PODCAST: Fascism Is ‘Far LEFT’ Not the ‘Far Right’

For decades, we’ve been taught a simplistic political spectrum: communism on the far left, fascism on the far right, and democracy somewhere safely in the middle. It’s a framework repeated in academia, echoed in the media, and baked into textbooks. But this narrative is not only historically inaccurate it’s dangerously misleading. Fascism and communism are not opposites. They are rivals within the same ideological family branches of the collectivist tree rooted in Marxist soil. While they differ in rhetoric and style, both lead to the same destination: totalitarian control, the abolition of individual rights, and the glorification of the all-powerful state. To call fascism far-right is to misunderstand both history and political philosophy.

The Socialist Roots of Fascism:

Fascism did not arise as a reactionary, right-wing movement. It emerged from the Left explicitly from Marxist and socialist intellectual circles. Benito Mussolini was not only a card-carrying socialist, but the editor of Avanti!, the official newspaper of the Italian Socialist Party. He broke with orthodox Marxists not because he rejected socialism, but because he believed class struggle was less effective than nationalist unity in achieving socialist ends. His innovation was to blend nationalism with socialism not to abandon socialism.

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Mamdani Wolf? Not me!

I stopped counting the massive numbers of articles — both before and after the election of November 4, 2025 — that predicted the complete devolution/collapse/implosion of New York City, a huge exodus of both Jews and Christians, as well as businesses and the Wall Street financial district to friendlier climes in what was anticipated to be the full-fledged conversion of the Big Apple from capitalism to communism, from law and order to a runaway crime wave, and from historical diversity to full-bore antisemitism and the passionate embrace of Islamism and sharia law if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor.

None of it fazed me.  I didn’t even watch the returns.

The next day, I did read about the Democrat “sweep” in, predictably, blue states.  That didn’t faze me, either.

Why?  Because I know both American history and Jewish history, and both of these blazingly inspiring histories have survived and prevailed quite gloriously over far bigger fish than the diminutive Mamdani, with his high-priority agenda, including his inflammatory embrace of Hamas, his stated hatred of Jews and Israel, his embrace of the Democratic Socialists of America and their annihilating mission statement to purge NYC of all things Jewish — and to “arrest Netanyahu and active IDF soldiers for war crimes” — and his promise to empty the city’s prisons of all its hardcore criminals, and his determination to replace the vital life-protecting and life-saving services of the police department with social workers.

Can’t make this up!

How Did This Happen?

Daniel Greenfield gives us the cold, hard empirical numbers.  “In 1989 … Jews outnumbered Muslims in NYC roughly 4 to 1.  By 2013 … the number of Muslims had doubled, and the number of Jews continued to drop.”

When Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo, there were more Muslims than Italian-Americans in NYC, Greenfield continues.  There was no Irish candidate because the Irish population “long ago dropped below that of Muslims.”  And the Polish population represented by Curtis Sliwa is even smaller.

These populations “were replaced by college students, hipsters and third-world immigrants who not only voted for Democrats, but for the far Left.”

And “much of New York City no longer even speaks English.  That’s why Mamdani could campaign in Arabic.”

No one should be shocked by this election.  While Americans were apparently distracted or not paying attention or stupidly thinking they were being virtuous and tolerant by embracing a genuinely suicidal form of diversity, Muslims were steadfastly pursuing their decades-long blueprint of converting all Western countries — as they have in Europe — to an Islamic caliphate.

And whaddaya know?  In this last election, as reported by the RAIR Foundation, 42 Muslims were elected to prominent offices across the United States.

It Won’t Take Long

I live about 20 minutes from NYC, and I know the city well.  I give it five innocent citizens who get pushed off the subway onto the tracks, who get raped violently while taking a morning run, who get clocked in the face while walking down the street only to end up in an emergency room with a fractured cheekbone or a gouged out eye, who get waylaid in horrific traffic jams for over an hour while hordes of Muslims listen to the blasting siren for prayer all over the city — five times a day! — before enormous rallies and organized campaigns call for Mamdani to be impeached.

As for the Democrat victors who won races for governor — Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey — just watch the crime rates escalate dramatically — as they do in all Democrat-run states (and also Democrat-run cities), and then watch the massive exodus on unprecedented levels by citizens and businesses to sane, law-and-order states and cities run by Republicans.  Never fails.

We are looking at theater here, but more dramatic — and consequential — than Broadway!

Yes, the failed public school system in our country has indoctrinated our youth with the notion of a victim mentality, that America the Beautiful is not beautiful at all, but rather a racist, misogynistic, exploitive political system that is not “fair”…to whom?

In their view, to all the people who don’t like to work but who do like depending on the government for food, housing, cell phones, medicine, basically everything.  Basically, communists!  And actually, a system that has failed thunderously in every country where it has been tried.

Some Historical Perspective

Remember the hugely powerful and ancient Egyptian Empire?  That empire, like Mamdani & Co., hated the Jews and forced them into over 200 years of brutal slavery.  Today, that empire has been extinct for centuries, whereas the teeny tiny population of Jews continued to survive and in many instances flourish.

How about the even more powerful Babylonian Empire, from which the all-important Babylonian Talmud was transcribed from the oral law to the written law?  Same history, same ending.  Gone.  But still, the Jews prevailed.

Then there was the highly influential Persian Empire — strong, dominant, quite sure that those damn Jews could and would be conquered.  Yep!  Gone, but the Jews were still a cohesive people, struggling but alive.

Not to omit the immense might of the Greek Empire.  Um…gone, while those pesky Jews continued to make disproportionate contributions to mankind, as they do today.

And then there was the mightiest of all, the Roman Empire — armed, dangerous, focused, resolute, and determined to finally conquer those obstinate Jews, who constantly claimed there was only one God, who gave the world the Torah and the Ten Commandments and Jesus…the list of contributions is too long to recount here.

Where is the Roman Empire now?  Gone!  And the Jews?  Still contributing astounding contributions to the world in subjects as diverse as medicine, scholarship, science, literature, invention, computer science, environment, technology, on and on and on and on.

…and, as usual, still aggravating their neighbors and the little Jew-haters like Zohran Mamdani and Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who hilariously believe that they are more powerful — with all their Ivy League words and media connections — than all the armed empires that fell into ignominy before them.

The Pendulum

The pendulum of history continues.  Back and forth it goes, from the far left to the far right, and sometimes it lands in the middle, as it did in the quite blissful 1950s.

I suspect that after the misguided election of Mamdani and those leftist governors in VA and NJ, and even Jay Jones being elected as the Democrat attorney general of Virginia after he threatened to shoot a Republican in the head, the voters who cast their votes for these candidates will begin to smell the coffee and realize that the people they voted for have yielded nothing positive, nothing productive, nothing life-affirming, nothing good.

National conservative TV and radio host Wayne Allyn Root has a remedy for the Mamdani phenomenon.  It is too lengthy to include here, but I urge all readers to click on this link to enjoy his truly unique and original ideas.

