Matt Duss, who Publicized Nazi Propaganda and Was Adviser for Sen. Bernie Sanders to Join the U.S. State Department.


Matt Duss, a former foreign-policy adviser for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), is reportedly expected to join the U.S. State Department.

According to Politico, the move “will be viewed by many on the left as a victory for progressives.” It added that the position has not been finalized.

In December, a coalition of progressive groups, including several anti-Israel organizations, sent a list to the incoming Biden administration of 100 candidates for senior positions. Duss was recommended to serve as deputy national security adviser or special adviser to the secretary of state.

Duss has been accused of furthering anti-Semitic conspiracy theories during his tenure at the left-wing think-tank Center for American Progress.

He allegedly was part of an incident in 2012 where several staffers at the center’s ThinkProgress website were condemned for using anti-Semitic tropes of Jews dominating politics and money.

The staffers alleged “pro-Israel Jews and members of Congress of being ‘Israel firsters,’ a term implying that those who support the Jewish state have dual loyalties,” according to The Washington Free Beacon.

He also faced a backlash for publicizing Nazi-era propaganda posters in 2013.

In 2019, Duss also drew controversy for meeting with Hanan Ashrawi, a longtime aide to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. The meeting took place after Ashrawi was denied a travel visa to the United States by the Trump administration.

More recently, Duss called the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh “terrorism.” He also criticized American Jewish Committee CEO David Harris for his comparison between Rep. Marjorie Greene Taylor (R-Ga.) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for their anti-Semitic rhetoric.

Senate Votes 97 - 3 To Keep Embassy In Jerusalem ...Bernie Sanders & Pocohantos Vote Against

 The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted to keep the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem on Friday.

It voted 97-3 on an amendment that sets aside funding to maintain the Jerusalem embassy, making it harder to reverse former President Donald Trump’s move of the embassy from Tel Aviv. Biden has said he does not intend to move the embassy back to Tel Aviv.

The amendment, co-sponsored by 21 Republicans led by James Inhofe of Oklahoma, was added to the massive $1.9 trillion budget bill the Senate passed as part of President Joe Biden’s relief package.

The amendment sets aside funding to maintain the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem making it harder to reverse former President Donald Trump’s move of the embassy from Tel Aviv. Biden had said he was not, in any case, going to move the embassy.

The three senators who voted against were all Democrats: Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Tom Carper of Delaware.

“Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and I am proud to introduce legislation to protect the U.S. Embassy from relocation or being downgraded,” Inhofe said in a statement after the vote.

Mashgiach Screams and Curses Like a Raving Lunatic At A Bochur Who Hosted Dancing In Dormitory

 

This is who is in charge of our bochrim in Yeshiva dormitories. 

Were the guys watching TV? Nope!

Were they fooling around with girls? Nope! 

Did they serve liquor with schmaltz herring? Nope!

Were they stopping traffic so that ambulances shouldn't get thru? Nope!

They were passing the time with a dance when this maniac walked in, broke up the gathering and screamed and cursed for over 8 minutes in Yiddish...

He also broke the expensive speakers....

Why are Democrats so scared of Donald Trump when they just defeated him?

 

Donald Trump is washed up. A has-been. Everyone hates him, and he has no future. That’s what the press is constantly telling us.

So why are the Democrats still afraid of him?

According to the press narrative, Trump suffered a crushing electoral defeat. Democrats are firmly in charge of the White House and Congress. America is returning to normalcy, with the reassuring (if sometimes a bit confused) face of President Biden beaming over all of us like a benevolent grandpa. We’re ready to move on.

That’s the story, but the Democrats’ actions give it the lie.

In a nation returning to “normalcy,” does Congress cower behind armed troops and 12-foot fences? Does a party securely in control try to enlist tech firms and media to snuff out voices of opposition?

In a normal America, does a defeated presidential incumbent pose such a threat to the party in power that he must be impeached after leaving office, to ensure he doesn’t win back the White House in four years?

That’s where we are. The Democrats aren’t acting like a party secure in its position; they’re acting nervous and insecure and lashing out at any perceived threat.  

The Republicans didn’t impeach LBJ or Jimmy Carter after they left office — although in LBJ’s case, at least, there were probably grounds. The Democrats didn’t try to make sure George H.W. Bush was ineligible for future office after he was beaten by Bill Clinton, even though Clinton failed to win a majority of the vote.

Yet Democrats have made quite plain that the purpose of this after-hours impeachment of a former president is to ensure Trump doesn’t rise from the political grave and run again in four years.

Pelosi, Democrats eject Marjorie Taylor Greene from House committees but Keep Ilhan Omar & Tlaib Vicious Anti-Semites


Speaker Nancy Pelosi and fellow House Democrats on Thursday voted to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from the Education and Budget committees to which she had been appointed by the Republican minority.

