Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Fundraises For Columbia Activist in ICE Custody Who Endorsed Oct. 7 Attack

 Washington Free Beacon  "Mohsen Mahdawi said he can ‘empathize’ with Hamas, but the GoFundMe calls him an ‘advocate for peace and justice’ "

"Isra Hirsi, the daughter of "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), promoted a fundraiser supporting Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student activist facing deportation over his support for Hamas.

"Hirsi, a far-left activist, anti-Israel agitator, and Barnard College senior, posted a screenshot of the GoFundMe with a link on her Instagram story Tuesday evening. At the time, the fundraiser had collected just over $9,000. By Wednesday afternoon, that ballooned to more than $42,000.

"The GoFundMe launched after ICE detained Mahdawi, a Jordan native, following the revocation of his green card on Monday. The fundraiser has a $100,000 goal with proceeds going toward "legal expenses on behalf of Mohsen … to effect his release from detention and to achieve his quest for US citizenship," the page says.

" 'It also seeks to further his advocacy for building understanding between Israelis and Palestinians for the traumas that each have experienced in order to bring peace and justice to each," the page adds.

"But while the fundraiser portrays Mahdawi as an "advocate for peace and justice," the Columbia graduate student has repeatedly expressed support for Hamas. Just two weeks after the terrorist group killed nearly 1,200 Israelis during its Oct. 7 attack, Mahdawi told a New England newspaper that "Hamas is a product of the Israeli occupation." According to the newspaper, he also helped pen an Oct. 14, 2023, statement that anti-Israel groups at Columbia issued arguing that the "Palestinian struggle for freedom is rooted in international law, under which occupied peoples have the right to resist the occupation of their land." . . .

How Much Power is 1 Gigawatt? | Department of Energy  "A date most movie buffs know by heart, October 21, 2015, is the day Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel to the future in Steven Spielberg’s 1989 classic “Back to the Future Part II.”

"Although you may not have remembered the date, you’ve probably heard of Doc’s DeLorean, which takes 1.21 gigawatts (GW) of power to travel through time. Admittedly, our national labs haven’t quite figured out time travel just yet, but they do analyze power.

"For instance, at the end of 2023, there were over 150.5 GW of wind power and 137.5 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) total in the United States. To help put this number in perspective, it’s important to know just how big 1 GW is. A watt is a measure of power and there are 1 billion watts in 1 GW. (And if you wanted to break it down even further, 1 million watts = 1 megawatt [MW] and 1,000 watts = 1 kilowatt [kW].)

 "It’s also a matter of liberty. The government has no business telling Americans what bathroom fixtures they cannot have and which ones they must have."

"Acting to please a constituency that prefers scarcity over abundance, Joe Biden ordered up a list of federal rules that restricted consumer choice. Given the exhaustive White House agenda that began when Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, it would have been unsurprising had he waited to unwind the Biden regulatory knot. But to his credit, Trump has been moving on that, too.

"Ignoring the left’s constant “we’re running out of everything” screeching, Trump restored “shower freedom” earlier this month with an executive order “to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure.” The new rule rescinds “the overly complicated federal rule that redefined ‘showerhead’ under Obama and Biden,” says the administration.

"The previous rule, which burned through 13,000 words to define “showerhead,” restricted multi-nozzle showerheads to 2.5 gallons of water per minute. The new rule allows each nozzle in a showerhead to pump out 2.5 gallons of water per minute.

"It’s the second time Trump changed the rule. The first time was in 2020. Of course Biden dropped that order after he took office and the government reverted to the Obama restrictions." . . .

Making America’s Showers Great Again 

. . ."Ace of Spades nailed this… The left’s entire mission can be boiled down to let’s f**k with people for almost no reason, just to show that we can, just to feel powerful in our impotence, just to dominate people who are better and stronger than we are." . . .

Bernie Sanders complains about 'the oligarchy' at $1,000-a-ticket music festival

Monica Showalter "Leftists are gluttons for punishment, and nowhere was that more evident than with the specter of Bernie Sanders complaining about all the "oligarchs" in his address to the Coachella music festival which sports entry tickets from $600 for the cheap seats to $1,300 a pop." . . .  Bernie Sanders takes his billionaire-bashing tour to

Leftists are gluttons for punishment, and nowhere was that more evident than with the specter of Bernie Sanders complaining about all the "oligarchs" in his address to the Coachella music festival which sports entry tickets from $600 for the cheap seats to $1,300 a pop.

