Liberal Writer Calls on Democrats to Condemn Anti-Zionist Protesters: They ‘Will Not Stop Harassing And Intimidating Jewish People
The Left’s addiction to anti-Zionism "What are the origins of today’s anti-Zionism? I spoke about the critical issue with Senior Fellow of the Z3 Project/Expert of modern antisemitism Izabella Tabarovsky. Drawing on her experience growing up in the Soviet Union, Taborovsky traced the communist roots of anti-Zionism and how it has become a central piece of the left’s political and cultural ideology. If you want to understand the principles of what she calls “zombie” Anti-Zionism this is an interview you don’t want to miss."
“I don’t think the anticipation is that there’s going to be tension,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and a spokesperson for the Coalition to March on the DNC. “I think the anticipation is that we’re going to do something historic.”
Pro-Hamas imam calls on Allah to ‘destroy the zionist Jews’ in hate-filled sermon at NY mosque "New York mosque has apologized for hateful statements made by a pro-Hamas imam earlier this month — including calling for the destruction of “zionist Jews.”
"The guest imam delivered the sermon on Aug. 9 at the Islamic Center of Rockland County, in Valley Cottage, touting that Hamas was winning the war in Gaza.
“ 'Oh Allah, destroy the zionist Jews,” said the imam, who was not identified, according to a translation by Memri TV.
“ 'Oh Allah, seize them with a crushing grip,” he added, saying Hamas will win because of their faith." . . .
Liberal Writer Calls on Democrats to Condemn Anti-Zionist Protesters: They ‘Will Not Stop Harassing And Intimidating Jewish People’
"New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait condemned the anti-Zionist protesters expected to cause a ruckus at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week in a blistering column on Monday calling on his fellow Democrats to join him.
"He argued that while many of the groups leading the protests in Chicago and cities across the country have had pure motives ascribed to them, most of them celebrated the barbaric October 7 attack on Israel, wishing “death to every single individual who supports the Zionist state,” and systematically harassing prominent Jews.

“ 'They will not stop creating fear and discomfort for Zionists because they simply don’t believe in liberal ground rules that would permit people with different beliefs about the Middle East to go about their lives in peace. Even if they lack the power to murder Zionists, they retain the power to make them deeply uncomfortable,” he submitted. “It is why they consistently surround their targets with taunts and vandalize their homes.”
“ 'What Democrats and progressives need to decide is whether to treat these groups as noble idealists broadly on the right side of history or as the fanatic adherents of an illiberal and unjust program,” continued Chait after outlining his own issues with Israel and some of its advocated in the United States. “In the Middle East, that program calls for endless war until the Jews have been expurgated from a soil on which they unnaturally reside. In the West, it means imposing social norms that make most Jews feel alien and unwelcome." . . .
Gov. Walz Marched with Radical Abolish ICE Groups
"Establishment media are rushing to describe Tim Walz as a "centrist." But when he was asked in 2019 if he was a progressive or a centrist, Walz said he is a progressive."
"According to a report from The Washington Examiner, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), Vice President Kamala Harris‘s running mate, attended a march with “Abolish ICE” protesters in 2018. He supported reunifying families in the United States instead of the country they came from.
"It was the Free Our Future protest. These Abolish ICE groups want open borders.
"Notable attendees included Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota candidates for governor Rep. Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, and Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., alongside running mate and Rep. Peggy Flanagan, DFL-St. Louis Park.
"[Before she was elected in Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer marched with Abolish ICE radicals.]
"At this Minnesota protest, they stood on tracks blocking traffic illegally.
"The march was organized by groups such as Navigate MN, Black Immigrant Collective, and the Council of American-Islamic Relations – MN. They are communist and/or radical Islamist. These groups do not have our best interests at heart.
"Walz, who was running for governor at the time, told a separate publication that he did not support abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement but believed in “majorly reforming” it." . . .
