Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The Secretary of State admitted that Hamas uses their own people as human shields and doesn’t care about their well being, but fails to explain how Israel can minimize civilian casualties when their enemy wants to maximize them, much less how a “humanitarian pause” would do anything except help Hamas itself. “Hamas doesn’t care one… Continue reading Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

Springsteen’s “Rosalita” is the ultimate party song and the rare classic that cannot be overplayed

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The song exists entirely in the moment, purely for the unrestrained joy of what music can do for you in a single moment.  It’s a party in seven minutes, but most classics aren’t built this way. Thankfully, there is no shortage of classic songs in the rock and roll world.  The rare tracks that rise… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Rosalita” is the ultimate party song and the rare classic that cannot be overplayed

Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The Senator from Kentucky recently endorsed the idea that war is actually stimulus, bomb someone half a world away to make more bombs here at home, perhaps the most cynical and reprehensible framing in decades. In doing so, he’s opposing the newly minted Speaker of the House and taking other unwarranted shots at his fellow… Continue reading Mitch McConnell has officially lost it, slamming his own party while repeating Democrat talking points

Intersectionality leads directly to the hatred we see on college campuses and other progressive enclaves

Christian Twiste4 Comments

There seems to be a sense of shock and sadness at the sudden rise in hate, as if this were entirely unexpected, but there shouldn’t be.  This is the logical outcome of dividing the world into the oppressed who can do no wrong and the oppressors who are never right. “The rats need to be… Continue reading Intersectionality leads directly to the hatred we see on college campuses and other progressive enclaves

Israel: Ceasefires, humanitarian pauses, and related absurdities including when President Biden will be asked to condemn his own party

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The New York Times effectively calls for Hamas to apologize on national TV, world governmental bodies have no interest in justice and no means to deal with Hamas, the Biden Administration wants to pause the fighting to resupply the enemy, and no one in the mainstream media wants to talk about the antisemitism rampant in… Continue reading Israel: Ceasefires, humanitarian pauses, and related absurdities including when President Biden will be asked to condemn his own party

The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

There is a sense of watching some sad tragicomedy unfold, wondering what unexpected and unanticipated catastrophe will happen next, oblivious to the reality that – as at the start of World War I – we might literally be one bullet away from worldwide destruction.  On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his… Continue reading The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

There is little more fundamental a right than the ability of voters to listen to completely unfettered Presidential candidates before making their own personal choice.  In a sense, Judge Chutkan has abridged the rights of every American to decide – for themselves and in and of themselves – who to vote for and why. “Mr.… Continue reading Free speech dies in federal court when an out of control judge takes aim at former President Trump and every American citizen

The media provides material support to terrorists and should be investigated under the Patriot Act

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Multiple prominent media organizations including The New York Times knew exactly what they were doing when they broadcast Hamas’ claim that Israeli conducted an airstrike on a hospital. Lawyers have been jailed for passing on the communications of clients convicted of terrorism. The media should face the same standard. On October 17, multiple media organizations… Continue reading The media provides material support to terrorists and should be investigated under the Patriot Act

Israel: Get ready for the progressive backlash to go mainstream

Christian Twiste3 Comments

The over/under could be as little as a week, when all our claims of unity with Israel go up in the smoke.  Whatever President Biden may say today, he hasn’t the stomach to oppose key members of his party, his movement, and a global government apparatus that has long ago decided Israel is to blame. … Continue reading Israel: Get ready for the progressive backlash to go mainstream
