Editor's Note: This first link is the most important, because history is everything, and America, along with western civilization, is blatantly ahistorical now. Cartoons added by me. RK
Why Write a Book About American History Now? - The Left isn’t a new threat. For over two centuries, America has confronted the enemy within. The David Horowitz Freedom Center is launching the pre-sale of my first book, ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left’. I call it a ‘1619 Project for the American Left’, telling the untold story of the rise of the movement and how America’s greatest leaders, from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, faced down against it in the halls of power and even in street battles. Some may wonder if this is the right time for a book about American history. Yes, because history is repeating itself. Everything we’re dealing with has happened before. And America prevailed then. It can prevail now..........
Academia, Defund Police
Parents Pay for Private Security on Violent College Campuses - The real winner in the Defund the Police movement has been private security. And California is Ground Zero for private security firms, which often employ off-the-clock cops, and assorted mall cops, some of them heavily armed can be seen all over major California cities. Now private security paid for by parents is showing up on college campuses. Parents of students at the University of California Berkeley have reportedly hired private security for their children, prompting consternation from school officials. SafeBears, which ended on Saturday, paid six guards a total of about $42,000 to patrol at night near student housing and south of campus in response to increases in some types of crimes, including property crimes, the Times reported...............
Bidenomics, Inflation
The ‘Bidenomics’ Myth That Americans Keep On Spending Money - Inflation in action. One of the big arguments that the media makes is that the economy must be good because consumer spending keeps roaring along. Even though in poll after poll, Americans talk about how the economy is good, the media and its experts act like people don’t really believe it because… they keep spending money. There are two factors at work here. One is that everything tends to cost more so spending keeps rising. That’s inflation in action. When food prices are up 30%, spending will rise because people need to eat. The other side of the coin is that we have two economies. And some people are doing quite well while a lot of others are not.........
DEI
New Boeing CEO Candidate Stephanie Pope Pushed DEI - Woke leads to broke. There’s plenty of drama at Boeing. The DEI-ridden corp looking for a new CEO appeared to have settled on current COO Stephanie Pope. That’s now in doubt for various reasons, but there’s every reason to believe that Pope won’t turn around a culture that had drifted away from engineering excellence and into corporate identity politics pandering. Consider Pope’s touting of its DEI report last year while using woke buzzwords.........
Immigration
The Illegal Alien Crime Wave (VIDEO) - “Illegal aliens routinely commit crimes” I joined the Immigration Reform Law Institute on their podcast earlier to disprove the myth that illegal aliens are not committing crimes. First of all, illegal entry is itself a crime. Secondly, illegal aliens routinely commit crimes as part of their presence in this country. Thirdly, illegal aliens piggyback on cartels and other organized crime groups that are either moving them into this country and/or using them to commit crimes once they’re in America. Illegal migration is one key element in the high crime rates in this country..............
While Biden Fundraises in Texas, Illegal Aliens Attack Border “100 migrants broke through razor wire and knocked over guards.” After years of denouncing the term “invasion” as fearmongering and claiming that the mass invasion of America by millions of illegal aliens is just “migration” by “refugees” suffering from “root causes” like poverty, we’re seeing the reality here. Tellingly this is happening to the Texas National Guard, not the federal authorities who have been ordered to keep the border open, because they’re actually trying to secure the border. This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today. We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here. pic.twitter.com/VN6Kf663ie......
Is the Baltimore Bridge Collapse Really an Argument for ‘Open Borders’? Was Baltimore really suffering from a shortage of low-wage and low-skilled workers? The Left never wastes an opportunity to exploit a crisis and faced with the Baltimore bridge collision and collapse, it quickly trotted out two narratives. 1. The bridge collision was caused by systemic racism. Baltimore had been discriminated against and so its infrastructure wasn’t up to spec. 2. The illegal aliens killed on the bridge show that we need open borders. Let’s address the second one..............
Islam, Russia, and Ohio
My Take - There are, at least in my opinion, five big takeaways over this terrorist attack in Russia.
First, this clearly demonstrates there's no getting along with Islamists. There's always one irrational violent group of Muslims ready to commit murder in the name of Islam, and Islamist are always in an unending state of outrage over something. Putin's been playing patty cake with Islamists and here's the result. You cannot appease the insane, and Islam is an agar dish for the unbridled growth of insanity.
Second, we now know, when it comes to Islam, Putin is as gutless as Biden, and I think the world recognizes it.
Third,
that will play big in the future. Gutlessness is a conditioned
response to crises, and I think that will play out in other crises
involving Putin, the Ukraine War, and even China. Putin's ruthless, brutal, and looks tough surrounded by his military and secret police thugs doing his dirty work, but standing alone, we see the real Putin.
