A majority will be about history, but a few will be about politics, art, and other random topics:

Pre-modern Germanic historian 1500 years ago were able to more accurately describe movements of his people than 20th century historians who instead worked hard to deny it until ancient genomes made it impossible.
Many such cases.

New numbers from Denmark about second generation immigrants from the Middle East:
They are exceedingly criminal and violent.
More than 5% of second generation immigrants from Syria aged 20-24 are convicted for grievous assault within a 4 year period.

There's just no serious doubt that the "rape" prosecution of Russell Brand, for which he has now been convicted and jailed, was first precipitated by his very public turn toward vaguely right-wing (and admittedly often wacky) political and religious commentary.
In 2022, the Times (UK) published a big feature lambasting him for his purported transformation into some sort of dodgy right-wing "conspiracy guru."
Then in 2023 comes the big expose about Brand's allegedly sordid history of "sexual assault" and "abuse." The Times claimed they first started hearing of such allegations in 2019, but apparently had little urgency to follow up for several years.
Then all of the sudden, in "autumn 2022, Channel 4’s Dispatches formally began collaborating with The Sunday Times to investigate Brand."
Another notable event that occurred in "autumn 2022": Russell Brand was announced as a featured broadcaster on the right-wing (ish) video platform Rumble, alongside the likes of Donald Trump Jr. and Dan Bongino.
Soon enough, boom — here comes the newly frenzied "investigative" activity by the joint Times/Channel 4 task force — eventually yielding the big splashy 2023 "documentary" (more like "slopumentary”) which today they are bragging "led to" Brand's conviction in London for various sexual assault and rape offenses.
(He was also acquitted on multiple counts, in a very curious mixed verdict. NONE of the allegations aired in that 2023 propagandocumentary were ultimately charged at trial.)
Really makes U think...
On the influence of the desert in the shaping the religion of the Semites--that is, Judaism and Islam. There's a lot packed in here and the passage will repay a careful reading:
"In the dark primeval woods of India the feeling of the Infinite had attained such an intensity that man felt his own Ego merge into the All, whereas the inhabitant of the sun-parched desert, blinded by the excess of light, lost the power of his eyes and saw nothing but himself; far from feeling the Infinite that reveals itself to us only in the night or in the million voices of thronging life, he felt lonely--lonely and yet endangered, lonely yet hardly capable of finding the barest subsistence, utterly incapable of doing so if a second family should desire to join his own. This life was a struggle, a struggle n which only unfeeling egoism could exist. While the Indian, quite lost in thought, had only to stretch out his hand to the trees to still his hunger, the Bedouin was day and night on the alert, and had something else to do than to think of the Infinite--for which he was, moreover, so absolutely devoid of capacity and gifts that his language did not offer him the least help in that direction. On the other hand, we can understand perfectly well how the monotonous poverty of the surroundings could lead to unexampled poverty of mythological conceptions; for man is quite incapable of feeding his imagination from his own resources; it is, as Shakespeare says, 'born in the eye'; where the eye is offered nothing but monotony, the imagination fades and withers. And we can also easily understand how such surroundings would tend to develop that absolutely egoistic monotheism, where the one God is not the great spirit that presides over the world, as in the case of the poor negroes of the slave-coast, but a hard task-master, who is there only for me the one--that is, for me and my children--who, when I blindly devote myself to him, gives me lands which I have not planted, full of oil and wine, houses which I have not built, and wells which I have not sunk--all those glorious things which I have seen only occasionally from a distance, when, impelled by hunger, I have left the desert and gone on a foray; and all these men who revel there in work and wealth--and with joyful song and dance and fat offerings worship Gods who give them all these riches, I will sacrifice to my God of the desert and overturn their altars only my God shall henceforth be God, I alone will be master in the world! This is the monotheism of the desert; it arises not from the idea of the Infinite but from the poverty of ideas of a poor, hungry, greedy man whose range for thought hardly rises above the conception that possession and power would be the highest bliss."--Houson Stewart Chamberlain, /The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century/ (1910), Vol. 1, pp. 426-27
We went to war to make Afghanistan a better country and the only lasting result is that we have more Afghans living in our own nations:

