FLASHBACK: Groyper confronts Vivek Ramaswamy for hiding his Hindu faith from a Christian crowd👀 "Hinduism is a wicked pagan religion. There's only one name under heaven that can give you salvation."

it turns out that to fix hollywood, they just needed a new crop of gen Z directors to come in and make movies about what life is actually like in 2026 and boot the epic millenials making reddit marvel slop from the industry. dont let the door hit your chungus ass on the way out!

Be Gillian Anderson, the actress. Use celebrity platform to solicit anon smut from lady fans. Collect 1M words of anon smut. Publish first of several planned books containing the anon smut. Become insta-NYT bestseller. Get toasted on every single female podcast. Announce next book in the series. Pre-orders of epic proportion. Setting aside the fact NY Trad gave up on men in the 2010s, I have to applaud Ms. Anderson for a spectacularly light-lift effort with *very* high yield. She knew precisely who the audience would be, and ironically is selling the audience's own material back to itself. It's not even Anderson coming up with the content. She is just the famed launderer of ladies' dirty self-inserts. Making the circuit and collecting the checks.

I feel deep unease that we have granted citizenship to so many people who think so little of America.

BREAKING: In a 2-1 ruling, a federal appeals court finds the Trump administration policy to ban transgender individuals from serving in the US military is unconstitutional. From Judge Roger Wilkins who wrote the majority opinion: "The Hegseth policy is both arbitrary and based upon animus, and for those reasons the Policy violates Plaintiff-Appellees' constitutional right to equal protection of the law."

New DHS memo directs ICE to enforce rarely-used tools against asylum claims, pursue penalties against migrant fraudsters and disciplinary action against the lawyers who represent them. This could deter many asylum applications and make immigration lawyers rethink their cases.

This June, the USCCB will consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Notre Dame joins in this act of devotion as we look to the Heart of Christ as the source of all hope and the model of a love that embraces every person. Ave Crux, Spes Unica

This is the limitation of the IQ-centered immigration argument, and I say this as someone who has written about IQ for years. Let us grant the central point. IQ differences exist within India, including between caste groups. Brahmins are more cognitively selected than lower-caste populations, but this does not make their average “European,” nor does it magically raise it to 100 by rhetorical convenience. Even if one foreign population were more intelligent than another, and Indians as a whole are not more intelligent than White Americans, that still does not establish America’s obligation to admit them. A nation is not a testing center, nor an employment agency. It does not exist to scour the world for useful outsiders and then reorder itself around their admission. Its first duty, and this is a sacred one, is to its own people. In this context, that means the historic American people: the White, European-descended people whose blood, sweat, and tears made this nation possible, and whose continued sacrifice still sustains it. The economy is legitimate only insofar as it serves the people and preserves the nation they made possible. A people is not merely a population within a state. It is the living substance from which a nation takes form, in a concrete racial and historical sense. The economy exists as a tool of national life, not as a master before which the nation must kneel. When economic utility becomes a justification for demographic transformation, it ceases to serve the nation and becomes an instrument against it. The question is not whether a potential immigrant group is intelligent or economically useful. The question is whether its admission strengthens the existing American people and preserves the nation as a distinct historical inheritance. The mass admission of Indians, or of any population fundamentally dissimilar to the founding stock of the nation, does not. American excellence is not an abstraction, nor is it the product of economic machinery. It is the accumulated expression of a people carried across generations. To replace that people is to sever the nation from the source of its own greatness. This is where the IQ argument collapses. It treats the problem as one of degree rather than kind, as if the only concern were admitting more or less capable foreigners. The deeper problem is mass demographic transformation itself. Better screening may produce a more competent foreign population, but competence does not resolve the political question, which is inseparable from the demographic one. Selection may improve the quality of a foreign slave caste, but it does not change the nature of the displacement now occurring in America and throughout the West. It only makes that displacement more efficient, and thus harder to reverse. A nation that accepts this logic has already forgotten what it exists to defend. It has mistaken itself for an economy with a flag, and its people for inputs in a labor market. But a nation is not an economic platform. It is a living inheritance, carried by a people across generations. Its purpose is to secure the future of its own people and preserve their posterity, not to manage their replacement with better paperwork. Its first obligation, and the one it has spent decades betraying, is to the American people themselves. No screening regime, however selective, can alter the essential question: whether America remains the inheritance of its historic people, or becomes an administrative territory open to anyone who can be made economically useful. This is the battle for the soul of the nation. Those who argue only for “higher quality” foreign replacements, measured by IQ, economic utility, or any other managerial metric, have already accepted the logic of replacement. They are not defending the nation. They are merely negotiating the terms under which it is being dissolved.

That feeling when your knowledge about how average IQ varies with caste rank in India stops being peculiar arcana and suddenly becomes deeply relevant to US domestic politics... Anybody who has studied the matter knows that castes in India have been maintaining almost perfect endogamy for thousands of years. About the only significant category of exceptions is that if you have an exceptionally beautiful daughter you *might* succeed in getting her taken as a concubine by a higher-caste man, so their offspring might jump a rank. With no significant gene flow between jatis, divergences in important traits like IQ and time preference not only don't smooth out, but actually amplify due to genetic drift and differing selective pressures. Highest-caste Indians have an IQ distribution a lot like Europeans. Low-caste Indians...don't. They're not quite as genetically handicapped as the dimmest populations in sub-Saharan Africa, thankfully, but the spread is wide. This doesn't mean all low-caste Indians are stupid; Gaussian distributions don't work that way. It does mean that importing 10,000 low-caste Indians has very different implications for the host society then importing 10,000 Brahmins. Segue to the recent news stories about American families getting killed by illiterate Indian truck drivers doing crazy stupid things on the roadways. Those truck drivers are not Brahmins. This is a recent phenomenon because, until one of our political parties decided to import the entire Third World for vote-farming purposes, we were cream-skimming India. Now we're not, and this makes a serious difference.
