NOTABLE QUOTES

Glenn Reynolds contributor to the New York Post: “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.” This philosophy, announced by Brazilian President Getulio Vargas in the 1940s, is no longer just the favored approach of Latin American strongmen. It has become the openly practiced strategy of today’s Democratic machine. Laws that hamper Democrats are ignored. Laws that might be used to hurt Republicans are enforced to — and often well past — the limits of the law.

Dennis Prager contributor to PJMedia.com: I doubt that there is any national or religious group that produces the percentage of people who aid those who wish to hurt, let alone kill, that group as do Jews. When one observes Jews who defend those whose raison d’etre is the annihilation of the one Jewish country on Earth, you have to ask: Why are there no others like them? Were there blacks who defended slavery? Were there Armenians who defended the Turkish mass murder of fellow Armenians during World War I?

Kurt Schlichter contributor to Frontpage Magazine: So, why aren’t American Jews as a whole saying, “The hell with this, I’ll take the mean tweets and the lack of pogroms?” You would think that would be a simple calculation, prioritizing personal survival, but there’s another interest at play. A lot of Jewish Americans are very invested in being liberal. That’s who they are. That’s not just a political affiliation but an identity.

Bonchie contributor to RedState.com: I think Hirsi Ali is correct. What we are seeing on college campuses and in society more broadly is a crisis of purpose. Having rejected Christianity, people are left desperately trying to fill the void in their lives with something else. Atheism and “reason” were never going to be enough, and the far-left’s joining of Islam with oppression ideology has provided a new shiny object.

Ben Sasse President University of Florida: “I think the line is between speech and action. Uh, I’m a First Amendment zealot, and it’s a glorious thing that our first amendment gives us free speech, freedom of religion, press, assembly, protest or redress of grievances, our five glorious freedoms of the First Amendment. And what we tell all of our students, protesters and not, is there are two things we’re gonna affirm over and over again. We will always defend your right to free speech and free assembly, and also, we have time, place and manner restrictions, and you don’t get to take over the whole university.” . . . Our goal is not to arrest people, it’s to help them get into compliance with rules. They can protest, they can try to persuade people, but they don’t get to build a camp. Nobody, nobody else does either.”

FIRST AMENDMENT UNDER ATTACK

(Updated information) Revolver.news: Well, well, well, now we know why the uniparty is allowing pro-Palestinian uprisings: the GOP betrayed us AGAIN. . . .

When we start legislating ideas and thoughts, we venture into very dangerous territory. Making it illegal to draw comparisons between Israeli policies and Nazi actions, label Israel as racist, or accuse an American of prioritizing loyalty to Israel over the United States is not just a terrible injustice—it’s a blatant infringement on everyone’s First Amendment rights. Yet, that’s precisely what Congress, including some GOP traitors, is pushing through. And, true to form, the GOP is at the forefront of this new anti-First Amendment bill, all under the guise of “doing the right thing” and shielding society from unpleasant behavior. Just look what GOP Senator Tim Scott posted recently on X: […] This might just be some of the most dangerous legislation ever passed. And if it doesn’t seem like a big deal to you now, just wait until it’s turned against you or someone you love. That’s when the real impact will hit home. Here are more highlights of this draconian bill: MIA: This is the official definition of antisemitism that Congress will vote to codify into law today, and then use it to prosecute Americans for “hate speech.” It’s extensive on purpose. I’ve highlighted two sections that should scare every American and one that will just make you laugh: • Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel than their own nation: What if they truly are, but they’re here committing espionage or planning an act of terrorism on Israel’s behalf? The very first line of this definition puts our national security at risk. Also, what about dual citizens in Congress? That shouldn’t even be permitted in the first place, but now we won’t be able to say that. • Claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel: This will essentially outlaw verses in the Bible. Also, people have been referring to anything and everything as blood libel lately, and since that’s not clearly defined here — it could mean anything and everything. • Making claims about Jews controlling the government: I just find that one hilarious after reading through legislation that will make it illegal to criticize them. The entire thing is absurd and unconstitutional, but I just wanted to make clear how dangerous this legislation is. Far more dangerous than any “hate speech” that Congress is seeking to criminalize. […] Conservative pundit and popular podcaster Charlie Kirk is also pushing back hard on this unjust, immoral, and unconstitutional bill: . . . .

