The anti-datacenter psychosis sweeping through both sides of our national politics might be the worst mass movement I've seen in my lifetime. The magnitude of lies underpinning it, the threat it poses to our economy and civilization, and the sheer scale of its popularity are totally unprecedented. It should be an enduring national shame that the country that invented the airplane, landed on the Moon, and created the Internet is descending into superstitious panic at the very moment growth matters most
Israel has never possessed the advantages normally associated with great powers. It does not have America’s continental scale, Russia’s geographic depth, China’s population, or the Gulf states’ enormous petroleum reserves.
What Israel has is its people.
That has always been its greatest resource, and the years since October 7 have demonstrated just how valuable that resource is.
Everything that directly impacts your life— affordability, safety, cultural stability— all of it is downstream from immigration.
Voting for candidates who seek open borders and abolishing enforcement is a choice to commit civilizational suicide.
This is Ctesiphon.
It was the ancient capital of Iran, a majestic and wealthy metropolis without compare.
Islamic colonisers invaded the city, massacred everyone in it, replaced its population with Arabs, and made it decline into nothing.
Today, it's a crumbling ruin in the modern failed state of Iraq, only kept standing with the help of European archeologists, because the Iraqis can't care less about preserving it.
What a tragedy.
Almost 4% of the entire German population are asylum or protection seekers, one percent of the population is Syrian, and almost 5% of all Syrians live in Germany. In the age group of under 5 year olds, over 40% have a migrant background.
This is unprecedented demographic change.
You can call it "cringe", you can call it "simping", but at the end of the day a bunch of crazy French guys managed to get the attention of the richest man in the world to build a Prometheus-statue at his rocket base to glorify Western Civilisation, and honestly that is just fucking cool.
Michigan is just 2.2% Arab, but Arab voters proved decisive. Stevens won non-Arab voters, while El-Sayed’s huge margins in Arab communities powered his victory.
He won the most Arab precincts by ~80 points, and those areas turned out above the statewide Democratic primary rate.
Elon Musk is single handedly saving America from decline. He revived their entire space industry, now he will reshore chip manufacturing. Man is a complete legend, and we are lucky to live in the same time as him.
I try to stay apolitical in my profession of war studies, I really do, but the anti-Israeli grift in American politics is sick. Even if you don't care about Israel. Have no clue about the benefits of the Israel-American relationship (there are many). Hate to hate. To see political candidates make anti-Israel one of their primary political positions, in the United States, and get votes for that, to play on ignorance about Israel, the region, the different fronts rather than real domestic issues like economy, safety, opportunity or foreign policy issues like great power competition, terrorism, energy, national security, waste/fraud/abuse in the international institutions. Rather, to play on clickbait lies rather than hard truths. It is sick and continues to put American jewish citizens, communities in danger.
Israel won its two greatest victories while under an American arms embargo. US aid to Israel was 1.3% of the Israeli budget last year. The idea Israel only survives due to foreign aid is a fantasy. Unlike a certain someone who wouldn't survive 5 minutes without foreign aid...
This is what was happening at America's borders under Joe Biden. This is what Democrats support and defend.
Never forget what they did, and what President Trump fixed on DAY ONE.
