The Iranian-Palestinian political terror project in our time is a hierarchy of expendable human shields, with a base of Palestinians dying in the thousands to slake the bloodlust of Iran's leaders who are never placed at any risk The underbosses of Hezbollah and Hamas operate at the next level down, offering their "constituents" up as sacrifices in return for massive wealth and power - exposing themselves to only marginally greater danger than their Iranian capos

This is huge.

What I mean is that this court decision has huge implications for #schoolchoice. Whether private schools, religious or not, or #homeschool, every stitch removed from the seam that binds American children to public schools - an increasingly debased institution - is critical.

I met so many of my mostly- (and some cases, previously only-) online friends at #CPAC2023 @CPAC that this alone would have justified going!

I know I'm going to forget some of your handles, and please forgive me, but this includes (in no particular order): > @KurtSchlichter @JanJekielek @JennaEllisEsq @josh_hammer @andashleysays @DonaldJTrumpJr @ltwombly93 @ymenken @EVKontorovich @ScottPresler @JackPosobiec @willchamberlain @jordylancaster @JimHansonDC @elliotdordick @ChayaRaichik >

One of the most important issues afoot in our country today is the psychological, emotional and medical torture of schoolchildren in the names of causes such as "gender studies," "trans rights" and "gender affirming care."

I have avoided discussing it myself because it's simply… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… This phenomenon - and I am going to say that it is all of a piece - represents the mutually reinforcing coalescence of a number of forces.

I am going to merely list them here and then drink my hemlock. >

Sleazy @upennlaw refuses to produce any evidence that what #AmyWax said about minority performance at the school was wrong.

The Grievance procedure, however, places the burden on the dean to put up or shut up - @JaneBColeman in @LegInsurrection twitter.com/i/web/status/1… By December, @dailypenn gloated over the shrinking enrollment in Wax's remaining classes. 

It didn't mention that the dean cynically created *new courses on the same topics she teaches* to discourage students from enrolling in hers #sleazy #woke

It's going to get really ugly in the land of the @GOP starting right now

And I'm ☠️absolutely💀 down for it As @ballabon explained, the #RNC is built to #fail

(Full interview )

Endorsement by @NYYRC: Harmeet Dhillon for Chairwoman of the RNC

"The @nyyrc is proud to endorse @pnjaban for RNC Chairwoman. We believe that Harmeet is the strongest candidate to lead the RNC and that she will end the incumbent’s abysmal losing streak ..."

https://twitter.com/RonColeman/status/1618754794293960704

"The RNC must be a force to be reckoned with & facilitate party & movement builders.
"Harmeet is a successful attorney & businesswoman who will do just that. She has a proven track record of winning the fight for conservative principles & the 1A rights of her fellow Americans" >

Twitter is still very broken.

In this thread - which, like almost everything I have written this month, has had virtually no engagement (because on December 1st I became boring and a bad writer) - I talk about how I have once again encountered a hard cap on follower growth. >

And, unfortunately, because our quick-take habituation has made so many of us so stupid, I have to pause here again to say this is not about Ron wishing he had more followers. Of course I do, and if you don't, great; you don't have to tell me.

It's about how broken Twitter is. >

@GREENESJ333 @sunflow03459537 @jenvanlaar @KurtSchlichter @pnjaban In 2020 I went to Philadelphia on @pnjaban’s dime to help out the legal efforts of both the Trump campaign and the RNC. I was not alone. Republican lawyers and staff were absolutely flooding the zone

https://twitter.com/pnjaban/status/1324408019547942915

@GREENESJ333 @sunflow03459537 @jenvanlaar @KurtSchlichter @pnjaban Our side GOT the orders. We WON in court.

And … the Philadelphia County Election Board literally told us, to our faces, “Yeah, we’re not complying with that order.”

And the sheriff of that county - whose job it is to enforce state court orders - refused to do so.

The @ADL, under the leadership of Obama operative @JGreenblattADL, is committed not only to its own institutional destruction but to the erosion of every gain American Jews have achieved in terms of being perceived as loyal and patriotic Americans Part of this campaign - and it couldn’t have been better designed for the job if it were the brainchild of Henry Ford - is nonsense like @jlensnetwork, which is evidently meant to confirm every antisemitic conspiracy theory about Jewish finance at once israelnationalnews.com/news/362617

@AWeissmann_ "While chief of the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section, Smith helped with the prosecution against then-Gov. Bob McDonnell, who was indicted and convicted on federal corruption charges related to bribery in 2014. The Supreme Court unanimously overturned McDonnell’s conviction in 2016"

Such pedestrian takes underselling tonight’s results for the GOP.

At no point in US history has every single cultural institution - press, entertainment, academia, unions, public employees, the massive public employee sector, the professions, law enforcement, federal agencies > > major corporations, Wall Street, non-profits, mainline Protestant denominations, the military - I could go on - been so profoundly and explicitly aligned the way they have been behind the Left in the last five years.

There’s nothing “typical” about this midterm election. >

Hey @yoyoel - how did you convince @elonmusk to let you retain the chief of groupthink role at Twitter when you don’t follow (as far as I could tell; I eventually gave up) a single account that might directly challenge your political assumptions or commitment to censorship? Wouldn’t it at least “look better” for you to pretend you’re interested in the views of the most influential Twitter users that don’t share your views, so you could at least *simulate* giving a damn or being open to “evolving”?

@annateresa79 @NativeSon_No1 @kurenaixiii @EricJRyanLaw @Katerationopia You can thank @cbouzy for making that happen

#uniternotdivider @annateresa79 @NativeSon_No1 @kurenaixiii @EricJRyanLaw @Katerationopia @cbouzy What exactly did she think was going to happen when she subtweeted her little paralegal thoughts about how incompetent a lawyer she’s never interacted with is?

Interested a bit in this #DHSleaks story?

Guess what: It's not just the feds; the states are doing it too. Our client Rogan O'Handley (@DC_Draino) got the receipts via @JudicialWatch ... and a Cali federal judge dismissed the case

Appeal goes to the 9th Circuit next month

Our firm does a lot of defamation work. Like my colleagues, I have worked both sides of these cases. Here's an example of a fairly recent dismissal I obtained for a defamation defendant agudah.org/legal-issue-af… In another fairly recent case I represented a defamation plaintiff (a Democratic mayor in NJ) in a lawsuit against political rivals (Republicans) who falsely maligned his professional ethic newjerseyglobe.com/local/bergenfi…

NB: Joe Biden did succeed as proof of concept:

They CAN install a mentally incompetent version of someone who was never too smart in the first place as POTUS, and loyal party members and institutions will proceed as if nothing is wrong and as if he is actually making decisions The Fetterman debacle, however, has demonstrated that, at least at the state level, there is (please God!) a limit to getting away with this... at least for a normal state; for Pennsylvania is not New York or California.

Why does it appear that it will (please God!) not work?

I am SO proud of this graphic, and want to thank @Apple for making it so easy to lift those clown pictures from their backgrounds through the new iOS

Also thanks a ton to @nytimes for always being there with the inspiration. Hardest working people in show biz, I mean that
