"Last night, a terrorist shot at a bus in Jerusalem wounding 8 people, including a pregnant 30-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man who are in critical care. We pray for their full recovery," Israel's Foreign Ministry announced.


	According<a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-714649"> to news reports,</a> the baby was delivered by emergency C-section while the mother is in "serious but stable condition - in a shooting attack targeting a bus near King David's Tomb near the Western Wall on Saturday night."&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		According to the report, four of the injured belonged to the same family and are part of the hasidic Satmar sect and were visiting Israel from Williamsburg, New York.&nbsp;

	
		A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Jerusalem confirmed that US citizens were among the victims of the terrorist attack, but had no further comment on the matter.

	
		Yosef Chaim HaCohen, a paramedic with United Hatzalah who lives near the scene, stated, “I parked the car near the house and heard gunshots and screams. The neighbors ran to me and shouted 'terror attack.’”

	
		MDA paramedic Shimi Grossman said: “This was a bus that left the Western Wall with worshipers heading toward the city. According to a passerby, a terrorist began to shoot indiscriminately toward the bus. When I arrived there was a great commotion, people ran in panic, MDA teams treated and evacuated a 30-year-old man and a 45-year-old man in serious condition, a 30-year-old woman in serious condition, a young man about 20 years old in moderate condition and 4 injured in mild condition.”

	The&nbsp;Islamic terrorist, allegedly a man named Amir Sidawi, has been <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/suspected-terrorist-in-jerusalem-shooting-turns-himself-into-police/">arrested</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		Those wounded in the attack included a 35-year-old pregnant woman who was shot while sitting in a nearby car, Hebrew media reported. Her abdomenal injury was described by doctors as “complex” and her life was said to be in danger. Shaare Zedek hospital said she had undergone an emergency delivery and that the newborn was in serious but stable condition.

	
		&nbsp;The family’s father was said to be in serious condition, sedated and on a respirator, while the mother was in moderate condition.

	
		“It was a very difficult scene, the blood-soaked&nbsp;tzitzit&nbsp;and abandoned baby stroller will remain in my memory for many years,” said Moshe Levy from the United Hatzalah emergency organization, referring to knotted ritual fringes worn by observant Jews.

	
		The alleged perpetrator had reportedly waited for the bus’s arrival and fired the shots while passengers were boarding, then fled on foot to Silwan.

	
		“The bus was full, jam-packed. I stopped at a bus stop at King David’s Tomb and then I heard gunfire, people started yelling, people were hurt inside the bus,” the bus driver, Daniel Kanievsky, said.

	
		The driver said he had wanted to drive away but couldn’t because passengers were helping a wheelchair-bound woman board the bus, with the lowered ramp blocking the door from closing.

From a New York Times article trying to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/13/trump-mar-a-lago-search/">justify this farce</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		In the spring of 2021, the National Archives and Records Administration, the government agency charged by law with maintaining the papers of former presidents, alerted Trump’s team to a problem. In going through materials transferred from the White House in the chaotic final days of Trump’s presidency, officials had noticed that certain high-profile documents were missing. Trump’s correspondence with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that he had termed “love letters.” A National Weather Service map of Hurricane Dorian, which Trump had famously marked up with a black Sharpie pen to extend to Alabama.

	
		Under the Presidential Records Act, the items belonged to the American people. The Archives asked for them back.
</blockquote>


	We know who runs the National Archives and what they want.


	The&nbsp;National Weather Service map of Hurricane Dorian is one of those things that any proper lefty will recognize but that most conservatives have never heard of. It was one of the dumb TDS&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/05/donald-trump-hurricane-dorian-alabama-1482815">obsessions</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		President Donald Trump has been widely ridiculed for insisting that Alabama faced a grave threat from Hurricane Dorian and for even showing off a&nbsp;Sharpie-doctored map&nbsp;that added the state to the storm’s potential path of destruction.

	
		But was he really wrong?
</blockquote>


	The damn map wouldn't be a priority for anyone except lefties. While foreign correspondence should be maintained, it doesn't justify this level of harassment.

<blockquote>
	
		On Jan. 17 of this year, Trump relented, allowing a contractor for the Archives to load up 15 boxes at Mar-a-Lago and truck them north to a facility in Maryland. The boxes contained some of the notable items of the Trump presidency that Archives officials had sought.
</blockquote>


	As it turned out, this was a mistake because it provided the "resistance" with the materials for planning this raid.

<blockquote>
	
		But as Archives officials sifted through the recovered documents, they began to suspect some records were still missing.&nbsp;They also realized some of the returned material was clearly classified, including highly sensitive signals intelligence — intercepted electronic communications such as emails and phone calls of foreign leaders.

	
		...&nbsp;By February, Archives officials had formally referred the matter to the Justice Department.
</blockquote>


	This was a month later.

<blockquote>
	
		“He gets his back up every time they asked him for something,” said another Trump adviser. “He didn’t give them the documents because he didn’t want to. He doesn’t like those people. He doesn’t trust those people.”
</blockquote>


	Can't imagine why.