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & HIS FORMER TRUMP EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS & WH STAFF

York: When the judge gags a key witness for Trump’s defense

WHEN THE JUDGE GAGS A KEY WITNESS FOR TRUMP’S DEFENSE. The false bookkeeping trial of former President Donald Trump is now in its fourth week. This newsletter has pointed out lots of times, most recently last Friday, that while we know that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged Trump with falsifying bookkeeping records of a nondisclosure payment in order to commit or conceal another crime, Bragg still hasn’t revealed what that other crime is. It’s really the key to the whole case. Without the other crime, there would be no charges against Trump in this matter. The fact that we — and that includes the defendant — still don’t know what the other crime is is one of the great injustices of a felony prosecution that never should have happened. But now we’re getting an idea of where prosecutors are going.

Phillips: Key Witness Says Trump Did Not Personally Ask Him To Carry Out ‘Hush Money’ Payments

A witness in former President Donald Trump’s New York “hush money” trial on Monday appeared to confirm his attorneys’ claims that payments at the center of the case were legal expenses and that he was not personally directed by the former president to make those payments. Former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney testified Monday that payments that were sent to former attorney Michael Cohen were legal expenses, confirming defense attorneys’ arguments. “Michael Cohen was a lawyer?” Trump defense attorney Emil Bove asked Mr. McConney. “Sure, yes,” he replied. “And payments to lawyers by the Trump Organization are legal expenses, right?” asked Mr. Bove. “Yes,” said Mr. McConney. Later, Mr. McConney said that President Trump and Trump Organization official Allen Weisselberg never told him to log the payments to Mr. Cohen as legal expenses. “President Trump did not ask you to do any of the things you just described?” the attorney then asked. “He did not,” Mr. McConney replied.

Cohen: ‘Huge Problem’: Trial Expert Tells CNN Lack Of Evidence Could Lead To Trump Acquittal Even With Dem Jury

Jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn told CNN on Monday that the prosecution’s lack of evidence in former President Donald Trump’s trial so far is a major issue that could lead to a “not guilty” verdict despite the likelihood of the jury being largely Democratic because of the Manhattan venue.

Caralle: Revealed: Trump hush money prosecutor was paid $12,000 by Democratic National Committee for ‘political consulting’

The revelations regarding attorney Matthew Colangelo raises concerns over the perceived politicalization of the multiple cases against the former president – and specifically the first case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.

Colangelo, according to a Fox News Digital review of Federal Election Commission records, was paid $12,000 by the DNC on January 31, 2018. It was distributed by DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee in two separate payments of $6,000 on the same day. The description listed by the FEC for the purpose of the payment to the attorney is labeled ‘Political Consulting.’ […] Colangelo delivered opening statements in the criminal trial and questioned witnesses over the last three weeks.

The prosecutor left a senior role at Biden’s Justice Department to join Bragg’s office in December 2022.

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL

Rotter: The G7’s Latest Absurdly Ambitious Climate Pronouncements

The recent G7 communiqué on climate, energy, and environment policy is laden with the typical rhetoric and ambitious declarations that have come to characterize such international missives. Yet, beneath the surface of urgent calls and reaffirmed commitments lies a web of unaddressed complexities and overly optimistic goals that warrant a closer, more skeptical examination. The Triple Global Crisis: An Overarching Narrative The G7 ministers open with a sweeping narrative about the “triple global crisis” of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, further exacerbated by desertification, land, soil and ocean degradation, water scarcity, drought, and deforestation. They assert: “We reiterate our concerns on the gravity and urgency arising from the interlinked and mutually reinforcing global crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution as well as desertification, land, soil and ocean degradation and water scarcity, drought and deforestation which pose a global threat to sustainable development.” This passage sets the stage for the G7’s ambitious agenda, framing these crises as cataclysmic and implying a direct linkage with human activity, particularly through emissions and environmental degradation.

MRNA COVID-19 “VACCINATION” FALLOUT

(And in the U.S.?) Wolf & Kelly: Outspoken: “Amy Kelly/ DailyClout Reveal Canadian Reproductive Damage Crisis Post-2021”

Amy Kelly, DailyClout’s COO and the Director of the WarRoom/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Analysis Project, reveals a stunning analysis she completed of six million individual records belonging to Ontario citizens. The dataset is from the Canadian government, FOIA’d by two Canadian citizens; it represents medical billing codes from the socialized medical system in Canada. Kelly’s analysis of the years 2015-2019 versus 2021-2022, reveals catastrophic damage to Canadian men and women in categories related to reproductive wellbeing: rises in women with menstrual disorders and post-menopausal bleeding, and “genital disorders”; rises in miscarriage and partial abortion; damage to sperm; and rises in infertility. This is the first government dataset that provides a comprehensive “smoking gun” revealing that harms to reproduction followed the rollout in 2021 of the mRNA injection.

