The First Amendment’s Protection of ‘Hate Speech’ Is Not ‘Despicable’

“Despicable”? But it’s . . . true. That “hate speech is free speech” is not an “opinion”; it’s a fact. That’s how the First Amendment works. There is, in American law, no such thing as “hate speech.” Subjectively, one might consider some of that speech to be “hateful.” Sometimes, it is. It’s also free speech. Click for Full Text!

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took his expression of support for the government of Israel to the maximum level in a Wednesday Twitter post. After criticizing the administration of President Joe Biden for “threatening Israel with the ending of the special relationship between” Israel and the United States, Kennedy declared, “As President, my support of Israel will be unconditional.” Looking through the wave of negative comments and quote tweets that quickly appeared in response to Kennedy’s post, it looks like Kennedy took in the tweet a position that could be destructive to the base that has developed for his campaign over the last few ...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is defending former President Trump for his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, saying Trump had encouraged a peaceful protest that day — but did nothing to merit the criminal charges the Justice Department (DOJ) is said to be weighing. “I don’t see how he could be found criminally responsible,” McCarthy told reporters Wednesday in the Capitol. “What criminal activity did he do? He told people to be peaceful.” Click for Full Text!

The U.S. Senate will be quite busy over the next two weeks as they negotiate the nearly 670 proposed amendments to the chamber’s version of the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). No one knows for sure which amendments will reach the Senate floor for debate, but one can expect several key amendments on the Department of Defense’s (DOD) abortion travel policy. That policy was targeted in the House version of the NDAA that passed last Friday covering “woke” policies such as diversity, equity, and inclusion; critical race theory; and transgender healthcare.

Washington lawmaker has claimed that an 18-year-old female recruit was forced by the US military to shower with biological males who were allegedly in the process of transitioning to women. The young woman, who was also forced to sleep between two biological males, considered quitting over the issue and declined to speak out publicly for fear of ruining her military career, US Senator Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota) said on Monday in a Fox News interview. The lawmaker added that he was informed of the incident by the attorney general of the South Dakota National Guard. Click for Full Text!

Would Ukraine’s Formal Membership in NATO Really Matter?

During the prelude to the NATO summit in Vilnius, there was extensive speculation about whether Ukraine would be given a clear path to membership in the alliance, with a specific timeline. Much to the disappointment of Ukraine’s government and its ardent supporters in the West, NATO leaders opted for a more limited commitment. In the final communique, summit participants stated that they would “continue to support and review Ukraine’s progress on interoperability as well as additional democratic and security sector reforms that are required.” They also affirmed that the alliance “will support Ukraine in making these reforms on its path towards future ...

The Biden administration is expected to announce a new $1.3 billion weapons package for Ukraine in the coming days, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing two unnamed US officials. The funds will be provided through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows the US to purchase weapons for Ukraine as opposed to shipping them directly from US military stockpiles, which is the main way the US has been arming Kyiv.

Disney poured some $295 million into Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but the company will apparently scrape to make a profit off the fifth and poorest-performing film of the franchise. Meanwhile, in an unexpected turn of events, the low-budget action flick Sound of Freedom, starring Jim Caviezel (who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ), overtook Indiana Jones in the box-office stakes on the day of Sound of Freedom’s release.

The Media’s Response to the Affirmative Action Ruling

The Supreme Court has ruled that race-based affirmative action is unconstitutional. As could be expected, the caterwauling from the mainstream media was immediate and voluminous. At MSNBC, I found a stellar example of what promises to be a mother lode of dishonest and uninformed commentary on the topic. On her show The Reid Out, Joy Reid started her segment on the case by visually feigning being in fear for her very life as she talked lugubriously of the “bitter fruit” these “conservative justices have forced down our throats.” Click for Full Text!

In an interview with Schmuley Boteach this week, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. addressed the absurd claim being thrown around that Kennedy is antisemitic because he discussed a differing susceptibility to coronavirus generally for people of several different ethnicities, including ashkenazi. Welcome to the club, Kennedy. Antisemitism allegations are routinely launched against political commentators, candidates, and office holders, including Donald Trump , who are perceived as threatening the DC gravy train, Indeed, people looking for a politician who is a threat to the expanding power of the US government at the expense of liberty and peace, may look to the ...
NATO Is a Warfare Alliance, Not a Force for Global Peace or Stability

At his speech during the NATO Summit in Lithuania, President Biden called the U.S. and Europe “anchors for global security” when in reality there are no anchors during this increasingly dangerous and polarized time of never-ending war in Europe. Our NATO allies are not, as Biden would suggest, anchors in a turbulent sea of demons but rather catalysts stirring the cauldron of war on behalf of U.S. empire. The instability of the NATO alliance was evident in the controversy over the key issue of Ukraine membership. Biden and his administration tried to work both sides of the street. On the one hand, Biden insisted that “Ukraine’s future lies at NATO.” But then the ...

Amidst the dross that clutters the New York Times op-ed page on most days, glimmers of enlightenment occasionally appear. A recent guest column by Grey Anderson and Thomas Meaney offers a case in point. “NATO Isn’t What It Says It Is,” declares the headline. Contrary to the claims of its architects and defenders, Anderson and Meaney argue persuasively that the central purpose of the alliance from its founding was not to deter aggression from the East and certainly not to promote democracy, but to “bind Western Europe to a far vaster project of a U.S.- led world order.” In return for Cold War-era security guarantees, America’s European allies offered deference ...

The Biden administration is quietly debating whether or not to provide Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), which have a range of up to 190 miles, The New York Times reported Tuesday. The Wall Street Journal reported at the end of June that the administration was moving closer to providing Ukraine with ATACMS, which would mark a significant escalation of US military aid. But so far, no decision has been made, and some US officials don’t think the Pentagon has enough ATACMS to spare for Ukraine. Click for Full Text!

Sergey Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), confirmed on Wednesday that he spoke with CIA Director William Burns after Yevgeny Prigozhin’s short-lived rebellion. US media outlets reported at the end of June that Burns phoned Naryshkin to assure that the US was not involved in Prigozhin’s mutiny. But Naryshkin said the two spy chiefs mostly discussed Ukraine.
