Is the only country in the world you think does not have the right to exist the only Jewish state?

 Dennis Prager says:   "When I was in college, which was not recently, I was taught that a black cannot be a racist. And I remember thinking that's impossible. I mean, it's simply impossible. I couldn't believe I heard that, but every professor who addressed the issue said that.

I love Palestine!

"The world of the left is a make-believe world. There is one point that I would like to make that is extremely instructive and has not been noted. And that is these attacks are on Jews and they are coming from various Muslim extremists in the United States, obviously not from all Muslims, I'm not implying that, but people need to understand something they don't understand.

"The Middle East dispute is not over land. Israel is the size of New Jersey. It is smaller than El Salvador. There are 22 Arab states. There is a state with a majority of Palestinians called Jordan. The issue is not land. The issue is religion. Again, this is not what the left wants you to believe. They want you to believe it's over land. No, it's not. There is a big chunk of the Muslim world that would like to exterminate the Jewish state beginning with, of course, Iran. That is why if you look at the rhetoric, it's always "F the Jews," "F the Jews" in all of these attacks. It's never "F the Israelis." It's always "F the Jews."

"If the only country in the world you think does not have the right to exist is the only Jewish country in the world, then one has the right to infer that you have something against a Jewish state but not any other state.

"Imagine somebody saying, you know, I love Italians, I'm not anti-Italian, but I don't think Italy has the right to exist. You would say, sir, I'm not an idiot, you hate Italy and you hate Italians. That's the way it works. If the only state that can't exist on earth is a Jewish state, you have something against the Jews."

So those Arabs who did the act below loved Jews, but felt Israel had no right to exist. TD

"72% of Palestinians said they supported the Oct 7th attack."

"Joe Biden Shows He's a Disgusting, Dishonest Ghoul With Statement on Abundant Life Shooting "

 Mia Cathell  

. . ."Rupnow was a big fan of the KMFDM rock band, which was also referenced by one of the Columbine shooters. (She often ore the shirt of the band.)" @AndyNgo

. . ."According to investigative journalist Andy Ngo, she posted a purported "sneak peek" of the manifesto to her Discord account, "@brainedout." In the earlier version, Rupnow allegedly discussed a desire to "exterminate" all males, including infants and the elderly, in a rant apparently inspired by extremist culture among fringe social media circles.

" '[W]omen are the only hope for this wretched world," the declaration read, saying some women have also been "brainwashed" to "worship these f**king parasites." The writing further lamented these women who have "internalized the patriarchy" and are "always begging for male approval and validation."

" 'Its disgusting," the preview continued. "I realize the truth men are irredeemable [...] They cant be reformed or redeemed. Theyre a f**king scourge upon the earth. The only solution is to total exterminate them [...] Every single male must be wiped out, from babies to the elderly. Only then can women be free to create a new world."

" 'ill be a pioneer," the post's author declared. "ill be the first to take the first step. i dont care if theyr fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, teachers, police, and especially n—ers or politicians. ive been craving to kill them all.' " . . .  Much more...

If things had turned out differently, maybe Joe Biden would have pardoned her. TD

Joe Biden Shows He's a Disgusting, Dishonest Ghoul With Statement on Abundant Life Shooting 

. . ."Notice the mention of needing a ban on "assault weapons and high-capacity magazines." The problem? The shooter in this case used neither. Rather, she used a pistol, which is the one type of firearm Democrats constantly claim they don't want to ban. So why mention "assault weapons?" Because Biden is willing to stand on the bodies of dead children to promote policies that would have had no impact on this shooting. It's disgusting." 

Joy Reid Guest Proves Democrat Strategists Have Clearly Learned Nothing About Racial Politics

 RedState

 . . ." DEI has run its course and found to be more damaging than helpful in pretty much every regard. It's this attitude that got the Democrat Party in trouble in the first place, as it forced the selection of leaders and advisors alike that are wholly disconnected from the people."

"Normally, when you touch a hot pan, you know from the searing pain in your hand that you shouldn't try touching it again. Democrat strategists touch the pan, feel the pain, and think the reason they feel pain is that they didn't touch the pan enough. 

"Or so it seems, based on one former Harris consultant's words on MSNBC's "The Reid Out" with Joy Reid. 

"Former Kamala Harris strategist Alencia Johnson joined Reid to discuss how the DNC's leadership needs a real change up. The solution? Get rid of the old white men running the party and replace them with "young women of color." 

Johnson made it a point to effectively say members of the squad are solid communicators, indicating that AOC had won over Trump voters in the past. 

