Antifa calls for more violence against ICE
Our take: If you are tired of the gaslighting around Antifa not being a terrorist organization that plans and incites violence, join the club. These dirtbags hide behind masks and secret meetings while firebombing federal buildings, throwing projectiles at law enforcement, and lynching people they disagree with.
If you need more proof they need to be pursued, apprehended, and prosecuted, look no further. This week, Anarchistnews.org, an Antifa-communist propaganda website, instructed all anarchists across the country to converge in the streets and “wage a carnival of war against ICE.”
OK. I guess we should wait for CNN, far-left government officials, or Brian Stelter to explain how we just don’t understand the message and we are interpreting this all wrong. Too bad for them I learned English early in life. These are threats and calls for violence. We support using the full force of law enforcement to track these scumbags down and lock them up, far away from the hundreds of millions of innocent people who simply want to live their lives.

YouTube admits Biden administration pressured them to censor content creators who disagreed with the government
Our take: For the past week, we have listened to celebrities, politicians, and countless others scream about free speech because unfunny Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for taking shots at those mourning a man publicly executed less than 2 weeks ago. I hope I hear them screaming much louder about this obvious violation of free speech that we all saw with our own eyes during the manufactured Covid lockdowns.
YouTube, after being subpoenaed by Congress, announced it would allow accounts that were removed for publishing “disinformation” about Covid or the 2020 election. Further, YouTube stated many of these accounts were removed because of direct and extreme pressure from the Biden Administration even though the accounts had not violated any of YouTube’s policies.
First, this is cut and dried. The First Amendment protects citizens from the government infringing on their right to free speech. That is clearly and indisputably what took place here. Second, what was labeled “misinformation” by the jack-booted government officials who were silencing dissent during Covid has turned out to be proven true in many instances once the facts actually came out. Staying 6 feet apart was made of whole cloth with zero scientific evidence it worked.
Any mask other than an N-95 or similar mask was a decoration, providing no safety to either the person wearing it or those around them. The vaccine did not stop the spread of the virus. Being infected with the virus provided as much, if not more, immunity than any shot. Making any of these arguments in 2020 or 2021 got you banned from social media platforms across the board. But yeah—Jimmy Kimmel sure was treated unfairly.

Tennessee State University ejects a group protesting DEI and supporting the deportation of illegal immigrants because they disagreed with their viewpoints
Our take: Just because you can do something does not mean you should. These jackasses decided it would be a good idea to show up at a largely Black college with signs that said they were anti-DEI and they supported deporting illegal immigrants. It is a classless move, and their parents should have done a better job teaching them right from wrong.
That said, the university had zero right to remove them from the campus simply because of the policies they supported. Minorities are not immune to criticism or encountering people who see things differently than they do simply because they are offended.
Colleges are supposed to be a place where the free exchange of ideas is encouraged. If you shut down those who support different ideas than you do, no matter how reprehensible you find them or how much you disagree with them, you are clearly violating their First Amendment rights.
If others get aggressive or violent, it is the people getting aggressive or violent that are in the wrong. It’s pretty basic, but so many people let their emotions cloud their common sense and then make excuses for their behavior.
There are no winners or heroes in this story. Everybody is wrong in a different way, and everybody should go sit on their beds and think about what they did. This is what we do with 4-year-olds that need to learn a lesson. If you act like a 4-year-old when you are an adult, you deserve 4-year-old treatment.

Tip of the day for finding purpose in your life
Recognize your strengths and talents
We all have strengths and skills that we’ve developed over our lifetimes, which help make up our unique personalities. Yet some of us may be unsure of what we have to offer.
If we need help, a survey like the VIA Character Strengths Survey can be useful in identifying our personal strengths and embracing them more fully. Then, you can take the results and think about how you can apply them toward something you really care about.
But it can also be helpful to ask others—teachers, friends, family, colleagues, mentors—for input. In the Purpose Challenge, students were asked to send emails to five people who knew them well and to pose questions like:
What do you think I’m particularly good at?
What do you think I really enjoy?
How do you think I’ll leave my mark on the world?
Adults can do this if they need feedback, too—either formally or informally in conversation with trusted others. People who know you well may be able to see things in you that you don’t recognize in yourself, which can point you in unexpected directions. On the other hand, there is no need to overly rely on that feedback if it doesn’t resonate. Getting input is useful if it clarifies your strengths—not if it’s way off base.
