The Murdered Hostages and the Western Cheerleaders For Hamas

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

As the six murdered hostages are being buried in Israel, Brendan O’Neill has some furious words for Western antisemites who have been cheerleading their murderers in Hamas. He rounds on them here: “The deaths of these hostages shame the Western conscience,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, September 1, 2024:

…Now this is resistance. Unprepared, unarmed, these six young people did what they could to resist the anti-Semitic savagery of the invading army from Gaza. They repelled its grenades, rescued some of its intended targets, tended to the victims of its racist sadism. They didn’t ask for war, they didn’t expect war, they didn’t deserve war. But when it came, brutishly intruding on their kibbutzim and parties, they took action that helped to minimize the Jewish people’s suffering. It is a testament to Western radicals’ swirling moral disarray and their detachment from civilisational values that they referred to the racist invaders of Israel as the ‘resistance’, and the Jewish heroes who fought back as ‘colonizers’.

But this goes beyond foolish ‘left’ apologism for Hamas. It goes beyond excuse-making for terror. There is a case to be made that the self-styled progressive conscience of the West has not been complacent in the face of Hamas’s barbarism, but complicit. Many in the West played an active role in justifying the kidnapping of people like Goldberg-Polin, Lobanov, Gat, Sarusi, Yerushalmi and Danino. They actively bolstered the kidnappers’ claims to be resistance fighters, and they actively prevented the raising of awareness of the kidnap victims, particularly through the destruction of posters featuring their faces. They were more than bystanders to a pogrom – they were unpaid PR men for the pogromists….
Kamala Harris has questions to answer here. She’s issued a welcome, angry statement on the slaughter of the six hostages, describing it as ‘an outrage’. And yet for months she sternly instructed Israel not to launch a ‘major military operation’ in Rafah. There will be ‘consequences’, she warned. It is now known that in Rafah, an American citizen was being held captive. Now killed. Is this the first time in history an American leader warned of ‘consequences’ over the rescue of an American rather than over the kidnap of an American? As National Review summarises it, ‘Kamala Harris warned Israel of “consequences” if it invaded Rafah, where Hamas just murdered an American hostage’.

Here’s the only question that matters right now: are Jewish lives worth fighting for? Some of us think they are. Others, from the top of politics to the frenzied anti-Semites on the streets, seem to think otherwise. It is tempting to see the West’s moral disorder over Israel-Hamas as a consequence of that old problem, ‘the sleep of reason’, the sleep of our conscience. But in truth, the West’s conscience has been wide awake, and excitable, and noisy, and it has sided not with kidnapped Jews, but with their kidnappers. Let us hope the memory of the six slain will be a blessing – and let us hope their deaths will be a lesson for a West that seems utterly morally lost.

Brendan O’Neill is enraged at the “morally lost” in the West who have chosen to sympathize not with the six murdered Israelis, but with the Hamas killers who murdered them, just as for the last eleven months of the war in Gaza, so many in the increasingly antisemitic West have expressed their support not for the embattled Jewish state, but for those who would, if they could, wipe that state off the face of the earth. His savage indignation is exactly what is called for.

Violent Crime Creating ‘Dystopian Hell’ Despite Biden’s Claim America Is Safer

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

President Joe Biden’s policies have not contributed to a decrease in violent crime, multiple sources told the Daily Caller, despite the Biden-Harris administration seizing on a recent report that seemed to show major cities were safer in 2024.

One liberal-run city is a “dystopian hell,” remarked a police union representative to the Caller. Additionally, changes in reporting protocols create the “illusion” of safety, according to one law enforcement officer.

A report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association captured data on violent crime from 69 cities. New York City was not included because it did not submit violent crime numbers for the first half of this year. An Axios analysis of the data found a 6% overall decrease in violent crime in the first half of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. The data appeared to show steep drops in violent crime, including a 41% drop in Columbus, Ohio – the largest decline in the country.

Officers in the city, however, face a starkly different reality.

Lies, Damned Lies, And Crime Statistics

“Our officers and the citizens they serve are still battling violent crime daily,” Brian Steel, President of the Ninth Capital City Lodge Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) in Ohio, told the Caller. “Recent changes in crime reporting have done little more than create the illusion that all is well.”

Steel provided the Caller with the Columbus Police Department’s Homicide Reporting protocol. Police Chief Elaine Bryant took office in 2021, and the protocol was subsequently updated in 2022.

The department’s “annual homicide clearance rate” is determined based on FBI standards, according to the protocol.

The clearance rate is derived from “the total number of new homicides in a calendar year” and “the total number of homicides that are cleared that calendar year, regardless of the year the homicide occurred,” the document reads.

Steel explained how this transition impacts homicide statistics.

If a detective solved a cold case in 2024, but the homicide was committed in 2020, then that case goes toward the clearance rate for 2024. The policy increases the clearance rate and “makes itself better,” Steel added, but it didn’t used to be that way.

The FBI switched from its century-old method of collecting crime data to the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) in 2021. The left-leaning Marshall Project reported that almost 40% of law enforcement agencies did not submit data in 2021 to NIBRS, including New York City and Los Angeles.

Nebraska’s FOP President Anthony Conner told the Caller about his experience with changes in how crime is reported, although he argued homicide numbers are the best metric “because you can’t hide a dead body.”

He explained how when he first started on the police force over 20 years ago, if there was a shooting at a house, every person inside was documented as a felony assault victim.

“Well, they decided to change that,” Conner told the Caller. He stated that now, if police cannot identify the intended target, the charge is downgraded from a felony assault to a misdemeanor property crime.

Paul Ware, a 30-year law enforcement veteran and retired Portland, Oregon, police officer of 21 years, told the Caller some cities are not reporting all their crimes.

“They’re reporting the lesser crimes,” Ware told the Caller. “And so decreasing crime is, quite frankly, not real, because all they’re doing is reclassifying the crimes that they have on the streets into something other than exactly what it was.”

There is an incentive for cities to report lower levels of crime, California FOP President Roger Hilton explained to the Caller. He pointed to a July investigation published by the San Francisco Chronicle that revealed Oakland “overstated” its drop in crime.

Hilton stated California adopted measures that enable crime, specifically Proposition 47.

“Cops have limited tools to arrest people, and if they do arrest them, they’re out faster, before we can even finish writing the report,” Hilton told the Caller.

Voters approved Proposition 47 in 2014, and it demoted the classification of most nonviolent drug and property felonies to misdemeanors, according to Ballotpedia. This includes theft and fraud amounting up to $950.

Hilton also noted how charges can be downgraded during the sentencing process.

“As it goes through the criminal justice system, sometimes a lot of charges get dropped along the way,” he said, noting how the FBI gets its information from other law enforcement agencies.

“It’s hard for me to say how all of those things are all reported, and I doubt that they’re very consistent,” Hilton told the Caller.

Where Violent Crime Has Decreased, It’s Not Because Of The Biden Administration

The Axios analysis of the MCCA report showed Omaha, Nebraska, experienced a 30% decrease in violent crime.

Conner told the Caller violent crime decreased in Omaha because the police department cracked down on gang violence.

“Omaha has a Republican mayor who has been very supportive of law enforcement,” Conner said. Omaha’s Police Chief was instrumental in restructuring the department to effectively tackle gang violence, he noted.

The County District Attorney actually prosecutes homicides, unlike a lot of DAs around the country who are letting criminals free, according to Conner. 

Conner said due to officer shortages, however, Omaha’s violent crime could start trending the other way. “We are down 126 officers, maybe even more than that now,” he told the Caller, noting the department is roughly 14% short of officers.

The Biden-Harris administration capitalized on the report and said violent crime hit a “record” 50-year low in the first part of 2024 in an August press release. The White House claimed its gun control polices and “American Rescue Plan” contributed to the decrease in violent crime.

Executive Director for Right On Crime and former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman disagreed, stressing crime is primarily a local issue.

