This was the top of the New York Times last night. The first thing every reader sees the moment they land on the homepage of the most influential news outlet on earth. All three stories about Israel.

There is a famous communications scholar named Maxwell McCombs who developed what is now called the "agenda setting theory."

His core finding is simple: The press is not very good at telling people what to think. It is extraordinarily good, however, at telling people what to think ABOUT.

And what the New York Times has decided you should think about, every single day, multiple times a day, forever and always, is Israel.

You cannot saturate the most influential newsroom in the English language with relentless coverage of one small country and then act surprised when the public becomes similarly hyper-fixated with it.

The animosity we constantly see is the predictable output of editorial selection, repeated daily, until it becomes the background music of how people think about the Jewish state.

99% of discourse with a leftist is just them making this face and looking for ways to ruin your life.

When I told @ScottPelley that the FBI questioned one of our Moms for speaking at a school board meeting, his dismissive response—“the FBI doesn’t call people on the phone”—essentially called me a liar.

Scott showed a “breathtaking, completely lack of empathy, callousness and inhumanity.”

Today's award for the indoctrination of children goes to the Irish Education Dept. who couldn't quite manage to write the word "woman" after the word "pregnant" in an exam paper.

Irish children taking their Applied Leaving Certificate Social Education exam were asked questions about a "pregnant person" and presented with an image of a "person" with an obscured face.

Just listen: so calm, clear and measured. Not a scrap of hatred in these words from @michaelpforan

Although deleted, the NAMP document can still be accessed through the Wayback Machine. There are some really crazy things inside.

First, Kabbani redefines antisemitism out of existence. Citing Georgetown professor John Esposito, he argues that "Semitism" originally referred to speakers of Semitic languages, which includes Arabs, so Islamophobia is "a modern kind of antisemitism." The word coined to describe anti-Jewish hatred gets repurposed into something Muslims primarily suffer from.

Esposito happens to be a self-described "very close friend" and longtime defender of Sami Al-Arian, the convicted Palestinian Islamic Jihad financier who was deported to Turkey.

Second, Kabbani doesn't just call the IDF a terrorist organization. He lists sixteen "genocides" he attributes to "Zionist terrorist groups including the IDF" since 1947 — none of which were even remotely close to actual genocide, obviously.

These include Haifa, Deir Yassin, Tantura, Al-Lydd, Qibya, Kafr Qasim, Khan Younis, Abou Zaabal, Bahr al-Baqar, Sabra and Shatila, Al-Aqsa, The Cave of the Patriarchs, Qana, Jenin, Gaza in 2008, 2012, and 2014. And the ongoing "Gaza genocide" now.

Third, Kabbani writes that "not a single Israeli infant was a casualty during the said attacks" and that the one child who died "occurred two days following the attack, with circumstances involving IDF gunfire."

Yet Amnesty International — no friend of Isrel — has documented at least 36 Israeli children murdered that day. And yes, one infant was decapitated.

Despite all this, NAMP is still affiliated with 16 of Britain's 43 police forces. The College of Policing still calls them "an important part of policing."

@420DeLaTour420 @LizaRosen0000 @grok is the @LizaRosen0000 post true?

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

It is not gay if the prisoners bleed and faint from the pain.

Iran’s Ayatollahs issued religious rulings obliging regime agents to rape male prisoners and inflict unbearable pain specifically to avoid homosexuality charges. The ruling requires rape by several male agents to ensure the victim does not enjoy it, bleeds heavily, and suffers extreme trauma.

In 2009, after the disputed election and amid widespread reports of prison rape and torture, Ayatollah Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi ordered the IRGC and morality police to rape female prisoners for pain, trauma, and discipline. The instructions told agents to satisfy themselves and Allah — vaginally or anally — preferably without witnesses, after performing washing and prayer rituals.

For male prisoners, rape is considered permissible and dedicated to Allah. It is to be carried out with other agents who ensure the victim feels no pleasure, only maximum pain — often resulting in severe injury or death.

These practices are not isolated incidents. They have been reported for years in Iran’s most notorious prisons, including Kahrizak and Evin, backed by multiple testimonies and human rights documentation.

This is the true face of the Islamic Republic. A regime that claims religious and moral superiority while officially sanctioning the systematic rape of its own citizens as a tool of control and punishment. This is not a deviation from Islam — it is a logical application of Sharia-based jurisprudence when the state has absolute power.

The same regime that Western politicians still try to negotiate with, appease, and sometimes even legitimize.

Many (including myself) have cited the pernicious influence of TQ+ activism on LGB acceptance. Still others have noted the illiberal turn of recent gay rights activism.

The increasing candor with which the material facts of gay sex are broadcast everywhere may also be playing a role.

Whoever interpreted acceptance of homosexuality as a release from basic standards of decorum and decency erred badly, and in fact vindicated the predictions of opponents of the cause. They said it would be this way, and so it is.
