Last month, Achmed E. Newman left a comment in Bugs/Suggestions:

If Mr. Sailer is really done here, then do as with the Russian guy, and have a thread once a week*. We commenters might want to still converse there. I suppose each thread could be cut off at some comment count, but they trickle off anyway, so just do it weekly. (Or iSteve could throw in a quick post to get it started each time.)

Yes, your commenting system is THE BEST.

Soon afterwards, I replied:

I’d actually been thinking of suggesting the exact same thing if Steve has indeed stopped posting here.

Things have worked out fine with the “Karlin Community” over the last couple of years and it would be easy enough for me to implement the same sort of thing for the “iSteve Community” if they were interested.

I obviously don’t want to have to moderate the comments or get someone else to do that. So what I was thinking of doing was setting things up so that all longtime isteve participants have their comments automatically approved. That would prevent interlopers from joining in and disrupting the style of the discussions with their very different sorts of views.

A couple of days later, I included this exchange in the most recent Steve Sailer thread, and seemed to generally got a very positive reaction.

Since it’s now been more than a couple of weeks since Steve’s last post, and the existing thread is well over 800 comments, I’ve added this new Open Thread. So long as interest continues, I’ll add a new one every week or two.

Moderating these iSteve comments would be a nuisance, so I’ll add a bit of code that automatically approves all comments for individuals considered established members of the “iSteve Community.” Right now, that will include all commenters who have had at least 50 approved iSteve comments since the beginning of 2024, though I can easily adjust the parameters based upon feedback. Other comments will be held in moderation, and...

Oh, what a history the country of Liberia boasts!

With a Constitution directly modeled after the United States of America, Liberia was the brainchild of the American Colonization Society (ACS). Freed blacks were resettled in portion of land in Africa, and in 1847 declared its independence from the ACS and was recognized in 1848 by Britain as an independent nation. After Haiti was birthed in the blood White genocide, Liberia became the second black republic in the world.

With a capital city named after US President James Monroe, freed blacks in America had the chance to return to their native continent and create a nation free of the sins of that legacy which has come to define race relations in the USA since (a convenient crutch to constantly fall back on to blame 21st century failure upon), with no redlining or White privilege to manifest invisible barriers and hinder growth.

Right?

Well, that’s not exactly as Liberia turned out. [As U.S. abruptly ends support, Liberia faces empty health clinics and unplanned pregnancies: USAID built schools and health clinics, but most of the U.S. funding went to Liberia’s health system, making up 48% of its budget, NBC News, July 8, 2025]:

SARWORLOR, Liberia — Five months ago, Roseline Phay, a 32-year-old farmer from the West African nation of Liberia, set off on a quest to find contraceptives.

Phay and her partner have two daughters, and they barely make ends meet. Determined not to have more children, she went to a health worker in her village, but contraception pills, implants and condoms had run out. Phay trekked for hours on red clay roads to the nearest clinic, but they had no contraceptives either.

She did not know it, but her mission was doomed from the beginning. Just weeks before, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly suspended most foreign aid through the U.S. Agency for International Development, which paid for medications in Liberia’s public clinics.

Tenacious and outspoken, Phay repeated the trip four...

Years ago, I made the mistake of flying Spirit Airlines. Never made that mistake again.

In early 2024, I had the opportunity to take a cruise. When I found it was going to be a Carnival Cruise, I politely declined. Having viewed ample social media posts on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Twitter of vibrant guests enjoying their time on a boat under the banner of Carnival, it was a no-brainer to say “no thanks” and pass on this invitation to enjoy a week in the Caribbean.

No amount of complimentary drinks could insulate one from the unfortunate racial realities present on a Carnival Cruise. And apparently, these realities and quickly being branded the equivalent of Spirit Airlines on the sea were enough to convince the C-suite at Carnival to institute new rules governing behavior on their fleet of ships. [‘CARNIVAL DECIDED THEY WANTED TO REBRAND’: BLACK PASSENGERS SAY THEY FEEL TARGETED BY CRUISE LINE’S NEW RULES, Black Enterprise, July 5, 2025]:

Carnival Cruise Line is under fire after implementing a series of new onboard policies that some Black passengers say are restrictive at best and racist at worst.

