In honor of the accomplishments by Hamas: only destruction, not creation

 

Doctrine of Hamas | Wilson Center  "Since its creation in December 1987, Hamas has invoked militant interpretations of Islam to spearhead a Sunni extremist movement committed to destroying Israel. Hamas distanced itself from the longstanding Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)—an umbrella organization for disparate Palestinian factions that ranged from Marxist to secular nationalists—by propagating resistance in the religious context of jihad, or a holy struggle and martyrdom. “Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes,” Hamas said in its first statement in the late 1980s. Predominantly Shiite Iran has armed, trained and funded Hamas since the late 1980s largely due to its opposition to Israel and Islamic ideology.

"Hamas is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement. It has called on members of the other two Abrahamic faiths—Judaism and Christianity—to accept Islamic rule in the Middle East. “It is the duty of the followers of other religions to stop disputing the sovereignty of Islam in this region, because the day these followers should take over there will be nothing but carnage, displacement and terror,” it decreed. Hamas also rejected any prospect of peace or coexistence with the state of Israel. “Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with.” . . .

Does America have a Muslim problem?

 Douglas Carswell  

"Western cultural norms are not global norms. We need policy makers to wake up and recognize this -- and to do so fast.  It is time for a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, and for the U.S. government to act against anyone promoting murderous leftist ideology on university campuses." 

"In a brief return to Britain, I was concerned to see that London has undergone a dramatic demographic change.  The city of my birth is visibly more Muslim than it was even four years ago.  On the Tube, I saw more hijabs than baseball caps.  The Muslim niqab -- with its full face covering -- is no longer rare.

"For decades, Brits have not been allowed to question the wisdom of importing large numbers of people into a western society who do not share western values. (Brits who do so on social media risk going to prison). Instead, there was a lazy assumption that Muslim immigrants would eventually integrate. Rather than culturally converge, many Muslims living in Britain have culturally diverged. 

"Forty three percent of British Muslims now want “the introduction of Sharia law.” Support for Sharia was even stronger among Muslims in London (49%), where Muslims now make up 15 percent of the population. More British Muslims fought for ISIS than currently serve in the British army.

"The United States has long been a melting pot, with a wonderful history of people from all over the world moving to America and becoming American.  As an immigrant myself, I love the idea of people moving to America in order to become American. And becoming an American is about a lot more than getting a U.S. passport. 

"Western cultural norms are not global norms. We need policy makers to wake up and recognize this -- and to do so fast.  It is time for a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, and for the U.S. government to act against anyone promoting murderous leftist ideology on university campuses." . . .

The Democrats Have Normalized Political Violence

 The American Spectator

. . ."Meanwhile death threats against President Trump continue to accumulate. Moreover, multiple members of his Cabinet have been the victims of death threats, bomb threats, and swatting — often before being confirmed by the Senate. This has been incited by Democrat “leaders” such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)" . . .

Tom Stiglich

"President Trump’s return to the White House and his populist agenda constitute an existential threat to a Democratic Party so unpopular with its own voters that it is in danger of going the way of the Whigs. Several recent polls have revealed that only about 1 in 3 Democrats are optimistic about the future of their party. In response to this crisis, their leaders have reverted to their longstanding tradition of inciting political violence. James Comey claims he is “nonaligned” politically, yet his now notorious “8647” Instagram post was all too typical of Democrat calls for the President’s assassination.

"If the Democrats were at all sincere when they insist that violence has no place in America, they wouldn’t use so much graphic imagery. Former President Biden told donors, a mere five days before Donald Trump was shot in Pennsylvania, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” Biden later provided a semi-coherent rationale for using those words during an NBC interview, but the irresponsible rhetoric has never stopped. As recently as three weeks ago, for example, the Democratic governor of Illinois issued a thinly veiled call for violent protests which included this admonition: “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.”

"This is perfectly consistent with the rhetoric that has been deployed against Trump by Democrats and “Never-Trumpers” since he entered presidential politics in 2015. In October of that year Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, appeared on MSNBC and offered this wisdom: “They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.” Even after the first attempt on Trump’s life, former Biden staffer Kate Bedingfield opined on CNN that Democrats should “turn their fire on Donald Trump.” The connection between such imagery and the assassination attempts was not lost on the voters per an NBC poll:" . . .

