Is ’white flight’ a slow-motion form of ethnic cleansing?

‘A Recipe for Idiocracy’

For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. - Rose Horowitch

• Schools across the country have been lowering standards and removing penalties for failure. 

The results are coming into focus.

• Five years ago, about 30 incoming freshmen at UC San Diego arrived with math skills below high-school level. 
• Now, according to a recent report from UC San Diego faculty and administrators, that number is more than 900—and most of those students don’t fully meet middle-school math standards. 

Many students struggle with fractions and simple algebra problems. 

Last year, the university, which admits fewer than 30 percent of undergraduate applicants, launched a remedial-math course that focuses entirely on concepts taught in elementary and middle school...

Billions stolen: Report charges biggest funding source for Somali terror network is Minnesota taxpayers * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Billions stolen: Report charges biggest funding source for Somali terror network is Minnesota taxpayers * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The state, under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, who was on board in Kamala Harris' catastrophically failed 2024 presidential bid for her party, already is "drowning" in fraud. "Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots," the report said.

Enforcing Immigration Laws Is Not the Moral Equivalent of the Holocaust

Whence cometh the conviction, in America and even more in Britain and Europe, that open borders is the only moral immigration policy? - Michael Barone 

• As I wrote recently, careful projections of the illegal population estimate that it peaked at about 12 million in 2007, fell to about 10.5 million in 2019, then increased by about 4 million during the Joe Biden administration, which essentially opened the borders to the point of paying for illegals to live in New York’s Roosevelt Hotel, two short blocks from where Jamie Dimon’s JPMorganChase was constructing its $3 billion office tower.

The impetus for this policy came from something other than the usual elite economic argument that, as population growth is slowing, advanced countries need more workers to maintain economic growth.

• That something else can be summarized in the phrase “Orange Man Bad.” If Trump wants to stop people at the border, then we shouldn’t stop anyone there.
• There is another element here, seen more prominently in Europe. And that is the conviction that barring people from your country who are different, in ancestry or customs, from the preexisting population is invidious discrimination...

The rise of the ‘performative male:’ How young men are experimenting with masculinity online.

Across TikTok and university campuses, young men are rewriting what masculinity looks like today, sometimes with matcha lattes, Labubus, film cameras and thrifted tote bags. - Jillian Sunderland

The “performative man” is a new Gen Z term describing young men who deliberately craft 

• a soft, 
• sensitive, 
• emotionally aware aesthetic, 
• signalling the rejection of “toxic masculinity.”...

Updated: Ric Grenell Warns NYT to Expect Lawsuit If It Does Not Correct Sen. Whitehouse's False Story

We have a balanced budget, we’ve raised a whopping $117 MILLION under @realDonaldTrump - and FIFA has paid millions plus covered all expenses (the NYT made a gigantic mistake by assuming FIFA was a rental not a major Sponsor). - Ward Clark

Richard Grenell...serving as interim President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and he's taking that seriously, too.

• So when Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) made some unfounded and, candidly, false claims about the Kennedy Center under Grenell's management, Mr. Grenell was quick to issue a sharp rebuke, fact-checking Senator Whitehouse into the next time zone. 

In his X account, Mr. Grenell went to town.
The attached letter is where the fact-check really gets down to it.
Here are a couple of highlights:

1. Before the arrival of new leadership, the Kennedy Center was hemorrhaging donor dollars. Members of the executive leadership team were paid between $400,000 to $700,000 per year. New leadership has ended the financial chaos...
2. The cost of convening a single board meeting under previous leadership was over $120,000 in expenses. Today, it's a fraction of that cost, with the next Board meeting being hosted by a Board member at no cost to us...

• The letter goes on in that vein...

If it'll end the war.

Minnesota welfare fraud exposes the failure of assimilation - UnHerd

When migrant communities can mass-import their own relatives via the so-called family preference programme, the result is ghettoised enclaves in which newcomers can pretend like they’re still living back home — only with colder weather and thicker welfare nets. - Sohrab Ahmari

• There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland.
• The enraging City Journal exposé presents a case study in why the United States must drastically slash the number of immigrants it admits, and become significantly more rigorous in choosing whom to admit and how to assimilate them...

'Peak Irony' Riley Gaines Fires Back Against Megan Rapinoe's Attack on the 'Save Women's Sports' Movement

'Peak Irony' Riley Gaines Fires Back Against Megan Rapinoe's Attack on the 'Save Women's Sports' Movement: 

Wednesday, on the social media platform X, women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer, noted the “peak irony” in former U.S. Women’s Soccer player Megan Rapinoe’s recent attack on those who seek to protect women’s sports from men posing as women, which Gaines has tried to do through her “Save Women’s Sports” movement.

“Megan Rapinoe questioning the motives behind protecting women’s sports is peak irony,” Gaines wrote. “The only reason she had a professional career at all is because she had a protected female category.”

Canada is being overrun by migrants. - David Strom

Almost half of all births are now to foreign-born mothers (42% currently, and rising), and one-third of the overall population is foreign-born.
One of the many terrible consequences of the liberal policies that have resulted in this replacement of the native population is stagnating economic growth.

• ...it is undeniable that replacing a high-trust first-world citizenry with people from a low-trust, low-education, and low-productivity region is bound to make your society and economy lose vitality and eventually collapse...
