President Trump called the woman pictured below a “loser” for being captured. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and DOGE ordered her service history to be deleted from the Department of Defense archives because she was “DEI” and “woke.”

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

A few years ago, The NYT featured the most prominent people in corporations and institutions, with photos, to demonstrate how white people dominate elite positions. Instead, someone on the internet went and put the star of David on all the pictures of photos with Jewish sounding surnames to demonstrate how actually it’s Jewish people dominating these positions. I had a bad feeling about what was to come after seeing that.

It reminded me of something I learned when my kids started school. They ha…

Kmele has really spearheaded that aspect in a modern context. We are encouraged to see evil in whiteness. Many blacks who use that same logic and apply it to Jews are not prepared for the epic backlash. It's kind of a classic issue with intersectionality. All the leftist groups end up being antisemitic because they can't modulate the guilt by association and erasure of nuance.

I’m only an hour in so I don’t think Kmele did this specifically but I’m starting to see anti-“woke” / anti-CRT people wanting to dismantle Jewish identity because they see it as the same as race essentialism. (As a Jew) that makes me nervous. Not sure if either of you two have come across the same thing.

Kmele discusses it more on Fifth Column. There is a good argument for rejecting the over emphasis on racial categories. Judaism as a religious group isn't quite the same thing.