Imitating MAGA populism is a losing strategy for Democrats

The Hill 

" Most importantly, a pluralist agenda doesn’t treat voters as angry mobs to be mobilized but as civic equals to be empowered."

"In their quest to win back working-class voters and compete in battleground states, many Democrats have convinced themselves that the best way to beat Trumpism is to copy it — at least on economics. The new playbook is built around economic populism: tariffs, industrial policy, big government checks, and a willingness to bash corporations, billionaires, and free markets in the same breath. But while this might make for good focus group fodder, it’s a long-term loser — for the Democratic Party, and for American democracy.

"MAGA populism isn’t just about economic pain; it’s about channeling that pain into resentment, isolation and authoritarian politics. When Democrats try to meet that energy with their own brand of populism — whether from the progressive left or the blue-collar center — they validate the frame that all of America’s problems are caused by “them” — elites, foreigners, corporations or coastal urbanites. This style of politics undermines democratic institutions, reduces trust in pluralistic compromise and feeds a dangerous cycle of permanent grievance.

"Instead of competing with President Trump on who can rage louder against the machine, Democrats should offer an alternative vision rooted in civic renewal, economic dignity and democratic accountability. That means rejecting both laissez-faire complacency and populist demagoguery.

"There is a third way — and it’s not centrism for its own sake. It’s pluralism: the idea that the best way to rebuild trust in American democracy is not by consolidating power, but by decentralizing it; not by punishing “bad guys,” but by empowering citizens; not by demonizing markets, but by making them work better for everyone.

"A pluralist economic agenda would emphasize regional development over Beltway industrial policy deals. It would strengthen local entrepreneurship and cooperative ownership instead of doubling down on megaproject subsidies. It would treat tax reform as a civic obligation, not a populist weapon. And it would champion economic inclusion —   especially for those left behind — without scapegoating those who succeed." . . .

Biden’s Secret Handlers Revealed in Devastating Book as Author Outlines Why Aides Were Willing to do ‘Undemocratic Things’ to Keep Faltering Prez in Power

"Access to Biden was so tightly managed that only a chosen few could even speak to him. So when Americans voted for Biden, they were really voting for his staff. The unelected team ran the show while Biden stayed out of the spotlight."

"Former President Joe Biden’s administration faced intense scrutiny last week following the simultaneous release of devastating health news and explosive allegations about his presidency’s inner workings.

"Biden received a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones, a condition that medical experts typically consider terminal. 

"The diagnosis drew widespread sympathy, including supportive comments from President Donald Trump.

"The health revelation coincided with the publication of “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” a book that presents damaging allegations about Biden’s capacity to serve as president.

"The book’s co-authors, Axios reporter Alex Thompson and CNN’s Jake Tapper, made startling claims about who actually controlled the Biden administration during his presidency.

"Thompson revealed that a small group of individuals, referred to within the administration as “the Politburo,” effectively ran the White House operations. 

"The term “Politburo” traditionally describes the policy-making class of communist states." . . .

Trump: Calif. May Lose Funds Over Trans Women in Sports

NEWSMAX   

"President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from California over transgender women competing in women's sports in a post on his Truth Social account Tuesday."

"California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow 'MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN'S SPORTS.' This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won 'everything,' and is now qualified to compete in the 'State Finals' next weekend," Trump wrote.

"As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. Please be hereby advised that large-scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to," Trump continued. The Governor, himself, said it is 'UNFAIR.' I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go??? In the meantime, I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!"

"According to the New York Post, Trump appeared to be referencing AB Hernandez, a transgender athlete, who recently won the women's long jump and triple jump during a state Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Masters meet.Hernandez is set to compete in the CIF state championships in Fresno this weekend, the New York Post reported.

"The White House is withholding federal education dollars from Maine over its refusal to ban transgender students from competing in girls' sports.

"California receives about $16.3 billion in federal education funding each year, the LA Times reported."

