Why Isn't the MSM Talking About the Hostages?

 One assumes those chanting for Hamas everywhere are also those who tore down pictures of Hamas's hostages. You know; those people supporting Gazans who raped and mutilated young women after making their families watch or simply machine-gunning them to death. TD

David Strom – HotAir

One of the key ways the MSM shapes the narrative is by choosing what they cover and what they ignore, and they are assiduously ignoring anything related to Hamas' perfidy. We hear "Israel bad" all day, every day, and calls for a ceasefire, yet most Americans haven't a clue that Hamas is the party that keeps turning offers of a ceasefire down. 

 "If you only paid attention to the MSM coverage, you could be forgiven for not realizing that there are still American hostages being held by Hamas. 

"It's not that the fact is exactly hidden; rather, they are barely mentioned. It's almost as if the media considers them as unimportant as the Americans left behind in Afghanistan. Remember them? Few do, because the media dropped that story like a hot potato. 

"Perhaps if they were transgender, they would get a mention. But no, they are only Jews for the most part, and Jews are settler colonialists. 

Everyone has forgotten the American Hostages held by Hamas..
This was a tactical decision by News Organizations ..
Biden and his Admin hardly mentions ..
In 1979
When Iran took Americans Hostage ..
We were reminded nightly for 444 Days

. . ."They want to keep the hostages--the few they haven't killed, that is." 

"Biden doesn't want any focus on this issue because it makes him look bad, and the regime media is totally compliant."

"However much you hate and distrust the media, you still overestimate their integrity."

Kids are Beginning to Pass on Ivy League Schools to Attend Colleges in the South

 Rick Moran – PJ Media  

"Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and the rest of the Ivy League have been floating along, dependent on a reputation that's more myth than reality. Why go to a stuffy school when you can live freely at Clemson or North Carolina State?"

"There's been an unprecedented movement by college-age kids away from Ivy League and other so-called elite schools toward schools in the South.

"It's no mystery. Several factors are at play in this migration, including a greater sense of freedom, great college sports teams, and warmer weather. The pandemic hastened the migration as southern schools had relaxed strict COVID restrictions long before the eastern schools got around to it.

"The Free Press reports, "Both Brown and Harvard saw dips in their application numbers this year—by 5 percent and 3 percent, respectively. (Early decisions to Harvard were down 17 percent.) And while applications to private colleges in mid-Atlantic (25.3 percent) and New England (29 percent) states have risen since 2019, the gains have been small compared to Southern colleges, which saw a 42 percent increase overall."

"Admittedly, a drop in applications is not a reason for Harvard to panic. They get 50,000+ applications a year and are still one of the most selective universities in the country." . . .

The Morning Briefing: Let the Protesters Stay Until Academia Burns to the Ground – Stephen Kruiser 

"We're not seeing something that came from the deep recesses of the collective college student consciousness. This has been simmering just below the surface for a very long time. Academic leftists are the cancer, the anti-Israel protests are the symptom."

 . . ."We're going to broaden the definition of "campus protesters" today. In yesterday's Briefing, I was mostly referring to the student mobs who have been making all of the anti-Israel noise and trouble on campuses all over America. We can't forget the adults in academia who are paid handsomely to indoctrinate the kids and saddle them with such crippling ignorance, however. What we're seeing is the product of decades of pumping impressionable minds full of, to borrow a leftist word, misinformation.

"Or lies, for those of us who don't always need to be polysyllabic. 

"This is from a post that Rick wrote yesterday: 

The most serious confrontations between police and protesters did not feature idealistic, earnest 19- and 20-year-olds, but rather 40- and 50-something faculty members who acted like a bunch of spoiled brats. 

“The faculty were — from what I personally observed, and spoke to lieutenants and captains out there — the most aggressive towards the police,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told Fox 5. “They would not move, they would not let go.”

"The student mobs have been whipped into a frenzy by the alleged adults in the room. That's the real tragedy here."

Pro-Hamas protests show higher education has crossed the line (nypost.com)   . . ."With the horrific massacre, rapes and infant murders and kidnappings Hamas proudly perpetrated in Israel, much of the American academic community, especially at elite universities, sided with . . . Hamas." . . .

