Well, that was ugly. This is just a few short random thought.
I actually did not anticipate elections going that badly. I never would have dreamed normal Americans would vote for candidates with actual ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, Somali fraudsters who have been under investigation going back to obama. straight up communists and Christian preachers who don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus, a woke Christian preacher who believes whites are racist. People that straight up hate out country and are very open about it, but, here we are.
I saw a meme awhile back that said Americans didn’t elect Ilhan Omar (whatever), the massive amount of Somalis that obama plunked down in a concentrated area did.
While we’re at it, take a look at the number of mosques in America & Europe and perhaps extrapolate. As others have pointed out, muslims vote for muslims. They’re tribal. They don’t vote for who will do the best job or what’s best for the country or even the community they live in. They vote for muslims to gain more power.
Number of mosques in Europe and America
How did Texas turn blue? At least in part? Pretty sure they aren’t voting for the party with strong Judeo-Christian ethics, that frowns on murder, polygamy and marrying your 9 year old cousin.
Texas isn’t Texas any longer Toto
I’m more than happy to give John Thune all the credit the miserable wretch deserves. Eighty percent of Americans wanted the SAVE act. Not eighty percent of Republicans, eighty percent of Americans. But no, he just whined he couldn’t get the votes. Dude, that was your job. Hopefully you will wear the shame of your failure to your grave. Not that I’m angry or anything.
And while some Americans seem to have taken leave of their senses, as in, gas is too high so we’re going to vote for the party who had higher gas prices a couple of years ago, wants to restrict drilling, shut down fossil fuels and allow citizens to freeze to death like they do in Europe, carbon credits and mandatory green energy. That should make it better. Unemployment is horrible! It’s so high! So lets tax the heck out of businesses and entrepreneurs by calling them the wealthy one percent that doesn’t pay their share! When we tax those businesses into oblivion and no new businesses can afford to be started that should help! I don’t think the majority of America is on board with a new senator with ties to the Muslim brotherhood. And I don’t think they are going to enjoy how candidates slightly to the left of Fidel Castro rule, because communists don’t govern, they rule.
I should mention this was in a Republican/conservative voting area.
And it certainly doesn’t guarantee that every voter who left the polling location will be able to return before polls close.
County officials urged anyone unable to vote because of the shortage to return to the Linwood Community Building or contact the county clerk’s office for assistance before the 7 p.m. deadline.
But JD Vance knows what happened! Its our relationship with Israel, and the war in Iran. Because a nuclear armed Iran isn’t that big a deal.
I will point out that President Trump said when he announced aid to Israel would cease because they don’t need it. He said they are a great ally and if they need us, we will be there.
That is vastly different that what JD (Just a dunce) said. That it is our relationship with Israel. Those are two different things. And what JD doesn’t seem to understand is there are Israeli politicians that are thrilled!
“I very much hope that the American president will indeed keep his promise and permanently halt the transfer of funds to Israel,” Feiglin stated.
Feiglin argued that the financial assistance, which amounts to billions of dollars annually, represents a relatively insignificant portion of Israel’s economy. He also claimed that the United States receives benefits from Israel that far exceed the value of the aid it provides.
“In economic terms, this is a negligible sum relative to Israel’s gross national product,” he said, adding that Washington benefits from Israeli intelligence, technological developments, and Israel’s role in confronting regional threats.
However, Feiglin stressed that the central issue is not financial but political.
“The main issue is not the money. The main issue is the price,” he declared. “For the illusion of American aid, we pay every single day with the most precious currency a free people possesses: our sovereignty.”
According to Feiglin, the longstanding American assistance arrangement has undermined Israel’s ability to make independent decisions on matters of national security and foreign policy.
I’m pretty sure we may miss the intel Israel provides, and the improvements they make to the weapons they buy from U.S. factories and then share back with us, but hey? What can I say?
Ah the pundits
Perhaps this war could have been over if President Trump hadn’t said he didn’t want regime change because it’s “messy”.
Perhaps this war could have been over if JD hadn’t leaked to Tom Barak who told Erdogen about the plan to arm the Kurds.
Perhaps this war could have been over if President Trump hadn’t allowed the gullible JD to try to negotiate with people that learn taqiyya before they can crawl. They played him for the fool he is and ran down the clock.
Perhaps this war could have been over if President Trump hadn’t very publicly and foolishly called back the Israeli fighter jets on their way to Iran after citizens in Be’er Sheva were killed by Iranian rockets.
Like the war in Gaza, this one could have been over long ago if it had been fought to be won.
I look at the mess in Europe, and I notice something, the countries that have behaved the worst towards Israel seem to be getting the bigger price tag for importing all their refugees, despite what their native population wants. Israel warned England about an attempted terrorist plot in the offing. Probably Fairford. England then declared sanctions on Judea & Shomron in Israel. I’m guessing about 80% or more of Bible history takes place in Judea & Shomron (Samaria). Not that England would know that, or not that some British politicians even know what the Bible is. France and Spain both have been horrible toward Israel. Luckily since France recognized Falestine, that problem of the two state solution has been solved. I’m guessing they’ll divide Paris for the capital of Falestine?
But I think HaShem, G-d makes this clear when speaking to Avraham
And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you.”
I believe it applies to countries as well.
And now we get into why the mixed emotions. I think I’ve made my thought on the elections clear, and I’m not happy. But I believe HaShem controls the world. Tighten the seat belts. This is going off in a radically different direction and it’s definitely spiritual/religious, filled with miracles and just awe inspiring people.
I recently heard a speaker, Rabbi Yitzchak Wagner. He is one of the first Rabbis born in Germany after the Holocaust, and is the first one born in his town of Krefeld since the Holocaust. He and his family live in Krefeld, Germany, it’s near Dusseldorf. His topic was dealing with antisemitism. I took notes, because of course I did. So I’m just going to share a few of the stories he shared with us. With the anniversary of Kristallnacht coming up, I think they are timely, among a few other reasons it seems right to share them. I was taking notes as fast as I could so I don’t say there are smooth segues between stories.
The Shul in Krefeld was one of the first to be torched on Kristallnacht. It was St. Martin’s day, from a handy little synopsis not of my writing, this is St. Martin’s day and understanding how the celebrate it matters.
St. Martin’s Day (Martinstag), celebrated on November 11, is a traditional German festival that serves a similar social function for children as Halloween in the US, offering a culturally rooted alternative to trick-or-treating. While Halloween is often viewed as a commercial or imported event, St. Martin’s Day is a deeply established tradition emphasizing charity, light, and sharing, particularly popular in Catholic regions like the Rhineland and Southern Germany.
During the evening processions known as Laternenumzug, children carry handmade paper lanterns and sing traditional songs, often going door-to-door in a practice called Martinssingen to receive sweets and treats from neighbors. The festivities typically culminate in a large bonfire (Martinsfeuer) and a communal feast featuring roasted goose (Martinsgans) with red cabbage and dumplings, marking the end of the harvest season and the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping period.
The nazis weren’t wearing their uniforms that night. They were just dressed in civilian clothes going to burn down a Synagogue. The nazis wanted people to think this was a grassroots effort. They broke in and began to set the fires, they hunted and found the wine and took it out and began to get drunk. The fire in the Synagogue grew so large that there were fears it would spread to the homes of the good Germans. But the firefighters had joined the police and nazis in the drinking so not sure how effective they were.
Krefeld Synagogue pre-Kristallnacht
There are two stories that go with this part. One is a priest a street behind saw what was happening. He ran around back without being seen and got into the Synagogue from behind, he knew where the Torah scrolls were kept and managed to save one! He just knew it was holy and mustn’t burn. This was incredibly dangerous for the priest! Had he been caught with that he would have paid with his life. It was kept hidden for many years until the Jews returned to Kresfeld, then it was returned to them. Sadly after being hidden all those years it had sustained water damage, and was no longer Kosher, but it was kept and treasured in the museum. The Rabbi and community chose not to bury it. The second story involves a non-Jewish lawyer walking home with his young son who saw what the nazis were doing and bent down and whispered in his young son’s ear, “open his eyes because this is history. Never forget what you see tonight. They burned down the Jewish community.” When the war was over, there were no Jews left in Krefeld. None. But when the Jews began to come back, that young son was now a grown man, and a successful one. He helped the new Jewish community raise 15 million Euros to re-do the Shul into a community center. He had two conditions. One, the walls must have metal in the center of them, walls of metal so the Synagogue could never be burned down to the ground again and two, there could be no empty space under it so no one could plant a bomb under it.
The new Synagogue in Krefeld
Another amazing thing, the company from 1901 that made the original windows is still in business and they were able to get them to make new windows!
New windows, same 1901 company
This building was Bayer chemicals. They were nasty people. They had a building there and wanted to expand. The problem was the Jews had a cemetery. They sent the community a letter saying we’d like to buy the property. Which means we’re going to give you a paltry sum and you’re going to consider yourself lucky to have it. This later became a building for the gestapo. What you see in this picture is a Torah scroll dedication with many Jews dancing with the Torah in front of the building. The nazis tried to eradicate every Jew, and yet here we are, celebrating the dedication of a new Torah scroll dancing in front of the dead nazis building. And I probably should also mention, Bayer now is supportive of Chabad!
Formerly Bayer then gestapo building
The nazis had already been putting laws into effect against the Jews, they couldn’t sit on a park bench, they couldn’t own a pet, the community had an idea worse was coming. They had an antique circumcision bench, probably from the mid-1700s, and to be safe they asked Christian neighbors to keep it safe for them. Despite no Jews being left in Krefeld after the war, the Christians entrusted with the bench kept it safe. When the Jews began returning? They returned the bench. I believe it’s now in a museum. Kristallnacht was a test by the nazis. Can we burn Jewish Synagogues? Can we burn Jewish books in the town square? Will the world react? Would there be protests in America or Russia? Will Poland send troops? What will the King or the Pope say? Will England or France say anything? And the answer was a resounding nope. So the nazis concluded they could safely burn Jews. In fact when the war finally did begin, it wasn’t about saving Jews, it was about stopping the spread of nazism. The allies never bombed the railroads going to the death camps, they never bombed a train, which the Rabbi said could have made a difference.
Then the Jews began to come back, in 1981 there were about 130 in the community, yet one year they had only 9 for Yom Kippur as the numbers dwindled. The community had a discussion, do they keep the tiny Shul open or do they drive 25 minutes away and merge with a larger community. One man, a mathematician said he would do a statistical chart for them. And he laid out all the reasons to close. Another community member said Jews and statistics don’t mix. Statistics say Jews couldn’t be back in Krefeld having survived the Holocaust, statistics say there can’t be a thriving Jewish state of Israel, and yet, there is. Jews and statistics don’t go together. And then the Berlin wall fell. Suddenly there were over 1000 members! Some Russian Jews went to Israel, but many came to Germany. Now they have a nice new problem, they need a bigger Shul!! And you’ve seen the picture of it!
Germany. Rabbi told the story of an elderly Holocaust survivor that was traveling with the former Prime Minister of Canada Steven Harper on a military plane to Israel. No, I don’t remember the back story on why. I’m sorry! But anyway, the elderly Holocaust survivor didn’t realize the plane wasn’t going straight to Israel. And he certainly didn’t know it was landing in Germany. As the plane starts it’s decent to land in Germany he got so excited, all the green! All the trees! And he was so happy because all the money he had sent to Israel to plant trees had obviously been put to good use! It was more green than he could have imagined. And then they told him, it’s not Israel, it’s Germany. He came un-CORKED!!! He was not sitting his foot on filthy German soil. He had escaped once, he could not, he would not touch his feet in Germany. He wasn’t leaving the plane. That’s it! NO! The flight attendants tried, NO! The Pilot tried, NO! Finally Prime Minister Harper’s security detail tried, NO!! And by this time he was absolutely NOT moving!!! NO GERMAN SOIL will touch his feet, NOT AGAIN! Finally they told the Prime Minister the whole situation. He said, you know what? It’s fine, let him stay one the plane the 3 hours, don’t force him to do this. If there is a problem, let it be on my shoulders, don’t make him do it. And so the elderly Holocaust survivor was left in peace on the plane.
But the Germany of today has made some changes. Today Holocaust denial is a crime, as is a nazi salute, or to say Heil hitler, and swastikas are a crime. Which means Graham Platner can’t go to Germany and get a tattoo to match his totenkopf….
You know what else is a crime? To yell “Free Falestine” or to chant “From the river to the sea”. Rabbi says they are so stupid, you ask them what river? What sea? They haven’t a clue, they’re just brainlessly chanting. But not in Germany. He said in a recent protest they unfurled the banner of hate and destruction known as the falestinian flag and started to crank up with the “Free Fal..” and he said the police were on them with batons. That is not tolerated. He said there are YouTube movies showing it. To become a German citizen you must sign a statement declaring support for the state of Israel. Which means JD Vance should probably stay out of Germany.
Rabbi went to talk to a group of children one day about Jewish customs and they asked him if he was going to tell them about when they tried to kill all the Jews? The Holocaust? Yes, the Holocaust. He asked the teacher, they know about this? The teacher said yes they know! If we don’t teach them, who will teach them and what will they teach them? Something America should have learned long ago and we might not have some of the teachers we have now because they would have learned better when they were students.
There is a famous picture of hitler speaking by the Brandeburg gate, where hitler called for the destruction of the Jewish people. In 2018 German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier asked the Chief Rabbi of Germany, Rabbi Teichtel, what Germany can do on the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Rabbi Teichtel’s answer was to spread light, and in the very spot where hitler stood they had the largest Hanukkiah in all of Europe, almost 33 feet tall! Rabbi Wagner said they used pictures and landmarks to put it in exactly the spot where Hitler stood.
Which brings me back to how we started this little epistle off. My disappoint, and fears from the election results. I’ve heard pundits talk about how well in the past house and senate have swung away from the party in the white house. Ok, fair enough. However, it’s not the old style demoncrats that won the elections last night. It’s communists and jihadis. The old ones like Pelosi, Schumer and the like are about to be put on ice floes and left out in the cold. Nancy probably shivers when she thinks she hears AOC’s high heels in the hallways and Schumer is looking behind potted plants for a scimitar. And everyone worries about what’s under Ilhan Omar’s turban. What got elected are people that hate out country and they believe they were elected to tear it down. No, I don’t think this is a normal “swing”, and to be honest I’m not sure there will be a “swing” back. But there were some powerful messages in what Rabbi Wagner had to say. HaShem rules the world, I may not understand why things happen, they may cause pain and distress, but he created this world, he loves us. There is only him, Ain Od Milvado.
אין עוד מלבדו
Regardless of what the jihadis and communists want, statistics and plans don’t always go together.
Comrade X left an excellent link on my last column. Tip of the Stetson to you sir, my best one, the Silverbelly, it put me on a path.
The link is to an article in the Federalist about a plan found by DataRepublican on X, it concerns what the red-green alliance has planned regarding elections. Sadly I am banned on X forever and ever because according to X, I am an inauthentic human. I was shocked to learn that but who am I to dispute my authenticity with the X rulers? Which snark aside is sad because since Elon took it over it’s light years ahead of what it used to be. But I digress.
The article talks about the plan,
Over on X, DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.
Groups including the United Democracy Alliance, invoking Erica Chenoweth’s 3.5 percent rule, appear ready to coordinate the street actions, legal support, and media framing. Neville Roy Singham, operating from Shanghai and connected to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, is positioned to amplify the disruption from abroad.
I’m pretty sure the left in America won’t be doing the peaceful flower holding version of non-violent resistance. Watching the “peaceful student protests” burn Europe to the ground, I have a hard time believing President Trump will be too inclined to let that happen here.
I guess it was yesterday one of the peaceful students set a police officer on fire with fireworks. I think Macron & company are still blaming Trump and the Iran war so I’m not looking for an improvement any time soon.
But those aren’t the only plans the left, the Demoncratic Socialists of America and the regular Demoncrats, except John Fetterman, have for America should they gain power in the midterms.
Slotkin has a history of calling to jail her political enemies.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a former CIA operative, doubled down on her threats to maliciously prosecute Republican staffers and scare young conservatives away from serving in the Trump administration, pretending to be the victim of “weaponization” instead of an advocate for it.
Last week, Slotkin said she wanted a tacit threat of personal and professional ruin for any young conservative contemplating working for the Trump administration, stating, “I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him. I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that.’ I want that deterrence message.”
During the exchange, an undercover reporter expressed concern that Democrats might be “too nice” and pressed Slotkin on prosecutions against the Trump administration and its allies.
Slotkin responded that she was “with you” and outlined the plan.
“We have a list of, like, the ‘signature cases.’ So the things where it’s, like, so egregious, such a violation of law, such a corruption case… and we will have, in every committee, there will be the ‘signature cases’ where we hold people accountable.”
In a 14-page document written by Protect Democracy, two former Obama White House lawyers detail a playbook for the midterms that has been handed to progressive state lawmakers “all across the country by a network called the State Innovation Exchange.”
….
“It is a playbook for the midterms, not for winning votes, but for what happens after the votes are cast, and it lays out seven scenarios: intimidation at the polls, federal investigations, seizures of ballots and machines, fighting over counting, mass ballot challenges, refusals to certify,” he explains.
