Christian Veteran Now Facing Hate Crime Charge for Toppling Satanic Display

 The former Navy pilot is looking at 5 years in prison thanks to Soros-backed D.A. | Frontpage Mag

"FrontPage Mag readers may recall that back in December I wrote about Michael Cassidy, a conservative Christian and former Navy pilot who tore down a Satanic altar competing with a Christmas display of the Nativity in the Iowa State Capitol. Originally charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, Cassidy was subsequently hit with a hate crime charge by Polk County Democrat Attorney Kimberly Graham, a prosecutor funded by – surprise – left-wing billionaire financier George Soros. Cassidy is now looking at a possible five years in prison.

"As reported by Ben Zeisloft at The Republic Sentinel, the far-left ideologue Graham has received over $300,000 in campaign contributions from the Justice and Public Safety PAC, a Soros-funded entity:

Graham campaigned on decreasing racial disparities in prosecution and has since introduced drug diversion programs during her first year in office. The official has voiced numerous leftist views on social media: she wished that George Floyd would “rest in power” on the day police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted, as well as claimed that crime prevention involves “tackling environmental racism” and said that “cash bail makes our communities less safe.”

“ 'After accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from George Soros, Iowa prosecutor Kimberly Graham is now pushing what appears to be a politically motivated ‘hate crime’ enhancement in a conservative-leaning midwestern state,” stated Cassidy’s attorney Davis Younts, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, in an interview with The Sentinel.

“The addition of a hate crime enhancement means that our client is facing the possibility of a felony conviction,” Younts added. “We believe that the application of the enhancement is not appropriate in this case.” . . .

Egypt's Duplicity, the World's Silence

 Gatestone Institute 

Evidently the Egyptians would rather see the Gazans starve; then, the international community, as usual, would hold only Israel responsible. Pictured: Egyptian army soldiers stand guard at the Rafah crossing on Egypt's border with the Gaza Strip 

. . ."By turning a blind eye to its widespread smuggling industry, Egypt significantly contributed to transforming the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip into a major base for Islamist terrorism.

"If the Egyptians actually cared about the Palestinians, instead of blocking the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip, they could easily coordinate with Israel though alternative border crossings such as the nearby Kerem Shalom terminal.

"The Egyptians, however, are refusing to send aid to the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom border crossing. For the past week, the Egyptians have been blocking aid to the Gaza Strip by refusing to coordinate the entry of truckloads through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom border crossings.

"The Egyptians appear to be playing the "humanitarian aid card" to pressure Israel to stop the war on Hamas. They seem to believe, perhaps correctly, that by blocking the aid to the Palestinians, the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip will escalate and the world will blame Israel, not Hamas or Egypt, for the ongoing suffering of the people there. Evidently the Egyptians would rather see the Gazans starve; then, the international community, as usual, would hold only Israel responsible.

"That is the real problem: Where is the demand from the international community for Egypt to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip? Where are social media posts, the US college campus protests, and the op-eds condemning Egypt for deliberately withholding aid from Gaza's Palestinians?

"Why doesn't the Biden administration pressure Egypt, and not just Israel, to allow aid to enter Gaza for the Palestinians?

"Instead of pressuring Israel in order to avoid targeting Hamas terrorists in Rafah, US President Joe Biden could have already been on the phone with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to urge him to assist his Palestinian brethren." . . .

Jews are figuring out that Biden and the Democrats are not their friends

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

"Although the number of Muslims in the U.S. is growing fast (and will grow faster if Biden has his way), as of 2020, Jews still outnumbered Muslims (2.4% of the population versus 1.1% of the population). By putting all his eggs in the Muslim basket, Biden may have committed a fatal election error...or at least, I hope he has."  AW

. . ."In almost all American Jewish households, every adult member is a college graduate, with each subsequent generation more radicalized than the one that came before. For sixty years, Jews have been drinking deeply from the leftism that permeates academia. They are in the forefront of the ideology and seated in the front of every classroom. I think that’s very sad, but it’s also the truth. (It’s also why we’re seeing East Asian Indians shift left in their politics as they go through the same radicalizing process.)

