And then he\u2019ll express utter shock and horror when he sees one of his teachers at the supermarket. Or maybe he\u2019ll wonder why the moon is following him around at night, or why people don\u2019t just use ATMs to withdraw unlimited amounts of money. Unless you\u2019re a chronic marijuana user, these aren\u2019t the kind of thoughts you typically have as an adult. It\u2019s a simplistic and off-kilter way of thinking, but you give it a pass, and even find it charming, when it\u2019s coming from your five-year-old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">When you\u2019re scrolling through videos on your phone and you hear something like this from a sitting member of Congress, on the other hand, all of the charm is lost. You see, in order to be a member of the House of Representatives, you have to be 25 years old at a minimum. Your frontal cortex has to be relatively well-developed, at least in theory. We have this restriction \u2014 as minimal as it is \u2014 because we don\u2019t want legislators introducing bills that guarantee, I don\u2019t know, mandatory birthday parties every month. And we also don\u2019t want members of Congress to stand in front of a podium, and deliver moments like this one, live on national television.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A resurfaced clip from January 2025 shows woke Somali-American congresswoman Ilhan Omar referring to World War II as \u201cWorld War Eleven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker is often vulgar in her public statements and talks down to Americans, while praising her country of origin, a failed state.

She tells us, without hesitating at all, that this particular law hasn\u2019t been invoked since World War Eleven. Yes, World War Eleven. Whoever wrote this script for Ilhan Omar, needless to say, badly overestimated her intelligence, in at least two different ways. First of all, of course, she read the Roman Numeral \u201cII\u201d as \u201celeven,\u201d which means she somehow has no familiarity with the concept of a Roman Numeral. We can deduce that she\u2019s never opened a history book at any point in her life, or watched a movie sequel, or read an outline, or paid any attention to the Super Bowl, or seen one of those old-fashioned clock faces, or met anyone who\u2019s named after his father, or anything like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But even if, for some reason, you\u2019re inclined to give Ilhan Omar a pass for not understanding Roman Numerals, there\u2019s an even bigger problem here, which is that she thinks it\u2019s plausible that there were eleven different World Wars. That\u2019s one of those moments that, no matter how much you want to give someone the benefit of the doubt, is simply impossible to defend. The words \u201cWorld War Eleven\u201d should not come out of your mouth, under any circumstances. Instinctively, you should know something\u2019s wrong at that point, and you should hit the brakes before you say anything. People are giving her credit for catching her mistake a couple seconds later, but this is one of those errors that just shouldn\u2019t happen to begin with. The brain needs to intercept this particular thought immediately, and neutralize it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I\u2019m the first to admit that someone who speaks publicly all the time might commit a flub here or there, a gaffe, mispronounce a name on occasion \u2014 or in my case, mispronounce basically every name, every time. These things are understandable. But the term \u201cworld war eleven\u201d is so jarring, so wrong, so divorced from reality, that it simply should not leave your lips. If it does, then that\u2019s evidence of much deeper intellectual deficiencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/matt-walsh-ep-1770?elementPosition=3&amp;row=5&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-976065\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg\" alt=\"DailyWire+\" width=\"1024\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So in this case, we can assume one of two things. The first possibility \u2014 which admittedly is very remote \u2014 is that Ilhan Omar might have an extremely low IQ, and she\u2019s spent a non-zero amount of time after watching \u201cThe Godfather Part II\u201d wondering where the other 10 Godfather movies are. She knows she can\u2019t find them on Netflix, but she\u2019s pretty sure they\u2019re out there, somewhere. Or maybe she\u2019s done the same thing with \u201cBack to the Future Part II\u201d or \u201cStar Wars Episode II\u201d or \u201cRocky II.\u201d That would be the worst-case scenario, by far \u2014\u00a0 at least for Ilhan Omar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The other possibility is that she\u2019s right, and everyone else is wrong. Maybe there really have been 11 world wars, and we\u2019ve just been undercounting this whole time. And if that\u2019s the case, then effective immediately, I\u2019m calling for one more World War. Now look, I\u2019m as skeptical of foreign intervention as anyone else. And yes, there would be a lot of casualties in World War 12. But if there\u2019s already been eleven world wars, then I think we might as well do one more and make it an even dozen. Frankly, eleven is just a weird number to end on. We\u2019re so close to a nice round number. And it\u2019s about time our leaders did something for the benefit of the OCD community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">All things considered though, Occam\u2019s Razor probably wins here. And that\u2019s a sobering realization. As I said on X, our founding fathers never even considered the possibility that illiterate, moronic third-world women would one day be shipped into this country \u2014 and then elected to Congress. We are discovering a method of national suicide that never entered the minds of the founders. Or at least, to the extent that it did enter their minds, they warned us, repeatedly, not to succumb to it. And they didn\u2019t mince words. