Middle Eastern sources write that the missile defense system was unable to intercept Iranian missiles "as expected" missiles, targeting Dimona. It's worth noting that this Israeli city, or rather its surroundings, is home to the Israeli nuclear center.

At the same time, eyewitness accounts are emerging according to which at least one of the Iranian missiles was slightly deflected from its trajectory by the IDF missile defense system, and its flight parameters changed.

Now, Israeli media are reporting that at least 47 people were injured in a missile strike on the city of Dimona. Moreover, footage from Dimona suggests that many residents decided not to take shelter before the strikes

USS Gerald R. Ford, America's newest, "most advanced," largest aircraft carrier, will likely BE OUT OF ACTION FOR A MINIMUM OF 14 MONTHS! Given the delays in our shipyards, this will undoubtedly be extended to 24 months.

 You still think it was a "Laundry Fire"?

Israel-linked arms facility set ablaze in EU (VIDEO)

 An anti-Zionist group has claimed responsibility for a fire at a warehouse belonging to a defense firm allegedly linked to Israel’s Elbit Systems in the Czech Republic. The company, however, has denied any ties to Israel, insisting its production primarily flows to Ukraine.

The Earthquake Faction, which describes itself as “an internationalist underground network,” posted a video purportedly showing the arson attack on an industrial facility in the Czech town of Pardubice on Friday, along with images of the burned-out building.

Hollywood star Jason Momoa was among thousands of Hawaiians forced to flee as a powerful storm battered the islands and caused dangerous, potentially fatal flooding.

Migrant Criminal Beats Deportation Order With Chicken Nugget Defenseby Tyler Durden

 In something you might see from the Babylon Bee, an Albanian migrant has secured the right to remain in the United Kingdom by claiming that his children hate "foreign" chicken nuggets, according to the Daily Mail.

 Klevis Disha, 39, snuck into the U.K. illegally back in 2001 as a supposed unaccompanied minor. Disha used a fake name and a bogus backstory about being born in the old Yugoslavia. His asylum bid flopped but somehow dragged on, until he snagged indefinite leave to remain in the UK in 2005, the Daily Mail reported.

Fast-forward, Disha hooked up with a girlfriend and popped out a daughter and a son, and then he got nailed in 2017 with £250,000 in dirty money he couldn't explain. The migrant was given a two-year prison sentence and a deportation order - after which Britain's Home Office tried to boot Disha, stripping his citizenship.

Not So FastDisha lawyered up and cried human rights by claiming it would be unduly harsh on his 11-year-old British son, nicknamed C in court documents, if Dad got shipped to Albania. The boy supposedly won't touch the chicken nuggets over there because of textures and a super-picky diet. Ultimately, the judge bought the picky-eater sob story.

Nigerian Researchers Accidentally Confirm Africa's Low IQ Problem

A recent randomized study by researchers in Nigeria was designed to prove the western conception of sub-Saharan Africa wrong:  They believed that Africa's average IQ was much higher than older data claimed.  But, the ultimate outcome of their testing simply reinforced what everyone else already knows.

Only 3% of participants scored above the western average of 100.  The median IQ of all participants was 69.  Over 50% of the people tested scored below 70.  To understand just how low Nigeria's averages are, the US Department of Defense in previous research has determined that an 80 IQ is the lowest score that a recruit can have and still be viable for a job in the military.

On the other end of the spectrum, a "gifted" IQ is 130 or above; only 2% of the entire human population is in this category.  This is nearly 30 points above the highest scores in the Nigerian study.

IQ measures cognitive capacity and not necessarily all forms of intelligence.  That said, it is perhaps the best measure we have to accurately predict speed of thought, pattern recognition and general success in higher education (STEM fields most of all).  IQ shifts very little over time and age, and academic improvement will rarely lead to an increase (perhaps 5-10 points in the best case scenarios).

As noted, lower IQ tends to correlate to a higher chance of criminal activity and impulsive violence.  It is not a factor that can simply be ignored for the sake of liberal virtue.  It is too dangerous to sneer at.

This is not to say that all low IQ people are dangerous criminals or that they can't function in society.  Many certainly can.  The problem is a matter of averages and risk.  Is it worth the risk to invite mass immigration from known low IQ countries in the third world given the increased chances of criminality?  The logical answer is no, of course it's not.  There's absolutely nothing to be gained.

Ideally, western nations should be looking for the best of the best of any potential immigration source.  This can be measured in a lot of ways, with loyalty and a willingness to integrate being at the top of the list.  That said, IQ should also be considered.  There's no practical excuse to dismiss it, only ideological excuses.