Fourth, this further demonstrates Putin's not the brightest pebble in the brook. Wanna be generals talk about strategy, great generals talk about logistics. In the Russo/Ukrainian War, Putin failed at both.
Fifth, this is a worldwide problem, and the world needs to recognize Islam is a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion, which needs to be declared a terrorist movement, and all Muslim immigration into their nations outlawed. See, simple! RK
Putin: Terror Attack “by Radical Islamists Whose Ideology the Islamic World Has Been Fighting” - “Are radical and even terrorist Islamic organizations really interested in striking Russia?” Despite the hype about how tough and serious Putin is, his speeches about the Islamic terrorist attack in Moscow could have been written for George W. Bush. The officially translated remarks after the attack made no mention of Islam, but a follow up one on measures being taken after the attacks do mention Islam in a way Bush and Obama would have been fine with. “We know that the crime was committed by the hands of radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries,” Putin initially stated. That’s not a bad translation. he said, “radikalnih Islamistov” or “radical Islamists”...............
Why Russia Is No Better at Fighting Islamic Terror Than We Are - America and Russia could fight Islamic terrorism but that would be politically inconvenient. After the Islamic terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia’s basic response (stripped of blaming Ukraine) looks a lot like ours. There’s a narrow focus on the handful of direct perpetrators, threats of consequences, retweets of statements of support from Muslim countries (Hamas has also expressed sympathy), and a calculated refusal to mention the “I” word. While people expect a more vigorous response from Putin than they would from the White House, Russia is no better at fighting Islamic terrorism than we are. Russia can bomb terrorist camps, but so can we. And while bombing the occasional terror enclave is fine, terror attacks depend on a domestic infrastructure.....
Putin Blames Everyone Except Islam for Islamic Terrorist Attack - Putin lets his people die to cover up the truth about Islam. Biden and the EU says that Vladimir Putin is nothing like them, but in at least one area, he’s very much like them. After the Islamic terror attack in Moscow by Muslim migrants, Putin, the Russian regime and its online ‘IRA’ influencers are choosing to blame everyone, from Ukraine to America and Israel, rather than Islam. Putin claimed that the Islamic terrorists were headed for Ukraine. Why go to Ukraine when there are plenty of Islamic enclaves in and around Russia? After having hosted a terror summit that included Hamas and Islamic Jihad in order to fight Israel, he offered a generic ‘Bush’ style statement that, “we will stand united against this common enemy international terrorism no matter where it shows its ugly head.”......
Spielberg Equates Israel and Hamas - March 27, 2024 - “Decry the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza.” Contemptible but not surprising. In his movie, ‘Munich’, a fake revisionist version of Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorism, Steven Spielberg made a point of equating the Israeli counter-terrorism operatives and the terrorists. And it’s not just Israel. When he considered making ‘American Sniper’, he wanted to focus on a terrorist sniper who would be “a mirror of Chris on the the other side.”.......
Muslims Firebomb Store Over “Allah Socks” - “Several pairs of socks emblazoned with the word ‘Allah’ were put on sale.”Islam is a peaceful religion. It’s not in any way associated with violence except in response to Jews, Christians or Hindus defending themselves against it, or really serious issues like socks. Allah socks...........Five pairs of socks. Also, Muslims have a history of seeing their deity where he isn’t. Like on ice cream. Burger King recalls ‘sacrilegious’ desserts......The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: “The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone.”......
State Dept Complains Israel is “Writing Off Their Reputation Damage” - “The Israelis seemed oblivious to the fact that they are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation.” When your country has invaded and over a thousand of your people have been murdered, do you.
- A. Smash Those Responsible
- B. Focus on Your Reputation
America initially went with A after 9/11. And then decided to spend the next 20 years on B mode. Israel is now understandably in A mode after spending even longer in B mode after the Oslo Accords. This is understandable to anyone who is a normal human being and therefore unemployable at the State Dept.....
Biden Admin Creates Muslim Census Category- March 30, 2024 - And next up, the census will be asking about sexual orientation and gender identity. Islamic groups had been demanding a special census category for a while and now they’re getting one. The Biden administration signed off on “Middle Eastern or North African” checkbox on the next census. While in theory the checkbox applies to non-Muslims (including me, as I was born in Israel), it’s meant to be a category that Muslims will claim to represent. Much like the term “Asian” in the UK came to be co-opted by Islamic groups, Muslim organizations will claim to represent and speak for those in the MENA category, amplifying their power and influence. We at the Freedom Center have been warning about the MENA category for some time. Here’s Bruce Thornton in 2016................
