When in doubt, look to the Navy SEALs

Ideas have consequences. The ideas pushed on many college campuses have deadly consequences. Elias Rodriguez stands accused of murdering two Israeli Embassy staffers. The shooting happened recently outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The victims were Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a young couple who were about to be engaged. The propaganda press has largely moved on from the shooting because it doesn’t fit its preferred narrative. When Rodriguez was arrested, he shouted, “Free, free Palestine.” His singsong cadence sounded like it came straight from a college campus rally. So did the words in his alleged manifesto. He started by accusing Israel of committing “atrocities” against Palestine that “defy description and defy quantification.” He continued, “We who let this happen will never deserve the Palestinians’ forgiveness.” Rodriguez then admiringly cited Aaron Bushnell as one of those who “sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre.” In February, Bushnell, who served in the Air Force, set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. Rodriguez lamented America’s ongoing support for Israel. He then laid out his justification for randomly murdering people associated with Israel. “Humanity doesn’t exempt one from accountability,” he wrote. He called his action “morally justified.” “I am glad that today at least there are many Americans for which the action will be highly legible and, in some funny way, the only sane thing to do,” he concluded. It can be tempting to dismiss his writing as the rantings of a lunatic. But that would be a mistake. Most haven’t resorted to violence, but college campuses are filled with students who agree with the philosophy he espoused. That’s because many colleges and high schools have indoctrinated students in critical theory. It divides the world into victims and victimizers. The success of the supposedly oppressors doesn’t come from their own choices but from how they exploit the oppressed. This theory contends that what makes one moral isn’t individual choices, but group identity. Therefore, it holds, the victim group is justified in doing whatever is necessary to overthrow the supposed victimizers. There are many ways to divide people into groups. For instance, critical race theory focuses on race. Other categories could include sex, wealth, or national origin. Intersectionality is the Left’s attempt to rank and prioritize victim groups. You have just witnessed the terrifying implications of this worldview. Rodriguez believed he was morally justified in murdering two strangers because of their group identity. After the Oct. 7 massacre, dozens of student organizations at Harvard signed onto a statement asserting they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” This is why it isn’t enough to point out how people like Rodriguez are wrong on the facts. And they are. Hamas gleefully murders Israeli women and children. Hamas hides behind women and children in the Gaza Strip because it knows Israel values protecting innocent life. If Hamas could kill every Jew in Israel, it would. Israel had the ability to kill every Muslim in the Gaza Strip, but it didn’t. Instead, it sent in food aid—which Hamas systematically stole to fund its war efforts. After a U.S.-backed group started delivering aid directly to Gaza civilians, Hamas threatened those who took the free food. You have to point out the folly—and immorality—of judging people based on group identity instead of individual choices. That’s much harder to do when taxpayers subsidize a higher education system that brainwashes students in critical race theory and enforces it through DEI bureaucracies. You may not take chants of “Free Palestine” and “Globalize the Intifada” seriously. But when someone does, the results are often deadly.

