The panel said there is no evidence that the works, which are held in the collection of Bremen Kunsthalle, were lost as a result of Nazi persecutionGermany’s advisory panel on Nazi-looted art has rejected a claim by the heirs of George Grosz for two of his paintings held in the collection of the Bremen Kunsthalle, saying there is no evidence to support the claimants’ view that they were lost as a result of persecution. The panel said there is no doubt that although Grosz was not Jewish, he “suffered individual persecution under the National Socialists due to his political...

I was astonished the other night when Kamala Harris, the Democrat party candidate for president, called Donald Trump a fascist. Anyone who knows the history of fascism knows that the Democrat party's conduct both inside and outside of government more closely parallels that history. One party controls the entire federal law enforcement and intelligence system (i.e., FBI/DOJ, NSA, DHS, every intelligence agency, even CDC & NIH). These organizations use your tax dollars to bend, break, and rewrite the law to persecute political opponents of the Party. Laws, regulations, and ethics are all expendable in pursuit of this goal. In thrall...

The Hill’s “Rising” co-host Amber Duke walked off set after her co-host Nomiki Konst said Duke “made Nazi comments in the past.” “Rising is shorter than usual today because I chose not to continue sitting at a desk with someone who falsely accused me of ‘Nazi writings’ because they were losing an argument,” Duke, who previously worked as the Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent, tweeted Tuesday. “I think I have been unfathomably patient with my cohost but everyone has a line,” she wrote. The pair were discussing a controversy surrounding former CNN contributor Ryan Gidursky’s dismissal from the network when...

MSNBC shot its credibility in the foot Sunday as it spliced footage from a 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden to make a comparison with Donald Trump’s campaign rally at the same spot. “But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” the anchor said over the footage. This removed any remaining doubt that mainstream media is an arm of the Democratic Party. Politicians and pundits on...

A very serious person—Lee Smith—is asking this question very seriously. Lee Smith is one of the sharpest political analysts around. And yesterday, writing at Thomas D. Klingenstein’s site, Smith asked a question that has probably occurred to the rest of you: “Is the Left Preparing for War If Trump Wins?” If something like Smith asks the question based upon a careful review of available information, you’re no longer looking at tinfoil hat stuff; instead, this is a very serious matter that we hope the Trump campaign and the RNC are taking very seriously. What concerns Smith is the escalating rhetoric...

In 2016, you were deplorable. In 2020, you were a vector of infection and death. This year you are a Nazi. What will Republicans be in 2028? Probably genocidal cannibals from space who want to "serve man." The level of hatred the left has for ordinary Americans is off the charts, and it is dispiriting that so many ordinary Democrats have been brainwashed by a vile propaganda machine that is working people up into a frenzy reminiscent of Mao's Cultural Revolution. The brainwashing has been going on for years, and by no means is it limited to Trump. It is...

I won’t bother discussing the nonsense currently being trafficked by the media except to note that comparing Republican presidential candidates to Hitler is a playbook older than Joe Biden. Back in 2016, I picked out some select moments from “Every Republican is Hitler” history. “If the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London and if Democrats do not fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House.” Vice President Hubert Humphrey Chicago Mayor Daley accused Nixon of “Hitler-type” tactics. “Goldwater’s acceptance speech had the stench of fascism. All we needed to hear was Heil...

MSNBC is facing fierce backlash for using Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The left-leaning network included footage from the 1939 Nazi rally at the New York City arena and compared it to Trump’s own rally, which packed the famed venue. “But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” the anchor said while...

Journalists failed to ask Democrats for any proof of the bizarre claim that former President Donald Trump intended to reenact an obscure 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden other than the fact that it was in a same building. As Breitbart News noted, Democrats — starting with James Carville, then Hillary Clinton, then vice presidential nominee Tim Walz himself — claimed that Trump’s rally on Sunday evening was intended to evoke Nazi imagery.

MSNBC Plays Clip of Nazi Rally from 1939 When Covering Trumps Madison Square Garden Rally They compared it to a Nazi Rally there in 1939 showing old video clips and running a banner They called it “particularly chilling”

CLAIM: The Trump rally in Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, is a reenactment of a Nazi rally from the 1930s. VERDICT: FALSE. The claim is so absurd as to be disqualifying, and suggests a desperate, and losing, campaign. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), speaking to supporters in Las Vegas, Nevada, claimed Sunday that former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden was an attempt to reenact a Nazi rally held there in the 1930s.

