The foreign born population is the highest it has ever been in the history of the country, both in total number and as share of the whole. Ever. Surpassing even the Ellis Island wave. We are in uncharted water. The last time we approached these levels, we stopped immigration cold for roughly 4 decades, and only by virtue of intense assimilation pressure––not to mention an existing dominant Anglo Protestant culture into which these new arrivals could be assimilated––plus the crucible of World War 2, did this eventually resolve itself. People who think our current circumstances can just be hand-waved away, or that anyone describing the trade-offs of mass immigration are moral degenerates and therefore beneath concern, are completely delusional. This is an issue that must be addressed head-on.

Growing up, my dad rarely napped. But if he ended up snoozing on the sofa…old man with his head back, mouth open… my mom became an absolute tyrant about silence. She made sure we understood “he works very hard for us. If he’s sleeping, he needs it.” I always thought that was so touching and sweet. Men work hard, they deserve rest. I don’t actually understand how you become this spiteful and gross about someone you love. The modern woman’s understanding of love seems to be only self-focused, self-serving. That is tragic and ugly. Love is a giving thing, it asks for nothing in return. We’ve instead taught women to demand and take. … Also, her lip filler is atrocious. Unless that’s just her lips? Whatever it is…
Another woman who hates her husband. This wife goes on a psychotic rant because her husband sometimes takes naps after working hard. She admits she had no issue with her Cuban father taking naps because he called them "siestas."

I hate the checkout song and dance I feel I have to do explaining why I’m not going to ‘Round Up for Cancer’ to a high 17 year old kid.

These new Texas fans are not ready for primetime CFB shit-talking.
If you look at a crowd of diverse Texas students celebrating together and see a “problem,” the problem isn’t the students. This is what Texas looks like. And if you don’t like it, you can leave.

The defining political question of our time is whether the United States of America is a nation that exists for the benefit of her people, or an economic zone and welfare machine that exists for the benefit of everyone else.

When people see a Texas stadium full of Indian fans and comment on how dramatically the demographics have changed, screaming “racist” avoids the actual issue. They’re reacting to 20 years of an immigration and employment pipeline heavily concentrated among Indian nationals, alongside repeated concerns about H-1B/OPT abuse, staffing firms, fraud, and closed hiring networks. That doesn’t make every Indian responsible. But pretending people aren’t noticing a real pattern is how you make the resentment worse.

This is going to be a long week after that Saturday of college football and NFL. Like when the appetizers come out fast but the entree takes forever.

High socioeconomic status men will always like their girls skinner. Where broke men like them curvy or “thicc”. See the figure. High-resource men (open squares + solid line) rated women most attractive at around 20 BMI, then dropped. Lower-resource men (filled circles + dashed line) kept rating women attractive from around 25–40 BMI. That’s huge.
You can very easily tell a man’s socioeconomic status by his taste in women.
Community note
The figure is from Tovée et al. (2006) comparing attractiveness ratings by UK Caucasian observers (open squares) vs. rural South African Zulu observers (filled circles), not high- vs. low-SES men. doi.org/10.1016/j.evol… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There is something very important happening right now. For 50 years, the United States has given security assurances to the Arab OPEC nations, and in exchange, they’ve almost exclusively sold oil in the U.S. dollar—this is the “petrodollar” that you’ve heard about. This arrangement is also, in large part, one of the many reasons Trump is currently destroying the Iranian regime: the Arab OPEC nations were getting concerned with the Iranian regime’s arms buildup. In May 2025, Trump made his now-famous trip to the Middle East and secured some $2 trillion in deals and investment commitments. One month later, in June 2025, Trump sent B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to blow up three Iranian nuclear sites. These events are not unrelated. The situation with Iran is incredibly complex, but one undeniable component is that there is an ongoing quid pro quo with the Arab OPEC nations. Have you ever wondered why all of the Arab OPEC nations have allowed the United States to conduct military operations against Iran from inside their territory? It’s because they all want to see the Iranian regime get decimated. Now, at the same time, the Trump Administration has made very clear that it wants the United States to conduct a long-term withdrawal from the Middle East, handing off day-to-day operational control to our regional allies. In fact, if you don’t believe me, I’d suggest you read the 33-page 2025 National Security Strategy and the 34-page Department of War National Defense Strategy. Both were released by the Trump Administration in the last 12 months. However, in order to conduct this Middle Eastern withdrawal, two massive goals must be accomplished: 1) the Iranian regime’s capacity to project power must be destroyed, and 2) the United States’ reliance on the Arab OPEC nations’ adherence to the U.S. dollar must be lessened. And this is why Trump’s play in Venezuela is so monumental. If Trump can unleash American energy production while simultaneously unlocking Venezuela’s oil reserves, OPEC loses almost all of its strategic value, and the United States is one massive step closer to untethering from the Middle East. What we are witnessing right now is the Trump Administration's multi-step plan to escape the sandbox and, ultimately, put an end to the Global War on Terror era of American foreign policy. It's ironic, because it's become increasingly popular to call Trump a "neo-con" who's looking to kick-start another War on Terror, but in reality, quite literally the exact opposite is true.
🇻🇪 Venezuela, one of OPEC’s five founding members, is considering leaving the organization An exit would let Caracas raise oil production without OPEC quotas and give Washington a larger role in Venezuela’s oil sector, including a possible 100-year lease of several fields. The idea was discussed in recent talks with the United States, but no decision has been made. Trump has long criticized OPEC’s effect on U.S. fuel prices. Experts warn that further departures, after the UAE’s exit in May and Iraq’s hints in June, could weaken OPEC’s unity and even trigger a price war. 📰 Bloomberg

For men, everyone will eventually abandon you if you fail..there is no forever in your life. We need to offer and hand, support, mentorship with each other. We need to revitalize the brotherhood that recent generations have abandoned and give over to the women in our lives.

My company had been exploring moving all engineering jobs offshore. I’m all in favor of revoking visas and H1Bs, but how do we prevent a massive tech offshoring movement?

The most ungrateful women to ever walk this earth are WHITE women. Period. Your men are the most desired men on the entire planet. The most successful. The most romantic. The most caring. The most family oriented. They put their women FIRST above every other race of men and women on earth. And yet YOU are the ones who complain the loudest about childcare, equality, postpartum, oppression. When a Black woman, an Asian woman, an Indian woman, an African woman gets one of your men, she knows she won the lottery. She holds on tight. She wants to give him lots of children. She wants to build a home. She knows his value. You have TOTAL power over your men. Your favorite weapon is 911 because you know he will come running to protect you. You have the most support in marriage, the most support in childcare, the most money, the lowest rate of single motherhood and yet you are still the ones killing your own children the most and crying about healthcare when you are literally the most likely to survive childbirth and revive the best healthcare than any other race because your man will tear that hospital apart if they play with you. Your men conquered a whole continent. Built empires. Built the most powerful nations on earth. And gave it all to you. Wrapped it in privilege. Handed you freedom, safety, money, and power that no other women in history have ever had. And after 400 years of that privilege, you still have the audacity to call them your oppressors. No race of women has ever been given so much and appreciated it so little.
What opinion will get you in this position?

Deshaun Watson / Shedeur Sanders will be a continual drama all year, but one with less racial toxicity for the Browns. Then they can wash their hands clean of this and draft a functional quarterback in 2027.
