In 1800, US GDP per capita was twice that of Mexico and three times that of Brazil. By 1860, it was six times higher than both, and by 1880 it had surpassed the UK's. (source)

"It is five minutes to midnight, not in the Netherlands but in Europe. We have a God-damned fifth column who want to bring this country to damnation. This is about your children, your grandchildren. Maybe I will be killed, okay, fine, but the problem remains. People have had enough." 22 years ago, long before the European Migrant Crisis, the Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn was assassinated by a left-wing terrorist for speaking out against the great replacement. Pim maintained good optics, claiming that his objection to "diversity" was motivated by cultural compatibility, rather than race (evidently not the case, judging from this footage). Even that was too much for the rabid left. Today, the largest Dutch party is Geert Wilders' anti-immigration/populist PVV. We see similar results across the West, thanks entirely to brave patriots like Trump who put their lives on the line for our sake.

Trump rally shooting victim named: Corey Comperatore, a retired fire chief from Pennsylvania, was murdered by Thomas Matthew Crooks, the left-wing terrorist who failed to assassinate Donald Trump yesterday evening. According Corey's daughter, his final act was to shield her and his wife from the assassin's gunfire, saving their lives but losing his own. A true hero, rest in peace.

New data on migrant crime in Denmark posted by @Scientific_Bird on X. Migrants make up ~50% of inmates in closed prisons and ~66% of inmates in Copenhagen prisons. Denmark and Copenhagen are ~16% and ~28% non-Danish, respectively.

Too much demoralization porn being posted about the French and British elections. Results were good for the "far-right" in both countries, especially France where two fifths of the population voted for nationalists. Reform votes sextupled since 2019 and now they're the third largest party (in terms of vote share, not seats).

NR reportedly won 38% of the popular vote in France, by far the highest result.