When George Floyd died in 2020, the country—and even the world—erupted in both a figurative and literal explosion, as we were forced by every element of our society to have a nationwide reckoning on the subject of racism. George Floyd, we were told—no, ordered—was a symbol of the conscious, unconscious, implicit, explicit, institutional, systemic and systematic racism that continued to corrupt our civilization. It was time for a national conversation on race. No ifs, ands or buts. Black Lives Matter. When a gunman went on a rampage through Atlanta in 2021, killing eight people at three massage parlors, there was a widespread declaration that anti-Asian hate was out of control, particularly in the aftermath of COVID-19 when it was racist to suggest that communist China was to blame for the virus they unleashed on the world. It was time for a national conversation on anti-Asian hate. No ifs, ands or buts. Asian Lives Matter. In the aftermath of Oct. 7, 2023, shameless and rampant antisemitism has exploded across the country. Chants of “resistance by any means necessary,” “from the river to the sea” and “globalize the intifada” have inevitably been obeyed. In May, a Jewish woman and her Christian soon-to-be-fiance were executed in Washington, D.C. In June, Jews were burned alive in Boulder, Colorado. In April, an arsonist attempted to murder Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family after setting the governor’s mansion ablaze. In November 2023, a Jewish man was killed in Thousand Oaks, California, after being hit in the head with a megaphone. In October 2023, a Jewish community leader was stabbed to death in Detroit. In January 2022, Jews were taken hostage in a Texas synagogue. Every year, every month, every day, there are brazen acts of antisemitism committed across the country, let alone throughout Europe and the Muslim world. In the United States, Jews remain the most-targeted religious group, according to FBI hate crime data, all while antisemitism rises year-on-year. In 2024, there was a 5% increase of antisemitic incidents in 2024 compared to 2023, and a 140% increase in 2023 compared to 2022. Where is our national conversation? Where are the chants of Jewish Lives Matter, rather than the sudden renovation of “All Lives Matter”? Why can we not condemn antisemitism while also condemning so-called Islamophobia (real or imaginary), particularly when many antisemitic attacks are carried out by Muslims? Where is the usual brutal honesty regarding the race and religion of the perpetrators when the victims are Jews? Where is the national outcry against specific hate? Where is the condemnation of those who fuel the fires of this hate? When victims are black or Asian or Hispanic or Muslim, people (correctly) have no qualms condemning violent hate, and the media won’t hesitate for a moment to delve into the identity or background of the perpetrator. But when Jews are victimized again and again and again? Well, they’re Jews after all, so there must be an explanation. Sure, they were killed by someone screaming, “Free Palestine,” but perhaps the national conversation needs to be on the evil of Israel? Calling for the death of Jews is all about context, as the heads of our elite institutions would say. Give me a break. COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Schumer: Big Beautiful Bill Will Kill Us All

Twenty-five times more powerful than the most energetic supernova ever observed, Gaia18cdj easily outshone every star in its host galaxy.

The Democratic Party released its platform last weekend, not as a document, but as a screenshot — a single, jarring image that says more than any press release ever could. In it, a shirtless Mohamed Sabry Soliman, fresh off allegedly torching elderly Jewish demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, clutches two Molotov cocktails. Behind him, a transgender Pride flag drapes a government building. He allegedly screams for a “free Palestine” and to “end Zionists.” We made our peace with this madness. But some of us are done playing along. That’s not just a snapshot. It’s a gravestone for our civilization. I'm not joking. And don’t pretend the trans Pride flag in the background is incidental. It’s the whole point. Someone always rules. Something always gets worshipped. The lie was that we could scrap the cross and the commandments and wind up with a neutral, secular utopia. That was never true. The trans flag over a bomb-thrower is the natural endpoint of a society that replaced truth with affirmation and faith with feelings. It is an image of what defeat looks like. A nation that enshrines delusion in law inevitably treats its faithful as conquered. In a state where officials legislate flat-earth theology in the name of gender, Christians no longer govern — they kneel. We surrendered the most powerful weapon ever given to man — the way, the truth, and the life — and, drunk on comfort and cowardice, we let Pride Month replace the holy seasons. We made our peace with this madness. But some of us are done playing along. Outside the fever swamps of Colorado, Disney, and your local high school track meet, people are waking up. They’re tired of the forced compliance, the relentless gaslighting, the inversion of every value that built this country. They want their culture back. That’s why June matters. Don’t let the enemy entrench. Not this time. We must go straight for the six-color thermal exhaust port. Every trans flag hanging from a taxpayer-funded pole is a false idol — and they all must come down. If we’re ever going to reclaim our freedom and, frankly, our manhood, we must reject the spirit of the age that neuters fathers, silences citizens, and disarms protectors. And don’t get it twisted: Every generation of American men before World War II would have reacted very differently to a Muslim foreign national throwing firebombs on U.S. soil. That’s exactly why no one ever captured an image like it before. It would have been unthinkable. So I’ll ask the Connery question: What are you prepared to do? Will you stay conquered? Or will you raise the banner of your faith over the buildings your ancestors built, defended, and died for? Will you lift high the cross? No, we won’t impose tyranny — we’re not our enemies. But don’t mistake our