<blockquote>
	
		In early June, a small knot of federal investigators arrived at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the document issue with Trump’s lawyers. It was clear they believed their mission was serious — the team was headed by Jay Bratt, chief of counterintelligence and export control, the division of the Justice Department that leads investigations into leaks of government secrets.

	
		Trump greeted the officials and offered a show of cooperation, said Bobb, who attended the meeting along with another lawyer for the former president, Evan Corcoran. “He pointed to the attorneys there and said, ‘anything they need, make sure they do it,’ ” she told Fox News.

	
		Bobb told The Post that the group toured the storage facility, opening boxes and flipping through the records inside. She said Justice Department officials indicated they did not believe the storage unit was properly secured, so Trump officials added a lock to the facility.
</blockquote>


	There was no reason for the escalation. This was a political move.

	Right now this is being handled by the county prosecutor even though this is terrorism which is a federal issue. The feds poke their noses into places where they don't&nbsp;belong and then carefully avoid cases where they do.


	New York's penal code notes that murder in the second degree includes situation where "the defendant acted under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance for which there was a reasonable explanation or excuse, the reasonableness of which is to be determined from the viewpoint of a person in the defendant's situation."


	I'm not saying this is the rationale here, I don't know whether it is or not in play.


	Murder in the second degree and assault in the second degree are oddly light for what was an obvious murder attempt. Not to mention domestic terrorism.

Rushdie Stabber Only Charged With Second-Degree Attempted Murder, Authorities Try to Bar Press

One of the problems with federal authority is the constant overreach. Federal law enforcement was supposed to focus on cases with its purview. How is this <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/southern-baptists-say-denomination-faces-doj-investigation/">within its purview</a>?

<blockquote>
	
		The Justice Department (DOJ) has opened a federal investigation into the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the second-largest Christian domination in the country, following a report that alleged church leaders ignored survivors of sexual abuse.

	
		The DOJ investigation will include “multiple entities” of the SBC, and each entity intends to cooperate with the investigation, according to a&nbsp;statement&nbsp;from the SBC.
</blockquote>


	The DOJ had opened an investigation into sex abuse cases in the&nbsp;Catholic Church in 2018 and came up with nothing more than a defrocked priest "lying to the FBI" which is basically an admission that this was a waste of everyone's time but that the people in charge wanted to act like they had come away with something.


	The laborious grounds for a federal investigation of the Catholic Church in Philly was looking for whether priests had used child porn or if church leaders used church funds to cover up misconduct. That was somewhere between a fishing expedition and a very long reach. It was pretty obviously a case of the federal government looking for excuses to intrude into areas it had no particular reason to be. Never mind proposals to use racketeering charges.


	Using RICO against political and cultural opponents is obviously a dream.&nbsp;


	Now maybe this is all above board, but the SBC is conservative-leaning and under AG Garland, the DOJ has become a political machine targeting political opponents.


	It's unclear if the SBC investigation is national or by a local office, but either way there are basic questions about who is responsible and what the scope is. As the recent Mar-a-Lago raid reminds us, federal secrecy allows civil rights to die in darkness while political corruption thrives.


	The public deserves answers about the agendas behind the scenes.

Why is Biden's DOJ Investigating Southern Baptist Sex Allegations?

Compare Biden's statement on the Rushdie attack to his statement on the death of terror collaborator&nbsp;Jamal Khashoggi.&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		"Two years ago, Saudi operatives, reportedly acting at the direction of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, murdered and dismembered Saudi dissident, journalist, and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi. His offense — for which he paid with his life — was criticizing the policies of his government".
</blockquote>


	Here's Biden's statement on the recent Islamic terror attack on Salman Rushdie. See if you can spot what's missing.

<blockquote>
	
		"Jill and I were shocked and saddened to learn of the&nbsp;vicious&nbsp;attack on Salman Rushdie yesterday in New York. We, together with all Americans and people around the world, are praying for his&nbsp;health and&nbsp;recovery. I am grateful to the first responders&nbsp;and the&nbsp;brave&nbsp;individuals&nbsp;who jumped into action&nbsp;to render&nbsp;aid to Rushdie and&nbsp;subdue the attacker.&nbsp;

	
		Salman&nbsp;Rushdie—with his&nbsp;insight into humanity,&nbsp;with&nbsp;his unmatched sense for story, with his refusal to be intimidated or silenced—stands for essential,&nbsp;universal&nbsp;ideals.&nbsp;Truth. Courage.&nbsp;Resilience. The ability&nbsp;to&nbsp;share ideas&nbsp;without fear. These are the building blocks of any free and open society. And today, we reaffirm our commitment to those deeply American values in solidarity with Rushdie and all those who stand for freedom of expression."&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	There's a good deal of praise for Rushdie, but no condemnation of the attack and its backers in Iran. It would be awkward for Biden to condemn the regime he's collaborating with on a deal to legitimize its nuclear weapons program.


	And this is how you can tell what a statement is covering up about the author. Don't just look at what's there, but look at what's missing.

