“While genuine concern exists, constant warnings from AI companies serve as both a marketing tool and consolidation strategy.” (10/01/26)

“Something curious has happened to the young, a new government report suggests: ‘the number of high school students who use marijuana has decreased by almost half — 44 percent — since states started enacting adult-use legalization.’ … a standard argument against marijuana legalization: If marijuana is readily available, kids will increase usage of the ‘pernicious weed.’ Hasn’t happened! But why?” (10/01/26)

“The ‘Cornell 7’ gang rape case is descending into the same lynch-mob hysteria as the notorious Duke lacrosse or ‘mattress girl’ hoaxes of old — only with social media making ­everything worse. It seems we have learned nothing from past injustices. A young woman who goes by ‘Jane Doe’ has filed a civil lawsuit two years after she alleged she was gang-raped by seven men in a sordid, drug-fueled sexual encounter at the Chi Phi fraternity house at the elite Cornell University, where she was a student at the time. Predictably, the fraternity brothers have been judged guilty in the court of man-hating public opinion. Yet, according to Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, citing Doe’s sworn statement to campus investigators in November 2024, she ‘described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious and consensual’. When she told the young men to stop, they did.” (09/30/26)

“It is time to talk about victory in the Russia–Ukraine War. Politicians and the media regularly use the word, yet it has come to signify nothing. In Ukraine, a political battle is breaking out over which narrative of victory will be accepted by the people. For some, a 10-year-old dancer with a prosthetic leg is a living advertisement for Ukraine’s ‘unbreakability.’ But a growing number of Ukrainians are done participating in that story. Incessant preaching about ‘resilience’ while the situation on the ground only worsens has exhausted their patience.” (10/01/26)

“On October 7, 2023, Hamas killers slaughtered 1,200 people, more than two-thirds of them civilians, inside Israel. For the ensuing three weeks, they refused Israel’s demands to turn over the 251 hostages and to surrender the architects of the massacre. No matter; within a day of the attacks, when Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli troops on Israeli soil, the American Left was already screaming ‘genocide!’ They did not mean Hamas’s intended genocide of Jews, a foretaste of which was seen when it launched a surprise invasion force of more than 4,000 terrorists some 15 miles into Israel. The killers were accompanied by some 2,000 ‘innocent’ Gazan ‘civilians’. All were bent on looting, murder, rape, torture, and hostage-taking of the defenseless. Nor did the ‘genocide’ chorus refer to the more than 13,000 rockets, missiles, and drones launched from Gaza after October 7 that predominantly targeted Israeli civilian neighborhoods.” (10/01/26)