Victor Davis Hanson: DEI Enthusiasts Allowed the Free Palestine Movement to Get This Far

The Daily Signal

@ThomasHarrison-   Victor Davis Hanson, I will take issue with some you said about when this began. I believe that the 2020 summer of Love was the breeding ground for all this hat[e]ful nonsense. Police stations overrun, and occupied. People murdered, property destroyed, and not too many people were held accountable for their actions.

Tapper’s Book Condemns Journalists In More Ways Than One

 Issues & Insights

"So, what we have, by their own admission, are “mainstream” news types who will dance to whatever tune their masters in the Democratic Party play, no matter how much damage it does to their own reputations."

What consequences personalities on MSNBC and CNN need to have:

"The reaction to Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s book about how the White House “hid” Joe Biden’s mental decline has been brutal – and fittingly so. But their book inadvertently reveals something even worse about today’s corporate journalists.

"Tapper and Thompson would have us believe that they were shocked! shocked! to discover that Biden was suffering serious and worsening mental infirmities while president, because the White House had so expertly hidden them. And that it was only through their intrepid reporting that the truth can now be told.

"This is laughable on its face.

"The stories the authors recount were all known by journalists all along. How else could they have churned out a book in a matter of months after Biden left office? Every story in that book, every one, was known to White House reporters who diligently refused to report them at the time. That includes “revelations” in the book such as that:A small, tight-knit group in former President Joe Biden’s inner circle was running the White House like a ‘politburo,’ and they were the ‘ultimate decision-makers’ as Biden’s health and cognitive function continued to decline.

"Tapper himself was one of the worst offenders. Just watch any of the long and damning collection of clips circulating on social media, like the one below, showing Tapper parroting White House talking points."

"What’s amazing about it all is that even as they were covering for Biden, reporters knew the public wasn’t buying their spin. Polls consistently showed that vast majorities of the public were concerned about Biden’s mental infirmities. Our latest I&I/TIPP poll, which we will report on Wednesday, finds that by a stunning 2-to-1 margin, Americans agree that the media covered up former Biden’s mental infirmities." . . .

Here are the ‘politburo’ members who were really running the Biden White House, according to ‘Original Sin’ authors

I have to think they have been the same members of the "Free, free Palestine" group. How can one not? 

Cisgender and Latinx Democrats Agree: Ditch the Wokespeak

Experts Now Recommend Changing Your Gender Fluid Every 3 Months Or 3,000 TikTok Posts

. . ."Our panel of experts discovered that many in the LGBTQ+ community who identify as gender-fluid started to become increasingly "cisgender" after about 3 months or after burning through about 3,000 TikTok posts," said Professor of Gender studies at Yale University, Dr. Fifi Fishman. "They really need to watch for the warning signs that their gender fluids are starting to become stagnant and sludge-like."  . . .Babylon Bee, of course.

"Do you know that you are a cis-male?” comedian Norm Macdonald asked a flummoxed Stephen Merchant, the co-creator of The Office, nine years ago. Macdonald explained of the peculiar “cis” prefix: “It’s a way of marginalizing a normal person.”

"At least that amounts to the intent. The result of such terms marginalizes the speaker, at least when in mixed company. Self-marginalization does not work in politics. Some Democrats only recently learned this.

"Cisgender, Latinx, pregnant person, undocumented worker, equity, oligarch, and intersectionality amount to but a few of the buzzwords and buzzphrases used by Democrats more to announce themselves better than everyone else than to win a majority of everyone else over. This clique races not for votes but to see who can use the most characters, and know what each one stands for, in their version of LGBTQIA2S+.

"Other Democrats also grasp the futility of all this for a political party. They are speaking out — all at the same time and saying the same thing because Democrats do it like that — against the wisdom of herdspeak jargon for a 50-plus-one endeavor.

"  'Some words are just too Ivy League-tested terms,” Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona told the Washington Post. “I’m going to piss some people off by saying this, but ‘social equity’ — why do we say that? Why don’t we say, ‘We want you to have an even chance’?”...

Crockett: We Will Investigate Trump, Family When Dems Take House Back 

"Crockett said, “Well, Alex, I’m glad you asked." . . .

 "Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that the Democratic Party will take the majority in the 2026 midterms and investigate President Donald Trump and his family.