Biden Statement on Rushdie Attack Fails to Condemn Islamic Terrorism

Buildings like Notre Dame do not erupt into flames spontaneously. That’s not how God works, even to punish a civilization as deep in moral ruin as ours. My suspicions, and those of almost everyone I know, are hardly calmed when we see Fox News—yes, even Fox—repeatedly <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/fox-news-anchors-shut-down-mention-of-attacks-on-churches-in-france">refusing to host an honest discussion of the possibility</a>, even as experts tell French TV that eight hundred year old timber simply doesn’t burn that way without an accelerant. I mean, it’s not as though news networks restrain their hosts from wild speculation during other crises.


	So, understandably, the first reaction from anyone who has been reading the news lately was: “Muslims, right?” Alas, even Right-wing newsreaders are terrified of saying the wrong thing when the perp might be a member of the Religion of Peace. Attacks on Christian churches in Europe have become so numerous that <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/spate-attacks-catholic-churches-france-sees-altars-desecrated-christ-statue-1370800">even Newsweek has had to admit it</a>—though the magazine hilariously claims that no one knows why these attacks are happening, and the words “Islam” and “Muslim” are nowhere to be found in its reporting.


	Anyway, as of now, no solid evidence has emerged, and our media refuses to discuss <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2019/04/17/european-churches-vandalized-defecated-on-and-torched-every-day/">the context in which this fire occurred</a>. And it’s also true that a few of these desecrations have been accompanied by Satanic imagery, more likely the work of feminist anarchists. So, in the interests of being responsible, we are compelled to say we have no idea how this particular fire began. Yet.


	We can say, however, that the loss of Notre Dame is an especially Christian tragedy. It is a tragedy emblematic of the rapid destruction of Western civilization in the past few decades, a visual reminder of the inferno that has already gutted the Academy. It’s a wonder they didn’t finish off some of these churches first, though of course the cultural warriors of the Left can only squeal in excitement at the sort of brazen defacement they would never be brave enough to commit themselves. Those watching news coverage on Facebook were tormented—or delighted, depending on their wants—by a sea of Arabic names clicking on smiley faces as the jewel of Paris collapsed into ash, a spectacle that was, in turn, posted on Twitter by gloating social justice warriors.


	That’s not to say that only Christians are mourning. Notre Dame wasn’t just the spiritual heart of Paris but remains its literal geographic center—the place from which distances are measured. As a cathedral school, it was the center of medieval intellectual life. Peter Abelard and Thomas Aquinas both taught there. Whatever the later horrors of French postmodernism and poststructuralism, the University of Paris once had a reasonable claim to be the locus of the Western intellectual tradition, leading the world in the study of Aristotle, scholastic theology and reason applied to the mysteries of faith.


	Notre Dame is considered the ultimate example of High Gothic style, a popular form for churches because it symbolizes the body of Christ. It is significant and—again, to let my suspicions run amuck—surely no coincidence that this happened during Holy Week, since <a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/april-web-only/notre-dame-cathedral-fire-gothic-style-history-good-friday.html">hope for the resurrection is at the heart of Gothic design</a>. But Notre Dame transcended its role as a place of Catholic worship. As the recently departed Fr. James Schall once remarked about the great cathedrals of Europe, “Each of these extraordinary structures, built somehow in a way I do not wholly understand by ages far poorer than our own, incited me strangely in the thoroughly unexpected way that something which need not exist at all surprises and awakens us when, contrary to our private illusions and expectations, we suddenly discover that it exists and that it is lovely.”


	He went on: “The shock and glory of unexpectedly finding such buildings touches almost the peak of human experience. The very foundations of our existence, then, are grounded in this startling realization that we do not already grasp all of reality, especially things of such exalted beauty. We cannot but be humbled by the immediate revelation of how much we have missed. And yet we are glad that, so humbled, we can now inherit what the Earth has borne to us. For we stand to all reality as we do to Durham and to Freiburg and to Litchfield [cathedrals] when we behold them for the first time, when we are given something by the ages that we could not create or even imagine by ourselves.”


	For lovers of architecture, the cathedral’s North Rose window is one of the three great surviving roses from the thirteenth century. The rose has Mary at its center. As God shone through Mary, taking on the color of her human nature, so does the sunlight take on the color of the glass. As St. Bernard of Clairvaux <a href="https://catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2019/04/18/its-her-cathedral-but-somehow-our-lady-has-been-forgotten/">put it in the twelfth century</a>, “As a pure ray enters a glass window and emerges unspoiled, but has acquired the color of the glass… the Son of God who entered the most chaste womb of the Virgin, emerged pure, but took on the color of the Virgin, that is, the nature of a man and a comeliness of human form, and he clothed himself in it.”


	Journalists and commentators have got most of this wrong. The reaction from Jewish conservatives to Notre Dame has been superficially sympathetic but a little self-serving. They have been anxious to remind us that Jews have suffered too, that Christianity has “Jewish roots” and that Jews have suffered terrible violence in the European countries now awash with third-world migrants. (At this risk of upsetting my fellow Jews, this is a bit like someone using the tragedy as an excuse to brag about their summer vacation to Paris.) That last claim is true, obviously—Jews have been the victims of atrocious violence at the hands of migrants—but it has escaped no one’s notice that those in the media pushing most aggressively for generous accommodation of Syrians in the West have themselves been Jewish.


