Receipts Get Dropped After JB Pritzker Tells Whopper About His Comparisons of Trump to Hitler (UPDATED)

 Sister Toldjah

Toon added by TD

"Probably more than any other prospective 2028 presidential candidate, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) has repeatedly made comparisons of President Donald Trump to Hitler and Nazi Germany, with Trump's focus on crime crackdowns and immigration enforcement in cities like Chicago seeming to be the primary catalyst for Pritzker's incendiary claims.

"For instance, Pritzker proclaimed in an August interview that "the Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the early 1930s. It doesn't take much. And we're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."

"Left out of Pritzker's rant, however, was his reign of terror during the COVID-19 pandemic, with him enjoying emergency draconian powers for over three years, while holding himself and his family to a (D)ifferent set of standards than he did the people of Illinois.

"Strangely, though Pritzker is keen to invoke the comparisons, when he's asked about them during interviews, he flat out denies it. And, as in the case of a Monday podcast interview he did with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, his interviewers typically join in on the gaslighting:. . . "

'The New York Times' can't shake the cloud over a 90-year-old Pulitzer Prize

 Georgia Public Broadcasting  Previously covered in 2012 in the Tunnel Wall: Walter Duranty Prize for Journalistic Mendacity Be patient with Mr. Corsi's delivery.

"People ate mice, they ate rats, they ate leaves, they ate grass," Applebaum says. "There were even some incidents of cannibalism."

"The New York Times is looking to add to its list of 132 Pulitzer Prizes — by far the most of any news organization — when the 2022 recipients for journalism are announced on Monday.

"Yet the war in Ukraine has renewed questions of whether the Times should return a Pulitzer awarded 90 years ago for work by Walter Duranty, its charismatic chief correspondent in the Soviet Union.

" 'He is the personification of evil in journalism," says Oksana Piaseckyj, a Ukrainian-American activist who came to the U.S. as a child refugee in 1950. She is among the advocates for the return of the award. "We think he was like the originator of fake news."

"A new voice now adds himself to the cause: former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller — himself a Pulitzer Prize winner in 1989 for his own reporting for the Times on the Soviet Union.

"In the 1930s, as now, an autocrat's decrees led to mass deaths of Ukrainian civilians and relied on misinformation to try to cover it up. Reporters, including Duranty, were censored and threatened. (A U.S. diplomat once wrote that Duranty told him his reports had to reflect "the official opinion of the Soviet regime.") Yet in a time before social media and the internet, foreign journalists were among the only ones who could get news out to the rest of the world.

"Duranty was The New York Times' man in Moscow, as the line went, with a cushy apartment in which to entertain expatriates and a reputation as a leading authority on the Soviet Union. Duranty had staked his name on the idea that Josef Stalin was the strong leader the communist country needed. He is often credited with coining the term "Stalinism."

"The major controversy regarding his work remains his reporting on the great famine of 1930–33 that struck certain parts of the USSR after agriculture was forcibly and rapidly "collectivised". He published reports stating "there is no famine or actual starvation nor is there likely to be" and "any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda". In Ukraine, one of the regions most affected, this disaster is today known as the Holodomor." . . .Walter Duranty - Wikipedia

Giving birth to this new award: Walter Duranty Prize for Journalistic Mendacity. (Photo above)

"On May 5, 2014, The New Criterion and PJ Media presented the second Walter Duranty Prize for Journalistic Mendacity. The award is given to highlight egregious examples of dishonest reporting. Also awarded this year was the Rather, a new award for lifetime achievement in mendacious journalism.
The Duranty Prize is named after Walter Duranty, the New York Times Moscow corresponded in the 1920s and 1930s who whitewashed Joseph Stalin’s forced starvation of the Ukrainians (the Holodomor) and many other aspects of Soviet oppression. Duranty was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for his efforts. It has never been revoked."

Their Time Is Up

Formerly a regular listener of PBS, I became bored with daily stories on how bad the people of Gaza had life because of Israel. TD

Phyllis Chesler  

"Psychologically, Muslim Islamists have been mocking Jewish history by mimicking and hijacking it in order to plead their very false case: From their point of view, Gazans have experienced a "holocaust"; Gazan and Arab Muslims have been raped, starved, and beaten; in Israeli jails, Arabs have been "occupied" and have been forced to live under "apartheid.' " . . .

 NEW YORK TIMES ADMITS USING MISLEADING COVER PHOTO OF EMACIATED GAZA CHILD (Below)

 "I've finally done it--cancelled my subscription to the hard-copy version of The New York Times. It will in no way affect their profit margin, but I will no longer have to read it from cover to cover seven days a week in order to be able to comment on the layout or the size of their photos.

"And So Be It.

