Biden/Harris Regime Preps Post-Election Revenge on Israel

“Space for more confrontational policies vis-à-vis the Israeli government.”

Whoever wins on Election Day it won’t be Joe Biden who will head off to join Jimmy Carter in senile infamy or his top administration members who won’t be likely to stay on no matter which way the election turns out.

And the administration is taking it in the noble spirit for which it’s known for, that is to say it’s going to follow in the footsteps of the Obama administration (and plenty of the perps are veterans of Hussy) and avenge the outcome on the Jews. (Hey it’s a popular response for thousands of years. So why not?)

Joe Biden claims that his real priority is a moonshot cure, but it seems like the admin’s real priority is to attack Israel.

The nearly three-month period from the November 5 presidential election to the January 20 inauguration will come with additional “political flexibility,” which will allow space for more confrontational policies vis-à-vis the Israeli government, said the current US official.

The list of steps US President Joe Biden could take would be longer if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election since she is less likely to reverse them, a former senior US official explained. The official added that Harris would also be shielded from any political backlash of such moves due to them being seen as part of her predecessor’s legacy.

The former senior US official acknowledged that certain steps would be less likely taken if former president Donald Trump wins the election because he would be able to roll them back upon returning to office.

The wish list includes sanctioning members of the Israeli government, sanctioning even more Jewish groups and cracking down on Jewish products coming out of territory claiming by Islamic terrorists. Also there are plans for more limitations on weapons and this genius scheme to reopen a terror consulate in Jerusalem.

The former senior US official said the White House could dangle one last visit from Biden to Israel to participate in the corner-stone laying ceremony for the yet-to-be-built US embassy compound in exchange for Jerusalem lifting its opposition to reopening the consulate.

I understand the admin blaming Israel for everything because they’re radicals and terror simps, I’m baffled as to why they would think that the Israeli government (or any government on earth) is desperate for a Biden visit, let alone willing to sell out their national capital to have Biden come in to help the terrorists.

Unless I’m completely misreading this and sending Biden to Jerusalem is meant to be some kind of a threat.

But joking aside, this is a part of why Israel has stepped up its campaign. It knows that it has until Election Day to make a substantive impact before the full rage of the sore losers in the D.C. regime can be unleashed without worrying that a crackdown on Israel will make a few thousand Jewish voters in Pennsylvania realize that this administration hates Israel far more than it does any of the Islamic terrorists it’s fighting against.

Dem California Governor Newsom signs law banning local governments from requiring voters to present Voter ID

Gavin Newsom passed a law preventing local jurisdictions from establishing local laws that require residents present identification to vote.

California has the most porous border in the country.

Elon Musk compares Newsom to ‘The Joker’ after voter ID requirements banned in California

The new law was in response to Huntington Beach passing a voter ID amendment in March

By Michael Dorgan Fox News

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed legislation banning local governments from requiring voters to present an ID at the ballot box in order to cast a vote – a move which sparked backlash from Elon Musk, who branded Newsom as “The Joker.”

“Wow, it is now illegal to require voter ID in California! They just made PREVENTING voter fraud against the law,” Musk wrote on X late Monday. “The Joker is in charge.”

The bill was passed by the California Assembly in August after being introduced earlier in the year by state Sen. David Min, a Democrat. Newsom signed the bill into law on Thursday.

The new law was in response to the beachside city of Huntington Beach passing a voter ID amendment, Measure A, in March with the support of a majority of residents which would allow the city to require voter identification, increase in-person voting sites, and monitor ballot drop boxes in local elections. The measure won at the polls in March with 53.4% approval, county election data shows.

But Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber challenged Huntington Beach’s voter ID law, which would have amended the city’s charter to allow voter ID requirements by 2026.

In their lawsuit, Bonta and Weber argued that the city’s voter ID law “unlawfully conflicts and is preempted by state law.”

California is one of 14 states that does not require voter ID at the polls, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures

A Short and Partial List of Common [Marxist] Terms and a Translation to Reality

This is a post I have wanted to make for a long time. A Marxist to English dictionary, even if its only half a page. The point of it is to understand how to do it much more than just exposing the specific terms we chose as exemplars. Understanding the principles and methods of Marxist dialectical terminology is critical if you want to have any chance of seeing outside the Matrix.

Communism is not much more if anything at all, than a system for attacking and destroying Western civilization at every level at which Western Civilization operates and exists. More than we are even aware of. Every aspect of our nature from our forms of reasoning and cultures as well as all institutions and professions which support our systems. From medicine to engineers, pilots to teachers etc.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals is an excellent manual on how to use orthodox Marxist methods adapted to the early 20th century. And a lot of those methods can be said to be a subset of Critical Theory.

At one level, critical theory is really simple. It is just criticizing everything about the West. Dishonestly, partially honestly, meaning spinning a real thing into something totally other than it really was to make the West, and especially the US look bad, or even honest criticism in an emergency, so to speak. Meaning when a narrative attack isn’t available. But in nearly all cases, Critical Theory is about a fictionalized version of the target and then a critical theory attack on that fiction.

It is because of this that we noticed that the media would sustain a rabid feeding frenzy over any non-white person killed by police either due to no fault of the police, like with George Floyd, or where the person who was shot richly deserved it as they were in the process of committing a violent crime. Even more importantly, that when a person who could be labelled as a black person was killed by police for reasons that were likely genuinely racist, there was little to no media and certainly no major protests or riots.

And this is 100% sensible when one understands that the idea is not to make the system better, but to destroy it altogether. 

When people protest a real problem there is a solution that makes things even better than they were before. But when the problem is synthetic, the solution the rioters want, defund the police etc. is the only option on the table.

Therefore, when we look at the way we are forced to look at race relations now in the West, and particularity the USA, we can see and understand it as a product of :

Critical Race Theory. A critical theory attack on the West by attacking people of European ethnicity, or “white people” as guilty of any number of things for which they have no connection and in many ways no-one ever was guilty as the history is usually partly or fully fictionalized. Certainly the context will be adjusted for the best effect of the Critical Theory attack.

The communists now in control of the schools are becoming more bold now and use the term, Critical Race Theory more openly. But that is what it is. A branch of Hegelian dialectics as interpreted by Marx and refined by the Frankfurt School tactician, Alinsky. This process of abstracting and expanding Marxist methods of attack on the West continue to this day. And the people fighting for the West for the most part do not understand the nature of the attack, and spend all their resources arguing the reality behind the critical theory attack, if they even get that far. In other words, arguing the surface specifics of a given narrative’s claims, while the critical theory attack does its damage.

As we often say, with the left, the point is never the point. The Revolution is always the point.

[I think I first heard that from Diana West but she may have been quoting someone else]

Let’s have a look at a few more terms:

Multiculturalism — Critical culture theory.

Like BLM is a Marxist expression of critical theory by creating a dialectic confrontation between black and white people with the intention of destroying both ultimately, but ‘white’ people first, Multiculturalism is exactly the same. Bring in people from different cultures. Pretend to the host country that bringing in different cultures really just means interesting new recipes and sophisticated new arts and entertainment. But the reality of Multiculturalism means giving special protection to people from outside the host country to ‘protect their cultures’ while removing basic, even fundamental rights to the citizens of the host country, such that no opposition to what is taking place can happen without the objector being either directly guilty of a crime such as ‘hate speech’, or adjacent to a crime such as ‘racism’ where ‘racism’ while not always and not in all districts is specifically a crime, it can be dealt with by removing additional rights such as social media use, access to banking or even the right to use of a credit card or even accepting credit cards. So while not a crime, it is indeed punishable.

