'Absurd' Meghan Markle insists staff announce her as Duchess of Sussex

 Mercury News  

"Sykes also pointed out that, traditionally, such announcements are only made when a royal walks into a crowded room — not when they walk into a friend’s house — leading him to surmise that Meghan staged this “absurd scene” for the benefit of the journalist." 

"In a gushing new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Meghan Markle wants to let everyone know how “authentic” she is, starting with the way she appeared to not wear any makeup while posing for the fashion magazine cover.

"But of course, the wife of Prince Harry was probably wearing enough makeup to look glamorously au naturel so that her fans will praise her for being so brave. Meanwhile, that claim of authenticity gets challenged by the way Meghan and her PR team seem to have arranged a hagiographic profile that brushes by her many controversies, including the multiple staff-bullying allegations or that a Spotify executive famously called her and Harry “(expletive) grifters.” This profile certainly doesn’t mention journalist Tina Brown’s view that she has made “one terrible professional decision after another” in her ambition to become a media mogul and lifestyle influencer.

"Another “terrible professional decision” may come from doing the Harper’s interview, according to Tom Sykes, the Daily Beast’s royal expert. That’s because the profile reveals Meghan’s “astonishing self-importance” when it comes to trading on her connection to the British royal family by apparently insisting that she be referred to as the Duchess of Sussex in one key moment in the story, Sykes wrote in his Royalist newsletter. Sykes also expects that this interview could further inflame Prince William, who is reportedly keen on stripping Meghan and Harry of their royal titles when he becomes king.

"The big reveal about Meghan comes near the end of the profile. Writer Kaitlyn Greenidge describes how the Los Angeles-born former TV actor apparently expects to be announced as the Duchess of Sussex during a visit to a friend’s New York City mansion, which she’s using for the interview." . . .  More...

Jews in New York, "Feel unsafe in New York? Start looking for a home in Israel"

 Jerusalem Post  

"For Jews who can afford it, a modest apartment in Jerusalem, Haifa, or Beit Shemesh is no longer just a sentimental indulgence or a theoretical; it's an anchor." 

Demonstrators attend a pro-Palestinian protest on the day of the two-year anniversary of the attack on Israel by Hamas, in New York City

"Two scenes in the past week – one on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, one in Tel Aviv – send a single message to Diaspora Jews: it may be time to think seriously about owning a home in Israel.

"Outside Park East Synagogue, some 200 anti-Israel activists surrounded a Nefesh B’Nefesh aliyah fair, chanting “From New York to Gaza, globalize the intifada” and “Resistance, you make us proud, take another settler out.”

"One masked speaker led the crowd in a chilling refrain: “We need to make them scared!” as Jews trying to enter their synagogue were forced to push past jeering protesters. Inside, a Nefesh B’Nefesh staffer said that, compared with previous events, there was “more serious discussion of aliyah as an option.”

"New York’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, responded with a carefully balanced statement. His press secretary, Dora Pekec, said he “has discouraged” the language used outside Park East and “believes every New Yorker should be free to enter a house of worship without intimidation,” yet added that “these sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law.” To many Jews, it sounded like a mayor-elect unwilling to say clearly that targeting a synagogue with threats is antisemitic.

"The broader American backdrop is no less troubling. In its latest annual audit, the Anti-Defamation League logged more than 9,300 antisemitic incidents in 2024, a record high, and for the first time, most were explicitly tied to hostility to Israel or Zionism. “In 2024, hatred toward Israel was a driving force behind antisemitism across the US,” said Oren Segal, who leads the ADL’s efforts to combat extremism and terrorism." . .

. . . "Real estate decisions are personal and financial, not only ideological. Yet the question for many Jews is starting to sound less like “Should I buy in Tel Aviv or stay in New York?” and more like: In an age of multiplying uncertainties, where do I want my family’s emergency key to fit?"       .More...

Man named Jeffrey Epstein has devilish revenge plan for Democrat who confused him with convicted pedophile

. . . "Long Island neurosurgeon confused with late sex offender by outraged Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett" . . .

The Independent

  . . . "So, number one, I made sure that I was clear that it was a Jeffrey Epstein, but I never said that it was specifically that Jeffrey Epstein.”

A Long Island neurosurgeon who has the misfortune to be named Dr Jeffrey Epstein has an ingenious idea for how he might respond to Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett after she confused him with the notorious sex offender of the same name.

“I think that I should contribute money to Jasmine Crockett and then let everybody know that she also took money from Jeffrey Epstein,” the physician joked to The New York Post.

