Proverbs 18:17

[Ryan Matthew Neuhaus @RyanMNeuhaus]

I lived in Bolivia for two years. One of the cities I lived in was Cobija. One night, in Cobija, my friend and I were walking home when a Bolivian police officer got into an accident with a man that was on a motorcycle.

I ran over to try to help the man who was on the motorcycle, but I’ll never forget the officer yelling at the man about how the accident was his fault and then yelling at me for intervening.

In Bolivia, as in most third world countries, people don’t rush to help when this stuff happens. They become bystanders and observers, refusing to intervene or provide assistance. Some of the people around that night joined in on yelling at me as I called out for people to get an ambulance. One eventually made it because my friend had a phone and made the call, but it was too late.

That night, a stranger bled out and died in my arms—a foreigner—as his fellow countrymen yelled at him and watched him die.

People in the United States and across the West don’t understand the cultures and people that are being imported into our countries. The third world isn’t civilized, it’s not some wondrous place with people who have unlimited potential or hold similar worldviews to us. The third world is a dog-eat-dog world. People are literally scraping by and trying to survive. It wires people differently than the way we are wired.

As the West fails to deport the third world, it will become the third world. And mass deportations truly are the only peaceful answer if we want to stop the attempted beheadings, the rapes, the vandalism, the fraud, the homelessness, etc.

Some might find this sentiment cruel, but it’s not. What’s cruel is allowing the greatest civilization in the world, which your children and grandchildren should inherit, fall into an unrecognizable state of being.

Civilization is but a clearing in a vast and ancient forest. Every law, tradition, institution, and sacrifice exists because generations before us cut back the darkness. The forest has been trying to reclaim it ever since.

We have watches, but the wilderness has time.

It waits.

Just plugged in a 20 year iPod nano (MA489LL).

No lag. No loading indicators. UI is practically instant. No touchscreen.

I plugged in my Bose headphones and played Black Eyed Peas like 2006 was yesterday. Just fucking worked. Incredible.

Technology has gotten worse in so many ways. Younger people have no idea.

[Alice Smith @TheAliceSmith]

A woke word you need to learn:

“malinformation”

Information that is factually correct but politically damaging.

It perfectly sums up where we’re at.

[Dr Helen Ingram @drhingram]

Does the government seriously think that the UK public wakes up in the morning and awaits instruction on how to think and behave from Farage, Musk and Vance? These people don’t orchestrate public anger - they reflect it. They are a mouthpiece for the sentiments of the common man.

If you believe in Sharia, live in a country that applies Sharia. There's 57 of them.

Don’t move to a secular state and then demand Sharia.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

@jmasseypoet I think weekly newspapers have their place. On here waves of information come and go very fast. A place that takes the time to stand back and try and get a longer-term view is valuable.

There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.

When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.

We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.

[Ben Sim @ben_sim]

@brivael "tu es une victime, donc tout t’est dû, donc tout t’est permis."

C'est pas l'identification comme victime qui est problématique, c'est la logique qui suit.

On a vu ça avec le 7 octobre - si tu peux te définir comme victime, littéralement tout t'es permis.

Life Hacks: 2026 Edition

1) If Bill Gates is involved, avoid it.

2) If the government says its true, its false.

3) If the CDC or FDA say something is safe, its dangerous.

4) If the government makes a law to help you, it will eventually hurt you.

5) If the media agrees, its a lie.

@sappholives83 I've known that the UK was finished since Asia Bibi was denied asylum.

Contrairement aux rumeurs propagées sur X par les pro russes, il n'y a pas eu d'émeutes mais seulement des manifestations spontanées de joie populaire.

Quelques véhicules ont participé aux festivités et certains commerces ont choisi d'ouvrir leurs vitrines à l'esprit du partage.

La démocratie, le football et le vivre-ensemble sont sortis renforcés de cette soirée historique. ⚽️🇫🇷

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

For centuries, Islamic armies tried to invade Europe and failed. They stormed the gates at Tours, at Vienna, and were turned back.

Even Spain, which fell under their control for centuries, eventually expelled them.

The West once understood the danger of Islam’s imperial ambition and fought to keep it out.

But after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, the narrative shifted. No longer seen as conquerors, Muslims managed to rebrand themselves as victims.

In the name of compassion, the West opened its gates to waves of migration. They were handed citizenship, the very key to reshaping societies from within.

What could not be achieved by the sword is now being achieved by demographics, politics, and cultural infiltration.

@FUDdaily This was where @frankwrighter dropped the ball in his interview too.

[Ben Sim @ben_sim]

@FUDdaily The irony is that all these people want their governments to stick up for them the way Israel sticks up for its citizens.

"the new fashion of "antizionism" on the British right is contrarian zoomer bollocks"

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

This is another vector of absolute bollocks in this debate. The discourse about Israeli/Jewish influence is a very pertinent American debate, but it's ported over into British politics via Youtuber pundits who wouldn't have any audience to speak of if they didn't in some way calibrate their output to American audiences. The British right is just as guilty as the woke left when it comes to importing American bollocks.

In terms of steering British foreign policy, trade policy and immigration policy, the major lobbying that should concern us is Pakistan and India. Israel, meanwhile, doesn't see the UK as especially important to any of its domestic or foreign policy interests - not least because we have never been more irrelevant on the world stage. Jewish lobbying in Britain largely pertains to the safety of Jews in Britain - and calling out what they see as antisemitism and very real threats to their safety.

Maybe they are trigger happy in calling things antisemitic, but for fairly obvious reasons, they will have a better pattern recognition than most. What starts with the odd passive antisemitic trope ends up with Jews being excluded from public life and threatened because they are Jewish. Insofar as the Jewish "lobby" has had any real influence over the outcome of domestic politics, it was their contributory role in keeping Jeremy Corbyn out of office, which on balance makes them an asset. Islamists have had a far greater effect on UK foreign policy pertaining to Israel than the entire cadre of Jewish journalists and lobby groups.

Basically, the new fashion of "antizionism" on the British right is contrarian zoomer bollocks - a juvenile shock jock rebellion against the post-war Boomer pro-Israel consensus. Just as stroppy teenagers like to push boundaries, the zoomers are doing the same politically. Precisely what it is they think it gets them, I really can't tell - not least because it puts their politics in the same ballpark as the far left and Pakistani islamists. My best conclusion is that they are simply retards. A generation of militarily illiterate boys raised by stupid liberal women.