Revolver.news: Cuomo finally breaks down and admits vaccine injury. . . .

Brace yourselves for a shocker. Chris Cuomo seems to have had a sudden epiphany and is now spilling some hard truths about the COVID vaccine. It turns out Cuomo, who’s vaccinated, is dealing with vaccine injuries, and that’s prompted him to finally speak up. After years of us shouting it from the rooftops, Cuomo has now joined the ranks of the so-called “conspiracy theorists”—the very folks he once helped demonize during the “pandemic.” […] Even the New York Times is weighing in now: . . .

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Sundance: Read the Indictment Against Henry Cuellar to Understand Why Congress Never Challenges the Intelligence Community

There is a rather remarkable indictment against congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Texas, CD-28) that everyone should read. You might remember that Cuellar was openly critical of the Biden border crisis in the latter half of 2021. Approximately a few weeks after Cuellar was openly and strongly criticizing Biden, FBI agents raided his home. At the time of the FBI raid (January 2022), everyone noted the visible connection between Cuellar’s criticism of Biden and the launch of the DOJ investigation against him. The timing was just too convenient. Last Friday an indictment was unsealed. […] I would strongly urge people to read THE 54-PAGE INDICTMENT. What you realize when you read the indictment is exactly what we have talked about on these pages for well over a decade, the business end of American politics. Cuellar and his wife are a case study in how the average federal politician gets wealthy from selling their office. All of the DC politicians participate in this type of influence selling. There are ZERO federal elected officials who do not participate in this process. And within that dynamic, we find the answer to how the Intelligence Community exists to control all of the DC political systems without any checks in their authority.

REPUBLICAN U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY

Joondeph: Is Marjorie ‘Judas’ Greene Betraying Donald Trump?

Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus’s 12 Apostles. In the Garden of Gethsemane the night before Jesus’s crucifixion, Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin who eventually arrested Jesus. Jesus predicted this betrayal during the Last Supper. In exchange for his treachery, Judas received thirty pieces of silver. Could he have also been threatened? Who knows? The Bible says nothing about that.Modern day betrayals, particularly of leaders, occur via carrot or stick, reward or kompromat. For Judas, the price was a pocket of silver coins. For members of Congress, the price may be a do-nothing board seat, a cable news gig, or stock options worth millions. The stick may be revelations about personal indiscretions, financial, sexual, or otherwise. The same intelligence and law enforcement agencies that spied on candidate and President Donald Trump are almost certainly spying on elected officials, enlisting their support to avoid embarrassment to themselves and their families, or even legal consequences. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene may be the latest Judas Iscariot in the GOP circle (or noose) around Donald Trump. How so? I thought she was a solid MAGA Trumpster. I am rethinking that premise. […] She is deliberately playing a dangerous game. What are the implications of a Democrat-controlled House if a few of Ken Buck’s buddies also decide to abruptly resign “to spend more time with the family”? A Democrat-controlled Congress could declare Trump an insurrectionist and ineligible to run for President. They could stack the U.S. Supreme Court with four far-left justices, putting an end to free speech and the right of self-defense.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Mercado: Chinese scientists create mutant Ebola virus to skirt around biosafety rules – and it causes horrific symptoms and kills group of hamsters

Chinese scientists have engineered a virus with parts of Ebola in a lab that killed a group of hamsters. A team of researchers at Hebei Medical University used a contagious disease of livestock and added a protein found in Ebola, which allows the virus to infect cells and spread throughout the human body. The group of hamsters that received the lethal injection ‘developed severe systemic diseases similar to those observed in human Ebola patients,’ including multi-organ failure,’ the study shared. One particularly horrific symptom saw the infected hamsters develop secretions in their eyes, which impaired their vision and scabbed over the surface of the eyeballs While the experiment may spark fears of another lab leak, the researchers say their goal was to find the right animal models that can safely mimic Ebola symptoms in a lab setting.

