According to Grok, Utah spends $900,000,000 on illegals and refugees in the state annually.

That would be enough to give a 25,000 young couples,

A grant of $40,000, as a deposit on a house.

Every single year.

It is obvious that a decision was made that, starting in 2015, Europe would switch to a sort of "industrial" immigration of non-whites. The numbers would be vast, the funding basically infinite, the media black-out (or white-wash) damn near total, and the process without end.

The goal was simply: flood Europe with as many non-whites as possible, as fast as possible, and for as long as possible. We're now 11 years into the so-called "migrant crisis" and the numbers only seem to be increasing. I'm sure new methods are being invented constantly to hide those numbers.

The end goal is very obviously to wipe out the European race, because that is the only long-term result of this. These people do not bring prosperity, or cultural enrichment, or wondrous new ideas. They bring us economic bankruptcy, cultural pollution, social dysfunction, and genetic extinction.

Massive programmes need to be devised to transport all of them back to where they belong, or at any rate, far away from any White nation. Whatever that costs, it will be worth it.

The Shiloh Hendrix case isn't even a close call or a grey area. She was charged and convicted of a crime for saying a word. If that's not a violation of the First Amendment, nothing is. This is one of the most straight forward free speech issues we've seen in a long time.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

What is the real lesson of Shiloh Hendrix?

Simple.

No matter what the laws says, it is written on paper.

Paper cannot force compliance.

The actual power lies not with what the law says, or who writes it, but with whoever can and will enforce his interpretation.

You elect the president? Meaningless.

You elect congressmen and senators? Meaningless.

You contact your representative and make your voice heard? Meaningless.

Because, right now, in modern America, the executive and legislative branches always obey judicial rulings, and never impeach judges.

This means that the only constraint on judicial power is imposed by the judiciary's own diminishing self-restraint.

This is not democracy or republicanism. This is kritocracy, from the Greek: kritēs “judge” + kratos “power or rule”.

It doesn't have to be this way. Judges, by themselves, are nothing but sedentary old people. They can enforce nothing.

But they have built for themselves an image of being neutral and above politics, even as they engage in absurd mental gymnastics to make sweeping policy decisions that no one voted for, and to pursue nakedly ideological agendas.

@nayibbukele warned us, many years ago, that an unrestrained judiciary can nullify any government action, regardless of its popular mandate.

If we allow this to continue, the entirety of United States politics will gradually be reduced to nothing more than a struggle to pack the judiciary with cronies.

It doesn't have to be this way. By the law, judges serve "during good behavior".

All we need do is decide that wild, nakedly partisan reinterpretations of literal text are not good behavior.

“Democracy is the foundation of our freedom.”

Cette phrase est fascinante.

Pas parce que la démocratie n’est pas importante.

Mais parce qu’aujourd’hui, certains responsables politiques semblent avoir inversé le sens des mots.

Orwell appelait cela la novlangue.

Le principe est simple : quand le pouvoir change la définition des mots, il change progressivement ce que les gens acceptent comme normal.

La censure devient la “protection de la démocratie”.

Les restrictions de certaines libertés deviennent la “défense de la liberté”.

La centralisation du pouvoir devient la “protection des citoyens”.

La critique devient de la “désinformation”.

Plus les mots perdent leur sens, plus il devient difficile d’avoir un débat honnête.

La démocratie n’est pas un slogan.

C’est la possibilité de contester le pouvoir, de débattre librement et de changer les dirigeants.

Orwell n’avait pas peur des mots.

Il avait peur du jour où les dirigeants n’hésiteraient plus à leur faire dire exactement le contraire de ce qu’ils signifient.

1984 était un avertissement, pas un mode d’emploi.

Its way past time to shut down the "refugee" immigration program

Nadia Muhammed comes into the country as a "refugee" demanding protections from the evils of Somalia.

She refuses to assimilate, gets free welfare/education and becomes a mayor

She then rubs the scam in American's Faces by heading back to Somalia...you know the place that she was fearful for her life so she had to flee and come to America

And she tops it off by telling us how great Somalia is and how Awful America is

Shut down these programs and DEPORT THEM ALL

The way so many people reacted to Mamdani’s disgraceful speech on America’s 250th Independence Day explains exactly why he and his movement keep winning.

