 Dem congresswoman attended Farrakhan's pro-terror convention | Israel National News  . . ." Farrakhan has long been a controversial figure within the Black Muslim community in Chicago, praising Adolf Hitler as a “very great man”, and slamming Judaism as a “gutter religion” during a 1984 speech, leading the US Senate to condemn him in a unanimous 95-0 vote.

"The Nation of Islam leader has continued to use explicitly anti-Semitic rhetoric, calling American Jews “satanic” in a 2013 sermon in Detroit.

"During the 2002 Nation of Islam convention which Congresswoman Waters attended, Farrakhan noted Waters’ appearance at the event and praised her during his address.

Liberals Defeat Nazis By Painting Swastikas Everywhere And Torching Immigrant Businesses. From the Babylon Bee

Ethics demands I label this as parody but where does it become parody and not existential truth? These ill-educated campus sheep pale in comparison to Elon Musk and his contributions to this nation he has adopted as his own. The Tunnel Dweller

Babylon Bee

"WORLD — Liberals across the world have defeated Naziism by painting swastikas on everything and setting fire to immigrant-owned storefronts.

"With hope seemingly lost after Nazis seized America and threatened to take over the globe, progressives courageously fought back by committing widespread arson against immigrant businesses and spray-painting Nazi symbols on cars and buildings.

"We did it! We beat the Nazis," shouted activist Jean LePenne, lighting another car dealership on fire. "It took us painting thousands of swastikas on things, including on our own bodies, but we did it. I literally had to get several swastikas tattooed on my face, but it was all worth it to defeat Hitler's second coming."

"With the inexorable rise of the Fourth Reich seeming destined to take over the world, liberals began to turn the tide against Nazis by goose stepping through the streets, covering themselves in swastikas, and shouting "Heil Hitler." The Nazis were left severely weakened as progressives paraded large floats through the streets which displayed messages such as "Death To The President" and "Time For Violence." Leftists then began unleashing violent assaults against immigrant-owned businesses, defeating Naziism once and for all.

"At publishing time, liberals had celebrated their victory over the Nazis by burning all the opposition leaders in effigy along with all of their books."

On XY in XX’s Sports, Whoopi G. Opens Her Mouth—and Removes All Doubt

Selwyn Duke  

“ 'It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool,” goes the amusing saying, “than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Despite this well known warning, there nonetheless is a show that specializes in removing such doubt—it’s called The View."

Daily Wire Whoopi Goldberg tells Dylan Mulvaney that people who oppose men in women's sports don't know anything about women's or trans people's bodies:"You're assuming that the women are weak and just can't do anything."Or maybe we're just aware of biological reality 🫠 pic.twitter.com/pkGLS7OR6I

— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) March 10, 2025

. . .  A case in point is a recent episode in which co-host Caryn Johnson (aka Whoopi Goldberg) essentially claimed that people opposed to having female-identifying men in women’s sports are ignorant. She further defended the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda with the now quite stale argument that “God doesn’t make mistakes.”

"Now, while I don’t blame God, it could occur to one that if mistakes didn’t somehow manifest themselves in the human population, how could you explain Whoopi’s reasoning ability?

"Moreover, Goldberg’s theory does not support her MUSS agenda but refutes it. For if all is ordained by God and is thus without flaw, then no one could possibly “be born in the wrong body,” right?  (Not to mention that babies afflicted with spina bifida must not actually exist. Well, darn it, the fake news sure fooled me there!)

"Anyway, Goldberg made her comments Monday while interviewing guest Dylan Mulvaney, the MUSS “influencer” best known for being the vehicle through which Bud Light’s brand was destroyed two years ago. Introducing the topic of MUSS men in women’s sports by registering shock that California governor Gavin Newsom conveniently switched positions on this issue and admitted that such participation was “unfair,” Goldberg stated:  

So, when you come in and you say, these are men competing against women, you’re assuming that the women are weak and just can’t do anything. Have you seen female athletes?! [Goldberg asked this with the implication that at issue are Amazons.] They know what they’re doing, so I’m not sure what’s going on or why this is an issue.

 "Of course, it completely eluded Goldberg, and apparently everyone else on the low-IQ View panel, that she had completely undermined her own argument. Because if the female athletes “know what they’re doing,” Whoopi should listen to them." . . .

The Issue Is Not the Issue at Trump Tower Protest

The American Spectator  

"Mahmoud Khalil acted as a “negotiator” for the activists. The school lacked any power to change the course of the war, and the activists lacked anything tangible, beyond an end to their shutdown of much of the campus, to give to Columbia, so why Khalil negotiated and Columbia humored him still perplexes."

https://spectator.org/

. . ."The activists who occupied the lobby of Trump Tower on Thursday demonstrated that the issue still isn’t the issue.