This happened to Robert Spencer for factual and unimpeachable explanations and descriptions of Islam that make Western peoples aware of it as a threat doctrine. Which it is. In case you haven’t noticed. But in all cases, the term, “multiculturalism’ is one deceptive click away from Critical race theory. The use of fictionalized race history and relations, or truthful ones but spun or cherry picked for a political outcome, rather than information. And the outcome is destruction.

Critical Culture Theory is tearing the west apart and down everywhere. And it has moved to pure oppression in the UK.

Climate Change — Critical Climate Theory

This one required an extra twist. It required moving from science as a method of understanding the universe, to scientism, where Marxist politicians tell you how the universe works. It is a gnostic cult of the White Coat. Science is never done by consensus. Politics and religion are, and in the case of communism, even that consensus is imposed from above. With Global Warming/Climate Change, we saw experts we never heard of, explain a consensus in the ‘science’ which has ‘already been done’ to explain why the measures being taken to ‘combat climate change’ cannot be questioned. You know, cause so many scientists agree. Real scientists, ones who explain their methods and publish their research get cancelled. Anyone who wants to see an excellent example of this should watch The Cloud Mystery. This is a short documentary by two Danish scientists who actually have a hypothesis on climate and temperature, and then prove it with data going back to Galileo’s first use of the telescope to study the Sun. Then watch the linked video of an explanation on how a Frankfurt School 2nd generation member, Jurgen Habermas, created the framework around which a small minority can impose their will on the majority using ‘consensus’ for political purposes.

Below, a truly amazing example of how Canada’s CBC COMINTERN broadcaster does exactly this. They make any refutation of Critical Climate Theory into hate speech as per Habermas. Have a listen after watching the linked video on Habermas.

But what makes it critical climate theory is its use to destroy Western industry. Communists picked the one marker that all industry in the world produces, CO2, and claimed it is a pollutant and claimed it as an existential threat to the World. Unless it is produced in China, North Korea, or anywhere else already socialist/communist. Then it is not to be mentioned. Like all Critical theory, it is meant to be destructive to Western Civ. And this one is majorly destructive. After all, if it was a real threat the people agitating over it would meet on Zoom and not fly private jets all over the world, and purchasing multi million dollar beach front homes for themselves where they themselves had saiid would be deep under water already from “global Warming”. And we would be building nuclear power plants as fast as we could. Even people who have real or exaggerated concerns about the safety of modern nuclear energy plants, will admit that the risk is not an existential risk to all life on Earth as they claim climate change to be. So in other words, it is a fake problem with real solutions that are avoided, in order to get the solutions they want, which is our destruction.

SOGI (Sexual orientation and Gender Identification) also Gender affirming Care — Critical Sex theory.

Destroying how people think of each other in terms of sexuality is a major victory for communists. After all, without reproduction, we go extinct. And yes, that is a victory for communism by some interpretations of communist theory. There are leftist groups across the West now that actively and openly seek human extinction. But as a rule, just for white people. Or more accurately, anyone who supports Western Civilization of any race or colour, as they will be labelled as white people and treated as such or worse by the left. Larry Elder as one clear example.

To the point though, destroying people’s ability to reproduce using drugs and surgical mutilation is a bonus. The main purpose is to destroy how Western people view each other sexually. This one deserves more than its own essay. It deserves a book.

Some point form proofs though, are that China made an official announcement, and passed a law, that no effeminate men can be seen  on TV. In other words, Critical Race Theory is a destructive dialectical weapon against the West and China needs to protect itself from it in case it comes back home. Like Covid.

Below is a truly excellent video on the communist origins of Critical Sex Theory:

DEI — Critical institutional theory, or Critical Merit Theory

The whole purpose of DEI is to destroy all the institutions we have. Stephen Coughlin feels it is primarily to destroy our military capability. And it can and it will. But it has already destroyed many other professions. The Merit principle is one of the absolute supporting pillars of Western Civ. The idea that the person best suited for a job and best at it, gets the job, not only enables things to be done well, but advances all of our sciences and arts throughout the history of Western Civ. One can spot quickly the number of positions in leftist governments that use DEO hires, or what we used to call, “Affirmative Action”. An older term used as a disguise for Critical Merit theory. This is not to say that people other than white males are incapable. In fact it has nothing to do with white males. DEI is about making sure the people picked for important and responsible positions are incapable. They would definitely pick a white male for a job requiring training and coordination if the person they picked had advanced Parkinson’s and Alzheimers. In fact they picked one for President of the United States.

The Merit principle also is the best example of actual fairness in human history. Everyone understands when someone who has worked harder, is more dedicated, more talented or simply better at a job gets the job. It was the replacement of nepotism. In fact some historians argue that Lincoln was actually shot by a man who felt that he deserved a well paid and prestigious civil service job by nepotism and was passed over for someone of greater merit. Out of resentment, he shot Lincoln. DEI manufactured the idea that all who are good or accomplished are oppressors, and therefore not deserving. That achievement is cheating. Taking responsibility is privilege and so on. Over the course of the revolution in the West during the past 10 years or so, we see countless examples of Critical merit theory. From Math is Racist to reading to your children is racist.

This is only a partial list. Comments are welcome with other phrases used as disguised attacks on us all.

The first and perhaps last Iran-Israel war

Iran declared war in 1979 as one of the first acts after the Islamic Revolution. Along with declaring the aim of bringing about the demise of the United States, it embarked on a war of extermination against Israel. It has been relentless in building the capacity over the intervening five decades to realize its objectives. We are now seeing the start of the final, acute phase of that war in which Iran promises to exterminate Israel, and Israel – fifty year later – has moved to try to destabilize the Iranian regime.

In recent years, Iran persisted in developing its nuclear and ballistic programs to establish itself as a regional power to threaten not only Israel, but other continents. It also built a robust network of proxies to attack Israel, which it dubbed the “ring of fire.” Recently, it has also cultivated distant allies, such as Venezuela, Columbia, Chile, Brazil to begin to leverage gangs and drug pipelines to build a more limited version of the “ring of fire” to bear down on the United States itself.

On October 7, 2023, Iran activated the Middle Eastern network of proxies in the bone-chillingly bloody and depraved invasion. This represented a new phase in Iran’s war against Israel, since it signaled the beginning of what it believed would have been an acute, ongoing war of attrition on eight fronts rather than periodic along alternate acting fronts. This was Iran’s first miscalculation of Israel. Israel realized this war of attrition was in fact the final stage of an existential attack Iran was launching. As a result, it went beyond engaging in this war of attrition on Iran’s terms and embraced instead a war whose strategy was not conflict management, but total victory and defeat of these proxies.

After a series of devastating blows to the key proxy, Hizballah, and the killing of senior Iranian liaison officers to that proxy in Damascus, Iran miscalculated a second time on April 14. It launched the first direct missile assault on Israel from Iranian territory. This transformed the war from one of Israel against Iran’s proxies – a war against the proxy tentacles of the Iranian octopus – in a direct war between Israel and Iran.

This also transformed the war from a long-term war with the proxies into a twilight, direct struggle between the Iranian nation run by a tyranny that seeks to extinguish another – democratic Israel. After April 14, the containment of Iran and its management by deterrence was no longer vulnerable; it has become a showdown in which either Iran or Israel, but not both, would emerge not only as victor but as survivor.

This then led to Iran’s third mistake, or more accurately strategic delusion. It is the same misperception plaguing all of Iran’s proxies – which led to Hizballah’s Hassan Nasrallah to famously dub Israel as a mere, fragile spiderweb easily imploded – and its minions in the West protesting on campuses against the “white” Israel against the “indigenous people of color” of Palestine. The mistake is not that they underestimated Israel’s capabilities, prowess, nor that they misread its messy disunity and internal divisiveness on display almost daily as systemic collapse, but that they internalized their own ideology that Israel is a fake, fragile colonial entity rather than a deeply rooted civilization – one of the oldest and most solid, in fact. Israel has shown that despite its mistakes and setbacks, its internal strength and its “mystic chords of memory” (to borrow from Abraham Lincoln)  transcended that of any of their neighbors, especially their more recently invented Palestinian nemesis.

