“I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state.”

Bill Clinton

They turned down 97% of the West Bank, all of Gaza, and land swaps.

Yet the world still pretends the only obstacle to peace is Israel.

Watch.

A former Muslim warns New Yorkers about Mamdani and Islam.

“You have no idea what you’re supporting.”

[MAZE @mazemoore]

Zohran Mamdani's father: America is the root of all evil and was the inspiration for the nazis. Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln.

I'm sure Zohran loves America though. Nice job NYC.

[🐉🌿🌸Bunny🌸🌿🐉 @OsPidgey]

it is insane what blind followers of anyone online will do to someone who points out their 'hero's' flaws.

idontlistentoradiohead did nothing but spit facts, just like people pointing out his treatment of his dogs, and yet they are being mercilessly harassed by 'the good guys'

Jared Kushner on the need for a new “status quo” in the Middle East:

“We would meet with Netanyahu in Washington and he would take a commercial El Al flight to meet us…and he runs an economic super power in the region.

Abbas…represents a “refugee” group and he would fly in a $60M Boeing [private] jet….

Am I meeting with the head of a refugee group or am I meeting with a king?”

@RealCandaceO @EmmanuelMacron Why does someone who podcasts out of her basement know so much about the Middle East? How amaze!

@NerdeenKiswani Send the Nerd to Yemen! There are over 50 Islamic states she can live in!

@OnlinePalEng Wasn’t this a concentration camp on par with the Holocaust?

[Major Gaurav Arya (Retd) @majorgauravarya]

This is Dr. Tawfik Hamid, an Egyptian intellectual. This is an old video. He is saying exactly what I have been saying all along. This whole “Free Palestine” thing is absolute hogwash. It is not about the land. It never was. It is about religion.

Islamists want to wipe out the Jews. That is the bottom line. This conflict is about sanctioned religious hatred towards Jews and the State of Israel. What do you think “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” actually means?

Across the world, people who are blindly supporting Palestine should know - you are supporting Jihad. This two-state solution is nonsense. Even if Israel were to move to pre-1967 borders, this conflict will not end.

It is important for India to unequivocally stand with Israel. We are facing exactly the same threat that Israel is facing. The Lashkar e Toiba and Hamas share the same poisonous ideology. Jaish e Mohammad and Hezbollah are conjoined twins.

There is NO DIFFERENCE between 7/10 and 26/11.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

Just a few things I just spent an hour debating @marclamonthill on
1. Is Free Palestine a transphobic movement
2. Does Hamas kill trans people
3. Does Free Palestine want liberation for Palestinians, or is it a proxy battle for Islamism

It got heated.

[yah418 @yah418]

@BriannaWu I appreciate you! ❤️🙌🏼

@fnotarius @BillAckman @ZelenskyyUa @Ukraine @realDonaldTrump Exactly. Communication problems because of missed nuance was a big issue.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I totally agree that Zelensky was the problem today after watching the whole session. Don’t rely on media excerpts if you want to get to the truth.

@ZelenskyyUa mishandled this. And I say this as someone who has supported @Ukraine from the beginning of the war. @realDonaldTrump was appropriately angry, but kept his composure.

In a negotiation, you should never overplay your hand, particularly if it is a bad one, and the lives of your people are at stake.

In order to be a mediator, you can’t be viewed by either side as favoring the other. Trump is carefully and patiently playing this role. It is not helpful for Zelensky to be disrespectful.

That said, I expect Trump to continue to be the honest broker between Russia and Ukraine, but he will now likely increase what he wants for the U.S. unless Zelensky quickly apologizes and offers something to Trump. A very unfortunate day for Ukraine.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Disgusting, watch this Hamas supporter harass a Muslim NYPD officer for not adding the Islamists in their violence.

These terror supporters are truly despicable.

[yah418 @yah418]

@NerdeenKiswani Do you want Palestinian freedom? Tell Hamas to surrender. Easy.

[Luai Ahmed @JustLuai]

My speech at the UN Human Rights Council about their recent report on Israel on behalf of the @UNWatch :

I ask the UN, the Arab League, and everyone who had waving the Palestinian flag since October 7:  

Where is the flag of Yemen?

In my country, half a million people have died in the last 10 years.

The biggest famine and humanitarian crisis in modern history.

Why does no one care when half a million Yemenis die?

What about Sudan? In less than two years, more than 150,000 people have been killed.

Where is the Sudanese flag?

What about Syria?

Half a million people were killed.

Where is the Syrian flag?

High Commissioner, why is it that when Arabs kill millions of Arabs, no one bats an eye?

Where is the outrage?

Where are the protests?

High Commissioner, may I ask why your report mentions Israel 188 times — yet fails to mention the Islamic Republic in Iran even once?