“His speech was a miscalculation.”
“He’ll regret giving that speech.”
“We can’t let him get away with it.”

Are you people still not getting it?

That speech wasn’t a mistake. It wasn’t a blunder. It was the message.

Did you honestly expect him to celebrate America this year? Or next year? This is who he is. This is the movement. They despise America’s history, values, and identity. They’re not hiding it. They’re telling you exactly what they believe.

The frightening part isn’t the speech. It’s watching people on our side convince themselves it was some kind of political error instead of recognizing it for exactly what it was.

As long as people keep pretending this is anything other than a movement fundamentally opposed to the America we know, they’ll keep winning. You can’t defeat a threat you refuse to acknowledge.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

Hello Mr. Clinton,

I'm not going to extend to you the courtesy that your paragraph about lawfare extends to Trump supporters. Because I've studied enough of you, to know what you are truly about.

You were President during the post-Cold War sugar high. I have it thoroughly documented that you and your administration met with George Soros frequently, and in short term changed your policy positions to fit whatever George Soros proposed.

Which was: continuous military intervention all over the world. Starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia. You were the original neoconservative. Madeline Albright used "open society" phrasing in communicating your foreign policy documents. You are a part of the long string of failures of nation-building in the name of democracy, the Western interventions that resulted in millions of mass migrants overwhelming our borders, artificial famines, and us building the infrastructure that enabled China to take over the Africa continent and extract African resources for themselves.

But. Most of all. Those of us -- and there are a good deal many of us -- who have been ruined by lawfare. @GenFlynn sacrificed everything. @JeffClarkUS has had his life ruined and is still rebuilding. At the end of the day, only one President has been the subject of repeated assassination attempts and eighty-plus indictments - and it's President Trump. Not anyone in your orbit.

Seriously, Bill. What do you think when you see that a Democrat gets indicted by a grand jury, and a judge inevitably overturns that indictment on grounds that nobody has heard of? "Oh wow the judges are so wise and saw right through a jury of peers! And that wisdom coincidentally happens to always fall on party lines!" Give me a break.

Every single one of us on the right-wing side knows that when your side regains power, your side will turn the full might of lawfare on us. You will cheer on mass incarcerations. You openly brag about that. You even toe the line of threatening to jail current military members if they don't refuse orders from Pete Hegseth.

You are the evil one here. You cheer on the burning of our cities. You cheer on lawfare of Republicans. You never apologized for the millions of lives disrupted all over the world. You never say a word about the billions or even trillions of dollars that have been robbed by your friends through corrupt NGOs.

The fact that none of you are in jail, proves that we are the powerless ones here. You're just afraid that someone sees you for you who are, and you secretly know that image is ugly.

[Robbie Hendricks @robbiehendricks]

Let me tell you something, comrade.

No American thinks we are exceptional because we are richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone else.

We are exceptional because we are American. It is our value system that built wealth, strength, and power.

It was the American values etched into the souls of generations of people in this country that built what we have today.

Those values are something you clearly cannot understand, or you choose not to, because they would require you building something of your own.

Our nation was founded by people who simply wanted a chance to build something for themselves.

It wasn’t about being richer than others. It wasn’t about being more powerful than others. It wasn’t about being stronger than others.

It’s certainly wasn’t built on what you propose, this hideous belief that you or anyone is somehow entitled to what other people built.

That is the antithesis of America. Your ideas would have been laughed out of America 250 years ago. You ran an entire mayoral campaign on seizing assets from others.

The sheer concept of expecting the government to force hard-working people to feed, house, and fund other able-bodied men and women would have been roundly ridiculed.

In fact, that is why people migrated to America. It was about freedom.

They fled oppressive government, they fled the type of tyranny you are promoting. Where their work was not theirs, where the fruits of their labor were taken from them.

They fled here not expecting a handout, but simply hoping for a chance to build something on their own. A chance to bet on themselves.

That dream is still vibrantly alive today for the those that choose to work hard and pursue it.

You, of course, sell that it is not possible. That it is a zero sum game. That the success of one group must therefore be at the expense of another group, which is a disgusting lie disguised as “promoting fairness”.

That is the opposite of our American value system.

