Kamala is Anti-Israel. Her Husband’s Law Firm Repped the PLO

Daniel Greenfield  "The PLO’s money arm was the largest foreign principal for his law firm.

"Freedom Center Investigates had previously reported on the intersection between Emhoff’s previous law firm and its Cuban business, and Kamala’s opposition to the embargo on the Communist dictatorship. Similar questions might be asked about the intersection of Kamala’s hostility to Israel and the problematic and even terrorist clients of her husband’s law firm."

“ 'Will Doug Emhoff’s Legal Career Be an Issue for the Biden-Harris Ticket?” the New York Times asked four years ago.

"The newspaper noted that Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, was a partner at DLA Piper whose “lobbying clients” had included the governments of Afghanistan and Bahrain, as well as the Qatari government-funded Al Jazeera Network and the Palestine Monetary Authority.

"DLA Piper was good to the Emhoff-Harris family with the family taking home $2.7 million in 2019 and $1.2 million in 2020. “To aspire to create wealth is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. If that is what one chooses. I, on the other hand, have chosen to live a life of public service,’ Kamala had claimed. But the “life of public service” led to her husband’s role at DLA Piper.

"And two DLA Piper clients are connected to a flashpoint in Kamala’s foreign policy.

"As vice president, Kamala pursued a harsher line against Israel than Biden, virulently denouncing the Jewish state over its military campaign against Hamas terrorists after Oct 7." . . .

Mark Levin: Kamala Harris ‘Worst Israel-Hater, Islamist Propagandist’ to Seek Dem Presidential Nomination   

. . ."Her associations with Hamas front group CAIR, among others, her blood libels against Israel when it is surrounded by terrorists threatening to destroy it, her virtual silence in the face of the most horrendous antisemitism we have ever seen in our country (even praising the so-called Iran-Hamas-Qatar funded “protestors”), her boycott of the Israeli prime minister during his joint congressional speech, her failure to make a personal statement condemning Hezbollah’s slaughter of the Israelis children playing soccer, her repeated use of Hamas casualty propaganda, her support for funding Iran directly and indirectly, her support for withholding critical military equipment and ammunition from Israel, and on and on.

"Deeming her a “grave threat to the survival of Israel” — especially given Israel’s current need for support, Levin asserted that no wavering or Jewish ties can mask her true beliefs and condemning record.

“ 'No amount of flip-flopping, association with certain Jewish groups, or other diversions can change who she is, what she has said, and what she believes,” the conservative host wrote, capitalizing for emphasis, while adding that her own record “condemns her.”

"In response, conservative Middle East analyst and commentator Caroline Glick suggested to “Watch what people do. It’s more important [than] what they say.' ” . . .

Imane Khelif Wins First-Ever Gold Medal In Freestyle Domestic Violence   "Algerian boxer Imane Khelif made history this week by becoming the first-ever Olympian to win the gold medal in the new Freestyle Domestic Violence event.

" 'This is for all of us," an emotional Khelif said, raising his bloody fist triumphantly as the broken body of his small female opponent lay before him. "I'm proud that my superior man-shoulders and bone structure gave me the ability to beat up this small woman. This is what the sport of freestyle domestic violence is all about."

"According to doctors, the genetically male Khelif has higher testosterone and XY chromosomes that make him a killing machine. He has dominated the amateur Domestic Violence circuit, but this is the first time a similar event has made its way to the Olympics." . . .

Woman Who Lost To Male Boxer Says Everything's Fine, She Just Fell Down Some Stairs  "Italian woman Angela Carini tearfully assured reporters yesterday that "everything is fine, except that I fell down some stairs" while responding to questions on her recent loss to male boxer Imane Khelif in the Olympics.

"Carini went out of her way to assure reporters that absolutely everything was fine and dandy as cameras snapped photos of her bruised face, which was still bleeding from Khelif's crushing male blows.

" 'I would like to assure the world that I am 100% okay and doing perfectly fine," Carini sniffled, carefully blowing her broken, disfigured nose. "The only thing was that I randomly fell down a flight of stairs. Everything is fine. It was just a flight of stairs. Nobody hurt me. It was just an accident."

"When asked about her round bruises which looked oddly like they had been administered by a man's hand, Carini ventured to note that she had also banged her head onto a doorknob at the bottom of the stairs.

"Khelif was unavailable for comment, as he was busy having a testicular hernia seen to before his next session of abusing women in front of a cheering crowd.

