@jpodhoretz How about this: he’s a great actor, but I don’t like his politics?

Remember Javier Bardem is the cinema's most terrifying villain. That was Anton Chigurh saying 'Free Palestine.'

@RezaC1 Has there ever been a Muslim victim killed in the US by a Jewish perpetrator? I don’t think so

WHICH IS HIGHER? Muslim victims killed in U.S. hate crimes by a Jewish perpetrator or Jewish victims killed in U.S. hate crimes by a Muslim perpetrator? Use any time frame you want - day, week, month, year, decade, or century.

@michelletandler I haven’t seen people on the left, including myself, defending the Ayatollah. I do see many people on both sides questioning the way this was done, and worrying about what happens next.

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the left would side with the Iranian Ayatollah.

@CaitlinPacific Yes. I left NYC in 1989, and when I returned for a visit many years later, it was very different. Since then, it hasn’t really changed that much.

@dnzmo The 90’s were a dream scape

A breakdown in civility is shocking to observe. It means a city has failed to provide the most basic services to maintain a social order. People forced to relieve themselves this face deepest humiliation. Witnesses experience revulsion in the presence of ancient taboo.

@elonmusk That’s fake

Terrible

@BTSDaily_OT7 @FoxNews @grok Is he trans

@FoxNews @grok When did this incident occur? How far has this case progressed?

BREAKING: Rhode Island authorities say Robert Dorgan is the suspect who shot and killed his ex-wife and adult son at an ice hockey rink. His ex-wife's parents and a family friend remain in "critical care" at the hospital, officials say. The family was at the ice rink for a child's "senior night" hockey game.

@elonmusk Why not hire Americans to work in the US?

If you’re in Korea and want to work on chip design, fabrication or AI software, join Tesla!

@bungarsargon @VictoriaCoates @JanatanSayeh National Endowment for Democracy was very good at that before Trump.

Unfathomably brave Iranians are taking to the streets to protest their dictator and Iran's 42% inflation rate. Americans are done with forever wars and regime change, so what's the right way to support the protests? By exporting free speech, say @VictoriaCoates & @JanatanSayeh:

@JenniferSey @X I first read about it in the NY Times.

People who aren’t on @X have no idea what is happening in Minnesota. If they have heard anything at all, the left thinks the whole thing is unfairly “targeting” Somalis and Ilhan Omar. Because racism. If you search “Minnesota” on Bluesky you get pictures of snow and Lake Superior.

@HarmeetKDhillon Like you don’t understand why so many Republicans hate Indians?

One day I’m gonna tell you folks what I REALLY think.

@haymes_joshua Grotesque that the government is promoting it.

If you think this image is “grotesque” you should leave this country.

@Rafa_Mangual I agree with calibration. When I was in law school many decades ago, I was taught that the goal of punishment should be, incarceration, retribution, and rehabilitation. Hopefully, there are different approaches for a three time shoplifter and someone who has assaulted someone

You say that as if it’s more than a very remote possibility. But the literature suggests pretty strongly that rehabilitation just isn’t in the cards. Policy should be calibrated accordingly, which means, in my view at least, semi-permanently incapacitating certain repeat offenders.

No. Prison primarily serves the ends of incapacitation and general deterrence. The rehabilitation literature makes pretty darn clear that we don’t really know how to rehabilitate the types of offenders who go to prison, let alone how to do so at scale. One of the best reviews of this literature can be found here: manhattan.institute/article/why-re…

@Rafa_Mangual I lived in NYC in the 80’s and have traveled there many times since then. The subway was a nightmare then, and is so much better and safer now. However, no one should ever be scared to ride. Besides more law enforcement officers, what’s the solution?

The problem for the MTA is this: While many New Yorkers can minimize their risk of victimization by avoiding certain parts of the city, they are forced to roll the dice whenever they step foot in the transit system. Sure, the absolute risk is statistically remote, but people see more than enough examples of people on the edge of violent outbursts for some to reasonably conclude that the subways just aren’t safe. *I’ve* never been slashed on the subway; but in just the last five years, I’ve seen: •More than one person urinate in (or in between) moving subway cars; •A tourist get hit in the face by a deranged man in a dress and a rainbow clown’s wig; •A shirtless man (in February) who was clearly high bloody his knuckles to the point of leaking all over the train car by punching the stanchion; •Two different homeless people light crack pipes inside the train car; •Multiple people injecting heroin on platforms; •More than one drunk person with an open container of alcohol vomit carelessly mid-ride; •A homeless man who went from shadow boxing on the train to screaming in the face of a woman who was terrified; •A group of shithead teenagers smoking weed inside the train car while loudly talking about how they’d wish someone would say something so they could “beat they ass.” This is just a sampling—and from a time in which I wasn’t even riding the train on a daily basis. And here’s the most important part: In *not one* of those cases were police anywhere in sight. When riders are treated to such regular examples of antisocial behavior that could have easily gone even more off the rails (pardon the pun), it makes the likelihood of being slashed, shoved onto the tracks, groped, or worse seem not so remote. Bottom line: New Yorkers deserve better.

@ReOpenChris There are at most 200,000 Somalis in the US

DESANTIS: “Is bringing 10 Million people from Somalia and dumping them into Georgia good because it's legal? Is it helping to promote a strong American culture? We should never bring people into this country who hate America!”

@MattWalshShow What about Ben Shapiro’s father in law?

America First, America Only

@seanmdav Define “Americans”

Poland belongs to the Polish. India belongs to Indians. Israel belongs to Israelis. Iran belongs to Iranians. America belongs to Americans. Guess which statement there makes people absolutely froth at the mouth.

@j_fishback Who are saying should be deported, besides illegals?

Agreed

@BoFrenchTX 100 million is a big number. What does it consist of? 30 million illegals? What else?

Nothing will bring down housing prices except for removing a large part of the demand side for housing. I have been saying we need to remove 100 million people from the country. This will not only lower housing prices dramatically, it will save our culture.
