Mia Schem is a 21 year old Israeli who was kidnapped at the Nova EDM festival on October 7, after her arm was mangled by a terrorist with an AK.
She tells her story on Israeli TV.
I’m trying to imagine a 21 year old American of either (any?) gender responding to 55 days of psychological and physical torture like this:
In fact, given the number of Zoomers who are siding with “Palestine”, it’d seem they’ve been programmed out of this sort of resilience.
…who the real victim in the Claudine Gay flap at Harvard (according to the university’s governing “Corportation”) actually is.
It’s Claudine Gay:
“And she’d have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for those darn meddling pouncing conservativesI”!
And while Gay is gone, let’s remember that it’s not for the reason she should have been tossed:
And that’s the real atrocity, here.
UPDATE: The “community” is speaking:
My question: Is the AP proverbially “saying the quiet part out loud” – is plagiarism the new norm among “elite academics”?
Rabbi Schmuley relates this episode in Paris.
No, of course it’s not Paris. It’s New York. (Although if that giggle trollop girl is 11 years old, I’m 18.
But this is…Christmastime in the USA today.
UPDATE: Schmuley seems to bring them out of the woodwork:
I’m a little old-fashioned in a lot of ways. I guess part of it goes along with being a conservative. And/or a Christian. And/or a decent human being.
Which is why seeing the current statistics about the beliefs of the younger Gen-Zs seem so very catastrophic to me.
Huge percentages of people from the late teens through late 20s:
It’s to them that I commend this Israeli documentary about the massacre at the Nova dance party – drawn entirely from footrage from partygoers and the terrorists themselves.
It’s all in Hebrew and Arabic – but it’s easy enough, and utterly terrifying, to figure out for yourself what’s going on anyway, as the film spirals from ecstasy-soaked rave through “Iron Domes” bursting in the distance, to swarms of goons with AKs and RPGs murdering and grenading civilians, fleeing and hiding for their lives.
And in my unguarded moments tempted to tell actual humans to force their acquaintances who believe it’s all a conspiracy to watch it. Jamming it down their throats if necessary. With a stick and a hammer, if needed.
But that’d be uncivil, wouldn’t it?
Almost as uncivil as hoping the IDF strangles the last Hamas terrorist with his own entrails.
PS: you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold head hand.
PPS: Palestinian Arabic is an extraordinarily ugly sounding language.
SCENE: Mitch BERG is walking to his parked car after a political event in downtown Saint Paul. As he walks past a near-empty office building, MyLyssa SILBERMAN, Reporter for National Public Radio’s Saint Paul bureau, covering the “Fake News” and “Diversity” beats, steps out.
SILBERMAN: Merg!
BERG: Er, hey, Mylys…
SILBERMAN: In recent years, you’ve pounced on Demcorats for saying “tut, tut, nobody’s coming for your guns…”
BERG: ….and pointing the reams of legislation that shows that they are, but that that’s not good enough unless there’s actually a cop beating down your door.
SILBERMAN: Uh…
BERG: If the cops are busting down one’s neighbor’s door, I should shut up because they’re not storming my house yet. Point being, the progressive line on all outrages against freedom is “If it’s not happening to you right this second, no matter how imminent, then it’s not a threat”.
SILBERMAN: Don’t you think that’s a bit unfair?
BERG: You tell me:
SILBERMAN: Not sure I get your point…
BERG: Yeah, I don’t imagine you do.
AND SCENE
Blue City governments apparently think banning matches will prevent fire.
No, it hasn’t quite gotten that stupid ytet. But give ’em time.
Banning guns (in the hands of the law-abiding citiizen, at least) is a pretty common…conceit? Deflection? Fig leaf? Anyway – the notion that barring law-abiding citizens from using legal things to do things they weren’t going to do in the first place will affect crime (positively) is the sort of thing you have to believe to be a modern Democrat.
But that sound you hear?
It’s the bottom of the intellectual barrel being scraped.
Philadephia bans ski masks in some public places.