Pope: EXCLUSIVE: Email Reveals Effort To Bring Chinese-Owned Firm Flagged As National Security ‘Threat’ To US Heartland

JobsOhio is a private economic development corporation funded by money from the JobsOhio Beverage System (JOBS), which has an exclusive 25-year franchise from the state of Ohio to sell liquor. The organization worked directly with Fufeng USA, the subsidiary of China-based Fufeng Group, to help the company find a possible site for a major facility in Ohio in May 2023. JobsOhio made overtures to local officials about possibly bringing Fufeng USA into their community just months after the U.S. Air Force stated that Fufeng USA’s plans to build a plant in North Dakota would constitute a “significant threat to national security,” according to an email obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

Kredo: Biden Admin Officials Coordinated With Anti-Israel Group To Isolate Israeli Jews in West Bank, Emails Show

Senior Biden administration officials have been coordinating since at least early 2022 with an outside anti-Israel group to isolate Jewish Israelis living in the West Bank, internal government emails show. The previously unreported emails show top officials at both the State and Defense Departments fielding concerns from Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), a human rights group that is highly critical of the Israeli government and has lobbied the Biden administration to cut off military aid to the Jewish state. At the time, DAWN sparked an internal push at both departments to stop American officials from engaging with Jewish Israelis living in the West Bank and other contested areas of Jerusalem. DAWN is leveraging its clout with the Biden administration to push fresh sanctions on Israeli military units for alleged human rights crimes, having provided the State Department with a list of Israelis to punish. DAWN’s anti-Israel lobbying campaign traces back to at least 2022, with the internal government emails shining new light on the level of access and influence it peddles inside the Biden administration.

Lazaroff: Israeli official to ‘Post’: ‘America wants war to end, we want to win the war’

Israel is committed to winning the war, while the United States wants the war to end, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post after the Biden Administration expressed its opposition to a major Israeli military operation in Rafah. “Americans want the war to end, and we want to win the war. And I hope that those two things can converge,” the Israeli official said. US President Joe Biden spoke of his opposition to the Rafah operation in his phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. The call had been preplanned, but it was held hours after the IDF began evacuating Palestinians from the eastern part of Rafah and before the IDF seized control of the Rafah crossing on the Gaza side.

WAR IN ISRAEL

Vespa: Here’s An IDF Officer Warning a Palestinian Civilian to Evacuate. The Call Is Horrifying.

The touted Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement collapsed within hours. You can’t trust or reason with terrorists. We’ve long reached this point in the discussion, but for those who are a little behind, the only way this war ends is when every Hamas member is dead. And yes, Israeli forces are dealing with a civilian issue regarding this military operation. […] Not that it needs to be said, but this undercuts every anti-Israel talking point spewed over the past few weeks. No one who commits genocide calls the people they want to annihilate and warns them to flee to safety.

Scheinmann: The War in Gaza Hasn’t Stopped Israeli-Arab Normalization

But a funny thing happened on the way to appeasement: a joint US-Israeli-European-Arab coalition united to thwart the first direct Iranian air assault on Israel in history. Iran launched a barrage of over 300 missiles and suicide drones targeting Israel on the night of April 13th. Only a handful made impact, causing no casualties and little damage. The coalition intercepted those that did not malfunction, mostly over the skies of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. America’s Arab allies had, in various ways, provided intelligence and allowed U.S. and Israeli planes to operate in their airspace. Jordan, which has been vociferously attacking Israel’s conduct in Gaza for months, even publicly acknowledged that it shot down incoming Iranian projectiles. When the chips were down, the Arab coalition held and made clear where they stood in the broader Iranian war on Israel. For that, Biden owes much to his predecessor.

Kupper: Israel launches rocket strike on Gazan city of Rafah ‘killing five’ after saying ceasefire deal Hamas accepted is ‘far from meeting’ their own demands: Terror group had agreed Qatar and Egypt’s peace proposal but Netanyahu’s officials slam move as a ‘ruse’

Hamas issued a statement earlier today saying its supreme leader, Ismail Haniyeh, had delivered the news in a phone call with Qatar‘s prime minister and Egypt‘s intelligence minister. But an Israeli official said the proposal that Hamas had accepted was a ‘softened’ version of an Egyptian proposal, which included ‘far-reaching’ conclusions that Israel could not accept. ‘This would appear to be a ruse intended to make Israel look like the side refusing a deal,’ said the Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. News of Hamas’ announcement sent people in Rafah cheering in the streets, hoping the deal meant an Israeli attack had been averted – but these hopes were shattered late Monday when Israel reportedly carried out intense air strikes on the city at 10pm local time (9pm British time). The strikes left at least five people dead, according to Rafah’s Kuwaiti hospital, which added that several more were injured. The area is currently the site of intense Israeli military strike activity, according to witnesses and Palestinian security sources. […] ‘The IDF is currently conducting targeted strikes against Hamas terror targets in eastern Rafah in southern Gaza,’ the Israeli military said on X.