The cumulative effects of Iran’s miscalculations in this Iran-Israel war came home to roost and took a dramatic turn as a result of the last two weeks. The proxy “ring of fire” — the network of proxies surrounding Israel which Iran built — not only had an aggressive aim to choke Israel to death by initiating a violent war of attrition and isolation, including closing ports and ending international airline’s flying to Israel. It also acted as a defensive deterrent against Israel. The ring of fire — particularly Hizballah — shielded Iran from any potential Israeli proactive action against Iran directly. Indeed, so powerful was the Hizballah tentacle that Israel feared it more than the head of the octopus on Tehran. But the devastation wrought on Hizballah over recent weeks, starting with “Operation Grim Beeper”[1] which incapacitated or killed 5000 of the key commanders at the heart of the organization, after a second, similar blow with the exploding walkie-talkie radios and other electronic means of communication the next day, followed the third day with the airstrike that took out the entire surviving command of its elite ground forces, and then a week later losing its iconic leader, Hassan Nasrallah, overturned Iran’s entire strategy. Hizballah was the strategic linchpin of the proxy network at the center of the ring of fire. It was the greatest threat Israel faced. With its destruction, its deterrent contribution against Israel was erased. Iran was now left fully exposed to the full weight of Israeli power.

Which led Iran to commit its fourth big mistake on the last day of September: again directly attacking Israel, which opened the door for a material Israeli direct counterattack, which Israel had chosen – under great U.S. pressure – not to do in April. The result is that Iran will surely now feel the vulnerability to which it has exposed itself as Israel proceeds without fear any more of either Hizballah’s or Iran’s response. Jerusalem will take the war from the defensive to the offensive against Iran’s regime.

Nor is Iran in a good position to engage Israel. Iran’s strategy depends entirely on manipulation into paralysis of foes who possess far greater raw power. Until now by deterrence and use of a failed will of Israel’s primary ally, the United States, Iran felt it could manipulate Israel and even more so the United States to play by rules that delivered it great strategic advantage and ultimate victory. But a strategy of manipulation depends on facing a predictable adversary. As long as the Untied States and Israel restrained themselves within the rule that Iran had imposed on them, Iran’s far superior strategic acumen and the regime’s talent for strategic manipulation delivered for Iran a ramp leading to triumph. This then led to Iran’s fifth miscalculation: Israel changed the rules after October 7 and became unpredictable for Iran. For Iran, Israel was no longer controllable and restrainable, but a crazed wild man lashing out akin to the way a spraying firehose is flailing and uncontrollable. There is no strategy of manipulation that can harness this flailing firehose, one can only run for over or shut off the water leading to the nozzle. Iran now fears Israel and no longer knows how to handle it or its superior raw power.

⁠Iran has limited options but can be counted on to embark on three strategic responses.

First, it will try to “shut off the water” to the fire hose’s nozzle. This means that it will try to entangle the United States and threaten to raise the specter of a dangerous regional war to such vast and imaginary dimensions — far beyond any which it actually possesses the power to execute — that it unnerves and manipulates the United Stares into imposing a ceasefire, thus saving Iran from Israel’s counteroffensive against it. There already are signs of this strategy’s being implemented as some of the Iranian regime’s proxy voices in the U.S. echo this, such as Vali Nasr on Monday (Sep 29).

Second, Iran fears its own people and needs to frighten them into somehow rallying around the regime. The incompetence and impotence exposed by its proxies and itself in recent weeks threaten a regime whose tyrannical survival depends on projecting internally against its own people an insurmountable image of terror and omnipotence. It needs somehow to rally a people that both despises and begins to lose fear of it. As such, the regime will seek to transform the Iran-Israel war into a part of a great Sunni-Shiite conflagration. It will likely even attack Sunni Gulf Arab states to provoke them to respond and thus to stimulate the existential fears Iranians all harbor in their every fiber of the Sunni Arab threat.

Third, for the same reason of trying in despair to rally their own population which loathes it, Iran’s regime will instigate ethnic divisions in its own country — potentially even with high-profile self-inflicted false flag terror attacks — in order to establish among its populace that the survival of the regime is the sole barrier to the nation’s descending into a bloody internal ethnic civil war.

It is in the American interest – indeed in the interest of Western civilization – that Israel be allowed to press its hard-fought advantages and be allowed to gallop toward victory against the Iranian regime. Unfortunately, the current administration appears incapable of restraining itself from continually sabotaging Israel instead. Even so, Israel proceeds toward that victory, but more laboriously and turbulently than would otherwise be necessary if it had genuine U.S. backing.

And yet, one caveat. Israel should do so in ways that avoid tapping either the Sunni card or the ethic demon. Ironically, Israel’s attacking Iran as the representative of the Jewish people with which Persia and Iran has had a 2,500 years history of alliance and amity – Cyrus returned the Jewish people from Babylonian exile to the Land of Israel and funded the reconstruction of the second Temple – purchases for Israel great popular Iranian support as the agent of their liberation from tyranny as long as it is not seen as doing so in service of Sunni Arabs or ethnic divide-and-conquer schemers.

ROOKE: Four Horsemen Of Harris’s Campaign Apocalypse Have Arrived

Vice President Kamala Harris is experiencing what could be the end of her campaign as four major issues converge simultaneously.

It’s not hyperbole that Harris needs an easy October politically if she wants to win the White House. The race between her and former President Donald Trump is so close that any disruption could result in a last-minute vote surge. Unfortunately for Harris, she is staring down four issues that will be a disaster for her campaign as Nov. 5 approaches.

The least discussed but most important problem facing Harris (and the rest of the country) is the longshoreman port strike that started Oct. 1. It’s likely Americans are just realizing that negotiations that have been going on for months between United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are at an impasse. The promised strike started Tuesday, and workers have vowed to hold out until their wage and automation protection demands are met.

Already, parking lots at major retailers are filled with cars as Americans prepare for massive disruptions to supply chains and a rapid increase in inflationary prices. While Harris can count on the media to demonize these workers as selfish, greedy people looking for a payout, what they aren’t willing to tell the American people is that none of this would be an issue if the Biden-Harris administration had protected American manufacturing so that we didn’t have to rely on foreign countries (who control our docks) to make the products we use every day and longshoremen to unload these products from the docks.

Harris is now stuck between a rock and a hard place. If the Biden-Harris administration does not weigh in on the strike, she might win political points with union workers, but she will have lost the vote of the American family. Should the Biden-Harris administration force port workers back to work as they did with the rail strike, it may negate some economic damage. The harm will still be done, however: Americans should still brace for a pretty hefty economic impact, and Harris should expect blue-collar workers not to show up to vote for her in November.

Either way, the American taxpayer will bear the cost of this fight after four years of Democrat policies causing almost unrelenting inflation that erased the purchasing power of our dollar.

Harris also faces a humanitarian tragedy in the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee and parts of Georgia as the effects of Hurricane Helene continue to unfold. The optics here are terrible. President Joe Biden told Americans that the federal government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had no more support to give the affected areas because they pre-planned a package. Biden and Harris, however, were slow to acknowledge the damage being done by Helene, and neither of them have visited the areas to appear at least a little bit concerned.

Staged photo ops of Harris sitting at command centers in DC aren’t going to be enough. The people on the ground are complaining about the lack of state and federal support. Thousands of people are stuck in their homes with no running water, food, medicine or way out of the disaster — that’s if the flooding and mudslides didn’t annihilate their homes. The death toll will continue to rise, and it seems like this disaster didn’t become an issue for Harris until Trump mentioned it in his campaign speech. Whether this is true or not doesn’t really matter. What matters is that people on the ground feel this way, and Trump is the only candidate to fly to Georgia with supplies and meet with emergency crews for an update on the devastation.

