Israel isn’t committing genocide - it’s resisting genocide. On Oct 7, 2023, thousands of Muslim Jihadis swept from Gaza into Israel, killing, torturing, raping and kidnapping anyone in their path. The victims included not only Israelis or Jews, but Americans and Europeans, Christians and Buddhists, as well as those Bedouins whom the Hamas, PLO and Islamic Jihad attackers did not consider Muslims. Their rationale was not a “Palestinian” cause or any of the later war propaganda myths about an “open air prison”, but an Islamic religious imperative to drive out infidels. That’s why they named their genocidal campaign, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’...

In New York State, Jews have the highest favorable opinion of President Trump. Jews support Trump more than any other religious group, more than Catholics and Protestants, upstate voters, and more than white voters in general. Jews are the only identity group in the state with whom Trump isn’t underwater even at the same time as Sen. Schumer polls worse among Jews than among Catholics or Protestants.

The Zohran Mamdani campaign has some of the earmarks of a foreign influence operation. Freedom Center Investigates covered Neville Roy Singham before he became a household name as the new even more radical Soros and his growing role in backing pro-Hamas riots in New York. "The People's Forum is funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Maoist millionaire living in Communist China, whose Shanghai office faces 'a red banner that reads, in Chinese, 'Always Follow the Party.' Resting on a shelf is a plate depicting Xi.' "Singham has rapidly become the Soros of the Communist, Leninist and Maoist forces in America...

The Left is America’s oldest enemy.It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies. Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning. Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who―even two centuries ago―were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination. From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of...

Colbert killed comedy. Then comedy killed his show.The Late Show was born out of the desperation of CBS executives to poach David Letterman. Johnny Carson had decided to bring his unchallenged reign over late night to an end. The future of the Tonight Show was up between Jay Leno, a hard-working comic, and Letterman, the darling of media types in New York, who had the hip alternative Late Night show. NBC settled on Leno, who underwent the first of a series of bastings by the chattering classes for upstaging one of their favorite cringe comics, while CBS created the Late...

Who really had the power to protect Epstein across three states?The first time Jeffrey Epstein was locked up, it was in a private wing of the Palm Beach Stockade with unlocked doors and a ‘work release program’ (even though sex offenders were barred from participating in work release programs) that allowed him to keep an office outside the prison, then ‘work’ from his beachfront home, hire Sheriff’s Deputies as his private security, have them refer to him as a “client” and all the records of his visitors, who reportedly included minors used for sex, were then destroyed as part of...

Things are not happy in Monterey County. The California county, which Kamala won by 63%, is considered a ‘sanctuary’ for illegal aliens by the Department of Homeland Security. But that sanctuary status was recently violated and local officials are outraged. So is the Solidarity Network: a pro-illegal alien group that ‘monitors’ immigration enforcement arrests. Monterey County Board of Supervisors Chair Chris Lopez responded by announcing that a maternal health walk was cancelled. “Monterey County deeply values the contributions of our immigrant workers and families that strengthen our local communities and economy,” Monterey County Supervisor Luis Alejo posted. The Monterey Solidarity...

The Zohran Mamdani campaign has some of the earmarks of a foreign influence operation. ...‘Jews for Zohran’ (and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice) turns out to be as Jewish as a Sri Lankan Marxist billionaire at war with America (and Israel).

Over $1 Billion in COVID testing fraud alone. Much as with the previous entry, the $650 million substance abuse treatment scam allegedly run out of Pakistan, we have foreign nationals ripping off our health care system on a truly epic scale. Here’s a $703 million Pakistani scheme. Ruknuddin “Rick” Charolia, 43, Aamir Ali Arif, 32, Shearyar Arif, 28, and Fizza Farid, 29, all of Pakistan, were charged by indictment for their roles in a $703 million health care fraud scheme. As alleged in the indictment, they caused the submission of $703,834,742 in false and fraudulent claims to Medicare and Medicare...

These numbers are not natural.. The New York Times has a shallow cheerleading article about where Zohram Mamdani’s votes came from. As I already pointed out, Mamdani benefited from low turnout below 30% and won the vote of some 5% of New Yorkers. But the Times has some interesting figures in this chart. Mr. Mamdani’s campaign had focused on registering voters, and he also appears to have drawn thousands of voters to the primary who did not vote four years ago. ... Those are pretty incredible numbers. 40,000 voters would make up nearly 10% of Mamdani’s totals. Who are these...