If a candidate doesn't seem great, Democrats will give them a folksy, affectionate title, like "America's Dad". That will encourage those youthful voices at rallies to clamor for him and vote for him in their clueless zeal. You will recall these are the same voices who cheered for the murderers of Hamas that massacred families and baked living infants in ovens. And, as Douglas Murray pointed out, they did it "with glee". Many of these benighted sheep will be in the streets of Chicago this week. The Tunnel Dweller

Kamala is Cooked
Josiah Lippincott . . ."Trump’s courageous response to the assassination attempt solidified his status as the frontrunner. He has never been more popular than he is right now. Kamala is grasping at straws.
"Democrats have gone from calling Trump the next Adolf Hitler to pretending that he is “weird.” That’s quite the rhetorical comedown.
"Setting aside those enormous political headwinds, Kamala has a whole set of other problems. For one, not one American voter has ever cast a ballot for her at the national level or in a single presidential primary. Kamala is also a notoriously bad interviewer. Her 2021 sit-down with Lester Holt went so badly that the Biden people essentially put Harris in political deep freeze for the next two years." . . .

"Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic record has faced intense scrutiny over the past week, with critics arguing her contributions have been largely insignificant, if not detrimental.
"Vice Presidential candidate Senator JD Vance (R-OH) pulled no punches Sunday with a scathing assessment of Harris’s approach to economic issues, particularly inflation.
"During a Fox News interview with Shannon Bream Sunday, Vance highlighted the disconnect between Harris’s time in office and her lack of progress on economic challenges.
“ 'The American people just don’t buy the idea that Kamala Harris, who has been vice president for three and a half years, is somehow going to tackle the inflation crisis in a way tomorrow that she hasn’t for the past 1,300 days,” Vance pointed out.
"Harris’s most notable economic action to date has been casting the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act. However, this legislation appears to have fallen short of its stated goals. Instead of curbing inflation, it seems to have primarily focused on climate policies that some view as misaligned with immediate economic concerns.
"Vance didn’t mince words when discussing Harris’s potential influence over inflation policy. In a provocative statement, he said, “Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy … it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy.' ” . . .
Patrons Furious After They All Got Tossed Out of Famous Restaurant to Have 'Staged' Event for Harris . . ."We reported earlier that the Harris team seemed to have a staged event on Sunday at Sheetz in Pennsylvania. Then, on Monday at the DNC, they introduced Walz at one of the events as "Command Sergeant Major" — misrepresenting the rank that he retired at, a rank he never earned.
"But they really doubled down on the staging of events with what they did in Pittsburgh at the famous Primanti Brothers restaurant on Sunday, according to Fox News.
Patrons at a Pittsburgh culinary landmark were outraged Monday after they claimed they were forced to leave the premises before Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz arrived for a weekend campaign stop.
Several people who had been enjoying food, drinks and the Pittsburgh Pirates game on TV at Primanti Bros. in Moon, Pennsylvania, on Sunday said they were all forced out of the restaurant promptly at 4 p.m.
"Mark Dodson said it was crazy this was happening so suddenly like that.
"They shut down the TVs… so you couldn’t watch the game," he said. "I said, this is BS – this is a public restaurant. It was kind of mind-boggling to me."
"Then, what happened next was astonishing. A bunch of white vans rolled up. People who had been tossed out and others said they had brought in people to have an "audience" in the restaurant, Sam DeMarco, the Republican Committee of Allegheny County chairman, reported. "Holy hell, all these actors in these vans," one of the men shouted." . . .
So then the media shows that, maybe not knowing themselves what allegedly happened and their viewers think that's a genuine audience who are thanking Kamala, if this report is correct.
Talk about phony. The Harris team needs to answer up about what they did here, but I won't hold my breath.
Fox asked Primanti Brothers what was going on here, but they didn't get back an answer yet.
House Committees Report: Biden Engaged in 'Impeachable Conduct' as VP, But ...
