Deja Vu: German Pizzeria Owner Bans Israelis From Restaurant

 RedState; The Original John Doe 
 "Furthermore, the vast majority of the aid that enters Gaza is stolen by the terrorist organization Hamas. According to the United Nations' own reports, Hamas has stolen nearly 90 percent of all the aid that has entered Gaza since the war began."

"First, a Flensburg shop drew outrage for banning Jews. Now a celebrated Fürth pizzeria has posted a notice banning Israelis. Here is the owner's background and how the story unfolded.

"Fifty-year-old Gaspare Squitieri was born and raised in the small town of Sarno, Italy, 21 miles east of Naples. Squitieri has been working in the pizza business since he was 13 years old. He has lived in Germany since at least 2014, where he teaches professional pizza courses at Accademia della Pizza Deutschland in Nuremberg.

"Gaspare Squitieri opened his pizzeria in partnership with Matteo Celentano in Fürth, Germany, on October 20, 2019, under the name Naples - authentic Neapolitan Pizza. Squitieri and Celentano parted ways in 2021, and Squitieri renamed his establishment Pizza Zulu. The pizzeria relocated to its current address, Königstraße 81, in September 2023. The logo above the door features an illustration of Squitieri with a beard and bald head. Squitieri has earned a reputation as one of the best pizza chefs in the world. In 2023, Pizza Zulu was ranked as the best pizza in Germany, 5th best in Europe, and 32nd best in the world.

"Then, on Wednesday, September 24, everything changed when Squitieri posted, in plain view of all the customers, a sign on the restaurant's wall noticeboard that banned Israelis from his establishment. Suddenly, Pizza Zulu's hard‑won reputation for culinary excellence was no longer the focus." . . .

Can This Nation Be Saved?

J.B. Shurk

FBI SWAT teams busted into the homes of ordinary families in predawn raids to make it clear to MAGA Americans that — unlike Antifa and Black Lives Matter members — conservatives enjoy no “privilege” to protest official authorities in the United States. 

. . . "How could people at the height of their professions possibly describe the indictment of Jim Comey as “unprecedented”?  Americans for the last ten years have witnessed abject weaponization of the Justice Department and Intelligence Community against Donald Trump, his associates, and his supporters.  Hillary Clinton’s inner circle and Barack Obama’s trusted lieutenants co-opted  the FBI and CIA in an effort to frame Donald Trump as a Russian spy, remove him from office, and perhaps even convict him for treason.  Jim Comey was instrumental in this nefarious plot.  As journalist Matt Taibbi said the other day, “think of the national security implications of implying that your own president is a spy for a foreign country. ... You can’t have an FBI director doing ... these sorts of manipulations and lying to Congress about it and getting away with it.”

"Yet the Russia Collusion Hoax was only one part of a decade-long effort to destroy Trump and his MAGA movement.  Democrat saboteurs working for the U.S. military and CIA turned a normal conversation with the president of Ukraine into Trump’s first impeachment.  Then the FBI and DOJ labeled the January 6, 2021 protest against election fraud an “insurrection” — laying the grounds for Congress to pursue a truly unprecedented post-presidential impeachment.  For years, FBI director Chris Wray lied to Congress and the American people about the presence of federal law enforcement officers near the Capitol that day.  Only in 2025 have we now learned that nearly three hundred plainclothes FBI agents were on the ground during the protest, along with dozens of informants and an unknown number of other federal and local agents, all possibly stirring up mayhem." . . .

What We Know About Nigel Max Edge, Former Marine Sniper Charged in Horrific NC Waterfront Mass Shooting

"The suspect, formerly known as Sean DeBevoise bedfore he changed his name in 2023, reportedly has a complicated and troubled past, and law enforcement sources indicated that he engaged with numerous Q-Anon conspiracy theories. He also once escorted former “American Idol” contestant Kelly Pickler to the CMT Music Awards, but later sued her, claiming she had tried to kill him by poisoning his drink."

Michigan church shooting leaves 4 dead, suspect identified as 40-year-old man  "Sadly, the spate of mass shootings we’ve been seeing in this country continued Sunday morning, as at least 10 people were shot and two killed in a nightmarish shooting at an LDS church in Michigan."

"Authorities are still working to recover additional victims after a violent attack on a Mormon church in Michigan left at least four people dead on Sunday.

"Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, of Burton, Michigan, is accused of ramming his truck into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, just before 10:30 a.m. Police said he then got out of the truck and started firing on churchgoers with a rifle. About 150 people were attending services at the time. Police said Sanford then used an accelerant, likely gasoline, to set the church on fire. Sanford was shot and killed by police. 

"Police confirmed that four people have died. Seven others are in stable condition, and one remains in critical condition. Two victims were killed by gunfire while the other two were found after the fire. 


President Trump posted:
"The FBI was immediately on scene, and will be leading the Federal Investigation, and providing full support to State and Local Officials," Trump wrote. "The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. The Trump Administration will keep the Public posted, as we always do. In the meantime, PRAY for the victims, and their families. THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!"

"On September 28, 2025, a devastating attack shook Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, when 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, a U.S. Marine veteran, crashed his Chevy Silverado into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, opened fire, killed two, injured nine, and set the building ablaze. This true crime documentary dives into the chaos of the assault, from shattered glass and gunfire to the discovery of pipe bombs wired with nails. Thomas, a family man with a son battling congenital hyperinsulinism, seemed ordinary—yet signs of unrest emerged, like a “Stop Trump Vance” sign on his fence and unverified claims of political donations. Was this a targeted strike against the LDS faith or a veteran’s descent into chaos?"

Anti-ICE shooter was lazy stoner who relocated to Washington to pick pot, ex-boss says: ‘He was all about the weed’

 AOL News

"The anti-ICE gunman who killed one migrant and wounded two others at a Dallas ICE facility on Wednesday was once a pot-obsessed slacker who hustled marijuana from Washington back to his home state of Texas, according to his ex-boss." . . .


. . . "While the killer’s political motives remain under investigation, his mother, Sharon, posted a series of anti-gun rants on Facebook, blasting Texas Republican lawmakers who supported the Second Amendment.

"A relative told The Post that Jahn was not a radical leftist and didn’t hate immigration agents, despite the anti-ICE sentiment written on the unspent bullet and the note found by the FBI.

"But back in 2017, Jahn didn’t seem out of the ordinary, Sanderson said.

" 'I thought, ‘God, what happened to him?’ He didn’t seem like somebody who would do something like that, but you never know who people are,” he recalled after learning Jahn was the gunman.

“Then something took a turn for the worse because he ballooned up in size, he gained a bunch of weight, probably just being miserable,” he added upon seeing his photo. “That’s just my take on it.”

“ 'He was just your typical 21-year-old who liked to smoke weed.' ” More...

Detainees shot in attack on Dallas ICE facility identified, source says. Here’s what we know about the victims  . . . "The wife of one of the detainees shot in the attack on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas earlier this week says her husband is nearly unrecognizable: unconscious and ravaged by bullets as machines do the work of keeping him alive.

"The detainees, identified by a source familiar with the investigation as Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez of Mexico, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela and Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, were shot while they were in a van at the facility’s fortified sally port, a controlled entry point commonly found in prisons and on military bases, the Department of Homeland Security said." . . .

How sad to leave earth at the hands of a stoner and a mindless stabber instead of by some noble, honorable act. TD

Comey Faces Indictment, but His Real Crimes Remain Untouched   
. . . "He is not being investigated for usurping the role of the DOJ in 2016 when, as an FBI investigator, he served simultaneously as investigator and prosecutor, creating a conflict of interest.
"He was tasked with both finding evidence of Hillary Clinton’s alleged wrongdoing and also making the federal prosecutorial decision whether to indict her for transmitting classified material over an unsecured email server. And after finding evidence of her culpability, he chose not to indict her on the grounds that her candidacy at the time meant no reasonable prosecutor (of which he was then not supposed to be one) would bring such a case against her.
"He is not being investigated for improperly disclosing his newly reopened investigative case against Hillary Clinton on the eve of the 2016 election. Nor is he being investigated for predetermining that Hillary Clinton was innocent of the charges of unlawfully transmitting confidential material before his own FBI investigation was complete—and before Comey’s FBI had even interviewed her." . . .Victor Davis Hanson

Meet The British Billionaire Bankrolling Leftist Causes Across America

 The Federalist   

“Christopher Hohn, and other foreign billionaires like Hansjörg Wyss, have been able to exploit loopholes that allow foreign money to fund policy fights that shape American politics to fit their radical agendas,. . .”


