Muslim Sent Shockwaves Through the Arab World After Going Public With This Video

 Israel Unwired

 What about the so-called “Palestinian” people? Well, they are made up. They have no history in the land of Israel. They have no archaeology to prove that what they claim is true. It’s time for the world to listen to the truth. The ignorant people must stop believing everything they hear about “Palestine.”  


“You don’t need a group that wraps itself in verses while stabbing your future.” What a line that truly defines the nature of what the Muslim Brotherhood is all about. This eloquent spokesman does not defend the norms of many Islamic countries. He is proud to say that the UAE is the exception to the rule, the country with a bright present and future due to their rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"But it is more than just the UAE (or Bahrain). There are many millions of people in the Middle East who are not interested in a radical Islamic lifestyle. They are not necessarily very Western either. But they do not want to kill or be killed. They do not aspire to turn the world into a world dominated by Islam.
"There are millions of Iranians who are dreaming for the rule of the Ayatollahs to end. There are millions of Saudis and Moroccans who are not interested in conflict with neighboring countries. But they are culturally very much decades behind most of the Western world. But as can be observed in many regions in China, this can be changed more quickly than many would think.
"Donald Trump seems to be hedging much of his hopes for a more peaceful future in the Middle East on encouraging a drive towards prosperity as the leading incentive to curb the radical religious elements from dominaing their cultures. Historically, this has not fared very well. But, there are not that many instances over the last few decades of understanding the power of smartphones and other AI-filled gadgets on changing cultural norms. The new world is uniques in this regard. Voices like this brave Arab’s voice ought to be magnified, and then the UAE will not be the exception, but the leader of a growing trend." . . . 

Texas Democrats Turn on Democracy; Running from their state — and their job.

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

   “I, ……, do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of of the State of Texas, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State;”

"For Texas Democrats, it’s all about the power, stupid. And if they can’t win elections to get that power? 
"Then they’re taking their ball and going not home — but to Illinois. You remember Illinois? The state that has a legendary history for stealing elections? Apparently the Texas Democrat legislators are now swarming the state for a tutorial in election stealing and power-grabbing.
"Newsweek reports the story this way:
"Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has threatened to remove what he calls “derelict Democrats” from the state’s House of Representatives if they fail to return by Monday afternoon.
The threat came after numerous Texas Democrats have left their home state and traveled to Illinois in an effort to prevent the state legislature from holding a vote that would approve Republican-backed redistricting maps.
In a letter to the Democrats, Abbott wrote: “Real Texans do not run from a fight. But that’s exactly what most of the Texas House Democrats just did…rather than doing their job and voting on urgent legislation affecting the lives of all Texans, they have fled Texas to deprive the House of the quorum necessary to meet and conduct business.
Well beyond the immediacy of these shenanigans is the message Texas Democrats have now sent to the rest of the country: 
"Democrats are not about principle, they’re about power, stupid." 
Message received.
"The first to get that message was, as noted, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. His answer was plain: Get back here and do your job or you will no longer have that job.
"Well bravo to Gov. Abbott. 
"Can the governor actually strip these renegades of their jobs? Jobs which they presumably fiercely campaigned for? Jobs for which they assured their prospective constituents they would do?
"For those not familiar, here is the what the Texas state Constitution says about their legislative jobs: " . . .

Texas Redistricting Breaks The Democratic Party

  Issues & Insights

"Newsom’s clumsy attempt to score a point prompted CNN commentator Scott Jennings to say, “Trump is truly blessed by the dumbest opposition.' ”*


"Consider what has transpired in the past few weeks and ask yourself which political party is acting like petulant children.

"Earlier this year, the Justice Department found that four Texas districts drawn in 2021 are “unconstitutionally racially biased” because they violate the equal protection clause and “must be rectified immediately.”

"Hans von Spakovsky, an election law expert at the Heritage Foundation, notes that not only did those Texas districts violate the Constitution, but the boundaries they drew in 2021 were based on faulty 2020 Census data, which had missed half a million Texans, and didn’t reflect the influx of 2 million people over the past five years.

"So, the state redrew districts to pass constitutional muster and reflect the reality of Texas’ population, which, because it ends up creating more Republican-favored districts, sparked an unhinged national outrage.

