Vance continues to be a worry

As though it weren't bad enough that Israel suffered a dreadful election result, as did the USA, vice president J.D Vance continues to give signs he wants to take a negative path on Israel:

Vance’s wording — “change our relationship with Israel” — was awfully interesting, because it’s a suspiciously open-ended phrase: Moving closer to Israel would also be a change, yet somehow, I doubt that’s what Vance intended.

Fox News’ politics editor, Katelyn Caralle, also doubts it. She wrote, “A source familiar with post-election schedules said the Vice President’s X post today was made after a White House meeting on aligning messaging following Tuesday’s Republican bloodbath. Instead, [Vance] took control of his own response. One Trump official described Vance’s post as a rallying cry to the “new right” — a coalition of Republicans that align with Trump’s “America First” movement but believe the president is too aligned with Israel on foreign policy.”

JD Vance’s 2028 strategy is clear: He’s not looking to inherit Donald Trump’s MAGA movement. That’s why he’s not even trying to reunite it.

He’s building a brand-new movement — the “new right” — and it’s significantly closer to Tucker Carlson’s worldview than to Ted Cruz's or Ron DeSantis's.

And to date, Vance won't distance himself from Carlson. If this is how Vance is going to act, it's doubtful he wants to save Europe from Islam's encroachment, if at all. If he is planning to run for the nomination in 2028, that's very bad, especially if he wins it.

Update: Ari Fleischer and Brit Hume had a good response to Vance:

Republicans who supported the strikes are now criticizing the ceasefire. Ari Fleischer, who called the decision to attack “the right decision,” answered Vance: “The problem was not the Iran War. It was the ceasefire.” He said Vance had negotiated a truce that failed and left Americans facing higher prices with troops still deployed. Brit Hume said Vance had been “hornswoggled by the Iranians into a deal they would never live up to, and didn’t.” [...]

The polling argument needs scrutiny, too. Vance says an unnamed pollster asked former Trump voters what would bring them back: ending the war, addressing living costs, putting America first, and changing the relationship with Israel.

That last item in particular has a longer history than Wednesday’s post. Since June, Vance has repeatedly pointed at Israel when defending his Iran diplomacy. In July, for example, he told Joe Rogan that “certain people within the Israeli government” were behind “a literal foreign influence campaign” to “tank the very deal that I was pursuing.” On Wednesday, “change our relationship to Israel” became the fourth thing Trump voters supposedly want, on the word of a pollster he has not identified.

That pandering has an audience. Vance’s good friend Tucker Carlson has consistently cast the war as serving Israel’s interests while praising the VP. In a post viewed 95 million times in the campaign’s final days, he wrote that Netanyahu “needs this war” and praised Vance as one of two men in the administration arguing for a deal. Marjorie Taylor Greene replied to Vance’s post: “You should have listened to me and Tucker.”

Vance certainly appears to be courting that crowd, with an asset a vice president controls: his account of who is to blame. Not everyone in that crowd wants him, either. Nick Fuentes told his followers to vote for Democrats to punish Republicans and said on election night that the party must be rebuilt “with the groypers” and that “it cannot involve Trump, Vance.”

Hmm, wasn't Fuentes the same man disgraced columnists like Michelle Malkin ran around with once? Well he sure has shown his true colors alright. No wonder such a fiasco took place this month.

A sad loss for conservatives in the USA midterm elections

Somehow, this isn't shocking the Republicans would lose plenty and the Democrats would end up winning plenty this year. Which includes, perhaps more unshockingly, the victory of Muslim socialist Abdul el-Sayed in Michigan:

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed will defeat Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s closely watched U.S. Senate race Tuesday, projects Decision Desk.

The candidates competed for an open seat after Democrat Sen. Gary Peters announced last year he would not run for reelection.

El-Sayed, a Michigan native who will become the first Muslim member of the U.S. Senate, earned an M.D. from Columbia University and a doctorate in public health at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, though he did not pursue residency and therefore is not licensed to practice medicine. Rogers and other Republicans raised this history when refusing to refer to him as a doctor. He previously led the Detroit Health Department and the Wayne County Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services.

It's chilling to think of all the non-Muslims in Michigan who likely voted for this man. Mark Levin also brought this up:

The fact that a few million people voted for El-Sayed, despite his ties to terror-aligned groups, and actual such groups, Hasan Piker, and with full Democrat Party support, is truly shocking. If this doesn't alarm the rest of the country, beyond the borders of Michigan, we have a very serious problem. This illustrates a cultural malady that has metastasized due to a number of failures of our ruling class at all levels -- including immigration, academia, local-government zoning, etc. Most of all, the Democrat Party wants to turn our country into France.

That's one of the worst things about this election disaster. And what if it turns out bad "conservatives" like John Daniel Davidson also secretly voted for the Democrats? (Update: here's somebody at his Federalist site even quoting Vance uncritically.) Why won't it be the least bit shocking if that turns out to be the case?

As Pamela Geller notes, JD Vance has just made things worse by blaming relations with Israel on what occurred, and won't take responsibility for any influence he had in holding back firm attacks on Iran. Here's somebody commenting on how bad Vance is:

⭕️ All day long, we've been saying that JD Vance undermined Trump and threw him under the bus to appease the woke right, the very movement he wants to lead. The Woke Right rushed to defend him, and even Trump's own son broke ranks with his father to defend Vance. Now, with the latest Fox News report, our concerns appear to be vindicated. Vance is reportedly positioning himself to lead the disaffected New Right, even if that means breaking with Trump's foreign policy. Vance needs to resign immediately. He is a disgrace, a liar, and a major political liability to Trump's presidency. Instead of standing behind the president, he appears more interested in advancing his own political ambitions at Trump's expense. Absolutely astonishing. Somehow, it's always someone from Trump's own inner circle who ends up betraying him.

