Hey @grok, why don't schools teach that only 1.3% of Americans owned slaves at the peak of slavery, only 4% of transatlantic slavery made it to the USA, 100% of African slaves were enslaved by Africans and over 1 million White Europeans were enslaved in Africa and the Middle East.

I get tired of Democrats claiming to be on the “right side of history” when both their past and their present are so utterly sordid and destructive. So, if you are a Democrat, let me tell you about MY side of history and YOUR side of history.

My side of history is the rockets’ red glare.  Your side of history is imagine no religion.

My side of history is firefighters going up the stairs into the Twin Towers.  Your side of history is 28-year-old men playing Call of Duty in their mothers’ basements.

My side of history is Mel Brooks.  Your side of history is Amy Schumer.

My side of history is the Kentucky Rifle, the Springfield 1861, the M1911, the M1 Garand, the M14 and the AR15.  Your side of history is whimpering submission.

My side of history is Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, Apollo 11 and Jonas Salk.  Your side of history is “global warming,” 100+ genders and porous cloth masks stopping viruses.

My side is of history is laughing babies.  Your side of history is selling aborted baby parts on the open market.

My side of history is the Sistine Chapel and Monet’s water lilies.  Your side of history is an inverted crucifix in a bottle of urine.

My side of history is construction.  Your side of history is deconstruction.

My side of history is civilization.  Your side of history is nihilism.

And, MOST OF ALL:

My side of history is liberty.  Your side of history is tyranny.

Hello Senator....

This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say .

"Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary."

That is quite an achievement.

In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress.

It has been a long time since you held a private sector job.

AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot.

During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike.

And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector.

You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged.

But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are.

We would never know otherwise.

After 7 decades of "civil rights" activism, we have a huge black population that believes murder ought to be legal if against a white person.

Black students ought to pretend to be white on college applications, since we are said to live in a "white supremacist" society. Strangely, they do not.

That's because the truth is this: white people, in the 7 decades since the civil rights movement, crippled their own children with preferential policies that favored much less qualified black applicants in schooling and employment.

Any qualification that blacks couldn't meet at the same rate as whites had to be thrown out (or you bankrupt yourself in court by trying to show, with a team of vulture lawyers after you, that the requirement was absolutely necessary).

Countless jurisdictions have had to throw out entry exams entirely after no amount of dumbing them down could get enough black students to pass them.

The campaign against "gifted and talented" programs, meanwhile, has been driven partly by the "disparate impact" doctrine.

You've heard some of the news items. Seattle phased out its "highly capable cohort" (separate accelerated classes/schools) starting around 2021-2022, and aimed for full phase-out by 2027-2028 (with some delays). The rationale? Addressing "historical inequity" and overrepresentation of white and Asian students.

Your student can't have those programs because we've decided there are too many people in them who look like him.

Rockville Centre, New York, has long moved away from gifted tracking toward mixed-ability classes. San Francisco Unified delayed Algebra I and eliminated honors/gifted math tracks for "equity" purposes. We could go on and on.

Even though some of America's most politically "progressive" people are in education, and despite repeated and aggressive (and expensive) efforts across the country, no school district anywhere in America, no matter how progressive, has ever managed to eliminate the black-white educational achievement gap, which by 12th grade is estimated as a four-year difference.

And vastly fewer black students percentage-wise choose to take advanced-placement classes even in school systems in which such classes are open to anyone.

Given that nobody anywhere has been able to solve this problem, why, apart from hatred and spite, should bright students be singled out to be deprived of a program that benefits them?

The disparities are evident even at the very beginning of the educational process. The National Center for Educational Statistics found that blacks entering kindergarten we're already disproportionately testing in the bottom, quarter of students in reading, math, and general knowledge.

Behavioral differences are also evident that early, and they persist to the future. On average, black students are much less likely than whites to be described by kindergarten teachers as a tentative, eager to learn, and persistent in carrying out assigned tasks, and they are more likely to be described as argumentative, quick tempered, and violent.

These discipline disparities persist over time. Later in life blacks are 2 1/2 times as likely to be suspended or expelled from school as whites.

Faced with statistics, like these, so-called civil rights groups, typically accuse white teachers of arbitrarily, singling out blacks for punishment. To the contrary, black teachers have been found to be even more critical of black students than white teachers are.

Moreover, Asian students are less than half as likely as whites to be suspended or expelled, and it is unreasonable to ask us to believe that an anti-white, pro-Asian bias permeates the American educational system.