In the next go-round, the midterms in 2026, I predict that we will see the same thunderous victories for conservatives as we saw in the monumental victory of President Trump in 2024.

“Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses, But Not Your Jews”

No joking matter: 1940s political cartoons warned US of Holocaust

Proof of America’s awareness of genocide against European Jews lay in the funny papers, where cartoonists used pens to eviscerate US politicians’ apathy

WATCH: Palestinian-American Influencer Abdul Eyad Celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s NYC Mayoral Victory

By Cathryn J. Prince

NEW YORK — Long before becoming a beloved children’s author, Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel wielded his pen for more sober reasons: He wanted to alert the American public to the horrors of the Third Reich.

In fact, Geisel belonged to a small but determined cadre of American editorial cartoonists who, as early as 1933, sounded the alarm about Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Now the work of these legendary cartoonists is featured in Dr. Rafael Medoff and Craig Yoe’s new book, “Cartoonists Against the Holocaust.”

But beyond resurrecting these cartoons from history’s margins, the book upends the narrative that Americans were unaware of the mounting barbarism.

“There is a popular misconception that what Hitler was doing was not known to the American public until the camps were liberated,” Dr. Rafael Medoff, founding director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, told The Times of Israel. “When you look at the newspaper coverage at the time you see a great deal was known long before that. And the number of editorial cartoons further illustrates how widely known Hitler’s atrocities were before the end of the war.”

That cartoonists addressed the threat of Nazi Germany so early fits in with how they view their role in society, said Yoe, an Eisner Award-winning comics historian and the former creative director for Jim Henson’s Muppets and Nickelodeon.

“Cartoonists are often progressive. They give a voice for people who are struggling and they can speak for those who need a voice. They care about social laws and issues,” he said.

Through more than 150 rare political cartoons, historical explanations and commentary, the authors tell how these cartoonists implored American politicians and private citizens alike to act against Nazi Germany and save Jewish lives.

Readers will view Kristallnacht, book burnings, the voyage of the doomed refugee ship St. Louis, the struggle over America’s refugee policy, the gas chambers, the cattle car trains, and the Nuremberg Trials, through the eyes of watchdogs such as Herbert Block of the “Washington Post,” Jay “Ding” Darling of the “New York Herald Tribune”, and Edmund Duffy of “The Baltimore Sun.”

As the authors write in the book’s introduction, successful editorial cartoons poke, prod and provoke. Not only did they command attention in the US, they drew a response from Nazi Germany.

“In fact Hitler put out two volumes of cartoons showing what the world was saying about Nazi Germany. They collected cartoons from abroad as a way to say, ‘They’re lying about us and about what is really happening.’ It was their way to refute the accusations being made against Nazi Germany,” said Dr. Steven Luckert, Senior Program Curator at the Levine Institute for Holocaust Education, part of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Without choosing a favorite cartoonist, Yoe said he’s long been drawn to the work of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Daniel Fitzpatrick, who worked in charcoal. His 1935 cartoon “Swastika Over Germany” depicts a swastika formed by a bent and chained person.

“He drew very simple, yet very forceful cartoons. You have to be a very good artist to get an idea across like that,” Yoe said.

As the author of 16 books on the Holocaust and Jewish history, Medoff said the cartoons offer a fresh way to teach the story of the Shoah.

“One important point that strikes me again and again is it’s really hard for teens to relate to the Holocaust because it seems so long ago, so very far away,” said Medoff. “They read ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ and often Elie Wiesel’s ‘Night,’ but this sticks in their minds in a way a 250-page text book does not.”

Luckert agreed, saying cartoons offer a succinct way to convey an argument. As such, cartoons often feature in the museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Many of the cartoonists were Pulitzer Prize-winning muckrakers. Some were the targets of racist mobs. And some, like Eric Godal and Arthur Szyk, were Jewish refugees whose parents were trapped in Hitler’s Europe.

“That added a poignant twist. I thought I was writing a book about well-meaning cartoonists who were trying to make a difference. I didn’t realize how they [Godal and Szyk] were personally impacted,” Medoff said.

Originally from Germany, Godal narrowly escaped the Gestapo in 1933 and after settling in the US started working as a cartoonist for several publications. One of his cartoons in 1938, “The Wandering Jew” showed a Jewish refugee crisscrossing the globe, according to the book. A year later his own mother, Anna Marien-Goldbaum, and 936 other German Jewish refugees boarded the “St. Louis,” hoping to be granted safe haven in the US.

She sent two letters, from an aged mother on the wandering steamship to her son Godal the artist in New York. She wrote of holding out hope that President Franklin D. Roosevelt “and other influential people will help us… I shall not lose courage until the happy end is reached.”

Roosevelt did not help and the “St. Louis” returned to Europe. Many of the passengers, including Godal’s mother, perished in Nazi concentration camps. Later Godal would pen one of the harshest critiques of Roosevelt in a cartoon captioned “Refer to Committee 3, Investigation Subcommittee 6, Section 8B, for consideration.” It shows an apathetic Roosevelt passing off a memorandum about how the Nazis were murdering hundreds of thousands of Jews monthly.

More than 70 years after the war ended, it’s difficult to gauge the impact cartoons had on public opinion and policy — for while the US government didn’t intercede on behalf of Jewish refugees, individuals such as Reverend Waitstill Sharp, a Unitarian minister, and his wife Martha rescued an anti-Nazi member of the Czech parliament by sneaking him out of a hospital morgue in a body bag.

“Even if you can’t measure it in an obvious way it doesn’t mean the cartoon didn’t have impact,” Medoff said. “The public’s appreciation of editorial cartoons is still great, they still really pack a punch and can be taken seriously as political commentary.”

Is America’s Newest Friend A Threat To Christians?

President Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House Monday, prompting scrutiny over al-Sharaa’s treatment of his country’s Christian minority.

Trump has made addressing the global persecution of Christians a priority of his administration, and he designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” and called for a congressional investigation in October.

Nigeria is not the only country where Christians are being targeted. Religious minorities are targeted or caught in the crossfire as players move for power in Syria.

As the nearly 14-year civil war came to a close, al-Sharaa’s forces took control of the Syrian government from Bashar Al-Assad’s regime in late 2024.

Al-Sharaa’s resistance, the Nusra Front, was formally aligned with al-Qaeda until 2016, Reuters reported. It rebranded itself in 2017 as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Al-Sharaa previously had a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head, but he told CNN in December that his group was working to reassure Christians targeted by extremist and jihadist groups during the civil war that they would be safe under his rule.

“There were some violations against them [minorities] by certain individuals during periods of chaos, but we addressed these issues,” al-Sharaa told CNN.

“No one has the right to erase another group,” he continued. “These sects have coexisted in this region for hundreds of years, and no one has the right to eliminate them.”

Despite al-Sharaa’s promises, doubts remain due to his resistance group’s jihadist origins and track record of human rights abuses, Open Doors research analyst on the Middle East, Henriette Kats, said in December.