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">More on that in a second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But first, it\u2019s important to underscore the extent of the contrast between what Ilhan Omar represents, on the one hand, and the \u201cAmerica First\u201d leadership that currently sits in the White House on the other. What Ilhan Omar represents, although she\u2019s too dumb to realize it, is the notion that America is a \u201cpropositional nation\u201d \u2014 which is to say, a nation that\u2019s nothing more than a set of ideas. In particular, she represents the fiction that America is open to everyone, that \u201cdiversity is our strength,\u201d and that everyone who sets foot inside our borders is just as American as anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Yesterday, Donald Trump hosted King Charles III at the White House \u2014 or as Ilhan Omar calls him, King Charles one-hundred-and-eleven. And Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his political career, without question. It wasn\u2019t just a rejection of Democrat Party orthodoxy, or the suggestion that America is a propositional nation. We\u2019re not defined by any Supreme Court decision or even the Constitution. Instead, Trump made it clear that America is defined by shared culture, religion, language, territory, and ancestry. One cannot simply \u201cidentify\u201d as an American. As a country, we\u2019re successful because of our Anglo-Saxon heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"RbiQG0qkBtE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trump speech welcomes King Charles III, Queen Camilla at White House\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RbiQG0qkBtE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: USA Today\/YouTube.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cThe American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance, their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Every single time they say Trump is equivalent to Hitler, and every single time they call MAGA supporters \u201cNazis,\u201d they\u2019re trying to de-program you so that you don\u2019t think along these lines. They\u2019re trying to imply that, if you think heritage matters, then you must be a horrible human being. But the truth is, there\u2019s nothing hateful or genocidal or authoritarian about believing something that happens to be true. And it\u2019s true \u2014 demonstrably so \u2014 that your heritage matters. Your genetics matter. Your culture matters. The reason Somalia looks the way it does \u2014 and we all know it \u2014 has nothing to do with \u201csystemic racism\u201d or oppression or colonialism. There are plenty of other formerly-colonized countries, from South Korea to Botswana, that aren\u2019t anywhere near as dysfunctional. For decades in Somalia, they\u2019ve been fighting among themselves. Believe it or not, they just passed a law making sexual assault a crime a few years ago. That\u2019s the kind of thing that happens when you don\u2019t have any common law tradition, or a basic sense of morality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">At the state dinner last night, Trump hammered the same point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8 TRUMP JUST WENT FULL WESTERN CULTURE MODE WITH THE KING<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first Americans saw themselves as free men carrying the forward and central liberties and ancient rights of the Anglo-Saxons into this new and beautiful world!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the eyes of America\u2019s founders, our war of\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jQTEfSOu8W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/jQTEfSOu8W<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EricLDaugh\/status\/2049298843318325448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: @EricLDaugh\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He\u2019s making the point that, contrary to what many historians want you to think, the American Revolution wasn\u2019t actually a seismic split from Europe. It wasn\u2019t a complete reset. It wasn\u2019t a \u201cnew order of the ages,\u201d at least not initially. Really, it was a continuation of a common tradition and heritage in many ways. And that\u2019s why we were successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Does anyone seriously doubt that, if Somalians had somehow descended from the British and Germanic tribes, Somalia would be in a much better place today? Well, unfortunately, the answer is \u2014 yes, people <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">do<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> doubt that. The reason we\u2019re in so much trouble right now is that, indeed, millions of people genuinely believe that Somalia would look exactly the same if it had been a product of Anglo-Saxon tradition. One such \u201ctrue believer,\u201d we can surmise, is King Charles himself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch what he told Congress yesterday afternoon:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">King Charles IGNITES the halls of Congress as he praises America\u2019s Founding Fathers and invokes the spirit of 1776.