Even de Gaulle Couldn't Stop the French From Being French

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags, 

France is done.   One writer claimed France was in a slow-motion collapse, and my view is that France is doomed, and that doom is unstoppable, and they deserve it. It seems to me in all its history France has had only two great leaders. Charles Martel who saved Europe from the Muslim invasion, and Napoleon; and he was and Corsican Italian.

left-wing Unions are joining these rioters, for higher wages to cover rising costs, and yet don't have a clue what needs to e done to fix their rising costs.  

I have a three-part series on Europe’s looming fiscal collapse (see here, here, and here). Based on this data from Robin Brooks, the crisis will likely start in France (it’s a bad sign when the light blue line is above the dark line). So what should be done about this seemingly inevitable fiscal crisis?

The easy answer is not to repeat the mistakes of the past. More specifically, don’t bail out profligate governments. No bailouts from the IMF. No bailouts from Brussels. And no bailouts from the European Central Bank (ECB). As I wrote about Greece back in 2010, I think bankruptcy and default is a preferable approach. And, back in 2018, when I speculated that Italy would be the first debt domino, one of my recommendations was a no-bailout policy............

For what it’s worth, I issued the same warning back in 2011. Sadly, the current head of the ECB is both incompetent and statist, so I’m not very hopeful for a good outcome.  P.S. While the European Central Bank has a bad track record, let’s not overlook the pernicious role of the International Monetary Fund. If we want to stop bailouts, we have to worry about both the ECB and IMF.

And truth be told, it won't matter whether they get the bail outs or not, France is representative of the dangers of a massive socialist welfare state.   They're doomed economically, culturally, socially and ethnically as the native French population is on pace to become a minority by 2050 at current rates of migration.  I think that's going to happen whether they restrict immigration or not as Muslims are disproportionately out breeding ethnic Europeans.    

French Defeat - France—long the self-proclaimed guardian of high culture, of cathedrals and Cartesian clarity, of Enlightenment rationality and the moral vocabulary of Christian inheritance—now confronts scenes of disorder that would have been unthinkable to its earlier custodians. In the streets of its cities, young cohorts drawn largely from Muslim immigrant communities assert themselves with a confidence born of demographic momentum and ideological certainty.

 The response of the governing class under Emmanuel Macron has been a studied detachment—the sociological equivalent of what clinical psychiatry once termed belle indifference, the serene unconcern of the hysteric in the face of symptoms that disrupt ordinary life. This posture, cultivated since the retreat from North Africa, has allowed the progressive erosion of the nation’s historic cultural core while elites congratulated themselves on their openness and compassion toward the cultures of the world......

“Hard to imagine a more out of touch with reality speech than Macron at UN”.   Netanel Shukrun, a French citizen living in Israel, was recently murdered by a Hamas terrorist in Samaria before the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, only to have French President Macron show up at the UN and lied about Hamas not being in the West Bank. 

 President Emmanuel Macron showed up at the UN and rather than mentioning the murder of one of his citizens or any of the core issues France is suffering from, such as illegal mass migration, went on a rant about Israel, claiming that Israel was engaged in a “shameful spectacle” in Judea and Samaria, which he called the West Bank, and claiming that it was needless because Hamas was not active in the West Bank.  Not only was Macron lying, but Hamas has just murdered a French citizen and father of six in the West Bank.

Here's the level of violence going on in France the police can't control that's costing France million of dollars they don't have, overwhelming their justice system.  

  1. Left-Extremist Rioting Spreads to Brussels With Antifa Infiltration of Protests Blamed
  2. France Student Riots Have Cost $33 million, Resulted in Nearly 7,000 Arrests
  3. French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War
  4. France Street Violence Hits Record Levels with Multicultural Youth Revolts
  5. France’s Triple Crisis: Far-Left Riots, a Ticking Debt Bomb, and Mass Migration Collide
  6. French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War 
  7. France Street Violence Hits Record Levels with Multicultural Youth Revolt 
  8. Maréchal: Youth Riots the Result of ‘Unassimilated Immigration’ and a ‘Hatred of France’
  9. French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War 
  10. France Street Violence Hits Record Levels with Multicultural Youth Revolts 

This is a civil war and anyone who stands against the suicidal actions of the French government elite has to be punished, like this French military priest who called upon "men of faith to prevent the French people from being replaced", with the globalists running France calling his speech racist and seditious and implying he should be imprisoned for daring to state the obvious, along with any solider who agreed with him. But he isn't alone. 

In 2016, a highly decorated French General was stripped of his position for anti-mass-migration activism; in 2018, a group of ten generals, an admiral, and a former minister of defence broke ranks to call President Macron a ‘traitor’ for backing mass migration, and in 2021, another general spoke of the risk of “civil war”.
 
How do the people of France feel about all this and what they think needs to be done?  Almost Half of French Would Support Military Intervention to Restore Order:

49 per cent, of the French public would support the military intervening to restore order and safety in France, even without government orders to do so, according to a poll conducted by Harris Interactive.   The polling was released on Thursday in response to a letter signed by 20 former French generals and an estimated 1,000 former and active-duty military members who denounced growing insecurity and Islamism in France and warned of potential civil war and military intervention.........It also found that 74 per cent agreed that “anti-racism” activism had caused the opposite effect of what was expected.........

