The Deep State’s Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card

by Jay Rogers

“Last Wednesday, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent FBI Director Kash Patel a letter demanding every document connected to an operation codenamed Round River. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s understandable; it’s the sequel nobody promoted, and I’ll get to it. I’ve spent part of my career testifying as an expert witness on fiduciary duty, the branch of law that punishes people for betraying the trust placed in them. Measured by that standard, Round River isn’t merely disinformation; it’s a breach of duty so complete that in my industry it would end a career and trigger a bar complaint. In Washington, it’s earned a strongly worded letter. That’s the whole scandal in one sentence: the deep state keeps getting caught, and nobody ever pays for it.” (09/11/26)

“We Want that the Whole Land Be Jewish”

Source: Free Association
by Sheldon Richman

“[W]hen secular Zionism arose in the late 19th century, which proposed an ‘ingathering of exiles’ (that is, virtually the entire Jewish diaspora), most observant Jews opposed twisting their religion into a nationalistic movement in search of statehood. They feared that a state would replace God and Torah. They also believed that a Jewish state would endanger their emancipated status in their home countries and require domination of the Palestinian Arabs. The anti-Zionists’ prophecy proved correct. In light of the Holocaust, which changed the presentation of Zionism from an ingathering project to a refugee program, Jewish anti-Zionism faded but did not disappear.” (09/11/26)

Twenty-Five Years Later, We Must Rebuild

“More than a third of the U.S. population today is under 30 years of age. This is the only America they ever have known. They may have seen the new World Trade Center, which is, in a kind of perverse victory for continuity in aesthetics if nothing else, about as ugly as the old one, but its symbolic status is mostly lost on them. Those of us who are older want to tell them that this is not normal, but, of course, it is we who are the outliers, we graybeards with our books and our memories. This is not the ‘new normal’—it is just normal, from the wider historical point of view. What we should be trying to make them understand is not that this is not normal but that normal is not good enough.” (09/11/26)

A 5-year-old’s neighborhood walk shouldn’t be a crime

by Lenore Skenazy

“When Karyann Parkinson’s 5-year-old son, Sam, asked if he could walk about a half mile to their neighborhood pond to collect goose feathers, she didn’t have a hard time saying yes. It was June. They’d walked the route before, including that morning. Her son is mature, and their surroundings are part of what the homeowners association describes as a ‘secure, multi-generational gated community.’ The risks were low, and yet Karyann is fast becoming famous for what came next. … Thanks to Karyann’s transgression — trusting her son — she was placed on Virginia’s child abuse and neglect registry for seven years. In court, she was found guilty of ‘contributing to the delinquency of a minor’ — a Class 1 misdemeanor — and given a six-month suspended jail sentence.” (09/11/26)

9/11’s Aftereffect: The Constitutional Accountability Abyss

“Over the last several weeks in the lead up to the 25th anniversary of al Qaeda’s attack on the U.S., I’ve had American and foreign journalists ask me the same question: how did 9/11 change America? My answer has generally been some version of this: 9/11 didn’t change us, we allowed it to change us, and in doing so critically damaged our very own political way of life.” (09/11/26)

Don’t be deceived by the dodges of lefty Dems like James Talarico

“James Talarico, the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, is rushing to escape his on-the-record gender insanity — but it’s clearly just a dodge, part of lefty candidates’ nationwide playbook to claim to embrace ‘normalcy’. Talarico has unambiguously claimed there are six genders and that God is nonbinary; as a state legislator he voted against bills to keep biological boys out of girls’ sports and to end gender-reassignment treatments for minors. Now he tells Fox News those six-gender comments ‘missed the mark’; he insists he supports a trans-athlete ban and a national ban on gender surgeries and hormones for kids. Has he seen the light of reason and started to actually follow the science on the issue? Don’t bet on it.” (09/12/26)
