J Street Masquerading as Pro-Israel

J Street is actively urging senators to block U.S. arms sales to an American ally fighting for its survival against genocidal enemies intent on exterminating Jews.

Joel Greenberg Convicted Fraudster Is Behind the Fake Smears Against Matt Gaetz

 

The last eight years at the Department of Justice have been a disaster for the rule of law. The sprawling intelligence and law enforcement agency ran the Russia collusion hoax, hamstringing President Donald Trump during his entire first term in office.

It interfered in the 2020 election by falsely telling social media companies that a laptop with incriminating information about the Biden family business was Russian disinformation, and telling them to censor speech and debate about the topic. Under President Joe Biden, the department ran two norm-obliterating politicized prosecutions against Trump in an effort to silence, bankrupt, imprison, and defeat him.

Instead of rooting out the corruption at the department, most of permanent D.C. did absolutely nothing in response. Yet somehow the chattering class was shocked when Trump nominated loyal foot soldier Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fl., to be attorney general in Trump’s second term and to fix DOJ.

Gaetz had proven to be one of the most effective advocates against corruption at DOJ and was unwilling to back down in the face of overwhelming public pressure. However, Gaetz does not fit the education or experience profile of many previous attorneys general and has limited experience practicing law.

Many Americans are sick and tired of elected officials and media pundits doing nothing as DOJ attempted to destroy the country with its abuse of the rule of law. Among the many powerful figures in Washington, D.C. opposed to the Gaetz nomination are some who are attempting to thwart it by releasing a report from the House Ethics Committee that will attempt to tie Gaetz to salacious allegations involving child sex trafficking.

The report comes years after DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims on the grounds that the two central witnesses had serious credibility issues. Yet these are the same two central witnesses the House Ethics Committee has relied on for its critical report of Gaetz—the same report it is leaking to compliant reporters as part of a coordinated effort to thwart his nomination as President-elect Donald Trump’s next attorney general.

The two witnesses have massive credibility problems. The claims arose from Joel Greenberg, “one of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time,” according to Florida reporter Marc Caputo, who is now with the anti-Trump media outlet The Bulwark.

New Hamas Commander Yasser Abu Shaba Behind Humanitarian Aid Hijacking

 

A UN report reveals that Hamas operative Yasser Abu Shabab leads a systematic operation hijacking humanitarian aid in Gaza.

 His group has looted aid convoys, resulting in significant losses and endangering aid workers. Hamas reportedly diverts seized aid to fund its activities, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Hochul Mocked for Claiming $9 Toll SAVES Them Money

Chassidim Kissing Hochul's Ass

 Governor Kathy Hochul used twisted logic to gaslight New Yorkers, by claiming that by charging them “only” $9 in tolls she is saving them money. You cannot make this stuff up.

Hochul on Monday claimed her congestion pricing would save New Yorkers 40% on tolls for driving into Midtown — skipping the fact that her proposal is an increase (times infinity) from the current rate of $0.

She explained during a press conference that the new plan is a 40% decrease in tolls from the $15 that was initially scheduled to take effect.

“From day one I have made affordability for New York families a top priority. I always have and I always will fight to put more money in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers,” Hochul said. “That’s why, back in June, I stood up on behalf of hardworking families and simply said no. No to a new $15 congestion toll that at that particular time was just too much.”

Later she said, “You heard me correctly,” Hochul said of the toll set to take effect in January. “It was $15 and now it is $9, that is a 40% reduction. “This lower toll will save daily commuters nearly $1,500 annually, and that kind of money makes a big difference for our families.”

Her absurd logic was ridiculed on X.

“I was going to rob you and then kill you but I’ve decided to only rob you, which means I have saved your life,” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh posted.

“Woman shopping logic applied to taxes is insane,” Joel Berry added.

“She must think NY voters are really dumb,” Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said .

“Hochul left out the part about this $9.00 toll charge for entering Manhattan representing a 100% INCREASE. As compared to the $0.00 toll amount charged prior to June 2024,” another added.

