It remains impressive how liberals can spread disinformation with impunity while supporting censorship in the name of combating disinformation. https://t.co/UAojD6zl8b Laurence Tribe's claim that Kirk's shooter was MAGA takes disinformation to a new delusional level…
IT’S A RIDDLE WRAPPED IN A MYSTERY INSIDE AN ENIGMA:
People can't decide if the problem is radical left-wing terrorists on Discord, radical left-wing terrorists on Reddit, or radical left-wing terrorists on college campuses. If only there was a common denominator we could focus on.
“Where were you when Charlie died?” Like the JFK assassination, this brutal murder will not be forgotten, not for many years to come.
You just felt it [Wednesday]. Something happened that pierced America’s soul — deeply. The non-stop media coverage across the dial (and the political spectrum) all afternoon and into the night. One analyst after the next choking back tears. The beautiful, heartfelt notes of sympathy from his political rivals. The announcement of his passing delivered to a shocked nation by the President of the United States himself, who then ordered all flags lowered to half staff.
Like Kennedy’s assassination, and the attempted assassinations of Reagan and Trump, 9/11, and the Challenger explosion, Kirk’s death is one of those moments we’ll all remember where we were when the news first broke, and then the dreadful news, about an hour and a half later that he was gone. RIP.
If an alien descended and was asked whether actors in the West would tend to boycott the democracy or the extremist state, it surely would plump for the latter. The values of toleration, individual rights and free association that we hold most dear must surely be promoted.
You know where I’m going with this. This week, 1,300 actors and filmmakers including Olivia Colman, Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem and Tilda Swinton signed a pledge to boycott Israeli film companies (which, tending to be rather left-wing, oppose Benjamin Netanyahu and the war in Gaza with greater venom than anybody else).
Obama’s Iran deal restructured the Democratic Party. Inverting U.S. foreign policy by replacing Israel with the regime that embodies exterminationist antisemitism was also a domestic stratagem to break Jewish power in the Democratic Party. It’s helpful to understand the post-Oct. 7 pro-Hamas protests in that light.
While many lifelong Jewish Democrats were shocked that the demonstrations were so openly antisemitic, calling for genocide of the Jews, this was precisely the point of Obama’s design: Negating Israel and prioritizing anti-Israel activists in the party’s hierarchy could lead only to the Democrats sanctioning anti-Israel activists who celebrated the murder of thousands of Israelis. That is, the protests that honored the Palestinians’ campaign of rape, torture, and murder—remember, the rallies started even before Israel launched reprisals—showed how wildly Obama’s policy had succeeded.
A Texas professor has been fired, accused of “inciting violence” after video surfaced on social media of a speech he gave at a socialist conference.
Thomas Alter, a history professor at Texas State University, in San Marcos*, was fired on Wednesday, Sept. 10 school officials said. His profile on the university website was taken down as of Sept. 11.
In the video, Alter is seen speaking on a Zoom call during a recent online Revolutionary Socialism Conference, wherein he calls for the creation of a “Revolutionary Socialist Party” and discusses why he believes previous attempts to establish a lasting, effective socialist movement in the U.S. have failed.
“Without organization, how can anyone expect to overthrow the most bloodthirsty**, profit-driven, mad organization in the history of the world, that of the U.S. government?” he says.
In a statement, TSU University System Chancellor Brian McCall said the university “will not tolerate conduct by any employee intended to incite violence,” pointing to “video recordings made public this week in which a … professor advocated for the overthrow of our government” as the reason for terminating Alter’s employment.
University president Kelly Damphousse echoed that sentiment in an X post, saying “after reviewing statements made … at a recent conference, I determined that (the professor) engaged in serious professional misconduct.”
JOSHUA TREVIÑO: Charlie Kirk, Martyr. “Millions of Kirk’s disciples may conclude that no politics is possible with an antagonist that reserves murder as its redoubt when argument fails.”
Plus: Adrian Vermeule: Reflections from a Vigil for Charlie Kirk. “He was in some way a remnant of an older America, which of course means a younger America. An America filled with faith, buoyant with energy and confidence and optimism. An America in which everyone trusted in the goodwill and good sense of their fellow citizens and believed that talking it out in a town square or a town meeting was just the way we do things here. Now I personally don’t necessarily share that trust, or maybe I think that our time is a darker time. But I’m glad that there was someone like Charlie who walked in the light of that America, the America that once was and might be again.”
BEAUTY SLEEP ISN’T A MYTH. “A growing body of research confirms that sleep directly shapes how our skin looks, how youthful it appears and even how attractive others perceive us to be.”
IF YOU LIVE IN THIS WORLD, YOU’RE FEELING THE CHANGE OF THE GUARD:
Martyrdom is an amazing force to behold. In my lifetime, I've never seen it, until now. I've read about it, but I've never seen it in action. Truly, an eye-opening event. Millions of hearts changed in a short amount of time. Evil exposed that has lurked in the shadows for…
