Graham Platner doesn't just have a Nazi tattoo. For 18 years, he had a tattoo of the concentration camp guards on his chest, and he knew what it was."

It's crazy that this is happening in 2026. The thought police are alive and well in Paris.

Farewell to Paris

Day before yesterday I spent the afternoon autographing French translations of my books in what is called an identitarian bookstore, filled exclusively with titles of the kind Amazon loves to ban and that would never be displayed in an American bookstore. If there were such a store in, say, Chicago or New York City, antifa would break the windows, cover the place in graffiti, and even attack customers. I spent three very pleasant hours signing copies of my books and chatting with people kind enough to say that my writing had been an inspiration to them.

Yesterday, however, I experienced something equally unlikely in the United States. A group of identitarians called Les Natifs (the natives) had arranged a talk for me. The event had been advertised discreetly on social media, but the police became aware of it and contacted the head of the group to say that it was forbidden to hold the meeting within the city limits of Paris. The Natives arranged at a moment's notice to move the meeting to the nearby town of Versailles. We all gathered there and I had just been introduced and was beginning my talk, when the police burst in and explained that it was an illegal meeting and that we were to disperse. The officer in charge handed me a lengthy document listing the grounds on which the meeting had been declared illegal. Ironically, one of those grounds was the famous French Declaration of the Rights of Man. Apparently it does not apply to the white man, certainly not if he is defending his right to remain master in his own home. The document went on to explain that given my past statements, it was likely that by speaking in Versailles, I would fall afoul of hate speech laws and by so doing disturb the public order. By silencing me in advance, the French state was protecting me from the possibility of arrest and deportation. I'm grateful to these officers of the French Republic for their kind consideration.

I lived in Paris as a student, and I'm still very fond of the city despite the Great Replacement that has transformed vast parts of it. I look forward, someday, to returning under more welcoming circumstances.

On a more serious note, all orthodoxies lash out most viciously as they die, and the orthodoxy of egalitarianism and dispossession is dying before our eyes. The French State loses legitimacy with every act of repression and censorship.

Comrades, whatever your nationality, wherever you live, the fight goes on, from strength to strength. We have the right to be us, and only we can be us!

@gopTODD I’ll be hated.

The key to understanding all this is to understand that "our democracy" doesn't mean the consent of the governed.

It means that power is, in principle, open to everyone... even psychos like Reid Hoffman.

NGOs and those foundation games ARE "democracy" to a very large elite class. That's why any swamp-draining is authoritarian.

@davidjsmith1232 They added a triangle. 🤷‍♂️

I'm for multiethnicity for the US, I am not for multiculturalism.
Keep France culturally French. Keep Brazil Brazilian. Keep Ethiopia Ethiopian. Keep India Indian. Keep the US American. It's okay and beautifully we have different cultures. We don't need to blend them or import them or export them. They just need to be what they are.

In honor fo the 250th celebrations, today, I'm celebrating the Bill of Rights.
The bill of rights injected individual liberties into the constitution. These were a counter balance to the governmental powers formalized in the constitution. Like the constitution, these were heavily negotiated - some even thought they were unnecessary. Without these, I’m willing to bet we would have had another continental congress or another revolution. Today, we still argue about the scope of these protections but we don’t argue about their necessity (except for the second, more on that one later this month).
In my mind, the frst amendment is still the most important. Today, there are many modern countries that don’t have strong protection for freedom of speech or press. Sadly, during COVID we saw our government interfere. Happily, that seems to have been righted.
The second amendment is controversial and only a few countries have something similar, but none have anything as broad.
The fourth amendment is rare. It protects us from facing a police. Many other progressive countries do not have something similar to the Fourth Amendment.
The fifth through eighth recognize various important legal rights that all of us take for granted.
I wish the ninth and tenth amendments were given more weight today. I fear our federal government has too much power even though it has much less than most others.

Hear, hear for the bill of rights!

Thanks, Father Lehi!

13 O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep, yea, even from the sleep of hell, and shake off the awful chains by which ye are bound, which are the chains which bind the children of men, that they are carried away captive down to the eternal gulf of misery and woe.

14 Awake! and arise from the dust, and hear the words of a trembling parent, whose limbs ye must soon lay down in the cold and silent grave, from whence no traveler can return; a few more days and I go the way of all the earth.

Gov. Spencer Cox declared June "Fidelity Month in Utah."

In his declaration, Cox said that American support for traditional values has "significantly declined."

"A majority of Americans no longer esteem values like faith, family, patriotism or community involvement," he continued.

He said it is "imperitive" that Utah's "recommit" themselves to the pursuit of fidelity, defined as "dedication to faith, family and country." https://t.co/PBXWas9WHs

@RichardCisneroe @Kimberlyrja8 I guess you'll have 4 more years with a democrat. Sometimes baby steps are enough. I'd rather have someone in office I agree with 70% of the time rather than someone I agree with 30% of the time.

This is why I appreciate trump: candor! He doesn't try to hide anything. He just tells it how it is.