— Raylan Givens (@JewishWarrior13) November 5, 2026

If Vance is going to run for POTUS in the next 2 years, it'll be awful. But what's really chilling to ponder is whether a majority of Republicans will actually vote to nominate him the official candidate after what he's done? He's betrayed Trump, and now, he's lending himself to furthering the nightmares to come.

Update: and wouldn't you know it, the aforementioned Davidson wasted no time blaming Trump almost entirely for the election failure, right down to the following:

This was a war that no Trump voters were asking for in 2024. In fact they were promised the opposite: no new Mideast wars. That, and mass deportations were the two things voters wanted from a second Trump term. He betrayed them on both counts, launching the Iran war and doing too little on mass deportations. And the result is that voters, clearly perceiving the betrayal, have rejected Republicans everywhere.

Predictably, he ignores previous data indicating there were Americans who supported the war. He also ignores that Trump has gotten some 2 million illegals deported. All Davidson's doing, as a result, is suppressing info to serve his ignorant agendas. This is why truly, I want nothing to do with the Federalist anymore.

Does the Vatican consider Islam an acceptable successor?

Robert Spencer points to how the Italian Catholic management appears to be promoting Islam as acceptable, right down to how they're claiming the Koran is the "word of God":

Vatican News, which describes itself as “the news portal of the Holy See,” ran the story in Italian: “Countering the walls of prejudice: CEI and PISAI present ‘Fact Sheets for Understanding Islam.’” CEI is the Italian Bishops’ Conference, and PISAI is the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies. So what we have here is the spectacle of the Vatican and the Italian bishops taking it upon themselves to teach the world about Islam. Don’t hold your breath waiting for al-Azhar to issue fact sheets for understanding Christianity, and that’s likely just as well. The Holy See’s Islam material looks to be as biased, misleading, and inaccurate as anything one can imagine coming out of al-Azhar about any non-Islamic Faith. [...]

Secure in his righteousness, Zuppi continued: “Ignorance should have no place in our schools, yet, unfortunately, it often ends up setting the agenda. As a result, people feel entitled to pass judgment on others without truly knowing them. These fact sheets on Islam, created jointly by Catholics and Muslims, therefore serve as a powerful antidote to both violence and ignorance.”

Violence? Who is committing the violence here? Only Muslims, not Catholics. Yet the fact sheets don’t seem to spend any time telling Muslims not to be violent. Instead, “the eleven fact sheets go beyond common stereotypes.” That’s a relief! “The material begins with ‘What is Islam?’ and ‘A Brief History of Islam,’ covering faith and theology, the Quran as the revealed word of God, the emulation of the prophetic model, and acts of worship (‘ibāda’).”

Wait a minute. The Qur’an as “the revealed word of God”? Surely they’re teaching young Catholics that Muslims believe the Qur’an to be the revealed word of God, not that the book itself is actually the revealed word of God? That seems likely, but nowadays the spirit of ecumenical openness has become so all-pervasive that one cannot be sure without further clarification from the Vatican or the Italian bishops, and that was not forthcoming. Would anyone really be surprised if far-left, pro-mass migration bishops and other high Catholic Church officials endorsed the Qur’an as the “revealed word of God”?

After all, there is one notable precedent. Back in September 2014, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who at that time was Archbishop Emeritus of Washington and had not yet been disgraced, appeared to have converted to Islam, beginning an address with the Qur’anic salutation “In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate,” and asserting that “Catholic social teaching is based on the dignity of the human person… [and] as you study the holy Koran, as you study Islam, basically, this is what Muhammad the prophet, peace be upon him, has been teaching.”

If anything, this reminds me of when another writer at Front Page said the Catholic bishops council today would be opposed to developing a movie based on Betty Mahmoody's terrifying experiences in Iran, and if the information obtained this time says anything, one can only wonder if the Vatican considers the Religion of Peace a worthy successor/replacement for what they practice now?.Also note how no verses from the Koran/Hadith are quoted here, and that should make clear something's horrifyingly wrong with the picture.

It's clear the Vatican lost their way, and aren't qualified to comment on serious issues at all.

Europe needs to reconquer itself

Some history of the Islamic conquests of Europe in past centuries that can serve as important food for thought on if and how Europe can retake what it's lost in modern times: Undoubtedly, the specter of the memory of colonization weighs heavily on the European mind.

Recalling the doings of France in North Africa and Greater Syria, England in Egypt, the Middle East and India, Italy and Germany in Africa, the Netherlands in East Asia, Belgium in Africa and even Sweden has been a political and cultural heritage that has plagued their consciences, or, to borrow an image from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem: as an albatross about their neck hung.

The shame, uneasiness and desire to come to terms with that period and those deeds most probably have served as a rationalization for so many politicians, public servants, intellectuals and cultural artists who have either welcomed or approved of the demographic alteration of major European countries over the past half-century.

Whether it be a subservient attitude on the one hand, and on the other, an almost complete ignoring of the undeniable results of such laxness regarding the open-borders policies these countries have practiced, we are witnessing another stage of the ongoing conquest of Europe by the Third World, and foremost, by Islam.[...]

