Good morning, kids. It certainly looks as if Netanyahu has indeed had enough of Biden, Blinken and the jug-eared dog-eating closet queen from Kalorama and has told them to go piss up a rope insofar as an insane ceasefire. Considering the mass slaughter and savagery perpetrated by these subhuman Islamic monsters and the fact that the hostages are likely dead or, at this point praying for death, a ceasefire right now, with the IDF poised to wipe out Hamas' last redoubt, is akin to Curtis LeMay giving Tojo the atomic bombs and letting the Japanese nuke America.
I can't read Netanyahu's mind, but perhaps after years of living in denial about the United States insofar as the desperate desire to maintain the illusion of America as Israel's most steadfast ally, regardless of who's in charge, he's finally realized that given who's in charge now, the America government today is at best no longer an ally and should likely be considered firmly in the enemy camp if not an actual enemy.
That statement now applies to the American citizenry and its relationship with the Junta. As horrific as the pogrom unleashed on Israel last October was, the reaction to it by the alleged civilized world and here at home by the Democrat-Left, from a political standpoint, has been gold delivered to us on a silver platter.
Remember that Joe Biden, as horrendous an example of a human being to have ever obtained political office in this country, just behind the Clintons and Kennedys, was deliberately chosen by Obama because his veneer of being an alleged moderate of the old school gave Obama the cover, on top of his mulatto melanin, to unleash his radical Maoism on America with impunity.
Now as his puppet, with the disaster of the past three years exploding that myth to all but the truest of true believer leftists, the pre-planned explosion of campus Jew-hate that dates back to shortly after the IDF began its retaliatory war on Hamas in Gaza, is likely the nail in their coffin as far as this November goes. Election fraud, the kangaroo court Trump show trials, and perhaps mass rioting this summer in Chicago and Milwaukee and all over the place as the pretext for martial law and another CIA/DOJ/State Dept. color revolution right here notwithstanding.
With that, Biden is caught between having to appease his radical base and not totally turning off not just Jewish voters but anyone who has eyes to see what the hell is going on both here and abroad. Hence his latest clumsy attempt to equivocate Israel and "Palestine" while then going on to say he is not wavering in his support for Israel, phony as that surely is.
On March 1, 2018, Joe Biden got a $200,000 check. The story of where that check came from involves everything from “bloodstained currency” to smuggled gold bars to ‘The Exorcist’. But above all else it involves an enemy Muslim tyranny with ties to 9/11 and Hamas.
When I first broke the story a week before Election Day, it was about how hospital patients in smaller poorer hospitals, including one that had inspired ‘The Exorcist’, had suffered because of the corrupt greed of the Biden family. But even then there was a strange element which led to one of the key figures in the case receiving “blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country” and a “torture ticket” after suing James Biden: Joe’s brother.
Four years later, in the midst of the Hamas war, the identity of the “Middle Eastern country” behind the Biden business takes on new importance because it is a state sponsor of Hamas. And congressional investigators and investigative journalists have also traced a trail from Qatar, through James’ health care business to that $200,000 check he sent to Joe Biden.
The health care business that brought together the Biden family and an Islamic terror state had targeted stricken rural hospitals in Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania. . .
. . . Qatar’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (the parent organization of Hamas) and Iran had led to an embargo by its neighbors. And Qatar’s ties to terrorists, including to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, who hid out there until he was allegedly tipped off by a member of the Islamic tyranny’s royal family that America was coming to get him, may have complicated the proposed investment funding mechanisms.
The next stage of the plan involved James Biden becoming the “chief global banking emissary” for Billerfy which processed payments for a cryptocurrency exchange known as Quadriga that traded money for crypto. Later that year, Billerfy’s accounts were frozen and millions were found in a personal account. Six days later, Quadriga’s 30-year-old CEO suddenly died in India, locking up $70 million in cash and $191 million in crypto. Another co-founder, Michael Patry, whose real name turned out to be Omar was raided and authorities discovered gold bars in a vault. The whole operation was then exposed as a massive ponzi scheme.
But by then James Biden had already benefited from $600,000 in “personal loans” from the health care company. On March 1, 2018, Americore wired $200,000 to James and he wrote a $200,000 check to Joe. But the loans, according to bankruptcy court documents were conditioned based on “representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could “obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”
. . . Even while undermining the sitting [Trump] administration, Biden’s brother was offering the services of his family to an enemy nation. This has wider implications beyond Qatar’s role backing Hamas. Qatar was also the central intermediary in the Taliban “deal” and had formed an alliance with Iran. It is difficult to know whether the “Biden family” relationship with Qatar played any role in the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and in the sanctions relief offered to Iran.
We do know there was a relationship between the Biden family and a state sponsor of Hamas, which Joe Biden profited from, and that has disturbing implications for our national security.
“We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James Biden once bragged. One of those investors had ties to Iran, Al Qaeda, Iran and Hamas.
If the dimwits of "the Squad," in Dearbornistan and on college campuses nationwide only opened their eyes a little bit, they'd understand that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, with or without the string-pulling of Obama, has done more to further their twin causes of destroying Israel and destroying America than they could have ever dreamed.