Dozens of Harvard student groups released a remarkably callous statement saying Israel’s government is “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ violence. 

When Accuracy in Media’s “doxxing truck” took to campus on Thursday,
 someone lashed out by crossing out HarvardHatesJews.com in spray paint. . . .

. . ."Sen. Marco Rubio summed up the objections: “For decades cowardly college administrators have enabled our universities to become nests of Anti-American/Anti-Western activism. This week student groups at our most ‘elite’ universities signed their names to proclamations siding with savages who murdered & mutilated babies and raped & desecrated the bodies of dead women. And across America college students” with “federal taxpayer subsidized” loans “celebrated the murder of Jews.”. . .

. . ."It’s almost amusing to see the shocked reaction of elite university students and administrators to the notion that people might object to their statements.

"In their insular worlds, endorsing murder, rape and torture isn’t objectionable so long as the perpetrators are deemed “oppressed.” It turns out others disagree.

"There may be a sea change in attitudes. 

"We’ve long known higher education breeds a lot of silly — and sometimes dangerous — ideas." . . . 

We say they will grow out of all this, but the professors didn't, did they? Jane Fonda didn't. TD

A Prosecution In Search of a Crime

  Power Line (powerlineblog.com)  "Donald Trump is undergoing a criminal trial in Manhattan. He is charged with filing corporate records that included a false statement; namely, that payments to Michael Cohen that were described as being for legal services were, in fact, to reimburse Cohen for making one or more payments to Stormy Daniels in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement. But those payments to Daniels were perfectly legal, and filing a false corporate document is a misdemeanor on which the statute of limitation has passed.

"So in order to charge Trump, District Attorney Alvin Bragg had to allege that the false documents were filed in order to cover up another crime. That would make it a felony. But what is that other crime? Bragg has been coy about it. In truth, there was no other crime, and Bragg’s prosecution is election interference on behalf of the Democratic Party, plain and simple.

"One would think that this case could not have gone to trial without a clear specification of that other crime and evidence in support of it. But that appears to be what has happened, courtesy of trial judge Juan Merchan, who is in on the scam.

"Byron York points out this classic of obfuscation from the prosecutor’s opening statement:

Kalifornia Krazy –

 Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com) 

"But maybe the cost will be worth it. After all, we’ll finally have justice for past injustices, right?  Hardly. Anyone who believes reparations are the final step to healing and harmony is loco. Their legacy will be the intensifying of racial division, greater opportunities for graft, and a boost to race hustlers."

 "Maybe insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. But insanity is also whatever the California Legislature is doing at any given time. The most recent example? A reparations bill that would establish the California American Freedmen Affairs Agency has sailed through the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Senate Bill 1403, one of at least 14 reparations bills introduced in the Legislature, cleared the committee by a 8-1 vote two weeks ago, confirming one more time that lawmakers have descended into madness. Unless they regain their wits, reparations will break the state.

"But a return to reason is unlikely. Even though California was not a slave state, the Democratic side is all in. This was obvious in 2020 when they established a task force to study reparations.

" 'It appeared to me that the legislators were violating a fundamental rule of governance: Never create a commission to ‘study’ a controversial problem unless you are relatively certain that you’re going to want to follow its recommendations,” University of San Diego School of Law professor Gail Heriot wrote Monday on Instapundit. Yet it was clear “from the start” that the task force “appeared to be stacked in favor of reparations.”

"There’s a lot of political mileage to be gained for lawmakers in blue states who glom onto progressive initiatives that make no sense to centrists and exasperate conservatives and libertarians. Nowhere is this more true than in California, where bad ideas are birthed and then surge across the country, infecting other Democratic citadels. In terms of rank, reparations might be the worst of them all.

Joe Biden: worse than merely useless

 People should remember what Barack Obama and Robert Gates said about Joe Biden - Jack Hellner

"Summary: Every day, lies are spread through the media to interfere in our elections. They catch and kill truthful stories that are supportive of Trump and Republicans, and catch and kill negative stories about Biden and Democrats. They do not care about misinformation at all. They only care about power for Democrats and their destructive agenda to remake and destroy America."