“The policies that he’s talking about, like the background check, expanded background checks and all those things, has had virtually zero to do with any of the rise or the fall in the dropping crime,” Tolman told the Caller. “And I’ve yet to hear them articulate a policy they implemented that would.”

He explained the main deterrent is predictability, or when individuals believe they are going to be caught and punished for violating the law.

“You can lengthen sentence. You can shorten the sentence. You can do things that have no impact on deterring crime, but the predictability is the only factor,” he said.

The Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald told the Caller funding is essentially meaningless if people do not want to join the police force.

“There’re still departments that are completely unable to recruit and hold on to the officers that they’ve got,” she said. “Frankly, crime and policing are very local matters. There’s not a heck of a lot the federal government can do in terms of crime tactics and strategies.”

She emphasized the Biden admin should change its rhetoric if it actually wanted to help law enforcement.

“The one thing it should avoid doing is demoralizing the cops by calling them racist.”

The End Result Of Progressive Policies: ‘A Dystopian Hell’

One of the cities that reportedly experienced a drop in crime was Oakland, California – but locals tell a different story.

“If you walk around Oakland now, it is like a dystopian hell,” Sam Singer, who represents the Oakland Police Officers Association (OPOA), told the Caller. “And you know, small business are suffering.”

The OPOA sent a letter to the office of Mayor Sheng Tao calling for her to resign by Aug. 8, NBC Bay Area reported. They blamed Tao and the City Council majority for slashing the police force from 712 to 678 officers.

He said the OPOA is doubtful about the reported decrease in crime.

“Anyone who lives or works in Oakland, in the neighborhoods, small businesses, even major businesses, sees violent crime is out of control in the city, and the police force is essentially at half the strength it ought to be.”

Singer claimed “progressive leftists” in the city’s government defunded the police at a time when more police officers were needed.

Across the country, Americans are feeling the effects of rampant crime in major cities. In downtown Seattle, for example, a massive development project was stalled due in part to “open-air drug markets,” among other illegal activities.

‘Sorely Needed’: Speaker Johnson May Attach SAVE Act to Government Funding Bill

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Congressional Republicans say House leadership will likely attach a bill to prevent illegal immigrants from voting in U.S. elections — a bill Republicans say is necessary for the “protection of citizenship and our national sovereignty”— to a must-pass government funding bill as a precondition for avoiding a government shutdown.

Multiple sources indicate Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) will add the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to a continuing resolution, or CR, which Congress needs to pass before October 1 to avert a government shutdown.

“I suspect you’re going to see a CR with the SAVE Act coming up in the next two to three weeks,” predicted Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) on “Washington Watch” Wednesday. “What the Speaker has discussed with us is a six-month continuing resolution. You and I both don’t love that,” Perry told the program’s guest host, former Congressman Jody Hice, “but that gets us into the Trump administration, God willing, if he were to prevail. But included with that would be attaching to that the SAVE Act, which requires states then to verify citizenship of every one of their voters. And that’s something that is sorely needed.”

Congressional Republicans see the bill as necessary to fix a loophole in federal law that may incentivize illegal immigrants to vote in U.S. elections. The SAVE Act amends the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (sometimes called the “Motor-Voter Law”), which stipulates that anyone who applies for a driver’s license must be offered the opportunity to register to vote. The form asks applicants to certify they are U.S. citizens, but a court ruling prevents officials from taking any steps to verify the applicant’s citizenship. The SAVE Act would require officials to assure the would-be voter’s U.S. citizenship before an illegal ballot gets cast.

Democrats object to the law as unnecessary and redundant, saying existing laws already bar non-citizens from voting. But Republicans say the current landscape does nothing to prevent illegal immigrants from voting. “Of course, it’s already illegal for people that are here illegally to vote, but that’s not to say it doesn’t happen, because no one is enforcing it,” explained Perry. “This would require states to actually enforce the law.” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) wrote in an op-ed for Breitbart that Congress finds itself “in the historically unique position” of being able to leverage government funding for election security.

“Asking for proof of citizenship should not bother anyone. That’s the only way that we can protect the integrity of citizenship and the integrity of our elections,” Ken Blackwell, senior fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance at Family Research Council, told Hice later in the show. “This is a situation that cries out for more … protection of citizenship and our national sovereignty.”

With just two months before the 2024 presidential election, Republicans see the election integrity bill, which has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, as pivotal. Speaker Johnson called the bill “a generation-defining moment” in U.S. civic history. “We see it as a potential game changer,” said Perry. “We just want our elections to be fair, but determined by American citizens. And the fact that the Democrats oppose that should tell you everything you need to know.” The bill has the support of conservatives in both houses of Congress. “This is where the House Freedom Caucus and I stand: While we oppose passing any CR, if it’s forced upon us, we will fight to ensure the SAVE Act is part of the deal. It’s time to hold the line and demand accountability, because secure elections should be non-negotiable,” said Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) in a statement emailed to The Washington Stand.

As concerns over illegal voting take center stage in Washington, the issue is winding its way through the nation’s courts, as well. On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) sued Bexar County after its commissioners pressed forward with a plan to send mail-in ballots to all county residents, regardless of their eligibility or citizenship status. “This program is completely unlawful and potentially invites election fraud,” said Paxton. The move comes after Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) removed more than 1.1 million ineligible registrants — including 7,000 non-citizens — from the state’s voting rolls.

In neighboring Arizona, America First Legal sued all 15 county recorders for failing to remove illegal and ineligible voters from the system ahead of November’s election. The lawsuit contends that two provisions of federal law — 8 U.S.C. § 1373(c) and 8 U.S.C. § 1644 — allow state and local officials to obtain information about applicants’ citizenship, an authority which they have failed to use. “America First Legal will do everything in its power to fight mass illegal alien voting and foreign interference in our democracy,” said Stephen Miller, a former Trump aide.

The road ahead at the federal level is not without obstacles. Some in Washington oppose attaching the SAVE Act to the CR, and many House conservatives have expressed displeasure that the House must pass a CR rather than legislating discreet bills for each area of government. Two congressmen — Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) — have announced they will vote against the bill. Perry said the speaker’s solution is the most practical response. “We’re going to be left with a couple options: a continuing resolution, which keeps spending the same amount of money [and the] same policy until the deal is worked out, or an omnibus, which would be terribly written in Chuck Schumer’s office by his staff, spending wildly” and codifying “terrible policy,” said Perry.

Democrats in both chambers have gone all-out to oppose the measure. A meager five House Democrats voted for the SAVE Act in July, with 198 opposed. (The Democrats who voted in favor were Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez Jr. of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington.)

Polls show the American people believe the Republicans have the better part of the argument. A whopping 87% of Americans support the bill’s goal of assuring only Americans vote in American elections. “I’m for those wanting a better life to get the opportunity to become a citizen the right way. But if you’re not American, you shouldn’t be voting. Simple as that,” said NFL great Brett Favre.

Despite overwhelming public support, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has pronounced any funding measure including the SAVE Act “dead on arrival.” And Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Patty Murray (D-Wash.) called the bill’s election integrity measures “outrageous partisan poison pills.”

“Chuck Schumer might say it’s dead on arrival,” but if the House passes the election integrity bill as part of the must-pass bill, the Democrat is “going to have no choice to either accept that, or he will be responsible for shutting down the government,” Perry told Hice. “If the government shuts down over the Democrats’ unholy obsession with noncitizen voting, that’s on Chuck Schumer,” said Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) in a social media post. Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) made similar comments Wednesday during comments to the Republican Jewish Coalition.

“Sure would be a strange reason to shut down the U.S. government,” noted Elon Musk, who became a legal immigrant to the United States in 2002.

But Blackwell does not believe the bill will cause a stand-off in Congress. “By actually shining some spotlight on this challenge, I think that we can we can pull the curtain down on this illegal action,” said Blackwell, who oversaw Ohio’s elections as Secretary of State (1999-2007).