<\/p>\n<p>KING CHARLES: \u201cThe founding fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[Applause]<\/p>\n<p>\u201c250 years ago, or as we say in the United Kingdom, just the other\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HBgWThok17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/HBgWThok17<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Overton (@overton_news) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/overton_news\/status\/2049212184622751915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: @overton_news\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Somehow all the Democrats who had a problem with \u201cKings\u201d \u2014 to the point that they literally attended rallies where they called for \u201cNo Kings\u201d \u2014 were applauding throughout this speech. Really makes you wonder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In any event, the important part of that clip was: \u201cThey declared independence by balancing contending forces, and in drawing strength in diversity, they united 13 disparate colonies to forge a nation on the revolutionary idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Ironically, during the Revolutionary War, the British Army hired between 20,000 and 100,000 Africans and African-Americans. They really did put their money where their mouth was, in terms of the whole \u201cdiversity is our strength\u201d argument. And it didn\u2019t work out for them, to put it mildly. But the King doesn\u2019t want you to ponder any of this. He just repeats the mantra from the modern-day HR Department, which is that diversity is our strength, and that the American colonists believed the same mantra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We briefly talked about this kind of thinking when we <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YMsJGnn-h_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">dismantled<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> Ken Burns\u2019 documentary on the American Revolution a few months ago. No, the Founders did not draw on \u201cstrength in diversity,\u201d as Leftists love to use that word today. The colonists were overwhelmingly white and British. Some were Dutch or German. That\u2019s an indisputable fact. The colonists spoke the same language and shared similar ancestry. What King Charles is implying is that the \u201cdiversity\u201d of the colonists was comparable, in some way, to the \u201cdiversity\u201d that the Left talks about today. But it wasn\u2019t remotely comparable. The \u201cdiversity\u201d of 2026 means that we get Somali daycare centers in Minneapolis where they can\u2019t even spell the word \u201cLearning\u201d on the sign. It means we get hordes of Hispanic gang members in Los Angeles waving the Mexican flag as they set fire to police cars and Waymos and small businesses the moment the federal government attempts to enforce immigration law. It means the descendants of Kenyans who score in the 50th percentile on the SAT can walk into Harvard, no questions asked. That\u2019s the \u201cdiversity\u201d we\u2019re told to celebrate today. And it\u2019s a sick joke to compare this practice, in any way, to the unification of the 13 colonies to create the United States of America. The colonies were created by men with a shared heritage. Modern proponents of diversity explicitly want to destroy that heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">That\u2019s why, when he announced that he was running for president seven years ago, Joe Biden read a script in which he declared that \u201cAmerica is an idea.\u201d This is the same video where he repeated the Charlottesville \u201cvery fine people\u201d hoax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"VbOU2fTg6cI\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joe Biden For President: America Is An Idea\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VbOU2fTg6cI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: Joe Biden\/YouTube.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">America \u201cguarantees that everyone is treated with dignity.\u201d America \u201cgives hope to the most desperate people on earth.\u201d He\u2019s not simply repeating vapid slogans here, although he\u2019s certainly doing that. Really, Joe Biden (and his handlers) are trying to do the exact same thing they did with gender. They want to destroy the entire concept by making it completely subjective. There\u2019s no limiting principle here. Joe Biden\u2019s definition of America is meaningless. We have no identity, no objective characteristics whatsoever. We\u2019re simply a concept \u2014 the concept that foreigners should never, under any circumstances, have to think bad thoughts, or feel bad feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">At the White House, with King Charles watching, Donald Trump went out of his way to reject this orthodoxy. He called it out by name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"RbiQG0qkBtE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trump speech welcomes King Charles III, Queen Camilla at White House\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RbiQG0qkBtE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: USA Today\/YouTube.