Abdul el-Sayed courted a sex offender for campaign support

Daniel Greenfield points to more chilling news about how Muslim politician Abdul el-Sayed sought the support of a sex offender:

“We need your voice,” Abdul El-Sayed told a sex offender who had been sentenced to prison for sexually soliciting what he thought was a 14-year-old girl online and then for “distributing child sexually abusive material and multiple counts of accosting children for immoral purposes.”

The sex offender had reinvented himself as an activist against incarceration and claimed that he had suffered, “I was only allowed to have the type of phone without a browser, and several times had my phone confiscated” and argued that the answer “is to address the root causes of crime… address the real problems… like education, lack of economic opportunity.”

“I hope that you’ll run, and I hope that when you do, you’ll find me out and let me have the opportunity to support,” Abdul El-Sayed endorsed his political activism. “We need your voice, folks who are affected by the experiences that you’ve had uniquely need your voice.”

One of the sex offender’s alleged former victims, said that he had “solicited me as a minor” and that he had “worked with Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed” and together with other politicians made it possible to expunge criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree and “removing rape from 17-24 year old’s permanent record.” The anonymous victim posted that “Abdul helped lead the decarceration movement. He was the president of the non-profit Michigan United.”

Abdul El-Sayed had served as the president of Michigan United aka the Michigan Organizing Project as part of a board with a number of Muslim figures including Aamina Ahmed of AAPI Rising, appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to head Protect Michigan, Senegalese immigrant activist Fatou-Seydi Sarr and Dearborn Magistrate Judge Rula Aoun. One of the organization’s missions was combating ‘mass incarceration’ and it was part of the Michigan Justice Advocacy coalition alongside Safe & Just Michigan where the sex offender worked as a lobbyist and argued for keeping sex offender registries secret and for allowing them to live near schools.

Michigan has one of the largest sex offender lists in the country making the threat worse.

It wouldn't be shocking if followers of the Religion of Peace comprised a considerable number of the violators. This is another example of how it'll be horrible if el-Sayed wins the election.

Tucker Carlson gives his backing to Abdul el-Sayed

The phony "conservative" news host is perhaps unshockingly giving his support to the Muslim senate candidate for the Democrats in Michigan:

Democrats may be dealing with a socialist insurgency, but conservatives have their own, different in scale, perhaps, but no less concerning.

Former conservative Tucker Carlson, who still commands a loyal right-wing audience, joined forces with Saagar Enjeti, a former White House correspondent for the Daily Caller turned right-wing commentator, to effectively endorse Michigan socialist Abdul El-Sayed for Senate over Republican Mike Rogers. The duo tore into Rogers as “the most pro-Israel neocon” in existence, as they also mocked him for losing Michigan in the same year Trump carried the state in 2024.

While Carlson accuses everyone else of being obsessed with Israel, it’s a topic he clearly can’t get enough of.

“He's basically a tool of Israel in the Intel agency,” the former Fox News host said of Rogers. “How would you run someone like that?”

I think I've heard enough. Carlson continues to be unbearable, and if he believes Israel's bad, then he clearly also considers the whole of Europe illegitimate too. An utterly disgraceful, overly obsessed man who should never have been a news host to begin with.

Update: making matters worse is that vice president J.D Vance won't disavow his "friendship" with Carlson.

The books Abdul el-Sayed doesn't want Black voters to see

Daniel Greenfield found information that Michigan Democrat candidate Abdul el-Sayed keeps books around his house that are offensive to Black women, and also victims of child rape:

Free Beacon reported that Abdul El-Sayed had told documentarians not to film his more Islamic bookshelf and the books contained their included ‘Dream Interpretation According to the Qur’an’ by an Islamic scholar named Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips who has some interesting views.

Philips, an unindicted terror coconspirator had promoted terrorism and in Abdul El-Sayed’s latest pedophilia scandal had “advocated that young girls are fit for marriage the moment they begin menstruating (which for some girls can begin as young as eight years old).”

Sneaking a peak at a copy of ‘Dream Interpretation According to the Qur’an’ leads to this rather ugly passage that had it shown up on the shelf of a conservative candidate would have quickly become a top news story.

Black Woman

Abdullaah ibn “Umar related that the Prophet said, “I dreamt that I saw a black woman with untidy hair going out of Madeenah and settling at Mahya’ah. I interpreted it as the epidemic of Madeeanh being transferred to Mahya’ah, namely, al-Jufu1fah.

The relationship between the black woman and the epidemic can be deduced from the word sawdaa (black), from which the words soo (evil) and daa (sickness) may be extracted.

That's one of the most horrifying things about the Religion of Peace and the koran: they consider Black women evil. And to think that el-Sayed may end up becoming a member of Congress soon! That only makes this whole repulsive scandal all the more chilling.

John Daniel Davidson still gives fishy signs, even if he now ostensibly takes up a legitimate issue, while other writers do a better job

The Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson, who previously wrote some very reprehensible screeds against bringing down Iran, and even attacked Israel, is now seemingly taking up a more legitimate subject, that being Islamic entrenchment in America, but he still gives troubling signs he's not grasping the full picture, or appreciating certain measures taken to prevent sharia law being imposed in the USA:

What might that look like in America in 2026, practically speaking? Well, Democratic lawmakers in Massachusetts recently introduced a bill to create a “Muslim Commission” to place Muslims in state government and influence policymaking. In addition to assessing programs and policies in state agencies and recommending new legislation, the commission will serve as a “liaison between government and private interest groups,” and accept private donations and grants.

On the local level, it means Muslim immigrant communities recreating versions of their home countries here in America. In Hamtramck, Michigan, the first Muslim-majority city in America, the all-Muslim city council recently voted to legalize backyard animal sacrifice over the objections of the non-Muslim minority. Sharia courts, which function as putatively voluntary arbitrage bodies on matters of family law, have in recent years drawn the attention of some Republican officeholders. Yet efforts to “outlaw Sharia” miss the mark, mistaking the effect for the cause. The reason Sharia courts are growing across America is because we have brought in a large population of Muslims that want to use them. Even El-Sayed has said he has an “obligation” to follow Sharia law until the day he dies.