CEO of Christian rights organization Open Doors U.S., Ryan Brown, told the Daily Caller the attacks happening in Syria don’t take place in a vacuum, and they are the result of a civil war.

Brown said the threat Assad’s regime posed to Syrian Christians was a “known entity,” but the rise of al-Sharaa bred uncertainty and elicited mixed reactions from Christians.

Al-Sharaa began his rule by meeting with high-level clergymen to “lay the foundations for future dialogue” with the goal to “continue these meetings to reach future understandings,” an anonymous official told AFP, Al Arabiya English reported.

Despite al-Sharaa’s purported commitments, the future of Syrian Christians remains uncertain. They face attacks from groups opposing al-Sharaa because of their faith, while others are being killed in unrelated conflicts involving forces allegedly tied to his government.

A suicide bomber attacked an evening Catholic Mass in June, taking the lives of 22 people and wounding more than 50 others, according to Open Doors.

“I was preaching when the shooting began. Then came the screams,” the father of a neighboring Greek Orthodox church told Open Doors. “Everyone instinctively dropped to the ground. The fear… it was unspeakable. We were all in shock, paralyzed by the horror.”

Syrian authorities attributed the attack to ISIS, according to the report.

“We thought getting rid of the previous regime was going to give us some sense of freedom,” an Open Doors partner told the organization, claiming authorities are only “pretending to protect the rights of everybody in Syria.”

Hundreds of minorities — including the Druze and Alawites —were slaughtered in 2025, Open Doors reported. The group noted that many are questioning whether al-Sharaa can control the extremist groups in his country.

Al-Sharaa called on “remnants of the former regime” to immediately surrender and vowed to hold accountable “anyone who was involved in the bloodshed of civilians,” according to Al Arabiya English.

Head of the Europe branch of the Christian Syriac Union Party, Joseph Lahdo, said Christians have become the “target of direct attacks,” according to Christian Solidarity International.

Outside of the bombings and direct attacks on churches and families, Lahdo alleged Christians face taxes and financial pressure, and Christian women are forced out of workplaces and universities.

Christians also face political marginalization, absence of real representation in governing institutions and continuous threats from extremist groups and Turkish military operations, according to Lahdo. He added that Christians lack access to adequate international support.

In preparation for Trump’s Monday meeting with the president, nearly 100 U.S. church leaders signed an open letter thanking Trump for his recent efforts in combating Christian persecution in Nigeria.

The letter urged Trump to address the persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, in Syria.

“[R]eligious minorities face ongoing violence, death, displacement, starvation, and water and medical deprivation, all while innocent women and children are held hostage by ISIS terrorists,” the letter stated.

The letter, whose signatories included Vice Chair of Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission Dr. Ben Carson, requested Trump “secure President al-Sharaa’s commitment to opening a secure humanitarian corridor from Hader to Suwayda in southern Syria,” arguing the corridor would facilitate aid delivery and the evacuation of civilians.

It’s estimated that nearly 90% of the aid being distributed through Damascus does not reach its intended target of Sweida, according to the Catholic Review.

Although it is unclear whether such topics came up during the first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House, Trump said he believes al-Sharaa can make Syria successful and help bring peace to the region.

After Trump’s meeting, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom indicated the government will continue to address issues of religious freedom in the region.

The commission will hold a virtual hearing on religious freedom in Syria Thursday to “identify continued challenges to U.S. policy and religious freedom in Syria.”

Witnesses are slated to speak on specific threats to freedom of religion or belief toward Syrian minorities, as well as how the U.S. “can leverage bilateral, regional, and international interests in its support of [freedom of religion or belief] for all Syrians.”

Brown told the Caller there are ways Syria’s government can ensure Christians and religious minorities are protected, including by implementing constitutional reforms that enshrine basic protections for Christians and other Syrian minorities. He said the U.S. should continue to encourage the prioritization of the freedom of religious belief in its international relations.

He said the most important way someone can help is to pray for Christians and others caught in the Syrian turmoil, as well as donating to groups like Open Doors. The organization supplies information on countries dealing with Christian persecution, helps support the livelihood of Christians and provides trauma care after attacks, like the suicide bombing in June.

Brown said that although most Christian persecution is directly violent, other forms of persecution are increasing around the world, specifically during the past few years in sub-Saharan Africa.

“It is becoming alarming how much violence is continuing to escalate in the expression of persecution,” he told the Caller.

The Bible and Socialism

Last week, an avowed socialist—Communist, really—won the mayoral seat of America’s number one city, NYC, the home of Wall Street and the largest Jewish population in the world outside Israel. Zohran Mamdani promised a lot of free stuff—although his supporters had to pay for their own drinks at his victory celebration.

With the incredibly terrible track record of Communism, how could a free people vote in socialism? Easy. Through ignorance of history, promoted in our schools, our media, our songs, our culture, and sometimes even through the pulpit, primarily through its silence on such things as how socialism contradicts basic Biblical teaching.

But to the ignorant, it would appear the Bible promotes socialism.

In his article “Gov. Newsom Uses Bible to Slam Vance,” Dr. Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, writes, “On November 9, California Governor Gavin Newsom called out Vice President JD Vance for allowing the poor to go hungry.”

Donohue quotes Newsom: “I mean, Old Testament, New Testament…What’s the fundamental thing that connects every—I mean, from John to Matthew to Proverbs? It’s this notion of hunger, feeding the poor, the sick, the tired…it’s not an option, it’s central to advancing God’s will.”

Certainly, the Bible does command us to help the poor. But nowhere does God say that the government is to help the poor. In fact, the Bible says we shall not steal nor covet our neighbors’ goods. Those two prohibitions comprise 20% of the Ten Commandments.

Although capitalism and free enterprise have proven to lift the quality of life for many in our country and all over the world, lately, many young Americans clamor for socialism over capitalism. In some cases, they basically define socialism as simply sharing.

But critics note that socialism involves the force of the government. It isn’t sharing that is practiced. Instead, it is forcibly confiscating (stealing) property from one citizen to give to another—while charging a hefty administrative fee in the process.

Furthermore, socialism undermines productivity and actually hurts the recipients who are supposedly the objects of charity.

Take the welfare state as an example. This has led to the breakdown of the urban family. They said in effect, “Dad, if you get out of the house, then we’ll give mom more money.” But fatherlessness contributes significantly to poverty, as well as a number of other maladies. Why do young men join gangs? They’re looking for surrogate fathers.

Meanwhile, the church is often at the forefront of truly helping the poor on a voluntary basis.

The Bible also says the family is ultimately responsible for the care of the needy and the poor. The Apostle Paul writes, “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” Now certainly, Paul’s not talking about those who cannot provide for their family, but those who refuse to do so.

Last year, I had the privilege to interview Charlie Kirk about his book against Wokeism for a radio segment. I mentioned to him that after reading major portions of his book, Right Wing Revolution, I found it amazing that people in modern times still turn to Karl Marx, the father of Communism, for inspiration and marching orders. Here’s a portion of our dialogue.

