Daily News Roundup

NOTABLE QUOTES:

Auron MacIntyre contributor to Blaze Media: The Bill of Rights might hold a sacred place in the American civic religion, but if our rulers can throw their opponents into jail on a flimsy pretext, then the document is simply an artifact of a constitutional order that is already dead.

Collin Rugg, co-founder of Trending Politics on X: Forensic accounting expert Linda Miller testified to members of Congress this week that up to *HALF* of pandemic relief fraud was stolen by United States adversaries like China and Russia. Holy s***!! “Data on this is still being evaluated, but there are some estimates that half of the Pandemic unemployment assistance fraud went to adversarial nations,” she said, as reported by the Epoch Times. “The nearly $5 trillion in government relief spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, much of which was disbursed as direct payments to citizens, created the perfect storm for fraud.”

Revolver.news: [Republican] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell requested for CBS to travel to his office in DC so that he could visibly show support for the Biden administration spending effort on behalf of Ukraine, Israel and Gaza.  McConnell noted in the interview on the policy agenda for these priorities, he and Joe Biden are in direct agreement.

Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: The Biden administration chooses to make itself into a hostage and then rewards the hostage takers by giving them what they want. This defeatism all but ensures more of the same and makes the survival of Hamas all the more likely. Tehran has this administration’s number. It’s been badly compromised by Iranian agents who are inside our OODA loop and know how to snarl it and loop it back on itself so that nothing gets done. Israel has to break free of this Mobius strip because Biden won’t.

John Daniel Davidson is a senior editor at The Federalist: For those on the right, it’s long past time to understand and admit what corporate media are and how they operate. These outlets are not interested in reporting the news of what actually happened, or in shedding light on real events, and certainly not in exposing the truth and informing the public. By repeating Hamas propaganda they are effectively waging war against Israel, but they are doing so as part of a larger information war to advance their agenda in the United States. And if you think there will be a reckoning or any accountability for the lies they spread and the damage they cause, think again. There never has been, and there won’t be this time either.

Josh Hammer contributor to The Daily Signal: In the eyes of the “enlightened” world, every Jewish death must be closely scrutinized and “journalistic ethics” demands we “just ask questions,” but every claim of Arab death put forth by terrorist-run “health ministries” must be immediately accepted as undisputed truth. Curious, that.

Mark Tapson contributor to Frontpage Magazine: The truth is inconvenient to the agenda of what David Horowitz calls the unholy alliance of the Marxist left and Islamic fundamentalists. It is a Jew-hating partnership of radicals who have very different worldviews (such as on gender ideology) and yet they stand shoulder-to-shoulder when it comes to shouting the genocidal chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” That alliance is an existential threat to our very civilization, because Israel’s enemies are the enemies of the West itself. Victory for them against Israel is also a mortal blow to the West. Their agenda must be crushed.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Laco: Republicans reveal $200,000 DIRECT personal check from James Biden to Joe Biden they claim is evidence of Biden family’s influence peddling scheme

Republicans reveal a $200,000 personal check from James Biden to Joe Biden that they say is the strongest evidence yet that the president was directly involved in his family’s business dealings. According to bankruptcy court documents obtained by the House Oversight Committee, James Biden took money from his health care business Americore and sent it directly to his brother Joe Biden. The documents show that in 2018, James Biden obtained $600,000 in loans from Americore. James was able to receive the loans based upon ‘representations’ that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors.’

Breuninger: Judge fines Trump $5,000 for gag order violation after threatening him with jail time

A New York judge fined Donald Trump $5,000 on Friday after threatening the former president with jail time for violating a partial gag order in his civil fraud trial. But Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron warned that future violations will subject Trump to “far more severe sanctions” — including imprisonment.

Turley: The Trump Gag Order Should Be Struck Down

The imposition of a gag order on former President Donald Trump was overwhelmingly applauded by pundits and press alike. Journalists described the order from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan as “narrow” and “limited.” Most of them lionized Chutkan as an “unflinching” and “no-nonsense”  judge who would not tolerate Trump’s penchant for personal attacks and reckless rhetoric. However, this order should concern everyone who values freedom of speech. While the odds may favor Chutkan on appeal, this order should be overturned as overbroad and dangerous. For years, many of us have criticized Trump for his personal attacks on judges and opponents alike. Undeterred, Trump has continued such inflammatory attacks on “deranged” Special Counsel Jack Smith and the “biased, Trump-hating Judge” Chutkan. Smith has pushed aggressively for a gag order, even though one of the major issues in Trump’s campaign is whether the Biden Administration has weaponized the criminal justice system against him and other Republicans.