"Impeachment has turned into a political weapon rather than a check on abuse of power. Perhaps Congress needs to ask itself what the point of impeachment really is, constitutionally rather than politically, and recalculate its own actions in light of a new definition."
"Barn door, officially closed. The colt bolted on July 21, when Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential election took all of the steam out of an impeachment bid that had already lost most of it over the past year.
"The combined report from three House committees accused Biden of aiding the corrupt activities of Hunter Biden and other family members as Vice President. It didn't add much new evidence to the claims that the committees hadn't already released during their investigations:
"The executive summary lays out the case in broad terms: . . .
First and foremost, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family. Among other aspects of this conspiracy, the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden. As Vice President, President Biden actively participated in this conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden. For example, in 2014, Vice President Biden attended a dinner for Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina. Following the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a firm associated with Hunter Biden. Then, months later, as Hunter Biden and his business associates continued to solicit more money from Baturina, Vice President Biden participated in a phone call with Baturina and Hunter Biden where Vice President Biden told Baturina, “you be good to my boy.” Moreover, President Biden knowingly participated in this conspiracy. Based on the totality of the evidence, it is inconceivable that President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by abusing his office of public trust.
The evidence also establishes that the Biden family went to great lengths to conceal this conspiracy. Foreign money was transmitted to the Biden family through complicated financial transactions. The Biden family laundered funds through intermediate entities and broke up large transactions into numerous smaller transactions. Substantial efforts were also made to hide President Biden’s involvement in his family’s business activities.
The above is just an excerpt; read the full article here.
“Our impeachment inquiry shows conclusively that Joe Biden abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates. "As President Joe Biden prepares to deliver his swan song at the Democratic National Convention Monday evening — no doubt to glowing accolades and sentimental expressions of admiration and gratitude for his years of service — the House Judiciary Committee has released a damning report detailing the findings of the committee (along with the Oversight Committee and Ways and Means Committee) in conjunction with the ongoing impeachment inquiry into the president." . . .

Black Wisconsin Voter: I'm Leaning Toward Trump Because Kamala Is a Liar
"We’ve all had fun highlighting Kamala Harris’ social awkwardness. Donald Trump has been brutal to her in his rallies, but it’s not necessary. There’s a reason why this woman is keeping her mouth shut: she’s a lightweight and an absolute disaster on policy. Why is this silent monk routine amusing?
"Her entire agenda is Joe Biden’s, and her name is right next to his in all the White House policy rollouts. When she does speak, it’s an incoherent trainwreck. Keeping Biden and Harris attached at the hip in the messaging is essential, and voters aren’t dumb either.
"ABC News interviewed a black Wisconsin woman who was unafraid to say she was leaning towards Trump, citing the former president’s ‘no tax on tips’ policy, which this woman said Kamala stole.
“ 'She's [Kamala] just been kind of caught up in a lot of lies,” she added.
"Black voters are an interesting demographic this cycle since a) they didn’t like Joe Biden, and b) they’re not overly jacked up about Kamala Harris either. They’re willing to veer away from the DNC’s laughable propaganda about the economy. In Philadelphia, one black woman broke down about how inflation is killing the community without actually doing it, placing blame on the federal government—aka the Biden administration." . . .
Is Kamala Drunk? "There is a lot of chatter on Twitter/X regarding Kamala Harris' bizarre word salads.
"For a long time, people have just assumed she is a moron, and I admit that this has been my working theory. She rose through the ranks of Democratic politics on the back of relationships with powerful people, implying that intelligence was not the driving force in her rise to power.
"She certainly is not charismatic, regardless of what the current propaganda keeps trying to sell to us. Until the media decided that they had no choice but to back her with all their firepower, they were actually quite disgusted by her, probably because of her collapse in the Democratic race in 2019. They had been 100% behind her and she collapsed into a heap of dung in that campaign.
"Now there is an alternate theory about why she is so incoherent, and once you look, you can't unsee the likelihood that it is true." . . .