Jerry: “Why should Karl Marx have the final say in this world? Karl Marx couldn’t even reconcile his own bank account. Karl Marx forced his family into utter poverty. What a loser. And yet this guy’s ideas have poisoned the minds of millions and led to the deaths of tens of millions. Amazing.”

Charlie: “Yeah, and Marx was engaged in the demonic, and Marxism is from the pit of hell. Marxism seeks to destroy people’s connection to God, people’s connection to the family, and people’s ability to own property. Three things that are biblically based and mandated. And so Karl Marx shouldn’t have the final say, and that’s why believers need to identify what Marxism is, where it comes from, and our need to rise up against it….But right now, it seems that the church largely is indifferent towards the rise of Marxism in the West.”

In contrast, NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani sees big government as the solution. He said, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” Instead, I agree with President Reagan, who viewed government as often to be the problem, not the solution, to problems. Our 40th president said the scariest words to ever hear are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

Let’s be blunt, socialism is simply a means by which many politicians are basically trying to buy votes—and they’re charging us for the bill.

Blood Labels: A Political Right That Avoids The Oldest Of Infamies

MEMRI Daily Brief No. 863

That liberal democracy seems to be looking increasingly threadbare is obvious. The elements of the old dispensation — individualism, free markets, limited government — all seem to be under assault, often for very good reasons. What Francis Fukuyama popularized in 1989 as the endpoint of political evolution and “the final form of human government” does not look that way right now.[1] Globalization, the offspring of the free markets/free trade portion of liberal democracy, seems as much of a threat to as a product of the “liberal-democratic West.”[2]

The world, including the West, is transitioning. What is not quite clear is exactly what it is transitioning into. In a recent piece I wrote about Europe, I described the potential future of that continent as a struggle between Fanonists and Maurrassians.[3] Fanon is, of course, Frantz Fanon (1925-1961), the highly influential “anti-colonial” political radical.[4] Maurras was Charles Maurras (1868-1952) the highly influential reactionary nationalist.[5]

Both were Francophone, both gifted writers, one died too young, the other lived too long. Both godfathers of types of virulent antisemitism, of the left and of the right, that flourish to this day. Fanon is a symbol of a type of revolutionary Third Worldism that seems to be burgeoning within the West. Maurras is kind of shorthand for a type of full-throated populist nationalism also gaining force in the West.[6]

Recently the United States has seen controversy on the political right, much talked about online, involving journalist Tucker Carlson, his platforming of the flagrant antisemite and Nazi Nick Fuentes, and the reaction of the Heritage Foundation, a leading American conservative institution. Both Carlson, who has also platformed leftists and even a lobbyist for the Venezuelan regime, and Fuentes, a fringe figure who supported Kamala Harris in 2024, seem to be as much or more agents provocateurs than men of the right. There is a flood now of “edgelords who take pride in transgression for its own sake.”[7]

Both, especially Fuentes, benefit from and channel the completely understandable anger of younger American generations at what seems a deeply unfair, rotten world created by their elders.[8] These younger generations, especially young men and particularly young white men, see all the established gatekeepers as hopelessly discredited, economies hollowed out, societies overwhelmed from within and without, institutions arrayed against them, and a grim future looming.[9] They are not wrong and there are clearly both right-wing and left-wing versions of this existential bitterness, as the recent election of a cosmopolitan leftist political messiah supported by pro-China, Qatar and Iran propagandists as mayor of New York City demonstrated.[10]

There seems little doubt that in the United States the political advantage will lie in whichever party or faction within one of the two parties will be able to better address the deep disquiet of rising generations at what seems like an unfair, broken economic and political reality. To talk about unfettered capitalism in a jobless, hopeless future will be a real challenge. In November 2024, the candidate that was best able to tap into this deep vein of dissatisfaction was Donald Trump. In 2026 and 2028, it might be the Democrats, particularly the Democratic Socialist part of the Democratic Party. In the long-run, who knows? But the crisis of downwardly mobile would-be elites is real.[11]

Supporters of Israel face the challenge of better making the case that U.S. support for Israel is not a heavy burden, that it makes good strategic sense on its own terms, that it can be and is consistent with an American First worldview and divorcing this support from the bitter legacy of what is now broadly seen as decades of imperial, near suicidal, American overreach. But much of the “new” antisemitism in the U.S. is also about a struggle for power within contending elites, both on the left and right, and actually has very little to do with what Israel or American Jews actually do or say. It is a merely an ugly means to a political end.

But one thing that struck me in the mainstreaming of this antisemitism on the American right is the contrast with the rise of right-wing movements in Europe that are actually philosemitic. All across Europe, the center and the left — the long-time custodians of power on the old continent — are horrified by what they call the “far-right” or the populist right.[12] They seek to demonize figures such as Hungary’s Viktor Orban as they did with “fascist” Giorgia Meloni in 2022. And yet from Orban to Spain’s Vox to Germany’s AfD to the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders, it is the so-called “far-right” parties that are consistently pro-Israel.[13] There certainly are antisemitic right-wingers in Europe but they are not electorally significant. In contrast to Maurras and even Jean-Marie LePen, the French right today is also philosemitic.[14] Most of the politically powerful parties in Europe that “dabble” in antisemitism are on the political left — Spain’s PSOE and its communist allies, France’s LFI, Germany’s Die Linke, the UK’s Jeremy Corbyn. Several of these parties rely heavily on the Muslim migrant vote, a vote which overwhelmingly favors the European left.

There are obvious reasons why the populist European right is usually philosemitic. Of course, they want to differentiate themselves from pro-Islamic leftist parties who kowtow to an often deeply antisemitic migrant population. They also see Israel as a sovereigntist, right-leaning nationalist state that is often targeted by the globalists. The same crowd that wants to overcome Israel wants to submerge and dominate Europe.[15] There is also an obvious, laudable attempt to differentiate the European “new” right from the rightwing European parties of the past which often tended to be antisemitic.

Regardless of the complex motivations, Europe shows that political parties of the nationalist right can exist and flourish without being trapped in one of the oldest and worst of all blood-libels, Jew hatred.

Rooted Hope: Israel’s Place in God’s Unchanging Plan

The Error of Replacement Theology. 

In This Article:

  • Why replacement theology (the idea that the Church has replaced Israel) contradicts Scripture.
  • How God’s covenants with Abraham and David prove Israel’s everlasting national identity.
  • The prophets’ promises of Israel’s physical and spiritual restoration in the land.
  • What the New Testament really says about Israel’s destiny — and how Jesus affirmed it.
  • How supersessionism fosters theological error and antisemitism.
  • Why the Church is grafted in, not replacing Israel.
  • The timeline from God’s ancient covenants to Israel’s modern rebirth in 1948 — proof of His faithfulness.

The assertion that the Bible redefines Israel solely as a “spiritual kingdom” of Christian believers, effectively erasing its identity as an earthly nation-state, stems from replacement theology or supersessionism.

