On the College Protests:
I’ve already posted much of what I want to say. Many in the media have actively attempted to gaslight audiences by lying about the nature of the protests and what those behind them openly support. Read this thread if you have any doubts about the truth.
These protesters have been very transparent about their hatred for most of the world’s Jews and their support for terrorism. It’s quite telling that certain members of Congress have embraced them despite that honesty. It’s also revealing that there has not been much focus on the attempts by protestors to attack and suppress any media they don’t like while claiming a right to protest on private property.
But most importantly, the demands that these increasingly aggressive mobs exist and operate outside the rules violate our social contract with the government and these universities. The response presented two contrasting images on Tuesday night: The NYPD enforcing the law at Columbia vs Authorities refusing to do so at UCLA.

Viral Story Exposed As AI-Created Smear
Back in January, a story went viral back claiming there was a recording of a high school principal in Baltimore saying racist and bigoted things about his students and the community. There was significant commentary surrounding the story and the principal received numerous threats as a result. Now police have arrested a disgruntled school employee with charges related to him creating the recording with AI software as retribution for the non-renewal of his contract with the school.
This story is significant because it exposes the new frontier we’ve entered and the dangers it creates. Someone’s life can be destroyed with a digitally created recording and it will take significant effort and luck to absolve them. I’m not sure the current laws, technology, or media are prepared to deal with such a challenge.
Islamist Persecution of Christians Being Ignored
If you only get your news from mainstream outlets, it’s unlikely you’d know an Islamist mob tried to burn down the homes of Coptic Christians in Egypt last week. Or that the same mob then tried to fill in the well that the Christians in that community used to try to drive them out. The reason for this vicious attack? The Christians allegedly got a permit to build a church.
You also probably wouldn’t know that…
