Two examples of tremendous tragedy—why tell of one and not the other?

"Honoring and memorializing the loss of American lives becomes a political sticking point with modern leftists."

James Zumwalt - American Thinker  

"While a common leftist thread is intertwined amongst these groups, undoubtedly the motivation for the Palestinian Pals was that nothing be done to remind anyone about the brutal actions of Islamists that day seeking our destruction; the motivation for the others is blind ignorance combined with a large dose of simple stupidity."

"It was fifteen minutes after midnight on July 30, 1945 when a torpedo, released from the Japanese submarine I-58, broke the water’s surface, immediately revealing its path. It was headed directly toward the cruiser USS Indianapolis, which was steaming in the middle of the Pacific Ocean enroute to the Philippines. Fortunately for our World War II effort, the ship had just completed a secret mission—dropping off a cargo on Tinian Island that would allow us to go on to drop the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan days later.

"However, unfortunately for the USS Indianapolis, completing that mission came at a high price. Two torpedoes would hit the vessel, causing her to sink in just twelve minutes. Of 1,196 crewmen onboard, only 890 survived the sinking. The loss of 65% more of the members of that group would occur before the remaining survivors were eventually found and rescued.

"Because the USS Indianapolis was on a secret mission, no one knew where she was. It would take four days for the US Navy to discover what had happened to her and initiate a rescue. But it was dehydration, exposure, saltwater poisoning, and numerous shark attacks that took their toll, ultimately reducing the number of survivors to only 316. As many as 150 deaths were shark-related, due to an insufficient number of lifeboats, causing survivors to have to rotate between the relative safety of the boat and the peril of floating in the sea.

"This event has been memorialized both in movies and documentaries—and rightfully so. The incident is the largest single loss of life for a warship at sea in our history. The tragedy, the courage, the struggle for survival against all odds, is a telling story that should never be forgotten".. . .  More.

Paying for our own destruction? Now it's 10 Somali migrants elected to office in Minnesota

"Why are taxpayers paying to elect them over other candidates?" Why are taxpayers willing to learn the "Death to America!" chant? Why do they choose to believe Israel started any war with Hamas? 

Eric Utter - American Thinker

Somali Congress Cartoons

"There are now 10 Somali elected officials in Minnesota, including the inimitable Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Count them, ten.

The latest one is Abdi Daisane, whose daycare (learing?) center was the beneficiary of $7.2 million in taxpayer money, despite repeated violations. Daisane’s wife is reported to have said of her arrival in the U.S., “I smuggled myself and jumped over the wall.”

As with everything else fraudulent and illegal these days, no one really cared. 

Actually, it’s worse than that. Turns out taxpayers have also been funding a Somali-led organization that trains Somalis to run for political office.

Great. If we are going to be forced to pay to train Somalis, couldn’t it be to train them in, say, the Judeo-Christian work ethic? 

The organization in question is Ayada Leads, a 501(c)(3) non-profit which has been funded by taxpayers through the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, or MDEED. (I suggest rebranding MDEED as “MISDEED.”). . .

Victorious Democrats prepare for a Palestinian purity-test purge of members

. . . "The most obvious target of this is Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who has enraged Democrats by not supporting Palestinian terrorists or communists and by occasionally saying nice things about Republicans." . . . 

As Ilhan Omar gloats over Islamic wins, Idaho Muslim sentenced for plot to massacre Christians with explosives, knives, firearms

"We are, once again, sowing the seeds of our own destruction. That seems to be what we do best at this point. We used to do things like protect our families and communities, conquer the Wild West, defeat our enemies, and invent, well, everything. Now we appear hell bent … on surrendering to Marxists and Muslims."

"An undercurrent of violence runs through expressions of what Muslims and their fans want to do to those who oppose them.

Imam Karim AbuZaid called the rise in power of Texas Democrats in the midterm elections “a chance for us Muslims to grab” power, according to the Dallas Express. He said physical battles will be part of that grab in the end.

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota used two words to send a taunting message that she and fellow liberals are coming for conservatives by reposting a social media post saying, “Hey MAGA, Allahu Akbar.”

