I’ve said this before, but it really is bizarre that the basic facts of the demographic transformation of our cities, one of the most consequential events of the last hundred years, are found in viral threads and other online “rabbit holes” and not history textbooks.

This is the reaction by the failed narco-state of Mexico after President Trump recently signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels that his administration has deemed terrorist organizations, according to people

In 2020 at UCLA, nearly every department had a group of grad students who bullied their peers into signing a BLM letter and then leveraged that into bullying the faculty to write one too. I refused, but most people did not, and I know several colleagues who deeply regret this.

If this trend continues, we will return to Jan 2021 numbers in 18 months or around Jan 2027. Thus, it will have taken ~2 years to reverse the Bidenwave. If this trend continues for 4 years, we will see a decline of about 17.6 million foreign-born residents.

NEW: California Democrats in Assembly this AM changed the state’s Redistricting ballot measure legislation, which basically now allows new Congressional maps to go into effect NO MATTER what other states do. Even if Texas backtracks or courts strike it down, CA would have new

Gavin Newsom is using the gerrymandering to raise money for his own campaign? Who could possibly have seen this coming? x.com/realwilloneill…

California, your governor just threw away $250+ million in taxes, as well as the independent redistricting commission so he can raise money & his profile for his presidential campaign. Vote NO on his #Gavinmandered map scheme in November.

This is all true, and also every "attack" on lib institutions that is causing 24/7 freak-outs this year is at like 10% power. The left can't even conceive that what the government giveth (to libs) the government can also taketh away (from libs)

How it started / how it's going A billionaire "anti-poverty activist" fraudulently enriched himself with a "carbon credit" scheme where companies would pay for ESG indulgences and he'd plant trees in Africa, the DOJ said. The company's financials were fake, Joe Sanberg admitted

Looks like unconstitutional gerrymandering. Hope the courts are willing to do the right thing, but I wouldn’t bet on appointees of the governor to come through for us.

During the pandemic The Atlantic demanded explicitly and by name the imposition of Chinese-style state censorship, denounced as “human sacrifice” any opening at all, and called for unvaccinated people to be put on lists. Never forget, and never permit their staff to forget.

The asylum system should be abolished entirely, it was designed for postwar Europe when many had lost everything and had to travel to safety on foot, not for a world where you can be anywhere in $500 and twelve hours