. . ."Lie: Biden inherited a disastrous economy and his policies turned it around.

"Fact: The economy was soaring the last eight months of 2020, after a short two month recession, and inflation remained below 2%.

"Lies: The inflation was transitional; caused by supply chain disruptions; caused by the Russian war.

"Facts: Inflation was low throughout President Trump’s term despite COVID. It soared as soon as Biden took office. Biden campaigned on destroying the oil and other industries, and has focused on that destruction since day one. Biden sent the message to oil traders and producers throughout the world that we weren’t going to compete. Today crude oil remains over 100% higher than the day he was (s)elected. He compounded the inflation problem with all his spending programs, which focuses greatly on giving huge kickbacks to green pushers."

"The higher oil prices also have substantially helped Russia and Iran finance destruction; Biden further helped Iran and Russia by lifting sanctions Trump had imposed on the regimes.

"A good or intelligent president would fix things that he had screwed up and reverse course. That is not Biden. Results don’t matter, only the agenda—he is doubling down. He recently blocked LNG exports, which helps Russia and harms Europe; he also blocked drilling on 13 million acres in Alaska. It shows he doesn’t care about the destruction he is causing." . . .

Why can't Biden supporters name a single one of his accomplishments?!

Obama Gets Around to Commenting on Hamas at Columbia

 Jack Cashill - American Thinker  

As a fellow traveler in the world of Islam, Obama has had to work hard to keep his roots from showing. He has barely succeeded. In a lengthy statement in October, Obama made a few perfunctory remarks about the “unspeakable brutality” perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, but he reserved very nearly all his finger-wagging for Israel.

 . . ."In January 2018, as a way of promoting his new book, Muhammad shared with the world a photo he had taken in 2005 at a Black Congressional Caucus event. In the center of the photo is a smiling Barack Obama. Standing right next to him, also smiling broadly, is Nation of Islam honcho Louis Farrakhan. Sensing what might generously be called “bad optics,” a Black Caucus member stopped Muhammad even before he left the building.

“I gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy,” Muhammad admitted thirteen years later. “But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was president, it was kept under cover.”

"When asked whether he thought the photo, if revealed, would have made a difference in the 2008 campaign, Muhammad said, emphatically, “It absolutely would have made a difference.' ”. . . More below this next post.

Photographer Admits Burying Picture He Took of Obama With Farrakhan for Fear of Hurting Obama's Political Career (freebeacon.com)  "Says Congressional Black Caucus pressured him to keep picture secret"

. . ."Obama's past friendly relationships with radical figures like Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers dogged him during the 2008 campaign. Farrakhan has made anti-Semitic, anti-white and anti-gay statements during his career, and a published photo of the two smiling together likely would have stirred more controversy around his candidacy." . . .

. . . "As Columbia University’s most prominent alum, former president Barack Obama would seem to have a moral obligation to speak about what is arguably the most visible outbreak of antisemitism on American soil in his lifetime.

"I refer here to the occupation of Obama’s alma mater by Hamas-supporters who have been openly threatening Jewish students, chanting “Kill all Zionists,” and shouting racial slurs like “pig.”

"As I sat down to write this, five days into the protest, Obama had said not a word.

"By contrast, Obama was tweeting about the August 2017 Antifa/white nationalist brouhaha in Charlottesville, Virginia before the day was through." . . .

Amazon.com: Unmasking Obama: The Fight to Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency eBook : Cashill, Jack: Kindle Store

While the major media were spinning their collective fairy tale about the Obama presidency, the alternative conservative media—America’s “samizdat”—were telling the truth.
During the Obama years, an asymmetrical media war was waged to control the critical first draft of American history. There is no fair way to record that history without first acknowledging the war. The field of battle shaped up as follows: on the right, the alternative conservative media and the “responsible” right, occasionally working together, often working at odds; on the left, the mainstream media, the social media giants, Hollywood, Broadway, the federal bureaucracies, the national security apparatus, and what Ray Bradbury would call “firemen”—the virtual book burners, amateur and professional. Rarely at odds, these forces routinely worked together to amplify what Obama adviser Ben Rhodes famously called the White House’s “messaging campaign.” Money, resources, and power overwhelmingly favored the left, but the right had the equalizer on its side—the truth.