	Mary—the “Our Lady” of Notre Dame—is proof of the Incarnation. It is her body through which God becomes incarnate and it is she through whom the Word became incarnate and who is taken as a patron by educators. Notre Dame was built to support this understanding, a belief unique to Christianity. Jews deny that Jesus is Christ, which is why, in the story of her dormition, they attack the bier as the apostles carry Mary to her tomb and why they are described as “blind.” The Talmud is explicit about this rejection of Christ. But Mary prays for them and wants them to convert anyway. She never calls for violence against her fellow children of Abraham.


	The fire in Notre Dame is a work of iconoclasm, akin to the statues of Mary being smashed in France and Germany by Muslims <a href="https://fencingbearatprayer.blogspot.com/2017/08/piss-christ-and-son-of-allah.html">who also see the Incarnation as blasphemous</a>. Coupled with the reality of living as a Jew in today’s Germany or France, the solution is obvious. This is the time for Jews and Christians to band together against a common threat to our existence and in respect of our shared history. We can unite with one another as neither of us can with Islam. As a matrilineally Jewish Catholic I am a living example of this union. Islam and social justice are an existential threat to both of us.


	I sense in much of the European coverage of the past week a kind of guilt. France, perhaps more than any other country, deserved some sort of retribution from God, and I think Parisians know it. France doesn’t even record its citizens’ religious beliefs in its national census. No one has any idea what percentage of French people are Christian, though we can be sure the percentage is going down as the number of Muslims goes up. Since the Enlightenment, France has done more than any other country to wipe out Christianity. And it started early. As long ago as 1767, Voltaire described the Christian religion as “sans contredit la plus ridicule, la plus absurde, et la plus sanguinaire qui ait jamais infecté le monde.” (“Without question the most ridiculous, absurd and bloody ever to have infected the world.”)


	In the West, we have lost our appreciation of Christianity as a source of reason, hope and joy, and we embrace characterizations of the faith as weak, ridiculous, superstitious and faintly sick—impressions not helped by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Diabolical-Francis-Betrayed-Clerical-Me-ebook/dp/B07K2KYLFK">the current state of the Catholic church hierarchy</a>. The loss is not total, just as many of Notre Dame’s most precious relics and treasures <a href="https://catholicherald.co.uk/news/2019/04/17/saved-from-the-flames-the-treasures-that-survived-the-notre-dame-fire/">appear to have been saved</a>. But the trajectory is clear.


	One miracle story of the Virgin, first recounted by Gregory of Tours, concerns a Jewish boy who was friends with some Christian children. He took communion with them, but when his father, a glassblower, found out, he threw the boy into his furnace. The Virgin protected him with her cloak, as with the three boys in the furnace in Daniel. I have been meditating on this story as I have watched Our Lady fail to protect herself from the flames, and while reading the news that an American university professor, apparently “inspired” by Notre Dame, was <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/education/2019/04/18/nypd-philosophy-professor-arrested-after-entering-st-patricks-cathedral-with-gas-lighters/">arrested entering a church this week</a> carrying gasoline and lighter fluid.


	It is characteristic of Western civilization to rise again, as even Left-wing medievalists who can’t bring themselves to acknowledge Christianity <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/04/15/fire-was-scourge-medieval-cathedrals-they-rebuilt-ashes/">have to admit</a>. But can we possibly restore what has been lost <a href="https://mises.org/power-market/can-modern-man-re-create-notre-dame">even if we try</a>? The West has lost its soul, and with that soul, its craft. As we lost our understanding of God as maker, we lost our respect for making things ourselves. We therefore <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2019/04/15/the-world-sinks-to-ruin/">no longer possess either the will or the means to build something like Notre Dame</a>, less still the technical ability to dare attempt a repair. We have forgotten how, and part of me says the Cathedral should be left to stand precisely as it is now to remind us of the fact, unfinished and unrepaired until we rediscover <a href="https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2019/04/fire-in-the-cathedral">the purpose for which it was constructed in the first place</a>. We don’t have the right to crassly imitate the original.


	Hilaire Belloc could say, approvingly and as recently as the twentieth century, that Europe <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=H61NAAAAMAAJ&amp;pg=PA66&amp;lpg=PA66&amp;dq=ON+THE+CATHEDRAL+AT+SEVILLE+AND+%22THE+MISANTHROPE%22+By+Hilaire+Belloc&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=gqZiZ-Mb3Y&amp;sig=ACfU3U0t-SMwXbDGnmEMMBcnZgrmezPDtg&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj1qY6W-9fhAhVDh-AKHe1uBJ8Q6AEwAXoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=ON%20THE%20CATHEDRAL%20AT%20SEVILLE%20AND%20%22THE%20MISANTHROPE%22%20By%20Hilaire%20Belloc&amp;f=false">“repairs and finishes.”</a> Could he have said that today? Would he, after hearing Emmanuel Macron’s chilling pledge that Notre Dame will be rebuilt <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2019/04/16/watch-live-emmanuel-macron-gives-speech-on-notre-dame-cathedral-blaze">“more beautiful than before”</a>? In 1905, churches in France were declared the property of the state, which raises horrifying prospects for Notre Dame’s reconstruction. Will Macron suggest a “multi-faith prayer space” in order to be “truly inclusive” of France’s “multicultural society”? Don’t bet against it, folks. <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/notre-dame-cathedral-paris-fire-whats-next-822743/">Already the calls are going out</a> from elitist architects—in Rolling Stone, natch—that the rebuilding should not reflect “white European France.”