3.5% rule eh? How a small minority can change the world. I saw a meme recently that sail Ilhan Omar Nur El-Said Elmi (take your pick of last names) wasn’t elected by Americans. She was elected by a bunch of Somali thieves, fraudsters and grifters Obama plunked down in a concentrated area.
And now they have this in Dearborn. I’m not a fan of the title, but it’s a good video. It’s short and it shows the magnitude of how many there are. And, it’s probably is correct, 50% of the police probably are Muslim. We’ve seen how well that has worked out in England.
Any guesses which party they will be voting for? Did anyone see the videos of Arabs showing up to vote in the recent Israeli elections? Camels, donkeys, horses and cars all headed in to vote. Massive amounts of hijabed women. Which is interesting cause I’m pretty sure Israel may be the only country in the middle east where women can vote. Of course now it’s coming out there is money involved, as in bribing Arabs to show up and vote. That is being investigated even as I type, but the point is, people that want control will do anything legal or illegal to get control. Control seeking is control seeking, the world over.
I know, I know, the demoncrats are the men in girls bathrooms, chopping body parts of little kids etc group, which are not things Muslims are ok with, but the red-green alliance is about power. The green part of the alliance will sort it out with the red part after enough power has been gained by doing some chopping of their own. Or at least that’s how it’s always played out.
He’s just representative of a party that believes a disarmed, vulnerable populace is “democracy”.
This 3% set something ringing in the back of my mind, it got me thinking about another famous 3%, or as it was written, III%, Threepers.
It was a group of people, no membership rolls, no meetings, probably not even a newsletter. But there was a web site. Sipsey Street Irregulars, the speculation is the irregulars came from the Baker Street Irregulars in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Who wouldn’t like that?
The site was run by the late Mike Vanderboegh. may his memory be a blessing. I remember reading the blog back in the day, but if you do a internet search now for Sipsey, or Mike Vanderboegh the search results are something else. All seem to be from the left. Even using Freespoke. He and the Threepers are labeled extremist, anti-government, paramilitary, and probably if I’d kept reading I’d have found one that said they had cooties. But considering the items listed were from the likes of the SPLC (that’s an interesting column on who else the SPLC considered threats) or the ADL, it’s kind of hard to take that as factual unbiased sourcing.
One source said they came into being after Obama, or is it still Sotero? I’ve actually never heard that he legally changed his name, so maybe Ilhan is considering a run for president by using a false name. Off topic but I understand her brother has come out as being gay, so I think I know why their marriage didn’t work out.
Anyway, if you look at the way the government treated citizens under a demoncrat crime regime, I think it’s understandable why gun owners in particular might have some concerns. Those were the days of shooting women holding a baby in their arms in the head after having shot her 12 year old son and his dog to death. Ruby Ridge. Burning people alive in a church and attacking them with tanks, Waco and Branch Davidians. You know, can’t swear to this but I heard one time David Koresh used to go for a run every morning and was often in town alone of a morning. Wonder why the BATFE didn’t just have him picked up then? Maybe not as much fun in their opinion. Then there was Operation GunWalker, or as Eric Holder called it, Operation Fast & Furious. That’s from the wayback machine.
This is sort of a run down on patriot militia history. I don’t know anything about the blogger, but it just gives a general genesis.
It’s interesting what the internet views as “extremist”. Because basically, reading the articles, I think any person with an honest civics education, back when they taught civics for real, would see this as just normal Americans that understood the Constitution and wanted America to remain as she was designed. This is the Threeper creed if you will.
What Does It Mean To Be A “Three Percenter”?
Three Percent Catechism.
These four principles — moral strength, physical readiness, no first use of force and no targeting of innocents — are the hallmarks of the Three Percent ideal. Anyone who cannot accept them as a self-imposed discipline in the fight to restore the Founders’ Republic should find something else to do and cease calling themselves a “Three Percenter.”
But back to Mike Vanderboegh. One of his notable exploits was taking adequate capacity magazines into states that were fixing to ban them and handing them out.
This is why we have to fight tooth and nail to stop the Federal government from intruding on our lives and influencing our State governments through promises or threats of financial aid. You can see from the linked article below that they just will not give up. They have to win.
Which brings us back to the article in the Federalist and the left’s plan to incite chaos and try to provoke President Trump, and then it will be the left that will pursue their agenda on the state level. Sadly since 2013 many states are so deep blue now they no longer have the will to survive as America. Instead they welcome illegal invaders to kill, rape and kidnap their citizens, steal and defraud hardworking taxpayers and try to move ever closer to Sharia. These states have chosen to abandon the concept of America and embrace socialism on the way to communism. The people in those states have chosen that. If it were only their states affected, I might shrug and pop some corn. But some of these aspiring tyrants will be sent to Washington D.C. to try to enact laws to take down America from within.
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
Once the left seizes power these days, you won’t get another chance. Look at Brazil, Lula was losing and he needed some “help”. He had ONE judge who had been his personal lawyer that he had then appointed to the court. He went to the one judge, who went against the rest of the court and said the polls could stay open an extra two hours. But in the areas (all conservative) where the polls had already closed, the polls would remain closed. Such that the leftist areas were open two extra hours and so guess who won? Bolsonaro and his family fled and are now safely in the United States.
Hero Polish President Karol Nawrocki turned the presidential plane around over Spain and flew back to Poland during the crisis. He fought through lines of police outside the Constitutional Tribunal and went INSIDE the country’s highest constitutional court to restore order!
Imagine the President is overseas when a judge, one whose appointment the President never finalized, walks into the Supreme Court and declares herself Chief Justice. She suspends the sitting Chief Justice and his deputy, and police called in by her and the Attorney General ring the building. The Chief Justice finds the gate chained shut, cuts his way onto his own court’s grounds, and is turned back by riot police. That same night, the Attorney General moves to strip the Chief Justice and his deputy of their immunity from prosecution, and hands the paperwork to the judge who just ousted them. The President flies home and has to push past her to get into the building.
Americans would call that a constitutional crisis. Tusk calls it “restoring the rule of law.” Poland’s Constitution says otherwise.
This was a very very ugly attempted coup. The Polish people want no part of the EU’s illegal invader plans, and so the EU wants to force those plans down Poland’s throat. They will pay for trying to remain Polish. But notice the wording. Not only does the left pervert children, sports, and religion, they use speech to do so. Restoring the rule of law is now symbolized by an attempted coup? Illegals voting in America is “preserving our democracy?” Well, maybe in that a true democracy is kind of mob rule. Having to show ID to vote is “racist”. Basically the left lies and the media dutifully parrots their lies and the foolish fall for them. Again, and again, and again. And those people will be voting, some probably have already voted and will vote again. For my part? California and some other blue states won’t clean their voter rolls and allow illegals to vote, and Jame O’Keefe and Cam Higby recent did an expose in Minnesota showing that someone can vouch for up to 8 people with no ID to vote. My opinion is any of those states that don’t run clean voter rolls don’t get to take part in federal elections. Why should the rest of sane America suffer for the corruption of the left. It’s certainly not conservatives clamoring for illegals and the dead to vote. And felons, don’t forget felons, the demoncrats love them some voting felons. ‘Biscuit’ the dog is latest dead felon to get their voting rights back from Spanberger, confused owner says. I admit, I am curious what Biscuit the dog did to catch a felony charge.
Brief side note, it seems Spanberger, like Slutkin worked at the CIA. But Spanberger also for some reason, felt completely comfortable teaching in an Islamic school.
In the early 2000s, Spanberger taught English literature as a substitute teacher at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia. She received a conditional job offer from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in December 2002. While waiting for a background check to be completed, Spanberger worked as a postal inspector, as her father did, focusing on money laundering and narcotics cases
These radicals are what you get when you vote for a Dem campaigning as a “moderate”.
It turns out that after an interview, the candidate’s team reviewed the transcript. During this process, Eralp made internal comments that were meant to remain in the strictest confidentiality. However, the document with the un-erased annotations was sent back to the journalists.
The content of those notes is dynamite. When Der Spiegel asked her about Ibrahim Ibrahim—a pro-Palestinian Hamas sympathizer who celebrated the October 7 massacre—the public response was going to be evasive. But in the margin of the leaked document, Eralp wrote the truth: “There is a PROBLEM. […] my husband no, and neither do I, want to name specific names, he is afraid of these people and so am I.”
The leak exposes the raw reality of Islamo-leftism in Germany: Eralp even went so far as to compare the threat level of these pro-Palestinian militants to that of Organized Crime and implores to abort the publication: “I can’t put myself and my family in danger for Der SPIEGEL. What do we do now? Do we scrap the whole interview?”
The biggest joke of the entire situation, however, was captured in one of the phrases that Eralp did want to publish. In a display of utter disconnection, the candidate states in the interview: “What I can say with total clarity is that, as governing mayor, I will ensure the safety of all Berlin women and all Berlin men.” A promise that rings utterly ridiculous coming from a leader who, in the same document, secretly admits that she can’t even protect her own family from the rank-and-file of her party.
The four boxes of liberty to retain freedom: the soapbox symbolizes freedom of speech and public persuasion, the ballot box signifies the right to vote and electoral participation, and the jury box represents the use of jury nullification to challenge unjust laws. The cartridge box refers to the right to keep and bear arms as a final means of self-defense or resistance against perceived tyrannical government.
Soapbox, we saw what happened to freedom of speech with demoncrats in control during covid.
Ballot box, illegals, the dead, animals, dead animals and mail in ballots, corruption galore.
The jury box, or legal system, look at the judges in Poland and Brazil. We’ve seen judges try to stop the conservative agenda at every turn. They don’t even want to deport criminal illegal invaders who have murdered.
This leaves the cartridge box and the article from Comrade X that started this column.
Midterm elections are Tuesday. Go vote, don’t vote for anything with a D after it’s name. I don’t care what they say or how moderate they claim to be. No matter what they may think, the demoncrats don’t break rank. If they want committee appointments, they will tow the party line. John Fetterman may be the last semi-sane demoncrat left and I’m not sure how long he can hold out. Some Republicans may stink in some ways, but to give power to the demoncrats is something I’m not sure we can come back from this time. They’ve made their plans clear, and they are most assuredly not good for U.S.!!! If we show up in large enough numbers, we can prevent the 3.5% that plan to launch civil unrest and forcing the rest of U.S. to turn into the III%.
Twenty five years ago today I got a phone call in the morning from my best friend, who is more like a sister. I hadn’t been up very long, I hadn’t even had coffee yet. It didn’t matter, within minutes I was wide awake. She told me a small plane had hit the World Trade Center. We were both shocked, I asked her what the weather was like in NYC, had it been overcast? Rainy? Foggy? There had to be a reason. She said they were showing some film on the news, meaning FOX national news. I flew downstairs and turned on the TV. Back in the day we had cable television. I sat there on the couch, phone in one hand, remote control in the other. At the soonest opportunity I flew to the kitchen to get coffee going, and I let my dog out. The rest of the morning was spent in shock as other planes hit other places. It soon became very clear that this was not an accident, our country had been attacked. We spent part of the morning on the phone together, both of us watching the same news programs and realizing something in our country had shifted and quite possibly would never be the same again. We worried there might yet be an attempted invasion, would there be bombs? Would there be other terrorists? We prayed for our country, for our leaders and our fellow citizens.
As it turns out, the answer to all those questions was yes, it was just a matter of time. Neither party took border security seriously enough. George W. Bush assured everyone Islam is a religion of peace. He was either lying or a naive fool, or both. We have had terrorist attacks, the Boston Marathon, the Fort Hood Massacres, The nightclubs as well as a favorite hobby of Muslims, driving cars or vans into crowds of holiday celebrants. There have been stabbings, rammings and shootings, there has been fraud and grift, and anyone who points out Muslims may not be all that peaceful is labeled as an Islamaphobe which is just ridiculous as phobia is an irrational fear. Fearing people that hate you is wisdom. Being prepared to deal with them is wisdom, tolerating and excusing them is something on the Vance/Witkoff/Kushner level.
That day we watched in horror as the two magnificent twin towers were reduced to rubble and became the tombs of many of our fellow American citizens. A plane crashed into the Pentagon and another plane was thwarted in it’s target by American heroes aboard that had heard what was going on in NYC and realized their hijacked plane was heading for the same fate. Who can forget the courage shown by Todd Beamer, other passengers and crew as they attempted to regain control of the plane and the immortal words, “Let’s roll”. Who can forget the courage of the heroes of the NYPD, the NYFD, the Port Authority. People like Rick Rescorla, who had been concerned how soft a target the twin towers would be since 1988. In fact he had warned them how an attack almost identical to the first world trade center attack was carried out. Townhall has a whole page of hero biographies, and it’s worth a few minutes at least to learn about those amazing everyday people, who were just trying to live their lives that day. There is also an article about the rescue dogs.
Who can forget how the day after, on September 12th Congressional leaders joined together to sing G-d Bless America? A rare display of unity.
But even back then, the reality of Islam and Muslims were beginning to remove the mask. One of the things interesting about the collection of clips is some in the media seemed shocked and disgusted by the displays of joy from the muslims America had taken in, but some in the media even back then attempted to downplay it, or dismiss it.
And the Arabs in Israel? Huge celebrations….probably should bring more of the vile America hating creatures in, right?
Here is President Trump, back in the day. In fact, probably the day after the attacks. He was down there because over 200 men from his companies were down there to help. But even then, the media was asking “So are you going to give money?” Hey media, you make lots of money, earn very little of it, hows about you cough up money for the widows and orphans? He is very consistent about some things.
The Islamists haven’t forgotten they hate U.S., the great Satan. The families haven’t forgotten losing their loved ones, or the people that were there and survived, the witnesses, certainly not the first responders, they haven’t forgotten.
During the filming of The Delta Force in 1985, Norris commented on the hijacking of TWA Flight 847, arguing that the United States was becoming a “paper tiger” in the Middle East and warning that terrorism abroad would eventually reach North America. He cited statements by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi as evidence of the threat.
So, who forgot?
The left, the former Democrat party has been skinned alive, and the current hybrid of Islamist and Communist party the Demoncratic Socialists of America (DSA) are wearing their tanned hide as a suit. With the exception of John Fetterman. Credit where credit is due.
In New Jersey, they have Adam Hamawy running for Congress.
Adam Hamawy’s past relationship with terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ).
Their relationship spanned a 1991 road trip the two took together to Detroit, Hamawy’s service as the sheikh’s translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamawy’s testimony on the sheikh’s behalf at his 1995 trial, where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City.
But just one year before Hamawy took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abdel-Rahman, the now-Congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies: to Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing “logistical support” to Al-Qaida.
Stanage: Using El-Sayed’s full name is “an appeal to anti-Muslim, anti-Arab sentiment…. [If Haley Stevens would have won, she would have been] shoveling weapons to Mr. Netanyahu with which to kill 70,000 Palestinians.”
Jason Rantz: It always goes back to the Jews. Every single time. It’s like a perfect example of some of what you’re talking about like the coded language. El-Sayed brings it up AIPAC absolutely every single time he can because he wants to talk about the Jews.
Jesse Arm: We understand that Ireland cares a lot about Palestine. In Michigan, most people don’t actually care about Palestine…. People in Michigan are actually scared of Abdul El-Sayed not because of Israel… he’s gonna rip away Obamacare. He’s gonna rip away private health insurance from the sixty-six percent of Americans who have it. They ran a campaign where Rashida Tlaib was attacking Haley Stevens for collecting support from General Mills and General Motors. Michiganders don’t like the sound of that anti-business politics.
This is how you know left wing groups are not what they claim to be, if they excuse muslims for doing things they claim to be against. Take PETA for example, take them off the list of reputable charities..
Abdul El-Sayed only recently clutched the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s Senate race, but his campaign is already going to the dogs. Last week, news broke that the candidate oversaw the euthanasia of more than 4,000 dogs and cats during his three-year tenure as executive director of the Detroit Health Department, which manages the city’s animal control.
El-Sayed is getting plenty of flak for the dark chapter — and deservedly so.
A one-time press secretary for former First Lady Jill Biden questioned, “I actually really really don’t want to believe this. Can someone verify?” Others have referred to it as a “pet massacre.” Political rivals are also foaming at the mouth. The National Republican Senatorial Committee seized the opportunity to start selling “Dogs Against Abdul” merchandise.
But one so-called animal rights organization is actually defending El-Sayed: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Given the animal rights group’s concern over something as silly as the term “bring home the bacon,” one would assume that putting to death thousands of pets would draw the organization’s ire.
Islam views dogs, man and woman’s best friend as unclean. I’ve seen clips of how muslims treat dogs…you can’t unsee them. Yes, there are cruel people of every religion, but Judaism and Christianity don’t condone that.
But cruelty to animals is far from Islams only habit of preying on the weak. You’ve heard of Bacha Bazi?
These preadolescent boys, called Bacha Bareesh or beardless boys, come from impoverished families and serve as “entertainers” to influential Afghans. Dressed as girls and wearing makeup they dance for their masters who later take them in order to get involved in a sexual relationship. This is how these boys provide for their families.
It is not rare that these children are often taken from their parents with the excuse that they are going to be provided with an education and a promising future. When they reach adolescent age and once their beard starts growing, their service is no longer desired and they are released. This is where their tragic lives continue to worsen due to the psychological damage caused and due to very difficult reintegration into society.
