"If you want the American experiment to end, if you want to have a society crumble and collapse because it's led by people who hate it, that's all the Democrats can offer — the politics of self-hatred, self-loathing, and self-destruction," says @StephenM. "If you believe in the Golden Age, if you believe that America's best days are still ahead, there's only one choice that you have to make — and that's to support the Republican Party."
.@StephenM on midterms polling: "The purpose of publishing these suppression polls is designed to demoralize people, to convince people that it's not worth continuing the fight to save and rescue their country."

The Trump Administration is the sole government of a Western nation-state to successfully adopt a large-scale remigration program. The only one.

Watch the latest episode of Restoring Order!
Who's winning the Iran war? I'm joined by @thomasbsauer, a former Navy Special Operations Officer, for a wide-ranging discussion on Epic Fury. (2:32) Tom's background (14:29) Are we winning in Iran? (18:37) Do normal Americans benefit from empire? (32:58) Is the Strait of Hormuz open? In the second half of the show (link in reply), we continue our discussion of the Strait. We then switch gears to discuss the Iranian regime. While not an explicit goal, the war's proponents obviously desire the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. Are we anywhere near regime change? We then discuss Israel's role in the war. Was the Jewish State the sole reason President Trump took us into Iran? Is Israel controlling the president with Epstein blackmail, as some, such as Joe Kent, have speculated? Toward the end of the show, we consider the political ramifications stemming from the Iran war. Are the Republicans screwed in midterms thanks to Epic Fury? Tune in to find out.

"... against the very concept of 'civilization', which they see as a European invention." nitter.cf/arctotherium42/status/…
Replying to @arctotherium42
The rioters (remember, Arab immigrants and their descendants) see themselves as soldiers in a long war against France, Europe, and even civilization itself. Recall that the author is on their side.

Very basic political knowledge most people don’t seem to grasp. “Just end the program!” Impossible in the current climate. Over half the GOP would block it. Trump has bureaucratically neutered it and continues to neuter it more. These things take time.

Zero understanding of basic civics - how exactly could he overturn H-1B, which is codified in law - needs 60 votes in senate to pass it. What Democrats will cross aisle to do so? Just pointless signalling

Hamilton County GOP Chair Mario Massillamany denied that he played a prominent role in Paul's termination. But multiple sources familiar and text messages obtained exclusively by Blaze News tell a different story. Read Paul's exclusive account of events and our tumultuous interview with Massillamany, which the chairman ended when asked about DEI, below:
1/ I wanted to give a career update for my friends and any potential conservative groups looking for an employee. This Tuesday, September 29th, I was fired by the Indiana Republican Party for making an OK symbol with my fingers. Yes, seriously. (1/8)

French domestic intelligence report saying these riots were organized from LFI HQ basically confirmed my first point. Also says that they expect Le Pen to win.
Freshly baked conspiracy theory about this: - Antifa/etc are doing this as a dress rehearsal for what they plan to do when Marine is elected - Macron is allowing it to go forward for the same reason

Here is a nice illustration of the phenomenon, where a random incident involving a journalist in Brussels brings to the surface the tension between the official narrative about immigration and reality in Europe, producing cognitive dissonance and even guilt that require a conscious effort of self-rectification on his part in a sort of internal struggle session to restore balance. I think future generations will find this fascinating and be amused that we didn't see the similarities between that kind of socio-psychological process and similar phenomena in totalitarian societies of the past.
This paper is really good and important to understand the late Soviet Union, but I think it's also very useful to understand public opinion in liberal democracies. Indeed, I think Shlapentokh overestimated the extent to which this phenomenon depends on *state* repression, because it's also ubiquitous in liberal democracies. If you're specifically interested in the Soviet Union though, A Normal Totalitarian Society: How the Soviet Union Functioned and How It Collapsed by the same author is excellent.

There's a certain type of Midwesterner that knows the value of the pallid marriage of purple and orange on a deathly silent winter night. It is one of the purest forms of existence in the great North.

Every time you say “corporate media,” you are revealing how deeply American communism has infected your brain. Actually, the problem is the reverse: these are not profit-oriented, unprivileged organizations. They are privileged external arms of the deep state
Large swaths of corporate media exist at this point primarily to propagandize and radicalize subsets of the population into supporting the liquidation of national sovereignty. Willfully omitted by the CNN propagandists is that these are minors who cartels have recently tried to smuggle across the Southwest Border but who were rescued by Border Patrol. These minors will now be safely and humanely reunited with their families by dedicated public servants who have devoted their lives to combatting child trafficking. It is because of the efforts of these public servants that there is no longer a raging UAC (“unaccompanied alien child”) catastrophe — the Trump Administration swiftly, urgently and righteously ended the child trafficking nightmare. Between ten to twenty thousand children a MONTH were successfully smuggled by cartels into the US under Biden, who worked with taxpayer NGOs to deliver the smuggled children to unknown adults in the US, whereupon they disappeared. The NGOs then submitted knowingly fraudulent asylum claims to try to keep the children from ever going home or seeing their families again. These same Democrat-NGO networks for cartels were also ruthlessly exploited by TDA and MS-13 to insert gang members into the United States and violent criminals into our high schools (automatically allowed in merely by claiming to be 17), subjecting innocent American children to unspeakable horrors. It was one of the darkest of many dark chapters of the Biden era. The Trump Administration put the child traffickers out of business and CNN considers this a great tragedy to be urgently reversed. New depths of “journalistic” depravity and immortality.

The US State Department lobby used to display the flags of the roughly 200 countries with which the US maintains diplomatic relations. Now, it displays 200 American flags, to remind State Department employees who they work for.

Not too late for Trump to inspire young people with a bold Five Year Plan of replacing all the slave labor in Our Economy with agents, robots and Americans. Just stop issuing or renewing H-1Bs. Debank helots, then prosecute their employers. Teach the meth heads to hang drywall
