Joe Biden Quits the Race and Endorses Kamala Harris
In January I’d written about how I found myself “violently disinterested” in this year’s upcoming presidential election.
I’m still cynical about the idea that it matters who’s president when it seems obvious that the country is like a terminal patient waiting to die. In fact, I’m cynical about the idea that it ever mattered who’s president, when it seems obvious that bankers have always run the country.
But far be it from me to rob people of hope in a world that seems hopeless, so if you think Trump is going to get the nation back on course, I’d be a complete dick to rain on your parade.

Having said all that, the events of the past two weeks have been so insanely dramatic that I now find myself violently interested in the campaign, if only from a dramatic perspective.
On Saturday the 13th, Trump heroically survived an attempt on his life. And yesterday, on the 21st — which is technically outside of the confines of last week — Joe Biden announced on Twitter/X that he was dropping out of the race and threw his full, spindly, brittle-boned weight behind the charmless half-breed whore Kamala Harris.
I was surprised that the announcement came before Biden met with Benjamin Netanyahu, because it had been announced that he planned to clear his possible withdrawal with the Israeli Führer before making that leap.
Online armchair analysts have offered several reasons for why they think Harris is unelectable. Among them:
- As California’s Attorney General, she was less than kind to black offenders and kept several of them locked up past their release date. Beyond that, black men hate black women and won’t vote for them, even if the “black woman” in question is half-Indian and is descended from slaveowners.
- She isn’t married to a black man but rather the Jewish entertainment lawyer Doug Emhoff, a fact which might cost her votes among black women.
- She is unquestionably insane, a biological fact which can be proved merely by watching her repeat the insipid phrase “What can be, unburdened by what has been” in various minor iterations at appearance after appearance. (See if you can last the full four minutes of that compilation; I couldn’t.)
- No one has a firm idea of what she stands for — if anything — and it seems as if many would prefer that she hadn’t fallen out of that coconut tree.
So Kamala Harris is the chosen one.
She is absolutely batshit bonkers crazy.
This is going to be so fun to watch.

Regardless, early polling finds Harris only two points behind Trump, a position she’s held consistently since July 4.
Many are predicting that August’s Democratic Convention in Chicago will be a repeat of 1968’s bloody DNC in Chicago. The Democrats have about a month to settle on someone else. Names being batted around are almost uniformly female, chief among them Gretchen Whitmer, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama. The only plausible male candidate is California Governor Gavin Newsom, who might be too politically savvy to enter this race and may wait until 2028.
But the prospect of Trump versus a supremely annoying black woman has “race war” written all over it, don’t you think?
Trump Picks Shapeshifting Butterball James Donald Bowman as His Running Mate
Last week at an aggressively multicultural Republican National Convention that bore uncomfortable similarities to the film Idiocracy, Donald Trump selected Ohio Senator J. D. Vance as his running mate.
You may have heard of J. D. Vance, but you probably didn’t know that he wasn’t born as James David Vance but rather as James Donald Bowman before finally settling on a new name that swaps out his middle and last names, only to preserve the “James.”
In 2018 I wrote a critical review of Vance’s breakthrough book Hillbilly Elegy. I titled it “Let’s Blame the Hillbillies for All Their Problems,” but editors changed the title so that it included the word “Dissent,” which, much like “Dissident,” is a word I’d never use, but let’s not quibble. The main thrust of my review is in these three paragraphs:
Yet when Vance takes a bleak look at the rotten-toothed, opiate-addled, food-stamp-slinging people who apparently didn’t have the smarts or character to lift themselves out of their environment like he did, he can’t seem to bring himself to blame anyone but the hillbillies. Rising addiction and suicide rates among this population, along with its unprecedented drop in longevity rates, is solely framed as a moral failing — it can’t possibly be pinned on the fact that politicians sold all the middle- and working-class jobs overseas and imported millions of hostile nonwhite proles to snap up the remaining low-paying jobs.
All the despair he observes is blamed on some vague spiritual sickness rather than on material realities. His diagnosis is no less scolding or condescending than Barack Obama’s finger-wagging about rural losers who bitterly cling to guns and Bibles.