As the perpetrators have always been empowered warlords who have important positions in the Afghan corrupted government, police, and military systems, this practice, going back several centuries into the history of the country, has been a challenge when it comes to its eradication. As a deeply rooted custom, it has been a part of their culture whose archaic aspects are not easily forgotten. We find its antecedents in cultures across central Asia.
Many similarities to the rape gangs of formerly Great Britain.
It totally amazed me people like Renee Goode, who had a dog and a young son, was out there trying to prevent ICE from removing the very people that would harm them, given the chance. She cared more about protecting the criminals than her own son and dog.
What the former democrats and their supporters don’t acknowledge is Islam isn’t just religion. It’s politics administered through religion. Judaism and Christianity use faith to guide their lives, their morals and the code of conducts. They don’t impose it these days. The days of “Kiss the cross or kiss the sword” are gone. Sharia is it’s own set of governing laws, and they are not compatible with American laws. Why does it matter?
In remarks to the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in October 2022, El-Sayed described a 2010 Sooner State ban on Sharia law as part of a “history of racism,” as first reported by The Washington Free Beacon.
….
Sharia law explicitly sanctions child marriage, forced veiling, restrictions on women’s movement and employment, and brutal corporal punishments, including public flogging, stoning, and amputation. Women who are raped are often subsequently murdered by their own family members in so-called “honor killings” under the banner of Sharia law. Religious minorities and political dissidents routinely face discrimination or persecution. Basic due process protections Americans take for granted simply do not exist where Sharia law rules.
….
Even during his Senate campaign, El-Sayed attracted controversy over comments stressing the importance of having empathy for terrorists and expressing sadness at the death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
El-Sayed’s close relationship with radical left-wing influencer Hasan Piker has drawn additional scrutiny. El-Sayed held several campaign events with Piker, who has said that America “deserved 9/11” and called on his followers to kill Republican members of Congress and murder their landlords “in the streets.”
Terrorism experts have also raised concerns about El-Sayed’s ties to Islamic extremist groups. During a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Muslim Brotherhood threats in the U.S. earlier this month, Center for Security Policy counterterrorism analyst Kyle Shideler told members of the panel that El-Sayed’s father-in-law allegedly has connections to Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups.
“You might have noticed something, some changes behind me. I finally framed the cutie Cinderella newspaper from 9/11, the morning of 9/12… the newspaper that covered 9/11. It’s now officially sitting behind me,” he told viewers earlier this month.
This appears to be the standard muslim approach for the country that took these wretched creatures in. Look back at Ilhan Omar’s “Some people did something”.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar said ‘some people did something’ on 9/11. The truth is 19 radical Islamic terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11, 2001. She also said ‘the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was founded after 9/11/01.’ I must admit I am surprised to find myself as a fact checker on this matter, but CAIR was founded in 1994. So that should tell you right away how much thought she put into this speech. If Rep. Omar was a private citizen living in Minneapolis posting on Facebook that would be one thing, but she is one of 435 in the United States House of Representatives. Her words matter and she should not get a pass on them just because she is new to Congress.
….
“It is often said that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. We are now seeing a generation come of age that was not alive in 2001. Although 9/11 was 18 years ago, we must never let the events of that day to be papered over with generic words that downplay the significance of the attack on America and all we hold dear. It is our duty to enlighten them, to keep the reality and the memory of 9/11 alive and strong in our minds to prevent a similar event from ever happening again.”
You will notice, the demoncrats did nothing, they didn’t remove her, they didn’t scold her, they didn’t send her to her room with no dinner. The demoncrats, except for John Fetterman, have done nothing to Omar because they too hate America now and agreed with her back then. Or they were scared of her. Either way, did they stand up for the murdered Americans? The former Demoncrat party has totally been taken over by the Islamist/Communist faction.
I don’t think these Mamdani supporters have a full grasp of the meaning of what they’re celebrating. Because if we were under Sharia law they wouldn’t be in a bar alone with their faces uncovered, bare arms and drinking. How do they not understand this? How do they not know these things?
An affluent Virginia school district located just miles from where Islamic terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon issued guidance for its teachers to not “associate” the devastating 9/11 attacks “with Islam or Muslims.”
Guidance from Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia told its teachers to be prepared to combat “anti-Muslim bias” in the classroom and to not connect the attacks with any religious motivation. The guidance, obtained by FOX News, was issued ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Fairfax County is located outside Washington, D.C., and just miles away from where the 9/11 terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon, killing over 180 people.
It absolutely was a religious attack. This is what they west doesn’t understand about Islam, hamas, hezbollah, houtiem, or any of the other terrorist organizations. They keep thinking it’s about land. It is about land only to the extent that the land is being conquered in the name of Islam.
The younger generations are having knowledge hidden from them, and the past is being scrubbed and distorted by the very entities that they should be able to turn to for the truth, their teachers and the media. Apparently some within those institutions have already happily accepted their Dhimmi status.
So, is it just El-Sayed’s father-in-law a terrorist sympathizer? Nope.
Fatten Fathy Elkomy, who came to the United States in the 1980s and was a nurse practitioner, also worked for the Islamic “charity” IARA-USA (Islamic American Relief Agency), the American branch of a Sudan-based network, according to White House correspondent Natalie Winters. The Treasury Department in 2004 officially designated the network because of its support for 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and multiple terrorist groups, including Hamas, the Taliban, and al-Qaida.
Just when Michigan Democrats decided their Senate nominee needed a little extra family flair to spice up the 2026 race, along comes Abdul El-Sayed’s maternal sister — University of Chicago professor and self-described queer Muslim activist Eman Abdelhadi — reminding everyone that radicalism isn’t just a campaign slogan, it’s apparently a hereditary condition.
While big brother peddles progressive public-health vibes to the voters, sis has been busy celebrating the morning of October 7 with a cheerful “freedom” tweet, cheering on a student intifada to “break this country wide open,” and capping it all off by allegedly hocking a loogie at a state trooper during an anti-ICE freakout that earned her felony battery charges.
And the best part? She’s still collecting a paycheck from an elite university that’s about to get a massive federal cash dump.
It appears the El-Sayed family hobby is hating. Hating Jews, hating Israel and hating America, where he wants to have influence over our lives by being elected. And demoncrats? They’re fine with it. Unlike President Trump who has made it clear that bat rabid insane people like Tucker Qatarlson and Klandace Owens do not represent or speak for the right, the demoncrats have welcomed them into their “big tent” of America hating circus clowns.
But it never stays in the Mollusks, Mosques, no it spreads out on the streets, loud calls to prayer disrupting lives of uninterested Americans. It spreads out into the streets, rumps facing the sky forcing people to walk around them or shutting down the streets in a sign of domination. They have mollusks they could pray inside, this is about domination, and it’s not allowed in Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain.
Even when they are warned by people who know what they’re talking about.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a brave Christian migrant who survived Sharia law in Iran walked straight up to the McKinney City Council and delivered a blistering, unfiltered warning that had the chamber erupting.
Eddie Isa (also referred to as Eri Issa / Edwin Isagholi), an Iranian-born Christian and self-described “Sharia law survivor,” stood before the packed August 4, 2026, meeting and told the council exactly what soft Westerners refuse to hear.
“I’m a Sharia law survivor from Iran,” he declared. “I’m TELLING YOU, this is a BAD idea, and you’re going to REGRET not listening to people like us who lived under Sharia law!”
And they don’t just want to disrupt the lives of adults, like any program that wants to gain control, they go after the young and impressionable. That’s why you have so many communist college professors.
But let’s roll back to New York City, to finish up for September 11th, the 25th anniversary of the attack by muslims. Mamdani the jihadi. A lot has been written about his and his family’s ties to terrorism. His little ugly jihadi wife. And his ugly policies. Here’s What the DSA’s Policy Platform Would Cost America. The Numbers Are Staggering.
There will be ceremonies today, honoring those of 9/11. Quite understandably the families do not want commmie, jihadi Mandani to be there.
A coalition of 9/11 family members, first responders, and elected officials gathered on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday to deliver a message to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani: stay away from this year’s Sept. 11 memorial service.
“This mayor is not serving us,” Charles Wolf, who lost his wife on 9/11, said at a noon news conference. “He’s serving himself. We are asking respectfully that he not show up.”
“Even though there is going to be other politicians there, these are the politicians that helped us push beneficial laws through and literally held our hand during that time,” Wolf continued. “Mayor Mamdani has not shown any of that, none of it. He just wants to be there because he wants to be there.”
“So we are asking him to respect the fact that that trauma is revived during the ceremony. It is a private ceremony. It is not a public ceremony. Mayor Mamdani, please do not come.”
According to NBC News, Mamdani’s office has provided a schedule showing the mayor attending at least eight events commemorating the 25th anniversary of the attacks, including the official ceremony at the World Trade Center site and an NYPD ceremony at which he is scheduled to speak.
Yes, the NYPD he squeaks about defunding. But this gets even uglier.
On Friday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed a proclamation commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack. He then quickly ensured the pen used to sign the proclamation was given to a man who represented an al-Qaeda terrorist and a Gitmo detainee described as the “20th hijacker.”
Mamdani may as well have driven the pen into the heart of those whose loved ones were pulverized on that terrible morning.
Did Mamdani know what he was doing? Does his wife get a thrill up her leg from Hamas?
Ramzi Kassem, who was the lawyer of Ahmed al-Darbi, an Al-Qaeda terrorist who was connected to the 9/11 attacks (specifically to the plane that crashed into the Pentagon).
But there is even more ugly to it than that and Victor Davis Hanson picked up on it. It starts at the relevant points.
If you don’t want to watch it, only a minute or so long. The antisemitic, defund the police mayor Mamdani hands the pen to the chief of Police, Jessica Tisch. Jessica is Jewish, and he tells her to hand the pen to the terrorist. The VDH clip really is worth the listen.
So, who has forgotten? I’m not sure, I think the left has, but I’m afraid it’s more than that. It’s not so much that they’ve forgotten as they don’t care, or they do care and they embrace the destruction of America, they long for the demise of U.S. The Islamists like Mamdani, El-Sayed and Hamawy, not to mention Tliar and Omar know and want to bring us down. The stupid little girls cheering for Sharia are indoctrinated and amoral. But they are willing to work together to destroy U.S.
New York City elected the kind of person that attacked them 25 years ago. They chose to be ruled over by an Islamist that hates them. I doubt it will end well, it isn’t for the UK, France or Germany. But some have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. I honestly have a lot of other thoughts that I’d planned to bring in, but this is enough. They will wait for the next column.
So who hasn’t forgotten? Sane normal American Patriots. May the memory of those who died on 9/11 or because of 9/11 be for a blessing. HY”D
Please
I mentioned earlier about history being distorted and scrubbed. I originally saw this video this morning when a girlfriend sent it to me as a FakeBook share. I was very moved. I went back to watch it maybe an hour or so later. It had been removed. After some work, I found it again. I find this to be very powerful. Americans need to know these things, they need to understand them and remember them. How many don’t or don’t care? What will be the results? As Brian Babin wrote in his statement about Omar earlier. The video is very powerful, I hope you have the time to appreciate it.
As VP Neville Vance boarded the shiny airplane to head to Switzerland to sign the Memorandumb, yes, I meant to spell it that way, of Understanding, MOU, he smiled and waved saying “My good friends, for the first time in our history, an American Vice President has returned from Pakistan bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time….” So, no doubt, off to a great start. Chamberlain’s “Peace for Our Time” Speech, September 30, 1938 A year later Hitler started WWII, or World War Eleven to Ilhan Omar.
This is going to be a different column as I have a lot of information, from different sources and I’ll just try to tie everything together in a way that makes sense. Hopefully. I will note on point #1, we shouldn’t need to specify no enrichment as with the deal Obama made with the Iranians he assured us the deal meant they would never have a nuclear weapon.
I’ll start with the the article by Dr. Guy Bechor, and it’s worth the read. It’s looking at the goals of the engagement in Iran vs what is the the MOU.
Has the United States Become a New Iranian Proxy?
The article argues that President Donald Trump, who spent the last decade promoting a strict policy toward Iran and who withdrew from the Obama nuclear deal, has now reversed nearly every major principle that defined his approach.
Below is an English transcription/translation of the main points:
⸻
1. The Principle of “Zero Enrichment”
For at least a decade, Trump repeatedly insisted that Iran must have zero uranium enrichment capability. In February 2026, he described it as a “very clear red line.”
According to the article, the new interim agreement abandons that position entirely, allowing Iran to continue enriching uranium at low levels, with the exact percentage to be determined later.
In an interview with The New York Times on June 14, Trump reportedly said Iran had agreed to suspend enrichment for 15–20 years (his preference being 20 years) and afterward enrich uranium indefinitely at low levels for civilian purposes.
The article concludes:
Trump moved from “zero enrichment” to “enrichment forever.”
⸻
2. The Principle of “Maximum Pressure”
Trump’s signature policy included:
Severe economic sanctions
Restrictions on Iranian oil exports
Sanctions on banks, shipping companies, and insurers
Designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization
Diplomatic isolation
According to the article, immediately after the interim agreement:
Economic sanctions were lifted.
Iranian oil exports became legal.
Banking, shipping, and insurance sanctions were removed.
The author argues that:
Maximum pressure has become maximum reward—replacing the stick with a generous carrot, similar to the Obama approach that Trump previously called “naïve” and “stupid.”
⸻
3. Removing Enriched Uranium from Iran
Until May 2026, Trump repeatedly demanded that all enriched uranium be removed from Iran or transferred to the United States for destruction.
The agreement instead accepts Iran’s demand that the uranium remain inside the country and merely be diluted.
Trump reportedly explained that removing it would be complicated, dangerous, and expensive, and that Iran could create problems during the process.
He also stated:
“I have no urgency to remove the material buried beneath the bombed sites.”
And later:
“Why even bother? It’s not really valuable… it’s buried deep and nobody can reach it now.”
⸻
4. Destroying Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
Until early 2026, Trump and his team—including Steve Witkoff—demanded the dismantling of Iran’s major nuclear sites:
Natanz
Fordow
Isfahan
This mirrored the Libya model, in which the nuclear program was completely dismantled.
According to the article, the new agreement contains no requirement to destroy or dismantle any facilities.
Instead, after a long suspension period, Iran would be allowed to enrich uranium indefinitely at low levels for civilian purposes.
⸻
5. Dismantling Iran’s Missile Program
Since 2018, the U.S. position required Iran to:
End ballistic missile proliferation
Stop developing nuclear-capable missile systems
Trump sharply criticized Obama’s agreement for ignoring missiles.
The article claims that under the new agreement:
Iran insisted missiles would not even be discussed.
Trump accepted that demand.
It further states that Trump argued it would be unfair to deny Iran ballistic missiles while countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar possess them, implying Iran also has the right to defend itself.
The author responds rhetorically:
If Pakistan possesses nuclear missiles, should Iran also be allowed to have them “for self-defense”?
The article notes that Iran’s missile range already reaches approximately 4,000 km, covering cities such as Rome, Berlin, London, and Paris.
⸻
6. “Do Not Give Money to a Terror State”
Trump consistently argued that money released to Iran ultimately finances:
Hezbollah
Hamas
The Houthis
The IRGC
The article contends that although Washington is not directly giving Iran money, lifting sanctions enables massive economic recovery, inevitably strengthening those organizations.
⸻
7. “Iran’s Promises Are Worthless”
Trump repeatedly criticized the Obama agreement because Iran merely promised it would not seek nuclear weapons.
The article argues that the current agreement relies on the exact same Iranian declaration, meaning Trump now accepts what he previously dismissed.
⸻
8. Fighting Iran’s Shiite Proxies
A longstanding American policy viewed Iran-backed groups as terrorist organizations.
According to the article, that principle has disappeared:
The Houthis
Iraqi Shiite militias
Hezbollah
all receive, in practice, greater legitimacy because the agreement avoids confronting them and even removes references to “terrorism” and “Islamic terrorism.”
⸻
9. Hezbollah Must Be Disarmed Throughout Lebanon
The Trump administration previously demanded that Hezbollah be disarmed across Lebanon.
The article claims that this demand has vanished.
Instead:
Hezbollah benefits from a ceasefire.
Iran demands an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.
Hezbollah would then return to Israel’s border communities.
The author argues:
Iran has effectively gained influence over Lebanon.
He further claims this sends a message throughout the Middle East that Iran remains loyal to its proxies while the United States does not stand firmly behind its allies.
⸻
10. “The Most Pro-Israel President Ever”
Trump frequently emphasized this description.
The article argues that Israeli officials increasingly view the agreement as dangerous because it grants Iran legitimacy without dismantling its capabilities.
The author writes that the president once seen as the most pro-Israel could become, in practice, the most beneficial to the Iranian regime since the 1979 revolution.
⸻
11. The Iranian People: “Help Is On the Way”
At the beginning of the conflict, Trump encouraged Iranians to:
“Take control of your government.”
“Take your country back.”
He also wrote in large letters:
“HELP IS ON ITS WAY!”
The article notes that Trump claimed many Iranians wanted continued bombing to achieve freedom from the regime.
