Before Donald Trump became a thing, Kevin Williamson wrote for National Review and I really liked his writing.
Here's his own pull-quote in his Dispatch article about Haitians and cats:
“You can send little J.D. to Yale to make him polished, you can send him to Silicon Valley to make him rich, and you can send him to the Senate to make him powerful, but you cannot stop him from being what it is he apparently wants to be: Cleetus the Gap-Toothed Twitter Troll.”
The Kevin Williamson I used to enjoy would never have written anything so juvenile. He's a parody of his old self, and it's a disgrace.
"a pretty long story about a thing that didn’t happen" ... Christopher Rufo has published some solid reporting that it did actually happen, if not quite in Springfield, and not quite by Haitians.
But, no matter, the whole cat thing is a distraction from the real issue, which is about the inability to integrate people with significant cultural differences at such massive scale.
Trump should never have mentioned cats, but the Dems must have been licking their lips at the prospect, because it was almost inevitable that he would once the news came out.
The fact of “Withholding exculpatory evidence” reliably damns any prosecutorial agency claiming to seek justice. It is a phrase all too often heard in federal and many state cases.
What a courage !! I wish there would be more people like him in the world worrying about the world they build for their children instead of worrying just for themselves . Indeed , in our present world there is a lot we have to fight for. And protecting young immature and vulnerable kids from the ideological manipulations from the woke totalitarianism (because it is a totalitarian ideology in the name of goodness!) is a good start. It is now very well documented scientifically that hormonal and surgical transgendering is deeply harmfull for their future health. So why is it that these vulnerable kids should not be protected by law , and why are good people that are concerned about them dragged to justice and risk emprisonnement ? Our world is really upside down in terms of its values. And this will benefit our enemies more than any military operation because it destroys the foundational values on which our democracies have been built .
The pager operation wasn’t an “attack,” it was a thoroughly justified (and overdue) response to the thousands of missiles Hezbollah has fired nonstop at Israel since October 7, killing, injuring and displacing thousands of civilians and burning hundreds of thousands of acres of forests and agricultural land.
Israel did the right thing, and it was a resounding success.
Ever notice how enraged progressives get when Islamic terrorists get exactly what they deserve?
Glad we need not worry about Russian and Chinese bots infiltrating our general knowledge sources. Just have to click over to the Thought Police at Wikipedia.
Arturo Béjar is simply mistaken: It is parents who in all circumstances have the responsibility for the safety of their children. Moreover, while there are certainly online content (for example, grooming by sexual predators) which uncontroversially pose a risk to the safety of children, in as much as in certain quarters, including large swathes of the tech sector, unpopular ideas are considered "unsafe", letting the views of Meta managers on what is safe for children to see may well supercede and even conflict with the views of the their parents. Meta managers might decide that encouragement to question one's gender identity is safe, while parents disagree. Parents might regard the Catechism of the Catholic Church as safe, while Meta managers might disagree. In a pluralistic society giving parents the tools to protect their children from what they, not some "experts", regard as harmful is the correct approach, at least if one wants to maintain a pluralistic society.
I for one, am getting really tired of how the media can’t let go of this eating pets story. Let’s keep in mind that this all came about because the moderators of the ABC debate asked a leading question about TV e mayor of Springfield, leading to this whole debacle. Yes, Trump should have answered the question differently, but my god, the way the media is ramming this down our throats while purposely obfuscating the real issue with immigration is disgusting.
It might just all be fun and games now but within a short while you’ll be racist if you don’t understand It’s their culture and you’ll be a white supremacist if you don’t eat dogs and cats.
“ The total casualties of the Russia-Ukraine war may have surpassed one million, according to The Wall Street Journal. On the Russian side, Western intelligence estimates Russian casualties could be as high as 200,000 dead and 400,000 wounded. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s estimated casualties are roughly 80,000 dead and 400,000 wounded.”
Bwahahaha! Yeah, that’s totally not a neoconservative fantasy tally.
Who exactly have I “trashed”? The Wall Street Journal is not “people”. Thanks for the accusation pal. And “Western Intelligence” isn’t exactly known for their unbiased honesty. Their track record is plainly atrocious.
Where’s their evidence? Do you expect me to trust the Ukrainian ( or even Russian and USA for that matter ) government’s numbers? Triggered much?
Don't make claims and then say about those who disagree, "Where's their evidence?" Where's your evidence? Are you unclear what evidence means? Otherwise you are just making it up. You say the WSJ (and US Gov.) is wrong. As I said, "could be." But you have nothing beyond cynicism to back up your statement. At least make a reasoned argument from historical data, even if not substantiated by current data.
Obviously, I haven't been around for most of American history and watching what has happened to facts and history in a few short years has made me distrusting of everything, but if there was a more political DOJ than the Garland DOJ, I'm happy to know I got to see what a fair and impartial DOJ looked like before he came in and completely annihilated any form of integrity for that office.
Was he? See, I just don't know much. I voted for Obama 2008, but I was young and just knew I was supposed to vote. I didn't follow politics beyond surface level.
This new dude reading the articles doesn't make me as on edge. I think the first lady made me a little more angry and emotional. The new voice is calm and matter-of-fact. I like it.
"Shock and Awe" is all I can say about the exploding pagers. Here they give up their cell phones thinking "they'll never track us now" and it ends up getting even the clandestine Hezbollah supporters. I hope Israel's enemies hear footsteps which is victory in itself.
I would love to read the article "A Prisoner of China, an American Scandal" but it was written by Peter Savodnik, who has a severe case of TDS which makes almost all of his writings unpalatable.
Thank you DR HAIM, we are on your side!!

Thank u for the links. I always read the front page and find several interesting articles. I stand with Israel !

Could be, but do you have any evidence? Or do you just trash people you don't like?

The Obama’s wingman affirmative action Eric holder was pretty unfair.
Was he? See, I just don't know much. I voted for Obama 2008, but I was young and just knew I was supposed to vote. I didn't follow politics beyond surface level.
Yes he called himself the Obamas wingman.
ERIC HOLDER IS A POMPOUS FOOL, he has an inflated sense of self and contributed zero to helping the American people.
Holder was/is an unabashed political hack. Like Garland, not a good look for the AG.

TRUE, I SKIP HIS ARTICLES!!
