• Bibi torched U.S. support for Israel for a generation

  It was the other way around: young Americans, who are now more diverse than ever before, identify with browner Palestinians more than whiter Jews. As you recall, Jews are the descendants of southern Syrians who took White wives.

• Tehran shuts Hormuz again as Iranian gunboats fire on tanker

  Third world people like Russians or Iranians view deception as intelligence, and like the Chinese, play “chess” with elaborate machinations. To them, agreeing to a ceasefire and then breaking it is not weakness, but strength. The rest of us see this as pointless drama. Now Trump gets his blank slate to bomb the Iranian oil industry, which probably should be done anyway since that oil money has kept international terrorism alive for the past half-century.

• Students expect their university will mishandle sexual misconduct, if they ever report it

  It is trendy to say “the purpose of a system is what it does,” but more accurately, any system collapses to what can actually be done when the warm feelings and vainglorious sentiments have faded. Handing important issues over to bureaucrats with no real life experience except summer jobs and BAs in easy fields is a terrible idea, and yet, it was an easy choice for lawmakers and voters. Now we see how that filters down through reality, which is that the bureaucrats bungle it every time. This means that the only men who are having sexual relationships are the reckless ones who do not really care if they get thrown out of college.

• The Supreme Court Ruled Against ‘Informal Censorship’ 6 Decades Ago but Officials Are Still Jawboning

  Jawboning means lawfare by government agencies that use the threat of lawsuit costs to browbeat and bully plaintiffs into doing what the agency wants, in shades of what happened to VDARE. We may be finally ready to have a conversation about court cases that take ten years and cost millions of dollars instead of taking two weeks and costing “mere” thousands. Allowing lawyers to take over the bureaucracy has had negative effects.

• Ugly fight breaks out at City Hall as police union and council trade blows

  Police union rep points out that if Houston sticks with its new rule and does not report traffic stops to ICE, and those illegal immigrants then go on to commit more crimes, the police will be “on the hook,” meaning that the cops get blamed for what the pols decide. In the bigger picture, this is more resistance lawfare from diversity hire politicians.

• Virginians will decide if the state redrafts its congressional voting map

  Trump just got his mandate to engage in strategic behavior against Democrats, who are trying to double the number of seats they have in Congress by redistricting existing voters, in addition to their comical bill that commands the state electors to choose the popular vote winner over the person who won the most state electors in presidential elections. America is heading to a showdown between the Republic, which limits both tyranny and democracy, and raw democracy, which always leads to tyranny.

• Iranian arsonist imprisoned in Britain for 20 years wins appeal against deportation after claiming he was gay and that he would take his own life if forced to return

  Under egalitarianism, money is taken from the successful and given to the less successful; also, under egalitarianism, whatever party is perceived to be stronger becomes responsible and the other party is absolved of all responsibility. In this system, when the criminal arsonist illegal alien threatens to kill himself, the egalitarian system must keep him around for free becuase otherwise they might get sued, deplatformed, un-elected, or simply suffer “the optics.”

• LA must pay $11.8M to man blinded by police projectile during Dodgers celebration

  See how broken egalitarianism and human rights are? A guy engaged in illegal activity gets retired simply because a police rubber bullet went high and hit his eye. There is no way forward with these rules binding our hands and feet. Stop using rubber bullets and start shooting rioters with full metal jackets. Make protesting edgy again!

• France opens the sensitive issue of slavery reparations

  Macaroon made his political career by doing the right signaling. Now he continues this, as the symbols diverge wildly from reality, which is what they do when you rely on crowd-sourced data over multiple iterations (time). Until democracy is replaced, this pattern will repeat ad infinitum. Today, it is reparations to slaves… tomorrow Holocaust victims… after that gypsies, or Amerinds… maybe Mongols later… we can always count on women, neurodivergents, Christians, the disabled, midgets, LGBT, meth-pocked trailer dwellers, and other minority groups to have a hand out too.

