As a Jew, it is deeply stressful to wake up to various anti-Semitic headlines—whether it is smearing feces on synagogues in Queens or seeing yet another monument defaced. It is clear there is a coordinated campaign to scare, demoralize, and torment Jewish people, with the ultimate goal of driving us out of everywhere we reside, including Israel. Essentially, it is a campaign of genocide. At the very same time, a terror campaign is being waged against the United States by Iran; they shamelessly declare their intent to take out our president, displaying it openly on their buildings.

While all this is occurring, we face the relentless march of AI. I have no doubt that AI will fundamentally transform the economy and render most jobs unnecessary. The masses will require food, shelter, security, and governance; they will not simply be able to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.” Simultaneously, rogue terrorist groups—ranging from small cells to vast networks—are operating independently and in conjunction with state actors to seize power and tyrannize anyone in their way.

We face genuine problems: health crises, spiritual decay, and a wide array of other issues. When we try to confront them, the question becomes: do we listen to the idiots on X—even if they are “senior advisors” to the president—or do we use common sense and turn away from those who peddle nonsense and champion garbage priorities, like “freeing the Tate brothers”? I mean, seriously—is that what we care about?

We need to get back to addressing actual issues and helping real people. I do not care what your ideology is; we need to come together as Americans. This is ridiculous.