However, it argues that the new agreement contains no commitment whatsoever to assist the Iranian people and instead provides enormous support to the regime itself.
It concludes that:
The agreement contains no demands regarding the regime’s treatment of its own citizens.
It ignores the killing of more than 40,000 Iranians earlier in the year.
The Iranian people receive only disappointment rather than assistance.
The article closes with the question:
“If this is not capitulation to Iran, then what is?”
The Iranian people get a hint of the benefits of the MOU
I’ve heard one description of the deal, by someone who is not worried because he said it will not last. He called it a “Witkoff deal written on chicken feathers”. Not sure I could come up with better. I mean look at the amazing success Witkoff had in Gaza! Hamas is still armed, Hamas is still in charge, Hamas are brazen enough to wear their uniforms and still trying to kill Israelis. A resounding “Witkoff success”. One would think President Trump would learn, one would be wrong.
But there is so much more here.
Continuing on from President Trump and Vance’s astonishing capitulation on the terms set forth before the start of the engagement, we have his equally whiplash producing disrespectful statements made to an ally we were flying missions with till about 5 minutes ago. Israel.
Now the fact that Neville Vance makes ridiculous statements shouldn’t shock anyone. Vance has been out doing a buy my new book on Catholic faith and by the way I did a great deal with Islamic terrorists that want to kill Israel first, the little Satan and then Americans, the big Satan. I’m great, let me tell you about my Catholic faith! I’m a Catholic just like Klandace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Jack Posobiac, Carrie Prejean, Steve Bannon and Heritage president Kevin Roberts! Did you know that? Thus far he’s doing the Marjorie Taylor Greene circuit of The View and Megyn Kelly.
It has a good track record of success
Maybe someone should remind VP Neville Vance of this Bible history.
Here is a clip of Vance talking to a Christian broadcasting network about how Iran’s nuclear program is just gone. They would need many millions of dollars to do anything to re-start it. Millions like the sanctions relief that he gave them. No, it’s not American taxpayer dollars, it’s sanctions relief. Just like Obama gave them and Trump criticized him for it. It doesn’t matter where Iran gets the money to them, they still have the money. They used the money obama gave them to fund terrorism after they assured obama they would never! Obama understanding the concept of taqiyya winked and said oh I know! Vance just said okie dokie. I understand Scott Bessent urged against this as once the sanctions which have been quite effective are removed, it would be hard to get them back to that level. Vance, Witkoff and Kushner said okie dokie. Money incoming. They’ll be good, they pinky swore. As Vance tells the interviewer, he’s not worried about Iran lying as he doesn’t trust anyone. Wow, poor Usha. Apparently he has not figured out that there are some people and countries more worthy of trust than others.
Interesting snippet here where the interviewer asks Vance about the Iranians just waiting Trump out to restart the nuclear. Vance is not worried about that, he’ll know! The inspectors would know! Because there are going to be inspectors. I guess you can also figure out the part about Iran promising to buy agricultural products from American farmers with their unfrozen sanctions money. When trying to figure out who to believe, how exactly are we going to force Iran to buy corn? Sure we don’t release the money, but I read one comment the Iranians are miffed we didn’t even send a worthy opponent. We sent Charlie Brown to kick the football as Lucy holds it.
Yeah, about that corn & inspectors.
These will start at the relevant points.
Then he brags about regional allies. Yeahhhhh, more on that later. Vance just doesn’t see any point in more attacking, because this group of Iranians said they want to get along. He’s asked about arming the Iranians. He sees no point in it. You can’t just drop them from the sky. More on that later too. But I can give you a point to it. This is a video shot inside an Iranian hospital..
He’s asked about standing on the stage with Mohammad Ghalibaf, the man responsible for a lot of the slaughter of innocent Iranians. Will it bother him? No, it won’t really bother him.
Now we can get to some of the truly insane things he has said. He accused members of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government of attacking President Trump, and he said President Trump was the only world leader that like them, and they needed to be more grateful. Apparently it never crossed Neville Vance’s mind someone might speak Hebrew and fact check him. They do and they did.
Oh those fact checkers!
So back to Vance’s big photo op in Switzerland. I’m sure he was very excited! He was going to be making history standing beside Mohammad Ghalibaf, after the signing of the MOU grinning like a possum.
Stunning
On the way into to sign the “deal of the minute” Someone asked him something about Pakistan, He answered “We love Pakistan”
So while Vance is not the least bit bothered by representing U.S. while standing next to a mass murderer and grinning like a possum, guess who wasn’t having it? Yup, the Iranians shook hands with the Swiss, but when Neville tried to shake their hands, he was rebuffed. They weren’t having it. Shake hands with Neville Vance? That weak fool? Heck NO! We have our standards.
Reports from Iran: The Americans had planned a joint photo and handshake at the start of the meeting — senior members of the Iranian delegation refused.
Another source.
This is humiliation.
No serious power walks into a negotiation room early, waits for the other side, lets the cameras roll, and then gets denied even a handshake. That is not strength. That is weakness broadcast to the world.
The Islamic regime knew exactly what it was doing. It made America wait, made America look eager, and then refused the most basic gesture of respect.
Even DJT’s best buddies Qatar. The ones helping bankroll terrorism, hiding out Hamas leadership for decades and sending billions to influence colleges and universities, weren’t having it.
Switzerland: The Prime Minister of Qatar “shrugs off”/”snubs” U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who waits for a handshake or some gesture from him as he enters the hall.
The Americans are losing the games of honor in Switzerland.
To show how moderate and more amenable the new Islamic regime is, the death to Israel clock is back in Tehran square! Totally turning over a new leaf, or a new page on the death calendar as the case seems to be.
Probably means nothing
And, to further show you how seriously they are trying to impress Vance by their good behavior, they closed the Strait of Hormuz the day after. They have agreed it would be open and toll free President Trump crowed. However, it was suppose to open, but apparently after 60 days they were going to start charging a fee. Yeah, that one is on Trump. Probably announcing from the stage of the G7 could be considered an error in judgment.
President Trump repeats his mistake and clarifies to the Iranians how it is possible to “grab the world by the balls”:
If we had not reached this agreement, we could have continued dropping bombs for another two weeks, three or four weeks—even another two years.
In such a situation you would never have the Hormuz Strait open.
But some of that may be kind of subtle. If only they’d come out and say what they mean.
From Israel Today:
Abdollah Haji Sadeghi, the Iranian Supreme Leader’s representative to the IRGC: “Iran will never be friends with America, and will never give up its quest to eliminate the Zionist entity.”
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterates that his nation will not stop enriching uranium.
Since then the President and the new moderate, amenable Iranian regime have been having a social media spat. President Trump has said the Strait is open, toll free. The Iranians said nopity nope nope.
Well, seems there is an environmental fee. Must be different than the fee President Trump said it wouldn’t have.
And it has been noticed. By the whole region.
The people that actually understand have entered the room.
See, the thing is, that’s not the only talking Vance has done. The following is from Mosab Hassan Yousef. The bravest man I will probably never get to meet. I’ve mentioned in columns before something about a plan to arm the Kurds I had heard about. Which made a lot of sense, they are battle hardened fighters and could help the Iranian people organize. But for some reason that never happened.
Mosab Hassan Yousef on X:
The Secret Plan to Install Ahmadinejad as Iran’s Leader, And Why It Collapsed
A senior Israeli intelligence figure has now confirmed what was hidden during the recent war: Israel and the United States went into the conflict with a concrete plan to overthrow the Iranian regime and install former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the transitional leader.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Tamir Hayman, who headed Military Intelligence during Operation Roaring Lion, spoke openly on PBS’s Firing Line about the multi-stage operation that was supposed to follow the initial strikes.
Ahmadinejad had been consulted in advance and was initially willing to play the role. The plan even included a targeted Israeli strike on his home in Tehran on the very first day of the war, February 28 designed to free him from house arrest so he could publicly emerge as the new face of power.
But the real centerpiece of the entire sequence was something far more ambitious: a Kurdish military invasion into northwestern Iran. The goal was to ignite rebellions among Iran’s oppressed ethnic minorities, pin down large numbers of IRGC and Basij forces, create internal chaos, and open the door for regime collapse from within.
The plan never got that far. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan saw any Kurdish advance as a direct threat to Turkey’s stability and interests. He personally convinced President Trump to cancel the Kurdish invasion. Once that opening move was removed, the whole sequence fell apart.
Ahmadinejad himself was injured in the Israeli strike meant to liberate him. He survived, went underground, and quickly distanced himself from any further cooperation. He is alive today. What was intended as a clean “jailbreak” became a near-death experience that ended his involvement.
I personally met with Iranian Kurdish leaders in Erbil during the first two weeks of the war, under IRGC fire on the Iraqi-Iranian border. I saw the real potential on the ground, the networks, the motivation, and the strategic value of using internal pressure from Iran’s minorities. Kurdish forces were willing and ready to move.
Trump had the chance to change the equation decisively. When Erdoğan pushed back, he blinked. That was the moment the operation lost its strategic backbone. Israel had no plans to strike Iran early this year.
Trump, emboldened by his success in Venezuela, wanted another quick win. When faced with real challenges, he abandoned the main pillar of the plan.
The regime survived because the Kurdish card, the only serious internal lever available was removed before it could be played.
President Trump turned a potential historic opportunity into a strategic defeat through impatience and poor war management. He is now desperately seeking an exit to save face, while the Iranian regime remains intact and more dangerous.
This is not theory. This is what actually happened.
How did Erdogan even find out about arming the Kurds??
What’s that word when you betray an ally during a military engagement?
And it’s worth remembering who Erdogen is…a blast from the recent past, Tulsi Gabbard, former director of National Intelligence.
However, Vance goes off on Israel chastising them because some of their weapons came from America and they should be more grateful. Which is how American aid to Israel works. They get credits at the company store to buy American weapons and ammo, thus employing American workers. So yeah, those things came from America because that’s what the 3.5 billion in American aid to Israel does. Ok Neville Vance, now do Ukraine. How much money has America sent to Ukraine? How was it spent? Why can’t it be accounted for? Interesting.
But let’s go on to President Trump now. He has shown lack of wisdom, in my opinion by continuing to use Witkoff & Kushner as envoys to the middle east. I’ve said it before, and yet again, they may be perfectly nice men that he would trust to take his granddaughter shopping or do a land deal in Manhattan, although he might want to re-think about hotel deals with Witkoff. I saw an interview with Batya Ungar-Sargon and Mark Levin about Batya’s new book just out. The Jews and the Left, and they discussed the MOU. Batya has met Witkoff and said he seems to be a very nice, sincere man. Which does not qualify him for this job. Neither Witkoff nor Kushner and certainly not Vance are informed enough on dealing with Islamic terrorists and that mindset. And so, the three stooges blunder on with this MOU, but providing fewer smiles than the original trio.
President Trump has made absolutely outrageous statements against Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, horrible, even as he praised the Islamic terrorists. I’ve heard “Oh well, it’s the good cop, bad cop routine”. No, it’s not. It’s statements that set a tone for Israel’s enemies and they seize upon them like Vance’s self-proclaimed new best friend Joy Behar on a drumstick. It’s disrespect in front of the whole world.
The claim is worry over the number of people killed in the Israeli air strikes in Lebanon?
The Lebanese Civil Defense: About 30 killed in southern Lebanon as a result of the Israeli strikes.
If the Europeans say that’s a lot, you can always refer them to the words of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, yesterday, in which he expressed admiration for the “impressive numbers” of 30–35 thousand (!) Russians killed every month.
We’re still not that “impressive.”
Somehow, neither Vance nor Trump seem to even mention that. Only what Israel does.
Part of what he says is demonstrably stupid and untrue. Like not having to knock down a whole building to kill a terrorist. Apparently Witkoff and Kushner never told him that quite often a whole building is occupied by IRCG and their families. And that also ignores the brilliance of some of these attacks. Hitting a single apartment in a whole building. Don’t believe me? I have photos.
Observe the two holes in the roof? And yet the building stands. Just one apartment.
President Trump & VP Vance should get like an advisor to tell them about these things.
Why would he say such a thing?
Here’s a fun apartment story for you,
Interesting details about the elimination of the Iranian Quds Force operative today in Beirut 👆
According to Lebanese sources, the apartment that was attacked today in Hazmiya, Beirut, was rented a few months ago by Thria Ali Yazbek, the wife of Mohammad Ali Kourani – the Iranian Quds Force operative who was eliminated in the strike.
Israel has already tried several times in the past, unsuccessfully, to eliminate Kourani.
Today he arrived at the apartment about two hours before the assassination attempt, accompanied by his wife and son, and went to sleep.
His wife and son left the apartment unharmed before the strike.
Kourani survived an assassination attempt a few weeks ago, when the IDF attacked the Comfort Hotel (also in Hazmiya) on 4.3, where Kourani was staying.
Kourani left the hotel just minutes before the airstrike and thus survived.
Today, luck was not on his side and he “said goodbye to the World Cup.”
OH! You mean the Iranian terrorists might hide in Beirut?? WOW, it’s a shame no one mentioned that to the President.
Then in a statement completely divorced from reality, he suggests that sending in the ISIS terrorist now ruling Syria, Al-Julani might be a better option that allowing Israel to continue to work with the legitimate government of Lebanon to rid itself of Hezbollah, which the Lebanese government doesn’t want either. He stated Al-Julani wouldn’t knock down a whole building.
The disconnect
Trump on Abu Mohammad al-Julani, President of Syria:
“The gentleman from Syria, who is now the president, did an outstanding job. He managed to unite the country within a year and a half. A bit like us—a year and a half, pretty much the same scale.
They told me: ‘Don’t go near him, please. He’s a very violent man, Al-Qaeda.’
I answered: ‘Well, one thing I know—a Boy Scout isn’t going to solve the problem.’
And in practice, he did a very good job. He would have been happy to handle it, you know. Hezbollah is his enemy, and he would have taken action. But he wouldn’t have collapsed buildings every time he heard someone was inside. He would simply go and catch him, in a focused and precise way.
But I don’t know if people want that.
Maybe not. Maybe Lebanon doesn’t want that. We also need to take Lebanon’s position into account to some extent.”
Conclusions from Trump’s statements:
You need to slaughter the enemy quickly, efficiently, and convincingly, and not drag things out.
Bringing down buildings makes too much noise.
You need to slaughter quietly. Go into the houses and do it there behind closed doors—and… leave the building standing!
Let me remind you of the tender mercies of Al-Julani.
Hikmat al-Hijri, the spiritual leader of the Druze community in Syria:
We thank the countries that stood by us during the massacre and genocide we experienced, first and foremost the State of Israel with all its components, whether they are Druze or not.
The IDF struck targets of the Syrian regime in southern Syria last night in response to an attack by the regime against the Druze in As-Suwayda
IDF Spokesperson in Arabic:
During the night, the IDF struck a headquarters and military equipment in Syrian regime army camps in southern Syria, in response to yesterday’s (Thursday) events in which Druze civilians were attacked in the As-Suwayda area.
The IDF will not allow harm to Druze in Syria and will continue to act to protect them.
The IDF continues to monitor developments in southern Syria and will act in accordance with the directives of the political echelon.

Marking the abuse of Kurdish women by the Syrian army
One of Abu Muhammad al-Julani’s men boasts in a video published a few days ago that he cut off the braid of a Kurdish girl (possibly a Kurdish fighter) and took one as a souvenir after killing her in the Raqqa area, which was captured by Syrian army soldiers from the Kurds about a week ago.
The shock at the cruelty of Abu Muhammad al-Julani’s soldiers, reminiscent of the shaving of the Druze mustaches in As-Suwayda by the same people, sparked a wave of solidarity on social networks with “the Kurdish braid,” which has become a symbol

Syria: Abu Muhammad al-Julani’s men, upon their entry today for the first time into the village of al-Karama in the east of the city of Raqqa in eastern Syria – are waving the ISIS flag.

Syria: Two videos worth watching to understand the close connection between the current Syrian regime and ISIS.
In the videos, vehicles carrying Abu Mohammad al-Julani’s men / the New Syrian Army are seen entering the al-Hol camp in Hasakah province for the first time.
The al-Hol camp, which until today was secured by Kurdish SDF forces, is home to tens of thousands of family members of dangerous ISIS operatives imprisoned in Syria. Women, children, and boys who have grown up.
Notice the joy and excitement of Abu Mohammad al-Julani’s soldiers, and notice the joy and excitement among the families of ISIS operatives.
You can’t fake this and you can’t hide it. It’s authentic.
Abu Mohammad al-Julani’s men have reached their loved ones, their brothers, their family members.
Abu Mohammad al-Julani and his men are ISIS, and ISIS is Abu Mohammad al-Julani and his men. They are one and the same.

The Kurds in Iraq and Turkey are rallying to defend their brethren in Syria: demonstrations against the American consulate in Iraq, a general Kurdish mobilization aimed at entering Syria from Iraq and Turkey
Large demonstrations by Kurds were recorded last night in Iraq and Turkey.
A central protest was held in front of the American consulate in Erbil, Iraq, in protest of the Americans abandoning the Kurds in Syria.
The protesters stood on the consulate walls, removed the “USA” inscription from the entrance sign, and waved Kurdish flags.