For these voters, the question will be: Where was Harris when we needed her? The answer is that Harris was at a California fundraiser securing cash for her campaign. Harris can only hope the media will help Americans memory-hole her lack of action. Without this safety net, the appearance of callous indifference will turn voters off.

Additionally, immigration continues to be a thorn in Harris’s side. It’s a product of her own making, so she shouldn’t be shocked that it’s looming over her campaign. Still, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) letter sent to Republican Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales in late September states that as of July 21, 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal histories were on ICE’s national docket, with 425,431 convicted criminals not detained. This list includes 13,099 criminally convicted murderers, 2,521 kidnappers, 9,461 sex offenders (not involving assault or commercialized sex), 15,811 sexual assault offenders and 2,200 sex traffickers.

The ICE letter is merely a glimpse of the people who come across the southern border and makes Trump’s campaign statements about foreign countries opening their prisons and mental institutions and sending these people to America ring true. Harris can’t escape from the fact that Biden put her in charge of the “root causes of migration” or that she was dubbed the “Border Czar.” She is now synonymous with open border policies that are wreaking havoc in our country.

And all of this is coming at the worst time for her. Not only does she have just over a month until the Nov. 5 election, but her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is set to debate Trump’s pick, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, Tuesday night. Walz will have to answer for all of these issues. I expect Vance to bring up the longshoremen strike, the Biden-Harris disastrous response to Hurricane Helene and Harris’s open border policies.

While the VP debate has done little to move the needle for presidential campaigns in the past, this year could be different. The two assassination attempts on Trump’s life give new meaning to the duties of the vice president should something happen to the president. Vance and Walz are not just interviewing with the American people for the supporting role. They are trying to prove that should anything happen to Trump or Harris, they are more than capable of taking charge of the country.

Harris can’t afford for this debate to go badly for Walz; in the same way, it would be a disaster should the longshoremen strike implode, the victims of Hurricane Helene speak out against her and the effects of illegal immigration continue to be a problem. Her campaign needs an easy October, but it’s looking like she’s riding into Revelation.

Thomas More Law Center Instrumental in Upending Biden/Harris National Plan to Deter Opposition by ‘Trump Trains’ — A Monumental Victory for Free Speech

ANN ARBOR, MI — It turned out to be a monumental victory for free speech and a monumental disaster for the Biden-Harris camp.  After a two-week trial on September 23rd, a federal jury in Austin, Texas announced its unanimous verdict, dismissing all claims against Dolores Park.  Mrs. Park was represented by the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national nonprofit public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Of the six defendants facing trial, Mrs. Park was one of the five defendants who were totally exonerated by the jury.

Although the defendants may have had different defenses, they were all motivated by one goal — never to submit to the overwhelming resources and the phalanx of 28 attorneys thrown against them. Plaintiffs’ attorneys from Washington D.C., New York, and Texas swarmed the defendants. They included attorneys from the mega law firm Wilkie, Farr & Gallagher that advertised on its website to employ 1,200 attorneys and two liberal organizations, Project Democracy and the Texas Civil Rights Project.

The lawsuit against the defendants was filed by former Texas Senator Wendy Davis, former Kamala Harris staffer David Gins, and bus driver Timothy Holloway. These plaintiffs brought three claims seeking compensatory, nominal, and punitive damages against Dolores Park and the co-defendants, the primary claim being conspiracy to violate the federal Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, and two lesser claims under state law, a violation of the Texas Civil Conspiracy statute and violation of the Texas Civil Assault statute.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys hired six expert witnesses costing them well over $300,000. With the enormous resources expended by the plaintiffs’ attorneys against the defendants and the timing of the lawsuit and jury trial, common sense points to the conclusion that the true goal of the lawsuit was to obtain a jury verdict against all the defendants to deter anyone from voicing public opposition to the Biden-Harris presidential campaign in 2024.

On October 30th, 2020, several dozen cars and pickup trucks displaying American and Trump flags and honking their horns (the so-called Trump Train) followed a 50,000-pound Biden-Harris campaign bus wrapped with the slogan, “Battle for the Soul of the Nation” on the I-35 expressway between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. Dolores Park and the co-defendants followed the bus to show their support for President Trump.

Indeed, plaintiffs’ highly paid traffic expert indicated, after examining 53 videos provided to him by the plaintiffs’ attorneys, he did not see Dolores Park’s vehicle directly in front of the Biden-Harris bus, abruptly slowing down to slow down the movement of the bus, directly behind the rear of the bus, or driving alongside the bus except when passing to leave the expressway at exit 215, a long distance from the Biden-Harris bus and its final destination, Austin.

Park, now 62 years old, the mother of four adult children, and suffering the constant and excruciating pain of Fibromyalgia, has had an interesting career. At the age of 18, she was discovered by Bob Hope, at the time the world’s most famous entertainer. She has sung for Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, opened for many stars, and ultimately became a headliner on the Caribbean Cruise line until she retired eleven years ago.

Most significant to her eternal glory, however, was the fact that during her trial, understanding the controversy, she willingly took the stand and testified that she became passionately pro-life in her mid-twenties when she saw a video of an ultrasound of an actual abortion, “The Silent Scream.” The video was narrated by one of the world’s most notorious abortionists, Dr. Bernard Nathanson. She told the jury, “It’s — the day I knew there’s a baby and they just killed it, period. They killed it. Leg by leg, arm by arm.” The video shows “they reach in and they crush the head.” She continued, “It’s one of those moments where you see something and you just never forget it.”

Since the plaintiffs initiated the lawsuit in June of 2021, the Thomas More Law Center has devoted countless human and financial resources to defend Mrs. Park’s right to free speech. And Mrs. Park has had to endure the exacerbation of her Fibromyalgia and the ignominy of facing the false charges that she conspired to block or stop the Biden-Harris bus, when her only goal was to support Donald Trump, “My pro-life President.”

After the jury’s verdict was announced, one courtroom spectator remarked, “This was truly a David versus Goliath battle.”

“My prayers have been answered. I am truly grateful for the jury’s verdict,” exclaimed Mrs. Park after hearing the jury’s decision.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center commented, “This was an incredible team effort. We were bombarded with pre-trial motions and had to review hundreds of thousands of files before our move to Austin for the actual trial. And not only did the three of us have to move with all our relevant files, we also had to call on our staff in Ann Arbor for logistical support.”

Continued Thompson, “One of the highlights of the trial was the amazing closing argument conducted by Erin Elizabeth Mersino, TMLC’s Chief of Supreme Court and Appellate Practice. Erin was assisted by TMLC’s Orlagh O’Donohue, who electronically coordinated the exhibits for the jury as Erin made her presentation.”

Erin Mersino remarked, “I have been trying cases since 2007 and this was one of the most difficult trials of my career. After pouring all the blood, sweat, and tears into this case that I could for the last several years, it is so wonderful for our client to hear the jury come back in her favor.”

Although the plaintiffs lost their case as to all but one defendant on one claim against one of the three plaintiffs — thereby losing on 17 of their 18 claims — they hurriedly rushed out of the courtroom to the TV cameras to claim victory, albeit hollow and misleading. The jury only returned a verdict in favor of Plaintiff Timothy Holloway, the bus driver, against Defendant Eliazar Cisneros on one claim. Cisneros is represented by attorney Francisco Canseco, who has already motioned for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The Judge is currently considering the motion. If the motion is not granted, Cisneros could appeal the verdict.