And yet, they're sliming him as "genocide Joe" because they think he supports Israel? Biden may have dementia, but these assholes are just plain stupid to not see the taqqiya sunrise sundowning in the Oval Office actually making their dreams come true.
That might be just the edge we need to at least squeak by in 2024. Of course, with the CIA, DOJ, the flag officer corps and JCS and the rest of the Deep State on their side, it's going to be a very long hot summer, perhaps extending well into autumn and, God forbid, beyond.
Have a good weekend.

The Democrats are already facing a critical election in which they must run a deeply unpopular dementia patient against a former president who maintains a strong base of support despite being hit with an endless barrage of fake criminal charges. The very last thing the left wanted was a civil war on college campuses that exposed the disastrous contradictions at the heart of its coalition.
The only thing that could possibly rescue the Democrats from this nightmare scenario would be footage of Republican governors sending in police to violently silence protesters. This would bail out the establishment and allow mainstream liberals to put the woke vanguard in its place while pointing at the GOP as the real enemy, a unifying symbol of authority to hate.
I know the gut instinct of the right is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but the GOP must sit on its hands and let this play out.

It’s common knowledge that early treatment of COVID-19 is crucial for effective results. The earlier the treatment starts, the more effective it is. These approved antivirals for COVID-19 are used shortly after COVID-19 infection and usually within a few days after symptom onset.

Five West Virginia middle schoolers who protested a transgender athlete’s participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future meets — prompting the state attorney general to ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in on transgender student-athlete bans for a second time.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the dissenting students’ behalf after they were blocked from upcoming meets following their protests at the April 18 shot put competition, West Virginia Watch reported.
Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn before refusing to throw in the event, which was won by Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old girl who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy.
While West Virginia law bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams, a recent federal appeals court ruled that the law couldn’t lawfully be applied to the eighth-grader.
So these girls refused to compete against the boy (And good for them, we need more of that), and now they've been banned from sports. There's a lot of resentment building out there, it's not going to be pretty when it breaks.

French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed his position that the possibility of sending ground troops into Ukraine cannot be ruled out. "I'm not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out," Macron said in an interview with The Economist published Thursday. He added that if Russia was to "break through the front lines" in Ukraine and Kyiv requested troops, "we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question." Macron's comments double down on remarks he made in February in which he said the deployment of Western troops in Ukraine could not be "ruled out," which prompted a direct warning from Moscow's Defense Ministry.

The pro-Hamas demonstrations at UCLA have been violent, much more so than on other campuses. At times it can most accurately be described as riots that have broken out. It's inexcusable that the police were not brought in after the riot on Tuesday, which injured more than 20 people.
UCLA has been slow to respond to the escalating violence. On Tuesday the university declared the encampment unlawful. The protesters chanted "KKK" at police who monitored the activity on campus. The Hamas supporters yelled that they were not afraid of the police. They planned to fight back.
There were reports on Wednesday that Jewish students began fighting back. Maybe that is what led up to the police moving in on the encampment. The university had to finally act. Outside agitators have been blamed for some of the violence.
Protesters liked arms and made a line to keep the police away from the tents in the encampment. Faculty members and university staff joined the students in their demonstration.
An overwhelming show of force by police arrived to deal with the situation. As we have seen with other demonstrations, it's the only way to get the job done. The demonstrators have no respect for law enforcement. As I watch what is unfolding, LAPD is arresting protesters one by one. They are being handcuffed with zip ties and led away. It's mostly peaceful and calm.
Many protesters are wearing hard hats and protective goggles. They sprayed police with fire extinguishers. Police essentially corralled the protestors, many into the library, to keep order and make arrests easier.
At UCLA, protesters -- a lot of woke women here -- cry and even hyperventilate as they're arrested. They especially don't like the police taking off their dirty masks for the cameras.
The White House Now Sends a Phalanx of Aids to Surround Biden When He Walks, To Screen Biden's Shuffling, Stumbling Gait from the American Voters
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The truth (that Biden is feeble and dying) is always accompanied by a bodyguard of lies (his White House protectors and puppeteers).
Via Twitchy, this report from Axios, aka Politico for Kidz:
President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides.
Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and the press' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait, Axios' Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson report.
Some Biden advisers have told Axios they're concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone -- especially across the grass -- have highlighted his age.
Weeks ago, the president told aides that he'd prefer a less formal approach, a White House official told Axios. He suggested that they walk with him.
White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden's walk routine beginning in mid-April, after more than three years in which he'd typically walked solo.
I completely missed this. The NY Post has been all over it:
Why It Matters: Because it's going to be hilarious when Biden falls again.
HAPPENING NOW: President Biden returns back to the White House.
Aides and staffers seemingly wait for him to get off Marine One before heading inside.
This appears to be the new strategy the admin is taking in order for Biden to avoid questions and distract from age concerns. pic.twitter.com/gPqs1psTsj
Surrounding him with subordinates is also meant to subliminally communicate that he's a big important guy who's totally in charge (of these eight people acting as human shields). Whether crap like that works, I don't know.
It probably does work. Because people are f*cking stupid.
Six months ahead of the November election, former President Donald Trump is leading Democrat incumbent Joe Biden by a whopping 15 points in Michigan, a key swing state. According to a Kaplan Strategies survey, the former president polled 51 percent to 36 percent in the battleground state. The margin of error for the survey was plus/minus 3.5 percentage points.
