HE’S NOT WRONG:

THERE: I FIXED IT. From Ed Driscoll’s earlier posting, I’m surpised they didn’t catch this.
Oh, wait…no I’m not.

BECAUSE IT SUITS SOMEBODY’S AGENDA:

UPDATE From Ed):

RIP: Sir Tom Stoppard dead at 88: Legendary playwright won 5 Tony Awards and an Oscar. “The five-time Tony winner, most famous for his groundbreaking 1966 play ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,’ died ‘peacefully’ at his home in Dorset, England, United Agents said in a statement…He additionally won an Academy Award for co-writing Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1999 hit film ‘Shakespeare In Love.’ Other screenwriting credits include ‘Empire of the Sun’ (1987) and ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’ (1989).”

THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BECOME A TREND: NYC serial spitter bloodied in street-style justice during epic beatdown: ‘Worse than jail.’ “Anthony Caines — the sicko busted by the NYPD for allegedly spitting in the faces of white women who passed him in Williamsburg — has apparently been on the receiving end of some street-style justice. Video footage shared on social media showed two men beating and kicking a man who appeared to be accused spitter Caines, 45, outside of a hair salon on Sixth Street. . . . Caines, curled up on the sidewalk in a defensive fetal position, is dealt multiple blows by the two attackers, whose faces are never shown.”

Ultimately, the police aren’t there to protect society from criminals. They’re there to protect criminals from society.

CHANGE:

UPDATE: America Is The World’s Hottest Economy.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Anecdotally, I drove by West Towne Mall yesterday and the parking lot was full, for the first time on Black Friday since pre-Covid. Lots of traffic in the shopping areas, too, more than in recent years.

BREAKING: ANOTHER Afghan ‘Refugee’ Goes Jihad on Us.

Unlike Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who shot two National Guard members in Washington on Wednesday, killing one of them, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay was caught in time, before he could carry out the jihad massacre he was planning in Fort Worth, Texas. Like Lakanwal, however, Alokozay came to the United States from Afghanistan in 2021, as the Biden regime was executing its catastrophically botched withdrawal from that country. And also like Lakanwal, Alokozay is proof that, contrary to assurances at the time, these Afghan “refugees” were not properly vetted, and pose a clear and present danger to Americans.

Fox News reported Saturday that Mohammad Dawood Alokozay “was arrested this week after posting a video of himself on TikTok indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of the Fort Worth area in Texas.” Alokozay was “charged at the state level with making a terroristic threat.”

Just as it welcomed Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Biden regime welcomed this latest would-be jihad mass murderer into the country in the summer of 2021 as part Operation Allies Welcome, which brought large numbers of Afghans here without making any serious effort to determine if they actually were Islamic jihadis, or were likely to become Islamic jihadis. Then on Sept. 7, 2022, Alokozay was granted the status of a lawful permanent resident of the United States.

UPDATE:

QUESTION ASKED:

As Mark Steyn wrote 20 years ago, “our tolerance of our own tolerance is making us intolerant of other people’s intolerance, which is intolerable. And, unlikely as it sounds, this has now become the highest, most rarefied form of multiculturalism. So you’re nice to gays and the Inuit? Big deal. Anyone can be tolerant of fellows like that, but tolerance of intolerance gives an even more intense frisson of pleasure to the multiculti masochists.”