And educational disparities between the races persist even when social class is taken into account, so that comfortable explanation doesn't work.

The crime statistics tell us everything: if you based your opinions on TV or the movies, you would think the big problem in America is white-on-black violence. In fact, the reality is so overwhelmingly the opposite that most people would be shocked to learn the real numbers.

Per 10,000 whites, 3.4 violent crimes are committed against blacks. Per 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed against whites.

As time has gone on, special accommodations for blacks, and disabilities placed on whites, have only grown more intense.

In 2023 the percentage of white men in tenure-track faculty positions at Harvard declined from 39 percent in 2014 to 18 percent. That doesn't happen by accident.

Oh, who cares about Harvard faculty, some will say.

But it reflects a society-wide problem. Here are some other numbers we now know, that also incorporate the anti-male bias in hiring:

TV/Hollywood Writers: White men comprised roughly 48% of lower-level TV writers in 2011, dropping to 11.9% by 2024.

Medical school matriculants: White men accounted for 31% in 2014, declining to 20.5% in 2025.

The Atlantic staff: In 2013: 53% male / 89% white; by 2024: 36% male / 66% white.

University faculty hiring (tenure-track): At UC Berkeley, white men comprised 52.7% of new tenure-track faculty hires in 2015, dropping to 21.5% in 2023.

Humanities/social sciences faculty hires: UC Irvine hired 64 tenure-track assistant professors in humanities and social sciences since 2020 — only 3 (4.7%) were white men.

At UC Santa Cruz, of 59 assistant professors in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (2020–2024), only 2 (3%) were white men.

Law school matriculants: White men accounted for 31.2% of law school matriculants in 2016, falling to 25.7% in 2024.

Corporate/tech entry- and mid-level (specifically Amazon): Entry-level “professionals” (college graduates) were 42.3% white male in 2014. By 2024, mid-level managers had fallen from 55.8% white male in 2014 to 33.8% (nearly 40% decline).

Tech workforce (specifically Google): White men represented nearly 50% of the workforce in 2014, dropping to less than one-third by 2024 (a roughly 34% relative decline).

Four years ago a survey of a thousand hiring managers in the United States came out that showed 16 percent of such managers had been expressly told to stop hiring white men.

Further, 48 percent of hiring managers say they have been instructed to prioritize "diversity" over merit, and 53% believe they will lose their jobs if they don’t hire accordingly.

All across the country there are special programs, of every shape and size, for minority applicants. If you had any idea of the scale of it, you would be shocked -- no matter how much you think you know about the subject.

Instead of the kind of gratitude you might expect from people who have benefited from the most systematic effort in any society to assist a minority group -- I haven't even mentioned the literal trillions in wealth redistribution -- it is never enough, and the recipients will scream "RACIST" in your face even for pointing any of this out.

We can hope that the Karmelo Anthony case accelerates the coming of the day when whites say: we have done everything humanly possible for you, and received only hatred and ingratitude in return. You are on your own now.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

You are an American because you are allowed to exist as an individual.

Most of the world is collective by default. People are born into tribe, sect, class, religion, or party, and they never truly leave it.

Loyalty comes before truth, belonging comes before belief. To step outside the collective is seen as betrayal.

That is why people dream of America.

They are not fleeing poverty alone, they are fleeing absorption. They are fleeing systems where the group owns the person, where deviation is punished, and where the price of security is silence.

In America a society built on the idea that you exist before the group does. That your conscience is not leased to a higher collective purpose.

Collectivism promises more money, protection, belonging, warmth. But the exchange is never equal.

What it takes from you is who you are, your independence of mind, your right to stand alone, your ability to say “no” without being erased or punished.

Collective systems can't tolerate that idea. They survive by conformity, not truth. They need people who repeat, not people who think.

That is why collectivism moralizes dependency and pathologizes independence. The individual becomes selfish, antisocial, disruptive, anything except sovereign.

America was meant to be free, and freedom is cold. It requires responsibility, risk, failure, standing alone without guarantees.

That is why collectivist ideologies despise it, and why they constantly try to soften it, dilute it, or replace it with managed dependency.

Once you accept that the collective owes you comfort, it will soon decide that you owe it obedience.

This is the trade every collectivist system makes.

You must fight to remain an individual because once individualism is gone, it never returns peacefully.

They want you to abandon the very thing that made you society desirable to the rest of the world, to submit to “community” as a moral authority.