In America, we believe in abundance. We believe in hard work. We believe in merit. We believe in earning things. We believe if you learn, work hard, and do your best, doors will open. And they do. Every time.

Those beliefs are what made America exceptional, and that is why America continues to be the greatest country in the history of mankind.

All despite men like you.

Lettre à l'Amérique, d'un Français qui a vu la fin du film.

Vous vous croyez encore le dernier pays libre. Vous l'êtes pour l'instant. Je vous écris depuis un pays qui l'était aussi, et qui a signé sa reddition sans qu'un seul coup de feu ne soit tiré.

En France, l'État capte et redistribue 57% de tout ce que la nation produit. Cinquante-sept pour cent. Arrêtez-vous sur ce chiffre. Pour chaque unité de valeur créée par un ingénieur, un ouvrier, un fondateur qui a risqué sa peau, plus de la moitié transite par une main qui n'a rien bâti. Ce n'est pas une ligne budgétaire. C'est une hypothèque permanente sur l'existence des gens.

Et voici ce que personne ne vous avouera : ça n'arrive jamais par la révolution. Personne ne vote pour le déclin. On vote pour la compassion, pour la sécurité, pour la justice, pour la planète. À chaque étape, on troque un morceau de liberté contre une promesse. Et les promesses sont toujours belles. C'est ça, le piège.

Le collectivisme d'aujourd'hui n'agite plus le drapeau rouge il a compris que ça ne se vend plus. Il a appris à parler la langue du soin. ESG, gouvernance, conformité, « responsabilité » : ce sont les mots nouveaux d'une très vieille idée. L'idée qu'une élite éclairée sait mieux que vous ce qui est bon pour vous, et qu'il faut donc lui transférer, ligne après ligne, le pouvoir de décider à votre place. Ce n'est pas un complot. C'est pire : c'est un consensus. Personne ne se cache. Tout se fait à visage découvert, applaudi, subventionné.

Hayek l'avait écrit il y a quatre-vingts ans : la route de la servitude est pavée de bonnes intentions et de planification centralisée. La France a marché sur cette route en souriant. On a nationalisé le risque, socialisé l'échec, taxé l'audace, et administré tout le reste. Résultat : un pays magnifique qui ne construit plus rien, qui gère sa décrépitude avec une élégance funèbre, et où le jeune le plus doué rêve d'une seule chose partir. Beaucoup atterrissent chez vous.

L'Amérique a encore ce que nous avons perdu : le réflexe de bâtir plutôt que d'administrer. Le fondateur y est un héros, pas un suspect. La réussite y est une preuve, pas une faute à expier. C'est votre trésor. Et un trésor, ça se perd sans qu'on s'en aperçoive un formulaire, une agence, une « bonne cause » à la fois.

Alors ne cherchez pas d'ennemis cachés. C'est inutile et c'est indigne de vous. Regardez plutôt le chiffre. Regardez la France. Chaque point de PIB que vous laissez glisser vers l'État est un point de liberté qui ne revient jamais.

La liberté ne meurt pas assassinée. Elle meurt anesthésiée, sous les applaudissements.

Ne signez pas. Construisez.

Hier j'ai fait un post pour expliquer comment j'en suis arrivé à écrire sur la French Theory — ce post qui m'a valu un follow d'Elon Musk et de Javier Milei, et qui a fait 80 millions de vues.

Mais la French Theory n'était que la conséquence. La cause première, celle qui m'a poussé à creuser tous ces sujets aussi profondément, c'est l'économie.

Et quand je vois Lecornu déclarer qu'« il y avait un sentiment d'inégalité dans la répartition de la richesse, et que ça, il faut bien le traiter », je me dis qu'on tient là, en une phrase, tout ce qui ne tourne pas rond dans ce pays.

Parce que ça fait 50, 60, 70 ans qu'on SAIT. On sait exactement ce qu'il faut faire pour générer de la prospérité et rendre un pays fonctionnel. Ce n'est pas un mystère, ce n'est pas une opinion de comptoir, c'est démontré empiriquement sur tous les continents et à toutes les époques : libéraliser à fond, baisser les impôts au maximum, réduire le poids de l'État partout où c'est possible.

Pourquoi réduire l'État ? Pas par idéologie. Par mécanique pure.