"Democratic state legislators fled Texas so they could block a vote on the new district boundaries – a flagrant attempt to thwart the democratic process that also violates Texas law.

"Democratic leaders around the country lost their collective minds, beclowning themselves and the party they lead in the process.

"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries promised that “Democrats are going to respond from coast to coast and at all points in between to this effort to steal the midterm elections.” (In 2021, Jeffries called Trump a “pathological liar” a “sociopath” and a “malignant narcissist” for claiming that Democrats stole the 2020 election,)

"Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker proudly claimed to be providing sanctuary to the runaway Texans, “’cause we know they’re doing the right thing, we know that they’re following the law.”

"Pritzker claims to be fighting a valiant battle against “gerrymandering” – in which district lines are drawn purposely to favor one party or another. It’s is an unfortunate reality in politics, one hated by whichever party is on the losing end.

"But Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the land, with districts that bob and weave all over the place to guarantee the maximum number of seats that can be controlled by Democrats. In fact, Illinois gets “Fs” across the board from the Princeton University Gerrymandering Project. It’s so bad that even Democratic water-carrying “comedian” Stephen Colbert confronted Pritzer about it on his soon-to-be-canceled late-night show." . . .  More here...

Boasberg slapped again... this one will leave a mark...

  Revolver News 

"Josh Gerstein: In 2-1 ruling, DC Circuit overturns Judge Boasberg's order initiating contempt proceedings against Trump admin over Alien Enemies Act Deportations."

"Another day, another humiliating smackdown for Obama-appointed, Trump Derangement Syndrome–infected Judge James Boasberg. This time, it’s a 2–1 ruling from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals overturning his latest stunt—an order that would have initiated “contempt” proceedings against the Trump administration over the Alien Enemies Act deportations. The ruling was a majority opinion from two Trump-appointed judges, with the lone dissent coming from… yep, you guessed it… an Obama appointee.

"The latest win means mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act will continue, despite Dems’ desperate obsession with keeping dangerous criminals in the country illegally. Boasberg’s efforts to derail this America First enforcement weren’t just a legal flop; they were a political stunt that blew up in his face.

"He and the Dems look foolish."


Indiana U Study Finds Anti-Israel Activism is ‘Highly Coordinated’

 College Insurrection

"Other “top collaborators” include Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Chicago, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, and DISSENTERS."

"We probably didn’t need a study to know this, but confirmation is a good thing.

"The College Fix reports:

Anti-Israel activism is ‘highly coordinated,’ Indiana University study concludes

Anti-Israel activism is “highly coordinated” through one main group, an Indiana University study concluded. One of the co-authors told The College Fix that campuses which combat hostility can see less of it, but there can also be backlash.

The “central node” is the national Students for Justice in Palestine, “which functions as a strategic and narrative hub,” Professor Günther Jikeli wrote in the 61-page report. Jikeli leads the university’s Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and is a recipient of the Raoul Wallenberg Prize in Human Rights and Holocaust Studies by the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation and Tel Aviv University.

The researchers also wrote in their report that criticism of Israel is not always the same as antisemitism. “While political debate and student activism are vital to academic freedom, the rhetoric and actions of some groups now frequently cross the line into antisemitism, creating a hostile climate for many Jewish students and faculty,” the report stated. Many of the posts reflect Hamas messaging, the study alleges.

“Our analysis focuses on documented antisemitic incidents and on online activity where anti-Israel activism intersects with the glorification of violence and the amplification of extremist narratives,” the authors wrote in an introductory note.

However, many anti-Israel groups promote violence, the report alleges." . . .

Comment to the above post: "And our spoiled college students are not at all repulsed that Hamas got carried away with the killing and the blood and the ferocity. Apparently, the little snowflakes that require safe spaces from disturbing ideas are just fine with rape and baby killing if the cause is just. And they are convinced that the Palestinian cause is just.

"There is somebody beyond these two groups plotting behind the scenes. Somebody is paying the bills and greasing the way forward."

Biden abused his authority by turning FEMA into a far-left political machine

 Miranda Devine

 "It began the minute Joe Biden came into office, when he concocted a fake voter registration crisis by leveraging the same racial discord that he had exploited during the George Floyd riots . . ." 

