Unremitting wrongdoing is more likely to be pardoned than occasional, abnormal iniquity. - Polybius on the Aetolians

He’s never done that. He’s a racer. He made a mistake.”

Second- or third-generation foreign immigrants may appear outwardly to be entirely assimilated, but they often constitute a weakness in two directions. First, their basic human nature often differs from that of the original imperial stock. If the earlier imperial race was stubborn and slow- moving, the immigrants might come from more emotional races, thereby introducing cracks and schisms into the national policies, even if all were equally loyal. Second, while the nation is still affluent, all the diverse races may appear equally loyal. But in an acute emergency, the immigrants will often be less willing to sacrifice their lives and their property than will be the original descendants of the founder race. Third, the immigrants are liable to form communities of their own, protecting primarily their own interests, and only in the second degree that of the nation as a whole. - Sir John Glubb

🚨 I asked American-Muslim men in Dearborn who they would support if America went to war against an Islamic nation, their response: “We would support our brothers in Iraq… we would not defend America” A Christian American steps in and says, “anybody who supports another nation needs to live in that nation” Is the enemy already inside?

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

How ironic it will be if a brown American like Vivek actually helps to fix education and raise the prospects of white kids, while all the professional whiteys on X continue their idle boasting about how they too could get us to the moon, “just like some white dudes did in 1969.”

I don’t think these losers understand how I react to this abuse. I react in the way the Duke of Kent would react to the caterwauling of a street heckler. I don’t seek a duel; I’m simply entertained by the stupidity. My wife tells me I enjoy these plebeian tantrums way too much.

The impression that it will always be automatically rich causes the declining empire to spend lavishly on its own benevolence, until such time as the economy collapses, the universities are closed and the hospitals fall into ruin.

It's pretty mind-boggling that something like 60%—yes 60%, yes $6 trillion out of $10 trillion—of the U.S. federal budget is just spent on various kinds of welfare, pensions, subsidies, and entitlements.

Y'all really think a 34 year old has the wisdom & experience to be the mayor of New York ?
