The bipartisan hounding that got Jill Biden’s inept choice for Secret Service director kicked to the curb (new regime and all) didn’t solve anything. It’s rarely just one man or woman and even more rarely the one at the top. The top guy, whether it was Cheatle, Mayorkas, Biden or Garland, is usually just the buffoon and fall guy out front while the radical pros with actual ideas implement their agenda. So no, nothing is going to change. The Secret Service has recommended that the Trump campaign no longer schedule outdoor rallies in the wake of the assassination attempt against...

The administration goes after Jewish shepherds, aids Islamic terrorists. The Facebook page for Manne Farm features a goat wearing sunglasses. The goat (and possibly the sunglasses) along with the rest of the farm have now been sanctioned. Anyone feeding the goat (or any of the sheep) faces legal and criminal consequences from D.C.The State Department has sanctioned the Israeli farm under the “transnational criminal organizations designation” while describing its activities as the “raising of sheep and goats”.This probably makes Manne Farm the first transnational criminal organization that raises sheep and goats. In addition to raising them (and putting sunglasses on...

"The leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges." Two days ago, I wrote that ‘The Dem Civil War is Over Who Will Replace Biden”. The battle would be between the faction lining up behind Kamala and the one pushing some sort of limited primary. Biden’s tweet endorsed Kamala. Hillary came forward to back her too. DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who actually has the power here, however issued a statement saying that, “the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a...

What could go wrong? Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas named Janet Napolitano to a panel investigating the Secret Service failures that allowed Trump to be shot. Napolitano, Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary, was at the nexus of the investigation over Fast and Furious, an Obama administration program that helped smuggle guns to cartels in order to impose gun control on Americans that backfired and led to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. After claiming that she knew nothing about, she now gets to sit on a panel investigating another federal government arm that claims it knew nothing about its...

"Muslim Travel Ban" replaced with "Israeli Travel Ban." Eight years ago, Elor Azaia, an Israeli Army medic, arrived at the scene of an Islamic terrorist attack in the biblical Jewish city of Hebron. Two Islamic terrorists had been shot after attacking Israeli soldiers. One of the terrorists, wearing a heavy coat in springtime weather, was still alive, and Elor suspected that he had a suicide bomb vest hidden underneath the coat.The soldiers on the scene were uncertain what to do and Elor took the shot to save their lives.The Islamic terrorist attack had been timed for the Jewish holiday of...

The question of whether Joe Biden could hold out against political pressure from the media, donors, Obama and influential figures across the party has been answered. He couldn’t. The donor coup succeeded. Democracy is dead, long live democracy. His campaign people had kept insisting that he was running until the last minute when his account tweeted a statement that he was abandoning his campaign. The whole seemed reminiscent of the palace coup against Japan’s Emperor Hirohito after the bomb dropped. Clearly there were multiple factions at work, but the power players, led by the party’s donors, won out and Biden,...

The Biden campaign might be the single greatest act of financial fraud in history. “Last month I co-hosted the single largest fund-raiser supporting any Democratic candidate ever, for President Biden’s re-election,” former ER actor George Clooney revealed in a New York Times op-ed calling for him to drop out. “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.” At the fundraiser, George...

“Democrats must recover quickly and say: Trump has been uniquely responsible for stoking the violence that apparently grazed his ear,” The Nation’s Joan Walsh wrote. Beyond the obvious ju-jitsu of a leftist blaming one of her targets for getting shot, there’s that ‘apparently’ in there. Walsh had also tweeted, “Has there been any kind of news conference by Trump’s doctors? I just find this weirder every moment.” “Is Trump’s bandage covering evidence that he wasn’t shot? Still waiting for confirmation from credible sources beyond Trump on his Truth Social that he was actually hit by a bullet rather than hit...

“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation,” Joe Biden tweeted. “He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.” Yesterday he declared, “most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation.” This kind of rhetoric depicting Trump as the ultimate threat had become normalized. Is it any wonder that it was also acted on? There’s a pattern here. A Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire at a Congressional baseball game and brought along a list of House...

A new terrorist movement is emerging in America. Just as every cell in the human body has a complete copy of our genetic code, so too every terrorist rally is a microcosm of the entire movement threatening America, Israel and the world. The mob that converged on Congregation Adas Torah in a Jewish neighborhood in West LA was smaller than the thousands that had terrorized communities in New York and London, but all the elements that make up the pro-terror side were represented outside the synagogue. The PLO terror flags waved by the rioters represented more than just the cause...

