In the meantime, Democrats:

Gavin Newsom just said what everyone knows but too many pretend not to hear:

“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period.”

He’s right. “Anti-woke” was never a philosophy. It was a rebrand. A marketing campaign to launder racism, roll back civil rights, and make bigotry… pic.twitter.com/Jme0rpkS5R

This is painful to watch.

If you had to guess, would you say that in 2025 fewer or more people were chosen to come to the US through diversity visa lottery than in 2023?

In other words, has the Trump administration reversed the policy on handing out green cards through a lottery to increase the country’s diversity?

Consider the absolute disrespect for the concept of citizenship. It’s been turned into a lottery prize. Something so trivial and insignificant that you don’t need to even try to qualify. Surely, the Trump administration put an end to that, right?

Well, we all know I’m being funny on purpose. In reality, more diversity green cards were handed out by the Trump administration in 2025 than the Biden administration in 2023.

I’m very glad that Trump voters are getting exactly what they voted for.

ChatGPT evaluated our interactions in 2025.

It’s not wrong, that’s for sure.

People asked what happened to the Russian nationalists whom Putin didn’t manage to kill. One of them was White Rex. A hero who was killed in battle yesterday.

Denis Nikitin, the anti-Putin Russian neo-nazi commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) fighting on Ukraine's side, was killed in an FPV drone attack, according to his unit. Nikitin, a polyglot who also goes by the name Denis Kapustin and the nom de guerre White Rex after… pic.twitter.com/HOVjJyfQwi

White Rex wasn’t a “neo-Nazi”. The name-calling should stop. He didn’t want white people to be wiped out but that’s hardly an extremist position.

White Rex correctly saw Putin as the author of the greatest genocide against whites in the twenty-first century. He was a brilliant guy. If there was a hope for Russia’s renewal, that was him and his movement.

The EU bureaucrats hated White Rex. He was banned in Germany, for example.

This was a guy who did not need to go to war. He was successful, educated, never had trouble making a living. But he saw the ethnic cleansing happening and wanted to stop it. He fought heroically on Ukraine’s side from the first days of the war.

I didn’t want to write about this because it’s painful. I heard White Rex speak many times. I had great hopes for his movement to restore Russian nationalism. This is a great loss.

But I’m seeing all the usual rat bastards use this opportunity to not only rubbish White Rex but to equate nationalism with Nazism. These are disgusting lies about people who only want to live peacefully in their own countries. Losers who would never have an ounce of White Rex’s bravery and patriotism are spreading these calumnies about the fallen soldier.

There was nothing like this in Ukraine when I was growing up because in the USSR we weren’t allowed to know about Christmas, so I’m extremely glad that these ancestral Christmas traditions have been recovered and that so many young people participate:

Here’s what traditional Christmas looks like in Ukraine.

I recommend the whole thread. It’s really pretty.

Once Christmas traditions are taken away, it’s extremely hard to recover it. I still care more about New Year’s than Christmas. It’s very important to preserve these rituals and involve young people in them.

It’s gotten to the point where I see a billboard saying “Book your next hotel stay with us!” and feel happy because the ad references books.

Liberals truly live in a world of their own:

In eastern Congo, where rape is widespread, the cancellation of USAID funding has left many victims vulnerable, according to nearly 50 interviews. https://t.co/Dm0a6W1Res pic.twitter.com/BCAjyEr928

This comes after decades of them shrieking about the rape culture in the US.

It’s the leftists’ capacity to be completely sincere and even self-righteous about things like these that’s the most stunning. They openly support propping up real rape cultures overseas while decrying non-existent rape culture at home.

Simply imagine how many people saw this headline and found absolutely nothing strange about it.

People have started sending in book discussion requests through anonymous comments. One is for Ian McEwan’s latest book (thanks, I had no idea there was one because Amazon recommends everything except the writers you’ve been buying for years) and another is for Pedro Baños’ Geohispanidad.

There was also a recommendation in the comments for Flesh by David Szalay.

These are great suggestions and I’m glad that the 2026 reading list is already being built.

The new X algorithm is murdering me. It decided that I should only be shown tweets from Ukraine. I have no idea what’s happening in the US or Canada but I know every bit of gossip, online drama, and political goings on in Ukraine. This is torture.

I don’t know how to make it go back to the way it was.

Fox is so good, eh? I loved how she lets one assume that the father is a pedo and visits the pedo website and then puts one face to face with that false assumption at the end.

My records show that I read a novel by Oates before and retained absolutely no memory of it, which tells me that it was middling quality. I might try something else by her but that would have to wait until next year.
