Lead:  Is It Time To End the EU?

Elon Musk is calling for an end to the European Union.

There are two rational ways to look at this.

1. He’s got a point. The EU makes the lives of working people harder, more expensive, and less free. Only the truly naive would say that Brussels improves the lives of ordinary people.
2. The last time Elon Musk made rational points about government, it ended badly. Well-intended politics usually do.

The context of his call to shut down Brussels comes after the European Union fined X $140 million under its Digital Services Act. This is an authoritarian law passed two years ago that hands unelected bureaucrats unprecedented power over online communication.

The EU alleges that X failed to comply with key provisions of the Act. But we can see right through this. This isn’t about “implementation” or “safety.” It is about censorship. The EU doesn’t even try to hide its bias when it comes to X.

In 2023, Brussels commissioned a so-called “disinformation monitoring start-up” called TrustLab to produce a report on Twitter. TrustLab, which has documented ties to the CIA, claimed the platform was flooded with “Russian disinformation.” Yet the report never identified a single account linked to Russia. Not one. The conclusion was predetermined; the evidence didn’t matter.

This comes at an important time. According to Elon Musk, X is now the number one news source for people in most EU nations. That stands to reason. Mainstream news in Europe is shockingly terrible, even compared to American media.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and other U.S. politicians condemned the EU’s fine, arguing that X was being punished “for not engaging in censorship.” And he’s right. X censors plenty but less than most other platforms and less at the demands of world governments. They did that during the Biden Administration and promised not to do it again and that alone makes it a target.

This is not a regulatory dispute. It’s political. The Digital Services Act is being wielded as a weapon to pressure a private company into policing speech the way the European Union prefers. The message to X, and to the rest of the world, is clear: adopt our censorship or pay the price.

This is one of oh-so-many ways that the European Union squeezes freedom from the lives of its citizens. If you’re interested in how I gained this perspective as a resident of the EU for more than six years, you can watch my speech about it here.

The EU should — and likely will — come to an end one day, but it won’t be because of Elon Musk, who isn’t even a citizen of the bloc. The people of Europe will have to decide for themselves how much authority they’re willing to surrender to Brussels before they choose a different path.

The question is how. How can the people of Europe decide anything freely when Brussels has every member state in a political chokehold?

I only see two rational possibilities:

1. Invoke Article 50 and leave the EU (the Brexit path);

2. A financial or political crisis collapses the center (the Soviet Union/Rome path).

I don’t have confidence that EU nation-states have the courage to do number 1, so realistically, number 2 looks like the EU’s slow, agonizing fate. Not even Elon Musk can save them.

A group of more than 1,000 American Christian priests and pastures were sent to Israel last week to become “Ambassadors” even though the Bible is extremely clear: allegiance belongs to God, not governments.

How does a Christian square this? If a pastor is being trained, funded, groomed, or ideologically shaped by a government, that pastor is: compromised, politicized, no longer spiritually independent, and no longer serving Christ. Watch Father Turbo Qualls, an orthodox Christian, respond.

What’s Trending?

Dick Van Dyke is trending because he is about to turn 100 this weekend.

Don Mattingly is trending because the former Yankees first baseman was not voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, even though many people think he deserved it. Former San Francisco Giant Jeff Kent was voted in despite once breaking his wrist while allegedly doing a wheelie on a motorcycle, a clear violation of his contract. He claimed the injury happened while he was washing his truck, and because there was never definitive proof otherwise, he was never punished.

Katy Perry is trending because she made her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau public on Instagram. Fine by me. I’ve never seen two faker people so it’s a match.