Alexander: In His Disbarment Trial, Trump’s Attorney John Eastman Discusses Alarming Findings of Wrongdoing from Official Reports About the 2020 Election

The eighth week of the disbarment trial of Donald Trump’s former attorney and constitutional legal scholar, John Eastman, wrapped up on Friday, featuring more testimony by Eastman and three of his character witnesses. Eastman discussed the evidence he relied upon when he gave Trump advice regarding what to do about the possibility there was cheating in the 2020 election, including official reports from the Georgia General Assembly, the Georgia State Election Board, and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s Office. Eastman’s attorney, Randy Miller, asked him about a November 13, 2020, report that the Georgia State Election Board had Seven Hills Strategies prepare about problems in the 2020 election, which Eastman said he’d relied on. It discussed the chain of custody issues surrounding ballots and the integrity of their transportation, lack of transparency, access for Republican Party monitors, and incompetency by election officials. California Disciplinary Judge Yvette Roland, who contributed to Democrats while serving on the bench, refused to let him discuss it. She also refused to let him discuss a report from Kemp about election problems, which he also relied on. It examined ballot images and found that many were incorrectly added, such as votes for Trump going to other candidates and duplicate votes.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

(SCOTUS agrees to take blockbuster First Amendment case) Hancock: U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocks order in Missouri social media lawsuit

The lawsuit was originally filed by former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry alleging the federal government colluded with social media companies like Twitter and Facebook to suppress the freedom of speech. […] Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented. “Today,” Alito wrote in his dissent, a majority of the court, without undertaking a full review of the record and without any explanation, suspends the effect of the injunction until the court completes its review of this case, an event that may not occur until late in the spring of next year.”

Howe: Supreme Court refuses to reinstate Missouri Second Amendment law

The Supreme Court on Friday refused a request by Missouri to reinstate a state law that bars police officers from enforcing federal restrictions on the sale and ownership of firearms that the state believes violate the Second Amendment. A federal judge ruled earlier this year that the state law is itself unconstitutional and blocked the state from enforcing the law. In an unsigned order on Friday, the justices left that decision in place while the state’s appeal continues in the lower courts. Justice Clarence Thomas indicated that he would have granted Missouri’s request, while two of his colleagues – Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch – wrote separately to clarify their understanding of the scope of the lower court’s order.

Barnett: This Long Plotted World Takeover Scheme Is More Advanced Than Any Normal Human Can Fathom

“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control. Do I mean a conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, incredibly evil in intent.” ~ Rep. Larry P. MacDonald (Note: Lawrence McDonald was killed (likely murdered) on Korean Air Lines 007, 1983, a few months after making this statement.) To begin, I will preface my remarks by saying that this is an attempt to explain in simple terms, very complicated financial and economic crimes being used against Americans, and also against the entire world population, in order to create and sustain total control over humanity. This is meant to manifest itself in the concept of one world governance, the ‘Great Reset,’ or the New World Order. This may seem a bold statement; it is not, but once you understand that everything that has happened over many decades is linked, especially since the plotted and premeditated false flag event called ‘9/11,’ you should be able to recognize the massive number of obvious connections that are incredibly evil. It has recently become more prevalent by mostly alternative news sites and bloggers, to put forth the notion that many are waking up, and that the people are winning the battle for freedom. In my opinion, this is just not so, and in fact is misleading, as false hope is the driving force of this thinking. It is evident that more are claiming to be against government tyranny, but absolutely nothing has been done to reduce or eliminate the power of the State at any level to date. In addition, . . .

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

Moodey: Carbon Dioxide Does Not Cause Warming

The climate-change scheme and net-zero carbon policy are based upon a false notion that carbon dioxide and other gases cause global warming. They do not. We don’t have to guess about this. We have empirical and scientific proof. I owned a Weights and Measures gas-physics test-and-repair facility and conducted tests. We learned gas physics from engineers at factories that manufacture gas-physics instruments. They must understand gas physics, or their instruments won’t work. How academia got this wrong: In 1988, James Hansen flip-flopped from “global cooling” to “global warming” being dangerous. Al Gore fed the fear with $22 billion in annual funding for universities and professors to study the matter. Hansen’s claim is a falsehood. People move to warmer climes for their health. Consider all the species, in the plant and animal kingdoms, that thrive near the equator, whereas none survives at the poles.

Yet, out of desperation for the money, professors  . . .