Islamic marauding forces reached and occupied parts of southern France during the 700s after the Umayyad Caliphate’s conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Arabs and Berbers crossed the Pyrenees Mountains into southern Gaul. Narbonne fell to Muslim forces in 719 or 720 and served as the primary military base for Islamic forces in France for nearly 40 years.

Nîmes and Avignon were also captured. Toulouse was besieged but held. Muslim forces marched more than 400 miles to fight at Tours in 732, though they were defeated on the way by the leader of the Franks, Charles Martel. It was Martel’s son, Pepin, who ended the Muslim presence in France in 759. France had been reconquered.

The better-known Spanish Reconquista, in which Christian kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula gradually reclaimed control of Muslim-ruled lands known as al-Andalus, took centuries—from 718 to 1492. In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella captured the Emirate of Granada and expelled and banished the Jews of their realm.

We can only hope the horror story now occurring in modern times will be reversed one day. But that also depends on how much anybody, even in Israel, is willing to help out.

Trump willing to broker a national unity government arrangement for Israel

President Trump's indicated he's willing to offer assistance in setting up the next government in Israel:

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in “pretty good shape now” after defying election projections and indicated he would consider helping broker a national unity government as Israel’s political factions struggled to assemble a governing majority.

Netanyahu’s Likud emerged as Israel’s largest party, while his governing coalition performed considerably better than several major polls had projected, strengthening the prime minister’s political position but leaving him short of the 61 seats needed to form a government. [...]

Asked whether he might become involved in efforts to establish a Netanyahu-led unity government, Trump said he had not previously considered the possibility but did not rule it out.

“I will take a look,” he replied. [...]

Separately, an American official told i24NEWS that Trump might wait several weeks before attempting to bring Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot together, potentially inviting both men to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

I'm okay with it. After all, serious damage was done during this election when you look at how much the Arab/Islamic parties got, and now, it's important to work together in order to improve anything.

Since we're on the topic, Netanyahu's also said that the election was stolen by the Arab/Islamic parties:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party complained on Wednesday that this week’s tumultuous election was “stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state.”

Netanyahu posted a statement formally attributed to his Likud party that said the election was distorted by “serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters.”

Likud said it was referring the case to the police and the Shin Bet security service, as well as Israel’s Central Elections Committee, backed up by “hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence regarding election theft in many Arab polling stations.”

The party said its evidence included “thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra’am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more.”

“This is a serious blow to Israeli democracy and the voting rights of Israeli citizens. The law enforcement agencies must act with an iron fist and in an immediate manner,” the statement said.

Likud issued another statement on Thursday referring to its election theft charges as the “Ra’amgate Affair,” a play on the name of the Arab-led Ra’am Party.

“This is an attack on democracy whose purpose is to lead to a foreign takeover of the Knesset, the Islamization of Israel, and the overthrow of right-wing rule in order to lead to retreat and defeat of the IDF in all arenas — and primarily Iran,” the second statement said.

Likud said a political “earthquake” was touched off on Thursday when the chair of the Central Elections Committee, Justice Noam Sohlberg, asked Shin Bet to investigate allegations of “foreign entities acting against Israeli interests” in the election.

There was a discussion on Channel 14 the other evening as to whether a Muslim mayor could one day be elected in Jerusalem, and that would be awful. That's why this investigation should be conducted, if the system is to ever be mended, because we can't have it being conquered via Trojan horses in politics.

Flavio Bolsonaro flees Brazil to USA

In another sad sign of how bad the situation is in the neo-communist regime Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva set up in Brazil, now Jair Bolsonaro's son Flavio has had to flee to the USA:

Flavio Bolsonaro, the Brazilian senator who lost Sunday's presidential election, has left for the United States instead of complying with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, two sources told Reuters.

His destination, arrival time, and asylum plans were unclear. The Trump administration has previously alleged that Flavio's father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, was a victim of judicial persecution.

Leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has accused Washington of colluding with the Bolsonaros to restore them to power. The departure threatens to deepen the rift between the Americas' two biggest countries by population.

Trump said Monday that Brazil's vote "looked like another rigged election," without mentioning the departure.

Bolsonaro and family have now been given visas in the USA:

Flávio Bolsonaro, defeated by Lula in Sunday's election, and his family have been granted US visas, according to a senior State Department official, after leaving Brazil for the US on Tuesday.

Two close allies told The Washington Post he feared arrest within the week, as he faces investigations over ties to a banker accused of misconduct and a man suspected of laundering money. By early evening, he was in the US, one said, without saying where. [...]

According to a confidant who advises the Bolsonaro family, Bolsonaro was terrified by the order to surrender his passports, issued in a criminal inquiry over alleged money laundering. The order bore the signature of Alexandre de Moraes, a Supreme Court justice who had presided over the case of Jair Bolsonaro.

When horrors like these happen, it's clear democracy is collapsing in Brazil, and we can only hope Trump's administration will do something to turn the tide. Lula da Silva is definitely a most repellent man, and is clearly setting up a communist dictatorship there.

Were Arab parties embraced while Haredi parties were demonized?

That's according to this op-ed following the sad results of the current election:

No one yet knows the actual election results, but one thing is already certain: Arab voters turned out in enormous numbers, with their parties projected to win a record number of Knesset seats. It is easy to understand the enthusiasm that has swept through the Arab public, particularly the Bedouin community.

