Always works out the same unless it’s stopped.

SHE DESERVES ALL THAT AND MORE: NYPD Official Rips AOC For Demonizing Police Who Responded To Anti-Semitic Campus Protesters.

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW?  Elon Musk posted about the West’s Achilles heel and man oh man did it make a lot of people angry.

NATE SILVER: Don’t confuse attention-seeking activists for “the youth vote:” Student loan relief isn’t a big deal to most voters. And the youth voter turnout surge of 2022 is a myth.

WE’VE FIGURED:  “Australia is NOT a Free Country”: Elon Musk Threatened with Jail for Defying Censorship Demands.

CONFUSING THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO AND THE BIBLE AGAIN:  Pontifical Pronouncements: A Case Study in Climate Change Dogma.

IF YOU DON’T FIND THIS ENRAGING YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION… LIKE ALL OUR INSTRUMENTS AND GUARDIANS OF LAW SEEM TO BE:  How Taxpayers Will Heavily Subsidize Democrat Boots on the Ground This Election.

THEY’RE JUST A LOVABLE BUNCH OF CUT-UPS:  These are the extremist student leaders of the anti-Israel protest camp bringing Columbia to its knees.

WHATTYA MEAN PROFESSORS AREN’T ABOVE THE LAW????  Cops take down Emory professor at anti-Israel protest that turned violent, wild video shows.

WHEN AMERICA CATCHES THE CLAP COLD THE REST OF THE WORLD CATCHES HIV FLU:  The world’s troubles all lead back to America.

BETWEEN TRANSMISSION LINES, SPECIES-ENDANGERING WINDMILLS AND SILICON SUN FARMS WE’RE DECORATING WITH WILLIAM BLAKE’S ‘DARK SATANIC MILLS’:  Eco-terrorists’ blight on the countryside.

PERVERTING THE POLITICAL STANCES OF CONSERVATIVE HEROES IS THE (NEXT-TO-)LAST RESORT OF LIBERALS LOSING AN ARGUMENT:  Invoking Margaret Thatcher as an Israel critic is an insult to her strong sense of justice.

THEY EXPECT US TO BELIEVE ANYTHING (WHEN IT’S SIMPLY NOT WORTH OUR WHILE TO CALL OUT THEIR BS): Smoke, mirrors and CO2 emissions, Part 2.

AND AGAIN, HOW SHOCKED IS MY FACE?  San Francisco’s Recovery From Covid Response Jeopardizes Its S&P Credit Rating.

WHERE IS MY SHOCKED FACE?  Columbia President Nemat Shafik Accused of Plagiarism.

IT ALWAYS IS, BUT CONSIDERING THE SOURCE, IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHINA! CHINA! CHINA! TO REPLACE RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!  Blinken: China Trying to ‘Influence and Arguably Interfere’ With 2024 Election.

OH, SWEETIE. AIN’T NOBODY DONE TOLD YOU THAT IN AMERICA JEWS GOT GUNS?  Columbia U. Encampment Leader Says ‘Be Grateful That I’m Not Just Going Out and Murdering Zionists’.

IT’S A MESS ALL OVER THE WEST:  Why is Education Such a Mess?

And probably at the back of the profound decay in our “ruling class.”

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:  George Soros-Connected Groups Paying for Antisemitic Campus Protests, Calling for Revolution.

OPEN THREAD: Make it special.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: China’s Shenzhou-18 crew arrive at Tiangong space station.

OH, THAT LIBERAL FASCISM: Meet the new Left, who think Hamas are good and that Swastikas are woke.

It’s narcissistic identity politics on steroids, one where specific conditions and geography melt away completely. It’s no longer enough to have solidarity with the people of Palestinians in their time of plight; you must be them. Are you fat, trans, and live in, say, Evanston, Illinois? You are somehow in a shared position with starved and bombed-out citizens of Gaza. “Palestine is a flat circle,” you can almost hear True Detective’s Rust Cohle murmur if he were a contemporary campus radical.

I witnessed All One Thingism in the flesh in Atlanta while reporting on the “Stop Cop City” saga. What began as a very specific protest against the construction of an expensive new public safety facility in a Georgia forest by environmentalists, police, and prison abolitionists got subsumed into “Free Palestine.” After October 7, anarchists marching in the streets of Atlanta increasingly donned keffiyehs, waved Palestinian flags, and held signs that said: “From Atlanta to Palestine” (which I believe is a fairly big 6,400-mile line).

There’s no better embodiment of this trend than James “Fergie” Chambers, the wealthy tattooed Left-wing heir in Atlanta. Last summer, Chambers helped bankroll the Stop Cop City movement with millions from his Cox family fortune and attended protests in person. Then, in December, he announced he was converting to Islam. He’s currently living in Tunisia and directing his big bucks into anti-Zionism causes.

And lest you think it’s just blue-haired college baristas with these views, consider the author with the worst book title of all time who recently posted among the most despicable Tweets of all time. That would be courtesy of Malcolm Harris, the author of S— Is F—ed Up and Bulls— and veritable Napoleon Dynamite of communist writers.

Earlier this month on X, Harris responded to CNN’s Jake Tapper’s report that the Pennsylvania synagogue he had bar mitzphaed at had been vandalised with a swastika. Harris didn’t condemn the anti-Semitic graffiti but indirectly praised it. The meaning of the Nazi symbol had been reversed from bad to good, Harris said, “from a Nazi threat to a condemnation of genocide.”

America is evil, Hamas is good, and swastikas are now woke. This is your brain on All One Thingism.

Woody Allen tried to warn us in Sleeper that swastikas were the Radical Chic symbol of the future:

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Take Columbia’s Khymani James — please.

Well, they may be ignorant or stupid, they may be evil, but they may also need help. Take, for example, Columbia undergrad Khymani James — please. James may be in need of help, but he appears to be busy negotiating with the authorities at Columbia to stand down.

“Be glad — be grateful — that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists. I’ve never murdered anyone in my life, and I *hope* to keep it that way.” This is a top leader of @Columbia’s encampment, with whom the school is “negotiating,” expanding on his thoughts about how Israel… pic.twitter.com/ugodO4O7M5

“Unexpectedly,” CNN broke out the airbrushes to protect James:

HOLY CRAP. So @CNN had done an interview with Khymani James Thursday night where he "repeatedly declined to apologize for the video" where he said "Zionists don’t deserve to live"… and CNN didn't report it!https://t.co/EyouyhAjdn pic.twitter.com/zn20shchsQ

Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines and a Jeremy Corbyn-esque worldview, and it all makes sense.