"At publishing time, Khelif's next opponent was telling reporters that her new bruises had happened when she accidentally walked into a cabinet and a wall."

'F--- white women!' Harris ally told Zoom meeting full of leftists --report

 Monica Showalter  "Kamala Harris has always had trouble keeping staff based on her nasty, bullying, personality, but she sure does well with people who talk like this in her tree.

"According to Fox News:

Cora Masters Barry, an appointee of Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and longtime civil rights activist, and Melanie Campbell, who leads the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, have visited the White House more than 50 times combined during the Biden administration, including nearly a dozen visits with Harris or her staff, a Fox News Digital review found.

Weeks before President Biden and Harris were sworn into office in 2021, Barry and Campbell participated in a public Zoom call in which they made controversial statements about Trump supporters and used an expletive against White voters, specifically White women, which could cause some internal clashes as different   coalitions mobilize to try to get Harris into the White House.

"... and ...  “We have to change our strategy. We got to get our people. We have to get our – they got their people. They got all the trailer parks all covered,” Barry said during the Zoom. “All them people up in West Virginia and the hills, they’re covered. They got them all the way there to Wall Street.”

“[Trump] did that, and we’re sitting here talking about the White women. F–k the white women– excuse me – forget the White women. They’re going to do what the White men tell them to do,” Barry continued, eliciting laughter and clapping from Campbell." . . .More

Even so:...“White Women for Harris” Shows How Democrats Have Fully Embraced Campus Lunacy  

 "The ‘White Women for Kamala Harris’ call that took place this week was full of cringe, just like the ‘White Dudes for Harris’ call.

"Terms like privilege and all of the progressive concepts that come with it are straight off liberal college campuses and the fact that they’re being used in this context shows that Democrats have fully embraced this political culture." . . .

 . . ."Do you want to live in a country of safe spaces, trigger warnings, and speech codes? This is how you get there."

‘Race-faking’ is now okay?   "So Kamala Harris has shared heritage from India and Jamaica, but identifies as black? I thought being black was the provenance of African heritage, and why is it so sensitive of a question to raise? Is it not a legitimate inquiry? Usually when a question provokes such a disproportionate and angry backlash, it indicates that the inquiry is hitting a nerve because those being questioned have no good response. Are blacks descended from Africa not offended when non-Africans appropriate their culture, history, and heritage for political purposes?

"It’s funny, when Jessica Krug and Rachel Dolezal masqueraded as black women while being white, they were taken to the woodshed for their temerity to culturally appropriate another race.

"If you don’t remember these two, Krug was a college professor of African Studies at  George Washington University before she outed herself in an on-line magazine article after a “marathon of deceit.” Here’s what Krug wrote:" . . .

France Shows the World How to Ruin the Olympics

The Spectator  

Macron’s France is an aberration and an embarrassment to the West, but, above all, like any woke beacon, it is an immense imposture. 

"There aren’t many prestigious and popular institutions left capable of uniting the whole world regardless of ideologies, race, nation, or religion. Until Paris 2024, the Olympic Games used to be one of them. Not anymore.

"Let me give you two images. One is the blasphemous inauguration with transvestites mocking the Last Supper. Another is the Italian boxer Angela Carini crying after receiving a brutal beating in 46 seconds at the hands of a boxer recognized as “intersex,” that is, she was born with female genitalia but with XY chromosomes and in tests gave male testosterone levels. She is participating among women in the Olympic Games because, according to the IOC, “she has the right to practice sport without discrimination.” Everything, absolutely everything, is wrong at the Olympic Games in France. (WATCH: The Spectator P.M. Podcast Ep. 63: Don’t Believe Them. The Drag Queens at the Olympics Were Mocking Christianity)

"The blasphemous inauguration was not intended to offend anyone, the organization assures. The truth is that it offended everyone. Christians for the blasphemy, and everyone else, for the sordid and ugly spectacle. As if that were not enough, it included a typically woke vindication of transsexualism, the movement that has put an end to women for once and for all, with enthusiastic support from queer feminists. I’ve written it before: If anyone can be a woman, being a woman means absolutely nothing. That male victory is superior to that of any machismo you can imagine, but since it’s championed by the woke left, criticizing it makes you a target for cancellation.

