Senate Republicans want to lose the Senate. They want to just sit around making deals with Democrats and avoiding any accountability for what happens.
They want an environment where they can cast fake votes that allow them to look like they’re doing the right thing while getting what they want from Democrats—amnesty, ICE defunding, Trump impeachment.
A minority Senate where they can “vote right” but let Democrats get whatever they want is a dream scenario for McConnell and Thune.
Don’t let them let get away with it.
Vote like your continued existence depends on victory. Because it does.
The black pillers will tell you to stay home because nothing matters. But black pilling is gay. And giving puke RINOs what they want is also gay.
Don’t give Senate Republicans what they want, which is a Congress entirely run by Democrats. Put them back in charge and then make them miserable by forcing them to show up to work every day to secure the border and reform elections.
If you want to make Senate Republicans like McConnell and Thune miserable and angry, vote to keep them in the majority. It is the ultimate revenge for their nonsense.
Exactly right. I see this on the teaching side of things as well. Don't get your kid a smartphone and have them prepare for some of these tests a little more. It isn't a big deal.
I want to be clear that I am 100% in favor of severely cracking down on the omnipresent favoritism, tribalism and generalized scamming Indians take part in and my preferred method would be to deport most of them.
BUT
White people are absolutely not competing at the places where the playing field is level, and I have a very good example.
I live in a very good public school district and there are several advanced academic programs starting from 3rd grade onward. This district is ~90% white and affluent. It starts with CogAT testing in 2nd grade. This is a pretty standardized IQ test. What Indians and Asians have long understood is that, especially in younger kids, these tests are mostly about familiarity. If your kid is average to above average IQ, a relatively small amount of drilling and practice will allow them to be 95th+ percentile.
I saw this starkly. I purchased a practice test subscription for my son. His first time through he was like 80th percentile. The second time, he was 98th. In the live test he was 99th. He's a very smart kid, but the simple familiarity was obviously a huge factor and all it took was like $70 and a few hours, spread over a month. Because of this score he was invited to the district's gifted and talented program, which he has now been in for 3 years.
Remember when I said that this district is 90% white. The racial makeup of this program is about 40% white. The majority is Indian and East Asian kids. I know for a fact that the selection criteria is completely merit based. The highest test scorers get in. This is obviously not because Indians and Asians are just naturally smarter. Their parents simply did what I did and got their kids prepared for the test.
On top of this there are endless after-school programs for engineering, coding and other STEM focused stuff, as well as more artistic things. My son has done a couple of the robotics engineering ones, as well as chess club. Here the racial makeup is even more lopsided. In one robotics program, there were ~12 kids and my son was one of two white kids. The rest were Indian/East Asian. Same goes for his chess club. These are 100% elective and non-exclusive clubs. Anyone can sign up and they are completely free.
The point of all this is to say that white folks, even affluent ones are mailing it in. They aren't failing to be tiger moms or whatever, they are utterly handing their kids over to the school and taking no extra interest at all. They are railing about subversive teachers out of one side of their mouths, then delegating 100% of their children's education to them out of the other.
Do I love that schooling in America has been trending toward this more Asian model of test competitiveness? No, I don't. But this is the reality and frankly, it isn't nearly as onerous to succeed in these environments as people believe.
Do I understand that white people are overtly discriminated against at the college level? Yes, I do. If my son were to apply to MIT today, he would be heavily disadvantaged for being a white male. If he were to apply for a tech job today, he would be heavily disadvantaged for being a white male. I understand and hate all of this.
BUT
Things change more rapidly than you can imagine. We have no idea what this landscape will look like in 5, 10, 15 years. The only thing you can really impact is what you do now. You can get your children ready for whatever outcome you deem best for them, right now. What you cannot do is just hand them over to the schools and somehow expect that they will rise to the top. Unless they are truly giga genius level, the climb up this ladder is systematic and involves pretty easy things like test prep, extracurriculars and involvement and oversight from YOU.
My son is not some overscheduled robot. He has lots of free time to just be a kid. He plays football and baseball and other sports. He is expected and kept accountable to do well in school, which he does.
If you want the white man to maintain and ascend, then you must do more than the bare minimum. We can work to deport millions and raise our children to compete at the same time.
Yep, I thought I was misreading the numbers, too. But no, it really is that bad. And no on seems to be talking about it much.
Just 2% of the newly created jobs went to men. I had to fact check @everymancomm on that one—it sounded unbelievable. But it’s true.

