Hollywood celebrities are backing a terrorist murderer — read the facts

More than 20 Marvel universe actors join campaign for release of Palestinian politician Marwan Barghouti

"More than 20 actors from the Marvel universe — including Mark Ruffalo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton — have joined a campaign calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti.

"These Hollywood celebrities portray him as a Palestinian political prisoner and compare his imprisonment to that of Nelson Mandela.

"This is what happens when Hollywood’s woke celebrity club substitutes ideology for facts.". . . .. . . "They have spent their careers playing superheroes, but appear to know remarkably little about the history they are now trying to rewrite. They sit comfortably in their movie studio trailers and pronounce moral judgments on a bitter conflict in which they have no personal stake and, judging by this campaign, very little understanding." . . .

"Before demanding Barghouti’s release, the Marvel justice league should do something remarkably simple: Read the documents.

"Read the names of the five people he was convicted of murdering. Read the evidence. Then explain to their millions of followers why those victims should be written out of the story while Barghouti becomes its hero.

"Hollywood can manufacture superheroes; it cannot manufacture innocence. The victims were real. The convictions were real. The families are still real. And Barghouti can never go free."

"Nitsana Darshan-Leitner is an Israeli human rights lawyer and president of the Shurat HaDin Law Center, which represents terror victims.

‘Sanitizing a Serial Killer’   . . . "Judges found him responsible for a June 2001 drive-by shooting that killed a Greek Orthodox monk on the road between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, a January 2002 shooting at a gas station near Jerusalem in which an Israeli was murdered, and a March 2002 attack at Tel Aviv’s Seafood Market restaurant where three people were murdered, as well as a failed suicide bombing outside a Jerusalem mall.

"The court also held Barghouti morally responsible for additional attacks carried out by cells under his command and sentenced him to five consecutive life terms plus additional years.

"Israeli officials and security analysts have long identified him as one of the principal architects of the Second Intifada’s terror campaign that left more than 1,000 Israelis dead in shootings, bombings, and other attacks deliberately targeting civilians.

"Israel’s Channel 12’s chief political correspondent Amit Segal responded to the Hollywood petition in a sharply worded post on X, warning that the signatories are whitewashing Barghouti’s record." . . .

 "Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy were found by their father in the basement of their Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023, after Lindsay strangled them with exercise bands.

. . . "Lindsay has since pleaded not guilty to three murder charges after she strangled her children on the night of January 24, 2023.

"Lindsay’s lawyer plans to argue that she was not criminally responsible for murder because she was suffering from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis.

"On the other side, prosecutor Jennifer Sprague of the Plymouth County DA’s Office, has alleged that Lindsay deliberately killed Cora, Dawson and Callan, and “gave herself the time and privacy needed to commit the murders.” ----------------Full article here.

Hamas’s Fire Kites Put the Gaza Cease-Fire to the Test

So, how's that two-state working out for you all?

The American Spectator

"Mr. Trump, it’s time to take a stand against all of those things. If you don’t, our only real ally in the Middle East will be left all alone."  

"Near the end of the movie Mary Poppins there’s a scene where everyone breaks out in a song “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” There’s probably no more wholesome fun than flying a kite with one of your kids. But that was long ago before Hamas began flying kites intending to kill people.

"This isn’t a new thing for Hamas. They’d been flying incendiary devices into Israel for years before their October 7, 2023 attack which began the latest war. Now, Hamas seems to be trying to get away with the new round of attacks and, according to the United Nations, they are.

"UN Human Rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani dismissed Israeli threats to evacuate civilians from areas where the fire kites are being flown. She said, “On the threat of expulsion due to children’s kite flying, I hope we can all agree that this is outrageous.” Really? The Hamas kites aren’t innocent acts by children. The incendiary kites are terrorist acts.

"Hamas is testing Israel’s response. Will it attack the presumed kite launch sites? It very well could but that would not be a forceful move. Hitting some empty lots won’t do anything.

"While all this is going on, Hamas is doing pretty much everything to not comply with the stated terms of the U.S. cease-fire in Gaza.

