Even before we knew the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione was politically motivated, many leftists were justifying , celebrating and rationalizing the shooting. There’s a real debate going on in some quarters of the progressive Left over whether slaying CEOs is a bad thing. And it’s unsurprising. Of course, if any MAGA professors or journalists were online publicly defending the killing of perceived political enemies, thousands of wringing hands would be lamenting the menacing rhetoric of conservatism. And rightly so. But the unhinged demonization of the health-insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry and Big Oil are now the norm. A generation of college students has been indoctrinated into believing the profit motive is killing people when the opposite is true. Follow The Post’s live coverage for the latest on the UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer And there’s a clear ideological continuum between those who rationalize the shooting of a CEO and rationalize the murder and rape of Jews by Palestinian terrorists and rationalize the burning down of cities for “social justice.” One expects Mangione’s writing will be largely indistinguishable from what a person hears from elected progressives and pundits. Yet few will ponder why a seemingly rational Ivy League-educated engineer decided to become a hit man. Instead, the public is incessantly warned that white supremacists are gathering in the shadows, readying to spring their coup. So dangerous were these alleged impending “major civil disturbances” in 2023 that the Justice Department created a new category of extremists to “track and counter” the “anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism.” When BLM rioting enveloped the nation, causing billions in damage, destroying thousands of lives, one could barely get anyone in the media to admit it was even happening. To the left, parents who protest school boards over critical race theory and mask mandates are “domestic terrorists,” but people who burn down cities are “mostly peaceful.” The left has been prone to violence since Year Zero. Follow the latest on the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson : In the early 1900s, the United States was awash in communist and anarchist bombings, culminating in the deaths of 30 people on Wall Street in 1920. Most cultural depictions of the ’60s upheavals were of a genteel, peace-loving movement, but it was imbued with extremists, as well. By the 1970s, left-wing terrorist groups such as the Weather Underground were setting off bombs at the Capitol, police stations, the Pentagon and state attorneys general offices. An 18-month period in 1971-’72 saw an amazing 2,500 bombings in the United States by leftist groups. Worse, then as now, violence was often ignored or idealized by the “intellectual” left. When I was young, self-styled socialists would commemorate mass murderers such as Che Guevara or Mao Zedong on T-shirts. Today, feted contemporary public intellectuals such as Ta-Nehisi Coates write bestselling books celebrating terrorism. The late Kathy Boudin, a former Weather Underground member who was involved in the Brinks truck robbery that killed two innocent people, operated Columbia University’s “Center for Justice” for decades. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Angela Davis, widely considered a hero by younger progressives, who not only championed murders and terrorist regimes her entire career but bought two guns used in a courtroom kidnapping-shootout perpetrated by the Black Panthers in 1970, when three hostages and a superior court judge were killed in Marin County, Calif. There is simply no comparable mainstreaming of right-wing extremists. It was James Hodgkinson who walked onto an Alexandria, Va., baseball field in 2018 and opened fire at a Republican congressional delegation. He was a Bernie Sanders fan. Certainly, no reporter ran around the halls of Congress asking every elected Democrat if they were going to lower the rhetorical temperature. Nor did they do so when a left-wing assassin showed up at the house of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, promising to “stop roe v wade from being overturned” by “shooting for 3” justices. After years of hearing the demonizing of the Supreme Court, the man showed up with a Glock , zip ties, duct tape and various other tools. When Paul Pelosi was attacked by a deranged man, the entire media conversation revolved around conservative rhetoric. When we had two attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, most of the Left could barely stop calling him Hitler . None of this is to maintain there isn’t right-wing violence. Of course there is. It’s simply to say that we should acknowledge that a lot of our contemporary political violence emanates from the left. And a lot of it is girded by the hard-left progressive turn in mainstream America’s politics. David Harsanyi is a senior writer at the Washington Examiner. Twitter @davidharsanyi

Another area where fathers may struggle with finding the right balance is in monitoring their daughter's social media activity. With the prevalence of social media platforms and online communication, fathers may feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate the digital world with their teenage daughters. While it's important for parents to be aware of their children's online interactions and set boundaries for internet use, it's equally important to trust and respect their daughter's privacy and autonomy.

Announces Cash DividendThe evolving dynamics of the conflict in Syria present a complex challenge for policymakers and stakeholders involved in the region. As the US deliberates its next steps regarding cooperation with the SDF Alliance and the status of terrorist designations, it is imperative to consider the broader implications of these decisions on regional stability, counterterrorism efforts, and diplomatic relations.
The Sun Devils are in good shape if they win out, with one possible exception.The power struggle between the U.S. and Israel over claiming credit for al-Assad's ouster has raised concerns about the future stability of Syria and the broader Middle East region. Both countries have vested interests in shaping the post-al-Assad era to serve their own geopolitical agendas, which could potentially lead to further instability and conflict in the region.
The issue has ignited a debate over the ethical implications of selectively reducing the number of fetuses in a multiple pregnancy. Critics argue that such decisions should be based on medical necessity and the well-being of the mother and babies, rather than financial considerations. They question the role of healthcare providers in facilitating such procedures and whether adequate support and counseling were provided to the couple.
