Over 500 people packed Union Station on Tues Sept. 16 for the Annual Lamplighter Awards Dinner in support of American Friends of Lubavitch (Chabad) in Washington, DC. The magnificent event honored Dr. Alex C. Karp, Cofounder and CEO of Palantir. The Leadership Award was bestowed upon Hon. Hakeem S. Jeffries, Democratic Leader of the US House of Representatives.

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden in 2023.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

I would start offloading any material from digital infrastructure that you want to keep intact whether that is written material or video or audio that anyway maybe be seen as anti-fascism because it is going to be destroyed in the near future

Walt Disney’s Uncle Scrooge #10 (1955). On the cover, Scrooge is pouring a bag of coins into a machine that is separating them into the appropriate denomination (one cent, five cents, ten cents, etc…). He looks down happily as the money comes out.