Witt said, “I’m curious if the Democrats take over after the midterms next year, the House and or Senate, do you think they’re going to push for investigations into Trump’s family and the whole crypto acquisitions that he has getting?”

Crockett said, “Well, Alex, I’m glad you asked. Listen, so long as we end up taking the House, which I fully anticipate that we will do, and we are going to work hard to obviously help our senate colleagues as well, then as someone who serves on the Oversight  Committee and hopes to lead the Oversight Committee, I can guarantee you that we will do what we are supposed to do as constitutionally sworn members of the House, which means that we will conduct oversight.”

She continued, “That means that we will investigate. We will look at whether or not this president himself has violated the Emoluments Clause as it relates to say such things as getting a $400 million plane from the Qataris. We also will make sure that we’re looking into all these business deals that they have going on. I mean, think about it this way, Alex. they were going after Hunter because he sat on a board. Think about how much money they are raking, raking in, whether we’re talking about the next golf resort that they’re setting up in Qatar or whether we’re talking about them leveling Gaza, as they’ve talked about and talked about how it would be great beachfront property, whether we’re talking about this crypto scam, the scam that people didn’t even want to walk into and show their faces.”" . . .

‘I’m Not Happy’: President Trump Lays Out ‘Downfall of Russia’ Warning to Putin

"U.S. President Donald Trump is firefighting the Ukraine War he said in comments where he expressed his anger towards the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin for undermining peace talks with rocket attacks on Ukrainian citizens.

"Vladimir Putin’s apparent mission to capture the whole of Ukraine will lead to the “downfall of Russia”, U.S. President Trump has warned while also cautioning President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider keeping his own counsel more often, noting his outbursts have developed the habit of causing “problems” for Ukraine.

"President Trump spoke with evident anger, if not even disgust, as he returned to the White House from the West Point Military Academy on Sunday evening after being prompted for an “update” on the Ukraine war. He said on the airfield tarmac: “Yeah I’ll give you an update, I’m not happy with what Putin’s doing, he’s killing a lot of people.”

Harvard Case Judge Is Obama Appointee Who Oversaw Race Bias Suit

 Next Democrat elected President will likely place her on the Supreme Court.

Federal Judge Upholds Harvard’s Race-Based Admission Criteria  

. . ."The case has been set for oral arguments on July 21 before US District Court Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, who previously ruled in favor of Harvard’s racially motivated admissions policies. Judge Burroughs’ decision was subsequently overruled by the Supreme Court." . . .

Harvard Case Judge Is Obama Appointee Who Oversaw Race Bias Suit   "The judge overseeing Harvard University’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over threats to slash funding has a track record of ruling in favor of the Ivy League school.

"That background makes US District Judge Allison Burroughs a prime candidate to join other members of the judiciary who have drawn Donald Trump’s ire after she was assigned to the lawsuit Monday. She was appointed to the bench by former President Barack Obama in 2014 after a career as a federal prosecutor and private lawyer." . . .

Support Grows for Asian-American Students in Discrimination Lawsuit Against Harvard   . .  ." 'We strongly believe Harvard’s admissions policy, which is hyper-focused on race, is only a Band-Aid that conceals the root cause behind a lack of diversity on college campuses,” he said.

"Wu said statistical evidence presented at a three-week trial in October before U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs shows that Harvard discriminates against Asian-Americans in rural areas." . . .

Back in 2019: Federal Judge Upholds Harvard’s Race-Based Admission Criteria   . . ."Burroughs acknowledged that Asian American applicants “would likely be admitted at a higher rate than white applicants if admissions decisions were made based solely on academic and extracurricular ratings.”

"Parts of the opinion seem inconclusive and speculative. For example, on the personal ratings, Burroughs states

“The disparity in personal ratings suggests that at least some admissions officers might have subconsciously provided tips in the personal rating, particularly to African American and Hispanic applicants to create an alignment between the profile ratings and the race-conscious overall ratings that they were assigning. It also possible, although unsupported by any direct evidence before the court, that part of the statistical disparity resulted from admissions officers’ implicit biases that disadvantaged Asian American applicants in the personal rating relative to white applicants, but advantaged Asian American over whites in the academic rating.”

"That seems like a judicial shrug on a critical allegation of discrimination." . . .
