Earlier: Agents Confront Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz: We Signed Up To "Defend The Constitution," Not Allow "Illegal Aliens To Be Dropped Off In Communities"

A few days ago, I was talking to some Border Patrol agents still on the job. They were telling me that details down to the Del Rio sector are slowing down. Agents are still being sent there, but not in the quantity that they were. However, although the agents are not physically being sent to the southern border, they are still doing remote or virtual processing because of the Biden Rush. That means they sit in the office and process paperwork for illegal aliens to be allowed into the country. They are not going out into the field to make arrests, and, even if they did, ICE isn't deporting anybody, so what good would it do? The agents said they could barely watch the news or had to change the channel when reports on the southern border came up. Yes, even when those reports were trying to show the disaster as realistically as possible.

One of the agents told me that one of the better guys at doing virtual processing could knock out 50 files in a shift. That's incredible. For some perspective, when we (the Border Patrol) used to do A-Files (an A-File is the abbreviation for an Alien File), it could take two to three hours to knock out one file on one alien.

A-Files tended to be tedious affairs that resulted in lots of push back between supervisor and the processing agent.

• Supervisor: "You left out the most important thing in your narrative, the date and time it happened."
  
  Agent: "Yes, but the date and time are noted in the drop down boxes on the form."
  
  Supervisor: "That doesn't matter. The AUSA [Assistant US Attorney] doesn't want to have to search around for it."
• Supervisor: "The charges on the I-213 don't match the narrative."
  
  Agent: "That's because we searched for the exact charges and they weren't in the list of things again in the drop down boxes. It's the closest we could find."
  
  Supervisor: "Keep searching, it's in there somewhere."
• Supervisor: "I'm leaving for the day, so, I won't be signing off on the file. Change the forms over to the new supervisor who's coming on duty."
  
  Agent: "Does that mean I have to have the illegal re-sign all the paperwork I already got done."
  
  Supervisor: "Yeah, go wake the alien back up."

Very few agents enjoyed processing. Most of us signed up for exciting careers (theoretically!) running

Earlier: Ritualistic Humiliation: Black-Run City Of Richmond, Virginia Digs Up Remains Of Confederate General A.P. Hill After Tearing Down His Statue

100 years after the Civil War, Congress called them “great soldiers and great Americans.”

This video is available on BitChute, Rumble, and Odysee.

For 130 years, this monument stood in Richmond, Virginia.

This is Confederate General Ambrose Powell Hill, one of Stonewall Jackson’s ablest divisional commanders. The general was buried beneath the monument.

Last December, as part of its campaign to wipe out every trace of the Confederacy, the Richmond city government tore down the monument, dug up the general, and expelled him from the Capital of the Confederacy.

Hill’s outraged descendants had no choice but to rebury their ancestor, which they did last weekend, in Culpeper, Virginia.

The family worried that the bigots who screamed obscenities as the general came down might contaminate the reburial, so they publicized it only by word of mouth. I was worried attendance would be sparse, but there must have been at least 400 people. This is a very partial view.

One of the most controversial issues on the American Right is the so-called “JQ”—the “Jewish Question.” I often receive passionate emails demanding that I discuss the “JQ” or telling me that I am a coward who is too frightened to do so. The Jews “run America,” argue these people, because Jews are extremely nepotistic. That is the only reason. Jewish influence—their over-representation in elite positions—has nothing to do with the evidence, set out, for example, in British psychologist Richard Lynn’s book The Chosen People: A Study of Jewish Intelligence and Achievement , that the average Jewish IQ in the US is 12 points higher than average white IQ. Jewish average IQ, it is alleged, is actually no different from that of whites. This view recently resurfaced in a popular YouTube video by “Leather Apron Club” entitled “High Jewish IQ Debunked.” This was itself a follow-up to “Nobody knows that HALF of Joe Rogan’s Guests have THIS in common,” which claimed that 42% of Joe Rogan guests are Jewish even though Jews compose only 2% of the US population. But the videos prove no such thing about Jewish IQ.

