If You Could Only Watch One Video About Islam, PLEASE Let It Be This One... (EPIC Speech)

FINISH HIM: Byron Donalds Claps Back HARD on Hakeem Jeffries Over Jim Crow Comments

  Twitchy   "The Democrats are desperate about Joe Biden's numbers with black voters and it is REALLY starting to show. Biden can't afford to lose even a few percentage points from that demographic and win re-election. Right now, he seems to be losing WAY more than a few percentage points. 

"We won't go into all of the reasons why. You know them all. From the horrible economy to the erasure of women in favor of the gender cult, it is easy to see why black voters would be leaving Biden in droves. 

"But it is pretty hilarious to watch them try to grasp at straws to trick those voters into coming back. 

"This is where Byron Donalds and Hakeem Jeffries come in. This week, Donalds -- who may be on Trump's short list for vice president -- was campaigning for Trump at a fundraiser in Philadelphia. There, he made many observations about black families and the media latched on to one of them. 

. . ." The whole article from The Hill is pretty biased, as you would expect, but we do give reporter Lauren Irwin credit for providing Donalds' full quote for context: 

During the conversation, the first-term lawmaker said he is starting to see the 'reinvigoration' of Black families, adding that it is 'helping to breathe the revival of a Black middle class in America.' Donalds also claimed that the nuclear family — or one with a mother, father and children living under the same roof — and its values have been eroded by Democrats and lost among Black voters after they supported the party following the Civil Rights Movement, the outlet reported.

'You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together. During Jim Crow, more Black people were not just conservative — Black people have always been conservative-minded — but more people voted conservatively,' Donalds said.  . . .

D-Day honored.

"Eighty years since D-Day.  The youngest soldier storming ashore that day would be 98 today.  Only slightly more than 100,000 of the gallant souls who made up the sixteen million Americans who served in uniform in the Great Crusade, in Ike’s phrase, are still with us.  Time is doing what the forces of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan could not do.  All too soon World War II will slip from living memory.  Very sad and very inevitable.  This fact makes it incumbent upon us to remember what they did, especially the silent victors who never came home from that War.

"They have been called the greatest generation.  I am sure that most of them would reject that title, maybe putting in a vote for the generation that won the American Revolution or the generation that fought the Civil War.  Modesty has been a hallmark of their generation." . . .

In Portland, the Intifada Begins in Kindergarten

 Lucianne.com News Forum


"Portland, Oregon, has earned its reputation as America’s most radical city. Its public school system was an early proponent of left-wing racialism and has long pushed students toward political activism. As with the death of George Floyd four years ago, the irruption of Hamas terrorism in Israel has provided Portland’s public school revolutionaries with another cause du jour: now they’ve ditched the raised fist of Black Lives Matter and traded it in for the black-and-white keffiyeh of Palestinian militants.

"I have obtained a collection of publicly accessible documents produced by the Portland Association of Teachers, an affiliate of the state teachers’ union that encourages its more than 4,500 members to “Teach Palestine!” (The union did not respond to a request for comment.)

"The lesson plans are steeped in radicalism, and they begin teaching the principles of “decolonization” to students as young as four and five years old. For prekindergarten kids, the union promotes a workbook from the Palestinian Feminist Collective, which tells the story of a fictional Palestinian boy named Handala. “When I was only ten years old, I had to flee my home in Palestine,” the boy tells readers. “A group of bullies called Zionists wanted our land so they stole it by force and hurt many people.” Students are encouraged to come up with a slogan that they can chant at a protest and complete a maze so that Handala can “get back home to Palestine”—represented as a map of Israel.

"Other pre-K resources include a video that repeats left-wing mantras, including “I feel safe when there are no police,” and a slideshow that glorifies the Palestinian intifada, or violent resistance against Israel." . . .

What those who accept the ‘stolen land’ myth don’t understand - JNS.org  "Woke culture demands ritual acknowledgements about Native Americans. Those, however, who think this should also apply to Palestinians don’t understand that Jews are indigenous in Israel." . . .

The Destructive Generation—Proving America’s Weakest Link ; Victor Davis Hanson

 American Greatness  A single generation has broken apart the great chain of American civilizational continuance.

Worse, the more elite the campuses, the more they became hotbeds of unapologetic anti-Semitism, gratuitous violence, and hatred for the country’s very institutions that guarantee their own freedom of action and speech. Who taught them and allowed them to think that as they illegally occupied buildings, defaced and defiled monuments, and shouted Jew hatred, they were absurdly entitled to free food deliveries and amnesties? 

Johannah King-Slutzky, a PhD student at the university, said: 'Like, could
people please have a glass of water?' 

"Governor Ronald Reagan, in his 1967 inaugural address, famously remarked, “Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction.”