But the world does not admire collectives. It escapes them.

If America forgets that it was built for individuals, not managed populations, it will become just another place people dream of leaving.

@JohnCornyn Yes. Yes, you are. You sold out your constituents and the entire county.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Dear Senator Cornyn,

I approached you respectfully at the airport, extending my hand & introducing myself.

We were at the ticket gate with literally dozens of witnesses — passengers inches away.

Despite a quib reply back from you, I kept things professional & focused on the SAVE America Act.

While I respect that you say you want to ensure wins this November, I speak for millions when I say that voters will be more likely to vote upon the passage of the SAVE America Act.

Voters see what’s happening in California & wonder why our Senate isn’t doing everything in its power to secure our elections.

Did you know that former Congresswoman Michelle Steel (R-CA) lost by 653 votes in 2024? Did you know that former Congressman John Duarte (R-CA) lost by 187 votes?

I have no doubt that the SAVE America Act would have prevented these losses.

Why are we normalizing an expectation for California to count votes for weeks after Election Day — like Spencer Pratt’s election.

In North Carolina, the State Board of Elections found 34,000 dead voters on the voter rolls — fact-check me. (CC: Senator Tillis)

How can Americans have confidence in our elections & how are Americans going to be inspired to vote if you don’t legislate as the majority?

Last — & I mean this with the utmost of respect — for the $150 million that was spent on the Texas Senate primary/runoff,

we could have built massive voter registration/get out the vote operations in every single swing state.

While I understand it might be difficult to contemplate an American citizen doing this work because it’s the right thing to do, I’m proud to say that I don’t take PAC $ — not even from my own organization.

I can’t be bought, which frustrates the political establishment.

My one singular mission is doing right by the American people and delivering legislative wins that the popular vote delivered in 2024.

I’m on the way to the Texas GOP Convention to help ensure all of our Republican candidates win this November — I hope you’ll do the same.

I hope you’ll do the right thing & encourage your colleagues to pass the SAVE America Act — let’s win big.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

A neighbour heard a girl scream and called the police.

Officers found a 13-year-old at 3 a.m., clothing disrupted, in a house with a group of men who had given her vodka.

The men were not questioned.
The girl was arrested — for being drunk and disorderly.

This is not a rumour. It is in the Jay Report, and it was put to South Yorkshire's chief constable in Parliament.

Another case: a 12-year-old found in a car with a 22-year-old man who had indecent images of her on his phone. No action taken.

The British state had handcuffs that night.
It used them on the child.

What does a justice system call itself when the victim gets a criminal record and the abuser keeps his taxi licence?

[Hunter Ash @ArtemisConsort]

Re: Karmelo Anthony and his defenders:

Obviously there is some blind black tribal loyalty involved, but I think there’s something else and arguably worse.

The facts seem to be this: Karmelo invaded another track team’s tent. He did this to assert dominance. When asked to leave, he issued threats: “touch me and see what happens.” After repeatedly telling him that he was not welcome, and in response to provocation, Austin Metcalf pushed him, trying to get him to comply with basic social norms. Karmelo, no doubt delighted that he had now received permission for escalation under his own code, stabbed Austin to death.

The black defenders of Karmelo believe this is how society should operate: an endless war of all against all to assert dominance, escalating when one’s assertions are rebuffed. They’re mad that the justice system got involved, because in their minds this is the proper way to conduct business: omnipresent dominance signaling, inevitably leading to violence.

They genuinely don’t understand that other people don’t operate according to those rules. And they certainly don’t understand that our rules, by drastically reducing friction and needless cost, are the very reason for the disparities in group power they complain about. We are polite internally and can thus exert greater collective power externally. A few Karmelos in the mix destroys this system.

But they don’t care that running things their way would be the end of civilization, the end of their cell phones and EBT and air conditioning, because they don’t understand it. They don’t understand anything about the modern world. They are lost here, confused. This state of affairs is not sustainable.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

British people on X keep telling us they cannot speak freely.

That saying the truth about mass immigration and crime will get them arrested, fired, or labeled for life.

That is exactly why Japanese accounts have to say it out loud.

Your country is being fundamentally changed against the clear will of the native population.
Your children are paying the highest price.
Your police protect the perpetrators more than the victims.

We in Japan see it clearly.
And we are asking — how much more are you willing to lose before you decide that your children’s future matters more than being called names?

The window is closing. Fast.