"I've put in my time; my jail cell is open to anyone who wants to serve a similar sentence of documenting the American version of Al-Jazeera.

"No, it was not any one thing. There was no final straw. It was thousands of them. There were all the magazine covers that focused almost exclusively on the suffering of innocent Gazans, that used doctored Hamas photos and doctored Hamas numbers. And, most recently, they published a Sunday magazine cover story that extolled the virtues of New York City Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, at great length, and they followed that up the very next day with a long article that praised him even further.

"Well, there was this: The other day, a NYT headline about a returned Israeli hostage put the description of the 'horrors' of his captivity in scare quotes, as if the 'horrors' were only his opinion, not necessarily real or true.

"Yesterday, I watched several podcasts in which well-informed, fact-based truth tellers interviewed those who were utterly and completely brainwashed against Jews and against Israel. One such interviewer allowed an Arab hijabed woman to remain off camera. No matter what the interviewer said or showed, she rejected it as "Israeli propaganda," lies. In her view, there were no murdered Israeli babies on 10/7, nor had Hamas committed a massacre or kidnapped anyone. Her focus remained on all the allegedly kidnapped Palestinians being held in Israeli jails merely because they "resisted" the "occupation."

"I have long pondered how such deep and total brainwashing can be de-programmed. It cannot be done if the brainwashed soul remains embedded in her own geographical region, or continues living among her tribe or keeps hearing Islamic sermons or watching Islamist media.

"But how can one remove each and every Arab Muslim resident living in Yehuda and Shomron and in Gaza (just for starters) and keep each one apart from everyone else--and for many years? How can such a massive re-education process be done absent a total Israeli military victory? And then, what about the Muslim countries now tasked with keeping the peace in Gaza--Egypt, Turkey, Qatar (!!!)-- who've been subject to, and in the case of Qatar and Turkey, funders of, that same malign propaganda?" . . . 

New York Times 'by far' had the worse Israel-Hamas coverage in US media, Jerusalem Post editor says

Megyn Gets Brutally Honest with Karine Jean-Pierre Amid Embarrassing Book Tour: ‘They All Think You’re an Idiot’

 Megyn Kelly 

 "She now wants us to believe that when she refers to a “broken White House,” she is talking about the Trump White House, even though the subtitle of the book is “an inside look” at it? Since when is she inside the Trump White House?"

"Karine Jean-Pierre is making the media rounds to promote her new book, and she is giving Kamala Harris her run for her money. 

"My husband Doug and I were listening to clips from some of her interviews this morning, and he suggested there be some sort of a calculator to figure out how many words in each sentence she says actually have meaning. We both agreed it would probably find that only about 10 percent of her words are necessary. And then we had a debate about who would be lower on this scale, Karine or Kamala. We settled on Kamala, but KJP is in the running for the worst book tour and worst promotion around it.

"We talked about it yesterday on The Megyn Kelly Show with Emily Jashinsky, but it has only gotten worse since then as she sat down with Stephen Colbert, Morning Joe, and The View. It is hard to believe the lies coming out of her mouth. She has managed to stun even me and my team. And I’ll take you through the most egregious ones.

Morning Joe

"KJP stopped by the friendly confines of MSNBC Tuesday morning for a sit down with the Morning Joe crew. Now, keep in mind that the name of her book is Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House. So, how do you square this answer from the former Biden White House press secretary to a perfectly reasonable question from Jonathan Lemire?" . . . 

Argus Hamilton commented:

"Kamala Harris's campaign memoir was reported selling well as Karine Jean Pierre launched her own book tour. They're not the only members of the last administration that landed on their feet after the election loss. It appears that Hunter Biden landed a gig as Admiral of the Venezuelan Fleet."

Jews are right to be alarmed about Zohran Mamdani

 "While I will not tell people who I think they should vote for, I will continue to examine, through a Jewish lens, issues of concern I hope my congregants will consider when they vote. "   As well as so many Democrats.

"While Mr. Mamdani can muse about the countries surrounding Israel on all sides renouncing their Muslim character, it sounds ridiculous to the point of comical. No Jews I know are asking for that. We just need a secure Israel and a sense of safety for our community."

"The “Weekend Update” segment of a recent Saturday Night Live episode featured an interview with a fictional New Yorker, Rhonda LaCenzo, about her anxieties over Zohran Mamdani potentially becoming the city’s next mayor. Many of her objections to Assemblymember Mamdani were rooted in unambiguous Islamophobia. Yet, while she referred to him as a “hipster jihadist,” nowhere did the sketch address substantive concerns about his stance on Israel and the way his positions and words feed Jewish anxiety.

"Admittedly, that may have been too much to expect from an SNL comedy sketch. However, the segment left me worried about the conflation of hateful anti-Muslim bias and legitimate alarm over Mr. Mamdani’s anti-Zionist views.