Harris-Biden Announce $300 Million to Hamas But ‘Can Do Nothing More’ For Hurricane Victims in North Carolina

President Biden told reporters there was nothing more that he could do for the people of Western North Carolina.

$336 million in additional  assistance for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, according to a US Agency for International Development (USAID) statement seen by Reuters. This aid goes right into the hands of the terrorists. Biden-Harris know this.

Funding terror, halting military aid to Israel, and abandoning the American people. There is no nuance here. The Democrats unwavering on the side of evil.

US to announce over $300 million in aid for Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank today

By Reuters, 30 September 2024, 5:04 pm

The United States will today announce nearly $336 million in additional humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, according to a US Agency for International Development (USAID) statement seen by Reuters.

The funding will enable USAID’s partners to continue to provide humanitarian aid, including food assistance, healthcare, nutrition and other services, according to the statement.

The funding will also support emergency shelter assistance for displaced Gazans ahead of winter, the statement says.

“Over the last year, this conflict has cost the lives of innocent Palestinians and Israelis and has left Gaza and the West Bank in a state of humanitarian crisis and dire humanitarian need,” the statement says.

“The United States continues to call on all parties to agree to a ceasefire deal and an immediate release of hostages, and to allow for the immediate scale-up of humanitarian aid moving into and throughout Gaza.”

‘They’ve Been Exploited By The Democratic Party’: Trump Has Caused Seismic Shift Among Blue Collar Voters

Former President Donald Trump has amassed more support among blue collar voters as Vice President Kamala Harris’ support with the once reliably Democratic group slips.

Trump has made strides among working class voters more than any other Republican candidate in decades, boasting a 31 point lead among trade school graduates and 17 point increase among nonwhite non-college educated voters compared to 2020, according to CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten. Among union voters, a historically blue voting demographic, Harris has managed to hold a nine point lead while her Democratic predecessors boasted a double digit advantage.

“There has always been a great deal of synergy between Trump and this demographic constituency,” Len Foxwell, a Democratic strategist based in Maryland, told the DCNF. “He has certainly made a conscious effort to target that voter base, and now, this traditionally Democratic constituency is at least keeping an open door to Donald Trump.”

Prior to the CNN poll, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters declined to endorse a presidential candidate on Sept. 18. Internal polling from the Teamsters, the largest union in America, revealed that nearly 60% of the workers they represent strongly favor Trump over Harris.

“All of the nation’s working men and women know that President Trump is the candidate looking out for them, which is why nearly 6 out of every 10 Teamsters support his candidacy,” Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Brian Hughes told the DCNF. “He has an economic plan that will allow workers to keep more of the money they earn, increase American manufacturing, and drive down energy costs. Under dealmaker President Trump, American farmers, manufacturers, and auto workers got the best trade deals in history, and he will once again put America First when we send him back to the White House.”

Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien was invited by to speak at the Republican National Convention (RNC) back in July. In contrast, O’Brien was not extended the same offer by the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August.

“The Teamsters thank all candidates for meeting with members face-to-face during our unprecedented roundtables,” O’Brien said in a press release. “Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business. We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries — and to honor our members’ right to strike — but were unable to secure those pledges.”

The Teamsters have endorsed every Democratic nominee for president since Bill Clintonincluding President Joe Biden in 2020.

“By not endorsing Kamala Harris, they’ve given the green light to go vote for Donald Trump,” John McLaughlin, a Trump campaign pollster and CEO of McLaughlin & Associates, told the DCNF.

“We’re seeing a realignment between the institutional wing of the union and the rank and file membership,” Foxwell told the DCNF.

Pollsters like McLaughlin told the DCNF that this shift among working class voters is likely a result of economic hardships under the Biden-Harris administration.

“They’ve been exploited by the Democrat Party,” McLaughlin told the DCNF. “For the people that are surviving paycheck to paycheck, they have no choice but to vote for Donald Trump.”

Inflation has repeatedly polled as a top issue for voters, with rates surging to decade highs under the Biden-Harris administration.

While inflationary costs burden working class Americans, the Biden-Harris administration approved several spending provisions such as the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, which have collectively contributed more than $2 trillion to the federal deficit. The American Rescue Plan, which was passed in March 2021, approved $1.9 trillion in spending, and the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed in August 2022, authorized an additional $750 billion.

In addition to economic factors, political strategists like Foxwell told the DCNF that Trump’s trade policy would “naturally appeal” to working class voters in a way that the Democratic Party hasn’t.

“We’re seeing a realignment of the two parties when it comes to trade policy,” Foxwell told the DCNF. “Trump, who leads the party that was once considered to be the party of free trade and unfettered market capitalism, has adopted positions on issues like trade tariffs that would naturally appeal to a union constituency.” (RELATED: Trump Hammered Voters’ Key Concerns In RNC Speech, Harris Hardly Mentioned Them)

“Meanwhile, ever since the days of the Clinton administration and certainly continuing through the Biden presidency, the Democrats have been leaning more toward free trade,” Foxwell told the DCNF. “So, to the extent that we have a union workforce that is concerned with unfair and unbalanced competition from export markets, Trump’s policies would have a natural appeal.”

Although the Rust Belt states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania typically lean blue, their working class strongholds will prove increasingly consequential heading into November.

These “blue wall” states carry a lot of electoral weight, making them crucial for either candidate if they want to see an electoral victory in November.

In 2016, Trump swept all three Rust Belt states and secured his election against former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In 2020, however, Trump lost in all three states and subsequently lost his reelection against President Joe Biden.

As Foxwell said, Trump has made a “conscious effort” to appeal to key industry workers like the United Auto Workers (UAW) members who were on strike in Detroit, Michigan, in 2023. During his campaign, he attacked Biden’s Green New Deal policies and their potentially negative impact on the auto industry in order to gain their favor.

Trump has also gained ground among trade school graduates, which is a continuously growing demographic. Gen Z has become increasingly involved in trade schools, with enrollments in vocational programs increasing by 16% from 2022 to 2023 according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.

“I think there’s a lot of fluidity in this campaign, despite the fact that the numbers look relatively static at the top,” Foxwell told the DCNF.

“It’s really essential,” McLaughlin told the DCNF. “For Donald Trump’s Republican Party to become a majority, we’re relying on working voters across the country in Michigan and Wisconsin to add to our coalition. And he will win them over not because they make up a majority of the Republican Party, but because Donald Trump has stood up for them.”

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

IDF spokesman: ‘Our war is with Hezbollah, not the people of Lebanon’

Israel’s Third Lebanon War is underway — Here’s what you need to know

Fighting intensifies between Israeli troops and Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border, raising concerns over escalating conflict and civilian safety.

Fighting is underway between Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters along the Israel-Lebanon border.

What is yet unclear: How many will fight, how long they will stay there, how many people will be killed and whether the blazing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, after a year of bloodshed, will cross the tipping point into an all-out war. Also unclear is what it will take to secure Israel’s north enough that civilians who have been evacuated from the region for nearly a year can safely return.

What is clear is that Israel seems intent on striking a decisive blow against a terror group that has, for decades, posed a formidable threat — even in the face of potentially steep costs. Over the past year, Hezbollah has rained missiles on Israel on a near-daily basis, with Israel returning fire.

For all of that time, the conflict seemed like a sideshow compared to the focus of Israel’s military campaign: the grueling war against Hamas in Gaza. But over the past two weeks things have changed: Israel has killed Hezbollah’s leader and several of his deputies; depleted the terror group’s missile stock; and girded its own population for yet another war on its border.

Israelis appear to support a war in Lebanon. But previous invasions into the country have had inconclusive results and cost Israel in terms of the lives of its soldiers and its international standing.

Here’s what to know about Israel’s incipient Third Lebanon War.

Israel and Hezbollah have been fighting for a long time.

