In the 1960s Nevada was a 92.3% White state with a rapidly growing population and a booming economy.
Ranching, mining, gambling, science, and tourism were making Nevada, and Nevadans, rich at record pace.
Today, Nevada is just 45.9% White and the state has entered a period of stagnation.
Nevada has the second highest unemployment rate of any state (behind only California), and a real median household income which has been stagnant since 2000.
Diversity has derailed Nevada.

"The Great Replacement in Nevada"
Before the passage of the 1965 immigration act the White population of Nevada was growing, increasingly wealthy, and on the path to building a strong ranching, mining, and tourism society from once barren desert.
Between the turn of the 20th century and 1960, the White population of Nevada increased in both number and share. By the 1960s Whites were 92.3% of the state population.
The White population continued to grow until the Reagan Amnesty, the 1965 immigration act, and mass illegal immigration served to inundate the state with both legal and illegal immigrants.
Today Nevada's immigrants comprise 20% of the state population, while non-Whites comprise the majority.
Whites have fallen to just 45.9% of Nevada's population.
Non-White violence dominates Nevada's schools, and economic stagnation defines the state's cities and towns.
Still, all is not lost.
A policy of actively non-citizens, fraudsters, and their children, could restore the White population of Nevada to a 57.1% share of the state's demographic pie.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 New Base Protection Training Emphasizes Asymmetric Threats, ‘Homeland is Not a Sanctuary’
🔶️ U.S. military forces training and deploying from their bases and stations for a future conflict or crisis will likely face a growing variety of threats close to home. Base intruders, drone swarms, civilian protests, cyber hackers, disinformation campaigns, natural disasters or power outages all can disrupt or thwart unit training and unit deployments.
🔶️ Scripted, tabletop command-post exercises have long been the norm for annual base drills focused on anti-terrorism and force protection. But Marine Corps Installations-West officials in the Southwest have been shifting to the offensive, so to speak, to defend the home front.
🇨🇳 “We’re not dismissing that threat,” Laing said, “but what we’ve done is we’ve opened the aperture now. What is our ability to defend against a state actor through multiple domains that’s also tied to asymmetrical threats?”
⚡️ “The homeland is not a sanctuary,” Col. Philip Laing, MCI-West’s chief of staff at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, said in a recent interview.
🔶️ Last month Marine Corps Reserve personnel for the first time played the role of “enemy” or opposition forces through five days of unscripted free play during MCI-West region’s annual Semper Durus exercise. Adding operational forces to operational scenarios of I Marine Expeditionary Force and joint forces deploying and projecting power overseas marked “a significant change in the exercise design … and exercise objectives,” Laing said, noting “it forces you to think and fight a living, breathing adversary.”
🇷🇺 “So how do we support that effort … and how do we protect that?” he added. “How do we enable and protect power projection against a multi-faceted, multi-domain threat of a state adversary that’s also tied to an asymmetrical threat of opportunistic formations or parties that will take advantage? So that’s what is different this year.”
🔶️ They brainstormed and crafted scenarios, delving into their own military and civilian experiences to develop scenarios of “things that realistically could happen, with or without bad actors,” he added. Cutting electrical power to a camp, for example, “causes them their second and third order of effects” that base commanders then must immediately grapple with amid other missions. One scenario earlier that morning had a vehicle carrying hazardous materials crash by a base water treatment facility, raising questions about impacts to water safety and health.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 📝 In all seriousness, an "Iron Dome" is the future of the US. Regardless of what your politics are, it would simply be a product of the time we live in. | CIG #commentary
🔶️ Current wars, terrorism and crime are showing off new weapon capabilities. It is only a matter of time until a hostile entity decides to make spectacle out of harassing the continental United States either with symbolic or saturation drone attacks. No worse case scenario with China/Russia necessary, it doesn't require state actors. And if it did escalate to that point, a missile shield wouldn't block massed hypersonic ICBMs entering from outer space, especially not an Iron-Dome like shield which is designed for "short-range" projectiles launched approximately 43 miles out. A US Iron Dome would be specifically for asymmetrical drone threats.
🔶️ The cartels in Mexico already commit mass murders and assassinations with drones. They've already used drones passively against the US border patrol for a decade. How long until they progress towards fixed wing FPV projectiles? In fact, moving hardware or at least blueprints for such designs would provoke unilateral US actions without warning. The precedent of this would be the 1914 US invasion of Mexico's Vera Cruz port awaiting alledged German arms shipments for possible use against the US during WWI.
🔶️ Rival powers opposed to the US have months, even years of experience with the US systems that would be used for interceptions. Simply by virtue of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The lesson they learned is that even if all drones are intercepted, they're still able to deny key chokepoints. Possibly sealanes in proximity to the US, perhaps the Panama Canal, the Gulf of Mexico route to the Mississippi, St. Lawrence River/Gulf with submerged drones, cargo ships with discreetly containerized launch systems? Again, they may seek a symbolic strike even in uninhabited areas to play into fears of the general public rather than successfully carrying out a mass atrocity against civilians.
🔶️ Aside from rival powers, keep in mind there's an entire Global South of militant factions with axes to grind against the US that may be supplied and guided by hostile powers. This is a very real emerging threat that should be taken into account in the coming years. The proof is in the combat medals awarded to sailors in the Red Sea. This is not strictly just for the US, all developed and developing nations may find themselves in a global arms race to protect themselves from new militantism.
🔶️ So, for a million-dollar, perhaps billion-dollar idea, it's not a bad one. The big R&D game right now is finding ways to counter drone swarms. The main concern should be, will it work? Nobody can say for sure.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Biden Announces New Actions to Secure the Border
📖 President Biden believes we must secure our border. That is why today, he announced executive actions to bar migrants who cross our Southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum. These actions will be in effect when high levels of encounters at the Southern Border exceed our ability to deliver timely consequences, as is the case today. They will make it easier for immigration officers to remove those without a lawful basis to remain and reduce the burden on our Border Patrol agents.
📢 The Biden-Harris Administration’s executive actions will:
🔶️ Bar Migrants Who Cross the Southern Border Unlawfully From Receiving Asylum
🔶️ Recent Actions to secure our border and address our broken immigration system:
🔶️ Strengthening the Asylum Screening Process
🔶️ Revoked visas of CEOs and government officials who profit from migrants coming to the U.S. unlawfully
🔶️ Expanded Efforts to Dismantle Human Smuggling and Support Immigration Prosecutions
🔶️ Seizing Fentanyl at our Border