"Ignoring the law led to the arrest of their hero, Mahmoud Khalil. The mob responded to this by again ignoring the law. 

"At Columbia University, activists transformed campus green space into a campground and took over Hamilton Hall. On several occasions, the New York City police, at the request of the Columbia University administration, arrested activists and dismantled the tents of the squatters. The protest of Columbia, a non sequitur given the lack of any real connection between the university and the Hamas–Israel war, disrupted the institution’s purpose to such a degree that it called off final examinations for the spring 2024 semester.

"Mahmoud Khalil acted as a “negotiator” for the activists. The school lacked any power to change the course of the war, and the activists lacked anything tangible, beyond an end to their shutdown of much of the campus, to give to Columbia, so why Khalil negotiated and Columbia humored him still perplexes.

"As former Columbia University student Irie Sentner wrote at Politico, “The student group behind the encampment — Columbia University Apartheid Divest, or CUAD — had two main demands: that Columbia cut all its ties to Israel, including divesting and halting plans to build a ‘global center’ in Tel Aviv, and that the protesters themselves receive amnesty for their actions.”

"The issue was not the issue. The group really just wished to cause a ruckus.

"This week, the same crowd again caused a ruckus. They violated private property rights by invading Trump Tower, a place where hundreds of people live. They impeded movement on Fifth Avenue, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the United States." . . .

And for the Trump administration, it’s not really about Khalil involving himself in a prolonged protest that involved all sorts of illegalities. The troubling aspect of the protests partly led by Khalil, a Palestinian born in Syria holding Algerian citizenship, involves the perverse idea underlying them: the righteousness of the barbarous Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, which included kidnapping civilians, raping women, and slaughtering defenseless young people at a music festival. One so outside of civilization as to endorse all that does not belong within our civilization.

Michelle Obama podcast gets 47,000 and 15,000 views within their first 24 hours; Joe Rogan's show pulls anywhere from 500,000 to 56 million an episode.

Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, launched their video podcast on Monday, March 10, and uploaded their first two episodes on Wednesday to kickstart their new media venture.

However, the two episodes garnered 47,000 and 15,000 views within their first 24 hours on the platform. In comparison, the first episode of California Governor Gavin Newsom's new podcast drew in over 743,000 views on YouTube and Joe Rogan's show pulls anywhere from 500,000 to 56 million viewers and listeners an episode.

RTM: 

Interestingly, the former first lady previously admitted that she “couldn’t stand” her husband for a decade while their children were growing up, as Trending Politics reported.

"Former First Lady Michelle Obama has begun a new podcast alongside her brother, Craig Robinson.

"Obama, a prominent figure int he political world and elsewhere, was believed to have a successful podcast. However, it appears that the former first lady has yet to succeed doing podcasts." . . .

. . ."Conservative commentator Alex Bruesewitz pointed out that despite the mainstream media “hyping up” the former first lady’s show, it still managed to perform poorly.

" 'Michelle Obama debuted her new podcast a couple of days ago, with the full weight of the mainstream media machine hyping it up across every major outlet and network—free promotion that most creators could only dream of,” he said." . . .

Michelle Obama’s first couple podcast episodes absolutely flopped not even getting a combined 20,000 views in the 15 hours after posting.

The comments filled with people saying “nobody asked for this.”

BIDEN DIDN’T PARDON, HE ERASED THE LAW

 Ann Coulter  

"Forget Biden’s issuing preemptive pardons to Anthony Fauci, members of the Jan. 6 committee, the special prosecutors who hounded Trump, his own multiple-convict son, Hunter, and to be safe, “anyone with the last name Biden.” He used the presidential pardon to overturn federal criminal law, just as he used Alejandro Mayorkas to overturn immigration law." 

rofcbybroc

"A snippy article in The New York Times this past weekend — sorry, an unusually snippy article in The New York Times this past weekend — suggested that Trump is using his pardon power to reward those loyal to him and undo what he sees as politically motivated prosecutions. If true, this would make Trump only the 47th president to use his authority this way.

"The media’s interest in presidential pardons seems sudden.

"Just a few months ago, President Biden granted a blanket clemency to 1,500 criminals in a single day; overruled federal law on capital punishment by rescinding it for 37 of the 40 federal death row prisoners; and nullified federal drug laws by commuting the sentences of 2,500 alleged “nonviolent drug offenders,” in what his White House boasted was “the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”

"The Times is worried about Trump abusing the presidential pardon? If Trump were selling pardons at a card table at Mar-a-Lago like merch at comic con, it could not compare to the lawlessness of Biden using the pardon power to repeal federal law. With the stroke of a pen, the dementia patient — or whomever was functioning as president — thumbed his nose at the legislative and judicial branches, the U.S. Code, his own law enforcement officers, the federal judiciary, and, most of all, citizens voting in a democracy (that thing that dies in darkness).