Tensions rise with Hezbollah

The first few decades of Israel’s existence saw it fight repeated wars against Egypt and Syria. The past few decades have seen it fight repeated wars against Hamas and Hezbollah.

Hezbollah was founded in the wake of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon. That invasion was aimed primarily at another erstwhile foe — the Palestine Liberation Organization. But soon Israeli soldiers found themselves fighting Hezbollah, an Islamist terror group dedicated to Israel’s destruction.

Israeli soldiers occupied a strip of southern Lebanon until 2000, primarily facing attacks from Hezbollah, which also killed hundreds of American soldiers in two attacks in 1983 on the U.S. Embassy and a military barracks.

Six years later, the two sides clashed again when Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. Israel invaded Lebanon again, but the war is considered a fiasco in Israel: More than 100 Israeli soldiers and hundreds of Hezbollah fighters were killed, as were dozens of Israeli civilians and more than 1,000 Lebanese civilians.

Most importantly, Hezbollah remained intact. The terror group has ignored a United Nations resolution calling on it to withdraw to north of the Litani River, which would have created a buffer in southern Lebanon.

Since then, Hezbollah has been Iran’s most well funded proxy, a force estimated at as many as 100,000 fighters (but with perhaps half that number) and hundreds of thousands of missiles. Its rockets could reach virtually all of Israel.

Since 2006, the group has proven a loyal and useful ally to Iran. Its fighters shored up Bashar Assad’s dictatorial regime in the Syrian civil war, and it has created what has been called a “state within a state” in southern Lebanon. It also has a significant presence in Lebanon’s parliament. On Monday, the New York Times called it the “senior member” of Iran’s so-called “Axis of Resistance” in the Middle East.

Over that time, Israel has regularly bombed weapons shipments to Hezbollah. But until last fall the two sides had refrained from another major conflict.

Hezbollah started bombing Israel on October 8. That was only the beginning.

A day after Hamas invaded Israel, Hezbollah started shelling Israel’s north. The missiles have continued unabated for nearly a year, aside from when Hezbollah abided by the weeklong truce between Israel and Hamas in November.

Israel has bombed Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, and altogether, hundreds of the group’s fighters have been killed, as were dozens of civilians on both sides. The border area in both countries is a no-man’s-land. And with tens of thousands of Israelis from the north living as evacuees in hotels for nearly a year, support for striking a harsher blow against Hezbollah has risen.

A survey last month found nearly two-thirds of Israelis overall support fighting Hezbollah, while only about a quarter support a ceasefire deal with the group.

And Israel seems like it’s heeding that call. The last few weeks have seen a series of eye-popping operations from Israel’s military and intelligence systems: exploding pagers that wounded thousands and killed dozens; strikes on Hezbollah leaders; explosions of Hezbollah weapons depots.

Then, over the weekend, Israel killed the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah. He was the face and embodiment of Hezbollah — its leader for more than 30 years and an archnemesis of Israel. An analysis from the Council on Foreign Relations concludes, “The group has likely been rendered operationally inert — at least for the foreseeable future. Indeed, there are no clear successors to Nasrallah given his unique and unrivaled stature at the top of the movement.”

Yet the group is signaling that it has a lot of fight left. In a videotaped address released Monday, a top Hezbollah official said all of the slain members could be replaced and said the attacks on Israel so far represented a “minimum” effort for the group.

Now Israel is preparing for a ground war. It won’t be easy.

Israel isn’t stopping with Nasrallah’s assassination. Reports on Monday indicated that Israeli forces and artillery are fighting on the border and that troops are massing for an invasion. It has reportedly notified the United States of its plans for a ground operation.

Israeli soldiers have been conducting training exercises on Lebanon’s border for months, in anticipation of a war to clear Hezbollah out of a range where it can shoot anti-tank fire at Israeli towns, removing a major threat. The pager operation also revealed that it has been tracking and plotting against the terror group for a long time. So in a sense, as opposed to when it was caught flat-footed on October 7, Israel’s military may be prepared for fighting in Lebanon.

But as many Israeli combat veterans know from previous conflicts, Lebanon is an unforgiving terrain. It’s mountainous, and, even leaderless, Hezbollah has long been entrenched there. Southern Lebanon is much larger than Gaza, where Israel has been fighting a difficult war for a year — though it has many fewer residents.

“Hezbollah today is far more formidable [than in 2000], and even if it suffered more losses than it felt it could handle, the bulk of its forces could retreat away from the border region and simply return when Israel left, or conduct regular guerrilla attacks at a time of its choosing should Israeli forces stay,” an analysis in Foreign Policy concluded.

There is also the question of what another war will do to Israeli society. Israel sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the front after October 7, with many men spending months away from family and work. Hundreds have been killed in Gaza. While there is broad Israeli support for increased fighting in Lebanon to end the missile fire from the north, it also means another massive call-up of already exhausted Israeli reservists — just as Israelis had hoped to carve out a measure of solace during the High Holidays.

The United States supports Israel. For now.

President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, both defended the assassination of Nasrallah and have continued funding Israel’s military effort. But Biden has also been publicly calling for a ceasefire in the north alongside his so far fruitless efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza.

What will that mean if a Lebanon war drags out? Donald Trump has appeared supportive of Israel’s military efforts but also has an isolationist bent and called on Israel to finish its fight quickly. Harris is already facing pressure from her left flank to reduce or end her support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Many of those same voices, in Congress and beyond, have condemned Israel’s strikes in Lebanon and would no doubt push Harris to cut off support for a Lebanon war.

The United States has also worked for the past year to prevent a broader regional war. If Iran attacks Israel to avenge Nasrallah’s death, that scenario could unfold, turning the Middle East into one large war zone.

Following the strike on Nasrallah, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran that Israel could attack its territory as well. And in remarks on Monday, he suggested that his citizens prepare for another war.

“I would like to stand by our heroic soldiers, conscripts and reservists,” he said. “While we celebrate the new year, may it be a good one, they will continue to defend our country with that same dedication, sacrifice and heroism that they have shown throughout the past year.”

He added, “Finally, I would like to thank all citizens of Israel: The reservists’ wives, the mothers and fathers of our fighters, and the children, for being steadfast throughout such a long period. We are in a war for our very existence. We will unite, go hand-in-hand and defeat our enemies.”

Critically Thinking about “My Body My Choice”

What does that mean — and is that the real question? 

It seems that since each US political party has prioritized one societal issue, citizens should do some Critical Thinking about both of them. My most recent commentary was a Critical Thinking analysis of the US immigration issue (that the Republicans are emphasizing). Now, let’s look at the Dem’s main talking point…

In the recent Presidential debate, Kamala Harris strongly emphasized that women should have a choice over their bodies. Surprisingly, all sides actually agree that (from both a man’s and woman’s perspective)My Body My Choice is what should apply! The difference is a matter of timing.

KEY TERMS —

Before we consider the timing aspect, let’s think about the two key terms involved here: Body and Choice.

Body: As humans we have rights. The US Constitution says we are born with inalienable rights. Where did those inherent rights come from? God. If not then who?

Choice: Two elements are needed for real choice: 1) knowledge, and 2) intellectual maturity. (For example: can a ten-year-old make a legit choice about what house the family should buy and live in? No, because a child lacks both essential elements.)

REPRODUCTION —

From a woman’s point of view, a situation may arise where she has a very important choice to make, as her body is involved. It is whether or not she consents to having a special physical interaction with a man, that might produce a new human being.

If she says NO (or does not have the ability to consent), and it happens anyway — then we have rape. (The woman should have the right to terminate any consequence of an interaction that she did not initially consent to.)

On the other hand, if she says YES, then she does not give life to a new human being, the interaction does. The woman then takes on the role of caregiver: providing nutrition and protection for this newly created life.

