“As even [some] leftists are starting to understand, immigration minus assimilation is an invasion, actually a form of colonialism, in which the newcomers change the host culture and, with their ‘no-go zones,’ enforce extraterritoriality.”
— The American Thinker

There is an aspect of Islam that seems to elude Trump because it is rooted in irrational and apocalyptic hopes.
This poses a problem for solving the Iran issue, and also for dealing with Islam in America.
The story in the Bible that rattled me before I converted to Christianity from Islam:
The two thieves crucified next to Jesus. I never knew about them. Bro. They’re the whole Gospel in one scene.
Two men. Same sin. Same cross. Same dying breath. Same distance from Jesus — mere feet away on either side.
One mocks Him. One turns to Him and says, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And Jesus tells the second man: “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23:43.
That man did ZERO good works. He couldn’t. His hands were nailed down. He never prayed five times. Never fasted. Never gave to the poor. Never got baptized. He had nothing to offer but a dying glance toward Jesus.
And Jesus saved him... on the spot.
In Islam, that man was doomed. No time to balance the scale. No deeds to weigh. Game over. A horrible life with a horrible punishment ahead.
I wonder if that would be me…
Yet in the Gospel, that man was in paradise the same day — because salvation was never about his works. It was about WHO he turned to in his last moment.
Two criminals. Same cross. One simple difference: which one turned to Jesus.
That’s why the Gospel is offensive.
And Jesus asks everyone: who do you say I am?
WOAH 🚨 Homeless women living on Skid Row in Los Angeles says someone came and had her fill out a ballot for Karen Bass
They told her who to vote for and then paid her $2 for the vote
She says “they come out here all the time” to get votes for Democrats
“They told you to vote for Karen?”
“Yeah, had to sign a little thing”
“And how much they pay you?”
“Just like $2”
“$2 to sign off on a thing to vote for her?”
“Yeah. All right, so they do this for everybody out here?”
“Yeah, they come out here all the time.”
This is exactly what James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been exposing
Democrats have a massive voter fraud network in California
CALIFORNIA VOTE IS RIGGED 🚨 Voters were rejecting a new sales tax increase in Los Angeles County but because of a ‘surge with late mail in ballots’ the sales tax increase PASSED
The same late mail in ballots that pushed Nithya Raman ahead of Spencer Pratt also pushed through Democrat’s sales tax increase
“I'm going to talk about one of the strangest results in the LA County — sales tax increase that will take the sales tax in Los Angeles County from a very high 9.75% to the almost unthinkable 10.25%, one of the highest in the country. Why did this happen? — Initially, it looked like Measure ER, the tax increase, was going to fail, but with late ballots coming in, especially for Nithya Raman, the tax increase passed.”
I found this new sales tax increase is expected to take a BILLION dollars per year from residents.
Again, they were rejecting it. But Democrats forged it through with mail in ballots
Can white males now hope for equal treatment under the law? That possibility became a step closer to reality with the Justice Department’s opinion yesterday that traditional disparate impact doctrine is unconstitutional.
No longer will colorblind, meritocratic standards be deemed racist if blacks perform more poorly than whites under them. As long as yesterday’s Justice Department opinion remains in place, police departments will be able to require, without worrying about being sued, that recruits have the ability to read a Patrol Guide. State education departments will be able to require teacher candidates to show elementary knowledge of math and spelling. Medical schools will have no more excuse for wildly different standards of admission for black and white applicants; the medical licensing exam will have no more excuse for jettisoning grades in favor of a watered-down pass-fail system.
But it is too soon to celebrate a return to excellence and to assume that merit will never again penalized as racist. The clock is ticking on the Trump administration. If Democrats retake the White House in 2028, the racial regime will come roaring back. There is still more work to be done to ensure that the race hustle is permanently discredited.

Victor Davis Hanson just dropped the single most definitive explanation for the chaos in Belfast and cities across the West.
In two minutes flat, he exposed how DEI, open borders and failure to assimilate have created a powder keg that’s now exploding.
HANSON: “It’s a reminder that DEI or racial chauvinism, ethnic chauvinism combined with open borders and mass immigration from illiberal societies is a recipe for disaster.”
“And nobody condones the counter-riots but when you bring in people from antithetical cultures and you tell them upon arrival they don’t have to acculturate, integrate or assimilate but they have grudges against their hosts because they feel that they are victimized and you lavish social entitlements upon them and you make them exempt from any consequences of their illiberal behavior, then you get what we’ve seen there.”