Is this a sign of something? Nah. It's an outlier. No other poll shows such a blow-out race. Every other poll has it close in Michigan.
Other polls have also shown varying results for Michigan. An Emerson College/The Hill poll released earlier this week indicated Biden trailing Trump marginally in Michigan (44 percent to 45 percent), while a Bloomberg News and Morning Consult poll suggested Biden ahead of Trump (47 percent to 45 percent).
Of course, to be close in Michigan is a coup for a Republican...
Also, it's worth pointing out that outlier polls exist. When Marist or MSNBC trumpets a poll showing Biden with a narrow lead in national polling, remember, this Kaplan poll has Trump up by 15 points. There is no #BelieveAllPolls movement. Some are just wrong.
And I repeat: Trump always gets more votes than his polls suggest. There are a lot of shy -- or browbeaten -- Trump voters who won't tell pollsters they're voting for the Bad Orange Man.
The latest Emerson College/The Hill poll reveals that former President Donald Trump holds a slight edge over President Joe Biden in all seven key swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Key Details:
Trump leads Biden by four points in Arizona, three points in Georgia, one point in Michigan, one point in Nevada, five points in North Carolina, and two points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Independent voters favor Trump over Biden in five of the seven states, with Biden leading among independents in Georgia and Wisconsin.
Emerson College/The Hill also included polling of key Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania, with Republican candidates Kari Lake and David McCormick steadily gaining over their Democratic opponents in their respective states.
This poll has a lot of bad news for Biden. Although abortion gives Biden a lift, he's behind on the issue of the economy, and the increasingly-salient question of whether he or Biden had a successful presidency.
Voters rating the current economy vs. the economy as they remembered it under the Bad Orange Man:
In 2020, voters said that Biden "understood voters like us." Now that has flipped and Trump has the edge on the issue:
In Pennsylvania, near-majorities say they'd be better off financially under Trump, and worse off financially under Brandon:
This is another poll that finds that Trump does better when RFKJr. is not named as an option -- in other words, Kennedy is pulling more from Trump than Biden.
In Michigan, with the presence of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. the net gap between Mr. Biden and Trump is the same, but Kennedy looks like he's drawing more interest from the kinds of voters backing Trump than backing Mr. Biden.
Most of those picking Kennedy in a four-way ballot test backed Trump initially in a two-way race with Mr. Biden, including leaners.
This is a problem for Trump. Trump's core voters are a mix of conservatives and old-school blue-collar Kennedy-era disaffected Democrats. With an actual Kennedy in a race, some of those voters defect.

On Wednesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused to say whether he will prosecute the pro-Palestinian rioters who broke into and took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.
Bragg is currently prosecuting Donald Trump for an alleged campaign finance violation that is normally tried as a misdemeanor offense and would normally result in a fine as a felony. In addition to elevating the misdemeanor offense to a felony, the statute of limitations on the alleged crime had passed. On top of that, nondisclosure agreements are not illegal.
Despite Bragg's overzealousness to go after Trump, he was unresponsive to inquiries from the Daily Caller regarding potential charges for pro-Palestinian rioters arrested on Tuesday. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 rioters at Columbia University on Tuesday evening, as well as 173 at a City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students also took over an administrative building.
"Given his track record and the political nature of the events, I would be surprised if the Manhattan District Attorney's Office prosecuted the charges in a serious manner," Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson told the Daily Caller. "The charges are likely to be dropped against most perpetrators, and drastically reduced for others under an agreement that would see the charges eventually expunged."
Biden finally spoke up about the antisemitic protests on Democrat plantation colleges.

BREAKING: CIA Operates Troll Farms in Kyiv to Influence American Voters and To Assure Biden's 2024 Win.
A former employee of one of the Kyiv troll factories owned by the head of Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak, spoke about how the interference in the upcoming American elections is taking place in Ukraine with the help of the CIA. According to the source, the purpose of the interference is to ensure Biden's victory over Trump. A former employee showed a video taken inside a troll factory, as well as several photos, guidelines and a list of accounts that trolls use to influence the American voters.
"Long story short we were asked to do everything to prevent Donald Trump from winning the elections. So basically, this topic was added to our main lines of work.
Since then, each of us had to post at least 3 to 5 posts daily posing as the Americas and Europeans, criticizing Donald Trump and praising Biden.
The Americans have even organized a few lectures for us to get a better understanding of American politics, the American mindset the main social and political issues.
Then we were occupied with the topics for the job which sounded like this:
1.Unlike Trump, Biden is a smart and experienced politician.
2. Unlike Trump, Biden will never betray NATO partners. Trump will alienate our partners.
3. Biden will not abandon Ukraine. Biden will protect democracy, while Trump is Putin's puppet.
I honestly tried to convince myself it's Okay since Biden is clearly a better option for Ukraine, but it was just too much for me... One thing is to work for the best interests of my country, but interfering in US politics is a whole other thing."
The Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at UNC Protected the American Flag from Anti-American, Pro-Terrorist Activists. People Have Sent Them Almost $400,000 for a Party.