"For decades, the progressive wish list has had at the top of the lineup: 1) decriminalizing drugs, 2) decriminalizing illegal immigration, 3) decriminalizing crime and 4) abolishing the death penalty. They push their pro-criminal agenda with Alice in Wonderland locutions, like “mass incarceration,” “the school-to-prison pipeline,” “failed drug war,” “black bodies,” “alternatives to incarceration,” “the new Jim Crow,” “nonviolent drug offenses” and “the defendant was just signed by the Los Angeles Lakers.”

"But no matter how they try to camouflage it, these are such obviously crackpot ideas, they’ve been adopted only in a few open-air drug markets, like the entire states of California, Oregon and Washington. Unable to convince a majority of Americans not currently wearing ankle monitors that murderers, rapists and other psychopaths should roam free among us, liberals simply defy the law with moratoriums, executive orders, court rulings and, in Biden’s case, across-the-board mass clemencies." . . .

Dem Governors Get Strategy for National Guard Deployment, Executive Orders to Resist Trump

 Daily Signal  

"While the descriptions for “health care services” aren’t explicit, elsewhere in the documents, the group references abortion and “gender affirming care,” a phrase used to describe surgical sex operations."

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is co-chair of Governors Safeguarding Democracy.

"Democrat governors have a “resistance” playbook created for them that includes draft executive orders to defy the administration’s immigration policies as well as instructions on deploying the National Guard. 

"The Governors Action Alliance, a Democrat organization that founded the group Governors Safeguarding Democracy, provided such guidance to the staffs of Democrat governors across the country after the election of President Donald Trump.  

"The 126 pages of the playbook—including emails, talking points, and a “Firewalling for Freedom – Template Gubernatorial Executive Order”—were obtained in a public records request from the office of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro by the private nonprofit watchdog group Government Accountability and Oversight and shared with The Daily Signal. 

"The documents offer a potential glimpse for what’s ahead as Democrat-run states prepare to clash with the federal government. The organization laying out the strategy is run by a host of former staffers for Democrat governors and liberal organizations, including NARAL Pro-Choice America, Demos, and Common Cause. .

"The “Firewall for Freedom – Template Gubernatorial Executive Order” directs that “no state agency, employee, or agent may comply with a request for information or assistance if they have reason to believe the request is in furtherance of any investigation, arrest, prosecution, or other sanction of conduct initiated by federal authorities or out-of-state authorities.” 

"This includes no assistance to federal officials regarding “health care services … lawful under state law”; and no assistance to the federal government to “identify or apprehend a person in order to subject them to civil immigration detention, removal, or deportation proceedings,” or “to prosecute a person or persons for offenses related to immigration status.”. . .

Joe and Mika LIED About Musk Seeking to 'Eliminate' Social Security, Medicare

Newsbusters

. . ."Musk also hammered Democrats for using the age-old allure of government benefits to attract illegal immigrants to swell their voter base. But Scarborough bent Musk’s comments into a pretzel to cry racism . . ." 

"The blowhards at MSNBC’s Morning Joe should realize that continuing to shoot lies through their whitened tooth implants on the air about Elon Musk doesn’t make them any more true. What’s worse is that they don’t even attempt to be clever about it.

"Both hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were popping their brain corks over Musk’s March 10 interview with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. Both just lied about the subject matter. 

"Mika went first during the March 11 edition of Morning Joe, shamelessly claiming Musk “referred to the federal spending programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, as the areas that need to be eliminated."

"Fact check: False. The clip she played from the Kudlow show literally begins with Musk referring to “the waste report in entitlement spending” and noted that most of federal spending is entitlements — $1.56 trillion was paid out just to Medicare and Medicaid and another $1.35 trillion just to Social Security in FY2023 alone, not counting other entitlement programs. So that context alone makes sense when Musk followed by saying, “So that’s the big one to eliminate. That’s a half-trillion — maybe six-$700 billion a year.”

"It’s obvious that he’s talking about eliminating waste, not ending the programs entirely.  

"Scarborough doubled down on this blatant falsehood later in the segment: “Elon Musk didn’t say we’re going after waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare. What he said was we got to get rid of Social Security and Medicare.” No, that's not what Musk said!" . . .

Should we not be suspicious of MSNBC's motives?

Randi Weingarten deserves the fury of parents across the nation

 NY Post  

AFT founder Albert Shanker was famously more honest: “When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of schoolchildren.” 