Although he self-identifies as a conservative, Vance sends little moralistic smoke signals throughout the book that indicate he’s entirely under the thrall of liberal thought-policing. He repeatedly refers to racism, sexism, and homophobia as if they were leprosy. He speaks of Barack Obama with a reverence that is so squirrelly, it borders on Chris Matthews’s infamous line about a thrill going up his leg. He suggests that rural Americans who distrust a media who openly hate and defame rural Americans are simply paranoid and uneducated.
Back then, Vance was firmly anti-Trump, calling him an “idiot,” saying he “can’t stomach Trump,” alleging that “he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place,” wondering whether Trump might be “America’s Hitler,” and even threatening in 2016 that he might vote for Hillary Clinton if it seemed that Trump had a chance of winning.
As recently as 2022, when he was running for US Senate against Tim Ryan in Ohio, Vance balked at the idea that he was a racist:
Here’s exactly what happens when the media and people like Tim Ryan accuse me of engaging in great replacement theory. What happens is my own children — my biracial children — get attacked by scumbags online and in person, because you are so desperate for political power that you’ll accuse me, the father of three beautiful biracial babies, of engaging in racism. We are sick of it. You can believe in a border without being a racist.
Now, lifted in part by huge donations from billionaire Peter Thiel and the approval of Hasidic singers, Vance is now a firm Trumpster and a rabid/vehement/virulent Zionist.
I do not trust this man.
Deader than Joe: Sheila Jackson Lee, the Dumbest Woman in Congress, Beats Biden to the Grave
Last Friday, God swooped down from the heavens and selfishly deprived our planet of Sheila Jackson Lee’s presence, leaving a 74-year-old trail of skid marks on our collective consciousness.
In their fawning obit, The New York Times feted the tiny dead negress as a “Champion for Progressive Causes.” Okay, well, if Ted Kennedy was the “Lion of the Senate,” Sheila Jackson Lee was the Hippo of the House of Representatives.
![](https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Goad-Answer-Me-2-234x300.jpg)
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
She was born Sheila Jackson in Queens, New York, and for reasons which I will bet my house had nothing to do with raw intelligence, she somehow squirmed into Yale University and was bequeathed a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 1972.
She moved down to Houston, Texas with her undoubtedly longsuffering husband, Elwyn Cornelius Lee, and in 1995 she managed to get elected as the US representative for the Lone Star State’s 18th Congressional district, which is nearly twice as black as it is white, which helps explain why this pint-sized nimrod kept getting elected. She would hold that position until pancreatic cancer nipped her in the bud last Friday, and I already regret typing this sentence, because it leads me to ponder exactly what part of the body the “bud” is and what Sheila Jackson Lee’s bud looked like.
With all due respect and preemptive apologies to anyone who has to live in Houston, I’ve always found it to be the most unpleasant of America’s biggest cities. It’s the nation’s “most diverse” major metropolis and is an endlessly sprawling mishmash that seems to have been designed by Jackson Pollock. Last I checked, Houston was suffering from extended power outages due to Hurricane Beryl, and of course there has been looting.
Ms. Jackson Lee left us with so many memories that would have been funnier if you discount the fact that we were paying her salary and that she infected Congress like a big black herpes sore for nearly 30 years. Among these memories:
In 1997 during a visit to the California operations center for the Mars Pathfinder, she inquired as to whether the Pathfinder had taken a photo of the American flag that astronaut Neil Armstrong had planted there in 1969.
In 2003, Lee expressed her discomfort that hurricane names were too “lily white” and suggested that future hurricanes should receive monikers such as “Keisha, Jamal, and Deshawn.”
As you may know, the Vietnam War was ostensibly a struggle to prevent the spread of Communism, but it failed, and more than 58,000 American soldiers lost their lives in the process, while there are estimates that far more than 58,000 former soldiers killed themselves after coming home. But in 2010 — 35 years after the war ended and became the united Socialist Republic of Vietnam a year later — she said, live and on camera:
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.
She implied in 2014 — which was 226 years after the US Constitution was ratified — that the Constitution was, in fact, 400 years old.
In 2019 Lee said she’d personally held an AR-15 rifle in her hands and that it was “as heavy as ten boxes that you might move in.”
She alleged in 2022 that not only can sticks and stones break your bones, but it was “well documented that words nowadays can actually break your bones,” too.
