#JOURNALISM:
The WSJ says the relatively small number of Iranian hits on US facilities in the Gulf are 'devastating'.
"Iran shot more than 8,000 missiles and drones and only two hits resulted in U.S. fatalities,” said Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, which oversees…

THE MOST IMPORTANT FREE SPEECH FIGHT SINCE THE BIRTH OF THE INTERNET? That’s Nico Perrino’s case for why the coming battles over AI and social media will determine whether the First Amendment survives the digital age.
ANALYSIS: TRUE:
"Abolish ICE," "Defund the Police," and "Free Palestine" aren't a working class agenda. They're the cries of an over credentialed gentrifying elite consumed with resentment and the belief that the taxpayer should fund their vanity degrees and podcasts. pic.twitter.com/oVDqB1PMhk

STEPHEN KRUISER: Sane People Aren’t Triggered by Elon Musk’s Wealth.
Their hatred isn’t distributed evenly among the super-rich, of course. No one in the Democratic Party is upset with George Soros, for example. We don’t hear many complaints about Bill Gates from them either. It’s more than Musk’s money that sends them spiraling though. They’re harboring a lot of resentment because Musk broke the stranglehold they had on the social media false narrative machine when he purchased Twitter. His work with DOGE at the beginning of President Trump’s current term was a direct attack on their god: the federal government.
And thus:

That’s how badly Louisiana voters wanted him gone. The best Cassidy could manage was a third-place finish, winding up four points behind the state’s current treasurer, John Fleming, claiming the Number Two spot. Politico called the vanquishing another victory on Trump’s ‘revenge tour.'”

BUTTIGIEG SEPARATED FROM CHILDREN AFTER BEING TARGETED BY FALSE CPS REPORT: “Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said he was briefly separated from his 4-year-old twins after an anonymous caller filed a false report with Child Protective Services concerning his family. Buttigieg wrote about the swatting-like incident in a lengthy Substack post on Friday, detailing his encounter with Michigan State Police.”

Amy Coney Barrett was swatted last month. Neither Pete Buttigieg nor Mark commented on it. The New York Times did not do a story on it.
I like Mark, but the truth is the only thing new about this story is that it happened to a Democrat. It’s ho-hum and commonplace for… https://t.co/zCD1t3pni9

RELIGION OF PEACE UPDATE:
I have been criticized, even from people on my side, for saying this is their goal. The problem is this is not my opinion. They admit it. How long are our leaders going to continue to ignore this imminent threat? https://t.co/PjxJRXnFdI