UNC fraternity brothers seen protecting U.S. flag in viral photo raise $384k for "the party they deserve"
Quick Hit:
A group of fraternity brothers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) have raised over $384,000 after a viral photo showed them protecting the U.S. flag during a protest. The funds, raised through a GoFundMe campaign, are intended to throw the fraternity "the party they deserve."
Key Details:
The fraternity brothers, members of Pi Kappa Phi, intervened when Palestinian protestors attempted to replace the U.S. flag with a Palestinian one.
Their actions were captured in a viral photo, leading to a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $384,000.
The funds are intended to throw the fraternity brothers a party, as a reward for their actions.
The GoFundMe is pretty funny:

How have America's universities become hotbeds of rabid Islamist rhetoric, foaming-at-the-mouth Jew-hate, and flat-out anti-American insanity?
It's simple. It was purchased with Arab money. Oh, Academia was primed for that sort of crap, since those beliefs are its default, but for a long time was some rough balance. Academia actually had a vibrant, if small conservative/libertarian presence. They also had brains, so their influence was out of proportion to their numbers.
But oceans of oil money began to flood the hallowed halls of our elite (and not so elite) institutions. It paid for endowed chairs for anti-American and anti-Israel professors. It paid for embedded Islamic Studies departments. It paid for university-affiliated NGOs carefully putting forth the pro-Islam/anti-West cant. And it paid for full-fare students from those oil-rich countries, plumping the coffers of these schools with cash that had a catch.
That catch was simple. Make Islam and the savage authoritarians in the Arab world objects of admiration rather than disgust. The Emir of Qatar isn't funding classes examining the vile treatment of women in the Muslim world, or the regular, state-sponsored murder of homosexuals, or the destruction of Jewish minorities within many of those countries. And of course some of that funding went to call into question the legitimacy of the state of Israel by framing the "Palestinian Question" as the pinnacle of post-modern victim-hood.
So a generation of mush-brained undergraduates were taught to see the savage terrorists of Gaza and the West Bank as Jeffersonian freedom-lovers whose highest aspirations were to live in peace and harmony on the land that was stolen from them by those pesky Jews.
The significance of these campus insurrections is far greater than support for Hamas or even murderous hatred of the Jewish world. The universities have become ground zero for the Muslim Brotherhood's strategy of Islamising the west.
And that's the whole point. Military invasion is out of the question, because Islam was long ago overwhelmed by the West's military and technological might. Muslim countries are consumers of Western modernity, and simply cannot compete.
But they can take advantage of the West's abject stupidity and ignorance of the foundations of Islam, and its singular focus on conquest and destruction of the West.
In CJN's latest podcast, Michael Walsh made the obvious but almost universally ignored point that we should believe Islam when it speaks of the destruction of the West!
Well, here's something the Irish and the Jews have in common, but yet we still haven't learned the lesson, because we're both stupid, which is if somebody says, "I hate you and I want to kill you," believe them.
There it is! Islam doesn't even bother to pretend. It is in the charters of all of their innumerable terrorist organizations; it is in their holy books; it is in their sermons.
Until we admit that Islam is a malign influence...until we admit that their 1,400 year war against all unbelievers is alive and well...until we fight back...we will continue to lose.
And right now, ground zero of that war is on our college campuses!
Good morning, kids. "All enemies, foreign and domestic." Boy have we got them. In spades. I would say that ironically, the coordinated fake campus "protests" which are completely bought and paid for organized pogroms/riots ostensibly to distract the electorate from the abject disaster that has been the Biden junta, but likely just plain old Jew- and America-hatred, is perhaps unifying a whole lot of disparate groups that may or may not consider themselves of the left in absolute revulsion.
Pro-"Palestinian" protesters and counter-protesters at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa united to show their displeasure with [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden. Video footage posted to X showed protesters on both sides chanting, “Fuck Joe Biden.”
Who said the country is disunited? In all seriousness, we've never been more divided and dare I say it more bitterly and absolutely divided than ever. Lincoln's famous quoting of Scripture that "A house divided against itself cannot stand" applies not only in the macro, but also in the micro. By that I mean the coalition of disparate grievance groups under the aegis of the Democrat banner which, despite the destruction they have wrought against the nation they are a part of yet hate with a passion – which to this point has served the Democrats' will to power quite well – evidently has come to its inevitable crisis point at which the rivalries and stratification of who is the most aggrieved, seems to be coming to the point of collapsing their whole house of cards on top of them.
On top of everything that has soured all but the truest of true Marxist believers on the Democrats, this eruption of anti-Semitism could be the straw that breaks the Kamala's back. The next six months are going to perhaps be the most perilous in our history, and certainly in our own lifetimes. The Demorcat-Left might very well be collapsing in on itself but like a certain Viennese housepainter, the Gotterdammerung order is surely in effect. They'll take us down with them if they have to.
A University of Tehran professor said in an interview that Iran likes seeing protests on US college campuses, adding those are their supporters if there is ever a conflict between the two countries.
Professor Foad Izadi, who, according to the University of Southern California Center on Public Diplomacy, earned his master’s degree from the University of Houston, was seen in a video published to social media and translated by MEMRI.org, being interviewed about the protests in the US.
“Sooner or later, this kind of support for the Zionist regime by the American regime will diminish. It might not stop completely, but its diminishing is important,” he said in the MEMRI video. “This is why the demonstrations [on US campuses] are important.”