Demonstrations were also recorded in other areas of the Iraqi Kurdistan region: in Dohuk, in Sulaymaniyah, in Zakho, and more.
The Turkish consulate building in Dohuk was breached and the Turkish flag was removed.
Kurdish Peshmerga battalions in Iraq are preparing to enter Syria.
Kurdish civilians in Qamishli (eastern Syria) armed themselves as part of a general mobilization for war against the regime of Abu Muhammad al-Julani, who began entering the nearby Hasakah province.
The Nusaybin border crossing between Syria and Turkey (Qamishli) was set on fire. Kurds from Turkey entered Syrian territory to assist their brethren. The Turks are trying to prevent the entry of Kurds from their territory.
—-
Syria: Difficult-to-watch videos are being published in which Abu Mohammad al-Julani’s men are seen piling the bodies of Kurds onto white pickup trucks and boasting about killing the Kurds.
It is possible to find quite a few similarities to 10/7.
The Kurds were abandoned by the Trump administration. The U.S. is currently on a weekend break, and the Kurds are suffering their worst defeat in recent years.
Unbelievably, the grown up in the room appears to be Al-Julani, the ISIS terrorist with the Zelensky cnn makeover who is running Syria. I don’t know what it is with President Trump and loving on terrorists with compliments. Al-Julani, the Islamic terrorists in Iran, Erdogen, it’s like the cheerleader in high school who keeps having crushes on the school “bad boy”. The Fonzi guy who smokes outside the school, never does homework and spends over half his day in detention but probably has a bright future in the Demoncrat party. He does love him some terrorist compliments. Didn’t work, Al-Julani didn’t bite.
The President of Syria declares: “You will not see Syria fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon.”
And while President Trump is very upset about how Israel is handling Hezbollah in Lebanon, it might be worth mentioning what justice they are bringing to the families of murdered American servicemen. Why President Trump is upset about Israel dispatching a terrorists that murdered American soldiers, I’m not sure. But he does seem to be heap mad.
The attack carried out by senior Hezbollah member Ali Moussa Dakdouk (the recently eliminated) against American forces in Iraq
One of the most prominent operations attributed to Ali Moussa Dakdouk is the January 2007 attack on the American base in the city of Karbala, Iraq, against American forces.
The attack was carried out by the Shiite militia Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, which Dakdouk trained for the operation. As part of the attack, four American soldiers were kidnapped from the base in Karbala by English-speaking abductors who presented forged documentation. The four American soldiers were murdered shortly after their abduction and their bodies were found. Another soldier was killed during the attack itself.
Dakdouk was captured by the Americans in Iraq later that year but was handed over to the Iraqis to stand trial. He was acquitted in the Iraqi courts and released in 2012.
These are the names of the American soldiers murdered in the operation:
1. Jacob N. Fritz – First Lieutenant (1LT)
2. Shawn P. Falter – Private First Class (PFC)
3. Johnathon M. Millican – Private (PVT)
4. Jonathan D. Chism – Specialist (SPC)
5. Brian S. Freeman – Captain (CPT), who was killed during the initial assault on the compound.
Their families have now received delayed justice, apparently as a result of an Israeli Air Force strike.
No word if Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is upset about the justice. Come to think of it, we’ve heard precious little from Secretary of State Rubio or Secretary of War Hegseth.
The grown ups.
Word on the street is they both opposed the deal and were told to shut up or be fired.
The people of Lebanon know very well what Hezbollah are, and they want Vance to leave Lebanon out of his chicken feathers MOU.
Sami Gemayel, member of the Lebanese Christian Kataeb Party, warns:
The land will not be liberated, the displaced will not return to their homes, and we will not live in peace as long as the militias’ weapons remain on our land.
We will not live in coexistence with Hezbollah, whatever the outcome of the talks taking place outside Lebanon may be. We will not accept the existence of these weapons or the existence of this militia (Hezbollah – AA).
We will not go back. This will be the end of the period of suffering.
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran has nothing to do with Lebanon. What Iran is trying to do through the agreement is to protect its people in Lebanon, not Lebanon itself.
The Christians in Lebanon are truly crying out to the Americans and warning: you are making a big mistake when you let your negotiations with Iran affect Lebanon.
They know what they are saying. They know how Hezbollah operates in Lebanon.
Conclusion
So why have I written this very lengthy personal assessment? Two reasons, and both lead to the same result. America is far less safe. I’m not saying both men don’t have their strengths, Vance is good on the domestic fraud stuff and he does fine with the left wing media. But his personal biases have led to something disastrous.
Both men’s unnecessary and inflammatory rhetoric is going to have consequences. If you’ve ever seen someone badly beaten bloody and the perpetrator is standing there saying “oh I didn’t mean it, I was just saying that” you know very well once things are said, they can’t be un-said and consequences are coming.
Besides cnn and msnow and the woke reich celebrating the vile accusations of Trump and Vance are other world leaders.
Senator Lindsey Graham recently said “I spent 4.5 hours with Trump on Friday. If the deal fails – he will take control of Hormuz by force. Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords within the next six months.”
Oh yeah? I wouldn’t bet large sums of money on that Sen. Graham.
Amjad Taha (Emirati analyst and commentator):
“To Trump: In the Middle East, loyalty is currency. If you abandon your closest friend halfway through a fight and cut deals behind their back while leaving them exposed, don’t expect anyone to trust your guarantees again. You told the world, “The U.S. and Israel carried out an operation against Iran,” then walked away and left your ally standing alone.
In the Middle East, we don’t judge friends by speeches; we judge them by who stays when the missiles fly. A person who abandons an ally halfway and cuts deals behind their back is not someone you call in a crisis.
You will say it’s about American interests. Fine. But others also have interests, and they have memories. You can call it “America’s interests.” We call it something else: leaving your friends in the storm.
Before asking, “Why don’t they defend themselves?” remember that countries like Israel did and are still doing so alone.
And also remember that the UAE defended itself, struck back forcefully, and banned the Muslim Brotherhood. Many of your countries in the West did neither.
The lesson is simple. If you can leave your closest friend exposed today, why should anyone trust your promises tomorrow? Maybe it’s time for the Middle East to start thinking about alternatives.
And yes, when Iran strikes again, don’t assume the Middle East will dial Washington. People don’t call someone who might leak information to Turkey or cut a deal with Tehran while their friends are still under fire.”
He’s not the only one.
This is who President Trump should have had for an advisor.Who’s trust did they want?
Our European “allies”, our NATO “allies” aren’t worth a warm bucket of spit. They would not even allow us to use bases to land planes. Most of them are useless militarily as well. And now you’ve shown the Arab countries you want to be buddies with that being an ally of the United States is a good proposition for 2 minutes. Then not only do you turn on your ally, you do so in a very ugly public way. Did President Trump & Neville think no one would notice? Did they think they could just mutter “oh I didn’t mean it that way?” “I’m sorry” doesn’t stop blood, and once things are said, they can’t be unsaid. I believe there will be damage to our reputation.
Where does this leave U.S. for real allies? Muslim countries like France, England, Australia or Germany? New allies like Saudi Arabia or the UAE?
My last point is religious, or spiritual. Both President Trump and VP Vance have made horrible statements in the last few days that Israel exists only because of America. I tremble when I hear such things. I have news for them, Israel exists because G-d, the creator of the universe chose her to do so. She was re-born in one day, she has gathered her people back in from the four corners of the earth. They have come home and the land has been re-born, changing from the barren wasteland described by Mark Twain to a vibrant thriving country. A country that G-d has a special covenant with, unlike America where no such covenant exists. For them to make such statements is terrifying to me.
I will end with a portion of a movie where Rabbi Tovia Singer is being interviewed. The movie starts at the pertinent point. If you want to listen to all of it, it’s great of course, but the relevant part is when Rabbi Tovia is talking about a nation called Tyre, that no longer exists. It’s King was Hiram, and the nation was Israel’s best friend. They were very prosperous from trade and in fact supplied some of the materials to Shlomo the King for the building of the Temple. But they became haughty, and began to demand Israel give them cities, but then that wasn’t enough. That made me think of the Witkoff deal where America and a board of “peace” take Gaza away from Israel. But I’ll just let you listen to the movie. It’s set to start at the relevant part. But if haughty doesn’t describe President Trump and Neville Vance’s statements towards Israel, I’m not sure what does a better job. America has a lot of people in the country now, we don’t know who they are or where they came from. We know that when Islamics see or sense weakness they attack or increase attacks. There is so much potential for catastrophe. Such arrogance is a bad, such disrespect toward any other country except maybe England or France is a bad idea. Towards G-d? Unbelievable. A precipice? Indeed.
I admit a fondness for podcasts. I can listen to them while I’m working at home. My regulars cover Chabad shows, politics, history, crime and mysteries. One of the ones I’ve been listening to lately is from a company called Golden State Media Concepts. I can’t actually find a website for the company. I listen to the shows on a podcast app. The one that got me hooked is Adventures By Morse. It was a radio show from the 1940s. The main hero seems to be Captain Bart Friday, and his sidekick is Skip Turner, from Texas. Captain Friday runs a detective agency as so far has taken cases in many parts of the world. Suddenly last week, right smack in the middle of all the mystery and intrigue, they put on a series of shows called Carlton E. Morse remembers. They have in interviewer asking him about the early days of another show he created, One Man’s Family.
One Man’s Family is an American radio soap opera, heard for almost three decades, from 1932 to 1959. Created by Carlton E. Morse, it was the longest-running uninterrupted dramatic serial in the history of American radio.[1] Television versions of the series aired in prime time from 1949 to 1952 and in daytime from 1954 to 1955
The first reading of the show was April 12, 1932. The Carlton E. Morse remembers series, maybe three shows? Covers who the sponsors were, and now I’m craving some Royal pudding, preferably in chocolate, who the cast was, how they dealt with things like some of the actors being called off to war, and actors being called off to war in real life. But in one of the segments, they looked back at some of the dialogue from the shows, and they say which year it was and who said the lines. I think they are well worth hearing in this day and age. The lines said are all relating to the importance of the family as a cornerstone of America and American life. The only way I could manage this was to download it and clip the relevant part out. To listen to it otherwise you need to have an account on one of the podcast platforms as it’s not on YouTube, though some of their other podcast series are, and as mentioned right now I can’t even find a webpage for Golden State Media Concepts. The whole clip is only 13 minutes long out of a well over an hour podcast. It starts with Mr. Morse talking about his idea on the importance of family, then going onto the clips. They will tell you what year each line was said.
Now in today’s world, I’ll look at the murder of Austin Metcalf. In particular the trial and the reactions of the murderer’s family and community. I’ll not comment that much, instead I’ll let the headlines speak for themselves.
And then after 3 hours of deliberation the verdict was handed down, guilty of murder, not manslaughter. I’ve seen some videos on TimCast on Rumble where he talked about witness statements that Karmelo had the knife out before Austin even approached him. He had been asked to leave repeatedly and he had no business being there in the first place. So when Austin approached, shoved or not, the statement “See what I’ll do” and the fact many had observed him remove the knife and open it meant he was already prepared, he already planned to use it. Thus, murder not manslaughter was the correct charge.
And how did the murderer’s family and support system react? Mind you no where in any of this has anyone expressed any remorse, no one has expressed any condolences to the Metcalf family.
Of the 12 jurors, three were racial minorities, including Asian and Indian, eight were women and four were men. They confirmed that of the 18 total jurors, including alternates, six were minorities.
Much like the George Zimmerman trial where a Hispanic man suddenly became a “white Hispanic” to the media, and some outlets even lightened his image, I’m sure the Indians and Asians on the jury were surprised to learn they are suddenly white. Likewise the women might ought to feel fortunate they weren’t suddenly transed into “White Men”!
But I digress.
And why were there no blacks on the jury? Jason Whitlock, a black commentator explains, and tells why he’s pleased.
“I am overjoyed there are no black people on this jury,” he says unapologetically. “I don’t want anybody on this jury that’s sitting there thinking about, ‘I gotta do the black thing,’ or ‘I hear the facts different because I’m black.’”
….
He insists there is no need for “a black perspective” in this murder case — only “a justice perspective.”
“American black people,” Whitlock argues, “seem to struggle to take the racial lens off of how they see things.”
White people, he notes, can struggle with this too, but it is “more pronounced” in the black community.
….
“When I was reading some of the answers that some of the jurors gave, such as it would be hard for me to convict a brother … those aren’t the type of answers that you give if you really want to be considered,” she says, referring to the black male prospective juror who was struck after he said he would “have a hard time putting a brother in jail.”
And what has been the result of the murderer’s family and supporters stirring up this racial hatred? Not shocking.
Yesterday, I came across a video in which a black man films himself riding down the street on a bicycle, reportedly in Florida, before he pulls over where a white man is sitting on the ground talking to a white woman while they appear to be waiting for a bus. Out of nowhere and without provocation, the black man punches the seated white man in the head, accusing him of being part of the “jury selection” for the Karmelo Anthony trial; he also says to the white man, who is a veteran, “you gonna die.”
And after reading all this, you will understand why I found those lines from One Man’s Family so very poignant. Carlton E. Morse was a prophet of sorts. As you look at the family of Karmelo Anthony, and the murderer himself and his supporters, something has gone horribly wrong. The family was meant to be a cornerstone of American life, and as the family decays, so does the culture of our country.
And with that, I will leave you with the latest newscast from The Babylon Bee, who occasionally flies very very close to the truth.
This time I’m talking about national self defense. I’ve been watching with interest how the most recent Smut flotilla has been covered. This is another group of boats coming from various and sundry countries that really have their own problems and are manned by mentally ill people that according to some were drunk and high. I suppose that must be a requisite for illegally sailing into a port to “rescue” the poor falestinians….again.
What started me down this path was the video today from Victor Davis Hansen on The Selective Outrage and Hypocrisy of Antisemitism
In it he points out it is perfectly fine to criticize a country, or a government. But the problem is when there is a double standard against one tiny country. He points out as recently that when discussing Pancho Villa invading Columbia, New Mexico and killed 17 Americans. A left wing president sent John Pershing into Mexico after Villa and he put 100,000 troops on the border. Oh, so countries can and do go after people from another country that invade them and kill their citizens? There’s a precedent for that sort of thing? But another really interesting tidbit, President Obador, the previous Mexican president said just two years ago he thought it was a wonderful thing what Pancho Villa did. Guess so, Mexico is still sending their gangs over to kill Americans, but I digress. Anyway, VDH covers a lot more in this 12 minute talk. But it’s about the double standard, the standard Israel and Jews are held to versus the rest of the world.
Israel’s naval blockade — which even the UN recognized as a legitimate security measure — exists for one reason:
To prevent weapons and terror operatives from reaching Hamas in Gaza.
That critical context routinely disappears from coverage.
….
And a senior flotilla official, Saif Abukeshek, has ties to Hamas.
….
Pages from the flotilla’s website showing the links to Hamas were deleted after the U.S. declared the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad a ‘Hamas-controlled fundraising operation.’
….
This story comes after The New York Times ran a shameful and false op-ed about Israeli forces training dogs to rape Palestinian captives, and after a legitimate report detailed the real sexual atrocities committed and documented by Hamas and hundreds of witnesses during the October 7, 2023, terror attack in Israel. There has been an alarming uptick in antisemitic incidents and policies, including in New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani undid antisemitism policies of the Eric Adams administration (and where antisemitic attacks have skyrocketed).
A pair of Gaza flotilla activists have garnered outrage for filming themselves in keffiyes dancing provocatively with exposed stomachs — while demanding Israel release an accused serial sex predator.
And the selfless activists accused of sexual misconduct?
Both Ávila of Brazil and Keshek of Spain are accused by Israel of being linked to the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, an organization the US claims is “clandestinely acting on behalf of” the Hamas terror group.
That would be a sexual predator accused of sexual misconduct with three people on the flotilla.
Personally? I think the Israeli Navy should have dropped the little darlings off in Gaza dressed just as they were in the video. They’d have had a much bigger audience for their dance. Truly special.
But in fact, the Israeli Navy once again intercepted the mentally ill, or drunk, or stoned, or brainwashed activists. Again.
The brave flotilla martyrs trying to save Gaza with drugs and condoms were treated so harshly that they were allowed to put on an entire gymnastics show while Israeli vessels escorted them to shore.
The video of the gymnastics is impressive on this one. True suffering. Well, maybe if you aren’t good at cartwheels. But in much of the media this was covered as kidnapping. They were warned, they’d done this before, they knew the drill and they were far from worried, check out the video.
Now moving forward, they are in Israeli custody on shore, specifically in the custody of Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security. Here is a 33 second clip of the horror they endured <snark font>https://x.com/i/status/2057046925417824697 </snark font>. Yes yes, the innocent little aspiring terrorists were held in custody and had to listen to HaTikva, a truly beautiful song, also the National Anthem of Israel, the country they were trying to invade. Honestly? I really like the video.
Now it’s interesting, these little terrorists have a lot of crossover with the green terrorists like Greta Thunberg. So what did they do when they knew the Israeli Navy was about to get them? Threw plastic wrapped chocolates and plastic bottles into the water. Cause there is nothing like killing off the marine life to free free falestine. Last time they threw in lithium ion batteries in their cellphones and laptops. If ever you’ve wanted to see hypocrites, look to the free falestine and green crowds.