Like Elaine said to Jerry Seinfeld: "Fake, Fake, Fake, Fake"
Will this be another Obama-like black vs. white election just like 2008 when we heard the shrieks of unaware young people over the politically-correct candidate? And the career choice for public figures? Please read my comment from 2007 in the right sidebar. TD
"As off-script as the word salads I mentioned above were, this was a moment that was clearly on-script, and painfully so. Just as the vice president starts to walk away from him, you can see Doug Emhoff rush to bend down and grab a bag of pre-staged chips. Harris then pretends to wander down one of the aisles before he suddenly reappears, Doritos in hand so she can deliver her line.
"What if I told you that wasn't where the cringe stopped, though? Believe it or not, they filmed that interaction multiple times, and with multiple people giving her the chips. In another video, Tim Walz is the one "finding" and giving her the Doritos." ...
lol! For Kamala Harris’s visit to Primanti’s this afternoon they kicked out all the customers at 4pm so they could bring in their own audience. 🤦♂️ look at all the white vans. Keep that in mind as you see video of them interacting inside. 🤣 Kudos to the Trump supporters who… pic.twitter.com/8Q4pKEpUNv

In Touting Soviet-Like Price Control Plan, Kamala Harris Vows to Fight Price…Gauging? . . ."Her history of being an empty-suited, policy-less, creation of San Francisco Democrat politics — combined with the very fact that her website still lists no policy proposals and she has refused to grant even one interview to the media — shows that this was more than a mere slip of the tongue.
"She simply has no idea what price-gouging actually means, and likely has no idea that it’s not this or private-sector greed that’s causing inflation, but rather the profligate spending and America Last energy policies of the administration of which she’s been a part for the past four years.
"Don’t expect her to understand inflation, much less the root causes." . . .
NBC host Kristen Welker, however, pressed Whitmer on the practicality of the price gouging proposal, echoing concerns raised by critics who view it as potentially ineffective or even counterproductive. . . ."A recent Pew Research Center study revealed that only 23% of voters view current economic conditions as excellent or good, while 36% rate them as poor.
"Critics of the price gouging plan have been vocal in their opposition.
"Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell described the policy as “hard to exaggerate how bad” it is." . . .
Speaking of free enterprise vs. price controls: Harris offers big bucks for black entertainers to shill for her. This guy refused but others sold themselves to her. Video . . .“Kamala Harris and the Democratic plantation is paying you celebrities, paying you to shame Black people into voting [for Harris]. Ya’ll know we not going to get nothing out of that vote…ya’ll being bought. They offered my $10K for an interview with Kamala Harris. I don’t want your money, but we can definitely do the interview…yes, we can do the interview, but keep your damn money," Johnson said." . . .
Shill this, Hollywood! Wrongfully Convicted Black Man Recounts How Kamala Harris Laughed After Convicting Him "There are likely many who have stories about how Vice President Kamala Harris’ approach to criminal justice has caused great harm. The story of actor Jamal Trulove, however, presents a particularly glaring example that Democrats would rather remain hidden." . . .
"I'll never forget when I turned around and I looked and I seen Kamala Harris. We locked eyes this one time, and she laughed."

Final comment on the above:
Lester Dent: "Some context for those of us who needed it (I had to look it up…). Jamal Trulove was convicted of murder, then conviction was overturned on appeal (mainly prosecutorial misconduct). He sued SF & was awarded over $13m. While sites like @PolitiFact say that Harris did not personally prosecute, as DA all cases cross her desk & she has both actual & ethical responsibility for actions taken by attorneys under her supervision. Claims that she was not responsible are simply false."
Elon Musk Shares Devastating Video ‘The Unraveling of Kamala Harris’ on His X Page – Kamala Was So Bad She Folded Before First Primary Contest
I can never forget the evil way she treated a decent man like Judge Kavanaugh by trying to destroy his reputation. She is a failure as a politician, a Senator, a border czar and, I fear, like Joe Biden, will be a failure as a President and as an ally of civilized nations against murderous enemies; the plagues of peaceful civilizations by such as Hamas.