restraint for softness. We will not give another inch. No more filth in our schools. No more grooming in our curriculum. Our children are off-limits. Test that line, and you’ll find it drawn in law, not chalk. Understand this clearly: The Muslim firebomber and the trans-flag crusader aren’t opponents. They’re allies. You think they contradict each other? They don’t. They converge. That’s how you get “Queers for Palestine.” It isn’t satire. It’s hell. And it’s coming for your kids. RELATED: Academia fuels the fire that torched Jewish grandmothers in Boulder Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D)Photo by CHET STRANGE/AFP via Getty Images We’re right back in Eden, listening to the same whispered question: Did God really say? Let’s answer plainly. Yes, He did. He said male and female. He said the land belongs to Israel. He said sin destroys. But if you believe in “gender identity” and “Palestine,” then congratulations — you’ve swallowed two of the most diabolical lies ever devised. This didn’t start with Soliman. It started when we treated the 9/11 attacks as a reason to import more people from the cultures that cheered when the Twin Towers fell. That’s not tolerance. That’s suicide. But there’s another way. And it begins with learning to say no again. To wicked ideas. To wicked behavior. To wicked systems. This fallen world offers endless invitations to destruction. We need the courage — and the clarity — to refuse. No, it won’t be easy. But it’s necessary. It’s the same principle whether you’re trying to lose 100 pounds as I’ve done, quit porn, or crawl out of debt: Nothing changes until you hate your current condition more than you fear the pain it takes to change it. That’s the moment everything begins to shift. And if you refuse to shift now? If you stay seated, silent, and compliant? Then God help the next generation for what you’re about to leave them.

For years, the public has known President Joe Biden’s FBI sent spies to keep tabs on traditional Catholics. At the time of those whistleblower revelations, it caused a good deal of righteous anger, but both Director Christopher Wray and the Democrats claimed it was an isolated incident that was completely against the bureau’s policies. Well, that turns out to be untrue: The FBI memo casting traditionally minded Catholics as dangerous was shared far and wide — to more than 1,000 agents. This confirmation fits neatly with the Democrats’ increasing suspicion of faithful Christians. And more than that: They’re entirely right to be suspicious. Faithful Catholics are not the friends of the Democrats’ agenda. And the reason doesn’t lie naturally with the Church, but with those who oppose its teachings. That’s not to say it’s legal, of course — or moral, or a good place for the Democrats to be. But game recognizes game, and when you’re pushing the politics the party has openly and aggressively pushed for nearly 20 years now, the tension is natural. The Democrats’ tension with the Church and its affiliates spilled into the open years ago. President Barack Obama sued the Little Sisters of the Poor over abortion. The late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) attacked now-Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s faith during her confirmation hearings, saying “ the dogma lives loudly within you” as if this was an impediment to being a judge. Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and future Vice President Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) denounced now-federal Judge Brian Buescher’s membership in the Knights of Columbus during his own confirmation process, calling it an “extremist” organization. Hirono even said he’d have to resign his membership to be considered — a blatant contradiction of the constitutional protection against religious tests for holding government office. All these and more are shocking to see in a free and ostensibly Christian society, but they also make sense. While the teachings of the Catholic Church (and more specifically, the policy preferences of many of its older American bishops) align with Democrats on several issues, such as the humane treatment of refugees, there are many more places where there is no alignment at all. The Church represents the eternal. It represents divine truths, artistic beauty, freely given charity, ancient tradition, the sanctity of life and God’s inviolable creation, and salvation through faith, works, and obedience to the word of God. These things stand in direct conflict with a political movement committed to changing realities, brutalism and modern art, government “charity,” shouting your abortion, choosing your gender, “the life of Julia,” and the rejection of God’s role in our world. This is in part why active Catholicism is gaining in popularity, not just in the United States but in France and England, too. The massive contrast between the Holy Roman Church and the ugly, militant secularism and materialism of Western liberalism couldn’t be starker. In a political world with ever-shifting truths and foundations, the Rock of St. Peter is the ultimate safe harbor. This is why you’re seeing this more regarding Catholicism than the other Christian faiths. Increasingly secular mainline Protestant churches aside, even conservative Protestant faiths have not seen the same booms in adults seeking that harbor. It’s the same reason that despite the United States’ Protestant roots and nature, Hollywood has nearly always portrayed Christian religion as Catholic — its structure, symbols, traditions, and inflexible nature are unmatched by any Christian faith remotely its size for their public association with the ancient. They don’t even need to be conducting exorcisms or fighting Satan! To put it plainly, even the charisma and charm of a young, high-top-sneakered evangelist on a megachurch stage is no match for the flex of old cardinals smoking cigarettes on the street. That’s why movie directors use this image over and over again. None of this justifies exclusion from government office, let alone surveillance from domestic intelligence services. But the Democrats and secularists are correct: Faithful Catholics are not the friends of their new agenda. And the reason doesn't lie naturally with the Church, but with those who oppose its teachings.