Remember how outraged the left was when they thought President Trump threw in too much fish food when the followed the lead of his host and the media edited that bit out? So yeah, pretty selective outrage there on the fishy life.
The world’s governments were outraged their countries little jihadis had been arrested for breaking the law. And actually I think that’s were a lot of this starts. These spoiled brats were probably never told “NO” and had it enforced. So after a short period of time Israel released the spoiled brats in their Israeli prison track suits.
And this is where it takes another very interesting turn. As many of the little spoiled brats reached airports, they were wearing c-collars, in wheelchairs and gurneys claiming abuse and broken backs, multiple rapes, etc. Now that last bit confuses me because aren’t these the people chanting rape is resistance? But I digressed, again. The point of this is the medical miracles!! And I do mean miracles!! People with broken spines stood easily giving interviews, people in c-collars just a few hours before were easily walking, turning there heads, jumping around and cheering like a pep squad. I’m telling you it was astonishing!
Canadian Flotilla member bursts into loud laughter while “reminding” her comrades:
“Keep in mind I have a fractured tailbone and a sprained ankle.”
Moments later, she marches briskly through the airport with no visible limp or sign of discomfort whatsoever.
But now it gets even more interesting. The world, especially the antisemitic Spanish government condemned the treatment of the spoiled brats, outrage! They condemned Ben-Gvir…horrors!
So lets have a look at how it went when the little darlings got back to Spain and began to disrupt passengers in the Bilboa airport by blocking passageways. Now I will tell you something interesting, on YouTube, you can not find a video that shows why the Police at the airport attacked them. The videos only show the police attacking. No explanations. This one from Rumble is far more informative and puts the situation in context. Apparently in countries other than Israel law enforcement is allowed to act to enforce the law. And the outrage from the world was…..just kidding, not outrage. These degenerates cause problems wherever they are.
Nor can I find video on YouTube or Rumble of some being arrested in Austria upon their return, but I think I have a solution for that in a few.
May I just take a minute and point out in my personal opinion, and I realize this one is not the majority online, I truly believe Ben-Gvir is too soft. He needs to up his game. Remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa Co. Arizona? The inmates were sometimes housed in tent cities he started to relieve prison over-crowding, the inmates wore boxers dyed pink to prevent them from being take home when the inmates were released, their meals were twice a day, and nutritious enough, but might be bologna sandwiches and food rescued from a food program, no cable TV, but he did pipe in Rush Limbaugh shows on the prison radio station saying maybe they’d hear something that might turn their lives around. The station also played Sinatra and classical music, patriotic music and educational programming. Sexually explicit publications were banned after the female officers complained of inmate behavior while perusing them. He had chain gangs, including for the women and juveniles. Both were volunteer and the juveniles could earn credits towards a high school diploma. Sheriff Arpaio’s attitude was jail isn’t suppose to be nice or fun. If you don’t like it, don’t break the law again.
Like I said, Ben-Gvir has a long way to go. Why? Because the little cos-playing jihadis keep doing this. Every time it’s a risk, every time it’s a public relations nightmare for Israel. It needs to be something with real consequences. The United States is the only country with any sense that I’ve seen. US slams Gaza flotilla: Pro-Hamas, counterproductive stunt
In a video clip published by the flotilla organizers, an Israeli navy officer could be heard calling on the activists to abandon their journey.“If you wish to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, you may do so through established and recognized channels. Please change course and return to the port of origin. If you are carrying humanitarian aid, you are invited to proceed to the Port of Ashdod,” the officer states.
“It is dangerous to remain on your current course. If you continue the attempt to breach the maritime blockade, we will stop your vessel and act to seize it through legal proceedings in court,” he adds. “You bear full responsibility for your actions.”
So, no, no it wasn’t. If you’ll recall the last flotilla had none. The IDF did a video walk through of the boats with the “humanitarian aid” which appeared to have consisted of drugs and condoms, though I suspect those were for personal use.
And this is where I get to the hypocrisy. On YouTube I can find tons of videos of the activists claiming abuses. I can find a few of the Bilboa airport, none of the arrests in Austria. I can find tons of outrage for Ben-Gvir and none for the criminals breaking the law. No outrage for polluting the waters they’re sailing in. It’s hard to find a source for the two men accused of sexual misconduct by three people. Some of these things you have to already be aware of. Only in the following video do you get to see the clips of these agitators and their “medical miracles”. One agitator admits, it’s not about aid, it’s about confronting Israel. The amount of lies out of these knuckleheads is astonishing. It’s like they have no true concept of reality, the accusations the make are obviously not true.
But here is a video that has medical miracles, and some good video footage.
But if it’s really about humanity, if it’s really about human dignity, where were all these loud strident voices after October 7th when people broke into Israel to commit their atrocities. Israel didn’t break into Gaza. Yet these fools complain about their treatment as though they had just been minding their own business celebrating Simchat Torah when the IDF rounded them up. No, they were breaking the law, and they were warned.
So, I have solutions. Next flotilla? Every activist gets a jail sentence, they can work on some program to reduce the time, maybe. If they don’t work, then it doesn’t count. Second option, they are all turned loose in Gaza dressed just as they came. No cellphones and Israel will give them a pick up point for a week later. For a whole week they can help the denizens of Gaza. They can’t live stream about it, but that will make their work all the more from the heart. If after a week they want to stay in Gaza, peachy. Israel leaves them. All the boats are seized and auctioned off to pay for having to feed and house the activists and clean up the waters they polluted. They get one hour of internet once a week and no cellphones and no streaming podcasts from prison. They’re in jail, it’s not suppose to be fun. And when it’s not fun and no clicks they won’t want to do it any longer. To me there is just a wealth of hypocrisy in this whole thing. Hopefully the Israeli government will consider my helpful suggestions. I know, it’s shocking I haven’t been hired.
Well, in the wake of the third or fourth or possibly fifth assassination attempt on President Trump, I think almost everyone would agree our country is vastly different than it was when President Reagan was shot.
I see this Chinese finger puzzle as being made up with different strands woven together that form a trap that is very difficult to get off unless you know the trick.
A Chinese finger trap puzzle
I see the current climate in America as having different strands that are entrapping U.S. and they exert their pull in different places, but work together to keep the fingers locked in the trap.
Attitudes
The first component to this is the left’s, communists, Islamists attitude towards political violence.
I’ve seen some pretty interesting polls. I guess there won’t be anything really shocking, but how you view them will say as much about the reader as it does the poll. I asked Brave about the attitude of those on the left towards political violence.
Opinions on political violence
I’ve found all kinds of interesting tidbits as I’ve prowled the internet. First little tidbit is how some of these categories are viewed. For instance at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, they choose to lump right wing violence in with Jihadi violence. Huh.
Our analysis of terrorism trends in the United States shows that, indeed, left-wing violence has risen in the last 10 years, particularly since President Donald Trump’s rise to political prominence in 2016, although it has risen from very low levels and remains much lower than historical levels of violence carried out by right-wing and jihadist attackers. More contentious politics in the United States and the expansion of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement appear to have reenergized violent left-wing extremists. The left-wing movement as a whole has not returned to its violent heights of the 1960s and 1970s, but the number of terrorist incidents involving left-wing extremists so far this year puts 2025 on pace to be the left’s most violent year in more than three decades. Moreover, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right.
According to an April 2025 poll conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, 56% of self-identified left-of-center respondents said murdering Trump would be at least “somewhat justified,” with 14.1% calling it “completely justified.”
Liz is horrified by these numbers.
“Fifty-six percent of people on the left — that’s not just the mainstream media and the loudest influencers on X and YouTube, the freaks of the Democratic Party and Congress. This is over half of Democrats,” she says. “That means if you walk up to someone on a street, you meet a neighbor, a co-worker, and you find out that they voted for Kamala Harris or that they lean left, they are more likely than not going to justify a potential assassination of Donald Trump.”
Political violence targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming increasingly normalized.
Following the July 13, 2024 attempted assassination of President Trump, tolerance – and even advocacy – for political violence appears to have surged, especially among politically left-leaning segments of the population. This pattern builds on a broader trend NCRI identified in two December 2024 reports which analyzed how viral social media narratives were legitimizing political violence, particularly in the aftermath of the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s assassination.
1 The reports found widespread justification for lethal violence – including assassination – among younger, highly online, and ideologically left-aligned users. A spillover effect into offline domains is already occurring, as illustrated by a ballot measure recently submitted in California that is macabrely named “the Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act.”
Around 1 in 3 younger adults (GenZ and Millennials) expressed support for political violence.
Support for political violence was highest among those identifying as politically “very liberal.”
Liberal GenZ women were more supportive of political violence than were GenX and Baby Boomer men.
Americans with the highest level of educational attainment (graduate or professional degree) were about twice as likely to support political violence than those with less formal education.
Over half of Black GenZ adults agreed that “Violence is often necessary to create social change.”
That would be Cori Bush the corrupt BLM activist who broke into the gated neighborhood of the McCloskeys and of course she was then elected to office, because, St. Louis. Hasan Piker is the champagne communist nephew of Chunk Uyger who espouses violence toward the right, said America deserved 9/11 and that he has not one patriotic feeling towards America, recently back from his champagne tour of Cuba with Code Pink where he declared Cuba a paradise. If that doesn’t do it for you, he shocked his dog with a zapper on his livestream…
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker warns ‘American empire’ will inevitably fall, likely in violent fashion
Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker declared the American empire is “fading fast” and will “inevitably fall,” when addressing Yale University’s Political Union on Tuesday.
Empires “rarely die quietly,” Piker told Yale students, adding, “They go out over the course of sometimes centuries, but in America’s case, probably a lot shorter, with increasing amounts of violence.”
Piker came out in support of a resolution “End the American Empire” during the speech at Yale that irked conservatives before it began.
What modern demoncrat, minus John Fetterman, wouldn’t want to have a streamer that campaigns for the downfall of America go on the stage with them? Because many many demoncrats are having him come campaign and appear with them.
So now you have a profile of who and what their attitude is towards political violence.
Actions
You can have certain attitudes about something that may predispose you towards certain actions, but that does not mean you’ll carry them out. I’m sure many Americans think slapping duct tape over the the anti-American Eleven-han Omar’s mouth and shipping her back to Somali where her family did so much damage is the correct thing to do. But would we ourselves actually do that? Unlikely.
So the next strand in the finger puzzle to be considered are the actions of the left.
The first I’ve just listed, which group is committing most of the political violence in our country. And unless you lump the religion of pieces in with violence from the right, the answer is the left is doing most of it now.
Who within the left is the most likely to commit acts of violence, the actions that follow the attitudes.
The political motivations of the terrorist killers are divided into the following categories: Islamism; foreign nationalism; right (anti-communism, white supremacy, anti-vaccine, incel beliefs, anti-abortion, pro-Christian, etc.); left (communism, black supremacy, anti-white, animal rights, environmentalism, etc.); separatism of various kinds; and unknown/other. Violent attacks against the police are ideologically categorized based on available evidence, but most are committed by left-wing terrorists. Men with incel (“involuntarily celibate”) beliefs are included in the right ideological motivation category because those beliefs include social misogyny, anti-feminist, anti-women, anti–out-group, and pro-hierarchy.9 There are only a few incel killers, so readers who disagree with this ideological judgment can make the adjustment themselves and see that it barely affects the ideological distribution of the killers.
Most of the terrorists in the unknown/other category have an “other” ideology, such as Thomas Jacob Sanford, who murdered four people in a 2025 attack on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan. His premeditated attack was motivated by his anti-Mormon beliefs. Thomas Matthew Crooks’ motivation in shooting Trump on July 13, 2024, remains a mystery because he left behind no writing indicating a motive.10 However, his target was so political that the odds are that the assassination attempt was politically motivated. There are only a handful of killers in this dataset with “unknown” motivations that almost certainly were political; these are the exceptions that violate the general rule of judging entirely the motivations of killers based on their writings rather than the target.
Despite having security present, Daviscourt, a reporter for The Post Millennial and Human Events, was forced to abandon her work as black-bloc extremists swarmed her in what she described as a coordinated “direct action” organized by the domestic terrorist group Antifa.
Daviscourt livestreamed the attack and posted a clip to X shortly after it happened.
This is an excellent short video clip from Tim Poole on political violence. He did some excellent research. Well worth listening to. This will also mention the incidents that some of these groups count as right wing violence. Tim makes a good case the violence has been left wing for a long time.
But Schmitt turned the spotlight where it belongs: on the hypocrisy of the left’s endless smears against conservatives as “extremists,” “MAGA Republicans,” “fascists,” and “Nazis” while ignoring their own violent foot soldiers.
Schmitt came loaded with receipts and shredded the Democrats’ favorite gaslighting tactic that both sides are equally guilty of political violence.
When you consider the accepting attitudes of the left towards political violence, and the actions they are willing to take to advance their cause I think it makes some things quite clear. A couple of these stories, Katie Daviscourt and Savannah Craven are concerning just every day people. Katie is a reporter, but not a political figure really, Savannah was just there with a table with TPUSA literature, and this wasn’t her first bad experience with some of the left who have physically assaulted her in the past and left her bloodied. Does anyone really believe deranged anti-NICE activists Renee Good and Pretti were just “scared” or her car slid on the ice? No, they are deliberate actions by leftists that are lauded by their side. The left views it as a win either way. A NICE agent (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) gets run over, again, or Renee gets shot and they use it as fodder to attack NICE. But Renee was under the impression it’s fine to attack law enforcement with no consequences. Happened in the Floyd riots, and with Walz as governor and Frey as mayor she was used to hobbled law enforcement. But if she was willing to run over an armed agent, why wouldn’t she be willing to attack a reporter or a young student at a TPUSA table, smiling as she did it?
So if you look at the manifesto of Cole Thomas Allen, he lists several accusations of truly horrific things. Where did he get such notions? That brings us to the spread of the lies and hatred.
The media and “influencers”.
So there are a few different parts to this threat to the unity of country, and basically to our country. Certainly the media and influencers are a strand that is creating a lot of the pull.
“In the hours that followed the dinner, which was postponed, a clear picture emerged. This man, a school teacher with a PhD from CalTech, had been marinated in standard-issue Left-wing talking points,” Jennings said, “things you hear every day on cable news and on the Left’s social media websites. He also attended a ‘No Kings’ rally, apparently, where people routinely hold signs and call for Trump’s death.”
“‘Trump is Hitler,’ ‘Trump is a fascist,’ ‘Trump is a racist,’ ‘Trump is a threat to democracy,’ ‘Trump is a pedophile.’ That is what Cole Allen was marinating in on a regular basis, and he was programmed by people like Congressman Ted Lieu,” Jennings noted.
In 2024, The Duke Chronicle wrote: “In the Harvard Crimson’s spring 2023 faculty survey, 31.8% of respondents drawn from Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences identified as ‘very liberal,’ while 45.3% of respondents identified as ‘liberal.’ Fewer than 3% of respondents identified as ‘conservative’ (2.5%) or ‘very conservative’ (0.4%).”
Looking at the response to the third assassination attempt on Trump, I’m even more convinced the Left is deranged. Many are saying the attempt was staged. Others are saying Trump’s rhetoric started it. We need to start realizing that Democrats want us dead. The only reason we will win this long-term battle is that we are armed. We must never give up our right to bear arms, because that’s exactly what the Left wants next. We are getting uncomfortably close to how the Spanish Civil War was started. That war was started because the communists started losing their power. We need to realize what time it is and the threats that we face. The only reason why the Left calls Trump “Hitler” and Republicans fascists is to give others permission to take him and us out.
Christian conservative commentator Charlie Kirk built his career visiting college campuses and engaging in open debate with anyone who disagreed with him. The media portrayed him as a racist and homophobe, and as with Trump, many on the left posted calls for his death online. When he was killed, the celebrations were widespread. Those who justified his murder repeatedly cited media fabrications about what Kirk believed and what he had said.
The documented record shows that media coverage and social media amplification produced outright fabrications, decontextualized clips, and false attributions, some circulating the day he was murdered and used to justify his killing.
And this is a big part, the media, especially the mainstream media, just flat out lie about people they don’t agree with. They lie and accuse them of being basically the opposite of who they really are. Charlie nor President Trump are racist. Neither are homophobic, nor pedophiles. But the poor deluded people that listen only to the mainstream media, or those on the left, but I repeat myself, believe them! Just like the terrorist school teacher Cole Allen apparently really believed those things.
The April 25, 2026 attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was the fifth documented attempt against President Donald Trump in less than a decade. The first, largely forgotten by the media, came in 2016, when Michael Steven Sandford attempted to seize an officer’s weapon at a Trump rally in Las Vegas.
….
The media enabled violence against both men through sustained false framing. Trump was portrayed for years as a Russian asset and a threat to democracy. Using out-of-context quotes and selective framing, the media painted Kirk as a racist and a homophobe. Some on the left called for the deaths of both men and celebrated when Kirk was killed.
So, how can the media and these “influencers” just flat out lie about politicians are regular people? How can they just say “they saw it in a dream” or make up these things without batting an eye? Moral rot. And if anything has put the moral rot on full display, in addition to the lies about President Trump and conservatives, be they in some group or just people, it’s the attacks on Ericka Kirk that started shortly after her husband was so very publicly murdered in front of the nation. They were started just as conversations began about accountability for things said that were untrue about Charlie. A corrupt, greedy, morally depraved lying grifter who was jealous of Ericka because Charlie chose Ericka and not her. I will just say, I’m glad Ericka and the kids don’t have a pet rabbit….
