𝗩𝗗𝗛: "𝗜'𝗩𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗔 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗔" Victor Davis Hanson has a theory about the DHS shutdown that I haven't seen anyone else articulate as cleanly — and I think he's right. It was never about ICE. Democrats couldn't make the ICE argument because half their party — Ilhan Omar, AOC, the Squad wing — doesn't want any immigration enforcement at all. They can't go on television and explain why shutting down TSA salaries for 39 days is a reasonable response to ICE agents arresting people with deportation orders. Because the honest answer is: we don't think anyone should be deported. And that position polls somewhere near the ocean floor. So what was this actually about? VDH's answer: the midterms. Democrats want to repeat what they did last year — hurt the economy, destroy the airline industry, make Americans angry at the party in power. Canceled flights. Six-hour security lines. Travelers sleeping on airport floors. People missing funerals and high school reunions and business meetings — all of it on camera, all of it attributable to chaos in Washington. They have no agenda. VDH says it plainly — he has never in his career seen a major political party with nothing to offer. No policy vision. No affirmative case for anything. No plan for housing, no plan for crime, no plan for energy, no plan for the border — unless the plan is no border. All they have left is sabotage. Make things bad enough that voters blame whoever is in charge. The problem: it isn't working. Harry Enten reported the worst Democratic polling numbers ever recorded. CNN's own reporters at Atlanta and Houston airports described scenes of near-celebration. An ICE agent in Houston was getting handshakes and thank-yous. A deal using pre-positioned reconciliation funds got TSA workers paid without a single Democratic vote. The strategy failed because Republicans didn't fold. And now Democrats are going home for Easter recess with nothing to show for 39 days of pain they inflicted on the American traveling public. 𝗡𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮. 𝗡𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗡𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆.

HOLY CR*P 🚨 Minnesota Rep Krista Knudsen says they just found out the state TURNED OFF tracking for money being sent overseas They turned it on for 2 weeks. Saw all the money leaving, and Democrats quickly SHUT OFF TRACKING to allow it to keep happening READ THAT AGAIN “Today in the fraud committee, the Department of Human Services testified that they haven't been tracking the IP addresses of money that's being literally flown out of our state and where it's going. They did turn on that reporting for 2 weeks, and they found that yes, a lot of those IP addresses were tied to overseas computers, and then they quickly shut it off after just 2 weeks of seeing where this money is actually going” “Every time we turn around, it's just more and more fraud scandals in our state”

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent. For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern. The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her. The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself. Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future. This is how ideological takeover works. A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs. It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to. Then it moves inward. It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt. At that point, the civilization turns on itself. Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system. They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them. And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left. The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself. The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.

As a former progressive, this is absolutely accurate and caused me endless frustration with my co-partisans. They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work. They hardly even have a concept of ideas working. Their entire evaluation function is based on social perception and emotionalism which is, in fact, profoundly selfish and unvirtuous. If you care more about feeling like/being seen as good than you do about results, you’re a selfish parasite. Hardly exclusive to the left, but it defines the leftist project in a way it doesn’t define any other political faction.

