'Sexually assaulted by the terrorist who guarded me': Released Hostage Amit Soussana speaks at UNSC

The Jerusalem Post

(Warning: The following article contains graphic descriptions of violence and sexual abuse.)

“We, the hostages, made a vow to each other: if one of us were ever freed, we would never stop fighting for the release of the others. Today, I am fulfilling that promise by sharing my story, no matter how painful it is. Staying silent would be even harder.”

"She added, “I cannot remain silent, not just because of the promise we made, but because of the silence and denial surrounding the atrocities still being inflicted on hostages in Gaza, now for 383 agonizing days.

Bring them home now

“ 'Now, I stand before the UN Security Council, pleading with you to fulfill your duty. Act immediately to ensure the release of those still in captivity. Each passing day causes them further psychological harm and endangers their lives. Act before it’s too late.

“ 'I beg you not to turn a blind eye to the horrors being inflicted on innocent civilians. It is your responsibility to protect human rights, fight terrorism, and bring the perpetrators to justice. The world is watching, waiting for the Security Council to live up to its mandate. Do not fail us. Secure the freedom of the hostages and ensure no one else endures such a fate. We have a collective duty to fight terrorism and protect human rights. The time to act is now.”

So very sad, but Israel must be allowed to win this war to stop, hopefully, the constant cycles of rockets and raids upon civilians who merely want to live in peace in the land God gave them thousands of years ago. Shabbir Rizvi coaching American leftist "activists" calls pro-Israel defenders who say Jews have a right to live in peace in their land "Zionist Freaks" .

IDF raids Hezbollah Radwan Forces underground bases, discovers massive cache of weapons. "The more the war advances, the more we discover how determined Hamas and Hezbollah were to destroy Israel. Many thought it was only "inflamed rhetoric." It is much more than that. The accumulating evidence is so overwhelming that I don't understand why the U.S. is still urging a ceasefire instead of being clear and supportive of the need to eradicate these terror groups. Yet, they let us do the dirty work while complaining about how we do it. Israel must be supported 100%. The use of violence as a "liberation" tool should be unequivocally condemned, especially when it takes the atrocious form of October 7. Also, we should find ways to reduce the romantic appeal of the so-called "freedom fighters." The only "escalation" the U.S. should be worried about is the rise of anti-Western sentiment, Jihadist bigotry, and Islamist extremism. Right now, Israel is trying to "fix" decades of appeasement politics."

Tucker Carlson Slams It Out of the Park With Epic Rant Against Kamala, . . . Liz Cheney

Bob Hoge; RedState   "Tucker Carlson didn’t hold back at a Wednesday night Donald Trump campaign rally in Duluth, Georgia, hosted by Turning Point PAC and Turning Point Action, but then again, you wouldn’t expect him to. The former highly rated Fox News host and founder of the Tucker Carlson Network has shown again and again that he’s unafraid of taking strong positions, and you can count on him to speak his mind.

"He seemed to be having an absolute blast throughout the 20-minute speech, and the audience appeared to as well, frequently roaring. He got the crowd going by noting, “So here we are, at an enormous Donald Trump rally less than two weeks before the presidential election, I'm following Bobby Kennedy Jr., and somewhere, at a half-empty union hall in a cold state, is Dick Cheney's . . . daughter, campaigning with Kamala Harris." . . .

No politician can be so inept that the left cannot use them in our demise as a world power

 Mr. Biden, locked in my memory are images of your hate-filled face in speeches at the dark red-lit Freedom Hall in Philadelphia, your State Of The Union "Address", and your DNC speech, all easily taken to be a call for someone to kill Mr. Trump. If indeed that does happen, I hope the images of your hate-filled face will be coupled with that of President Trump's family standing around his grave. The Tunnel Dweller.  From Oct 23.

But:...Biden-Harris DOJ Files Lawsuit To Stop State From Removing Noncitizens From Voting Rolls – ACLJ Is Fighting Back To Defend Election Integrity   "We are just over two weeks from Election Day, and the Biden-Harris DOJ is brazenly committing election interference. They’ve filed a lawsuit to block Virginia from removing noncitizens from the voting rolls. These are individuals who have marked on official documents that they are noncitizens but yet are still on the voter rolls.

"We’ve known for a long time that “Border Czar” Kamala Harris’ open border policies would lead to these kinds of election shenanigans, and now we’re seeing it come to pass. We’re preparing to fight back in court.

