So all mosques?

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Actually, I was sarcastically suggesting that these are not in fact reasonable people with whom we can cut a wonderful deal. Because they aren't. No wonderful deal is available under current conditions. The worst available option remains a crappy deal. As it always was.

You and others (MBD, e.g.) ask what we should do, then. As I have said many, MANY times on the show, here are some options:

1. Ramp up economic and military pressure dramatically so as to achieve our interests, through their capitulation or otherwise. This could include taking out Kharg and South Pars, thus destroying their export capacity and removing their relevance to the Chinese -- and making them an obstacle to Chinese economic growth given that they will then be an oil-free irritant holding up regional oil flow. It could also include destroying Pickaxe Mountain, where they have apparently hidden their remaining nuclear program. We could then continue to radically ramp up our domestic oil production as well as oil production in Venezuela, and leave the issue of the Strait to the far more interested actors including the Chinese, Japanese, and Europeans, while maintaining our crippling economic sanctions.

2. Leave right now and simply maintain our economic sanctions on Iran. Declare, correctly, that we have crippled their nuclear program and missile and drone production facilities. And free the hands of our allies -- including Israel, UAE and Saudi -- to perform overwatch function on the Iranians. As for the Strait, same recommendation as the above.

I believe that (1) is better than (2) insofar as it prevents the near- and mid-term rearmament of Iran and puts the regime on extraordinarily tenuous footing for the foreseeable future; the only possibility of recovery becomes reintegration into the world economy, which we can stop. All of which would give us actual negotiating leverage, if there is any to be had. But (2) is still better than, say, a truly garbage MOU that hands Iran pretty much everything in exchange for pretty much nothing.

But thanks, as always, for your deliberately misleading analysis that relies on throwing around charges of "effeminate" posting. And Sean, I do have to say for the record that when it comes to passive-aggressive effeminate posting, you have no peer.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Your contention that the two alternatives are (1) "negotiating with bad people" or (2) "demanding war until every possible enemy is dead" is silly and reductive. Of course.

Not every bad actor is bad in the same way; not all negotiations are equal; few victories require total annihilation rather than thorough defeat. The question is how much force is required to achieve America's interest. The answer depends on several factors, including the reliability of Iran's commitments; the credibility of our threat of force; and the amount of pain they can withstand and our willingness to bring that amount of pain to bear.

But here's what won't do it: taking the Obama position that the only alternative to "demanding war until every possible enemy is dead" is cutting a truly crappy deal with an overtly dishonest enemy dedicated to destroying America and her allies.

But I think you know that. Which is why you went with the reductive silliness.

@calvinrobinson @conservmillen Is this you? @calvinrobinson

I think your exact words are:

“I would love for you to come and preach at my church once I’m ordained, I think you are a fantastic preacher, keep preaching the good word.”

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

@calvinrobinson Hey Calvin! When you were on my show a few years ago, you asked me to come speak at your church, and I told you I wouldn’t teach a mixed crowd at church. You were surprised! I haven’t changed at all; you’ve changed a lot. And not for the better. Such a shame.

Homosexual man at Berlin Pride says Muslims are their allies, then Muslim commits vehicular jihad at same event

Some people’s balloon never lands. Leftists are so narcissistic and so arrogant, and so besotted with their Marxist intersectionality garbage, that it never occurs to them that the whole world doesn’t think the same way, and that the Muslims they love so much don’t reciprocate their affection. Also, leftists are generally atheists, and have no idea of the depth and power of the religious impulse. And so if they know at all that Islam mandates death for homosexual activity, they dismiss that fact and assume that Muslims don’t take it seriously. And some don’t. But some do.

So what he's saying is that Jews are guilty of antisemitism? 🤡

Just another example of someone who is intellectually handicapped but desperately thinks they're capable of appearing smart.

I would have quote posted him, but after quote-posting me, this account immediately blocked me despite there being zero interaction between us. 🥲

[Samuel Sey @SlowToWrite]

I think one of the reasons why JD Vance refuses to condemn the Groypers and Jew-haters is because he thinks making them an enemy will hurt his political career.