"But the one thing that dogs the Jews, always, is their fear of another Holocaust. Ultimately, it overrides all other considerations, and what they’re finally figuring out is that it’s the Democrat party that is actively calling for their deaths on college campuses and passively planning for their deaths via Joe Biden’s pro-Hamas and pro-Iran policies. And so—finally—the stiff-necked people may be coming around:" . . .

My Day with Cornell Protestors: Antisemitism, Denial, and Ignorance

 Susan D. Harris - American Thinker

There are many who still associate the black and white keffiyeh with former Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) head Yasser Arafat.  It’s a statement of solidarity that’s hard to stomach when transposed onto American campuses; especially for those of us old enough to remember its long history of turmoil and terrorism. 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

. . ."Nearly fifty years on, everyone’s favorite contemporary activist, Greta Thunberg, has similarly been filmed chanting “crush Zionism,” and was recently detained for protesting Israel’s participation in a European song competition while wrapped in a keffiyeh that’s almost larger than she is.

"Back at Cornell, I’m watching similarly deluded ivy league college students dancing and laughing as they adjust their keffiyehs and fervently pound nails into a large “Hands off Rafah” sign they’ve been building.

"I ask one of the leaders of the group if she knows where Rafah is; I can tell by the confused look on her face that she doesn’t have a clue.  The only thing she can tell me is that “they’ve evacuated innocent Palestinians there and Israel is going to attack it and kill them.”

"Obviously these students are ignorant or don’t care that Rafah is considered the final outpost of Hamas; it’s where the terror masterminds are suspected to be holed up with their fighting brigades, and where the remaining hostages (including Americans) – both alive and dead – are believed to be held.  (Hope Forum, a group which represents some of the hostage families, has criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu for his delay in “conquering Rafah and rescuing [their] loved ones…”)

"It’s clear that Israel cannot win the war without going into Rafah.  And sadly, that’s a fact that President Biden knows too, so why would his administration decide to stop sending weapons to the Jewish state?  Esteemed Israeli journalist Caroline Glick wondered the same thing as she concluded that Biden’s recent actions were symbolically saying: “I have totally betrayed Israel and I am totally betraying the Jews.”  She added, “It also tells all of the antisemitic rioters on campus that violence pays … not only will you not be punished for it you will be rewarded.  I am going to answer your demands that the United States betray Israel and stand with the people who massacred [on October 7].” . . .

The Gloves Will Come Off In A Second Biden Term

"As horrendous as these border crossing numbers are now, in a second Biden term, these figures will only further be exacerbated as the Democrat Party looks to import millions of likely new voters without a care in the world for what it will do to our cities. The lack of respect that Biden and the Democrat Party have for the citizens of this country knows no bounds."

It’s hard to imagine that anyone who didn’t hate our country would deliberately continue to take us even further towards the path of self destruction than Biden. David Keltz   "If you believe, correctly, that the entirety of Joe Biden’s presidency has been one unmitigated disaster after another—not only for the American citizenry, but for the United States’ standing on the world stage and for our allies around the globe who have embraced the cause of freedom and religious liberty—fasten your seatbelts, because you haven’t seen anything yet.

"If you believe, correctly, that under Biden we are no longer a country that has any interest in securing our border, curbing inflationary spending and excessive taxation, bringing down the price of energy, ridding our institutions of disastrous DEI initiatives, and returning our education standards to one that embraces merit, respect for our Founding Fathers, and our Constitution—brace yourselves, because we may be nearing the point of no return if we aren’t already there.

"If you believe, correctly, that in the first three and a half years of Biden’s presidency we have turned our back on America’s greatest ally in the Middle East, failed to come anywhere close to holding the Mullahs accountable for their belligerent behavior towards the U.S. and the Jewish state, and have done next to nothing to instill any sort of fear or deterrence to the nefarious grand visions of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping—just wait, because the current chaos we’re seeing across the world will seem rather tame for what may be in store in the not so distant future.