And that has crippled the Court.. Last year, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, despite being in her early 50s and having an undistinguished career before her affirmative action appointment, published a memoir. You might be forgiven for having missed it when “Lovely One” came out. As the media politely notes, it was “briefly” on the New York Times bestseller list and is now going for half price on Amazon. That is mostly to be expected of the ghostwritten memoir of an obscure judge. Except that Jackson received a $893,750 advance for her memoir and is now reporting $2 million in profits...

They’re not against nuclear weapons; they’re for our enemies. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons won a Nobel Peace Prize for its opposition to the existence of nuclear weapons. Its slogan was ‘We must eliminate nuclear weapons before they eliminate us.’ Unless the nukes are in the hands of Islamic terrorists. After Israel launched its campaign to end Iran’s nuclear weapons program, ICAN denied that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and instead condemned Israel for striking Iran’s nukes. International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, which helped found ICAN, also condemned Israel and instead urged it to create...

Mandatory pronouns were the whole point of the transgender movement. ... After losing a presidential election and a Supreme Court case, Democrats are looking to detransition from the transgender movement, but they can’t seem to manage to do it. ‘United States v. Skrmett’, the transgender movement’s biggest legal loss, bet everything on the Supreme Court getting comfortable with medically and chemically mutilating children based on dubious claims that it was the best way to reduce suicide rates. In ‘How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost’, a New York Times Magazine article blames the loss on...

Less than 30% even bothered to vote. In my post last night, I noted the implausibility of Mamdani’s election numbers compared to his polling in which he performed poorly with anyone over 50 Black people and Latinos women the working class I said the results either reflected low turnout or tinkering. Probably both.

The New York City mayor's race is this way by design. The polls showing that Zohran Mamdani, a socialist and Muslim terror supporter who only became a citizenship in 2018, could become the mayor of New York City, where his compatriots murdered thousands of Americans, may or may not be true, but there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be. Mamdani is up against Cuomo, a repulsive and widely hated figure that opponents of the Muslim socialist are only getting behind because the alternative is even worse, and then Mayor Eric Adams, whom much of the city probably right believes is...

One of the great weaknesses of American foreign policy has been our predictability. Our opponents have been able to pinpoint what we would and would not do. While one President Trump’s greatest strengths has been his unpredictability. And on the Iran strikes, he not only kept everyone guessing until the last minute, but used sophisticated means to draw everyone off. Tucker Carlson’s pal Dan Caldwell was booted from the Pentagon over allegations of leaking. So were a number of others. When the strikes were actually launched, there were zero leaks despite claims by some in the media that they were...

Even as other banks are backing down, the bank that debanked us doubles down. Last spring, 15 state attorney generals wrote to Bank of America warning that its politically motivated debanking targeting conservatives and religious people was under the looking glass. After taking office, President Trump directly challenged Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan to stop discriminating against conservatives. “I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank. What you’re doing is wrong.” But instead of ending its political discrimination, BOA launched a...

In Los Angeles, marchers rallied against Trump in themed ‘No Kings’ marchers in places where people were forbidden to go by the Newsom regime 5 years ago. There are no kings in California, just government bureaucrats who were able to rule more ruthlessly than most kings and forbid even the most ordinary average everyday activities like going to the beach or meeting up with family members or going to school. A king would have been far less onerous than California’s actual rulers. And less corrupt and abusive. The marchers pretending they were protesting against some phantom tyranny and for some...

Israel took “Death to Israel” seriously. We should take “Death to America” seriously.Last month, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei told an enraged crowd of Islamists that President Trump’s statements weren’t even “worthy of a response.”As the crowd chanted “Death to America”, Iran’s leader called Trump a liar, and warned that, “America should leave the region, and leave it will.” Then he called for the destruction of the Jewish State while the crowd chanted, “Death to Israel.”The only question was whether America and Israel would take the regime’s threats seriously.That question was answered when Israel, after two decades of trying to get...