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s worth keeping in mind, once again, how different this scene would look, if Kamala Harris had been elected president. It would be the exact opposite. She\u2019d turn the 250th anniversary of this country\u2019s founding into an apology tour. And she certainly wouldn\u2019t affirm that America is the product of Anglo-Saxon tradition. She\u2019d tell us that Somalis and Haitian gangbangers built this country. Whenever we\u2019re frustrated with this administration \u2014 and there are plenty of reasons to be frustrated \u2014 it helps to remind yourself of that alternative universe that we\u2019ve avoided, at least for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The other thing you have to keep in mind is that, before the Left used Donald Trump as a pretext to lose their minds, none of this used to be controversial. The Founding Fathers went out of their way to criticize foreigners, and to emphasize American exceptionalism. Ben Franklin famously called Germans \u201cswarthy.\u201d Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers of mass migration, saying he preferred the population to grow naturally. Alexander Hamilton emphasized the importance of a \u201ccommon national sentiment\u201d and cautioned against \u201ccorrupting the national spirit\u201d by importing a population with divided loyalties. And that view was consistent well into the 20th century \u2014 Louisiana was hit hard by English-language-only laws, for example. And during World War I, the government stripped citizenship from thousands of people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">More recently, it\u2019s hardly been controversial to highlight the importance of our shared heritage. Here\u2019s Antonin Scalia in 2006, explaining that, as an Italian-American, he was surprised when he visited Britain for the first time and felt like he was at home. He didn\u2019t recognize the influence of Britain and the Anglo-Saxon tradition on the United States until that moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on this same sentiment of common Anglo-American culture and character. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JgmovcNMIm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/JgmovcNMIm<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PqGctCvEJK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/PqGctCvEJK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Presbytery Inn (@PresbyInn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PresbyInn\/status\/2049195112584884434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: @PrebyInn\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You used to be able to make observations like this, in public, without having your life destroyed. And just to illustrate that point a little more \u2014 remember when everyone lost their minds over the \u201cAppeal to Heaven\u201d\/Pine Tree flag that was flying outside of Samuel Alito\u2019s house? It was a whole news cycle. Leftists said that Samuel Alito was an insurrectionist because he was flying the same flag as the protesters on January 6th. And then, when conservatives pointed out that the \u201cAppeal to Heaven\u201d flag is actually a well-established part of American history, and that liberals used to celebrate the flag themselves \u2014 the state of California flew the flag outside of government buildings, and it was featured in the intro to HBO\u2019s \u201cJohn Adams\u201d miniseries \u2014 the whole story completely died. It was an embarrassing saga \u2014 one that clearly exposed the ignorance, and the insane paranoia, of the modern Left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Something similar is happening with the Anglo-Saxon rhetoric that Trump used. Here\u2019s a clip from that same John Adams miniseries from HBO. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s an adaptation of remarks that John Adams actually made, in real life, when he met King George after America\u2019s independence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201c\u2026who, though separated by an ocean, and under different governments, have the same language, a similar religion, and kindred blood.\u201d \u2013 John Adams to King George III, June 1, 1785 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JgmovcNMIm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/JgmovcNMIm<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g9PLsxVQVE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/g9PLsxVQVE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Presbytery Inn (@PresbyInn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PresbyInn\/status\/2049192041293197341?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: @PrebyInn\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cWho, though separated by an ocean, and under different governments, have the same language, a similar religion, and kindred blood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If he heard that line today, Jake Tapper would accuse John Adams of being a Nazi.

Yes, we should recognize that we\u2019re the product of an Anglo-Saxon culture, and yes, we should recognize that this heritage is unique and valuable. But we should also recognize that we\u2019re not best defined as \u201cdescendants of the Anglo-Saxons\u201d anymore. We\u2019re something distinct. We have our own identity. We don\u2019t have to define ourselves exclusively as the descendants of Germans, or Britons, or Irishmen, or anyone else. Every nationality and ethnic group began when it achieved terminal velocity, and became a distinct identity from the ones that preceded it. And Americans have reached that point. We are a distinct culture. We are a distinct nation. We\u2019re a distinct ethnicity. We have our own shared traditions and heritage, and none of it\u2019s captured \u2014 at least not fully \u2014 by describing us as \u201cItalian-Americans\u201d or \u201cGerman-Americans\u201d or \u201cAnglo-Saxons\u201d or anything else. We\u2019re Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This is a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaiserLoengramm\/status\/2019006336910967201?