When does this new creation become human? Only God can say that definitively. However, we know for 100% certainty that this transition does NOT just magically happen at the time of a natural birth, 9± months later.

For example, a friend’s daughter recently was carrying twins and she had some medical complications. At 7± months the decision was made to accelerate the birth of both babies, via C-Section. Following that, when her food supply (umbilical cord) was cut the babies were able to survive on their own — so clearly they were already human prior to delivery. (FYI six months later they are still fine.)

But what about buyer’s remorse? Let’s say that the father turns out to be a total jerk. Or their financial status substantially changes so that a baby would be a major economic burden. These and other real-world developments happen all the time.

However, the My Body My Choice has already been made by the woman. Somewhere soon after her choice, there is a new third party created, that she had consented to.

The issue is no longer My Body My Choice, as that decision was made well prior to that time. The question now is: should the woman stop providing nutrition and protection for this third person, that she had originally contractually consented to provide?

There are several details skipped in this overview, as the important point is to clearly understand the fundamentals involved in the procreation decision.

Four common examples of My Body My Choice —

  1. REPRODUCTION: See above.
  2. EDUCATION: The brain is arguably the most important part of the body. The Left has specifically targeted the brains of defenseless children — e.g., in 25,000± hours of K-12 class time, they are subjecting them to incessant propaganda. Further, the key message is that they should be conformists (i.e., NOT use their brains!). The Left sees that the parents, the legal guardians, are usually barred from knowing what propaganda is being instilled into their children’s minds.
  3. GENDER: Why should an eight-year-old child be put into a position of making a gender choice? They have neither the knowledge nor intellectual maturity to make such a decision. The parents, the legal guardians, are often excluded from this decision process. The Left is promoting this illusionary “choice” — not because it is in the child’s interest, but rather for political, virtue-signaling, reasons.
  4. VACCINES: Under the My Body My Choice premise, adults should have the right to say that they do not consent to being injected with an unknown bio-chemical combo that has not had meaningful long-term safety tests. The Left says that if you make such a choice, you will be severely penalized. Watch this fabulous short video.

So, which political party is really advocating for the best interests of your body, and which political party is genuinely defending your right to make an informed choice?

Bottom Line —

So after critically thinking about the main issue of each US political party, what are our conclusions?

  1. The reality and implications of the immigration issue are understated.
  2. The reality and implications of the abortion issue are overstated.
  3. The Left is clearly NOT the party protecting our bodies.

This should not be surprising as what we have heard about each of these issues primarily comes from mainstream media, which is: a) very Left, and b) operating under the assumption that there are few critically thinking citizens.

Soros’ Philanthropic Empire Pumped A Quarter Million Into Israel-Designated Terrorist Organization In 2023

The Soros family’s Open Society Foundations in 2023 gave $250,000 to the European wing of Al-Haq Human Rights Organization, an Israeli-designated terrorist group, according to a grant database.

Israel’s government determined that Al-Haq was an “arm” of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, in 2021. In addition to the Israeli government’s designation, Al-Haq’s general director, Shawan Jabarin, was convicted in 1985 of recruiting and arranging trainings for the PFLP and several of the organization’s members have made comments supporting militant extremist groups like Hamas.

Last year wasn’t the first time the Soros family’s philanthropic network has given money to Al-Haq. Open Society Foundations donated over $2 million to the organization between 2016 and 2020. The most recent donation, however, represents the first time the Soros network has disclosed a new donation to Al-Haq since the Israeli government designated it as a terror organization.

Open Society Foundations’ grant to Al-Haq will “support work on human rights, legal research and advocacy in Europe,” according to a grant database.

“For years, Al-Haq, a Palestinian NGO linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) — an internationally designated terrorist organization — has pursued a strategy seeking to eliminate Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people and to legitimize violent attacks against its citizens,” an unreleased report authored by Israeli watchdog NGO Monitor and obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation reads. “A central aspect of Al-Haq’s activity is arguing to Western elites — parliamentarians, government officials, diplomats, academics, journalists and students — that Israel is inherently illegitimate.”

Al-Haq has “operated on [the PFLP’s] behalf and upon its instructions as part of the terror organization’s struggle against Israel,” according to the Israeli Ministry of Defense. The PFLP has launched rockets at civilians, hijacked planes and ordered suicide bombings, according to the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Jabarin, the head of Al-Haq, attended a memorial event for a PFLP leader in 2019, according to a Palestinian media report.

Aseel Al Bajeh, a legal researcher and advocacy officer at ‎Al-Haq, reposted a quote from Ismail Haniyeh, a senior Hamas political leader, the day Hamas carried out mass terror attacks across Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people while also engaging in mass rapes and kidnappings. Ahmed Abofoul, another legal researcher and advocacy officer at Al-Haq, said on X that the United Nations secretary-general’s call for Hamas to stop killing civilians and release hostages was “morally abhorrent” because “Palestinian resistance” is “permitted by international law.”

Abofoul has defended the PFLP on X, according to the Washington Examiner. Al-Haq head of training Ziad Hmaidan encouraged Palestinians to attack Israel and praised “jihad” just days after the Oct. 7 attacks.

Al-Haq denies any links to the PFLP. Open Society Foundations condemned Israel’s designation of Al-Haq a terror group in 2022, saying that it “remains fully committed to its support for Al-Haq.”

Open Society Foundations was previously led by billionaire philanthropist George Soros, but his son took over the organization in 2023. Alex Soros described himself as “more political” than his father in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

“There is strict U.S. anti-terrorist legislation that determines which organizations a foundation like OSF can fund,” an Open Society Foundations spokesperson told the DCNF. “We devote a lot of effort to ensuring full compliance. None of our partners have ever been designated under U.S. law as supporting terrorism.”

Al-Haq did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Did Biden, Harris Know There’s ‘Scant Evidence’ for ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ When They Pushed It on Kids? Group Demands Answers

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have repeatedly supported “gender-affirming care” for “transgender” minors, but the National Institutes of Health has approved multiple research grants acknowledging there is “scant evidence” to support the idea that experimental medical interventions improve the lives of children who identify as the opposite sex.

America First Legal, a nonprofit organization that describes its mission as protecting Americans’ rights from “an unholy alliance of corrupt special interests, big tech titans, the fake news media, and liberal Washington politicians,” filed a Freedom of Information Act request aiming to uncover communications between the White House and the NIH regarding potential harm to children and adolescents caused by the interventions euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care.”

“While the rest of the world has rightfully pulled back on life-altering ‘gender’ experiments on children, the Biden-Harris administration is full steam ahead despite scant and dubious ‘evidence’ of any so-called benefits but plenty of data of the clear and obvious harm,” Ian Prior, a senior adviser at America First Legal, told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday.

Prior was referring to European countries such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Finland that have begun to reverse the trend of pushing “gender-affirming care” on children.

“America First Legal is committed to finding out exactly what the Biden-Harris administration knew, didn’t know, and didn’t care about while they were pushing this crime against humanity on our nation’s children,” Prior added.

The records request, provided exclusively to The Daily Signal, asks the NIH for “all communications with the White House and the Executive Office of the President regarding the potential harm to children and adolescents caused by ‘gender affirming’ care.”

In the request, America First Legal cites documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense, a nonprofit founded by presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Those records show that the National Institutes of Health approved multiple grants for research into “gender-affirming care” that acknowledge the scarcity of evidence supporting such medical interventions.

“Children’s Health Defense is happy to provide this [Freedom of Information Act] information to AFL for further analysis and investigation,” Mary Holland, the group’s CEO, said in a written statement. “The public needs to understand fully the government’s policies on transgenderism, especially as it relates to children.”