Izadi spoke as a member of the Islamic Republic, and oftentimes said, “we,” referring to him and the republic.“We are watching the demonstrations and like what we see, but it should not end with this,” Izadi said. “If not for the Islamic Republic, the case of the Palestinian idea would have been closed years ago. The idea of resistance belongs to Iran, but on the operational level, when it comes to recruiting connections and building networks, the [Iranian] state has not been involved in a sufficient level.
“These (American students) are our people,” he continued. “If tensions between America and Iran rise tomorrow or the day after, these are the people who will have to take to the streets to support Iran.”
In the wake of Israel's total thwarting of Iran's attempted mass aerial attack the other week, and perhaps its imminent final assault on Hamas' last redoubt in Rafah, a little asymmetric warfare over here could be just what the mullahs are contemplating. I'd say, they have agents already here courtesy of the non-existent border, but this goat-boffing savage is correct; who needs them when our own home-grown micturating matriculating Marxists are willing and eager to do some Jew-bashing and firebombing of power stations for them?
Federal law enforcement officials have arrested a man from Uzbekistan who is an alleged member of the ISIS terrorist organization and who has been living in the U.S. for the last two years while applying for asylum. . .
. . . Attoev crossed the border in Arizona in February 2022, was apprehended by Border Patrol, and claimed he was an asylum seeker, the report said.
Officials claim that they could not find any “derogatory information” on him so they released him into the U.S. with a court date. “Then, in May 2023, Uzbekistan put out an international notice that Attoev was wanted in his home country for his alleged affiliation with ISIS,” the report said. “But it was not until March 2024, almost a year later, when the U.S. government was reviewing Attoev’s application for asylum, that officials discovered the notice from Uzbekistan and connected it with the man living in Maryland.”
. . . Numerous federal law enforcement officials told the publication that the case was the perfect example of how dangerous the immigration and asylum system is in the U.S. because it takes authorities a long time to follow-up on those who have already crossed into the U.S. — usually illegally.
Enemies foreign and domestic. Here we have a foreign enemy who could not have breached our defenses had our #1 domestic enemy Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and those pulling his strings had not opened the gates wide open for him. If you think he's a one-off, think again. That goes for Biden, too.
One of the ten protestors arrested was a 39-year-old man named Atah Othman, who was caught with a gun on his person during the protest. Given what we have seen as these college kids grow more unhinged in their protests, it was quite likely Othman would have opened fire at some point had police not intervened when they did. . .
. . . when your little minions are openly talking about bringing weapons to the protest, it's not a protest anymore. Besides, what was a 39-year-old man doing at this protest anyway? Even more worrying, he got out on bond. Granted, it is still too early to jump to conclusions about who Othman is. But the fact that he was armed and other people were talking about bringing weapons means that what I said yesterday about flat-out pogroms occurring right here in America could very well happen.

Don't believe me? Fox 7 reported that after Travis County police cleared out the University of Texas in Austin and arrested 80 people, they uncovered stashes of guns (yes, guns), chains, mallets, and bricks around the encampment. Furthermore, 45 of those arrested were not in any way affiliated with the Longhorns, either as students, faculty, or staff. . .
The question, then, is who is behind this frenzy of antisemitism we've seen on college campuses these past couple of weeks?
While I am not discounting these protests being the end result of colleges breeding indoctrinated leftist morons who come back to bite them in their collective hindquarters, nothing about them seems to have formed organically. Someone has to be buying and setting up these fancy tents (North Face ain't cheap, you know) and providing these weapons.
. . . By the way, did you also see that one of the people at the Columbia protest was Nahla Al-Arian, wife of Sami Al-Arian, who was busted way back in 2005 for raising money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad? Things that make you wonder.
Atah Othman is not exactly a Scots-Irish name, now is it? And recall the pallets of bricks left at strategic locations in the middle of the night in business districts all over the nation during the 2020 summer of mostly peaceful Burning Looting and Murdering.
Bragg, who is currently prosecuting the case against former President Donald Trump, did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation asking whether pro-Palestinian protestors arrested on Tuesday would be charged. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 protestors at Columbia on Tuesday night, along with 173 protestors at the separate City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students occupied an administration building.
“Given his track record and the political nature of the events, I would be surprised if the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the charges in a serious manner,” Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson told the DCNF. “The charges are likely to be dropped against most perpetrators, and drastically reduced for others under an agreement that would see the charges eventually expunged.”
Yet Daniel Penny is awaiting trial for accidentally causing the death of a psycho on the subway who was threatening fellow passengers with violence. Yeah, Penny's got to burn. As does Trump. Same deal with the Jewish students and their defenders at the attempted pogrom at UCLA. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom will throw the book at them, for the heinous crime of self-defense while being Jewish, which cannot go unpunished!
The Stanford University teaching assistant who was caught on tape calling for [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden’s assassination and praising Hamas is now naming and shaming the students he says recorded his remarks and reported him to the administration.
Hamza El Boudali, who in January told Jewish students in his computer science section that they would be treated "very well" by a Hamas caliphate, on Wednesday posted a thread on X with the names and headshots of students who "illegally recorded and doxxed" him "in clear violation" of Stanford’s code of conduct. It is not clear which provision of the code he is referencing.
