Sir Christopher Wren, a leading British architect of the 17th century, said that public buildings are “the ornament of a country”.
The misguided artistry of modernism isn’t the only thing eroding American cities. There’s a far more deeply ingrained factor of American identity that is destroying beauty: efficiency....Ironically, in its breakneck pursuit of efficiency, Kansas City actually sacrificed what would today be some of its most profitable real estate. The downtown buildings, had they not been demolished, would be worth around $655 million today.Even while brutalism’s artistic influence (and that of its ugly cousins, modernism and postmodernism) slowly fades, efficiency continues to reign. Fast food drive-thrus show no signs of slowing down. And with housing and property prices leaping upwards, there is little expendable room in budgets for buildings that are anything more than functional.
The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to issue migrants with a document certifying their identity in place of their national passports … according to this draft law, the police will be able to detain anyone, seize their documents, and prosecute them … A study showed that people who do not look Slavic are twenty times more likely to be stopped than people who do....https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/06/27/how-russia-plans-to-make-life-hell-for-migrants-a85544...As I noted in Vladimir Putin—Immigration Patriot a ZeroHedge story reported There have been widespread reports of mass deportations of Muslim migrants from Russia...I also observed This put me in mind of a campaign we conducted over a decade ago culminating in Netanyahu For President! (4) When Egypt’s President Mubarak fell in early 2011, Israel was rapidly faced with an existential problem: an accelerating influx of black Africans claiming to be refugees. Israel is the only white country with an African land border. Israel could have easily been swamped … Netanyahu acted immediately with courage and decision … He rapidly had a wall built which was a total success. He then launched a vigorous deportation campaign…There must be a reason why Russia and Israel can produce leaders who care about their nations, while the U.K. and the USA are cursed with rulers who despise them.
President Bill Clinton in 2002 had said he believed “an America without a white majority is a worthy destiny.” Clinton had told a small gathering of black columnists that, “Along with our founding, which was an act of genius, and the freeing of slaves in the Civil War and the long civil rights movement, this will arguably be the third great revolution of America, if we can prove that we literally can live without having a dominant European culture.”In a June 13, 1998 speech to the students at Portland State University, Clinton said, “Today, largely because of immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii or Houston or New York City. Within five years there will be no majority race in our largest state, California. In a little more than 50 years there will be no majority race in the United States. No other nation in history has gone through demographic change of this magnitude in so short a time.” Students applauded Clinton’s remarks.

I'm from Grand Rapids Michigan and I remember those cereal tours. You would get a bunch of free boxes at the end.
The best part of the cereals of 60s 70s and 80s were the prizes packed inside.
When Saturday morning cartoons fell off, so did the cereal industry
I stopped eating cereal because I don’t consider it real food.
It wasn't cereal alone; it was the whole carb-centered, low-fat/fat-free dietary hypothesis it was a part of, represented by the USDA's Food Pyramid. Bad science produced decades of misinformation and counterproductive dietary habits, of which the cereal and OJ breakfast was only one.
we know carbs are bad
food is made of animals