Although the words literally mean ”God is greatest,” which gives Omar plausible deniability of the phrase’s darker meaning, the words are intertwined with terrorism, as noted by the Jenkins Center, which wrote, “Prior to the horrific terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the terrorists were instructed: ‘Shout “Allahu Akbar,” because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” . . .

CNN Director: We Focus on the Race of the Criminal When He's White But Hide It When He's a "Minority"

"You don't say.

You do not say.

This is a hidden-camera sting admission, of course. He would never admit this publicly.

This is standard CNN practice. Jake Tapper is very big on reporting crimes committed against Jews -- but, when black men were playing the knockout game with Jews in NYC, he did not report it, or if he mentioned it, he made sure he didn't run the video or name the perpetrators.

But he would generally complain of violence against Jews while avoiding any mention of the actual perpetrators of what he was talking about.

But then came the Tree of Life attack, where a synagogue was attacked by an Acceptable and Approved Villain, a white man. And then Jake Tapper really talked up the problem of violence against Jews, with the none-too-subtle suggestion that White Men, Republicans in particular, were responsible for it.

You see the same thing with rapes. White feminist women love to complain about rape... so long as it's a made-up allegation about presumably white Cornell students. (Note: It turns out most of them weren't white, but they assumed they were.)

Russell Brand, safely white, makes for an excellent Morality Play about concent.

Muslim rape gangs, on the other hand? Never heard of them. What are you talking about, Racist?"

This New York Freshman Showed Up to Congress on Day One and Told You Exactly What Democrats Have Planned for America

We must fear this Democratnik party as we once feared a Russian takeover after WW2. Elected by useful idiots, they are not the Democrats who could once lead us through a depression and a major two-front war while going head-to-head with enemies who wanted to turn America into a Soviet republic. TD

 Deplorable Daily   

"And it means every Republican senator who votes against conviction – which will be all of them – gets filmed doing it and turned into a 30-second ad. That’s the trap Lander telegraphed on his first day."

Mamdani and Brad Lander laugh at the Democrat wins

"Pete Hegseth rebuilt the military Biden gutted.

"Brad Lander walked into freshman orientation yesterday and said he wants Hegseth gone –

and took Kash Patel and RFK Jr with him.

"This New York freshman Democrat just told you everything you need to know about what the next two years look like.

"The List He Read Aloud Before Finding His Office

"Lander – the former New York City comptroller who lost a mayoral race, then knocked off a sitting congressman to get here – didn’t hedge when reporters caught him at orientation.

"“I’d like to impeach Hegseth, I’d like to see us impeach Kash Patel. I’d like to see us impeach RFK Jr.,” Lander said. “All of whom look to me like they have betrayed their requirements of their office.”

"Then he said the quiet part out loud.

“I would love to put that before the Senate,” Lander added, “and let’s see how Senators vote on those impeachments.”

""That last sentence is the whole game.

"Democrats aren’t expecting to remove anyone.

"They want Republican senators on record – defending Hegseth, defending Patel, defending Kennedy – in a vote they can run attack ads against in 2028." . . .

Muslim Texas Democrat Files Bills on Halal Meals, Muslim Heritage

 Daily Signal

"Just a week after a blue wave hit the Lone Star State, a Muslim state representative has filed multiple bills ahead of the 90th legislative session that would implement Islamic practices and holidays.

Democrat state Rep. Suleman Lalani, an immigrant from Pakistan who represents Texas House District 76, which encompasses Fort Bend and Harris counties, filed several bills ranging from establishing a “Muslim Heritage Day” to ensuring halal food is provided in schools.

"Bill filing opened for Texas legislators on Monday.

"Lalani filed House Bill 236, which amends Chapter 662 of the Texas Government Code to recognize Feb. 4 as Muslim Heritage Day in the state. The bill states that the day would recognize the historical, cultural, and social contributions of Muslim Americans to Texas.

"In addition to filing HB 236, he also filed House Resolution 16, which would formally recognize the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in 2027. 

"The ceremonial resolution would honor Muslims who observe Ramadan in the state and would “extend to Muslims across the Lone Star State sincere, best wishes for a joyous and meaningful observance.” 

