American Thinker Takeaways, May 13, 2026

Today's topics are: ·      0:00 Introduction ·      0:16 Islam's sado-sexual culture ·      10:52 How America is doing in Iran and China ·      21:47 The reasonable reason for halting redistricting in South Carolina ·      26:43 A society cannot be structured around damaged people First, I examine the dueling reports about the unspeakable crimes Arabs committed against Jews on October 11 and Nicholas Kristof's blood libel about raped Arabs in Israeli prisons. I'll explain exactly why the former reports are manifestly true and the latter obscenely false. Second, I look at how we're doing vis-à-vis Iran and China. Maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist, but I think all is well under Trump's management. Third, before people get their knickers in a twist about the fact that the South Carolina legislature is dragging its heels on redistricting, there's reasonable thinking going on there. Fourth, and last, based on people I know and know of, a reminder that a society cannot organize itself around its most damaged members, no matter how sad their lives are.