King is the most artificially propped up and rehashed by Hollywood author there's ever been. If you look on IMDB there's 442(!) movies and tv shows adapted from his stories. And interestingly enough the overwhelming majority of those projects didn't perform well or flat out bombed. But they keep on adapting them, over and over. This is what, the fifth version of Carrie?
For each IT or Green Mile there's years and years of mediocre performers and flops. Don't take my word for it, just google Stephen King movie flops.
In fact, King has about a dozen under performers and bombs for each hit, a ratio that would've rendered anyone else dead meat in Hollywood long ago, but he can basically blow his nose and some production company will immediatly option that Kleenex.
For perspective, King had more things adapted than the following mega selling authors put together:
James Patterson-40
Michael Crichton-62
Tom Clancy-47
JK Rowling-47
George RR Martin-42
Michael Connelly-17
John Grisham-25
Toni Morrison-2
Frank Herbert-28
Nora Roberts-12
Nicholas Sparks-24
Dean Koontz-24
Anne Rice-16
James Michener-21
Mary Higgins Clark-30
And that was just a few minutes of me thinking up contemporary mega sellers (top 100 in America) who'd had a lot of movie and TV adaptations and plugging them into IMDB until I got close (437). And a bunch of those have sold more books than King too.
The only mega selling author I found in my quick search who got even sorta close was Tolkien at 117 which sounded really high for what productions I could think of, but turns out that's because he gets a writing credit on every video game and cartoon too, and there's been a lot of those.
Now, this isn't me bashing on King's writing. I like his stuff better than several of those mega sellers I listed above. But when one dude's stuff gets farmed orders of magnitude more than his contemporaries that's a sad statement on the lame predictability of Hollywood.
Meanwhile there are thousands of great authors with original stories who will never option anything to Hollywood. Unless you are one of the Airport Book Store level author mega sellers, Hollywood doesn't know you exist. And even when one of us normal working stiffs get something optioned by a production company, they option like a hundred things for each one that actually gets put into production, so it's a roll of the dice. (I'm on my fifth option but Larry Correia-0).
This isn't weird. The vast majority of authors will never see any of our work adapted by Hollywood. I'm not gonna bother looking these all up on IMDB, but off the top of my head (correct me if I'm wrong):
Laurell K. Hamilton-0
David Drake-0
Eric Flint-0
David Weber-0
John Ringo-0
Faith Hunter-0
Larry Niven-0
Jerry Pournelle-0
Then you've got writers with huge bodies of work, and they maybe get one or two things made over their entire career (or sadly, right after they die!)
Jim Butcher-1
Dan Wells-1
Jonathan Maberry-1
Dan Simmons-1 (How?!? The dude was a fucking genius!)
Neal Stephenson-0 (another how?!? but 2 in production supposedly)
Brandon Sanderson-0! (but a couple in production, and all he had to do was a $47,000,000 kickstarter to get Hollywood to finally notice him!) :D
Then I know a bunch of guys who have 1, but that's because of Love, Death, Robots episodes on Netflix. Like, I can't stand John Scalzi, I think he's a putz, but even he's got far more interesting ideas Hollywood could adapt than the seventh version of a tired Stephen King story.
It's like the Pawn Stars meme. "Hey Hollywood, can you give me some new and interesting stories?" "Naw, best I can do is another version of something Stephen King wrote in the 1970s."
If you think you know her story, you're dead wrong. Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, based on my novel arrives October 7 on Prime Video.