“They want you to praise them from extorting you a little less than they originally planned,” RedState’s Bonchie said.

Nancy Pelosi is toast — blamed for Dems’ $1B electoral collapse

 

It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse. 

Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough. 

Voters rejected the Dems from coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump.

She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice. 

She’s finished. 

The empress emeritus has no clothes (perish the thought). !

New York Times Tried Mocking RFK Jr but Got Egg On Their Face! It All Backfired!

 

This New York Times “gotcha” is about as sharp as a soggy bowl of breakfast cereal.

The Times was relentlessly mocked over the weekend for appearing to unintentionally make Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s case in a recent article that tried to poke holes in his anti-processed-food crusade.

Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has long pushed for purging artificial ingredients from the food supply, routinely calling such additives “poison.”

The Times on Friday ran a story positing that the Kennedy scion’s stance while potentially leading the agency could put him on a collision course with Big Food, which the outlet warned could jeopardize Republicans’ longstanding friendly relationship with the multibillion-dollar industry.

“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version,” Gray Lady scribes wrote of the colorful Kellogg’s cereal often criticized by RFK Jr.

“But he was wrong,” the article continued authoritatively — before delivering what was meant to be the death blow certain to tear Kennedy’s incorrect beliefs to smithereens.

“The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label,” the report said.

Ingredients such as artificial food dyes are among those RFK Jr. has frequently railed against, particularly in products marketed toward children.

The unfortunate juxtaposition of Canada’s naturally derived ingredients with the US’ roll call of artificial chemical dyes — complete with a difficult-to-pronounce, science-y sounding additive — was brutally derided in an X post by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk that was viewed more than half a million times.

“Wait, so RFK Jr. was completely accurate, but they didn’t like how he said it?” wrote an incredulous X user.

Another person quipped, “They are the same, only different, right? that is logical… Sure it is.”

An X writer, referring to Trump’s decisive election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, said, “This. This is exactly why they lost. Everything about this particular part of this specific article is why we won and they lost.”

Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1 are all on the chopping block in California, which has mandated food manufacturers replace artificial ingredients with naturally derived alternatives by 2027 or face banishment from public-school vending machines and cafeterias in schools statewide. 

Backers of the ban say the dyes have been linked to developmental and behavior problems in kids.

Lame-duck Biden ramps up sanctions on Israelis — and eases up on terrorists

 

As he heads for the exit, President Biden is easing sanctions on Hamas and Hezbollah — while sanctioning Jews in Israel.

Under pressure from Israel-bashing critics, including scores of congressional Democrats, a president who stood firmly behind Israel after the Oct. 7 massacre seems to have lost his moral compass.

And just as President Barack Obama in his last months in office allowed the UN Security Council to pass a resolution slamming Israel, Biden may use sanctions to further turn the screws on the Jewish state in his lame-duck stretch.

In 2022, the Treasury Department determined that the Foundation for Global Political Exchange, a US-based non-profit, would violate sanctions laws by inviting Hamas and Hezbollah to a conference it was planning in Beirut.

Last week, the Biden administration did an about-face and gave the group a green light for the meeting.

Yet at the same time, the Biden administration has created the first sanctions program designed to target citizens of a major US ally.

Crazy Insane New Yorkers Will Overwhelmingly re-elect Bragg as DA

Controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is heavily favored to win re-election next year despite being seen as soft on crime — and critics say that could make New York City a laughing stock.

No Democrat has emerged thus far to challenge Bragg in the June 25 Democratic primary.

Republicans will field a credible candidate, said state GOP Chairman Ed Cox — but pundits predict that any GOP nominee will still face daunting odds in liberal Manhattan, even with Bragg’s reputation as being soft on quality-of-life and street crimes.

Some analysts added that New York will be a national joke if Bragg, who has been in office a turbulent three years, coasts to re-election.

“The Democrats have lost their minds,” veteran political consultant Hank Sheinkopf said of the DA’s supporters. “Bragg’s re-election will tell the rest of the country that New Yorkers are crazy and we don’t punish people who endanger police officers and citizens.”