Another YouTuber—Ubersoy—has shown this in his lengthy response video “Leather Apron Club Debunked | High Jewish IQ Vindicated.”

Firstly, Ubersoy highlights Leather Apron Club’s key argument—that he has found six studies, the higher average Jewish IQ claim relies on these studies, and they don’t actually show that Jews have high IQ or they have various issues which make them unreliable. Ubersoy replies that these are not the only studies that show that Jews have high IQ. Leather Apron Club ignored numerous other studies, some with enormous and highly representative samples, such as the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, which show that US Jews have an IQ of 112.

Secondly, Ubersoy notes that no study will be perfect, but if you have many studies pointing

I’ve long been fascinated by the “controversial” British-Canadian psychologist J. Philippe Rushton (1943-2012), to the extent that I wrote the only book-length (by no means uncritical) biography of him:  J. Philippe Rushton: A Life History Perspective. It’s equally fascinating to see a new study which, in essence, proves him correct—but whose authors cannot possibly bring themselves to publicly admit this, because Rushton is just too “controversial.”

Just such a study was recently published in the occasionally daring scholarly journal Evolutionary Psychological Science. Entitled “Exploring the Influence of Race in Mate Copying Using Former Partner Evaluations,” the study, by Australian evolutionary psychologists Joseph Zhang and Ryan Anderson, focuses on the intriguing issue of “mate copying”—the tendency, especially strong in females, to choose a mate who has already proven popular with the opposite sex. But as you read it, you find that Rushton’s ghost looms large over it.

“Mate Copying” is engaged in to a greater extent by females than males, because females sexually select, to a greater extent than males, for socioeconomic status and willingness to commit to offspring among other more “psychological” traits. Males have less to lose from a relationship that goes wrong—they won’t be left with the baby—so they tend to focus more on cues of health and youth.

“Dating,” according to the authors, is the means by which females find the most appropriate partner for them. But this is a “costly process”: spending time with relative strangers involves risk and is expensive in terms of time. So females will speed up the process via “mate copying.”

If a male already has a female partner, then this proves

Earlier: In December, Biden Posted The Worst Border Crossing/Invasion Month EVER

President Biden set a new record last month. Thanks to his impeachable refusal to enforce the law, border agents encountered more than 250,000 illegal aliens, the highest monthly total in history. Yet Biden’s flacks claim everything is under control, and even better, that offering parole to the invaders will reduce illegal border crossings (by legalizing them). These smug assertions fail to acknowledge that border crossings for 2023 are expected to exceed 2022’s record. Conservatives say Biden’s parole plan is too generous; the left thinks it’s too restrictive. And now that 20 states have sued to stop it, the plan might fail, and GOP pressure through tough legislation—and one would hope through the threat of impeachment—might finally force the president to enforce immigration laws.

The current border figures are outrageous. As VDARE.com shows in its latest interactive chart, agents have encountered more than 100,000 illegals nearly every month of Biden’s presidency. The 251,000-plus detained in December marked the 10th straight month with more than 200,000. The majority of those caught are released into the country. Fox News reported earlier this month that the Biden Regime released more than 425,000 of 617,250 illegals encountered so far this fiscal year. Under Biden’s watch, more than 4.2 million illegals have been detected at the border. Hundreds of thousands more got away [4.2 Million Migrants Apprehended Along Southwest Border Under Biden Admin, by Bob Price, Breitbart, January 21, 2023].

This picture is not expected to improve any time soon. A new report projects border apprehensions to reach 2.7 million for fiscal 2023, nearly 1 percent of the American population. That would be a 12.5 percent increase over fiscal 2022’s record-breaking 2.4 million. If Title 42 public-health expulsions are stopped this year, we could see an even larger number than that grim projection [Analysis: ‘Mind-Blowing’ Illegal Immigration Under Biden Approaching 1% of Total U.S. Population, by John Binder, Breitbart, January 25, 2023].

But there’s nothing to worry about, Biden’s people say. “Despite their misinformation,