We gotta pump those numbers up! Haha, get it? I want even MORE results than we’re getting, isn’t that novel? It’s a very unique perspective that I’m sure the people whose job it is to get results haven’t considered. Usually, when a team is putting points on the board, they aren’t considering that they should be trying to score as many points as possible. It’s really important for me to remind everyone that I’m actually like super based because I’m even more hardcore than the administration, and I have the resume of posts online to prove it. Now, in terms of actual material victories I have nothing to show, but trust me, the ideas in my head are so much more based than anything you’re seeing from The President of The United States. Isn’t that interesting? The number should be higher. Hey, did you hear me? I said the number should be higher! Did that make it happen? Are you going to tell me the physical reality of transporting large numbers of criminal aliens out of this country in the face of constant legal battles is harder than just posting online? The sad truth is that The Administration just isn’t as redpilled as me, a guy who changes his beliefs based on the last meme I saw. By the way, we should ban flock cameras because of some reason I forgot already but Peter Thiel is probably involved, which makes them bad for, again, some reason I can’t remember. Anyway, the ideas I have in my head are extremely epic, you have never heard of ideas like these, and I’ll gladly put my thoughts-that-amount-to-nothing up against your less-than-perfect real results any day. If Trump, a billionaire playboy who won the presidency 3 times wants to be successful, he needs to start listening to me, a guy who has failed at everything I’ve ever attempted, except for getting 40k followers on Twitter. I think my track record speaks for itself. For example, here’s a very original thought that I know you’ve never considered: why was Biden able to let millions of people flood into the country in 4 years but we can’t get the same amount out in the same time period. See, that is the kind of important question that I bring to the discourse. Without me, and accounts based in Pakistan saying the same things I’m saying, we would be on the brink of collapse, which we already are according to my other tweets where I’ve said that we’d all be dead by now. It’s important in times of crisis to be extremely emotional and demoralizing, not that I’m doing that and I actually hate when people say that. I’m offering genuine, good faith criticism of the administration, such as, Trump has betrayed us because Benjamin Netanyahu has an HD video of him eating a babies skull. I don’t personally say that, of course, I only openly and positively associate with people who do, which is different. It’s connections to people who hate us and want us to lose that makes me such a valuable asset, especially when the stakes are high and the margin of error is slim. We cannot afford to lose the midterms, which I will remind you don’t matter and both sides have sold you out. No matter how you vote, you get the same outcome, but also, I’m not encouraging you to stay home, and in fact if the Democrats get into power the country is over because they will grant citizenship to every single illegal, which is something I just lied about yesterday by saying the Trump administration is doing this. Sometimes it’s good to lie because the left lies all the time and service of their agenda. The difference is when I’m lying, it’s only about stuff that hurts the right instead of helps, which makes it principled somehow. At the very least, it demonstrates how much more based I am which has always been my most guiding principle: Having cool head ideas and lying to demonstrate how much more based I am than what we’re getting. This is how we win, and if we do win, I will be there to take victory lap for my brave sacrifice of posting online, and if we lose, well I told you so. You should’ve listened to me.

Here again is our intrepid Everyman Big Kahuna Auguste Meyrat on his ongoing quest to seek out the more illuminating minds on the interwebs who are willing to have the kind of conversations establishment voices and partisan pedants are unable or unwilling to have.
On this episode of the Everyman Commentary Podcast Auguste has a dialogue with Copernican, a "concerned citizen and humble meme farmer who is quite tired of the BS present in modern politics”, as they discuss the Shiloh Hendrix case, the upcoming Midterms, and random other cultural hot spots happening right now in the wild landscape that is our contemporary culture.

While many people are either hating or enjoying Christopher Nolan’s latest film- The Odyssey- it is clear that by using some of the same actors, similar scenarios, as well as the same kind music (and sound editing problems!) in his films, the Odyssey has all the hallmarks of his style.
Another defining characteristic of Nolan’s films is the personality of his main characters, one that according to our own Evan McClanahan is not an asset. Does Nolan create characters that are enduring in how much we find them endearing? According to McClanahan, No!

One of my more deeply held beliefs is that conservative and right-wing behaviour can more often than not be explained as a series of trauma-responses (learned helplessness, Pavlovian conditioning, etc.). In particular, Conservative and right wing behaviour is a series of responses to a century of setbacks and defeats on every single terrain they've fought on, except maybe Spain (but that victory was very short-lived: look at the state of the country now). This is why I increasingly call many of these people "the raped" and consider their behaviour to be little better than that of a rape victim, forced endlessly to relive their trauma in public, embarrassing and sabotaging themselves and creating a horrible tear- and saliva-stained mess for others to clean up. They often pee and poo themselves as well.
Rod Dreher is a prime example of a raped conservative. It isn't just the histrionic behaviour and the lack of self-control, or the bizarre reveries about black boys at school and their "primitive root weiners" that nobody except a qualified psychiatrist should have to hear. Rod has now betrayed one of his closest and most important allies, JD Vance. This is typical raped behaviour.
Barely had the last ballot landed in the box in Hungary than Dreher was blaming Vance, specifically, for Orban's defeat, saying he should not have visited the country to offer the explicit support of the Trump administration during the election campaign. It wasn't that Orban was corrupt and ran a shit campaign and didn't actually make life better in Hungary after a decade in charge, and was too busy focusing on giving out money to grifters like Rod ($100,000 a year) and putting on stupid CPAC events.
Now Dreher is doing something even stronger. He's saying JD Vance is essentially a Nazi, or at least a Nazi enabler, because he made some pretty even-handed criticism of the Israel lobby and the ongoing hasbara operation on social media and elsewhere; and also because Dreher accuses Vance of taking "the Groypers" under his wing. Never mind that Nick Fuentes has made himself the avowed enemy of Vance--a literal never-Vancer--and groypers regularly taunt Vance for having an Indian wife etc. That doesn't matter.
My suspicion is that Dreher, of course, believes the Republican Party will not win in 2028 and Vance will not be the next president. He is torching his friendship with Vance for purely pragmatic reasons--for the reasons Conservatives almost always punch right as hard as they can, while only pawing in the most pathetic manner at their actual enemies on the left. Dreher is essentially signalling, "I'm not one of them! They're the bad ones and I spoke out about them well in advance!" This behaviour is analogous to the weedy little dork at school who cowers and points to other kids in a desperate attempt to avoid being punched himself.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
In 2020, @RodDreher warned wokeness was building a soft totalitarianism. He was right. His forthcoming book, Weimar America, comes with a new warning: the same spirit is rising on the right — this time carrying an antisemitism he says has gone from campus-fringe to everywhere in just a few years.
He told me why his hope for JD Vance has curdled into fear that Vance is repeating Franz von Papen's mistake: believing you can control the nihilistic coalition you think you're using.
He also told me why he tried to get Tucker Carlson an exorcist after Tucker said he'd been physically attacked by a demon, and why Tucker refused.
Dreher says the signs that killed Weimar Germany are already here: people who've stopped caring whether something's true, only whether it feels true. He's not sure this ends differently for America.

