After the Weather Underground’s seven-year bombing campaign, three senior FBI men were heading toward a criminal trial. And not a single Weatherman.

Days of Rage.

For those who are wondering why the FBI is so lefty, Bryan Burroughs’ book provides the answer. The FBI agents who hunted the left-wing terrorists in the 1970s were rubbished, persecuted, and prosecuted for ridiculous things like steaming open and reading the terrorists’ letters. Twenty, thirty years of stellar records of serving their country amounted to nothing. Risking their lives to stop the terrorist criminals meant bupkes. FBI agents saw Dohrn, Ayers, Boudin, and the rest of the murderers rewarded with honors and high-paying jobs for terrorizing and killing people. The agents, in the meantime, were ground into the dust for trying to stop these lunatics from committing more murders.

Is it surprising that there’s a shortage of people at the FBI who are interested in stopping today’s Dohrns and Ayerses? The terrorists saw every one of their ideas become accepted, celebrated, and aggressively imposed. Why shouldn’t the FBI run around, investigating imaginary nooses at the behest of Weathermen’s students?

I once again repeat my suggestion that nobody should immigrate into this country without reading Days of Rage very carefully and getting tested on the knowledge of the material.

I promise I’m not trying to be difficult but how is this new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas different from the previous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that Trump got them to sign?

Are we stuck in an endless loop of ceasefires that are not ceasefires? I hope this one sticks, of course, like we all do.

Why do you say “parents”, though? Has anybody ever heard of a father doing this kind of thing? It’s always the mother’s initiative. And it’s the same motivation. The mother is repelled by the idea of her daughter growing into a woman and enjoying her own body like the mother never did. So she prevents that by mutilating the daughter.

Have you heard of FGM? It’s always pursued by mothers and in very aggressive ways. The justification is, “this was done to me, and now I’m doing it to her.” They say it completely openly, and the look on their faces tells you everything. These women know they were robbed and they can’t stand the idea of their daughters having what they never could.

Of course, what I’m describing is a completely different phenomenon from when a middle-aged man in a very masculine profession suddenly puts a wig on his balding head and insists that everybody call him Rachel. That’s autogynephilia, and it’s an entirely separate thing. This has nothing at all to do with his childhood. That these very different phenomena get grouped together is unfortunate and confuses everybody.

I got to the chapters in Days of Rage that talk about the Symbionese Liberation Army, and it occurred to me that the word Symbionese is precisely the kind of moronic neologism that Candace Owens would come up with. I keep getting distracted from the reading by images of Candace gravely explaining why it’s a genius term.

She didn’t actually come up with it, of course. She’s too young. But it’s totally her kind of dumbness.

Somebody asked if I watched “One Battle Too Many.” I almost never watch movies. All I ever watch is Matt Walsh and an occasional true crime documentary on Netflix. And then, I don’t really watch them. I listen and almost never look at the screen.

With movies, I just can’t process visual images the way I process words. Most actors look the same to me. I get viciously bored having to stare at a screen. N is responsible for Klara’s movie education, and together they have watched every American children’s classic. But I’m useless movie-wise, and I freely admit this.

I love old Soviet movies but my father was there when I watched them and he explained them to me. By myself, I’m impotent.

Is it a good movie? Has anybody on here watched it?

“Racism” didn’t really exist in ancient Rome. Emperors were white, black, Arab, didn’t matter. The color of your skin was like the color of your eyes. *Citizenship* is the distinction they drew. It wasn’t just about what you got in return, it was about your duty to your nation. pic.twitter.com/2hbALCNzky

Strangely, it never occurs to anybody to argue that half of the Aztec or Inca emperors or African chieftains and kings were white. The only culture that has to be insistently and counterfactually presented as being the today’s embodiment of diverse is the European culture.

When in the mid-1970s radicalized Puerto Ricans graduated from small-scale terror attacks to the deadliest bombings of the radical era, NYPD couldn’t investigate their crimes. A few years previously, civil rights groups had forced NYPD to destroy all the information it had gathered about these terrorists. Police officers weren’t allowed to track their movements, infiltrate their terror cells, or attend their meetings undercover. When Puerto Ricans switched from limited-range to large-scale bombings, NYPD was caught flat-footed, not because it didn’t want to do the work but because it wasn’t allowed to do it.

Does this remind you of anything?

Everybody who immigrates into the US should have to read Days of Rage and get tested on the contents. The reading and the test should also be a pre-condition on receiving a student visa into the country.

I’m trying to read an article about this year’s National Book Award, but the reading is not going well because the article is as follows:

Two of the shortlisted novels, by Washington and Alameddine, explore distance and connection between gay men and their mothers. Rutherford’s and Russell’s books are historical fiction, while Majumdar’s novel spends one tense week with an Indian woman trying to emigrate in the face of a climate crisis.

Several of the nonfiction finalists tackle contentious contemporary issues head-on. Omar El Akkad’s “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” is about the response of America and Europe to the destruction in Gaza. In “When It All Burns: Fighting Fire in a Transformed World,” Jordan Thomas digs into a destructive six-month fire season sparked by climate change. . .

The other finalists are Kyle Lukoff’s “A World Worth Saving,” which mixes Jewish mythology and adventure in a story about a trans teenager’s efforts to dismantle a conversion therapy program.

These might all be talented books, by the way.  They sound moronic because the person The New York Times paid to write the article is a moron who hates literature. She thinks that reading is about familiarizing yourself with “issues.” An intellectual invalid who has no idea how to derive pleasure from reading.

I researched her, and it turns out she wrote a novel. About issues. And fashionable identities.

FOX NEWS ALERT: A majority of Supreme Court Justices signaled their intent to overturn Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” for minors on Tuesday, suggesting they may sympathize with a licensed counselor’s claim that the law infringes on her First Amendment rights.

There should be a ban on therapy for children, period. Any therapy.

Children are never the problem.

A man arrested with 200 explosives outside of a church event for Supreme Court justices on Sunday had a manifesto showing that his anger was directed at the Supreme Court, ICE, Catholics, and Jews, @realdailywire found.

This is now a daily occurrence. It’s very concerning. If you have any time at all, please read Days of Rage. Or I’ll record a video about the book and bug everybody with it.
