Babe wake up, the 22-year C-section follow up data just dropped, and it’s *much* worse than the public was led to believe. 1 in 3 American babies are born this way.


President Trump on birthright citizenship: "You step in our country and all of a sudden you're citizen — this was not meant for Chinese billionaires — this was meant for the babies of slaves."

My take: Attacks on civil society and higher ed continue and the media is fascinated that @Harvard will replace many A grades with A- grades. Sure, "the grades are too damn high," but is this really the issue on which to focus? cnn.com/2026/05/21/us/…



can we talk about how friggin weird and blinkered this picture of "abundance liberalism" is? You will live in a massive high-rise in a dense cluster of high-rises, and all the open space will be out in the farmland or dense, inaccessible wilderness. I think I need to launch Cul-de-Sac Suburban Abundance.


.@MegynKelly on the Trump "weaponization" slush fund: "Like so much of the stuff that Trump does that's controversial that we may or may not love, it started with Barack Obama. And the same media that's now ripping Trump to shreds for doing it said NOTHING when Barack Obama started it, and was the one to cross the norm and create the new normal where our government officials do this to us. So I really have no tolerance for their cries and protestations about what Trump is doing, that - unlike those other bullshit things Obama did - actually DO have the chance of helping someone who's actually been hurt."

Same for Das Kapital.





Have you considered the possibility that all the educated people oppose Trump because he actually sucks???


NEW: Harvard faculty voted to impose a roughly 20 percent cap on A grades beginning fall 2027, approving the College’s most aggressive attempt to reverse grade inflation and reshape academic standards. @abbysgerstein and @amannmahajan report. thecrimson.com/article/2026/5…

Tucker Carlson suggests that the election was stolen from Thomas Massie because of “mail-in ballots.” Gallrein won both early voting and Election Day. Tucker is a conspiratorial liar.




The founders were not immigrants. Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 8 were born outside the American colonies. They were born in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales--all subjects of the British crown, until they declared independence. The "nation of immigrants" line isn't just ahistorical, it's liberal narrative propaganda meant to justify mass Third World immigration. It has no place on the right, not anymore.