Center Square Staff: Research finds charging electric vehicles will increase Colorado energy bills

Coloradans’ average monthly electric bill will more than quadruple by 2050 if the state requires 80% of all car sales to be electric vehicles in the next decade, according to new research. A 34-page report, “Colorado’s Energy Future: The High Cost of 100% Electric Vehicles,” is the third of three reports by the Independence Institute and the Center of the American Experiment on the state’s energy status. The report said if the state completes a plan by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis to convert to 100% renewable electricity, all-electric residential space heating and light-duty transportation, Coloradans will pay $695.3 billion through 2050.

Phelan: Devastating risks of transitioning to ‘green’ energy: Mining for electric-powering minerals has left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted and 16 million acres of farmland ruined

Tens of millions of people — more than live in the entire state of Florida — are now exposed to toxic water runoff from metal mining, a new study has found. The report lays bare the devastating impacts that can follow a reckless transition to ‘green’ energy, compounding the ecological damage wrought by over 150 years of drilling and mining for fossil fuels. The researchers found that 23 million people worldwide, as well as 5.72 million in livestock, over 16 million acres of irrigated farmland and over 297,800 miles worth of rivers have been contaminated by mining’s toxic byproducts seeping into the water. This metal mining includes many so-called ‘rare earth elements’ essential to the manufacture of high-tech electronics, solar cells, wind turbines and all the batteries needed to store sustainable ‘green’ energy (and power electric cars and iPhones).

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday said that Hamas terrorists are refusing to allow U.S. citizens to leave Gaza, leaving them stuck in the area despite U.S. pressure to let them go. With up to 600 U.S. citizens estimated to be in Gaza, Blinken said, “To date, at least, Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing once again its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are – who are stuck in Gaza,” on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

China is aligned with multiple interests; and cunning Panda also supports the Biden administration end goal of a two-state solution in Israel.

Biden is Blocking Israeli Ground Assault on Hamas

Some are wondering why Israel hasn’t begun the ground assault on Hamas yet. The answer is in Washington D.C. After the Hamas atrocities, Israel went on a full war footing. 300,000 Israelis have been evacuated from front line areas and the IDF mobilized 300,000 troops. Those are people who are not with their families or working, some flew in from abroad. This makes Israel one of the most mobilized nations in the world. But it can’t keep that up forever. But instead of going in, everyone is waiting because D.C. and the EU want to hold off an assault on Hamas. […] And now that the U.S. and the EU have made it clear that they can stop Israel from taking out Hamas as leverage for the hostages, Hamas has no reason to release the hostages. Those hostages are the only reason IDF soldiers aren’t in Gaza City right now. Rather than securing their release, they’ve made them more valuable as hostages. What did Hamas buy with the release of two female American hostages? The conviction by D.C. diplomats that they can get more released if they just spend more time negotiating with Hamas.

ENEMIES OF THE U.S. INSIDE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION?

Krishanti Vignarajah: Meet the Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama Associate Who Will Resettle Palestinians in Your Hometown

The war in Israel may send a million Palestinians to America. Progressives are already calling for the country to open up its borders to these Muslim migrants. Squad member Jamaal Bowman said last week that the country must open up its arms to Palestinians. […] Jamaal’s call to bring in potentially millions of new Palestinian refugees is arguably even stupider than his fire alarm defense. At a time when our southern border records over 200,000 migrants per month, it may seem like the wrong time to invite more in—especially when they hail from a terrorist hotbed. But it turns out that terrorist sympathizers help bring the migrants here. It was revealed this week that Homeland Security asylum officer Nejwa Ali previously worked for the Palestinian Liberation Organization, a body designated by the government Ali works for as a terrorist group. The PLO press office she worked for was expelled from the country by the Trump administration. She went to work for the feds shortly thereafter. […] Vignarajah has kept up cozy relations with those in power. In 2021, LIRS hosted Secretary of State Antony Blinken for an event to promote refugee resettlement. Blinken made sure to inform the audience that he and Vignarajah had worked together at State: . . . […] Vignarajah’s tenure at the State Department working under both Hillary Clinton and John Kerry is interesting for a number of reasons. In order for refugees to be resettled, they must first be created, and few secretaries of state created more refugees than Hillary Clinton.