“We’ve got to remember, both in the United States and in Europe, especially the U.K., we’re 60 years, three generations from the civil rights acts and their versions of them.”
“So we’ve got three generations of people in their 40s 50s and 60s that grew up with reverse discrimination and they didn’t know anything about segregation or institutionalized racism.”
“All they know is that their job opportunities were curtailed because there was this new idea of equality of result.”
“Where people based on their skin color or ethnic origins or whether they were migrants or something, they had preferential treatment and yet they were paying for the sins of prior generations.”
“That’s what they felt.”
“And then finally there was a class element to it.”
“The elites crafted this system to bring in constituents dependent on state largesse but they were never subject to the consequences of our own terrible ideology because they had the money and the zip codes and the resources to protect themselves from that kind of violence that we saw.”
“They made it worse by insulting the White working class as if they are illiberal and neanderthal, when they created the conditions and they were immune from them and now they don’t know what to do because they realize it’s blowing up in their face.”
“Both there and in the United States.”
In a recent poll, 55% of Democrats said they would rather live in another country than the United States. And 74% believed that America has failed to live up to its founding ideals. But before Republicans respond with, “good riddance! I'll buy your ticket,” I don't think that's the solution here.
To an extent, I can agree that America has failed to live up to the promises our founding documents make. Martin Luther King Jr. also agreed. But instead of telling black Americans to just abandon those documents (like some wanted him to), he called them a promissory note.
He said the men who built this nation signed a promise, even if they didn’t live up to it, that EVERY SINGLE American would be guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That’s the difference compared to the squawking leftists of today. Today, it’s the documents and the foundation that are the issue. MLK could have said the same thing, but he didn’t. He refused to renounce the founding. Instead, he demanded that Washington cash the check and fulfill the promise.
Bill Maher just went so hard against Islam, it left his guests in stunned silence.
It all started when Maher recalled how people overused the term “Islamophobia” after 9/11.
He says that moment was the “beginning” of a “wokeness” that forbade you to say this out loud:
“There is such a thing as Western civilization. Remember after 9/11, if you said ‘clash of civilizations’? It was the beginning of sort of that wokeness where, ‘Oh, don’t say that. That’s Islamophobia.’”
“No, it was a clash of civilizations. The civilizations are very different, and OURS IS BETTER!”
[Guests stare at each other in silence].
Maher continued: “And if you’re not clapping, spend a week in a Muslim capital, you wouldn’t last.”
Mark it.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you will not hear a better argument for the President of the United States than those five minutes and twenty-five seconds right here:
Cut it. Mark it. Drop it in.
Are you a Leftist?
Are you a Communist?
Are you a Marxist?
Are you super Right-wing? Doesn’t matter.
You can’t disagree with that. That is the best argument you will ever hear—condensed, distilled, like proof alcohol—into why Charlie Kirk believes in this President.”

Victor Davis Hanson wasn’t asked for comfort and he didn’t offer any. A survey of American patriotism ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary found Democrat affection for America in the low double digits, independents in the low 30s, and Republicans in the high 60s. His diagnosis, asked about what drives the gap: this is what K-through-master’s-degree indoctrination produces, and it has three distinct causes.
First, ignorance. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐧’𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. They’ve been taught that American slavery was uniquely monstrous while knowing nothing about the vastly larger Muslim slave trade, the Brazilian market, or African tribal slavery that preceded the transatlantic trade. One lens, one story, zero comparison.
Second, social conformity. Jesse Watters’s street interviews tell the story: when interviewees express contempt for America and are pressed to give a single concrete example, “𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦.” They know which answer earns approval in their environment. They have no idea what they actually mean. Express anti-American sentiment on a campus or in a peer group and you signal the right tribal affiliation. Understanding is optional.
Third, parochialism. VDH calls it “snobbish” but it’s accurate: “𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢, 𝘈𝘴𝘪𝘢, 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦, 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘯? 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.” The elite anti-Israel protesters who travel to the region stay at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. They don’t go to Gaza or Lebanon. They curate outrage through the safest available lens.
His conclusion: after years of turning education into therapy and ideology, we have produced a generation that is, as he puts it, “𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵.” They feel deeply. They know nothing.

Il faut avoir l'honnêteté de reconnaître le coup de génie de la gauche, parce que c'en est un. Le plus grand hold-up rhétorique du siècle tient en un seul mot : raciste.
Voici le mécanisme.