Muslim-Jewish relations

"As a congregational rabbi, I have spent 25 years involved in initiatives bringing American Muslims and American Jews together. We share so much in common: Not just our founding narratives of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Isaac, Ishmael, and Joseph but also our more recent experiences as immigrant populations who looked to and came to America as a land of opportunity and religious freedom.

"Both communities have known the challenges of acculturating without assimilating and integrating while maintaining our unique ethnic and religious heritage.

Eric Swalwell launches call to demolish Trump's White House ballroom

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Ballroom Is the Least Damning Thing to Happen to the White House   "President Donald Trump’s privately funded plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom has Democrats like Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fuming about “luxury” while they’ve shut down the government.

"Presidents have remodeled the White House for over a century—from Harry Truman’s gut renovation to Barack Obama’s basketball court—yet only Trump gets scorn. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the hypocrisy on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “ 'Do we really want to know what belittles the White House? I mean, we're just coming off the Biden administration, where cocaine was found in a carrel in the West Wing. … Do you remember when Barack Obama was president? He brought in a whole cadre of Muslim Brotherhood people that were tied to Hamas Islamic terrorism. He brought an entourage, in 2012, into the White House. I remember, 2016, he thought it would be neat to have his favorite rappers in the White House. Kendrick Lamar—“Pimp a Butterfly.” Remember those lyrics about killing the police in the White House? That rapper—‘kill po-po,’ as he said. " 'We could go on with the embarrassing incidents. I won't mention what transpired between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton right off the Oval Office in the presidential laboratory. But nonetheless, the ballroom was needed. "

Unhinged Democrat launches call to demolish Trump's White House ballroom  "Swalwell would probably get his Chinese contacts to pay for the demolition . Fang Fang demolitions."

"The truth of the matter is the Democratic Party leaders have made it a party of hate. They called what is good bad, and what is bad good. I don’t think they’re gonna get that far. They should condition that construction, if the Democrats destroyed it, they have to restore to those contributed all the funds used to build that structure." Comments to the video.

Swalwell tells Democrats to destroy Trump's ballroom or else

Monica Showalter

"Somehow, Rep. Eric Swalwell has appointed himself the enforcer of the entire Democrat party.

"So now he's issued this marching order to his fellow Democrats:

Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE.

— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) October 26, 2025

"Which is pretty grotesque. Democrats are planning to appeal to voters on this selling point? It seems a little ... unimportant, given the kinds of problems created by Democrats that President Trump is now solving.

"What's more, it's a bad idea -- Trump is building the ballroom because the White House needs a ballroom; it's an official house and conducts official functions, some of which require accommodating large numbers of people. Destroying that, which cost taxpayers nothing, is costly, and for nothing but spite against President Trump.

"Is he really advocating for people walking on wet, muddy grass, including women in high heels and old people with walkers before heading indoors to events in cattle tents, and using the Porta-potties  to relieve themselves, as had been the status quo until Trump? They seem to hate civilized (and handicapped accessible) accommodations. The only thing that matters to them is Getting Trump.

"Is this the best idea they have? The hill they die on? 

"The best they can offer?

... and what they expend political muscle on to enforce conformity?

"The coerciveness of it is noteworthy.

"While I have no inside information on this, the spite over symbolism has the stench of Nancy Pelosi on it, and it's known that he's been her machine enforcer to Democrats the past. If so, he's probably doing this as a favor to her, in exchange for ... something. Wonder what." . . .

The Worst News Outlet of the Week - Who Dominated in Dysfunctional Coverage?

 "The hysteria over President Trump razing the East Wing to start construction on a new White House ballroom consumed most of the media oxygen. You would think Trump was exhuming the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to have his family members interred on the site. "

ABC News – . . . "Bob Woodward hailed Jon Karl as “unbiased” to promote Karl’s FOURTH anti-Trump book. The network reported that Letitia James was indicted by “Trump’s handpicked U.S. attorney” (unlike…every other U.S. attorney who is handpicked by a president) and ignored that James was indicted by a federal grand jury." . . .

And the winner: MSNBC! But how could you not know that?

Gavin Newsom Is The Worst Governor In America

Did California just legalize child abduction?   "Imagine going to pick up your child from school and being told that he’d already been picked up earlier in the day.  The school doesn’t know who the person was that took your child with him, but he filled out the state-required paperwork, and so the school was required to release your child into his custody.  The police can’t help because it was all legal.

"This situation is now entirely plausible in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 495 into law on October 12.  This bill has sparked outrage among conservatives, parental rights advocates, and religious leaders, as it clearly endangers children and undermines God-given parental authority.  This legislation was ostensibly framed as a safeguard for immigrant families, but it opens dangerous loopholes that could facilitate child-trafficking and abuse.  It demands urgent action from parents and concerned citizens.