"Reagan today might have expanded on his theme by declaring that civilization itself is both fragile and can lost by a generation that recklessly spends its inheritance while neither appreciating nor replenishing it—if not ridiculing those who sacrificed so much to provide it.

"Such is the noxious epitaph of the Baby Boomer generation that is now passing after a half-century of preeminence and whose Jacobin agendas have nearly wrecked the nation they inherited.

"In contrast to them, eighty years ago this week, the Allied powers of World War II—chiefly the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada—landed on five Normandy beaches to begin what Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied expeditionary forces, would call the great “crusade” to liberate Western Europe from four years of brutal Nazi occupation.

"The plan was to land within a few hours and in stormy weather well over 150,000 Americans, British, and Canadians on the Atlantic Coast beaches of France, where they were to charge directly into the fire of tens of thousands of enemy troops. They were to charge uphill in the sand while being fired upon by entrenched German troops occupying the hills above. From there, the beachhead was to serve as the launching pad for two million more troops, who were to somehow drive eastward through France and into Germany to end the war and the devastation the Third Reich had inflicted on the world.

"All that was accomplished in the ensuing 11 months. That can-do American generation assumed that impoverished teenagers emerging from the Great Depression, with equipment often inferior to their seasoned German enemies, would, over the ensuing months, surely prove able to route Waffen SS veterans. Many of them were hastily transferred from the murderous Eastern Front, such as the nihilist 2nd SS Panzer Division das Reich (“The Empire”). No matter, the Americans did the impossible in less than a year—from the Normandy beaches to well across the Rhine River." . . .

. . ."All that was now characteristic of a generation that learned in the 1960s that if it did not get its way, it would wreck what it could not control. So, it was logical that it sought to pack the court, to end the filibuster, to destroy the Electoral College—and to corrupt the law to achieve political ends. Or as the Sixties generation taught us, “by any means necessary”—an arrogant affirmation of Machiavelli’s dictum that “the ends justify the means.” . . .

. . ."The next witness was Zoe Kestan, a former romantic partner of Biden. She testified that she met him on Dec. 17, 2017, when she worked at a strip club in midtown Manhattan and he booked her and another woman for a private dance. Biden played the music by the indie folk band Fleet Foxes on his phone — and he smoked something she assumed was crack.

"I felt really safe around him,” she said.

"She saw him again a week later, and they stayed together for five days at the Soho Grand hotel. He typically smoked crack every 20 minutes, she testified, and he was “just so charming and so nice. At the time, I felt myself having feelings for him.”

"They remained involved over the following months, and traveled to California in the spring of 2018. He continued using crack frequently, Kestan said.

"During her testimony, prosecutors showed photos from her phone that included crack pipes. One photo showed Biden in a bathtub holding a crack pipe." . . .

. . ."Cleveland said he saw Biden fill out the entire part of the form he was required to fill, including when he checked a box answering “no” to the question about drug use or addiction. He said Biden offered his passport as the requisite identification, and that he took it to the back of the store and showed it to the shop’s owner and another salesman, since it was his first time using a passport as a buyer’s identification. The other salesperson told Cleveland that they needed identification with Biden’s address, like a vehicle registration. That salesperson, Jason Turner, then handled Biden’s background check and filled out the part of the form that the gun store is required to handle. Turner used red ink for portions of the form, Cleveland said." . . .

Is the press preparing for the exit of Joe Biden?

 Well it won't be his fanboy Joe Scarborough;  ‘The best Biden ever’ - Washington Examiner;   "On his MSNBC program Wednesday, former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough launched an impassioned and aggressive defense of President Joe Biden — specifically, of Biden’s mental fitness to serve a second term as president. Scarborough’s performance was an attempt to show that the best defense is a good offense: In Scarborough’s view, the 81-year-old Biden is not only not declining cognitively, but he’s absolutely the best he’s ever been. And to majorities of voters, both Democrats and Republicans, who believe the president is not up to a second term, Scarborough had a simple message: “F*** you.' ” . . .

"In sum: "There’s one last possibility. Scarborough didn’t exactly say Biden
is super sharp. He said Biden is the best he, Biden, has ever been, intellectually and analytically. In light of that, remember the words of former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Robert Gates, who in 2014 wrote that Biden “
has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Certainly Biden’s handling of some of the key events of his presidency has done nothing to prove Gates wrong. In that sense, it might be fair to argue that Biden is as wrong as he has ever been. He could arguably be “the best Biden ever,” but that still wouldn’t be very good."

. . ."I think that's probably the main takeaway here. The White House has been trying to sell us on the idea that Biden is better off camera than on, but this story suggests that's not true. The overall picture is of an older man who has moments of lucidity during which he is like his old self and other moments where he seems to trail off, mumble, talk quietly and forget the details. In other words, the same stuff we've all seen him do when he speaks in public." . . .