"If, God forbid, Biden finds a way to end up back in the Oval Office come high noon on January 20, 2025, the gloves will be completely ripped off." . . .

Biden doesn't believe he's polling behind Trump -Axios - Monica Showalter

. . ."Two things can be immediately surmised from this obviously deluded president.

"One, that he must be confident he can rig and cheat his way to victory, same as he did last time. There is something to this, as swing-state Democrats in gubernatorial and secretary of state positions have been making maneuvers to do just that, though their odds of succeeding are longer.

"Two, Biden must be convinced the American public doesn't care about gas prices, grocery inflation, the rate hikes that make home-buying impossible for the young, soaring health care insurance rates, credit card debt, depleted 401(k)s, wokester garbage taught in schools, a woke greenie military, crime without consequences, retail establishments shutting down, city services cut to pay for illegals, and the wide open border." . . .

Courage begets courage on campus

"Antisemitism has spread like wildfire on our campuses as pro-Hamas rallies enter their sixth month.  Encampments where students say they will not leave until their universities agree to stand in solidarity with Hamas mimic how Nazis blocked Jewish students from entering their colleges."

History gives us conviction and guidance - Julia Campbell

Ripples make a wave, and small acts of courage gain momentum for great ones.  And afterward, maybe 80 years from now, someone will look at your actions and be spurred to fight the good fight and finish the race.

. . ."Today, as we watch ravaging antisemitism and the defacing of the American flag on university campuses, prevalent examples in history of courage and bravery should spur us to respond.

"In 1942, German medical student Hans Scholl was awakened to the persecution of Jews in the Western world.  While serving on the Eastern Front, Scholl and his war buddies, Willi Graf and Alexander Schmorell, witnessed firsthand the Nazis’ murder of innocent Polish Jewish civilians.

"Scholl committed to exposing the evil being done against the Jewish population.  Together with Graf, Schmorell, Sophia Scholl, and Christoph Probst, he began secretly planting pamphlets on the campus of the University of Munich in Germany.  This small resistance group titled themselves The White Rose" The leaflets appealed to college students, as they contained references to German literature while, on a deeper level, integrating Christian religious teaching, the bedrock of all morality.  This was a way of changing minds, of getting readers to understand the actions of the Nazis and the students’ duty to resist them.  The White Roses did not rally ignorant mobs together in the façade of a “protest.” 

"However, those who take courageous actions must be prepared for consequences.  On February 22, 1934, Hans, Sophie, and Christoph were arrested, interrogated, and beheaded.  Let it be said of these three noble Christians, “And others had trials of mockeries and stripes ... of whom the world was not worthy” (Hebrews 11:36, 38).  Though their efforts seemed to have lasted only a few months, their rewards are eternal." . . .

"Let these actions of courage and patriotism be an encouragement as well as a charge to us all.  May we not just say, “If I had been there, I would have stood up to racism and Jew-hatred.”  The reality is that we are there, and we must muster the courage we claim.  There are many ways to resist the lies and violence taking place today.  This could be by hosting a prayer vigil, taking to social media to share facts and support, or engaging in conversation with those who support Hamas.  Ripples make a wave, and small acts of courage gain momentum for great ones.  And afterward, maybe 80 years from now, someone will look at your actions and be spurred to fight the good fight and finish the race."

"The White Rose Leaflets" Revolt & Resistancewww.HolocaustResearchProject.org

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans (nationalww2museum.org)   "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose movement, while less known to Americans, is a powerful example of youthful resistance to the Nazi Regime.

Sophie and her friends were so far above the useful idiots programmed by the Nazis and their "Free Free" scarf bots on campus, chanting phrases given to them by their superiors. TD

The White Rose Hans and Sophie Scholl  Heroes you should know. Germany had people like the Scholls; do you think there are any in Gaza? 

Normal Americans understand that Israel is the good guy in the current fight and that Hamas is the bad guy*.

"Today’s brainwashed students (much like the German students brainwashed by Nazi propaganda) have been indoctrinated by radical Palestinian professors like Rashid Khalidi and Joseph Massad (at Columbia University) and the anti-Israel legacy of Edward Said.  They are funded by Marxist donors and Arab money and led by domestic and foreign agitators who harass Jewish students with impunity." 

