A Shameful Ad Signed by Jews in the New York Times: How a Holocaust Happens
We are commanded to pray for all our people on the Day of Atonement. Oh, I do not want to have to pray for these signatories on Yom Kippur. I do not want to take any responsibility for their shameful display.

"It's all happening just as I knew it would--but all the shiny, happy, people did not want to see it. They still don't. As someone said about the Holocaust: It started slowly and then it happened all at once.
First, little things happened--well, they were not so little but they were little enough so that most people did not really notice them. Not all the medical forms demanded that you identify yourself as male, female, bisexual, non-binary, gay, queer, or transgender--until they all did, seemingly at once. Not every public, hospital, or school bathroom was renamed for any and all humans--until they all were.
"Not every Jewish or pro-Israel student was harassed, demonized, forced to flee the campus mobs--until far too many were.
"Jewish or pro-Israel psychotherapists and psychoanalysts were not all blackballed if they were suspected of having pro-Israel positions, only some were--until it became clear that there actual blacklists were being circulated and more and more fine analysts found their names on them.
"Not every pro-Israel or pro-science (and thus anti-transgender) academic lost coveted lecture dates, promotions, tenure, publishing contracts, invitations to appear at prestigious journals--until they all did.
"As for the feminists? Still-existing feminist bookstores and Women's Studies Programs stopped welcoming a feminist's work slowly, and then across the board, if the feminist in question was not solidly on board with intersectional feminism; i.e. was not pro-transgender and anti-Israel--and if his or her main areas of study were not about racism, Western colonialism, Western imperialism, and all things queer, all things Palestine.
"As for myself--I was purged from a feminist listserv group long ago, perhaps in 2004, and was forced to exit another professional psychology group over the subject of Israel/Palestine. To stay or to go from dangerous places has always been a Jewish dilemma--well, as they say, it may start with the Jews but it never ends with us. Dissidents, apostates, infidels--all, all have had to flee for their lives from where they were born or grew up or have lived all their lives.
"Those who critiqued Islam/Islamism, terrorism, and Jihad were not only dis-invited and defamed, their lectures were interrupted, mobs moved against them quite menacingly, they increasingly needed police protection or they were escorted out, mid-sentence, for their own protection. It began slowly--I both experienced it and saw it happen to others, at first, one by one--but soon enough this became the norm.
"Famed Nobel Laureates signed petitions and ads demonizing only Israel. At first, there were not that many and they did not appear all at once. Now--they do." . . .

Senate aide who filmed a porno video on Capitol Hill monetizes his degeneracy and starts selling ‘content’ on OnlyFans
"What is it about the Democrat party that attracts the scummiest and most despicable individuals, before giving them a platform and position in their movement?"
"Remember a couple of years ago when a young Democrat staffer filmed himself engaged in gay, anal sex with an unidentified partner in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing room, which was then “leaked” online, before claiming that he would “never” do anything to “disrespect” his workplace.
"Yeah, okay.
"According to a new report out at The Washington Free Beacon, he’s now monetized his obscene proclivities and lifestyle, and is selling his hardcore “content” on pornographic social media platforms like OnlyFans and Just for Fans for just $9.99 a month… under the name “Senate Twink”, a nod to his time in government. (A “twink” is a gay man who typically acts as the submissive partner.)
"So much for the deep “respect” he claimed to have for his former job and workplace—nothing says dignity like monetizes one of the grossest scandals in American history (at least, to which the public is privy) and peddling cheap, gay pornography; he’d also been warned about his social media content before the workplace sex tape made headlines, once posting a picture from what looked like a work dinner with a caption about “trying to resist the urge” to suck on a (gay) congressman’s fingers who was also present for the meeting. Seriously, what is wrong with these people.
"As the Free Beacon item notes, none of this really rules out his return to American (Democrat) politics. David Hogg somehow secured the DNC’s vice-chair position, Anthony Weiner is out of prison after spending six years in the can for sexting a young girl and ready to do some damage on New York’s city council, and a new report today revealed that Andrew Cuomo, the former governor who resigned in disgrace amid credible reports of sexual harassment, is preparing a run for New York City mayor." . . .
Democrats defend the indefensible
President Donald Trump is putting the Democrats on defense as he marches forward and delivers on his campaign promises. Unlike his predecessors, he is more than happy to wage war on the deep state on behalf of the American people.
. . ."Make no mistake, the vast majority of Democrats still suffer from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Why else would they cavalierly oppose popular policies that their own constituents generally support?
"While TDS may play a role in the Democrats’ staunch antagonism to Trump’s agenda, it also must be noted that Democrats have benefitted mightily from many of the backwards policies and wasteful spending programs that the Trump administration is finally undoing.
"For several decades, the Democratic Party has embedded operatives throughout the federal bureaucracy. As the New York Post recently reported, Democrats far outnumber Republicans in nearly every federal department. The lopsided makeup of these agencies, nearly all of which skew heavily towards Democrats, inevitably shapes the nature of their priorities.
"In other words, the Democrats are going apoplectic about DOGE revealing the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse that is all too commonplace throughout the federal bureaucracy because they fear that this is the end of their lavish government gravy train.
"For many decades, deep-state Democratic Party-aligned apparatchiks have used these agencies to further their progressive, big government agenda.
"The problem is that this fourth branch of government has become much too powerful. Today, unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, most of whom espouse progressive values, think they can micromanage our lives better than we can. Moreover, they assume that they have the right to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on pet projects and assorted wealth redistribution schemes." . . .
"The View"; False knowledge is damning.
"Over the years, there have been some intelligent conservative women on their panel, but they do not last. They are hounded off the show or quit for obvious reasons – there can be no rational conversation."

