Someone asked whether my anti-woke political views are compatible with basic human empathy. My view: wokeness substitutes true empathy with the mere appearance of it, while fostering actual division in its place. A productive exchange last night.

I talked a bit about the relationship between Ireland, the U.S. and the world in a new documentary broadcast on Irish TV last night. My view, for what it’s worth: Irishness shouldn’t be a narrow thing. Our history can be a path to empathy and solidarity with others.

There are many Woke Right "Very Fine People" lies about me out there, and one of the biggest is that I hate Christians. Woke Right heel Joel Webbon preached it in his church last Sunday, in fact. Listen for yourself to my actual view as I shared it with Winston Marshall.

"I've got a lot of empathy for J.D. Vance here asking for patience...I was talking to my partner last night and I asked her for patience. I'm trying to work on having a better personality...I'm not all the way there yet right now." ...And maybe that's how we should interpret JD's views on the economy.

Sen. Fetterman says he’s proud to stand with Israel, warning anti-Israel and anti-Semitic views are becoming increasingly common among candidates on the left: “I’m proud to stand with Israel, whether I’m the last Democrat standing on this issue or not. I’m going to continue to support Israel, and I’m going to call out what I’m seeing across the country in these races. You have candidates who are actively trying to cram as much anti-Israel sentiment—and, in my view, anti-Semitism—into their platforms as possible. And these are the kinds of candidates who are winning right now. Whether it’s a Nazi tattoo or someone attending a pro-Hamas rally on October 8, just one day after the October 7 massacre, and celebrating those events, you have to look at the people they associate with and the circles they move in. Look at the things Mamdani’s wife has liked on social media. Look at the messages and viewpoints being promoted. In my view, many of these positions are intensely anti-Israel and intensely anti-Jewish.”

With Bengal blocking BSF border land acquisition, and a mere 4,500 illegal Bangladeshis out of 20 million legally deported in the last 10 years, we are hurtling towards a demographic catastrophe. My views, on the challenges confronting Narendra Modi's new Demography Mission:

Broad strokes of my world view. I believe in becoming resilient. I also believe in social change and making the world a better place. But in my humble opinion, it starts with the person you see in the mirror! Good night everyone! #mythoughts #rant

During the course of my 40 minute interview on Palestinian TV which was aired with an Arabic voice over to the Palestinian people on prime-time television last night, I was asked whether I felt threatened or intimidated by the Israelis who had accused me of incitement, being anti-semitic and supporting terror as a consequence of my views, rhetoric and advocacy against the genocide that is taking place in Gaza. My response is in the clip below. The full text of the entire 40 minutes of the English version of the interview will be released on YouTube and other social media platforms later.

🚨🇺🇸 ELON REDEFINES “DEEP EMPATHY,” AND IT MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE Elon is pushing back on the modern rebrand of empathy, arguing it’s been hijacked to excuse policies that hurt innocent people. The point is sharp: when repeat offenders are cycled back onto the streets, the people who suffer aren’t abstractions, but victims who never get press conferences or hashtags. Empathy that ignores consequences isn’t compassion… it’s a feel-good slogan with a body count: “We want to have empathy for our fellow human beings, and of course we want to… but we need to have empathy that is deep, not shallow. Deep empathy is caring about the victims of the criminals. So why do we have repeat violent offenders released on the streets, often with no bail? It’s crazy. They prey upon innocent people, and our streets are not safe. How can America be the greatest country in the world, and we don’t even have safe streets?” Source: Lacey, Elon Musk

Hosting loud events in Historic #Jeddah on a Friday night does not seem like mere passing entertainment; rather, it reflects a direction that competes with the cultural character of the place and weakens its historical presence under the banner of modernity.

In the lead-up to the #2024election, #MichelleObama cautioned the nation about the importance of leadership—not with catchy slogans, but by sharing her own experiences. She emphasized the significance of character, empathy, truth, and the tangible effects of those in power. Reflecting on her message, it was not filled with theatrics; rather, it was thoughtful, nurturing, and deeply concerned for the values of democracy, societal norms, and human dignity. #History often clarifies which warnings were mere political rhetoric and which were genuine expressions of concern. #FAFO #Wetriedtotellya

Asghar Farhadi on the one common theme in all his movies: "If you summarize all of my movies, you get to that one word, empathy. All of these movies try to make you empathize with all those characters. ‘Empathize with them’ doesn't mean that you give them the right to do what they're doing. Maybe you give them the right to do some of their stuff that they're doing and you don't give them the right to do some other stuff. But from the emotional point of view, you are with them. And that's what we call empathy." ("The Director Who Makes Empathy Thrilling", Zach Baron, GQ, 2022) Happy 54th birthday, Asghar Farhadi! Clip from: A Separation (2011) Director: Asghar Farhadi

I am incredibly grateful for the volunteers who stood by me with empathy and love during the 49 weeks of searching for my son in the Sonoran desert. Your support has meant the world to me, and I will always cherish it. May GOD bless every one of you. You are my extended family.

A restaurant visit turned tense after a man asked for an 8-month-old baby to be removed for making noise, claiming he had sensitive ears. The request sparked backlash, with many questioning whether it’s realistic to expect silence in public spaces where families are present. The moment reignited debate around patience, empathy, and balancing personal comfort with the realities of shared public environments.

The influencers in the Woke Reich are brainwashing their followers into becoming nihilistic violent extremists. In this clip that I reacted to last night on Loomer Unleashed, an unhinged lunatic violently defended Candace Owens Candace Owens while screaming vile anti-Jewish slurs into the camera and viciously attacking Erika Kirk Erika KirK with profanity. This is exactly what happens when Woke Reich influencers from Podcastistan manufacture consent for political violence and downplay assassinations as conspiracies. When millions of viewers are fed this deranged propaganda and forced to watch it on their timelines due to rage bait incentivizing social media algorithms, it normalizes a terrifying culture of street vigilantism where political grievances are settled with violence!
