By Any Means Necessary

In the New York Post, Rich Lowry connects seemingly scattered dots including the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, political protests, attacks on federal buildings, vandalism of Tesla EVs and dealerships, gunfire directed at federal immigration agents, and relentless vilification of conservatives by leftists (including the Democratic Party’s top leadership) to assemble a thesis that the “resistance” to Donald Trump’s second term comprises a dispersed campaign of domestic terrorism.

The Medium is Not the Message

Ann Coulter skewers the conventional wisdom that social media cause (rather than reflect) social disorder. Whether it’s newfangled television or crazy rock n’ roll lyrics, Coulter writes on her personal website, “Older generations are always alarmed by whatever new thing young people are doing,” adding this likely dates back to “when cavemen hectored their cave children to stop making dolls out of clay.” Those who today blame social media for creating mayhem, Coulter argues, miss the key point that it is the content of the message, not the medium, that matters most.

“As incompetent as it is authoritarian”

Writing in Spiked, Tim Black reviews the falsehoods being peddled by Prime Minister Keir Starmer to rationalize the UK government’s latest campaign to impose digital identification throughout the country. Each previous such scheme, Black notes, was presented as solving the most pressing of the day – and proved a costly boondoggle. Starmer’s current pitch is that digital I.D. will cut down on illegal immigration, which is laughable given his government’s inaction on that topic.

It Was Nice While it Lasted

Victor Davis Hanson in Jewish World Review condenses his scenario for Western civilization’s imminent demise into 700 words. The West’s fatal arrogance, Hanson argues, has prevented it from repulsing the four horsemen of its own apocalypse: global warming hysterics, sexually liberalized (and largely childless) lifestyles, unrestricted illegal immigration and a descent into tribalism driven by divisive ideologies like DEI. Despite all that, Hanson also offers the outlines of a solution.