The IOC Is More Concerned About Inclusivity Than Safety

"The case of the intersex boxer is dramatic and scandalous, not because she is trans, which she is not, but because what’s behind the IOC’s crazy decision is precisely queer feminism and the LGBT movement.

"First, because the IOC considers that leaving her out would be “discriminatory” and that everyone has the right to participate. I would like to know if the IOC would let me participate in the Olympic Games in the women’s boxing event, if instead of ears, due to some genetic quirk, I had developed two bazookas that opened fire randomly. (READ MORE: The Paris Olympics Aren’t Representative of the France I Know)" . . .

Little House on the Prairie Changed My Life; Adults should embrace children’s literature.

 The Spectator

I still appreciate Nietzsche’s writings, including his prophetic foresight that a moral system severed from its theistic roots couldn’t last, but I also appreciate my mother’s sagacity in introducing me to the world of children’s classics, which provided wisdom and a wholesome break from this often bleak world. 

. . ."To my surprise, my mom was perturbed by my most recent intellectual hobby horse. She wasn’t impressed with my assurances that a good Christian could still benefit from Nietzsche’s writings. After all, this was the philosopher who infamously announced, “God is dead and we have killed him.” Although this proclamation was a lament over the West’s departure from its time-honored moral system and not a battle cry, Nietzsche still proposed finding meaning in life without Christ and my dear mother had difficulty getting over that.

"It was at this point that she made up her mind that I needed some intervention. My birthday was only a couple of months after the semester ended and she presented me with the entire box set of The Little House on the Prairie series.

"Knowing full well what she was up to, I smiled, graciously accepted the gift, and went back to reading Crime and Punishment or whatever other dark and depressing literature I was into at the time. I was a scholar. I only read deep, thought-provoking stuff. While I appreciated my mother’s intentions, I only had so much time, and reading Little House books was not on the agenda." . . .

Children’s Literature, Like Little House, Can Be a Welcome Reprieve

"Sometime later, while going through a difficult period in my life, I found the box and cracked open one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House novellas. I was hooked and read every single one. With its gently colored illustrations, simple prose, and wholesome values, I found the series the very nourishment my spirit needed. My mom was right. One cannot subsist on hardcore philosophy alone.

"So many lessons abounded in those books. The beautiful relationship between Ma and Pa Ingalls was a stellar example of sacrifice and mutual appreciation. Ma lived her stoic philosophy in times of hardship with such inspiring wisdom and perseverance, stating, “This earthly life is a battle…If it isn’t one thing to contend with, it’s another. It always has been so, and it always will be. The sooner you make up your mind to that, the better off you are, and more thankful for your pleasures.”

"Similarly, I was deeply moved by the Ingalls family’s abundant gratitude for the simple things in life. Focusing on the hard but simple tasks of planting food, doing chores, and supporting a family is a breath of fresh air in today’s world that makes life so extra, so complicated." . . .

Biden's Ominous Remarks at Return of Americans Reveal How Completely Gone He Is

 RedState

 Biden still hasn't figured out that words like "Don't" and "Stop" aren't very effective when you're viewed as weak. It didn't stop Russia from wrongfully detaining two of the three that they greeted; they were detained under Biden, although he didn't seem to understand that in bizarre comments that he made on Thursday.

"President Joe Biden went to greet Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva when they arrived back at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday night after being released by Russia in a huge prisoner swap. The West released some very bad guys in return for the release of the wrongfully detained Americans. But the bad part of the deal isn't getting as much air. 

"Biden took along Vice President Kamala Harris. But having two weak, impaired people just doubles down on the bad. If they're going to try to put this off as a "shared presidency" now, it's not going to work, in addition to being unconstitutional.  

"As we reported, in an unscripted moment where Harris had to talk without reading out of her notes from a binder, she came out with a word salad mess. 

" 'This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances," she said. Alrighty now. It's important to understand the importance of importance, don't you think that's important?" . . .

Hamas in Its Own Words

 ADL  

"Hamas sees the territory of Israel as exclusive to all the world’s Muslims (not just Palestinians), forbids a Jewish state on “any part” of the land and promotes the idea that it is the “duty for every Muslim” to reverse Israel’s existence: . . ."

 "On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, slaughtering around 1,200 men, women, children, and infants in the largest and most brutal massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas terrorists intentionally recorded their murder, rape, and torture of civilians, including around 200 foreign nationals, and took at least 240 hostages back with them to Gaza. 

