When pro-Palestinian activists chant “globalize the intifada,” Bondi Beach is what they want. A father-son Islamist terror team has massacred 15 Australian Jews celebrating Hannukah.

Australia’s Prime Minister went on television to address his nation about the lessons of this terrorist attack. He promised to increase gun restrictions in a country that had already effectively disarmed its population. Anthony Albanese also declared that the biggest threat to Australians is “right wing extremism.”

This is utter nonsense. The terrorists had a license to own and carry the weapons they used to slaughter Jews on the beach. At least one of them had come to the attention of Australian counter-terrorism agents for contact with radical Islamist terrorists. The Australians not only chose to do nothing about that, they refused to disarm them.

The greatest threat to Western security is not “right wing extremism.” It is radical Islamist terrorism and the globalized intifada.

Jamie Dimon—the head of JPMorgan Chase—just announced that he’s leading a $1.5 trillion initiative focused on investing in national security.

Dimon has assembled a council of big names to advise on where to invest the bank’s own money in defense industries, as well as others money and in the hopes to spark others to follow their lead.

We wish him well.

This sort of recognition of the actual threat from the Chinese Communist Party, and their People’s Liberation Army and Navy is great news.

Better news is that a new generation of business titans like Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Palmer Lucky and of course Elon Musk have been aware of the threat to the freedom of the seas for many years and their initiatives and companies are already about the work of next generation weapons systems we need to overcome the advantage China has built up via sheer numbers and massive war making capacity.

It’s time to get serious and put money where the initiative has to be.

A billionaire tech executive has just made one of the most strategic philanthropic gifts in American history.

Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, and his wife Susan are giving more than six billion dollars to seed saving accounts for 25 million American children 10 and younger. Each child will receive 250 dollars.

This won’t lift families out of poverty. But it will offer 25 million children a concrete reason to master financial literacy—and their own stake in America’s economic system

Generosity is always noble. But too often, giving on the left relies on top down programs that breed dependency. The Dells have taken the opposite approach: a bottom up investment that nurtures ownership, hope, and a sense of belonging.

This is philanthropy with a heart— and a brain. America owes the Dells a true debt of gratitude.