RIP Senator Joseph Lieberman - Sen. Lieberman’s opposition to Islamic terrorism had so infuriated the Left that it did everything possible to topple him. Unlike a lot of elected officials who stay on well past the point of faintest competence, Sen. Joseph Lieberman left public office a long time ago. And yet when I spoke to him some months ago, he was remarkably sharp and on the ball. At an age where a lot of his former peers, including Biden, ramble, freeze up and go in circles, he gave considered answers, spoke at length but in depth, did not need to consult notes and never lost focus..........
My Take - I've seen a lot of flattering commentaries about Joe Lieberman, and all because he got something right, and took a lot of heat over it. But I put him in the same category as Senator Everett Dirksen who allegedly said "a billion here and a billion there, and the first thing you know you're talking about a lot of money", who was considered a fiscal conservative, and a social liberal. Talk about cognitive dissonance. Did he really think you can support liberal policies and not spend a ton of money?
Did Joe Lieberman not notice the disaster his party was creating for America, a disaster he was part and parcel of? These are smart men, how could they not see the failure they supported going on around them? I'm sorry, just because someone got something right doesn't give a pass on the rest of life. RK
Israel/Hamas War
Kamala Warns Israel of “Consequences” if it Destroys Hamas - “I am ruling out nothing.” The Biden administration is doing every possible thing to save Hamas by depriving Israel of arms, threatening it with political and economic consequences, and going after Netanyahu personally to stop a Rafah operation. But there’s no way to finish off Hamas, which has the bulk of its brigades in Rafah in occupied Islamist territory in Gaza, without going in......
Hamas Just Brought to Life These Cartoons About Hiding Behind Babies - “Terrorists continued to hide in the hospital’s maternity ward” The Washington Post ‘canceled’ famed cartoonist Michael Ramirez for depicting a Hamas leader hiding behind children.
,
Yes, the fallback position for the terrorists was the maternity ward. Then again, Arafat bragged that, “the womb of the woman will be our strongest weapon against the Zionists!” And the Arab Muslim invaders have found so many ways to make that so........
Chicago Politician Stands in Front of PLO, Iraqi Flag, After U.S. Flag Burned - This isn’t a political opposition. This is treason. After Alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez went viral for taking part in a pro-terrorist rally at which an American flag was burned, he claimed that he was far too patriotic for such a thing. According to the Chicago socialist, and a close ally of failed Mayor Brandon Johnson, “as a proud naturalized American immigrant, Alderman Sigcho Lopez is sensitive to any perception of disrespect towards the country that has provided him with numerous opportunities. He categorically denies ‘choosing’ to speak in front of a burned American flag.”.................
Israel Won Major Victory by Ignoring Biden Hamas had not been expecting Israel to hit a ‘hospital’ on Ramadan without warning. The current Israeli government made the same mistake after Oct 7 that so many previous ones had by assuming that it would retain the support of the White House if it followed its parameters. Instead of a comprehensive siege and rapid forceful assaults, Israel waited. When there were complaints about casualties, it slowed down, sent warnings and put its own soldiers at risk. And lives were lost. But none of that worked. There was a ticking clock and Biden was bound to eventually pull support. It was only a matter of time.,..................
Biden Sells Out Israel in UN ‘Ceasefire’ Resolution - A ceasefire doesn’t protect Israeli civilians. It protects Hamas. The draft UN resolution from the Biden administration calls for “an immediate and sustained ceasefire to protect civilians on all sides, allow for the delivery of essential humanitarian assistance, and alleviate humanitarian suffering, and towards that end unequivocally supports ongoing international diplomatic efforts to secure such a ceasefire in connection with the release of all remaining hostages”. Describing a “ceasefire in connection with the release of all remaining hostages” rather than a ceasefire in exchange for is deliberately ambiguous......................
Goodbye Candace – Part 2 - Daniel Greenfield - The Daily Wire dumps Candace Owens. Back in November, the David Horowitz Freedom Center made the decision to dump Candace Owens. In our article, Goodbye Candace, we pointed out that we “honored her with an Annie Taylor Award for Courage in 2018, and hosted her at multiple events. That’s why we are so disappointed in what she has become.”..............
Chicago May Replace Columbus With Obama - A street named for the Great Explorer will be renamed for the Great Destroyer. Columbus may have discovered America, but Obama destroyed it. And to the winner go the spoils. Obama’s radical acolytes tore down Columbus monuments during the BLM hate riots while the city’s former mayor threatened Italian Americans and city officials if they tried restoring them. “Get that f—— statue back before noon tomorrow or I am going to have you fired,” Lightfoot allegedly yelled at a government lawyer who had tried to negotiate a deal with Italian-American groups to restore the statue.. ......