Even in heavily blue California, fed-up voters tossed out lefty like-minded DAs: ex-San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin in 2022 and Los Angeles DA George Gascon and Alameda County prosecutor Pamela Price on Nov. 5.

“Even San Francisco has been normalized compared to New York,” Sheinkopf said.

Ken Frydman, a longtime rep for NYPD unions, said, “I’m tired of toothpaste being locked up at CVS.

“Alvin Bragg should have a Democratic primary opponent. San Francisco and Los Angeles voted out their soft-on-crime district attorneys. Manhattan should do the same.”

Bragg made national headlines by winning a criminal conviction against President-elect Donald Trump for fudging records in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Trump and Republican allies argued it was a partisan prosecution, while Democrats hailed it.

It remains to be seen whether the verdict will stick or be tossed with Trump returning to the White House on Jan. 20.

But Bragg’s prosecution of Trump all but assures his re-election among Manhattanites, a campaign strategist said.

“Regardless of what happens with the Trump convictions, DA Bragg bought himself a near guarantee of coasting to re-election among Democratic primary voters,” said consultant Jake Dilemani.

“It’s an asset.”

Bragg had drawn blowback immediately upon taking office when he issued a “Day One” staff memo directing prosecutors to drop some misdemeanor cases, not seek bail or prison time for most defendants and to downgrade certain felonies to misdemeanors.

Critics also slammed him for letting thugs who vandalized Columbia University in anti-Israel protests off scot-free, being slow-footed in addressing serial shoplifting and initially charging a bodega worker with murder for defending himself from a violent thug.

Bragg also drew intense criticism for letting some migrants free without bail after they attacked police officers in Times Square. He later indicted them.

In Manhattan, there have been 27,122 reported felony crimes this year through Nov. 10, up 16.9% from the same period in 2021 before Bragg took office, according to NYPD records reported by The Post on Sunday.

Under Bragg, rape has jumped 7.4% across Manhattan, robbery 8.9%, felony assault 16.8% and grand larceny 29.8%.

 The Alvin Bragg for DA Committee has $1,088,334.32 cash on hand, according to his most  recent July filing with the state Board of Elections.

Republicans Have it Wrong! Harris Did Not pay Oprah $1 Million for her Endorsement ....It was $2.5 Million Actually

 Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign shelled out nearly $2.5 million to Oprah Winfrey’s production company for the celeb-packed town hall it hosted — more than double the initial estimate reported.

It was originally surmised that Winfrey’s company Harpo Productions had been paid around $1 million for the talk show legend’s September town hall with Harris, but a new report shows that the dollar amount was greatly underestimated.

Two people familiar with the matter told the New York Times that Winfrey’s company had actually been paid closer to $2.5 million — still a mere fraction of Harris’ estimated $1.5 billion campaign spending.

The famous TV star has denied receiving any personal payments from the Democrat’s team and a former adviser to the Harris campaign also said they did not pay anyone for their appearances or support.

Winfrey said she did not pocket any of the money and used it to pay her team. She also noted that the Harris team was charged for what they required for the town hall.

“I was not paid a dime. For the live-streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, crew, producers and every other item necessary (including the benches and the chairs we sat on) to put on a live production. I did not take any personal fee,” Winfrey wrote on Instagram.

“However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.”

The Harris campaign broke records for the most donations compiled in the shortest amount of time. Now, it’s also likely one of the most expensive to date, with her campaign blowing through $1.5 billion in 15 weeks.

Her exorbitant budget also saddled the Democratic Party with a $20 million debt.

The money largely went towards the campaign’s aggressive advertising, as it had to squeeze a year of rallying into three months after Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee. There was also grassroots campaigning, inescapable social media advertising, and reeling in celebrities and influencers like Winfrey.

The star-studded support included famous artists like Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

Other billed purchases include nearly $9,000 worth of ice cream from high-end shops, $15,000 in food delivery services, and a staggering $2.6 million in private jet travel during her two-week push in battleground states in October.