While there's a fully valid argument that it's bad to allow Islamists into the country, that doesn't mean we shouldn't make efforts to pass laws to prohibit sharia courts, regardless of whether Muslims are in the USA or not. Same with laws to prohibit communism. And if Davidson, the same man who opposes toppling Iran's Islamofascist government, is against outlawing sharia, that's troubling, as is the following:

The results have been mixed, to say the least. The Muslims of Britain do not have the same priorities as the left-wing managerial class represented by the likes of Labour’s erstwhile prime minister, Kier Starmer. They also don’t necessarily conceive of themselves as ideologues making common cause with the left. Rather, they tend to view themselves as a distinct ethno-religious community with its own distinct priorities and commitments, not least of which right now is Gaza.

Indeed, the appearance of independent Muslim political candidates in Britain in the 2024 elections — candidates that might have once run under the Labour Party — was the direct result of the Israel-Hamas conflict. There were five such candidates, all of whom won thanks to large numbers of voters in their districts who say the number one political issue for them is the conflict in Gaza. They delivered huge upsets to Labour in areas that had long been secure. Elsewhere, senior Labour politicians in areas with large Muslim populations narrowly fended off pro-Palestine independent candidates and saw their majorities drastically diminished. Because a majority of British Muslims are more likely to have a positive view of Hamas than a negative one, it simply made political sense for single-issue candidates in 2024 to run on a pro-Hamas platform.

Is Davidson implying that fighting against a savage entity following the same Islamic doctrine as many other Muslim societies is wrong? Or that that's the only reason Muslims in Britain voted for Muslim candidates? Well that's disturbing, and there's something fishy about this, not the least being that he apparently buys into taqqiya that would imply Israel's the sole cause of their tyranny. Davidson is one truly naive disgrace.

Geert Wilders, writing on Breitbart, has a much better view of the situation:

The holiday season is not over yet, but it is time for some reflection. Those who have been travelling in Western Europe will undoubtedly have noticed how our continent is rapidly changing.

From Bergen, Norway, to Cork, Ireland, from Salzburg, Austria, to Florence, Italy, from Hamburg, Germany, to Perpignan, France, everywhere the number of djellabas, headscarves, even niqabs, has dramatically risen.

The media talk about heatwaves, but none of them dares to mention the demographic wave. Its effects on our economy (drained), our way of life (diminished), and our well-being (squandered) are profound. And while the heat will pass, the change in population will not.

Across Western Europe, Islamic radicals are increasingly asserting themselves. Women are intimidated. Jews face rising antisemitism. Homosexuals are attacked. Critics of Islam require police protection. Yet Europe’s political class refuses to connect the dots.

Our countries are rapidly Islamizing. Politicians, the media, the police are very keen to show off their “respect” for Islam. Is it respect or submission? In the Netherlands, Islam has already become the largest religion among people under-25. It is realistic to think that by mid-century, Islam will be the largest religion in the land – larger than Christianity.

We are already reaping the bitter harvest of this transformation. The Dutch government, once Israel’s staunchest ally, now takes the lead in advocating sanctions against the Jewish state. Our changing demographics, and its electoral repercussions, have prompted politicians of the left and centre-right to internalise the malevolent lie that there is an Israeli genocide going on in Gaza.

Our streets are taken over by neo-Marxist and Islamic extremists, staging violent demonstrations in favour of Palestinian terrorists and Iranian mullahs. Our traditional religion, our values, our national identity are being replaced. We are becoming strangers in our home, paralyzed by a fear to assert our national interest and back our allies.

While we stand at the precipice of a silent conquest, the ruling establishment keeps singing the praise of cultural and religious diversity. But if we do not halt immigration, we will soon be a mono-cultural society again. No longer Judeo-Christian, but Islamic.

Absolutely correct. And 2 Republicans from New York have warned about the rising influence of socialism in the USA:

Reps. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) and Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) are warning that socialist ideas are gaining traction among young Americans as the country heads toward the midterm elections, pointing to the education system, the appeal of “free stuff,” and the experiences of countries including Cuba, Venezuela, and the former Yugoslavia as they argue against bringing similar policies to the United States.

Tenney and Malliotakis discussed the rise of socialism and left-wing politics in an upcoming episode of the Republican Study Committee’s Right to the Point podcast. Breitbart News obtained an advance transcript of the interview ahead of its release.

The interview comes as both parties turn toward the midterm elections, with Tenney and Malliotakis focusing much of the discussion on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other socialist candidates.

Both lawmakers brought personal experience to the discussion. Malliotakis said her mother fled Communist Cuba in 1959, while Tenney said she grew up spending significant time in Communist Yugoslavia, later studied there, and worked for the Yugoslav consulate during the Sarajevo Olympics.

Malliotakis argued that socialist systems begin by gradually expanding government power through measures such as price controls and restrictions on individual freedoms.

“It is sort of the baby steps where they begin to implement changes. They begin to take away freedoms. They begin to ration things, to implement price controls that are very destructive to the economy,” she said.

She pointed to Cuba and Venezuela, arguing that policies advocated by Mamdani resemble policies implemented in those countries.

“They want to seize the means of production. They did that, particularly with the oil sector in Venezuela,” Malliotakis said. “They want to abolish private property rights. They want to have government-run supermarkets.”

It's vital to note that Islamism could be rising among young Americans too, even hidden in plain sight, and that too is bad. Also note that the government-run groceries Mamdani's opening are operating according to halal customs, and that's also very telling. And then, Bill Maher has an interesting observation on immigrants not assimilating:

During his “New Rules” segment at the end of the show, Maher said, “And finally, new rule: If you want the American Dream, you have to take the American values. There’s no bigger issue in electoral politics these days than immigration. And there’s no doubt, at least in my mind, that both sides went to extremes, Biden’s policy of open doors, and then Trump’s policy of broken windows. Now I’m on the page of America doing what it used to do so well, stealing hard-working, talented immigrants from around the world and making them Americans. But something has changed in the equation. Now most immigrants still want to assimilate, but some now have this other attitude of melting pot? F*ck you, you melt.”