Nothing is more important to American political life than safeguarding the integrity of the ballot, he said. “Every vote counts. And so protecting the integrity of the system by making sure that there’s no illegal vote that cancels out a legal ballot is prudent. We cannot sit on the sidelines. Each citizen of the United States has to demand this integrity, has to demand this sort of transparency, has to get involved. And we must continue to make sure that we have as many people as observers and workers at the polling places as possible at the precinct level.”

“We should not have a polling place in America that is not covered by two sets of eyes, bipartisan sets of eyes, so that we have transparency. So, make sure you go to your local party, go to your local county office, and ask how you can become involved as a worker or an observer,” he exhorted.

“We cannot let darkness prevail in this election,” Blackwell concluded.

Russia Russia Redux

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Department of Justice pulled out the big guns this week to announce yet another Russian government-sponsored effort to influence the 2024 election.

WATCH: Russia Russia Redux

Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared side by side with FBI Director Christopher Wray to beat the drums of a dire “foreign malign influence campaign” aimed of course at supporting Donald Trump and maligning Democrats.

If it sounds familiar, of course it is. The Democrats are already setting up their “insurance policy” in the increasingly likely event that Comrade Kamala loses the November election.

So what actually happened? The DoJ on Wednesday released a a warrant for the seizure of 32 Internet domains used by Russian-government sponsored actors, and indicted Putin advisor Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko and a series of Russian social media companies for their role in the scheme.

Kiriyenko allegedly directed an operation to set up a phony Internet broker in Tennessee that then hired “right-wing” bloggers to spread Russian propaganda, in particular as regards the Ukraine war but also the U.S. elections.

One influencer was allegedly paid $1 million for his services. When contacted by the media he said he had no knowledge of the Russians or of Russian involvement with the Tennessee media company. Another posted on X that he was the victim, not the perpetrator, of the alleged influence campaign.

In total, the DoJ claimed the Russians spent $10 million on this nefarious campaign to trick unwitting American voters into voting for Donald Trump with videos about our porous Southern border and other hot-button topics.

You may recall that in 2020, Mark Zuckerberg spent over $400 million with left-wing “voters advocacy” groups to set up drop boxes and otherwise increase voter turnout in Democrat areas. But that wouldn’t be election interference in the eyes of the DoJ.

Nor would the pathetic lionization of Kamala Harris by the formerly mainstream media we’ve been inundated with since Biden withdrew from the race.

It is truly astonishing how the media pundits can with a straight face gush over Comrade Kamala, who just months earlier was widely considered the dumbest person to have achieved high political office in the United States. Ever.

President Trump is calling this another Russia Russia hoax. I prefer to think of it as a Russia Russia feint.

Instead of wondering why the Russians are trying to influence a U.S. election, something they’ve been doing since the Comintern was established in 1919, we should be looking in the mirror at our own willingness to demonize our political opponents.

The Russians are sowing confusion and inciting division among Americans? That is precisely what social media has been doing since Facebook first came on the scene in 2004.

The radicalization and hyper-ventilating generated by social media makes us vulnerable to the type of media manipulation we are now seeing (on a VERY small scale) from Russia and Iran. Our enemies are merely taking advantage of our vulnerabilities — and why wouldn’t they?

Sure, the FBI should be chasing Russian spies and influencers. But the rest of us ought to be looking in the mirror, too. And try spending less time on social media.

I discuss this as well as the new French prime minister, Turkey joining BRICS, and a new strategy for defeating the Islamist regime in Iran on this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend. As always, you can listen live at 1 PM on Saturday on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville, Florida, area, or listen to the podcast later.

Yours in freedom.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Totally Silent’: Donald Trump Jr. Says Media Won’t Give Walz Family The Mary Trump Treatment

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Donald Trump Jr. explained he does not believe the media will cover that several members of Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s family, including his own brother, are reportedly supporting his rival, former President Donald Trump, in an exclusive Wednesday interview with the Daily Caller.

A photo circulated the internet earlier in the day of eight people reportedly related to the Democratic Vice President nominee Walz, all wearing “Walz for Trump” shirts. They were all also standing in front of a “Trump 2024,  Take America Back” flag. The Caller asked Trump Jr. about the photo and if he thinks it will make a difference in the election, to which the former president’s eldest son said he believes the media will be “totally silent” on the issue. He compared it to his father’s niece, Mary Trump, who has been an outspoken critic of his father, but who Trump Jr. says he has seen once in 25 years for a brief period of time.

The photo was originally shared by a friend of the family, then posted by former Republican Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster, Newsweek reported.

“It’s interesting how the media is totally silent on that. They made Mary Trump into the biggest Trump family, like ‘knowledgeable person.’ This is someone I literally think I’ve seen her once in 25 years and that was at my aunt’s birthday party at the white House for like 90 minutes, maybe two hours. Somewhere in the middle of my father’s presidency. I hadn’t seen her since I was probably early teens prior to that. But they put her on TV as the most knowledgeable person on the Trump family. We’ve never even seen this person in years. It’s just part of the grift,” Trump Jr. told the Caller.

Mary Trump published a book about Trump calling him “the World’s Most Dangerous Man” and has continued to criticize him throughout his presidency. She has accused Trump of using racist slurs and more, something he has continued to deny. In September 2021, Trump filed a $100 million lawsuit against The New York Times and Mary Trump, alleging his confidential tax documents were shared improperly and that his niece was pressured into sharing the information.

Walz has come under fire for signing legislation in favor of putting tampons in boys bathrooms, accusations of stolen valor regarding him claiming to have served in combat and his history and relationship with China. These were just some of the issues Trump Jr. mentioned to the Caller regarding the VP nominee.

“So I hope the media gives them as much attention as they gave Trump family members that didn’t like my father or were willing to lie about him or whatever it may be. That won’t actually happen. But if by the media’s own rules, we should take everything that they say into great consideration,” he continued. “And frankly, based on the rest of Tim Walz’s policies, based on the way he let his home state burn to the ground, based on the prioritization of putting tampons in boys bathrooms, based on his stolen valor and continued lies about all of this, the guy doesn’t seem like a good guy.”

The former president’s son went after Walz and the coverage he and his campaign have been receiving.

“It doesn’t seem like someone you’d ever want in charge of anything, let alone potentially the presidency of the United States. But again, it’s easy to get away with being a liar and a scumbag if you’re a Democrat and you have the media propaganda machine doing all your boosting for you,” Trump Jr. added.

Trump Wants Jack Smith Out From January 6 Case, Seeks His Dismissal

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Trump is an army. He is Atlas. Where is the increasingly obsolete GOP? Useless, utterly useless.

Trump has told Judge Chutkan that he will “move to dismiss the Special Counsel’s improper appointment.” He cites Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurrence in Trump that Mr. Smith’s status “must be answered before this prosecution can proceed.” Attorney General Garland defends his appointment of Mr. Smith and accuses Judge Cannon of making a “basic mistake about the law.”

Trump Will Seek Jack Smith’s Dismissal in January 6 Case, Argues That Prosecution ‘Must End as a Matter of Law’

The 45th president discloses that strategy in a brief that previews a contentious stretch in the shadow of November’s vote.

By: A.R. Hoffman, NY SUN, September 2, 2024:

The joint status report presented to Judge Tanya Chutkan and co-authored by the teams behind President Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith discloses that the two sides are anything but synced on how the 45th President should be tried for January 6. The filing is a preview of Trump’s plan to stymie the prosecution.

Judge Chutkan requested the summary in advance of a hearing she has scheduled for Wednesday on how the election subversion case against Trump ought to proceed. The prosecution has been upended — but not entirely derailed — by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States that official presidential acts are presumptively immune.

Mr. Smith digested that ruling by convening a fresh grand jury to hand up the same four charges from his original indictment, though he pared down his recitation of evidence to omit those interactions between Trump and the Department of Justice that the justices held were entitled to “absolute” immunity. His new charge sheet is nine pages shorter, but otherwise much the same.