In a letter by Marine Le Pen she has "invited former military officials to join her movement after they signed a letter denouncing Islamism and rising crime and warned of potential civil war in France.  The letter, which was signed by 20 former generals, including the former Commandant of the French Foreign Legion Christian Piquemal, called on President Emmanuel Macron to defend patriotism in France"

Anti-government students and Antifa left wing extremists rioters originating in France have spread to Belgium, "sparking violent clashes with police in Brussels and Liège",  and one has to wonder how long before this spreads over all of western Europe.  

Well, we can stop wondering, as here's an update that appeared today, Yellow Vests Return as French Protests Spread and Macron’s Crisis Deepens, saying:

An uncomfortable reality is setting in for French elites: throwing more money at handouts and degrading services, on top of mass migration, has been a toxic progressive experiment that appears to be unraveling at the seams. As Macron and his globalist buddies lose control of France, unrest has spread to other corners of the bloc, including Spain, Italy, Albania, and Belgium.

I'm betting we're going to see a lot of ethnic Europeans begging to be allowed to immigrate to the U.S., and I'm willing to say ...... no!  In spite of all the warnings they snickered, snorted, sneered and looked down their self-righteous virtue signalling noses at those who issued those warnings.  We already have too many leftists losers that were born here, so let them live with the consequences.  Schadenfreude! 

 

Abdul El Sayed: Birds of a Feather Flock Together

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

The Democrat primaries pushed forward the most radical cast of candidates in history.  There's an old line that says, "birds of feather flock together",  and there's a lot of truth in that.  So very often you can tell who a what a person is by who their enemies are, along with who are their friends.  Hasan Piker is a far left anti-Semite who hates America, and can't seem to say that enough claiming America deserved 911 and is a terrorist nation far worse than Hamas.  And he's campaigning with and for El-Sayed, and he made it clear it was Abdul El-Sayed who asked him to be a part of his campaign.  Birds of a feather. 

Dem El-Sayed Whines Republican Mike Rogers Is Making Leftist Ally Hasan Piker’s ‘America Deserved 9/11’ Comments an Issue…Then Complains People Don’t Denounce Violent Rhetoric!

Leftist Abdul El-Sayed Ends Michigan Campaign at Detroit Pool Party with 9/11 Apologist Hasan Piker

Not only does El-Sayed have issues with Jewish voters, he's not been well received by black voters, and if you have any doubts regarding him being racist, try this:

 'Doctor' El-Sayed warned of the dangers of Arab-American interracial 'mating' in his so-called 'research' - Sometimes, people just know there's something 'off' about a candidate. Recent news reports have made much clear about Michigan's radical DSA-linked Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed having trouble drawing black voters in that state.  Now it comes out that he engaged in some pseudo 'research' that would have made Bull Connor blush:  El Sayed published a paper on the dangers of “interracial mating”??......She tied it to a longtime Arab prejudice against black people, linked to Arab development of the African slave trade. ......

So, we can't have his blatantly racist views effecting his electability.... so...... to the rescue ..... Obama jumped into the fray telling "the brothers"' to vote for El-Sayed.  Well, it gets better as ya just can't make this stuff up.  Obama is now promoting a man whose sister he once had put on a Terror Watchlist! And we're shocked at Obama's transition?   I just had a thought.  Is it possible Obama is a Muslim racist also? 

So, we shouldn't be shocked that it's being claimed that Abdul El-Sayed Is a globalist plant funded by George Soros.  "On a related note, prepare yourself..... This may come as a shock...... CAIR stands with Abdul El-Sayed too!" 

Where does he stand on issues?  It's claimed he's guilty of  of sexism.  He claims:

 .....these attacks on his character is evidence of a flailing Democratic establishment fearful of what could follow a decisive progressive win in a crucial swing state.  

He also says:

 It turns out, I don need you to like me, I need you to like you". 

 So, it's the same of meme, it's all someone else's fault. 

He's against Iron Dome Funding as he doesn't see any difference between offensive and defensive weapons.  Perhaps what he really doesn't see is any justification for Israel to defend itself against his terrorist supporters?  Just a guess mind you.  

On CNN he claimed he doesn’t support defunding police, which was such an obvious lie even CNN had to fact check him on that.  He also claims that denying illegal aliens drivers licenses is discrimination.  Why is that a bit deal?   In one state that refuses to determine eligibility an illegal alien voted because the state sent him a ballot based on having a driver's license.  

When being interviewed he often appears smart, and when it comes to red herring fallacies, he is.  But in reality, while he talks fast and looks smart, he's not smart, only clever, especially when being interviewed by leftist enablers. 

Under El-Sayed's leadership of the Detroit Animal Care and Control center, aka, Abdul’ El-Sayed’s Horrific 'dog slaughterhouse, "approximately 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized, with 1,056 dogs and 29 cats euthanized in the first full calendar year".

 Guess who has jumped up to defend him?  PETA defends El-Sayed's 'pet massacre'.   

