Gregory Bovino: 100+ Million Illegals In U.S.

Gregory Bovino is a career border patrol officer who served as the commander-at-large of the Border Patrol from October 2025 to January 2026. Thus, he probably knows what he is talking about. He posted to X:

It started at 10 million 30 years ago with millions a year entering since then under all administrations ( except Trump), culminating in  20 to 30 million additional under Biden alone.  Given on the ground assessments across all major regions of the US in conjunction with both scholarly estimates and empirical evidence indicating 30 to 50 million as far back as 2012, the conservative number sits at 100 million.  Could be more.  

Revolver Guy: 40th Anniversary of Miami Shootout

The Revolver Guy has posted an article acknowledging that April 11, 2026, was the 40th Anniversary of the Miami shootout that resulted in the FBI reevaluating handgun bullet performance. As a direct consequence of the shootout, the FBI adopted standards for bullet performance and penetration and testing procedures. It also led to the FBI adopting the 10mm for a period of time. The issues with the 10mm led, in turn to the development of the .40 S&W round, which the FBI subsequently adopted. 

    However, this article--entitled "FBI Miami Gunfight 40th Anniversary"--doesn't go into that or how the incident changed FBI training, tactics, or procedures.  Rather, it remembers the FBI agents killed in the shootout, and the concepts of loyalty and duty. 

SPLC Charged With Fraud For Financing Hate Groups

I've long noted that if it weren't for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all. Such is the case here. The Department of Justice has announced: "Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering," noting that "[b]etween 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America."

    “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

    “The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public," said FBI Director Kash Patel. "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups - even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes. That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.”    

 The Left is already cranking up the spin on this as exemplified by this article from USA Today: "Key civil rights group indicted for paying informants. But FBI does it too." Notwithstanding the headline, though, even that article is forced to acknowledge that the indictment isn't about paying people for information, but the practice "was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred." Moreover, according to Patel, the money was not going to lowly informants but "to go ahead and actually pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups."

Of Course: MAGA Influencer Turns Out To Be Indian Scammer Wanting To Immigrate To U.S.

The New York Post reports:

    A comely MAGA influencer who racked up millions of followers with patriotic content of her posing in a bikini while ice fishing, drinking Coors Light and shooting guns has been unmasked — as an Indian man who put himself through med school on the proceeds of his trickery.

    “Sam,” a 22-year-old orthopedic surgeon in training, told Wired that he got the idea to sell AI-generated images of a young woman in a bikini while scrounging for money in school — and trying to save up enough to emigrate to the US after graduation.

    He turned to Google’s Gemini AI for advice and decided to create a “hot girl” crafted specifically for the “MAGA/conservative niche,” after the software told him that “the conservative audience (especially older men in the US) often has higher disposable income and is more loyal,” according to Wired.   

VIDEO: Why No Civil War Yet?

Rudyard Lynch, AKA Whatifalthist, has a new video out analyzing why we are not yet in a civil war (although it is not clear to me whether Lynch is discussing a true civil war between competing groups of elites or something more like a peasant uprising). 

    Lynch had predicted based on models like the Fourth Turning that we would have already entered a civil war by 2025 and yet we appear to have (so far) avoided one. He doesn't necessarily believe that we have avoided it altogether but that there was another powerful factor at play: the behavioral sink that was documented in the Mouse Utopia experiments. Essentially that we have become too apathetic, too comfortable. He blames much of this malaise on screen addiction.

    Nevertheless, he believes that we have made it through most of the stages of Mouse Utopia save the final, violent stage. I think we have reached that stage. I was just reading the other day an article that mentioned that research by the FBI of the worst, most violent federal prisoners showed one commonality: that early in their criminal careers they had been caught but the case dealt with in such a way that they felt that they had gotten away with their crime. Well that is what we seeing with the soft-on-crime policies by Soros backed prosecutors--even for violent crimes. Combine that with the mentality behind the street takeovers and flash-mob style robbery gangs and we could quickly find ourselves in the final stage of Mouse Utopia. 

