Greetings, Dear Reader,

Here it is, the week in review. Been a wild one, in some loud but also some subtle ways, once you stitch it all together.

The bottom line is ultimately …

We are not them. We are better. Our morality is superior, and so is our culture. I am not ashamed to say it. You shouldn’t be either. In fact, you should feel compelled to say it. Now especially, it can mean the difference between survival and extinction. Forget tolerance. Bat away accusations of “white supremacy.” Appeals to “humanity” are exclusively felt for my family, my community, and my fellow countrymen, in that order. Equivocating is tantamount to suicide.

The West is under assault. It has been for decades. It has enemies and rivals on the outside, but also revolutionaries and sympathizers on the inside.

GOP Rep. Brandon Gill has recently devised the most incisive question paradigm since “what is a woman?”

In a recent hearing, Gill had just concluded an interview of Daily Wire investigative reporter (and longtime friend of mine) Luke Rosiak in which Rosiak outlined his findings on medicaid and medicare fraud in Ohio. Rosiak’s conclusion: Near 100% was from foreigners, particularly Somali and Bhutanese.

“Senator Antonio, thank you for being here,” Gill said, turning to Nickie Antonio, a left-wing senator in Ohio’s state senate. “Has Somali immigration been good for Ohio?”

Gill has stopped liberals in their tracks a number of times with this exact paradigm, “Has (X) immigration been good for (X state, community)?”

It’s a simple question, but impossible for a liberal to answer. For too long immigration has been an assumed good. So asking if it’s good is almost hilariously breaking for the liberal worldview. The answer is usually by the numbers simply no, in no tangible sense could you characterize the growing diaspora as “good.”

Antonio utterly imploded (mark 4:24). She sputtered. I would quote her but the words came out in incoherent spurts.........