It's also being reported that he served as an advisor to a Muslim medical firm accused of “exploiting medicare” in “scam”.  How involved was he with this scam?  If that  hasn't already been investigated, it needs investigation.   He's all in on Medicare for all, what it really means is Medicare fraud for all his friends.  As Daniel Greenfield notes:

Every single damn time.  I have spent a lot of time studying Islamic infrastructure in America and much of it was built by foreign doctors from Pakistan, Iraq and Abdul El-Sayed’s native Egypt who somehow built fortunes by exploiting our health insurance system. Scratch one of these operations and you find certain tells, multiple business names, companies spun off from the practices that contrive to milk Medicare and Medicaid, and focus on lucrative practice areas with populations that are elderly, young or in some way vulnerable.............I recently wrote about the story of a single ‘Palestinian’ from Gaza who racked up over half a billion in health care fraud. And now there are signs that Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for office on Medicare for All, is adjacent to some of the same kind of behavior.

 Editor's Note:  If you like this piece and would like to forward it to others, do it now, as it appears I have a personal censor at Blogger who doesn't like anything that tells the truth about Islam and deletes any of my commentaries that deal with it, which I protest .... over and over again.  RK

Toxic Feminism is The Plague

By Rich Kozlovich 

One of my favorite websites is American Thinker, which is free.  However, there's a subscription option and with that you get a weekly newsletter, which I think is usually outstanding.  One of my favorite writers is Olivia Murray, and her contribution to this week's newsletter, which can't be linked, is entitled,  Leftist women don't understand who their biggest enemy actually is, with this excellent cartoon depicting who these women are.

She goes on to note: 

It's not the "patriarchy" or "toxic masculinity" leftist women need to worry about. It's women like me who have had enough of their wickedness.......Of course, this is all on the heels of the Lindsay Clancy stuff, but I came across two "stories" (if you will) that really sent me into a raging, vengeful spiral. 
 
The first story that outraged her was entitled, "Abortion scheduled by pregnant woman after learning she was carrying a boy", and the story got 433,000 likes on TikTok.  Well, I'm outraged also.  I went to the site and I found it sickening and disgusting.   These are seriously demented people and I agree with her as she cites this story: 

One female commenter even claimed to have done the same thing with "each" of her own boys, before telling her husband she'd had miscarriages -- she then gloated about how he apparently, sympathetically paid for her to go to the spa for a time to convalesce. I really lack the words to describe this level of depravity, and my true thoughts on what I'd like to do to this woman are unpublishable.

The second story involved abusive treatment of young children:

.........mothers filming themselves being emotionally abusive and aggressive toward their very young children, out of nowhere, to see how the children responded....One mother threateningly threw her three children's lunch down in front of them on the table, making the dishes clatter, and her sweet little girl began to cry. Another mother did the same to her own daughter, who innocently and concernedly asked, Mommy, what's wrong? Another little boy flinched and shrank back when his mom slammed something down in front of his face. 

These women are seriously demented.  They're acting in ways that is entirely contrary to their natural instincts, proving ideology impairs not only intelligence, it impairs integrity, honor, compassion, love, and all the natural affection that exists between a parent and her child.  

Olivia goes on to say: 

Truly, these are textbook sadists. And they want to claim men are toxic and aggressive? .......Feminism has unleashed a demonic spirit among women. Mothers used to love their children. Now they are a bunch of serial killers............

I agree!

The Hollywood Derangement Syndrome

By Rich Kozlovich

Over recent years we've seen Hollywood celebrities come out and pontificate about things they know nothing about.  It's called virtue signaling, and it's not going to change because they live in an arrogant selfish cultural intellectual bubble that's devoid of knowledge, reality, and humility, and no deviation will be tolerated, and that's always been so.  

They currently have a serious infection of Trump Derangement Syndrome that slops over to smear conservatives, Christians, traditional Jews, Israel, and of course Republicans in general, spewing out vile invectives, lies and corruption of thought.  Robert De Niro exemplifies that definition, and he's not alone by any means.

Hollywood characters have a history of petty meanness.  Take Bette Davis and Joan Crawford for example, both of which were major Hollywood stars, and both of which were petty mean women.

A bitter rivalry existed between then that lasted for decades, which some blame on the harsh competition of the studio system, but based on their personal lives, it was based on a failure of character for both.  They deliberately attempted to upstage and embarrass each other, which normal people would have laughed off and moved on.  During their filming of , What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Joan Crawford, being married to the CEO of Pepsi, had cases of Pepsi delivered to the set for the crew.  Normal people would have viewed that as act of niceness.  Not Bette Davis. She retaliated by having a Coke machine installed on the set.  There was even a physical action by Bette Davis that required Crawford to get stitches.  

Historians keep trying to blame the system, the public, the studios and the men for their unacceptable behavior, but the fact was they were both mean, vain, selfish and spiteful women.  As one writer noted: 

Their flaws were not just creations of the studio publicity machines; they were deeply embedded in how they treated the people around them. The Personal Toll of Their Spite Beyond their professional rivalry, their mean streaks frequently bled into their personal and family lives:

They treated their children with same meanness and spite as they treated each other, both of whom disinherited their children.  The end of their lives were spent alone estranged from their children, still bitter and miserable.   