On the third day of the deal, which will last a total of 126 days, Hamas will. . . .

Soukup: Marx Still Reigns Supreme. But Why?

Why and how did this angry, odious, insufferable fantasist become the intellectual lodestar for the global left? This week, with the global celebration of May Day and with the ongoing protests on the nation’s college campuses, it is worth remembering that the man who largely inspired both was a hateful, intellectually shallow misanthrope, remembered by history and admired by jesters and dupes largely because of his odiousness. The First of May is celebrated by socialists around the world, not specifically because of Karl Marx but to honor the anarchists hanged for the Haymarket Affair in Chicago in 1886. […] Marx is likewise celebrated these days in the pro-Hamas camps on America’s college campuses. The ideology of struggle expressed by the protesters is very much in the Marxist tradition. […] The question is why. Why is Karl Marx, of all people, so adored and admired by the world’s angry and disillusioned youth? He was but one of hundreds of thousands of 19th-century communists and but one of hundreds of leftist intellectuals and theorists of his era. Why him? […] The answer is complicated, obviously, but can largely be broken down into three primary contributing factors. First. . . .

The demonstrators – part of a crowd of 1,000 people – also added Palestinian flags to the 107th Infantry memorial at the intersection of East 67th Street and Fifth Avenue. The act of wanton vandalism was part of a ‘day of rage’ protest with those taking part showing no respect for the Stars & Stripes or the war memorial above. Only a few protesters could be seen in video footage, but a chant of ‘free Palestine’ could be heard in the background. The word ‘Gaza’ was spray-painted onto the base of the statue in both black and red paint. It’s unclear if police have made any arrests for the vandalism.

Jewish Americans are going to have to make a decision – the famously Democrat-leaning minority has a big problem because many of its fellow Democrats want them dead. That’s not an exaggeration – the chant of the Democrat’s left wing is not, “From the river to the sea, the Chosen People should be happy, safe, and free.” Kind of the exact opposite. These scumbag commies are so promiscuous with lies about the Jewish people like “apartheid” and “genocide” they ought to hand out rhetorical condoms on the many college quads these loathsome heirs of the Nazis have infested.

Kittle: South Carolina Agency: The Feds Force Us To Give Voter Registration To Foreign Nationals

s South Carolina law enforcement investigates allegations a state agency is handing out voter registration forms to foreign nationals, an agency official tells The Federalist that federal law has tied the state’s hands. Jeff Leieritz, a spokesman for the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, says the department, as the state’s Medicaid agency, is mandated to provide voter registration information under Section 7 of the National Voter Registration Act Of 1993. The information apparently goes out to everyone applying for the benefits, including foreign nationals. Section 7 requires each state to designate voter registration agencies, including all state offices providing public assistance, unemployment compensation, or disability services; state or local government offices; federal and nongovernmental offices; and armed forces recruitment offices.

The 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) required states to verify certain “information of newly registered voters for Federal elections,” according to the Social Security Administration. “Each State must establish a computerized State-wide voter registration list and verify new voter information with the State’s Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).” These requirements went into effect on Jan. 1, 2004.

21ST CENTURY LEFTIST (DEMOCRAT PARTY) INDOCTRINATION CENTERS

MacDonald: The People Setting America on Fire

An investigation into the witches’ brew of billionaires, Islamists, and leftists behind the campus protests. […] students are not the only, and perhaps not even the most important, faction active in the campus protests. As in the “mostly peaceful” Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020, “outside agitators”—professional radicals and organizers, black bloc antifa thugs, Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries, and Palestinian and Islamist radicals—have played a central role in organizing and escalating the campus protests, just as they have organized and escalated the wider anti-Israel protest campaign that began almost immediately after Oct. 7. This largely decentralized network of agitators is, in turn, politically and financially supported by a vast web of progressive nonprofits, NGOs, foundations, and dark-money groups ultimately backed by big-money donors aligned with the Democratic Party. The first hint that the protests are not entirely organic is their striking resemblance to previous rounds of organized far-left agitation, from the “uprising” of summer 2020 to the rolling antifa vs. Proud Boys brawls of 2016-17. The creation of “liberated” or “autonomous” zones on campus, for instance, is a hallmark of anarchist organizing familiar from Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone and New York’s City Hall Autonomous Zone four summers ago. Familiar, too, is the

Beauchamp: Age of Unreason

Last week, a disruptive “Free Palestine” protest broke out on my campus, the University of Southern California. As a philosophy major, I’m often curious to talk with people and ask them why they believe the things they do. So, I spoke with one of the protesters. He was outfitted in black jeans and a black shirt bearing the phrase “Free Palestine.” He wore sunglasses and a mask emblazoned with the flag of Palestine. He carried a large Palestinian flag. I suspect that he was a student, but I could not confirm this.