. . . More recently, a masked individual at Stanford’s pro-"Palestinian" encampment was spotted wearing a Hamas headband. The university announced on Tuesday that it had forwarded a photo of the individual to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Hamza, Hamas, Hazmat. Pfft. The FBI will get right on that. Just as soon as they can identify anyone within 10 miles of the Capitol on 1/6/21 who might have been wearing a MAGA hat. Or anyone silently praying within 1,000 parsecs of an abortion mill, or someone complaining about a drag queen exposing his junk in the women's locker room at Planet Fitness.
You can threaten to assassinate Joey Rutabaga and nothing will be done. Because Heaven forfend they stay home in Dearbornistan this November!
Yesterday, I stated we should take to heart the leftist bromide that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Today, maybe we should take a second look – from our perspective – at "No Justice, No Peace."
It may yet come down to that, God help us.

Woman Charged With Sexual Battery For Pulling Teen's Skirt In Restaurant
A Utah woman is facing charges of sexual battery after she allegedly assaulted a teenager at a steakhouse in St. George. A viral video on TikTok showed the woman, identified as 48-year-old Ida Ann Lorenzo, arguing with the 19-year-old and her group of friends in the lobby of Sakura Japanese Steakhouse over the length of her skirt.
Lorenzo, who claimed to be a government employee, threatened to call Child Protective Services on the teen because her skirt was too short. She claimed she could see the woman's asscheeks and pubic hair.
The teen's friends then point out that she's 19.
Lorenzo called the police and told the dispatcher that the teen's skirt was "hiked above her vagina and butt." During the call, she admitted to pulling down the teen's skirt because there were children present, and the restaurant staff failed to do anything.

The homeless man accused of fatally shoving Michelle Go into an oncoming subway train in Times Square exploded in Manhattan court Tuesday -- after prosecutors argued he has been deemed mentally fit to stand trial.
Martial Simon -- who was locked up at a maximum-security state psychiatric facility on Wards Island two years ago -- has since passed a mental health evaluation and can now face murder charges in the January 2022 slaying that shook the city, prosecutors said in Manhattan Supreme Court.
But Simon, 63, couldn't keep his cool during the brief hearing, trying to address Judge Althea Drysdale before snapping "Who are you f--king motherf--ks? God I hate you" as court officers hauled him away.
His defense attorney said the troubled vagrant is still experiencing delusions, including believing aliens will come to "save" him because he is a "supernatural" being.
"He remains in strong belief that the space ships will come and save him as he is supernatural," lawyer Mitchell Schuman told the judge, citing a staff report from the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center on March 27 -- just a week before prosecutors wrapped up their mental evaluation.
The woman he threw in front of a subway had both of her legs amputated by the train's steel wheels. AOC couldn't be prouder. Whoops, no, my mistake: He's not responsible for cutting off the legs of his victim. In his case, the victim was simply killed.
It's hard to keep track of all the women being thrown in front of trains by mentally insane homeless killers released into society for the sake of the deadly decarceration agenda.
On Friday, a Nashville man who had been charged with 105 offenses since 2007 was arrested yet again, this time in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a female Amazon delivery driver.
The suspect, 34-year-old Carl Jerome Hamilton, was subsequently hit with charges of aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, and robbery.
According to WKRN, the incident took place around 4 am on the 700 block of President Ronald Reagan Way. The 25-year-old victim, whose identity has not been made public, was delivering packages in the mail room of an apartment building when Hamilton allegedly entered and shut the door behind him. He then allegedly forced her to take off her clothes and sexually assaulted her.
After that, Hamilton demanded the victim get in her delivery van and drive him to a nearby ATM on Murfreesboro Pike. Once there, she withdrew $100 via her debit card. He then drove her around for another hour or so before leaving her and her vehicle and fleeing.
...
This is not the first time Hamilton has been charged with kidnapping and robbery. In 2020, he was taken in after allegedly attacking a 24-year-old woman, and subsequently convicted. In 2022, he was sentenced to six years in prison, but got out early.
"You would think somewhere along the way, he would have been held accountable," Police Chief John Drake said, per FOX17. "It would still have been a little harsher probation. Maybe some wraparound services if he was mentally incompetent or had some issues or spending more time incarcerated."
The wife of an ex-college professor convicted of terrorism-related charges was spotted hanging out at Columbia University's encampment prior to the dramatic NYPD raid where cops busted 109 people Tuesday night.
Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday blamed "outside agitators" for the campus chaos, saying cops had identified individuals who weren't Columbia students among the protesters.
While he refused to offer up names, Hizzoner told MSNBC during a media blitz that "one of the individual's husband was arrested for and convicted for terrorism on a federal level."
"One of them was married to someone that was arrested for terrorism," he later reiterated during a follow-up interview on CBS.
Sami Al-Arian -- who pleaded guilty in 2005 to fundraising and other support for the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad -- had earlier boasted on social media that his wife, Nahla, was among those who joined anti-Israel protesters at the Ivy League campus last week.
Al-Arian, who was deported from the US in 2015 after serving time, shared a photo of his wife smiling and sitting alone among the tents.