    As a brief background on Mouse Utopia, from Science History's article "Mouse Heaven or Mouse Hell?":

    Calhoun’s most famous utopia, number 25, began in July 1968, when he introduced eight albino mice into the 4½-foot cube. Following an adjustment period, the first pups were born 3½ months later, and the population doubled every 55 days afterward. Eventually this torrid growth slowed, but the population continued to climb, peaking at 2,200 mice during the 19th month.

    That robust growth masked some serious problems, however. In the wild, infant mortality among mice is high, as most juveniles get eaten by predators or perish of disease or cold. In mouse utopia, juveniles rarely died. As a result, there were far more youngsters than normal, which introduced several difficulties.

    Rodents have social hierarchies, with dominant alpha males controlling harems of females. Alphas establish dominance by fighting—wrestling and biting any challengers. Normally a mouse that loses a fight will scurry off to some distant nook to start over elsewhere.

    But in mouse utopia, the losing mice couldn’t escape. Calhoun called them “dropouts.” And because so few juveniles died, huge hordes of dropouts would gather in the center of the pen. They were full of cuts and ugly scars, and every so often huge brawls would break out—vicious free-for-alls of biting and clawing that served no obvious purpose. It was just senseless violence. (In earlier utopias involving rats, some dropouts turned to cannibalism.)

    Alpha males struggled, too. They kept their harems in private apartments, which they had to defend from challengers. But given how many mice survived to adulthood, there were always a dozen hotshots ready to fight. The alphas soon grew exhausted, and some stopped defending their apartments altogether.

    As a result, apartments with nursing females were regularly invaded by rogue males. The mothers fought back, but often to the detriment of their young. Many stressed-out mothers booted their pups from the nest early, before the pups were ready. A few even attacked their own young amid the violence or abandoned them while fleeing to different apartments, leaving the pups to die of neglect.

    Eventually other deviant behavior emerged. Mice who had been raised improperly or kicked out of the nest early often failed to develop healthy social bonds, and therefore struggled in adulthood with social interactions. Maladjusted females began isolating themselves like hermits in empty apartments—unusual behavior among mice. Maladjusted males, meanwhile, took to grooming all day—preening and licking themselves hour after hour. Calhoun called them “the beautiful ones.” And yet, even while obsessing over their appearance, these males had zero interest in courting females, zero interest in sex.

    Intriguingly, Calhoun had noticed in earlier utopias that such maladjusted behavior could spread like a contagion from mouse to mouse. He dubbed this phenomenon “the behavioral sink.”

    Between the lack of sex, which lowered the birth rate, and inability to raise pups properly, which sharply increased infant mortality, the population of Universe 25 began to plummet. By the 21st month, newborn pups rarely survived more than a few days. Soon, new births stopped altogether. Older mice lingered for a while—hiding like hermits or grooming all day—but eventually they died out as well. By spring 1973, less than five years after the experiment started, the population had crashed from 2,200 to 0. Mouse heaven had gone extinct. 

VIDEO: "things are very bad now...."
Whatifalthist (52 min.)

     I think one variable that Lynch had not sufficiently considered that may be delaying matters--and wasn't considered by the social scientists on which he relied--is the impact of the police state. We are constantly surveilled. A popular rebellion is impossible. Heck, even the election of a populist president in 2016 was harshly punished and completely crushed in 2020. The January 6 protesters were not arrested and imprisoned because they took a self-guided tour through the Capital Building, but as an example to the rest of us in fly over country--not too dissimilar to the Medieval practice of displaying the bodies of criminals in gibbets. 

    The U.S. went through a severe crises in the late 19th and early 20th century with violent protests and even armed conflict breaking out over income inequality and popular immiseration (largely driven by mass immigration) and frequent terrorist attacks by anarchists. This was tamped down using a combination of military force, shutting the door to mass immigration, and generally increased prosperity. But then the Great Depression hit and the elites were scared once again by the food riots and the Bonus Army that marched on Washington D.C. Again, military force was used to put down armed rebellion and labor reforms and a limited social safety net were instituted. But never again were the elites going to be subject to fear of a possible rebellion. The National Firearms Act was passed. The institutions formed to fight organized crime during Prohibition were turned against the people. The institutions formed to regulate life during WWII were largely maintained afterward. Then came the Cold War, the Drug War, and ever more pervasive surveillance to the point that we now constantly carry around surveillance devices (our smart phones), watch entertainment on surveillance devices (our smart TVs and/or computers), live in neighborhoods where almost every house has external surveillance devices (Ring doorbells and similar), shop in stores that use cameras and AI to track what we buy (as if the loyalty cards were not enough), drive around in vehicles wired to listen to us, watch us, and track our movements as we pass through intersections bristling with cameras and license plate readers. 