The physical attack was followed by a propaganda and disinformation campaign. Knowing that Israel would have no choice but to respond to the October 7 massacre, Hamas retreated into its network of tunnels beneath the homes, schools, and hospitals of Gaza, using Palestinian civilians as human shields in order to weaponize the resulting civilian casualties. 

This left Israel with two options – either do nothing in response to the murder and kidnapping of its citizens by invading Hamas terrorists, thereby inviting more attacks, or act against Hamas as it hid behind and under its own citizens. As Hamas leaders themselves admit, Hamas sees either path as a strategic win for its campaign of terror and incitement against Israel, with the ultimate goal of Israel’s eradication. While there can be legitimate criticism of specific Israeli policies and actions during its war with Hamas, it is paramount to remember this worldview of Hamas. 

Since its founding in the late 1980s, Hamas has been promoting rhetoric and policies aimed at destroying the Jewish state of Israel and killing Jews and Israelis around the world. This is evident in their founding charter, which cites the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion forgery as “proof” of a Zionist plot to control the world. It remains true after Hamas released a new charter in 2017, which essentially simply swapped the word “Jew” out and replaced it with “Zionist” while repeating antisemitic tropes. 

The following are examples of hateful rhetoric by Hamas leaders and officials, as well as language from their charter:  

Hamas Leaders and Officials:  

Statements by Hamas officials make clear the terrorist organization’s commitment to destroying Israel and killing Jews and Israelis around the world. 

• Ismail Haniyeh in 2020: He explained that Hamas rejects ceasefire agreements by which, “Gaza would become Singapore,” preferring to remain at war with Israel until a Palestinian state is established from the River to the Sea: “We cannot, in exchange for money or projects, give up Palestine and our weapons. We will not give up the resistance... We will not recognize Israel, Palestine must stretch from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.” 
• Hamas official, Hamad Al-Regeb in an April 2023 sermon: He prayed for “annihilation” and “paralysis” of the Jews whom he described as filthy animals: “[Allah] transformed them into filthy, ugly animals like apes and pigs because of the injustice and evil they had brought about.” Al-Regeb also prayed for the ability to “get to the necks of the Jews.” 
• Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Saleh Al-Arouri in an August 2023 interview:  He expressed Hamas’ desire for “total war” with Israel: “Therefore, we are convinced that if a total conflict begins, the airspace and seaports of this entity will be shut down, and they will not be able to live without electricity, water, and communications.” . . .  Entire article here.

'Weird' Bonus Cartoon - Counter-Attack Leftists With Facts

 Friday Funnies: RedState

"Remember when “the adults" were "back in charge”? It has been anything but. Joe Biden’s basement campaign was effective inasmuch as it kept the old coot in the cooler, but his promise to return to "normalcy"? Not so much. 

"Instead, he and Kamala Harris brought in “Star Wars bar” characters to populate the administration and executive branch agencies. It wasn’t just cross-dressing luggage thief Sam Brinton and/or fake “Admiral” Rachel Levine or staffers doing a gay porn shoot in a Senate hearing room; it was Biden’s embrace of everything other than normalcy.

A Harris Presidency Would Endanger Us All | Opinion

 John Mac Ghlionn | Opinion (msn.com)   

"In stark contrast, Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, offer the possibility of a very different approach. They advocate for policies focused on reducing U.S. military engagement worldwide and de-escalating ongoing conflicts. Don't let Harris' smile and social media persona fool you." . . .

"Not that long ago, the idea of Kamala Harris becoming the next president of the United States seemed laughable, even delusional. But things have changed. Not only is she competing with and outperforming Donald Trump in some polls, but the vice president also has the backing of the Obamas.

"On Friday, July 26, Barack and Michelle Obama endorsed the vice president. "At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope," they said.

"On the contrary, Harris gives us all reason for concern.

"First, her public image as an advocate for racial equality sharply contrasts with her track record, particularly on criminal justice issues. Her resistance to the early release of non-violent offenders—despite her supposed commitment to reform—reveals a disconnect between her rhetoric and her actions.

"Not only is she disingenuous, Harris doesn't appear to take her role as vice president seriously. In 2020, she was tasked with managing the southern border. Admittedly, this is a challenging and often thankless role, particularly given the scale of what many consider the nation's largest crisis. However, it seems she has shown next to no actual interest in addressing the issue. As Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens recently noted, Harris has not reached out to him since his appointment in July 2023. Think about that for a second. While countless migrants were entering the country illegally, Harris couldn't even be bothered to make a phone call to Owens.