Stu X post: At the George Washington University Gaza Solidarity Encampment today, the protesters held a “People’s Tribunal” where they put President Ellen Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey, the Board of Trustees, @GWPolice , and many others on trial. Is it normal for students to want to hang their provost and chop the heads off of the Board of Trustees? “Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine”

He wore a dark hoody and an upside down cross on a chain around his neck as he stood in the corner of an alley doing his best to look tough and mean. He stood watch over the dozen or so pro-Hamas activists who had taken up unlawful residence in Boylston Place, a public alley that feeds into the sidewalk alongside Boylston Street, a major thoroughfare in downtown Boston. It was the fourth day of the encampment organized by Emerson College’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which took possession of the alley on Sunday, April 21, 2024.

Police finally went in on Thursday and what they found was truly disgusting. First they had to watch out because the radicals had spread soap on the floor, apparently with the hope that police who came in might slip and fall. Then they had to break through and take down all the barricades that had been erected by the radicals. […] The damage to the building has to be in the tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. They smashed glass displays, turned over and broke furniture, damaged the fire system, spread paint on the floor, and graffitied everything. The place was trashed. Police said it wasn’t even safe to now occupy because the fire system wouldn’t work. […] Among the graffiti messaging, “We want it all by any means necessary.”

Zarkhin: Portland police investigating claims of responsibility in arson fire that burned 17 police cars

Portland police are investigating a social media post claiming responsibility for an arson fire last week that burned 17 Police Bureau cars. […] Rachel Corrie was an American activist from Olympia, Washington, who died in 2003 while protesting the Israeli Army’s destruction of Palestinian houses in Gaza. She was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer and died.

ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

Sibarium: 13 Federal Judges Say They Will No Longer Hire Law Clerks From Columbia University, Citing ‘Virulent Spread of Antisemitism’ and ‘Explosion of Student Disruptions’

Led by appellate judges James Ho and Elizabeth Branch, who spearheaded a clerkship boycott of Yale Law School in 2022 and Stanford Law School in 2023, as well as by Matthew Solomson on the U.S Court of Federal Claims, the judges wrote in a letter to Columbia president Minouche Shafik that they would no longer hire “anyone who joins the Columbia University community—whether as undergraduates or as law students—beginning with the entering class of 2024.” “Freedom of speech protects protest, not trespass, and certainly not acts or threats of violence or terrorism,” the judges wrote. “It has become clear that Columbia applies double standards when it comes to free speech and student misconduct.” […] While 12 judges joined the Yale boycott anonymously, Monday’s letter marks the first time that more than two judges have said on the record that they will not hire graduates from an elite university.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: FEMINISM

Monday Edition: 1. Democrats’ Future Is Female

With the Democratic Party increasingly catering to well-educated women, it might be alienating men. (American Enterprise Institute)

Since the late 1990s, women have made up about 60% of the Democratic Party.

But the share of college-educated female Dems went from 13% in 1998 to 30% in 2022.
That’s made the party more liberal as a whole, and shifted its messaging and priorities.
The Democratic Party’s official website lists 16 different demographic groups it serves, but men are notably absent from this list.

Devine: Frat Boy Summer is this year’s backlash against an epidemic of arrogant, entitled women

Behold the “frat boys” unapologetically saving Old Glory, singing the national anthem, chanting “USA, USA, USA,” and rudely ridiculing the campus freaks who parade around in Hamas colors and barricade themselves in university buildings. God Forbid! They look like Trump voters. This display of irrepressible masculinity erupting in Gen Z is an affront to the grand societal feminization project of the left, which only has itself to blame. Frat Boy Summer is this year’s backlash against an epidemic of arrogant, entitled women who have been coddled all their lives and think they’re smarter and more important than they really are. It is a manifestation of the growing political divide between men and women that has been evident in opinion polls for some time. There is a 10-point gap on most issues between men and women. Young unmarried women, in particular, skew very left, while young men are becoming markedly more conservative. […] Women’s colleges: The current campus protests have showcased the narcissism of these delusional damsels on social media for all to see: . . .

