@PaulRBerg @davidboxenhorn He is probably the most extreme bigot treated as a respected person in the public eye, or was maybe before we elected some terrorists to Congress.

Telling bit from recent Rubio interview on the ICC: the issue the US has about the ICC going after Netanyahu is not about Israel, it's about the ICC setting a precedent of going after a non-signatory state, which they want to use after that to go after Americans. Very true.

Looking forward to sharing a prison cell with @GadSaad and @jihadwatchRS if the useful idiots pass this bill in New Jersey.

Assembly Bill A1146 (2026–2027 session), sponsored by Assemblyman Joe Danielsen (D) and co-sponsored by other Democrats.

Islamophobia: a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness, which may be expressed as hatred toward Muslim persons, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Hatred or severe disparagement toward Muslim persons or their culture.

2. Hostility and fear of Islam, and as a result, a fear of and aversion to all Muslims or the majority of Muslims.

3. Discrimination, harassment, prejudice, and unequal treatment of Muslim persons or Muslim-majority communities.

4. Exclusion of Muslim persons or Muslim-majority communities from major political and social spheres.

5. Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Muslims (or Muslims as a collective group), especially conspiracies about Muslims entering politics/government/other institutions, the “myth” of Muslim identity having a unique propensity for terrorism, and claims of a demographic threat or Muslim takeover.

6. Rhetorical, violent, or physical anti-Muslim manifestations directed against Muslim or non-Muslim individuals, their property, or Muslim community institutions and religious facilities.

7. Shouting, verbal or physical abuse, pushing, spitting, pulling hijabs from Muslim women, and other prejudicial abuses targeting Muslims.

8. Calling for, aiding, encouraging, supporting, or justifying the killing, harming, or defaming of anyone simply for practicing Islam or exhibiting a Muslim identity or heritage.

9. Expressing an outlook or worldview involving an unfounded dread and dislike of Muslims that results in practices of exclusion and discrimination.

11. Accusing Muslim citizens of being more loyal to a transnational Muslim community, their countries of origin, or the alleged priorities of Muslims worldwide than to the interests of New Jersey or the United States.

12. Accusing those practicing Islam (or exhibiting Muslim identity/heritage), individually or collectively, of being wholly responsible for any real or imagined wrongdoing by any Muslim-majority country.

13. Accusing those practicing Islam (or exhibiting Muslim identity/heritage), individually or collectively, of being more loyal to any foreign Muslim-majority country or the alleged priorities of Muslims worldwide than to the interests of New Jersey or the United States.

I am ashamed. The Irish have forgotten the debt we owe the Jewish community.

Michael Collins once hid from the Black and Tans among Dublin’s Jews, disguised as an elderly man walking to synagogue.

Today, Irish Jewish children are called “baby killers” at school.

Ireland has forgotten the Jews who helped win its independence.

The war in Iran is unpopular, but defeat would be far less popular. Three generations of soldiers have fought these barbarians. We owe it to our country and the West not to make it a fourth, writes @TimSheehyMT

I’m glad the Dutch prime minister put a mezuzah on his door. I wonder what he would say to a Dutch Jew who wanted to bring one home from Jerusalem. If it was made in the Jewish quarter in East Jerusalem, bringing it home could lead to prosecution.

You can put mezuzot on every door in the country. But if you refuse to ask what the demonization of Israel has to do with the fear Dutch Jews feel when they put one on theirs, your solidarity is largely performative.

@Tablesalt13 @MoutalRoland That’s a very old interview so it can’t be a bombshell. I love watching Harper clips, but it’s still clickbait because of its age.

My mother likes her AOL account and she is also an expert at using AI to enhance photographs and she has a ton of friends and her family loves her and she votes Republican. No need to be a condescending asshole to older Americans.

Very true. Well said.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

@marklevinshow The VP's team gives a ton of access to reporters and leaks to reporters in exchange for stories like this.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

Politico is working on a "story" that criticism of the VP from Brian Kilmeade, Marc Theissan, and me are broadening and strengthening his support.  Now, folks, I've been around a few years.  I've seen presidents and vice presidents come and go.  I've seen politicians come and go.  I've also seen campaign operatives and surrogates manipulate a willing media in hopes of creating a pseudo-news story to advance an agenda.  In the case of the reporter, better access.  In the case of the politician, to discourage criticism.  We are not going to be played.  That said, I assume that those who criticize the VP and/or his positions will be encouraged to do so by the VP and his operatives since, according to the story to be published, it is helping him!