The world loves dead Jews but hates living ones - Joseph Puder   "Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Memorial Day, was solemnly memorialized at Yad Vashem last Sunday, a particularly sad day in light of the October 7, 2023 massacres, which marked the largest toll of Jewish-Israelis murdered in a single day since the Holocaust.

"Holocaust commemorations took place in the shadow of widespread antisemitism and calls for genocide on campuses throughout the U.S. and the Western world, shattering the confidence that Jew-hatred is a thing of the past.

"In an interview on Yom HaShoah with Aharon Barak on Israeli TV, the retired former president of Israel’s Supreme Court, and a Holocaust survivor, was asked if he thought a Holocaust could happen again in our time.  He unhesitatingly responded with a decisive yes.  He pointed out that as late as 1939, in his native Kovno, Lithuania, no one would have believed that within a short time, the most horrific genocide in world history would take place." . . .

"The current U.S. administration is reluctant to enforce laws against blind hatred, which is antisemitism.  In a recent speech, President Biden drew moral equivalency between antisemitism and Islamophobia.  While the only hate on U.S. campuses is that being  directed at Jews, Biden opted to placate the pro-Hamas crowds by inserting Islamophobia where there is none, regrettably showing that political considerations rather than moral imperatives are guiding him.

"While memorializing dead Jews in his speech at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., Biden correctly reminded Americans and others just how fast the Hamas atrocities of October 7 have been forgotten.  However, at the same time, his administration has delayed sending approved military supplies to the living Jews of Israel.  Biden is no antisemite, but many in his party are.  They simply hate a strong and living Jewish state.  To that, Israelis respond with am Yisrael chai — “the people of Israel live.”

Let these actions of courage and patriotism be an encouragement as well as a charge to us all. May we not just say, “If I had been there, I would have stood up to racism and Jew-hatred.” The reality is that we are there, and we must muster the courage we claim.    . . ."One of the tactics of these pro-Hamas encampments has been to tear down American flags, sometimes burning them, and then hoist the Palestinian flag on poles and statues.  Those who support Hamas are also open about their hate for America as they chant “Death to America” at their protests.  In a contrasting display of strength, a group of young men at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill raised the star-spangled banner after it had shamefully been torn down.  After resisting the mob and replacing the flag, the young men began to sing the National Anthem in honor of what our flag represents.  In the days that followed, the presence of patriotism in resistance to terrorism grew as counter-protesters challenged pro-Hamas rallies at Ole Miss and the University of Alabama." . . .

"In a letter dated April 8, 2024, addressed to Chief Judge Swain of New York, Ashley Biden, daughter of Joe Biden, confirmed the authenticity of her previously ‘stolen’ diary.

"The diary, which has sparked considerable public and media attention due to Joe Biden’s perverted acts, became a subject of controversy when excerpts were leaked online.

"Ashley Biden’s letter, obtained by the New York Times, was submitted as part of a judicial proceeding against Aimee Harris, one of the individuals convicted of ‘stealing’ and selling her personal journal.

In her correspondence, Ashely Biden expressed profound distress over the theft and subsequent public dissemination of her private thoughts, which she described as “stream-of-consciousness” musings meant for personal healing.

She defended the content of her diary, saying it was “grossly misinterpreted” and “lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”

October 7 rape deniers need to see truth

Sheryl Sandberg (nypost.com)  "Sheryl Sandberg’s new film, “Screams Before Silence” marks a return to public life for the former Facebook boss.

"It’s a harrowing watch in which Israeli women testify about being raped and taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

"Witnesses tell Sandberg in graphic terms how they were forced to look on as women were assaulted, mutilated and murdered."

Pictured below: which of these two people are supported and cheered by the scarf people on college campuses? Hint: you see them wearing the trendy scarves before TV cameras and asking people to feed them vegan food, tents, blankets, and water to spare them from dying of thirst. TD

. . ."The sight of Naama’s pajama bottoms, drenched in blood at the back, was the first clear sign that Hamas was using sexual violence as a weapon of war.

