To the brave men and women of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we salute you. You are the very exemplar of gallantry in the world and remind us that freedom is not free ... and that those who enjoy it are indebted to those who paid the price to obtain it. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Home of the Brave

Palestinian Islamic scholar: “Europeans are lowlifes and a civilization of prostitutes, promiscuity, and homosexuality. We will conquer Paris and Rome and rule Europe with Islam.”

Search my timeline. You will find at least a hundred instances in which I opine that the 2024 election was a choice between cyanide and botulism and that both parties have been overrun by their respective lunatic fringes. You will also find a similar number of comments in which I call for splitting the Republican party, despite my being a Republican, as I find UltraMAGA no less maniacal than the Far Left (which is saying something). Trump fan??? I take it you're a Far Lefty and therefore, definitionally, an idiot. As an idiot you are undoubtedly unaware that some people (those of us possessing IQs over 2) are capable of nuanced thinking. Well, we are. Because we are and you aren't, you should probably leave the cognitive heavy lifting to us.

🚨NYT: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is pushing Trump to continue the war against Iran, claiming that the joint military operation of the US and Israel provides a “historic opportunity” to reshape the Middle East. In several conversations last week, bin Salman conveyed the message that there is a need to press for the elimination of the extremist regime in Iran, the hardline government in Iran. Bin Salman claimed that Iran poses a long-term threat to the Gulf, and there is no way to remove it except by removing the regime

𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 "𝗔 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗡𝗜𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗬" — 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘'𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 Melanie Phillips is a British journalist and author who spent nearly 20 years at the heart of the liberal establishment — The Guardian — before being driven out for the crime of following evidence wherever it led. Her video has now been seen 54 million times. Elon shared it and called it a good explanation of nihilist philosophy. Let me explain what that means, because it's the key to understanding everything happening in the West right now. 𝗡𝗶𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. It's not atheism. It's not skepticism. It's the active demolition of the very idea that truth exists — and Phillips explains precisely how it took over the West. She watched it happen in real time. Issue by issue — multiculturalism, lifestyle relativism, radical environmentalism, moral relativism — each one an ideology wrapped in utopian promises. And the defining feature of every ideology, she notes, is that 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵. Evidence cannot challenge it. Anyone who presents contrary facts isn't just wrong — 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭. And so they are silenced, bullied, ostracized, and destroyed professionally. Sound familiar? Phillips then makes the connection that most people miss. She's speaking from Jerusalem — waiting to hear if there will be air raids tonight — and she says this: you cannot understand why the Islamist world targets Israel and the Jewish people unless you understand that in their mind, 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁. To the Islamist, defeating the West requires first destroying Israel. And you cannot understand the West's own deranged hostility toward Israel unless you understand what the West has spent decades doing to itself — dismantling its own values, its own family structures, its own national identity, its own concept of truth.

A civilization that believes in nothing will defend nothing. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿.
