The arabists keep claiming that Arab "Palestine" massacres on Jews are a "response" to something - supposedly. Nevermind that racist Arab Palestine began massacring Jews [especially since] April 1920 [Nebi Musa riots], there were cries of "we will drink the blood of the Jews," and "Muhamme's religion was born with the sword." Actually, the genocidal call/aim of "adbakh al yahud," was invented in the 1920s by Haj Amin al Husseini, their leader, over a decade before he rushed to beg Nazis for alliance. Why target religious ultra Orthodox Talmudic Jews, conscientious objectors in their neighborhoods who even refuse to serve...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case. Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list. “None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said.

"We've heard the outrage and we're taking steps to do...

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio urged voters to elect Zohran Mamdani to be the City's next mayor, saying "he is the best person to resume the work that I did to try to make NYC the great place it can be.
