AND HAMAS SUPPORTERS ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT A “HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.” IF YOU’RE A HAMAS SUPPORTER, YOU’RE NO HUMANITARIAN.

HATRED OF ISRAEL MAKES PEOPLE LOSE THEIR RATIONAL FACULTIES: I’ve never thought that Nicholas Kristof is any sort of genius, but this is really embarrassing. Doing some quick math, that would be a line of about 415 miles of 18 wheelers, assuming no space between them. In what world did Kristof think this was possible?

HE WOULD HAVE MADE A GOOD PRESIDENT AND MAYBE HE STILL WILL:

The GOP has some solid governors but none as proactive as DeSantis.

DON SURBER: Mutiny on the MSNBC: Ronna Romney McDaniel learns sabotaging Trump won’t save you. “The public humiliation of Ronna, which may have been orchestrated all along, is another head on a pike for Democrats and RINOs. They have gone from Stage 1 (destroy Trump) and Stage 2 (destroy his supporters) to Stage 3 (destroy those who even appear to support Trump).”

As Stacy McCain once said, at some point you have to join the team that you’re on.

BUT TALK OF “WHITE SUPREMACISTS,” “WHITE RAGE,” AND “CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS” IS STILL OKAY, POSSIBLY EVEN MANDATORY: US Intel Agency Wants To Ban Terms ‘Radical Islamists’ and ‘Jihadist’ Because They’re Hurtful to Muslim Americans: Office of the Director of National Intelligence also instructs employees to avoid ‘blacklisted,’ ‘cakewalk,’ and ‘sanity check.’

Whose side is the “intelligence community” on? Certainly not that of intelligence . . . .

J.D. TUCCILLE: Free Speech Is Under Attack in the U.S., but It’s on the Ropes Elsewhere.

On the plus side were some strengthened protections for press freedom and protest. Of course, the press must operate under all those restrictions on “hate speech,” and protests are subject to curbs when governments find their subjects too sensitive or just inconvenient.

The Free Speech Recession Hits Home records attacks on free speech in the U.S., as elsewhere. But this country, importantly, has a strong free speech culture and real constitutional protections. America is third on Justitia’s index of public support for free speech (after Norway and Denmark), and restrictive laws and government schemes to suppress speech are often voided on First Amendment grounds.

That’s no guarantee that every attempt to muzzle the public will fail or that the courts will diligently apply the First Amendment. But it’s enough of an advantage to dishearten the world’s would-be censors.

“The genie is already out of the bottle and there is little likelihood of getting it back in,” moans The Globe and Mail’s Lawrence Martin about U.S. speech protections. “The greater likelihood is that extremes of free speech will continue to be tolerated.”

And they’re part of a censorship-laundering scheme:

IT’S SO LONG SINCE THE US FOUGHT WAR FOR A VICTORY IN WE’VE FORGOTTEN HOW IT’S DONE (AND CAN’T RECOGNIZE A WINNING PLAN WHEN ISRAEL HAS ONE):  Israel Must Invade Rafah.

Again, Israel is fighting for all of humanity.

MISINFORMATION IS A TERM OF ART DEPLOYED BY TOTALITARIAN REGIMES:  The misinformation of misinformation.

There is no such thing as “misinformation.” There’s lies and there’s truth. They never say “these are lies” they say “these are misinformation.” What does it mean? Information the regime doesn’t want you to hear. That’s it. Pure and simple.

I STILL THINK WE’LL PULL OUT OF THIS:  The United States of America is doomed.

The rest of the world, otoh…. They’re trying to pull back to sanity, I’ll give them that, and get rid of the horrible elites. But whether they manage it is … doubtful.
