Data-rich thread on the economic consequences of tech stagnation for Europe’s prosperity and beyond
In fact, a Goldman Sachs forecast for 2075 predicts the world’s three largest economies will be China, India and the U.S.
No European country is even close
The US economy and the Eurozone were roughly the same size in 2008.

🌹 🇺🇸 CNN warns viewers that Donald Trump has a real chance of winning the *general* election against President Joe Biden.
“Donald Trump is polling better right now than basically at any point during the entire 2020 cycle.”
“So this idea that Donald Trump can't win the general election, I want you to lose that idea. This race is very, very close.”
“After four indictments, after four indictments, it just doesn't really matter… That's fascinating.”

👮♂️ 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Struggling to fill the ranks of their police officers, some blue-state politicians are turning to an unusual option: illegal immigrants.
“It’s a massive problem,” said Matt O’Brien, a former immigration judge who is now with the Immigration Reform Law Institute. “You’ve got this muddle of issues where there is no settled law, and it’s now crashing into the fact that these idiots in the defund-the-police movement have caused a crisis in law enforcement.”
“It raises questions of fairness, of conflicts of interest and security,” said Elizabeth Jacobs, director of regulatory affairs at the Center for Immigration Studies. “If we are having folks that our government knows are in violation of the law or have broken the law and we are deputizing them to enforce other laws, that doesn’t bring confidence to our legal system.”
“It’s undermining the meaning of citizenship and the essence of our immigration laws as a whole,” she said.
Particularly worrying is the scenario of a smuggling cartel sending operatives across the border, or recruiting from among the mass of migrants who still owe cartels for the journey, and having them sign up for a police force.

🇲🇽 🏴☠️ 🇺🇸 Texas Massacre Happened in America’s Largest Illegal Immigrant “Colonia” — and Major U.S. Media Won’t Say So
How at least 50,000 illegal immigrants have changed once-rural East Texas hinterlands for the worse
But what no media has yet reported is that this horrific crime happened in what is regarded as America’s largest settlement of illegal immigrants, one literally exploding in population amid a U.S.-government fomented mass migration border crisis. In Liberty County, and now spreading into neighboring San Jacinto County where the massacre occurred, old-timers have been fleeing a new diversity of violent crime, murder, all-night weapons firing, and cartel drug trafficking that has boomed alongside the population. Indifferent U.S. immigration enforcement agencies leave this area to itself.
“The originals” of Liberty County, Texas — the self-denoscriptor of lifelong Anglo residents like Jimmy Rollins, who trace their lineage to early settler families — have mostly fled what they regard as ruinous, irredeemable change.
In June 2022, a Liberty County dog brought home a human hand, which led to the discovery of a badly decomposed body of a man who had been buried with his gun. Police couldn’t identify the corpse and were left to post photos of the clothing in hopes someone would recognize them.
In September 2022, passersby in Colony Ridge found the body of a 16-year-old Honduran girl who’d been shot to death and dumped in a ditch by the side of a road, still wearing her uniform from her work bussing tables at a local restaurant. Gang unit police arrested three foreign nationals, all under 21, and charged them with the murder of Emily Rodriguez-Avila, citing “gang overtones” as a motive. The family shipped her body back to Honduras for burial.
Evidence of cartel involvement dates to the earliest days of the illegal-alien settlement boom. To at least 2013, when federal, state, and local investigators raided a Mexican drug cartel’s marijuana grow operation on 300 acres in Liberty County, finding explosives, 6,000 marijuana plants, worker bunk houses, and guard towers. Local police at the time called it the “largest and most sophisticated marijuana-growing operation” in the county’s history.
In July 2021, the DEA broke that dubious record with the new biggest drug bust in Liberty County history with a raid that broke up a multimillion-dollar methamphetamine manufacturing lab operating inside one of the Colony Ridge dwellings.
“The amount of gunfire that is out there would blow your mind. I have a video you can listen to on New Year’s Eve. It sounded like Falluja,” Walker recounted, moving on to, “The loud Mexican music they play from Thursday night to Sunday. They all put their music on the same f***ing station and turn it up. Our homes at one o’clock in the morning doing this ...,” Walker said, using her hand to thump the table like a drum. “And that’s why the originals all left.”

🏗 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Colony Ridge Highlights High Cost of Illegal Immigration in Texas
The biggest impact may be on local school districts, forced to take in migrant children whether they're here legally or not.
"Cleveland ISD has gone from about 3,600 students just before this Colony Ridge development started. Recently it was announced they have over 12,400 students," Chris Russo with Texans for Strong Borders.
But there are other issues within the community, which is partially funded by a major donor of Gov. Greg Abbott.
"Whether it's the owner-financed loans that are going predominantly to illegal aliens. Whether it's the drainage problems that are causing people who are downstream in the water shed to be at much higher risk of flooding. The dumping of waste into local waterways and into drainage ditches," says Russo.
All of this comes at a cost to Texas taxpayers.

How to get affordable housing in America:
Step One: Be an illegal immigrant
Step Two: ???
Step Three: Profit.
📝 Of course, these are poorly constructed homes in towns by workers of the same background as those moving in, but it exemplifies the top-down mindset that aliens are helped first, while Americans are kicked to the curb after paying for it.

🇨🇳🇸🇳 Chinese weapons supplier Norinco expands influence in West Africa
China is expanding its military and security engagement into West Africa, with Chinese state-owned defense conglomerate Norinco opened a sales office in Dakar, Senegal. Early this year, the company supplied Senegal with VN2 armored infantry fighting vehicles and other reconnaissance vehicles.
China North Industries Corporation, or Norinco, would use the new office to help expand its military procurement operations in the region, where China has vast economic interests, including in countries such as Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Guinea.
According to some media reports, Norinco also aims to set up operations in Mali and Ivory Coast – countries where the Chinese military contractor already has market presence through the sale of arms.

— "Former President Donald Trump's supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.
Previous polling gives Trump a commanding lead over his Republican rivals in the race to be the party's 2024 presidential nominee.
However, last week the former president was charged with 13 counts in an indictment by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, related to claims he broke the law attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election outcome in the state, which he has denied."