She got caught on tape last year berating her staffers as “fuckups” and “idiots.”
This past spring during the solar eclipse, she delivered this astronomically dubious speech…
Provide unique light and energy so that you have the energy of the moon at night and sometimes you’ve heard the word full moon and sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases and that’s why the question the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon. The gas is such that we could do that. The sun is a mighty powerful heat that is almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable, and you will see in a moment, or not a moment, you’ll see in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon.
. . . and then struggled valiantly to put on her eclipse glasses.
But more than anything else, the world will remember that Sheila Jackson Lee was a dancer.
Philly Woman Shoots Baby in Stroller Over $100 Drug Debt; the Negro Infant’s Parents Fled Because They Had Warrants
In a video that rattles the soul even when you factor in that it took place in Philadelphia and all the major actors were black, a stout woman with dreadlocks shot at a seven-month-old male in his stroller. When the black tot’s mother started screeching, “Mah baby!”, the gunwoman yelled “Fuck your baby, bitch!” and then triumphantly sauntered away.

When police arrived, both parents had fled the scene, and police suspect it’s because they both had outstanding criminal warrants.
On Friday, police arrested 28-year-old Dominique Billups, charging her with three counts of aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, and reckless engagement, among other offenses.
“That video is very disturbing,” said Police Lieutenant Dennis Rosenbaum on Saturday, “and it looks like this all stems from a $100 narcotics debt, is what we’re being told.” Mr. Rosenbaum also said that Ms. Billups was already familiar to police, as she’d been shot in the same neighborhood in August 2022.
A passerby had rushed the wounded infant to a local hospital, where it was determined he’d suffered a non-fatal leg injury from a 9mm bullet, which at seven months old has already earned him lifelong ghetto cred.
12-Year-Old Girl Charged with Suffocating 8-Year-Old Cousin to Death “After Fight Over iPhone”
“I just lost my baby, the most beautiful child of God,” wails Rayana “Rayy” Smith, the mother of eight-year-old Demeria Hollingsworth, on a GoFundMe page set up to help give a proper burial to the young child who, it must be noted, does not share her mother’s surname.
For undisclosed reasons, Ms. Smith had sent her daughter off to stay with her grandmother in Humboldt, Tennessee for the entire summer, but little Demeria didn’t even live to see the dawning of August.
According to the Daily Mail, police have charged the hapless Demeria’s 12-year-old cousin with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence “after suffocating the little girl with bedding after [a] fight over [an] iPhone”:
The unidentified girl, who turns 13 next week, allegedly used bedding to suffocate Demeria Hollingsworth, eight, before cleaning up and repositioning her body on Monday, according to WREG.
The girl’s mother writes on her GoFundMe page, which as of this writing has already raised nearly $15,000:
The pain I’m feeling is unbearable. I have to now live life without her in this crazy world.
All this crazy, unbearable pain could have been averted if Ms. Smith hadn’t sent her daughter away for the summer. Then again, Ms. Smith would be $15,000 poorer.
Voodoo Candles Cause Explosion on Haitian Migrant Boat, 40 Die at Sea
In 2022, the Miami Herald ran a story titled “As Desperate Haitians Take to the Sea, They Turn to Vodou To Help Guide Their Journeys.” The piece seemed to unquestioningly assert that voodoo rituals helped superstitious Haitians safely traverse the water in their quest to leech off nations more prosperous than Haiti — i.e., every other nation in the Western Hemisphere:
But mariners and owners of Haiti’s wooden sloops like the ones that have successfully made landings in the Florida Keys since November have another explanation for why, after years of being intercepted, some are suddenly getting through: Vodou.
The faith in the essential role of Vodou in the clandestine migrant operations is rooted in the same mysticism that many Haitians believe launched the first successful slave revolt in modern history.
No mention was made of the fact that from 1791 until the present, Haitians continued practicing voodoo, only to wind up with modern Haiti.
Now comes this headline from the same Miami Herald: “Vodou ritual with candles on migrant boat sets off explosion, kills 40 Haitians at sea”:
A Vodou ceremony aboard a boat filled with desperate Haitian migrants seeking a safe landing ended in tragedy after candles and matches used in the ritual set gasoline-filled drums on fire, setting off an explosion that killed at least 40 people.
