A hoard of Africans beating down a gate that read “fraternite” is so ridiculously on the nose it’s hard to believe it’s real.

Mass migration is an incredibly asymmetric gamble. If it goes well, you boost GDP by a few percentage points. If it goes poorly, you end up with a permanent foreign body, constant conflict between groups, massive resource transfers, and slow reshaping of society to manage it.

This is not a zany story about crazies in academia. This is a disturbing story about a frightening, Orwellian, existential risk to civilization.
New paper in Contexts laments that biology textbooks reinforce gender inequality by describing how pollen travels to fertilize female plants while female plants wait to receive it. Describing plant reproduction reproduces “dominant cultural ideas about masculinity and femininity.”

This is your reminder of the great circle routes that ICBM would take to hit the center of the USA from: Iran (Red); Purple (Pakistani) [NB: these are also the routes from most of the Russian ICBM fields]; Russia (Yellow); PRC (Orange); NORK (White). Adjust actual launch sites and actual targets as needed. You can do this yourself on GoogleEarth. Greenland is the shield for North America from most of the worst places in the world. To have it under utilized as such has always been a threat to the USA since the invention of intercontinental bombers and missiles. This is by far an exceptional net good. Well meaning people can argue about how we got here, but we got here. No one else made it happen.

“America isn’t a people, it’s an idea.” “Well, can we at least deport the people who openly reject the idea?” “No, that would be against the ideas!” This is the game we’ve been playing for over 60 years now. Civic nationalism inevitably destroys itself because it’s utterly incapable of making literally any value judgements between those who openly reject the civics and those who adhere to it. Why bother adhering or even learning the civics in the first place if there’s absolutely zero price to pay for betraying them?

The Heritage American debate isn’t just about severing your connection to the American past. The more sinister idea is that what you do today carries no inheritance forward. Serve your country. Build something. Sacrifice. Endure. Die for it. Then be told your descendants have no special claim to your story, no right to take pride in your sacrifice, no deeper connection because of what you gave. Once you convince a people that inheritance, lineage, and posterity mean nothing, you’ve weakened one of the oldest reasons men sacrifice for a future they’ll never live to see. That is fertile ground for any system that wants loyalty transferred from family and inheritance to the state.

Infinitely worse than any other death at the hands of law enforcement that I've ever heard of. Far worse than George Floyd. Queen City news has all the shocking details: qcnews.com/news/investigatio…
Death of White inmate, found "tortured" to death in the Black-run Chesterfield, SC, county jail, is finally ruled a homicide after two months. Gary Blair, told family he was being intentionally starved. Then his dehydration and emaciated corpse was found in a cell with the water shut off, and feces everywhere. He lost 100 pounds in five months. Jail Administrator Troy Ellerbe was fired five days after Blair was found dead.

Next time someone mentions reparations point them to this excellent video by historian Thomas Fitzgerald. Obviously he can't tackle the whole history of slavery in 3 minutes but he puts African slavery into perspective.

Game wardens will ruin your life for a fish that’s an inch too small but won’t say shit when Indians pull up 10x the quota. The law only applies to White men. Get used to it.
100 years of conservation. Wiped out in 10. Appalachian families harvested ginseng since Daniel Boone. Illegal aliens stripped the mountainsides clean. Every plant. Non-sustainable. I documented it in 2012. They blocked the paper. “Too controversial.”

There is no serious party, just so we’re clear. If you think Trump is bad and ridiculous, then fine, whatever, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just telling you that there is no serious alternative. You might as well pick the people who don’t hate you.
This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S. I’m proud to have signed onto @RepPressley ‘s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.
Community note
While the letter cites 10 hanging cases in 2026, local law enforcement and medical examiners have ruled the majority as suicides, including the cases of Juliana Nzita and Kyle Bassinga. Only one case is currently being investigated as a homicide. charlotteobserver.com/news/local/art… people.com/death-of-black…