According to Reid, the "gerontocracy" needs to retire, and recalled a time when Barrack Obama pushed the DNC aside and created his own organization within the party. She notes that the party is run by donors and consultants who don't want to embrace the new world media, and held up a solid example of AOC being able to reach people in that regard." . . . 

. . ."Still, I think it's odd that there's still an obsession with race and identity, despite the fact that there was a flat-out rejection of that focus in this last election. The left has a long history of seeing something not work and conclude that it didn't work because they didn't take it far enough. This is why you have outright racists in the party saying and doing blatantly racist things, and many leftists nodding along as if there's not a thing in the world wrong with this. 

"But this is also why you had many Democrats walking away from the party over the last few years."

Afghanistan Gets $122.5 Mil to Combat Gender-Based Violence under Taliban with no Follow Up

Judicial Watch

There is no telling where the hundreds of millions of dollars for gender-based violence have gone, and the feds do not seem terribly concerned about it." . . . 

 "In the latest scandal to rock the Biden administration’s massive Afghanistan aid boondoggle, the U.S. government has been derelict in its duty to measure the effectiveness of a $122.5 million investment to combat gender-based violence (GBV) in the Islamic nation after the Taliban took over, according to a federal audit. The investigation, conducted by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), also reveals that the administration failed in this case to follow government practices for monitoring implementation of its foreign assistance award. That includes collecting required progress reports, validating the data in those reports through site visits and other verification means and assessing the periodic performance reports of groups receiving taxpayer dollars to implement programs. Additionally, the State Department, the agency disbursing the cash, did not even “include any goals for preventing and responding to GBV in Afghanistan,” investigators found.

"Since the abrupt 2021 U.S. military withdraw, nearly $3 billion in humanitarian aid has flowed to Afghanistan and a chunk of it has gone to the Taliban, the terrorist group that currently runs the country. Judicial Watch has reported on this extensively, documenting hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid going to the Taliban this year alone. This occurs because the State Department fails to properly vet award recipients to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan and the money has gone to dozens of local entities with potential terrorist ties. The agency has a system to identify whether prospective awardees have a record of ethical business practices and is supposed to conduct a risk assessment to determine if programming funds may benefit terrorists or terrorist-affiliates before distributing American taxpayer dollars. But the State Department does not bother and fails to keep proper records." . . .

While the ICC issues arrest warrants for Israel's Netanyahu, a new film Indicts the Taliban's Murderous Treatment of Women.   Phyllis Chesler

[ICC has] issued warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu, but not for … the Taliban. Something is wrong with this picture.

"I’ve just watched the film Bread and Roses, co-produced by actress Jennifer Lawrence and Nobel Laureate Malala Yousefzai, and directed by Sahra Mani.

"If only American women were half as brave as the on-camera real-life women activists in Kabul! We see them willing to risk being beaten, arrested, tortured, and even murdered by the Taliban because they’ve  dared to demonstrate for “Work, Bread, and Education.”

"Wearing hijab, but naked-faced, identifiable, these heroes march, chant, hold placards aloft, scrawl their demands on walls and even on the snow, meet secretly — and continue to do so even as the Taliban death-threatens, beats, and arrests activist after activist, even after they murder many. The women demand the return of their arrested sisters — and in one instance, they actually prevail.

Strong Women Against the Taliban

"Bread and Roses

 depicts Afghan women who tried to get to the airport on the days before the Taliban stormed into Kabul; they found that all the airport “gates” were closed to them. Thereafter, the women left behind were, essentially, placed under house arrest, forbidden to work, (even if they were doctors and dentists), forbidden to attend school, go out without a male escort and without wearing the Afghan burqa, the garment I view as a sensory deprivation isolation chamber.

"Both schools and beauty shops were shuttered. Music was forbidden. Impoverished families began selling their very young daughters to much older, already married men.  Women were forbidden to take taxis alone.

"Courtesy of body camcorders and hidden cameras, we see these women activists being beaten by the Taliban with whips and sticks." . . .

Biden's full list of clemency and commutation recipients revealed

"How many professionals were fired from their careers and expert livelihoods because they refused to inject an untested experimental vaccine into their bodies? What sort of clemency and pardon can he bestow on those non-criminals who were unjustly persecuted by the Biden government?" From the comments to the following post.

The White House released a list of names of the 39 people whom President Biden pardoned, as well as a list of the nearly 1,500 whose sentences he commuted, on Thursday.   

