Ok, Democrats: It's been a couple of days since 2 Congresswomen shared a cartoon by a notorious anti-Semite. Will a single one of you stand up for your Jewish constituents and the non-Jewish ones who abhor hate? Or is the new standard if Trump attacks you you're beyond reproach?
A U.S. elected official sharing the work of Mondoweiss. You just hate to see it. Will any Democrats call this out or nah?
Man, people out here saying this particular cartoon isn't anti-Semitic (it is) -- so you would have shared it yourself? Of course you wouldn't. You didn't. So elected officials now are held to a lower standard? GTFO with that. They have Jewish constituents!
The blatant disregard for the well-being of American Jews, and the defense of that disregard as a moral virtue, is not something I thought I would see in my lifetime. It's really hard to accept that it's happening.

"Vote Trump and you will see a mass exodus of manufacturing from China to Pennsylvania, from South Korea to North Carolina, and from Germany to Georgia." President @realDonaldTrump lays out his economic plan in an exclusive OpEd for @Newsweek:
newsweek.com/donald-trump-m…
"My industrial policy is one piece of an economic vision for revitalizing this country for the hardest working Americans. It will join my tax cuts and my proposal to ban all taxes on overtime hours, tips for service workers, and Social Security benefits for our great seniors."
"The centerpiece of my plan for a manufacturing renaissance will be a 15% Made in America Corporate Tax Rate, cutting the business tax from 21% to 15%—but only for those who make their product in America," writes @realDonaldTrump: Image

If Harris were being honest, her campaign slogan wouldn’t be “Kamala Harris—for the people.” It would be, “Let them eat the joy of the rich and powerful.” That’s all that’s on offer. My write up of the DNC for @AmerCompass: Image
Who is Kamala Harris? What does she plan to do as president? There was gaslighting aplenty as we were reintroduced to a woman we all know, as if she were a blank slate available for projection. Michelle Obama' speech was especially notable on this front: Image
To the extent that a pitch was made to the American people about what a Harris/Walz administration would look like, it was that it would be filled with the joy of the rich and the famous, of Kerry Washington and Hillary Clinton, JB Pritzker and Michelle Obama, Oprah and Pink.

It's nice to see bipartisan support for Jews but this congressional bill to expand the definition of antisemitism is bad for the U.S. and bad for Jews. This country was literally founded on the idea that there should be no government reprisals for speech, including hate speech.
Add to that the fact that the IHRA definition of antisemitism is awful—vague, overly broad, and reliant on examples. It's useless. Universities already have laws protecting Jewish students from discrimination. They didn't enforce them, and they are going to pay for that in court.
We don't protect American Jews from hate by turning on the values this great nation was founded on. We do so by embracing a country that has always protected us, by embracing what makes this country unique, a big part of which is the First Amendment!

I am so thrilled to share that you can now pre-order my new book, "Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women," which comes out on April 2. I cannot wait for you to meet the incredible Americans who shared their stories with me.
amazon.com/Second-Class-B…
I am so unbelievably grateful to @rogerkimball and the whole team @EncounterBooks for continuing to believe in me and my work. And I am so deeply humbled by the trust that was given to me by the working-class men and women featured in the book.
"In Second Class, working-class Americans of all races, political orientations, and occupations share their stories—cleaning ladies, health care aides, cops, truck drivers, fast food workers, electricians, and more. In their own words, these working-class Americans explain the struggles and triumphs of their increasingly precarious lives—as well as what policies they think would improve them."

The problem with elite universities goes so much deeper than denying Jewish and white students safetyism. The Ivies represent the elite's belief that they should have absolute rule over the masses, who they have just endless contempt for. And that's how Trump was banned in CO:
Elite universities aren't institutions of learning but sites for reproducing status, elite belonging. These people truly believe they deserve to rule over average folks. Hence the Orwellian "We must protect the people from voting for their chosen candidate—to defend democracy!"
How can people say with a straight face they are defending democracy by barring the most popular candidate? The class divide in the US which apportioned over 50% of GDP to the credentialed elite convinced them they deserve to hoard not just the American Dream but the franchise.

It's actually bad to have the leadership of higher education be subject to the whims of a billionaire—even a billionaire you agree with. It is no defense of the rotting American university system to believe that this is not the way you fix it. Those billionaires got us here!
The university system is deeply corrupt. It's not really antisemitism we're seeing but anti-Americanism. It's a big mistake for Jews to insist that "No, we belong with the oppressed!" We belong with those fighting for this great nation—with all the others hated by the woke elite.
As long as universities were self-contained fiefdoms where people awarded each other credentials and plaudits, their corruption didn't matter too much. But you now need a college degree to have a shot at the American Dream. For such a corrupt system to be the determining factor in who gets a middle class life is unaccaptable.