Rapaport told those comparing Trump supporters to Nazis rallying at Madison Square Garden to 'Get the f--- out of here'Comedian Michael Rapaport on Friday condemned liberals for making reckless Nazi comparisons, saying on the social media site, "Keep HITLER'S name out of your mouth unless you’re referring to HITLER!" Rapaport, who spent years criticizing former President Trump before softening his rhetoric toward him over Israel, said that one is free to make many insults toward him, but should not use Hitler, Nazis and the Holocaust for cavalier comparisons against mere political opponents. "[K]eep HITLER'S name out of your mouth unless...

Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933, bringing an end to German democracy. Guided by racist and authoritarian ideas, the Nazis abolished basic freedoms and sought to create a "Volk" community. In theory, a "Volk" community united all social classes and regions of Germany behind Hitler. In reality, the Third Reich quickly became a police state, where individuals were subject to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment.In the first months of his chancellorship, Hitler began a concerted policy of "synchronization," forcing organizations, political parties, and state governments into line with Nazi goals and placing them under Nazi leadership....

The accusations against President Trump fall on deaf ears because the political left has spent the last several decades ensuring that no one takes such allegations seriously.I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but Donald Trump is a fascist, a Nazi even. And you don’t have to take my word for it. The entirety of the political and media establishments is saying as much. The Atlantic says so. Vice President Kamala Harris says so. Even Hillary Clinton says so. The closing argument of this election, it seems, is that nothing matters except that Donald Trump is Hitler reincarnated. The problem...

As we get closer to Election Day, Democrats have been really ramping up their comparisons between former and potentially future President Donald Trump and Nazis, even Adolf Hitler himself. Among those reasons includes because he dares to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, and Hillary Clinton is all too happy to join in on that ridiculous narrative. Trump's rally at MSG will take place on Sunday. There's been some mixed feelings about the Republican nominee campaigning in such a blue state nine days before the election, but the Trump-Vance campaign, as well as some allies believe the Empire State...

Trump supporters are a basket of deplorables and Nazis according to Hillary Clinton.Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said that everybody who attends Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday is a Nazi. (snip) “President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that Neo-Nazis, Fascists, in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany! So I don’t think we can ignore it!” she said.

So Kamala Harris’s last, desperate ploy is to go full Hitler. There is nothing surprising about this; as we and many others have said, repeatedly, the Democrats have called every prominent Republican since Thomas Dewey another Hitler. Abraham Lincoln obviously predated Adolf, but the Democrats’ attacks on him as a would-be dictator, a threat to the fundamental human right to own slaves, was a precursor. Comparing any American political faction to the Nazis is ridiculous on its face. Where are the invasions of neighboring countries, where are the mass murder camps? But if any American party tends toward authoritarianism, it...

As an observant reader will note, from censorship to lawfare it’s the Democrat Party today -- not Republicans -- that has embraced the exact same methods as the Nazis to seize power. But there is so much more. The Democrat use of DEI as a mandatory race ideology is similar to Nazi racial ideology -- just change whites for Jews in DEI training and you get a good idea of what Nazi racial ideology was like. The current attacks on academic freedom in universities in America also give you a good idea of Nazi methods of 1933. But that’s for...

HUDSON, Mass. (WBZ) – A group of World War II re-enactors dressed in costume dined at a restaurant near Boston over the weekend. The actors were part of an American Heritage Museum World War II re-enactment on Saturday. After the presentation, a group of them went to eat at Kith and Kin restaurant in Hudson, Massachusetts. Two of the actors were wearing Nazi uniforms, and now the restaurant is facing backlash. The restaurant owners say they were forced to temporarily close due to threats against their workers. Gary Lewi, and American Heritage Museum trustee, said the incident was “beyond thoughtless”...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that if elected, former President Donald Trump will “institute a fascist regime.” Carville said, “Just from what we learned in the last 48 hours. We had General Flynn say that the gates of Hell are going to reign on Trump’s enemies when he wins. We had General Milley say that he is a fascist to his core. We heard Trump on Fox this morning say he’s going to use the military to round up his political enemies. Trump has announced that he will be giving a speech at Madison Square Garden...
