The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

But Is It ‘Actual Truth’?

Over the weekend, I saw a lot of headlines about Elon Musk endorsing or promoting an “antisemitic conspiracy theory,” e.g.: Advertisers Flee X as Outcry Over Musk’s Endorsement of Antisemitic Post Grows — New York Times Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it. — Washington Post Ron DeSantis refuses to condemn Elon […]

Pro-Hamas ‘Liberals’ and Other Thoughts on the Binary Nature of Choices

“I remember,” says Professor Glenn Reynolds, “when all the best people told us it was okay to punch Nazis.” Some of the same people were chagrined this week when a pro-Hamas mob attempted to storm the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Excuse me, but if you lie down with dogs, you can’t complain about […]

Not Rule 5: ‘Intersectional’ Craziness

Say hello to Amanda Gelender, who in various articles has discussed her psychiatric problems — depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). She’s a pancake stack of craziness, covered with insanity syrup. She’s got so many mental illnesses, it’s like the index of the DSM-5. But don’t worry, she’s found an effective treatment […]

Seems Kind of … Insurrection-y

Some insurrections are more equal than others: A group of anti-Israel protesters who participated in a large demonstration Saturday in Washington, DC, attempted to storm the White House and chanted slogans such as “Allahu Akbar” while calling for the destruction of Israel in favor of a Palestinian state. . . . There were reports of […]

‘The Freedom Struggle’

Did you know that Jews are 44% of undergraduate students at Tulane University? Why does this notorious party school in New Orleans — Andrew Breitbart’s alma mater — have such a disproportionate number of Jewish students? My guess is that, because of anti-Jewish discrimination at Ivy League schools in the name of “diversity,” there are […]

Doom-Scrolling a New Holocaust: TikTok’s Pro-Hamas Propaganda

Have you ever wondered why the Left hates LibsOfTikTok so much? Why did Taylor Lorenz think it was necessary to dox Chaya Raichik? All she does — the whole function of LibsOfTikTok — is reposting left-wing TikTok content to Twitter. How did that make Chaya Raichik a target of such vindictive wrath? Hold that thought […]

The Ivy League Is Decadent and Depraved

“Amid backlash” is an interesting phrase, as is the euphemistic reference to an “Israel statement.” One might make any number of statements about Israel without finding oneself “amid backlash.” The language in the Harvard Crimson headline, of course, is a sort of journalistic DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) tactic, meant to convince the […]

Self-Inflicted ‘Oppression’

When I first joined the staff of The Washington Times in 1998, our chief foreign correspondent was Marty Seiff. A native of Belfast, Marty had traveled the world, filing bylines from nearly 50 different countries, and had been nominated three times for the Pulitzer Prize. Whenever the subject of the Middle East came up — […]
