If you want to be even more cynical and conspiratorial- who invaded Somalia giving America politicians the cover of western guilt to bring them over here?

It’s unbelievable- a Somali born American hating woman is going to stand on the streets of an American(arguable) city in support of non Americans- all while doing so as an elected official in our highest legislative body.
We better fix this shite now before it’s too late.

Did you listen to him?
I’m not taking a position in any way whatsoever.
Simply that the man was prepared for this moment. I’m neither supporting or criticizing the moment in itself.

If you can take one thing away from listening to the man speak and answer questions for about 45 minutes, he has spent the large percentage of his life in exile planning and thinking of these times.

There is little doubt that this was the brainchild of some CIA agent.
The only bright side is that whoever thought of it saw the Somalis as expendable once exposed.
And I can’t think of a more expendable immigrant population

The U.S. has wanted Greenland for a while.

re: How would the world be different if Alexander the Great lived another 20-25 years?
Posted by Hayekian serf on 1/14/26 at 12:12 pm to greenbean
The more interesting “what if.”
If Philip II of Macedon lives another 20 years, he’s the one we’d be talking about, not Alexander. Philip already did the hardest work: unifying Macedon, breaking Greek resistance, and building the army that could take on Persia. Alexander inherited a finished system.
A longer-lived Philip likely invades Persia himself, but more carefully. Slower expansion, more consolidation, fewer dramatic marches east. You still get a Hellenistic world, it’s just clearly Philip’s project.
Alexander in that world is remembered as a great general or successor, not the centerpiece.
Philip is possibly the most under-appreciated father in history.

If Alexander lives another 20–25 years, the world isn’t fundamentally different, just less chaotic.
Once Alexander the Great broke Achaemenid power, the Hellenistic trajectory was locked in. Greek language, cities, coinage, and elite culture were going to dominate the eastern Mediterranean and Near East regardless, as it still did during Roman times across the Roman Empire. Greek was the language and culture of the intellectual elites. His early death mainly produced the Successor wars and decades of instability.
Had he lived, that fragmentation is delayed or avoided. Trade networks stabilize sooner, populations aren’t ground down by constant war, and Rome likely rises more slowly, though not prevented.
The main area of real divergence is east of Persia. Longer consolidation in Bactria and the Indus could deepen Greco-Indian interaction, especially with early Mauryan power under Chandragupta Maurya.

Well John Adams didn’t write the constitution.
He was the second president to ignore it completely and was hated for it by his contemporaries so much so that his own VP destroyed him in his reelection bid.
And then honestly Jefferson- great revolutionary and all time genius- wasn’t very constitutional in his own right as a president.
However compared to every president, outside of a few, starting with Lincoln- they were both very constitutional

They won’t do anything, but there will be an increase in cartel activity on this side of the border such as kidnappings.
But this will only reinforce or build the public’s appetite for their destruction