 "The Biden administration abused its power by turning the entire mechanism of the federal government into a Democratic voter mobilization campaign, according to newly unearthed White House documents viewed exclusively by The Post.

"The worst offender was FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, which was controlled for four years by Biden’s Machiavellian border buster Alejandro Mayorkas.

"When responding to an emergency or a natural disaster, FEMA employees were directed to make voter registration a “key priority.” . . .

FEMA snubbed GOP

"FEMA employees were so fixated on voter outreach that, when they visited hurricane-ravaged Florida last October, they didn’t even bother knocking on the doors of houses that had Trump signs in the yard

"Instead of assisting Hurricane Milton survivors, they were instructed to “avoid homes advertising Trump,” according to an Office of Special Counsel complaint.

"FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington was fired as a scapegoat after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called foul on the scam and the Daily Wire reported that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags had been skipped by FEMA and denied the opportunity of qualifying for federal assistance.

"It stands to reason that if FEMA’s priority was getting out Democrats to vote, the last people they would want to visit were Trump supporters.

"The Florida scandal came on the heels of the Biden administration’s sluggish response to Hurricane Helene in Trump-supporting rural areas of North Carolina and Tennessee.

"Whether it was Hurricane Helene, the Maui wildfires, Hurricane Ian, or the East Palestine train derailment in Ohio, FEMA always came up short during the Biden years.

"The agency’s inadequate performance is more understandable when you realize that providing actual disaster relief to victims had become simply a side dish to the partisan political priorities of the Democratic Party." . . .

FEMA workers told to ‘avoid homes’ with Trump signs in hurricane-ravaged Florida community  Liberal sites deny this, but it is documented as truthful: 

FEMA Chief Admits: 'We Skipped Trump Supporters' Homes During Hurricane Relief Efforts - EconoTimes 

"The controversy emerged when a whistleblower reported that certain FEMA officials considered Trump supporters as "domestic terrorists," leading to deliberate avoidance of their homes during relief efforts."

Insufferable Diva, the Boss from Hell: Jasmine Crockett

 Conservative Firing Line  

Isn't that the same way that Kamala Harris's staff described her? The Dems aren't sending their best, are they. Both Crockett and Harris are cut from the same cloth, highly irritating wool.

 

We could have guessed how Jasmine Crockett is to her staff, since Kamala Harris was an absolute jerk to hers too (and Amy Klobuchar, etc. etc.).  It seems to be a trend. Jasmine’s staff are saying that she’s the “boss from hell” who “terrorizes them.” Remember that Kamala had a constant avalanche of staffers abandoning her ship for years. Crockett appears to be the same kind of twisted diva." . . .
“Who could have possibly guessed that Crockett is not only insufferable, but she’s also incredibly lazy. There were just no[t] signs. But really, this is exactly what you’d expect from someone who is such a loudmouth in public. The vulgarity and constant dramatics aren’t the kind of thing thworse when the cameras are off.

For example, Crockett makes her staffers rent an “Escalade” to transport her to and from hearings and votes at the Capitol Building. Whichever unlucky staffer picks her up is then forced to act like a chauffeur, standing by the vehicle and then driving her around like she’s royalty.” Red State

. . . "For those of you unfamiliar with an Escalade – it’s an expensive Cadillac SUV. Expensive is the operative word. They can run as high as $148,000 USED.   They can rent anywhere from $150-$400.  Of course, Ms. Diva the Boss from Hell can afford it."
So there you have it.  She’s not just vile, or a ranting diva, she’s also the “boss from hell.” She made fun of a Governor in a wheelchair, called Trump every name in the book like “Temu Hitler” and other things. She treats her staff as badly as she treats the American people – and she thinks she’s smarter than everyone else. She’s not, by the way.

Adam Schiff may be in serious trouble in a case that should be easy to prove -

 Andrea Widburg; American Thinker  

"Nevertheless, I would suggest that anyone whom Schiff defamed on the floor of the House immediately look into filing a defamation suit against him."