Jennifer Welch — or as I like to call her, “Jennifer Miserable Wench” — took to her “I’ve Had It” podcast this week to unload on Erika Kirk for the unforgivable sin of looking at a camera.
The widow of assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had the audacity to film a segment for her late husband’s show. She wore black. She looked serious. She spoke about the future of the conservative movement. For this abhorrent crime, Welch dressed up like a discount Matrix extra, mocked the outfit as “cosplaying as an assassin,” and declared Erika “the racist fascist about whom I am talking.”
She used the word “whom!” Brilliant commentary. Except it’s not. It’s performative art for the clinically miserable.
It should go without saying, but this is pretty despicable. Erika Kirk has two small children and no husband. Before Charlie was gunned down in cold blood at a college event last September, most of the world had no idea who she was. After his death, she became the Left’s universal grievance vacuum. The same online ghouls who cheered that assassination are now using Erika as their personal punching bag, drowning her in the same hatred that ultimately killed the love of her life.
Honestly, I think people like President Trump, or other conservatives should consider suing the media or comedians when they make claims of pedophile or racist and let them explain in court what evidence they have to have made such a slanderous statement. The fact it hasn’t happened yet tells me there is probably a good reason. But I would like to see it. I don’t know if it would change the minds of any of the evil minions on the left to hear they’ve been lied to, but at least it might make some of the manure spreaders think a couple of times before making such statements.
Failing sources of morality and guidance.
The last strand I will mention is the lack or failure of what would have been places of good moral guidance in the past that today either provide none, or it is completely perverted.
Moments before he allegedly targeted members of the Trump administration at the White House correspondents’ dinner Saturday, the suspected gunman wrote to family members and suggested his violence was an act of faith to defend the oppressed.
In a message sent to family members minutes before attempting to breach the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, suspect Cole Tomas Allen thanked his church family and invoked Christian theological traditions to justify the violence that was about to occur.
“Hello everybody,” the message began. Over more than 1,000 words, Allen wove together apologies to loved ones, political grievances, and religious reasoning. He cited Scripture throughout and argued that Christians have a moral obligation to resist unjust authority through force.
So, I suppose if you really believe all the things you’ve been told in your church, or the mainstream media, or corrupt podcasters, you would think you are saving the world by killing a president. In other words, the terrorist believed he was on the side of god and the angels. Huh.
The terrorist teacher, Cole Allen was teaching in California, which with all the DEI and such isn’t a high bar, obviously. But just think what he might have been teaching his students! And he is far from the only one! LibsOfTikTok often puts out videos of teachers and nurses that they’ve posted to their own accounts lamenting that President Trump wasn’t killed or celebrating that Charlie Kirk was. They are influencing their students. Think Cole Allen was the only deranged teacher out there? You saw the AMAC article…Let’s look at just Chicago on May day, the communist celebration day apparently. In just Chicago, where a huge amount of students can not preform to grade level in math, reading or science. What do the “teachers” in Chicago think is the most important thing for their students?
The semi-insane plans of the socialist-friendly 30,000-strong Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) to do all of the above this May Day drew national attention early last month. The controversy largely faded from national discussion, however, when Chicago Public Schools (CPS) refused to suspend classes for political rallies on May Day. In truth, however, after tough negotiations, the teachers’ union has won. Technically, classes will be held on May 1. But the agreement struck by the CTU and CPS requires CPS to provide food and transportation for students from at least 100 schools to attend anti-Trump rallies on May 1. Many thousands of students are expected. What’s more, future May Days are to be set aside for “teacher professional development” — meaning classes will be out, and teachers will be able to lead students in leftist political demonstrations, as CTU plans to do.
Dueling press releases by the CTU and CPS have obscured the truth and tamped down the public response. But the fact is that a socialist-friendly teachers’ union has managed to set aside May Day and its run-up for years to come for the partisan political indoctrination of students.
Who the heck is responsible for hiring and do they not have a code of ethics??? Think what these kids are going to be like when they graduate! Can’t read or write, but they can chant and hate. What a poor investment of tax dollars!
So going forward, where might this lead?
I usually agree with many of the things Nick Freitas says, and not too long after the 5th attempt on President Trump, he put this video out. It’s not totally depressing.
Suggestions
So, I feel like I should at least offer a couple of helpful suggestions. These concern the ongoing failures of the secret service. How alert do these agents appear to be? Even the terrorist teacher talked about how lax security was when he scoped it out.
This is a much cleaner video than I first saw of the domestic terrorist school teacher Cole Allen rushing past the secret service.
The ONLY agent that really picked up on the threat has four legs, and he/she, knew there was something hinkey about Allen. I’m not really sure which sex the dog is, and if I knew the dogs name I’d give it credit. And no one has mentioned it yet that I’ve seen. The handler should have listened.
Perhaps we do need more canine agents, dogs bring a level on knowledge humans can’t. Their sense of smell and sight will top ours every time. They also have a different kind of instinct. But the handlers have to trust their partner.
And my final helpful tip, after watching the terrorist teacher Cole Allen sprint past the Secret Service and Met Police agents, perhaps we could have principal Kirk Moore from OK train some Secret Service agents and the police?
So can we get out of the Chinese finger trap? It’s a puzzle for sure. But when they say they want to kill us, believe them. Their attitude is that it’s the right thing, their actions show they’re willing and they have plenty of people egging them on and a failure of a moral compass. I don’t believe it’s idle threats now.
I’ve was a long time fan of Chuck Norris, starting probably in the late 1970s, yes I’m that old. His passing on 19 March of this year has been sad for me in a way. It’s losing another person that I had looked up to for a long time. And it wasn’t without good reason. Not only did Chuck play strong, moral, very competent men in his shows, be they movie or TV, he was always pro-America. And yes, he was handsome. According to one interview I saw he was very aware of his image and refused to take any roles that would cast him in a bad light. He had been a role model for hundreds, maybe thousands of martial arts students long before he became a big actor. He didn’t want to take roles that showed him using drugs, stealing or doing anything immoral or dishonest. He wanted to be a role model that showed doing good was the “cool” thing to be and to do. Andrew Breitbart was 100% spot on when he said “Politics is downstream from culture”. I would maintain we need Chuck more now than ever.
Chuck was evidence that even coming from very humble beginnings if you are willing to work hard you can make something wonderful of yourself. He grew up with his two brothers Wieland and Aaron, and at 14 Chuck was rushing home from school to help his Mom. He babysat his two brothers while she worked, often the night shift, as a waitress. I recently re-read his autobiography, The Secret of My Inner Strength. But I guess I should say good luck finding it. It is a very inspiring book, and I’m actually shocked it’s not available as an e-book. He comes across as a very honest, humble down to earth man. He’s honest about mistakes, and lessons learned from them. I don’t believe that is something you see from many/any in Hollywood these days.
But he didn’t just make kick-butt movies and TV shows, literally. He was a kick-butt guy in real life. He and his second wife Gena started Kickstart Kids to help at risk kids. I’ve seen some YouTubes where officials are talking about the statistics and the difference that Kickstart Kids has made. How much higher the kids score in class, how they stay in school, are never involved in trouble. He and Gena were making a difference in the future of our country by helping bring up young people of value and character. I’m sure Gena will carry on. The few clips that have come out since Chuck’s passing seem to indicate she is pretty committed to carrying on his legacy and wishes. Honestly my heart breaks for her. They seem to have been a very happy couple and family life seems to have been one of his highest priorities as well as his relationship with G-d, and being a good Christian.
And Chuck was very aware of the youth in our country. He was sort of Charlie Kirk before Charlie Kirk, Youth Vote Is Key to 2016 and Saving America. This was written in January of 2015.
At the same time, there is still a high level of social and political mistrust among millennials. Therefore, I believe, for the next two years, we the people have a unique ability to help change our country by reaching out to young people in our own lives and our circles of influence. We shouldn’t wait for our political party or presidential candidate to lead the way in reaching young voters. At the very least, as parents and grandparents, we need to be the primary models, mentors and motivators in the lives of youths and not leave those roles to other educators or influencers.
As trusted loved ones and friends, we need to educate, inspire and challenge millennials to fight for what’s right in America, not merely what may be generationally favored, socially expedient or of personal interest. We must remind them of the importance of our republic’s history and legacy and that it’s all of our duty to set aside self and uphold the founding tenets of our country — to fight to preserve what has been handed to us. If we lay the groundwork in young people’s lives, they will be more apt to align themselves with a candidate who does the same, even if he or she runs on a platform that’s a bit contrary to their generational preferences or agenda.
And in February of 2015 he was bringing awareness to The Defend Freedom Tour speaking up for our Veterans and the scandals of the VA at the time, he was correct, our Veterans deserve better. His Missing in Action films were dedicated to his brother Wieland who was killed in Viet Nam.
Norris was a veteran, having served in the United States Air Force as an Air Policeman from 1958 to 1962. His younger brother, Wieland Clyde Norris, a private in the 101st Airborne Division, was killed in June 1970 in Vietnam during the defense of Firebase Ripcord. Norris dedicated the Missing in Action films to his younger brother and was a consistent supporter of POW/MIA causes. He also served as a spokesperson for the Veterans Administration National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans.
Norris led USO tours, visiting troops in Iraq and beyond. He was made an honorary Marine, though the U.S. Marine Corps later joked about it in a tweet, saying it was the other way around: “Chuck Norris didn’t join the Marine Corps; the Marine Corps applied to him.”
He set a personal goal of meeting every Marine deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, shaking each one’s hand. By his own account, Norris shook hands with 37,000 U.S. troops in 2006 alone. He also visited the Task Force 399th Combat Support Hospital at Al Asad Air Base in 2007, signing autographs for wounded Marines.
Troops renamed military vehicles “Truck Norris,” and his image appeared throughout the country. Norris himself wrote about arriving in Iraq to find troops holding a sign reading, “Chuck Norris is here. We can now go home.”
To most Americans, Norris was a martial artist and action hero. To generations of service members, he also became the centerpiece of a strange, durable mythology. The Chuck Norris jokes — absurd, hyperbolic, endlessly recycled — turned into more than throwaway lines. They became part of the emotional vocabulary of military life.
My combat deployment was no exception. Chuck Norris jokes covered bathroom walls, T-barriers, and whiteboards. They showed up during rocket attacks, after sniper fire, and in the lulls between incoming mortar fire. In a world built on danger and uncertainty, those ridiculous one-liners delivered something surprisingly useful: familiarity, laughter, and a brief reminder of invincibility.
“I used to be a Democrat, but unfortunately the Democrats went too far to the left… and lost all reality of what America stood for.”
“And so, I realized that Republicans… are more focused on what is best for America,” Norris continued.
Norris went on to explain that the parties essentially switched places over time.
“What the Democrats believed forty years ago, the Republicans believe today… The Democrats just got too far off the trail. They just got completely [off] and lost all reality of what America stood for,” he said.
He was very politically savvy, and he used his platform to try to raise awareness of issues penning a two part column My Top 10 Resolutions for the New Congress (Part 1) and My Top 10 Resolutions for the New Congress (Part 2) written in January of 2015. He covered topics like repealing Obamacare, fiscal debt, the 10th Amendment, fiscal sanity and fair tax. And as I read through it everything he wrote still applies today.
In addition to urging people to engage the youth, and help them realize their vote shapes their future, he and his wife Gena urged the faith community to become more engaged. Especially in voting, telling them sitting out elections leads to disastrous consequences.
“We are here to talk about a growing concern we all share,” Chuck Norris explains. “If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack. We’re at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don’t change the course in which our country is headed.”
Gena warns that voter apathy among evangelicals in 2008 may have contributed to Obama’s election in the first place.
“With our country at a crossroads, Chuck and I have asked ourselves what we can be doing to help support this great country we’re blessed to live in and how we can encourage our like-minded American brothers and sisters to unite and let their voices be heard,” she said. “It is estimated that in the 2008 election, 30 million evangelical Christians stayed home on voting day and Obama won the election by 10 million votes.”
Chuck cautions Christians about the cost of doing nothing while the nation spirals into a state of socialism from which there will be no return.
And today we have podcasters and influencers, some of which President Trump recently labeled as “Low IQ” urging people to sit out the mid-terms, vote Demoncrat or stating the Republican party needs to be burned down. When you look at what Demoncrats are offering explain to me how they can consider that America first? Not only are they deranged, they’re insane. How is that even remotely good for our country. Are Republicans perfect? Oh heck no, but are they better? Yes. And you get to pick between the two. So.
The final Chuck topic I will bring up, probably, is illegal immigration. This man was a martial artist, and part of their success is being able to read their opponent, to see how if they make this move then it could be countered by this move or by doing that. You look down the road at how things can be extrapolated. This video clip was posted seventeen years ago, seventeen years!
Not only was he worried about illegal invaders, he was very worried about terrorism. Invasion USA was made in 1985 and involved a large number of terrorists dressing as people you’d normally trust, police, fire, medical or military and committing acts of terrorism. And then there were other that just went into neighborhoods and destroyed them. Either way, the social fabric of America was being destroyed because the trust in the structure of government was gone. All of that was synchronized across places in America. Again, made in 1985, but we’d never have that many terrorists in America to pull that off, right? Actually it didn’t look like all that many came in, some were sleeper cells that were already here. While the ending may have been slightly improbable, it was still great.
Which brings me to the last Chuck Norris movie I want to discuss. The Delta Force, it was filmed in 1986, partly in Israel and with the help of the Israeli government. They loaned them a plane. Chuck was very pro-Israel. I wonder if such a movie could ever be made today. The Jews aren’t the villains, the muslim terrorists are, and they were in the movie. The events, circumstance as players in that movie are still the same today. Lebanon still can’t free itself from Hezbollah, the formerly majority Christian country is now another Islamic occupied territory with a shrinking Christian population although right now Israel is giving them some hope. As the Hezbollah terrorists flee north, some of the Christian communities are fighting them as they try to take cover in their communities. They don’t want them. Hezbollah has been operating in Lebanon under the noses of the useless UN for years now. There is a line in The Delta Force when Joey Bishop talked about having been in Lebanon years ago and how beautiful it was. Islam destroys everything. My Anatolian Shepherd Shimshon and I have been binge re-watching Chuck Norris movies, his favorite is of course, Top Dog. But when we watched Delta Force this time, it had a far more powerful impact on me than when I saw it the first time. This time when the separated the Jewish men from their families it just tore me up. There were several parts of that movie that seemed harder this time. But nothing has changed, Islamic terrorists take hostages, Iran is a threat, it’s proxies are a threat and American weakness invites more of the same. The thought that a group of people that have occupied a country, terrorized it’s citizens and committed acts of terrorism against U.S. for 47 years and thinks they will bring on their messiah by plunging the world into chaos and covering it with blood and think when they are killed as a martyr they go to heaven and get 72 virgin goats are not going to be inclined to want a peace treaty. Now a ceasefire, sure. Re-arm, re-group, re-calibrate, re-supply, reload and resume. It’s the muslim terrorist way. For 47 years they’ve been chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”. But the left and the woke reich would have you believe they don’t mean it, they can’t do it, they wouldn’t do it. They do, and they’ve been doing it. Chuck was sounding the alarm on Islam.
Of course, many Americans watch on video a Middle Eastern woman allegedly caught in adultery, buried in the ground up to her head and being stoned to death, and think, “That could never happen in America.” But they fail to see how Shariah law has already been enabled and subtly invoked in our country, and that any such induction like it is brought about by understated lukewarm changes, like a frog boiled in a kettle by a slow simmer.
I’ll say what I said at the outset of the last column: It is no mystery that radical Islamists intend to use the freedoms in our Constitution to expand the influence of Shariah law. But, still, too many Americans don’t know or understand how it threatens the very fabrics of our republic.
This is something Dr. Gad Saad often references. It’s not a secret, the muslims talk about the methods they will use to conquer the west. And those columns were written fifteen years ago. The reception of the columns at the time seems to have been derision. Because the left has to actually be thrown off the building themselves before they just even become willing to look at the truth. However much you despise the left wing media who don’t even attempt to hide their bias at the point, you don’t hate them enough. Note the difference in how the death of Rob Reiner openly hard core leftist was covered vs how the death of Chuck Norris, openly patriotic and conservative was covered.
I see the Muslims are running the same play as they did in Jerusalem in 637 AD!
….
Leftist activists want social studies classes to talk more about Islam’s longstanding impact on Texas history
Outside of the Islamic invasions that destroyed the Byzantine Empire and forced Europeans to sail West, there was no impact that Islam had on Texas’ founding.
But now they are claiming the Alamo is Muslim, actually.
I notice they didn’t try that nonsense until after Chuck had been gone for about a month.
Ok, I changed my mind, one last Chuck Norris movie story. When Firewalker came out, I wanted to go see it and I wanted my Dad to go with me. He’d never seen a Chuck Norris movie, and I just felt he might really like them. Firewalker was definitely on the lighter side. So he finally gave in, we went, and another Chuck Norris fan was born.
