Perhaps to no one’s surprise, Tucker Carlson just gave a full-throated defense of segregated country clubs.
Out of the blue Tucker recently attacked me on his show by recounting a story I told him ~10 years ago. In his telling, my father sued a country club for not admitting him as a member. The actual story: In the ’90s, my father waged a newspaper campaign (not a lawsuit) against local country clubs because they were discriminatory – that is, they did not admit Jews, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc., even as guests.
My brother, who was in preschool at the time, was not invited to a classmate’s birthday party because the club where the party was held did not allow Jews inside. (Yes, even 4-year-old Jews, as guests.)
That’s the fight my dad waged—at significant personal and professional cost at the time—and I’m proud of him for it.

Several attempts have been made since October 7 to kill as many Jews as possible in Canada.
The next Bondi Beach will likely happen here.
We must do everything we can to prevent it.

Every time you let the standards slip you set new standards. We are at the end of a long downwards spiral of standards slipping.
Look, everyone can believe whatever they want. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about behavior, especially when it affects others. Law and order has to enforce behavior independent of causes. Somehow, some causes seem to be allowed behavior that would never be tolerated from other causes. This double standard has to stop. Imagine the cause here would be flatearthers against indigo for selling globes spamming pro 2D plane slogans.
Cities can only function when there is a basic assumption of safety and decency. We must be more assertive with enforcing tenable norms. @oliviachow, we need your leadership here and in all the other unprecedented stuff going in our cities.

My guy @morganhousel once said
There are 3 durable edges in investing:
1) You can be smarter than everyone else
2) You can be luckier than everyone else (think birth year)
3) You can be more patient than everyone else
Which one is your edge?

Yes, idiot Canadians don’t know how good the Canadian economy actually is, so I guess we’ll give them some free money. We’ll also call it “targeted,” because the goofs won’t know any better

67% of people aged 18-24 in this Harvard-Harris poll view JEWS—not Zionists, not the Israeli government, but specifically Jews, all Jewish people—as a class of OPPRESSORS!!
This is the new form of antisemitism.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

“This is my cousin, our Noa, Noa Argamani.
An only child of Liora and Yaakov.
Noa was brutally kidnapped to the Gaza Strip.
Noa is a beautiful girl, a girl of freedom and a girl who knows how to enjoy every moment in life.
Noa is also the pillar of her family.
Liora, her mother, whose health condition has deteriorated drastically since that cursed day of October 7, must be able to see Noa quickly.
Noa must be home soon!!
All the people of Israel are waiting and looking forward to seeing her”

I just want to talk about this. This is wild.
She doesn't know about the history of Mizrahi Jews being expelled from Arab countries.
She's implying all Israeli Jews came from Europe.
And these are the people who influence debate online. They can't even grasp basic facts.

This is profoundly scary. Please watch this. Presidents of HARVARD, MIT and PENN cannot bring themselves to unequivocably condemn hate speech, when the subject is Jews. I wonder if they would be so reticent if the subject were African Americans or any other minority.
Fire them all. Burn em all down. If you send your kids to these institutions you deserve what you get. And I say that as a Harvard alum.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