This view posits that the Church has fully supplanted Israel as God’s chosen people, nullifying Old Testament promises of land, nationhood, and restoration.

However, Scripture consistently upholds Israel’s distinct ethnic and national identity alongside the Church, affirming unbreakable covenants and a future earthly restoration.

Far from replacement, the New Testament portrays Gentiles (the Church) as grafted into Israel’s spiritual blessings, not as a substitute (Romans 11:17-24). This claim misreads the Bible’s progressive revelation, conflating the Church’s current spiritual role with Israel’s enduring national destiny.

The Everlasting Covenant with Abraham

First, consider the Abrahamic covenant, foundational to Israel’s identity.

In Genesis 12:1-3 and 17:7-8, God promises Abraham that his descendants, through Isaac and Jacob (renamed Israel), will inherit the land of Canaan as an “everlasting possession.”

If Israel were merely a “spiritual kingdom” now absorbed into the Church, these land promises would be voided. God fulfills his promises and most certainly his solemn covenant.

God’s Promise to Preserve Israel

Jeremiah 31:35-37 echoes this: God vows not to reject Israel “as long as the sun, moon, and stars endure,” linking the nation’s survival to creation’s order itself.

Replacement advocates spiritualize these away, but the Bible treats them as literal, awaiting millennial fulfillment (Ezekiel 37:25).

The Davidic covenant further cements Israel’s earthly kingship.

In 2 Samuel 7:12-16, God promises David an eternal throne through his lineage, ruling over Israel in Jerusalem. This is not transferable to the Church as a disembodied “spiritual kingdom.”

Psalm 89:3-4 and 34-37 reinforce: “I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered… Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations.”

Prophets Affirm Israel’s Future Restoration

Prophetic texts abound with Israel’s future as a restored nation-state.

Ezekiel 36:24-28 promises: “For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.” This regathering precedes spiritual renewal, but it is unmistakably physical: borders, cities, and temple (Ezekiel 37:21-28; 40-48).

Zechariah 14:16-21 envisions post-Messianic survivors from all nations worshiping in Jerusalem’s earthly temple during the Feast of Tabernacles, hardly a “spiritual kingdom” of scattered believers.

Amos 9:14-15 adds: “And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them.” These are not Church metaphors; the New Testament applies them to literal Israel in the land covenanted to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

New Testament Confirmation of Israel’s Destiny

Fast forward to the New Testament, in the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), Gabriel declares to Mary: “Thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever” (Luke 1:31-33, KJV).

This echoes 2 Samuel 7:12-16, where God promises David an eternal throne through his seed, establishing Christ as Israel’s everlasting King. Here, “the house of Jacob” means ethnic Israel, not a generic body of believers.

Supersessionism reduces prophecy to allegory and undermines Jesus Christ’s role as Israel’s Messiah-King.

Jesus Affirms Israel’s Restoration

In Acts 1:3–7, during the forty days preceding His Ascension, Jesus “spoke of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” (v. 3).

When gathered with Him on the Mount of Olives, the apostles asked, “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (v. 6). His response, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons” (v. 7), suggests that His teaching during that period had indeed addressed the restoration of Israel’s kingdom. Otherwise, their question would appear disconnected from His instruction.

If the apostles had wholly misconceived His meaning, Jesus, whose mission was to fulfill the Law and the Prophets rather than abolish them (Matthew 5:17), would surely have corrected their expectation or declared Israel’s covenants null.

Instead, His silence on that point affirms continuity with God’s promises, even as the timing of their fulfillment remained veiled.

Supersessionism’s Dangerous Consequences

Supersessionism fosters antisemitism by diminishing Israel’s God-given role, contradicting God’s heart for His “firstborn son” (Exodus 4:22). Abraham’s seed blesses all nations through Christ (Galatians 3:8,16), but ethnic Israel’s covenants endure distinctly (Romans 9:4-5).

The Church participates. It does not supplant or uproot.

To spiritualize Israel away ignores 1,917 years of revelation, from the Abrahamic covenant in 1921 BC (when the smoking furnace and burning lamp passed between the divided pieces (Genesis 15:17)) to the Virgin Birth of Jesus in 4 BC.

From Covenant to Cross to Country: God’s Timetable of Faithfulness

In his final week of 33 AD (Nisan 10-16), Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (Nisan 10), aligning with Lamb Selection Day as the Passover prelude; Maundy Thursday evening (Nisan 14) marked Passover Preparation with the Last Supper as the Seder; Good Friday (Nisan 14) coincided with Passover Sacrifice Day, tying his crucifixion to the lamb’s slaughter; Holy Saturday (Nisan 15) observed the First Day of Unleavened Bread as a High Sabbath feast; and Easter Sunday (Nisan 16) fell on the Feast of First Fruits, symbolizing his resurrection offering.

This timeline extends another 1,878 years from those pivotal events to Israel’s reestablishment as a state in 1948 AD, after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, underscoring God’s enduring faithfulness to His covenants.

BBC’s Bias Exposed: Trump’s Vindication and the Embarrassment of a Trusted Institution

For years, I’ve watched the corporate media twist facts, frame narratives, and hide behind “anonymous sources.” It’s a dangerous trend — one that erodes public trust and gives room for propaganda under the guise of journalism.

The use of unnamed sources was one of the key weapons used against President Donald Trump. Remember the so-called Russian collusion story? For years, major outlets — guided by shadowy sources and partisan motives — insisted that Trump and his family were guilty. Congressman Adam Schiff became a regular guest on prime-time news, declaring Trump compromised by Moscow.

But when the dust settled, the entire story collapsed. Investigations revealed no evidence of collusion. Even former intelligence officials acknowledged that the Obama-era intelligence apparatus laid the groundwork for what turned out to be a politically motivated hoax. The media didn’t just get it wrong — they helped spread a lie.

Now, the BBC — long viewed as a symbol of trustworthy journalism — has been caught in a similar scandal. Recent resignations among senior BBC executives followed reports that the network deliberately edited Trump’s 2020 speech to make him appear responsible for the January 6th “insurrection.”

A Telegraph report by Associate Editor Gordon Rayner exposed how a BBC consultant’s internal dossier warned management of growing left-wing bias in its coverage. Among the examples was the manipulation of Trump’s remarks — a calculated edit that changed the meaning of his words entirely.

Had these distortions gone unchallenged, they could have fueled even more legal and political persecution of Trump. Fortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld that a sitting president retains immunity for official actions, preventing further misuse of power driven by media hysteria.

The lesson is simple: when journalism becomes activism, truth dies. The BBC’s fall from grace should serve as a warning to every newsroom that thinks ideology can replace integrity.

Whatever course President Trump chooses regarding the BBC, one fact stands firm — the truth has finally caught up with those who tried to rewrite it.

