THEY’RE TRULY HORRIBLE PEOPLE: Left Bullies Erika Kirk Months After Charlie’s Assassination.

Just as the left can’t forgive the Jews for the Holocaust, it can’t forgive Charlie Kirk for being martyred. In both cases it must try to erase the moral lesson by attacking the moral standing of the victims.

DON SURBER: Taking on foreign cash to Democrats. “This is globalism pushing bad policy in an effort to take down the United States in the name of saving the world. Bear in mind that none of the climate change rules apply to India or Red China, which just happen to be the most populous nations in the world.”

AS JUSTICE FELIX FRANKFURTER WROTE, ULTIMATELY WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS, NOT WHAT THE COURT SAYS ABOUT IT:

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

OPEN THREAD: Because I love you and want you to be happy.

TRUTH:

HMM: Physicists Have Mathematically Proven the Universe Is Not a Simulation. “Drawing on mathematical theorems related to incompleteness and indefinability, we demonstrate that a fully consistent and complete description of reality cannot be achieved through computation alone. It requires non-algorithmic understanding, which by definition is beyond algorithmic computation and therefore cannot be simulated. Hence, this universe cannot be a simulation.”

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your algorithms. On the other hand, there is Clarke’s First Law: “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”

JONATHAN TURLEY: ‘We’re coming after you’ — how the left found peace through hate. “The key to hate is to decouple it entirely from reason and reality. Only then can you hate completely without restraint or regret. It seems that the left has learned how to hate. Hateful speech is in vogue as Democratic leaders ramp up violent rhetoric and political violence rises. The key is to get voters to hate your opponent so much that they forget how much they dislike you. The irony is crushing. For years, liberals have sought to criminalize hate speech while expanding the range of viewpoints considered to fall within this category. Democratic leaders, from senators to former presidential candidates, have falsely claimed that hate speech is not protected under the First Amendment.”

ROGER KIMBALL: New York Reruns: What Mamdani Means for New York.

The thing to remember is, a poor, crime-ridden New York that drives out the well-off and middle class isn’t an accident. It’s the goal. It’s easier for leftist politicians to rule and rape an unhealthy polity than a healthy one. See, e.g., Detroit, Memphis, etc.