. . . "Back in May, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) sent a referral letter to AG Pam Bondi, accusing Schiff of wrongdoing:

Mr. Schiff appears to have falsified records in order to receive favorable loan terms, and also appears to have been aware of the financial benefits of a primary residence mortgage when compared to a secondary residence mortgage as a spokesperson in 2023 told the media outlet CNN that, “Adam’s California and Maryland addresses have been listed as primary residences for loan purposes because they are both occupied throughout the year and to distinguish them from a vacation property.”

. . ."For the record, for mortgage purposes, the law doesn’t care how you use your property. However, you will get better mortgage rates only for the one property you designate as your primary residence.

"According to the FHFA referral, what Schiff did, while it might have made good sense to him financially, could have constituted a criminal act:" . . .

. . . "Nevertheless, I would suggest that anyone whom Schiff defamed on the floor of the House immediately look into filing a defamation suit against him. That’s because Schiff’s statements will retroactively have lost the protections granted congressmen under the Speech and Debate clause (Art I, Sec. 6, Cl. 1). It sure would be fun to see Schiff face one or more multimillion dollar defamation suits—and if I were the plaintiff’s lawyer, I would argue that any statute of limitations only started running at the moment it was discovered that Schiff’s tenure in the House was a fraud."

VDH: Why DEI was already dying

 Victor Davis Hanson 

"Fourth, does the word "minority" still carry any currency? In today's California, the demography breaks down as 40% Latino, 34% White, 16% Asian American or Pacific Islander, 6% Black, and 3% Other — with no significant majority and whites fewer than the Latino "minority.' "


"President Donald Trump's executive orders banning Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI)-related racial and gender preferencing have ostensibly doomed the DEI industry.
"But DEI was already on its last legs. Half of all Americans no longer approve of racial, ethnic, or gender preferences.
"DEI had enjoyed a surge following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent 120 days of nonstop rioting, arson, assaults, killings, and attacks on law enforcement during the summer of 2020.
"In those chaotic years, DEI was seen as the answer to racial tensions.
"DEI had insidiously replaced the old notion of affirmative action — a 1960s-era government remedy for historical prejudices against black Americans, from the legacy of slavery to Jim Crow segregation.
"But during the Obama era, "diversity" superseded affirmative action by offering preferences to many groups well beyond black Americans.
"Quite abruptly, Americans began talking in Marxist binaries.
"On one side were the supposed 65–70 percent white majority "oppressors" and "victimizers" — often stereotyped as exuding "white privilege," "white supremacy," or even "white rage."
"They were juxtaposed to the 25–30% of "diverse" Americans, the so-called "oppressed" and "victimized."
"Yet almost immediately, contradictions and hypocrisies undermined DEI.
"First, how does one define "diverse" in an increasingly multiracial, intermarried, assimilated, and integrated society?
"DNA badges?
"The old one-drop rule of the antebellum South?
"Superficial appearance?" . . .

. . . "The Democratic Party is collapsing in a cesspool of its own creation. "

Democrats are now the 'party of evil,' and we have seen this evil even back in 2019   

. . . "Gangs of progressive screamers showing up in restaurants to publicly harass Republican officials or politicians? The left-wing media say they are not really “mobs.”They’re principled, youthful protestors trying to build a kinder, gentler, socialist world for every American who’s not rich enough to buy their own car."

 COLUMN: New book details why Democrats have become dangerous | Opinion | gazette.com . . . "Sadly, many Democratic voters don’t understand how dangerous their leadership has become, getting their news exclusively from left-leaning sources — The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, social media, etc. — and interacting only with liberal friends and co-workers, they live in a self-affirming information bubble that distorts reality to enforce a narrative that Democrats are good and Republicans are evil." . . .

. . . " A major initiative of the Democratic Party was stacking universities with left-leaning professors. In the 1960s, many bright and affluent students in elite universities avoided the Vietnam era draft by staying in school to earn post-graduate degrees. They tended to be anti-war Democrats. Many chose university teaching careers to influence the next generation of students and ultimately controlled which faculty members were hired and who would receive tenure. Today, university professors are overwhelmingly Democrats who advocate for extreme liberal philosophies and policies and actively disparage and suppress conservative ideas.