NIH Grants Reveal ‘Scant Evidence’

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles applied for a research grant for which the NIH first awarded funds in 2015, according to records provided to Children’s Health Defense. The federal government has awarded $7.5 million to date for this research.

When requesting funds, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles wrote that it aimed to “expand the scant evidence-base currently guiding the clinical care of [transgender and gender dysphoric] youth and thus, is of considerable public health significance.” (Gender dysphoria refers to the condition of persistently and painfully identifying with the gender opposite one’s biological sex.)

The hospital’s grant application noted that, while previous studies focused on adults who underwent “treatments,” “no known U.S. studies have examined similar outcomes among transgender youth with gender dysphoria.”

“No U.S. data have been collected on the longer-term physiological impact on [transgender and gender-nonconforming] youth initiating [gonadatropin-releasing hormone agonists] in early puberty,” the grant application noted, referring to the drugs often euphemistically referred to as “puberty blockers.”

The Food and Drug Administration has not approved these drugs—first developed to treat cancers that feed on testosterone and estrogen—for gender dysphoria among minors. Prisons use the same drugs to carry out the “chemical castration” of sex offenders.

The hospital’s grant application noted, “Very limited data also exist on the longer-term psychosocial outcomes of [transgender and gender dysphoric] youth initiating any gender-affirming medical care.”

Children’s Health Defense also obtained a grant application from the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, which noted a “dearth of evidence on health care needs of [transgender and non-binary] individuals after surgery, their psychosocial adjustment during this phase of their identity development, their quality of life and long-term physical and emotional wellbeing.” It also noted the “significant gap in the current evidence on best practices.”

The federal government has awarded $2.8 million for this research, first funded in 2021.

Finally, the nonprofit highlighted a grant to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Since August 2022, the federal government has spent $1.7 million on this research. This study aims to clarify whether the use of estrogen in males who identify as female leads to increasing blood clots.

The grant application laid out a hypothesis: “Youth receiving estrogen for [‘gender-affirming’ hormone therapy] will exhibit progressive prothrombotic changes in the coagulation system that increase with longer time on [‘gender-affirming’ hormone therapy].”

The application acknowledged that “the thrombosis risk of using estrogen [‘gender-affirming’ hormone therapy] in youth as per current practice guidelines is unknown,” but that the longer an adult male takes estrogen as a cross-sex hormone, the greater his risk of blood clots, studies show.

Those previous studies are inadequate, the application noted, because “studies reporting an association of [‘gender-affirming’ hormone therapy] with thrombosis were conducted with outdated treatment regimens and did not include [transgender] youth, who are likely to receive [‘gender-affirming’ hormone therapy] for a much longer time than [transgender] adults.”

The Biden-Harris Narrative

Despite the lack of evidence supporting “gender-affirming care” for minors, the Biden-Harris administration has loudly supported so-called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for Americans under 18.

America First Legal pointed to a public White House statement from March 31, 2022, celebrating the “Transgender Day of Visibility,” as evidence of the White House’s loud support for these experimental treatments.

That document laid out many actions the Biden-Harris administration took to promote “gender-affirming care” for minors. Those actions included:

  • The Justice Department sent a letter to state attorneys general suggesting that laws banning experimental interventions for kids might violate federal law.
  • A document from the Department of Health and Human Services purported to explain why “gender-affirming care” is “important to transgender, nonbinary, and other gender expansive young people’s well-being.”
  • HHS actions to “support transgender children in receiving the care they need” in response to states that “target parents and doctors who provide gender-affirming care to transgender children with child abuse investigations.”

In a particularly noteworthy passage, the White House document also noted that the NIH will “increase funding for research on gender-affirming procedures to further develop the evidence base for improved standards of care.”

In other words, while most of the administration was working overtime to protect these experimental transgender interventions on kids, at least one agency was asking whether pumping cross-sex hormones and chemical castration drugs into kids was a good idea after all.

Previous Evidence Against ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

America First Legal previously exposed a high-ranking FDA official who urged the federal agency to approve “puberty blockers” for minors, even while acknowledging that preliminary studies revealed that minors who take the drugs experience “increased risk of depression and suicidality, as well as increased seizure risk.”

Internal documents from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, a pro-transgender activist group, revealed that WPATH leaders knew about various side effects of “gender-affirming care,” including cancer in teens, reduced sexual function, and the lack of informed consent for procedures with lifelong impacts. These medical professionals endorse the experimental treatments anyway.

Many doctors also testified in favor of a Florida rule that would prevent Medicaid dollars from funding “gender-affirming care.” The doctors—including psychiatrists, endocrinologists, neurologists, and a former WPATH leader—testified that these interventions are experimental and may do more harm than good.

JD Vance Reacts After Reportedly Being Barred From Greeting Supporters In Pennsylvania Restaurant

A southwest Pennsylvania restaurant employee moved to restrict Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance’s entrance into the establishment Saturday, forcing waiting supporters to move outside to greet him, according to reports.

Vance appeared at Primanti Brothers in North Versailles Township to meet supporters but one of the sandwich shop’s workers “told the press that cameras were not allowed and that they did not want a ‘campaign event,”‘ according to NBC News reporter Gary Grumbach.

Another advance issue w/ Team Vance:

Video shows an apparently charged scene as a presumed patron claims Vance supporters in the restaurant were canceling their food orders and leaving upon learning Vance was barred. It also showed what appeared to be Vance’s SUV waiting in the parking lot.

Another video appears to show Vance reacting outside the restaurant.

“We paid for everybody’s food. We gave them a nice tip and, of course, when I gave a nice tip, I said, ‘No taxes on tips,’” Vance said.

“Now, it’s all right; don’t hold it against [the worker]. She just got a little nervous, but it’s a great local business. Let’s keep on supporting it. And, most importantly, November 5th or before: go vote, let’s go win this thing,” he added to cheers and applause.

“Without any advance notice, today’s campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff,” a Saturday statement posted by Primanti Brothers to X (formerly known as Twitter) reads. “However, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property.”

Vance eventually entered the restaurant and spoke with an employee while paying the bill and promoting the Trump campaign’s “No tax on tips” plan, video obtained by Fox News shows.

Primanti Bros. allowed the Harris-Walz campaign to use its shop in Moon Township in August 2024. A local diner complained to Fox News Digital about being kicked out of the shop; protesters were recorded greeting the Democratic presidential campaign.

Rumors circulated online that the diners at the Harris event were paid actors brought along in white vans. Fact-checking website Snopes stated it had “yet to find any credible evidence of involvement from ‘paid actors.’”

U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Alexi Worley told Snopes the event was “a volunteer appreciation event” and that the white vans were “part of the Secret Service’s motorcade, ‘transporting members of the campaign staff and press.’”

The incident involving Vance and Primanti drew mixed reactions online.

“You are such a classy guy @JDVance !” said a commenter.

“Make sure everyone goes on Yelp and give them a 0 Star review,” another said.

“Boycott @Primantibros,” another said.

“Where’s the advance team?… and why does Vance keep making this mistake over and over?” another asked.

Earlier videos circulating online show Vance at a King Food Supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania on Sept. 21, 2024 bemoaning the high price of eggs.

JD Vance: “Yes, buddy. Want some eggs? Let’s talk about eggs. Because these guys [pointing to his kids] actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning.”

“Eggs when Kamala Harris took office were short of $1.50 a dozen,” Vance said. “Now a dozen eggs will cost you around $4, thanks to Kamala Harris’s inflationary policies.”

Viewers pointed out online how some of the lower-priced tags on the crates behind Vance in the video showed $2.99, The Independent reported.

An Aug. 22 video of Vance ordering donuts during a campaign stop at Holt’s Sweet Shop in Valdosta, Georgia showed an apparently awkward encounter with an employee who seemed uneasy and asked to not be filmed while Vance intended to make small talk.
