What does USAID and its overbearing director Samantha Power have to hide? The Biden administration has been pumping huge amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza. This aid is being sent behind the scenes; the amounts are not made public. Congress did not give its approval for such amounts of aid, so much of which — as everyone now knows — ends up with Hamas, that routinely steals aid meant for all the people in Gaza. Now the USAID Agency is being investigated for its role in delivering such aid, but instead of handing over records requested by a government watchdog...

The Harris-Walz campaign has appointed Ilan Goldenberg as Director of Jewish Outreach and Policy Advisor. Goldenberg will act as the campaign’s primary connection to the American Jewish community. A Harris campaign aide told JTA the appointment had been made against the background of pressure from progressive groups regarding her stance on the Gaza war and US military assistance to Israel, and Republicans using Democratic positions on Israel as a political tool.

His background includes...

The Biden administration unleashed a torrent of criticism against Israel’s polarizing finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, on Friday after he referred to cease-fire negotiations with Hamas as a “dangerous trap.” White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said a lengthy statement posted by Smotrich to the social platform X made “ridiculous charges” regarding his opposition to a cease-fire deal to end the fighting in Gaza. “Some critics, like Mr. Smotrich, for example, have claimed that the hostage deal is a surrender to Hamas or that hostages should not be exchanged for prisoners. Mr. Smotrich essentially suggests that the war ought...

Vice President Kamala Harris condemned demonstrators who voiced support for Hamas and burned an American flag near the U.S. Capitol to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress on Wednesday, saying in a statement that "hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation." Harris, now the likely Democratic nominee for president after President Biden dropped his reelection bid, denounced the protesters who engaged in "despicable acts" and "dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric." "I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas...

Just what a weary world needs. I have an idea. What if they just stopped blowing stuff up? The world is on fire; war is raging in Ukraine and Gaza, and a global war could break out at any moment. The Southern border is a fictional line on a map. Americans are being steadily robbed of their savings and prevented from being able to get ahead by the cruelest tax of all, inflation. The Biden regime, in a series of unprecedented and deeply un-American moves, has weaponized the Justice Department in order to destroy the leader of the political opposition....