Charles de Gaulle once said even he couldn't keep the French from being French.  Well, truth be told given the base morality Hollywood has embraced from it's very beginning, no one can keep Hollywood from being Hollywood.  At least up until now.  AI may be able to fix Hollywood, because as time goes by more movies and shows will have AI generated characters, and a lot of "celebrities" will be back to parking cars, and waiting tables, instead of sharing their rude, crude, foolish and uninformed views on others and how the world should work.  

Does Hollywood suffer from the Trump Derangement Syndrome, or do they suffer from a derangement syndrome all their own?  Below are 40 links dealing with what I'm calling the Totalitarian State of Hollywood.   I'm using the world Hollywood as the representative term for the entire entertainment industry.

Hollywood lives in an intellectual and moral bubble filled with cognitive dissonance, easily disputed “facts” and logical fallacies. If these people really believe the things they’re saying, then they’re certifiable. The left not only redefines words to fit their obsession of the day, they make them up, and they’re so ambiguous so they can be redefined at any given time to their advantage.

Yeah, right!  I keep wondering why these people think anyone cares if they leave the nation? For some years it was the theme of Hollywood nitwits to demand the people not vote for Trump or they would leave America. Trump got elected and very few that promised to leave actually left, and those that did keep coming back. As for their views on reality…. delusion isn’t reality. I never liked Simon and Garfunkel and Garfunkel acted like an arrogant spoiled brat.   Nothing’s changed, so, leave …. please.

Why doesn’t he play to his audience by playing a gay, drug-addicted hustler desperately in love with a transsexual who supports Palestine? His woke cuckery undermines the tough guy image necessary to be seen as a true action star.

Culture is King, and Corruption is Queen

By Rich Kozlovich

I'm trying to clean up my draft files, and came across this piece with a series of linked articles that demonstrate the seriousness of America's cultural decline and the upsurge of irresponsible thinking and action.   

“Dear Dark Father”: Watch Midwest Town Council Open Meeting With “Hail Satan” Invocation  - The town council in a Midwestern American enclave, Ottumwa, Iowa, has opened its meeting with a petition to “Hail Satan,” and the resulting backlash triggered the council to shut down comments to its posted video.  The invocation included addressing “Dear dark father” as well as a rejection of “arcane doctrines.” It seeks to pursue ‘luciferian impulses to eat of the tree of knowledge.”......

Poll:4 in 10 young adults in U.S. have positive view of Islamic Sharia extremism - Law's penalties include chopping off hands, stoning, being thrown from buildings.   A series of polls has revealed that young adults, those ages 18-24, have a stunning perspective on Islam's Sharia laws, with 43% holding a "positive" view.  This would be the laws that advocate chopping hands off thieves, stoning those involved in adultery and tossing homosexuals off of buildings.....

Cultural appropriation about braided hair is back in the news  By Andrea Widburg| A white woman allegedly getting fired for wearing cornrows raises an important question: who do leftists think has the power to decide these things?

 The Depopulation Race: Why the Globalists Are Killing Us Before We Can Revolt ByOct. 5, 2026 - I have spent more than two decades documenting the systematic dismantling of human health, wealth and freedom, and what I see now is not a random cascade of crises. It is a race. The globalist class understands that its fiat currency system is terminal, that the debt pyramid cannot stand, and that the bail-ins, asset confiscations and savings wipeouts now being prepared will ignite a fury unlike anything the West has seen. Their solution is as old as tyranny itself: shrink the population before the people can organize and revolt.

America is Driven to Act by Guilt to Our Ruination Kelly O'Connell US Instincts Rooted in Socialist Guilt Trips;  Defending Blessing Illegals: Can America continue to bless overly generous funding for folks not able to apply as citizens that MAGA wants deported instead of rewarded? Today’s Leftist cadre demands stunning levels of generosity for new arrivals which is now progressive’s most common liberal refrain. But such incessant urging to embrace all illegal immigrants by offering them unlimited wealth and enviable govt programs are actually a perversion of the Founder’s vision. That’s why these charitable arguments have an apparently ancient legacy. But yet, despite their seeming old derivation, they offer only insanely modern presumptions and ruinous effects. This is because the argument is all based on guilt trips, which are neither Christian, nor classically American--but sheer Marxism.

College Football’s Friday Night Heist - The college game has Saturdays, bowls, playoffs, and billions. Leave Friday night to the kids.  Once upon a time in America, Friday nights in the fall were the sole domain of high school football.  It was a college game played in front of a crowd you could fit into a high school stadium.........  Some college games now are played on Friday that nobody requested, few attend, and the only beneficiaries are broadcast and streaming networks, which supplement those hefty collegiate athletic budgets.  The college game has hijacked high school football in the pursuit of yet another revenue stream......