“The City of Philadelphia has been under siege with individuals who use ski masks to commit crimes. It’s caught onto not just young people, but young adults who have made this a particular thing to do,” Phillips told CNN. “The Philadelphia Police Department can’t tell who’s a criminal and not a criminal, which makes it difficult for crimes to be solved in Philadelphia.”
Sarah Peterson, a spokesperson for the mayor’s office, told CNN, “The administration will review the legislation, and in the meantime looks forward to our ongoing work with City Council on the urgent matter of ensuring public safety.”
The Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in people wearing various face coverings including ski masks, “complicated policing” because mask mandates made it easier for criminals to conceal their identities, Philadelphia Police Department Deputy Commissioner Francis Healy said during a committee hearing in November.
Philadelphia has a crime problem.
Too many ski masks? Could be.
Could also be all the depraved leftists:
Place your bets.
I was warned that if I voted Republican, there’d be an explosion of Fascist sympathizers.
And they were right.
Berg’s 7th Law is called a “law” for a reason.
Senator Ron Latz – an anti-gun zealot about whom I’ve never, not once, said anything good or complimentary – came out in support of Israel finishing the job of removing a terrorist group that has spent decades training its children to hate Jews, and is currently not only deliberately using civilians as human shields, but bragging about it.
And his DFL colleagues were not amused:
The DFL responded “Nuh-uh” in defense of a group that has created a generation that in fact is trained to venerate killing Jews. Because the truth about “Palestinians” is to DFLers what sunlight and garlic is to vampires.
The Senate DFL Caucus went full-on fascist symp in response:
CAIR is trying to put the squeeze on.
I’d say this makes a good electoral “hit list”, although of this entire list of genocide symps, the closest to one to a “contestable” seat is Erin Maye Quade. One hopes Apple Valley does better. I, for one, am going to do my bit to make sure they remember this.
Just to be clear, this is what the MNDFL supports. It’s a long thread.
If you happen to know a “progressive” who supports this mob, push their snout to the screen and make them read the whole thing. :
Tear these down, bitch.

I don’t have a literal wall to paste ’em up on. Play the hand you’re dealt.
My friend, advice columnist and author Amy Alkon, has been chronicling the orgy of antisemitism bursting out in the Los Angeles area.
She filmed this encounter over the weekend:
Let’s take Judaism, Antisemitism and the Middle East out of this incident. Let’s say this was a domestic altercation. A man Two men use their physical bulk and subtly aggressive invasion of personal space to force a woman out of the way? That’d be considered abuse in court, and justification for a restraining order and, likely, loss of child custody if the woman really wanted to put her back into it, legally .
When I was working in bars, if I saw a man behaving like this around a woman, I’d have called the bouncers in. And there’s nothing those bouncers liked more than having a pretext to pummel guys who were threatening the ladies.
Big Left – maybe 5% of the population – is trying to intimidate the 55% that passively or actively disagree with them into submission.
And the subtle threat of violence implicit is there, in this “man’s” delivery and in Big Left’s approach to every issue today – be careful, or you’ll get Swatted/a visit from “Anti”-Fa/doxxed – is waiting out there for everyone – especially if you try to rally in response.
I’ll be interviewing Amy on my show this coming Saturday.
The incredibly aptly named Representative Debbie Dingell lectures us on semantics:
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free“ means different things to different people in different times!“, says the font of wisdom, in rising to the defense of the loathsome modern Nazi Rashida Tlaib.
And she’s right, in a sense.
The phrase “the final solution” can mean a lot of different things; it can be the formula that gets rid of your Creeping Charlie, or solves your credit card debt. So, too, can the German phrase “Arbeit Macht Frei”, or “work will set you free” which, set free of other context, seems straight out of Horatio Alger
Except.
Except when you’re talking about people who wanted, or want, to remove Jews, from some corner of the world.
Then, they mean exactly one thing, and one thing only. And anyone who pretends otherwise is being disingenuous, precious, a useful, idiot, or lying like a sack of garbage.
And if Dingell is capable of being anything, it might very well be all four.
