The Irish government probably thinks hugging your grandparents is a Zionist plot.
🇮🇪 The Irish state has published an advert discouraging grandparents from hugging their grandchildren, as part of a campaign designed to promote "consent".

Is he a putz, a schmuck, or a schlemiel?

For the top 98-99% of people in a country, the US is a better place to be. The average American in poverty has higher consumption than the median European. American education, for all its problems, is better than European education. You basically have to be a criminal, a Muslim fanatic, or someone who refuses to find a job to be better off in Europe.
Reminder that for the average person in a country, the US is probably the best place to be

Can’t wait to see the show tonight!
25 Years ago today I was honored to perform "Superman" at Paul McCartney's Concert for NY, surrounded by @FDNY heroes, at MSG. On 9/9/26 I was again deeply honored to perform at the @FDNY 25 year Memorial Ceremony in Staten Island. My remarks and performance. #NeverForget 🇺🇸❤️

New: @JKetcham91 @ishapiro and I filed a version of our "Brandeis brief" on pediatric gender medicine in the parental rights case Hudacko v. Regents of the University of California. Plaintiff Ted Hudacko has appealed to SCOTUS after an unfavorable 9th circuit ruling.

Is this SNL?
NOW - Macron addresses the nation, calling for order and says that the youth of France are "expressing great anguish and concern about the future... we need to pay heed to what they are saying and we must not minimise the hardships that they are facing."

Oh no what will Macron do? Maybe it’s time to recognize “Palestine” again
🇫🇷 Oh no, not this! Protesters in Paris are already near the Louvre Is the world's most visited and oldest art museum under threat? Judging by the footage we've seen earlier, anything is possible. French cities have literally turned into war zones over the weekend. Macron is set to deliver an emergency address to the nation this evening.

This is 5 minutes of El-Sayed refusing to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood while insulting a voter for asking the question. Should be a Rogers ad tomorrow.
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Who among us hasn't rioted and looted and targeted Jewish-owned stores to burn to the ground when we've been given dog-eared textbooks as students?

These “high school students” in France look a lot like the “civilian journalists” in Gaza.
Do these really look like high schoolers annoyed that their classrooms are too dirty?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This image appeared in a July 31, 2021 Swedish report on a gang clash in Hjällbo, Gothenburg—not a school protest. Swedish public broadcaster SVT independently reported the May 28 clash. samnytt.se/se-hela-klankr… svt.se/nyheter/lokalt…

They’re just asking for educational reform!
French journalist Paul Amar: “They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners. In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”

What did you think “globalize the intifada” meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?
BREAKING: The town hall of Limoges, built in 1873, didn’t survive today’s riots. The building’s spire has now collapsed

Those of us who fight so hard and yell so loud against this shit know that it is a Trojan horse importing radical islamists who are committed to the destruction of the west. Those of you staying silent or are scared of social ostracism - look what the alternative is.

I’m a member of the NY bar and holding yourself out as an attorney when you’re not is a misdemeanor. I don’t think the lawyer/attorney distinction cuts it. You can advertise your JD, but you’re either admitted to the bar or you’re not.
In the wake of "lawyer v. attorney" kerfuffle, I learned folks feel very strongly about people claiming to be an attorney/lawyer if not able to practice law. I also learned that commentator Elie Mystal (who self-describes as an attorney) never got admitted in NY. It's the same

I genuinely don't understand how tens of thousands of Christians are being massacred in Africa by Islamists and nobody seems to care.
BREAKING: A three-year-old child was one of eleven Christians butchered in Nigeria by Islamists this week. His father stated, “I saw more than 15 heavily armed men moving from house to house and chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ while macheting our people.” Where is the outrage?
