Hollywood celebrities are backing a terrorist murderer — read the facts

More than 20 Marvel universe actors join campaign for release of Palestinian politician Marwan Barghouti

"More than 20 actors from the Marvel universe — including Mark Ruffalo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton — have joined a campaign calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti.

"These Hollywood celebrities portray him as a Palestinian political prisoner and compare his imprisonment to that of Nelson Mandela.

"This is what happens when Hollywood’s woke celebrity club substitutes ideology for facts.". . . .. . . "They have spent their careers playing superheroes, but appear to know remarkably little about the history they are now trying to rewrite. They sit comfortably in their movie studio trailers and pronounce moral judgments on a bitter conflict in which they have no personal stake and, judging by this campaign, very little understanding." . . .

"Before demanding Barghouti’s release, the Marvel justice league should do something remarkably simple: Read the documents.

"Read the names of the five people he was convicted of murdering. Read the evidence. Then explain to their millions of followers why those victims should be written out of the story while Barghouti becomes its hero.

"Hollywood can manufacture superheroes; it cannot manufacture innocence. The victims were real. The convictions were real. The families are still real. And Barghouti can never go free."

"Nitsana Darshan-Leitner is an Israeli human rights lawyer and president of the Shurat HaDin Law Center, which represents terror victims.

‘Sanitizing a Serial Killer’   . . . "Judges found him responsible for a June 2001 drive-by shooting that killed a Greek Orthodox monk on the road between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, a January 2002 shooting at a gas station near Jerusalem in which an Israeli was murdered, and a March 2002 attack at Tel Aviv’s Seafood Market restaurant where three people were murdered, as well as a failed suicide bombing outside a Jerusalem mall.

"The court also held Barghouti morally responsible for additional attacks carried out by cells under his command and sentenced him to five consecutive life terms plus additional years.

"Israeli officials and security analysts have long identified him as one of the principal architects of the Second Intifada’s terror campaign that left more than 1,000 Israelis dead in shootings, bombings, and other attacks deliberately targeting civilians.

"Israel’s Channel 12’s chief political correspondent Amit Segal responded to the Hollywood petition in a sharply worded post on X, warning that the signatories are whitewashing Barghouti’s record." . . .

THE final hours of Lindsay Clancy’s three children have been revealed by their preschool teachers and pediatrician.

 "Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy were found by their father in the basement of their Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023, after Lindsay strangled them with exercise bands.

. . . "Lindsay has since pleaded not guilty to three murder charges after she strangled her children on the night of January 24, 2023.

"Lindsay’s lawyer plans to argue that she was not criminally responsible for murder because she was suffering from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis.

"On the other side, prosecutor Jennifer Sprague of the Plymouth County DA’s Office, has alleged that Lindsay deliberately killed Cora, Dawson and Callan, and “gave herself the time and privacy needed to commit the murders.” ----------------Full article here.

Hamas’s Fire Kites Put the Gaza Cease-Fire to the Test

So, how's that two-state working out for you all?

The American Spectator

"Mr. Trump, it’s time to take a stand against all of those things. If you don’t, our only real ally in the Middle East will be left all alone."  

"Near the end of the movie Mary Poppins there’s a scene where everyone breaks out in a song “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” There’s probably no more wholesome fun than flying a kite with one of your kids. But that was long ago before Hamas began flying kites intending to kill people.

"This isn’t a new thing for Hamas. They’d been flying incendiary devices into Israel for years before their October 7, 2023 attack which began the latest war. Now, Hamas seems to be trying to get away with the new round of attacks and, according to the United Nations, they are.

"UN Human Rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani dismissed Israeli threats to evacuate civilians from areas where the fire kites are being flown. She said, “On the threat of expulsion due to children’s kite flying, I hope we can all agree that this is outrageous.” Really? The Hamas kites aren’t innocent acts by children. The incendiary kites are terrorist acts.

"Hamas is testing Israel’s response. Will it attack the presumed kite launch sites? It very well could but that would not be a forceful move. Hitting some empty lots won’t do anything.

"While all this is going on, Hamas is doing pretty much everything to not comply with the stated terms of the U.S. cease-fire in Gaza.

"One Hamas “senior spokesman,” Hasan Badran, said in a August 12 interview that Hamas has decided to participate in the Palestinian elections to be held at the end of November. This clearly violates the ban on Hamas’s participation in the government of Gaza which is part of the cease-fire deal.

"Hamas continues to police Gaza, contrary to its commitment not to govern the territory." . . .

"We don’t, as the Democrats do, support Hasan Piker, an “American” podcaster who has said, among the many other awful things, that the U.S. deserved the 9-11 attacks. We don’t stand with the Democrats who elected New York Mayor Mamdani, who wants to turn the city into a mini-socialist state. And we don’t stand with the many Democrats who want to end U.S. support of Israel." . . .  More...

You mean like this guy? Far-left streamer Hasan Piker equates Israel's 'right to exist' to Nazi Germany   Irony alert:

"Piker, an outspoken anti-Israel voice, also compared Zionism to fascism and Nazi Germany during the conversation."    

Piker's favorite movie character, I'm sure.