Whatever opposition I’ve had to deportation of illegal immigrants is waning fast:
I’ll work my ass off for the first Presidential candidate to promise to deport aliens who are actively hostile to everything this country stands for.
I said “actively”.
And if the people in this mob are citizens? Deport whatever immigration official or politician OKed their naturalization.
Or at least tar and feather them.
I wish more American – especially Minnesota DFL – politicians could speak with the moral clarity that German vice-chancellor Robert Habeck does:
While allowing that the Germans have a tighter definition of free speech than we do – when you let the depraved speak out loud, you can see what they’re doing in a way you can’t in Europe, and I vastly prefer the American way – this would still be considered pretty daring in the US.
And he’s a Green.o. Talking like a classical liberal, on this issue at least.
This is apposed to the avatar of modern left-liberal left-center-leftism, President Obama…
…who is right at the top of the short list for worst president ever, with Woodrow Wilson, and far and away the worst of my lifetime.
When Germans out-do Amercan pols on this subject, it’s time for some electoral bells to be rung.
(Links bogarted from Powerline).
Someone walks up to you with a baseball bat. They say they want to kill you.
Your response is “no, I don’t want to get beaten to death with a baseball bat”.
Looks like you have a standoff. A controversy. A conundrum.
Someone else steps in and asks “How about we compromise? Will you settle for a traumatic brain injury?”
It’s the middle way, after all. The guy with the bat might even say “sure, I just wanna hit you, hard!“
You might respond “No – in fact, I don’t want anyone hurting me in any way. At all”
And the buttinski responds “Why won’t yiou compromise?”
Who’s right?
You?
The guy with the bat?
Or the person striving to find the middle ground between the two of you?
If your response is “I’m putting my foot down; nobody is hitting me with a bat for any reason at all“, and the other to ask “why do you hate the guy with the bat?“, does that change anybody’s mind?
Point being, sometimes the middle path, the compromise, is not the most moral path forward.
Hamas leader puts out a dog whistle to western leftists:
It’s not even close to the dumbest strategy.
The Nazis weren’t especially coy about their views on Jews. Hitler telegraphed his intent in Mein Kampf. The Nuremberg Laws were a pretty solid hint.
And yet in 1944 and 1945, as the wheels came off the Third Reich, they feverishly bulldozed the camps, shipped or force-marched the surviving inmates to other camps farther from the front, and tried to erase the record – because even the Nazis knew that their “final solution” wasn’t going to go over well with the outside world ,and could see war crimes trials in their futures.
Hamas, on the other hand, in carrying out the same mission as any of Hitler’s Einsatzgruppen, with the same exact methods they used in every shtetl in Eastern Poland (shooting, raping, smashing, burning), put it out on social media, with gleeful pride, to get eaten up by the gleeful masses of droogs on the “red/green” left…
….and, for whatever reason, ultra-right.
I was halfway through my trip when the worst atrocity agains the Jews, and one of the most ocncentrated orgies of violence against civilians since Rwanda, happened.
Ben Shapiro had probably one of the best hours of broadcasting ever last Monday. The video includes a lot of uncensored blood and gore and horrific violence in process – which is the point.
Here is is on Youtube, until it no doubt gets taken down.
Here’s the audio version, for when they do.
“Let’s not be picking black hats and white hats, here – this is a complicated situation”.
No, it’s not.
“The is a complicated situation”
Historically? Sure. .
In terms of this past week? Not complicated at all.
But let’s let you show us how complicated it *really really isn’t*. Answer this question; think of someone who did you wrong; the person who transgressed you worse than anyone in the world.
Q: What would it take for *you* to shoot that person in the face as he shielded his kids? What would it take for *you* to then rape, kill and mutilate his wife, to burn his siblings houses with his siblings and families inside, to give his daughter over to your rapey friends to haul off to another country to rape and kill, to saw his son’s head off, and use the other son as a human shield when the SWAT team arrived?
Did you answer “I would never do that?”
If not, why not?
It’s not a complicated answer at all. If you answered “No, under no circumstances would I do that”, it’s because you are not evil.
Which is what we’re talking about, here. Evil. There is no other word.