Their leaders openly discuss their national aspirations. Mansour Abbas has spoken of the autonomous Bedouin regions he would like to see established in the Negev and Galilee. He has also declared that his party would work to prevent the demolition of illegally constructed homes in the Negev, while he and his fellow candidates refuse to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

But what drove voters to the polls was not necessarily those positions themselves. Rather, it was the support and legitimacy these aspirations received from leaders of the left-wing bloc, who made no secret of their desire and plans to rely on Arab parties to establish a minority government. Once the left gave those aspirations the green light, Ra'am and Joint List voters developed an appetite for political influence.

While these dangerous aspirations were granted unjustifiable legitimacy, another community was subjected to extreme demonization: the ultra-Orthodox. They became the punching bag of the left and of many who made the country's fate dependent on drafting ultra-Orthodox men into the military immediately.

The possibility of conducting a difficult but essential dialogue with a community that is an integral part of Israeli society and the Jewish people became virtually impossible. Yet relying on those who refuse to condemn Hamas somehow became acceptable.

If you listen to what Yair Golan's saying, yes, he chillingly wants that kind of reliance, and it's awful to think of what it'll lead to. But this still misses a valid query: did the Haredi riots of past months have anything to do with the results this time? There were several riots by leftists in areas like Tel Aviv, but some could understandably argue the Haredi riots were what drew vital attention away from more pressing matters like the Arab/Islamic parties spoken about here, and the anti-Israel positions they espouse. They potentially endangered innocent lives on the highways, not the least being children themselves who were likely to be in danger of vehicles. And of course, there have been other terrible deeds the Haredi community did that could've angered the public to the point where they might vote for left-wing parties, even though said parties seem willing to do business with the Haredis, so long as it seemingly doesn't affect them.

It's regrettable the article doesn't dwell properly on any bad deeds the Haredi community and their Knesset representatives did, because how are we supposed to forgive if we don't know what specific fences need mending? Making matters worse is that, if this article says something, the Haredi community didn't vote as much as the Arab/Islamic community did in the election, and for all we know, it could've been because their spiritual leaders told certain clans they shouldn't.

Downplaying the mistakes made by Haredi clans won't solve the problem, and it's sad the writer of this item doesn't actually focus on any said mistakes, since again, without that discussion, how are we to solve anything? We can only hope for now that the Haredi community's worst representatives will be willing to mend fences.

Israel's election takes place, and news from the USA's midterm election

For October 27, Israel now goes to the polls, and no telling for now what the results will be. All I know is that, if the party of Gadi Eisenkot comes out ahead, that'll be very bad.

Now, over in the USA, the midterm election's about to take place, and wouldn't you know it, the far-left film and theater actor Mandy Patinkin's backing Michigan's Muslim candidate Abdul el-Sayed in the Senate race:

Left-wing actor Mandy Patinkin is making his last-minute appeal to voters in Michigan with the odd claim that Muslim Democrat Abdul El Sayed is the only candidate who can assure the “safety of Jews.”

Patinkin took to his X account and posted a long message and a video flogging El Sayed’s candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Michigan on Friday and made the quixotic proclamation alerting voters that “Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it.”

“We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected,” the Princess Bride star continued, “where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.”

Of course, Patinkin seems blissfully unaware that America is not now and has never been a “democracy,” but instead is a republic.

He droned on about how the “courts are weakened” even though he supports the very party responsible for the unrelenting lawfare being waged to tear down the American system, and he wrung his hands over how “people lose equal protection under the law,” despite that he is pushing the same party which uses police, the courts, and the levers of government to oppress and jail those with whom they disagree.

He added, “That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.”

Patinkin is, of course, not telling much truth there. No “certain groups of people” are being targeted by the Trump administration. An illegal alien is not a certain group like Jews are a certain group. Illegal migrants are not a particular religion, or race, or creed. They are anyone breaking immigration laws by entering the country illegally. Targeting illegal migrants is nothing like oppressing “certain groups of people.”

Indeed, Jews should be incensed that the actor is comparing them to illegal migrants. It is an insulting and false characterization that belittles the racism and violence Jews often face.

Patinkin even attacked GOP candidate Mike Rogers, and resorted to classic cliches by implying the Republicans are doing nothing more than enforcing fascism. Patinkin's dhimmitude is repellent, of course, but the fortunate news for now is that it looks like more Jewish-American voters are now turning to the Republicans:

Republicans lead Democrats by 31 points among Jewish voters on the congressional ballot, according to a McLaughlin & Associates poll that points to a potential shift among a group that has long favored Democrats.

The poll found that 64 percent of Jewish voters backed Republicans for Congress, while 33 percent supported Democrats, pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin wrote in an article published by the firm Monday.

The result would mark a major shift from the large margins by which Jewish voters have traditionally favored Democrats, though pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin warned that the sample of Jewish voters was small. [...]

There have also been signs of a narrower Democrat advantage among Jewish voters in New York. CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said this month that the party’s lead among Jewish voters on the House ballot in the state had dropped from 49 points in 2022 to 13 points this year.

Well I hope the crowd that's now turning more to Republicans can make a differences on their part. I assume Zohran Mamdani's the reason for some of this, and also state governor Kathy Hochul's own dhimmitude. We can only hope the Jewish electorate in NY will also send a message to Patinkin they don't approve of his offensive mendacities.

Update: one of el-Sayed's staffers even acted as an apologist for the Muslim Brotherhood:

A staffer for Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed was caught on undercover video dismissing concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood, calling Americans “idiots” and saying he might even support some of the organization’s activities if he was more informed.

T.J. Wolfgram, El-Sayed’s independent and conservative outreach captain, made the remarks during a conversation with an undercover operative on October 15, according to video obtained by the Midwesterner.