Today the World Cup wraps up and in case you haven’t noticed a lot of the players participating in the games are faith-filled Christians who are NOT ONE BIT SHY about expressing that faith to their fans and of course to the Lord, Jesus Christ. Something that is of course not unheard of in the States, but at times tends to be a little more controversial.
However, here is The Everyman’s Bradley Shumaker and avid football fan (that’s Soccer in here in America, Hahaha) with a rundown of some of the top tier players, coaches, and even referees that you may have seen during these games and how some of them express their faith on and off the field.

This is something the Medici and the Robber Barons understood. Our patrons want to pump out slop and sell subscriptions. And yes, it sucks for those of us conservatives who write for money.
There's an old joke about a policeman stopping a drunk who is searching for his lost car keys under a streetlamp.
He dropped them somewhere two blocks away, but the light is better over here.
Fighting marxism with superpacs, NGOs, and social media is a great way to lose slowly.
Why?
Because the real war is upstream.
The real war is fought in the culture.
People show up to politics, show up to the voting booth, show up to social media, with their opinions already formed by the shows they grew up watching, and the books they grew up reading.
The culture war for the mind of young Elon Musk was not won by a hundred million dollar superpac — it was won by a twelve-dollar Heinlein novel.
Because of that victory, the tech right understands the value of rockets.
But it has yet to fully grasp the value of Heinleins.
Big Tech stood by silently while the "Big Five" Manhattan-based publishing industry withered on the vine and its corpse was skinsuited by marxists.
And now, decades later, they are trying to build AI and go to space, while scratching their heads wondering why no one outside El Segundo and the Bay Area seems to understand their vision of the future, and just wants to steal all their stuff to pay for more Pepsi and Doritos.
You can stare all day and the rock-bottom awful marxist DEI slop that emerges from Hollywood and Manhattan these days and think that there's no way the left can win with this garbage.
But armchair warriors discuss tactics, while professional soldiers study logistics and supply.
No matter how bad woke media becomes, creating an alternative still costs money.
If a right-wing author has to self-publish, pay for his own cover artist, and market his own novels, while some lefty MFA from Bryn Mawr can pen a novel about having a lesbian affair with her professor's wife, and get a six figure "fellowship" for selling a few copies, and I wish I was making that up, then what this means is that left wing art is effectively free, or negative cost, to make.
Currently, the culture war is being fought on behalf of the right by broke middle class writers and artists, who have to fund themselves, bootstrap style, while their enemies own all the institutions and distribution networks.
It doesn't matter how poor your enemies' tactics are, if your soldiers have to buy their own uniforms and rifles.
When they lose, and they will unless the Tech Right starts helping, then the marxists are going to throw you in prison and take all your shit.
Don't want that to happen?
Fine.
Then you have to actually become a conservative, instead of just playing one on social media because you don't wanna pay more taxes.
You have to actually believe in the cause and contribute to the fight.
And it starts with art, culture, and stories.

My latest at The Everyman! It is based on both a recent incident I had at work - which is fairly common but this one was over the top- but also the rise of shoplifting by a subset of black youth. This is not to say that youths of other races, ages, classes or sexes don’t shoplift either - of course they do. My contention is that only when it comes to black youth crime do I hear excuses made and calls for leniency in holding them accountable.

Here once again is The Everyman OG himself Auguste Meyrat with another insightful and engaging interview.
On this episode of The Everyman Podcast Auguste speaks with author and blogger Georgi Boorman as the two have a frank conversation that goes past the low-hanging talking points and the cheap shots at young people that they are just lazy or wimps, and instead go over the major personal and social factors that keep men and women from forming not just lasting friendships but also lifelong unions in the form of marriage and family. An issue which, in light of the current birth dearth and coming demographic winter, is no small thing.