	There was a sort of terrible beauty in that fire. You could see the devil dancing in it, a Balrog’s malevolence that shatters stone and glass. It was alive, and, mesmerized by it, we got a glimpse of our end, of what we have allowed to happen to our greatest institutions, of the defacement done to our curricula and the petty vandalism we allow every day to be performed upon our laws, our customs and our social mores by people who loathe everything about us. And in that acrid smoke lurked a question that haunts me today: Did we deserve this?

And this biographical revelation explains almost everything about how he looks at the world, and what led him to self-immolate in the way he did.

It turns out that his mom was, and remains, <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/eb2b8e5b0312f44c9bb7b02d8c0bdbdb748affc0?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.nytimes.com%252F2016%252F03%252F13%252Farts%252Ftelevision%252Fthe-smollett-family-business-acting-and-activism.html%26userId%3D3934436%26signature%3D8cb19b493de9eb71&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551491254847000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFGjsBuZk3z0iUZtL9BbZGHonNzKQ" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/eb2b8e5b0312f44c9bb7b02d8c0bdbdb748affc0?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2016%2F03%2F13%2Farts%2Ftelevision%2Fthe-smollett-family-business-acting-and-activism.html&amp;userId=3934436&amp;signature=8cb19b493de9eb71" target="_blank">best friends with Marcuse disciple Angela Davis</a>, the Communist Party candidate for Vice President in 1980 and 1984.

	
		And by Communist, we of course mean “Russia-backed”—not in the speculative wet-dream-CNN-Trump-scandal sense of being backed by Russia, but in the actual, bought-and-paid-for-by-red-devils sense of the phrase.

	
		Angela Davis’s candidacy for Kremlin-funded communists disappears and reappears from her Wikipedia entry all the time. You never know if it’ll be there on a given day. Perhaps that’s because Davis is now somewhat embarrassed by her past as a Communist Party member. Not because it was dangerous and insane, you understand, but because it wasn’t extreme enough. In 2009, <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/9c469230223010b443ab8b836f33a57c2bc48f00?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.c-span.org%252Fvideo%252F%253F328898-1%252Fangela-davis-oral-history-interview%26userId%3D3934436%26signature%3D2ff9b424a698cf2a&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551491254847000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFVtz5e9e8kYTxUK2FN70lC0p9wiQ" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/9c469230223010b443ab8b836f33a57c2bc48f00?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.c-span.org%2Fvideo%2F%3F328898-1%2Fangela-davis-oral-history-interview&amp;userId=3934436&amp;signature=2ff9b424a698cf2a" target="_blank">she laughed and sneered as she told the head of the NAACP</a> that she really struggled over whether to join the Communist Party because she considered it “so conservative … I wanted to do something more interesting and radical.”

	
		Davis wistfully added that she still sometimes imagined “the possibility of moving beyond the democratic socialist arrangement.” In the same interview, she explained how she was followed by the FBI from the age of six, and taught by her Communist Party parents never to speak to the authorities. Who headed the Communist Party when Davis was six, and died a couple of months after her ninth birthday? That would be Josef Stalin.

	
		Davis was a fan of Jim “Kool-Aid Killer” Jones and hated Solzhenitsyn’s fellow dissidents in Russia. Progressives are regularly mystified when <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/ae52ecd4cc82c474abc37207d50b3c900040de52?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fprogressive.org%252Fdispatches%252Frescinding-award-angela-davis-cowardly-zunes-190110%252F%26userId%3D3934436%26signature%3D7d026b4e77207db8&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551491254847000&amp;usg=AFQjCNET5QyU-lEEqya3pUk5QCQnaGagIw" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/ae52ecd4cc82c474abc37207d50b3c900040de52?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprogressive.org%2Fdispatches%2Frescinding-award-angela-davis-cowardly-zunes-190110%2F&amp;userId=3934436&amp;signature=7d026b4e77207db8" target="_blank">her pathological hatred of Israel</a> presents her with hurdles to professional advancement and various gongs. Needless to say, Davis is now making a living on the diversity circuit on college campuses. These days she’s a professor emerita at UC Santa Cruz, in something called—I kid you not—the “History of Consciousness Department.” She’s also, naturally, a former director of the university’s Feminist Studies department. That’s when she’s not hosting the Smollett family for lunch on Mother’s Day.

	
		Communism isn’t the threat it used to be, despite the best efforts of a few ludicrous Democrat congresswomen. Maybe because it’s hard for North Korea to field a powerful enough army when all they have to eat is grass. But its ideological descendent, third-wave feminism, is busy tearing apart American society. I’ll get in trouble with everyone editing this magazine and just about everyone reading it for saying so, but feminism, the social incarnation of Marxist thought, is way more deadly than communism.

