First, the NYT is nothing but an American version of Pravda, or Izvestia, or Trud. Our media is a propaganda machine that would make Goebbels blush and it has thoroughly discredited itself many times over.

Second, what we're seeing today is non-kinetic (for now) warfare being waged against the United States by an unholy alliance of globalist billionaires, left wing foundations, and enemy foreign governments with the intent to foment civil unrest. Occupy Wall Street, the Antifa/George Floyd Riots, and now these Pro-Hamas/Anti-Israel attacks, you'll find the same agitators conducting them. The cause doesn't really matter so long as the result is civil unrest and a weakening of the system. Plus, they use our Constitutional protections against us to further their aim of overthrowing this Country and "fundamentally transforming" it into something else.

It's disgusting that our "leaders" either don't recognize the threat, or tacitly agree with the ends the violent activists seek.

A clear eyed analysis.

The protests are pressure on Israel to accept a ceasefire.

So no, the Alphabet Soup won’t be stopping it… no.

You don’t stop what you’re doing, and you certainly don’t investigate yourself.

Bingo! Good analysis.

By now, anyone who thinks that these demonstrations are anything other than anti-Israel or pro-Hamas isn''t neutral. And anyone who approves of either hasn't read the Hamas Covenant. If you are any of the above, you are, IMO, a nimrod.

You are100% correct, Martin. And I just learned something -- a definition of "nimrod" that I was unaware of previously. I always thought it referred to a hunter or outdoorsman. Now I have learned that it has another definition as well. I like it and thank you!

It especially fits these rascals. A play on words, if you will. Cheers. Great column.

Canceling my 7-year NYT subscription a few months ago was a very good decision. Thought I’d miss it for its news coverage but I don’t. I’m just happy not to be supporting it anymore.

The NYT de-legitimized itself. Just a leftist rag now.

You are correct, Kip. I subscribed only to see what the far left is saying these days. Some of the things that they write are beyond parody.

When one markets their political leadership as Messianic AND demanding our submission* to their "worthiness", they should not be surprised when their opponents point out where they fall short of that standard.

* that demand sets them apart from the hyperbolic standard-bearer of the opposition, who does not call for our submission, but may sound like he's campaigning for the office of Messiah ... when he is using hyperbole to cut through the Nice People™/Smart People™ facades of those actually striving for our submission.
