In a 1990 graduate Critical Theory seminar, we were openly discussing how Islam could be leveraged as a weapon against the hegemony of Western culture. One young Jewish woman rightly asked what that allegiance might mean for women. The (female) Prof made a face and said "well there are some things the community just wont allow." Years later, that Islamic tail is wagging the leftist dog.

Reports just confirmed another slaughter in Nigeria: at least 62 dead, dozens wounded, and thousands forced to flee after armed gunmen raided a local community.

Right now, 7 out of every 10 Christian martyrs on the planet die in that single country alone. One is murdered every 86 minutes.

The legacy media will still chalk it up to "land disputes.” That is a lie. It is the targeted, systematic slaughter of Christians, as well as Muslims who aren’t radical enough.

When ISIS burned Christians in cages, the world changed the channel. When Kabul fell, they looked away. I refuse to.

This week, two brave women from my charity, @Mercury1Charity, are flying to Nigeria to help build rescue networks. It’s a humanly impossible mission, but I believe that’s where God does His best work.

A lot of the hate against @SlowToWrite is explicitly because he would call out racists like Jack, who is an overt white nationalist. Too many on the right still pretend like they don’t see Posobiec for what he is. At best, he’s an op on a mission to destroy the conservative movement from the inside. At worst, he’s actually believes the garbage he says.

The biggest mistake tourists make in Japan is dragging a fifty-pound suitcase up and down subway stairs.

Watch how Japanese travelers board the bullet train. They walk on with a cup of green tea, a small shoulder bag, and both hands free.

Where is their luggage? It is already in the next city, waiting for them.

In Japan, the system is called Takkyubin, recognizable everywhere by a logo of a mother black cat carrying her kitten gently in her mouth.

When you check out of your hotel in Tokyo at eight in the morning, you hand your heavy suitcase to the front desk, fill out a tiny slip, and pay about twenty dollars. You can even send it straight from the corner convenience store.

Then you spend the entire day wandering through mountain temples or eating street food with nothing on your back.

When you walk into your traditional inn in Kyoto that evening, your suitcase is already standing neatly in your room, wiped clean, with the handle turned toward you.

In fifty years of handling millions of bags a year, lost luggage is virtually unheard of.

A society runs smoothly when you can hand your belongings to a stranger at a convenience store and know they will beat you to your hotel.

Dear Venezuela,

You have no idea how deeply we can relate to your decades long suffering.

You have no idea how similar we are.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

NEW: Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell @FoxNews that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him.

Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.

Recently I was talking with a friend about universal geniuses. And something struck me.

Florence, 1480–1510. Same city, same moment: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Botticelli, Pico della Mirandola. Raphael right behind them. They walked the same streets.

Europe, 1600–1700. Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Pascal, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz. In two generations, we got calculus, modern mechanics, probability theory, and the scientific method.

Athens, 470–320 BC. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Phidias, Thucydides. One century, one city, and the foundations of Western thought were laid.

Europe, 1890–1930. Poincaré, Hilbert, Einstein, Marie Curie, Tesla, Planck, Bohr, then von Neumann.

Always the same pattern. In every great era, the West had 15 to 20 minds of this caliber alive at the same time. People who could touch everything and push the frontier of several fields at once.

Today we have one. Just one. Elon Musk.

And Elon is an anomaly.

Not in the sense that he shouldn't exist. In the sense that the world we built is designed so that someone like him never emerges. Statistically, he shouldn't be here.

Because what forged Elon was an absolutely insane move.

October 2002. eBay buys PayPal. Elon walks away with roughly $180M. Anyone else buys an island and never works another day.

He puts $100M into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, $10M into SolarCity. Almost everything. On rockets and electric cars, two industries no sane person wanted to touch.

2006–2008. The first three Falcon 1 launches fail. Tesla is burning cash, the financial crisis hits, investors run. He has enough left for one last launch. Just one. He borrows money from friends to pay his rent.

September 28, 2008. The fourth launch reaches orbit.

December 23, 2008. NASA awards SpaceX a $1.6B contract.

December 24, 2008. The Tesla round closes at the last possible hour. A few more days and everything collapses.

That's what a genius is. Not just IQ. The ability to put everything on the table when the entire world tells you it's impossible, and be right.

Now the real question: why do we only have one?

Because a genius needs three things. The freedom to try. The right to get massively rich if it works. The right to fail without being destroyed.

And that's exactly what the collectivist left and the technocrats have torn down across the West for the past 50 years.

They turned success into suspicion. Making a lot of money became a moral failing. Taking risks became irresponsible. Rising above the crowd became an insult to equality.

They stacked up norms, committees, permits, regulations written in Brussels by people who have never built anything in their lives. In Europe, Elon would never have been allowed to blow up three rockets. He'd have been stopped at the first form.

They want to tax capital before it even exists, cap fortunes, redistribute what others created by risking everything.

They replaced excellence with conformity. Our schools produce docile people, not dangerous ones. And a genius, by definition, is someone who disrupts. Their entire system is built to neutralize the people who disrupt.

The result: where we should have 15 to 20 universal geniuses alive at the same time, we have one.

Just one.

And you want to put him in prison.

You summon him before judges, you raid his offices, you insult him morning, noon and night, you dream of breaking up his companies. The man who lands rockets vertically and wants to take humanity to Mars.

You're disgusting.

History won't remember your names. It remembers Galileo, not the inquisitors who tried to silence him.

[David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh]

Bottom line, I suppose I'm somewhat conflicted on this whole thing. While I lament the so-called infighting with those who aren't attuned to this madness, I am still quite annoyed. So maybe that makes me a hypocrite, but antisemitism ranks among the worst of unacceptables IMHO.