Now, though, the two sides in the case tell Judge Chutkan that they have “differing views” on what should come next. Mr. Smith, who has for more than a year sought to push the prosecutorial pace, seeks to immediately brief the judge on “why the immunity set forth in Trump does not apply to the categories of allegations in the superseding indictment or additional unpled categories of evidence that the Government intends to introduce at trial.”

Trump maintains that such an immediate more is unduly hasty. Instead, Trump calls Mr. Smith’s alterations “substantial” and seeks “time to review the new charging instrument as he determines what steps and procedures to undertake regarding, among other motions, his Presidential immunity defense.” He reserves the right “to challenge the new indictment, and the underlying grand jury process, as a matter of law.”

The former president observes that such challenges to an indictment — or a revised one — ought to be adjudicated “before substantive proceedings, as doing so will promote judicial economy and avoid needless litigation on matters that should be rendered moot by dismissal.” That means even before the immunity question is decided. The Supreme Court mandated that a trial cannot begin before the scope of immunity owed to Trump is settled.

Trump, citing Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of charges in the Mar-a-Lago case, tells Judge Chutkan that he will “move to dismiss the Special Counsel’s improper appointment” in the District of Columbia case as well. He cites Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurrence in Trump that Mr. Smith’s status “must be answered before this prosecution can proceed.” Attorney General Garland defends his appointment of Mr. Smith and accuses Judge Cannon of making a “basic mistake about the law.”

The status report also discloses that Trump’s colloquies with Vice President Pence could prompt a fierce contest before Judge Chutkan. The Supreme Court held that those interactions were presumptively immune, but Mr. Smith elected to keep them in his new indictment. The special counsel did take care to sign post his position that they lack presidential immunity by calling Mr. Pence Trump’s “running mate” and the “President of the Senate.”

Now comes Trump to tell Judge Chutkan that he “may file a motion to dismiss focused specifically on the Special Counsel’s improper use of allegations related to Vice President Pence” because the “Special Counsel’s inability to rebut the presumption as to Pence is dispositive to this case. The special counsel will be unable to do so as a matter of law, thus rendering the remainder of the case moot.” Trump avers that “this case must end as a matter of law.”

Terrifyingly Plausible: Why You’re Wrong to Think Civil War Can’t Happen Here

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Demographer, historian, and author Neil Howe hasn’t just coined the term “Millennial,” he’s also predicted the future to an eerie degree—and he thinks America’s in for very rough seas ahead. He says a civil war in the U.S. is far more plausible than most people think, and he dismisses the reasons Americans often discount that possibility.

In 1997, he published a book with Bill Strauss, “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy—What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny.” In that book, he suggested five catalysts for a major crisis—and four of the five have already come to pass.

“One of our events was a crisis over the debt, which would issue forth in a new tea party movement,” Howe tells “The Daily Signal Podcast.” He calls it “just completely random that we happened to use that phrase,” which the tea party movement adopted in 2010.

“The other one was a WMD [weapon of mass destruction] attack on New York City,” Howe says, noting the eerie parallel with Sept. 11, 2001. “The other one was the [COVID-19] pandemic, and the fourth one was Russia invading a former Soviet republic,” such as Ukraine.

The final potential catalyst? “A nullification crisis, where one or more of the states would actually nullify federal regulation, which would lead to a new secession movement,” Howe says.

According to his generational theory, America should expect a major crisis about every 80-100 years, and we’re due for another “rendezvous with destiny” such as the Great Depression and World War II. He calls these periods “fourth turnings,” and they force society to create a new order in the civic “outer world” about 40 or 50 years after “awakenings” drive people inward, seeking order in their spiritual “inner worlds.”

Why a Civil War Is Likely

Howe notes that “our politics have taken on this kind of Manichaean style, where the red zone and blue zone are so mutually exclusive in their sense of themselves, their agenda for the nation’s future, that it hardly even matters who’s leading the party.” (“Manichaean” refers to the tendency to view one side as perfectly good and the other side as perfectly evil, and it traces back to a world religion that arose with the prophet Mani in the 200s A.D., which taught that the physical world is evil and the spiritual world is good.)

He cites Carl Becker, who wrote an essay in 1941, “The Dilemma of Modern Democracy.”

“When most of what you’re talking about is the width of sidewalks and the diameter of sewer pipes, just coordination issues, democracy works really well,” Howe says. “But when you’re talking about issues that virtually define who you are, it doesn’t work. He said no one is going to accede to a vote count that goes 51% against you.”

“You are not going to give up everything you believe in just because you came up three votes short,” he explains.

Howe says U.S. polarization reached similar levels in the 1770s, the 1850s, and the 1930s.

When The Daily Signal noted that American polarization doesn’t neatly fall along lines on a map like in the U.S. Civil War, Howe says the presence of blue cities in red states actually makes conflict more likely.

“One misconception people have is that civil wars require geographically separated places,” he notes. “This is not true, and take a look at the Spanish Civil War. That was a brutal, horrible war, and there was very little geographical contiguity about it. … It was like honeycombed. The civil war in China was the same way.”

Even in the U.S. Civil War, there were “civil wars within states,” especially in “border states.”

“And actually, your point about blue zone cities within red zone states or vice versa is a classic reason why civil wars get touched off, and why they are never resolved amicably,” Howe says.

Problems for World in U.S. Civil War

“There are two ways in which we enter this fourth turning very differently from earlier fourth turnings, which are worrying,” Howe says.

First, he notes, “government is so huge going into this fourth turning,” while most fourth turnings require government to ramp up in order to face existential threats.

Second, he notes “the size and global power of our military” make the U.S. a central player in world affairs, so a U.S. Civil War will have massive ramifications across the globe.

“If it requires our forces around the world to stand down for six months, the entire world will remake itself,” he says. “The entire world, for better or for worse, depends upon our presence to be what it is.”

Howe also notes that during a civil war, one side often asks for external help: “This is a rule through all civil wars.”

So, When Would Civil War Start?

The Daily Signal asked Howe why the “mini starter crises” of 9/11, the tea party movement, COVID-19, and the Ukraine war did not “catch fire” and ignite the massive existential crisis that defines a fourth turning.

“The survival of the country has to be at stake,” the author says.

“With regard to World War II, I think FDR made the case—it was very persuasive for the country—we did not want to be the only democracy left on earth,” he explains.

“This is the way incentives work,” Howe says. “You’ve got to feel everything’s on the line to push you to do something.”

Things have to come to a head in order to force people to come together and create a new order in society. How exactly that will happen is yet to be determined.

“Israel is under tremendous pressure right now,” President Donald J. Trump noted in a conversation with Mark Levin on Fox News.

Trump also lamented rampant antisemitism in the wake of the October 7 massacre, including denials that it even took place.

“They did that with the Holocaust too,” Trump said, adding that, October 7 denials notwithstanding, “We saw it, everybody saw it.” As such, deniers “are either conning us or they really believe it never happened, and that’s maybe even worse.”

Kamala Harris Hates You, and Wants You to Shut Up and Do What She Says

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

It has been clear for quite some time that the Biden-Harris regime is no friend of the freedom of speech and dislikes the idea of dissent. It has tried on more than one occasion to curtail Americans’ Constitutional freedoms, all under the guise of protecting us. Making us blind slaves of the authoritarian state will save “our democracy,” you see. And now Kamala Harris, in complaining about free speech on X (formerly Twitter), has made it clear: her administration would be frankly and unapologetically authoritarian. It would, in short, be the end of America as a free society, and Kamala and her minions would say “Good riddance.”

As the far-left Brazilian government shut down X in order to silence dissidents in that country, Harris signaled that she was considering doing the same thing here if she wins in November. In a video that circulated on X Friday, we see Harris telling Jake Tapper: “He has, he has lost his privileges and it should be taken down.” It’s unclear whom she has in mind for this punishment, but the more she talks, the more it seems likely that she was referring to Elon Musk, and to taking down X.