MEDIA INTIFADA: BBC Newsroom Descent to Hamas Mouthpiece, ‘Platforming Antisemitism’

State, County, and City Officials Nixing ‘Sanctuary’ Policies to Avoid Trump Admin. Ire

As President Donald Trump and his administration continue enforcing federal immigration law, several “sanctuary” jurisdictions have opted to reverse course and rescind policies barring state and local police from assisting federal agents. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday that Nevada has been removed from the Trump administration’s public list of “sanctuary” jurisdictions after 17 sheriffs, under the leadership of Governor Joe Lombardo (R), recommitted to cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), honoring ICE detainers, and assisting in the arrests of illegal immigrants.

“When others cower, real leaders step up. I applaud the Nevada Sheriffs’ & Chiefs’ Association and Governor [Lombardo] for their commitment to working with [ICE] to protect American citizens from dangerous criminal illegal aliens,” Noem said in a social media post. “Because of their efforts, Nevada has been removed from the Trump Administration’s sanctuary jurisdiction list. I encourage every leader across our nation to follow their example so that all Americans can live in peace and safety.”

In August, the Department of Justice (DOJ) published a list of “sanctuary” jurisdictions, which included Nevada and 11 other states. In a letter to Noem, the sheriffs of Carson City, Las Vegas, and Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmerelda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, Storey, Washoe, and White Pine Counties confirmed that their offices will cooperate with ICE in matters of immigration law enforcement. “We are committed to ensuring our jurisdictions are in full compliance with federal and state laws, especially when it comes to immigration enforcement actions in support of the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts,” the sheriffs wrote. “Our commitment is to serve and protect the communities of Nevada, prioritizing public safety and professionalism. Sheriffs of NV and NV Sheriffs’ and Chiefs’ Association shares federal law enforcement’s zero tolerance policy for criminals endangering Nevada communities.”

Baltimore County in Maryland also rescinded “sanctuary” policies in an effort to be removed from the DOJ’s list. County officials signed a memorandum of understanding late last month pledging to cooperate with ICE, although state leadership still largely opposes the president’s immigration agenda. “Despite restrictions from state leadership, Baltimore County has shown a willingness to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement,” Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward said in a statement. “This is a small step toward restoring public safety and we appreciate the county’s commitment to updating its policies.”

Since signing the memorandum, Baltimore County has been removed from the DOJ’s list. According to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), Maryland released nearly 400 illegal immigrants from jails and prisons between October 1 of 2022 and February 6 of 2025, including at least one illegal immigrant released from the Baltimore County Detention Center despite having a homicide conviction or charge. Maryland’s Gaithersburg Police Department and Howard County Detention Center also both released illegal immigrants who had either homicide convictions or homicide charges.

Earlier this year, Mayor Craig Greenberg (D) of Louisville, Kentucky, also rescinded “sanctuary” policies, in the face of action from the federal government. Although Greenberg insisted that the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) is “not involved in enforcing federal immigration policy,” the mayor did agree to honor ICE detainers, when ICE asks state or local police to keep an illegal immigrant already jailed for committing a crime jailed for an extended period so that ICE can safely take custody of the illegal immigrant in a law enforcement facility. “The federal government’s 48-hour detainer is standard practice for the State of Kentucky’s Department of Corrections today. It was also standard practice for Louisville Metro Corrections until 2017. We are currently the only city in Kentucky that doesn’t follow this practice,” Greenberg confessed. “Metro Corrections will begin honoring 48-hour federal detainers as soon as practical because the stakes are too high. In turn, Louisville will no longer be considered a ‘sanctuary city’ by the federal government.”

Greenberg also noted that his administration decided to comply with federal law in order to avoid federal lawsuits and targeted action by ICE. “Cities on the sanctuary city list right now are experiencing a terrifying increase in raids by ICE, including mass raids,” the mayor said. “From the data I’ve reviewed, we’re talking about under 100 inmates at our jail each year who are charged with crimes and affected by detainers. We have tens of thousands of immigrant families in Louisville. We do not want to see highly coordinated and often violent federal enforcement action here…”

In comments to The Washington Stand, Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center, suggested, “The simplest thing states and localities can do to avoid preventable crimes is to allow ICE into their prisons to pick up known criminal aliens who are about to be released following their criminal detention.” She explained, “Border Czar Tom Homan has said countless times that if sanctuary jurisdictions refuse to allow ICE into their prisons, ICE must go into the community in which the sanctuary jurisdiction released the criminal alien to take custody. This requires more planning, more agents, and resources.” Ries added, “It also endangers the agents, the alien, and community members if the alien, community members, and/or protestors refuse to cooperate with ICE or interfere with the agents.”

“The federal government should withhold federal funds from states and localities that hinder federal agents from carrying out federal laws. The Justice Department has placed several jurisdictions on notice that they may lose federal funds if they do not change their sanctuary policies,” Ries observed. “These three jurisdictions have realized the seriousness of the consequences and are course correcting to do the bare minimum — hold a criminal alien for up to an additional 48 hours for ICE to pick them up,” she continued. “It’s time for all named jurisdictions on the DOJ sanctuary list to do the same to protect their own citizens and uphold the rule of law.”

Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy Studies for CIS, told TWS, “Sanctuary policies are a serious public safety problem, and especially concerning because they are adopted for purely political reasons.” She explained, “The biggest problem is that they inevitably result in the release of criminal aliens who were arrested for local crimes and otherwise would be taken straight into ICE custody if not for the policies forced on the law enforcement agencies. We know from ICE records that a significant number (about 1/4) will commit another crime in the first few months after release (‘Rejecting Detainers, Endangering Communities’). More will re-offend if they are allowed to remain on the streets here.”

Vaughan continued, “In addition, sanctuary policies force ICE officers to do their work on the streets instead of in a secure location like a jail. This results in the kind of chaotic and dangerous situations we’re now seeing in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, and other places.”

“While many local governments see the light after tragedies happen, like the Laken Riley case, it’s clear that the diehard sanctuaries like Chicago and Boston will never abandon their policies on their own,” Vaughan observed. “That’s why it’s important for the federal government to impose consequences. Louisville and Baltimore County and a number of other jurisdictions have done the right thing, and hopefully others will follow suit.”

The DOJ’s “sanctuary” jurisdiction list currently includes California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, the District of Columbia, Cook County (Ill.), San Diego County (Calif.), San Francisco County (Calif.), Albuquerque, Berkeley (Calif.), Boston, Chicago, Denver, East Lansing (Mich.), Hoboken (N.J.), Jersey City (N.J.), Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, Newark (N.J.), Paterson (N.J.), Philadelphia, Portland, Rochester (N.Y.), Seattle, and San Francisco City.

BLOODY BERKELEY: Antifa and Keffiyeh-Clad Mobs Attack TPUSA Students

Murdering Turning Point’s founder in cold blood wasn’t enough.

ANTIFA lit off flares, ATTACKED attendees, openly celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder and violently broke down the event barriers.