Maher also takes issue with Zohran Mamdani's opening government-run groceries, which again reeks of communist tactics mixed with sharia:

Maher said, “He’s opening these city-run stores, grocery stores. I don’t think they have one yet, but that’s the plan, that will sell meat and bread and other items, I assume, for 30% below market rate. His quote was, the Mayor said, I look forward to the competition. May the most affordable grocery store win. Well, it’s not competition if you’re undercutting legitimate businessmen by 30%. I wonder who’s going to win. But who’s subsidizing that, who’s paying for that? I guess richer people, and that’s the plan.”

And then, as Josh Hammer at PJ Media says, electoral integrity issues aren't about Israel, but about Islam:

More than any political cycle in memory, the 2026 primary campaign season has been marked by frequent, and often hysterical, condemnations of the influence of the so-called "Israel lobby."

After the conspiratorial anti-Trump gadfly Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) lost his Republican congressional primary in northern Kentucky in May, he quipped about the Trump-endorsed former Navy SEAL officer who defeated him: "I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv."

Way to question the patriotism of a decorated SEAL Team Six veteran, Tom. Keep it classy!

On the Democratic side, the bogeyman du jour has been the America Israel Public Affairs Committee. Some successful Democratic candidates, such as Abdul El-Sayed in Arab-heavy Michigan, rode anti-AIPAC fervor to victory. And some losing candidates, such as the comically corrupt Cori Bush in St. Louis, blamed AIPAC for their rejection. In her concession speech, Bush vowed to dismantle AIPAC's "kingdom."

Your loss couldn't possibly be because you defrauded two federal relief programs during COVID-19, could it, Cori?

These (literal) losers are barking up the wrong tree. [...]

Last year, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia deployed the single largest sum of money of any foreign country — nearly $92 million — to lobby for its interests in Washington. Turkey was fourth; Israel wasn't anywhere close. In the two decades beginning in 2001, the kingdom — whose nationals included most of the 9/11 hijackers that same year — retained the single most agents registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (148).

Saudi frenemy Qatar, the spiritual and financial home of the Brotherhood worldwide, is routinely the single largest foreign funder of American higher education. The Qataris cut massive FARA checks to land favorable coverage with prized outlets, such as Tucker Carlson's cesspool of a podcast. The emirate owns a piece of the Washington Wizards and the Washington Capitals, and even a chunk of the Empire State Building.

And I thought it was bad enough Qatar may own a large share of the Shard office building in London, UK. If Massie - and Davidson - have nothing to say about Saudia Arabia's influence, that can say all we need to know about where they stand. People like the latter now stand as unconvincing in their alleged concerns over Islamofascism, mostly because they won't jettison their anti-Israel obsessions. And in the long run, that could be very costly.

Supposedly pro-Israel Democrat defeated by Abdul el-Sayed supports him despite his anti-Israel standings

The Democrats in Michigan held primaries for midterm USA elections, and somehow, it's just not shocking a Muslim candidate like Abdul el-Sayed would win, defeating an allegedly pro-Israel Democrat, Haley Stevens, in the process. But what's really head-shaking is that Stevens is willing to support el-Sayed in the upcoming Congressional elections:

Stevens answered, “Well, look, I don’t speak for Abdul, but I think he knows where I stood on that issue and where I continue to stand. I’m very focused on rebuilding the temple, where many of my friends have their precious children in day school. That was in my congressional district. It remains a serious matter. And I’m going to make sure that the voices and the folks who have been impacted all across Oakland County by that temple bombing and the voices of our Jewish community are heard, and I’m going to do that in the way that my involvement and participation in the American political process allows. Look, let’s be really clear, cause you’re relitigating a primary that’s over, it’s over. I said what I had to say, and I’ll — I stand by what I had to say, to be honest with you, and I believe Abdul heard me. But the deal is is that no American is my enemy. No Republican is my enemy. No Democrat is my enemy. We’ve got to cut this stuff out. We’ve got to start working together. We’ve got to start looking at this country as this beautiful, free place that we love. My views are going to continue to be on display. I’m going to continue to be in this party, speaking out against political violence, speaking out against antisemitic violence, and all forms of political violence and hate, absolutely. And, in the meantime, the competition’s still rolling. I think you guys in the media are going to be coming out to Michigan. This will be exciting. We know you love our state. That’s a good thing. Come and go to our small businesses. We need you there when you’re in town. But we’re going to do something special. This was a special, historic primary. We all know it. Everyone was calling it out, one way or another, that there was going to be a 15-point loss, and that wasn’t the deal. And that’s okay, that these guys had it wrong. And we just showed them the Michigan way, and that’s what we’re going to show you in November when we beat Mike Rogers.”

She may be employing stealth tactics, but when she says she's willing to work to defeat Republican Rogers, that's definitely telling. So what kind of "pro-Israel" Democrat is she anyway? If John Fetterman in Pennsylvania wouldn't back el-Sayed, Stevens shouldn't either. She's rendered her stance laughable and moot.

That aside, this is another sad indicator of where the USA's headed, now facing serious problems with Islamofascists running for public office, and who knows if anything will be done to prevent them from being able to retain the positions they're sadly bound to achieve?

Update: Fox News (via Front Page) reports that el-Sayed got funding from a certain very bad activist group:

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

That's also bad news. Similarly bad is who else in Congress is also supporting el-Sayed's campaign (also via Front Page):

Schumer spoke with El-Sayed Wednesday, calling it a “great conversation” and praising the former Michigan public health official for a “very, very strong campaign” that mobilized Wolverine State voters who hadn’t been involved in politics.

Schumer pledged to “do what it takes to win,” brushing off his deep disagreements with El-Sayed over Israel. Other issues — healthcare, the state of the economy and tariffs — matter more to Michiganders, Schumer added.