"Lalani also filed two bills that relate to ensuring public schools provide halal food for students.  

"He filed HB 401, which would require Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to provide halal meal options when a parent or student requests one. The proposal would apply to both the school breakfast and lunch programs. 

"Lalani subsequently filed HB 426, which creates a similar halal-meal requirement in schools but would apply to a smaller number of school districts and charter schools. Under this legislation, school districts in counties with a population of at least 2.1 million and counties adjacent to those counties would have to provide halal food in schools. 

""In response to the Muslim Heritage Day bill, Republican state Rep. Mike Olcott wrote on X that he already knows how he will vote."

Perspective:  Most Republicans – 60% – are now inclined to regard U.S. support of Israel as about right. In January 2024, 33% said the U.S. was providing the proper amount of support to Israel, and 39% said the U.S. wasn’t being supportive enough.

AOC Is the Most Suitable Person to Lead the Democratic Party |

"The Left’s millennial could be the perfect presidential candidate for a party determined to learn nothing."

The American Spectator

"AOC supports Medicare for All. This excites many voters, especially those who failed math class. Let us turn to the master, P. J. O’Rourke: “If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it’s free.”

"The Democrats performed well in the elections, albeit thanks to the Republicans’ clumsy blunders. Now the internal battle to choose a presidential candidate truly begins. I assume the talk about Kamala Harris is a joke. My bet is undoubtedly on AOC. No one better represents the ruinous ideas that have dragged the Left into nowhere, into a hodgepodge of hallucinatory, deranged notions situated a hundred thousand light-years away from where things actually happen: reality.

"AOC has the demagoguery required to defend idiotic positions while bringing the most sensitive viewers to tears. She is that kind of leftist who, upon receiving an award, uses her acceptance speech to say something like: “On a day as happy as today, having received the County’s Best Hot Dog Award, I want to spare a thought for the children of Somalia, who have nothing to eat and are suffering terribly. Today, when you bite into your hot dog, think of them, and you’ll be making the world a better place.” 

"AOC is obsessed with the rich. That obsession led her to wear a dress emblazoned with “Tax the Rich” at the 2021 Met Gala. It is true that she faced an investigation into whether she had violated congressional rules (she had initially failed to pay for the outfit), but it is equally true that she perfectly embodies the ideas of the postmodern Left. Lacking a solid ideological framework and the faintest grasp of economics, its only means of mobilization are catchy slogans and foolproof placards. AOC, who, frankly, isn’t the sharpest pencil in the box, is right to wear her own slogan. She should do it every day. As for the aesthetics, if you want to know just how ridiculous something like this can look, imagine JD Vance in a white tailcoat emblazoned with “Death to Taxes.” It might make a conservative cringe, but believe me, there are plenty of people who genuinely believe a bumper sticker can change the world.

"AOC supports a Green New Deal. She wants to guarantee employment and transform the economy through green measures, basing all tax policy on a single objective: saving the planet. It is the most idiotic economic idea the Left has ever come up with (and the competition is fierce)." . . .  More.

Jewish business owner to Newsmax: Dem's silence on antisemitism no surprise

Key takeaways

• Boycott & Intimidation: Jewish-owned businesses, including Huda Burger, faced a boycott with fliers labeling them Zionist-owned, which owner Yehuda Sichel compared to Nazi-era tactics.
• Political Response: Sichel criticized Rep.-elect Chris Rabb for not condemning the protest, calling him a radical, while Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. John Fetterman publicly denounced the anti-Semitic actions.
• Community Support: Thousands of counterprotesters, including supporters from Canada, New York, Delaware, and D.C., rallied with American and Israeli flags, showing solidarity with Philadelphia’s Jewish community.

Texas Gun Owners Just Got a Preview of Life Under Democrats, and It’s Already Getting Ugly

RedState

"Fortunately, one firewall remains. Republicans still control the Texas Senate, and they've made clear they won't roll over and show their belly when it comes to Second Amendment protections."

"Texas Democrats rode last week's blue wave to a majority in the state House and the governor's mansion, and they've wasted no time showing gun owners what comes next. 

"It ain't pretty.