"That she could not see and realize that Kamala Harris was monumentally unqualified to be vice president, let alone president, is a sad commentary on the lack of basic, essential knowledge of those in the media who presume to tell their viewers what to think and how to vote.
"What Hostin revealed with that statement was her own lack of historical knowledge that informs one’s ability to judge who is and who is not capable of leading in any profession. It is not, and has never been, about skin color.
"Our greatest living Supreme Court Justice is Clarence Thomas. Our greatest living economist is Thomas Sowell. Both are black. The left loathes them both. Like the other women on The View, Behar and Goldberg in particular, they seem to be mind-numbed morons, determined to impart their oh, so seriously biased and uninformed opinions to others.
"The same can of course be said of countless other news readers who pretend to be journalists.
"Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan of CBS tried to tell Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the Holocaust was the result of free speech! Not Hitler, not antisemitism, not national socialism but free speech! Rubio, shocked at the sheer silliness of her statement, eloquently refuted her.
"Scott Jennings, who so far is surviving being on CNN, has the unenviable job of correcting the absurd commentaries of his fellow CNN panelists who, likewise, seem to know nothing beyond that which their far-left, woke superiors have filled their heads. " . . .
$2B of the EPA Stash Zeldin Found at Citibank Was Going to Stacey Abrams
. . ."The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reportedly uncovered that the funds were allocated to "Power Forward Communities," a nonprofit tied to Abrams, which had only $100 in its account months prior. Granted by the Biden administration’s EPA in April 2024 . . ." Nuff Said? Racism claims begin in 3...2...1...
"That's billions with a "B" designated for the election denying real Georgia governor and former President of Earth, Stacey Abrams.
Not that I don't have anything against the woman's perpetual hustles - girls gotta make a living, I guess. But why does it always seem to be taxpayers getting fleeced whenever that name comes up?
Now, she hasn't kept a low profile since the Trump takeover. She's been busy doing her duty as a loyal drone to insinuate dark deeds afoot and sinister motives to every move that the president and his housecleaning sidekick make, even when she has to lie to do it.
"For instance - I'd be happy if they could cite a single court order that's been 'defied' as they claim. Every TRO attempt has been answered by a Trump legal response or challenge and settled accordingly.
"It's simply easier for the progressive foot soldiers to spew than attempt a reasoned argument with a fact or two thrown in for legitimacy.
"So, only a week ago, brand new EPA head Lee Zeldin and his team had their own 'Look what we found!' moment." . . .
In addition: "Well, Stacey Abrams *is* coming after your gas stove"...

Democrats in the Wilderness
"The Democrat party appears determined to spend the next 40 years wandering in the wilderness. There have been no fruitful reflections leading to productive responses to the drubbing Democrats took in the 2024 national elections. The few Cassandras who think some change in course is required are considered by Democrat elitists to be dinosaurs worthy of disdain.
"Progressivism has gone down its endless path far enough so that the worldview is post-reality. Progressivism has long since left classical liberalism in the rear-view mirror. Many of their policies today (e.g. killing pre-born babies, protecting criminal illegal aliens, facilitating fentanyl supply with open borders, inflicting irreversible reproductive damage on minors, disregard of monetary inflation that ravages the poor and middle class) are downright evil. As such, it is incompatible with common sense and antithetical to normality. Progressives cannot embrace western civilization, much less explicitly celebrate the Christian worldview.
"Obama has been the power behind the curtain running the DNC since he was President. As a result, progressive fascists occupy all important positions. The party cannot turn back. This means Democrats openly espousing their party’s positions will be less and less popular in the polls. Elections likely will become even more polarized with national polls trending Red as voters awaken.
"Message refinement, lying, dissembling, distortion, misrepresentation, and projection are the recourses open to Democrats. Having sparse rational arguments for their policies, ad hominem attacks will continue with emotional appeals. Democrats will represent themselves as angels of light, but they are deceivers. Once in power, they will revert to form and turn hard Left.
"To continue legislative successes, any successor to Trump must continue putting American interests first. The working-class poor and middle class must be protected from monetary inflation by requiring balanced budgets (with an exception for congressionally declared war). A much smaller government is required. Finally, there must be greater respect for our Bill of Rights to prevent government trampling again." . . .