Harris continued: “And the bottom line is that you can’t say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. The same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be, a, uh, er, uh, a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of, of, of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop.”

WATCH: Kamala will shut down X if she wins

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter/X, it has broken out of the lockstep in which the other social media giants march. They all went along willingly, and even eagerly, with the Biden regime’s determination to silence COVID dissidents, although Mark Zuckerberg has now broken ranks and claimed that he would have stood for the freedom of speech, but ultimately buckled under heavy pressure from the regime. Zuckerberg’s new stance strains credulity, especially in light of the fact that after Musk made Twitter/X into a bastion of the freedom of speech, Zuckerberg went so far as to set up a shadow Twitter called Threads, where users were warned openly that they might be silenced if their speech displeased the political elites.

Now Harris is calling for all the social media giants to march in lockstep again, just as they did in the good old days before Musk muddied the waters by disrupting their unanimity and at least slowing the progression toward total authoritarian control of speech. Harris wants the social media giants to submit to “oversight” and “regulation,” which means they will say what the leftist intelligentsia wants them to say, and only that. Other voices will be deplatformed, marginalized, and silence, just as they were everywhere before Musk and still are on most platforms.

This is just the latest indication of this regime’s authoritarian bent. In addition to its work for censorship on social media, the Biden-Harris regime is the first presidential administration to see its principal opponent indicted, and on charges that many see as flimsy and politically motivated. The Biden-Harris regime also tried and failed to establish a Disinformation Governance Board that would have effectively stamped out opposition to regime policies by labeling such opposition “disinformation” and silencing it accordingly.

Harris would no doubt insist, if she were suddenly overcome by a bout of coherence, that all she wants to do is helping the public by distinguishing truth from “disinformation.” The glaring problem with this claim is that what the regime and its henchmen call “disinformation” has more than once turned out to consist of truths that were inconvenient for the regime’s agenda and policies.  One of the most notorious examples of this came in 2020, when Twitter, in an all-out effort to ensure that Biden would win the presidency, labeled the Hunter Biden laptop story “disinformation” and censored it accordingly. Fifty-one top intelligence professionals, all also avid to elect Biden, agreed that the laptop was “disinformation,” and Russian disinfo to boot, and that was that. Except the laptop was real.

We could soon be seeing many more instances of truths that harm the leftist elites being censored. The New York Post reported as far back as last February that the Biden-Harris regime was “spending millions on artificial intelligence research designed to make anti ‘misinformation’ tools which could then be passed to social media giants.” “Misinformation,” that is, in the eyes of the far-left wonks who are working on this project, and their overseers within the regime.

As always, such initiatives stem from a frank contempt for the American people, as does Harris’ taste for oversight and regulation of the only social media platform that allows for views that dissent from those of the dominant left. Harris and her fellow leftist elitists hold the American people in utter contempt, believing that we’re simply too stupid to be trusted to know right from wrong and choose our leaders properly. So Harris stands ready to silence dissent and make all our decisions for us, in accord with the will of her own handlers. That’s how totalitarian regimes work.

In a World Obsessed with Feelings, Whose Feelings Matter?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

Hidden deep within the Gospel of Yuval Harari is the question “Do children belong to their parents or to the state?” Harari’s position clearly favors the state, because the “intelligent design” he describes is an arm of the state body politic. To repeat what he said at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos on January 24, 2020:

In the coming decades, AI and biotechnology will give us godlike abilities to reengineer life, and even to create completely new life-forms. After four billion years of organic life shaped by natural selection, we are about to enter a new era of inorganic life shaped by intelligent design.

Harari’s “evolutionary” biology sees human beings as hackable animals whose future will be shaped by artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and the reengineering of life into new life-forms. The new life-forms Harari refers to are transhumanist beings totally controlled by the globalist elite—the “intelligent designers.”

To “transcend” means to go beyond the range or limits of something. Transhuman means going beyond the current limits of being human and acquiring the powers and abilities of an enhanced human being in what the World Economic Forum calls “Humanity 2.0″—the stated goal of “intelligent design.” Harari’s narrative is grooming your children for Humanity 2.0.

To understand the insidious plan to move humanity from Humanity 1.0 to Humanity 2.0, it is necessary to examine the tactical shift away from meritocracy—the traditional metric of achievement foundational to American life, progress, and success.

In a society that eliminates meritocracy by shifting its metrics from achievement to feelings, whose feelings actually matter? What is the political purpose of the shift?

Competence is the mother of self-esteem. We know this is true by simply observing the delight of young children as they learn to dress themselves, feed themselves, or sound out their first words and realize they can read! Each achievement increases the child’s competence and enhances his developing sense of self. Achievement makes little Johnny feel proud of himself and good about himself. Let’s consider what incentivizes competence and achievement, and what doesn’t. Let’s also consider the motivations for either incentivizing or discouraging competence.

If you want to know the motive, look at the result. What made America great was having its cultural roots in meritocracy. Our society awarded achievement with upward mobility. It was called the American Dream, and America was the land where American dreams came true. In every sector of society, little Johnny was encouraged to become an independent, autonomous, rational adult, capable of living a life of ordered liberty in our constitutional republic. In other words, little Johnny was encouraged to grow up and perpetuate the American Dream.

Each of little Johnny’s achievements was rewarded with praise. As he grew older, he earned grades in school that marked his achievements. Then he competed in sports with friends, and games with family. His grades were awarded with certificates of achievement or advanced placement. His sports achievements were awarded with trophies, and his wins in family games were rewarded with admiration.

The competitions all served to incentivize achievement. As an adult, Johnny competed for jobs and advancement. Winning and losing were part of everybody’s private and public life. Meritocracy was society’s infrastructure, rooted in achievement. Those who lost were encouraged to try harder, work harder, study more, and try again.

The association between individual achievement and self-esteem was unmistakable. Winning and losing were part of America’s infrastructure that anyone and everyone could identify with. Individual and team play were instrumental in teaching the valuable lessons of cooperation and teamwork. This is no small thing. Whether in a classroom, on a baseball field, or in an orchestra hall, competition encourages both individual and team competence, cooperation, and achievement.

In the 1970s, ABC’s Wide World of Sports announcer Jim McKay immortalized the words “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” His words described the drama caught on televised sports, but they also apply to the everyday lives of everyday people, describing how it feels to win and how it feels to lose. In the past, American culture supported a can-do spirit of encouragement, an ethos that insisted the agony of defeat need not triumph: anyone and everyone could experience the thrill of victory through hard work and practice. It was the same ethos that made America the greatest, freest, wealthiest nation on Earth.

But we are a world at war, whether people acknowledge it or not—a war between globalism and the nation-state. The globalist war on the nation-state is a multifaceted culture war, fought without bullets, that targets the world’s children. In an unconscionable humanitarian hoax, the globalist social engineers advanced the deceitful narrative that little Johnny’s feelings must always be protected.

To remind the reader, a humanitarian hoax is the deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy. America’s humanitarian hucksters, under the guidance of the globalist social engineers, simply eliminated competition in order to “protect” little Johnny’s feelings. No winning. No losing. No grades. No competition. No incentive for achievement. No competence. No self-esteem. No thrill of victory. Participation trophies do not incentivize achievement; they just blur the boundary between trying and doing.

Eliminating competition does not protect little Johnny from hurt feelings, or save big Johnny from the agony of defeat. Eliminating competition just disincentivizes his achievements and robs him of self-esteem. It produces a society of incompetent, dependent, childlike, fragile citizens who are very easy to manipulate and control—precisely the goal of a caretaker government.

We are born without the ability to survive on our own, entirely dependent upon our caretakers to teach us the necessary survival skills to live in society. Today, a battle is being fought in America over who are the rightful caretakers of our nation’s children.

