If Magyar delivers on these promises then he will replace Orban's national-populism with a true blueprint for European nationalists. Immigration restrictionist (especially when it comes to "guest workers") and pro-EU, without vulgar populist messaging or foreign associations.

So we managed to get inside to rape alarm illegal migrant hotel in Dumfries, and it is luxury and a half

just spent 2 weeks in china. went into it thinking we're cooked. came back more bullish on america than ever. here's why: 1. chinese citizens are way more chronically online. on the subway, train, anywhere, literally everyone is glued to their phone. gaming, short form, wechat. "don't walk and look at your phone, it's dangerous!" announcements flood crowded areas. their tiktok isn't any better, its still garbage, soft-core porn, etc. 2. everyone's using AI — deepseek, kimi, doubao. but nobody's afraid of losing their job to it. here it feels like there's an existential crisis every week. in china, nothing. i think the CCP won't let companies mass-layoff workers. great for short-term stability. terrible for long-term competitiveness on a global scale. 3. china doesn't produce weirdos. i sat in on a class at tsinghua (china's MIT). not one student spoke unless the professor read their name out loud. no questions. no debate. chinese education produces world-class executors, not contrarians. it does make it a safer place to live though. 4. china doesn't have christianity but it has something america doesn't have: a shared story everyone believes in. every person age 25-70 watched their country go from abject poverty to skyscrapers in one lifetime. that kind of collective proof has a deep unifying effect. compare that to how divided we are right now. america has a huge meaning vacuum that needs to be filled. nevertheless, i return back to my home in america reinvigorated. because everything i saw confirms one thing: china optimizes. america innovates. and the innovators always win.

This is what a breakout from a 19 year base has produced...so far. A 500% move. The base in silver is more than 2X larger. Now you know why I say $250 silver will be a piece of cake and $500 isn't out of the question.

I’ve said most of this stuff before, but it becomes incredibly striking when I think about how impossibly lucky I was to have the parents I did. I watched young boys only half as fidgety or distractible as me get put on medications and turned into zombies because a teacher got irritated that they weren’t paying attention in class and the parents just listened without question when the stupid hag teacher said that there was something “wrong” with them. They’re young boys, of course they’re going to get bored when you force them to sit under fluorescent lights for 6-8 hours per day.
