THE NEW NATALISM: Trump’s Baby Bonds. “One of the bill’s interesting experiments is the Trump Accounts, also known as Trump Baby Bonds. They are set to expire in three years, so don’t delay taking advantage if you are interested. This is a test, and as of this summer, the details are still being hammered out.”

THAT’S A SHAME, IF TRUE: Senior Hamas officials likely survived Israeli strikes on Doha, Israeli sources say.

Israel has informed the U.S. that the chances of success of its strikes Tuesday on a Hamas residence in Doha, Qatar, have “decreased significantly,” two Israeli sources familiar with the matter told ABC News — likely confirming Hamas’ assertion that the strikes failed to kill top Hamas officials.

Five Hamas members and a Qatari official were killed in the strike. Hamas’ senior leaders survived the strike, Hamas said Tuesday.

“There was a meeting of the negotiating team and some Hamas leaders to discuss the ideas sent by the United States and the paper sent by President Trump,” Hamas political bureau official Suhail al-Hindi told Al Jazeera of when the strike took place.

Among those killed were the son of a senior Hamas leader, Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya — the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza and the head of Hamas’ negotiating team for a ceasefire with Israel — and an aide. Al-Hayya himself survived, according to Hamas.

Until Israel officials go on the record, treat this story like that anonymous leak — since disproven — that we failed to significantly set back Iran’s nuclear program.

DAMN:

It isn’t just America, either:

From the replies: “I’m in New Zealand and it is al we spoke about today, it happened here at dawn.”

I don’t know how this all sorts out, but it feels like there’s no going back to 9/9/2025.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Assassination and the Watershed Radicalization of the American Right. “Yes, the assassination of Charlie Kirk has pushed people to places that they never wanted to be pushed to. My use of the word watershed in the headline was deliberate because it means ‘turning point.’ People were already emotionally raw over the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska; Kirk’s public execution is too much to process with anything but righteous anger.”

FLASHBACK, 2009: SO WHAT AM I DOING FOR SEPT. 11TH? In the past I’ve given shooting lessons to a Marine, and over the years I’ve blogged, not blogged, etc. This year, I’m going to a Tea Party.

UPDATE: Andrew Breitbart, hanging with his homies.

Plus, me with Jim Hoft, Andrew Breitbart, Dana Loesch, and Adrian, whose last name never heard. He came all the way from Texas, though, which is pretty cool.

A FRIEND WRITES: “I hold open the possibility that Kirk’s murder was performed by foreign intelligence in an attempt to sow internal discord. So I’m not yet ready to blame the Left for the murder itself. However the *celebrations* on the Left are not a product of foreign intelligence. And everyone engaging in them, or excusing them, deserves far more than just blame. How the fuck can killing a young father in front of his children just for saying WORDS ever be considered something worth celebrating? The Left is mentally sick. Diseased. Ungrounded. Truly delusional. The evidence for this is overwhelming.”

LARRY CORREIA:

You know what’s sad? I’ve seen two kinds of liberals today. The first is just stupid evil trash, dancing in the blood, and celebrating murder. They’re basically demons.

Then there’s the ones who are still somewhat decent people trying to be human. Only before they can make a statement first they have to write this giant list of criteria and addendum of “Charlie Kirk said mean things and I disagree” and fucking paragraphs of fucking bullshit about how he was super bad and filled with hate, that way the other libs can know they are still pure and untainted so they don’t get eaten too, and ONLY THEN can they come out and declare assassinating people over politics is bad. (Even if they are racist sexist transphobic hate mongers who attack “marginalized communities”, and I want you vapid fucks to imagine I read that part in the most unctuous, smarmy, self righteous tone possible)
None of you fucking pussies can just come out and say murder is bad. Oh no. Gotta make sure your tribe of abusive weirdos doesn’t turn on you first.

You fucking cowards. I saw a bunch of these today.

Sad part is these kind of people are so up their own ass in the tribal virtue signaling, and so used to these group think purity tests, that they probably don’t even think of it anymore. Placating the bullies is reflex, because you are scared you don’t want to be the next one to get eaten. Look in your heart and you know it’s true.

Fucking pathetic, the lot of you.

Well said.

ALEX WROTE THIS JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE CHARLIE KIRK WAS ASSASSINATED: I am seeing many people who are saying that the murder of Iryna Zarutska is radicalizing them.

The radical positions they are esposing are the following:

1. A man with 14 arrests, including for assault, should have been tried and jailed (presuming guilt) for the crimes committed that led to the prior arrests.

2. A man who was a diagnosed schizophrenic with a history of violence, including assault against his sister, should have been involuntarily committed and institutionalized rather than allowed to wander the streets homeless.

3. A man who was a diagnosed schizophrenic with 13 prior arrests should not have been let free from jail on cashless bail after his 14th arrest.

4. People should be able to ride public transportation without worrying that they will be violently attacked and possibly even killed for sitting in a seat in front of another human being.

Those are the radical positions being espoused.

Read those again. Slower if you must.

And now to the list we must add: 5. People should be able to engage in civil discourse on a college campus without worrying about taking an assassin’s bullet to the neck.

Whatever happens next, if Kirk’s assassination doesn’t harden our resolve, then we’ve already lost.

And do read the whole thing.