We know that the Biden administration has hired some very, very, very interesting people.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Rufo: Intersectionality Devolves

For years, left-wing intellectuals have treated “intersectionality” as an inevitability. The social theory, which holds that all oppressed peoples must join together to overthrow their common oppressor, has been an essential strategy of the Left. There is some truth to this theory. When the fortunes of the Left are rising, intersectionality seems like a juggernaut: identity groups get aggregated into the mass, internal conflicts are subordinated to the cause of liberation, and a policy of “no enemies to the left” shifts political life in favor of the radicals. But the aura of inevitability surrounding the intersectional coalition is an illusion moments of crisis can bring suppressed contradictions to the surface and begin a process of fragmentation. The recent Hamas terror campaign against Israel might become such a crisis. Following the attack, the foot soldiers of intersectionality—most notably, Black Lives Matter (BLM), the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and the academic “decolonization” movement—celebrated the militants who murdered civilians, raped women, and butchered babies. BLM’s Chicago chapter published a graphic lionizing the Hamas paraglider terrorists who killed innocents. The DSA blamed Israel for the terror attack against it, arguing that it was the “direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime.” Ivy League professors with expertise in “decolonization” called it a “stunning victory” and said that “Palestinians have every right to resist through armed struggle.” […] While the backlash against the radical Left’s support of terror is welcome, that support should not have come as a surprise. All of the groups have long promoted the violent “decolonization” of not just Israel but also the United States.

Richwine: Worse Than Illegal

The rule of law is not the only casualty of the border crisis, however. Less appreciated are the long-term effects of mass immigration that the crisis will exacerbate. Whether legal or not, large-scale immigration can cause profound changes in the receiving society. While not all of these changes are necessarily negative, immigration does have concerning impacts on the economic, fiscal, political, and cultural health of the United States. Let’s start with the economic effects, . . . […] . . . Biden’s border crisis will generate more clients for the welfare state—and perhaps more Democratic voters as a result—is one small result of larger political consequences that will be felt for years to come. Whether administration officials are consciously using immigration to boost their party’s support, or simply embracing the emerging progressive conviction that accepting immigrants is a moral obligation, the outcome is the same. If the millions of inadmissible migrants who have entered under Biden are allowed to stay and eventually obtain citizenship for themselves or their children, they may shift the American political spectrum leftward, making it more difficult for today’s conservatives to win elections.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS DEMOCRAT PARTY MEDIA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Powell: Beyond Orwell: The High-tech Lynching of America

Orwell described the scope of the totalitarian enterprise, noting in one section of 1984 that, “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” In 1984, Orwell wrote, “Who controls the past controls the future.” Orwell’s introduction of concepts and terms such as “newspeak, doublethink and thought police” are what we now experience as political correctness, misinformation, and cancellation. The analogs of “thought police” in 1984 are now the enforcers of political correctness and closed political narratives. As Orwell notes, “the whole aim of newspeak and doublethink is to narrow the range of thought.” Political correctness has the same goal and that’s why its adherents are so intolerant — seeking to silence, cancel, and delegitimize people with whom they disagree. As it turns out, social media and information technology have great power to narrow the range of acceptable thought. Google, . . .

Hammer: The Gaza Blood Libel and Netanyahu’s Test To Come

The Israel Defense Forces’ much-anticipated ground invasion of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip has not yet commenced, but the world’s attention has already begun to shift away from the single bloodiest and most catastrophic slaughter of the Jewish people since the defeat of Nazi Germany 78 years ago. The Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom, which featured the indiscriminate mass killing of babies in their cribs, whole civilian families shot dead execution-style, countless teenage girls raped, and roughly 200 more civilians taken hostage back to Gaza’s subterranean terror tunnels, was so barbaric that U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who previously commanded the war on ISIS, described what he saw while visiting Israel as “worse than ISIS.” Yet, while Jew-haters, conspiracists, jihad sympathizers and certain libertarians meticulously debated for a week whether the Jewish children slaughtered en masse in southern Israel were decapitated or “merely” tied up and burned alive, ultimately requiring the Israeli government to release grisly corroborative photos, the Western world immediately sided with Hamas propaganda—no questions asked!—when news broke this week of a deadly rocket attack on a hospital in Gaza. In the eyes of the “enlightened” world, every Jewish death must be closely scrutinized and “journalistic ethics” demands we “just ask questions,” but every claim of Arab death put forth by terrorist-run “health ministries” must be immediately accepted as undisputed truth. Curious, that.

Berrein: Son Of Hamas Co-Founder: Israel ‘Doing The Palestinian People The Greatest Favor’ By Eliminating Hamas

The Palestinian son of a Hamas co-founder — who later converted to Christianity — stated that Israel is “doing the Palestinian people the greatest favor by bringing Hamas down.” Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, spoke with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade. “I was born at the heart of Hamas leadership and I know them very well,” he recalled. “They don’t care for the Palestinian people. They don’t regard human life. I saw their brutality first-hand back in 1996 when I spent about a year and a half in Megiddo prison. They killed so many Palestinian people at that time. This is when I decided I cannot be together with this movement.” “In fact, I asked myself a question: What if they become a ruling party at some point? What will they do?”