I figured I’d end this week’s news on a lighter note.

Lighter note. Haha I get it. The brilliant seamen surely were using one when they went boom. I guess trump is still aiming for the big tent republicans that have proven to be failures at winning. He’s already portrayed as being a supporter of whites. Why not actually act like one now and then?
You are one hundred percent correct Mr Goad, black people can do a lot worse things than eat water melon in public, every subject matter and person of enrichment in your piece proves it to an unfathomable level; sadly, depressingly and yes, even laughably.
I figured I’d end this week’s news on a lighter note.
Perfect. Thanks for that.
As a Christian I used to deny the curse of Ham, but man, maybe our great Christian ancestors really were correct that negros are cursed by God. I just don’t know what else can explain the way they are
As far as Kamala (or whomever they nominate) I predict that they will win. The 10+ million border crossers will most certainly be voting, none of the fraud from 2020 was ever dealt with, and there’s going to be a lot of voter apathy from Whites — due to a combination of JD Vance, all the pandering to gays and non-whites, a freaking Sikh and Hindu prayer at the convention, and all of the failures from the first term to deport illegals and prevent new ones.
I wonder if the Dems getting every chamber of the government, causing gas to get to $7 a gallon, a 2-bedroom apartment in Des Moines going up to $3,000 a month, and the most unspeakable criminality by blacks, Latinos, and Muslims in EVERY SQUARE MILE of our suburbs might be the only thing that can wake Whites up at this point.
Sigh…..
You definitely have good reason to have Mr. Vance on your radar. Everything I read about him makes me more suspicious. Is he poised to flood the country with more H1-B red dots? That’s my guess. I grew up next door to a family of them, and I’ve come to realize that it took at least ten years off my mother’s life.
And a big thank you for ending this worst week on a positive note.
Red dots are the most soulless demographic I’ve ever encountered. Out of all the races, they seem to have a unique contempt for white people, rivaling the Tribe.
Soulless. Disgusting. Zombies. Every word out of their mouths is a lie.
Like Mr. Goad’s favorite movie said about rich white kids “ they’re worse than the n***ers”. 30 years of dealing with them has taught me plenty. What makes them feel benign to whites is that they’re not a violent threat. I’ve never met one that I couldn’t beat the f**k out of. But they are by far the most dishonest people I’ve ever met.
I’m glad you point this out, because one thing with many White Nationalists that I’ve grown sick of is this ludicrous idea that non-whites who have low rates of violent crime/illegitimate children are somehow “not any measurable threat” to Whites and White countries — and nothing can be further from the truth.
As a result, the threat of Indians and all other Asiatics (yes, even Chinese) has largely been ignored, while Asians were only 700,000 total people in 1960 and they’re upwards of 21 million today.
Whites have also ignored many Asians like Hmong people who are just as bad as blacks wherever they go, and Whites are way too soft on Mestizos — another group that was barely 1 million in 1960 and is now around 55-60 million today.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not in any way implying that black crime and illegitimacy should be ignored, nor am I suggesting that a serious solution isn’t needed with the blacks, but for heavens’ sake, we can’t focus on them exclusively and not the others who are changing our country and hurting us
She got caught on tape last year berating her staffers as “fuckups” and “idiots.”
So she did get one thing correct.
Thanks for the “Unburdened Compilation”. I quite enjoy seeing these catchphrase robots exposed. It brought to mind this hilarious oldie from Ed Milliband when he had a shot at becoming British PM in 2015:
https://youtu.be/mCV5XWiW6gc?si=C0lFt9MKv8SF5XI-
I’ll take Vance over the colored guy from Carolina or the Mexican from Fla or that puppy killing tranny. Neither George Wallace nor Lester Maddox could get elected dog catcher today. Pale repubs beat any kind of dem, a party that hates Whitey as its reason for existence.
With regards to Houston, I hate it too. Despite my moniker I am a Texas native (not from Houston) and have lived in Texas for most of my life (I had a terrible 2 years living in Seattle), with several relatives in Houston. Since I was a child, I dreaded having to go to Houston to visit them. Being there literally made me feel sick, terrible headaches and nausea. More on that later.