[Alan F Jr @AlanFJr]

The number of good people in Gaza is far exceeded by really bad people, and the world knows there’s very little you can do for a population where the really bad far exceed the good.

Hamas needs to be disarmed and disbanded and the Gazan people should be allowed to relocate elsewhere while this process plays out.

You pretend to be a “liberal” but you continue to support the Palestinian terror against Israel and Jews. Supporting different Palestinian terrorist organizations isn’t really an improvement. You’re not an asset to the people.

It wasn't fun for Germans living in the ruins of Berlin in the winter of 1945. Do you know what they did? They surrendered.

[Gates Garcia @GatesGarciaFL]

The Groypers have a fascinating political strategy:

Adopt 100% of our agenda or we'll help elect Democrats who oppose 90% of it.

No compromise. No coalition. No concessions.

Ross Perot split the right in 1992. The Bull Moose revolt fractured Republicans in 1912 and helped hand Woodrow Wilson the White House. The Students for a Democratic Society imploded in 1969 because its factions couldn't agree on whose revolution was pure enough. The Weather Underground took radicalism to such extremes that it abandoned persuasion for violence and political irrelevance. And William F. Buckley understood that the John Birch Society's conspiratorial fringe threatened the credibility of the entire conservative movement.

Different movements. Different circumstances. Same recurring lesson: ideological purity is not a substitute for political effectiveness.

But the Groypers have taken it a step further. They openly urged Americans to vote Democrat in the midterms.

Their platform couldn't win a national election, so their strategy is to make sure Republicans can't either.

And what exactly does that accomplish?

Neither outcome advances their stated cause. In fact, it sets them further back.

The obsession with Israel isn't some revolutionary new discovery. Antisemitic conspiracy theories have been around for centuries. Read a history book. The Iran War will eventually end. The headlines will change. And I suspect many of these influencers will simply chase whatever grievance the algorithm, including potentially foreign-influenced amplification, rewards next.

That's not a political philosophy. It's a business model built on resentment.

And eventually, I believe a lot of young people will wake up after a few election cycles and realize the Groypers didn't just lead them nowhere. They actually set them back.

Politics is a long game.

It's called CONSERVATISM for a reason.

We're trying to conserve what's been great, not perfect, about this country for 250 years so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy it for the next 250.

That requires patience. Persuasion. Building coalitions. Winning elections. And understanding that getting 70% of what you want is infinitely better than helping elect someone who will give you none of it.

I also think most young men will eventually grow out of this. Have you ever met an older Groyper?

Young men have a natural instinct to admire and emulate other men. That's a good thing. Look at the military heroes we honored on Veterans Day. Men who put service before self, sacrifice before comfort, and duty before applause.

I don't know of any Groypers serving in the Navy SEALs. But I know plenty of men in uniform who embody the kind of masculinity worth aspiring to.

Also, for all the talk about saving Western civilization, how often do you hear these guys talking about building strong marriages, raising children, serving their communities, or deepening their faith?

Because those are the very institutions that make a civilization worth conserving.

You don't save Western civilization by spending your twenties angry at strangers on the internet. You save it by becoming the kind of man capable of passing it down.

Ultimately, the ingredients of a meaningful life haven't changed. Faith. Family. Duty. Service. Love of country.

Those things produce lasting fulfillment and human flourishing. Online grievance politics doesn't.

So here's my advice to young men tempted by this movement:

Stop looking for someone to blame and start building something worth defending.

Go to church. Grow your family. Love America.

And remember: The goal of conservatism isn't to win an argument on the internet. It's to leave your children a country worth inheriting.

The autistic girl laughs at people still continuing Climate activism that she abandoned because she makes more money now on newer grifts.

[eugyppius @eugyppius1]

Greta Thunberg is told about the latest Fridays for Future demo happening in Berlin – the climate protest she helped found. She bursts out in laughter. "Really? They're still doing that?"
Jokes on you climatetards. Left has moved on.