" 'They’re grabbing her by the hair, and she’s all, like, messed up and like, and I’m thinking of her hair, and like, in my mind I’m stroking her hair, like I’m always doing,” Levy Sachar tells Sandberg in the film of her daughter’s kidnapping. Levy is presumed to still be Hamas hostage.

“ 'We would like to think that this couldn’t be possible. That nobody would harm a young girl. But then you just see it there,” adds Levy Sachar." . . .

15 Witnesses, Three Confessions, a Pattern of Naked Dead Bodies. All the Evidence of Hamas Rape on October 7 - Israel News - Haaretz.com

"Hamas' acts of rape on October 7 have turned into one of the massacre's most contentious topics. Each testimony and detail that emerges is weaponized in the clash between Israel's supporters and its opponents. Now, based on conversations with dozens of sources, a Haaretz investigation delineates which proof exists for sex crimes committed by Hamas – and what is missing."

Sapir and Yura, two young people who hid together in the area of the party, told The New York Times that they had seen a number of gang rapes and murders of women, and testified that they had witnessed acts of sexual organs being mutilated. Raz Cohen, who hid next to Highway 232, told a series of media outlets, including Israel's Kan 11 and the Times, that he had seen gang rape and murder. Shoham Gueta provided supporting testimony of this. The Sunday Times in Britain published testimony of another individual, named Yoni Saadon, who told the paper he had seen gang rape and the murder of a woman.

And, as Douglas Murray testified, the Arabs did all this rape and murder with glee.

Hey Google, Antisemitism Is A Feature, Not A Bug, Of The Left

Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

"Google employees teaching its AI and Hamas-supporting students chanting genocidal slogans such as “from the river to the sea” have been fed a steady diet of anti-Israel propaganda by leftist teachers and professors."

. . ."The New York Post reached out to Google, and was told that the non-answers about the slaughter of 6 million Jews were “not intended.”

"Then the Google spokesperson said: “We’ve taken immediate action to fix this bug.”

. . ."Google’s inability to answer a question that most schoolchildren know the answer to was not a “bug.” It was not the result of some innocent coding error, or the work of a rogue programmer. It was the result of intentional biases fed into the program by teams of woke Google staff and management.

"Google’s AI was taught to respond in a blatantly biased way when asked about Jews. It’s the same reason Google’s AI produced such comically inept images, such as black Confederate soldiers, which forced its CEO to admit that its AI was crazily biased.

"Google’s antisemitism might come as a surprise to many, as have the pro-Hamas campus protests. But that’s just because people haven’t been paying attention.

"The left has an antisemitic streak that runs long and deep and that the mainstream media has long covered up by pretending that only right-wingers are antisemites.

"Philip Spencer, an emeritus professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Kingston University, wrote in the Guardian six years ago — when Britain’s Labour Party was dealing with an antisemitism scandal — that “The current antisemitism crisis on the left has not come out of nowhere. Instead, it has its roots in a tradition on the left itself, which, at best, has always had difficulty in responding swiftly to antisemitism and, at worst, excused or condoned, even promoted it.”

"Will Marshall, president of the Progressive Policy Institute, pointed out just over a month ago in The Hill that: “The core of this new antisemitism lies in the idea that Jews are not a historically oppressed people seeking self-preservation but instead oppressors: imperialists, colonialists, and even white supremacists.” . . .

"In perhaps the dumbest political move in decades, the president recently pledged to cut off arms shipments to Israel while demanding they not enter Rafah to finish off Hamas.

'Would Strengthen Hamas' -- Cameron Says UK Will Continue Arming Israel (breitbart.com)  "In an interview on Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips Show, Foreign Minister David Cameron said that cutting off weapons shipments to Israel is “not a wise path” noting that the last time he faced public pressure to do so “a few days later there was a massive Iranian attack on Israel, including 140 cruise missiles.”

“ 'If I announced that today, it might help me get through this television interview, but actually it would strengthen Hamas. It would weaken Israel,” Lord Cameron said.