When bill prefiling opened on November 9, Democrats flooded the docket with gun-control proposals. The Texan counted 23 gun bills, all but one in the House, and NRA-ILA tallied roughly 35 firearm-related bills on day one alone.

That's a lot of gun control bills for a group that duped voters into thinking their primary concern was gas and grocery prices.

The wish list reads like it was copied straight from New York, not the Lone Star State.

State Rep. Ann Johnson's HB 218 would create "extreme risk protective orders," better known as red flag laws, and would repeal the 2025 law Gov. Greg Abbott signed banning them. Such laws are a blatant violation of due process, allowing the government to seize a person's firearms before they have been convicted of a crime or given a full opportunity to defend themselves in court.

There is little evidence that they actually work.

State Sen. Judith Zaffirini's SB 80 would make it a crime for anyone under 21 to buy a so-called "assault weapon." That definition is broad enough to cover a centerfire rifle with a pistol grip or a folding stock.

State Rep. Suleman Lalani's HB 606 goes further still and bans anyone under 21 from buying any firearm at all. Old enough to enlist, not old enough to buy a deer rifle.

Then there's Rep. Joe Moody's HB 659. It would require dealers to report anyone who buys two or more guns, or four or more magazines, in a short window. The report would go to the Texas Department of Public Safety and the buyer's local sheriff." . . .More.

Democrats Plan on Day 1 Should Terrify Everyone

Chicks On The Right  

"Committee leadership would also provide Democrats with greater control over hearing schedules, investigative priorities, and the issuance of subpoenas."

"Incoming House Democrats have signaled plans for aggressive investigations into corporate donations, potential pay-to-play arrangements, and several Trump administration figures once they organize in January. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said there is “real investigative work” to be done into Elon Musk’s actions involving federal employees, donations by businesses to the White House ballroom project, and Big Oil’s access to resources in Venezuela.

Get used to this guy again

"Garcia has described allegations of “pay to play” involving pardons and corporate contributions. “There are so many allegations and reports of real pay to play, whether it’s the pardons that have gone out to billionaires and donors, whether it’s been companies that have been giving to the ballroom — in exchange for what? We need to find out,” he said. Democrats are also weighing impeachment proceedings against some administration officials."The comments offer an early indication of how Democrats intend to use their newly acquired congressional authority. Rather than limiting their attention to legislative priorities, party leaders are preparing to scrutinize decisions made throughout the Trump administration, including relationships between government officials, wealthy donors, and major corporations.

"Garcia’s remarks suggest that the investigations could extend well beyond individual Cabinet members. Democrats are interested in examining whether private businesses or influential political contributors received favorable treatment from federal officials, although determining whether any improper arrangements occurred would require additional evidence." . . . More.

The Republican administration will be mobbed and lynched by the likes of "The View" harridans, plus everyone on the yellow-journalism sources such as MSNOW, talk show "comedians" and writers of evening dramas and sitcoms. Along with "educators" they have turned western mores upside-down, creating a culture that accepts the murderers of entire families as local heroes to be honored by Hamas flags and chants. Hamas supporters have enriched makers of "Palestinian keffiyehs" and learned to shout, "Death to America!" [Israel].

You'll recognize many of these from recent Presidential speeches to Congress in their matching outfits, angry faces, anti-everything signs. Watch for them standing by Bernie Sanders and AOC or appearing on MSNOW, CBS, and network Talk shows.

If I was having a Bar Mitzvah, I would want to recite lines from this book. Everything I read from these three gives me Jewish envy. I laughed til I plotzed. Did I use that correctly?” —W.

"Ergo, [t]hese acts are characterized by the exploitation of familial bonds to exacerbate suffering, or committed against family members in front of or in the presence of other members of their family.”

"Moreover, “[t]he acts must also be carried out as part of a widespread or systematic attack, where the perpetrator is aware of the context and implications of this overarching attack on families.’

These acts may encompass but are not limited to:

• Killing of family members.
• Inflicting serious bodily or mental harm on family members.
• Torturing family members.
• Committing acts of sexual violence, including rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, or enforced sterilization against family members.
• Separating family members by force or the threat of force.

• Broadcasting or disseminating any of the above acts or their effects on family members.