"Children have a right to their mother and father. Marriage secures that right. That’s why marriage is a matter of justice for children. Something for which money, or ‘being set for life’ will never compensate." . . .
"In other words, Team America: World Police is over. Europe has got to stop relying on America for everything because we need to take care of ourselves before anyone else, mainly because the most dangerous threats come from within.
"Vance called out Europe for not practicing what they preach. European Union leaders react with such glee when a country erases an election that didn’t turn out the way the EU wanted.
"They scream democracy but strike it down when it doesn’t go their way: . . ."
. . ."Now, I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one off, crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no, this last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law." . . .
Victor Davis Hanson: JD Vance’s Message to European Leaders: Listen to Your People, Don’t Go Hard Left
The Daily Signal "Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson"
"JD Vance was trying to speak truth to power, so to speak. And they didn’t want to hear it. And what’s going to happen in the next year, people in Europe are going to rise up—these populist movements.
The Bibas family and the antisemitic moral corruption of the world’s institutions
"But you know who is at fault, too? Israel itself. Israel has allowed this genocidal hatred to fester within its borders for generations. It’s been so busy showing the world how good it is, despite the world’s refusing to acknowledge this effort, that it’s abandoned its first duty, which is to protect its people."
"Hamas has announced what many have long suspected: Shiri Bibas and her two red-haired children, Ariel (5) and Kfir (2), all three of whom Hamas militants and their civilian allies kidnapped on October 7, 2023, are dead. Well, more than dead. Murdered.
"Given the symbolic significance those once-smiling redheads have had in Israel, their deaths serve as an important touchpoint to understanding the world’s complete moral collapse. That collapse is evidenced in how the world’s institutions (governments, academia, and the media) have responded since October 7. And while societies can survive for quite some time despite institutional financial corruption, moral corruption is a different story—and, the Bible would say, moral corruption against the Jews will destroy societies. Even Israel is not free from this stricture.
"On October 7, thousands of men from Gaza, whether official members of Hamas or the usual sadistic hangers-on that are rife in Muslim-Arab society, flooded into Israel. They targeted civilian enclaves—a music festival and kibbutzim where ordinary people lived—and killed over 1,200 people.
"The invaders went out of their way to make the killings as sadistic as possible, torturing people to death, including mass rape of women and, it seems, men. Children were slaughtered in their cradles. In addition, Hamas & Co. seized 251 people, almost all civilians and many of whom were children, including those Bibas babies, and dragged them into Gaza." . .
Piers Morgan Visibly SHOCKED when Douglas Murray Exposes the Truth about “Innocent Gazans”
Comment to the above: "I am unable to find reputable News sources that can state, with any certainty, that a majority of Palestinians are willing or even interested in throwing off Hamas. I’m not looking for a public poll on the matter, just some meaningful summary of the Palestinian sentiment. What I am afforded thru the Press is the CERTAINTY that no surrounding Country wants anything to do with Palestinians…even as temporary inhabitants as Gaza is demolished and rebuilt. This burden of image is something that Palestinians must overcome or they will live in ruins for decades."
The deadliest mass crime wave in American history—who should be held accountable?
"To make it clear, Mayorkas is in some large way responsible for the crimes, misery, and chaos spread across the country by the illegals he welcomed into the country. There is no other way to think about it."
 |
"The Biden administration, under the direct authority of Cuban-born Department of Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas, oversaw the open-door welcoming of an estimated 11 million illegal aliens into the United States.
"A significant number of these illegals were known violent criminals, some directly released from jail cells in their own countries with the understanding that they could openly travel to, and be welcomed into, the United States.
"It was an unprecedented invasion of America fostered and directly supported by the very people tasked with protecting our nation’s borders and the country’s citizens and residents.
"In the middle of all this, Mayorkas appeared several times before Congress and always told the same lie, “The border is secure.”
"(It is widely understood that “Under Federal law, it is a crime to knowingly and willfully make a materially false statement to Congress punishable with up to five years in prison.”)
"The Mayorkas-sponsored invasion triggered the greatest single massive crime wave in American history. In the years 2022–2024, figures released by the US Border Protection Agency reported illegal aliens were responsible for 72,066 total crimes committed by illegals during the four-year time frame when Mayorkas ran DHS.
"This number included 80 homicides and 1,358 sexual assaults and related offenses.
"Thousands of other crimes committed included illegal drug possession, illegal re-entry, illegal weapons possession, driving under the influence, burglary, robbery, and assault and battery among others." . . .
