Breaking: Fighting Terrorists... WorksWhile no one was looking, something historic happened in the Middle East. The Palestinian intifada is over, and the Palestinians have lost. ... The end of the intifada does not mean the end of terrorism. There was terrorism before the intifada and there will be terrorism to come. What has happened, however, is an end to systematic, regular, debilitating, unstoppable terror -- terror as a reliable weapon. At the height of the intifada, there were nine suicide attacks in Israel killing 85 Israelis in just one month (March 2002). In the past three months there have been none. The overall level of violence has been reduced by more than 70 percent. How did Israel do it? By ignoring its critics and launching a two-pronged campaign of self-defense. First, Israel targeted terrorist leaders -- attacks so hypocritically denounced by Westerners who, at the same time, cheer the hunt for, and demand the head of, Osama bin Laden.... Second, the fence. Only about a quarter of the separation fence has been built, but its effect is unmistakable. The northern part is already complete, and attacks in northern Israel have dwindled to almost nothing. Krauthammer has more. The left thinks it's very important that Israel pursue a strategy of peaceful appeasement towards those who want to kill its citizens. How many additional Jews are they willing to see murdered to vindicate this abstract goal, exactly? They're never willing to put a number to it.

CommentsIn addition to Israel's self-defense mode, we also have to look at the complete removal of Saddam's support that kept the money rolling into the PLO/Hammas/Hezbolla coffers. Without any major money coming in,(I keep thinking about the pictures of the 'pledge drive' by the terrorists group a few months back) these groups cannot sustain or convince young Palestinians it's 'allright' to kill themselves. It's all about the money.

Ohio GOP leaders reject Democrats' plan to get President Joe Biden on November ballot
The GOP is changing into something that can fight. Slowly. From time to time. Which is an improvement.[TJM]
Maine Governor Allows National Popular Vote Legislation to Become Law "Absent a ranked-choice voting circumstance, it seems to me that the person who wins the most votes should become the President. To do otherwise seemingly runs counter to the democratic foundations of our country[.]" In other words, "I am entirely ignorant of American History and its political philosophy" [CBD]

More Twitter hottakes from the grimly dour zealot CEO of NPR, who announces proudly that she's a childless cat-lady because "the world is burning"
Candace Owens declared if women don't use their eggs, "they scramble," and that these childless leftwing AWFLs feel their maternal instincts, spurned though they are, acutely, and with no children to mother, instead insist on mothering adult strangers.
Grimwoke Future: Mark Kern (co-creator of Starcraft, Warcraft) writes that Games Workshop is wokefying its line of miniatures and the entire lore of the (very lucrative) Warhammer 40K franchise to appease BlackRock, Vanguard, and the "European equivalent of BlackRock," who collectively own 25% of their stock
Henry Cavill is developing a Warhammer TV series. This is the exact wrong time for Games Workshop to spit on its actual audience. (If there's ever a right time.) You may not think that suddenly deciding that women have always been part of the Emperor's personal bodyguard is a big deal, but a huge amount of the appeal of Warhammer is its extensive and interesting lore. The game is expensive AF and it's the lore that keeps fans dedicated to the brand. The Custodes (the bodyguards) have been repeatedly called out as all-male for decades. And now, to appease fucking Larry Fink, 40,000 years of lore are being rewritten.

SEFTON UPDATE, Friday 4/5/24 -- Dear friends: the outpouring of love, prayers and words of encouragement from you all have absolutely blown me away. I can't even begin to express my gratitude at being blessed to have all of you in my corner. Anyway, despite the ridiculously appropriate Yiddish expression lok-in-kopf (a hole in the head, as in, "I need this like") I just wanted to let you know that I'm in good spirits, feeling no physical pain and taking it a day at a time. I'm itching to get back in the saddle, but for now, I'll just be lurking. God bless you all. J.J. Sefton
