When it comes to antisemitism, politicians in this country are often quick to jump on the claim without waiting for evidence.

People don’t understand what’s funny anymore. You basically have to tell them when to laugh—and that burden often falls on yours truly.
“He’s just trolling us,” I say to my wife, as I pay two hundred dollars for eggs and our town gets measles for the second year in a row.
“It’s actually so hilarious,” I explain as we discover we’ve been purged from voter rolls. She’s not chuckling yet, but I think she’s starting to get it.
The mainstream media takes him too seriously. The truth is, it’s all a big overreaction to some good old-fashioned gags.
“It’s just a prank,” I remind the bank teller as I take out a personal loan for my annual physical. I look up at a nearby television, where he’s announcing a new plan to hunt people for sport.
See that big grin of his? “What a trickster,” I smirk as I agree to a 50 percent interest rate and put a lien on my kidneys.
“It’s all a big joke,” I remind my children as we watch an infomercial for his new mandatory cryptocurrency on the only news channel we’re allowed to stream.
A new streaming deal is the latest gift to Trump from the billionaire CEO and his company — which profits off government contracts.
Editor’s note: Sectarian Sunni forces linked to the new HTS-led government of Syria have massacred over 1300 Alawites in the past week, according to a conservative estimate. The Grayzone has spoken to staff from a Western aid organization currently on the ground in Syria who say the death toll is much higher than the official count. They told us that over 4000 Alawites have been killed, thousands are wounded with little access to medical assistance, and some 200,000 are internally […]

“Flights to Guantánamo Bay have begun. The worst of the worst have no place in our homeland.” With those words the U.S. government announced the fate awaiting “criminal aliens” in its custody. On a military base in El Paso, Texas, masked men in combat fatigues paraded a group of young Venezuelan immigrants, their hands cuffed and their ankles shackled, in front of the cameras, before loading them onto a waiting Air Force C-17, which was to deliver its human cargo to Naval Station Guantánamo Bay overnight. Once there, they were to be incarcerated in the infamous Camp 6, held incommunicado in the same cells where al-Qaeda suspects were once held in indefinite detention, and guarded by the 1st Battalion, 6th...

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy…” — Elon Musk
- - -
I see Musk’s point. Empathy is destroying Western civilization, which is why it’s good that he and DOGE got rid of all those USAID programs around the world. Fending off starvation in Ethiopia and providing clean water in Colombia was completely crippling Western civilization, taking away precious funds we should be using to buy crypto.

So, we’ve talked before about problems with Tesla. His competitors are, to put it simply, producing better cars which cost less, especially but not only the Chinese like BYD. Meanwhile Musk’s politics, like denying climate change and throwing a Nazi salute, while tying himself to Trump just as Trump is pissing off almost every country whose consumers buy Tesla vehicles has made customers a lot less interested in buying Tesla. He’s trashing his own brand with the people who supported it most.
Whatever happened to the notion that, faced with the enemies of democracy, we should fight their ideas but, equally, for their right to express them?
