@CynicalPublius Insightful, but depressing article.

What the English elite is doing to its native English working population today appears to be psychologically akin to what William the Conquerer did to the uncooperative Anglo-Saxons during the brutal Harrying of the North in 1069-70.

The ONLY realistic way to eject tens of MILLIONS of illegals (without military support) is to FORCE them to self-deport

Bovino nailed it: “Let's make it SO HARD for them to live, to work, to recreate, to do ANYTHING in the US that they have NO CHOICE but to self-deport”

Mass deportations are NOT POSSIBLE otherwise. We don’t have enough time.

FORCE THEM TO TAP OUT.

[Kyle Becker @kylenabecker]

Meanwhile, in Minnesota… police are now admitting they are “Somalians first.”

"We came to this country as refugees. Now that we're hired, we work for our own people [Somalians].”

This should raise alarm bells with all Americans.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Most Democrats couldn't make it to our hearing on government fraud. The empty chairs made their priorities pretty clear.
Hard to claim you're fighting waste when you don't even show up.

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

This is not hypocrisy anymore. Hypocrisy is pretending to believe one thing while doing another. This is worse. This is a moral system so rotted that some deaths are treated as sacred and others as politically inconvenient debris.

A foreign national dies during an ICE confrontation, and the entire outrage industry detonates on command. Politicians howl. Activists swarm. Media vultures circle. Offices are surrounded. “Justice” becomes the word of the hour before anyone has bothered to establish what actually happened.

Then comes the eyewitness account: the driver allegedly put the car in gear and drove toward federal agents.

No matter. The narrative had already been chosen.

But Sheridan Gorman? Katie Abraham? American victims whose deaths raise the wrong questions about illegal immigration?

Silence.

No marches. No wall-to-wall coverage. No trembling speeches. No coordinated demands. Barely even a public acknowledgment that they existed.

That is not selective compassion. It is political scavenging.

They do not mourn the dead. They sort them.

Useful victims are elevated, branded, and weaponized against the country. Inconvenient victims are pushed into the shadows because their names expose the human cost of policies the political class refuses to defend honestly.

There is something profoundly sick about watching people manufacture instant sainthood for one death while stepping over the graves of others without breaking stride.

Do not call this inconsistency. Do not sanitize it as partisanship.

It is a deliberate inversion of moral value.

When outrage depends on the nationality of the dead and the usefulness of the corpse, compassion has ended.

What remains is propaganda wearing a funeral mask.

WOW: This is insane. You're looking at our current live camera overlooking Rochester, New York. This image is untouched, not edited or oversaturated in any way. The wildfire smoke situation right now is very reminiscent of 2023 when it got so bad.

Most people don’t actually hate rules. They hate rules that only seem to apply to the people still trying to follow them.

That’s the quiet rage building in this country right now. You keep your yard clean, you don’t blast music at 2 a.m., you don’t let your dog terrorize the block ... and you watch while the people who do those things get protected, excused, or even celebrated. The same system that once existed to keep the neighborhood from turning into a junkyard now spends its energy shielding the ones doing the damage.

It’s the HOA model applied to an entire civilization. You joined the community under a certain understanding: give up a little freedom, accept some boundaries, and in return you get order, property that means something, and the basic assurance that the rules aren’t just weapons aimed at the law-abiding.

When that deal gets quietly rewritten so the rules bind only the obedient while the connected and the chaotic operate under different standards, the whole arrangement starts to feel like a trap.

Europe is further down that road. They kept tightening the rules on their own citizens while refusing to enforce the most basic ones against people who never signed the original compact. The result isn’t peace. It’s a slow, grinding realization that the people in charge no longer see the original residents as the ones they’re obligated to protect.

America still has a different ending available. Not because we’re magically immune, but because enough of us still understand what a real boundary looks like ... and what it takes to hold one. The question isn’t whether we’ll tolerate rules. The question is whether we’ll keep tolerating rules that no longer protect the people who actually obey them.

