Conservative: Reality Confronts Anti-Zionists
asserted
Reality → confront → Zionists
“Every facet of the ‘genocide’ accusation against Israel has fallen apart,” thunders Commentary’s Seth Mandel, including “claims of genocide, deliberate starvation/famine, mass targeting of journalists, and others.
uncertain
Mandel → fall → journalists
It was all “a global propaganda scheme on a scale we’ve probably never seen before,” as the “villainous portrayal of Israel during the war was exactly backwards.”
Beware: “Acclimating to reality will be disorienting” for the “Hamasnik cult” as it awakens, for “even the purveyors of the Big Lie are finding” facts “difficult to avoid.”
asserted
purveyors → see → facts
The word “genocide” usefully “stopped you from having to defend your worldview.”
asserted
genocide → stop → worldview
Now that “reality is steadily intruding” on mythology, “adherents of the anti-Israel propaganda cult” will let us know if “we all can in fact inhabit reality together.”
asserted
we → intrude → reality
From the right: Dems’ Damning ‘Affordability’ Record
asserted
Dems → damn → Record
Democrats are out to “capitalize on voter frustration with inflation by running on ‘affordability,’” note The Wall Street Journal’s editors, yet inflation rose an “average 5% a year during the Biden years,” significantly higher than in either Trump term.
asserted
inflation → capitalize → term
Indeed, even “as inflation heated up in 2021, Democrats urged the central bank not to raise interest rates.”
asserted
Democrats → heat → rates
And now Dems “want to raise the $7.25 an hour federal minimum wage to $15 or higher,” though “businesses pass on higher wage costs to consumers to the extent they can.”
asserted
they → want → extent
Recall, too, that Democrats said Obamacare “would reduce healthcare costs”; instead, “premiums for employer plans have roughly doubled since 2010.”
asserted
premiums → recall → 2010
Hoping life will be “more affordable under their policies is indulging hope over expensive experience.”
asserted
life → hop → experience
Female athlete: We Must Stand Up for Each Other
When her “softball team lost in the semifinals of the Minnesota state tournament,” Kendall Kotzmacher recalls at Fox News, she felt “devastated, confused, and hurt” — because “the opposing team was allowed to put a boy in as the pitcher on a girls’ team”; that also let it go on “to win the girls’ high school state championship.”
asserted
it → stand → championship
The “consequences” of letting boys play in girls’ sports “didn’t stop with [her] team,” because “at the elite level, one tournament can change a player’s future.”
asserted
tournament → let → future
Though lectured in college that “a person could identify as another gender by adopting stereotypes associated with the opposite sex,” she now understands that “when adults fail to protect girls, girls can still find the courage to protect one another.”
uncertain
girls → lecture → one
UN watch: Nix This Awful Sec-Gen Candidate
The straw poll showing Guyana’s ambassador to the UN, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, coming in close second for UN secretary-general “should ring alarm bells in Washington,” warn Ben Cohen & Richard Goldberg at The Hill.
asserted
Cohen → nix → Hill
“Although Guyana is a U.S. ally, Rodrigues-Birkett’s positions are more aligned with the Chinese Communist Party, the Cuban regime and Hamas.”
asserted
positions → align → Party
E.g., as “the U.S. is attempting to maintain dominance in the AI sector,” she “has endorsed China’s newly launched World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization.”
asserted
she → attempt → Organization
Washington calls for the “disarmament of Hamas”; she accuses “Jerusalem of executing a ‘veritable genocide.’”
asserted
she → call → genocide
The US sees Cuba as “a totalitarian regime”; she says Havana’s “been kind to everyone.”
asserted
Havana → see → everyone
The United States has the power to “veto a recommendation to elect Rodrigues-Birkett.
asserted
States → have → Birkett
It should do so, even if that comes with protests back in Guyana.”
asserted
that → do → Guyana
Border beat: ICE Proves ‘Quiet’ Does the Job
“This summer ICE racked up the largest numbers of arrests of illegal aliens ever recorded” — and did it “without the theatrics” of Kristin Noem’s Minneapolis mess, cheers Mark Krikorian at Commonplace.
asserted
Krikorian → prove → Commonplace
While the left “howls” that those deported are “not exclusively the ‘worst of the worst,’” recent data “suggest that about half those arrested by ICE in July were convicted criminals” or facing pending charges.
asserted
those → howl → charges
Yet the administration should “make clear that ordinary illegals have to be removed” too, because “there’s a reason we have limits on immigration.”
asserted
we → make → immigration
Then again, “the lowest-key way of shrinking the illegal population is self-deportation,” where “ICE isn’t involved at all.”
asserted
ICE → shrink → population