But Candace Owens’ betrayal of Charlie Kirk should be a reminder that it’s always wise to explicitly rebuke evil people who claim to be on your side.

Before it’s too late.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

My story about pulling our son out of NC public schools to homeschool him reached far more people than I expected.

So I owe you the full explanation. Fair warning: it's worse than you think.

1) My son was in a class with many kids that could not speak the English language.

Zero English. None. Not a word.

You might be asking yourself... well, how did lessons occur in the classroom?

I'm glad you asked.

In fact, the way the teachers communicated with the Spanish-speaking only students was by using their personal iPhones as translators, speaking instructions into the iPhones, and the iPhones spitting out the Spanish instructions to the Spanish-speaking students, and then the Spanish-speaking students speaking Spanish into the iPhones, and the English questions/answers coming are read out for the teacher.

If you're exhausted just reading that...good. Now hold that feeling.

Imagine you’re an English-speaking student sitting in that same classroom, like my 5 year old son was.

Every lesson is interrupted while translations happen and naturally, the teacher’s attention is constantly divided.

The pace of learning slows DRAMATICALLY for everyone else.

The consequence is that the classroom stops being optimized for the students who can already understand the instruction and instead becomes an exercise in overcoming a language barrier that never should have existed inside an American, English-language classroom in the first place.

A place built to teach kids who are ready to learn quietly becomes a place mostly occupied with bridging a gap in language.

I don't think my five-year-old should spend one irretrievable year of his early schooling waiting at that bridge.

2) I saw the writing on the wall for the future of my county's school system and realized that not only was the future incredibly bleak, but downright aggressively woke in a way words fail to describe.

For multiple months, our school system allowed kids to:

a) Create Anti-ICE protest signs inside of the schools
b) Exit the school grounds, often WITHOUT SUPERVISION by ANYONE
c) Stand along busy highways and scream "FUCK ICE" for a few hours

Most shockingly, it was clearly encouraged by the schools, by leadership, and by many of the teachers.

That was political activism.

It gets worse... for years Buncombe County has forced biological girls to deal with biological males (who call themselves trans) to enter into girls locker rooms and bathrooms.

This has been happening for years and no one dared to try to change or speak up until very very recently... that should tell you a lot about what the school leadership believes and their political bent.

There is an evil lie that I see being spread by many that have condemned our decision to homeschool.

That lie is this:

“Public schools are neutral. By homeschooling, you’re only exposing your child to one side.”

This is a grossly evil lie.

In fact, the opposite is happening.

Schools are not neutral institutions simply because they are publicly funded; every school day has a limited number of hours, and every lesson taught means another lesson isn’t.

There is a finite amount of time in school, everyone understands this, which means priorities matter.

Every hour spent discussing political activism is an hour that isn’t spent on reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, or civics.

So when schools increasingly prioritize activism, identity politics, or current political causes... something else inevitably gets pushed aside.

Guess what? That’s not neutrality, that’s a choice.

What so many parents continue to discover is that their child comes home with a head full of ideas about the world that are purely one-sided because that's all there was time for.

Nuance is lost because nuance is time-consuming.

Is there TIME for nuance when half the class cannot speak English and you're speaking into a translator?

Of course not.

A child who can chant but cannot argue the other side hasn't been educated, they've been conditioned and the conditioners always, ALWAYS believe they're doing the child a kindness.

3) I'm fairly confident that today's school system is not designed for boys at all, it's purely designed for girls.

I'll give an example.

One of the schools in my area noticed that boys were throwing pine-cones (calling them grenades) and playing with sticks (calling them guns and swords).

This made the girls in the class uncomfortable.

So the school banned the boys from playing with sticks or pinecones outside, saying that the boys were playing "violent games" and should stop.

One group's nature (the girls) became the rule.

The other group's nature (the boys) became an problem... and once you see it, you see it everywhere.

Classrooms rewards staying still, staying quiet, non-aggression, obedience.

