“Yes, the Left will make repeating the “genocide” lie a litmus test, even as Gazans use their children as human shields to move weapons. Because in the Left-wing view, everyone in the world thinks like them – and therefore, even the evil things the West’s enemies do is a result of Western imperialism and exploitation.”

“Okay, you illiterate asshats. Netanyahu is not arguing, contra RetardoX, that you will be punished for not studying Torah in Israel or elsewhere. He's specifically addressing the #1 public issue in Israel: the draft exemption for Haredim (the ultra-Orthodox). The yeshiva exemption is an vestigial structure, an evolutionary hangover from a deal cut at the foundation of the state between the Haredim and the government. Today, many Haredi leaders argue that no Haredi should EVER serve in the army, whether they're learning Torah or not. Most people who aren't Haredi think that exemption should disappear entirely (for the record, I think that position is correct). Netanyahu is proposing a compromise position. Under current law, in Israel, you can apply for exemption from the military draft as a yeshiva student. Many of those who do so are not in fact learning Torah. They are welfare queens avoiding service. He's proposing that if you are not even studying Torah, there's certainly no excuse for the yeshiva exemption for you. This has literally nothing to do with American politics. It is certainly NOT a mandate that you MUST learn Torah or you'll be punished with the draft or jail. You have to be a complete moron to believe any of that. But then again, RetardoX is filled with complete morons.”

“Your contention that the two alternatives are (1) "negotiating with bad people" or (2) "demanding war until every possible enemy is dead" is silly and reductive. Of course. Not every bad actor is bad in the same way; not all negotiations are equal; few victories require total annihilation rather than thorough defeat. The question is how much force is required to achieve America's interest. The answer depends on several factors, including the reliability of Iran's commitments; the credibility of our threat of force; and the amount of pain they can withstand and our willingness to bring that amount of pain to bear. But here's what won't do it: taking the Obama position that the only alternative to "demanding war until every possible enemy is dead" is cutting a truly crappy deal with an overtly dishonest enemy dedicated to destroying America and her allies. But I think you know that. Which is why you went with the reductive silliness.”

The rate of increase in those prices has slowed dramatically since 2023. 3. Prices aren't going back to 2019 levels absent an economic depression. 4. The policies that reduce prices are generally deregulatory in nature, and can help in real ways at the margins, but nobody is talking about those solutions. 5. Instead of talking solutions, most people in politics are busily blackpilling. 6. Blackpilling about how young people in America in 2026 can't afford anything and are destined to live lives of poverty and solitude unless we YELL ABOUT AFFORDABILITY REALLY, REALLY LOUDLY is (a) untrue; (b) pointless, since no solutions are generally provided; (c) counterproductive, since blackpilling is often used to argue for the expansion of government, a la Mamdani (because DO SOMETHING!!!!1!!!); and/or (d) a populist appeal designed to relieve individuals of the responsibility to make good personal decisions by claiming that there's literally nothing they can do to mitigate costs.”

Post-partum psychosis is real but also distinct. People who conflate the two are being foolish. People who dismiss either are being ridiculous. Aside from the obvious tragedy of the triple murder, the only real takeaway for the American people ought to be this: evil is real, but dismissing mental illness as causative of human behavior is doltish. Get the care you need…and at the same time, psychiatric care is not nearly as well-developed as other fields of medicine. Not every tragedy has easy or comforting answers.”

“We're watching an enormous misread of the results from Wisconsin. The dumb take is that the DSA has reached its ceiling, and the establishment is fighting back. That's totally wrong. The normie Dems are simply negotiating the terms of their surrender. Those terms are obvious: the Democratic Party will ingest and mirror the key precepts of the DSA, and they won't go whole hog against DSA candidates who don't totally say the quiet part out loud. This is why Slotkin didn't endorse Stevens against El-Sayed in Michigan. It's why Schumer and Jeffries didn't endorse Cuomo against Mamdani in NYC. In return, the DSA's most important figures will refrain from endorsing the very worst candidates. This is why Bernie and AOC didn't endorse Hong. If they had, she would have won. The goal of the pact is obvious: candidates who are DSA in all but name, who receive unified Democratic support after the primaries, and who still have a shot at winning a general election. So don't be fooled: the DSA is driving the car, choosing the direction. The normie Dems are just negotiating over the speed.”

The West has imported millions of immigrants from Muslim countries, a huge swath of whom do not support Western values; the West has continued to excuse and appease Islamic radicalism across the globe, with rare exceptions. And many Americans – nearly the entire Left, along with the horseshoe Right – now agree with the anti-American worldview promoted by Osama Bin Laden that the United States and the West are chiefly responsible for suffering around the world, and that Islamic terrorism is simply blowback for Western sin. Today, we’ll talk about who committed 9/11. What they thought. What they still think. And why the West still lacks the intellectual and moral tools to combat it. And we’ll talk about what must come next.”

Man is not simply an instrument among others. Naturally he has become tired of purely materialistic conditions and desires some spiritual comfort. But the materialistic life of the West could only offer him as reassurance a new materialism of sin, passion, drink, women, noisy gatherings, and showy attractions which he has come to enjoy.” Sure, it sounds a lot like Bernie or Tucker.