Left-wing politics have utterly destroyed the once-respected nation of Great Britain. And now, its elites are seeking to subsidize these same destructive ideologies throughout the United States.

"On Wednesday, the good government group Americans for Public Trust (APT) released a bombshell report unearthing the extensive financial activity of British billionaire Christopher Hohn in U.S. political causes. Through the use of his nonprofit, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Hohn has “funneled over $553 million into U.S. organizations from 2014 through 2023 to bankroll advocacy campaigns and push a radical green energy agenda,” according to the analysis.

“The American people are overwhelmingly opposed to and alarmed by foreign influence shaping our politics,” APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland said in a statement. “If these radical foreign billionaires are allowed to funnel money into our political system virtually unchecked, there’s nothing stopping foreign adversaries from doing the same.”

The APT report focuses on numerous subject areas touched by Hohn’s foreign dark-money influence, including radical environmentalism.

Per the analysis, the British billionaire is “one of the largest disclosed individual donors to date to the global organization Extinction Rebellion, or XR,” which APT describes as an “international collective founded in 2018 … [that is] behind a series of mob-style protests across the globe.” These demonstrations, according to the report, aim to “’halt mass extinction’ and ‘minimize the risk of social collapse’ [XR] perceives as tied to climate change.”

“XR’s American affiliate has called for ‘rebellion against the U.S. government for its criminal inaction on the ecological crisis,’ and in 2019, claimed that its volunteers had ‘seized’ over twenty intersections in Washington, D.C. during a protest,” the report reads, noting additional arrests in D.C. and New York City during prior XR protests. “Despite these hyperbolic claims — and the optics of a foreign citizen supporting a group calling for an insurrection against the U.S. government — Hohn gave XR at least $65,000 from his personal fortune, and another, separate contribution via CIFF, totaling nearly $200,000.” . .

Bad Night for Antifa in Portland As Feds Move In

Sister Toldjah


"As RedState reported, President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning that he had authorized sending troops to Portland, Oregon, in response to ongoing anti-ICE violence in the notoriously far-left, poorly-led blue city, some of which is being orchestrated by the leftist Antifa rioters that Democrats keep claiming don't exist.

" 'I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump said on Truth Social, noting he was authorizing them to use "full force" if necessary.

"In response, Antifa has reportedly planned a "direct action" event at the Portland ICE facility, set to take place sometime Sunday afternoon." . . .

Portland, Oregon, is affirming its sanctuary city identity as Trump pledges to send in troops | CNN  . . . " In response, Louisville, Kentucky, dropped its policy refusing to hold immigration suspects in its local jail for ICE, with the mayor acknowledging that “millions of dollars in federal grants were at stake.”
"From Portland, the message has been much different.
"As a proud sanctuary city in a sanctuary state,” Mayor Wilson said, “we are committed to protecting the rights and dignity of all who live here, working together to strengthen our community.”
"Portland first called itself a sanctuary city nearly a decade ago with a 
nonbinding resolution saying the Portland Police Bureau “shall not cooperate with
ICE except as expressly required by Federal Law.” This week, the city council discussed taking things further by making its sanctuary status permanent." . . .
Destructive protests of 5 years ago still on leaders’ minds  
"While city leaders have been largely supportive of the right to protest outside the ICE facility, they have also made it clear they do not want a repeat of the city’s most notorious demonstrations in 2020." . . .

 Can This Nation Be Saved? 
  . . . "It is no surprise that these commissions generally reflect the worldviews of the prevailing government that forms them.  Communist governments are quick to label past “right-wing” officials as “murderers” while memorializing their own murderers as “patriots,” “civil rights heroes,” or “noble revolutionaries.”  Politically correct governments in the West today often describe their countries’ founders and explorers as “racists,” “white supremacists,” “imperialists,” and perpetrators of “genocide.”  No doubt the people alive during these consequential periods of history would take exception to the way they are remembered, but descendants — particularly descendants in possession of political power — maintain at least a temporary monopoly over the historical record." . . .

Left-Wing Terrorism Has Been Unleashed

  Issues & Insights


"For years, we were told by government officials and outside “experts” that the terrorists in our midst were mostly right-wing fanatics – a list that under the Biden administration came to include parents who spoke up at local school board meetings and Catholics who like the Latin mass.

"But even the left is now admitting what everyone else already knows.

