Go to a small town. The baseball field is named after some local business owner. New track and field house at the high school. Same. Should be no different with data centers. Put a couple of million into small towns across America and watch this drama end overnight.

Not a good sign

This was a very interesting interview with a Somali Muslim man here in Denmark. His honesty tells us what we must do. This man, Abdi Khan is a refugee, who lives on welfare in Denmark with his large family, all paid for by the Danish taxpayers. He hates Denmark. He has a social media profile that is very active and has many followers, in which he constantly denigrates Denmark and the Danes. He also vastly prefers Somalia, and often travels back there. So they ask him if this doesn't seem ungrateful, and why he doesn't move back. His answer is interesting, and actually makes decent sense. 1. He wouldn't like to move back, because he wouldn't be as economically secure. This is true, since he would lose most of the very generous welfare he and his family gets here in Denmark. He says that he would move out if he was paid half a million Euros. Which to the interviewers sounds outrageously high, but which I think is a good estimate from him of the price at which it would make sense for him and his family to leave Denmark. (And would in fact be a good deal for Denmark as well. Somali immigrants with families are far, far more costly than that over time.) 2. To the question about if he doesn't feel bad about being received by Denmark as a refugee, and living off our exceedingly generous welfare, while at the same time denigrating us, he makes a distinction between Denmark and the international conventions. He thinks that Denmark and the Danes are evil and islamophobic, and would in fact prefer not to do these things. But he points out that it's his rights given to him by the international conventions that result in this situation. Not the charity of the Danes, but the international conventions, such as the Refugee Conventions and the European Convention of Human Rights. So he feels zero gratitude towards Denmark. He also says that if Denmark ever left the international conventions, he would go back voluntarily. As I wrote, the interviewers find what he says highly objectionable, and do not hold back with their critique of this man. But I think what he is saying makes sense from his perspective. If (very) hypothetically I was offered asylum by Somalia, and also assuming hypothetically that they had freedom of speech there, I would behave in the same way as he does. I would not hold back on criticizing their barbaric female genital mutilation. The fact that they helped me would not make me hold back on this critique. Like me, Abdi Khan stands for what he believes in. Which just in his case happens to be Islamism. Also, unlike a very large number of other Somali immigrants, it doesn't seem like he is a violent criminal. The Danish media seems to think that he is an example of how wrong Somali immigration can go, but in fact there are many far worse than him. ---- What this man makes very clear with his arguments is that the international conventions are broken. They result in us paying millions to host people who despise us and despise our values, and do everything in their power to work against us. Even though both them and us would strongly prefer them living in their own Muslim countries.

Coming to your local secondary this fall

The best striker on the planet eats like a Norwegian farmer from 1850, and the British tabloids called it "cannibalistic." Erling Haaland, the six foot four machine breaking every scoring record in sight, has let the world see his plate, and it reads like a carnivore forum brought to life. He buys beef heart and liver from the butcher and eats them by choice. Fatty steaks, the fattier the better, by his own account. Sea bass, salmon, mackerel. Eggs on sourdough. Raw honey. And his self-described "magic potion," raw milk, which he drinks straight, stirs into his coffee and blends with greens to carry to training. The sourcing is the entire philosophy. Holding up the organs in his documentary, he said most people will not touch them, but he cares about his body and about eating quality local food. Then the line that belongs on a barn door: people say meat is bad, but which meat? The stuff from McDonald's, or the local cow eating grass right over there? Look at what is missing just as hard. No seed oils. No fizzy drinks. No alcohol. No ultra-processed anything. He filters his water and chases the morning sun. The man treats a packet of crisps the way most people treat a syringe. Now the honest footnotes, because the internet lost its mind. The famous 6,000-calorie figure is one he flatly waves away, saying he does not count. His dad's lasagne is a sacred pre-match ritual, he makes brisket tacos in the slow cooker, and his actual favourite food is a kebab pizza he allows himself about once a year. Strip away the cryo chamber and the mouth tape and the part underneath is almost insultingly simple. Whole food, mostly animal, sourced with care, nothing from a factory. The most lethal finisher in football runs on the exact diet the official guidance spent fifty years telling you to fear.
