Ted Cruz Debates Code Pink on Iran Nuclear Deal
Phyllis Chesler "Alice Schwarzer, the leading feminist of Germany and the founder of EMMA magazine, introduced the German edition of Women and Madness way back in the early nineteen-seventies. Over the years, I've appeared in Emma's pages as an interviewee; they have also excerpted some of my work.
"Well, she, and her interpreter, Sophie Bettina Flitner, came to see me and a really good time was had by all.
"Given the feminist and lesbian-"queer" hardline positions against Israel, I was thrilled to find out that Alice and I not only agreed on sex-based rights over and above gender-based rights, and on issues such as commercial surrogacy, pornography, prostitution, and on the trans issues--but also on Islamism, women under Sharia law, Islamic Jihad, and the alarming global rise in Jew and Israel hatred.
"We also agreed on the tragic rise of Jew hatred and Israel hatred among so-called feminists. She was happy/disconsolate to discover that what she calls the faux-feminist movement in Germany is much like its sad and sorry counterpart in America and elsewhere in Europe and Australia.
"Please understand: I have both lost and left countless feminist and faux-feminist colleagues and friends. They are completely drunk on every kind of Kool-Aid propaganda. There is absolutely no getting through to them. One of the few real feminists with whom I am still in touch actually just sent me an article written by one of the two CODEPINK Ladies, Medea Benjamin and Jodi Evans, who are funded by far left/Marxist billionaires, and whose position on Israel and Palestine is, in my considered view, far beneath contempt.
"Yes, we are that far apart.
"Neither Benjamin nor Evans is a feminist activist, although many feminists point to them as feminist heroes.
"For example, through her foundation, The Benjamin Fund (assets total $47.9 million), Medea Benjamin has granted funds to American Muslims for Palestine, Amnesty International, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, etc. In November of 2023, post-Hamas's 10/7 pogrom-on-steroids, CODEPINK organized demonstrations, protests, and disruptions "to demand an immediate end to the brutal siege of Gaza and the cessation of all U.S. aid to Israel--and, that same month, 11/23, they demanded that President Biden "Stop Supporting Israeli Apartheid." CODEPINK got themselves arrested for interrupting a Senate hearing on aid to Israel. They also signed a letter which urged "international support for South Africa's genocide case against the state of Israel.
"Their anti-Israel focus goes on and on. They've partnered with Samidoun and Jewish Voice for Peace (oh please, do check them out); they've also endorsed "Global Days of Action for Palestine." Please read about CODEPINK's long history in my colleague Gerald Steinberg's totally trustworthy report, NGO-Monitor." . . .

REVEALED: Who Is Funding The Anti-ICE Protests In California? Bass and Newsom are trying to maneuver President Trump into making them into Martyrs.
'This Violence Isn't Spontaneous': Senator Hawley Has Questions on LA Riots, Vows Investigation "While law enforcement, the National Guard, and the Marines are working to contain the mess in the Los Angeles area and, now, in some other major cities, some are beginning to wonder who's bankrolling all this. The rebels are strangely well-equipped; many of them have what appear to be professionally printed signs and the like." . . .
From the website of NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute:
"Serious journalism begins with an ideal of public service, a commitment to truth, accuracy, and fairness, and a belief that democracy can work if people know what is happening in their world. We believe that a free press plays an essential part in our republican form of government by fostering a healthy marketplace of ideas and helping to hold public officials accountable to the people.
"One part of the journalistic tradition commands the journalist to act ethically and in pursuit of truth. Another part protects the press under the umbrella of First Amendment law. A third strand in that tradition is the long history of journalism and its achievements and struggles. A fourth is the record of great work, the outstanding literature of journalism, which teaches by example. Ethics, law, history, the literature: these weave together to lend depth and direction to the practical training the program offers." . . .
The Federalist: Right Media Scooped Jake Tapper On Joe Biden’s Cheap Fake Presidency . . ."CNN did Democrats’ dirty work for them, reporting over the years that “Trump’s gaffes should raise questions about his fitness for office” (2018), “Doctors want President Trump’s head examined” (2018) and brought in his political foes as well with “James Clapper questions Trump’s fitness for office” (2017) and Nikki “Haley questions Trump’s mental fitness” (2024).
When a slew of videos went viral last June showing Biden having difficulty in public events, the Washington Post rushed to explain, “How Republicans used misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period,” echoing the White House assertion that these videos were “cheap fakes.”

Greta Thunberg and 'selfie yacht' pals refused to watch 'horror film of the Oct. 7 massacre': Israel “Greta and her flotilla companions were taken into a room upon their arrival for a screening of the horror film of the October 7 massacre,” Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said of the group’s arrival in the port of Ashdod after they were detained about 125 miles off the coast Monday." . . .
. . . "But “when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching,” Katz said, according to The Times of Israel.

"The pitcher threw a shutout and helped bring a state championship home to Champlin Park High School.
“To be expected when your star player is a boy,” Gaines wrote in response to a photo of the team celebrating the winning season.
"Simone Biles quickly jumped in with this post:
@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender…
The next question that needs answering is who was feeding him this info on ICE agents while he was sitting at home?
"Leftists are perfectly happy dishing out punishment to those they disagree with, even if it means putting conservatives in danger. But they absolutely lose it completely when the right pushes back meaningfully.
"While radical leftists have been torching Los Angeles for the past three days, a person running the X account, LA Scanner, has been doxxing the locations of ICE agents trying to deport illegal aliens in LA. By doing so, he has been putting the lives of federal officers in danger.
"Here are a few examples.

