Violence Was the Weapon: Fear Was the Payload

by

October 7, 2023 was Israel’s 9/11—a surprise attack on Shabbat and Simchat Torah, almost exactly fifty years after the Yom Kippur War. Terrorists understand that violence is the weapon, but fear is the payload, and calendars, holidays and symbolism can amplify the blast. Three years later, the consequences have spread far beyond Gaza: Israel abandoned containment, Iran’s proxy strategy collided with Israeli deterrence, and America discovered once again that being the global hegemon means everybody sends you the bill. The old Middle East wasn’t stable. It was merely temporarily not exploding.

Arsonists Don’t Put Fires Out

by

Democrats have started fires all over America, and they keep feeding them.

Their focus on affordability as a key issue in the midterm elections is absurd. Their push to reshape America into a candidate for Marxist globalist governance and their opening of the borders to tens of millions of unvetted migrants have played a major role in the inflation we are currently facing.

Can We Finally Call It Biowar 1.0?

by

COVID-19 may never be proven to have been an act of biological warfare, but strategically it gave the world something almost as valuable: a full-scale demonstration. A microscopic threat closed borders, disrupted militaries and supply chains, crippled economies, expanded emergency powers, and turned fear and information into weapons—all while leaving cities, factories, farmland, and infrastructure standing. That is the thesis: COVID was effectively the world’s Biowar 1.0 field exercise, regardless of intent. Now, as outbreaks, laboratory incidents, and biological threats generate headlines from Congo to Russia, the unsettling question isn’t whether COVID was deliberately weaponized. It is whether governments watched the experiment, studied the vulnerabilities, and are now saber-rattling—perhaps even conducting psyops—with what Biowar 2.0 might look like.

The Cornell case will never feel like justice, to anyone, but there are some things that the laws simply cannot address.

It’s perhaps telling that Amanda Marcotte’s old Twitter biography photo was taken in a bar, and that it advertises Bud Light, though it does predate the Dylan Mulvaney s(tuff).
We suggested, on September 30th, that perhaps the very lovely Amanda Marcotte had learned something from her full-throated accusations against the Duke lacrosse team in 2006, that jumping the gun wasn’t necessarily the wisest thing to do. It took her until October 2nd to weigh in on the case:

In 2017, the #MeToo movement took the nation by storm. A veritable flood of women, and some men, spoke out about their own experiences with sexual abuse, leading to a slew of firings, lawsuits, arrests and social opprobrium of the accused, especially since so many accusers produced compelling evidence. Despite this, it was barely weeks before the backlash began, with countless articles about how #MeToo had gone “too far,” despite scant evidence that innocent men were getting entangled. That response swelled until it overcame #MeToo, which has largely faded into the background.

Vote the Platform or Shut Up

by

My Pap was a lot of things. Stubborn. Proud. Army veteran. The kind of man who said what he meant and meant every word of it. I was lucky enough to be there when he took his last breath, and I would give anything to hear his voice one more time.

He and my dad got into it one day over politics. It got heated the way it always does in our family. Then Pap went quiet for a second, looked my dad dead in the eye, and asked, calm as a Sunday morning, who he voted for.

My dad admitted he hadn’t voted.

Pap didn’t yell. Didn’t lecture. He said, “You chose not to have a voice for your country. You have no say in this conversation.” And that was the end of it. My dad never forgot that. Neither did I.
