Restoring free speech is just the starting point. It puts everyone on a level playing field, but it doesn't orient anyone to the truth. It's far more likely to be abused in pursuit of profit and popularity than honored in defense of principles.

We need more than freedom.

Thinking about the potential transformative nature of charity: 1 Corinthians 13:3: “If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

One of the features of populism that Karlson posits is framing political groups as Us versus Them. Karlson does that too—Us classical liberals are necessarily at loggerheads with Them populists.

⚡️Disinfo Jihad⚡️

⚫️Hamas intentionally kills civilians to create sympathy for their jihad. They see Western ethics simply as weaknesses to be exploited.

⚫️The 57 Islamic nations refuse to accept any refugees, needlessly endangering civilians, to similarly encourage sympathy.

⚫️The UN has been a shameless cheerleader for jihadist terrorists every day since Oct 7th. They employ thousands of terrorists as staff, and are utterly compromised.

⚫️Most media report Hamas PR as facts, which aids terrorism. We don't trust ISIS or Russian propaganda, similarly we shouldn't rely on Hamas disinformation.

⚫️Hamas fight in civilian areas with no uniforms to maximize civilian deaths. Most media erroneously report all Hamas fighter deaths as civilian ones.

⚫️The global left amplifies jihadist propaganda. They somehow fail to understand that extremists stand against every liberal value they claim to believe in.

⚫️We must cut through the web of lies to clearly see what's going on. This is the first step to fighting the existential, civilizational threat of global jihad.

Donald Trump is almost surely going to defeat Nikki Haley for the nomination.

But Nikki Haley may well be helping to defeat Donald Trump in the general election.
