Omar Suleiman, ICNA, Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Imam Omar Suleiman, Bernie’s favorite Islamic cleric, had cheered Islamic terrorism against Jews, defended the Islamic practice of sex slavery, and honor killings and chopping the hands of thieves, had links to Islamic clerics and organizations linked to Islamic terrorism. Suleiman has defended Sharia’s hadd punishments for adultery [stoning] and theft [amputation], advocated for both “societal Sharia” and a Caliphate, so that Sharia could “be...

There’s a big empty lane within Democrat politics, and unfortunately for the Democrats, no one seems to be smart or brave enough to merge into it. What’s that lane? It’s the “Not being completely crazy while also not being completely ancient” lane. It really is that simple. Someone could swoop into that electoral sweet spot, but so far, no one has seen fit to take the risk and fight the fight to capitalize—though they all do hate capitalism—on this tremendous opportunity. All they have to do is just act normal and not be a million years old to distinguish themselves...

... Wiener is the Democratic front-runner looking to replace Nancy Pelosi in the House. He’s also a gay, pro-trans leftist who’s described Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide and called for the U.S. to stop giving military aid to Israel. So he attended the trans march, as he does every year, to stand with those he thought of as his people. But Wiener is Jewish, and he took a bit too long in deciding that he needed to mimic faithfully the hardcore anti-Israel monomaniacs. So they’re now teaching him an important lesson: A Jew who shows any ambivalence about...

Yesterday I wrote that the burden of proof is always placed differently on the Jew: the rabbi who must clear himself from "supporting genocide[sic]" before renting a house in France, the army whose seized weapons are presumed staged, the citizens of revolutionary France told to prove a loyalty no Catholic was asked to swear. The structure is built so the burden cannot be met. Compliance and defiance, denial and proof, all resolve to the same verdict, because the only admissible evidence is the defendant's Jewishness, entered as a guilty plea before the proceedings began. A day later, Scott Wiener walked...

henmazzig June 28, 2026. Scott Wiener gave them everything they asked for. It still wasn’t enough. He’s spent decades fighting for the LGBTQ community. He passed the pro-trans legislation they’re now thanking him for in the same breath they scream at him. He’s one of the frontrunners to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress. And earlier this year, he did the one thing they demanded most, he called Israel’s war a “genocide[sic].” And then they chased him out of a march he’d attended for 22 years. Cornered him at a bar and made him perform “free Palestine” on camera....

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who has served nearly 40 years in Congress to become one of its most influential power brokers, on Monday announced who she will take on when she leaves office in January: UC Berkeley students. The Nancy Pelosi Institute for Representative Democracy, to be launched with tens of millions of dollars in gifts from Pelosi and other donors, will seek to bring leading scholars to campus, cultivate students’ ambitions for public service, and position itself as a Bay Area counterweight to major university political institutes that frequently attract former members of Congress and White House staff. Pelosi (D-San...

Expert stock picker Nancy Pelosi revealed her post-Congress retirement plan Monday. The 86-year-old Pelosi has spent 40 years in Congress, building an incredible stock portfolio while leading the Democratic Party, and will finally retire in January. Her next project will be a fake “bipartisan” academic center at the University of California, Berkeley, aptly named the Nancy Pelosi Institute, where students and future civic “leaders” will be brainwashed beginning in January 2027. “I think all of us in public service who have an opportunity to do so want to use our experience to train leaders for the future,” Pelosi told CNN....

Democrats, among them some of the most recognizable names in politics, have accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from top employees at firms the Pentagon recently designated as "Chinese military companies" operating in the U.S. The Department of War on June 8 designated Alibaba, Baidu and BYD as "Chinese military companies," meaning that the three firms, in the eyes of the U.S. government, are providing assistance to the People’s Liberation Army through its military-civil fusion strategy or other means. Senior employees at these companies, including executives, have donated roughly $2.6 million to Democratic political committees since 2020, a Fox...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has issued a pardon to Stephen Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana who served nearly two years in prison for making illegal stock trades based on inside information after he left office. Buyer was sentenced to 22 months in prison in 2023 for trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000, representing the amount of the illegal gains, and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released in 2025.