"One Hamas “senior spokesman,” Hasan Badran, said in a August 12 interview that Hamas has decided to participate in the Palestinian elections to be held at the end of November. This clearly violates the ban on Hamas’s participation in the government of Gaza which is part of the cease-fire deal.

"Hamas continues to police Gaza, contrary to its commitment not to govern the territory." . . .

"We don’t, as the Democrats do, support Hasan Piker, an “American” podcaster who has said, among the many other awful things, that the U.S. deserved the 9-11 attacks. We don’t stand with the Democrats who elected New York Mayor Mamdani, who wants to turn the city into a mini-socialist state. And we don’t stand with the many Democrats who want to end U.S. support of Israel." . . .  More...

You mean like this guy? Far-left streamer Hasan Piker equates Israel's 'right to exist' to Nazi Germany   Irony alert:

"Piker, an outspoken anti-Israel voice, also compared Zionism to fascism and Nazi Germany during the conversation."    

Piker's favorite movie character, I'm sure.

What could Piker possibly have against Nazi Germany?  He'd have loved what the SS did to Jewish families by the millions and would have laughed at those trains as they left for the chimneys? TD

A Democrat Called for Imprisoning American Zionists – Her Party Blamed the GOP – The Federalist Papers

UPDATE:  No, Democrats haven’t distanced themselves from Hasan Piker

  . . . "Piker’s contention that Jews will have brought violence on themselves mirrors el-Sayed’s statement — “hurt people hurt people” — rationalizing the near-massacre of kindergartens in a Hezbollah-style car-ramming at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township last year. Even after noting his statement was a “mistake,” el-Sayed was still arguing that he was merely trying to offer “context.” The “context” is that el Sayed treats murderous terrorists of the Islamic variety as rational actors with legitimate grievances. Just like Piker."

California's Midterm Election Will Determine Fate of Costly New Mileage Tax

"California drivers already pay the highest gas tax and car tax in the nation. Now Sacramento Democrats want to charge them for every mile they drive too!

"Under the plan, drivers would be charged six to nine cents for every mile they drive, on top of the gas tax and car tax they already pay. All cars would be required to have electronic mileage trackers installed or be taken in annually by drivers for mileage inspections. Drivers would then be sent a tax bill for the Mileage Tax they owe.

"For the average Californian driving 15,000 miles a year, a six cent-per-mile Mileage Tax works out to $900 annually - or the equivalent of raising the gas tax itself by 87 cents per gallon!

"'Because of the extreme policies of Democrats in Sacramento, California has the highest cost of living in the nation - and now the Democrats want to make it worse by imposing a crazy new Mileage Tax on all drivers," CA State Rep. Carl DeMaio says.

"DeMaio says the Mileage Tax won't fix roads and is just another money grab by politicians who continue to engage in wasteful spending and raids on road funds." . . .

CA Democrat Bill to Legalize "Crimes of Necessity" Defeated   

. . . "The bill barely passed the Assembly, 41 to 22, with every Republican voting no and a couple of Democrats joining them. DeMaio said Reform California turned that narrow, party-line vote into a public pressure campaign, using social media, text messages, and digital outreach to make sure voters knew exactly what the bill did and who supported it." . . .

How Capitalism Reduces Poverty and Creates Wealth

James T. Moodey - American Thinker

"It was not greed that made capitalism successful; it was nearly the opposite.  It was the sharing of profits with all who sold the product."

"The word capitalism was coined in the 1700s.  The definition was vague.  It generally meant “private property traded freely” or “free markets.”  However, most non-totalitarian countries had free markets, and these countries in Europe and elsewhere were not particularly wealthy.  Their rural people were paupers living off the land, even in England, France, and the U.S. at our founding.

"We generally regard capitalism as creating wealth, but free markets are not what created the enormous wealth that occurred in the United States.  I knew that and studied our economic history to find out: If it was not free markets, what was it?  What specifically were the mechanics of “our capitalism” that created such wealth?  

"I found the answer.  However, I also learned that capitalism cannot be taught without properly defining wealth.

"Wealth of a nation is its amount of usable goods.  I use the term usable goods to exclude paintings and other speculative items.  Poverty is a lack of usable goods, such as clothes or food.  A large supply of usable goods brings prices down and reduces poverty.  We became wealthy because we produced an enormous amount of usable goods.  But how did that happen?

