1/ Yesterday after tweeting about a sophisticated 🇽🇰-based bot network which happens to target anyone critical of the govt, I got the full vile trolling treatment. It was entertaining to learn a lot about myself and see the process of charachter assasination unfold in real time.

US policy on the Gaza war appears hapless, ineffective, and immoral.

President Biden should go to Israel and speak hard truths to Israelis directly.

My take:

[Ian Borg @DeputyPMIanBorg]

The first PC of the year is also a good opportunity to meet with Heads of @OSCE Missions in Vienna.

Here is the Minister of Security of #BosniaAndHerzegovina voting for Parliament and city elections in Belgrade. How come a Minister has two registered addresses? One in #Bosnia and one in #Serbia? How can he credibly support #RuleOfLaw when he is openly violating the law?

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

NEW: Hundreds of Washington Post journalists/staff walked off the job on strike after the Post decided to go forward with massive job cuts.

The corporate media is dying in real time. You love to see it.

The 'Democracy Dies in Darkness' employees are fuming now that the Post can no longer afford to have them.

"We all work at The Washington Post because we believe in its mission and we believe in what we do. And we care deeply about the work we do, the people, the communities, the stories we cover," said reporter Marissa Lang.

"I think this indicates how seriously we all are taking this, how deeply felt a lot of these concerns are in the Washington Post newsroom and in the company at large."

It will only get worse as X takes over.