🏹 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Nato land corridors could rush US troops to front line in event of European war
🔶️ Nato is developing multiple “land corridors” to rush US troops and armour to the front lines in the event of a major European ground war with Russia.
🔶️ American soldiers would land at one of five ports and be channelled along pre-planned logistical routes to confront a possible attack by Moscow, officials told The Telegraph.
🔶️ Logistical routes have become a key priority since Nato leaders agreed to prepare 300,000 troops to be kept in a state of high readiness to defend the alliance at a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, last year.
🔶️ Existing plans have US troops landing at Dutch ports before boarding trains that transport them through Germany and onwards to Poland.
🔶️ In the event of a Russian invasion of Nato, US troops would be shipped to the port of Rotterdam before being transported eastward.
🔶️ But arrangements are also being made behind the scenes to expand the routes to other ports to ensure the ground line of communications cannot be severed by Moscow’s forces.
🔶️ If Nato forces entering from the Netherlands are hit by Russian bombardment, or northern European ports destroyed, the alliance is set to shift focus to ports in Italy, Greece and Turkey.
🔶️ Similar plans exist to transport forces from Turkish and Greek ports through Bulgaria and Romania to reach the alliance’s eastern flank.
🔶️ Plans are also being drawn up to transport troops via ports in the Balkans, as well as through Norway, Sweden and Finland.
🔶️ But after warnings that Nato only has 5 per cent of the necessary air defences to cover its eastern flank, the Jsec commander is concerned about surface-to-air capabilities to defend his key logistical hubs.
🔶️ “Observing and assessing the Russian war in Ukraine, we have observed Russia has attacked Ukraine’s logistics bases,” he said.
🔶️ “That must lead to the conclusion that it is clear that huge logistics bases, as we know it from Afghanistan and Iraq, are no longer possible, because they will be attacked and destroyed very early on in a conflict situation.”
🔶️ “With regards to air defence... It’s always scarce. I cannot imagine a situation that you have enough air defence. That is a good example where a military principle apples: ‘If you want to be strong everywhere, you are strong nowhere.’”

🔶️ Despite being considered the biggest military force in the world, the United States doesn’t have the largest army in terms of personnel.
🔶️ China has the largest standing army, with over 2 million active personnel. With increasing defense spending over the last decades, the country also ranks third in the number of tanks and second in the number of aircraft carriers in service.
🔶️ When reserve personnel are included, however, the Chinese military falls behind those of Vietnam, India, South Korea, and Russia.
🔶️ Vietnam’s forces include 600,000 active personnel and over 5 million in reserve. This is because Vietnam, along with countries like South Korea and Israel, has a standing policy of conscription for young adults.
🔶️ Interestingly, the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted in a massive increase in Ukrainian personnel numbers. Active personnel rose from around 170,000 in 2016 to over 900,000.