"American Federation of Teachers honcho Randi Weingarten’s sudden outrage over Team Trump’s plan to abolish the federal Department of Education is simply about losing her own power and influence — not any risk to the kids.

"America’s “competitors — and adversaries — are no doubt cheering President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education,” Weingarten asserts in an MSNBC column, pretending the DOE “helps give all children in the United States access to the great public school education they deserve.”

"Nonsense: Few kids in America have “access” to “great public school education”; we lag our peers badly in international testing.

“ 'A gutted department would mean fewer teachers, more crowded classrooms and increased mental health and behavioral challenges for students,” she lies.

“ 'We’d most likely see increased absenteeism and decreased graduation rates.” . . .

Democrats Take On Another Bad Cause

Power Line Blog

"Astonishingly, Democrats are protesting against the Trump administration’s revoking the student visa of Mahmoud Khalil, the Syrian anti-Semite who led the effort to shut down Columbia University, destroy university property, threaten Jewish students and prevent them from going to class. We have seen the Democrats take on one bad cause after another–advocating for men in women’s locker rooms is one of their recent doozies–but this one is truly mystifying. Apparently pro-Hamas militant Mahmoud Kahlil is the kind of guy the Democrats think we need more of. Thank God they are no longer in charge of immigration policy.

In this same vein:  Trump must designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization    "Meet the most dangerous terror group of all time, who has produced more terrorists than any other Islamist group in history: the Muslim Brotherhood.

"The Muslim Brotherhood (M.B.) is not just another extremist group; it is the mastermind behind modern Islamic terrorism.  Whereas ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Boko Haram are responsible for the most brutal terror attacks, the M.B. is the ideological and “administrative” force behind them all.  And yet, whereas these groups are blacklisted as terrorist organizations, M.B. leaders freely walk the halls of Western power, deceiving the world into thinking they are “moderate.”

"It is time to end this charade and expose the truth: The M.B. is a terrorist organization and must be designated as such by the United States." . . .

Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List (Updated)

172. Tuesday, March 11, 2025   

"Numerous media outlets, including The US Sun, reported in February that the Philadelphia Eagles would snub Donald Trump’s White House invitation after their Super Bowl win. This claim, attributed to an anonymous source before the Super Bowl, suggested a preemptive rejection. By February 24, the White House clarified no invitation had been sent, and Eagles sources later told ESPN and others they’d accept if invited. Nonetheless, on February 25, Newsweek reported, “The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly snubbed an invitation to the White House following their Super Bowl victory, sparking backlash from MAGA.” The Economic Times of India falsely reported: “Super Bowl 2025 champions Philadelphia Eagles have now entered into a wave of controversy afte[r] rejecting the invite to visit the White House for the second time now, and will not be attending the traditional meet and greet with the US President.”

On March 11, the White House officially announced it had extended the invitation and the Eagle had “enthusiastically” accepted.

"CNN and other media outlets fact-checked as “false” a President Trump address to Congress claim that millions of US tax dollars were spent experimenting to make mice transgender.

“CNN journalist Deidre McPhillips asserted that Trump falsely claimed’ Tuesday night that the Department of Government Efficiency identified $8 million that was spent on ‘making mice transgender,'” Fox News later reported. “Instead, she argued that grants were given to projects that applied hormone therapy to monkeys to understand its effects on HIV treatment.”

In fact, Trump’s claim is true. CNN later amended its fact check.

Russia Says It’s Ready to Begin Peace Negotiations with U.S. Immediately

 National Review   

"Trump later backtracked his comments about Zelensky and praised the bravery of Ukraine’s military forces."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov

"The Russians are open to beginning peace negotiations with the U.S. immediately to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.

“ 'We are ready to discuss the initiatives set out there in future contacts with the United States. Such contacts are already possible as early as today,” said Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

"Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov also said U.S. negotiators were traveling to Russia to Russia Thursday and discussions were planned.

“ 'Negotiators are indeed flying in, and contacts are indeed planned,” Peskov told reporters. “We won’t get ahead of ourselves — we’ll talk about it afterward.”

"Ukraine agreed to a 30-day cease-fire proposal from the U.S. during talks in Saudi Arabia earlier this week between top officials from both nations. The U.S. said it would present the ceasefire proposal to Russia following the diplomatic breakthrough with Ukraine.

"President Donald Trump has made clear his intention to end the fighting in Ukraine and bring both countries to the negotiating table. Trump and Vice President JD Vance had a heated dispute last month with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House over American military aid to Ukraine and the chances of peace with Russia. 

"Zelensky later issued a statement expressing regret for how the White House meeting turned out, opening the door for the peace negotiations. The confrontation caused the U.S. to temporarily halt military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, which were both restored as part of the cease-fire deal." . . .