    And that's why, while watching the beginning of a PBS television mystery program this past weekend on Amazon Prime, my son could turn to me and express his wish to see the extended animation in the original introduction to Mystery! and, unprompted, YouTube had several recommendations for me showing the original introduction when I next opened the app.  

Migrant Mate: An App For Stealing American Jobs

Stephen Green writes: "Want to Steal an American Job? There's an App for That!" He begins:

    "Are you an American? Born here? Generations deep? Looking for a job?" WND's Amanda Bartolotta posted to X on Sunday. "Yeah… this job board is not for you."

    The job board is called Migrant Mate, and there's even a mobile app promising it will help "Land your dream job in the U.S." Or as Bartolotta put it, "the entire selling point is making sure employers are ready to sponsor foreign workers before you even apply."    

    "500,000+ jobs. Filtered by visa type. Built specifically for foreign workers in the U.S. job market."

    It's not just for foreign job-seekers, of course. If you're an American company looking to undercut the market for American workers, Migrant Mate is your completely legal enabler. 

Dissadent Thoughts: "The National Retard Association"

Arthur Sido has some scathing thoughts about the National Rifle Association (NRA) after it tweeted its concern about increased antisemitic attacks. He believes it is pointless for the NRA to pander to Jews because Jews overwhelmingly support gun control and, given their loyalty to the Democratic party, are unlikely to change their opinions about the Second Amendment. 

Leftists Buying Up More Guns And Training

In "Why Left-Leaning Americans Are Heading to Gun Stores in Droves," Tactical Sh!t reports that "[a] growing number of liberals, Democrats, people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals are heading to gun shops and ranges—not out of a sudden love for traditional gun culture, but driven by fear, self-protection, and a rethinking of what the Second Amendment means when the political winds shift." 

    According to an NBC News survey highlighted in the reporting, Democratic households with guns jumped from 33% in 2019 to 41% by around 2024. That’s a significant rise, even as overall gun sales have cooled from the 2020 pandemic peak of about 22 million. Annual sales still hover around 15 million, higher than pre-pandemic levels.

    Liberal-leaning gun clubs are seeing explosive growth. The Liberal Gun Club reported membership surging 66% (from 2,700 to 4,500) in the year leading up to early 2026, with training requests exploding. Groups like the Socialist Rifle Association, Pink Pistols, and A Better Way 2A are expanding classes and welcoming newcomers who never thought they’d own a firearm.    

The article goes into various reasons why of the increased interest but it seems to boil down to the Left suddenly being afraid of "tyranny" because they lost an election to someone who was a moderate Democrat 20 years ago and still holds those views today (yes, Trump is what Bill Clinton professed to be). But I would guess that part of what is driving this is an increasing number of leftists finally getting an opportunity to enjoy the diversity that they have been wanting for so long, but they don't want to admit that they are buying a gun because they no longer live or work in a safe neighborhood.   

Update: 

    John Hawkins at Right Wing News has some thoughts on this:

    Why are Americans buying so many guns? Why is prepping becoming more popular? Why do I personally know more than one smart person who has gone “off the grid” or bought rural farmland in recent years because they think the country is about to fall to pieces? Some people might write this off as sour grapes about the election, however, this was going on long before Joe Biden and Donald Trump started campaigning against each other.

    It’s ultimately about the fact that for a country to hold together there need to be a lot of shared values. If half the country believes in the values that made America successful in the first place while the other half of the country is demanding to live in some sort of atheistic socialist utopia that hates everything those other people believe in and stand for, we have what is known in a marriage as irreconcilable differences. Once our value systems are that far apart, there is no such thing as a win/win situation. ...