President-elect Donald Trump trounced Harris in the election, garnering 312 electoral votes. The US Senate and House of Representatives also tipped, making for a Republican majority across the board.

Trump had an estimated budget of $720 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

He spent his time on the campaign trail appearing on a series of online shows, including The Joe Rogan Experience, the top-ranking podcast on most charts.

Ha Ha! AOC tweets AIPAC responsible for Democrats' defeat

 AIPAC Immediately Responds with the following fact check 

Fact check on what Democratic voters find popular vs unpopular, @AOC. https://t.co/hwCTqBS0SS pic.twitter.com/CQjZIp4Kil

— AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱🎗️ (@AIPAC) November 17, 2024

 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), known for her anti-Israel statements, appeared to suggest on Sunday that the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC was responsible for the Democrats’ poor performance in the November 5 Presidential election.

“If people want to talk about members of Congress being overly influenced by a special interest group pushing a wildly unpopular agenda that pushes voters away from Democrats then they should be discussing AIPAC,” wrote Ocasio-Cortez, commonly referred to by her initials AOC, in a post on social media site X.

Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the so-called “Squad” of progressive lawmakers who are known for their anti-Israel stance.

Her post was a response to Jeremy Slavin, a senior adviser to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who had written, “Weird to have a whole discourse about ‘special interest groups’ that completely leaves out corporate and industry lobbies—by far the most influential ‘groups’ in the Democratic Party.”

AIPAC later responded to Ocasio-Cortez and wrote, “Fact check on what Democratic voters find popular vs. unpopular”. The post included a graphic showing vote totals in primary elections in New York and Missouri, where “Squad” members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush lost their reelection bids.

Ocasio-Cortez’s criticism of Israel goes back to 2019, when she criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 News while arguing that criticizing Israel’s policies is not being antisemitic.

In a previous radio interview, Ocasio-Cortez said that Israel is “criminal” in its treatment of Palestinian Arabs, whom she said have no other choice but to “riot” against the Jewish state.

In March, Ocasio-Cortez accused Israel of genocide against Palestinian Arabs. She later defended her usage of the term “genocide”, telling CNN that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has “crossed the threshold of intent.”

Pope Francis calls for genocide investigation of Israel

 

By David Rosenberg, World Israel News

Pope Francis has called for an investigation into alleged acts of genocide by IDF forces during the ongoing wars against the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, according to an upcoming book.

On Sunday, the Italian daily La Stampa published excerpts from Hernán Reyes Alcaide’s new book, Hope Never Disappoints. Pilgrims Towards a Better World, which is set to be released on Tuesday.

Among the excerpts published Tuesday were quotes attributed to the Vatican pontiff in which he is said to have cited claims by “some experts” accusing Israel of genocide, and backing an investigation of IDF war conduct.

“According to some experts, what is happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a genocide,” Pope Francis is quoted as saying.

ISRAELI ECONOMY GROWS 3.8% IN THIRD QUARTER DESPITE WAR

Israel’s economy surged by 3.8% in Q3, beating expectations, despite conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah. 

Growth was driven by an 8.6% rise in consumer spending, a 21.8% increase in fixed asset investments, and a 1.7% boost in exports, offsetting a 10.8% drop in government spending.
 

Tulsi Gabbard on Turkey’s Erdogan – “He is One of the Most Dangerous Dictators in the World

 

Erdogan has been helping ISIS/AQ for years. He has denied this but is now openly using militias of "former" ISIS/AQ terrorists, exposing him for what he really is: a radical Islamist megalomaniac who wants to establish a caliphate with himself as the Caliph — the supreme ruler. pic.twitter.com/AQ5zb6Hp08

— Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 (@TulsiGabbard) October 30, 2019

The recent appointment of former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration has sparked discussions regarding the future of U.S.-Turkey relations. Gabbard, known for her outspoken criticism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has consistently highlighted concerns over Erdoğan’s policies and actions, particularly in relation to ISIS and the Kurdish population, as was reported on Friday on the medyanews.net web site.

