When they tell you who they are, believe them. A year ago, while running for NY mayor, Zohran Mamdani marked October 7 by accusing Israel of a “genocidal war” and the U.S. government of being “complicit through it all.” Today, on the third anniversary, London’s mayor Sadiq Khan marked the day by talking about “the reprehensible actions of the Israeli government” and “a moment to reflect on the unfathomable suffering and killing of Palestinians over the last three years, both in Gaza and in the West Bank.” Both opened with a line about Hamas. Both turned the anniversary of the massacre into an indictment of Israel. Different words, same instinct: on the one day the world should stop and mourn the victims of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, they reached for Gaza and the most inflammatory rhetoric.

War crimes for Hamas. Genocide for Israel. That is the inversion of truth that @NYCMayor Mamdani chose to mark the third anniversary of October 7. His commentary is one of the most reckless I have seen from an elected official. What a shame that the city I called home for 25 years is now led by someone who is using his office to spread disinformation and hate. Look at his post. One paragraph for the 1,100 Israelis killed and 251 abducted. Then the pivot: "The suffering did not begin nor end that day," followed by "the Israeli government's devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza." That is exactly the selective application of a legal standard I wrote about this week, delivered by the mayor of the largest Jewish city outside Israel, on the anniversary itself. Genocide is not a synonym for a terrible war. It is a specific crime with two elements: prohibited acts, and a special intent to destroy a protected group as such. International courts set that bar high on purpose. The intent has to be the only reasonable inference from the conduct. I laid out why Gaza doesn't clear it in "Genocide for Dummies," and no court has found that it does. The mayor never mentions the standard. He either does not know it or he doesn't care since it would otherwise ruin the tale he prefers spinning. Then his numbers. "More than 74,000 Palestinians." That figure comes from the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which does not separate combatants from civilians. He doesn't tell you that either. What else is missing? Israel's polio vaccination campaign. The humanitarian pauses and aid corridors. The evacuation warnings. And the fact that Hamas fought from inside and under hospitals, schools, and mosques, the very places he invokes. Conduct matters in a genocide analysis, because conduct inconsistent with an intent to destroy undercuts the rhetoric. A statement that includes only the evidence pointing one way isn't a moral reckoning. It's an inflammatory polemic. Context matters here, too. The mayor has said Israel has a right to exist "as a state with equal rights," and has declined to say it has the right to exist as a Jewish state. In 2025 he repeatedly declined to condemn "globalize the intifada." Those aren't footnotes when the same man is now using the weight of his office to label one side's war a genocide. I just spent a month applying the same legal test to October 7. The case is stronger than most people expect. None of the institutions that use the word "genocide" for Israel has asked the question about Hamas. Neither has the mayor. He prefers just stepping on the commemoration for the October 7 victims by repeating his fake 'genocide' charge.

I don’t understand this trend towards socialism. It seems many people today resent the rich and want everything given to them free. When I was growing up in East Texas we were very poor, we didn’t even have indoor plumbing. My grandmother and I walked 3 miles on a dirt road to get to the store. When my uncle would come into town we would all pile in his old car and drive to town to see the beautiful houses where the wealthy people lived. We didn’t resent them and want them to give us their money, we wanted to grow up and find a way to be successful. Isn’t that what the American dream is all about? Please think very carefully when you vote this election. We don’t want to end up like Venezuela or Cuba or so many other countries that chose socialism.

🚨 RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV 🚨 Americans work 40 years. They retire. Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month. Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month. Marco Rubio said it out loud. “So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.” You paid in. They landed. They beat your check. That’s not compassion. That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.

Did you see a lithium battery in a flood-damaged golf cart exploded Thursday morning in West Wildwood, setting off a fire that burned homes on Maple Avenue!? And these Dem NJ politicians want to force these battery operated cars on us everywhere still Officials say the cart had been exposed to saltwater in last week’s nor’easter. The homeowners weren’t there. Their dog died in the fire. Fire crews say this is one of about a dozen battery fires since the flooding, and they’re warning people not to use or charge golf carts, e-bikes, scooters, or other devices that got wet fox29.com/video/fmc-ex3gl9fn…

One of the strangest things about classical education is how extraordinary basic competence can seem today. A 16-year-old who can tackle a challenging book, write clearly, do calculations without a device, memorize poetry, and debate calmly appears remarkable—even though these abilities were never meant to be remarkable. Basic competence can now seem almost revolutionary. Abilities once considered essential—reading challenging books, writing clearly, doing mental math, memorizing poetry, and debating with logic rather than emotion—can make a 16-year-old appear unusually accomplished. These skills were never intended to be exceptional, yet critics argue they have become less common amid changes in modern education and growing reliance on technology and AI.

But it couldn’t be social contagion, folks. It’s just that young people, especially autistic, gay and mentally ill ones, are finally free to be their authentic selves. The sudden explosion of young women who want to cut off their healthy breasts and take testosterone? Well, it’s absolutely not the newest form of self-harm, to which troubled adolescent girls are provably prone, ok? It’s not a consequence of the commonplace fear of becoming an adult woman, with all that that entails. No, there’s nothing to worry about there. The possibility of regret? Naturally, we don’t let minors get tattoos or own guns or vote, because that would be ridiculous, but if they want irreversible surgeries and drug treatments, they must be given them, and everyone around them must immediately agree they are now the opposite sex. That’s called being kind. And the mounting numbers of detransitioners? They were never trans, obviously, and should be mercilessly attacked, especially if they now say they were vulnerable and in a friendship group, online or off, dominated by trans identities, where transitioning was presented as a way to resolve all their social and emotional difficulties. (I have the emails). No, there’s nothing whatsoever to see here. Keep justifying it, keep cheering it on, keep insisting that the doctors and drug companies making serious money out of it all are acting with the purest of motives. Answer every reasonable question with an accusation of hatred and bigotry. Dispel every qualm of conscience with an activist-approved talking point. Reassure yourself that everyone on your dinner party circuit agrees with you. And when, in years to come, we’re all looking back on graphs like this, be proud that you did your bit to monster whistleblowers, parrot unevidenced claims and create the climate of fear that allowed the worst medical scandal in a century to take place.

I have just been reading about Turkish comedian @idgoktas who was imprisoned in Turkey for making a joke about @RTErdogan and I wonder why not one British comedian has posted about it? Imagine @jimmycarr being chucked into prison for a joke. Then we have @selin_berghan a gay women who is currently in jail for god knows what. What is happening in Turkey is alarming and we must give these people a voice!

The transitions between each section are incredibly smooth. It’s so good that I got completely absorbed in this arrangement and almost forgot about the original soundtrack.
