We persist in romanticizing the native peoples of America. The truth is far different.

Mackubin Owens - "...archaeology yields evidence of prehistoric massacres more severe than any recounted in ethnography"

David Black Mastro added a photo to the album: Lessons from History

For example, at Crow Creek in South Dakota, archaeologists found a mass grave containing the remains of more than 500 men, women, and children who had been slaughtered, scalped, and mutilated during an attack on their village a century and a half before Columbus's arrival (ca. A.D. 135)...

• Michael Smith - Donald Sensing As I reminded someone the other day, history proves that superior civilizations always overcome inferior civilizations. It is the way of things.

'A historic moment': Trump gets Gaza deal as Dems continue shutdown * WorldNetDaily * by Philip Wegmann, Real Clear Wire: 

As members of the Cabinet met at the White House to celebrate the beginning of the end of the war in Gaza, a product of the peace deal that Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised as "a historic moment in the history of our country," the Senate prepared to vote. It was the seventh vote to reopen the federal government, and it failed, 54-45, along the same predictable lines as all the other attempts before it.

Another Phony 'Conservative' Gets It All Wrong About Why Red States Are Winning in the Education Space

"When Democrats are at their best, they are performing one job: reducing inequality and making American life more just". - Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

David Brooks is the faux-conservative columnist at the New York Times...
This week, Brooks is musing about why red states are making educational gains while blue states are languishing.
No Duh. 

Brooks' analysis does not even come close to the why, but he gives it the old college try.

When Democrats are at their best, they are performing one job: reducing inequality and making American life more just. That’s what Franklin Roosevelt did with the New Deal and Lyndon Johnson tried to do with the war on poverty. That’s what Bill Clinton and Barack Obama did with their education reform policies...

No, Mr. Brooks: when Democrats are at their best, they ruin the country, and nowhere has this become more apparent than in their wholesale co-opting of the education apparatus with 

• critical race theory, 
• gender ideology, 
• diversity, equity, and inclusion, and 
• removing civics requirements so that children are not only unmoored from themselves and any sense of identity or purpose, but have no sense of belonging to the country in which they live...

Watch: Sen. Kennedy Lists Worst Items Dems Demand Funded Before They'll Reopen Government - Zambian Circumcision, Classes for Male Prostitutes, Etc.: 

“We found $500,000 of American taxpayer money for electric busses in Rwanda. We found $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti.

“I kid you not. I’m not making this up. It was in the budget under President Biden. We took it out,” Kennedy explained while again mentioning AOC — this time by name. Fox News reported Monday, Kennedy believes that despite Schumer’s role as a Democratic leader, AOC is actually the one responsible for these demands playing into the shutdown.

“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and the socialist wing, the loon wing of the Democratic Party, says, ‘We’re going to shut down the government until you put it back in.'”

As the supply of young people dries up, towns built around America’s higher education system will learn what happens when the students stop coming - kyla scanlon
America is facing its next Rust Belt moment — but it’s not our steel mills shutting down, it’s our education mills. 

• The First Rust Belt was shaped by deindustrialization, globalization, and a changing demand for natural resources. 
• The Second Rust Belt is shaped by falling birth rates, eroded institutional trust, and an aging population. 

But the local impact could be the same: entire regions hollowed out, communities that feel abandoned, and another generation left behind by the very institutions that promised them a future.

What steel was to the 20th century, education has been to the 21st — an economic engine now running out of fuel...

Another Illegal Immigrant Trucker Busted, but the Most Infuriating Part Is His Name

Here at RedState, we have reported on the incidences of illegal immigrants obtaining commercial driver's licenses (CDL) in mostly blue states, and many of these drivers are completely unqualified to be behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler. - Becky Noble

...Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, who attempted to make an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway in August, killing three people as their minivan slammed into the trailer Singh was driving. 

• It was later revealed that he could barely speak English and read road signs.

Now there is an added wrinkle to this issue. 

• On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of Anmol Anmol. He is, surprise, an illegal immigrant from India...
• The name on his New York state-issued commercial driver's license was...wait for it..."No Name Given Anmol." 

That's right, apparently, it was perfectly okay with the powers that be in New York that Mr. Anmol did not have to give his full name to obtain a CDL...

The Urban Crime Spike Is Real - WSJ

A national victimization survey confirms Trump’s claim that U.S. cities have grown more dangerous. -Jeffrey H. Anderson

• President Trump says crime is rampant in U.S. cities, while his critics assert that it is under control and dropping. 

Mr. Trump has sent National Guardsmen to select cities to fight crime, while an Associated Press report asserts that the president’s “rhetoric” mirrors that of “conservatives going back decades who have denounced cities, especially those with majority nonwhite populations or led by progressives, as lawless or crime-ridden and in need of outside intervention.”

• So, have our cities become crime-ridden and unpleasant, or are they safe and livable?

Newly released results from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey go a long way toward answering those questions. 

• The survey finds that the rate of violent crime in urban areas increased by 61% from 2019 to 2024.
• That crime spike was found only in cities...

Lavish funding: BLM activist to plead guilty in case involving diverting taxpayer money to her family * WorldNetDaily * by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller News Foundation

Lavish funding: BLM activist to plead guilty in case involving diverting taxpayer money to her family * WorldNetDaily * by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Faith Shields-Dixon, founder of the Faith4Hope Scholarship Fund, will plead guilty to three felony counts of theft out of five, InForum reported, citing a plea agreement she signed Oct. 1. The deal follows years of allegations of financial mismanagement by BLM leaders after their organizations received lavish funding. Prosecutors accused Shields-Dixon of accepting $350,000 in grant money for the Faith4Hope Scholarship Fund, which was meant to assist low-income families, and directing $124,000 of it to businesses run by family members. Shields-Dixon told InForum that her sentencing hearing will reveal what precise illegal actions she will confess to.

Breitbart Business Digest: Six Months After Liberation Day, Every Economic Prediction About Trump's Tariffs Was Wrong

How Economists’ Central Anti-Tariff Prediction Collapsed - John Carney

What we’re actually seeing is something economists have long theorized as “optimal tariff theory.“ 

• A country with a globally dominant consumer market can employ tariffs to force foreign manufacturers to lower prices to maintain their exports. 
• It can also successfully pressure other countries to reduce their own import barriers by threatening even higher tariffs. 
• Finally, the household sector can force a redistribution from the corporate sector by refusing to accept the pass-through of tariff costs.

Today we look at the rest of the anti-tariff case and how it fares even worse under scrutiny...

Democrats Are Promising to Weaponize the Government Against Trump and His Allies

Democrats aren't even hiding it anymore. - Matt Margolis 

They're openly threatening to weaponize the government against Donald Trump and anyone who dares stand with him if they manage to claw their way back into power next year. 

• This isn't speculation or paranoia. 
• They're saying the quiet part out loud, and we'd better start taking them seriously.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just laid it all out..

"So there's two things to keep in mind here," Jeffries said. "First of all, there's accountability for the corruption and the chaos that Donald Trump has unleashed on the American people from the very beginning of his presidency on January 20 that should be tied directly to the Supreme Court and the six right-wing justices...
Jeffries continued, “Problem number two, of course, is the fact that there are so many different corrupt sycophants within the Trump administration...and there will be accountability with the next administration, if not before, when Democrats take back control of the House of Representatives."

Rep. Eric Swalwell from California was singing the same tune on CNN last month..
