From the article -- Why are Bothsiders wasting time blaming the right after a vicious murder committed by a leftist? Shouldn’t they be vociferously defending the innocent? The answer is that they’re cowards. They are too scared to call out Democrats for creating, supporting, and ignoring the evil that has taken root in their party.
Instead of courageously calling out their friends, colleagues, coworkers, and media allies, these pathetic Republican Bothsiders will spout long lists of examples of “right-wing political violence.” This allows them to avoid doing what has to be done: laying bare the left’s deep hatred of conservatives that has been allowed to fester for decade after decade.
By insisting that “both sides” are guilty of violence, they are giving the vicious left a way out. It’s a lifeline — a magical force field that immediately exonerates them. Democrats can then neatly avoid having to address the malevolent violence and hatred in so many of their voters. When it’s “both sides,” you get to escape accountability. When it’s “both sides,” the guilty get to escape a hard look in the mirror.

2) “The Depth Of America’s Political And Moral Divide Is On Full Display” (Tom Gilbreath, Harbinger's Daily)
From the article -- The shooting of Charlie Kirk was especially difficult because, while only one person pulled the trigger, millions rejoiced. That thought staggers the mind. Large numbers of Americans were positively overjoyed by the gruesome murder.
In Matthew 12:34, Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” If we go by the words we find on social media, we must conclude that hearts have grown dark and evil across the land. While leaders on the left rightly condemned the violence, the hidden and anonymous among us felt no such constraints. They could say what they felt — bare their dark hearts to the world.
Because it allows a high degree of anonymity, the internet has always been a place for people to vent ugly, uncaring, mean, and wicked feelings. When people hide behind usernames, they’re more willing to reveal their inner selves. And it’s not pretty.
I don’t mean to imply that every liberal was cruel and inappropriate. Certainly not. Many expressed condolences despite their political differences with Charlie Kirk. Me reading through various comments on Facebook and X hardly qualifies as a scientific study, but there seemed to be far more trolls than peacemakers — more vitriol than civility.

3) “Open season against the Jews: The West’s attack on Israel can only be explained by its assault on its own core values and identity.” (Melanie Phillips, JNS)
From the article -- All bets are off. Clearly, there’s no limit to the world’s attempt to defame, delegitimize and destroy Israel, signaling through this incitement an implicit but unmistakable indication that it’s now open season on Jews wherever they are.
The chants of “Globalize the intifada” and the Arabic cry threatening to slaughter the Jews just as Mohammed did in Khyber in the seventh century C.E. no longer merely represent troubling activist behavior on the West’s pro-Gaza demonstrations. Unbelievably, the so-called civilized world is sending out implicit signals that attacking Jews, both in Israel and in the Diaspora, is morally justified.
This weekend, Britain’s Starmer government is said to be planning to recognize a state of Palestine. This is in advance of a move led by France, and also including Australia and Canada, to recognize Palestine unconditionally, scheduled to take place at a meeting next week of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City...
By its own lights, Palestine recognition is utterly ridiculous. A state can’t be wished into being by others who merely want it to exist. “Palestine,” moreover, has no boundaries or any coherent government. Recognition of this fantasy state is a cynical move whose purpose is to isolate Israel in world opinion and to create a Potemkin international diplomatic structure to put Israel on a course of destruction.

4) “Queer Terror: The violence towards conservatives may be part of a broader terror network.” (Martin Arostegui, American Spectator)
From the article -- The FBI is investigating leads indicating that the assassin of conservative leader Charlie Kirk at a Utah college campus last week forms part of a far-left terrorist network that could have connections with Cuba and China.
His violent radicalization in Marxist transgender ideology fits a pattern of recent attacks across the country linked to an outcrop of groups such as Armed Queers (AQ), which recruit online, engage in paramilitary training at gun ranges of a new organization with chapters in all 50 states called Socialist Rifle Association, and seem closely tied with ANTIFA.
Current investigations are focusing on the AQ Salt Lake City chapter, which held a 2024 protest event in the city’s suburb where Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, was shacked up with a lover transitioning from male to female. The AQ-SLC logo was inscribed on shell casings found at Robinson’s sniper position. The group has scrubbed all its social media postings since his arrest.
Analyst Tony Seruga, through sources in the FBI, says that federal investigators, based on GPS data, believe that there could have been at least a dozen other individuals involved in Kirk’s assassination, which appears to be the latest and most serious in a series of hits by AQ and other far-left terror cells using high-powered weapons and military type tactics.
5) “Living in One Big Nuthouse” (James Banakis, John Kass News)
From the article -- The common theme of the Democratic Party is the inclusion of all minorities no matter how small or insignificant. Beginning under Obama, they carried a huge umbrella of identity politics, that included almost everyone except white men. The common thread was that all minorities were being exploited, and that the Democratic party would be their protectors. The problem of course was that the Democrats had no policy to lift the minorities out of their perceived misery.
Why?
Because they need a permanent underclass. They need what Lenin referred to as “useful idiots,” referring to followers of the Russian Revolution who in fact had no idea what they were supporting, and were willing to be dupes of tyrants. If you believe Zohran Momdani has some good ideas, or that the Clinton Foundation is an instrument to eliminate poverty in the world, you just might be a “useful idiot.”
The connecting thread is the victomhood of all minority classes. Once the oppressed minorities and those who feel guilty that all the unfairness in the world is their fault wake up and understand they’re the “useful idiots,” they start leaving the plantation.
