‘Keffiyehs in Buchenwald’? Protest Planned at Nazi Concentration Camp on Liberation Day

RedState   

"Holocaust memorials are not neutral public squares. They mark places where human beings were reduced to numbers, forced into labor, and systematically murdered. The victims commemorated at Buchenwald were not casualties of a modern geopolitical dispute, and memory is not a political prop."

"A planned protest at the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial on the anniversary of its liberation is igniting backlash in Germany for a simple reason: Activists intend to turn a Holocaust commemoration into a contemporary political demonstration.

"According to reports, radical organizations are organizing a demonstration at the site on April 11 under the slogan “Keffiyehs in Buchenwald,” accusing the memorial’s management of “spreading Israeli propaganda” and not being “hostile enough toward Israel.” Among the groups involved are the student wing of Germany’s Left Party, the anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East, and the German Communist Party.

"The date is not incidental. April 11 marks the liberation of the camp in 1945.

"Buchenwald was liberated by U.S. forces in April 1945. About 56,000 prisoners were killed there, including many Jews. Each year, survivors, families, and public officials gather at the former roll call grounds where prisoners once stood for hours in freezing weather. The purpose of that day is remembrance." . . .

Without Victory, There Is No Survival

Ann Coulter 

 "We’ve got our own poor people. Many of them are post-1965 legal immigrants, who thought they were fleeing the third world to come to America, but if we don’t start enforcing our immigration laws, they will have merely fled one third world country to come to another."

"How many times do Americans have to vote for Donald Trump to make the point that they want illegal immigrants deported? They voted for him in 2016, despite sheer hysteria from Democrats, the entire media, and nearly all elected Republicans. They voted for him again in 2024 by an even larger margin, with some misgivings, because he promised a mass deportation force.

"Do we have to make Stephen Miller president so you finally get the point? Is this Groundhog Day? Why do we always have to start at square one on the question of: Should we have a country?

"The open borders crowd has two counter-arguments: Virtue signaling and lying.

"First, the virtue signaling. While never so much as acknowledging the Americans brutalized, raped and murdered by illegal immigrants, the media are awash with humanizing details about “irregular migrants.”

"Apparently, it’s especially heinous for ICE to arrest an undocumented person if he or she is engaged in some “homey” activity, like “taking their dog to the vet,” or “working on their car” or “shopping for ingredients for a stew.” (Personally, I would accept that defense so long as the migrant can prove that the groceries she was purchasing were actually for a stew. Not “a roast beef sandwich,” or some kind of salad, but a bona fide stew.).

"The Trump administration has deported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, but the only ones obsessively focused on by the media are the ones with toddlers. If you’ve ever known one, they cry a lot. Sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad reasons, sometimes for no reason at all. They were probably crying coming into the country. But I guess we’re not allowed to have a country if any illegal alien child cries.

"Another popular argument from the compassion exhibitionists is to inform us—the psychopaths who believe the country’s laws should be enforced—that illegal immigrants are human beings!

California Cities Canceling July 4th Events Because They Care More About Illegals Than America

 The Lid  

"Democrats hate America. And this isn’t just among their lunatic “progressive” leaders. Every Democrat from the top to the last voter hate America and are ashamed of being Americans."

Bad Bunny! Bad! Bad!

"A growing number of cities in anti-American, left-wing, Democrat-infested California are canceling Independence Day. celebrations because they care more for illegal aliens than they do for America.

"Already the cities of Cudahy, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, Boyle Heights, El Sereno, Lincoln Heights, and Northeast Los Angeles have all announced that the Independence Day events are canceled. Many claim they are “rescheduling” them for later in the year.

"So, why are they doing this?

"Because they all want to protect illegal aliens.

"They claim that they are canceling the events because they fear ICE agents will turn out at the events and begin arresting criminal aliens.

"Yes, they care more about illegals than they do celebrating the birth of the United States.

"It can’t be much of a surprise, though. As each year passes, it is becoming clear that one can’t be a patriotic American and a Democrat at the same time.

"That isn’t just hyperbole, either.

"A recent poll found that only a tiny 36 percent of Democrats say they are proud of being an American." 

"Democrats hate America. And this isn’t just among their lunatic “progressive” leaders. Every Democrat from the top to the last voter hate America and are ashamed of being Americans."

Mamdani Is Collapsing Faster Than We Thought

PJ Media  

Broc Smith toon added by TD

"You can’t say we didn’t warn New York what was going to happen if it elected Zohran Mamdani, but I gotta say, I don’t think anyone predicted it would start collapsing so quickly. But, alas, it has. That socialist utopia that Mamdani was supposed to deliver has instead turned into a slow-motion fiscal catastrophe a mere two months in — and even the liberal media is starting to notice.