Discussing scrutiny of El-Sayed’s family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, Wolfgram described the controversy as “so ridiculous” before offering his assessment of American voters.

“It’s because Americans are idiots,” Wolfgram said.

This is disgusting, and he even downplayed the problems with Hasan Piker. I've got an awful feeling Patinkin's aware of all this, which makes his apologia for el-Sayed that much more offensive.

TV producer doesn't want Adam Brody's repugnant viewpoints

The creator of Nobody Wants This on leftist Netflix has said she disagrees with star Adam Brody's obscene anti-Israel statements:

“Nobody Wants This” creator Erin Foster has responded to recent comments made by the show’s lead actor, Adam Brody, who accused Israel of “genocide” and called for a “Free Palestine,” by saying that she does not agree with his views.

Foster is a guest on an upcoming episode of the “Not Skinny but Not Fat” podcast, hosted by Amanda Hirsch. It will premiere on Oct. 27, but a teaser clip released on Thursday for the episode shows Hirsch asking Foster to share her thoughts on Brody’s recent interview with GQ magazine, during which he accused Israel of committing a “genocide” against Palestinians and expressed support for a “free Palestine.”

Brody plays a rabbi in “Nobody Wants This” who falls in love with a non-Jewish woman, played by Kristen Bell. The actor is Jewish but previously described himself as “not religious at all, a nonbeliever.”

“You know, it’s complicated,” Foster said when asked about Brody’s comments. “I think our work environment, our set is very similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing. And, you know, while I love Adam, I also disagree with him, and that’s okay.”

Foster then said she wants Jewish fans of the Netflix show “to know that I see you, and I hear you, and I understand how you feel.”

Well in that case, maybe she should dismiss him from the role, and hire another actor instead? In any case, the way it's written is unappealing, and I just don't see the use of wasting time watching it on a network that's already notorious for PC conduct.

Update: actress Tovah Feldshuh, who plays the star's mom in the series, also disagrees with Brody:

In an interview with the "New York Post" published Sunday, Feldshuh said, "to accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild. It’s right out of Hitler’s playbook. You take the victim, and you make the victim the perpetrator." She said such accusations carry particular weight within the Jewish community when they come from Jewish people themselves. She added that influential public figures who spread claims she believes are false could cause significant harm.

Feldshuh, 77, also expressed strong support for Israel. "I believe that the perseverance of the existence of the state of Israel is crucial to the well-being of the democratic world and of the free world," she said. "Of course, Israel needs the United States, [but] the United States needs Israel, believe me." She added that, in her view, the current political climate has brought opposing ideological extremes closer together, with socialism and antisemitism increasingly converging.

That's one of the worst things occurring today.

Ilhan Omar's fraud comes to the surface, and is her name really Ilhan Nur Said Elmi?

Recent investigations reveal the Minnesota Muslim Congresswoman was involved in fraud, appears to have faked her name, and even made use of crude music for victimology tactics:

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted a video Friday of herself walking beside a Minnesota lake with her husband, set to a Somali song the lyrics of which describe humiliating enemies and making them “suffer and cry,” according to a translation obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The 27-second clip shows Omar with her husband, Tim Mynett, accompanied by “Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya,” a song by Somali rapper Ilkacase Qays featuring singer Hodan Abdirahman. [...]

The Free Beacon interpreted the music choice as a swipe at Trump amid federal investigations involving Omar’s immigration records and financial disclosures. The outlet said it commissioned a certified English translation of the Somali lyrics. [...]

Omar’s post came less than two weeks after Homeland Security Investigations agents searched her Washington, DC, home on October 12. The Justice Department confirmed that investigators carried out a court-authorized search as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

Investigators are examining whether Omar or her late father provided inaccurate information on immigration documents. The inquiry reportedly includes questions about her birth date and whether she qualified to obtain citizenship through her father’s naturalization in 2000. Omar has denied wrongdoing.

A court filing identified her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” That wording does not, by itself, establish the longstanding allegation that she married her brother, which Omar has repeatedly denied.

Well this is very serious in terms of fraud offenses, though of course, her willingness to support anti-American and anti-Israel causes is what's particularly chilling. Hopefully, this investigation will result in Elmi having her citizenship revoked, and deported.

Islamic jihadism is still a danger

5 people were injured in a terrorist attack in Hebron, though the 2 culprits were eliminated:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the city of Hebron to be cordoned off and for the entire West Bank to be blocked from entry and exit starting on Friday morning, after five people were wounded in a terror attack in the area carried out by Hamas terrorists.

"I have instructed the IDF and security forces to immediately impose a closure on the city of Hebron and prepare for a full lockdown of all of Judea and Samaria, beginning today," Netanyahu said, adding that the IDF would be carrying out extensive waves of arrests.

"We will pursue Hamas terrorists and those who send them, wherever they are and at any time," Netanyahu said. "You have nowhere to hide."

The military had announced earlier that morning that two terrorists involved in the attack had been killed. The IDF and the Shin Bet are investigating whether the two terrorists were part of a small self-contained cell or whether their vast ammunition shows that they were connected to a larger terror cell.

There were no other terrorists involved.

Netanyahu also said that the military would be applying the methods used in refugee camps, with the IDF going house-to-house and dismantling the terror infrastructure.

The prime minister explained that the model would be used in Hebron, while it could be expanded to other cities in the future if it shows that it's an effective way to fight terrorism in the area.

