Diets begin and exercise regimens commence; people commit to look for new jobs, new relationships, new hobbies... addicts try to give up their demons, from candy to alcohol, from television to video games. Everything begins anew. And if you look closely, you can even see it in the news coverage. Look, for example, at the mainstream media coverage of Minnesota’s massive Somali corruption, with attitudes being wholly transformed in real time. There’s a clear process for the media to follow: The mainstream media hides the story, hoping it will go away. Eventually, after enough video exposure,

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said it succinctly on Wednesday, commenting on the news that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani intended to be sworn in on the Qur’an: “The enemy is inside the gates.” Newsmax reported Thursday that in saying this, Tuberville had “ignited a fresh political firestorm.” It was just over two weeks ago that he ignited the last one, writing that “Islam is not a religion. It's a cult. Islamists aren't here to assimilate. They're here to conquer. Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. We've got to SEND THEM HOME NOW or we'll become the United Caliphate of America.” According to Newsmax, Mamdani’s use of the Qur’an