"Following the guidelines of a 2006 law signed by then-Governor Tim Kaine, current Gov. Glenn Youngkin carried out an Executive order to remove noncitizens from his state’s voting rolls – in total, between January 2022 and July 2024, 6,303 noncitizens were removed from the voter registration rolls."  

The ACLJ also won’t “stand idly by” as the Biden-Harris Administration commits open election interference. Our legal team is mobilizing and preparing to seek leave of court to file an amicus brief in federal court to prevent this attempt to undermine our American democracy. Our first court filing is imminent.

BDS, Al Qaeda, ‘Kill the Jews’: Kamala’s ‘Incredible Muslim Team’

 Daniel Greenfield; Newsrael 

 “During the blessed last 10 days of Ramadan, we celebrate our Administration’s incredible Muslim team,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced, posing on the steps of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with some of the most controversial figures in the administration."

 Now we understand why Kamala boycotted Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech before Congress. TD

"There right behind Kamala was Nasrina Bargzie, her deputy counsel and future Muslim liaison, who had been interviewed by the FBI after 9/11, wore orange for the Islamic terrorists at Gitmo and had fought a lawsuit Jewish students over harassment by pro-terrorist activists at Berkeley.

"Second from Kamala’s right was Mazen Basrawi, Biden’s current Muslim liaison, who had attended a conference honoring one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the World Trade Center bombing, and whose appointment was hailed by Muslim Brotherhood groups.

"Second from Kamala’s left was Brenda Abdelall, who had taken part in anti-Israel protests in college, and had falsely accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” as part of a “brutal occupation”. Abdelall became the “assistant secretary for partnership and engagement” at the Department of Homeland Security in the Biden-Harris administration and then appeared at a convention where speakers had called for a caliphate ruled by Islamic law and freeing Islamic terrorists.

"Abdelall was recently chosen to head Kamala’s Arab-American outreach. And the campaign refused to part ways with her over past comments accusing Jews of controlling America.

"Also allegedly present was Yousra Fazili, who had studied Islamic religious law or sharia at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, notorious for its terrorist teachings,  and represented the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations co-founded by figures tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama bin Laden, before becoming the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs and now serves as the Chief of Staff to the Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer of the Pentagon.

"Yousra’s sister, Sameera Fazili had served as the deputy director of the National Economic Council despite being a member of Stand With Kashmir (SWK) “which was founded by her cousin, Hafsa Kanjwal” and which had “praised and defended the actions of a number of violent Islamists” including one who had “met with Al Qaeda figures” and praised Osama bin Laden.

"Other members of Kamala’s “incredible Muslim team” included Maher Bitar, a former executive board member of Students for Justice in Palestine, a campus hate group which has since endorsed Hamas and the atrocities of Oct 7, and an organizer of a conference by the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which worked with Hamas, and whose previous event had reportedly included chants of “Kill the Jews”." . . .

The Kamala campaign continues to cultivate ties with extremist figures including a reported private meeting between the candidate and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud of Dearborn, known as the nation’s Jihad Capital, who had told a pro-Hamas rally after Oct 7 that this was “the city of resistance”.

Right on Schedule, the Atlantic Scum of the Earth Weigh in on Trump

"There is no evidence that anybody cares anymore."

Scott McKay; The American Spectator  

"What might be different in modern-day America compared to the Soviet Union of Solzhenitsyn’s time is that we still have the individual power to resist the lie in this country. That and the media mob willing to join claws with Goldberg to spread his smears are simply nowhere near as competent at propaganda as the Soviets were."

 "You're aware that Steve Jobs’ widow, a crazed leftist named Lauren Powell Jobs, is the owner of the Atlantic, are you not?

"Mrs. Jobs, a San Francisco Democrat and multi-million-dollar donor to both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, props up that venerable rag as a vanity project so that the market can’t kill it as it so desperately wants to. Nobody reads the Atlantic anymore, other than perhaps a few unhinged leftists like its owner.

 'Which is not to say that the Atlantic is altogether irrelevant as it should be.

 "Here and there, all the worst, most salacious, obviously untrue, and hardcore partisan attacks on Republicans that other “mainstream” media organs pass on will tend to appear there. And that has happened again, which we’ll get to in a minute.

 'The Atlantic is fronted by a hack named Jeffrey Goldberg, a former police beat reporter for the Washington Post who worked his way into his current job by sucking up to powerful Democrats like Barack Obama.

