Here’s a top candidate for ‘most misleading MSM headline of the year’

The rising tide of hatred against the Jews is appalling and indefensible.  The refusal to acknowledge truth is even worse.

 Eric Utter- American Thinker   "Paul Kessler, a Jewish man in California, passed away after a pro-Palestine protester struck him in the head with a megaphone.  His death has been ruled a homicide.  The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and hasn’t ruled out deeming the assault a hate crime.  (I should hope not.  It obviously was.)

"In the latest example that the mainstream media are the enemy of the people (and truth, sanity, and decency), NBC News ran the following online headline about the attack: “Man dies after hitting head during Israel and Palestinian rallies in California, officials say.”

"Officials said that, you say?  Hmm, did the poor fellow perhaps slip and fall, hitting his head on the sidewalk?  Did he smack himself in the head too hard?  That headline makes it difficult to discern what happened.  Oh, he was murdered?!  That’s horrible!  Why didn’t you say so?!

"As I noted in my last post, those in the MSM are brazen, shameless, and apparently in the throes of a psychosis.  If today’s intrepid “reporters” were on the job in past years, we would have seen headlines like: . . ."

Just like ‘Mein Kampf’ is not a coloring book and the final solution means exactly what Hitler meant it to mean. ‘From the river to the sea’ is calling for the destruction of an entire country, period, full stop. And so, look, the Congresswoman has a First Amendment right. She can say whatever she wants. But, at the same time, Congress has the ability to express their displeasure with a fellow colleague of ours calling for the destruction of a country. What if we had someone going around saying, France should be wiped off the map? We would think that’s outrageous. But, somehow, ‘From the river to the sea’ is debatable. It is another ridiculous double standard when it comes to Israel.' ” . . .

The Squad is the face of a party too diverse to survive

"Democrats are losing the Gaza War because of four women: Larry Omar, Moe Tlaib, Curly AOC and Shemp Pressley. They are the biggest anti-Semite recruiters in the Democrat Party since Nathan Bedford Forrest formed the KKK.

"It would be childish and demeaning to call them the Squaws, so I will follow the crowd for once and call them the Squad. They rolled into Congress after the 2018 election and played identity politics to the hilt. One was black, one was Hispanic, one was Palestinian and one was married to her brother. The New York Times celebrated this as the future of the Democrat Party.

"So did I, man. So did I.

"On August 8, 2019, NYT ran a piece by Barbara Ransby under the title, “The Squad Is the Future of Politics. You can credit social movements for that.”

"Oh I do credit the social movements for that. Yes indeed, I do.

"NYT said Babs “is a historian who specializes in black politics and social movements and she has written a book on the Black Lives Matter movement.”  . . .

. . .Just the News reported, “The National Muslim Democratic Council, a nationwide group of Democratic leaders and activists, threatened President Joe Biden that if he does not force Israel to reach a ceasefire with Hamas, a U.S. State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization, by 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, they will work to mobilize against him in the 2024 presidential election.”

"The deadline passed with no public demand for a ceasefire. Nice ultimatum. The Palestinian Wingers have become Never Bideners. Tlaib can be their Billy Kristol." . 

Footage Reveals Shocking Discovery by IDF Soldiers in Gaza During Ground Offensive Against Hamas

Even further, if civilians are killed in an airstrike, then Hamas and other enemies of Israel can use their deaths as a political cudgel against the Jewish state and continue perpetuating the false narrative that it is committing genocide against Palestinian Arabs.

  RedState   "Despite claims made by Hamas and its defenders, more proof has emerged exposing the fact that the terrorist group routinely uses Palestinian civilians as human shields. Israel’s critics have constantly railed against the Jewish state for supposedly indiscriminately bombing buildings like schools, hospitals, and others. Those who have paid attention to the overall Israeli/Palestinian conflict understand that this is how the terrorist group operates.

Now, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) has released even more footage from its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, the territory Hamas controls. The video shows Israeli soldiers walking through an abandoned building that appears to be a school. The soldiers point out the rocket launchers that were strategically placed in areas where they could be used to launch rockets into Israel.

This is what we are finding in Gaza.
A building where children play is a Hamas rocket launching site.