Once again, Schumer's proven himself to be as bad, possibly worse, than Stevens is.

Update 2: an Iranian woman who became a lawmaker in Belgium warns about the encroachment of Islam in Michigan.

Federalist writer Eddie Scarry lets his hostility to Israel poke through the seams

Here's another example of how the Federalist's writers are going downhill, as their contributor Eddie Scarry, in pretending neo-cons are truly the ones against J.D. Vance, goes so far as to attack support for Israel from the right-wing side, and perpetuates the RINO opposition to the war on Iran's dictatorship:

Worth slightly more attention is what Thiessen wrote this week in The Washington Post. Recall that Thiessen is the Post content creator and former George W. Bush speechwriter whom Trump, for inexplicable reasons that may be explained in the future, has reportedly been reading and consulting privately about foreign affairs. Thiessen took an opportunity on Thursday to continue the very obviously coordinated attack on Vance planned by a slimy mix of neocons, lazy Republicans, and Israel Firsters.

Evaluating the Iran war, which has grown increasingly unpopular, even among Republicans, Thiessen wrote, “Perhaps it’s time for the president to take the advice of those who have delivered him success in Iran — not those like Vance who have failed him.”

Thiessen blames the failures in Iran not on what certainly look like short-sighted decisions by the commander in chief, but on Vance, whose primary responsibility in the conflict has been negotiating its end with Iran’s leaders. That’s at least honest. But let’s look at what Thiessen says a real victory, without any negotiation, would look like.

He wrote that the war’s objectives are: “eliminate remaining [Iranian] leadership figures; further entomb Iran’s nuclear sites; take out Iran’s remaining ballistic missile sites; destroy the economic and energy infrastructure that provides the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with a financial lifeline, as well as key highways, railroads, airports and seaports by which the regime gets financial assistance from bordering countries; and demolish Iran’s remaining defense industrial base so it cannot rebuild its destroyed capabilities.” Then, with presumably a straight face, Thiessen said, “That’s it.”

Oh, is that all?!

Well, not really. Thiessen, perhaps to his credit, didn’t even pretend to hide the ball. Though having concluded, “That’s it” — just the complete decimation of a global energy supplier’s entire transportation infrastructure and economy — Thiessen went on to do the equivalent of, But wait! There’s more! He then said the U.S. would simply have to commit to keeping American troops just off the shore of Iran in perpetuity and “provide covert support” to Iranian rebels, in hopes that they might fight their own government. You know, just like they are now! Wait, that’s not actually happening, is it? Oh well!

Mr. Scarry ignores so much of previous research it's not even funny. He relies on reports from the otherwise shoddy AP Wire, doesn't pay any attention to the Tea Party Patriots research on the USA public's support for the war, and even ignores that much of the Iranian inhabitants are unarmed, making it difficult to fight against the Iranian government savages. If that's how Scarry's going to act, can somebody like that be counted on to fight against the Islamofascist regime being established in Europe? Or even the USA itself?

With this, the Federalist continues to send troubling signs they're not dedicated to freedom and liberty any more than say, Ron Paul, who was probably the role model for some of their more questionable writers. It's utterly head-shaking as it's sad they're becoming as overrun with phonies like Scarry, much like the Democrats are becoming overrun with Islamists and communists.

Why not say what that ideology is clearly?

Federalist writer Brianna Lyman argues it's not Zohran Mamdani who's the problem in the USA now, but rather, immigration of people who uphold the same kind of ideologies he does, which she curiously won't specify:

That said, conservatives still face a serious problem — it’s just not the threat Cruz and McCain are warning against.

The real danger is an immigration system that has imported millions of new residents and aspiring leaders (like Mamdani) who seek to fundamentally destroy the republic and replace it with the same kind of failed ideologies found in the very places these immigrants fled.

Mamdani is example No. 1: a Ugandan-born socialist whose politics are fundamentally hostile to and incompatible with the republic. An October survey from Patriot Polling showed just how necessary New York’s foreign-born population was to Mamdani’s winning coalition. The poll found he led among foreign-born New York residents with 62 percent support compared with just 31 percent of American-born support. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa had 40 percent and 25 percent support, respectively, among native-born Americans.

Mamdani himself has acknowledged that immigrants were decisive in his rise. He made a point of relating a conversation with one voter who said, “I just got my citizenship. And I’m voting for you.”

Mamdani then specifically thanked immigrants for powering his campaign during his victory speech: “We will fight for you, because we are you. Or, as we say on Steinway, ana minkum wa alaikum. Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city, who made this movement their own. I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.” He went on to assert that “New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.”

The speech was an acknowledgment of an electorate fundamentally transformed by immigration. America willingly imported foreigners who are fundamentally incompatible with the republic, and they make it clear through their voting patterns.

The part where Mamdani made use of an Arabic phrase is the closest this item gets to alluding to anything about the Religion of Peace. Gee, why exactly doesn't Mrs. Lyman have the courage it takes to raise the issue outright? How can even communism be opposed if nobody's going to make things clear? Why, what about Scientology? Let's not think that couldn't also be a problem.

This is another Federalist article that falls way short of potential, all because specific ideologies aren't named, and it's not enough to mention socialism either if you don't also make clear why Islam's a serious problem. Not that we should be surprised an online magazine whose own editor is a bad lot could water things down so laughably. For all we know, if the editor's a shameful person, who knows if he's even willing to advocate defending Europe if they're conquered by Islam? This is sadly a far different era than that of WW2, and if he won't support defeating Iran's Islamofascist regime convincingly, then we can't take his word at face value that he allegedly cares about Europe. Failure to clearly acknowledge Islam and communism being an enemy is another serious letdown.

