The actual ‘decider’ in Biden’s WH, let Jew-hate – Latest News
Conservative: The Real ‘Decider’ in Biden’s WH
“Just who was the ‘decider’ in the Biden White House as the president of the United States slipped into senility remains an unanswered question,” concedes The Washington Times’ David Keene. But “that may be about to change.” Two new books that element issues about President Biden’s “ability to do his job” are hitting bookstores. In 2024, after Biden denied “knowing about signing an executive order” on liquefied natural fuel exports, “House Speaker Mike Johnson wondered, ‘Who is running the country? ’ ” Some speculate it was Jake Sullivan or Antony Blinken “in tandem with the Biden family and/or Chief of Staff Jeff Zients.” But “secrets are hard to keep in Washington.” And when the public learns the reality, “there will have to be an accounting lest it happen again.”
Libertarian: Let Jew-hate Speak & Damn Itself
Anti-Israel group Columbia University Apartheid Divest repeatedly posted proof of its “radical and lawless conduct” on Instagram, grumbles Tal Fortgang at City Journal. Facing stress from pro-Israel teams, “Instagram deleted the page.” Yet complicated “speech for actual harm” really “hampers Americans’ ability to hear the extremists in their own words.” So “Instagram inadvertently shielded CUAD from the most effective form of accountability: public scrutiny.” CUAD’s “digital trail” permits its critics to construct “the case against the group in the court of public opinion.” The group’s “Instagram was a stockpile of smoking guns”; Instagram’s “misguided attempt at content moderation” makes it more troublesome “to hold CUAD accountable in the court of public opinion.”
From the best: It’s 1984 in England
Lucy Connolly is a “powerful symbol of Britain’s severe and spiraling free speech crisis,” warns Matt Goodwin on his Substack. “After the senseless murder of three little girls by the son of Rwandan migrants in Southport last summer,” Connolly, who’d simply misplaced a 19-month-old daughter, tweeted “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f - - - ing hotels full of the b - - - - - ds for all I care.” “Despite having never physically . . . hurt a single person,” she “was jailed for nearly three years” — as have over 100 Brits over social-media posts over Southport. Ominously, the Labour authorities “has moved to expand the use of so-called ‘non-crime hate incidents.’ ” The UK is morphing into a “dogmatic” and “controlling regime.”
Culture critic: Obama’s Wise Words for the Left
The Wall Street Journal’s Jason L. Riley urges us to “forgive” Barack Obama’s “historical revisionism” at Hamilton College, the place he slammed the White House for blocking the Associated Press from Oval Office occasions regardless that the Obama White House nixed interviews for Fox News reporters. After all, the ex-prez “was on firmer ground” when he inspired progressives “to engage in some self-reflection.” Obama flagged how social-justice warriors and free-speech defenders haven’t all the time lived up to their own ideas, and urged universities to reexamine whether or not they’re “doing things right.” Alas, notes Riley, “hard-leftists” have turn out to be “the face” of the Democratic Party, “railing against billionaires” whereas ignoring the left’s “cultural overreach,” like “biological boys playing on the girls’ team.” This “monumental misjudgment” is “costing Democrats working-class support.”
Econ desk: The American Dream Awakens?
“For decades, the United States provided a market that was unlimited for most exporters, enabling countries large and small to transfer their populations from marginally productive farms in overcrowded villages to low-tech industries,” notes Edward N. Luttwak at UnHerd. The draw back? “In the US, producers of low-tech and craft products started going out of business.” “Nobody in the US elite noticed that every other industrial country impeded US industrial imports, either via arbitrary regulatory hurdles or even outright conspiracies.” Trump’s tariff principle is “simple”: “Impede free trade so that surviving industrial and craft enterprises can return to prosperity, while other firms both old and new are re-launched.” “All of the above is more than enough to justify” any “temporary global turmoil” in the markets.
