So, it turns out that “Anonymous” was Miles Taylor, who worked as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security under Kirstjen Nielsen from 2017 to 2019, who boasted about subverting Trump’s immigration agenda from the inside on behalf of “the Resistance.”
“WASHINGTON — Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, was the anonymous author of The New York Times Op-Ed article in 2018 whose description of President Trump as “impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective” roiled Washington and set off a hunt for his identity, Mr. Taylor confirmed Wednesday.
Mr. Taylor was also the anonymous author of “A Warning,” a book he wrote the following year that described the president as an “undisciplined” and “amoral” leader whose abuse of power threatened the foundations of American democracy. He acknowledged that he was the author of both the book and the opinion article in an interview and in a three-page statement he posted online. …
Mr. Taylor served for two years as a top aide to Kirstjen Nielsen, Mr. Trump’s third homeland security secretary, and wrote in The Times that he was part of a cadre of officials around Mr. Trump who were quietly working to “frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.” …”
“Miles Taylor, the former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff who stepped forward in August to blast President Donald Trump’s leadership, said Wednesday he’s “Anonymous,” the senior administration official who wrote a scathing op-ed and book about the Trump White House.
In a post on Medium entitled “Why I’m no longer Anonymous,” Taylor said he wrote the op-ed as a way to get the White House to focus on what he was saying about the danger he thought Trump posed to the country, instead of focusing on him.
“The decision wasn’t easy, I wrestled with it, and I understand why some people consider it questionable to levy such serious charges against a sitting president under the cover of anonymity. But my reasoning was straightforward, and I stand by it,” Taylor wrote. “Issuing my critiques without attribution forced the President to answer them directly on their merits or not at all, rather than creating distractions through petty insults and name-calling.”
In the original New York Times op-ed, Taylor wrote that “many of the senior officials in his own administration” were working against Trump from within “to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”
“We will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over,” the unnamed author wrote. “We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.” …”
“That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.
The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.
Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright. …
Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more. …
Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation.”
Next week, we are invited to go vote to reelect all the True Cons like Miles Taylor as well as Trump who has spent the last four years empowering these people to advance their own agenda.
I would rather just wash my hands of the mainstream Right than vote for this crowd again. Conservative liberalism is worthless and there is no such thing as “National Conservatism” or a “conservative-populist coalition” that doesn’t end up being the same old conservatism in practice.
Accomplishments? Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court. When it was time to deliver the goods for the people who put them on the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch ruled transgenderism was a protected class. Historic tax reform? That’s great for billionaires. Deregulation? That’s great for multinational corporations. Muh more robust military? Israel’s wish list? Who cares?
What are you doing for me? Nothing that I care about or anything that takes the load off my shoulders. The only argument for returning these people to power is to occupy space that would otherwise be held by Democrats and as Miles Taylor shows even that is really of questionable value.
idiotic white men using their skills to flood america with mexicans. what an absolute dipshit.
He must have a lot of copies of his book left in his parent’s basement. Speaking of his parents, I bet they are proud of their little back stabbing asshole.
This guy is a poster boy for the cuckservatives. He may not get the lucrative contracts he is hoping for though because the Left blames him for putting Mexican children in cages when he was at DHS. The truth of the charge against him, the details of the policy, the true treatment of unaccompanied minors etc. and his responsibility for the policy wan’t make an ounce of difference to the Left and their cuckservative allies; he committed a mortal sin and there is no atonement for that.
They will use him until the election to show how evil the Trump administration is then discard him when he is no longer useful. Maybe Mitt Romney can hire him then.
He should be commandeered, and tried as a traitor to America.
Tribalism is what we WANT. We DON’T want your EFFING Multicultural, BS ‘Globohomoschlomo values’ which are from HELL and the Jews. (same difference)
Make America WHITE Again- by any means necessary.
The White Man is God’s Adam. We ARE the Elect; the ONLY True Chosen People. ‘This nation was meant only for a moral people [ White Christians] It will not work with any other.’ – US President
Damned lying sob. May God DAMN him. Not because Trump is so wonderful, but because he was voted in BY TRUE AMERICANS to get rid of all schmucks… LIKE HIM.
“I would rather just wash my hands of the mainstream Right than vote for this crowd. Conservative liberalism is worthless and there is no such thing as ‘National Conservatism’ or a ‘conservative-populist coalition’ that doesn’t end up being the same old conservatism in practice.”
I don’t think you comprehend the seriousness of the situation. This election isn’t about support, it’s about survival.
The Democrats want to open the flood gates and install full blown tyranny to every nationalist-leaning American.
You’re always complaining about conservatives this and conservatives that. What about the Marxists? You don’t care if they get the presidency and congress?