The sad passing of Lindsey Graham

This week, a senator who was a good buddy for Israel passed on at 71. Donald Trump said about him:

He added, “He was a worker. He was really a worker. But, but he sounded great, actually. But he was, he was. He actually said he was tired, but he wanted to get the Save America Act. And I said, well, we’re going to get it done, Lindsey. We’re going to get it done. I’ll see you soon. We thought maybe we might even meet today. And then that was it. And that was, you know, around the time; it couldn’t have been much longer. I could have been his last call. I don’t know exactly, but I got a message about 1:00 in the morning from one of the people at his office that he had passed away. I said, you got it. I just can’t believe it. He was like a member of the family to me. It’s very tough.”

Trump concluded, “This is a big blow to the SAVE America Act, let me tell you.”

Also for Israel, sadly. Condolences to his family members. Graham deserved far better.

Update: here's a video of a moment of silence held in the Knesset in Graham's memory.

As the USA celebrates its 250th, socialism is sadly on the rise

Several years ago, there were people who said they didn't want to vote for a socialist in USA elections. Now, as the USA celebrates the 250th year, it sadly appears the negative view on socialism has tragically given way to one that's favorable:

Rep. Matt Van Epps, R-Tenn., told the Daily Signal he will introduce a bill on the House floor Thursday to reaffirm the values of the Declaration of Independence in honor of its 250th anniversary and in response to the sweeping rise of socialism.

“Socialism is antithetical to the principles of the Declaration of Independence,” Van Epps told the Daily Signal in a statement Wednesday. “The idea of private property and entrepreneurship is intrinsic in the Founders’ idea of inalienable rights. In reality, a socialist regime would undermine—not protect—Americans’ rights to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’” [...]

Schmitt told the chamber that America is forgetting the values that bind Americans to the Founding: “America’s deepest crisis is a loss of memory.”

“Only 28% of Democrats say they’re proud of America’s 250-year history,” he said. “Only 11% say America is the greatest country in the world. Only 27% plan to display the American flag this 4th of July.”

“That is a national forgetting made visible,” Schmitt warned.

Forgetting American values will result in the deterioration of the nation and the character of its leaders, Schmitt argued.

“A people that forgets its heroes will soon be ruled by men who despise them,” he told the Senate.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, who just won the Democrat primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, calls herself a “democratic socialist” and co-founded Columbia University Apartheid Divest, an organization that pledged itself to the “total eradication of Western civilization.”

The organization also posted “Marg bar Amrika” after American airstrikes in February that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Translated from Persian, the statement reads: “Death to America.”

Chevalier is projected to win her election in November and become a New York member of Congress. Her campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is truly horrific. Once, this may not have been considered a serious issue, but now, it's clear the USA does have a problem of socialists/communists as much as Islamofascists becoming accepted by the leftists in America, and dragging down the quality of life that way. Some could say the new communist movement in the USA is serving as a 5th column and aiding the Islamists that way. Worst, the problem can't be solved overnight. And it could get much worse before it gets better, if it ever does. Socialism has sadly taken hold, no thanks to Joe Biden when he was faux-president.

Update: and in a new poll, a majority of Democrats said they're fully favorable to socialism. Another sad sign where things are going now.

Socialism continues to have a terrible effect in New York, this time under Zohran Mamdani

3 Democrat candidates for Congress in NYC who were endorsed by their first Muslim mayor, Mamdani, won primaries, including at the expense of an incumbent who's reportedly pro-Israel:

Zohran Mamdani’s growing influence over the Democratic party was on show in New York City on Tuesday as three congressional candidates endorsed by New York’s democratic socialist mayor won closely watched primaries, while voters in Maryland, Utah and South Carolina cast ballots in primaries and runoffs.

Brad Lander, the former New York City comptroller who also ran for mayor last year before endorsing Mamdani, won his race comfortably, defeating the Democratic representative Dan Goldman.

Another Mamdani ally, Claire Valdez, a state lawmaker and former union organizer, defeated Antonio Reynoso, the preferred successor of retiring Democratic Representative Nydia Velázquez in New York’s seventh district, encompassing parts of Brooklyn and Queens. And in a stunning upset, the public defense investigator Darializa Avila Chevalier toppled Representative Adriano Espaillat, the powerful five-term incumbent who chairs the Congressional Hispanic caucus, in the state’s diverse 13th congressional district, which covers Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx.

What makes this additionally disturbing is that Goldman was attacked in a social media post by Poetica Coffee, which is reportedly owned by Uzbek managers, for his pro-Israel positions. The DOJ opened an investigation into this incident, but sadly, the damage is done in more ways than one, given that Mamdani saw success with his repellent endorsements.

It would definitely seem much of NYC's residents are now revoltingly in favor of both socialism, and Islamism, if what Mamdani oversaw says anything. This is another terrible defeat for 911 Families, and also pro-Israel advocates.

Even naturalized citizens have to be exiled if they commit offensive crimes

The USA Senate is looking for ways to deport naturalized citizens who commit severe offenses:

There are few remedies for removing foreign nationals who committed violent crimes, joined terrorist groups, or engaged in large-scale fraud after they became American citizens, lawmakers noted at a Senate hearing Wednesday.

Ken Cuccinelli, a former acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, pointed to two key cases that he said show the current law isn’t working, in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.

In March of this year, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University, where he killed Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, an ROTC leader. In 2017, Jalloh pleaded guilty to providing material support to the Islamic State. He was reportedly sentenced to 11 years in prison but released early after completing a drug treatment program.

“Despite his terrorism conviction, Jalloh was never denaturalized and deported. Under current law, terrorism is prima facie evidence of fraudulent procurement only within five years of naturalization,” Cuccinelli said. “Because Jalloh’s conduct fell outside that window, the government had no clear path to remove him. A brave American soldier died because of that gap.”

Cuccinelli brought up another example: Mirsad Ramic, a Bosnian national who became a naturalized citizen and lived in Kentucky before he was convicted last year of providing material support to the Islamic State terrorist group.

