Socalist Colorado congressional candidate Melat Kiros blamed Israel’s activity in the Middle East for inspiring attacks on Jewish people in other countries during an interview on Wednesday. Kiros is part of a wave of anti-Israel, far-left candidates gaining popularity in the Democratic Party. She won her primary in her Denver-area district this week, ousting longtime incumbent Diana Degette on the heels of far-left candidates winning their primaries in New York last month.

Monday on “The Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Melat Kiros. Marlow said, “If I had read that and told you that that was said by Usama bin Laden, not one of you in the audience would doubt me.”

A New York woman accused of leading a radical extremist group and posing with hand grenades in front of a Hamas flag has been arrested after allegedly funneling tens of thousands of dollars to a Palestinian terrorist organization. Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, a suburb of Rochester, is charged with attempting to provide material support to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Washburn was the leader of the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL), a radical organization formed in...

After two Mamdani-backed, card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) political party won their respective House primaries last Tuesday in New York, all eyes turned to Colorado's 1st Congressional District Democrat primary, which featured longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette facing off against DSA member Melat Kiros. The primary was Tuesday night, and, with 78 percent reporting as of this writing, Decision Desk HQ has called it for Kiros in what may be the biggest primary upset for an incumbent Democrat House member this midterm election cycle. DeGette, 68, is Colorado's longest-serving member of Congress, having been in office...

A radical, Israel-hating California teacher claimed she married a Gaza resident online to help him gain American citizenship — and push her pro-Palestinian agenda. Laura Pinho, a dance teacher at Canoga Park Senior High School in California, announced her nuptials in a wild June 16 CODEPINK Zoom webinar called “Challenging Zionism In Our Schools.” When CODEPINK activist Marcy Winograd congratulated her on her marriage and asked her to share details about her life, Pinho, 51, launched into a pedantic monologue about how she only married Salem S.E. Abu Amra to advance “Palestinian rights and freedoms.” “I have power as an...

Her hate is on the taxpayer’s dime. United States- and Israel-hating Corinna Mullin — a political science professor so radical she was arrested for leading violent campus protests — is teaching two classes at the City University of New York in the fall, The Post has learned. Mullin, who professed her love for Iran’s bloodthirsty Islamic Republic Guard Corps during an unhinged Democratic Socialists of America talk earlier this month, is teaching “Politics of the Middle East” at Brooklyn College next semester. She’ll lecture about the Arab states, Israel, Iran and Turkey, according to the course description in CUNY’s online...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) chided Jerry Seinfeld for rejecting repeated demands that he say "Free Palestine" in the post-game celebration of the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship. Instead, he said "Palestine doesn't exist." "Anyone who won't support a free Palestine is a horrific human being," the Congresswoman asserted. "As a Jew, Seinfield should be especially sympathetic to others who are being subjected to the same kind of treatment the Jews endured during the Holocaust." Seinfeld defended himself, saying "the people that Ms. Omar is purporting to champion are not being sent to death camps for extermination by Nazis....

A controversial Israel-and-US-hating NYC college professor defended the murderous Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as she clamored to bring down the US empire “by any means necessary” at a meeting of the Democratic Socialists of America. Corinna Mullin, a radical political science prof once arrested for leading anti-Israel protests that resulted in $3 million in damage to the City College of New York’s Harlem campus, lauded Iran’s “phenomenal” military for depleting US weapons stockpiles in the Middle East, as she urged support for its armed forces. “Iran has won this war. . . . its indigenous military industry has produced phenomenal...

The newly elected vice president of Massachusetts's top teachers' union is a longtime left-wing activist who has denounced the United States as a "fascist oligarchy," objected to national borders as a "construct of colonizers," and pushed resolutions condemning Israel as "genocidal." The Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA)—an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA), the largest labor union in the United States—earlier this month elected Deb Gesualdo as its vice president. The new leadership team will take over from outgoing MTA president Max Page in July. Gesualdo, along with the MTA’s newly elected president, Matt Bach, is a member of Educators...

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, deleted a previous Twitter account that included thousands of posts and reposts expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders, as well as seizing private property and nationalizing major industries and calling into question Israel’s right to exist. Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a public defender’s office in New York City and doctoral student, has emerged as one of the most prominent left-wing challengers in the country after Mamdani endorsed her bid to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stole the show at a recent congressional hearing with two jars of brown water. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) explained that the dirty water had come from Morgan County, Ga., where a Meta data center is allegedly tainting the water of local residents. It was an image perfectly suited to driving the intensifying opposition to data centers in that it was photogenic, easy to understand — and misleading. According to reporting in the New York Times last year, the water problem has affected four homes in the vicinity of the data center, not the entire county, as AOC implied. It...