"Crockett threatened on the floor of the House of Representatives Tuesday that she was “gonna expose it all” after discovering that “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” had donated to the campaign of the former New York Republican congressman Lee Zeldin, now director of the Environmental Protection Agency.

"She also called out Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and the late John McCain, amongst others, for taking money from Epstein, not realising she had the wrong man."  . . . 

"The Democrat failed to notice that the pair of $1,000 donations she was referring to in Zeldin’s case had been made to in April and August 2020 while the disgraced financier died by suicide in a New York City jail cell in August 2019 as he awaited trial. “No freaking relation you genius!” Zeldin responded to Crockett on X."

. . . " As for the Democrat, Crockett has risen to prominence over the last two years as one of her party’s most frank and outspoken representatives but has attracted flack from MAGA and President Donald Trump in the process, with the latter routinely referring to her as “low IQ.” . . .

"What a f**king week, huh?" the bleary-eyed congressman says, holding his phone in selfie mode. "You know how weird this week was?"

When Joy Reid Discovers Biology -- In The Locker Room

"In the new progressive hierarchy, the feelings of a biological male now override the privacy concerns of a lesbian woman.

"In the LGBTQ+ alphabet salad, T is king and L is a back bencher. 

"Suddenly, Joy Reid is worried about a man changing next to her. It’s the same pattern we see when big-city liberals call to defund the police, right up until their home is robbed and 911 puts them on hold.

"This isn’t evolution -- it’s optics. Let’s rewind and take a walk back through Reid’s past ideological contortions.

"Asked years ago “What is a woman?” Reid floundered, visibly eager to avoid the obvious answer of an adult human female. Her discomfort was less about nuance than denial of reality. She is in good company, however, as a U.S. Supreme Court justice couldn’t answer that question either. 

"She then deployed crude analogies -- equating opposition to trans-medicalizing children with Nazi totalitarianism, claiming parents or doctors questioning puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones were on a morally “brutally violent” path.

3 Taxpayers Will Have Fled California In The Time It Takes You To Read This

Issues & Insights   

"Why do those who don’t or can’t leave put up with it? Why do they keep electing the same cast of criminals who are stealing their money and ruining their state?"

"Over the weekend, we learned that the Golden State loses one taxpayer to another state every minute, and faces an $18 billion budget shortfall, which is $5 billion higher than was projected just a few months ago.

"We also learned that only now, 10 months after wildfires destroyed thousands of buildings in the Los Angeles area, has the first home been rebuilt.

"These stories are yet more evidence of a completely dysfunctional state captured by ideologues who couldn’t care less about the harm their policies cause. Will voters there ever learn?

"The National Taxpayers Union Foundation used IRS data to calculate how many taxpayers are moving into and out of states each year.

"What it found was stunning. California is losing taxpayers at a rate of one every 1 minute 44 seconds – the fastest of any state in the nation. That amounts to billions in lost tax revenue every year.

"Florida, in contrast, is gaining taxpayers at a rate of one every 2 minutes 9 seconds."

. . . "Next, we come to the story in the Los Angeles Times over the weekend that “The first home has been rebuilt in the wake of the Palisades Fire.”

"L.A. Mayor Karen Bass calls it “an important moment of hope.”

"It is anything but that. As the Times itself notes, the Palisades fire destroyed nearly 7,000 buildings, but 10 months later, only 2,000 building permits have been issued and only 340 projects are under construction.

"In Atladena, the site of the other massively destructive wildfire in January that claimed some 6,500 buildings, the first home that managed to get an occupancy permit last week was a garage that had been converted into 640-foot “accessory dwelling unit.”

"Meanwhile, more than 70% of the Palisades fire victims still live in temporary housing, as are 67% of the victims of the Altadena fires.

"Most of them have little hope of ever returning, or seeing their communities rebuilt." . . .More...

Democrat pundits are “LOLing” all over the place at Newsom’s alleged brilliance in aping the internet manners of President Trump.

"It would be a lot more fun if the situation in Gavin’s own state were sunnier.

"As it is, while Newsom plays cute online, California is in a disastrous state. Just this year, it has suffered ruinous wildfires, causing billions of dollars worth of damage. And even if the areas of Los Angeles that burned to the ground are rebuilt, good luck to anyone trying to get home insurance." . . .

TDS Now Resembles Orwell’s ‘Two Minutes Hate’

The American Spectator    

. . . "The scary part of the next several years is that once the empty suits or dresses have been discarded, the Newsoms or the AOCs, someone will emerge who can win hearts as well as votes." . . . 