College Football’s Latest Chaos: NFL Players Are Coming Back - Court rulings, NIL money, and LSU are testing the limits of eligibility.  College football has seen some recent bizarre plot twists that include the explosion of NIL monies, conference realignments, mega coaching buyouts and now a judge ruling that allows NFL players a path to return to college.......Why would a player even want to return to college? Simple: NIL money, playing time, and a second chance. Some players make more through NIL deals than they would on an NFL practice squad. Others want to rebuild their draft stock after injuries, bad evaluations, or getting buried on a depth chart. And for undrafted players, college can be the only place left to prove they belong.

How Boomers Can Save What’s Left Of America For Younger Generations - The Baby Boomers grew up in a completely different world than their children and grandchildren live in today. They need to know that and respond.......Are millennials and Gen Z better off than their parents?  In their childbearing and prime income years, boomers were born into a more unified culture, with much less competition from foreign markets and migrants, far more plentiful family-wage-earning jobs that didn’t require college degrees, far cheaper college for the minority suited for it, far lower inflation for core survival costs, stronger families with less divorce and working mothers, less crime, higher church attendance, higher rates of volunteering for everything from PTA to Little League, fewer cross-country moves from family to obtain a job, more cultural cohesion, and less-woke public schools where students spoke English.......

Poll: Majority of Young Democrat Women Blame Men for Their Problems - A majority of Democrat women blame men for their problems, a Survey Center poll revealed. The survey gave a glimpse into the perceptions of young Democrat women, and it suggested that third-wave feminism still has quite a stronghold on the younger generation. Overall, 66 percent of Democrat women from the ages of 18 to 29 believe that the challenges women face in American society are “in a great deal due to the behavior or actions of men.” In comparison, only 18 percent of Republican women in the same age range blame men for those problems....

Americans Are Too Brain-Dead To Vote Smart — The GOP Is Too Spineles s to Educate Them - Suppose you, Dear Reader, were in a horrific accident purposely precipitated by a mad motorist high on deadly doses of drugs and alcohol, with a heaping helping of sociopathy on the side. You’ve connected with a conscientious, albeit vexatious, ambulance operator to transport you to the hospital with all deliberate speed. But the demented drunkard reappears in a beat-up jalopy and consciously collides with the emergency transport — first from behind, then from one side, then from the other, until it is practically disabled.  The repeat offender shouts that your diligent driver is a terrible person who was actually breaking the law in speeding you where you wanted to go, and now his vehicle is damaged besides. You should climb into the cray-cray’s clunker to continue to the ER for treatment of the very injuries he occasioned.

Without any desire to bask in the media spotlight, he personifies integrity as a scholar, a luminary whose body of work combines empirical rigor, historical breadth, and an unyielding commitment to human dignity irrespective of race. His insistence on true meritocracy—judging individuals by their capacities and achievements rather than by collective grievances or engineered outcomes—marks him as a rational defender of the individual against the sentimental collectivism that has come to dominate elite discourse......

Abdul El-Sayed: Who is He Really?

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags, 

In Part I, I discussed Abdul El-Sayed and his family's embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and other terrorist supporting groups, which I've updated, and will expand on that here.  This leads us to ask:  Who is he really? 

Well, for starters I think we can believe he's two things.  He antisemitic, and he despises America.

First, is he antisemitic?  I don't think that can be doubted since he  bragged about being endorsed  by Jew-hating Nation of Islam Ministers,  and was to appear at an event with a Jew-hating Pakistani cleric, and he's being funded by Islamists, and both he and his family despise America vowing to follow Islamic law until the day he dies, which is foundationally antithetical to American Constitutional law.

Make no mistake, not only is he an anti-Semite, the Democrat party knows it and just doesn't care.  Democrats like Dem Rep. Stevens who says even though he refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist, he's still going to support him, and then there's that disgrace to humanity, Chuck Schumer, who backs him in spite of the fact El-Sayed defended a terrorist attack on Temple Israel and the 100 or so little kids attending preschool inside.   

Apparently Schumer and his fellow Democrats feel a little perspective is needed here.......Like......what's the lives of a few Jewish children compared to his support for nationalized health care?   Then there's AOC who's on the stump for Abdul El-Sayed claiming she supports him because Trump is stifling women's education... along with a host of other inane claims.   Her great skill? Babbling nonsense while actually believing she sounds logical and brilliant.   Here's more about her babbling about education.  

During his primary run it was noted he may be the most radical nominee ever and this was a battle for the soul of Democrat party.  Nothing's changed.  

  1. Democrats Choose the Anti-American Path as Islamic Marxist Abdul El-Sayed Surges Toward Senate Nomination 
  2. Van Jones: El-Sayed’s Position Is ‘Leave Israeli Children to Be Bombed and Rocketed’
  3. MI Imam Who Hosted ‘Clean’ Abdul El-Sayed Commands Followers to Vote and ‘Deal the Zionist a Blow’ Framing Primary as Fight Against ‘Puppet’ of Israel 
  4. Resurfaced Audio Shows Abdul El-Sayed Minimizing Terrorist Attack

Second, does he hate America?  It appears that's a family trait.  His sister despises America, and detests the school where she teaches, his mother worked for a global terrorist’ group IARA that provided direct financial support to Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Hamas.  More here on that.  