"AB 495 expands the use of the Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit, which allows any adult claiming kinship “within the fifth degree” to make medical and educational decisions for a child without parental consent or verification." . . .

'The Five' eviscerates KJP   "White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s inability to answer a single question about President Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal prompted a flurry of criticism and mockery from the co-hosts of Fox News’s “The Five.”

"On Friday’s episode of “The Five,” the co-hosts specifically zeroed in on the non-answer answers Jean-Pierre had supplied during a briefing earlier that afternoon." . . .

Other press secretaries also used binders, such as Kayleigh Mcenany, but with that they gave substantive answers and could reply to follow-up questions.

Karine Jean-Pierre's Disastrous MSNBC Interview Begins on Robert Hur and Ends on 'Black' and 'Queer'   "Karine Jean-Pierre hit the interview circuit over the weekend, and her old friends weren't in any mood to welcome her back into the fold. Once a frequent guest on MSNBC, the former White House press secretary faced a hostile reception as she was grilled about her complicity in covering up Joe Biden's physical and mental decline as president. 

"One of the most egregious episodes during that time was Jean-Pierre's trashing of Robert Hur. As RedState reported at the time, the then-special counsel interviewed Biden over his allegedly illegal retention of classified documents following his stints as a senator and then vice president. In the end, it was determined that the former president was essentially too senile to be charged, with numerous memory lapses and cognitive issues being observed and documented by Hur.

"The donors stated that there simply was no one else that they would rather see representing the Democratic party.

" 'We love what Kamala brings to the table," said Republican donor Jerry Gondolin. "She has everything we want in a Democratic candidate. Honestly, I can't think of anyone better to give our money to. At least, since Joe Biden is unavailable."

"The Republican National Committee has also announced a matching donation up to $500 million for any Democratic donors who would like to support the cause. "If there's anything we can do to get Democrats on board with Kamala, count us in," said RNC chair Joe Gruters. "We would like nothing more than to partner with Democrats to make this happen. This is what real bipartisanship looks like."

"At publishing time, Republicans had asked all their registered members to please go ahead and put "Kamala 2028" signs in their yard."

How An "Untrained Cook" Took Down 4 Japanese Planes In One Afternoon

"December 7, 1941: Mess Attendant Doris "Dorie" Miller was collecting laundry on the USS West Virginia when Japanese aircraft attacked Pearl Harbor. Despite zero training on weapons, Miller manned a .50 caliber antiaircraft gun and fired at enemy planes until ordered to abandon ship. He became the first Black recipient of the Navy Cross. But the Navy sent him back to mess duty, and he died 22 months later on the USS Liscome Bay. This is the story of the untrained cook who became a hero—and what it cost him."

How Dorie Miller’s bravery helped fight Navy racism    

. . . "White later reported that Miller “didn’t know very much about the machine gun, but I told him what to do and he went ahead and did it. He had a good eye.”

"Lt. Cmdr. Johnson recalled Miller “blazing away as though he had fired one all his life.”

"Miller himself stated that “when the Japanese bombers attacked my ship at Pearl Harbor I forgot all about the fact that I and other Negroes can be only messmen in the Navy and are not taught how to man an antiaircraft gun.”

"Only when his gun ran out of ammunition and the critically damaged West Virginia began to sink did he cease firing, and only when Capt. Bennion was officially pronounced dead did the little group of officers and men abandon the ship’s bridge.

"Descending to the boat deck, Miller helped pull sailors from the burning water, unquestionably saving the lives of a number of men. By then, the ship was flooded below decks and rapidly settling in the harbor’s shallow water, and its senior surviving officer gave the order to abandon ship.

"Doris Miller was one of the last three men to leave West Virginia. He and his shipmates swam 300 or 400 yards to shore, avoiding patches of flaming oil from the battleship Arizona and strafing from Japanese planes.

"Miller later told his brother that “with those bullets spattering all around me, it was by the grace of God that I never got a scratch.”

"Even then, Miller helped scores of injured sailors to safety ashore." . . .

Who Was Doris Miller & Why Did He Have An Aircraft Carrier Named After Him?

. . . "As the Navy's fourth Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier, the USS Doris Miller has a future delivery date scheduled for February 2032. Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers span 1,092 feet from bow to stern, have 124 feet of beam, a flight deck width of 256 feet, and a cruising speed of 30 knots. One of the most significant improvements Ford-class carriers possess compared to older Nimitz-class carriers is the reduced number of crew members required for operation of the ship. The reduction is a result of 23 new or upgraded systems aboard the newer carriers."  Read More