So ask yourself honestly... if you designed an institution that graded children partly on their ability to sit motionless for six hours, who would you expect to win?

Girls, of course.

Boys "get into trouble" FAR more often than girls, and the "offenses" are things like being too aggressive, not staying in line, fidgeting, or being "defiant" for staying buried in a book instead of the worksheet.

The punishment schools reach for first is often to take AWAY recess, which is literally the physical release every study says he needs, as the penalty for needing it!

At my table, he can stand up when he needs to move. He can go deep on the thing that lights him up instead of being dragged off it. He can build his imaginary armies.

He can be exactly the boy he is and have that be an ASSET instead of someone saying that's a problem.

4) No teacher, no matter how gifted, no matter how well-meaning, walks into that classroom knowing my son the way we know him, and no one ever will.

The single most important qualification for teaching a child isn't a degree or a curriculum or a district budget..

...it's just how much do you actually care whether this SPECIFIC kid makes it?

How far would you go for him?
How late would you stay for him?
How many times would you explain it again and again?
How completely would you refuse to give up on him?

And on that measure, the whole world loses to his mother (who will be homeschooling him), it's not even close.

Nobody on earth will ever love him more than she does.

Nobody will study him, root for him, ache for him, and delight in him the way she does every ordinary day.

There has never been anyone on this earth more qualified to raise my son than the woman whose love for him knows no depths and has no end.

Hope that helps clarify a few things.

They love this argument: If you can’t distinguish between various factions of far-leftism, then you’re automatically disqualified from having an opinion.

Up front, here are the definitions (plus bonus Leninism definition):

Communists = Strive for a classless society with common ownership of production.
Marxists = Communists who believe in a classless society as the end of history.
Leninists = Those who idolize the man who operationalized Marxism to its logical conclusion.
Socialists = Fake meaning (Berniebros): Kids who like free stuff. Real meaning (PSL, DSA): Communists who pretend to tolerate dissent.

And now here’s the reason why they’re all interchangeable and why it’s perfectly OK for everyone to use any one of those terms to refer to the others:

They all advocate to overthrow the American government via revolution. Every single faction I’ve researched has had links to foreign hostile governments in service of revolution. Rubio’s Cuba Report from last week did a good job of documenting far left ties to Cuba. But what’s not covered is their deep ties to Venezuela, Nicaragua, Iran, China, and more.

Far-leftists are fundamentally subversive to the core, with allegiances to foreign hostile governments. All of them. That’s what makes them interchangeable. Not whether they decide their party platform via Comintern vs. parliament.

They’re “populist” only insofar as their allegiance is to some arbitrary Communist utopia rather than NATO. Which, by the way, is why I’m going to call out any right-wing commentator who proposes forming alliances with so-called “left-wing populists.”

State governments must take the lead in banning far-leftists from voting in local elections or holding statewide office.

Tennessee: Islamic scholar says ‘the Fourth of July has nothing to do with us…. Our allegiance is to Allah’

The inevitable question that arises in the wake of Hamaad El-Ameen’s statements is this: Why is he in the U.S. at all? If Muslims who agree with Hamaad El-Ameen have no allegiance to the United States, why do they stay here at all? The answer is clear: they want to transform the U.S. into an Islamic state, and are working energetically toward that goal, while non-Muslim authorities remain completely clueless or condemn any effort at resistance as “Islamophobic.”

Germany: Singer at Berlin homosexual parade says she hoped attacker was not Muslim, but a white Christian

“Young singer drops the mask at the memorial event for the Islamist attack on the CSD: she had hoped that it was ‘no Kanake, but a Christian(!), white person’ who drove into people with the car. ‘Intersectionality’ and such. Insane.”

“Kanake” is a word that is usually regarded as offensive, and refers to Muslims and Arabs.

Leftists love Muslims and Islam because they hate Christians and Christianity, and Judeo-Christian civilization. Ironically, their hatred for Christianity stems largely from their rejection of its sexual morality, particularly regarding homosexuality.