"Mamdani unveiled a $127 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 this week — a staggering $5 billion increase over the prior year.

"But what's $5 billion between socialists, right?

"To put that into perspective, Mamdani’s proposed budget is actually larger than the budgets of 47 U.S. states, including Florida, which has nearly twice the population. And somehow, it still isn't enough. The city is staring down a $5.4 billion deficit, with the real gap potentially closer to $12 billion when you do the actual math.

"So what was his plan? Tax someone else." . . .More...

Mamdani's Rent Freeze Fiasco Is Squeezing Landlords Dry, While NYC Housing Crumbles – RedState  "There's one utterly reliable thing about socialism: It fails, every time it's tried. It may fail on the national scale, like the Soviet Union, or it may fail on the municipal scale, like New York City is in the throes of doing right now. The "democratic socialist" mayor of the Big Apple, Zohran Mamdani, has never seen a commie policy he didn't like.

"One of those policies is freezing rents in the city. That's already producing predictable results: Landlords are selling out and leaving" . . .

"As far as housing is concerned, the only silver lining is that Mamdani's ability to freeze rents is limited."

Rice and Obama are plotting and planning and saying way too much out loud...

  Revolver News 

"Sometimes politicians accidentally say their innermost thoughts out loud. It is rarely smart. But sometimes it is strategic. It sends a signal to their voters: elect us, and we will crush MAGA.

"Honestly, that kind of message often lands harder than any polished campaign speech ever could.

"A new clip catching fire online features former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice laying out what sounds exactly like that… it’s clearly a threat, a promise, and a warning shot. She’s vowing to take down any corporations or institutions that she thinks “took a knee to Trump.' ” . . .

Susan Rice Threatens Trump Supporters: 'Revenge Is Best Served Cold'

"President Joe Biden’s domestic policy chief is promising revenge against the voters, business executives, and appointees who support President Donald Trump’s 2024 election mandate.

“ 'A very prominent public figure, who has served at nearly the very highest levels, once told me … ‘Revenge is best served cold,’ and the older I get, the more I see the wisdom of that,” Susan Rice said in a February 19 video interview by a fellow Democrat.

"She added:

When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore, is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump.

"The comments reflect the Democrats’ deep personal resentment and anger at voters’ rejection of their elite agendas, and of the voters’ support for Trump’s populist agenda in 2016 and 2o24." . . .More

The Women Who Will Haunt Gavin Newsom’s Presidential Campaign

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"Perhaps the woman in Newsom’s life who should raise the most questions, however, is Newsom’s mother, who was murdered in front of him in an act of illegal euthanasia that he did nothing to stop."

"As Gavin Newsom prepares to announce his presidential bid, likely sometime at the beginning of next year, and is set to release his memoir next week, he is attracting increased press scrutiny into his early political career.

"That invites all sorts of risks for Newsom, as his early history is filled with colorful scandals and controversies. Of course, that’s likely why Newsom is putting his book out now: It will get the media scrutiny out of the way, thereby preventing things from blowing up in his face during his official presidential campaign. (RELATED: Newsom Confesses His Disturbing Role in the Euthanization of His Mother)

"One topic that Newsom really wants to get out of the way is .

"On the one hand, some of his relationships exhibited enormous and inappropriate power imbalances. On the other hand, some of his relationships with celebrities and the elite showcase the extent to which Newsom has lived a charmed life of privilege among the upper class. (RELATED: Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s Feminist Meltdown)

"On Friday, the London Times published an explainer on seven of the women who have engaged in romantic relationships with Newsom. But the paper missed much about how these seven relationships all showcase negative characteristics of the future presidential candidate.

"I’ll give you the real lowdown on all of these love affairs. But really, if you want to know the full extent of how bad Newsom’s womanizing makes him look, you’ll have to check out my book, .

"Kelley Phleger is the woman who tore Newsom’s heart into a million pieces and left him with an inferiority complex that could only be satisfied by seeking the presidency.

" 'If Newsom was Gordon Getty’s pseudo-son, Phleger was Gordon Getty’s . Getty employed her in his mansion as a private nursery school teacher for his grandchildren, but she could more accurately be described as a San Francisco socialite. In Gordon Getty’s eyes, Newsom and Phleger were the match made in heaven who were destined to be together." . . . More...

‘It feels empty’: is Hollywood film and TV production in a death spiral?