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate is holding an anti-taxpayer fraud meeting right now with Nick Shirley and James O'Keefe...

...and stunning new footage shows EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT SEAT is *empty*

100% of Democrats on the committee were invited, 0% SHOWED UP.

The Party of Fraud. They know about the fraud and are complicit!

FOX: "We have a shot of the empty seats, all the way to the right. Empty seats where DEMOCRATS would be sitting. Dems don't care about defrauding the American people?!" 🤯

The craziest part of the supreme Court justice testimony was how they complained about their security being compromised at the hands of a few nutjobs while allowing millions of crazy violent illegals to compromise national security and jeopardize our lives through birthright citizenship.

Jensen Huang doesn’t use AI to think less. He uses it to think past his own limits.

Huang: “90% of my instructions are actually conflated with questions.”

The man running a five trillion dollar company doesn’t give AI commands. He interrogates it.

Huang: “I take the answer from one AI, give it to the other AI, ask them to critique itself.”

Same question. Multiple models. Pit them against each other. Keep only what survives.

Not because the machine can’t be trusted.

Because challenging it is where the sharpest thinking happens.

Huang: “The process of critiquing, criticizing the answers, applying your critical thinking, enhances cognitive skills.”

AI doesn’t replace your thinking. It demands more of it than you’ve ever given.

Every question takes reasoning. Every answer takes scrutiny. The machine isn’t thinking for you.

It’s pulling thinking out of you that didn’t exist before you sat down.

Huang: “In order to formulate good questions, you have to be thinking, you have to be analytical, you have to be reasoning yourself.”

AI is not the shortcut everyone thinks it is.

It is the most powerful cognitive amplifier ever built. It sharpens the engaged. It leaves the passive exactly where they started.

Same tool. Same access. The only variable is what you bring to it.

The world is debating whether AI will replace human thinking.

Wrong conversation.

The real question is what happens when a tool built to think for you becomes the thing that forces you to think beyond yourself.

That’s not a threat to humanity.

That’s the entire point.

Will the average American get beefed-up security to protect against the hordes of illegals and their anchor babies she welcomed into the country two weeks ago? Of course they won't.

The media’s racial whitewash of "teen takeovers" is fooling almost no one, as I discussed in my keynote address to @TheAtlasSociety last month:

Unreal.

Hochul says "our power capacity is stretched to its limits".

Really? Upstate NY has enough capacity to be selling almost 1 gigawatt (or almost 20-50 megawatt 'hyperscalers') to Quebec this morning.

🚨 NOW: Speaker Johnson just dropped this chilling line to every American to block the rise of COMMUNISM

"This is not a GAME! Everybody needs to understand these crazy little Mamdanis who are popping up all around the country — they are a DANGER to you and your family. This is not a GAME!"

"If they promise you free stuff, there is far more beneath those promises that even some of these people do not understand themselves."

"And so we are here as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles of the greatest nation in the history of the world. It is our duty to do that."

"And we're doing it on behalf of all of you, even the journalists who don't agree with our policies all the time."

"You better agree on these principles because that's what keeps you free."

"By the way, it's what keeps the press free, okay? This is essential for your well-being and your family. This is not a game."

"This is not our Father's Democrat Party. This is not, we're not arguing our marginal tax rates anymore. We're arguing whether or not freedom is going to survive!" @SpeakerJohnson

An 8-year-old boy stabbed a woman who was fighting with his mother yesterday in Rochester NY. The woman will survive.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

NEW: Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett details the chilling threats her family has faced, revealing the terrifying moment her 12-year-old son discovered a bulletproof vest in her bedroom during the fallout of the Dobbs leak.

Barrett also recounted a recent "swatting" incident at her home and receiving threatening anonymous deliveries, warning that while federal judges continue to do their jobs without fear or favor, the current threat level is "really high."

"I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, and why I had to wear one."

[Seán Ono Lennon @seanonolennon]

I feel like thinking itself is broken in most people. Basic reasoning is a rarity these days. Reading comprehension is becoming a thing of the past.
