Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński has a clear message for Arab migrants from Syria: “The war is over. Go home.”
His comments come after many Syrians in Europe fiercely opposed the revocation of their residence permits. These are the same “refugees” who support the new Syrian jihadist regime and, in many cases, backed ISIS.
Years after the war, large numbers have still failed to integrate. They have not learned the local language, have not found work, and have refused to adopt Western values or the culture of their host countries. Instead, they live on welfare at the expense of European taxpayers.
Tarczyński is right. Europe must stop surrendering. These migrants should return to Syria and rebuild their own country — because they have clearly failed to become independent, productive citizens in Europe.
Do you agree with him? Yes or no?
Today, Belgian police blocked me — a sitting Member of the European Parliament — from entering the European Parliament for nearly an hour.
They were on the phone with Brussels Mayor Philippe Close, who was personally directing their actions. We have video footage of the incident.
The Mayor prevented me from delivering over half a million European citizens’ signatures for the @SaveEuropeAct initiative.
This is unacceptable.
The EU is a union of 27 member states. No single country — and certainly not one socialist mayor of a single city — has the right to decide which MEPs from other nations can carry out their democratic duties.
My team and I will launch a formal investigation into the mayor’s conduct.
Gone with the Wind is the greatest American novel about loss – and the most honest portrait ever written of what it means to watch a civilization burn and decide to survive it anyway.
1. The Old South that opens the film is not presented as just. It doesn’t need to be. It is presented as a world — complete, self-contained, possessed of its own beauty and its own codes — and the film’s real subject is what it feels like to watch a world end. Every civilization that has ever collapsed was, to the people inside it, simply home. That is the thing comfortable posterity always forgets when it judges from a safe distance.
2. Scarlett O’Hara is not a feminist icon. She is something more interesting and more uncomfortable: a human being stripped of every comfort and illusion, possessed of a survival instinct so fierce it overrides everything else including her own happiness. She is vain, ruthless, self-deceiving, and magnificent. She does not survive because she is good. She survives because she refuses not to. The distinction matters.
3. Rhett Butler is the Machiavellian realist in a world of romantics. He sees the war clearly from the start – knows the South will lose, knows the cause is already dead, knows the men riding off heroically are riding to their graves. He says so, repeatedly, and is despised for it. The man who tells the truth in a civilization built on illusion is always the villain. Until the illusion collapses. Then he is simply the only one who was right.
4. Ashley Wilkes is the figure nobody discusses and everyone should. He is the Old South’s Last Man – beautiful, cultivated, honourable, and completely incapable of functioning in the world that replaces the one he was built for. He cannot adapt. He cannot rebuild. He can only mourn. Every civilization in decline produces Ashley Wilkes by the thousand – men perfectly formed for a world that no longer exists, grieving too elegantly to build the next one.
5. “As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again.” The most important line in the film is not a love declaration or a battle cry. It is a woman alone in a destroyed field, eating a raw turnip, making a covenant with herself. This is the survival instinct as civilizational force – the thing that plants next year’s crop in the ashes of this year’s harvest. It is not pretty. It is not ideologically convenient. It is why civilizations continue.
6. The burning of Atlanta is not a backdrop. It is the argument. We watch an entire world end in real time – not just buildings but assumptions, codes, the complete architecture of a society’s self-understanding. The film doesn’t judge it. It shows what it cost. That is a more serious act than judgment.
7. “Tomorrow is another day.” Not optimism – something harder. The refusal to let the present moment be final. Scarlett has lost everything: the war, the plantation, Ashley, Melanie, Rhett, her own illusions. She chooses to continue. Not because things will get better but because stopping is not in her. This is not a Hollywood ending. It is the oldest human response to catastrophe – the one that produced every civilization that ever rose from ruins.
.@elonmusk Agreed.
The “tolerance” we’re often demanded to practice today is not the classical liberal version—live and let live, with reciprocal respect for individual rights—but a one-way ratchet: tolerance for illiberal ideologies, parallel societies, demographic replacement without assimilation, and active hostility toward the Enlightenment values that built the West (free speech, reason, merit, secular governance, due process).
Karl Popper framed this clearly in The Open Society and Its Enemies: unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. We must claim the right to suppress, by argument and if necessary by force, intolerant philosophies that refuse to reciprocate. A society that can’t draw that line will eventually be ruled by those who won’t tolerate it.
Western civilization isn’t a suicide pact. It produced unprecedented prosperity, liberty, and scientific progress precisely because it prioritized truth over dogma, individuals over collectives, and open inquiry over enforced piety. Pretending every culture or ideology is equally compatible with that track record isn’t compassion—it’s historical illiteracy dressed up as virtue.