What could Piker possibly have against Nazi Germany?  He'd have loved what the SS did to Jewish families by the millions and would have laughed at those trains as they left for the chimneys? TD

A Democrat Called for Imprisoning American Zionists – Her Party Blamed the GOP – The Federalist Papers

UPDATE:  No, Democrats haven’t distanced themselves from Hasan Piker

  . . . "Piker’s contention that Jews will have brought violence on themselves mirrors el-Sayed’s statement — “hurt people hurt people” — rationalizing the near-massacre of kindergartens in a Hezbollah-style car-ramming at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township last year. Even after noting his statement was a “mistake,” el-Sayed was still arguing that he was merely trying to offer “context.” The “context” is that el Sayed treats murderous terrorists of the Islamic variety as rational actors with legitimate grievances. Just like Piker."

California's Midterm Election Will Determine Fate of Costly New Mileage Tax

"California drivers already pay the highest gas tax and car tax in the nation. Now Sacramento Democrats want to charge them for every mile they drive too!

"Under the plan, drivers would be charged six to nine cents for every mile they drive, on top of the gas tax and car tax they already pay. All cars would be required to have electronic mileage trackers installed or be taken in annually by drivers for mileage inspections. Drivers would then be sent a tax bill for the Mileage Tax they owe.

"For the average Californian driving 15,000 miles a year, a six cent-per-mile Mileage Tax works out to $900 annually - or the equivalent of raising the gas tax itself by 87 cents per gallon!

"'Because of the extreme policies of Democrats in Sacramento, California has the highest cost of living in the nation - and now the Democrats want to make it worse by imposing a crazy new Mileage Tax on all drivers," CA State Rep. Carl DeMaio says.

"DeMaio says the Mileage Tax won't fix roads and is just another money grab by politicians who continue to engage in wasteful spending and raids on road funds." . . .

CA Democrat Bill to Legalize "Crimes of Necessity" Defeated   

. . . "The bill barely passed the Assembly, 41 to 22, with every Republican voting no and a couple of Democrats joining them. DeMaio said Reform California turned that narrow, party-line vote into a public pressure campaign, using social media, text messages, and digital outreach to make sure voters knew exactly what the bill did and who supported it." . . .

How Capitalism Reduces Poverty and Creates Wealth

James T. Moodey - American Thinker

"It was not greed that made capitalism successful; it was nearly the opposite.  It was the sharing of profits with all who sold the product."

"The word capitalism was coined in the 1700s.  The definition was vague.  It generally meant “private property traded freely” or “free markets.”  However, most non-totalitarian countries had free markets, and these countries in Europe and elsewhere were not particularly wealthy.  Their rural people were paupers living off the land, even in England, France, and the U.S. at our founding.

"We generally regard capitalism as creating wealth, but free markets are not what created the enormous wealth that occurred in the United States.  I knew that and studied our economic history to find out: If it was not free markets, what was it?  What specifically were the mechanics of “our capitalism” that created such wealth?  

"I found the answer.  However, I also learned that capitalism cannot be taught without properly defining wealth.

"Wealth of a nation is its amount of usable goods.  I use the term usable goods to exclude paintings and other speculative items.  Poverty is a lack of usable goods, such as clothes or food.  A large supply of usable goods brings prices down and reduces poverty.  We became wealthy because we produced an enormous amount of usable goods.  But how did that happen?

"Usable goods are created by factories.  It is not the amount we pay factory workers that is important; it is the millions of hammers, shoes, and vehicles they produce that create wealth.  Farmers and utility workers can be included with factory workers who produce usable goods for millions of people. " . . . More...

James T. Moodey in his youth as a Grand Canyon river guide, progressed from running technical rapids into two technical careers: Relocating factories, which may be the most complex of business problems, and owning a company with a Weights and Measures gas physics laboratory. He relies not upon his university economics degree; but, upon thirty-five years of private sector experience where he says, "The real learning begins." He clearly explains the precise causes of poverty. As a result, his solutions become obvious and easy to understand.

Bill and Hillary Clinton Are Looking for Help - and What They're Asking for Has People Laughing

  RedState  

"One commenter joked that the position is with the former first lady’s office because, “you can’t offer ‘internships with Bill Clinton’ anymore.'” Never ends.

"Both Bill and Hillary Clinton are seeking help for their foundation, the Clinton Foundation. 

"But the advertisements for the positions they are looking to have filled have people laughing when they think of the Clintons' history. 

"For instance, there was an ad for an "intern" to work at Hillary's office on Madison Avenue in New York City, doing research, memos, office management, and more. Hillary wants someone with a “high level of professionalism and discretion,” according to the posting on DayBook. I think if they had those qualities, they would probably have enough sense not to apply for that job. 

"Meanwhile, Bill Clinton's team is looking for a “special projects associate” to help draft meeting agendas, edit briefs, and coordinate between his office and the foundation.

"The "special projects associate" salary is projected to be between $50,000 and $55,000, which is pretty low given the position, how much money the foundation has, as well as having to live in New York. So much for the Democrats claiming they're for a living wage. 

"Meanwhile, the poor intern who would have to work for Hillary would be taking an unpaid position within the Clinton Foundation. Who would take that - no money plus having to work for Hillary? The position also calls for "transcribing speeches and public remarks," "managing mail and maintaining archives," as well as a "commitment to working 25 to 29 hours per week." Can we talk about hell on Earth?" . . .  More...
