Joe Biden. Hell no. They're making their direct action checklists and checking them twice. They're training for instigating.

No matter the outcome at the ballot box, the left-wing mob is prepared to disrupt and destroy nationwide in the name of preserving "democracy."

Four weeks ago, I exposed the pot-bangers and lawn-crashers of the Sunrise Movement. That's the constantly morphing, full-time front group for the Sierra Club that nurtures rent-a-rioters to agitate for everything from the "Green New Deal," to Black Lives Matter and the "defund the police" movement, to the attacks at private homes of Senate Republicans—who just delivered the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Another key social justice player, ShutDown D.C., is teaming with Sunrise Movement guerilla warriors to mobilize students, community organizers and even federal employees to take to the streets on Nov. 3.

I wrote recently that, since we filed our libel suit against the New York Times in January, “the world has gone mad—and the New York Times even madder. This, in my humble opinion, has made Brimelow vs. New York Times even more important.” (We expect a ruling in the next 3-4 months)

Pretty much the same can be said about what’s happened since we filed VDARE Foundation vs. City Of Colorado Springs, John Suthers, also in Federal Court. The case stems from RINO Mayor John Suthers’ 2017 proclamation that he would not extend city services a.k.a. police protection to VDARE.com’s proposed conference at the Cheyenne Mountain Lodge. Not surprisingly, Cheyenne Mountain Lodge cancelled shortly afterwards. But there is very extensive federal case law establishing the principle that local governments must protect the First Amendment rights of even unpopular groups, regardless of cost. (Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance recently prevailed in court against a similar attempt to suppress its annual conference in Tennessee).   So we sued. My last update was here. The great Michelle Malkin, herself a resident of Colorado Springs, summarized this First Amendment atrocity here.

In the interim, Colorado too has gone mad. In Denver this summer, police obeyed an order to stand down and allowed Antifa to attack Michelle Malkin’s pro-police rally (shades of Charlottesville 2017). Subsequently, and not coincidentally, yet another Trump supporter was actually murdered at a patriot demonstration in what Malkin accurately describes as a Media-Political Assassination.

Earlier, by Patrick J. Buchanan: Will 'Ukraine-Gate' Imperil Biden's Bid? and by Ann Coulter: The Transcript We Really Want To See

If Joe Biden loses on Nov. 3, public interest in whether his son Hunter exploited the family name to rake in millions of dollars from foreign donors will likely fade away.

It will not matter, and no one will care.

But if Joe Biden wins the presidency, a prediction: By the Ides of March 2021, there will be an independent counsel or special prosecutor named to investigate the Biden family fortunes and how they were amassed.

Why is such an investigation a near certainty in a Biden era?

First, there is a 50-year tradition in America of an antagonistic media and political enemies pulling down presidents they oppose.

Covid-19 played a major role in last Thursday’s Presidential debate and is being again hyped by the Dem/MSM complex, although the actual U.S. death rate is still growing very slowly. Meanwhile, a startling new study casts further light on the race differences in Covid-19 incidence. Discussion of these race differences were repressed by our Race-Denying Ruling Class until it became clear that some minorities were disproportionately impacted, at which point it was proclaimed to be the fault of whites. But it remained possible that these differences were the result of deep-seated cultural practices. Now it increasingly appears they are at least in part genetic. Which means the one-size-fits-all public policy response was wrong.

England has a large “South Asian” population—recent ancestors from India, Pakistan, and Bangladeshi—about 8% of the population on the 2011 census of England and now likely considerably higher. These people are 20% more likely than whites to die of Covid-19 and 12 years younger than whites when admitted to hospital with it [South Asian people in UK 20 per cent more likely to die of coronavirus, study finds, by Sarah Knapton, Telegraph, June 19, 2020].

This disparity is definitely not due to poverty. South Asian doctors and nurses working for Britain’s National Health Service are also far more likely to die of Covid-19 than are white medical workers: they are 21% of NHS workers but 63% of COVID-19 deaths among NHS workers.

Intriguingly, British citizens of Bangladeshi extraction have been particularly hard hit. Age-adjusted, they are 4 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than whites, whereas for Indians the risk is merely 1.6 times more.