“This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted … and get it, without turmoil, without sweat, without tears.” Starship Troopers

After the events of 9/11 – if you believe the story as laid out by the 9/11 Commission Report – when less than a score of Muslims brought down the World Trade Center buildings, flew a plane into the Pentagon, and fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, the Saracen population has increased dramatically. A sane nation would have simply stopped all immigration from Muslim nations after a horrific terror attack left more than 3,000 Americans dead, but our Muslim population is now close to five million in the USA due to immigration and refugee resettlement.

Meanwhile, New York City was roughly 96% White in 1925. In 2025, New York City is 33% White.

We lost our nation to the horror of the consequences of the 1965 Immigration Act, and then any attempt to stop the flood of immigration into our nation was met with cries of “nativist” or howls of “racist.”

Surrendering your country has consequences. [Zohran Mamdani Proposes Taxing ‘Whiter Neighborhoods’ in NYC, New York Post, June 28, 2025]:

New York City’s Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has said he wants to “shift the tax burden” to “richer and whiter neighborhoods” if he secures election in November.

A housing policy document on Mamdani’s official website includes a pledge to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”

Newsweek contacted the Mamdani campaign for comment via email on Friday outside of regular office hours.

Why It Matters

Mamdani’s proposal has already sparked a...

The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 is one of the biggest Blood Libels against White Americans. HBO’s Watchmen TV series retconned Alan Moore’s titular 1980s comic as having its foundation in the black heroes who arose from this purported White massacre, of which all White people across America are uniquely responsible for participating in (whether or not they’ve ever set foot in Tulsa, this incident is just another sin for which there is no atonement). You can read THE MASSACRE OF BLACK WALL STREET comic, a prequel to the HBO Watchmen series, here. It was released the year before the George Floyd Riots.

Well, it turns out a black celebration in the hallowed grounds of Greenwood, where in 1921 White people flew planes over the black citizens there and dropped bombs on them (spoiler: this didn’t happen, though Watchmen depicts this fiction transpiring as fact, only fueling further anti-White animosity in contemporary blacks), ended with yet another Juneteenth black on black massacre.

Yes, this really happened in 2025.

One dead, seven wounded in a black on black mass shooting at a Juneteenth celebration in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the very ground where the fabled Black Wall Street once stood. [Juneteenth shooting angers Greenwood community, Tulsa World, June 23, 2025]:

“I feel like, in a way, people have lost a reverence for Greenwood,” Tony Williams, a member of the Greater Tulsa Area African American Affairs Commission, said during a combination press conference and community meeting in the business of the victim’s aunt on North Greenwood Avenue’s historic 100 block. “Greenwood is not just a place for us to come together and party. We’re supposed to honor this place. We’re supposed to protect each other, be there...

All across the nation this upcoming Fourth of July, families will attend picnics, parades, and pool parties to celebrate the United States of America.

Our Independence from the United Kingdom. Steak will be grilled, drinks will spilt and fireworks will be shot high into the sky.

No one will know that the celebration of Juneteenth in 2025, a Federal holiday celebrating a minor day of significance for freed blacks in Texas, was yet another moment confirming stereotypes. [1 dead, 9 wounded in mass shooting at Juneteenth party outside VFW hall, NY Post, June 22, 2025]:

One person was killed and nine others were injured when gunfire tore through a massive crowd at a Juneteenth celebration near a VFW hall in South Carolina Saturday night, according to officials.

The carnage started around 10 p.m. when a fight broke out at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post outside of Greenville, Fox Carolina reported.

Gunfire erupted and caused hundreds of panicked partygoers to flee, “leaving behind shoes and debris in the roadway,” the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The sole fatality, 35-year-old Laporshia Janae Gray Cobb, died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the abdomen, according to WSPA.

Another victim was flown to Greenville Memorial Hospital, and at least 8 others were taken to local hospitals in Anderson and Greenville, cops said.

More than 100 cops. EMS, and firefighters responded to the scene.