The Morning Briefing: Democrats Finally Realizing That Biden 2020 Was a Horrible Idea –

 PJ Media

. . ."What I find most interesting is that the Democrats are just coming to grips with a problem we all could have told them back in 2020 that they'd be facing now. Old-school Democrats would have been better prepared for this. No doubt many think that this is all just so much theater, but I truly believe that they have been caught flat-footed.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is what got us into this predicament. It affected even the better brains among the Democrats. All of their efforts were on one goal in 2020: NOT TRUMP. That was the prize and that was the focus. It's not that they didn't bother to look ahead and ponder the consequences, it's that they were incapable of doing so. The blind TDS rage made them rabid animals. 

"In its more functional days, Democrats would have had a Biden removal plan that kicked in well before Mrs. Biden was able to make him blurt out on camera that he wanted to run for reelection. They've spent three-plus years reveling in the fact that their COVID machinations vanquished Trump, and it has muddled their planning. 

"Ivory Tower Dems went all-in on legally harassing Trump either into submission or prison and now that it has gone this long without doing either, they are just realizing that they're stuck with a candidate who walks in circles and shakes hands with his imaginary friends. 

"Biden is such a liability that some mail-in ballot sleight of hand probably won't do the trick for them next year. Axelrod and his ilk are almost certainly working on various graceful exit scenarios that they can pitch to Old Joe. If they do, they'll quickly be reminded that the real fly in the Gavin Newsom ointment is named Jill Biden. " . . .

Thomas Sowell's Book Debunks Social Justice Fallacies With Facts

 The Federalist

As Sowell warns, ‘Stupid people can create problems, but it often takes brilliant people to create a real catastrophe.’

"More than 100 years ago, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes observed that popular catchwords can stunt critical thinking for 50 years or more. In his latest book, Social Justice Fallacies, revered economist and scholar Thomas Sowell confirms Holmes’ observation by examining the buzzwords that self-described “social justice” proponents commonly use today. He shows that, despite many years — and in some cases even centuries or more — of evidence revealing these words to be nonsense, our media and cultural elites continue touting them in utter defiance of facts."

Social Justice’s False Premise

"Consider, for example, the very term “social justice.” It is predicated on the assumption that institutional discrimination is the primary reason for differences among groups of people, whether among races, economic classes, or even between the sexes. It assumes that were it not for such discrimination, all races, groups, and classes would be equally represented in all human endeavors. In other words, human beings are equal not only in their nature and capacities but in their ability to develop those capacities." . . .

Here come de judge

Nathan Shiba | November 6, 2023 at 7:06 pm:  I think Trump is bad for America. I won’t vote for him. But he’s doing a service for all New Yorkers by pushing back against this elected D judge who is, fairly clearly, not living up to his oath of office. 

Judge Engoron Claims He is ‘Not Here to Listen to What’ Trump has to Say During Testimony (legalinsurrection.com)  . . ."The trial is a sham because Judge Arthur Engoron has already decided that Trump is guilty, but due process is so passe, right?

When Trump left, he said:

This is a case that should have never been brought. It’s a case that should be dismissed immediately. The fraud was on behalf of the court. The court was the fraudster in this case. They made references to assets that were very valuable, and they said, uh, they had no idea. They had no idea what the numbers were when they said $18 million for Mar-A-Lago, has 50 to 100 times that amount by any estimation. It’s a terrible thing that’s happened here. We’re taking days and days and weeks and weeks and it goes on. And then you look at the outside world and what’s happening. But of course, they’re getting their wish because I don’t have to be here for the most part. But I certainly do have to be here because I want to be here because it’s a scam. And this is a case that should have never been brought, and it’s a case that now should be dismissed. . . Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba says judge Arthur Engoron had an unhinged episode in the court room where he started "slamming" a table.

The View Leslie Jones Electoral College Real School

ABC’s The View has never been a place for smart and informed discussions about politics. And that certainly wasn’t the case on Monday’s episode when Daily Show guest host and so-called “comedian” Leslie Jones openly admitted that before she joined Saturday Night Live in 2014, she seriously thought the Electoral College was a real place where politicians went to school. In 2014, Jones was 47 years old. Appearing on The View to promote her new book, the cast heaped obsequious praise on their guest. “And you don't shy away from politics.