In a 2020 video, Gabbard unequivocally stated, “Erdoğan is not our friend,” reflecting her skepticism towards Turkey’s role in regional conflicts. Her military background, having served in the U.S. Army during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, has informed her perspectives on counterterrorism and foreign policy. According to the medyanews.net report, Gabbard has accused Erdoğan of supporting ISIS, asserting that he is a “radical Islamist megalomaniac who wants to be the Caliph.”

Gabbard’s criticism extends to Turkey’s military actions in northern Syria. As per the information provided in the medyanews.net report, she condemned President Trump’s decision to permit Turkey’s 2019 invasion into the region, describing it as “laying out a red carpet, a green light for Erdoğan and Turkey to launch an ethnic cleansing and offensive against the Kurds.” She further accused Trump of deceiving the American public, emphasizing the necessity to protect Kurdish allies from what she termed Turkish genocide.

Ezra Friedlander's Turkey Welcomes Hamas Leaders that Were Thrown Out of Qatar

 

Hamas leaders have relocated from Qatar, a U.S.-designated ally, to Turkey, a key NATO member, raising serious security and geopolitical concerns.

The move has sparked criticism of Turkey’s support for Hamas, a group recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, and others. Critics warn this could strain NATO’s unity, with some calling for a review of Turkey’s membership.

The situation is further complicated by NATO’s Article 5, which could interpret any Israeli action against Hamas leaders in Turkey as an attack on a NATO ally, potentially obligating U.S. defense of Turkey. This development intensifies questions about Turkey’s geopolitical alignment and NATO’s future cohesion.

Remember Afif the Guy who sent Drones To Netanyahu's Home.??..Well Netanyahu Gifted him with Virgins

  The Israeli Air Force on Sunday killed Hezbollah propaganda chief Mohammad Afif in a targeted strike on a bunker in Beirut, according to Reuters.

The bunker was located in the Ras al-Naba’a neighborhood in central Beirut, not in Hezbollah’s stronghold of Dahiyeh to the south of the capital, Lebanese security sources told the news agency.

On Oct. 22, Afif was forced to interrupt a press conference in Dahiyeh after the IDF issued an evacuation order for the area ahead of conducting air strikes. The Hezbollah spokesman was rushed away on a bicycle, shortly after declaring that Israeli bombings didn’t scare him, according to an eyewitness report by “PBS NewsHour.”

Senate Will Sanction Hague Criminal Court if they Pursue arrest Warrants Against Israel Leaders

 If the International Criminal Court and its prosecutor Karim Khan don’t reverse their “outrageous unlawful actions to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli officials, the Senate should immediately pass sanctions legislation, as the House has already done on a bipartisan basis,” Senate Majority Leader-elect John Thune (R-S.D.) wrote on Sunday.

If the outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “does not act, the Senate Republican majority will stand with our key ally Israel and make this—and other supportive legislation—a top priority in the next Congress,” Thune added.

In June, the House passed a bill calling on the U.S. president to sanction those who assist the ICC in its investigation, arrest, detention or prosecution of “a protected person” and sanctions and imposes visa bans on those people and their families.

Khan had previously said that he was seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as for Hamas leaders.

Several senators supported the incoming Senate majority leader’s statement.

“The Senate must immediately pass legislation to sanction the International Criminal Court,” wrote Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chair of the Senate Republican Conference. “Senate Republicans stands with Israel.”

“Well done Senator Thune. The ICC’s actions against Israel have been outrageous, and an independent review into the prosecutor’s actions is more than called for,” wrote Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “The Senate should take up the ICC sanctions bill that passed the House in a bipartisan manner. Standing up for Israel today protects America tomorrow.”

Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wrote that the committee “can and should act as soon as possible to pass ICC sanctions legislation.”

“We waited for months for the majority to schedule the vote only to have them postpone it before the election,” Risch wrote. “We will not fail to act when Republicans are in the majority.”