	
		When Marxism became comprehensively discredited as an economic system after the Cold War, its fans in the academy began looking for ways the oppressor/oppressed dynamic might be put to use elsewhere. They discovered there was an almost inexhaustible supply of imaginary social problems that could be examined through that lens. Thus women, minorities, gays and other supposedly marginalized groups were handed victimhood scripts with which to fight their “oppressors.”

	
		No matter the complexities of individual circumstance, the oppressors were always the same: white Western heterosexual male Christian capitalists – just coincidentally the same people economic Marxism had tried and failed to conquer. Hence the birth of what even the Left-wing Atlantic has described as contemporary <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/dce1a5ad57cd7c20c00481cbe6c9e74bea24578e?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.theatlantic.com%252Famp%252Farticle%252F583099%252F%26userId%3D3934436%26signature%3D47665049f110fbd9&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551491254847000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGpuGvYBj27Xsz6P2z_h5PPE7FPaA" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/dce1a5ad57cd7c20c00481cbe6c9e74bea24578e?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Famp%2Farticle%2F583099%2F&amp;userId=3934436&amp;signature=47665049f110fbd9" target="_blank">victimhood chic</a>.

But they do need intervention, lest their parents’ communism metastasize into something even worse. Assuming it’s not already too late.

	
		As Allan Bloom writes in The Closing of the American Mind, feminism has destroyed classic texts far more comprehensively than any previous theoretical lens, because it tears down the great books’ heroes and heaps scorn on their erotic bonds with the women who love them. And as we’ve seen from the last decade of wage gap mythology and moral panics about campus rape culture, driving the sexes apart destroys entire civilizations far more effectively and irrevocably than furious Marxist literature and a few barmy communist activists.

	
		Stripping society of the very idea of virtuous manhood and heroic masculine ideals is just about the only sure-fire route to unraveling everything good about that society, which is why modern feminism and bog-standard Marxism still exist in intricate symbiosis. Communism agitates for control of the means of production. But feminism demands control of the means of reproduction—a far more powerful resource. Communism merely wants to turn women in to workers, but feminism tells them that motherhood is beneath them. Marxists hate success, but feminists hate life itself.

	
		I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Jussie Smollett’s father, who died in 2014 after a long battle with cancer, doesn’t play a very influential role in the story of his early life, and that Smollett, who was <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/88a4af707192bdfcb1e87b1dc2c5809f61bdac20?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fheavy.com%252Fentertainment%252F2019%252F01%252Fjussie-smollett-family%252Famp%252F%26userId%3D3934436%26signature%3D04c27e42e7f8b192&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551491254847000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGWGWfNcnBDOfqEVYfYxH7EWAOE1A" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/88a4af707192bdfcb1e87b1dc2c5809f61bdac20?url=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com%2Fentertainment%2F2019%2F01%2Fjussie-smollett-family%2Famp%2F&amp;userId=3934436&amp;signature=04c27e42e7f8b192" target="_blank">raised “in the orbit of the Black Panthers</a>,” therefore turned out to be a gay crypto-communist.

		Little is known about Smollett’s father, a Russian-Polish Jew, but if he too was cozy with the Bobby Rush-Fred Hampton Chicago Panthers—the New York Times is too coy to tell us in <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/a2fe017f5ee49374a24fa9b2a6f7be94de71fcf1?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.nytimes.com%252F2016%252F03%252F13%252Farts%252Ftelevision%252Fthe-smollett-family-business-acting-and-activism.html%253Fez_cid%253DCLIENT_ID(AMP_ECID_EZOIC)%26userId%3D3934436%26signature%3D968ae8ca92044cea&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551491254847000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGzq8LRokgTyR3FV3nmF-j6gQij4Q" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/a2fe017f5ee49374a24fa9b2a6f7be94de71fcf1?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2016%2F03%2F13%2Farts%2Ftelevision%2Fthe-smollett-family-business-acting-and-activism.html%3Fez_cid%3DCLIENT_ID(AMP_ECID_EZOIC)&amp;userId=3934436&amp;signature=968ae8ca92044cea" target="_blank">its admiring profile</a> of the family—then his father was cozying up to an organization with roots in a notoriously violent street gang called the Blackstone Rangers. What we do know is that the largest presence in young Jussie’s life was his mother and her female friends, women like Angela Davis. Jussie lists Panther founders Bobby Seale, Huey Newton and Julian Bond as some of his mother’s closest intimates.

	
		Smollett’s a very specific kind of homosexual sociopath I recognize from the mirror—I mean, from my years on the gay scene. He’d be first in line to join the SS or the KGB (the latter, probably), because he loves the sexy uniforms and he doesn’t give a shit about other human beings. If he’d learned from a strong, positive masculine role model the heroic manly virtues of courage, integrity, resilience, honesty, hard work, self-sacrifice and personal responsibility, he would never in a million years have considered the slimy, disreputable and pathetically transparent maneuver with which he ended his career.

	
		No one talks enough about the damage overbearing, misandrist mothers and delinquent or weak fathers do to children, but it’s there for all to see in America’s great maladies: gangs, runaway gayness and Gender Studies. Each stem from a twisted understanding, or an absence, of responsibly channeled manliness. The reason black boys in America do so poorly, even relative to black girls, isn’t racism—otherwise you’d have to explain why boys are on the receiving end of it when girls aren’t—but the lack of dads in their lives.