To: Admitted Students on Ivy Decision Day From: UATX Congratulations. Getting in was hard and you should be proud. Now here’s some unsolicited advice so you don’t waste the next four years. Go to class. We know this sounds obvious. But as the New York Times reported recently, Harvard students routinely skip class, rarely speak up when they're there, and focus on their devices instead of the discussion. Faculty say few students do enough preparation to contribute meaningfully. The average college student spends about 20 hours a week on class and studying combined. At UATX, we aim for 50. That’s the difference between a part-time commitment and a full-time job. You (or your parents) are about to spend upwards of $90K a year. If you don't show up, you're paying roughly $250 per skipped lecture for the privilege of sleeping in. Read the books yourself. Your generation is the first to arrive at college post-literate — raised on short-form video, dependent on algorithms, and increasingly incapable of sitting with a difficult text long enough to let it change your mind. Ninety percent of college students use AI academically. This makes you more reliant on the authority of others. Most professors will also stand between you and the text. They’ll tell you what Marx “really meant,” what Aristotle “failed to see,” as though an academic in 2026 has outsmarted minds that shaped civilizations. The good professors do the opposite: they put you in front of the book and they work with you to find what a great mind has to teach us directly. Find those professors, and read everything yourself. Say what you actually think. Seventy-three percent of conservative students report withholding their political views in class out of fear their grades will suffer. Our advice isn't political; it's intellectual. If you spend four years learning to say what's expected instead of what's true, you’ll graduate roughly where you started — just older, more credentialed, and more practiced at self-censorship. One study finds that nearly half of students show no measurable gains in “critical thinking” after two years in college. Keep this in mind as you make decisions about which professors to take and how to do your assignments. Taking a small hit on your paper to gain integrity and wisdom is usually worth it. Ask for real grades. Sixty percent of Harvard undergraduate grades are now A’s. Twenty-five years ago, it was 20%. It got so bad that the legendary Harvard professor, Harvey Mansfield, started giving students two grades: the official one for their transcript, and a private one reflecting what they actually earned. He called the official grades “ironic.” So here's a suggestion: Take your A, but also ask your professors for a “Mansfield grade” so that you know where you stand. And don’t avoid difficult courses to keep your transcript clean for law school. Get work experience before you graduate. Forty-two percent of recent college graduates are working jobs that don't require a degree. Many employers are projecting the next few years to be the worst college grad job market in years. A degree alone — even from an Ivy — is not a job guarantee. Seek out apprenticeships, internships, and real work starting freshman year. The students at UATX are connected with entrepreneurs and business leaders from day one. Many will graduate with four years of work experience alongside their degree. You can build something similar at your school, but you'll have to do it yourself. Understand how debt shapes your life. If you're paying full freight or even half, do the math with your eyes open. Your decision to take on debt will quietly reshape the trajectory of your adult life through countless small surrenders: the job you take because it’s safe instead of starting the company. The city you choose to live in. The relationship you delay and the kids you don’t have. For women, a $1,000 increase in student loan debt lowers the odds of marriage by 2% per month in the first four years after graduation. None of that shows up in the college brochure. If you're going to take on debt, treat it like the constraint it is from day one: save aggressively and make sure every dollar is buying something that will actually compound in your favor. Find the people who take school seriously. The best thing about a great school isn't the lectures or the library. It's the handful of professors and students who are genuinely there to learn — who read ahead, argue in good faith, and push you to be sharper. Find them. UATX is a small community of those who seek a serious education. At a larger university, you have to build this community yourself. * The most dangerous thing about an elite university is that it is very easy to do nothing for four years and still come out looking successful. The transcript will say you excelled. The diploma with the fancy crest will open certain doors. Your parents will be proud. And yet you will have coasted — through inflated grades, unread books, and borrowed opinions. Getting in is an accomplishment. Making the next four years worth it will be harder, and the right decisions will change everything. We wish you luck.

Incredible that it was only 66 years from the first controlled, powered flight to landing on the Moon!

An 83-year-old war veteran was murdered at this subway station by an illegal migrant criminal. It's no wonder many of us no longer feel safe taking the subway. Supporting the deportation of criminal migrants should not be controversial.

@afalkhatib @FleurHassanN Outstanding post! The best witnesses to and advocates against Islamist barbarism are those who have seen this monstrous threat to western values and freedoms up close. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and concerns.

When I became a citizen of the United States in 2014, on the basis of political asylum from the Gaza Strip and escaping Jihadi Islamism, I sincerely and seriously never thought that pro-Jihad, pro-Hamas, pro-terror, fascist, pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah, anti-civilizational dark forces would become a mainstream staple in American politics and discourse. Having a group of ignorant domestic terrorists with Hamas and Palestinian flags, hiding their faces and taking over public space outside the City Hall of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, is not only a grotesque sight, but it also demonstrates so much that has gone wrong. It is a condemnation of our country's higher education institutes, which have normalized violence, anti-Western ideologies, and embarrassing “post-colonial” narratives. This is a condemnation of a failed revisionist, neo-liberal immigration approach in which assimilation is frowned upon and viewed as bad and negative, coddling people with truly horrendous beliefs, ideologies, cultures, and backgrounds, instead of seeking to uplift and elevate them and their status. This is a condemnation of failed parenting, nonexistent community infrastructure to educate young people, failed leftist discourses, and moral bankruptcy. Remember that this has nothing to do with Palestine, for these “activists” ruined the “pro-Palestine” cause and are now seeking to latch on to any and every remaining filth that can vector their anti-human, anti-America, anti-Western, and anti-decent discourse and value system that can produce anything of meaning. Burning the American flag, while exercising your right to free speech, is the ultimate irony that only the United States of America affords to literal domestic terrorists, who are engaged in a subversive act against the very country and patriotic values that they seek to “dismantle.” Still, freedom of choice does not equal freedom from consequences. This cannot be normalized, as it unfortunately has been over the past two and a half years since Hamas’s October 7th attack. This is a domestic battle for our country’s values and future – it’s time to choose the direction you want this country to head in.

You glossed over an important point: >You die in your sleep *** Your abusers still face no consequences ***delete and replace with the following: - The immigrants that raped you repeatedly breath a sigh of relief - they celebrate that the one person that could get them imprisoned and deported is d**d - The administrators that pretended nothing happened breath a sigh of relief - they celebrate that the one person that could get them or their institution sued is d**d - The staff that ignored you and protected foreign, repeat, rap**ts breath a sigh of relief - they celebrate that the one person that could get them fired, sued or arrested is d**d - To some, mostly powerless citizen/subjects, you become a quiet monument to the failure of a state that was supposed to protect you - But to those in power and their NPC tools: an excellent example that euthanasia can be fully utilized to get rid of victims of malpractice. That it can be beneficial to neglect, and not help, a cancellable demographic, in order to get their body onto an organ-donor table. And finally, that they will be firmly in control the sooner they replace independent high IQ demographics with low IQ dependent demographics. Speed The Collapse.