Un bureaucrate est structurellement incapable d'allouer du capital efficacement. Ce n'est pas une question de méchanceté ni d'incompétence individuelle — c'est mathématique. Il n'a pas les signaux de prix, il n'a pas le retour du réel, il n'a pas de skin in the game. Il dépense l'argent des autres, pour des gens qu'il ne connaît pas, sans jamais payer le prix de ses erreurs. Hayek et Mises avaient tout expliqué il y a un siècle : sans marché, tu es aveugle. Tu ne peux pas calculer. Tu ne peux qu'improviser à l'échelle de 68 millions de personnes.

Résultat : des services publics qui s'effondrent, un pays qui décroche, des gens qui galèrent pour de vrai. Et devant ce désastre, on leur explique que le coupable, c'est le voisin qui a réussi. Que si l'hôpital ferme, si l'école ne forme plus, si tu n'arrives plus à te loger, c'est parce qu'il existe des gens riches.

C'est faux. Radicalement faux.

Le problème n'a JAMAIS été qu'il existe des gens riches. La richesse des uns n'a appauvri personne — un euro gagné en créant de la valeur n'est pas un euro volé à quelqu'un d'autre, c'est un euro qui n'existait pas avant. Le vrai problème, c'est un État qui te prend la moitié de tout ce que tu produis pour le cramer dans une machine qui ne fonctionne pas, puis qui vient te dire que ton sentiment d'injustice, c'est la faute du type d'en face.

Taxer davantage, ce n'est pas « traiter le sentiment d'inégalité ». C'est nourrir la bête qui l'a créé.

Le sentiment d'injustice est réel. Mais il ne vient pas de ceux qui créent la richesse. Il vient de ceux qui la confisquent pour la gaspiller — et qui ont besoin que tu regardes ailleurs pendant qu'ils le font.

- E.M. Burlingame, 20260630

[Porter Stansberry @porterstansb]

As we approach our 250th anniversary, I believe it's worth noting that our government is only actually 165 years old.

The American Republic established in 1776 ended in 1861.

The Civil War cost almost a million lives: one out of every five white men of military age in the South and one out of every ten in the North. It destroyed virtually all of the wealth in the South — a 90% reduction to per capita GDP. The South would not recover economically until 1950.

But the real cost of the war wasn't economic. It was political.

The Civil War destroyed the Federalist system that our founders built to ensure the central government's power remained genuinely limited. Not limited by the goodwill of its legislators, which is no limit at all, but limited by the existence of rival sovereign States, which could restrain the central government and each other through competition.

After 1865 the only real limit to federal power was the self-restraint of the men in office. And that didn't last for long...

But, before we look at the long-term impact of America's first war of aggression, let us dispel a critical myth: that the Civil War ended slavery. Slavery was ending because of technology and economics. And it would have ended just as surely if no war had ever been fought between the States.

Britain abolished slavery, without a war, throughout its empire in 1833, freeing some 700,000 people in the West Indies alone. France abolished slavery in its colonies in 1848. Russia — the most backward great power in Europe — emancipated some twenty-three million serfs in 1861, the very year of Sumter. The Netherlands freed the slaves of Surinam and Curaçao in 1863. Across the entire industrializing world, unfree labor was abandoned within a single compressed generation. And, in no other great nation, was war required.

In America, slavery did not end because of General Grant and the boys in blue. It did not end because of a moral awakening. The cause was economic.

Chattel slavery extracts muscle power from human beings. Therefore, slavery only makes economic sense if muscle power is the binding constraint on production. Once machines had multiplied the labor output of muscle by hundreds of times, slavery was not only immoral but inefficient. In an industrial economy a slave costs more than he yields. As a result, capital flees from slavery into factories. All over the world. And even in the South.

Slavery ended everywhere at roughly the same time for the same reason: innovation and economics. It would have ended in the American South regardless of who won at Gettysburg. Even Brazil, the last holdout in the Western hemisphere, freed its 725,000 slaves with the Golden Law of 1888. No war was required: slavery was no longer productive.

With apologies to the celebrants of Juneteenth, slavery was not legally abolished in the United States until the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December 1865. The institution died, not because of the war, but because the world had entered the machine age.

The unnecessary destruction of half of our country and almost a million people wasn't the greatest tragedy of the Civil War. The greatest tragedy was the loss of Federalism and the hard-won liberty Americans won in the Revolution.