	
		Marxist feminism’s systematic expulsion of masculinity from the realm of aspirational values produces grotesque results. Feminism votes men into irrelevance and degradation, scorning fatherhood, depriving children of male role models as they unwind the protective institutions of civil society. Women have been subverting the labor market for decades, which hurts both sexes. This is particularly the case in the entertainment industry, where compensation is pegged to successful attention-seeking. That’s a girl thing: Men are supposed to compete on skill.

	
		Jussie Smollett wanted more money, but he didn’t know how to compete for it honorably, because his understanding of the jobs marketplace was distorted by both feminism and communism. Rather than go for a big-paying movie role, or brush up his acting or singing, he decided to cast himself as a victim of oppressive forces. That’s a direct product of the communist-infused social justice milieu in which he was reared.

How Communism Created Jussie Smollett

Praise be to Jussie Smollett for making Black History Month the success we were all hoping for. By now, you’ll have heard about the appalling fraud he

In 2015, I wrote <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/16/im-a-gay-man-and-mass-muslim-immigration-terrifies-me/">the column that secured my place</a> in the pantheon of Right-wing hate figures: “I’m A Gay Man And Mass Muslim Immigration Terrifies Me.” Shortly afterwards, I left London, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/social-justice/2016/08/31/london-is-gone/">disturbed by the state of my capital city</a> and hoping that with a megaphone in America I could sound the alarm about European Islamization. But the cancer has further metastasized. Although I have since married an American citizen, and am therefore eligible for a green card, I am applying for asylum in the United States. It’s the only way to be sure I never have to return to a country with so many citizens eager to see me imprisoned or dead.


	Muslims in the UK have the most bigoted and barbaric values of any Islamic community anywhere in the West, and their reactionary social attitudes aren’t restricted to homosexuality. Only three per cent of British Muslims believe any sex outside marriage is morally acceptable. One in twenty Muslims in Britain say <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/11/british-muslims-strong-sense-of-belonging-poll-homosexuality-sharia-law">they sympathize with suicide bombers</a>. A third believe that men should be permitted multiple wives. 39 per cent agree that “women should always obey their husbands.”


	But their loathing of gays is universal, and absolute. Muslims living in the UK <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/may/07/muslims-britain-france-germany-homosexuality">have “zero tolerance” of homosexuality</a>, according to the Left-wing Guardian. Not one of the 500 Muslims interviewed for that 2009 Gallup poll said they found it acceptable. (By contrast, 35 per cent of French Muslims are relaxed about les pédérastes.) More British Muslims believe the earth is flat than are chill about having a pair of queens move in next door.


	Half of all British Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal, and a quarter of them want sharia law instituted in the UK. Those numbers come from another progressive source: A poll for Left-leaning broadcaster Channel 4, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/11/british-muslims-strong-sense-of-belonging-poll-homosexuality-sharia-law">conducted in 2016</a>. And their social attitudes are getting worse, not better, over time. More recent polling shows that the rise in religious observance among Muslims is “particularly evident” <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/review-survey-research-muslims-britain-0">in those aged 16 to 29</a>.


	I know all this is true because I’ve seen it. I’ve been yelled at and spat at in the street. I have friends—lifelong Labour voters—who have been assaulted by Bangladeshis in public parks because Muslims hate dogs and lose their shit if your pooch takes a crap outside. In east London, you can’t buy alcohol after a certain time in many liquor stores because the Muslim minority, which is disproportionately unemployed and living in “affordable housing” paid for by the taxpayer, whip up letter-writing campaigns to make life difficult for anyone selling booze. In Stepney, one residents’ association had to reschedule a summer fete so as not to clash with Ramadan—and were then bullied into making it alcohol-free by Muslim neighbors who didn’t even show up.


	Muslims with extreme, hateful views about gays and horrible opinions about women would be an irritant and not a menace but for the fact that they are routinely insulated from criticism by a politically-correct media elite that scoffs whenever you mention the appalling social problems that spring up, as night follows day, whenever the area hits a certain percentage of Islamic residents. When a government report meekly suggests that people living in Britain should take an oath of allegiance to British values—basic stuff like not murdering your neighbors or throwing acid in your ex-wife’s face—the press <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/wndzxb/casey-review-integration-birmingham-washwood-heath">smears it</a> as having the “tea-and-jam-sandwiches stench of neo-Imperialist fascism.”


	Brits aren’t told the truth about what Muslims are up to, because police forces refuse to investigate their crimes, and journalists are terrified of painting Muslims in a poor light. So, no one really knows how bad it is. In a classic moment of British understatement, <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-casey-review-a-review-into-opportunity-and-integration">Dame Louise Casey wrote</a> in her 2016 Integration Review that, “Community cohesion does not feel universally strong across the country.” I’ll say. Perhaps it’s got something to do with the Muslim rape gangs running wild in every town and city in Britain, targeting young white girls as easy meat for abuse and defilement and laughing as they get away with it.