You are really not thinking the situation thoroughly. Encouraging your readers to not vote is highly reckless and shows a disregard of the consequences of allowing these Marxists full access to power in our country.
Trump will probably win in a landslide, but in the case Joe Biden does win or steal the election, I wonder what Hunter Wallace’s two cents will be when Biden and his democratic congress shut down the economy, raise taxes, open the borders, grant mass amnesty in their first 100 days, support big tech, expand section 8 to every neighborhood, increase refugees by 700%, make ‘ hate speech’ a crime, clamp down the 1st amendment, clamp down on the second amendment, declare open season on White people and ‘White Supremacy…
Will Hunter Wallace say after all this is implemented: “I was a jackass for telling people it did not matter if we voted to prevent them to coming to power. I was wrong.”
Actually no. That’s not what you are going to say. You know why? You are a non-admitting accelerationist who wants the shit to hit the fan so you can have your so-called civil war / social unrest and bring about your ethno-state utopia.
You want Biden and the Democrats to win so you can see society collapse. That’s the truth of the matter. Yeah, Hunter, screw everyone else right?
I have a newsflash for you Hunter, there will be no civil war, the military industrial complex and police state will not allow it. If the Marxists gain real power. THEY WILL WIN.
Where have I said “do not vote” in the 2020 election?
I have my own opinion. I have given the reasons why I personally am not voting in the election. I have not, however, told anyone not to vote. I have not endorsed Joe Biden. I’ve said that Joe Biden will be terrible. I have also said I understand why people are voting *against* Biden. In my view, everyone has their own opinion and it will be over next week.
“Where have I said “do not vote” in the 2020 election?” – Hunter Wallace
“We don’t have any dog in this fight. It is not going to make any difference to us.” – Hunter Wallace
I gave you my personal opinion
Wallace,
Isn’t it odd? I remember last time, on my old blog. We never told anyone to not vote. We just wrote about the documented facts. But the Trump Astroturfers went ape-shit. One old troll, Laguna Beach Fogey, even said that everyone on the “Alt Right” like Richard Spencer should just shut up and stop saying anything because they were hurting Trump’s chances by being “racist.”
The astroturfers always have that basic agenda: we’re supposed to do work for the candidate, as opposed to the candidate working for us.
I suppose it’s just the mindset you get into when you are employed by a campaign, because, after all, that is YOUR job.
But it’s not my job. No one is paying me to shill for Trump and Likud. If they want to pay me, I have no doubt I could shill better than they do. But until I see a transfer to my bank account, I’m not going to stop discussing the issues I care about and instead talk about how brilliant Donald Trump is by whatever Kanye West.
As for the hysteria – remember, if you don’t vote to re-elect George W. Bush, John Kerry will let the terrorists win! Another 9/11!
@Gryphon’s Ferocity – TRUTH!!
Why does he remind me of David Hogg?
oh and btw, for all you nationalists out there think our entire demise is caused by the Jews…This Miles Taylor that has been screwing us on immigration is a White man. Look at the tech industry: Bill Gates, White man. Jack Dorsey of twitter, White man.
Who makes up Antifa? It’s mostly young White people.
Who owns the biggest mouthpiece of the Marxists? The Washington Post? Jeff Bezos, White man.
Who is leeching the world dry of its wealth? Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, who is a White man.
Who is the mayor of Portland? Ted Wheeler, White man.
That’s right ladies and gentleman, you are being screwed mostly by White people. White trash, White cucks, Human Garbage who do this to our own people. For every Jew trying to ‘replace us’, I guarantee you I can find 3 White people who also try to replace us.
Keep that in mind when Richard ‘the clown’ Spencer heaps praise on globalist scum like Macron and corrupt assholes like Biden….just because they are “White”.
It’s not good enough to be White these days. You also need to have the right values. Some people are beyond redemption and are just human garbage and need to be written off, these people will not change.
I have to object to this rant.
Unlike Andrew Anglin, Richard doesn’t lay it all at the feet of the Jews.
I wasn’t implying that Richard Spencer blames Jews. I was implying that he gives Macron and Biden a pass because they have pasty White skin on their flesh. If Macron and Biden were Black or Brown, Spencer would not be endorsing / posting positive comments about them.
Richard Spencer is like Q.
Q has been labeled anti-semetic.
Be like Q. lols
Q was all good for the old Boomer conned coomers, now it’s anti-semetic.
Oh well.
Karma.
Old Granddaddies biggest regret in Rhodesia was the failure of their propaganda, 3 Lt Col were in charge of it.
Karma is Q, Q is karma. Fail at your propaganda… Get rewarded with ANC policies. Karma is Q, Q is Karma. lols . Karmaic payback for Rhodesia. Q is Rhodesia. lols.
