Earlier this year, avowed communist James "Fergie" Chambers secured "multiple hundreds of millions of dollars" from his family, which controls the Cox Enterprises empire. Now, he's using his inheritance to bankroll a far-left activist group that's harassing Jews across the country. Chambers, whose billionaire father James Cox Chambers co-owns the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, in July revealed that he cut ties with his family, securing a significant payout from Cox Enterprises in the process. Months later, following Hamas's Oct. 7 terrorist assault on Israel, Chambers began using that money to pay the legal fees for members of Palestine Action U.S., a...

Israel’s president Isaac Herzog has criticised Angelina Jolie over her stance on the conflict engulfing Israel and Gaza. Herzog, 63, said the 48-year-old Hollywood star hadn’t ‘seen the facts on the ground’ nor had she ‘visited Gaza’. Last month, Jolie accused Israel in an Instagram post of ‘deliberately bombing children, women, families, deprived of food, medicine and humanitarian aid’. Follow our live blog for latest updates on the Israel-Hamas war Jolie also called for a ceasefire, prompting Herzog to say in a new interview that the A-lister wasn’t ‘offering the Israeli people any ability to defend themselves’. Speaking to Piers...

Last month, after expressing his horror at the Hamas atrocities, former President Barack Obama went on to warn that an Israeli ground operation in Gaza would backfire, resulting in the erosion of Israel’s security and its global support. Now, after Israel not only ignored his sage advice, it appears to be well on the way to eradicating the world’s last holdout of the criminal Muslim Brotherhood, Obama is feeling free to side with the brotherhood. You may recall that he singlehandedly pushed the rise of this Islamist underground to presidential power in Egypt with his Al Azhar University speech on...

Former President Barack Obama is coming under scrutiny for his recent remarks on Israel’s war on Hamas, giving moral equivalence to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by linking them with Israel’s “occupation” of Palestinian lands. “What Hamas did was horrific and there’s no justification for it,” Obama said, following that statement immediately by saying, “And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.” Obama made the remarks Friday at his Foundation’s “Democracy Forum.” Video excerpts of Obama’s comments were posted Pod Save America’s X page.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin and Sen. Jacky Rosen attempt to correct congresswoman's understanding of 'from the river to the sea'.. Multiple members of the Democratic Party are calling out Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., after she attempted to justify the pro-Palestinian chant, "From the river to the sea,"... In response, a group on X called StopAntisemitism told Tlaib what the phrase actually means, saying it refers to "the full erasure of the Jewish state, from Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea."

Former President Barack Obama backtracked Friday on his early support for Israel against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, telling an audience at the Obama Foundation Democracy Forum in Chicago that they had pushed him to modify his position. “I had a conversation with a group of you around this issue, and you were passionate and pushed me around some of the public statements I’d made,” Obama told a group of activists and supporters. He said that all agreed on the desired outcome — ” an end to the killing, peaceful coexistence between two sovereign and free peoples” — but that...

Martin Armstrong of Armstrong Economics published an article this week about the so-called Socrates program and how it has successfully predicted all sorts of things throughout history by looking at business cycles. Based on what Socrates is saying, 2023 is the year of World War III, which was predicated by the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” and other bellwether moves by globalist powers to signal a shift into the next cycle.As we have been reporting a whole lot as of late, every time economies start to falter – especially those built on Keynesian economics and usury-based fiat money systems – the...

When I was looking desperately for a number of years two decades ago for voices that intelligently and courageously spoke up against the militarist excesses of Bush 2, I was astonished and delighted by what I found on The American Right - Congressman Ron Paul and Patrick Joseph Buchanan. IMHO there is nothing short on film from Buchannan to match the magnificence and power of Paul's "what if" speech. But the longer culture wars speech on youtube is for me an almost sacred text which I watch once or twice a year to restore my faith in truth. My own...

A “radical” Jordanian national living in Texas was allegedly plotting an attack on Houston’s Jewish community before he was arrested on gun charges. Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, had been studying how to build bombs and posted about his support for killing Jews, federal officials claim. “He has viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet, including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices,” FBI Director Chris Wray told the Senate Homeland Security Committee, though he declined to identify Abuayyash by name. “And that defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals...

“Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) dodged a censure vote in the House over her history of anti-Israel remarks and participating in a pro-Palestinian protest last month that spilled into a Capitol office building. The lower chamber on Wednesday night voted 222-186 to block a resolution to censure Tlaib after Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced the measure last week. Every Democrat voted to table the resolution, along with Michigan GOP Reps. John Moolenaar, Tim Walberg and Bill Huizenga and 20 other Republican lawmakers. Thirteen other Democrats and 11 Republicans were absent. After Greene introduced the resolution to censure Tlaib,...