America and Canada are losing their white, European heritage far faster than European countries and are poised to become white minority countries in the near future, a process that likely won’t stop until whites have dwindled to insignificance.
In some respects it’s not surprising. Being new countries, Canada and the US are leas fixed in their culture; there is less a sense of “what ought to be,” and who are the rightful inhabitants of the land. By contrast, in countries like France, Germany, England, etc., there is a very clear-cut sense of ethnicity tied to specific geographical locations. New countries like Canada, the US, Australia, etc., may well end up being ephemeral, brief flashes in the pan that arrive and disappear in a brief historical moment.
What happened to Texas is what happens to every region that becomes prosperous: it becomes a magnet for outsiders whose arrival changes the culture in ways likely to undermine the source of its original prosperity. This is what’s happening on a grand scale throughout the western world.
What happened to Texas?
The Texas I grew up in as a kid in no longer exists. The Land of Hank Hill is gone. I lived in Denton. In 2023, all of my neighbors were from California, Illinois, New York, or New Jersey.
As a result, it completely changed the culture. It didn’t feel much like Texas anymore.
With so many people moving to Texas, housing prices have skyrocketed. The average 2,500-square-foot home now costs nearly half a million dollars.
Remind you of anything? Texas is approaching California-level housing costs.
The traffic is simply the worst. In my old neighborhood, it would take at least 10 minutes just to get out of the neighborhood because of all the people coming and going. A trip that should have taken 10 minutes could easily turn into a 30-minute ordeal with all the traffic.
Remind you of anything? California.
Some people who left those blue states because of political reasons vote Republican but a lot of those people left because of higher taxes and costs of living still vote Democrat and bring their values with them.
Did they learn anything from their failures or why they moved from their states? Nope. They will keep on voting the same way until they decide to move again to another Red State to ruin.
Earlier in the year when I talked about Frisco King, the upcoming series from Tayler Sheridan. A lot of people told me it was pretty little India now.
In other words, you bring in the H-1B Visas to the state and you wonder how they will vote.
Another reason is all of the illegals. Look where Texas went blue. It was at the border.
I think Don Huffines hit the nail on the head that running for 4 terms is a bit much.
Did they ever do anything about property taxes?
One of the main reasons why people such as Elon Musk and many others moved there is because it was very business-friendly. Not anymore. Wait until the state income tax is back on the table and Texas abandons oil and gas.
A lot of people will feel very stupid about the choices that they made but will never say it.
I feel bad for the Tommy Norris and Hank Hill types who don’t deserve this pathetic future.
I moved to Oklahoma in 2024. I love Oklahoma. It’s very laid back. People are easy-going and friendly. I am very thankful to live in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is my home. We have a great incoming Governor.
As for Oklahoma, my mother was born and raised in Oklahoma. She is a Boomer Sooner! I visited my grandparents all the time during the holidays. I graduated from Oral Roberts University. So it's nice to finally call Oklahoma Home.
Right now Oklahoma is and will be Safe Republican unless some fools keep voting the wrong way. Oh if you don’t like Oklahoma feel free to move to California or New York.
My advice to Texans is don’t abandon ship; otherwise Texas will become the new California which will doom the country ever more.
I’m what you might call a “reluctant racist.” I’m not naturally a racist. I’m naturally warm, friendly, and open towards people of other cultures. But I have come to believe that the good things about my society flow from the fact that my society is predominantly white, and that these things will be lost if whites lose their predominant position. The danger of this is so dire and threatening to me personally that it must override all of my contrary inclinations.

Roughly 6% of Trump voters switched to Dems, 3% of Kamala voters switched to GOP for a total 3 point gain.
But Dems won the midterms by 16 points! Almost all through turnout of non voters, Dems and independents.

Women are 5x more likely than men to exhibit in-group bias (meaning that women are substantially more likely to automatically prefer another woman for things like job hiring, political candidates, etc.).
Black people are also more likely than white people to exhibit explicit in-group preference (favoring other black people over white people in the situations listed above).
This even extends to things like jury decisions. Female jurors and black jurors are more likely to return a not-guilty verdict when the defendant is a member of their own group, while white men do not show the same level of in-group bias.
White men are the least tribalistic and the least likely of these groups to make decisions based on race or sex, yet they have become the most vilified in our society.
Something to keep in mind: the US isn’t about 56% non-Hispanic white, whereas most Western European countries are still above 80% white. This makes it highly unlikely that the US will see the sort of backlash to demographic replacement that we’re now seeing in France, Germany, and the UK. Even if the democrats flung open the borders and let in a large number of low-quality immigrants in future sort who are wreaking havoc in Europe, the potential just isn’t there for a European-style ethno-nationalist movement. That ship sailed a generation before anyone but a few marginal kooks were even aware of it.
Europe, on the other hand, has the potential for salvation within a democratic framework, as surprising as that may seem.