The Biden Disaster for Democrats, and the Cataclysmic Political Realignment of Young Voters -William Sullivan

None of this is rocket science, and while both parties are responsible for these circumstances to some extent, young people wanting to launch their careers and lives are undoubtedly beginning to long for the days when the economy was unmistakably stronger before the pandemic, and when a senile old man wasn’t telling them that all of their problems would be solved if he’s able to unconstitutionally take money from the plumbers and truck drivers among them to pay off a small portion of the loans taken out by the college students among them.

"That’s not just because he’s got all the wrong principles. It’s not just because he has effectively set America’s foreign policy on fire, while also lighting the jet fuel under the inflationary economy that Americans have been suffering through." . . .

'National security issue': Ex-WH doctor raises alarms on Biden's mental health after bombshell report | Fox News   "A former White House physician turned Republican lawmaker says President Biden's mental fitness is a matter of "national security."

"The article's just documenting what I've been saying all along: he's not fit to be the commander-in-chief," Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "He's got significant issues, he shouldn't have the job. You know, it's a national security issue for us."

"It comes after a bombshell report in The Wall Street Journal that cited interviews with 45 people over the course of several months, claiming that congressional leaders and others who have met with Biden have noticed he "appears slower now" and is "someone who has both good moments and bad ones." 

"Before being elected to Congress, Jackson served as the top White House physician to former Presidents Obama and Trump. He also served as chief medical adviser for the latter."

Never Vote for Democrats, Period!

 Ed Brodow - American Thinker  

District attorneys refuse to prosecute criminals. “The people whose job it is to make you safe are instead making it easier for criminals to terrorize your family,” said Tucker Carlson. 


 “It is virtually impossible to identify a realm in which Democrats are wreaking anything but havoc, division, and devastation,” said Deroy Murdock in the New York Post. Today’s Democratic Party is not the party of your parents and grandparents. The Democrats have abandoned traditional values in favor of a neo-Marxist philosophy. Their values are those of Venezuela and Cuba. Wherever those values have been embraced, we have witnessed economic disaster and personal tragedy on a massive scale.

“ 'The power of the state exists first and foremost to protect the rights of the individual,” Bret Stephens wrote in the New York Times. The Democrat Party supports big government and the Deep State at the expense of the individual. This threatens to transform America into a totalitarian nightmare. That is why we need to vote the Democrats out of power.

"Today’s Democrat Party militates for increased governmental control over every aspect of our lives; limitations on free speech and freedom of the press; replacement of capitalism with socialism; replacing meritocracy with race-based criteria; a reduction of American power and influence; and a dysfunctional version of social justice.

"If Democrats succeed in supplanting capitalism with socialism, the middle class will be taxed out of existence. The incentive to achieve will disappear, as it has in parts of Europe. When the productive segment of our population has had enough, they will pack up and leave and America will turn into Venezuela. This is already happening in California.

"The Democrat Party has embraced violence as its modus operandi. With the complicity of elected Democrat officials, our nation has descended into rampant lawlessness. Criminals are released without bail so they can repeat their offenses. District attorneys refuse to prosecute criminals. “The people whose job it is to make you safe are instead making it easier for criminals to terrorize your family,” said Tucker Carlson." . . .

9000 "bodies" displayed on Normandy beach to remember D-day

9000 Human Silhouettes Drawn On The Normandy Beaches To Promote World Peace (Photo Gallery) (technocrazed.com)


To celebrate the International Peace Day, two artists have drawn nearly 9000 silhouettes  on the sand of Arromanches beach in Normandy. These 9,000 silhouettes represent the soldiers who had died during the WW2 during normandy landings in 1944, a grim reminder to the horrors of war. 

British artist Jamie Wardley (website Sand In Your Eye) and Andy Moss  had the innovative idea to do a project on Aromanches beach in Normandy in order to celebrate the International Peace Day. For the occasion, they used stencils to draw the 9000 silhouettes representing all the soldiers who had died during the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. In order to accomplish this gigantic task the team sought the help of 60 volunteers and several hundred people inspired by the project.

. . .”This is an example of what happens in the absence of peace and it is a visual representation to help us understand the loss of 9,000 men,” says Jamie Wardley on his website. It is true that this surreal vision of 9000 dead bodies lying on the sand body gives us a food for thought. The artwork existed only a few hours as then the sea covers the entire range and clears the tracks. What do you think of this initiative, which pays tribute to the victims of landing and promotes peace in the world?"

The real threat to democracy: Alvin Bragg

"The best that Democrats can get out of this is to call Trump a “convicted felon,” which they’re currently working to death. As usual, they don’t know how to phrase things. A felon is a felon, making “convicted” is redundant. For example, in Democrat talk, Hunter Biden is an “unconvicted felon.' ”  Christopher Garbacz


Interference: Bragg's Office Demands Trump Gag Order Remain In Place – HotAir   "The trial concluded nearly a week ago. The jurors have gone home, as have the witnesses. Stormy Daniels has taken her act on the road, literally, and publicly advising Melania Trump to leave her husband now that he's a convict. Both Daniels and Alvin Bragg's star witness Michael Cohen have declared publicly that Donald Trump should get prison time, with Cohen demanding "solitary confinement" for the crime of falsely entering business records. 