"Which doesn’t make Goldberg remarkable. What does make him remarkable is the lengths he will go to in order to trash Republicans, and Donald Trump in particular.

"In 2020, Goldberg ran a garbage article that accused Trump of cancelling a 2018 visit to a cemetery in France where American World War I soldiers are buried, and Trump supposedly said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”

"This is according to the Atlantic, which used an unnamed source for the article.

"No less than 19 people from Trump’s staff went on the record to refute Goldberg’s smear, and that should have resulted in some staff changes atop the Atlantic. Did that happen? Of course not. Instead, PBS, funded by your tax dollars, gave him their Washington Week show, which is now branded with the Atlantic as an “editorial partner.' ” . . .

CENTRAL PARK FIVE: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SUE FOR

"I have many more witnesses I’d like to put on the stand, including the jogger’s doctors, who say they distinctly saw many different handprints on the jogger’s body, and that her injuries prove that Reyes could not possibly have acted alone. This is a wonderful opportunity to prove the truth in a court of law! They asked for it."  AC

"I’m not sure the Central Park Five really want a civil trial on what happened the night of April 19, 1989, but by suing Donald Trump for defamation, that’s what they’re going to get.

"The alleged defamation was Trump’s typically garbled response to Kamala Harris’ lie at ABC’s presidential debate last month, about something that happened 35 years ago. She claimed that Trump had called for “the execution of five young Black and Latino boys who were innocent.”

"Actually, Trump’s much-maligned ad in The New York Times never mentioned the Five, who weren’t remotely eligible for the death penalty, anyway. If everyone involved here weren’t a public figure, Harris’ accusation, as well as the Five’s legal filing, and every Times story for the past decade mentioning the ad, would all be defamatory, too.

"But since they brought it up, let’s have a trial! Truth is an absolute defense to defamation, and one thing the public hasn’t gotten much of is the truth about the Central Park Five: Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson and Korey Wise.

"Here’s some testimony we’d like to see:

"How did the detectives get the boys’ parents to go along with videotaping their sons as they confessed — falsely, they now claim — to the rape of the jogger, in addition to vicious attacks on bicyclists, joggers and other park-goers?

"Weren’t the detectives worried that if they bullied five innocent boys into making false confessions, the jogger might suddenly emerge from her coma and be able to identify her attackers? What if she woke up and blurted out, “My boyfriend did it!”? Boy, would their faces be red.

"In any event, it will be great to see those videotapes again!

"As long as the detectives were making up confessions anyway, why not have the youths forthrightly admit to raping the jogger? Instead, all five readily admitted to the other crimes, but each of them minimized their role in the rape, as is typical for suspects in sex crimes cases.  They confessed — to the police, to detectives and to their friends and acquaintances — only to fondling or restraining the jogger while others raped her.

"Thus, for example, when Santana was picked up by the police, he blurted out, “I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman’s tits.” The police didn’t know about the jogger yet. How did Santana?" . . .

Obama Raps With Eminem on Stage at Detroit Rally as Tulsi Gabbard Announces She is Officially Joining Republican Party

Obama used the same "word salad" trope while sprinkling a bundle of "I, me, mines". TD

 RTM 

" 'I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party. I am joining the party of the people,” declared Gabbard, who previously served Hawaii’s Second District in Congress as a Democrat from 2013 through 2021." 

"President Barack Obama and Donald Trump traded fierce barbs across different campaign stops, with Obama delivering an unexpected rap performance and Trump launching personal attacks against his predecessor in a day that reshaped the political landscape.

"At a high-energy Detroit rally, Obama surprised supporters by reciting lyrics from Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” after being introduced by the legendary rapper himself. 

"The former president, admitting to feeling “nervous,” delivered the iconic lines, “palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy,” to thunderous applause from the Michigan crowd. 

"The unexpected performance came after Obama playfully acknowledged the pressure of following the Real Slim Shady on stage.

"Trump, speaking at a North Carolina campaign event, branded Obama “a real jerk” and criticized his recent campaign appearances. 

“What a divider he is. He divides this country. He couldn’t care less, him and his little group of people,” Trump declared. " . . .

Border Patrol Agents Say They’ll Leave En Masse If Harris Wins

Are they more serious than the celebrities who say they will leave this country if Trump wins?