USAID boss Samantha Power has some news for Americans. Another $100 million for terrorists. Today, Administrator Samantha Power announced that the United States, through USAID, will provide an additional $100 million in critical humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in dire need throughout Gaza and Judea and Samaria. Critical and dire need. So critical and so dire that we’ve been lied to and told that all the Islamic terrorists and their supporters have been starving to death for 8 months. And yet somehow it never actually seems to happen, Meanwhile, every Hamas terrorist leader is morbidly obese. Biden announced $100 million in...

This is gonna be a little awkward.After chickening out during the actual primary, the media and a lot of allied elites panicked after that debate where Joe Biden began talking about sisters raping each other, apropos of nothing, and began campaigning to remove him. Michael Moore belatedly adopted the Elder Abuse talking point. Media talking heads began to berate Jill Biden like they were on FOX News. Spontaneous editorials at publications controlled by prominent donors urged Joe Biden to step down for the greater good of the nation because he was just too old.And Joe Biden said, “No.”And it turned...

The story of both the UK and French elections is down to liberal establishments allying with and empowering the worst Islamists and Communists to come to power. (For that matter it’s the story of the Biden administration.) The difference between the UK and France though is that Labour appeared (to casual inspection) to have cleaned up its act enough that it was no longer a bunch of Marxists and Jihadists as it had been under Corbyn. But it didn’t take long to find out that it was the same bunch under the hood. In France, they didn’t even bother pretending....

The man knows what he’s talking about. And it’s not the first video highlighting Rep. Ilhan Omar’s mission. In January, a video went viral featuring Rep. Omar allegedly declaring that “We as Somalians,” the translation describes, are an “organized society”, “people of one blood”, “brothers and sisters”, “people who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second.” “The US government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do,” the translation states. “They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders.” “We Somalians must have that confidence in ourselves that we call for...

In recent weeks, the media had taken to claiming that suggestions that Biden was old, confused and out of it were ‘cheapfakes’ and election misinformation. In the first 10 minutes of the debate, Biden destroyed the ‘cheapfake’ lie by being undeniably old, confused and out of it. What went down was more than Biden’s reputation but the entire media narrative. After nearly a decade of the media telling the public that its common sense observations were misinformation and disinformation to be remedied with media fact checks, everyone could see that it was the media that had been lying. And the...

“Billions of us will come and kill you.” Thirty minutes after Hamas supporters first set up their operation outside a Los Angeles synagogue, they maced their first Jew. And the Los Angeles police did nothing.Not until an hour into the terrorist rally outside a synagogue, did the LAPD finally step in, pushing back masked Jihad supporters in keffiyeh terror scarves from the entrance of Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) which they had occupied.And then the mob, chanting calls for “intifada” and the destruction of Israel, moved outward to target two smaller synagogues attended by Persian Jewish refugees from...

Who really owns the paper? I’ve seen this before, but never at such a high-profile level. Journalists, including Bari Weiss, were squeezed out at the New York Times and targeted by campaigns coordinated by their colleagues with outside radical leftist outlets like Huffington Post, Vox, and The New Republic, but this time it went bigger than ever before. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos decided that his pet paper, The Washington Post, needed a change of management and brought in vets from the UK’s Telegraph. The Post’s wokes and some around the media decided that wouldn’t fly and began running hit pieces...

Only slavery reparations can save Chicago. Chicago celebrated ‘Juneteenth’ with 40 shootings. The Windy City kept up a Father’s Day weekend in which 71 people were shot by fatherless young men in a city where 8 out of 10 black children are born to single mothers. And in which it’s all the fault of “systemic racism”. Over in Daley Plaza, Mayor Brandon Johnson (pictured above) raised the ‘Juneteenth flag’ created by an activist who wanted the black parts of Boston to secede and form a new city named ‘Mandela’. But who needs Mandela, when you’ve got Chicago? “God bless the...

One of the ways to tell apart moderates and extremists is checking the brakes. The other is the constant infighting. And the two are connected. Extremists have no brakes so their movement is always going to new extremes and tomorrow’s radicals are cannibalizing yesterday’s radicals. In my book,‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, I quoted a very telling line about the French Revolution. “As the revolution becomes radical, the Right disappears, and the Left of one assembly becomes the Right of the succeeding assembly,” Mignet explained, describing how each new political incarnation became more radical than the...

Gag orders, constitutionally dubious, are meant to protect the integrity of a judicial proceeding.However, even with the trial over, the gag orders imposed on former President Trump are not going away.DA Bragg’s office (which had just freed the antisemitic Columbia Hamas rioters) demanded a continuation of the gag order which prohibits him from commenting on the individuals involved in the trial.Since Trump is also running for president and Biden is spending $50 million to attack him over the various Democrat trials imposed on him, this effectively bans a presidential candidate from debating a campaign issue.The New York Court of Appeals...