The practical implication isn’t cruelty or blanket exclusion. It’s simple consistency: enforce the same standards for everyone. Assimilate or don’t stay. Debate ideas fiercely but protect the Overton window that allows debate in the first place. Prioritize citizens and the civilization that sustains them.
Tolerance of the tolerant. Intolerance of the intolerant. Anything less is managed decline.
Elon Musk: I'm very worried about this.
The actions of the West are basically indistinguishable from suicide.
America still has a general sense of optimism. But when’s the last time you talked to someone living in Europe who’s actually optimistic about the future? It’s rare.
Having a child is one of the most optimistic acts a person can take. If people don’t believe the future will be better, they won’t have kids.
We need to restore real optimism and excitement about what’s ahead. I believe the future will be better than the past and that will make people want to have children again.
@multiplanet1 Yes … sometimes we learn things the hardest way but when we learn we grow stronger with clarity ( so I’m told ) not to sure if that’s true ?
Elon Musk showed up to his own birthday party in 2008 and nobody was there. He had invited friends. Most of them had stopped returning his calls because he had borrowed money from nearly everyone he knew and the companies were failing publicly.
His brother Kimbal was the only one who came. They sat together in an almost empty room and Elon said something Kimbal has never forgotten. He said "I think I used up all my goodwill." Not dramatically. Factually. Like he was reading a balance sheet of human relationships and the number had hit zero.
This was the man who had made his friends millionaires from PayPal. The same people who became wealthy because of him were now avoiding his calls because his new ventures looked like they were going to fail. The loyalty evaporated at exactly the same speed as the bank balance.
Kimbal said Elon didn't seem angry about it. He seemed like a man confirming something he had always suspected. That most relationships are transactional and the transaction was no longer favorable.
The loneliest birthday in Silicon Valley history happened to a man who had made more people rich than almost anyone in the room. And the lesson it taught him about loyalty and isolation is visible in every decision he has made since.
He stopped expecting people to stay. He started expecting them to leave. And he built everything after that accordingly.
BTW PEOPLE
The little story Albanese told today, how at his first job at the Commonwealth Bank he explained & converted people to using ATM's and wasn't that fabulous technology back then, we are supposed to be impressed, the only small problem is some facts, Albanese went to the Bank in 1980 he was there for 9 months, The CBA. installed their first ATM in late 1981
Facts Matter!
Albanese can never be trusted, Crayfish Albanese
A head full of shit!
🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk is calling on France to elect right-wing MARINE LE PEN after she was given the greenlight by a court to run for President
MUSK: "She is France’s last hope."
MAKE IT HAPPEN, FRANCE! Take back your country and start deporting them all 🇺🇸🇫🇷
Time to make FRANCE, FRANCE again.
It’s not about religion or race.
It’s about whether Australia can keep limping along under the current political class and their policies.
A Sky News/YouGov poll out today shows 51% of Australians now believe the country is weaker and poorer than when Albanese won his supermajority in 2025.
GDP per capita is flat.
The only “growth” is from record population increases driven by high net overseas migration around 310,000 for the year to June 2026. That’s three quarters of our total population growth, while housing construction can’t keep up and vacancy rates have crashed to 0.7%.
We’re bringing in hundreds of thousands more people a year while young Aussies can’t afford a home, rents are through the roof, and hospitals and infrastructure are already stretched. Productivity is dead flat. Real living standards for battlers are going backwards. Energy prices keep climbing as reliable power gets replaced with intermittent renewables and we shut down coal and gas too fast.
Both sides of politics have played their part over decades, the Lima Accord, tariff cuts, one FTA after another that sent manufacturing offshore. But this current mob doubled down on the same approach and made it worse.
How long can it last?
The country itself won’t collapse tomorrow.
We’ve still got the resources and the base. But the Australia our kids and grandkids inherit affordable housing, decent jobs, reliable services, and a fair go is already eroding fast for ordinary people.
The long game of gradual policy failure has delivered this.
The question isn’t if the system survives. It’s how much more damage we’re willing to cop before we force a complete reset.
I will say it again for the last time:
@HonTonyAbbott@AngusTaylorMP We have the most corrupt inept criminal government in the process of rigging the state and federal elections and transferring billions of dollars of taxpayer wealth to themselves and mates and you dickheads cant lay a finger on them. You squabble amongst yourselves and do nothing. The corruption is so blatant its shocking and you are doing nothing. It appears you are in partnership with ALP destroying our wonderful country.
Enough is enough. For the first time in my 76 years I wipe may hands of you fools damn fools.