Historically, it was the parents who had the responsibility to protect their children and prepare them for life in our constitutional republic. Increasingly, the caretakers in America are no longer the parents, because the traditional family of stay-at-home Mom and working Dad is no longer the norm. Non-traditional families are reliant on daycare, preschools, babysitters, and after-school programs to provide child care and instruction for America’s children.

Since 1979, when Jimmy Carter established the Department of Education, the government began taking an increasingly active role in children’s education. Today, the National Education Association (NEA),[i] the largest professional-employee organization in America, with over 3 million members, is a major political player. Ninety-seven percent of its millions of dollars in donations from membership dues go to Democrat and liberal political candidates. The politicization of American education is funded by labor unions as well as federal and state funding. A stunning March 31, 2023, article by journalist and political analyst Daniel Greenfield, “Whose Children? Our Children,”[ii] asserts:

The shift from the single-income family to the two-income family with preschool encompassing children as young as 18 months and then to an ever more intensive chain of state educational institutions happened gradually enough that most parents thought it was their own idea. But what the Soviet Union and Communist China had failed to accomplish, happened in America.

Children, from even before they could talk, were being raised either directly by the state or by the institutions that it closely regulated. The unintended consequences of that, emotional fragility, a lack of healthy models for interpersonal relationships, and an obsession with ‘snitching’ on others that persists well into adulthood, were only the collateral damage….

Such children raised by the state become adults who want the state to go on raising them. When they’re hungry, the state feeds them, when they’re cold, the state shelters them and when they’re unhappy, the state tells them whom to blame. When their relationships fall apart or when their feelings are hurt, they turn to the state to soothe them with a dose of revenge.

The infantilization of America is a leftist/globalist weapon of mass destruction. The American Dream has been replaced by regressive dreams for eternal childhood. The old Soviet Union and today’s Communist China share the collectivist ideology that prioritizes the state above the individual, so what is good for the state is good for the individual. America has increasingly adopted communism’s collectivist “ethic” and its self-destructive Marxist messaging, most evident in politicized education and medicine.

The battle over who is the rightful caretaker of America’s children is a battle over ideologies. The Biden-Obama-Harris regime has eliminated meritocracy and stopped incentivizing competence, competition, achievement, success, independence, upward mobility, and the thrill of victory to obtain the American Dream. Instead, the regime incentivizes eternal childhood, incompetence, and lifelong dependence upon the government. The objective is to destabilize and destroy America’s infrastructure of family, seen as a competing ideology, and collapse the country internally. Remember, in order to “build back better,” one must first destroy what exists.

Substituting compliance for competence is collapsing America from within. So, in the end, Johnny’s feelings don’t matter at all. Little Johnny is the target of the duplicity, being groomed to become a permanently dependent, unthinking, unproductive drone for the globalist elite—a worker bee. In a world obsessed with feelings, the only people whose feelings actually matter are the globalist elite.

Constitution Comes Under Fire, Identified As Possible ‘Threat’ To American Politics

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The New York Times non-fiction book critic Jennifer Szalai claimed the Constitution was “frozen in amber” while reviewing a book by University of California law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky.

Chemerinsky’s book, “No Democracy Lasts Forever,” released Aug. 20, argues that the United States Constitution has become a “threat to American democracy” that is “beyond redemption.” Szalai claimed that “Constitution worship” was possibly damaging the American political system in her review, citing arguments made by Chemerinsky and other liberal legal scholars, who say the document created a situation where a minority held tyrannical power to thwart.

WATCH: Socialists want to eliminate the U.S. Constition and replace it with a ‘national democracy’

“According to this line of argument, the damages of Constitution worship extend to the structure of the political system itself. National politics gets increasingly funneled through the judiciary, with control of the courts — especially the Supreme Court — becoming a way to consolidate power regardless of what the majority of people want,” Szalai wrote. “This disempowerment of majorities, combined with political gridlock and institutional paralysis outside the judiciary, fuels popular disaffection. The document that’s supposed to be a bulwark against authoritarianism can end up fostering the widespread cynicism that helps authoritarianism grow.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued rulings on abortion, gun rights, presidential immunity and former President Donald Trump’s eligibility that have angered liberals, who have suggested either imposing term limits on the justices or expanding the court in response.

Szalai noted that some of the reforms Chemerinsky sought could be achieved by passing a constitutional amendment, but then seemed to imply that such a change would be unlikely after dismissing the 1992 ratification of the 27th Amendment, claiming the ratification of the 26th Amendment in 1971, which lowered the voting age to 18, was the last “major” change to the document she asserted was “frozen in amber.”

Chemerinsky argued in an Aug. 23 op-ed in the Los Angeles Times Americans should look into a new governing document, criticizing the equal representation of states in the “egregiously undemocratic” United States Senate and objecting to the filibuster.

Democrats have sought to abolish the filibuster during the Biden administration, but were thwarted by then-Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

Chemerinsky also argued against the Electoral College in his Los Angeles Times op-ed, citing the 2000 and 2016 elections, when Republicans George W. Bush and Donald Trump won the presidency despite losing the popular vote.

WATCH: Kamala Will Shut Down Twitter If Elected

“The principle of free speech is not concerned with the content of a man speech and does not protect only the expression of good ideas, but all ideas. If it were otherwise who would determine which ideas are good and which are forbidden? The government?” — Ayn Rand

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ― George Orwell

“Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice.” ― Henry Louis Gates Jr.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

The concept of political rights is vanishing.

Kamala is a silly, incompetent placeholder for a totalitarian party systematically taking down the only republic in human history based on individual rights and freedoms.

When you lose the distinction between action and speech, you lose, eventually, the freedom of both.

Freedom of speech is worth fighting for, worth dying for. Our once-great nation was founded on it, and it’s the hill we must die on.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

The left cannot permit the free exchange of ideas because their failed ideas cannot stand up to scrutiny and challenge.

Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.

If speech that offends a group is outlawed, that group has absolute power, and a free society is destroyed. A group that cannot be criticized cannot be opposed. It can work its will no matter what it is, and no one will be able to say anything to stop it.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.

A free society is by its nature one in which people put up with others being uncivil and offensive. The alternative is a quiet authoritarian society in which only one opinion is allowed and the others are silenced, and ultimately sent to the camps.

Carbon Copy of Maduro, Castro, Lula… Meet Comrade VP Kamala

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

There is nothing new under the sun. Everything is just copied, reworked, duplicated, and redesigned to meet the needs of the moment. Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich”, tells his readers that if they want to be successful, they should find a leader and copy their policies. I wonder if the DNC took Hill’s advice?  It seems as though Kamala took a few lessons from Joe, and learned to plagiarize. Kamala doesn’t have enough creativity to come up with ideas on her own. Maybe, they both have the same puppet master?

How many times have they called Trump “Hitler, a Nazi, a Fascist”? While we are looking for their new plans, programs, and policies, they are busy copying Trump.   What will they do to fix the America that they broke? Stealing the plans of Trump, maybe they should just forward her website to Trump’s policy site. It seems to me that is all they have.

During the DNC convention, we were constantly reminded of the Joy we were feeling, as our country falls apart. How much JOY there was, “Strength through Joy” is their theme.

The government will bring you joy. Really! What better JOY than to watch as the prices of everything we need escalates daily? The Joy of choosing Food, Gas, Medicine, or Rent.  The Joy of paying thousands a month to live in a shoebox.  The Joy of watching our country be invaded by 3rd world illegals, and listening to them complain that the 4-star hotel should be a 5-star hotel that Americans are paying for them to stay in. The Joy of watching America’s children give up their seat in school to a child that is taught to hate America. In the meantime, we listen to Snopes-biased garbage tell us what is True and what is False, and basically, we are wrong. It is False to believe that the DNC copied this phrase from the Nazi play book.

Please look it up. “Strength Through Joy”

Well guess where that phrase Strength Through Joy come from?

“We see what can be, unburdened by what has been.”