On November 10, 2025, hundreds of protesters clashed with police and attendees outside a Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley, the final stop of a campus tour honoring assassinated founder Charlie Kirk, killed in a politically motivated shooting on September 10. Demonstrators from far-left groups lit flares, threw bottles, and chanted against the conservative organization, resulting in multiple arrests for vandalism, altercations, and barrier breaches. Inside Zellerbach Hall, speakers including Rob Schneider and Dr. Frank Turek addressed a packed audience of supporters as riot-geared police protected the venue and escorted families amid the outdoor chaos.

Bloody brawl breaks out as agitators protest TPUSA event at UC Berkeley in California

By Andrea Margolis , Nikolas Lanum , Elizabeth Heckman, Fox News, Nov. 11, 2025:

A bloody fight broke out near the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday afternoon, ahead of a Turning Point USA event on campus.

The event, which will feature Dr. Frank Turek and Rob Schneider, marks the end of the “This Is The Turning Point” tour.

It takes place just two months after TPUSA’s founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a campus event in Utah on Sept. 10.

The confrontation erupted at around 4:30 PST.

During the brawl, two men were seen fighting each other, one of whom had blood gushing from his face.

Video taken by Fox News Digital also shows a crowd of agitators gathering around the fight.

Many demonstrators wore keffiyehs and carried signs with left-wing messages.

Local police had difficulty containing the agitators and were seen putting on shield masks and gathering batons.

Israel and India: The Defense Ties That Bind

Of the 1.3 billion people in India, at least 1.1 million Hindus and Sikhs have no love for Islam. When Muslims ruled over India, between 70 and 80 million Hindus were massacred, until those Mughal rulers realized it was better to keep the Hindus alive so that they might provide the jizyah that would support the Muslim state. India and Israel thus have a natural affinity with one another, sharing a common enemy,, and the latest defense deals between the two countries are another example of the ties that bind. More on those deals can be found here: “Israel’s Rampage missile success in Operation Sindoor drives new India defense deal,” Jerusalem Post, November 10, 2025:

Ministry of Defense director general Gen. (res.) Amir Baram last week signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with his Indian counterpart Rajesh Kumar Singh for strengthening defense collaboration. India is the biggest customer of Israel’s defense industries, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Between 2020 and 2024, India accounted for about 34% of all Israel’s defense exports.

Building on this, a delegation from the Indian Ministry of Defense has secretly visited Israel, as reported on the “India Defense Research Wing” website, to reach agreements that would allow India to not only procure Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) Air Lora ballistic missiles and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ice Breaker cruise missiles, but also to manufacture them.

Allowing another country to manufacture its most advanced ballistic and cruise missiles is a sign of how close the Jewish state’s ties with India have become. It is especially notable because India also has ties to Russia, and if the Russians were to acquire that missile technology, and then to pass it on to Moscow’s quasi-ally Iran, this would be cause for alarm. Apparently Israel’s defense and security establishment has faith that the Indians will be able to protect the secrets of the Jewish state’s latest ballistic and cruise missiles. I assume that no Muslims will be involved in the manufacturing of those missiles.

Previous reports in India have already suggested that India wants Air Lora missiles following the great success of the Rampage missiles during recent skirmishes with Pakistan. Rampage has a range of about 250 kilometers, and the Indian Air Force deploys it on Sukhoi 30 and MiG 29 aircraft. It is very precise, but its range puts India’s combat aircraft at risk from Pakistan’s Chinese-produced air defense systems. The Air Lora missile has a range of 400 kilometers, which enables combat aircraft to hit their targets without endangering themselves in the face of advanced air defenses.

Air Lora, which was developed in IAI’s MLM Division, is designed for attacking missile sites, military bases, and air defense systems, without endangering planes and pilots. The missile weighs 1,600 kilograms, flies at supersonic speeds, and uses satellite navigation protected against disruption. One of its outstanding features is that it is “fire and forget”, meaning that once it has been launched at the target, there is no need to guide it. It can carry various warheads, for deployment against soft targets or against bunkers. With its 400 kilometers range and accuracy to within ten meters, it will enable India to hit any Pakistani base.

At the same time, India is also interested in the “Ice Breaker” cruise missile, which is designed for attacks at ranges of about 300 km against land and sea targets. The missile is effective in all weather conditions, can function well in environments saturated with electronic warfare, and has infrared (IIR)-based navigation and missile guidance capabilities, which, through AI, can acquire and identify targets.

Israeli defense industries in general, and IAI in particular, are very experienced in operations in India….

The Indian military was impressed with how well the Rampage missiles that it had bought from Israel performed in the latest skirmish with Pakistan. And that, in turn, made the Indians eager to acquire the Air Lora ballistic missiles and the “Ice Breaker” cruise missiles from Israel. In fact, the Israelis did not agree just to sell both missiles to India, but to allow the Indians to manufacture them, a sign of the tremendous trust between the two states’ militaries.

One wonders if, given India’s eagerness to have access to Israel’s advanced weaponry, the Israelis could not persuade the Indians to cease voting against the Jewish state at the UN, and even, instead of voting “Present,” do the right thing and vote, along with the United States and a dozen other countries, against those endless anti-Israel resolutions that keep being brought to a vote at the General Assembly.

Counterspell Group Video: Counter-Revolutionary Ethics

This site has repeatedly stated that allegiance to people in uniform is only prudent when they are acting on the principles of a republic. In simpler terms, fealty to the police is a good idea when the police are enforcers of the law and protectors of your safety and your property.

When the police are agents of the state doing the exact opposite of these things, then they are state thugs and should be feared and treated as the enemy of the people. Because they are.

The same exact reasoning needs to be applied to all the institutions of state. When they serve the purpose for which they were created, then they are venerable. But when they are captured and serve the purpose of the enemy of Western Civilization, individualism and individual rights, and the right to property, then they must be disobeyed. They are no longer the institutions for which we were all willing to make small sacrifices for.

Counter-spell tends to overconfidence perhaps. Much like Stephen Coughlin’s thinking, which runs along similar lines. This site likely does as well, and for that I apologize. But this video should be stopped and thought about whenever you hear a sentence that doesn’t click right away. Stop it, think about it, and continue.

PODCAST: Rising Tide of Left-Wing Political Violence

The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk is not merely the loss of a man, but the silencing of one of the most articulate defenders of faith, freedom, and America’s constitutional order. Charlie was a believer in God, and he recognized, as the Founders did, that liberty comes from Him, not from government.

That conviction made him a champion of the Constitution and of America’s unique tradition of opportunity for all. It also made him a target for those on the extreme Left who increasingly despise both God and freedom.

‘The Dirty Neck … Must Be Cut Off’: Japan’s New Leader Sanae Takaichi Wastes No Time Duking It Out With China

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi started a feud with Chinese officials Friday by defending Taiwan and claiming China’s use of force on Taiwan could threaten Japan’s survival.

Takaichi is a conservative who was elected as Japan’s first female prime minister in October. She believes a Chinese attack on Taiwan could potentially create a scenario that threatens her country, according to The Guardian.