“We must act on multiple fronts, strengthen the front end, so adjudicators conduct meaningful inquiries, and every applicant is thoroughly tested for hostility to American principles,” Cuccinelli said.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., the subcommittee chairman, sponsored the SCAM Act, short for “Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation.” In other cases, he noted, naturalized citizens joined the Islamic State terrorist group or al-Qaeda or joined a drug trafficking cartel.

“If a man takes the oath of allegiance and then joins ISIS, the fraud likely began long before the battlefield,” Schmitt said Wednesday. “If the man swears attachment to the Constitution, then spies for a foreign country, the betrayal likely began before the indictment. If a man claims good, moral character and then steals millions from the American people, the lie may have been present at naturalization.”

He said his bill would make it easier to denaturalize and remove immigrants who naturalized in the country and then committed a felony.

“We need a serious nationwide denaturalization effort against fraudsters, felons, terrorists, spies, and anyone who obtained American citizenship by deceit,” Schmitt said. “If the government never revokes citizenship obtained by fraud, the oath becomes theater. The application becomes a game.”

In simpler terms, one could say what's called for here is a clear law making it easier to exile foreign nationals who commit severe offenses, and it's something tons of countries that want to remain civilized are in dire need of. We have to hope the GOP will make a serious effort to pass such bills through if they want to make the USA safer again for starters. Then, Europe will definitely need it next.

Democrats only want a women's museum that doesn't respect femininity

The Democrats opposed developing a women's museum because what the Republicans are proposing doesn't adhere to their repulsive ideas, such as men pretending to be women:

“House Democrats oppose a bill for a Smithsonian women’s history museum.”

This is not a sentence I ever expected to read.

Aren’t Democrats supposed to be the feminists? The champions of inclusion? The self-appointed defenders of the “disadvantaged”? And on top of that, they are the ones who pushed for the women’s museum to begin with.

Last week, the House voted on HR 1329, legislation concerning the establishment of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. Despite the Office of Management and Budget’s statement of support for the bill, it failed to pass the vote.

Initially introduced by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., the bill later became the subject of controversy after Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., added language clarifying that the museum would recognize biological women in its exhibits.

Apparently, complying with the actual definition of a woman makes you “far-right”; at least that is what a quick online search of Mary Miller will tell you.

Once Miller’s amendment was adopted, many Democrats who had previously supported the bill suddenly withdrew support—an unsurprising choice given the Left’s agenda. An American Women’s History Museum was acceptable only so long as the definition of “woman” itself remained, well … undefined.

In the final 204-216 vote last week, several brave Republicans actually joined the Democrats to vote against the bill. But this was because they rightly don’t see the need for a women’s history museum at all.

Even if a women's museum isn't the most important thing needed right now, the way the Democrats approached all this is still reprehensible, and makes clear they're not a reliable party for women at all. So when will any self-respecting women break ties with the Democrats for a change?

What was awful about Abraham Foxman

The former left-wing head of the shoddy ADL has passed on, and Liz Berney's telling what was wrong with his conduct, which unshockingly sold out to Islam, in example:

When I heard of former ADL (Anti-Defamation League) National Director Abe Foxman’s passing, I initially thought: this is a time to mourn. It seemed pointless and inappropriate to bring up the damage he caused to important efforts to combat Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred.

But a few days later, I received a mass email from The Focus Project (a group that ADL is a major member of) calling for “emulating” Mr. Foxman, including Foxman’s public opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressing Congress in March 2015; and Foxman’s condemnation of President Trump’s 2024 Madison Square Garden rally. That email changed the calculus. Mourn, yes. But it is immoral to remain silent about those actions that we must not emulate going forward, when certain groups say that we must emulate them. I’ll start the below list of “what not to emulate” with the two items mentioned in The Focus Project mass email.

Foxman posted that the Trump rally used “ugly hateful words against Jews and other minorities” like those that led to “the gas chambers in Auschwitz,” and demanded condemnation of the rally’s “blatant words of hate ,racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, misogyny” [sic] But Foxman cited no actual hateful words spoken at the rally. Nor could he. The rally was pro-Israel, with Jews openly wearing kippahs and waving Israeli flags. The crowd cheered, when, for instance, rally speakers such as former Mayor Rudy Giuliani said: “I’m on the side of Israel. You’re on the side of Israel. Donald Trump’s on the side of Israel.”; Congresswoman Elise Stefanik condemned skyrocketing antisemitism on college campuses; and radio personality Sid Rosenberg said that he just got back from Israel, and that Israelis love Trump and Bibi. Condemning a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish rally as Nazi-like should not be emulated. [...]

One of my first projects when I joined ZOA’s staff in 2014 was working to stop the Met Opera’s production and AMC’s planned broadcast of the antisemitic, anti-Israel opera “Death of Klinghoffer.” The opera belittled the Jewish passengers on the hijacked Achille Lauro cruise ship as small-minded materialists; contained libels that Jews get fat from the poor, cheat, exploit, pollute virgins, defame, break laws, and are idolators; glorified the terrorists (who murdered wheelchair-bound Jewish American Leon Klinghoffer) as “men of ideals”; and promoted outrageous lies about Jewish Israelis’ treatment of Arabs in 1948. Leon Klinghoffer’s daughters publicly spoke out that the opera exploited their father’s murder and was antisemitic.

I personally called AMC and persuaded them to cancel the planned worldwide broadcast of the opera. I also worked with a group of strong pro-Israel activists to publicize the opera’s antisemitism and to arrange huge protests outside the Met against its 8 live performances of the opera. We probably could have succeeded in stopping the Met’s live performances – but then Abe Foxman got involved. Foxman announced that the opera was “not antisemitic” – which severely damaged our efforts to stop the performances that spread antisemitic blood libels. To add insult to injury, in order to try to show that he was doing something useful, Foxman claimed credit for my successful effort to stop the AMC broadcasts.

Giving “kosher stamps of approval” to blatantly antisemitic productions is obviously something that should not be emulated.