Jon Dougherty  

. . ."He added: “On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States.' ”

BPR: DHS goes full Baghdad Bob

"Border Patrol agents are threatening to leave the essential federal agency in large numbers if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November, with several agents telling the New York Post that they cannot endure another four years of being undermined and scapegoated.

" 'I’m not doing this s–t again … four years of hell,” one agent, who isn’t anywhere close to retirement, told the outlet. Another added, “Lots of guys who can retire will go. If Trump wins, they’ll stay.”

"On Monday, the Border Patrol union, National Border Patrol Council, offered a full-throated endorsement of the former president.

"Insiders report that the Border Patrol has experienced significant turnover and a sharp decline in morale under the Biden-Harris administration.

"The agency has lost more than 4,000 personnel since October 2020, leaving approximately 19,000 employees, according to the Washington Examiner.

"Incentives such as raising recruitment bonuses from $10,000 to as much as $30,000 and encouraging retired agents to return have not been enough to close the gap." . . .

“Under this administration, they’ve done everything they could to make our job as inefficient as possible. They can’t outwardly tell us not to do our job, but when you’re watching criminals come in and get released it sucks,” another agent told The Post."

MSM Hacks Are Too Isolated and Ignorant to Grasp How Many Americans Despise Them

Stephen Kruiser: PJ Media

"People who work for the Times, The Washington Post, or the Big Three Networks are blissfully unaware of how little they are respected."

"The Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been rending their garments over the way Donald Trump talks about them since he first hit the campaign trail back in 2015. They believe that he is unfair and mean to them. 

"He is really just honest though. 

'Most Republican politicians at the national level are timid souls who spend their professional lives cowering in fear of the MSM Dem propagandists. These GOP weaklings know that the MSM hacks deeply despise them, but still hope that they may one day get a little bit of praise from The New York Times or one of the Big Three nightly network news broadcasts. 

'To his everlasting credit, Trump has never harbored any delusions about there one day being a big Kumbaya moment between him and the Editorial Board of the New York Times. 

"The poor dears are really getting panicky this close to an election that might return Trump to power. " . . .  

The Democratic National Committee has tasked the Times and the rest of the MSM with scaring the electorate into believing that Trump will turn into some sort of Hitler/Stalin/Mao three-headed monster if elected again, so they put stories like this out there every day. These kinds of partisan hit jobs are major contributors to decreasing trust Americans have in the media. My friend and RedState colleague Brandon Morse recently wrote that Americans' faith in the media is really bottoming out lately.  . . .

America's Trust In the Media Has Cratered to an All-Time Low  

. . ."Gallup notes that there is a huge partisan divide in trust. Republicans trust the media at only 12 percent and Independents are only at 27 percent. Democrats, naturally, make up the bulk of America's trust in the media at 57 percent. This is telling, as it displays that the media's bias is pleasing to leftists. Still, the fact that the number isn't higher shows that even many on the left don't trust it due to its obvious bias." . . .

Progressives Finally Realize That Latinos Don't Like Being Called 'Latinx'

It appears progressives have finally gotten the memo on the term “Latinx,” a new woke label that has been applied to Hispanic Americans

"Here’s something you don’t see every day: Progressives finally realizing that their terminology is silly.

Babylon Bee  (See below)

"It appears progressives have finally gotten the memo on the term “Latinx,” a new woke label that has been applied to Hispanic Americans. During a Tuesday discussion on a CNN panel, host Kasie Hunt questioned whether Democrats should stop using the term because it is clear Hispanics aren’t embracing it.

"Hunt asked Kate Bedingfield, a former White House Communications Director under President Joe Biden, whether Democrats should abandon the term. Bedingfield acknowledged that “what we would hear from voters on the ground is it didn’t necessarily resonate with them” and that “It felt a lot more like language that people who were, again, professional, political professional, political class was using.”

"Several polls have shown this to be true, which could be a significant issue given that a recent USA Today/Suffolk University poll showed former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris 49 percent to 38 percent among Latino voters.

"In case you were wondering where the “Latinx” nonsense came from, it was originally introduced as a gender-neutral alternative to “Latino” and “Latina” by activists, academics, and entertainers, which should shock absolutely nobody. The objective was to move beyond gendered language among Spanish speakers because of sexism and stuff.

"Yet, Latinos were clearly not on board with the new term. In fact, if I had a billion dollars, I’d bet it all that most of those who were pushing this ridiculous term were white progressive savior types.