Namely, that despite their constant bleating about tolerance and peace, it’s leftists who pose the greatest threat to Americans.

""This week, the Trump-hating Atlantic magazine published an article titled “Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise,” written by scholars at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

“We found that left-wing terrorism has increased since President Donald Trump’s rise to political prominence in 2016. Indeed, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right.”

"By early July, “far-left extremists had already been responsible for five terrorist attacks and plots, putting 2025 on pace to be the left’s most violent year in more than three decades.”

"And their list doesn’t include the killer who slaughtered two children in a Minneapolis church, the gunman who shot up ABC10 in Sacramento, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the killing in a New Hampshire restaurant by a gunman who shouted “free Palestine,” or the attempted assassination of ICE agents in Dallas by a shooter who engraved bullet casings with “Anti-ICE” (but who ended up killing an illegal immigrant). All of these political attacks were committed by leftists — in just the past month.

"It’s likely even worse and much more lopsided than that.

"We don’t know what the CSIS authors are counting as “left wing” or “right wing” terrorist attacks, but our guess is that – based on other such assessments – they have downplayed the former and exaggerated the latter. Does CSIS include the 2020 BLM riots or the pro-Hamas campus sieges or the multitude of Antifa attacks as left-wing terrorism?

"A widely cited report from the Anti-Defamation League claimed that three-quarters of “extremist” killings from 2015 to 2024 were carried out by right-wingers. But a closer look found that the ADL stretched the meaning of “right wing” to the point of absurdity to increase those numbers, while ignoring some even obvious left-wing killings – such as the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO by an overtly leftist (alleged) attacker.

"A recent paper published by the libertarian Cato Institute made the same mistake. For example, the Cato paper counts Peyton Gendron, who murdered 10 people in a Buffalo supermarket and whose manifesto described himself as an “eco-fascist national socialist,” as “right-wing.”  . . .

The Left’s Hatred Runs Deep, Even in Congress  

"I have a final question, for all of us. Does this hatred that manifests itself among the Left, is it top-down? Does it trickle down from Gavin Newsom? Does it trickle down from Jasmine Crockett? And it goes all the way down and then we see people like Tyler Robinson absorb it? Or Luigi Mangione absorb it? Or Antifa absorb it? Is that what’s happening? Or is it bottom-up?"

For Too Many in Education, Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Is Exactly the Type of Person They Are Trying to Create

 The American Spectator   Some serious self-reflection is due from those in charge of teaching our kids.

We send our kids to schools for six-plus hours a day. They’re being taught something. If it’s not reading, writing, math, and science, then what is it? 


"Recently, the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) released its 2025 report, assessing that there was no educational progress. Called the Nation’s Report Card, NAEP measures math, reading, and science performance in fourth, eighth, and 12th grades. Scores on all three tests administered in 2024 were down from 2019 results.
"“Students from the class of 2024 had historically low scores on a major national test administered just months before they graduated,” as one media report described the results. Education Secretary Linda McMahon lamented that the “NAEP results confirm a devastating trend: American students are testing at historic lows across all of K-12.”
"The hundreds of billions of dollars showered on schools (and teachers’ unions) have been unable to reverse the losses from COVID closures.
"We send our kids to schools for six-plus hours a day. They’re being taught something. If it’s not reading, writing, math, and science, then what is it?
"The day after receiving NAEP’s bad news, we found out what at least some of them are learning.
"In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, the nation discovered that his killer is exactly the type of person many of those in charge of educating our kids are trying to create.
"A significant portion of those exposed for celebrating Mr. Kirk’s cold-blooded murder are teachers, professors, school officials, and school board members. This phenomenon even captured the attention of the legacy media, though they predictably portrayed the offenders as most sympathetically
"To anyone paying attention, this is no surprise. Social media accounts have garnered massive followings mainly by highlighting outlandish pronouncements by teachers and other school officials publicly posted on the internet.
"This is a time for those working in and around education to commit to some self-reflection.
Education or Indoctrination? 
"The campus protests of the last two years, infected by antisemitism and support for Hamas terrorists, are often led by or featuring faculty. With few exceptions, higher education institutions hardly covered themselves in glory while dealing with these “protests.” The more elite the schools, the worse they handled them.. . .  More...

Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre; Tell me again, who are the "Nazis" in this account?

