Thoughts On Sea Changes
…from Blake Powers.
It’s going to get ugly, but at least Americans are armed. They should have listened to Yamamoto.
GAZA COA Decision Brief
None of these are ideal, but all are superior to the status quo. Israel gave them their chance to govern themselves. They blew it.
Biden’s Latest Foreign-Policy Debacle
Thoughts from VDH.
Also, “White House issues condemnation of attack that Biden funded.”

Mark Steyn: Proportionate on gang rape.
Israel declared war on Hamas, but they know that the real war is with Iran. And I suspect that behind the scenes, despite whatever public statements the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia says, they’re coordinating.

We are up against an Axis of Devils.

What’s behind Obama’s silence on Israel?

Thoughts on Israel’s existential war.
Ethnic cleansing works. Not a great solution, but it’s a solution. It’s unclear that there is any other. And it’s a long tradition in that region.
And if an ethnicity is to be cleansed, crazy me, I think it should be the one that brutally murders and rapes innocent civilians, films the atrocities with the victims’ own phones, and uploads them to their social media, and produces nothing but misery for its own people, rather than the one that made a desert bloom, created a modern industrial western democracy, and takes great care to avoid civilian casualties.
But maybe that’s just me. Judging by what you hear on campus, and from some Democrat representatives, it probably is.

Mark Steyn again: Partying on.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

…should be a warning to our own intelligence agencies.
But it probably won’t be.
[Update a few minutes later]
Disturbing thoughts from Blake Powers.
Rand Paul’s Fauci Expose
…reads like a bioweapons spy thriller.
Except, sadly, it’s not fiction. And Fauci (and others) have yet to be held to account.
The Coming Population Decline
Thoughts from Robin Hanson on the fertility reckoning.
Elon worries about this. But I suspect that it will mean that religions that promote fertility, like LDS, will take over.
The Administrative State
This is the term in which the Supreme Court (finally) takes it on.
The Covid Cover Up
Great summary by Jim Meigs.
Manufacturing In LA
Interesting video from Ashlee Vance.