Police later clarified Nahla Al-Arian was only on the Morningside Heights campus last week and was not among the pro-terror mob that broke into an academic building early Tuesday and occupied it for nearly 24 hours before cops were given the green light to storm in and make arrests.
A Jewish law student at the University of California, Berkeley, was allegedly punched in the face by an anti-Israel protester on campus, according to wild new footage.
Viral video of the incident shows the moment Noah Cohen, a UC Berkeley School of Law student, is trying to film the anti-Israeli protest on campus when he's confronted by a demonstrator blocking the path, according to the footage uploaded by The Jewish News of Northern California editor Gabe Stutman.
"Where you headed, man," the woman asks as she stands in Cohen's way.
"Jay, you can't do this," the frustrated law student replies.
"Yes, I absolutely can," she answers.
"I'm going to go to the police station then," Cohen says before the woman runs up to him and appears to try and grab him.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Do not touch me," Cohen warns. "Do not put your hands on me."
As she continues to stand in Cohen's way, the two appear to get into a scuffle as the law student yells at her to get away before suddenly falling back.
"Jesus christ! You just punched me in the face," Cohen remarks as he gets up. "You can't punch people."
Following the incident, Cohen blasted the anti-Israel encampment on campus as one that touts itself as a non-violent protest until their demands aren't met.
On Tuesday night, Columbia University released a statement after calling the New York Police Department to arrest pro-Hamas activists who "occupied, vandalized and blockaded" one of the buildings on campus, which revealed that "the group that broke into and occupied the building is led by individuals who are not affiliated with the University." Over 100 people were arrested at Columbia.
...
It was previously revealed that the activists who are part of the almost 2-week occupation of the campus were being led by outside agitators who are not students. According to the statement, "We believe that the group that broke into and occupied the building is led by individuals who are not affiliated with the University."
...
In a statement, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said "young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children."
Antifa recruits people with clean records to break the law. The idea is that these people won't get jail time for their first offense.
It could be that in this case, the leftwing organizers recruited outsiders to make up most of the force occupying Hamilton Hall, as non-students are of course immune from the university's threat to suspend or expel them.
A protester at Columbia University's occupied Hamilton Hall expressed some measure of regret upon seeing NYPD officers approaching their location. As officers prepared to break into the building, blockaded by student protesters as well as what school administrators called outside agitators, the student called out "f*ck you, it's finals! Can I go home?"
After clearing the campus of pro-terrorist colonizers, the NYPD raised the, get this, American flag over the Communist College of NY. I mean, the City College.
Biden Is Considering Letting in, Get This, Terrorist-Sympathizing Gazas as "Refugees;" DeSantis Objects, Pointing Out The Fact That Palestinians Bring Their 1000-Year-Old "Blood Feud" Wherever They Go
Jordan and Egypt refuse to take them, because they know they're trouble and immediately begin agitating for war wherever they go.
But of course Biden will throw open the the US to them.
The Biden administration is considering welcoming certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees as they seek to escape war-torn Gaza amid the ongoing war in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.
Senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed in recent weeks the details of potential options to accept Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent U.S. residents, internal federal government documents show, according to CBS News.
One proposal involves using the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to bring Palestinians with U.S. connections who have escaped Gaza and entered neighboring Egypt, the documents reveal.
U.S. officials have also considered welcoming additional Palestinians out of Gaza and are processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, according to the documents. This proposal would have to rely on coordination with Egypt, which has thus far been reluctant to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.
People from Gaza who pass a series of eligibility, medical and security screenings would qualify to be flown to the U.S. with refugee status, which includes permanent residency, resettlement benefits like housing assistance and a path to American citizenship.
The number of people eligible is expected to be relatively small, but the proposed plans could provide a lifeline to some Palestinians seeking to escape the Israel-Hamas war.
Sure. We expect the numbers to be "small." And then, when it's ten thousand more immigrants, they'll just say "oopsie!"
This, as the Hamas-run government's Health Ministry estimates more than 34,000 dead, more than 77,000 injured and hundreds of thousands of civilians displaced in Gaza.
Fox is citing the Hamas Health Ministry for casualty figures. I guess we should be grateful they at least noted, in passing, that Hamas controls the Ministry and its Fake Numbers Division.
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday bashed President Joe Biden and his administration for accepting Palestinian refugees from the war-torn Gaza Strip. "There was a report out that Joe Biden is contemplating importing a bunch of Palestinian Arabs from the Gaza Strip into the United States of America. And I didn't even think Biden was crazy enough to do this," DeSantis said during a Hardee County press conference.
...
DeSantis has been increasing his rhetoric in recent weeks against Palestinians in Gaza and protesters who sympathize with them, equating the population in Gaza, which is reportedly nearly half children, with the Hamas militant organization that governs it. (Hamas has been designated a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department since 1997.)
70+% of Gazans support Hamas in polls.
Nice try, Miami Herald.
On Wednesday, for instance, DeSantis said that to help Palestinians in Gaza relocate to the United States would mean importing "blood feuds to this country." He evoked reports of rapes and executions during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, and referenced an account from an Israeli first responder that a baby was found in an oven.
In response, Samir Kakli, the president of the South Florida Muslim Federation, said in a statement to the Herald/Times that DeSantis' rhetoric was fanning "the flames of hatred against Arabs and Muslims." "Dehumanization of Palestinian lives must stop -- this is not an American value," said Kakli.