(10/22/23) Johnson: LIVE FROM TEL AVIV

I have heard from many Power Line readers who appreciate the regular appearance of IDF Lt. Colonel Jonathan Conricus here on the status of the war. However, he has not recorded an update from Tel Aviv this morning. He has posted brief personal reflections from the conclusion of an interview with CNN (below).

The IDF Yahalom Unit continues to collect explosives and weapons of Hamas terrorists used for the October 7 massacre. Soldiers discovered a child’s school bag laying in a field. The bag was booby-trapped, containing a remote-activated explosive device—weighing 7 kg. Hamas purposefully chose to booby-trap a child’s backpack with the hope a well-intentioned civilian would pick it up.

The report stated that following this discovery, the Israeli foreign ministry issued a diplomatic cable titled “Hamas Intent to Use Chemical Weapons” to Israeli embassies worldwide. The message instructed the respective ambassadors to privately inform their host countries about this development because Hamas wants “to conduct attacks in a similar way that ISIS tried to do.”

Revolver.news: Shock poll: Majority of American 18-24 year olds think Hamas slaughter of 1,200 Israeli civilians justified…

The discrepancy between the 18–24 demographic and the 65+ demographic is truly remarkable. While 51% of the 18–24 demo say the attack could be justified, only 9% of the 65+ demographic believe this.

[Dems & MSM don’t call it an insurrection) O’Neil: Photo From Anti-Israel Protest That Took Over House Office Building Suggests SPLC May Have Helped Organize It

The Southern Poverty Law Center has long played the role of ideological enforcer, branding conservative critics of the Left’s ideology “haters” on the level of the Ku Klux Klan. But recently, the SPLC increasingly appears to also have boots on the ground at leftist protests that skirt the boundaries of the law.

The SPLC has a long history of carrying water for Antifa rioters, but this year, one of the organization’s own lawyers got arrested for domestic terrorism at an Antifa riot in Atlanta. Now, it seems another SPLC lawyer may have helped organize the arguably anti-Israel protest on Wednesday that occupied the rotunda of one of the buildings on Capitol Hill that houses offices of members of Congress, the Cannon House Office Building. Large crowds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered to demand a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist organization that runs the government in the Gaza Strip.

[…] The protesters took over the Cannon rotunda, demanding a cease-fire. Police had erected fencing around the U.S. Capitol complex but protesters worked their way into the Cannon building. They sat down, holding banners reading, “Ceasefire,” “Let Gaza live,” and “Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.”

BlazeTV Staff: Did Rashida Tlaib lead an ‘INSURRECTION’ on Capitol grounds?

January 6 has remained an obsession of politicians on the left, but it appears a new January 6 has emerged. A mob of protestors stormed a building on Capitol Hill and disrupted official proceedings. However, because the protestors were egged on by left-wing politicians like Rashia Tlaib, Glenn Beck doubts anything will be done. “In this case, nothing will happen because it’s not Donald Trump,” Glenn says. Before the “insurrection,” Tlaib is captured on video spouting lies about the hospital bombing in Gaza before appearing to threaten the president. […] “So, Rashida Tlaib, is anything going to happen? Is anything going to happen to her? Is she going to be impeached for inciting an insurrection, anything?” Glenn asks.

Kerr: Inside Black Lives Matter’s Long History With Hamas-Friendly Activists

Black Lives Matter chapters across the country made waves last week when they excused and explained away Hamas’s attack on Israel. A coalition of 26 local chapters called the attacks a “desperate act of self-defense.” The Chicago chapter shared an image glorifying Hamas gunmen on paragliders, before walking it back amid blowback. And the movement’s Phoenix branch praised Hamas “freedom fighters” for their acts of “resistance.” Echoing this rhetoric are two Hamas-friendly groups—American Muslims for Palestine and the Council for American-Islamic Relations—that have for nearly a decade worked arm-in-arm with the Black Lives Matter organization to plan rallies and lobby lawmakers. The groups are united by an “oppressed-oppressor narrative that helps them destroy society,” according to the Heritage Foundation’s Mike Gonzalez.

O’Brien: Abolish TSA

Since we no longer have borders there is no need for safety theater. […] Have illegals been tested for Covid? Even at the height of the pandemic they were not. Were they expected to be vaccinated? While the federal government mandated that federal employees and armed service members be vaccinated, it gave illegal immigrants a pass. Have they been investigated, or even questioned, about their criminal histories? Hardly. As a result, an untold number of those who’ve crossed into the United States illegally are no doubt criminals in their own countries who’ve decided to see how the pickings are up north. Others are possibly members of foreign terrorist cells with the ability, the will, and perhaps the mission to strike American targets.