"Once established at the university level, Democrats were positioned to influence ensuing generations of K-12 public-school teachers who then passionately advocated for liberal ideas and social policies. Today, class [curricula] are peppered with liberal propaganda, our public schools are controlled by Democrats and will be for decades. With control of public schools, they influence and indoctrinate children. Given the political leanings of its members who overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, the major teacher unions are megaphones for the Democratic Party. The Democrats they elect return the favor with lucrative salaries, benefits, and pensions for their members … Mike Rosen book review

Why the Democrats Are in Such a Terrible State   . . . "Why are the Democrats floundering so badly? There are several reasons, all interrelated: First and foremost, the Democrats have held too much power across too many industries (politics, the media, the entertainment industry, academia) for too long.

"As often happens, they abused that power: manipulating the electoral process, weaponizing the justice system to go after political opponents, censoring dissenting voices in traditional and social media, poisoning education and entertainment with "woke" garbage, and lying to the public." . . .

. . . "This is not to lay all the blame at the feet of Democrats. To the contrary, they have been aided and abetted by Republicans, some of whom so desperately crave press approval that they capitulate on every important issue."

Dems, Media Richly Deserve Their Dismal Ratings | The American Spectator

 "Anyone old enough to have watched the original Star Wars film on the big screen will clearly remember the scene in which Obi-Wan Kenobi advises Luke Skywalker that the Mos Eisley settlement is “a wretched hive of scum and villainy.” According to a new Wall Street Journal poll, this is very much the way most voters view the Democratic Party. Specifically, the survey found that 63 percent of voters hold an unfavorable view of “the Party of Jefferson and Jackson.” Considering the absurd antics to which voters have been subjected by these people, it’s remarkable that their numbers aren’t worse." . . .

It has long been blindingly obvious to any objective observer that the majority of “mainstream news outlets” collude with the Democrats to create political narratives to benefit the latter. Conversely, these same news organizations routinely slant their coverage of Republicans in a way that is both dishonest and openly hostile.

Progressive Don Quixotes: Tilting At Windfarms

 Legal Insurrection   

"And the wind doesn’t blow all the time… Where do you store solar or wind energy? No such mass-storage system exists… All of them require backup. And guess what the go-to back-up is: fossil fuel."


. . . "Trump recently warned EU leaders that the rapidly proliferating windfarms are ecologically and economically detrimental, in addition to being an aesthetic disaster, spoiling Europe’s magnificent beauty. Unsurprisingly, mainstream leftist media exploded with mockery and attacks, comparing Trump’s advice to Don Quixote’s futile tilting at windmills.

"Don Quixote’s windmills happened to be imaginary monsters, yet he was uncannily prescient, as today’s windfarms are a real and present danger. The giant turbines that currently disfigure our landscapes and seascapes waste fertile land and ocean space. They harm whales and annually kill hundreds of thousands of birds, including bald and golden eagles, burrowing owls, and migratory birds and bats. They are prohibitively expensive and perilously unreliable. Alex Epstein, a renowned expert on energy and economics, explains:

Yes, the sun is free. Yes, wind is free. But the process of turning sunlight and wind into useable energy on a mass scale is far from free. In fact, compared to the other sources of energy – fossil fuels, nuclear power, and hydroelectric power, solar and wind power are very expensive.

The basic problem is that sunlight and wind as energy sources are both weak (the more technical term is dilute) and unreliable (the more technical term is intermittent). It takes a lot of resources to collect and concentrate them, and even more resources to make them available on-demand…

For wind, needed materials include high-performance compounds for turbine blades and the rare-earth metal neodymium for lightweight, specialty magnets, as well as the steel and concrete necessary to build structures – thousands of them – as tall as skyscrapers…    More...

Trump Cancels Giant Biden-Era Wind Energy Boondoggle   . . ."Not only are these windmills big and ugly, but they also kill so many hawks, eagles, and other large birds that the federal government is reluctant to release numbers. The primary problem, though, as always, remains energy density. Wind power suffers from the standard problems in "green" energy; it is intermittent, it is unreliable, and it comes with only a fraction of the energy density of traditional fuels. If these installations were economically feasible, they wouldn't require subsidies; that plants like the proposed Lava Ridge Wind Project never seem to be privately funded speaks volumes." . . .