	In Rotherham and Telford, local police, crippled by political correctness, looked the other way as thousands of young white girls were gang-raped over decades. Priapic Islamic yobs needn’t seek out goats when they have Kimberly from the White Road Estate and a castrated police force. These scandals are significant because they demonstrate the British government’s unwillingness to prosecute Muslim hate crimes.


	We have no idea how much of <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/gay-lgbt-hate-crimes-stats-rise-four-year-physical-verbal-homophobic-abuse-community-a7933126.html">the recent surge in anti-gay hate crime</a> in part is motivated by Islam, because of course we don’t. But I’m willing to bet it’s a major contributory factor—and surely no one is at greater risk of random attacks in the street than a famous gay conservative writer known for his uncompromising defenses of Western civilization and his critiques of oppressive, sexist religious customs like the burka. The reality of gays and Muslims co-existing in society isn’t the glorious intersectional utopia of progressive wet dreams. It’s the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.


	In countries where sharia is enforced by the government, homosexuality is usually punishable by death, following the example laid down by Mohammed in the Hadith. I, too, occasionally feel like stabbing Dan Savage in the throat. But the feeling quickly passes, and I don’t want the right enshrined in law. You don’t have to be in ISIS territory to be at risk as a homosexual. Across the Arab world, including Egypt and even the supposedly liberal Lebanon, gays live in mortal danger. 97 per cent of Jordanians believe homosexuality should be rejected. Again, as a reminder, one in four Muslims in Britain wants sharia as the law of the land.


	There are at least 85 sharia courts <a href="http://www.civitas.org.uk/content/files/ShariaLawOrOneLawForAll.pdf#page=85">already operating in Britain</a>. They use sharia principles to formulate legally-binding arbitration rulings. They also, chillingly, deal with a lot of family law, which means that women, already <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-18/abused-muslim-women-denied-right-to-divorce/9632772">treated as chattel</a> under Islam, are faced with “rulings” on whether they have permission to leave their husbands. Putting an imam in charge of family law is like appointing R. Kelly president of your local school board.


	When we first learned about this parallel justice system operating out of living rooms in Bradford and Leicester, we were told they were insignificant, and ultimately subject to UK law. But almost immediately, British courts began to honor sharia court rulings.


	I can’t wait around for the heroic Tommy Robinson to topple the government and his army of brave lads to shut the borders themselves. Besides, I think it’s too late for my home country. White Brits are <a href="https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/british-white-people-set-become-14830628">about to become the minority</a> in Birmingham, the jihadi capital of the UK in which 50,000 people cannot speak English. There are places in Bradford you can’t order a coffee if you don’t speak Arabic.


	Britain is already five per cent Muslim, which means that, if I went home, I’d be living in a country where millions of people think that I should be thrown in prison, or worse, for making love to my husband. For all of America’s terrible social problems, at least Muslims are only about one per cent of the population here—and ten per cent of those are safely locked up in jail. Plus, a lot of them are black, so if they do get physical with me in the street, I can write it off as foreplay.


	Before you ask, I can’t move to another European country. Nearly six per cent of the population in Germany are Muslim, which doesn’t sound too bad until you find out that ten per cent of births in the country are to Muslim parents. Give it a generation or two and it’s game over. That’s why politicians in Europe are so soft on Islam, by the way: They can’t win elections anymore without pandering to the Muslim community. I think that’s why Nigel Farage has gone soft and started condemning Tommy. He’s a politician and he knows no one can get elected in the UK without saying nice things about Islam.


	If I weren’t already a British citizen, I’d almost certainly be banned from the country, like Robert Spencer, for speaking out about all this. But why would I return when I live in fear of being attacked on the streets that used to comfort me? Muslims are the ultimate crybullies, regularly telling pollsters that islamophobia is <a href="http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/08/09/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/">a real and urgent problem</a> in the same breath as admitting they want to imprison gays and enslave women.


	I want out. As a gay conservative in public life, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/16/im-a-gay-man-and-mass-muslim-immigration-terrifies-me/">I don’t feel safe in Britain anymore</a>. My government refuses to take the necessary steps to protect me and has, in many cases, actively militated against my interests as a member of at-risk group. That’s why I’m asking the United States to step in.


	You can apply for asylum in the United States if you have suffered persecution, or fear you might suffer it, owing to your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. I am a well-known, interracially-married gay Christian conservative, of Jewish extraction, from a country overrun by Bronze Age social attitudes and crippled by politically-correct dhimmitude from the eunuchs in charge.


	It’s true that I don’t look like the asylum seekers you’re used to. I’m not an HIV+ drug-dealing transsexual prostitute from Tijuana who fancies a change of scenery and a welfare check. But it turns out that persecuted people come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve consulted an immigration lawyer, and he says it’s worth a try. With my intersectional identity and marginalized status as the target of an oppressive, violent, reactionary Right-wing patriarchy, surely I’m exactly the sort of person the asylum process was designed to protect.

Why I’m Seeking Asylum In America

In 2015, I wrote the column that secured my place in the pantheon of Right-wing hate figures: “I’m A Gay Man And Mass Muslim Immigration Terrifies Me.” Shortly
