Open Letter to the Daily Wire

Get Mr. Boreing to Read This!

Update: Oops! Left out Ben Shapiro at @benshapiro but sent him X note as well.

Hello Mr. Boreing,

The fallout over Candace Owens’ departure from the Daily Wire continues. I cancelled my Daily Wire subscription not out of anger, but out of disappointment and lament. I am sharing the link to this article with the following on social media X as well as my Substack followers, knowing perfectly well, I will receive no interview request or response from any of them, including yourself. I am of too little importance, but I would at least appreciate an acknowledgment but such acknowledgments are highly unlikely to arrive.

Tropes and dog whistles? Who do these accusers really think they are fooling by feeding paranoia? Mr. Boreing, you state you are the “god-king” of the Daily Wire. Well, Mr. Boreing, if you respect the ideas of a republic, perhaps you will dispense with the idea of a king and understand what you did wrong.

If Owens was saying questionable things, why not have a debate or discussion? Where was the discussion? I understand her Jewish critics, but why not debate? You have all the technology to do so, but instead, you allowed those who hated her to use ad hominem attacks over two years to knock her out instead of debating and discussing the concerns she brought forward. Were you fair in your employment of her on this matter?

There are understandable and logical historical divisions between American Jewish Communities and Black American Protestants and this division is broken up by generations. Most Black Americans are descendants of slaves, some going back to colonial times. Many Jewish Americans also have heritage going back to colonial times but many came much later. Both groups need to discuss such divisions.

The Quakers, a Christian Protestant group, are what make Americans exceptional for they believe everyone has a soul, and the soul has no race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, or creed. To them, if you can read the Bible, you must be free. The individual has complete sovereignty over their soul. The Quakers, through their meetings, set the example to everyone of what civil engagement should be in a republic: a government of, by, and for the people. No monarchy need apply. Through William Penn, they set the template for the most powerful and prosperous Republic the human race has ever known.

American Quakers first made a statement against slavery in 1688 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1688_Germantown_Quaker_Petition_Against_Slavery). Sadly, the document went missing for over 140 years but I digress yet the ideas were in the public air. Dismiss this as much as you will try, the American Jewish communities did not have strong advocates against slavery and were slave owners in the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s centuries. This is not to assign fault or blame but to state a fact and address a grievance, or perhaps grudge, Black American Protestants have and why they are inspired by Christianity and have a long distrust of Jewish people.

At the same time, the Quakers persisted in bringing down slavery. Before the Bill of Rights, before the US Constitution, the Continental Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance -- forbidding slavery. The end result was an exodus of people from slave states to free states: what could reasonably be called ‘white flight”.

The point of telling you this is to show you the great American Christian Protestant efforts against slavery and to highlight the need to focus on anti-Semitism on the left instead of the supposed anti-Semitism on the political right, as the leftists support a Palestine State, a foolish and idiotic idea. As for the Black American community, some Jewish organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League have merely fueled partisan discontent in Black American communities such as supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, instead of engaging in patient explanations of what is wrong with inflammatory and false anti-Jewish rhetoric.

As for Israel and US foreign policy, Matt Walsh and Candace Owens are wrong about their isolationist positions. The United States is way too big to play absentee landlord. Which is worse? Global policeman or absentee landlord? Somehow, Americans need to find a balance for if we shrug from our abilities on the world stage, many more malevolent forces will arise, surrendering the world to despots and horrendous cannibalistic poverty.

Right now, a murderous, raping, kidnapping, hostage-taking, religious extremist cult still holds hostages. With this problem, those objecting to Owens are being pathetically petty to complain about tropes, dog whistles, and whatnot. If the sayings such as `Christ is king!”, “100 percent”, and the “OK” symbol are racist, may I suggest you stay in bed and never leave it? Such dystopian paranoia fertilizes nothing but futility and the graveyard. Is a person anti-Semitic if they mow their lawn on the Sabbath? Get real.

As to the current war, Israel must defeat and eviscerate Hamas by any means necessary just as the US did in the Dakota War, and like in World War 2, demand unconditional surrender, and let it be done by the rule of law. This does not mean Israel should not take time to respect the victims of the war. From Dresden to Hiroshima, Americans understand this. And such concerns are in my family as my father was a World War 2 and Purple Heart veteran. Confederate General Robert E. Lee made it clear, “It is well that war is so terrible as we should grow too fond of it.” Oh, but we tore down the monuments of him and forgot his wisdom. I dare to resurrect him. Remembering the Confederate soldiers is not racism, but the right and humane thing to do, but again I digress.

If you have read this far, you must insist others read this. At all times, we must insist: the individual has a right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of prosperity, even when it brings us great discomfort and difficulties to do so. Two of my ancestors are named “Benjamin Franklin” but have no relation to him. So why the name? Because Franklin said we have a Republic, provided we could keep it that way. Mr. Boreing, a Republic requires a debate, and you failed to provide it. In return, you have my polite, sincere, and absent of ad hominem attacks, my disdain.