“The so-called Taiwan contingency has become so serious that we have to anticipate a worst-case scenario,” she informed a parliamentary committee.

The conflict escalated after China’s Consul General Xue Jian said in a now-deleted Saturday X post that China has “no choice but to cut off that dirty neck,” according to multiple reports.

“We have no choice but cut off that dirty neck that has been lunged at us without hesitation. Are you ready?” the post read.

“Are you ready?” the post continued, sharing a link to an article referencing Takaichi’s remarks, according to The Guardian.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan George Glass shared a picture of the deleted post.

“The mask slips — again,” he said, according to a translation of his X post. He alleged that Xue had previously compared Israel to Nazi Germany, and that Xue’s post threatens Takaichi and the Japanese people.

“Time for Beijing to behave like the ‘good neighbor’ it talks repeatedly about — but fails repeatedly to become,” Glass concluded.

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said Monday that Xue’s post was “extremely inappropriate.”

“While the intent of (Xue’s) post is not entirely clear, we must say the comment … was extremely inappropriate,” according to Politico.

Japan’s Foreign Ministry submitted a “strong protest” and requested that Xue’s post be deleted, according to the outlet.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Xue’s post was personal, and that it was “directed at the erroneous and dangerous remarks that attempt to separate Taiwan from China’s territory and advocate military intervention in the Taiwan Strait.”

He claimed some Japanese politicians and media were exacerbating the issue, Politico reported. Lin added that China has submitted “solemn complaints and protests” against Japan over Takaichi’s comments.

Zohran Mamdani’s Victory Signals the Islamic Siege on America

Fellow Americans, the red, white, and blue nightmare we’ve warned about for years has crashed through the gates of our greatest city like a Trojan horse packed with Sharia decrees. Last night, as the final votes trickled in from the concrete jungles of New York, the unthinkable became reality: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old radical democratic socialist and unapologetic Muslim activist, has seized the mayoralty of New York City. This isn’t just a loss for moderates like Andrew Cuomo or the embattled incumbent Eric Adams – it’s the opening salvo in a calculated Islamist takeover of America’s urban heartlands. If we don’t rise up now, with fire in our veins and steel in our resolve, every mayor’s office from sea to shining sea will fall to these infiltrators, turning the Stars and Stripes into a prayer rug under foreign boots.

Let’s cut through the liberal spin machine’s fog of “progressive triumph” and “historic firsts.” Mamdani isn’t some plucky underdog; he’s a foot soldier in a global jihadist playbook that’s been exported from Tehran to Tehran-on-the-Hudson. Born in Uganda to South Asian Muslim parents, this Queens assemblyman has built his career on DSA fever dreams – defund the police, open borders for endless migrants, and a housing “revolution” that reeks of wealth redistribution straight out of the Communist Manifesto with a hijab twist. But peel back the layers of his slick social media memes and multilingual voter pandering, and you’ll find a man whose loyalties lie not with the Constitution, but with the ummah – the global Muslim brotherhood that views Western democracy as a stepping stone to caliphate rule.

Don’t take our word for it; the establishment media, in their desperate bid to normalize this abomination, parades the same damning evidence under headlines of “celebration.” NPR crowed that Mamdani’s win makes him “the first Muslim and person of South Asian descent” to hold the office, as if that’s a badge of honor rather than a blaring klaxon for cultural conquest. The Guardian, ever the apologist for radical chic, gushes over his “buoyant jaunts” and “message centered on affordability,” conveniently ignoring how his campaign war chest overflowed with dark money from Islamist networks masquerading as “community organizers.” And CNN? They fawn over his “personal magnetism” that “attracted a diverse coalition,” code for importing vote blocs from Somalia to Syria who’ll tip the scales toward halal zoning laws and burqa mandates. These aren’t isolated reports; they’re a chorus of complicity, from Politico’s “sharp-elbowed campaign” puff pieces to NBC’s projection of his “rapid rise,” all whitewashing the existential threat.

Mamdani’s platform? A venomous cocktail of anti-American poison. He vows to slash NYPD funding – already a joke under Adams – while funneling billions into “equity programs” that prioritize migrant hostels over veteran shelters. His “relentless improvement” rhetoric, as CBS parroted in their victory lap, translates to relentless erosion of Judeo-Christian values: prayer rooms in every school, Sharia-compliant finance for city bonds, and a blind eye to honor killings rebranded as “cultural clashes.” Remember his debate clashes with Cuomo, where he dodged questions on Israel like a Hamas operative evading IDF drones? That’s not debate; that’s declaration of war on our allies. And his victory speech, quoting socialist relic Eugene Debs? It’s the siren song of the caliphate, luring the naive with promises of “affordability” while plotting to make New York the blueprint for Dearborn 2.0 nationwide.

This isn’t hyperbole; it’s history repeating its bloodiest chapter. Look south to Hamtramck, Michigan, where Muslim-majority councils have already banned Pride flags and mandated Islamic calls to prayer blaring over taxpayer speakers. Or Londonistan, where Sadiq Khan’s mayoral reign has turned Big Ben into a muezzin’s megaphone. Mamdani’s ascension – defeating Cuomo by nine points, per the New York Times’ precinct maps – is the American sequel, scripted by the same shadowy imams who fund CAIR and its tentacles. Even Trump saw it coming, endorsing Cuomo and threatening to choke federal funds to this budding theocracy. But the elites laughed it off, just as they did when 9/11’s masterminds plotted in Jersey City mosques.

Patriots, the dominoes are toppling. If New York falls – and it has, with Mamdani’s “unstoppable force” of youthful radicals and imported voters, as The Guardian boasts – Chicago’s Lori Lightweight will be ousted by a keffiyeh-clad councilman next. Minneapolis, already a no-go zone, will elect a full Sharia slate. And don’t get us started on San Francisco’s tech mullahs waiting in the wings. This is no organic “diversity”; it’s demographic warfare, accelerated by Biden’s border floodgates that dumped millions of military-age men from hostile lands into our voting rolls. Mamdani’s coalition – Black, Hispanic, and fresh-off-the-boat blocs – flipped the Bronx, per NYT data, proving the strategy: overwhelm, outvote, occupy.

We will not go quietly into this long night of dhimmitude! Arm yourselves with truth, not tolerance. Boycott the businesses that bankrolled this coup. Flood your statehouses with demands for voter ID ironclad as Fort Knox. Support leaders like Sliwa, who at least growled back in defeat. March on City Hall – not with pitchforks, but with the full fury of the First Amendment. Recall laws, ballot initiatives, congressional probes: unleash them all. If Mamdani rams through his “ambitious agenda” of socialist surrender, impeach him before he turns Gracie Mansion into a madrasa.

The hour is late, but the fight is ours. America didn’t birth freedom to watch it be beheaded by ballot-box barbarians. From the heartland to the harbors, rally now – or watch your mayors trade gavels for Qurans, and your flag for the black banner of conquest. The takeover starts in NYC; it ends with us. Rise, roar, reclaim!