"With all of the witnesses making their case public, the only person who can't comment is ... Donald Trump himself. Judge Juan Merchan didn't lift the gag order Thursday after recording the guilty verdict, and has yet to respond to a defense motion to vacate it so Trump can respond to the public criticism. 

"And if prosecutors get their way, Trump will remain gagged until just before the Republican convention:" . . .

Judge Merchan may need to rethink his obvious desire to imprison Trump - Christopher Garbacz  "Judge Merchan seems to have no alternative but to sentence Trump to jail, given the obvious fact that Merchan and his rabid constituents are inflamed by the enormity of Trump’s conviction on thirty-four felony counts. However, there are problems that place the judge between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Here are some possible issues:

"What if the Republican convention is moved forward to, say, July 4th to be convened at Mar-A-Lago? Trump would be chosen as the Republican nominee for President. Then, Merchan would be sentencing the Republican nominee for President. That’s an escalation that might cause the judge to pause about his options.

"Where does a prison sentence leave Merchan when it comes to the armed Secret Service? Does he say that Trump must give up Secret Service protection in prison? No, because he lacks the power to do this. Therefore, by sending Trump to prison, he effectively sentences his Secret Service agents to prison as well. This would create a constitutional crisis that SCOTUS would have to settle.

"Normally, once someone is convicted of a felony in New York City, that person is immediately placed in the custody of NYC law enforcement and sent to Rikers Island Prison. Rikers Island, as Law & Order TV fans well know, is a hell-hole. It is likely that the Secret Service would allow this for its agents? There’s another constitutional crisis." . . .

The real threat to democracy - Ronald C. Tinnell   "I am really tired of hearing that Trump is a "threat to democracy."  Democrats seem to be repeating this mantra endlessly.  Actually, they are right, but you have to understand what they really mean.  Let's make a distinction between two flavors of democracy:

"democracy:  rule by the people

“ 'Democracy”:  rule by Democrats, specifically by members of the Democratic party

"Trump is truly a threat to “Democracy.”  When Democrats make this claim, they really mean that he is a threat to their ascendancy, but they want you to think that they mean that he is a threat to rule by the people." . . . 

BORIS JOHNSON: This was a machine-gun mob-style hit job on Trump. It was nakedly political - and will make his victory more likely, not less | Daily Mail Online   "Whaaat??? How can anyone survive that? By all the laws of politics the Trump campaign should today be a smoking ruin.

"He's a felon. He's a criminal – and he is the first president in US history to be convicted of such ostensibly serious offences.

"Every time that jury foreman pronounced the word 'Guilty' in the Manhattan court on Thursday, he should by all normal logic have been dealing a death-blow to Donald Trump's hopes of regaining the White House.

"He said it not just once but 34 times. This was no ordinary political assassination. This was a machine-gun mob-style hit-job on Trump." . . .

Wait - Who's Lying? Jonathan Turley Flips 'Blatant Lie' Charge Against Fox Host Back on Biden Campaign

The Biden administration on January 22, 2021 – just two days after Joe's inauguration – put a freeze on Trump's plan to lower insulin prices. So Biden literally reversed Trump's insulin cap as one of his first EOs, and now comes back, more than three years later, and tries to take credit for it.
Posted by TD

"To intentionally use an awkward double negative, Joe Biden can't not lie. As his mortal enemy Donald Trump might say, "Everyone knows it. People are telling me that, if you want to know the truth."

"Welp, turns out that everyone also knows that the Biden presidential campaign is no more than an extension of a dishonest man who lacks the capacity to be honest and will stoop to any low to survive.

"What follows is a quintessential case in point.

"The Biden campaign on Monday attacked veteran Fox News host John Roberts for questioning Biden’s claim that he was the first president to push through a cap of $35 for a one-month supply of insulin medication. 

I seem to remember that back in May of 2020, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid said that President Trump had signed an executive order to cap the price of insulin for Medicare recipients at 35 bucks. Now, maybe I’m misremembering that, but I think it kind of already happened.

"The collective minds of Team Biden promptly went crazy. 

FACT CHECK: This is a blatant lie. Trump did not cap insulin costs, President Biden did for seniors through the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s Project 2025 wants to repeal it, which would raise insulin costs for over a million Americans.

"Yeah, no. Better check the facts. And they attacked Roberts, who has had a distinguished career, not Trump. But the mere notion that Donald Trump did something first that Biden is now pushing led them to lose it."

"Enter George Washington University law professor and Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley.