"Usable goods are created by factories.  It is not the amount we pay factory workers that is important; it is the millions of hammers, shoes, and vehicles they produce that create wealth.  Farmers and utility workers can be included with factory workers who produce usable goods for millions of people. " . . . More...

James T. Moodey in his youth as a Grand Canyon river guide, progressed from running technical rapids into two technical careers: Relocating factories, which may be the most complex of business problems, and owning a company with a Weights and Measures gas physics laboratory. He relies not upon his university economics degree; but, upon thirty-five years of private sector experience where he says, "The real learning begins." He clearly explains the precise causes of poverty. As a result, his solutions become obvious and easy to understand.

Bill and Hillary Clinton Are Looking for Help - and What They're Asking for Has People Laughing

  RedState  

"One commenter joked that the position is with the former first lady’s office because, “you can’t offer ‘internships with Bill Clinton’ anymore.'” Never ends.

"Both Bill and Hillary Clinton are seeking help for their foundation, the Clinton Foundation. 

"But the advertisements for the positions they are looking to have filled have people laughing when they think of the Clintons' history. 

"For instance, there was an ad for an "intern" to work at Hillary's office on Madison Avenue in New York City, doing research, memos, office management, and more. Hillary wants someone with a “high level of professionalism and discretion,” according to the posting on DayBook. I think if they had those qualities, they would probably have enough sense not to apply for that job. 

"Meanwhile, Bill Clinton's team is looking for a “special projects associate” to help draft meeting agendas, edit briefs, and coordinate between his office and the foundation.

"The "special projects associate" salary is projected to be between $50,000 and $55,000, which is pretty low given the position, how much money the foundation has, as well as having to live in New York. So much for the Democrats claiming they're for a living wage. 

"Meanwhile, the poor intern who would have to work for Hillary would be taking an unpaid position within the Clinton Foundation. Who would take that - no money plus having to work for Hillary? The position also calls for "transcribing speeches and public remarks," "managing mail and maintaining archives," as well as a "commitment to working 25 to 29 hours per week." Can we talk about hell on Earth?" . . .  More...

What to Know Before You Buy Jim Bakker Morningside Gourmet Meals Time of Trouble

Food Storage Reviewer   "Earlier this year we posted about Jim Bakker and his emergency food offerings (Five Things You Should Know About Jim Bakker Food). Recently, we have seen a new line of products from Jim called Morningside Gourmet Meals. These meals come in square green totes in increments of one, two, and seven years. Here is what you need to know before you purchase, or “donate” one of these products." . . .

. . . "Are There Other Options Besides Buying Food From Jim Bakker?

"Absolutely. The best option to most closely match what is included in the Morningside Gourmet Meals, without the excessive cost, is the Food For Health 1,000 serving bucket. You can buy them from us for only $524.75. The package comes in 5 buckets and contains 132,500 calories.

"At 253 calories per dollar it gets a 90 out of 100 in the Price Category. Overall, this product scores 87 out of 100 making it one of the best options for food storage (read the full review here). And, if you are planning for multiple people just go ahead and buy a few more packages.

"And if green totes are your thing, that’s eFoods signature. We’ve reviewed their 1-Year Food Supply that ships in 8 green totes and has a good 193 calories per dollar grade, giving it a score of 83 out of 100 in the Price Category. Read the full review here.

"In conclusion, we salute all those who are helping spread the good word of preparedness. However, we believe in full disclosure, and we don’t think the Jim Bakker Morningside Gourmet Meals are as good of a deal as they are made out to be.". . . More...

Todd Blanche Ended A Soros-Backed District Attorney’s Plan to Blow Up the White House With Three Words

Deplorable Daily   

BLANCHE: “The fact that you have a local district attorney talk about blowing it up is reflective how divisive and unfortunate the Democrats have made this issue!”

. . . "[Todd Blanche] also noted what most Philadelphians were already thinking: that a DA with his city's homicide numbers might want to focus closer to home.