@coachella, because nothing says “down with the rich” like $1,300 tickets and $75 nachos.  https://x.com/i/status/1911990574439145818

Dem Senator Threatens to Storm CECOT to 'Rescue' Illegal, but Didn't Have Time For Rachel Morin’s Family

 RedState 

 "The mother gave a heartbreaking testimony recounting the moment she found out her daughter had been killed. Her remarks demonstrated the human toll the border crisis has had on far too many Americans due to the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to address immigration."

"If you've never heard of Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, you're in good company. He's completely unremarkable as a lawmaker and is your typical "go along to get along" politician who was a reliable rubber stamp for Joe Biden. He also loves the exclusive lifestyle being in the Senate affords him. Van Hollen has spent his entire career in politics and has precious little real life experience from which to draw, which is abundantly evident based on the political farce he is threatening to pull off.

"Here's the deal: on Monday, the very same day that an illegal from El Salvador was found guilty of the brutal 2023 rape and murder of Maryland mother-of-five Rachel Morin, Morin's senator, Chris Van Hollen, vowed he'd head to El Salvador on an absurd rescue mission to bring his "constituent" Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States.

"Abrego Garcia is, of course, the Salvadoran illegal—anyone sensing a pattern here?—who was recently returned to his homeland by the Trump administration and is now safely ensconced in the CECOT mega prison. He was found by two immigration courts to have ties to the violent MS-13 gang, has had a valid deportation order since 2019 and is apparently the hill on which Chris Van Hollen and his fellow Democrats are choosing to die. 

"Here's the kicker: Van Hollen barely gave Rachel Morin, a legitimate, legal resident of Maryland, a second thought after her murder, paying lip service to her family with an insincere "my heart breaks" platitude followed by political posturing. The lack of compassion is astounding:" . . .

Championing the MS-13ers   

. . ."Sen. Hollen wanted a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele during his recent visit to the United States, not to discuss his success in ridding the El Salvadoran society of its criminal element and how the U.S. might emulate it, but instead to discuss how the U.S. might retrieve some of the darling MS-13ers who were recently flown to El Salvador. For a leader, like Bukele, who recently waged an existential battle for the soul of his country against these animals, the Senator’s request must have seemed insane." . . .

Islamist incursions into East Plano, TX

Perhaps we look to the European harbingers to anticipate where this might lead.   

"Muslims who move to this area will be living primarily (or entirely) with other Muslims. That decision will separate them from the greater community, and the non-assimilation will continue. Their adoption of Sharia law for the people will reinforce the Muslim beliefs, rather than build relationships with non-Muslims. They have already stated that Sharia law will be embedded in the community. Whether they intend to drop or ignore the tenets of Sharia law that conflict with Texas or local law is not clear."

. . . "Is that how Muslim communities around the world typically look? Safe and peaceful? One look at the Islamist third world would say… no.

"There are those who may say that the new community will resemble some Orthodox Jewish communities, so what is the problem? Keep in mind that the Orthodox Jews come together not only to make it easier to maintain their way of life, but they are not in the business of recruiting or converting others to Judaism under the threat of death.

"Islam, on the other hand, wishes to create a new caliphate to rule the entire population." . . .

Could it be from all those Californians (The Tunnel Dweller among them) causing these changes in this state? Who else would have voted for Al Green and Jasmine Crockett? TD

The Texas House of Representatives might instead have dedicated March 23 to Pakistan's abduction victims and abused children.

ONCE AGAIN, Muslims in America are DEMANDING that public schools be shut down in order to allow a small number of students to observe a Muslim holiday

" ‘MINNESOTASTAN’ Muslim parents in Burnsville are demanding that the longstanding scheduled high school graduation date be changed because it conflicts with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha – the Festival of Animal Sacrifice," . . . See the photos if you have the stomach for it. ISIS sometimes referred to "slaughtering" American prisoners; this was what they meant. TD
