“Most Americans probably missed a potentially game-changing shift in Trump’s war against Mexico’s drug cartels: a new tactic that could cripple the cartels and has the potential to be more effective than anything ever tried.” My latest @theammind americanmind.org/salvo/trump…

Israel’s superhuman efforts to protect the people that elected Hamas, colluded in its savagery and barbarism on Oct. 7th and for years before, and who overwhelmingly consist of genocidal Jew-haters imperiled Israeli hostages, warfighters, and civilians. It prolonged the war and dramatically increased its costs by myriad measures. It benefited its enemies in a million ways. And the reward it got for its humanitarianism were the blood libels of “genocide” and “starvation,” and a campaign of international delegitimization and isolation. There’s a lesson in all that for the Western world when it comes to dealing with Islamic supremacists.

The Counterlawfare Institute has a new article up on the Michael Caputo situation. As awful as it is to see Caputo and his family dragged into this again after everything they have already endured, the broader danger of privatization of lawfare is even bigger. Once these tactics migrate outside government, they no longer depend on who controls DOJ, the FBI, or the White House. All they require are wealthy people willing to fund the lawyers needed to keep the lawfare machinery running indefinitely. This is exactly the kind of development the Counterlawfare Institute was created to document, expose, and confront before it can take root. counterlawfare.org/research/…

They aren't "settlers" and they are overwhelmingly the victims of violence
Six hours before the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, Netanel Shukrun, a father of six, was killed when a terrorist opened fire on his car. Netanel used his last seconds of life to tell his son to run. An hour later, a terrorist tried to ram soldiers at a checkpoint. An hour after that, an Israeli who took a wrong turn into a village in the Hebron Hills was attacked and wounded. Forty minutes later, another attempted ramming targeted Israeli troops. Ten minutes after that, a vehicle with no license plates tried to run down two Israelis. Simply another average day in Judea and Samaria. And people wonder why Israelis tire of the endless accusations of settler violence. By August 11, the Foreign Ministry had counted 896 Palestinian terror attacks in Judea and Samaria since the start of 2026, with four Israelis murdered and 119 wounded. Over the first half of the year, the security establishment recorded 660 incidents of Jewish nationalist crime, in which six Palestinians were killed and 140 wounded. For the first time, the two columns look almost the same size, but only if you leave out the attacks that would have happened: in 2025 alone, the Shin Bet foiled 1,374 significant attacks, 717 of them shootings and 630 bombings. Statistics do not justify violence, and this government’s loss of control over the territory is a case of criminal negligence and moral indifference. But for all the talk of how settler violence radicalizes Palestinians, you might expect someone to spare a word for the Palestinian violence that radicalized the settlers. I do not expect Netanel Shukrun’s name to travel far. No matter how often Israelis point out that Jews in Judea and Samaria are in greater danger than Palestinians, sympathy only flows one way. The international press has settled on a story about the region, and a father murdered on his way home from a swim with his son is not part of it. If the killing is noticed at all, expect a long paragraph on settler violence. The implication, never stated outright, is that people like Netanel brought it on themselves. So it is worth asking plainly: what did Netanel Shukrun do to deserve death? Was it the swim, or that ancient offense of being a Jew in the wrong place? The liturgy of Yom Kippur is preoccupied with death. For 25 hours, Jews argue their case before God. They admit to arrogance, stubbornness and baseless hatred, and ask to be absolved and inscribed in the book of life for the coming year. Netanel Shukrun will not get a hearing. In the eyes of the world, he was sealed in the book of death for one unforgivable sin: he lived on the wrong side of the line.

Think about the message it would send that they'd even use lawfare to try and destroy the most moderate of Republicans
The leftist lawfare went after SUSAN COLLINS. Not the hardcore right — the most moderate elected Republican. I’m not commenting on the legality of this, whether it’s true, or anything like that. But, everything that is alleged here — the left does 100x. They’re not going after the left? Nope. They wanted to make an example of anyone with an R.

Paging Chief Justice John Roberts. Judicial insurrectionism and hyper-politicization is fast becoming his legacy.
I tried my first federal criminal case in the Eastern District of California in 1992. My most recent trial was in the District of Columbia in 2025. I've never tried a criminal case in a state court. For 32 years all my legal work has been in federal courts across the country. I've tried cases in front of probably 30 different federal judges, and handled cases that didn't get to trial in front of more than 50 overall. I've NEVER seen anything remotely like the interview done by the D.Minn. judges in the NY Times. If they don't respect the DOJ's likely coming effort for them to recuse in all immigration cases, it's worth a trip to the 8th Circuit for a writ of mandamus. They are free to express their opinions -- from the bench with Court in session and on the record. Who are they speaking to in the pages of the NYT, and what are they doing other than expressing a bias towards a litigant who regularly appears before them?

I'm just glad the Palestinian Authority is reformed and revitalized now
Replying to @HillelNeuer
@antonioguterres, Abbas justifies Hitler. Why was he even invited to the UN podium? Abbas: “They say Hitler killed the Jews for being Jews. Not true. It was because of their role in society—usury, money, and so on. This was not about antisemitism.”

Crazy how this keeps happening... Abdul El-Sayed, soon: "I'm not interested in discussing, and the people of Michigan don't care about, a single Egyptian comedian"
Abdul El-Sayed calls Bassem Youssef "hilarious" and a "fellow Egyptian." Mehdi Hasan calls Youssef, a contributor to @zeteo_news, a "good friend." Youssef called 9/11 and the Bondi Beach massacre Israeli "false flags" and used the anti-Semitic imagery (pictured below) to make his case. freebeacon.com/democrats/el-…

It APPEARS the left is gearing up to run an Ai-flavored “October surprise.” Is it? I don’t know. But there are ominous signs everywhere: a cadre who have long sought to eliminate American liberties coordinating to attack them once again, for leftist electoral gain. 2/