"Chief Justice John Roberts had issued the stay just days before, blocking a lower court ruling that had required Congressional sign-off before construction could proceed.

"Trump posted on Truth Social thanking the Court: "The Military/Ballroom Complex being built on the hallowed grounds of the White House, which is so vital for National Security, will be THE GREATEST OF ITS KIND!"  Video: the old Nazi trope.

What George Soros Bought in Philadelphia

"This is not Krasner's first rodeo with statements like this.

"In January 2026, Krasner threatened ICE agents on camera, comparing them to Nazis and vowing to "hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades."

"His office was later found by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to have made fraudulent misrepresentations to a court while attempting to overturn a convicted murderer's death sentence.

"Philadelphia recorded its highest homicide total in over 300 years on his watch.

"The Pennsylvania House voted to impeach him in 2022.

"He won reelection anyway – to a third term – because George Soros keeps writing checks.

"Soros spent nearly $1.7 million to put Krasner in office in 2017 – five times what Krasner himself raised – through a PAC called Philadelphia Justice and Public Safety.

"A Media Research Center investigation later documented that Soros's organization Fair and Just Prosecution had Soros-backed DAs sign 33 pledges not to enforce certain laws, including immigration statutes and election integrity measures.  Krasner signed those pledges." . . . More.

Elizabeth Warren Proves Once Again That She Has No Idea How Basic Economics Works

 "But because Elizabeth Warren has never had a real job and has no idea how to work in the real world, she thinks dynamic pricing is a bad thing, and she wants to make the companies that provide us with goods and services the bad guy in all of this." Amy Curtis

Elizabeth Warren Proves Once Again That She Has No Idea How Basic Economics Works  "It's a fairly good rule of thumb that if Elizabeth Warren is against something, it's probably a good thing that you should support. Or, at the very least, it reveals just how ignorant she is about how our supply-and-demand economy actually works.

"She's now waging a war against "dynamic pricing," which she claims is how "giant companies ... squeeze you even more." . . .

Elizabeth Warren's Economic Plan: Break and Remake  . . . "Warren supported a single-payer "Medicare for All" healthcare system, while Trump sought to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with an alternative plan. She proposed a wealth tax targeting the wealthiest individuals and higher taxes on high-income earners, aiming to redistribute wealth and increase funding for social programs. Trump meanwhile pursued tax cuts, particularly for corporations and high-income individuals, to stimulate economic growth.

Warren emphasized the need for stricter regulation of Wall Street and the financial industry, while Trump pursued deregulation and rolled back certain regulations. Warren also supported a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and comprehensive immigration reform, while Trump focused on tightening immigration controls, border security measures, and travel bans on predominantly Muslim countries. Warren emphasized a multilateral approach to foreign policy, criticized Trump's "America First" approach, and sought to restore U.S. global leadership.20

Dolly Parton Shut Down ABC’s Attempt To Get Her To Attack Trump

 Trending Politics  

"The resurfaced clip offers a contrast to the celebrity political culture that followed, where actors, musicians and athletes increasingly became fixtures in political campaigns and partisan debates. Parton’s response also contained a lesson that many entertainers have learned the hard way."

"An old interview featuring country music legend Dolly Parton is drawing attention, showing how the famously apolitical entertainer handled an attempt to pull her into a political fight over President Donald Trump.

The exchange dates back to 2018, when Parton sat down with ABC News and was pressed about Trump and controversial comments he had made before entering the White House. Rather than take the bait, Parton made it clear from the beginning that she had no interest in using her celebrity status to tell Americans what they should think politically.

“I just don’t get into that,” Parton said. “And so if you are deciding you may want to ask me something more serious, don’t, because I’m not going to answer it,” she said.

The interviewer nevertheless continued, bringing up Trump and comments captured on the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“You have a president of the United States who said those things on that bus,” the interviewer said.

"Parton refused to budge.

"'I’m not addressing that. I do not get into that,” she responded. “Of course, I have my opinion about everybody and everything. But I learned a long time ago, keep your damn mouth shut if you want to stay in show business.”

"The remark summed up an approach that became increasingly uncommon as celebrities and entertainers waded deeper into partisan politics during the Trump era." . . .More...