It's bad enough Foxman would give telling hints he's a self-hater. But even worse:

When Yasser Arafat – the unrepentant murderer of countless Jews and Jewish children – was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for signing the Oslo Accords (which Arafat promptly used to rapidly increase terrorism), many people were appalled. Relatives of Arafat’s victims protested along with liberal U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer; Kare Kristiansen resigned from the Nobel committee in protest; ZOA president Morton Klein called the award “repugnant and revolting,” the OU called the award “offensive”; Likud party leader Netanyahu stated that “the fact that the prize is given to the person who invented international terrorism turns the prize into a farce,” etc. By contrast, Foxman stated that although he was not a saint, Arafat “earned the prize.” Similarly, in a televised debate against Mort Klein, Foxman asserted that Arafat “deserved and earned the prize.” Defending honoring monstrous terrorists is unjustifiable and should not be emulated.

I think that says all you need to know just what a monster Foxman himself was, and it's chilling to think how many more people like him could've been pro-jihadists. And what's so wrong in his mind with being "islamophobic"? He obviously never read the koran either, or if he did, made up his mind where he stood on its content. Foxman was a most repulsive man, and whether we should mourn that he's gone, that doesn't excuse his most offensive actions, which were clearly meant to undermine the USA and Europe as much as Israel. With his passing, it's to be hoped the ADL will dissolve along with him. Such movements as his should not be supported in any way.

Iran has hopefully agreed to surrender all remaining nuclear materials they still have

In what's hopefully a positive sign, Iran reportedly agreed to surrender their remaining uranium deposits:

Multiple reports have indicated that U.S. negotiators believe that Iran has committed to giving up its nuclear ambitions and its highly enriched uranium as a part of a broader peace deal with President Donald Trump.

On Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced that an “agreement has been largely negotiated” between Washington and Tehran. However, Mr Trump said that the final details of the deal were still being discussed and would not be made public at the time.

According to a report from the New York Times, citing “two U.S. officials”, the Islamist regime in Iran verbally agreed to U.S. negotiators that it would give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

Although exactly how the nuclear material would be removed from the country remains unclear, such an agreement would fulfil a longstanding and major aim of the White House.

While the Islamist regime has yeet to confirm any details and has a spotty track record of following through on its commitments, an agreement would also likely shore up support from Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill, some of whom have expressed scepticism about coming to any agreement with the Mullahs.

While this is a good sign, we also have to hope all totalitarians still running the store will be removed from any position of rulership, and will surrender their firearms too, and cease forcing women to dress in burkas.

Iran also has to surrender any and all funding they allocate for terrorist activities worldwide, which included, but was never limited to, attacks on Israelis. There's just so much evil Iran's mullahs led to over 47 years that will take ages to clean up. Even now, nothing's final in what Trump's announced, and serious vigilance is still heavily required.

Texas student received death threats after speaking out against Islamic indoctrination at school

A student from Texas told Congress he received death threats after he spoke out against Islamic indoctrination in his school district:

A Texas high school student told members of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government that he received death threats for speaking out about an Islamic group that passed out hijabs and copies of the Quran on a campus at Wylie East High School.

Marco Hunter-Lopez, a 16-year-old student at the high school in Wylie, Texas, a Dallas suburb, provided written testimony to the committee after being invited to testify about incidents he observed on his campus earlier this year. Hunter-Lopez founded the school’s Republican Student Club as a freshman student last year and told the committee he believes his group is treated differently from other groups at the school.

Hunter-Lopez told members his group faced myriad challenges from the school administration, which initially denied his club permission to operate on campus, claiming a “district-wide policy against political clubs” prohibited the establishment of his group. According to Hunter-Lopez, efforts to establish the Republican Student Club were ultimately successful after much back-and-forth with the staff.

The young student highlighted the disparate treatment the Republican Student Club received by campus administrators, saying, “Principals were caught taking down our approved posters while I was out of town. I have documented a timeline of specific instances of unfair treatment, including being pulled into the principal’s office, cornered, and talked down to. After we hosted guest speakers, the principal tried to impose new rules on the fly. My father even had to help create a guest speaker form to protect me as a minor.”

Hunter-Lopez told members about other groups faced with no such scrutiny. The teen testified about a large booth installed at the campus labeled “Islam” in the cafeteria. At the booth, Hunter-Lopez says four adult women were posted as part of the group he identified in his testimony as “Why Islam.”

The principal should be disbarred from ever working in education ever again. And of course, the Muslim group should be banned from operating on the school campus. Will Congress and Texas' own government do anything to prevent further Islamic indoctrination there?

And it goes without saying that to repeatedly encourage women to wear hijabs is offensive to women's diginity as human beings and humiliating.

Democrats may replace Eric Swalwell with first Muslim Congresswoman in California

Recently, the California Democrat Eric Swalwell was forced to resign over sexual assault accusations. But now, one can wonder if all this was planned as an excuse to elect a Muslim Congresswoman instead, specifically of Afghan background:

Aisha Wahab, an Afghan Muslim, appears to have the inside track and is holding the process ‘hostage’.

Five Democratic candidates running in the regularly-scheduled primary to succeed Swalwell for a full term have pledged they would not also run in the June 16 special election. Their hope is that rallying around a single candidate would ensure that person wins an outright majority in the primary and could be quickly sworn in.

But one Democratic contender, state Sen. Aisha Wahab, has not signed on, according to two people familiar with the document and granted anonymity to describe it. Having two or more Democrats on the ballot in the reliably blue district would all but guarantee the need for a run-off in mid-August, and the winner would not be seated until Congress returned from its August recess.

Wahab, who is also running for a full term, didn’t immediately respond to a text message seeking comment. She’s endorsed by institutional players including the California Democratic Party, Wieckowski and members of the state’s congressional delegation — Reps. Robert Garcia, Kevin Mullin and Lateefah Simon — but the large crop of Democratic contenders is nevertheless expected to dilute the vote.

The California Democratic Party would be a rather major ‘institutional player’ indeed.

State Sen. Aisha Wahab’s gender politics though make Swalwell look like a feminist.