Texas conservatives have long trusted the Republican Party to stand firm on core values: secure borders, parental rights, the Second Amendment, and limited government. We’ve delivered them power in Austin. But too many GOP lawmakers now serve corporate donors and media elites — not the grassroots conservatives who put them in office. Texas may be a red state, but the last legislative session told a different story. Thirty-six Republican state lawmakers joined Democrats on critical votes that gutted conservative priorities. They campaign as fighters and govern as cowards — folding at the first whiff of media pressure or lobbyist resistance. That’s not leadership. That’s betrayal. When Texas Republicans falter, they don’t just fail their state — they fail the country. Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star generates headlines, but the border remains wide open. Despite the efforts of the Trump administration, cartels continue to move drugs and people freely across Texas soil. Ranchers continue to live in fear. Families bury loved ones lost to fentanyl. Texans demand action, but Austin delivers press releases. Yes, regardless of the federal government’s efforts — and the Trump administration is certainly a refreshing change from Joe Biden —Texas has the constitutional authority to act. Where’s the declaration of invasion? Where’s the full mobilization? Leadership doesn’t mean deploying troops for photo ops. It means taking responsibility and enforcing the law. It isn’t ‘culture war nonsense’ Parents across Texas want transparency. They want to know what their kids are learning, reading, and hearing in school — especially on issues of sex and gender. Some lawmakers have stepped up. Too many haven’t. They call it “culture war nonsense” while siding with school boards and bureaucrats who treat parents as threats. Legislators who can’t stop minors from receiving irreversible medical procedures without parental consent don’t belong in conservative office. That’s not compromise. That’s surrender. Don’t dismiss the Second Amendment After every shooting, moderate Republicans float “reasonable restrictions.” But the Constitution doesn’t hedge. It says “shall not be infringed.” Texans don’t want red-flag laws. They want their rights respected. When figures like Rep. Dan Crenshaw entertain policies that chip away at due process, they don’t look pragmatic. They look weak. If you won’t defend gun rights without apology, step aside. Meme bills and muzzled dissent Texas Republicans now flirt with speech regulation. One bill would have required registration for anonymous political memes — all in the name of fighting “disinformation.” That’s not governance. That’s control. Conservatives believe in protecting anonymous speech because we remember what it’s for: dissent. Critique. Satire. These aren’t bugs in the system — they’re essential features. If Austin lawmakers wants to mirror D.C.'s, voters will start treating them the same way. Contempt for the base The real issue isn’t just policy. It’s culture. The GOP establishment in Austin feels more at home with lobbyists than with the voters who knock doors and fund their campaigns. Primary challengers get dismissed as “fringe,” even as the grassroots base grows louder — and angrier. RELATED: Red state, blue ballot: Dems use direct democracy to flip states Photo by Ben Sklar/Getty Images Calls for term limits are rising. The appetite for bold reform is real. If Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) can deliver conservative wins in Florida, why can’t Texas? Why are we still making excuses? This isn’t just about Texas Texas shapes the national Republican Party. It drives presidential races and defines what the GOP stands for. When Texas Republicans falter, they don’t just fail their state — they fail the country. As state Rep. Brian Harrison has shown, the last legislative session exposed serious cracks in the GOP foundation. Conservatives must respond: organize locally, show up at the Capitol, primary the cowards. An “R” isn’t a free pass. If you govern like a Democrat, expect to be treated like one. Secure the border. Empower parents. Protect the Second Amendment. Defend free speech. Or get out of the way. Texas doesn’t need more Republicans. It needs better ones.
