Just incredible that they can muster the political will to ban teens from chatbots, but none to stop feral savage third-world animals from attacking their teens on the streets.

Each time I open this app anymore I am greeted with the most insane videos of feral savagery, animalistic violence, and utter incompetence of third-worlders that would make LiveLeak viewers turn away.

To stand out dramatically in 2026, all you need to do is read. Just 7% of adults are currently part of a book club. That's why we set up Athenaeum.

We are finally fighting back, something is happening out there

I know this is controversial, but we need more trillionaires, not fewer. Elon Musk isn't enough. I'm working on becoming the next one.

A Berkeley history professor says he’s cut assigned reading from 100 pages a week to just 35. Another said that a course which once required students to read seven full books now consists entirely of excerpts. “We are now reaching a crisis point where if the number of pages goes down further, it’s unclear to me whether my discipline of history can really be taught.” The attention span crisis is a civilization crisis.

A culture that cannot explain why virtue matters will eventually stop producing virtuous people.

We are not angry enough

On his first day in the White House, Teddy Roosevelt warned reporters that anyone who misquoted him would lose access to the White House.

You know what would improve this place exponentially? A couple million 65 IQ third worlders

Friendly reminder: According to Islam, when a girl is wearing a hijab, it means she is ready for marriage.

Muslims, You have no right to feel safe in Christian lands. You have slaughtered our ancestors. You will slaughter our descendants. We will not be fooled by your victimhood.

Next time you feel sorry for these people remember they think they have a right to rape our girls, burn our churches, and conquer our countries. Fuck them.

I have no sympathy for the argument that someone should be allowed to stay simply because they want a better life. Millions of people around the world want a better life. That doesn't give anyone the right to enter or remain in another country.

A 12 year old girl in Spain was gang raped by five male classmates at a birthday party Because the boys are underage, they will face only a one week school suspension and no criminal charges

It doesn't stop

Will we ever get a Traditionalist Pope again? Someone who preaches the Gospel without apology, understands the threats facing Christianity, has no handlers, and thinks for himself. The last Pope I respected was Pope Benedict XVI, a fellow Bavarian. Since then, I've watched too many church leaders seem more eager to accommodate Islam and secular opinion than defend Christianity. I'm tired of it.

I’m Catholic, I love being Catholic, I love the Church... but our current Pope sucks.

Finally some good news... remember the Scottish axe girl? The migrants were charged with assault.