Après 1945, après les droits civiques, l'Occident a fait du racisme le mal absolu. À juste titre : c'est une de ses plus grandes conquêtes morales. « Raciste » est devenu le mot le plus radioactif de la langue, l'excommunication moderne, la mort sociale instantanée.
Le coup de génie a été de détourner ce capital moral. Pas pour protéger des personnes : pour protéger une idéologie.
L'égalitarisme des résultats ne gagne jamais un débat sur les faits. Il produit l'inverse de ce qu'il promet, partout, à chaque fois. Alors plutôt que de gagner le débat, on a rendu le débat impayable. Tu questionnes les résultats de l'immigration sans assimilation ? Raciste. Tu défends le mérite ? Raciste. Les maths avancées ? Racistes. Les frontières ? Racistes. Le mot a cessé de décrire un comportement pour décrire une position sur l'échiquier.
Et regardez la beauté technique du dispositif. Pas besoin d'arguments : l'accusation suffit. Pas besoin de procès : la dénégation aggrave le cas (votre défensivité prouve votre culpabilité). Pas besoin de police : la peur fait le travail, chacun se surveille lui-même et surveille son voisin gratuitement. Il suffit d'exécuter publiquement quelques exemples par an pour tenir des millions de gens. Une idéologie irréfutable, protégée par un mot imprononçable. Les deux pare-feux du même système : la French Theory avait aboli la vérité, l'accusation a aboli le débat.
Est-ce qu'un comité s'est réuni pour concevoir ça ? Pas besoin. Les idées subissent une sélection darwinienne : celles qui survivent sont celles qui se défendent le mieux. Marcuse avait quand même déposé le brevet dès 1965, noir sur blanc : tolérance pour les mouvements de gauche, intolérance pour ceux de droite. Le reste a évolué tout seul. Il faut l'avouer : c'était génial.
Mais ce dispositif génial avait un coût, et le coût a un bilan. À Rotherham, le rapport officiel Jay a établi que des fonctionnaires britanniques ont laissé plus de 1 400 gamines se faire exploiter pendant seize ans, en partie par peur d'être traités de racistes s'ils nommaient les faits. Relisez cette phrase. Des enfants ont été sacrifiées à un mot. Voilà ce que veut dire idéologie mortifère : pas une métaphore, un bilan.
Et maintenant, regardez ce qui s'effondre sous nos yeux.
Une insulte ne fonctionne que si elle fait peur, et une monnaie ne fonctionne que si elle est rare. Ils ont imprimé le mot comme Weimar imprimait le mark. Quand tout est raciste, plus rien ne l'est. Résultat : des tweets qui commencent par « traitez-moi de raciste si vous voulez » récoltent des dizaines de milliers de likes et l'approbation de l'homme le plus riche du monde. Il y a dix ans, cette phrase était un suicide professionnel. Aujourd'hui, c'est un haussement d'épaules. L'hyperinflation a tué la monnaie.
Et voilà la vraie tragédie, que les faussaires devront porter : en imprimant le mot sans limite, ils l'ont brûlé pour tout le monde. Y compris pour nommer le vrai racisme quand il existe, car il existe. Les faux-monnayeurs ne détruisent pas que leur arme. Ils détruisent le mot dont une société honnête a besoin.
Privée de son mot magique, l'idéologie va maintenant devoir faire ce qu'elle n'a jamais su faire : gagner un débat sur les faits.
Elle ne le gagnera pas. Au travail.
I can’t believe this is real
Woman who works for California State Parks says they are not legally allowed to clear the brush in Los Angeles
“We're issuing a permit for the homeowners — she tells me that there's legislation saying that the California State Parks are not allowed to clear the brush — So they're quote, not allowed to clear the brush, but they're allowed to issue a permit so that homeowners can clear the brush behind their houses for 100 up to 130 feet.
So all these homes that back up to state land that isn't clear and they're at a clear danger for a wildfire aren't allowed to touch it. They have to get a permit to clear their brush and pay for it, and it's not their land”
Yes this is 100% true, California is making homeowners PAY to clear brush because Democrats passed legislation restricting it for the state
State Parks, Cal Fire, Public land restrictions say State agencies face limitations on large-scale brush clearing due to
- CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) requirements says clearing brush can require lengthy environmental reviews
- Habitat protections for rare plants, animals, or cultural resources
California law (Public Resources Code 4291) requires homeowners in high fire hazard areas to maintain defensible space of 100- 130+ of reduced vegetation around structures. When your property backs up to state land, you often need a permit to clear or thin brush on the state land side
Democrats are corrupt