"America First Legal, a nonprofit organization founded by Stephen Miller, who was a senior advisor to Donald Trump during his presidency, is currently conducting seven investigations into her tenure as California attorney general." . . . 

Freed hostages and their families take a back seat to Biden's and Harris's victory lap

 Biden's hatred for Trump is so intense there is no idea what he might have given away to one-up him. TD

Ned Barnett - American Thinker 

"We can thank God that even such an inept man as President Biden can deliver hostages from Russia – as long as he gives in to every one of Putin’s demands.  Compare this to President Trump.  In his first term, he repatriated fifty hostages, without giving up everyone we have locked up, in America or in the jails of one of our allies." 

  . . ."However, just as every soldier quickly learns that in the name Meals, Ready to Eat (MRE), “there are three lies there in one name,” we quickly learned that the word of the president and the vice president were worth exactly what we knew would be the case.  As media whores, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris found it an unnatural act to ignore reporters with cameras and live microphones.  More on this in a moment.

"As an aside, I spent most of my career working with employers or clients … or presidential political candidates – going all the way back to 1976.

"Here’s what I’m sure I could pass a lie detector exam on:

1. The plane with the ex-hostages was forced to circle the federal airfield while the president got his, ahem, “act” together.  At 11:00 p.m. EDT, the press was advised that the plane would land within ten minutes, and the presidential motorcade would arrive in eight minutes. They were also told that this was all about the families.  Like MREs, that was three lies in one statement.  The plane was made to orbit the airbase until the president arrived, about 30 minutes late.  So much for putting the families first – this was to be a media photo op for a retiring president still eager to appear relevant, and a presidential candidate desperate to look presidential.

2. A presidential spokesperson said this was not a political event.  Neither the president nor the veep would make a statement or answer questions.  Remember, this was all about the families. Except that it wasn’t." . . .

Kamala Harris Was a Trainwreck When Greeting Americans Recently Freed From Russia

. . ."Biden then got creepy with reporters, saying, “You’re stuck with me as president for awhile, kid. There’s no way out. You got me for at least 90 days or so.” 

"Can these two not be awkward for one event? Is that even possible? No wonder why this country is rudderless and in a state of chaos—we have two mental invalids at the helm." . . .

Biden Makes Odd Move After Receiving Americans That Leaves Kamala Bemused and Everyone Talking   . . ."Meanwhile, Biden said he would tell Russian leader Vladimir Putin to "Stop." That's really worked well so far. It's similar to his "Don't" to the Iranian-backed militants. That didn't work either. 

“ 'You’re stuck with me as president for a while, kid. There’s no way out. You got me for at least 90 days or so,” Biden then said ominously. In addition to him just being out and out wrong about the alleged time left that he's occupying the office, saying there's "no way out" is pretty scary and sounds like a threat. He can do a lot of damage in the time he has left." . . .  In his Walter Mitty dreams.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Wins in the End

 John Hinderaker | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)

"The Biden administration’s cowardly negotiations with these uber-terrorists and their lawyers–America’s top law firms lined up to represent the captured terrorists–is at best a joke."

NY loves him more than President Trump

"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the principal organizer of the September 11 attacks that killed around 3,000 Americans. He has been held prisoner at Guantanamo Bay for more than two decades. Yesterday the Biden administration announced that it has reached a “plea deal” with KSM and two high-ranking al Qaeda confederates:

“In exchange for removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, these three Accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet,” said a letter signed by Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh, chief prosecutor for the OMC, and sent to victims’ families Wednesday.

"Well, that is big of them. We already knew they were guilty, so the “deal” is our agreement not to execute them, in exchange for nothing. KSM will now live out his days in comfort–much more comfort, I suspect, than he enjoyed in his terrorist days–and as a celebrity. Unlike most of us, KSM achieved the great goal of his life, a triumph which he will now have many more years to savor.

"It is reasonable to blame the weak and borderline anti-American Biden administration for this travesty, and to be sure they deserve opprobrium. But the original fault goes back much further. The idea of treating these terrorists, whom we used military means to capture, as mere criminal defendants entitled to the panoply of criminal procedures available to Americans, including, at the end, plea bargaining, was a farce from the beginning. They should have been interrogated mercilessly and then shot, a long time ago. They deserved nothing more." . . .