. . ."The move from Biden set a new, single-day record for clemency under any president, and it comes after he pardoned his son, Hunter, earlier this month. The controversial pardon of his son put pressure on Biden from others in the Democratic Party to issue additional pardons. 

"Biden said Thursday that he plans to take more steps during the next few weeks before he exits the Oval Office.

" 'My Administration will continue reviewing clemency petitions to advance equal justice under the law, promote public safety, support rehabilitation and reentry, and provide meaningful second chances," Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

"A list provided to Fox News Digital by the White House indicated that all 39 pardons had been given to only non-violent offenders, many of whom had been convicted of drug crimes. Drug offenders were labeled as much on the list, but no other details were given about the non-drug-related, non-violent offenses committed by the list of 39 pardons.

"The list did go into extensive detail as to why each of the 39 pardons was deserved, citing examples of community engagement, professional and academic accomplishments." . . .

It looks as if Justin Trudeau’s reign of terror and error in Canada may be ending

Andrea Widburg  

"With his minions fleeing, Trudeau is seriously contemplating resigning, as well he should. In a parliamentary system, when the premier’s party has lost confidence in him, he’s got nothing:" . . .

Technically speaking, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s third term of office is supposed to last until October 2025. In fact, Trudeau, who has turned Canada into a totalitarian nuthouse, is watching his government collapse around him and may soon resign. (Indeed, he may be gone by the time you read this.) With luck, his place will be taken by Pierre Poilievre, a smart, witty conservative who may yet save that country.

Trudeau comes by his loopy leftism, honestly, because his father was Canada’s leftist prime minister when Trudeau was born in 1971. More than that, his mother was Margaret Trudeau, who worshipped Fidel Castro. (Indeed, many suspect that Justin’s DNA daddy wasn’t Pierre but was Fidel.)

Trudeau started his working life as a teacher. During that time, he wore blackface and groped women. You know...typical leftist stuff." . . .

Obama Floats Pardon “Trial Balloon” Amid Deep State Frenzy to Get on the List; UPDATE from Andy NGO

 Jerome R. Corsi

"What Obama fears is that Biden might be persuaded to issue a sweeping set of Deep State pardons to a list that would include various top-level Obama administration officials like former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Attorney General James Comey who potentially could be forced to provide damaging criminal testimony against him."

"When does Barack Obama ask Susan Rice to petition Joe Biden for a presidential pardon for himself? With the pardon frenzy buzzing around the Biden camp, a trial balloon for an Obama pardon has already begun drifting toward the Oval Office.

"Biden will be well advised to limit his pardons to members of his own family. In his NBC News Meet the Press interview on Sunday, December 8, Trump explained that he had no intention of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden, despite Biden’s enthusiasm to raid Mar-a-Lago under the authority of Jack Smith, the special prosecutor the Biden administration appointed in an attempt to convict and incarcerate Trump in federal criminal prison.

"Nevertheless, given the resistance coup d’état that the Deep State has waged against Donald J. Trump since before the first inauguration on January 20, 2017, the fear and loathing among Biden administration top-level operatives to beg for pardons attests to their awareness that the second Trump administration will witness justice administered by a righteous Trump Vindictus [i.e., translated from Latin: Trump’s Revenge]. Those petitioning now for pardons are doing so because they know the crimes they have committed, and they are afraid that with the massive declassification of information that the incoming Trump administration is planning to make public, their guilt will no longer remain hidden." . . .

"All that is left now is for the Antifa/Black Lives Matter chorus to wail in their final song and dance routine to sum up the conclusion of this pathetic treasonous tragedy, stressing for the audience the conclusion that in the end, the brilliance of the sun remains the antidote in a play where lies are disinfected, justice prevails, and God always wins!"

UPDATE: Andy Ngo: Why Antifa Almost Killed Me "Raised in Portland by Vietnamese refugees, Andy Ngo knows the dangers of left-wing radicalism. As a journalist, he was brutally assaulted by Antifa during a protest, leaving him with lasting injuries. Despite relentless threats, Andy continues to defend America and expose the violent agenda of the radical left through fearless journalism."

 

Trump’s Big-Money Triumph Over Fake News ABC Keeps Getting Funnier And Funnier

"ABC realizing that their top anchor will sit for depositions in a defamation case was enough to make them blink and come to terms on an 8-figure settlement with DJT.

"As everyone on the right has been saying since the beginning, the dog-pile of lawfare attacks that waited until the election cycle before they started dragging Trump into court had more to do with making Trump a radioactive candidate than with any actual facts present in law.

"ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is proof enough of that. Bill Clinton’s former White House Comms director, best known in his Clinton years as being the self-described ‘captain of the bimbo eruptions’ in which he played a role in destroying the reputation and credibility of women who dared to make claims of Bill Clinton’s sexual impropriety.

"That’s a long way from ‘believe all women’.

"It’s an even longer way from trying to play on the emotions of Nancy Mace — a sexual assault survivor — and a misreading of a verdict against Donald Trump to drive a wedge between her and the then-candidate she supported for leadership in her party.

"Trump was neither found guilty of, nor liable for, rape. Not even close. But that didn’t stop George S. from using his interview with Nancy Mace as a platform to insist that he HAD, in fact, been found liable for rape, on 10 separate occasions.

"Trump sued for defamation. Falsely accusing someone of a felony is defamation, no matter WHO you are. Trump and George S. were called to sit for depositions. ABC blinked, and came back with a settlement.

"And they were forced to attach a statement of regret to that story."

Who Lost More Weapons—Russia in Syria or America in Afghanistan?

Foreign Policy  After the collapse of their client states, both patrons left behind a trove of military equipment.

  Unlike the Taliban’s M-16s and Ford Ranger trucks, which are hardly conducive to overwhelming a serious adversary, Syria’s arsenal could have supplied some real military capability." . . . "Moscow has taken a substantially more significant blow than Washington with its much-debated equipment losses in Afghanistan."

. . ."U.S. government watchdogs estimated that the Taliban captured more than $7 billion worth of U.S. equipment after the fall of the Western-backed Afghan government three years ago. An August 2022 report from the U.S. Department of Defense found that ground vehicles worth $4.12 billion and military aircraft worth $923.3 million remained in Afghanistan after the U.S. withdrawal. A non-public report to Congress stated that 9,524 air-to-ground munitions, 40,000 vehicles, 300,000 light arms, and 1.5 million rounds of ammunition were left behind.

"The Taliban have their own air force now. A November 2022 report from a U.S. government watchdog found that “approximately 2 weeks prior to the Taliban’s takeover, DOD records indicate that the Afghan Air Force had 162 U.S.-provided aircraft in its inventory, of which 131 were usable.” However, Afghan pilots flew about one-third of these planes and helicopters to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in the final days of the withdrawal. Another 80 at Kabul airport were rendered unusable by U.S. forces. Some of these may have been repaired since the Taliban took power. In the meantime, the Taliban have relied on the remaining Soviet-era aircraft to transport troops, military and humanitarian cargo, and regime officials.

"In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal, Afghanistan became a giant arms bazaar. U.S. weapons have reportedly been used in Kashmir, Pakistan, and Gaza, and they will inevitably appear on more battlefields in the future. Experts claim it is one of the greatest arms diversions in history.

"But the raw numbers comparing Afghanistan and Syria mask a major difference between the two lost arsenals. The Russians could really use those weapons today, whereas the United States left little of its best equipment in Afghanistan. The Afghan National Army and police forces were designed for internal security and largely equipped with second- and third-tier American gear that was supposedly sufficient to handle a lightly armed insurgency. Much of the U.S. weaponry in Afghanistan was simultaneously too costly to fly home and lacked sufficient military value to make the effort worthwhile. It was cheaper to cut many U.S. vehicles into scrap or leave them for the Afghan security forces." . . .

Russia, on the other hand, has been losing thousands of combat vehicles, planes, and even warships since invading Ukraine in February 2022. Since the start of the war, Russia has reportedly lost about 8,800 armored fighting vehicles, over 3,000 tanks, and close to 250 fighter aircraft and helicopters. Russia lost around 300 tanks in the five-month battle for the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka alone." . . .

Three Russia Hoax Bombshells Hidden In IG Report On DOJ Surveillance Of Congress

What hath California wrought?  "It’s extremely disturbing that a man as corrupt and dishonest as Adam Schiff is Senator of a state like California. He should be in jail not in a position of enormous power." AuditTheMachines

 Mollie Hemingway; The Federalist 

"Both Schiff and Swalwell were notorious for going on left-wing media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC to push the Russia conspiracy theory. Schiff, now California’s junior senator, lied publicly for years about the matter, falsely claiming to have secret evidence substantiating the hoax." . . . 

"Last week the Department of Justice’s inspector general released a report on some of the DOJ’s tracking of communications from media and congressional figures as part of its purported investigation into who was leaking classified information against President Donald Trump in 2017. Three significant bombshells about the Russia collusion hoax were hidden inside the dense and dry 100-page report.