  California Political Review 

"The malaise threatens “below-the-line” crew members such as grips, electricians, carpenters, set decorators, sound engineers, costume designers and makeup artists who came to Hollywood because that was where the work was. If that allure fades they could take their talents elsewhere, sending the ecosystem into a death spiral."

"Filming in Los Angeles is at a historic low, with some suggesting the city might go the way of Detroit

"When screenwriter David Scarpa visits the great Hollywood studios these days, he is struck by what is missing. “It used to be you’d walk around those back lots and you’d see many people and they were very busy,” Scarpa muses. “They were like small cities. Now often you’ll walk around and have nobody else there. It feels empty. You definitely feel the absence of life on those lots.”

"Like the once proud industrial factories of the midwest, the dream factories of southern California are in decline. Last year was the worst for on-location filming in Los Angeles since tracking began 30 years ago apart from pandemic-hit 2020. Of all the TV shows and feature films that North American audiences watch, only one-fifth are now made in California.

"This is because Hollywood is facing intense competition for film production from domestic rivals such as Atlanta and New York, and international challengers such as Australia, Britain and Canada, all offering more aggressive financial incentives. California’s politicians stand accused of resting on their laurels too long.

"Donald Trump has a plan but, critics say, it will be no more effective for Hollywood than his notorious tariffs for the rust belt. The US president’s appointment of the actors Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight (combined age 233) as “special ambassadors” to rescue the local industry met with widespread scepticism. Instead campaigners are focused on the hard graft of legislating new tax incentives in California’s state government." . . .

The Sad Life of Jesse Jackson

American Thinker   

To Jesse Jackson, though, nothing was ever solved or improved, because that would mean the end of the money and the beginning of responsibility for one’s own life.  

"When I think of the late Jesse Jackson, I recall my brother Andy’s encounter with him back in the 1984 presidential election.  No one could beat Reagan, and Jackson’s run was just a vanity project for one of the country’s great publicity hounds.

"Jackson wanted to book thirty rooms at a suburban Sheraton hotel my brother was managing in Louisville before the Kentucky primary.  That was the year of the million-dollar presidential primary boondoggles.  John Glenn’s campaign to this day owes record amounts of money to creditors across the country.  Naturally, the hotel’s owner and the Sheraton company were not eager to extend the struggling Jackson campaign credit.

"In the end, though, they did, and Jackson’s people were there a week; ordered room service without hesitation; and then skipped town, never paying any bills.  Small price — what the hotel feared was Jackson’s talent for shaking down corporate America for money and favors by screaming “racism” at the drop of a hat...which he would have done if anyone had complained.

"Jackson’s career doing this began by running Operation Breadbasket in Chicago for Martin Luther King — a job placement project that Jackson turned into essentially a racket: Contribute to my organizations and give favors to my friends and family, or face a massive boycott.  Not surprisingly, Jackson hired a young Al Sharpton to run the Brooklyn branch of Operation Breadbasket and learn the “business.”

"Dr. King’s body was not cold when Jackson and Ralph Abernathy (King’s deputy) began fighting for control of the SCLC.  Jackson was with King in Memphis and is often accused of running to the hotel balcony to grab King’s body to smear blood on his shirt and solidify his status as King’s real successor.  A few years later, Abernathy forced Jackson out of the SCLC under a cloud of financial irregularity, but that only emboldened Jackson, who set up the Rainbow Coalition/PUSH.  He started national boycotts of sensitive consumer product companies — especially Coca-Cola and Anheuser-Busch.  “Bud is a dud,” Jackson rhymed, before the beer giant eventually caved, even handing over the Chicago franchise to his youngest son." . . .

  . . . "Throughout the 1980s and 90s, Jackson also faced scrutiny for what has been described as a shakedown of companies and larger corporations accused of discriminating in their hiring practices and business operations.

"When a company was targeted by Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, it could purchase absolution from his organization in the form of large donations that functioned as a kind of bribe that was then used to fund Jackson’s lavish lifestyle while maintaining his appearance as a selfless civil rights activist."

Mystery swirls around possible 'second suspect' spotted in Nancy Guthrie case

 NY Post  

However, federal authorities have kept open the possibility that more than one person was involved. FBI Director Kash Patel previously said the agency was investigating more than one “person of interest” in the case.

"The masked, armed intruder seen in Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell camera may not have been working alone, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed on Friday.

" 'The sheriff has said all along that while investigators are working to identify the person seen on doorbell video, they are not ruling out that that was the only person involved,” a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

"The response comes after growing speculation that a “second suspect” may have been spotted on camera at Nancy’s house the night she disappeared.