 "Appearing on The View to promote her new book, the cast heaped obsequious praise on their guest. “And you don't shy away from politics. You follow politics closely and you’ll hit either side,” faux conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin boasted. “What made you want to work that more into your humor the past few years?

 "According to Jones, she wasn’t into politics before moving to New York and that New Yorkers were “really smart about politics and stuff” compared to Californians:

"Well, honestly, because I just learned about it. When I went to SNL – Okay. Before SNL, just New York, period, you guys are really smart about politics and stuff. Like y'all really are on that. Like California, we’re over there smoking weed, you know, swimming pools, sun tanning. We ain't really into it, right?

“So, when I got to SNL, there were so many things I listened about that I didn't even know.

Israel's 15 ceasefires -

 Don Surber (substack.com)

"Hamas-shielding AP inadvertently drew attention to the history of Israel’s ceasefires with Palestinians — pauses in a 76-year war. Palestinians use ceasefires to reload before breaking the truce by attacking Israel again. Israel reloads as well as it plans counterattacks.

AP has sided with the Palestinians for as long as I can remember. For over a decade, its bureau in Gaza City provided cover for Hamas — the latest name for Palestine’s terrorist army. Hamas governs Gaza. The continuing war against Israel has brought Shi’as (who back Hezbollah) together with Sunnis (Hamas) to fight a common enemy — Jews.

"In 2021, Israel finally unveiled the ruse, called AP, gave them an hour to pack up and leave, and then destroyed the building. The warning sadly allowed Hamas terrorists to escape as well.

"On May 21, 2021, the New York Post reported, “The Associated Press is taking heat for claiming it had no idea Hamas militants operated at the news agency’s Gaza headquarters destroyed by an Israeli airstrike — as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said Monday he has seen no evidence presented by Israel of the group’s presence in the building.”

"Blinken’s words reminded me of Curly saying, “Moe, Larry, I can’t see.” Asked why, he replied, “I got my eyes closed.” . . .

"Ten years ago, U.S. soldiers being deployed to the Middle East who flew to Qatar or Kuwait on the United Arab Emirates airline, before the UAE's supreme leadership in spearheading the Abraham Accords, reported that on maps in flight brochures, a country named Israel did not exist. Many seem to be working now to make that a reality, not just on a map." . . .

  The Western Journal  "To be perfectly clear about this from the outset: There is nothing “good” or worthwhile to be had from the bloody and barbaric invasion of Israel at the hands of Hamas terrorists on the morning of Oct. 7.

"Countless innocent Israelis have been brutally murdered, lives have been irrevocably changed (for the worse), and things will likely get much bloodier before anything gets any better in the region.

"But if there’s one useful thing to emerge from the chaos and destruction, it’s that countless anti-Semites have willingly and loudly unmasked themselves.

‘Kill the Babies!’ Anti-Israel Hecklers Taunt Jews at Stroller Protest

 'Kill the Babies!' Anti-Israel Hecklers Taunt Jews at Stroller Protest (breitbart.com)

"Hecklers shouted “kill the babies” to taunt a protest Sunday organized by Jews in Skokie, Illinois, to highlight the fact that 30 children, including babies, are being held hostage by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.". . .

"Skokie, Illinois, is a disproportionately Jewish suburb of Chicago. It became internationally famous when neo-Nazis tried to march through the suburb in 1978, hoping to antagonize the large population of Holocaust survivors there; the neo-Nazis won a First Amendment case in federal court but called off their protest. The diverse and tolerant nature of the suburb has drawn many immigrants there, including Muslims; it now houses Chicago’s first major Muslim elementary school.

"The Jewish and Muslim communities live in peace, but radical pro-Palestinian activists have lately caused tensions between the two in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas in Israel.

"There are 241 hostages known to be in Gaza, including children, the elderly, and the disabled. Israel has vowed to make every effort to free them, even as it wages a war to destroy Hamas.

"A similar stroller protest to the one in Skokie was organized in Tel Aviv, Israel (as shown in the photo above the article).

"Pro-Palestinian protesters have been at pains to obscure information about the hostages, and have been filmed around the world ripping down posters showing the names and faces of the hostages." . . .