I’m betting $1000 on Biden to win at the TAB, cause Q failed at propaganda. At least Q has the right values, all damn goodall cuckservatives do.
Q Trump slide. Q Trust the plan. Q has values. Q final nail in Civ cuck nat coffin. Good on Q and Thank Q.
Republican party really is the stupid party, including their public servant lackeys and proxy NGO’s. .
I guess Gryphon doesn’t mind that the white trash are going to vote for Biden for some “GID ME DATS”. You know white trash are people to, it’s alright to be white trash. All lives… more lols. Some lives are worth more then others.
I’d rather chill and BBQ myself.
I’ll keep going, can’t help it I find the avatar of Gryphon entertaining.
Hunter is big brain nibba, I like reading him cause he big brain nibba. I like reading Gryphon cause she funny normal small brain yibba.
Alright serious now. If the Marxists gain power the MIC will do nothing except sell weapons and make money, that is what they believe in MONEY. That is all. They own all the choke points.
When Trump gained power I gave him 10 days to have the military secure the border, didn’t happen the MIC said “GTFO”. No doubt the MIC will sell more weapons and ammo to Homeland security. Got to secure the homeland from that Nation of white trash racists don’t ya know.
Sad but true. 🙁
Enjoy the Chill and BBQ.
Tip for Gryphon, don’t get so emotional, gives away that you’re a girl. Gotta get paid some how hey, even if you have to accuse someone of something he never said… 😛 Cause he won’t cover politics whatever and be the leader you want him to be. A girl once scorned, is just a whining bitch. It’s good they have make do work, where you get to write stuff… Silly abstract stuff about what you think people are really thinking.
Just so you all know the USA military could secure the USA southern border in 24 hours. lalalala Trust the plan Q. lols.
Build back better. lols
Yes, we white men will build back better. Always have and always will.
Remember to BBQ, that is most important.
To Barby or not to Barby that is the question. (Barby is slang for BBQ)
When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand kicked the jews out of Spain in 1492 with the Treaty of Granada..where do you suppose they went Brad? Freemasonry, Benjamin P. Judah the slave trade and the South,the KKK, the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, OxyContin, 10 million U.S. taxpayer dollars to Rothschild’s criminal HQ “Israel”, Hart Celler Act, Mass immigration, atheism, media deception and the anti White narrative, BLM, Antifa,ISIS, pedophilia and faggotry aren’t Presbyterian machinations Brad! They are jew machinations, and without those machinations, you wouldn’t have made this page and America certainly wouldn’t have the problems it has….its all at the feet of the jews Brad…ALL OF IT!
…not to mention Facebook, Google and the rest of the Talpiot jew owned tech companies..and ya, a lot of White people have been/are working for these jew companies/schemes but I’d say 80% to 90% of them are just regular Joe and Jill Americans trying to keep the bills paid and they are oblivious to the schemes of the sociopathic communist juden…it is not in the Aryan nature to think like a snake after all.
I prefer the term Judeo-Liberal Coalition. That way white liberals do not get off the hook because they are part of the problem. (Or maybe JLCC? Since the enemy loves putting letters together. Witness LGBTQ) Judeo-Liberal Color Coalition?
Hey everybody, look – it always eventually comes out.
“Stop talking about Jews! What about you white trash!”
Poor Jews, they are so oppressed in society. You can’t even turn on the TV without all the talking heads blaming Jews for everything. All those Hollywood movies demonizing Jews.
But no one ever says anything bad about Southern White Christian men – those redneck white trash bible thumping pieces of shit!
Really, they deserve to be replaced, don’t they? It’s not Jews doing it but they would be justified, wouldn’t they?
@Gryphon,
When Kyle Rittenhouse shot three fagtifa maxists in Kenosha defending himself, two of the three were “fellow whites ” aka jews.
White Gentiles that make up blm supporters and fagtifa should be retroactively aborted because the best part of them ran down their mother’s ass crack at birth. That being said, like corporate CEOs, judges, and jewmeadia moguls jews are disproportionately represented, and in fagtifa and blm, it is an even more lopsided percentage.
Question: Since you’re of the mind that people on OD take their marching orders from Richard Spencer and Hunter Wallace, who do you receive your talking points from? Charlie Kirk? Meghan McCain?
At least Trump didn’t start a new war. Quite amazing considering the snakes one degree of separation from him.