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PROMOTE, GLORIFY, & NORMALIZE GENDER DYSPHORIA A MENTAL ILLNESS

Kuzma: Sexual Lobotomy

The nonbinary identity has opened a new market for carving up bodies in even more surreal and stunning ways than what has already become the insane norm. Expressing a nonbinary identity as a woman who is neither yin nor yang somehow now includes the elimination of nipples. (It could easily justify keeping them.) The resulting nipple-free look disturbingly departs from biological necessities. […] A “modern day Mengele” by her own admission, Gallagher has described the genital procedures she performs as “Frankenstein surgeries.” She opted for private practice rather than hospital affiliation, where medical oversight and peer expectations would view her social media activity and patient abandonment negatively. Having gone freelance, Gallagher is one of a handful of American doctors who perform high-risk genital surgeries that are not approved anywhere else. […] Recent estimates are that nonbinary represents more than one million Americans, most of whom are under 30 and female, and that number is rising. The nonbinary concept elevates nonconformity as an indeterminate identity—and that identity appears to be alive and morphing. Nonbinary can be viewed as Trans 2.0, upgraded to amplify identity in a new, edgier way.

Mackinnon: Breastfeeding charity ousts trustees who sought to exclude men from its services

La Leche League is a decades-old non-governmental organization present in nearly 90 countries whose stated mission is to help “mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education.”

LLL volunteers understand that breastfeeding is the most suitable source of nutrients for infants. Not only does naturally occurring breast milk help with human growth, it also helps stave off disease, accelerate immunity development, and aid in intestinal colonization. […] LLL’s U.S.-based board of directors recently informed the British wing of the lactation charity, which has over 70 groups across the U.K., that it must support “male lactation,” according to the Telegraph. Accordingly, the LLLGB must cater to transvestic men who seek to have infants choke back their nausea medication-induced discharge. The LLLGB was further informed that the charity’s use of the term “mother” might amount to a “roadblock” and that doubts over gender ideology were “harmful.”

Late last year, six of the LLGB’s 12 trustees […] The U.K.-based Women’s Rights Network said in a statement, “Let’s call this what it is. An organisation helping men who want to put their nipples into babies’ mouths, and suspending six trustees who rightly object. Babies should not be used to satisfy a male fetish. We applaud the LLL6.”

OTHER NEWS, COMMENTARY, OPINION

Prager: Sick Jews

I doubt that there is any national or religious group that produces the percentage of people who aid those who wish to hurt, let alone kill, that group as do Jews. When one observes Jews who defend those whose raison d’etre is the annihilation of the one Jewish country on Earth, you have to ask: Why are there no others like them? Were there blacks who defended slavery? Were there Armenians who defended the Turkish mass murder of fellow Armenians during World War I?

Poser: Genocide Enablers

Backing Hamas isn’t the first time the U.N. and ‘the international community’ have chosen the side of killers over their victims. April 7, 2024, marked six months since the largest genocidal mass murder of Jews this century; it also was the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the Rwandan genocide. Of the various similarities any rational person can discern between the two crimes, one stands out in its repulsiveness: Just as it was a generation ago, the United Nations is perhaps the greatest facilitator of genocide on Earth. The U.N. was established in 1945 as a means of preventing two things: a “hot” world war on the numbing scale of the Second, and the extermination of any group of human beings based upon their identity. Innovations in nuclear weapons technology made the first too catastrophic to risk (thus moot), but the U.N.’s responsibility to stop genocide, codified the year of Israel’s rebirth, still stands. Unforgivably, since that time, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide has never influenced the United Nations to stop any of the genocides which have occurred since the Holocaust. […] Perhaps the most stunning correlation between the U.N.’s abetment of genocide in Rwanda and in Israel 30 years later is its insistence upon ‘humanitarian’ support for mass murderers and their civilian accomplices.

Hunter: A Quick, Telling Little Internet Search

So, I wondered what contributions to human existence came out of Gaza and the West Bank. Sure, it had to be some great, important things to make a people so worthy of uprooting everything in life over. It turns out, there are reasons literally no Arab country in the world will take any Palestinian refugees, and it’s not that they’re all bigoted against them. Turns out, they don’t make the best guests. […] So, like I said, I looked up Palestinian inventions. Billions of dollars have poured into the hands of their leadership, it couldn’t have all been stolen, right? Sure, Arafat’s daughter is a literal billionaire living in Europe off what daddy, um, “earned” by walking away from an independent state, and the current leadership of Hamas is living in Qatar like platinum selling rappers, but surely some made it to the people and fostered innovation, right? Not so much. […] Fully 10 of the 17 things listed under “Palestinian Inventions” are weapons. . . .