The World Is Paying Deadly Price For Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Legacy

 B.D. Hobbs - NewsRadio  

"In a series of bootlicking exchanges during a sit-down interview, former President Barack Obama and Democratic sycophant Stephen Colbert engaged in eye-rolling flirtatious banter. "“I just want to take a moment to drink you in for just a moment because I’m having to get used to looking at a President again' ” . . .

 "As the crisis in the Middle East continues, we are witnessing more and more of the consequences of former president Barack Obama's foreign policy legacy.

" 'I just think Obama came from a tradition that saw the world very differently, and saw America sort of as a colonialist power" said David Harsanyi, senior editor with The Federalist, "And for him, he doesn't really see any big moral difference between Iran and Israel."

"As bad as Bill Clinton was, he was still pro America on most key issues. But with Obama, that's when we got our first glimpse of the left's truly radical agenda, and the beginning of America 'last' from the Democrats and our own U.S. government.

"Barack Obama was focused on bolstering Iran and the Middle East. And now his foreign policy legacy has become Joe Biden's legacy as well.

" 'Biden wants to be loved by the party" Harsanyi told KTRH, "But he's made the anti-Israel people mad in the Democratic party, he's made pro-Israel people mad in his party. No one is listening to him, there's no coherent Middle East policy."

"If you remember, Donald Trump did more for Israel than any president in U.S. history. But just like with everything else, Joe Biden reversed it. Now the Democrats are openly boasting about their pro-Hamas support, while turning their backs on Israel."

The U.S. and the world is paying a deadly price for Barack Obama's foreign policy plan.

You Are Paying the Radicalization Machine; The anarchy on our campuses is sustained by your hard-earned tax dollars

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"Through no fault of your own, you are funding the subversion and destruction of the country you love, the country you will pass on to your children. The politicians you vote for and donate to have watched it happen, and they have happily signed over more of your tax dollars whenever they’re given the chance." . . .

Ian Macfarlane

"The anti-Israel protests on America’s elite university campuses have reached a fever pitch: On name-brand campuses across the country, students have occupied offices, set up encampments, and held daily demonstrations to protest the war in Gaza. Today, nearly 50 campus activists were arrested at Yale. Last week, more than 100 anti-Israel protesters were arrested at Columbia — and university administrators subsequently announced that they would be moving to online classes due to the chaos. Those moves only inflamed tensions further, unleashing “a wave of activism across a growing number of college campuses,” the New York Times reported on Monday. “In the days after the tents at Columbia came down, students at Yale, the University of Michigan and M.I.T. erected their own encampments in support of those arrested. By early Monday, New York University had become the latest protest site.”

"If onlookers are disturbed, they shouldn’t necessarily be surprised. None of the radicalism emanating from the nation’s most influential universities is new, nor is it confined to the issue of Israel-Palestine. That it has invited the level of outrage and scrutiny it has now — including from conservative megadonors who happily funneled cash to these elite radicalization machines for years — is preferable to the alternative; late is always better than never. But this most recent spate of upheavals did not materialize out of the blue. It is only the most recent culmination of an ideological corruption that has been decades in the making, often with the implicit assent of Republican politicians — and the active support of Republican university donors. As I wrote for the American Conservative back in late October: 

Hamas’s savage attacks are outrageous, as are the efforts to excuse or justify them. But so is the mass murder of unborn children in the womb. So is our open border. So is the radicalization of our universities, the carnage and violence on our city streets, and the systematic destruction of our history and heritage. That our conservative leaders have suddenly found their appetite for outrage is laudable, but it’s impossible to avoid wondering where it has been for the past decade…

Mark Steyn: Strolling While Jewish

Do Jewish women fear being raped by men shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and "I am Hamas!"? Hey, it happens. TD

SteynOnline   "Happy Passover, the holiday when American Jews attempt to pass over an Ivy League campus and British Jews attempt to pass over a Central London thoroughfare. Surveying the scene at Columbia, Powerline's Scott Johnson posts a picture of Nazis preventing Jews from entering the University of Vienna in 1938.

