Conflating Criticism of the Government of Israel with Anti-Semitism

Ted Cruz accusing Tucker Carlson of being anti-semitic merely for Carlson questioning Cruz' positions regarding a foreign government: Israel. This is a diversionary tactic increasingly being used by those who don't want to discuss increasingly reckless and bizarre decisions by U.S. politicians regarding the coordinated use of military power by the U.S. and Israel. Fascinating conversation. It's sad to see politicians stooping this low to avoid having meaningful discussion.

Elite Medical School Social Justice “Warriors”

Such a perfect example of a "Luxury Belief" offered by Rob Henderson, the man who invented this useful phrase:

"A truly shocking finding: Graduates of top medical schools are the most likely to support vague notions of "social justice," and the least likely to actually work in socioeconomically deprived areas."

About to be Fired for the Crime of Being a Good Teacher

. . . and he is now about to be fired for being a good teacher for reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" out loud. This obtuse school district doesn't understand the use versus mention distinction. I hope he reaches out to FIRE or a competent attorney who handles First Amendment and public school employment cases.

Why Telegram is not a U.S. Company

From Vigilant Fox:

New: Pavel Durov blows Tucker Carlson’s mind by exposing U.S. law that forces engineers to install back doors—and bans them from telling their own company

This is why Telegram didn’t set up shop in America.

“You know what’s interesting, in the U.S., you have a process that allows the government to actually force any engineer in any tech company to implement a back door and not tell anyone about it.”

“Using this process called the gag-order, you know there are certain legal procedures.”

Carlson, stunned, asked: “Not tell his own employer about it?”

Durov confirmed: “Yes, exactly. If you tell your own boss, you can end up in jail. Like, gag order.”

Carlson: “Actually?!”

Durov: “Yeah.”

Carlson: “So your employees have a legal obligation to act as fifth column spies? Saboteurs against you, your employees?”

Durov didn’t hesitate: “That’s one of the reasons I didn’t move to the U.S. with my team.”

RFK, Jr. Detonates the ACIP (Vaccine Approval) Process

From Sudden and Unexpected:

BREAKING: RFK Jr. has fired all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), citing their conflicts of interest in shaping vaccine policy. He calls the action a “total overhaul to rebuild trust in vaccine science.”

“Today we are prioritizing the restoration of public trust above any specific pro- or anti-vaccine agenda,” Kennedy said. “The public must know that unbiased science—evaluated through a transparent process and insulated from conflicts of interest—guides the recommendations of our health agencies.”

The ACIP process is pure insanity. Nothing scientific about it.

Jeffrey Tucker:

For those new to ACIP who want to know why RFK blew up the entire racket today, you need only watch this clip of a typical meeting. Just remember when you read the thousands of MSM articles on how RFK is "anti-science," this is the garbage they are defending.