Your description of Houston as “an endlessly sprawling mishmash that seems to have been designed by Jackson Pollock” is perfect. From what I understand, Houston doesn’t really have zoning laws, so it is literally a mishmash of everything.
The last time I was in Houston was in 2013 for the funeral of my Uncle. The previous time I was there was in 2006 when I was working for an environmental testing company that mostly tests groundwater collection wells at commercial real estate sites (the company is not located in Houston, we took a plane from elsewhere in Texas to get there). The only reason I went on the trip is that I was sent there to be a “bodyguard” (I’m big I guess) for the guy who was the actual collector/tester (white like me), because the sites being tested were in Houston’s notorious and very black “5th Ward”. The ward system was abolished in the early 90s, but everyone down there still calls certain neighborhoods by what ward number they used to be.
So, my job on that day was to stand around looking scary with a collapsible baton (illegal in Texas at the time) in my hand, and to ward off (get it) interloping blacks, which there were plenty of, mostly old drunks and some younger crackheads looking for a handout. I guess we were technically the interlopers though.
The funny part of it all is that my job at the company was really just to draw CAD maps of the sites where tests were being done, but they were too cheap to hire real security, so the sent me along on what would have otherwise been a one-man job. At least it paid well. It probably won’t surprise anyone who knows anything about Houston – it’s extremely polluted. The collection wells we tested had hazardous levels of benzene and other nasty chemicals in the water. That neighborhood should probably be walled off and bulldozed and let nature take back over.
I hope that I never have to go to Houston again.
I wish “Heels Up Harris” lots of luck – she’s gonna need it!
By far the best report of the worst week yet. Thank you Mr. Goad.
The past three/four weeks have put Lenin’s quote to life where he said there are weeks where nothing happens (two more weeks meme) and weeks where decades happen. The gas for the Democrats gaslighting about Biden being a-okay finally ran out after Biden’s atrocious debate performance the end of June. Usually with these debates it’s the “my guy won, you’re guy lost!” “No! My guy won, you’re guy lost!” ad nauseum. In this case, Biden was so bad, even Democrats knew he was bad to the point to the calls for him to step down. Then came the damage control interview with Lester Holt about two weeks later which made things even worse. After that, even more Democrats came out calling for him to call it quits. Then came the failed assassination attempt of Biden’s political opponent. Then the cherry on the shit sundae, Biden being diagnosed with Covid and “isolating” at his private home. I think the Covid thing was all a ruse. It was to stage an intervention where all the Democrat big shots told him it was time to call it quits.
‘The events of the past two weeks have been so insanely dramatic that I now find myself’ violently interested in the campaign’. I can’t take my eyes off it. It’s like a dystopian soap opera (good band name). As for Houston, I have never visited the city but the airport was enough. Dante wrote in private correspondence that he had an extra circle of hell all ready to go, but he nixed it because he thought it would be too gruelling for his readers. That’s Houston Airport.
Just wait until you see Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
A moment of somber reflection for Shelia Jackson Lee… may she rest in peace in the heavens above while life on earth goes on, as sure as the world turns and rotates around the moon.
Hahahahaha, J Webb.
And Bidet is back from the shortest Covid cycle ever. And just in time to throw ‘his full, spindly, brittle-boned weight’ behind the hyena-cackling, unburdened-brained, Kamaltoe Harris. I’m so hoping she picks that jew Shapiro to be her running mate so the dopey white people can see in the flesh the two groups who despise us the most. In the congress and governorships are 40 jews and 2 are Republicans.
Soon a joint session of congress is to get a full dressing down by Fuhrer Nuttinyahoo. I think it will be the 11th time by a leader of that country while an important ally of the US like the UK has done so 4 or 5 times.
Important ally of the US…before Britain lost out to Israel as first in the hearts and minds of America’s rulers, it’s importance was in dragging the US into two world wars to destroy Germany and further Jewish interests.
With all the historic political drama the past few weeks possibly winding down, Mr. Goad might take a stab at or skewer this:

Yes there are alien peoples that can be blamed. Ultimately change come from within.

He says this as a cold sweat rolls down his ass. When the “rural losers” get their head together… We’ll see.