Perhaps one of the most iconic fight scenes, and a fabulous friendship, Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtoVjRq0YIs
Rest in peace Chuck, you earned it. A man that modeled decency, honesty, goodness, faith, family, self-reliance and being prepared to defend yourself however you need. Perhaps he inspired people to seek G-d, to ask for knowledge and wisdom. To find courage to do the right thing, just because it’s the right thing. Even if it make you a lone wolf.
I was a blessed girl when I was younger, my parents, especially my Dad read to me when I was young. One of the major benefits of being the first born, of an evening when Dad got home he would read to me. All kinds of books, all kinds of subjects. For whatever reason, one particular book has been nagging at me for a week or so.
I suspect this may have to do with the ongoing conflict with Iran, which we never ever had a problem with until Donald Trump started one…Ok, that’s pure sarcasm. Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present) with the present being June of last year. It’s pretty extensive.
Iran’s leadership has become and endangered species thanks to Israel, their fabulous intelligence agency The Mossad, and the American and Israeli air force efforts, and brave Iranians who are passing on intel when they can. So, the Islamic regime is throwing a temper tantrum as they fight for their survival. To this effort, they’ve done something they’ve never ever done before, they’ve brought access to the Strait of Hormuz into the equation. Nope, they’ve never done that.
The 2011–12 Strait of Hormuz dispute was a dispute between a coalition of countries and Iran. The dispute arose on 27 December 2011, when Iranian Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz.[3] In late April 2019, Iran warned that it would block maritime traffic through the strategic waterway if it were barred from using it, amid escalating U.S. sanctions.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani this month declared that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if the US blocked Tehran’s export of oil.
“If someday, the United States decides to block Iran’s oil [exports], no oil will be exported from the Persian Gulf,” Iranian state television quoted him saying.
Tehran has made similar declarations about closing the narrow Strait of Hormuz – where one-fifth of the world’s oil supply today transits through from the Gulf into the Indian Ocean – over the past 40 years, whenever it has felt threatened.
Fears of the strait being blocked go back even further than that.
“TEHRAN (Reuters) – A member of the Iranian parliament’s National Security Committee said on Monday that the military was set to practice its ability to close the Gulf to shipping at the narrow Strait of Hormuz, the most important oil transit channel in the world, but there was no official confirmation.
The legislator, Parviz Sarvari, told the student news agency ISNA: “Soon we will hold a military maneuver on how to close the Strait of Hormuz. If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure.”
Two tankers were hit by torpedoes in the Strait of Hormux on Thursday morning. The crew members were rescued and taken to safety.
A Norwegian and a Japanese tanker were hit by torpedoes.
Despite the attacks the Dow Market was up 50 points when the market opened at 8:30 AM.
Oil prices only spiked 3.3% or by nearly two points. This is due to the abundance of oil here at home thanks to energy policy of President Donald J. Trump.
Well, I’ll stop, you get the idea. The Islamic regime occupying Iran right now has a long history of using the threat of closing the Strait of Hormuz. This isn’t new, and it isn’t because of Trump and or Netanyahu. It’s because they are Islamic terrorists and that’s how they roll.
So President Trump has been trying to get the Strait back open for the safe shipping of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
Probably because America gets the majority of their energy from there, right?
Um.
Oil flow by country
Maybe not so much.
In fact it appears that other counties should have a much bigger motivation to make sure the Strait is open and safe, including the exporters.
So President gently suggested to our NATO allies they might want to do something useful towards helping secure the strait from the deranged Islamic terrorists, as they have been for many years now.
The United States contributes to NATO’s common-funded budgets and programs through direct and indirect contributions. NATO has a governance structure that allows allies to collectively decide what is eligible for common funding and how much can be spent annually. In 2026, NATO’s annual budget and programs are projected to cost approximately €5.3 billion (£4.6 billion), with a cost-sharing formula in place to cover operational expenses.
NATO guidelines state that member nations are expected to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defense spending. This target was agreed upon by NATO member states in 2006 and again in 2014, with an aim to reach it by 2024. As of 2025, all NATO members are expected to meet or exceed this 2% target.
The United States is the largest financial contributor to NATO, both in terms of total money spent and as a percentage of its GDP. In 2021, the U.S. spent over $811 billion on NATO funding, representing 3.5% of its GDP. By 2023, the U.S. contributed $860 billion, or 3.49% of its GDP, to NATO funding, accounting for 68% of NATO’s total combined defense spending.
So it seems like since the US has been doing all the heavy lifting the NATO “allies” would say yes, we want to help. But that ignores the nature of our “allies”, and I use that term very loosely. Especially when compared to how Israel has been in there kicking butt before we were.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Sunday asked for President Trump’s “understanding” amid his frustrations with allied countries expressing hesitancy to provide support to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“I understand the president’s frustration that it takes some time, but again, I also ask for some understanding, because nations had to prepare for this, not knowing and for good reasons about the initial attack on Iran, but now coming together to make sure that we can be able to secure the Strait of Hormuz,” Rutte told host Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Maybe strongly worded for Euro-Arabians might be a better statement.
In recent days, France and Italy have quietly opened diplomatic contacts with Iran in an attempt to secure safe passage for European commercial vessels through the strategic waterway.
The discussions, first reported by the Financial Times, underscore the growing concern among European governments that prolonged instability in the region could trigger severe economic consequences.
So, according to the oil flow chart, America doesn’t get the majority of their oil from the Strait of Hormuz, there are other countries far more impacted than U.S.
The US, Iran and NATO
I guess if we ever wondered how useful it would be to be a member of NATO if the chips were down, we now know the answer. Should we ever be invaded, ok, more invaded than under the last round of demoncrats we’re on our own. NATO is as useless as the UN. Hey, can anyone tell me the date that the UN issued it’s strong condemnation of Iran for sending cluster warhead missiles into Israel? Because that is a war crime, so I’m sure the UN is all over it, I just missed when they issued that condemnation.
Which brings me to the point of the book Daddy read to me as a little girl. This little video has a big message. No, it’s not long.
I think it’s been apparent for a long time to most people that Tucker Qatarlson and Kooky Candace Owens have continued their descent into mental instability. I’ve said before, Jew hatred rots the brain, but even I’m amazed at how publicly they are willing to display their mad dash from Jew hatred into full on insanity.
I’ve written about this before, but they decided to up the ante. They’ve decided to attack Chabad. For those not familiar with Chabad,
Chabad-Lubavitch is a major movement within mainstream Jewish tradition with its roots in the Chassidic movement of the 18th century. In Czarist and Communist Russia, the leaders of Chabad led the struggle for the survival of Torah Judaism, often facing imprisonment and relentless persecution for their activities. After the Holocaust, under the direction of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchaak Schneerson and his successor, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, Chabad became a worldwide movement, caring for the spiritual and material needs of all Jews, wherever they could be found.
Today, over 3,500 Chabad institutions are located in more than 100 countries, with a new center opening on the average every ten days. In South Africa, South America, Russia, Australia, Asia, the UK, and many parts of the USA, Chabad has become the most dynamic and dominant force within the Jewish community.
Pretty sinister stuff, eh what?
I’ll do Kooky Candy first as she is echoing Tucker’s claims.
Candace on digging tunnels
“Remember they are digging tunnels in New York and in cities all across America. They are taking over entire towns in New Jersey.” She described Chabad as a “radical sect of mystic occultists” and urged followers to be aware of Chabad centers near them.
But Kooky Candy is willing to accuse any Jew of anything. No proof needed, she just makes stuff up and says tune in to her next episode and she’ll bring receipts. She just doesn’t tell you they’re from her last trip to McDonald’s.
“Calculated evil”: Candace Owens joins Tucker Carlson in a “clown-level” attack on Chabad-Lubavitch, peddling victimhood fantasies and “conspiratorial nonsense.”
Ok, this one actually makes me chuckle, I mean Israel is taking out Ayatollahs by the dozen before breakfast. Leaders of the IRGC are walking around disguised as women, and really with the Burkas Iran forces the women to wear it’s probably hard to tell except some of them are really really tall. Last year during and after Midnight Hammer Iranian nuclear scientists were dropping like houseflies. The Basij are now riding their motorcycles around Iran wearing jackets of construction workers, police stations, IRGC buildings and specific apartments in an apartment building are being taken out. And they can’t find Candace at Dollywood? She accuses Israel of killing a President of the US, John F. Kennedy and yet she has no fear of making such an outrageous accusation? She must think her followers are exceedingly stupid, or blind, as she is not the least bit worried about Israel targeting her.
Responding furiously to Owens’ claims, Chabad spokesman Yaacov Behrman said she had displayed “utter ignorance in her idiotic, ad hominem attack” against Rabbi Schneerson.
“Israel Shahak was a discredited, self-loathing Jew – and the fact that she quotes him as if he’s some respected authority suggests that she has waded into waters that are far too deep for her,” he said.
I’m pretty sure the puddle behind my car is waters far deep for her to wade in as she lacks discernment as to where to search for information on a topic.
By going after Schneerson, Owens prompted a response from Chabad itself. The movement and its emissaries chiefly sought to dispel her claim that Schneerson thought Jews were superior to non-Jews.
“The Rebbe saw the importance of each individual, no matter how ordinary they might seem,” Chabad’s official X account wrote as part of a long thread on his life. “His door was open to all. The Rebbe dedicated hours daily to personally responding to letters from people worldwide.”
And as a devout Catholic, apparently Kooky Candy considers this sort of behavior, her duty. Except apparently some in the Catholic church don’t agree.
Christian tradition has always held that those who speak publicly in the name of the faith bear a grave responsibility for the truth of their words. Speech that spreads false accusations, imputes corruption to entire peoples, or revives historic patterns of hatred does more than inflame political debate — it violates the moral law and damages Christian witness.
In a previous article, I argued that Candace Owens’ public rhetoric has reached a level of grave scandal that calls for ecclesial discipline, up to and including excommunication. This article addresses the substance of that concern.
….
With those principles established, we can now examine the specific patterns that appear in Owens’ public commentary. The purpose of examining these statements is not to condemn a person but to evaluate public rhetoric in light of Catholic moral teaching. Christians are called to judge ideas and words according to the truth, while leaving the ultimate judgment of souls to God.
The concern here is not a single controversial remark but a recurring pattern of rhetoric visible across Owens’ own public posts and broadcasts. Five types of claims appear repeatedly.
The writer then goes on to give examples and explain why they are against Catholic teachings.
But honestly, I’m not sure excommunication would phase her that much. She was denied entry into Jihadi loving Australia due to her Holocaust denial and that hasn’t phased her.
Commentator Tucker Carlson triggered a storm this week after accusing the global Chabad-Lubavitch movement of secretly pushing for the destruction of the Islamic shrines on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and the construction of a Third Jewish Temple. The remarks came as Israel remains locked in a widening confrontation with Iran and its regional proxies. Carlson, who commands a massive online audience, used his program to present the war as part of a Jewish religious agenda, claiming that Chabad has been quietly working to advance plans to remove the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque in order to rebuild the Temple.
….
Chabad, headquartered in Crown Heights in Brooklyn, operates Jewish outreach centers in more than 100 countries and is widely known for its work encouraging Jewish practice. The movement is not a political organization and does not run campaigns related to Israeli military or government policy.
Carlson’s theory relied partly on images of Israeli soldiers wearing patches depicting a Temple. Those images in fact, came from social media posts connected to the Temple Institute, an advocacy group that promotes education about the Temple and preparation for its eventual restoration. The institute has no connection to Chabad.
Despite the lack of evidence, Carlson framed the current war as a “global religious war” allegedly triggered by Jewish ambitions regarding the Temple Mount. He also claimed that Christians die disproportionately in such conflicts, suggesting hidden motives behind Jewish support for Israel.
I don’t really want to give Tucker, the clicks, so if you haven’t seen the video I’ll give you this one with Ollie.
So, a few points. Sorry, but you can’t get the patches from Chabad. You can get them from High on The Har They have way cool patches, tee-shirts and other things. Reasonable prices and come from Israel as well! High on the Har donates them to soldiers, and you can make a donation to help give them to the soldiers. You can get them from The Israel Guys They have patches, baseball caps and the like. Another place you might be able to find them is The Temple Institute’s store. They aren’t shipping right now, but their website is fascinating. I’ve actually been to their store and just thought it was marvelous. But getting your “official Chabad Third Temple patch” is right out, sorry. Although maybe I should suggest it.
Actually, I think in a column well over a year or more ago I wrote about the patches. These columns from Arutz Sheva are from Oct 24 and March of 25. It’s interesting, soldiers that were sent into Gaza talked about the homes they were in searching for terrorists and all the homes had pictures of abomination on the Temple Mount known as The Dome of the Rock.. Muslims doing what muslims do, they build mollusks on top of defeated religious sites, or when possible, they buy a church or synagogue and turn in into a mollusk, they’ve taken over you see? They vanquished the infidel. It’s why they wanted to build an “Islamic Center” on the site of the 9/11 attacks. Who knows, with the muslim shia 12er mayor, it could still happen. The soldiers said they arabs knew what they were fighting for, it isn’t about land, it’s about religion.
Chabad, a sect of Hasidic Judaism known for its global religious outreach and houses on hundreds of college campuses, does not function as a political advocacy organization. Its teachings describe the rebuilding of the Third Temple as part of a future messianic redemption achieved through acts of mitzvot — not a project to be advanced through modern warfare or the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
“To blame it on a Hasidic movement based in Brooklyn that just goes around the world, spreading Judaism, spreading love, spreading kindness, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” Yossi Farro, a member of the Chabad movement known for wrapping tefillin with celebrities, told the Forward in a phone interview. “He’s appealing to people that have never heard of Chabad and now, their first opinion is, this is horrible, these people are warmongers — which is the exact opposite of what we represent.”
….
The rhetoric also follows a series of attacks targeting Chabad celebrations. In December, a gunman opened fire at a Chabad Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The incident left 15 people dead, including a Chabad rabbi, a Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl.
In January, a driver repeatedly rammed his car into an entrance to the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, damaging the building on a night thousands had gathered there to celebrate.
As a result of Carlson’s false claims, the Brooklyn Chabad rabbi has already ramped up security. “Carlson blames Chabad for the Iran war, then Owens posted ‘find out where your local Chabad is’ so the threat level is raised,” he said. “My first responsibility is to keep everyone safe. I had to ask police to be outside this past Shabbos. And now I’m going to have to get video cameras and an armed guard for Shabbos, which costs up to $500 per Shabbos.”
Jewish institutions are on high alert after Tucker Carlson falsely claimed on his podcast Wednesday that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement is behind the war in Iran.
Carlson claimed that Chabad is orchestrating a religious war aimed at destroying the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City so that the Third Temple could be rebuilt in its place.
“This has been going on a long time in public through, in part, the efforts of a group called Chabad. C-H-A-B-A-D,” Carlson said.
And, I would come to the same conclusion as my all time favorite Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy.
Candace & Tucker have goals and dreams
Not that long ago I mentioned in a column one of Candy’s mentally unstable followers was on his way to kill Jewish media personalities.
But this doesn’t just hold threats of physical violence in the immediate future, it has other threats.
From a recent Patrick Bet-David podcast. It will start at the correct section.
It starts out with a bit of Tucker history, but then it leads into where the Tucker threat for the future lies, and it’s not a very distant future, it’s happening now. And it’s the young that are buying it. This is the poll he mentions.
referenced poll
Adam I think is 100% correct, the loss of Charlie has cost our country and our youth much.
I think it’s well worth it to stick through the discussion on JD Vance.
You know, it’s fascinating really. This Third Temple business that seems to terrify Tucker. Since when did the loss of a muslim holy site so upset a C-C#1? Wouldn’t a Christian and Jewish sites be more important to him than a muslim one? And by the way, what’s up with that picture of Fatima next to him?
Now, I may be breaking a code of silence here, but I don’t think I am, I’m going to share with you a few sentences from a top secret book of Jewish mystical beliefs that so terrifies Tucker. I’m warning you, you read this at your own risk!
1 So says the Lord, “Keep justice and practice righteousness, for My salvation is near to come, and My benevolence to be revealed.”
2 Fortunate is the man who will do this and the person who will hold fast to it, he who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it and guards his hand from doing any evil.
3 Now let not the foreigner who joined the Lord, say, “The Lord will surely separate me from His people,” and let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For so says the Lord to the eunuchs who will keep My Sabbaths and will choose what I desire and hold fast to My covenant,
5″ I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.
6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.
7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.
9 All the beasts of the field, come to devour all the beasts in the forest.
10 His lookouts are all blind, they do not know, dumb dogs who cannot bark; they lie slumbering, loving to slumber.
11 And the dogs are of greedy disposition, they know not satiety; and they are shepherds who know not to understand; they all turned to their way, each one to his gain, every last one.
12 “Come, I will take wine, and let us guzzle old wine, and tomorrow shall be like this, [but] greater [and] much more.”
You would think as a C-C#1 Tucker would know about this and the Third Temple wouldn’t you? That he too, would long for Moshiach and the Third Temple. But he doesn’t because he is a C-C#2, and by their actions and words they have placed people in danger, so at what point does their hatred become incitement to violence, because I would think that we are there. Self defense is Biblical, absolutely.