"For context, when Trump won the 2016 presidential election, anonymous Democrat operatives in the federal government and Congress began leaking like sieves as part of a coordinated effort to paint Trump as a mastermind spy who had worked with Russian President Vladimir Putin for decades in order to steal the election.

"Two Washington Post stories, a New York Times story, and a CNN story were all found to have included classified information. None of the four stories are specified in the report, but they all appeared in the first half of President Trump’s first year in office.

"The first Washington Post story is likely the April 2017 story by Ellen Nakashima, Devlin Barrett, and Adam Entous revealing that DOJ had gotten a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Carter Page, a Trump affiliate. The true story of that warrant would end up revealing the corruption of the DOJ, including how it falsified evidence in its application and relied on the laughable Steele dossier as the basis. But at the time of its publication, the FISA story suggested that an honorable DOJ had serious reason to suspect the Trump campaign of colluding with Russia to steal the election.

"As outlandish and unhinged as the conspiracy theory was, it was fueled with daily drops of classified and deceptively packaged information designed to make it appear legitimate. The corporate media dutifully regurgitated, published, and aired the leaks as part of their campaign against the Republican president." . . .

"The leakers have never been brought to justice.". . .

Joe Biden Shows He's a Disgusting, Dishonest Ghoul With Statement on Abundant Life Shooting

RedState; Bonchie   "Joe Biden has released a statement on the tragic shooting that occurred at Abundant Life Christian School on Monday, and it's rightfully sparking controversy. As RedState reported, 15-year-old Natalie Lynn Rupnow opened fire, leaving two people dead. It appears she then committed suicide, as it has been confirmed no law enforcement officer discharged their weapon on the scene." . . . 

Says the man who pardoned his son of a gun crime.

. . ."What's so gross about this is that it expects the reader to make several false assumptions that push the narrative Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party prefer. Notice the mention of needing a ban on "assault weapons and high-capacity magazines." The problem? The shooter in this case used neither. Rather, she used a pistol, which is the one type of firearm Democrats constantly claim they don't want to ban. So why mention "assault weapons?" Because Biden is willing to stand on the bodies of dead children to promote policies that would have had no impact on this shooting. It's disgusting. 

"Then there's the claim that we need "a national red flag law" and "universal background checks." For one, the former is likely unconstitutional at the federal level. Regardless, how would either of those things have stopped Rupnow from committing this attack? She was not in legal possession of the gun she used. Thus, no court using red flag laws would have been able to take it away from her, and since she didn't purchase the weapon, background checks would likewise be irrelevant. 
"Don't kid yourself. The White House knows all of that. Yet, they chose to put out that statement anyway hoping that people would simply assume this was a school shooting in which a legally purchased semi-automatic rifle was used with a "high-capacity" magazine. In fact, the shooter was barred by state law from possessing the gun she used had already  broken multiple laws before she even pulled the trigger. 

"Self-serving politicians aren't going to legislate themselves out of the depravity that has infected so many children. This is a cultural problem, but Democrats will never admit that because it would mean admitting their listless, hedonistic worldview of morality and family is harmful, and they can't have that."

UPDATE:  Madison School Shooting: What We Know, And Biden’s Tone-Deaf Response  Andy Ngo posted the following:  . . .There is a photo taken in a washroom, posted just moments before the shooting. The photo shows her feet on the tile floor, with an ‘OK’ sign being flashed by her hand. "(More on that photo, later.)

"Shooter was 15yo girl (other reports had indicated 17) named Natalie Lynn Rupnow. She had transferred to the school last year. The shooting targeted the school library. The adult killed was a substitute teacher. One of the victims in critical condition has been shot in the throat.

"There is disagreement over whether she identified as ‘trans’. Andy’s own reporting does not indicate she does. Others have said there is an indication of ‘they/them’ in the social media bio.

"She posted about getting a pistol for her birthday. (If only Congress would pass laws making it illegal for a fifteen-year-old to have a pistol. Oh, wait.)

"If the correct alternate social media accounts were found, she also has a fixation on school shooters, going back to Columbine, and posted something which is alleged to be a ‘manifesto’. It’s 2 pages of bitter, angry ranting denouncing categories of people she disagrees with as ‘scum’, taking brief detour to rail against an ethnic group or two. The over-riding theme is the meaninglessness of others and hate, a word she must have used a good two dozen times. As you might expect of the psychopathic fantasies of a young teen, it was rambling and incoherent." . . .
