Charlie Kirk was right.

I regret that I was less aware of Charlie Kirk before he was assassinated. Sure, I had seen some videos and had heard several people claim that Donald Trump’s 2024 comeback victory was a result of Kirk’s efforts with younger voters. But I did not appreciate his smarts, the breadth of his knowledge, his patience to listen to smug, lefty students who think they are so smart, and his wit. As I watched more videos after his murder, I realized that we lost a tremendous human being. One who, as Steve Jobs described, could make a dent in the universe.

One thing that Kirk said before he was killed was that Jew hatred and antisemitism were “brain rot” or “brain cancer.” Now, I thought that if we ran CT scans on, say, Tucker Carlson’s noggin or that of Piers Morgan, we might see some mushy area of the brain that lacks the proper structure and development typical of other regions. But I finally got what he meant. Antisemitism, like “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and other modern mental conditions, leads to a person making decisions against his own best interest and piles of truth that run counter to his argument. Let’s look at some examples.

Carlson famously stated that he could not vote for the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan, Mike Rogers, even “at gunpoint.” He has thus thrown his support for the Democrat, Abdul El-Sayed.

Carlson has accused Israel and Bibi Netanyahu of every sin under the sun, including killing children who happen to be shooting AK-47s and causing a genocide in a still-growing Gazan population. So Rogers got the thumbs-down from Carlson. But if Carlson were to talk to Rogers, a former FBI special agent out of Chicago, he would see that every non-Israel position that he holds would resonate with the........
