Ever notice that no one claims religion causes war anymore, Richard [Dawkins]? Yeah, that wasn’t The New York Times or Nature. They were literally quoting me.

[From “Sink the Ships or Don’t Survive”]
All of the politicians profess to be horrified by a combat veteran pointing out the completely obvious about the invasion of Britain
The commander who led the land operation to liberate the Falklands has triggered a furore by saying that boats carrying migrants across the Channel should be machine-gunned
‘I would shoot them,’ Major-General Julian Thompson told a documentary about mass immigration to Britain[…]
The government not only won’t stop them, the government is aiding and abetting them. So of course there will be a revolution, and war, because that is part of the national cycle once foreigners start taking control of the reins of influence and power
This isn’t anything new. It wasn’t new when the Goths took refuge from the Huns in the Eastern Roman Empire, and within forty years had killed the emperor and sacked Rome. It wasn’t even new when the Israelites escaped Egypt and entered the land of Canaan
There are always those who invite the invaders and welcome the refugees and do their best to suppress the national reaction. Those who start the conflagrations are responsible for the inevitable violence, not those who put them out. It’s just irritating that everyone pretends to take their idiotic arguments seriously when almost everyone knows better
Immigration is war. Immigration has ALWAYS been war
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: ‘Opening fire on migrant boats would be completely wrong. ‘I understand people’s anger at migrant crossings but we cannot shoot at people. There is another way to end this
Britain has certainly fallen a long, long way from “we shall fight them on the beaches!” What a sad, despicable little place it has become
[From “Putin Wins Again”]
Vladimir Putin is far more popular with Russians than Trump is with US citizens or any of the unelected EU sock-puppets are with the various countries they supposedly “lead”:
Judging by the preliminary results, Russia’s new State Duma will look remarkably similar to the old one, after this weekend’s elections. Yet amid dramatically different domestic and international circumstances, that continuity is perhaps the most notable result of all. The 2026 result has produced some changes, but the new is considerably less significant than the familiar
Turnout, at around 57%, was the highest in a State Duma election for a decade, although hardly unprecedented as participation exceeded 60% four times in earlier elections
United Russia was the clearest beneficiary, taking almost 58% of the party-list vote, up sharply from 49.8% in 2021. Even so, it remained below the party’s record 64.3% in 2007, during Vladimir Putin’s second presidential term
The Communists again established themselves as Russia’s principal opposition party, comfortably finishing second with almost 14%, but that represented a significant retreat from their roughly 19% in 2021, and was far removed from the turbulent 1990s, when the party could attract almost a quarter of the electorate
Remember, everything – everything – about Clown World is fake, gay, and retarded. Which is why their fantasies about the people rising up against Vladimir Putin are little more than the projection of their own quite realistic fears about the people of the slave states of Europe rising up against the apparatchiks in Paris, Berlin, and London
[From “The Birth Rate Discourse is Retarded”]
Because no one, on either side of the permissible political discourse, is willing to address the obvious:
Here’s why this topic is so difficult to talk about intelligently in public:
The biggest predictor of fertility decline appears to be the education and employment of women[…]
Notice how even those willing to address the unspeakable can’t bring themselves to admit the obvious and appeal to the anecdotal evidence of that one woman in the office with a college degree who has three kids. The correct diagnosis does provide an obvious solution, or at least, an obvious part of the solution. But when we observe that there isn’t an advanced society that isn’t actively committed to making the problem worse, then it’s readily apparent that the problem will not be solved, that indoor plumbing and other luxuries of the late 20th century will be reserved to the elite, and the problem of excessive education is a self-solving one, as anyone who has spoken to a recent female college graduate can readily attest
Progress not only isn’t inevitable, it is a self-refuting concept. And 95 percent of the human race has zero need of a college education. Hell, my biggest single regret is not dropping out of college during the winter break of my sophomore year
And for those who insist that they found one study by one female scientist that proves college-educated women are having more children than non-college educated women – and I’ll bet she only counted women who completed their degrees and not those who attended between one and seven years of college without doing so – I would merely point out that the thirteenth year of education is not the dividing line for fertility collapse anywhere on the planet