"We also wish to make another promise: the Defense Minister and I have overseen the planning of a very extensive IDF operation in Judea and Samaria -- on a scale not seen since the Six-Day War. The IDF is prepared to carry it out; we will determine the timing, but it is coming," he added.

Even in an area like Hebron, jihadism is still a danger lurking, sadly.

Update: 2 soldiers appear to have been murdered in the incident:

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit cleared for publication that Staff Sergeant Ron Yonatan Roytman, aged 23, from Ashkelon, a squad commander in the Ari Battalion (775), Search and Rescue Brigade, and Sergeant Yuval Shai Svilem, aged 20, from Hod Hasharon, a combat soldier in the battalion, fell in combat during the shooting attack on Friday morning at the Judea Junction.

Three additional soldiers from the battalion were lightly injured. The soldiers were evacuated to receive medical treatment at a hospital, and their families have been notified.

Condolences to the families of the victims.

Ofir Winter is a left-wing plant

Mark Levin's got something to say about fishy election candidate Ofir Winter, who, despite his supposedly being a right-wing candidate, is only giving signs he may actually be a left-wing plant:

American conservative commentator Mark Levin attacked Amcha Yisrael Chairman Ofir Winter after the latter refused to withdraw the race for the Knesset, despite pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of the current coalition.

Sharing a post on X that claimed that Winter boycotted the other members of the right-wing camp, Levin, a close friend of Prime Minister Netanyahu, wrote: "This saboteur Winter looks like a plant by the left wing. Or he’s the biggest dumb*** of all time." [...]

The criticism comes amid mounting pressure on Winter to withdraw from next week's Knesset elections over concerns that his party will fail to cross the electoral threshold, potentially costing the right-wing bloc enough votes to prevent it from forming the next government.

The pressure intensified following Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz's decision to withdraw from the race. Religious Zionist Party chairman Bezalel Smotrich, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar subsequently urged Winter and other right-wing candidates polling below the electoral threshold to follow Gantz's example.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Smotrich met with Rabbi Eli Sadan, founder of the Bnei David pre-military academy and Winter's former rabbi, in an apparent effort to enlist his influence in persuading Winter to withdraw.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu publicly appealed to Winter to withdraw after dozens of bereaved families from the recent war published an open letter warning that votes for his party could jeopardize a right-wing victory.

"Ofer Winter, listen to the bereaved families, show responsibility and withdraw, for the sake of right-wing victory!" Netanyahu stated.

So far, he refuses to listen to reason, and if his party does end up costing votes for the right, he'll have to bear serious accountability for that. Levin's got some valid points.

Larry David may have gotten something right

The entertainer who co-created Seinfeld had some interesting stuff to say about the Democratic Socialists of America and the harm they're leading to:

In The View From Here (paywalled), David takes some fairly light shots at the DSA. It’s been a long time since Larry David was edgy and he isn’t edgy here. (To be fair, it might sound better as a standup bit than as a written text.) Like a lot of Democrat comedy that punches left, it acts as if the left is just foolishly naive, or maybe its punch lines are just dressed up in that ‘clown nose on’ defense.

Take the satire that bites at the end of that last sentence. “When the D.S.A. takes over, it will be our policy to close the jails and release all prisoners… People will be encouraged to give them a pat on the back, offer some words of encouragement, and maybe even get them to open up about their crimes. Imagine how upsetting it must be to know you’ve taken a life!”

Or take this ticker that Larry David bought to his own cancelation. “The D.S.A. has great respect for religious traditions. Because of our burgeoning Muslim population, we want to take all measures to give these people a strong sense of belonging in America. Along those lines, we’ll require that all Caucasian women wear a hijab on weekends in solidarity with their Muslim sisters.”

That may be satire, but it does get at what the problem is with the DSA now. And it's not just caucasian women whom they want to make wear hijabs. It's also Black/Asian/Latina women. So the question now is, will any women wake up and recognize what's wrong with the DSA?

Communist terror training camp lurks near Limoges

After a culprit in the destruction of the Limoges city hall was arrested, it's said there's a terrorist training camp for communists near the township, proving Islamofascists aren't the only ones proving dangerous for Europe:

A known far-left extremist on the French government’s terror watchlist has been arrested after the destruction of Limoges City Hall, as claims mount of a communist “terror training camp” operating in the countryside near the besieged city.

Far from an accidental conflagration caused by a rogue spark, French authorities now say the burning of Limoges City Hall was a planned operation by political extremists and is now being investigated by specialist counter-terrorism prosecutors. A new main suspect was arrested in a dawn raid Tuesday morning by specialist counter-terrorism police in Val-d’Issoire, a village north-west of Limoges, with the suspect allegedly being a known left-wing extremist, reports Le Parisien.

Identified by local newspaper Le Populaire du Centre as 34-year-old Hodei Docampo Ciarra, the Paris-born suspect is said to have smashed windows in Limoges town hall to allow access to the building’s cellars for the alleged arson team. The report states Hodei is “a committed environmental activist” with a criminal record.

According to Le Parisien, he is a known “ultra-left activist” with an ‘S-file’, a flag against his name on the national police computer identifying individuals from all extremist and terrorist backgrounds whore are subject to surveillance as a serious threat to national security. [...]

Others have linked the attack to a known core of ultra-left activists living in the region. French newspaper of record Le Figaro cites remarks by the Mayor of Cannes, free-market liberal French Presidential candidate David Lisnard, who spoke of the existence of “terrorist training camps” on the Plateau de Millevaches, a rural wooded area southeast of Limoges. Described as a “communist stronghold”, it is said that a whole network of radical activists, including foreign activists linked to ‘black bloc’ Antifa, inhabits a series of villages in the area.