Nearly all Democrats and 11 Republicans voted 230-199 to sideline Greene over her adherence to an array of conspiracy theories. Two Democrats and one Republican did not vote.

Most Republicans voted against the purge, saying Greene’s controversial remarks predate her election and that Democrats are guilty of a double standard. They said the vote sets a worrying precedent for removing minority-party legislators from posts.

Greene spoke in her own defense, saying she regrets believing in the QAnon conspiracy theory. But she defiantly accused the news media of being “just as guilty as QAnon” of spreading untruths.

Doctor who treated Alexei Navalny after poisoning dead at 55

The Russian doctor who was in charge of treating Alexei Navalny after he was poisoned by the nerve agent Novichok has died suddenly at age 55, according to multiple reports.

Sergey Maximishin died of a heart attack after being taken to the hospital where he worked on Wednesday night due to a spike in his blood pressure, Life.ru reported, citing a Russian Health Ministry spokeswoman.

“The doctor actually died of a heart attack, because he had a really stressful job and he actually lost people who were close to him,” said spokeswoman Galina Nazarova.

“It’s just the human heart,” she told the outlet.

Maksimshin, who was the head of intensive care, died in the cardiology ER of his hospital in Omsk.

“He gave his local hospital 28 years, saved thousands of lives, and left many talented students who will carry on his legacy,” the Omsk Region Health Minister Alexander Murakhovsky said.

“Sergey Maximishin literally dragged out from “the other side” even the most critical, hopeless patients with his hands.”

About 1,400 people have been arrested, mostly in Moscow and St. Petersburg, during heated protests over the Jan. 17 arrest of Navalny, 44, a fierce Kremlin critic who was detained on his return to Russia from Germany, where his treatment for poisoning had been continued.

Navalny has been ordered to serve 3 1/2 years prison after authorities ruled that his trip to Germany violated his parole.

OAC's Claim Of ‘Near-Death Experience’ At Capitol Riots ... Is A Lie

 

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made significant hype from the ordeal she suffered during the breaching of the Capitol building on January 6th. 

In a video viewed over 6 million times, Ocasio-Cortez describes her “near-death experience” as she hid in a bathroom after her legislative director Geraldo Bonilla-Chavez told her to “hide, hide, run and hide,” while rioters in a room nearby allegedly said “where is she?” Newsweek claimed that Ocasio-Cortez felt she was “about to be assassinated.”

Moreover when a policeman came to assist Ocasio-Cortez, she claimed in a separate clip that he “didn’t feel right” and that he was looking at her “in all of this anger and hostility.” Ocasio-Cortez claimed that the situation was “aggressive” and even her staffer thought he might have to fight the officer. She added that the officer said with urgency “go down and go to this building,” citing the name of the building.

However the facts are far from the melodramatic description of Ocasio-Cortez. It turns out that she was not even in the vicinity of the Capitol during the course of the assault on the building. She was actually in the nearby Cannon building which no insurgents ever reached and there was therefore no point at which Ocasio-Cortez was in physical danger.

Rep. Nancy Mace, (R-SC) who has an office adjacent to that of Ocasio-Cortez, says that the building had been briefly evacuated during the day while police where checking on a suspicious package nearby. 

Thus, Ocasio-Cortez’s “near-death experience” can be summed up as a fabrication

So upon seeing a Capitol police officer directing her to another building, the Longworth building, AOC, Instead of thanking the officer for doing his duty, she tries to paint him as someone to be afraid of.

Stacey Abrams Has Been Nominated For The Nobel Peace Prize But No One Knows Why?

Stacey Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate who has since become a voting rights activist, has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Abrams’ nomination was revealed on Monday by Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party member of Norway’s parliament, according to Reuters.

“Abrams’ work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights,” Haltbrekken said.

It’s Time For Conservatives To Take On Big Tech Tyrants. Here’s How

 In a passage in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt. “Gradually,” he replies. “Then all at once.”

Such a framing could also describe the raw power of Big Tech, which has been evolving over the last two decades into what can accurately be described as an oligopoly (when a market is dominated entirely by a handful of firms). That power was fully unleashed last month. After playing footsie for the last decade with their massive market and narrative control over America, Big Tech finally shed any pretext of restraint or deference to the norms of speech, diversity of viewpoints, or pluralism.

First, they first banned the president of the United States from every conceivable platform. Then they came for everyone else – even their conservative competitors.

While the platforms hide behind the excuse of Trump, it’s clear these bans are not solely about him. After all, Trump has left office. Rather, it is a sincere effort by Big Tech and woke corporations to punish, de-platform, delegitimize, marginalize, and silence the millions of Americans who hold viewpoints and beliefs that differ from the alliance of corporate media, the establishment Democratic party, and the lords of Silicon Valley.