A Seattle judge said we couldn't show the faces of the 33 Antifa & anti-Israel radicals who caused over $1 million in damage to the brand new engineering building at UW in May. So here are their faces & names: Tayler Hart, Max Rulff, Zachary Wallaced-Wells, Jade Wu, Jessica Schutz, Luisa Ortega Subdiaz, Ginger Newberry, Kimaya Mahajan, Gina Liu, Lea Keating, Akira Junyaprusert, Anna Hattle, Julia Fraczek, Cade Jackson, Jonas Piper, Ty Park, Lucy Zern, Tasbeet Iman, Ricardo Colon-Galvez, Roberta Collison, Ella Tunduwani, Zainab Chattha, Riley Centerwall, Catherine Brown, Brett Anton, Claire Berger, Yasmin Ahmed, Yafate Yared, Geneveve Konijisky, Finn Brown, Bailey Keen, Lucas Nichols-Mcauslan and Sam Sueoka. It was all a matter of public record long before the judge made the ruling. KOMO News made this handy collage. Please share

@JeremyTate41 I think it should be rededicated as the Museum of Government Fraud, Waste and Abuse.

The rapidly shrinking Department of Education is abandoning its headquarters, widely regarded as the ugliest building in DC. What should the building be used for now?

Politicians condemn each attack on Jews but do little to fight the ideologies that create the hostility, writes former UK prime minister Tony Blair. Read the full story here: bit.ly/4uQZJC8

“I have recurring nightmares of people chasing and killing me.” In a new interview, Israeli singer Eden Golan said she is still dealing with anxiety from her performance at the Eurovision 2024. “I’m always afraid. I look in every direction like a security guard.” The young singer received so many death threats ahead of Eurovision that she was forced to wear a wig in Malmö whenever she left her hotel. And the threats were so severe that she feared she could be shot on stage. She was under constant and heavy security, including 8 bodyguards and a helicopter. Since then, Eden says many of her performances have been met with hostile protests from the Free Palestine crowd, but Eurovision was by far the worst. “I’ve had recurring anxiety since Eurovision: I walk into a place, a restaurant or a show, and someone shoots me from behind. I have recurring nightmares of people chasing me and killing me. But I’m learning to live with it. No one will silence me anymore.” Never forget that Eden, only 20, feared for her life simply for singing.

Statement from the Gorman family in response to @GovPritzker: “We acknowledge Governor Pritzker’s recent comments regarding Sheridan’s murder and his statement that there were “real failures.” We appreciate that he has now, five days after our daughter, Sheridan's murder that he has finally spoken publicly about Sheridan. But Sheridan’s death cannot be reduced to a general “tragedy,” nor can it be explained away by broad references to failures somewhere else. Sheridan was a daughter, a sister, and a young woman whose life was taken in a way that should never have been possible. This was not abstract. It was preventable. We are not interested in political arguments or in watching responsibility shift from one place to another. If there were failures—as the Governor himself has acknowledged—then every one of them must be identified, examined, and addressed directly. The location of those failures matters less than the willingness to confront them honestly. “Our daughter is not a policy debate. She is a life that was taken, and that demands accountability.” “Calling this a tragedy is not enough. There must be a full and transparent accounting of what went wrong.” “We will not allow Sheridan’s name to be used in political arguments—but we will insist that her loss leads to real answers and real change.” We expect leadership that is willing to face difficult truths without deflection. We stand ready to engage with any public official, including the Governor, who is committed to ensuring that what happened to Sheridan does not happen again to another family.

After Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman “senseless violence,” her family releasing a statement, “We acknowledge Mayor Johnson’s statement five days after our daughter, Sheridan's murder and his condolences to our family, as well as his recognition of the work of the Chicago Police Department. But what happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to a “senseless tragedy,” nor can it be explained in general terms about public safety. Sheridan was our daughter. She was 18 years old. She was doing something entirely normal—walking near her campus with friends. She should be here. This was not random. It was not inevitable. And it cannot be treated as though it were. We appreciate the efforts of law enforcement in making an arrest. But safety is not defined by how quickly a case is solved after the fact. It is defined by whether a young woman like Sheridan is protected in the first place. “Our daughter was not in the wrong place at the wrong time. The system failed her.” “Calling this ‘senseless’ is not enough. There must be a clear and honest accounting of what went wrong.” “We are not interested in rhetoric. We are asking for accountability.” We will not allow Sheridan’s life to be reduced to a talking point or a generalization. We expect leadership that is willing to confront hard truths and ensure that what happened to her does not happen again. We stand ready to engage with the Mayor and any public official willing to approach this with seriousness, transparency, and a commitment to real change.”

@td_nash Never changed.