I was determined to find out where this phrase came from. This phrase is a modified version or interpretation of the verbiage from Communist leader Mao Tse-tung (Zedong), a motto of his regime to justify killing or starving millions in an attempt to bring about a socialist utopia in China.

Have you noticed that every Kamala solution for the mess she creates, ends in the destruction of the very program she proposes to fix?  This is because it is the goal of the Communists to destroy the West.. They hate free thought. You can’t show the group you are trying to conquer that, if they learn the skill of individual free thought, they won’t need the government. Their want us to believe that we are too stupid to exist without the government. So in the name of fixing things, they instead, destroy.

Kamala’s tax proposal to tax unearned income will cause the loss of private property.  In order for us to pay for the invaders, she intends to tax the equity of our property, regardless of whether or not we sold it.  Example; You bought a house for $200,000. The next year it is valued at $300,000. You made $100,000 if you sell it. Whoa, not in Kamala’s eyes!

You owe taxes on $100,000 whether or not you sold the house! 25% please,  or $25,000, where are you getting $25,000.m? What happens if the house drops in value the next year? Will the government give you back that money? HA. Not in this lifetime!! Many people use the equity in their homes to start a business. How can you do that if you start out owning the government money?

The Education Unions have destroyed the schools. Hatred of family and country is taught daily. This is evident by the amount of uneducated gangs we see in our cities.

Regarding the wonderful border bill everyone is bitching about, supported by the RINOS, Globalists, and Commie Dems in Congress:  Did you ever read it? It guarantees 5K illegals a day, that we, the taxpayer in debt for $35Trillion, have to pay for.

It gives no money to complete the Wall and turned CBP into application takers, with no power to turn anyone away, since there could be no vetting. It guarantees more drugs and cartel members flood America. But not to worry, it’s DTJ’s fault for not passing it. Last I looked,  DJT is not President.

Why are there massive amounts of murders, rapes, robberies, car jacs and cartel members in America? (Rapes have increased 60% in the U.S.). Oh, I forgot, the MSM says we are crazy, again. Many people don’t believe the crime exists, because MSM doesn’t report it. They want us to believe that crime is down.

Sorry, the invaders are here doing their job to harm, scare, rob, rape, and kill the Americans. Joe and Kamala invited them and does not prosecute them, turning a blind eye to the crimes they commit. In America, immigrants have a permanent Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card, no matter what they do.

Aurora is not the only city in America with violence!

WATCH:

This never reported demise of America is due to the Globalist policies of outsourcing and illegal immigration. Both parties are at fault. The Defund the Police policy of the Harris administration exacerbated lawlessness.  Will she fix the problem she created? No she can’t because all of her policies rely on the people being dependent on the government programs. The programs once in place will deplete the resources of the middle class while feeding the upper class. That is called communism.

As more people investigate and realize what these fake policies will cost them, their life/freedom, liberty and prosperity, they are beginning to turn to MAGA. Trump is just a place holder putting in place policies that will enable MAGA to grow and prosper on their own.

This week we have 2 wonderful people who escaped communism. They will tell you their life experience. Hopefully we will be smart enough not to experience the same.

Make sure you vote. Is America worth saving? Do everything you can to energize you and your family and friends to vote.  Your life and freedoms depend upon it. Over the weekend listen to the show.

On October 7th, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. 100 jurists showed up in Central Military Command in Tel Aviv. Here’s why…

/in , , , , , , , , /by

100 left jurists actions on 10-7 in order to remove Netanyahu from office — D. Ben Yehuda wrote:

What exactly did Avi Weiss (retired police superintendent) publish?

Avi Weiss revealed that on Oct 7 2023 at 08:00 Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived at the “Bor” (center military command bunker) in Tel Aviv.

A few minutes later, a battalion of over 100 jurists showed up there under the guidance of government legal advisor Gali Beharev Miara, her deputy Gil Limon, and the military head of attorney Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi, and these judges took over all the control positions from which the air force pilots were guided and did not allow the proper functioning of these control positions. Before the bombing of any building.

They rejected the demand of the Southern Command to activate the “Hannibal” procedure to stop the movement of Hamas vehicles from Gaza to the surrounding settlements, when all this time Jews are being kidnapped to Gaza.

And if all this is not enough, when Netanyahu left At 11:30 a.m., this band of vampires, led by the government adviser, forbade him to declare war. They demanded that the cabinet convene and make the decision. Only then would it be possible to declare war

The reason that the declaration of war was only issued on Saturday night (8 hours after Hamas attack), and thus precious time is wasted when Jews are slaughtered in their homes, burned, tortured, and kidnapped to Gaza.

Netanyahu also asked to immediately stop the “knock on the roof” procedure, but again the jurists stood up to him with the cry: “You must not harm those who are not involved.” And this legal trill continues until the morning of 08/10/2023 (24 hours after the attack).

And if you add to this the insistence of the failed Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi that this is an operation at all and not a war, you may begin to understand why we did not have an army on 10/7/2024.

It is clear to you that the leftist media did not publish a single word about this exposure. Then the dimensions became known as The massacre. They started to understand what awaited them in the 10/7 massacre the area of operation of the IDF soldiers and handcuffed them.

And this is where the great campaign of cover-up and obfuscation began. The 3 most powerful juntas in Israel participated in this campaign: The legal, the military, and the media.

The main goal was to place the entire burden of blame on the political echelon and to ensure that any investigation that was carried out would be under full supervision In the first stage, they demanded that the senior officer who was directly responsible for the massacre not resign until they found suitable replacements. will replace him. In order not to upset the angry public, all the culprits were required to “take responsibility” but under no circumstances to resign. Which didn’t stop the juntas from demanding that Netanyahu “take responsibility” so that they could demand his resignation.

In the second stage, they brought leftists Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot, and their friends into the government, with the aim of torpedoing any move that could be attributed to Netanyahu and any investigation that is not a state investigative committee.

Then the state auditor suddenly appeared and announced that he was going to investigate the events.

And here you should pay attention to what happened: according to the law, the state auditor can investigate anything he wants. The legal junta was alarmed. Very frightened. what did they do? They took two steps:

  • The High Court of Justice, contrary to the express law, issued an order prohibiting the auditor from investigating the matter of the war. Are you surprised? This is not the first time and it will certainly not be the last time that the High Court of Justice acts contrary to an express and written law.
  • The second step is to deceive the public. They understand that the public demands an investigation. And they understand that the public will not give up on an investigation either. But luckily for them, the public is not familiar with the legal intricacies. If a state investigation committee is formed tomorrow, it will also leave the control of what is happening in the junta’s hands? A state judge stands.

And the president of the Supreme Court is the person who determines who will head the committee and who will be the members of the committee. And so we get a committee that looks like this:

Former Chief Justice at the head of the committee (leftist Esther Hayut for example). – Another former judge, preferably with a military background (leftist Dahlia Dorner for example). – General (Res.) as an authoritative security figure (leftist Ami Ayalon for example). – An academic as a public figure (leftist Prof. Mordechai Kermanitzer, for example). – Someone religious, preferably Mizrahi (Adina Bar-Shalom, daughter of Rabbi Ovadia, for example).

Do you doubt that the media will be delighted with the composition of the committee: “What a quality committee that represents all levels of the public” . And the committee will investigate all the events from the moment the war was declared. The committee’s deliberations will take place behind closed doors. “For understandable reasons, of course.” But they will leak everything they want from the committee’s deliberations.

And of course, I can write the conclusions of such an investigative committee today. But, for all this to happen, the position of Supreme Court President must be in the hands of the legal junta. It is desirable that it be someone with a proven record of whistleblowing about the law and the public. Leftist Yitzhak Amit for example. But there is a problem. One, Yariv Levin (Minister of justice), does not want to see Yitzhak Amit sitting in the chair of the president of the Supreme Court. And completely coincidentally, this man is the Minister of Justice

So what do we do? The High Court convenes and issues an order against the Minister of Justice (Yariv) in order to force him to convene the committee.