Cenk Uygur Wants Democrats Who Opposed Abdul El-Sayed to Be Punished - For a party that claims to be a "big tent," there are some prominent voices on the Democrat side of the aisle that aren't keen on fellow party members who oppose Abdul El-Sayed. Hasan Piker, who has campaigned with and endorsed several Democrats, including El-Sayed, wants Lenin-style punishments for Democrats who don't fall in line.......

While claiming he loves America he calls the American political system the American political system a disease yet refuses to condemn the corrupt Muslim tyrants and what they demand from Muslims running for office in the U.S.

El-Sayed’s refusal to condemn the all-time savage antisemite Khamenei, who hailed young American antisemites for their being “part of the resistance front” on campus, shows up his priorities. He and every potential Muslim leader also need to be exposed for their views about the “resistance” chant: “from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free”, which is outlawed in many countries. The “central cause” to the Muslim ummah is an all-encompassing one, and leftists have largely joined it. Do Muslim leaders and potential ones such as El-Sayed stand for America first or for the Muslim ummah first?

I don't think that can be doubted he puts the Islam above America, American laws and American culture.  He even hates Mackinac Island "a charming vacation enclave known for its 'Americana'-style wholesomeness at the northern tip of mainland Michigan." The question that's asked... and really needs to be answered is...."should someone represent a place he hates in the Senate?"

Editor's Note:  As I stated in Part I, f you like this piece and would like to forward it to others, do it now, as it appears I have a personal censor at Blogger who doesn't like anything that tells the truth about Islam and deletes any of my commentaries that deal with it, which I protest .... over and over again.  RK

Is This the Best You Have? Abdul El Sayed

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags:

Over the recent weeks there's been an unending series of commentaries expressing total confidence for a Michigan Senate victory for Abdul El Sayed.  Their level of confidence was so high at one point a Democrat strategist claimed he would run for President.  So, let's start with claims about his embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and his commitment to Islam. 

In spite of his denials Abdul El-Sayed’s half-sister claims his family has long been involved with the Muslim Brotherhood, he claims her tweet on this subject is hearsay evidence’, yet there appears to be ample evidence to the contrary.   

Other of his actions certainly indicate he's on board with these groups as he's fund-raised with a Hamas supporter who celebrated Oct 7.  Yet I think it's interesting that during his debate Mike Rogers listed all the atrocities of Oct. 7th, he dismissed that as political theater by Rogers.   He's also received a six figures donation from an unindicted terror co-conspirator group, and over $115,000 from donors connected to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a 'foreign terrorist organization.  So, is it unreasonable to ask if a vote for El-Sayed a vote for bin Laden? 

Regarding the 911 anniversary he was quoted as saying, nothing’ justifies terrorism but his choice of associates, along with his past tweets, indicate he may not really believe that, as the tweets he deleted were found:

El-Sayed’s deleted tweets about the 9/11 attacks over the years. The best part is that he tried to turn the deadliest terror attack into a “both sides” argument, saying 9/11 was awful, but our justified war against terrorism, a long campaign of self-defense, was somehow equally atrocious..... There are 11 tweets from 2020 to 2022 in which this guy decided to trivialize that awful day. And as you could expect, he bashes America more than al-Qaeda. Are we shocked? No, this is who this guy is and has been for years. It only got masked because Gretchen Whitmer took him to the woodshed the last time he ran for statewide office. .......

He's touted the idea there's nothing to fear from Islamists since they're just like us, which makes you wonder who is this "us" he's talking about, since Islam is "fundamentally incompatible with Western Civilization and peace."  He was designated to speak at a conference that calls for a Muslim takeover of U.S., where this quote is worth noting:

 “If you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah. You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.”

In this article, Abdul El-Sayed: The Enemy Inside the Gates, the author states:

Piker, El-Sayed, the kind of people who vote for El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib (among others) raise serious questions about the kind of people we are allowing into the United States.

  • Senator From Hamas? The far-left Abdul El-Sayed has narrowly won the Democratic primary for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat. The moment has historical significance, in that El-Sayed embodies in a single person the alliance between socialists and Islamic extremists that now dominates the Democratic Party.
Here's some background from his primary run about who he is and what he represents.

Update, 10/16/26:

  • Abdul El-Sayed: A Muslim Brotherhood Puppet and a Grave National Security Threat -  The Senate hopeful’s Islamic extremist ties deserve a closer look.  On NBC’s Meet the Press last Sunday, host Kristen Welker asked Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if he would “set the record straight” on his alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.  “No,” El-Sayed quickly replied, before clarifying that neither he nor his family have any ties to the international Sunni Islamist network.  El-Sayed is lying. The Democratic Senate hopeful is running as the most thinly veiled Trojan horse in American political history — on behalf of the Brotherhood and the Islamism it embodies.......

The Washington Free Beacon helped expose that El-Sayed’s half-sister, a radical University of Chicago professor named Eman Abdelhadi, has explicitly lauded the family’s Brotherhood ties. In 2012 Abdelhadi gushed over the mother, Fatten Elkomy, whom she shares with El-Sayed: “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s.” That same year, as the Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi reigned in Elkomy’s native Egypt, Abdelhadi bragged that her “family has long been MB.”