These people are “training in urban guerrilla warfare” and acquiring “heavy equipment and weapons for attacks against the police” to wage war in cities, Lisnard said, calling on the government to “dismantle and ban all these small groups”.

If Jean Luc Melenchon ascends to power after this horror connected with his dark movement, it'll be an utter tragedy.

Update: both France and Italy have deployed military forces to contain and prevent more disaster.

Trump endorses Netanyahu

Donald Trump has announced his support for Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli election, which will take place next week:

President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection, describing him as having “been strong, brave, and brilliant.’

In a post on Truth Social, Trump addressed a letter to the people of Israel and warned that “if Israel has the wrong Leader,” which is someone other than Netanyahu, the United States will have to do the job of fighting Iran by itself.

“Bibi Netanyahu has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its 51 year old chant, ‘Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Big Satan,” Trump wrote. “What Country can survive when things such as this are allowed to be said, because eventually, they always end up being true?”

Trump continued, pointing out that “it would have been only a question of time until Iran would have put that ominous phrase into effect.”

“But they have been systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job,” Trump continued. “If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so. Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself.”

I certainly hope this encourages and convices the Israeli public to vote for Netanyahu's Likud party. It's also important for the future of Europe.

USA military's execution of Nidal Hasan won't be livestreamed

It appears that while the long-delayed execution of Muslim military murderer Nidal Hasan will go ahead, it won't be livestreamed as was originally planned (Hat tip: Patterico):

President Trump put an abrupt end on Thursday to questions about whether the Pentagon would really livestream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, former Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

In a Truth Social post, he said the public execution could serve as a deterrent but didn’t want to subject “good and well-meaning” people to the sight. Critics have also warned about the video becoming a tool for terrorist propaganda.

I suppose there's a valid concern there, so perhaps it's for the best if it isn't public. So long as Hasan is punished for his evil deeds, that's what matters.

Far-left riots in France lead to destruction of ancient Limoges city hall, and Italy's Milan also sees similar incidents

Jean-Luc Melenchon's repulsive communist party's machinations have resulted in the destruction of the Limoges city hall:

Local prosecutors said that at least 15 people have been arrested in connection with the riots that broke out in Limoges and the arson which destroyed the city’s historic City Hall.

The supposed demonstration against the cost of living and education spending on Saturday evening saw the destruction of Limoges City Hall, an 1883 Neo-Renaissance building designed to pay homage to Paris’s Hôtel de Ville.

Designated as a historic monument in 1975, the 143-year-old building was largely destroyed in a fire allegedly set by rioters who entered the building. Dramatic images shared on social media show the building’s tower collapsing amid the conflagration.

According to Limoges prosecutor Emilie Abrantes, police have made “more than 15 arrests” in connection with the fire and the riots, which also saw six police cars burned and multiple businesses in the city centre looted.

The Limoges-based Le Populaire du Centre newspaper reported that, according to a City Hall source, “the rioters entered through a cellar door beneath the council chamber. They reportedly threatened to kill those inside.

When the rioters threaten murder, that speaks volumes. It makes no difference what their ethnic/religious/ideological background is, they cannot remain in the country, period, and exiling violence monsters is going to have to become a serious issue to be brought forth.

And now, of all times, Macron's government actually has what it takes to blame the far-left for this terrible incident:

The French government has accused the far-left of stoking the riots that engulfed the nation on Saturday, resulting in widespread clashes with police, looting of shops, as well as vandalism and arson of government buildings.

What began last month as a small protest over teacher shortages at a school in the Créteil suburb of Paris has become a full-on national revolt, with various leftist unions and other organisations also taking to the streets in cities across the country on Saturday, with an estimated 550,000 demonstrators.

At a press conference in Paris, Minister of the Interior Laurent Nuñez said that unlike other protests, where rioters wait until the end of the event to turn violent, the violence on Saturday “started right from the beginning”, Le Figaro reported.

Nuñez specifically blamed the “radical left” for stoking the riots, saying that “groups of several hundred or thousands of rioters, clearly instigated by the far left, attacked the police,” leaving at least 60 officers injured. He said that around 400 people, mostly adults, have been arrested. However, the minister noted that “the day isn’t over yet.”

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu also pointed to “ultra-left groups” being behind the demonstrations and having “organised violence in several French cities”.

“Peaceful demonstrations have their rightful place in our Republic. Arson, looting, and attacks have no place whatsoever,” he said. “To those who clearly want to use these acts of violence as a ‘warm-up’ before the presidential election, I say this plainly: we will not be intimidated. No one will impose their political agenda through violence.”

Well this sure is audacious of them, after Macron went and made a faustian pact with them just to keep the RN from getting a real majority in parliament a few years ago. Did he actually think this was going to literally change their ideological beliefs and make them take up civilized lifestyles? Sorry, but this is coming awfully late, and now the country's paying a heavy price for Macron's irresponsibilities.

Making matters worse, the riots have now spread even to Italy:

The European anarchy has set the stage for a particularly disturbing scene in Milan, Italy, as one of Christianity's most recognizable landmarks became the backdrop for violent unrest.

Flames rose from makeshift barricades, fireworks exploded, and thick smoke filled the square outside Milan Cathedral, the magnificent Gothic church that has stood at the heart of the city for centuries. [...]

The violence erupted during a left-wing demonstration that drew more than 5,000 people to Milan. What began as a protest over high prices, low wages, and deteriorating public services descended into clashes between police and groups of masked rioters, some of them clearly North African immigrants.