The Civil War destroyed the federal structure of the American republic, in which the several States were sovereign in their own spheres, with genuinely different legal systems, cultures, and traditions. The national government was beholden to the States, with only limited and enumerated powers.

The clearest proof of this change lies in our language. Before 1861, the United States was a plural noun. Men said the United States "are." After 1865 our country became singular. The United States "is."

The doctrine that a state could check the central government — by interposition, by nullification, in the last resort by departure — died at Appomattox, and with it the last structural brake on the power of the federal government died too.

The framers had not relied on parchment to limit the government they created. They relied on competition. So long as the States were genuinely sovereign — so long as a man oppressed in one State could remove to another, so long as the national government had to reckon with twenty or thirty rival centers of authority each jealous of its own jurisdiction — the central government could not easily grow into a Leviathan. The States were not administrative subdivisions. They were the Constitution's immune system.

What followed the Civil War was America's first empire -- in the South. And Empire's require a strong central government. Thus began a long erosion of the line between the citizen and the State, and between private institutions and public power.

Twelve years after the war, the Supreme Court considered whether a State could fix by law the prices a private grain warehouse charged its customers. The owners argued it was a taking of their property without due process — that what a man does with his own property, and what he charges for its use, is rightfully his own affair. The Court disagreed. Chief Justice Waite ruled that when private property is "affected with a public interest, it ceases to be juris privati only," and may be regulated by the government for the common good (Munn v. Illinois, 1877).

That was the end of private property in America. After all, if the national legislature may decide which property is "affected with a public interest," and may then dictate its prices and uses, there is in principle no property the government may not control.

Justice Stephen Field saw it and dissented with prophetic fury. The doctrine, he warned, "is nothing less than a bold assertion of absolute power by the State to control at its discretion the property and business of the citizen." A legislature that could fix the uses and prices of property "against the consent of the owner" could "deprive him of the property as completely as by a special act for its confiscation or destruction."

New York City's landlords are finding out the truth of this reality. They believe they own their properties. But they are about to find out otherwise, as rents will now be controlled by the mayor, who is a communist. This will spread. A communist ruling over all of America is only a matter of time. Why? Because the law provides an unlimited incentive for such power. There is nothing in America the government cannot take from you. Nothing.

The proof of the unlimited central authority was established in blood. The courts followed where the armies led. And the first American Empire — the North's conquest of the South — led to more such military adventures, which continue to this day.

In its first century, the United States heeded its founders' warnings against entangling alliances, a large standing army, and foreign military adventures. But the creation of the massive Northern army created its own momentum. Only 20 years after Reconstruction, the country clamored for another Empire and war against Spain. America became an imperial power, with possessions from the Caribbean to the far Pacific — Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines.

The consolidated nation that emerged from the Civil War was the precondition for the American Empire that emerged in 1898. Power flows to the center, and the center's reach has no natural boundary.

The Leviathan must be fed.

In 1913, every American became a direct serf to the national government: The Sixteenth Amendment gave the federal government the power to tax incomes directly. The size of a government is set, in the end, by the size of its revenues. The income tax removed the ceiling.

The Seventeenth Amendment, ratified the same year, provided for the direct election of United States senators. Under the original Constitution, senators were chosen by the state legislatures. This was the last vestige of State sovereignty. It could not be allowed to stand. The Senate stopped being the guardian of federalism.

And… then… with these Constitutional impediments finally vanquished, you saw Leviathan act to ensure its permanent dominance: it would control the money supply.

In December of 1913, Congress created the Federal Reserve System. The power over money, which the Constitution had strictly withheld from the central government, was enshrined into law. Income tax, a central bank, and the removal of the states from the Senate — all in one year.

The Revolution that began in 1861 was complete. America's Empire had begun.

Munn established that the government may dictate the use of private property. 1898 established that the consolidated nation would project power without limit beyond its borders. 1913 established the revenue, the money power, and the removal of the states from their guard post. The 1964 Civil Rights Act expanded this dictatorial power into every private transaction in America.

Government of the people, for the people, and by the people has been destroyed.

We now live in an Empire, not a Republic.

The Civil War didn't free any slaves; it enslaved all of us.