Greenfield: Turning Schools into Voter Recruitment Centers

But the truly explosive part of the CTU’s demands though isn’t demanding six figure salaries for its union hacks while barely 1 in 5 of their teenage students can properly read, it’s a ploy to turn schools into voter recruitment centers. Chicago schools are already among the most politicized in the country, but CTU wants to go beyond ideological indoctrination and directly into community organizing and voter outreach. Illinois Policy reported that “CTU’s 142-page list of demands includes that schools ‘shall designate a day of civic action to assist students who are of age to register to vote and cast votes.’” CTU, which is already a massive taxpayer-subsidized voter turnout and electoral operation for Democrats, leftists and its own people, like Mayor Johnson, now wants to exploit the students who are the captive audiences in its classrooms to rig elections. High school students may not seem like especially fertile territory for voter outreach, but Illinois already allows 17-year-olds to vote in primaries and 16-year-olds can pre-register to vote.

Durden: How Ridiculous? Blade-Less Swiss Army Knife Debuts As Weapon Laws Tighten

In a world that is fracturing into a multipolar state, with risks of world war erupting in either Eastern Europe or the Middle East, continued threats of conflict in the Pacific, and the migrant invasion across Western countries, the company behind the iconic half-century-old fold-up tool, the Swiss Army Knife, will soon debut a blade-less version because of regulations. Victorinox Chief Executive Officer Carl Eisner told Swiss paper Blick on Monday that its Swiss Army Knife will soon be available without a blade due to mounting regulations in European and Asian countries amid a surge in violence. […] Pocket knives are rarely misused. And there’s reason to believe kitchen knives and machetes are being used in attacks across the West as a migrant invasion plunges this region of the world into third-world status.

Anderson: Dem Governor Kathy Hochul is forced to apologize after claiming ‘Black kids in the Bronx’ don’t know the word ‘computer’

The New York Democrat claims she ‘misspoke’ when she issued the highly criticized remark at an on-stage forum in California on Monday and, in a statement later that evening, said: ‘I regret it.’ She attempted to clarify the intent of her remark, alleging she was trying to highlight her focus on increasing economic opportunity for children in the Bronx, which has the highest rate of poverty in New York City.

Hammer: Ex-CNN reporter says she is ‘haunted’ after having dinner with ‘closeted’ Trump supporters who seemed ‘normal’

‘All were well-educated and successful in careers,’ Michelle Kosinski recalled of the recent dinner party that she described on X. ‘They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour ‘ the one-time NBC News correspondent continued, categorizing the Trump-leaning guests as ‘closeted.”But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures.’The 50-year-old who served as CNN’s White House Correspondent until 2020 went on to add how she was surprised by the revelation – marveling at how a ‘normal’ a group of people could support a politician she does not approve of. […] ‘One of the couples each attended top Ivy League colleges,’ the former CNN staffer wrote in a thread that has since been viewed 3million times. ‘But now that it was university time for their own kids, they were adamantly NOT letting them apply to any ivies. […] This dinner continues to haunt me. They all seemed so […] normal.’ […] In a post published in December 2016, she is seen schmoozing with her husband and the Obamas during her stint as CNN’s White House Correspondent.

(Whites cancelled) Hutchison: School districts slapped with civil rights suit over racially-organized ‘Affinity Groups’

A parental rights organization filed civil-rights complaints against two school districts in Colorado in the beginning of the month, alleging they discriminated against parents by race. Parents Defending Education (PDE) accused the Summit School District and the Greeley-Evans School District of racial discrimination through the creation of “affinity groups” for Hispanic and black parents, respectively, in complaints filed with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights. PDE argued the school districts were seeking to dissuade parents who were not members of certain ethnicities from participating in the affinity groups, which provide parents the opportunity to connect with one another and give feedback to the school district. For instance, PDE said Summit School District’s superintendent expressed hostility to parental involvement in education, particularly if they were in certain ethnic groups. “Summit School District has created an atmosphere where some parent groups are tolerated and others are not.

The State Department is in touch with the Russian government about the case, the official said, adding that the soldier has been given a pretrial detention until July 1.