Sen. Aisha Wahab, the first Afghan or Muslim senator, who had joined with her political allies to amend Senate Bill 1414 to protect those soliciting 16-year-olds for sex. Worse still, the process weakened the punishment for child predators.

What's chilling is that she's willing to enable child endangerment, which makes her worse in some ways than Swalwell. She's the kind of disgrace that Phyllis Chesler's spoken about in the past. And now, the Democrat party's taking steps to practically replace a considerable number of regular members with those of Muslim backgrounds. That's a telling clue to where they're going in the future.

Rand Paul sounding like his father by dismissing seriousness of Iranian threat

Senator Rand Paul, the son of the awful Ron Paul, is now sadly giving signs he's not better than his father:

Paul said, “The interesting thing about the War Powers Act is it’s misreported all the time. It’s misreported it as a reporting, requirement that after 60 days, the president needs to report. Well, people don’t read the whole War Powers Act. War Powers Act only says there’s three instances when a president can go to war, a declaration by Congress, use of authorization of force by Congress or an imminent threat.”

He added, “So really, the debate now should be is a 47-year-old conflict and imminent threat. Were there changes in their nuclear program that made this an imminent threat? And I don’t think the evidence is there that there was an imminent threat that would allow the president to go to war on his own.”

This is a disgrace and shame he's joined the army of underminers, because there was once a time when he'd made at least a few perceptive arguments, and now he's kowtowing to just what the Islamofascists running Iran would want to hear, along with anybody else who didn't give a damn about the threat of nuclear weapons in the Islamic world. I'd like to think the Kentucky populace who voted him into office would be willing now to vote him out, but I've got a bad feeling they don't care much either how naive and appeasing Paul's being. Which would explain how terrible situations like these come about, tragically enough.

USA Congress caucus against Islamic sharia grows to more members

Some good news about the size of a special caucus opposed to Islamic sharia in the USA:

The Sharia-Free America Caucus in the House of Representatives has reached 50 members. That’s nearly a quarter of the Republican House delegation. And it also shows the growing popularity of opposition to the Islamization of America within the Republican Party despite efforts by elites like Tucker Carlson to Islamize the GOP.

Back in mid-January, a press release by Rep. Keith Self and Rep. Chip Roy, who launched the caucus, noted that it had added 24 members in one month.

It’s now more than double that size.

That's great. And good to see the awful Carlson isn't succeeding in his sellouts to the Religion of Peace.

Geert Wilders says Europe may need America's help once again to stop the tyrannies it created

Geert Wilders, whose party sadly failed again to win full elections last year, has written for Breitbart that the USA may need to help Europe out of the horrific situation its modern overlords have long sunk it into:

Guess what the main topic of debate at the European Parliament in Strasbourg this week is. It is what the Euro-elites consider the most concerning issue of the moment: “State violence in Minneapolis and the rule of law in the United States.”

This is a typical example of seeing the speck in your brother’s eye while ignoring the beam in your own. The European Union is criticizing the rule of law in America, while there are indications that Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission has in the past two years actively tried to interfere in eight parliamentary and presidential elections on the European continent, including twice in my own country, The Netherlands.

That, however, is a topic not deemed worthy of discussion by the European political establishment.

Last week, the House Judiciary Committee of the U.S. Congress published a report about Europe’s decade-long campaign to censor speech. As part of its investigation, the House Committee issued subpoenas to ten American tech companies, requiring them to produce communications with foreign governments, including the EU.

The congressional report accuses the EU of aggressively using its so-called Digital Services Act (DSA) to pressure tech companies to remove social media content that the EU considers “disinformation,” which in practice has meant posts critical of the ruling European establishment.

Meanwhile, companies that do not comply with EU regulations are threatened with huge penalties. We have seen what the EU is capable of. Last December, X was slapped by Brussels with a staggering €120 million fine.

Guess what topic was off limits in the European Parliament this week? Indeed, Europarl was denied a vote on whether to debate the findings of the House Committee’s report or not.

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee thinks that in every European election since the DSA took effect in 2023, the EU has tried to censor speech. The House Committee fears this happened in The Netherlands (twice), Ireland (twice), France, Romania, Slovakia and Moldova.

The latter is not even an EU member, but as it is a neighbour of the bloc, Brussels seems to feel entitled to “address disinformation risks” there as well. Given that post-Brexit Britain is an even more important neighbour of the EU, there is no reason to suppose that Brussels is not capable of refraining from meddling in its elections, too.

I think what went wrong is that Roosevelt, if anyone, wasn't being altruistic when he had the USA military enter WW2, and never made any kind of case that Europe should adopt principles similar to the USA's Constitution at the time. Who knows, chances are things could've been different, even in Israel, and sadly, in the near century since, Orwellian forces did everything they could to make it harder for even the USA to fight against what's going on now. We can only there's people who're willing to battle back against what Europarliament's doing now. But recalling that sad poll news from earlier, who knows if the USA public will be willing to perform altruistically on even a topic like this?

An upcoming Congressional hearing on banning sharia in the USA

Janet Levy talks about an upcoming panel in Congress on banning Islamic sharia in the USA:

Whenever patriots rise to defend America from radical Islam, liberals dismiss them as alarmist or Islamophobic. Therefore, criticism is likely to increase after the February 10th Sharia Free America hearings of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. But not only is the threat real, it also grows stronger from apologists who insist that Islam is a religion of peace, even though Islamist groups openly swear by its medieval tenets of world conquest.

Fortunately, many House Republicans are standing against this growing threat. In less than a month, 26 representatives from 17 states have joined the Sharia-Free America Caucus, led by Representatives Keith Self (R-TX-3) and Chip Roy (R-TX-21). Their goal is to protect the Constitution and defend individual freedoms and the American way of life by passing laws to prevent sharia from invading our civic life and courts.

Read more. This is something that must also be taken to Europe, Africa, Asia and even Latin America, because who knows how much horrific influence of the Religion of Peace can be found in any part there? The time's come to deal with this properly, and the House hearings are just the beginning of what's needed.
