It is surprising how many Jews blindly believe that the ADL is working to protect Jews, despite explicit evidence of their clear political democratic aims that harm Jews. Even more shocking are those who have gotten so swayed by the idea of stamping out antisemitism (a laughable hope given its long history) by squelching free speech. And if they could do that, the ends would justify the means. Furthermore, they believe they must support the ADL since Neo-nazis support Musk and we can’t be seen supporting Musk or free speech when Neo-nazis support him!

Great piece on the disgraceful new-look ADL and the rest of the censorious NGOs secretly busy in the devil’s workshop.

Continue to fight the good fight, Mike!

That the ADL is a far-left org now is indisputable but they've been bad for a while.

They've been involved in spying on Americans since the 1990s. And in 1994 they lost a big case against a non-Jewish couple that was accused of harassing Jewish neighbors - the case was totally made up, a travesty, a horror story. They weaponized the Holocaust to defame a non-Jewish couple in a neighbor dispute (actually the Jewish couple were the neighbors from hell). This is sickening.

"Danish anti-piracy group The Rights Alliance is moving to 'wipe Books3 from the internet'..."

I checked out the article. The action comes off like a curiously, very 2023 form of book burning.

Thanks as usual for the thought provoking roundup of news and associated commentary

The wires article about "biologism" is equal parts hilarious, horrifying, confusing, and incomprehensible. It's like the author lives in a parallel alternative universe that I have yet to encounter, an alien dropped to earth from a different universe. I am surprised, frankly, that such a person exists, and that there may be more than one of them, and that they might even have an influence over what may be considered "normal".

In short, Leo Kim and his (her?) ilk are freaks who need to stay away from my kids. What a bunch of weirdos

Do we have the video for the Cruise incident?

"... the man announces his intention to sue the Anti-Defamation League? The entire internet is furious with Musk over his decision...."

I assure that the ~entire~ internet is not furious with Musk. The great unwashed might be, and they're certainly vocal. I, for one, applaud it. And, to Brammy, I'm also Jewish. I have zero use for the ADL or for the ACLU. They were once great defenders of rights and justice. They both went sideways years ago. Now they're on the verge of being overtly anti-semitic.

When Jews emigrated to escape death, the smart ones were the ones who showed up here. The rest met their fates. History has shown that intelligence seems to regress to a mean value, so the ones that have been here longest are likely the ones whose sharpness is, well, not quite that of the more recently appeared among us. They're trendier; we're more survival-oriented. They sometimes feel they have to justify their trendiness with something like logic--but it isn't. It's just loud and sounds, to the non-critical, like reasonableness. To the critical, it sounds like word salad. I'm critical.

Giving Solana a B+ for his hair - think he should grow out the sides a bit.

Love the new "Europe" section! It reminds me I made the right choice moving to the US no matter how bad can things be here. 😂😂😂

Keith Woods is an actual nazi who calls for genocide and denies the Holocaust as opposed to the left wing definition of a Nazi is anyone to the right of Mao. If Elon wanted to actually win a lawsuit he would have never engaged with him as the ADL can just quote Keith Woods in front of a Jury and then show Elon being a fawning reply guy and the case will be closed.