Gotta luv Florida under @GovRonDeSantis .. at 4:50 pm, police told Hamas supporters that they had 15 minutes to leave peacefully.. by 5:15 pm, policies started making arrests.
This is how you handle lawlessness of Hamas supporters.
Not sure how many of those arrested were students, but if they were students, they should be expelled.
The U.S. economy is showing signs of stagflation as growth slumps down and prices continue to surge for average Americans, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
U.S. annual economic growth measured just 1.6% in the first quarter of 2024, following a report of persistently high inflation in March of 3.5% year-over-year. The combination of both low growth and high inflation, in conjunction with continuously high amounts of government spending and debt, has led to signs of stagflation in the U.S. economy, which wreaked havoc on U.S. consumers throughout the 1970's, according to experts who spoke to the DCNF.
"It's not so much that we risk stagflation as we're already there," E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the DCNF. "We have basically pulled forward trillions of dollars of economic growth by borrowing from the future, but that must be repaid at some point. And it is highly inefficient as well."
Stagflation is a unique economic phenomenon that involves slow growth, high unemployment, and elevated inflation and is particularly difficult to address as solutions for one issue can exacerbate the others, according to Investopedia. The most notable example of stagflation occurred in the 1970's, after an oil crisis.
Welcome Back Carter.
The U.S. national debt climbed above $34 trillion for the first time at the start of 2024 and currently sits at nearly $34.6 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. The national debt has increased by around $6.8 trillion since President Joe Biden first took office in January 2021.
"Stagflation is the inevitable result of Bidenomics," Michael Faulkender, chief economist at the America First Policy Institute, told the DCNF. "When you massively increase spending, whether green subsidies or student loan forgiveness, while simultaneously reducing the ability of the economy to produce because of all the regulatory restrictions being imposed, you get reductions in growth with higher prices. If Bidenomics continues, then we should expect stagflation to continue."
Biden has made high-spending policies part of his broader agenda, signing the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March 2021 and the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in November 2021. The president also signed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022, which authorized $750 billion in new spending, with $370 billion of that dedicated to green initiatives to combat climate change.
The Biden administration's latest plan to forgive student loans would cost an estimated $559 billion over the next ten years through various loan cancellations and interest suspensions. The president had one of his previous, more costly plans to forgive student loans struck down by the Supreme Court in June 2023.
A clear majority of US voters say that border security is the most important thing for Congress to work on with a little more than six months to go before next year's election.
Nearly six in 10 voters (57%) say that "border reform legislation" is "more important" than "all other things Congress could be working on," according to a poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies and Americans for Prosperity released Monday.
A plurality of voters (42%) said they were most in favor of a hypothetical policy to "secure our border and ports," while another 36% said they most wanted to establish "clear and predictable rules and laws for our immigration system.
A resurfaced clip of Robert F. Kennedy during a 2005 IdeaCity speech shows Kennedy stating that "red state people are more likely to murder you." The clip which adds to resurfaced praise of former President Barack Obama's presidency and labeling of voter ID as "racially rancid," come amid the "Independent" presidential candidate making frequent appearances on conservative media, raising questions about accountability for his deeply liberal record.
Key Details:
Past Remarks: Kennedy, in a 2005 speech, characterized red state residents as morally inferior, linking them with higher incidences of crime and other social issues.
Conservative Appearances: Despite his controversial views, Kennedy has become a regular on conservative media platforms, interviewed by figures like Ben Shapiro and Glenn Beck.
Media Accountability: Conservative outlets have been critiqued for not challenging Kennedy on his historically liberal positions, including his opposition to the NRA and support for high taxes.
Diving Deeper:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s strategy of engaging with conservative media contrasts sharply with his past and present liberal ideologies. His 2005 speech, where he made disparaging remarks about "red state" people, and his ongoing criticism of conservative policies, like his labeling of voter ID laws as "racially rancid," have not been thoroughly addressed in his recent media appearances.
This oversight by conservative media to confront Kennedy on his record is perplexing, given his advocacy for policies that are antithetical to conservative values, such as a 70% tax bracket and the elimination of gas-powered engines. Chris LaCivita, co-campaign manager for Donald Trump, expressed frustration to Politico, highlighting the contradiction in giving Kennedy a platform: "It is concerning and beyond logic that there are some conservative platforms that continue to give a voice to someone... who generally subscribes to the same school of thought as Karl Marx."

A Marist poll found that RFKJr. is pulling more support from Trump than from Biden. This poll, which seems like an outlier in putting Biden ahead of Trump, says that Biden is +3 in a head-to-head but rises to +5 in a multicandidate five-way race, suggesting that RFKJr. is pulling more support from Trump than from Biden.
No One is Above the Lore "We have imported alien, violent, dark-age cultures that work hand in hand with our own native-born tyrants to drag us back to an even darker age. Forever.

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Here I Am at Intifada: "Are we willing to do whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom? The other side has clearly demonstrated what it is willing to do, and is actively doing, to take it away. That requires self-preservation 'by any means necessary.' As Allen Ludden (or Bert Convy) might say, the password is Revolution. Contemplating such a thing is unfathomable.