Watch Host Cover Her Mouth as Douglas Murray Describes Chilling Details About Hamas!

 Daniel Schonbuch

"I think those Videos that Hamas filmed on Oct. 7 of the slaughter of Iseralis(sp) Citizens including the butchering of Infants should be mandatory watching for anyone who demonstrates on College Campuses (including the Professors, Administration and the Deans) that support Hamas and Palestinians."

"Douglas Murray really is a man apart and far above what is the norm these days. Resonated with me what he said about the UK in WWII. I'm a fair bit older than him so was surrounded by older people who were active in the war as well as parents and their siblings who grew up in the war, two of whom were in the WAF. Israel has a much more honed i'ndominatable Brit spirit' of those times and turned it into something else and then some, strength of their past and their way of life with roots deeply embedded in Faith. The nearest I ever got to a war type situation was annual visits to Irish relatives in and around Belfast in the 70s including a couple of very near miss situations; everyone just got on with it and, again, there was that sense of humour. It's been a very long time since UK and Europe have had to deal with this kind of situation and boy, does it show."

"I was told of a young Jewish teenager who was taken hostage - raped repeatedly by her captors - then doused in petrol and set alight. Apparently,
this was filmed and posted onto the net by one of the murderers. How can Palestinians now play victim, after committing such atrocities? I hope Hamas and such extremism and terrorism are all destroyed and eradicated from this earth!! .... and may that young innocent girl never be forgotten, and rest in God's eternal peace, light and love."

"I think we HAVE to start showing the photos & videos. Especially to all the young people who support Hamas & their ilk. Stop coddling these young people who are so passionate in their ignorance of things they really don't understand. They protest because it's trendy, not because they believe. How can you believe something you don't even understand? No more "safe spaces". As Ben & Charlie often said "Facts don't care about feelings". Let's show them the FACTS!" Like this?

'Wag the Night Away' in Times Square Is New Yorkers, 'In Your Face' to Mamdani's Anti-Dog Stances

  Jennifer Oliver O'Connell – RedState   "This is absolutely glorious. Between the call to prayer that is being blasted around New Yorkistan and Muslims once again choosing Times Square — the internationally-recognized symbol of New York — instead of their mosques for their prayer display, the Islamic radicals have publicly planted a flag and claimed territory. So, New Yorkers of all stripes are using this event to declare they are taking it back. War rarely ever starts with bullets and bombs; it starts with these smaller acts of gaining and ceding ground. Who would have thought it would be the dogs who would be the ones to give New Yorkers a wake-up call?  

"As RedState reported, this was set off when a Palestinian activist and close ally to Mayor Mamdani decided to make a declaration that New York was "coming to Islam," claiming that dogs are "unclean" and that they should not be allowed in homes." . . .

Mamdani Eyes Cuts to NYPD as He Stacks His Admin With DEI Bureaucracy

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is struggling to fund his agenda and is now even considering funding it by defunding the police. It seems Democrats still have not learned their painful lesson on this.

"The astounding part is that as he eyes cuts to the NYPD, he is trying to fund a DEI bureaucracy.

Mamdani plan pours millions into ‘racial equity’ offices and six-figure diversity jobs, cuts 5,000 NYPD jobs

Even as City Hall describes parts of its spending plan as “actions of last resort,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani is steering millions into an expanding “racial equity” bureaucracy and six-figure diversity positions.

To finance the $127 billion agenda, the plan carries steep trade-offs — higher taxes on wealthy residents and corporations, a potential 9.5% property tax increase if state lawmakers decline to act and a 5,000-officer reduction in the New York City Police Department’s ranks.

Mamdani’s budget is far from inconsequential. In a city of nearly 9 million people that represents the center of global finance, his sweeping progressive agenda isn’t just a local policy shift. It’s a high-stakes experiment that could reshape the nation’s largest economy." . . .

Disaster On the Potomac: What Role DEI Played in the Worst Sewage Spill in U.S. History

  American Greatness   Management’s hard focus on diversity may have satisfied DEI advocates but appears to be doing little in solving the actual problem.

"More than 240 million gallons of raw sewage has spilled into the Potomac River since a pipe burst last month, and the lackluster response of the DC Water Board is raising questions about the competency of those in charge.

"Dr. Unique Morris-Hughes was appointed as Chair of the DC Water Board by the Democratic Mayor of Washington D.C. Muriel Bowser, despite lacking expertise in wastewater management or engineering.

"Though Morris-Hughes has an extensive background in administering federally-funded workforce programs, that experience has done little to mitigate the effects of what may be the largest sewage spill in U.S. history.
