[snip] Cornish introduced the story by saying Piker had made remarks “suggesting American Jews supporting Israel would make antisemitism worse.” She then played the clip and asked the panel to discuss the backlash and the role of outside voices in campaigns. Arm pushed back, arguing the show’s framing was too charitable, that "you were suggesting, the show was suggesting, Piker’s comments were essentially just that antisemitism is rising because Jews are Zionist." Cornish cut him off with rising irritation: “If you're going to come on the show, I need you to listen.I really need you to listen and respond to...

If you were paying attention, you would notice a glaring case of two logically incoherent media narratives at play. Specifically, skyrocketing inflation under Biden during a midterm election year was considered a “transitory” blip, but a more tempered inflation rate under Trump during another midterm election year, despite a major war, was cast as setting the economy on the precipice of a complete disaster. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the five-month average annual rate of consumer price increases spanning the Iran War (March-July) averaged 3.6 percent. During the same period in 2022 under Joe Biden, with no...

Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democratic primary election for one of Michigan's US Senate seats. Self-identified Marxist Hasan Piker denounced the 51% of Democrats who did not vote for El-Sayed, calling them "unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of s**t." Long-time Democrat strategist James Carville expressed his disappointment that "communists and antisemites are trying to take over the Democratic Party. I am NOT going to be in the same party as Hasan Piker! His idea that the Democratic Socialists are going to seize the means of production is what Lenin did in Russia a 100 years ago. It led to widespread poverty, secret...

The revelation that the State of New Jersey registered 6,600 admitted non-citizens to vote prompted Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) to blame it on a "software glitch." IDEMIA software is what the state uses to handle driver's licenses, vehicle titles & registrations. In the process of doing these tasks the customer is first asked whether he or she is a citizen. If the answer is yes, he or she is also offered the opportunity to register to vote. If the answer is no, he or she isn't supposed to be allowed to register to vote. A spokesperson for IDEMIA insists that...

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex) says he will block President Trump's diplomatic nominees until he expedites funding for treatment for HIV and AIDS around the world. "The AIDS virus was first identified by American doctors in 1981," the he pointed out. "As such, I think it is our moral obligation to fund the treatment of its African victims who represent the largest and poorest concentration of victims in the world. President Trump should do this because it's the right thing to do, but the only way it seems like you can get the administration's attention on some of these funding issues...

A poll of 1022 American Jews conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is viewed more favorably than either Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or US President Donald Trump. The percentages of favorable to unfavorable were Mamdani 44% to 39%, Netanyahu 32% to 59%, and Trump 29% to 70%. A Brooklyn poll respondent explained "I voted for Mamdani because he is a socialist. This means he will be giving the people many free goods and services that the other two guys would never do. So, he is a better...

Tlaib, Concerned that their Party's shift toward socialism might not appeal to normal Americans, ten members of the US House of Representatives and three candidates aspiring to win seats in the House have signed a "Promise to America Pledge." The Pledge includes a call for "an economy that rewards hard work, lowers costs, and expands opportunity, secure borders, orderly immigration, safe communities, competent government, free speech, and pride in America." Democratic socialist firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) scoffed at the pledge, calling it "a surrender to the MAGA Republican agenda. Real Democrats want an economy that guarantees a living...

Citing a report--titled "The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota's Fraud Explosion"--prepared by the House Oversight Committee, Vice President JD Vance has asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) "to investigate Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and other high officials. According to the testimony of over 30 whistleblowers, their efforts to inform the Governor of the extensive corruption in state-administered grants to firms supposedly providing benefits to needy clients were repeatedly ignored or rebuffed, and those trying to expose the fraud were intimidated." In the Committee hearings Walz testified "I never personally observed...

This week the United Kingdom's Labor Party's Defense Secretary John Healy resigned, saying "Prime Minister Starmer refuses to ask for enough money to fund the kind of military we need to defend our country in this time of rising threats." Starmer disagreed and pointed out "we are engaged in a transition to what I feel is a necessary pivot from our long-term reliance on the United States to provide our defense. During the 20th century the US came to our aid in two world wars. Then for seven decades defended us from Russian aggression. This enabled us to spend more...

Lydia Grant, president of the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council, announced that "funding for our annual Fourth of July parade has been pulled by Mayor Bass. We've been doing this parade for over 50 years. I was very shocked because the mayor herself said to contact her staff to get it done. Then they started ignoring us. This has never happened before." Bass blamed Trump for the cancellation, saying "since President Trump has made such a big deal about this being the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence I felt duty bound to thwart his ambition to make this year's observation...

Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) brushed aside the negative aspects of his Party's prospective nominee for the US Senate seat in Maine, saying "yeah, he's had some troubling behaviors. First there was the Nazi tattoo on his chest. I mean, who does that? Then there is the revelation that he's been unfaithful in his marriage. This isn't so unusual. Congress has a special fund to pay off the women that are abused by its members. Finally, there is his boast that he would rape anyone who breaks into his house to demonstrate his dominance. These aren't the words that I would...

In 2024, California voters approved Proposition 36 by majorities in every one of the state's 58 counties. This proposition boosted penalties for repeat offenders of smash-and-grab thefts, organized retail crime, and open drug dealing. Assemblywoman LaShae Sharp-Collins (D-district 79) felt that "making repeated retail thefts a felony is too harsh. Such thefts are an inevitable outcome in a society where poor people lack the money needed to legally acquire the things they need or want. Shoplifting is a relatively peaceful way of overcoming the deprivation of not having a job or the income to afford stuff. Rather than trying to...

This week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) spoke before the 2026 CAP IDEAS Conference that was hosted by the Center for American Progress, saying "first, as a guarantee, we are taking back control of the United States House of Representatives in November.

People like 64-year-old Californian Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong who has been registering homeless skid row folks for the last 20 years. She lets them use her home address so the mail-in ballots the state sends to every registered...
