October 7, 2023, like September 11, 2001, was a wake up call that we are in an existential fight with an enemy who loves death. Two pieces published this morning contain clarion calls to wake up and prepare. The first is the transcript of the Bari Weiss Federalist Society’s Barbara K. Olson Memorial speech and the second in the Washinton Examiner is by Daniel Hannan and asks “What if the Palestinians Don’t Want Peace?”. In case you don’t realize it, we are in a fight for our lives, and the sustainment of Western Civilization.