Conservatives were rightfully outraged upon learning what the person behind this account was doing and demanded that the Trump Administration take action to protect the officers. But some accounts decided not to wait and gave the doxxer a taste of his own medicine.
"Upon discovering the meaning of karma, the individual running LA Scanner lost it.
“ 'I recently discovered several posts containing my family’s name and home addresses,” the person running the LA Scanner X account wrote. “This is unacceptable and violates our privacy.
"The angry person then threatened to kill anyone who showed up at his house with supposed “harmful intentions.”Upon discovering the meaning of karma, the individual running LA Scanner lost it.

"Jackson said that during his time as Director of the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), he was responsible for signing O’Connor’s evaluations and fitness reports. During the interview, he said he thought about getting rid of O’Connor for a “variety of reasons” before accusing Biden’s doctor of inappropriate sexual behavior.
“One was because of some very inappropriate behavior on his part,” Jackson stated.
"Jackson said O’Connor would take other people’s phones and put them down his pants near his groin as a prank, as well as make sexually inappropriate comments that upset female coworkers. Jackson did not provide specific places or dates where the conduct allegedly occurred. He also did not identify the women who were allegedly subjected to the behavior." ...

Gaza Doesn’t Need Greta. Greta Needs Gaza.
"Climate strikes now feel like performance art without a crowd. Greta milked that movement for all it was worth. She scolded world leaders, graced magazine covers, and scowled from yachts — but the act wore thin. The public lost interest. And so did she. So Greta found a new crisis. A hotter one. Messier, bloodier, morally juicier. Because when climate fatigue sets in and your brand starts slipping, you don’t go quiet. You go bigger. You get on a boat. You sail into a war."
Sky News Australia "Sky News host Sharri Markson discusses the “absurdity” of Greta Thunberg’s Israel kidnapping claim “spectacle”.
“The absurdity of the world in which we live, from Greta Thunberg to a prominent American Jew being denied entry to Australia, Greta is a morally repugnant and confused woman,” Ms Markson said. “She swapped her cause de jour from climate activism to hatred of the Jewish state of Israel … she tried to go and save Gaza, not from the terrorists, mind you, as Israel is trying to do, but from Israel and when she was stopped and given a sandwich, she released a video claiming she had been kidnapped.”
But that was almost two years ago, and being out of the spotlight for too long doesn’t sit well with Thunberg. So it was that she announced that she and a group of young Marxist (and, seemingly, terrorist embracing) celebrities were going to break the Israeli embargo on those not-starving Gazans by traveling in a motorized yacht with enough food to feed a few not-starving people for a couple of hours, performing all the way:
"Apparently, the rioting is being funded by taxpayers, and there is reportedly a connection with Kamala Harris, the vice president and “border czar” from the previous White House."
. . ."According to Homeland Security, “Under Biden, the average number of monthly border encounters was nearly 160,000. The daily average peaked at 15,000. In total,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection “recorded approximately 11 million border encounters over the course of Biden’s four years.”
"Illegal border crossings averaged more than 51,00 a month over the last four months of 2024, then fell to fewer than 15,000 a month for the first quarter of 2025, and that includes the last 20 days of the Biden administration when migrants were hurrying across the border before Trump took office.
"Overall, “about 5.4 million migrants crossed into the U.S. illegally over the past four years,” the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard wrote in March, “making former President Joe Biden the record-holder for the worst border enforcement ever.”
"Simply put, Biden left Trump with a monumental mess to clean up, a dirty job voters said they wanted Trump to carry out. Had Biden been responsible rather than malicious, there would be no reason for the arrests that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are making, and the violence that has followed the apprehensions.
"These are the Joe Biden riots."

"After violent anti-ICE riots swept through Los Angeles and now San Francisco—complete with federal agents injured, cars torched, and highways blocked by destructive insurrectionists flying the flags of other nations—President Trump exercised his clear constitutional authority and federalized portions of the California National Guard under Title 10.
"Newsom’s response? He called—completely lacking any hint of circumspection—the deployment “unlawful” and “a direct assault on state sovereignty”. He even labeled it “purposefully inflammatory.”
"That’s not just wrong—it’s nearly laughable, save that it actually gives aid and comfort to those wreaking havoc in the streets of his state. And it’s revealing. When a governor refuses to do his duty, he doesn’t get to cry foul when the president steps in to do it for him.
"In fact, it’s the governor’s rhetoric that’s inflammatory. Far from restoring calm and control, it’s throwing fuel on the fire.
"Let’s be clear: the president’s authority to nationalize the Guard is not new, novel, or remotely in question." . . .

. . . "To consolidate Democrat power, Democrats need foreigners beholden to free stuff. Now they have several states loaded with these counterfeit voters. Los Angeles is only the beginning."
"Former presidents are seen as elder statesmen, possessing unique moral authority that could signal a bipartisan rejection of the L.A. riots and lawlessness, thus reinforcing the U.S. Constitution. However, none of the former presidents, including Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, has publicly condemned the riots marked by violence, looting, and attacks on law enforcement."
"California Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass are not silent. They have consistently issued strong rhetoric against federal actions and the vilification of ICE, which encourages resistance to law enforcement and undermines the rule of law, which is being amplified in the mainstream news. Such attitudes pose a serious risk, leading to an increase in crime and disorder, endangering public safety, and will spread to other Democrat-controlled cities.
"Clinton, Bush, and Obama were not silent in 2021. They publicly condemned the Capitol protests by pro-Trump supporters on January 6 of that year, calling them an attack on our democratic values. They issued their statements on the very day of the event."