"We are enjoined not to go full Godwin's this early in the column, but the photograph prompted this thought: A century ago, the Jews of Germany were the most assimilated in Europe. They had prospered under the Kaiser, and seemed set to do even better in the Weimar Republic. They were industrialists, intellectuals, scientists, artists... A quarter of the thousand richest men in Prussia were Jews. As we heard on a pertinent Tale for Our Time, if you were an ambitious Jew born in the Bukovina or points east, you dreamed of Berlin and Vienna.

"And then...

"What Germany was to the Jews of a century ago, America is today. New York is the world's most Jewish city, and Brooklyn is famously the most Jewish place on earth, with more Jews than either Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. As in Germany, Jews are the businessmen, brain surgeons, physicists, film producers. I take it as read that the day is fast-approaching when London, Paris, Toronto, Copenhagen will be Jew-free. But New York?

"Well, it depends whether you think Jewish students being advised for their personal safety to leave Columbia University and take cover elsewhere is just an unfortunate one-off ...or whether America is amid a sea-change in its general attitude to Jews. As I wrote fifteen years ago:

"The Islamicization of Europe entails certain consequences, and it might be worth exploring what these might be. There are already many points of cultural friction—from British banks' abolition of children's "piggy banks" to the enjoining of public doughnut consumption by Brussels police during Ramadan.

"And yet on one issue there is remarkable comity between the aging ethnic Europeans and their young surging Muslim populations: A famous poll a couple of years back found that 59 per cent of Europeans regard Israel as the greatest threat to world peace." . . .

Democrats Want Donald Trump 'Killed,' Legal Analyst Warns

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

This reads like an MSNBC headline: Democrats Want Donald Trump 'Killed,' Legal Analyst Warns (msn.com)    "Legal analyst Alan Dershowitz warned on Sunday about newly introduced legislation that would strip felons of Secret Service protection, saying that Democrats want former President Donald Trump "killed."

"Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, brought forth the "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act"—or the DISGRACED Act—on Friday that would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals convicted of either state or local felonies.

"Trump is specifically mentioned by Thompson as someone whose protection privileges would be affected should he be found guilty as the former president faces four criminal indictments. Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, became the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case that began on Monday.

"Following an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, Trump was indicted in March 2023 on charges of falsifying business records relating to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Daniels alleges that she had an affair with Trump in 2006, which he has denied. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and said the case against him is politically motivated.

"In a Sunday interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz, a member of Trump's legal team during his first impeachment in 2020 who is also a constitutional law and criminal lawyer, discussed the legislation, which is co-sponsored by eight Democratic representatives." . . .

Lawyer up, Republicans - Either start suing Biden or shut the hell up.

 Don Surber (substack.com)

Where are the Republicans? Where are their lawyers challenging this unconstitutional giveaway to the higher education industry?

"Late Friday night, Sarah Parshall Perry of the Heritage Foundation wrote, “The Department of Education just released its long-delayed Title IX rule—a rewrite of the 50-year-old civil rights law so vast that it promises to turn Title IX’s guarantee of sex equality in education completely upside down.

“Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is all of a single sentence. It simply bars sex discrimination in any federally funded education program. It does not matter how much federal funding a school or institution of higher education receives. And it does not matter whether such funding from the federal government is direct or indirect. So yes, even the vast majority of private schools must comply with the rule.

" 'But this simple longstanding prohibition on sex discrimination has been manipulated by the Biden administration to both undermine constitutional freedoms—like the freedom of speech—and erase the very women that Title IX was enacted to protect.”

"Most of the attention to this unconstitutional legislation by a president — not Congress — has focused on turning over women’s sports to trannies and drag queens.

"But Biden’s Law — and hold him, not bureaucrats, responsible for this travesty of justice — also strips men accused of rape of their rights to due process and the presumption of innocence.

"She’s a lawyer and she ended her column on a positive note: “The Independent Women’s Law Center has already indicated it is readying a lawsuit against the Department of Education. Others are likely to follow. Let’s hope so.' ” . . .