  • 'THIS IS BRUTAL': El-Sayed fumbles answer on 'lying,' report charges he 'lost' NBC! - Networks, in their reporting on politics and politicians, like to portray that they are neutral. But they often have a favorite and often it's not hard to detect that it is the Democrat, the progressive, or socialist, often all the same person. But one report now is suggesting that Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, the Democrat socialist candidate for Senate in Michigan, who falls into all three of those categories, has lost NBC, the network..............



Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich

I find it interesting how leftists define and condemn themselves with their accusations. Their accusations against conservatives and particularly Trump, are what they're actually doing themselves.  It's called projection, and it's a major component of a criminal mind.  Why do they do it? To hide the fact they're wanting to destroy not only America, but the entirety of western civilization, particularly Christianity, and make no mistake, unlike the Republicans who suffer from a genetic defect as a party, they don't have a backbone.  The Democrats are fearless.  Dumb as dirt, but if no one has the courage to challenge them, it merely reinforces their aggressive actions in pushing their destabilizing agenda.  

 Mamdani wants America to embrace the "warmth of collectivism"!  What's that mean?  Collectivism is socialism and socialism is foundationally tyrannical.  It means abandoning individual rights and giving government elitists total control of our lives.  In the 237 years, since the French Revolution, the "warmth" it delivered has devastated humanity with poverty, disease, and piles of innocent dead victims.  These young people have bought into this clabber claiming that happened because it wasn't true socialism, and if they're running the system it will work this time.  Ask them to define "real" socialism.  They don't have a clue.  Here's the definition of true socialism as defined by Benito Mussolini:  "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State", 

That makes the "state" a "supreme, living spiritual force that absorbs every aspect of human, moral, intellectual, and economic life. Individual rights do not exist independently of the collective will of the nation, and every aspect of life is regimented by the "state".  

In short, socialism is designed and intended to be a secular god.  

These Marxist supporters have "no kings marches against Trump, calling him a dictator and a fascist, yet they support... and impose.... censorship on any who disagree with them, they freeze back accounts of conservatives, they want to confiscate everyone's guns, they want unchecked spending and taxation, They want massive levels of regulation to control every aspect of our lives, including ending parental authority, they want to nationalize industry, and want the enforcement of law to be based on what party, gender, religion, or race to which a person  belongs.  Trump doesn't want any of that, and they claim he's the dictator?   It would appear it's Trump and MAGA or the alternative.  Just try and imagine that!

Below are three commentaries I think are worth viewing.  If you wonder how all this fraud could have occurred I think this first article answers that.   

  1. Health and Human Services Hidden Handouts Exposing Millions in Federal Funding to Radical Islamist and Terror-Linked Organizations - In both the Islamic world and in the West, Islamists implement social welfare projects to obtain political legitimacy and power. Through public works such as building and operating schools, hospitals, orphanages, and community centers, modern Islamists gain followers, position themselves as viable alternatives to the state, and sanitize the public’s negative perception of Islamist projects.  In the United States, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) represents a perfect vehicle for realizing these goals. Tasked with “Improving the health, safety, and well-being of America,” per its motto, HHS is the largest distributor of grant funds among federal agencies, overseeing trillions of dollars in annual budgetary resources. The sheer breadth of HHS spending creates oversight vulnerabilities, and Islamist organizations are poised to exploit these gaps and capture their share of federal disbursements......
  2. Major banks closed accounts of MAGA, pro-life and other conservative groups disfavored by Biden admin: bombshell report  -  Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to MAGA merchants, pro-life causes, religious groups, conservative organizations and sectors disfavored by the Biden administration, such as firearms, oil and gas, and private prisons, a bombshell report from the federal banking regulator has found. The Debanking Review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) investigated 100,000 complaints and scrutinized 50,000 internal bank records to reveal how customers were “debanked” based purely on their political, social, or religious beliefs.  JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank, and BMO Bank were found to have discriminated against American consumers, citing “reputation risk” as a reason to deny service between 2020 and 2025.......
  3. Major Banks Closed Accounts Based on Political and Religious Views During Biden Years - Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to conservative businesses, pro-life groups, and religious organizations, a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) found.  The report investigated 100,000 complaints and investigated 50,000 internal bank records, finding numerous examples in which customers' accounts were closed, or they were refused credit based on their religious and political views. 

The Babbleing Drivel of AOC

By Rich Kozlovich 

Autism article image
Okay, one of the things I find interesting is how "the squad", a band of dimwits, have taken over the  Democrat party.  Nancy Pelosi thought she could put them in her place at one point.  She found out she's not in control any longer, as these far left radicals are now the Democratic party.  They're anti-white racists, they believe in violence to get their way, and now they're the leaders of the Democratic Party.  

People like Ilhan Omar, who's is in deep legal trouble, seems to think WWII is World War Eleven.   She's not the brightest pebble in the brook, but she's typical of "The Squad".  

Then there's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is in her late thirties and is wanting to freeze her eggs.  Why?  Since she's apparently sure... sure mind you.....the world is going end in 12 years.  It's good to be sure.  It's better to be smart.  Oh wait....  I just had a thought. Is it possible she's lying about her belief we're all doomed by global warming?  Could be.