Two Heroes and a Marxist Airhead . . . "Musk has consistently offered the same opportunity to Kamala Harris, who is unlikely to agree to such an unscripted, unrehearsed, freewheeling discussion.
"She has finally set forth her agenda (until now it has been a secret with not even a hint of it on her website). It appears to have been written by slovenly kids who spent their college years in the student union advocating for “the masses.”
"It is an agenda utterly ignorant of economics -- which is to say, reality. The worst of it is price controls to deal with what she mysteriously said was “price gauging.” (Apparently even reading prepared remarks presents a challenge for her.)
"Iowahawk, as you might expect, had some thoughts on the agenda:" . . .
Biden's Former Chief of Staff Admits Kamala Harris Vice Presidency Was a Failure . . ."Meanwhile, although much of the media has spent the days since the beginning of Kamala’s campaign pretending she had nothing to do with the border and bears no responsibility for the fiasco, the Times begrudgingly admits it here [emphasis mine]:
But she was also saddled with no-win assignments, most notably tackling the root causes of illegal immigration from Central America, exposing her to Republican criticism. Stung by an early television interview that went awry, she became skittish about mistakes, asking whether an appearance or a line in a speech might produce another vicious viral clip. And her allies believed the president’s staff often clipped her wings, appropriating her initiatives for him to announce without building up her own public profile.
"Notice how the authors manage to criticize what we can presume to be Republicans in their angle? Her senseless ramblings might produce “another vicious viral clip.” But what exactly is vicious about playing her own words?" . . .
‘Gross’: Rita Panahi slams ‘moron’ MSNBC host
Gaslighting: MSNBC knows they are lying but don't care if you know.
"Sky News host Rita Panahi has hit out at MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend over her “gross” commentary on a tribute to the father and firefighter Corey Comperatore who was murdered in a shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania
"During a segment on MSNBC, Ms Sanders-Townsend claimed that she was ‘sickened’ by the tribute to Comperatore at the republican national convention and the using of his firefighter jacket as a 'prop’. “Just gross. The truth is that it wasn't a prop. It was Corey's real uniform, and the moron activists in the media who ran with that angle would've known that if they'd done even 5 seconds of research," Ms Panahi said." . . .Kamala’s inflation rhetoric misses the real culprit
. . ."Of course, to Democrats, oil companies, which have made the country thrive for over 150 years, are evil. They should be thankful that oil companies have greatly improved our quality and length of life instead of seeking to destroy them."
"Kamala is outraged at grocery stores that have a net profit margin of around 2%. Somehow, she blames them for the high inflation that is causing them to live paycheck to paycheck, clean out their savings, and run up their credit card debt.
"But she didn’t say a word about Google, whose net profit margin is 13 times what the grocery store margins are. Could it be that they are special because they find a way to favor Democrats and harm Republicans on their almost monopolistic search engine? Could it be that they are special as they support the green pushers while their carbon footprint, with their data centers and A.I., is massive?
"It seems that as long as they pretend, they will be special and not blamed for inflation.
"Facebook also was not mentioned despite its margin being 34.34%, or 17 times a grocery store’s. Of course, Zuckerburg spent hundreds of millions to beat Trump in 2020." . . .
. . ."If Kamala wants to blame someone for high inflation, she should look at all the people who are allowed to rob stores blind in California and elsewhere, where there are no repercussions. Their net profit margin is 100%, and stores either have to offset the costs with higher prices close. Who is to blame for this? Kamala herself supported Prop. 47, which allows stealing up to $950 every day in as many stores as they like. Not once have I heard Kamala rail against this idiotic law or against Soros-supported prosecutors who allow career criminals to roam the street and destroy society."