Nancy Pelosi has taken the gloves off in the increasingly vicious race to succeed her nearly 40-year reign representing San Francisco in Congress. The 86-year-old took aim at Democrat Saikat Chakrabarti, a tech millionaire and former Alexandria Ocasio Cortez staffer, saying she’d never even met him during a withering radio interview in which she also took shots at a local newspaper, the San Francisco Democratic Party and even the journalist interviewing her. Pelosi has endorsed Connie Chan, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. “I’ve never seen him at a homeless shelter, or a food bank, or an...

John Thune’s daughter, Brittany Thune-Lindberg, worked for the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers PAC, which donated to multiple anti-Trump radical Democrats from February 2013 to June 2021. Elected Democrats who received donations from the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers PAC during Brittany Thune-Lindberg’s tenure include Nancy Pelosi, Mikie Sherrill, Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Jon Tester, Katherine Clark, and Sherrod Brown.

San Francisco Rep. Nancy Pelosi has finally weighed in on potential heirs to her nearly 40-year reign in Congress — giving a nod to a left-wing pol who’s trailing badly in polls. The longtime San Francisco rep and former House speaker lavished praise on Connie Chan, a member of the Board of Supervisors representing west side neighborhoods — though she stopped short of making an official endorsement. “She’d be a great member of Congress,” Pelosi said in a rare interview Thursday, per the San Francisco Standard.The powerful Den said it’d be “very exciting” to send an Asian American congressional rep...

Going a bit farther. At the Federalist this week, I wrote about the truly amazing debate between the top candidates in CA-11, competing to see who will replace Boxwine Pelosi: “The California Primary Election Season Is Screaming A Warning For The Nation.” And I said that “if you have a couple of hours to clearly understand the dark future of the Democrat Party, this is it.” It really is, if you feel like torturing your brain for two hours. But, excerpts follow the big video, I think I can give you the whole flavor in just a couple of minutes....

The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump for once again failing to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide in the White House’s annual April 24 statement, marking the 111th anniversary of the crime. The organization stated that the administration’s position reflects ongoing deference to Turkish pressure, despite longstanding recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the U.S. Congress, all 50 states, and previous administrations. It further stated that current U.S. policy is enabling broader regional dynamics that continue to endanger Armenians... ANCA also pointed to a February 2026 incident involving U.S. Vice President JD Vance,...

For decades, the Armenian American community has sought a simple action from the White House: Officially recognize the 1915 systematic annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as a genocide. It is an event that the Turkish government continues to deny. Although Congress moved to recognize the genocide in 2019 and a formal presidential acknowledgment was made in 2021, the current administration has spent the past year retreating into the linguistic fogginess of “great calamity” and “historical tragedy” to describe this dark chapter in world history... The administration’s conduct in the Iran war is under intense global scrutiny......

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Exposes Conspiracy Used By Congress To Impeach President Trump IC Inspector General Atkinson aggressively advanced a so-called “whistleblower’s” narrative, using a witness who co-authored the 2017 Russia Hoax, that was used as the basis for Trump’s impeachment WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases never-before-seen documents exposing a coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community (IC), including a former Inspector General (IG), to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019. During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President...

Creepy Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell is going down in flames. Swalwell is currently running as a Democrat in California’s gubernatorial race. As TGP reported earlier on Friday, The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice. The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019. “A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California...

California Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., have come out against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell after multiple bombshell reports were published Friday accusing Swalwell of sexually assaulting a former female staffer and allegedly sexually harassing other female staffers. Amid repeated denials and cease and desist letters sent by Swalwell's lawyer Thursday, one of the alleged victims shared her story publicly for the first time, accusing Swalwell of taking advantage of her while she was intoxicated. The alleged victim's story also included claims Swalwell pressured her to send naked pictures of herself and...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) marked César Chávez Day on Easter Sunday, though California state government offices will only observe the holiday on Monday, April 1. Pelosi issued a tweet honoring the late farmworker union organizer and civil rights leader on Sunday, shortly after posting a message of Easter greetings to Christians nationwide. Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 in Yuma, Arizona. He built his legacy in California, where his family were migrant farm workers, and where he became a labor organizer. His birthday is an annual state public holiday, though it is typically observed on Monday, April 1, when...