The Islamist Transformation of Ohio in One Video -- Open borders is just the first step. This is the next step.......This is how Ohio and America are being transformed at the state level. Open borders is just the first step. Our Election Jihad report shows how the next step works. Refugee resettlement nonprofits and aid groups sponsor and set up community groups for the new arrivals. Those groups transition into political and voter turnout operations meant to elect Democrats. The process takes much less time than you might think. And the consequences are catastrophic........
Biden Admin Pushing “Peacekeeping Force” to Protect Terrorists in Gaza It will turn Gaza right back into a terrorist enclave. Israel has had plenty of experience with peacekeeping forces on its borders before. Whether it’s in Jerusalem or Lebanon, international peacekeeping forces do nothing to stop attacks on Israel and provide cover for Muslim attackers. And with a record of generations of failure, somehow this terrible idea is being rebooted yet again. Biden administration officials are in preliminary “conversations” about options for stabilizing post-war Gaza, including a proposal for the Pentagon to help fund either a multinational force or a Palestinian peacekeeping team...........
Judicial Corruption
Kamala Donor Judge Disbars John Eastman for Representing Trump - Corrupt California State Bar which protected corrupt lawyers, targeting Trump’s lawyer. Corrupt. Totalitarian. Par for the course. I was privileged to listen to John Eastman speak twice and lay out his case at David Horowitz Freedom Center events, including at the Restoration Weekend in New Orleans and at an event in Los Angeles. Both times, Eastman spoke compellingly about what he had gone through in the lawfare campaign to destroy him for representing Trump. That includes the California bar’s effort to disbar him. An effort that has at least temporarily succeeded.................
Media corruption, bias, and hypocrisy is beyond description.
NBC’s Ronna McDaniel Meltdown - No one can be allowed to represent Republicans on NBC News. Like so many other useless RNC and DNC bosses, Ronna McDaniel left off running the RNC into the ground for a gig at NBC News. Michael Steele, who long ago came out as a Dem, is on MSNBC these days. And FOX News had hired ex-DNC head Donna Brazile (for a brief while anyway) to spout off. There’s nothing unusual here. RNC and DNC heads are mostly useless people and that makes them perfect as talking heads with impressive titles. But nothing is normal anymore and so NBC News’ people threw a fit over Ronna McDaniel.......
NBC News Officially Bans Republicans From Working There - “No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned.” For the longest time, the media played this game of pretending that it doesn’t consist entirely of a bunch of leftist activists who exist to promote their political agenda and attack those of their political opponents. The pretense is wearing thin. And who knew that Ronna McDaniel of all people would be the breaking point? But it’s kind of like the way that the media’s attacks on dishwater liberals like McCain and Romney, portraying them as Hitler 2.0 just because they posed a threat to Obama, helped kill the media’s credibility.....
My Take - First, Ronna is a nitwit, and in my opinion, an incompetent traitorous RINO nitwit who not only mismanaged the RNC misspending their money, which should be investigated, and actually worked against conservative candidates in collusion with Mitch McConnell. But what I get a kick out of is the fact NBC is using Al Sharpton, the dullest pebble in the brook, and an even bigger corrupt nitwit than Ronna to promote this biased clabber!
What would I do if I was running NBC?
First, I would start by placing their biggest names, all mostly under contract, in far lesser positions, even copy boys or girls, and they would stay there until they apologized for their behavior to the management, to their fellow employees, and then to the general public. As for anyone of those who weren't under contract, and who through their protests were in effect making demands about management decisions; they would be fired. See, simple! RK
Media: Only Reason Americans Think the Economy is Bad is COVID PTSD - After years of failed efforts to convince Americans that the economy is great, the media has listened to the vast majority of the country… and decided that they must be crazy for thinking the economy is bad. “America is in a funk, and no one seems to know why.”......
Transgenderism
Sacramento to Become Sanctuary City for Child Abusers - But what about a sanctuary city for mutilating kids? Sacramento just got done passing a resolution demanding that Israel stop attacking Hamas by an almost overwhelming margin (with the exception of the lone Jewish councilwoman) so now it’s time to get even edgier. Sanctuary cities for illegal alien invasions are old news. But what about a sanctuary city for mutilating kids?......No one criminalizes adults seeking to have their own genitals cut off.....And no Republican state criminalizes adults getting themselves mutilated either. There are only restrictions on children being mutilated before the age of consent.......
