Oh look. The migrant who stomped a white Swedish man to death was a rapist ... because of course he was. Meaning, if the authorities did their fucking job and deported him, Christian Zedig's children would still have a father.
🚨NEWS: The migrant who attacked and killed Swedish Father Christian Zedig in a football fan zone had multiple previous criminal charges including: - Charged with rape in 2013 - 7 years for attempted murder in 2017 - Charged with assault in April 2026 Why wasn't he stopped?

“That was fun, I’ll do it again when I get out,” said the 22-year-old Gambian violent offender after he stabbed a 55-year-old Italian man twenty times. And he will be released again. Perhaps to succeed in killing a European next time.

We need a bit more shame. People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this. Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation. It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.

"Richard Symons, the owner of a U.K.-based used-car sales company that specializes in EVs, has found that the batteries that power these cars (Teslas) continue to perform well even after several hundred thousand miles. “They are proving themselves to be exceptionally reliable."

One of the most misunderstood facts is that the US was founded with abundance, whereas it was in fact built from scratch. At the time of founding, Britain was the greatest nation governing the Seven Seas, while China was at its height with total land dominance in the East under the Qianlong Emperor. The usable land of the US at founding was much smaller than that of either nation. The 13 colonies spanned 430K square miles, while Britain governed 2.5M square miles and China owned 5M square miles of territory. The trade and economic volume of the 13 colonies was minuscule, consisting mostly of raw materials that barely registered on the charts. Combined, the 13 colonies produced $4B GDP, while Britain made $350B and China $2.5T in today’s dollars. In other words, the 13 colonies were less than 0.2% of the world economy and much smaller than that of many African nations today. The wealth of the US was not inherited but earned through survival and competition against stronger nations. Most people who came here brought nothing but empty hands yet built an empire from the ground. This is something that people who inherit great resources from parents and ancestors cannot understand—like most nations in Europe and Asia, where wealth was dominated by inheritance, not earned. They mistakenly believe what we have now is a privilege. The trees we enjoy today were planted and nourished with sweat and blood by previous generations so that we could cut the wood for warmth. Be a tree planter, not a wood chopper. Plant your tree today. 🌱
One of the great chapters in America's history is how we converted our economy to wartime production in the 1940s and used our industrial power to win WWII. I'd learned in high school that we converted car factories into tank factories. But I never knew the full story until last month, when I read Freedom's Forge, the definitive book on this. It turns out the true story is even crazier and more impressive. In honor of July 4th, here's the story of how America won WWII, one factory at a time.

Obviously true to any student of history
America is the most powerful empire. Yet, it has not annexed another sovereign country since 1898. It’s arguably the most morally constrained in history. No previous hegemonic power with military superiority exercised so little direct annexation during its period of dominance.

Apart from a few tiny blips, America has been below replacement rate for ~55 years
America’s birth rate is in serious decline 🇺🇸 The graph should terrify you: • U.S. fertility has fallen about 23% since 2007 • The total fertility rate is now around 1.6 births per woman • No U.S. state is above the replacement level of 2.1 anymore This is the population crisis Elon Musk has been warning about for years Fewer births today means a rapidly shrinking population. Humanity will eventually die in adult diapers… a slow, painful, depressing death There will be no young workforce left to sustain the economy or society We need more births to sustain our population

Ford is done. GM is done. Honda is done. Toyota is dying. Now FOUR of my employees have bought Tesla Model Y vehicles. They let me drive one. I was blown away... again. Full-Self Driving (FSD) is highly evolved. Human-like in its decisions. Feels safer than any human driver. I told my staff to install a couple of charging stations at my company parking lot. We're going to offer free charging to any employee that drives an EV. (F*ck gas prices and war in the Persian Gulf!) The future of personal transport vehicles on this planet belongs to Tesla, BYD, CATL and maybe a couple of other companies. And all of them will be EVs. At this point, driving a combustion engine vehicle for daily tasks seems obsolete. And I don't believe a single thing about climate alarmism and all those cultists who hate carbon dioxide. EVs make sense simply from an economics perspective: They're a fraction of the cost to operate, and much simpler to maintain (no oil changes, no engine air filter, no fuel filter, etc.). Plus, you can charge them from sunlight and get entirely off-grid with your "fuel" supply. (I'll be publishing videos showing this in my studio soon.) Yes, I used to mock EVs. I once said I would never ride in a self-driving vehicle. I was wrong. The technology has been transformed. Battery chemistry improvements have enabled solid range capabilities and very good specifications on charge/discharge cycles. Tesla's FSD capabilities are far stronger than I thought was possible. They've outdone themselves. Now, I'm absolutely convinced: I will never buy another combustion engine vehicle again.
There’s not a single legacy auto maker on this list. It’s Tesla and the Chinese. That’s it.

Every time I watch this I love it more. But you really have to listen to the lyrics. The very real feeling of being on a precipice, as a nation, mixed with the wild optimism of the American spirit and post-war era nostalgia…it’s perfect. It’s moving as hell. It’s so perfectly Gen-X and older Millennial coded. It actually got me choked up. @heavypulp is a creative genius. Huge respect.