President Biden would veto a package put forward by House Republicans to provide aid to Israel while cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and leaving out funding for other national security priorities, the White House said Tuesday. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) picked apart the House GOP proposal in a lengthy statement of administration policy, arguing it “inserts partisanship into support for Israel” and fails to meet the moment by leaving out humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza and aid for Ukraine and allies in the Indo-Pacific. “This bill is bad for Israel, for the...

Since America and the world started seeing the disturbing rise of open antisemitism in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, followed by Israel's justified military response, we've heard a couple of common refrains from people saying they are not antisemites. These come mostly from the left but, disturbingly, from some on the right too. These protestations usually come in two forms: 'I'm not an antisemite, I just hate Zionism.' or 'I don't hate Jews, just a lot of the things Israel does.' They both sound pretty hollow. Fortunately, Yael Bar tur took to Twitter...

Over the weekend, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has publicly criticized the state of Israel and expressed sympathies for Palestinians in the past, issued a tweet saying that his government was “here” for Palestinian, Arab, and black Muslim communities. “As members of the Palestinian, Arab, and Black Muslim communities gathered for prayer yesterday, I wanted them to know this: We know you’re worried and hurting. We’re here for you. We will not stop advocating for civilians to be protected and for international law to be upheld,” he declared. ... Trudeau has a history of siding with Palestinian terrorists over...

A so-called transgender activist took to X to prove to those watching that not only did he pay attention to his Marxist professor and walk away stupider than he was when he entered the classroom, but that his claims of the “oppression” he deals with in the United States while pretending to be a woman is next level. How bad? According to our attention-seeking heroine, being trans in America is just below the alleged “genocide level” he sees in Gaza. The irony here is that he claims in his video that there are “queer people” in Gaza and that they...

A Washington Post columnist who once led the paper’s international opinions section lent support this week to those kidnapping, raping, and killing Israeli citizens. Karen Attiah, a prominent journalist, echoed a social media post by a fringe Somali that said, “what did y’all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.” The X post suggests that those on the Left who bandy about terms like “decolonization” but don’t support the terrorism of Hamas are hypocrites, and that that is exactly what the leftist academics are pushing for with that language. She reposted someone else elaborating on that same thought: “All my...

Just days after the Arab-Islamic "Palestinian" savagery massacres, torching up families, mass rape, abducting the elderly, kids, parading with bloodied women, abducted kids abused at the masses upon arrival in Gaza -- At PBS NewsHour, on Oct 9. 2023, Amna Nawaz had Leila Molana-Allen to be 'the' reporter. She started off with images of Gaza and not out of Israel. Not a word of Israel asking Gazans to evacuate was mentioned. Then when reporting on the rocket attack on Jerusalem today (she didn't elaborated on thev injuries it caused), she inserts the weird words "contested city of Jerusalem." First of...

Paul Nehlen, a Wisconsin businessman who challenged Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for his congressional seat last year, and is challenging again in 2018, says he is disgusted with the conduct of the Republican Congress. “With a few exceptions, we have a Congress full of spineless jellyfish, unwilling to fulfill their oath of office to protect and defend this country from enemies foreign and domestic,” he told WND. “Illegal aliens, whether from visa overstays or illegal border crossers, cannot be effectively deported without a means to keep them out of the country. The border wall proposed by candidate, now...

@justinamash Kevin McCarthy was by far the worst leader I served with in the Republican conference. Unprincipled, incompetent, duplicitous, vindictive, and entirely transactional. Instead of simply committing to and following through on maintaining an open and deliberative process in the House, he promised conservatives substantive victories he knew he’d never deliver. All he cared about was getting the gavel. As I’ve said before: The House needs to follow its rules and allow the genuine participation of every representative. This means starting early on major legislation and working through it in committees and on the floor. Any speaker who doesn’t run...

The US Chamber of Commerce, one of the most pro-immigration and anti-White organizations in the country, has just published this article (www.uschamber.com/immigration/immigration-reform-could-help-small-business-worker-shortage) complaining about American workers and begging for significantly higher levels of immigration. In the piece, which focuses on ‘small business, a gentleman who owns a company which ships high-performance hay complains: “It’s a hard job. You’re unloading 100-pound bales of hay in Arizona in the summer in a metal barn. It might be 120 degrees. It’s just tough to find people willing to do that … For the most part, Americans don’t apply for these sorts of jobs.”...