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post on X<\/a> that I want to highlight, because it captures exactly this idea:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>America must be understood as its own ethnos. You\u2019re not a mutt, you\u2019re not English-Irish-French-Italian-Polish-Scottish-German because you\u2019ve got fractions and percents of each. You belong to your own ethnic group unique to this continent, distinct from all others. Theodore Roosevelt understood this well. \u2018The children and grandchildren of the men who came here from England, Ireland, Germany, France, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe have become Americans\u2014a new race, with a new ethnic type, and they are no more Englishmen or Germans or Scandinavians than the descendants of the Norman invaders of England are Frenchmen. The frontier conditions made a new race. The stern struggle with the wilderness and with wild men welded together the descendants of many European stocks into one people\u2014the American. Out of the crucible of the wilderness came a new ethnic type, hardy, self-reliant, democratic in instinct, and with a continent for its inheritance.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If you doubt any of that, just look around today. We\u2019re the only country on the planet that still respects the freedom of speech, even as countries like Britain and Germany have abandoned it. They arrest comedians in Britain, like Graham Linehan, for offending the cult of transgenderism. We don\u2019t do that here. We also have a unique system of government, and a unique way of electing our head of state. We create all of the movies and television shows worth watching, with very few exceptions. We make the most vitally important technology products that everyone in the world uses or benefits from \u2014 from the phone to the search engine to the self-driving car to the reusable rocket. We innovate. And in general, we\u2019re civilized \u2014 to a much greater degree than most of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Just as one example to illustrate this point: there has been a lot of talk, especially in recent years, about pollution in the ocean. A few years ago we went through the great Plastic Straw Panic, where every restaurant in the country switched over to paper straws that melt in your Diet Coke while you\u2019re trying to use them. But, as I said at the time, this panic was always totally absurd. At least in our country. Almost none of the pollution in the ocean is from the United States. Why? Because in the United States, for the most part, we don\u2019t dump our trash into the rivers, which then ferry it like a conveyor belt into the ocean. No, that is done in Africa and Asia, which is why 95% of the plastic pollution in the Ocean comes from those two continents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">That leaves only 5% of the ocean\u2019s plastic debris to be split between the continents of Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. Brazil is the worst plastic offender outside of Asia and Africa. Twenty-three European countries, collectively, are 18th on the list. The United States comes in 20th. America, with its population of 330 million, is dwarfed on the plastic pollutant list by countries like Sri Lanka with 310 million fewer people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We could collect all of the straws in North America, bundle them together and shoot them into the Sun, and the state of the ocean would hardly be improved at all. Indeed, we could stop using plastic altogether and it would barely make a dent in the problem. That\u2019s because, again, we are a civilized country, and we don\u2019t dump our trash into our rivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But that\u2019s exactly what they do all across Asia and Africa. In fact, the problem is so bad in the most contaminated river in the world, the River Salween in south east Asia, that local fishermen have abandoned fishing for actual fish and instead fish for glass and plastic, which they can then sell. Fishermen are now catching trash in the river rather than fish. Basic things like waste disposal and hygiene are not practiced across wide swaths of the globe. That\u2019s the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u00a0Americans don\u2019t tolerate dysfunction like this. Yes, there are cities within the United States \u2014 which are overrun with people who aren\u2019t Americans \u2014 that are dysfunctional. But cities and towns that are run by Americans are a different matter entirely. And if we want to eliminate any dysfunction for good, we have no choice but to ensure that America is ruled by, and for, Americans \u2014 and no one else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So in the spirit of our Founding Fathers, I humbly present my proposal for a \u201cHeritage American Bill of Rights.\u201d This is a series of rules that, if enforced, would ensure the future survival of the United States of America, by protecting the culture and shared heritage that our president has correctly identified as fundamental to our existence as a nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Rule #1:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">First-generation immigrants aren\u2019t permitted to serve in Congress at all, especially illiterate Somali ones. But also in general. If you just got here, then you have no business telling Americans how to live their lives. You have no business spending their money. You certainly have no business complaining all the time, or defaming millions of people. It\u2019s the height of humiliation for Americans to have to listen to a member of Congress talk about \u201cWorld War Eleven.