"A Pew Research survey found that while 47 percent of Latinos have heard the term, only about four percent actually used it to describe themselves. Even further, 79 percent felt it should not be used to describe the Hispanic population." . . .

Babylon Bee: Millions Celebrate Latinx Heritage Month By Commemorating That Time A Few Years Ago When The Word 'Latinx' Was Made Up  

Political analysis suggests that Hispanic people saw Democrat ads

 using words like "Latinx" and didn't know what that meant and so 

ignored them.

"As part of ongoing celebrations for Latinx Heritage Month, millions of revelers gathered to remember that day just a few years ago when someone made up the word "Latinx" out of thin air.

" 'Our history as members of the Latinx community is long and rich," said Alejandro Diego Armando Manchego Del Mundo, chairman of the Latinx Historic Foundation of Anaheim in a press release for the celebration. "Even the name ‘Latinx' has a deep heritage that reaches back all the way to, like, 2019."  . . .  

So the whole thing is about pronouns!  Starting about where the same people chant "from the river to the sea!" would be my guess. TD

As He Lashes Out Against Trump, Biden Declares 'We Gotta Lock Him Up'

Mr. Biden, locked in my memory are images of your hate-filled face in speeches at the dark red-lit Freedom Hall in Philadelphia, your State Of The Union "Address", and your DNC speech, all easily taken to be a call for someone to kill Mr. Trump. If indeed that does happen, I hope the images of your hate-filled face will be coupled with that of President Trump's family standing around his grave. The Tunnel Dweller.

Rebecca Downs; Townhall  . . ."At one moment that came off as particularly awkward given how Biden stumbled out his remarks, the president went for a rather misleading interpretation of the Trump v. United States decision from July 1. 

"Trump, according to Biden, "thinks he has a right under the Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able, if need be, if he, if that was the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate, shoot, kill someone who is, he believes to be a threat to him." 

"I mean, so, I know this sounds bizarre," Biden acknowledged. It is bizarre, especially because it's a misinterpretation of the decision. In such a case, the Court found that the office of the presidency has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. The immunity only applies to official acts. "There is no immunity for unofficial acts," the syllabus for such a decision explicitly pointed out.

"That didn't stop hysterical leftists, including Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her dissent, from making all sorts of outlandish claims about what presidents were allowed to do under such a decision." . . . 

. . . "Trump has been a main target with a slew of charges against him, but he's not the only one. Ordinary Americans, including concerned parents at school board meetings and peaceful pro-lifers have been targeted by the Biden-Harris DOJ. Back in April 2022, it was reported that Biden was frustrated about Attorney General Merrick Garland's more "deliberative approach.' " . . .

McDonalds Freakout Memes; UPDATE: GET THE NEW TRUMP/MICKEY D's SHIRT!

 David Strom; Hot Air  

"Conservatives were laughing at liberals because, well, liberals were ridiculous. David Frum in stentorian tones warned the world that Trump was a phony because the billionaire wasn't really a McDonalds employee. MSNBC called it fake. Tim Walz couldn't help himself and claimed that Trump was insulting workers." 

"Yesterday, I wrote about Donald Trump's McMentum, and the evidence for that is irrefutable. Look at the polls or look at the vibes and they say the same thing. 

"No, I am not talking about all the whinging from the Democrats about how "fake" the Trump stunt was: everybody with a brain understands that Donald Trump did not get a job from a McDonalds franchisee, that everybody who met with Trump was pre-screened by the Secret Service (the corporate media doesn't like to cover the fact, but two assassins have tried to kill him and the Iranians have teams of assassins in the country targeting Trump), and that Trump will not be getting a check for his brief stint as a fry cook." . . .

  Townhall has rushed out a commemorative shirt featuring the iconic Trump photo:

. . ."There was real joy on the Right side of the aisle, and the "vibes" weren't artificially created by Beyonce or Oprah. Nobody stage manages Donald Trump, to the disgust of the Left and the occasional frustration of the Right. " . . .

UPDATE: Weirdo Leftists Just Tried to Cancel the McDonald's That Hosted Trump. They Failed Miserably.  

"This event was obviously arranged to play off of Kamala’s claimed vocational past, a twist of the political knife, and having a laugh at her expense. The media, as expected, took to the cameras and keyboards to lambaste this appearance, and in the process, they exposed their own bias and contempt. These journalists sound like consumer activists who vow to be heard by downvoting a restaurant on Yelp."
