David French: Elon Musk’s antisemitism problem isn’t about free speech

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:12:14 GMT

Despite his loud and frequent protestations, Elon Musk may be the worst ambassador for free speech in America. To understand why, it’s necessary to look at X, the website formerly known as Twitter, which he owns and rules over like the generalissimo of a banana republic. The past several days are of particular relevance.Since the end of last month, the site has hosted a tsunami of vile antisemitic speech. While it’s difficult to peg the cause of any given trend on X, it appears that this latest wave of bigotry might have been sparked by an Aug. 29 meeting between the Anti-Defamation League chief executive, Jonathan Greenblatt, and the new X chief executive, Linda Yaccarino. As Greenblatt posted, the purpose of the meeting was to “address hate” on the platform.What happened next was extraordinary. Almost immediately, a number of notorious antisemitic accounts posted under the hashtag #BanTheADL. Musk boosted the campaign by liking a post by a far-right activist that called for bannin...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is the most serious one we've ever had. Here's the email: Get the latest news, weather, and sports delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. My husband had an affair ten years ago. His infidelity almost destroyed our marriage. We had two young daughters at the time, and it took a separation and years of therapy for us to save what we had. I feel like I made the right choice and for eight years I feel like I have the husband and family that I have always dreamed of. Just last week, my husband shares with me a social media message from his former mistress. She is in hospice and will likely pass in a week. She asked to see my husband. At first, I said absolutely not. But then I had a change of heart. I gave my husband one hour to go and see her. When he came back, he shared that she was all alone, as her parents are both gone and so is her only sibling. He said it was really sad. He asked if he could go back and visit her until ...

Ask Amy: Parents normalize teen’s drinking at home

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:12:14 GMT

Dear Amy: My daughter and son-in-law allow their 17-year-old son to drink alcohol in their home — and not just a sip of wine.They believe that he will become normalized to drinking and not consider it “forbidden fruit” when he goes away to college.Since there is a history of alcoholism in our family, I’m not convinced this is wise.Am I wrong?— Concerned GrandmaDear Grandma: I’m wondering why any parent would want their teen to become normalized to drinking.Surely these parents don’t imagine that their son will enter the binge-drinking atmosphere of the typical college campus limiting his own excess due to the sophistication he’s acquired by being a social drinker at home.(“Sorry, Delta Tau Chi brothers, I’ll pass on that kegger as I slowly sip my fine Merlot.”)If these parents drink at home with their son, that’s their business. But if they think doing this will make him less vulnerable to problems with alcohol outside the home, they’re mistaken.There are very few campus...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Fernando Santos’ position as Poland coach remained uncertain Tuesday after he met with the president of the country’s soccer federation following the team’s poor start to European Championship qualifying.The 68-year-old Santos, who has only been in the job since January after spending eight years as coach of his native Portugal, will hold further talks with Cezary Kulesza this week and no final decision has been taken on his future, federation spokesman and team manager Jakub Kwiatkowski said.Poland, with star striker Robert Lewandowski, is fourth in its five-team European Championship qualifying group — behind Albania, the Czech Republic and Moldova — after losing three of its five games so far.

(CNN) — Beijing afirma que un ciudadano estadounidense encarcelado de por vida en China a principios de este año es un espía condecorado que había trabajado para la inteligencia estadounidense durante más de tres décadas, mientras intensifica una campaña de advertencia a los ciudadanos para protegerse del espionaje extranjero.John Shing-Wan Leung, ciudadano estadounidense de 78 años que también tiene residencia permanente en Hong Kong, fue condenado a cadena perpetua por un tribunal chino en mayo por cargos de espionaje.En ese momento, las autoridades no proporcionaron detalles sobre su caso, excepto que fue detenido por agentes de seguridad del Estado en abril de 2021.Meses después de la sentencia, el Ministerio de Seguridad del Estado, la principal agencia de espionaje civil de China, afirmó en una publicación en redes sociales este lunes que Leung había sido reclutado por agencias de inteligencia estadounidenses en 1989 y recibió lo que denominó una “medalla al mérito” por ...