How can you speak about the conflict while ignoring the party who armed, trained, and funded the terror proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis — who have been bombing Israel thousands of times?

Why don’t you mention that the Houthis in Yemen have spent millions of dollars firing missiles at Israel, instead of feeding my starving people?

And why is Qatar sitting here as a member of the Human Rights Council when they host the Hamas terror leaders in luxury hotels?

———

Their response?

Silence.

[The Night Warrior @WarriorNight007]

@elonmusk Legendary Trump moment.

He sarcastically tells Zelensky: "Wow look, you're all dressed up today"

[Will Sussman @realWillSussman]

I spent this morning with @EinatWilf, and this afternoon with @ShaiDavidai. If there is one takeaway from today, it is this:

The “pro-Palestinian” protesters are not pro-Palestinian at all.

They believe in what Dr. Wilf calls “Palestinianism,” an ideology obsessed with the nonexistence of a Jewish state from the river to the sea. Outside Barnard, the protesters chanted in Arabic, “from water to water, Palestine is Arab.”

Palestinianism is not pro-Palestinian. It is anti-Jewish, and will only result in more suffering for both peoples. If the protesters were truly pro-Palestinian, they would elevate Palestinian voices like @realbassemeid and @afalkhatib, who reject the genocidal ideology of Hamas.

Jewish students, for their part, just want to go to class.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

I'm concerned that many people do not understand the historical and institutional context in which the DOGE labor reforms are unfolding. They look at this as if these are some random, chaotic, arbitrary, strange, and even cruel measures to impose on a devoted civil service.

The reality is very different, and I'm not even sure that Elon entirely understands this. For more than a century, even dating back to 1883, the civil service has grown and grown without check from the elected branch, either the presidency or the legislature . The bureaucracies have ballooned from a few to 450 or so. The bloat and absurdities have grown too.

Get this: no one has ever known what to do about it. Not Coolidge, not Hoover, not Nixon, not Reagan, not Clinton, no one. No president has been able to crack this nut. The only reforms ever to have made it through are those that make the administrative state bigger, never smaller.

Countless cabinet secretaries have come and gone, always with the intention of making a change but leaving saddened, demoralized, outwitted, outgunned, and ultimately devoured.

No president has seriously taken on this problem because they simply did not know how. The unions are powerful, the intimidation from the deep institutional knowledge is overwhelming, the fear of the media as been powerful, and every single president comes to power vaguely feeling threatened by the intelligence agencies. The industries that have captured every single agency were also far too powerful to unseat or control.

This combination of institutional inertia has blocked serious reform for a full century. No one has dared. No one has even had a theory or strategy about what to do about this problem. It had become so terrible that most people in politics have simply surrendered, like homeowners who know there are rats in the basement and bats in the attic but long ago gave up trying to fix the issue.

All this time, the American people have felt themselves ever more oppressed, weighed upon, taxed and regulated, spied upon, brow beaten, and otherwise overwhelmed. Voting never made any difference because the politicians no longer controlled the system. The bureaucracies ruled all.

The Biden years underscored the point. We didn't even need a conscious and present executive. We only needed a figurehead to pretend to be president, just like the Soviet premiers in the old days. The institutions ran everything and the people controlled nothing.

How to deal with this? Trump alone figured it out in his last term: he simply took charge of the agencies in a limited way. There were screams of horror and plots galore. They performed a long stream of clever schemes to destroy him and show him who is boss, which is not the democratically elected president but the forces behind the scenes.

The job of the president, goes the message from all the insiders, is to PRETEND to be in charge but not actually do anything meaningful. Shut up, mug up, obey, and disturb nothing, let the administrative state do its thing without oversight or disruption, and then you will get your honorary library and bestselling autobiography and go down in history as great.

Trump refused the deal and look what happened.

Four years have gone by and Trump is back again, this time with a determination to slay this beast, one that he knows all-to-well. The efforts of DOGE and MAHA and MAGA are epic in scope, breaking a century of pathetic acquiescence toward the deep, middle, and shallow states, at last using moral courage to confront the problem head on, come what may.

They are profoundly aware that they MUST act fast and with some degree of ferocity, even recklessness, else we will default back to the status quo of leaders who pretend to be in charge while the embedded system runs things behind the scenes.

It has been this way for TOO LONG. The voters this time have demanded change, and mustered the faith to believe that change is possible. This is precisely what DOGE is attempting, to make good on a promise, a promise that for once the voters actually believed was credible.

They simply must succeed. There might never be another chance. The way of failure is the path everyone knows the US was on, toward economic stagnation, political scolerosis, and eventual irrelevance in the unfolding of the next stage of social evolution.