She's part of this far left Democrat cabal called the DSA.  It's also clear the DSA hates America.  Birds of a feather flock together as a man who has ranted unendingly about how much he hates America says he would absolutely campaign for her if she ran for President.  One Democrat strategist doesn't think she'll run for President, but believes Abdul El-Sayed will do so.  Does it seem to anyone besides me that Democrat strategist's are like pollsters, they're clueless?  

Here was a comment on the article Uncle Bernie’ and the woman who would be president By James Mullin:

I think of her as the Actress, who auditioned for the job, but is really just a social(ist) media influencer. Turkish born Cenk Uygur (Hasan Piker’s uncle) helped to launch the Actress’s career. They used her as the face of the Green New Deal, which brought the spotlight on the Actress.

As we have seen, she is basically an ignorant script reader and unable to discuss serious topics without a script. Like Biden playing the role of Grandpa, the Actress plays the role of the ingenue, the Bronx-born daughter of hardworking Puerto Ricans. Her role could be a musical production like West Side Story or a TV show called Sandy in New York City. I doubt her Hollywood-style star machine persona will play that well outside of NY.

I never knew this about Hasan Piker’s uncle. I doubt one in a thousand know this. You need to run this up a very tall flagpole!!!. It suggests - what Ive always feared - that we are seeing a very organized, very dark movement to bring Islamist communism to the US.

She seems to think she can mobilizes Catholics to support unending and unrestricted immigration and "our trans brothers and sisters", encouraging Catholics to support ending ICE and truth be told, based on what the DSA is promoting, ending enforcement entirely.  And these illegal immigrants are watching and hoping for Democrats to take power and then they'll surge over the border.  

Where did she promote these messages?  In a Catholic church that "held a “pride mass” this summer, asserting that the rainbow is a “beautiful” symbol of God’s diversity."  Given the anti-Christian views of Talarico's church, this heretical infection is spreading thorough out the nation.  She, just like the rest of the DSA and now the Democrat party in general, hates Israel, hates Christianity, hates capitalism, hates the Constitution, and hates America.

The biggest promoters of all this DSA claptrap are mostly white privileged characters, and mostly women, who could only be called over educated, under smart, ignorant, arrogant, arrogant about their ignorance and a bunch of spoiled brats. Nothing they do alters that view.   What’s particularly interesting is how they ignore the realistic outcome of their thinking by people and embrace the complete delusional insanity of socialism.   

In this article,  'Beyond goofiness': Watch AOC get demolished in attempt to distance herself from her own 'nonsense', the author notes: 

"AOC is trying to back out of a lot of issues and a lot of values that she herself has stood for."  "And there's no such thing as blaming something called 'Woke One.' You can't laugh off defunding the police. Or 20 million illegal immigrants from open borders."

They were inevitably the beneficiaries of fawning media coverage from the New York Times, CNN, the communist magazine Jacobin,  Islamist publication Al-Jazeera, ad infinitum. The corporate “news” media in general heralded the Squad as a progressive alternative to the alleged evils of “Trumpism” and Ocasio-Cortez  soon became their mascot.

 And her utterances reinforced the notion that the Squad was little more than a joke. 

I really loved this next bit of babbling nonsense from her.  

While discussing climate change initiatives she brayed, “We need to invent technology that has never even been invented yet.”  On unemployment she offered this nonsense: “I think the numbers that you just talked about is part of the problem, right? Because we look at these figures and we say, ‘Oh, unemployment is low, everything is fine, right?’ Well, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs.” 

Speaking about the electoral outlook for Democrats she opined, “If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House in 2020.” The GOP took them seriously only to the extent that they revealed how unserious the Democrats had become......."

When you see the kind of babbling nonsense she spews out you have to wonder how she managed to graduate "cum laude from Boston University with a with a Bachelor of Arts degree, having double majored in international relations and economics."   I also have to wonder why after graduating with honors she could only get a bartender's job.  

In Act IV, scene 1 of Shakespeare play Macbeth three witches chanted,  "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble" to cast their spell.  Here's the chant of these DSA witches. "Babble, babble, drivel and drool, make the land burn and fall", to cast their spell for national disaster.  

Update, 10/17/26:

Send girls to these colleges only - Women generally pursue degrees that don’t mean much in the  workplace, and the Department of Education is beginning to restrict taxpayer handouts for such pursuits. It’s about time.  Wannabee women (more like immature girls) are on the hook for about two-thirds of all student debt. Yet, as they pursue (mostly) easy curricula that generally avoid quantitative methods, their skill set is not particularly compelling to prospective employers. Often, they can’t find employment that enables them to pay off their debt.

Given that women hold the preponderance of student debt and are often incapable of meeting their obligations, the financial aid cuts are the epitome of common sense. That’s something AOC lacks entirely. For example, she just accused President Trump of restricting women’s access to education, saying, “They don’t want women to go to college.”.   Wrong! What they don’t want women to do is waste time being mollycoddled in their safe-zone leftist-arts colleges, while accruing debt that will encumber their life’s choices for decades thence.......