• The ‘Sex Recession’ Hitting Gen Z And What’s Quietly Killing Their Drive

  Having to disagree here, us realists say that what is killing the sex drive: sex is everywhere now, like fast food and television, but the risks (STIs, lawsuits, rape charges 30 years later) are still there. Why would you risk tens of thousands of dollars for a cheeseburger? Women are cheeseburgers now, thanks to casual sex and sexual liberation! For sex to stay sexy, it has to be rare and elusive.

• Italy: 7 suspects, all with African and Asian foreign backgrounds, arrested for gang raping 23-year-old woman in Cesena

  Italians, who are part African and Asian, grapple with guilt over Noticing that the whole immigrant thing seems to be a festival of rape, arson, and fraud.

• Germany news: Iran war not causing migration wave — Dobrindt

  In other words, Iranians expect things to get better not worse after the Trumpdozer levels the jihad regime.

• India: Parliament fails to pass women’s quota bill after delimitation uproar

  For some reason, India wanted more female legislators. This feels like further “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic” instead of tackling intransigent long-term issues.

• Navy denies ‘poor quality’ food on warships deployed to Middle East after viral photos of ‘rationed slop’

  Leftists circulated fake photos in order to manipulate the ordinary moron.

• Examining the impact of sanctioned elites on authoritarian realignment

  Scientists notice parallels between current time and 1930s, then spend time trying to figure out if international politics are the symptom or the cause (or merely correlative). Big point: internationalism itself creates chaos, where nationalism restores balance.

• Pro-Migration Economists: Migrants with Quasi-Amnesty Generate $20 Billion for Investors

  And there you have it. Cheap foreign labor drives up stocks and keeps Democrats in power, but the costs are passed on to the ordinary consumer. Eventually you run out of those, probably since they get raped to death and then taxed into poverty, and the society collapses into a third world ruin like Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Italy, or Vietnam.

• California coffee chain reinstates policy on Pride flags after swift backlash

  They wanted to tone down ideology and be neutral, but there is no neutrality in this war.

• Elon Musk’s Mistaken Call for a ‘Universal High Income’

  Musk made two great points: first, that the value of an economy is its productivity in goods and services, not the value of its currency regulated by demand; he agrees with Trump, Reagan, Hitler, and every other leader with an understanding of classical economics that supply-side economics beat demand-side economics; second, that under automation (AI + quantum + robotics) productivity will expand more than currency supply, which will make living much cheaper — except for housing of course — and mean that the existing social safety net or its consolidation into a UBI will provide more wealth to the individual. While he is correct for the first year, the long term fallout will be lots of purposeless people lounging around smoking weed and watching television; the population of brainless parasites will continue swelling as it has since the foundation of agricultural civilization. Musk’s solution will probably be for anyone with an IQ above 120 to go to Mars, where he will reinvent Semites by hybridizing Whites and Orientals with a few Africans. Perhaps a better path is to simply ship all of our useless or defective people to the third world, then cut off the aid. Not in a “last man standing gets to eat the rest” sense, but more of a recognition that for most people, a good hut and a living of subsistence farming and bushmeat foraging is the best it gets. They can all have Reddit accounts.

• Scoop: Inside the historic U.S.-Cuba negotiations in Havana

  The US finally admits that political disasters in Cuba are a “national security threat” to the USA. Trump championed JFK, who he agrees with on little, because of the Cuban issue which directly affects Florida residents, including those at Mar-a-Lago (Spanish for “discount hubcaps”).

• Higher intelligence in adolescence linked to lower mental illness risk in adulthood

  Higher IQ people are generally healthier, live longer, and are capable in more than one field but also seem to have lower mental illness, probably because high intelligence is the result of a complete human genome instead of one blighted by accumulated deleterious mutations and admixture, conditions that are common among the poor and third world.

• Yale Admits Self-Censorship and Political Bias Are Eroding Trust in Higher Education

  In the name of diversity, we threw higher education on the pyre and now find ourselves wondering how we rebuild all these institutions we sacrificed that it turns out served a vital role other than wealth transfer.
