The New Conservatives

Everywhere. The Silent Majority. From thug to CEO, all sorts of people, I was too but I was afraid.

The Conservatives were never afraid. The shield of truth and the lance of perception are all the rhetorical protection required.

Everyone else is just Tulsi –– looking good now; along for the ride. They're gonna bail at the first flat tire they Kant fix with their iPhone.

Nuevo Hotel Californication

....
In many respects, this isn’t news. Since the 1980s, discrimination against white men has been institutionalized in America, with California in the vanguard. But in the 1980s, proportional representation was possible without major disruptions to productivity. Today the population of white males in California entering the workforce is reduced to around 20 percent, turning “proportional representation” into a beast that sacrifices competence for inclusion. Worse, what was once blandly referred to as “affirmative action” has morphed into the far more expansive ideology known as “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

How the toxicity of DEI in all of its woke permutations has alienated capable white men was captured for me in an email I received from a younger friend who, despite being a California native, has permanently left the state and has no regrets about his decision. He writes:

“Could I succeed there? As much as any white male, which means never escaping being a second-class citizen with a weaker set of rights. I don’t participate in that because I have ideals, like not discriminating on gender except for recognizing natural biological differences, not discriminating on ethnic background besides recognizing the inherent value of cultural continuity, rewarding hard work and competence in competitive open economy, the value of strong cohesive societies. I would sleep on the street before I would be a slave to a system that hates me.”

Nuevo Religioso...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has something to say on that issue that the Democrats won’t be happy about. Adams bluntly described a disturbing trend he’s witnessed among young people in America. Speaking candidly about the radicalization of youth, he addressed the troubling case of Mangione, drawing a direct line between the shooter’s upbringing and the toxic influence of the education system that led to his violent actions.

Adams was quick to point out that Mangione’s background doesn’t fit the typical profile of someone prone to radicalization. “Ivy League, grew up in an affluent household,” he said, emphasizing the disconnect between the shooter’s privileged life and his eventual descent into hatred.

“His manifesto clearly is showing some signs of hating,” Adams continued, underscoring that even those with seemingly ideal circumstances can be consumed by a dangerous ideology.

Nuevo Man

The problem with writing about a presidential election is that everyone is writing about the presidential election. You run the risk of retreading well-trodden ground. Worse, for a columnist, you risk not only making the same argument others have made but also making it in a way that is not quite as good. Being unoriginal is perhaps worse than being wrong.

Here is, I think, one of the most important but unsurprising aspects of the outcome this year: President-Elect Donald Trump won men by 10 points according to early exit polls. That number could change after this column goes to print, but it’s safe to say, as does the left-leaning online magazine Vox, that if the 1992 election that sent record numbers of women to Congress was “The Year of the Woman,” then the 2024 election can be called “The Year of the Man.”

This fact carries with it political implications that can and will be ceaselessly parsed in the ensuing weeks and months. But it also carries cultural implications and opportunities. Ahead of the election, there were indicators, some obvious and some subtle, that signaled which way American men would break. More on that later.

It’s worth noting that the redshift among men wasn’t a strictly white phenomenon. There was movement among black and Hispanic males as well, with Trump winning about 20 percent and 54 percent, respectively. Again, that’s according to exit polls and subject to adjustment as more accurate data land. Still, left-leaning media is blaming everything from racism and sexism to the “epidemic of loneliness” among men that, according to them, isn’t hitting women in the same way. One of the rare times you will hear outlets like Vox express concern over the psychological and emotional well-being of men is when they vote the wrong way—a sign that their psychic architecture needs further reworking. The ideological beatings will continue until the Democratic Party’s margins improve.

DEI – Cultural Mountain-Sea Change – No longer for angry you white rights only

Murder is for everybody. It is how we have taught them to settle political differences.

It's okay to kill Hitler. Trump is Hilter. ∴ It's okay to kill Trump.

Protect babies. It is not a baby. ∴ It's okay to kill it.

Protect women. He's crazy enough to think he's a she. ∴ Protect her.

CEOs are Robber Barons. Robber Barrons deserves what they get. ∴ Kill the Robber Baron.

Nuevo Educational, right? We did not teach logic in schools. Too white or not aware enough, outdated, something.

We were too busy preaching doing right in the names of the harmed and aggrieved.

It paid off in a cultured youth.

Nueve Green

We're going to have to get smarter about resource management:

The Chinese government in recent weeks expanded its ban on exports of a handful of minerals found in critical military and energy technologies in America. The move puts a spotlight on America's domestic mineral supplies, many of which are locked in years-long federal permitting and regulatory reviews.

One such case is a project located at an abandoned gold mine in the heart of Idaho. That mine contains some of the nation's largest known deposits of the rare mineral antimony, which is among those affected by China's export restrictions. But after a staggering 14 years, the federal government has yet to give the Idaho project a green light to begin production.

Perpetua Resources, the developer of the Stibnite gold mine in Valley County, Idaho, first initiated study, engineering, and community engagement on the project in 2010. Since then, it has faced mountains of permit filings and lengthy environmental reviews conducted by at least five separate federal agencies.

It's okay to kill Trump.

A Republican tried to kill trump, AJ.

You tried. Hard.

Nuevo Democrat Realization – a mea culpa:

When Donald Trump declared, “I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,” he was channeling a nation’s fury. The online cheerleading for the killer of a health-care insurance CEO in New York City is just more evidence of this seething, populist anger.

In contrast, the Democratic Party has been blind to the rising sea of disillusionment. In today’s America, aspiration and ambition have been supplanted by anger and animosity. Talk about missing the moment.
This groundswell of resentment had been simmering for years. Trump just seized on it. So, we shouldn’t be surprised that he also drew support from large numbers of Democrats’ own “coalition of the ascendant” — minorities, young urbanites and women so successfully mobilized by President Barack Obama. From 2020 to 2024, Trump doubled his share of the Black vote to 16 percent, while the Latino vote rose from 35 percent to 43 percent.

Really Rahm?

Meanwhile, our language and priorities have reinforced the “aloof elite” stereotype. With inflation stinging, school absenteeism skyrocketing and students’ academic scores plummeting, Democrats consumed themselves in debates over pronouns, bathroom access and renaming schools and adopted terms such as “care economy” and “Latinx” to win over voters. It was a hermetically sealed conversation with ourselves, and we appeared much as we sounded: distant and detached.

Trump, on the other hand, captured the underlying zeitgeist. Rather than using his messaging against the Kamala Harris of 2024, he depicted her as the senator of the 2020 primaries, whose positions left her looking out of touch. Sure, his unfiltered words were crude — and often derogatory — but they reflected people’s feelings of abandonment.