The shooting took place just feet away from the VFW on Scarborough Road, where a sixth annual Juneteenth celebration was taking place — celebrating the end of slavering in the US.

“The shooting occurred outside within feet of a Veterans of Foreign Wars, however, the post does NOT have any affiliation with the event itself,” the sheriff’s office stressed in the release.

There is currently no additional available information on the victims or the motive of the shooter.

Rest in peace, Laporshia. Fitting this happened feet from a Veterans of Foreign...

It’s as if a few cogent people looked around after the insanity of the post-George Floyd Era, made eye contact with other individuals who realized the adults had lost control, turned off the lights to try and calm things down and realized it was time to reassert control of the narrative. Maybe it’s not such a good idea if Juneteenth replaces Independence Day as the foundational myth uniting the American people (or supplanting what Dead White Males did in 1776 with what more than 600,00 Dead White Males helped make possible in 1865).

But nature is healing. [Corporate Sponsors Pull Support For Juneteenth Celebrations: Canceled federal grants and businesses moving away from so-called brand activism have hit the bottom line of events marking the end of slavery in the U.S., Huffington Post, June 18, 2025]

Five years ago, we lived in an open-air insane asylum. Trying to trudge through the muck of misery ushered in by the Scylla of Covid hysteria starting in January of 2020 and then the Charybdis of George Floyd dying of a fentanyl overdose while in police custody in May created a perfect storm incapacitating tens of millions of Americans from rational thinking.

No story epitomizes this unfortunate lapse in mental discernment quite like this one, where a form of racial amnesia swept the nation and doctors, virologists and epidemiologists decided in union to state Black Lives Matter protests/riots against racism and oppression was a “public health issue” and vital to the nation, when COVID was previously a virus worth locking down the American people for two weeks in March to stop the spread. [Over 1,000 health experts sign letter supporting anti-Black racism protests despite COVID-19 risks: ‘Racism and oppression is a public health issue,’ says infectious diseases expert Dr. Abby Hussein, CBC.CA, June 8, 2020]:

More than 1,000 U.S. public health experts say it would be a mistake to shut down protests against police brutality and anti-Black racism following the murder of George Floyd in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In an open letter published Friday, around 1,200 doctors, nurses and epidemiologists argued that — while risky — these protests are “vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States.”

“White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19. Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police compared to white people, but the effects of racism are far more pervasive,” the letter said.

Dr. Abby Hussein, an infectious disease fellow at the University of Washington and one of the letter’s first signatories, said the goal is to change the narrative that those protesting are “unsafe”...

Imagine being a White guy getting an aerospace engineering degree from a top university. Perhaps you get an MBA too. You secure an amazing job with Lockheed Martin, where you get to work on the F-35, one of the the most advanced fighter jets in the world. You do superb work, excel at your job and have a manager who sees how well you are doing and have the opportunity to get a hefty bonus based on your performance.

Your whole career post-high school was to study hard for that 4.0, miss out on time with friends and a relationship with that cute girl you always smiled your way as you passed by her in the Quad. As your about to get your first big bonus, you think about her, wondering what ever happened to her and where you’d be together now if you had just said “hello.”

Then La Wanda Moorer enters your life and your dreams for advancement at Lockheed Martin are stymied because of the color of your skin. DEI, the ultimate manifestation of anti-Whiteness strikes. [Whistleblower: Lockheed Martin Awarded Bonuses Based on Race: The company allegedly required managers to reward employees “on the basis of their skin color alone and contrary to documented performance.”, City Journal, June 12, 2025]:

Many believe that masculine industries, such as military and defense, are naturally immune to left-wing race and gender ideologies. This is mostly a myth. These institutions are organized according to prestige and profit—and when those signals point to “woke,” industry leaders have dutifully followed.

Take America’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin. As we have previously reported, after the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Lockheed adopted radical DEI policies and, in one instance, required white men in leadership positions to attend a racial reeducation program and atone for their “white male privilege.”

Now, a whistleblower has come forward to claim that Lockheed executives were so committed to DEI policies that they awarded...