Democratic socialist Councilwoman Shahana Hanif lashed out against a pair of Muslim organizers of a massive pro-Israel protest at Gracie Mansion on Tuesday night, seething that she prays they go to hell. Hanif, best known for her frequent anti-Israel remarks, raged in a post on X that she hopes the organizers are condemned “to Jahannam” – the Islamic equivalent of hell. The lefty Brooklyn lawmaker reposted two advertisements for the “Protest Zohran Mamdani” demonstration that specifically featured Muslim speakers. The protest, held a block away from Gracie Mansion, was presented by EndJewHatred. Anila Ali, the president of the American Muslim...

The media has an odd term for the sullen young women who have made a sexual fetish of pretty-boy killer Luigi Mangione. They’re called Luigi Fangirls. It evokes a frolic, young women skipping down the street, singing, holding hands. You know, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” But I much prefer another name, a more direct name: Witches. I’m told that witches are supposedly fictional, a phobia created by men, by the patriarchy, to impose our evil will upon women who cling to stories like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” to justify generations of their cruelties upon boys, from wholesale abortion to “gender...

Three cheerleaders for Luigi Mangione have followed his trial and advocated for the 28-year-old accused of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson to death in December 2024. One of those people, 32-year-old Lena Weissbrot, is apparently the daughter of a CVS Healthcare executive, according to a New York Post report. Bloodthirsty Luigi Mangione fangirls unapologetically celebrate CEO’s assassination: ‘F—k Brian Thompson,’ ‘His children are better off without him’.

Maureen Galindo, who was chosen by Texas Democrats, terrifyingly with about 29% of the vote, to advance to the party's primary runoff for the state's newly redrawn 35th Congressional District, is under fire for inflammatory remarks that include a pledge to send 'American Zionists' to 'internment camps.' In an Instagram post last week, Galindo wrote, "When Maureen gets into Congress, she'll write legislation so that all Zionism and support of Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-Semitic, since it's Zionists harming the Semites." "She'll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officials for human trafficking." "(It...

Maureen Galindo, a Democrat running for Congress in Texas Congressional District-35, wants "to save America from the devious schemes of Zionist Jews by incarcerating them in internment camps. I'm not against Jews per se. Jews who are simply members of the proletariat who wait in line with fellow citizens to buy bread or are toiling beside each other on the collective farms are acceptable, but those who have money and influence--running big businesses, Hollywood studios, media firms and donating millions to political candidates--are dangerous to our democracy. We need to neutralize their power. The best way to do that is...

A Democratic House candidate in Texas drew condemnations from her own party after she said that she would turn an immigration detention center into a “prison for American Zionists” if she won the election. ... ...In a post to Instagram, Galindo said she would turn the "Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking." "It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists," Galindo added.

In what would have once been viewed as career-ending rhetoric, a Democrat candidate running for Congress in Texas is now openly discussing prison camps for ideological opponents -- and doing so in a political environment where outrage, extremism, and online performance increasingly generate attention instead of condemnation. Maureen Galindo, a Democrat candidate for Texas' 35th Congressional District, stunned many Americans after comments in which she called for converting the Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for "American Zionists" and former ICE officers. Even more chilling, she suggested the facility could also become "a castration processing center for pedophiles, which...

National Democrats are going after San Antonio-area congressional candidate Maureen Galindo, placing a last-minute ad buy against her amid backlash over antisemitic comments she made on social media. The spot, which began airing Friday ahead of Tuesday’s primary runoff, dubs Galindo “MAGA Maureen," highlighting what they say is Republican meddling in the race after a super PAC with suspected GOP ties began boosting her with supportive ads earlier this month. It’s paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and is the group’s first spending in the runoff, totalling $34,000. The group is hoping to prevent her from becoming the...

Galindo has pushed conspiracy theories involving "billionaire Zionist Jews," human trafficking networks, and claims tying her runoff opponent to them. She's described as a therapist/housing activist with a pattern of inflammatory rhetoric A Democratic candidate in Texas's 35th Congressional District is facing widespread bipartisan condemnation after proposing to convert a federal ICE detention center into an internment camp for "American Zionists" and former ICE officers. Maureen Galindo, who advanced to the May 26 Democratic primary runoff after leading the March primary with about 29% of the vote, made the remarks in a recent Instagram post. She stated she would turn...