\u201d No self-respecting country would tolerate this. We shouldn\u2019t either. We already require that the president must be a natural born citizen. That requirement should simply be extended to congress as well, for all of the same reasons that we apply it to the presidency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Rule #2:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Foreigners who can\u2019t speak English, or who cost taxpayers money, have to go home. Anyone who doesn\u2019t speak our language is not an American. They can\u2019t participate in our society. They can\u2019t assimilate. They can only wall themselves off into ethnic enclaves, which breed resentment and fraud and poverty. And obviously, if these people are drawing welfare benefits, the situation is even less sustainable. If you come to this country, and you become a net drain on society, then you need to go back. We can\u2019t afford any other outcome. Even if we wanted to feed and educate and pay the medical bills for all of these people, the money simply isn\u2019t there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Rule #3:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I\u2019ve been very open that I think we should drastically curtail the right to vote. You should have some actual stake in this country, at a minimum, if you want to vote. There has to be some legacy you want to protect. And we can\u2019t measure this stake solely through property ownership, especially since foreigners (mainly from China) are buying a lot of our property. We also can\u2019t measure this stake solely through the number of children you have, since foreigners are having children at far higher rates than the native population. I think a very moderate and extremely generous proposal is that immigrants are not allowed to vote in our elections until they\u2019ve been legal citizens in this country for ten years. So you have to become a legal citizen and then wait another ten years before you can vote. Voting is not, or shouldn\u2019t be, a universal right granted to everyone. We already have some minimal standards for voting. You have to be 18. Most states have restrictions on felons voting. Our Founding Fathers obviously intended for the parameters to be much stricter. We can\u2019t prevent people from voting based on race, and we shouldn\u2019t, and no one is suggesting that. But we can protect our institutions by taking basic steps to make sure that voters are actual adult citizens of the country who are assimilated into the culture and invested in it. I also think all voters should be required to complete and pass a 5th grade civics exam, and we should disenfranchise everyone on welfare. But let\u2019s start with the 10 year voting moratorium for new citizens, and go from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Now, will any of these proposals become law? Will any of them ever be enforced? It\u2019s easy to conclude that, no, they won\u2019t. \u201cNothing ever happens,\u201d as the saying goes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But if that\u2019s your attitude, consider this: Donald Trump, yesterday, became the first president in probably a half-century to mention our Anglo-Saxon tradition in a positive light. He did something that no other president dared to do. And he did it, multiple times, while standing right next to King Charles, who was busy muttering about how \u201cdiversity is our strength.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">As far as contrasts go, it was pretty stark. It was a bit like watching a member of Congress who thinks there were 11 World Wars, and then listening to a president who understands what it takes to prevent World War III. Who are we, exactly? We\u2019re the product of a distinct heritage. We\u2019re the best innovators, lawmakers, scientists, artists, athletes, thinkers, and fighters in the entire world. We\u2019re not a \u201cmelting pot\u201d or a mish-mash of inferior, squabbling cultures. We\u2019re just Americans. And as soon as we evict anti-American invaders, like Ilhan Omar, from this country, we will become exactly what our Founding Fathers were 250 years ago: An unstoppable force advancing the interests of civilization, without apology. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">All of the Left\u2019s propaganda over the past few decades, and all of their slander, have been designed to prevent that outcome from becoming reality. But on Tuesday, with this message delivered by our president directly to the face of King Charles, for the first time in memory, these enemies of Western Civilization finally have an enemy of their own. Americans who understand their heritage, and who take pride in their ethnicity, are the single greatest imaginable threat to Leftism and all of its objectives. And yesterday, in a couple of speeches that could\u2019ve been merely ceremonial, those Americans were given their marching orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ilhan-omar-hits-rock-bottom-with-her-dumbest-remarks-yet-as-trump-delivers-his-best-speech-ever\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the universal experiences of parenthood is that, sooner rather than later, your child will say something that\u2019s simultaneously very dumb, but also endearing because it reflects a view of the world that no adult could possibly have.