According to Italian news reports, rioters hurled stones, firecrackers, and makeshift explosives at officers while setting fire to rubbish, street furniture, and barricades. Police responded with tear gas, water cannons, and charges.

Windows were smashed, shops closed their shutters, and tourists fled the city center as police fought to regain control of the square. ANSA reported that police officers were injured and approximately 20 people received medical attention in the area.

The cathedral itself was not reported damaged. But the spectacle unfolding beneath its spires was extraordinary. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the violence.

"Demonstrating is a right. Setting our cities on fire is not," Meloni said in a statement reported by ANSA.

The location makes the images particularly jarring. Milan Cathedral, known as the Duomo di Milano, is one of Europe's great Christian monuments. Construction began in 1386, and its elaborate marble facade and towering spires have become inseparable from the city's identity.

So now it's clear Europe is being plunged into a war that was bound to happen sooner or later, and who knows if anybody in the USA's willing to help them now, after all the horrific university and school indoctrination that went unchecked and uncurbed for many years? I don't believe even the shoddy Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson's willing to go to war if that's what it takes to put an end to what the Religion of Peace is resulting in (and Sean Davis is no better). I mean, where were people like these when Betty Mahmoody was trying to save her daughter from being turned into a hostage of Islam in Iran 4 decades ago? Some people may not realize it, but some of the worst enablers of Islamofascism came from within the conservative movement and put the keys in the ignition for the left to spread further. Those "conservatives" who aren't willing to fight for freedom have no business even commenting on the issues, period.

Update: sadly but predictably, a synagogue was also the subject of looting.

It would be good news if this is so

According to this news, 46 percent of Muslims would consider leaving France if Marine Le Pen's elected president, and they're not the only ones:

Nearly half of all Muslims in France say they would think about going into exile if sovereigntist candidate Marine Le Pen is elected President next year, with a massive one in five followers of Islam saying they would definitely leave the country.

French news magazine Marianne has published the findings of large sample polling conducted for them by Ifop that suggests a large proportion of the country would simply refuse to keep living peacefully in France if their preferred candidates don’t prevail in the April 2027 Presidential Elections. Some 46 per cent of Muslims in the 9,600 respondent poll — a large sample for European polls — said they would consider “leaving France to settle in another country”. [...]

Muslims living in France are not the only group who told the pollster they’d consider going abroad. Almost as welling to sit out a Le Pen Presidency were supporters of hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, who seems a credible candidate to make it to the Presidential run-offs against Le Pen, and whose party has been accused of stoking recent riots in France for their own political ends. According to Marianne, 43 per cent of Melenchon voters say they’d consider leaving France.

With his polling hovering around 17 per cent nationally, the results imply five and a half million leftists in France who would consider reacting to losing an election by moving abroad.

Wonder if the Melenchon commies would be interested in living in Muslim countries? Who knows, maybe they would, though some would surely move to Russia, for all we know, which has plenty of Muslims there already as it is.

This is certainly intriguing news, and for now, it remains to be seen how things will turn out.

Update: for now, what's terrible is the continuing riots, stoked by the "red-green alliance".

Barack Obama incites against Israel at Irish university

The leftist ex-president of the USA told anti-Israelists at an Irish university exactly what they wanted to hear:

Former US president Barack Obama said on Tuesday that Israel "took land off people and they were excessive," in reference to Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people throughout the history of the nation.

Obama made his comments while visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland, to receive an honorary doctorate from Queen's University Belfast.

In a conversation with journalist Susan McKay, the former president referred to the Palestinians' reaction to the Jewish people's exerting cultural and military control over the State of Israel by explaining that "those people understandably said, 'This is injustice, and I want my land back.'"

Something Obama completely obscures in this disgraceful tommyrot of his is the question of whether men and women who commit murder and rape deserve any kind of sovereignty and whether they deserve to be politicians and be recognized as "leaders". Obama's proven he hasn't changed a bit in all the years since he was president, and continues to spread anti-Israel libels in even worse ways than when he was in office. And the university in Belfast even gives him an award he doesn't deserve. Which only proves how these types of honorary degrees and awards only exist today for leftist causes.

Minnesota judicial system allows Muslim school shooter to post bail and exit prison despite severity of crime

Minnesota has another sad case demonstrating the chilling weaknesses turning up in the USA justice system (via Jihad Watch):

The accused gunman in a Minnesota homecoming shooting is out on bond while three more suspects are behind bars and a fourth remains on the run in a case investigators have linked to gangs.

Adam Abdihakeem Adam, 18, was released from the Hennepin County Jail after posting bond Saturday evening, according to jail records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

He is accused of shooting two teenagers outside Eden Prairie High School on Oct. 2, sending fans fleeing and forcing the football game to be evacuated.

Hennepin County court records show three of four additional suspects charged in connection with the fight and shooting are now in custody: Mahamed Ali Haji, 20, of Savage; Abdirahman Ahmed Jama, 18, of Minneapolis; and Omar Adan Abdullahi, 19, of Burnsville.

An arrest warrant remains outstanding for Musab Ibrahim Aden, 18, of St. Paul.

Investigators believe "all participants of the fight and gunshot are believed to be associated with gangs," according to the criminal complaint against the additional suspects.

Letting someone that dangerous out on bond/bail is only spelling more trouble, and simultaneously enabling the criminals to flee into the night. Minnesota looks to be even worse a place to live than California with these jihadists now on the loose.