YouTube Movies & TV 52 minutes.  
"Although the Assyrian Empire was powerful, it fell rapidly with the fall of Assur (614 BC), Nineveh (612 BC), and Harran (609 BC). Assyria fell to an alliance between nations like the Babylonians and the Medes".   
"As with the Assyrians and many other nations that brought destruction to Israel; they are gone and still Israel continues. TD
"This documentary offers a harrowing account of the October 7th, 2023 Hamas massacre at the Nova Music Festival near Gaza. Through real-time footage and raw survivor testimonies, it delivers an unflinching portrayal of events that ignited the region.


A Few Comments: "This breaks my heart. I have a personal story to tell as I’ve been to Israel in American uniform. 8 of us were in the alleys of Haifa after dark and started noticing scooters running parallel and behind us. Soon it was a lot of them. An old Israeli man came to us and demanded we come into his home right that second. He told us we were being funneled into a kill spot and we needed to stay with him till morning. We already knew what the deal was so we of course stayed. He introduced us to his quite large family, fed us, entertained us, and sheltered us all night. We were saved by this one man. I pray his family is well and prosperous. This was 30 years ago but I’ll never forget that night."

"Anyone defending Hamas' actions on October 7th seriously needs their head checked. U.S music festival goer here, we create these spaces so we can all be together and spread love and joy. I couldn't imagine within 24 hours, losing my friends at the one place that is supposed to be our safe haven. My heart genuinely hurts for the victims. The oppressors of the Palestinian people are not an innocent group of people just gathering together and dancing, and certainly not innocent civilians."

"The cruelty, horror, barbarism, and heartlessness of Hamas… Lord, help our Israeli brothers and sisters to heal from the trauma that Hamas brought upon them! Free the hostages who are still in captivity, dear Lord. May such a massacre never again happen, I pray! O God, have mercy, and bring hope to every heart that was emotionally traumatized that horrible day, and the days since."

"It pisses me off and makes me sick and sad that there are fellow American citizens of mine that don’t condemn what happened that day and they go around the USA protesting for terrorists who massacred so many innocent people…and all of these brainwashed idiots are chanting slogans that call for the genocide of all Jewish people in Israel and most of them don’t even realize or understand what it is they are chanting about, they heard other people doing it and they thought it sounded catchy and cool so now they blindly follow in total and complete ignorance. I don’t even acknowledge those people as fellow American citizens when I really think about, they hate our country and anyone who is our allies and they just carry nothing but hate and evil in their hearts and one day they will have to be judged for it all when it’s their time in front of God. They need to find Jesus and let their hatred to be gone from them…even though I don’t think that day will ever come."

Trump’s Reckoning Begins: Comey Indicted as the First Deep State Domino Falls, With Brennan, Clinton, Obama on Deck

"Past investigations have already left his prior claims almost comically contradicted, including that “Ethical leaders lead by seeing above the short term, above the urgent or the partisan, and with a higher loyalty to lasting values, most importantly the truth.”  Jonathan Turley


Trump’s Reckoning Begins: Comey Indicted as the First Deep State Domino Falls, With Brennan, Clinton, Obama on Deck   

"The case, assigned to Biden appointee Judge Claude Hilton, has sparked fierce reactions, with conservatives decrying potential bias but celebrating the move as Trump’s DOJ finally delivering. Trump’s post isn’t just rhetoric—it’s a manifesto for justice. He accuses Comey of being a “destroyer of lives,” knowingly peddling lies that fueled years of baseless investigations into his campaign."

Comey Associate and Columbia Professor Daniel Richman Subpoenaed

Donkey Hotey
"In the midst of the flurry of activity on Capitol Hill and in the courts, a single subpoena from federal prosecutors last week went largely unnoticed by many in Washington. However, it could represent a significant development in the long-standing and unresolved questions surrounding the exit of James Comey as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The subpoena was served on Columbia law professor Daniel Richman, a close friend of Comey’s who has been accused of serving as his conduit for leaks to the media.

"James Comey has long been one of the most carefully self-constructed images in Washington. Comey’s tenure often seemed more performative than professional, as with his controversial press conference in which he declared that Hillary Clinton had violated federal criminal law with her emails but declined to charge her.

"Comey had long been a political operator who portrayed himself as an apolitical public servant, immune to the temptations or trappings of the political class. Investigations have produced a contrary image." . . .