"Some complain that “Orwellian” has become the most overused phrase in current political discourse, but I beg to disagree. Although George Orwell succumbed to tuberculosis — and perhaps political despair — at the age of 46, some 75 years ago, his characterizations of our political condition have never been more apposite — and more chilling.

"In a world in which violent fascists cloak themselves in the name Antifa, one can readily picture the pigs in Animal Farm, indistinguishable in the end from human tyrants. In a world in which the murders and rapes of October 7 are celebrated on American university campuses, or when young New York voters reject the memory of 9/11 to elect as mayor a radical Islamist, we see inversions of truth and decency that Orwell predicted throughout his mature work, most notably in 1984. 

" 'War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.” Not far removed, then, from “women’s reproductive health” or “gender-affirming care,” to take only a handful from among dozens of contemporary leftist deceits. It’s not hard to imagine what Orwell would have made of Mamdani, AOC, and the so-called “Democratic” Socialists of America, and easier still to picture the contempt he would have had for the Schumers and Sanders and Newsoms. One suspects that Orwell might not have much cared for Trump, but he would have clearly seen through the humbuggery of the Democrats.

"None of Orwell’s insights, however, are as relevant to our present political moment as his construct, in 1984, of the “Two Minutes Hate.” In the novel’s dystopian universe, the citizens of Oceania are subjected on a daily basis to terrifying images of the countries enemies, transmitted into every home, office, and public place through “telescreens,” devices that combine the function of televisions with that of electronic surveillance devices, a disturbing anticipation of today’s various technologies (the extent to which our various monitors have become monitoring devices must be a subject for another essay).

"Central to this image bombardment is the figure of Goldstein, understood by all to be the traitorous figure behind every assault on every citizen’s well-being. In Goldstein, Orwell evokes not only the antisemitism of Hitler and the Nazis, but also that of Stalin’s regime in Soviet Russia. Still, the figures portrayed in the “Two-Minute Hate” go far beyond anti-Jewish tropes, embracing, from one day to the next, everything likely to stir fear and anger among the “everyman” audience." . . .

The One Thing Democrats Will Never Try To ‘Get’ Trump    . . . "In many ways, the monster that the left claims Trump to be is one of their own creation. 

"When he first ran for president, Trump had a long history of liberal positions on issues, and was more critical of Republicans than Democrats. He sided with the left on the Iraq war, praised Britain’s national health insurance, promised never to touch Social Security and Medicare, etc.

"But instead of seeing an opportunity, the left treated Trump with unrelenting hostility, and many high-profile establishment Republicans declared they’d never vote for him. But some conservatives made it clear that they were willing to work with Trump, make staffing recommendations, offer policy help, and so on." . . .

Epstein Cover-up in Disarray

 Ann Coulter 

. . . "Epstein’s pedophile ring was broken by the Palm Beach Police in 2005. It’s taken 20 years to be this close to getting the names of the participants and government accomplices. Something’s been blocking the release of this information.

"This week, President Trump’s uncanny political instincts resulted in a near-unanimous congressional resolution forcing his administration, against its collective will, to release the Epstein files.

"Thirty-six hours before his impending loss, Trump announced on social media: “House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files.” One imagines Trump murmuring, Now I’ve got them right where they want me.

"Why doesn’t he just release them? This is like filing a lawsuit asking the court to rule against you.

"Big victory, but I’m already bracing for another Al Capone’s vault fiasco.

"Recall that, after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, the FBI searched his New York residence for 12 hours.  They found what most of us have: a buried safe in a fifth-floor dressing room. The agents sawed it open and discovered cash, diamonds, fake passports — and binders of CDs containing photos of naked girls, carefully labeled with the girls’ names as well as the names of “third parties.”

"Then they left, walking away from the biggest collection of incriminating evidence since Nuremberg.

"When Special Agent Kelly Maguire (”special” in every way) returned to the house days later — surprise! — the binders were gone. They had been carted off by Epstein’s accountant, Richard Kahn, who apparently had NO IDEA, NONE! that the FBI might be interested in a vast trove of photos stored in a pedophile’s safe.

"Maguire said she didn’t remove the photos the first time because the search warrant did not allow it. (Nor, apparently, did it allow her to secure the premises.) If this is true, the most titillating document in the Epstein files may be a search warrant that failed to mention “evidence of a crime.”

"It’s difficult to believe this was mere incompetence, even from a female law enforcement officer.*

"By now, the government has had a 20-year head start on “losing” evidence in the Epstein case. Our only consolation is that destroying evidence is a serious crime, aggressively prosecuted and punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Otherwise, everyone would do it." . . .