There is a serious conflict of interest of the High Court judges here, isn’t that right? Not really a problem. Aharon Barak (former head of supreme court and still control the court ideology) once said about this: “We are above these matters…” .

And this is the situation as of today. I tried to tie up all the ends for you so that you can see the full picture. Now it may be clear to you: why the Chief of Staff and the head of the Shin Bet (Israeli FBI) did not resign. Why does the legal junta insist on a state commission of inquiry? And why is it important for the junta to choose Yitzchak Amit for the position of president of the Supreme Court. So what should be done? If I write my opinion, they will close my account.

War of the Iron Swords or War of the Lawyers

D. Ben Yehuda

As time passes from October 2023 very disturbing information begins to emerge, information that makes the picture of what happened clearer.

And as the picture becomes clearer, what is reflected from it indicates a very deep involvement of the legal institution in the events of October 2023.
And this is why the state’s legal system Israel is doing its best to conceal this information.

And therefore, I am here today to tie up the ends for you in events that you may seem unrelated.

This week, information that is supposed to shake the country was revealed. Israel A very strong earthquake.

Whoever leaked this information is Avi Weiss.

To many of the right-wingers, Avi Weiss is a well-known figure, mainly from the Netanyahu trial.

But for those who do not know him, I will tell that Avi Weiss is an independent journalist specializing in the field of media and he is the editor of the Telecom News website.

Avi Weiss served as a soldier in the Yom Kippur War, he was captured by the Egyptian and suffered tortures that deteriorated his health.

Avi Weiss served in the Israel Police for 26 years and reached the rank of deputy chief.

Lavi Weiss Bachelor and Second Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Technion, and NSE (Computer Network Support Engineer) from the College of Management, with honors.

And most importantly, Avi Weiss has a reputation of a great scientist and a very reliable person.

When Abi Weiss posts information, you can be sure that the information has been thoroughly inspected and verified.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because Avi Weiss published this week information about the conduct of the legal institution on 07/10.

What did Avi Weiss just publish?

Avi Weiss revealed that on 07/10/2023 at 08:00 PM Netanyahu arrived to a “hole” in Kirya in Tel Aviv.

A few minutes later a battalion of over 100 lawyers was established there under the guidance of the legal counsel Gali Behrabi Miara, her deputy Gil Limon and the lawyer Yifat Tomer Jerusalem.

And these jurists took over all the control positions from which they guide Air Force pilots and did not allow the proper functioning of these control positions.

They demanded that every guard should not harm the “non-involved”.

They demanded that the “tap on the roof” procedure be activated before the bombing of every structure.

And they rejected the demand of the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Command to activate the “Hannibal” procedure in order to stop the movement of the Gazans’ vehicles from Gaza to the surrounding settlements, back and forth, when all this time Jews were being kidnapped to Gaza.

And if all this is not enough, when Netanyahu went out at 11:30 and declared a state of war, this band of vampires led by the lawmaker and the police stood up to him and forbade him to declare war.

They demanded that the cabinet first convenes and make the decision.

And then the government will convene and approve the decision.

And only then will it be possible to declare war.

And that’s why the declaration of war came out only on Saturday night.

And this is how a very precious time is wasted when meanwhile Jews are slaughtered in their homes, burned, hostage and kidnapped to Gaza.

Netanyahu also asked to stop immediately the “tap on the roof” procedure, but again the legal witness stood up to him shouting: “You must not hurt those who are not involved.”

And this legal rant continued till morning 08/10/2023.

And if you add to this the stubbornness of the failed Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi that this is actually an operation and not a war, you may be beginning to understand why we had no army on 07/10/2019.

It is clear to you that the left-wing media has not published a word about this exposure.

And then they knew the dimensions of the carnage.

And in the legal institution they were scared.

They began to understand what was awaiting them if some of them knew about the 07/10 massacre.

They also quickly realized that part of this disaster does not begin on 07/10 but much much earlier. When the High Court’s delusional verdicts reduced the scope of operation of IDF soldiers and closed their hands.

And this is where the great cover-up and blur campaign began.

In this journey was attended by the 3 strongest juntaes in Israel: the legal, the military and the media.

The main goal was to put the entire accused on the political level and make sure that every investigation carried out is under their full supervision.

In the first stage, they demanded from the senior officer who was the direct culprit of the massacre – not to resign. At least not until they find suitable replacements (in terms of the braces).

The increase to make one of the main culprits of the massacre, the head of the GSS, who announced that he would not vacate his chair until he knew who will replace him.

In order not to upset the angry public, all the culprits were required to “take responsibility” but in no way resign. What did not bother the Junta demanding Netanyahu to “take responsibility” so that they could demand his resignation.

In the second stage, they brought Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot and their friends into the government, in order to tamper any move that is possible to correct Netanyahu’s merits and any investigation that is not a state investigative committee.

And then suddenly a state inspector appeared and announced that he was going to investigate the events.

And here you should pay attention to what happened:

  • According to the law, the comptroller of the state can investigate whatever he wants.
  • The judiciary is terrified. Got scared as hell.

They took two steps:

  1. The Supreme Court, contrary to the explicit law, issued an order prohibiting the visitor to investigate the matter of war.
  2. They launched an extensive public relations journey for the establishment of a “state inquiry committee”.

Regarding the illegal decree issued by the Supreme Court, we shouldn’t be surprised.

This is not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last time that the Supreme Court acts against a written and explicit law.

The second step is to deceive the public.

They understand that the public demands an investigation.

And they understand that the public will not give up an investigation either.

But fortunately, the public is not in the legal accuracy.

If tomorrow a state inquiry committee is established, it will want the majority of the public but will also leave control over what happens in the committee to the judicial junta.

What are things supposed to be?

According to the law, that this time the Supreme Court intends to grammar it up to the tip of Yod, at the head of a state inquiry committee stands a judge.

And the President of the Supreme Court is the man to decide who will head the committee and who will be the members of the committee.

And so we’ll get a committee that looks like this:

  • Former supreme judge at the head of the committee (Esther Hayot for example).
  • Another former judge, preferably with a military past (Dalia Dorner for example).
  • Champion (mil. ) As a authoritative security figure (Ami Ayalon, for example).
  • Academician as a public figure (Prof. Mordechai Kremnitzer, for example).
  • Someone religious preferably Eastern (Adina Bar-Shalom, the daughter of Rabbi Ovadia, for example).

You have a doubt that the media will rejoice at the committee composition: “What a quality committee that represents all the masses in public”.

And the committee will investigate all the events since the declaration of war.

And the committee discussions will take place, in closed doors. “Parties are built, of course.”

But they will leak from the committee’s debates whatever is convenient for them.

And of course I can write the conclusions of such an inquiry committee already today.

But, for all this to happen, the role of the President of the Supreme Court must be in the hands of the judicial junta.

And preferably it to be someone with a proven record of tapping at the law and the public.

Isaac Amit for example.

But there’s a problem.

One, Yariv Levin, does not want to see Yitzhak Amit sitting on the chair of the President of the Supreme Court.

And totally coincidentally, this man is the Minister of Justice and he’s the one who is, according to the law, at the head of the committee to appoint judges. And he is also the one who puts her pants on and sets the agenda.

And this rival Levin, does not intend to convene the committee as long as it’s clear to him that Yitzhak Amit is the one who will be elected.

The Supreme Court convenes and issues an order against the Minister of Justice in order to force the committee to convene.

There is a serious conflict of affairs of high court judges here, isn’t it?

Not a problem at all.

About this Aharon Barak once said: “We are above these issues…”

I tried to tie all the edges for you, so that you could see the full picture.

And now maybe it’s clear to you:

  • Why don’t the Chief of Staff and the head of the GSS resign.
  • Why the judicial junta insists on a state inquiry committee.
  • And why is it important for Junta to choose Yitzhak Amit for the position of President of the Supreme Court.

So what needs to be done?

If I write my opinion, they’ll close my account again…