That meme is repeated constantly by some of his supporters. In reality, Trump is MORE militant than his predecessor, not ending but presiding over further escalation of all of the ongoing imperialist wars, and making many new threats and adding new proxy, cold and “hybrid” wars. His administration has set a new record for drone assassinations that are war crimes under international law; launched two failed invasions of socialist Venezuela using American mercenaries, to re-capture the world’s largest oil reserves; successfully overthrew socialism in Bolivia to regain control of the world’s largest lithium reserves; almost fully separated Kosovo from Serbia and Belarus from Russia; inaugurated the U.S. Space Force and militarized the Moon and outer space, et cetera et cetera.
Socialism might be making a comeback in Bolivia through an electoral landslide, but I doubt it. A “comeback” like with “socialist” Moreno following Correa in Ecuador. No doubt the Empire has a plan and the lithium is ours again. Now, on the eve of the election, there is a brand new war in the Caucasus at the border of Russia and it is impossible that the U.S. is not involved along with Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
“At least Trump didn’t start a new war.” – Yet; but there is still plenty of time. If Trump loses, why not go balls out for “Our Greatest Ally” and bomb Iran? Why did that scumbag, Sheldon Adelson, give Herr Trump tens of millions of dollars, again?
Maybe “Scumbag Sheldon” and the rest of his friends at AIPAC gave Trump (and many others, too) tens of millions of dollars because they are interested in “good government”. Maybe that’s what ‘ole “Scumbag Sheldon” is interested in and not really another war for “Our Greatest Ally” even though he publicly called for setting off a U.S. nuclear bomb in Iran. That’s why billionaires give millions to politicians, they are really, really interested in “good government”.
Nothing terrifies politicians more than “good government”. They don’t need to worry though, there is no threat of “good government” within a million miles. Ask Atty. Gen. Barr or special prosecutor Durham, their reports on Deep State criminality are always imminent but just a few inches out of reach.

“Neil Gorsuch ruled transgenderism was a protected class.
I didn’t know that,Judicial is kangaroo kourt .Congress critters are absolved from legislation.
“Gorsuch ruled”:
He is a lawyer like most of “our representatives” – Senators, U.S. House of Representatives, on down to the state level bodies, most are lawyers by profession. The legal profession must be outlawed or there can be no real democracy.
“No matter who you vote for, the government always gets back in.”
There was a clever a British comedy TV show made in the 1980s called Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister about this very thing. Every episode was about a high ranking bureaucrat named Humphrey Appleby thwarting the plans of the politician he was paid to serve. He said the British Civil Service see themselves as the real government of the United Kingdom, and they are the ones that formulate long term policy.
https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Sir_Humphrey_Appleby
Old Bob Whitaker pointed out similar. Whether the Republicans or Democrats get power, the people on the Beltway change sides and go work for them. He advocated that if you get power, fire them all and only hire your own.
” . . . if you get power, fire them all and only hire your own.” That’s exactly what “drain the swamp” means and exactly the opposite of what Trump did. Once in office Trump hired reliable, ‘Never Trump’ Republicans who made sure only a few miles of wall got built and the rest of the 2016 agenda withered away to nothing. Trump’s disputes with establishment Republicans and Democrats were clashes of personality, not policy of which Trump doesn’t seem to care much about.
When I was reading Bob’s blog, I noticed his ideas were sometimes borrowed by Republicans while they were running for office, and discarded as soon as they won.
You call them Never Trump Republicans. Bob called them the GOP establishment (GOPe). Bob also suggested Trump accept his victory over the GOPe, by pushing them out of the party. He also strongly suggested Trump get rid of Pence, because Pence was GOPe. Of course Trump did what Reagan did. Reagan chose a GOPe as his running mate, so the GOPe could take the party back after he was gone.
I took it that Bob was also talking about lower ranking employees of the civil service. Replace them with your own.
This advice was not for Trump’s ears alone. It was for anyone listening.
“Trump’s disputes with establishment Republicans and Democrats were clashes of personality, not policy of which Trump doesn’t seem to care much about.”
I don’t believe Trump runs anything but his mouth. Trump is the front man of a large organization that also runs his empire. Did you hear Trump was an actor on a very successful reality TV show?
He looks Gay or at least like a beta male. Hardly the visage you would expect a undercover political operative to have. Regardless, it sickens me every tine I hear America described as a Democracy. It is not a democracy and by that I do not mean I am going full conservative retard and bring up the idea that it is a Republic. It is only a republic in the most narrow sense in that it is not a monarchy. A true democracy is like Switzerland where the people actually get to vote on this issues. What we have here is a hostile Plutocratic oligarchy. Nobody gets to Congress, the Senate, or the White House unless they are wealthy or have connections with somebody that is. No Virginia, the average person in America cannot not grow up to be president! But would you really want to live in a nation where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become president? If so then we do live smack dab in the movie Idiotocracy.