Word for today: Kakistocracy: California's kakistocracy of gubernatorial candidates

  Monica Showalter 

"And the thought of any one of them becoming governor is just plain disgusting, like looking at a sewer full of sludge."

"What happens when a state is ruled by one and only one party?

"In California, as the governor's race kicks off, we are learning the answer: Kakistocracy, or, rule by the least suitable, least competent, and most unscrupulous, at least among the Democrats running.

"Who should turn up to prove it but Rep. Eric Swalwell, the hate-filled leftist famous for his bad judgment in women, as his old girlfriend, Chinese agent Fang Fang could tell, and best known for denying that he let out a big one on live television while denouncing President Trump as "a cheat" in his quest to impeach him. Everyone saw the video.

"His biological urges aside, his real problem is that he doesn't have much to him other than hatred for President Trump, which is his platform. Never mind that the state has an $18 billion deficit, has shelled out $13 billion for free health care for illegal aliens while everyone else pays through the nose, three cities remain burned to the ground with bureaucratic red tape preventing their reconstruction, the state sports the highest taxes in the nation -- and some of the lowest educational scores, the cost of living is through the roof, residents are fleeing, and he wants to make the race about Trump, trying to macho us with his talk of 'protecting' us from Trump. He's not just out to lunch on that, he's also a pawn of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, her trusted errand boy, doing whatever the old crone wants of him to get her underhanded agenda into motion. 

"Lately, he's tried to shake that image -- by walking around trying to look like the '80s cool dudes on Miami Vice. All he's managed to do is look like he needs a shower and a shave, all seedy and sweaty.

"He's a laughingstock -- but here he is, taking his spot against Katie Porter in the run for the governor.

"Katie Porter is kakistocracy embodied. The hog-faced hater, up until revelations came out that she threw a pan of mashed potatoes on her now-ex-husband and screamed 'get out of my shot' at her staffer, seemed to have had the nomination in the bag. She was so confident she declared she didn't need votes from anyone in her state who voted for President Trump. To Republicans, her terms were acceptable. Taking the governor's chair was her 'reward' from the Pelosi machine for allowing then-Rep. Adam Schiff to take the Senate spot she coveted. After her string of errors resulted in plunging poll numbers, she now has a slew of competition -- all of them just as repulsive." . . . More...

For the media, when it comes to bad Democrats, silence is golden

"It certainly appears that NBC, CBS, ABC nightly news programs, along with PBS, NPR, and late-night shows like Fallon, Colbert, Myers, and Kimmel, coordinate what they decide to cover and what they seek to hide from the public. The morning news shows and The View also seem to follow the same marching orders. Here are some stories that the public likely won’t see or will barely see when they watch these shows. They operate on the theory that what the public doesn’t know about Democrats won’t hurt them—that is, it won’t hurt the Democrats. So, while they reluctantly report these stories, they downplay and quickly bury them." . . .

. . . "And of course, the media still pretend that the Obama-Biden administration was very popular and scandal-free free as they lost over 1,000 seats nationwide in eight years.

"Summary: For decades, most of the media have believed their function is to support Democrats and their left-wing policies and to destroy Republicans and their common-sense policies for less government. The public needs to be kept in the dark. Otherwise, they would rarely, if ever, elect Democrats."

Comer Threatens to Initiate Contempt Proceedings Against the Clintons if They Continue to Ignore Epstein Subpoenas

 American Greatness  

Back in August, Comer subpoenaed the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein for unredacted documents, including cash ledgers, message logs, calendars, and flight logs.

"House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) warned Bill and Hillary Clinton Friday that if they continue to ignore deposition subpoenas regarding their history with Jeffrey Epstein, he will initiate contempt proceedings.

"The House Oversight Committee is conducting a review of the federal government’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, focused on potential mismanagement of the case, the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death, his trafficking network, and possible ethics violations by elected officials.

"Comer sent a letter to Clinton attorney David Kendall, emphasizing that the Clintons are required to comply with House subpoenas and appear for scheduled in-person depositions.

"According to the chairman, Democrats and Republicans on the Oversight Committee approved a motion to issue the subpoenas back in July.

" The Committee has since worked in good faith to schedule in-person depositions, but further delays are unacceptable,” Comer wrote. “Given their history with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, any attempt by the Clintons to avoid sitting for a deposition would be in defiance of lawful subpoenas and grounds to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” he added.

"Comer stated that Bill Clinton’s deposition is scheduled for December 17, 2025, and Hillary Clinton’s deposition is scheduled for December 18, 2025 and asked Kendall to confirm their appearance.
