Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) in a John Solomon interview on 4/29/2024: “The government has criminalized so many activities in this country that it’s been estimated that the average American violates three federal criminal offenses every day without even realizing it.”

Yuri Bezmenov former propagandist foe the KGB who defected to Canada in 1970: Comrades: A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. It is easier to fool someone than convince them they’ve been fooled. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me forever, I’m a useful idiot.

Misty Severi contributor to JusttheNews.com: The report by the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll found older voters supported Israel more than younger voters, with over 90% of voters older than 54 claiming they support Israel over Hamas. Among voters aged 45 to 54, 85% said they support Israel, and three quarters of the next bracket down said the same. But among younger voters aged 18-24, just 57% said they support Israel, and 64% of voters 25 to 34 said the same.

Robert Spencer contributor to Frontpage Magazine: The Biden regime has been a wrecking ball to the nation that has been so devastating that now millions of Americans are not just thinking that they are not where they thought they’d be at this point in their lives, but that they will never be able to attain the standard of living that their parents enjoyed.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek in her speech at CPAC Hungry: Samuel P. Huntington predicted this over 25 years ago when he wrote, and I quote, “In the new world of mass migration, the most pervasive, important, and dangerous conflict will not be between the social classes. They will not be between the rich and the poor. They will be between peoples belonging to different cultural entities. Tribal wars and ethnic conflicts will occur within civilizations.”

Guy Benson contributor to Townhall.com: On one hand, this isn’t particularly surprising these days. Terrorism supporters admire terrorists. It’s what they do. On the other hand, it’s still shocking to see a network of students on American campuses, widely celebrated by “progressives,” literally thanking actual terrorists for their solidarity. We’ve seen the Hamas savages and Iran’s murderous leader praising these anti-Israel “protests” in recent days, and another group of blood-drenched dirtbags is now joining in the fun. When radical bigots say “Yemen” (as in their “Yemen, Yemen make us proud” chant), they’re talking about the Houthis — an Iran-backed terrorist organization that enlists child soldiers and executes gay people.

Robert Spencer contributor to PJMedia.com: It’s all out in the open now. The House voted 366-58 on Saturday to send $9.1 billion to Gaza, and that means $9.1 billion to Hamas. This isn’t the first time that the Biden regime has made clear which side it’s on, and it likely won’t be the last.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ABOLISH THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Solomon: Rep. Andy Biggs says that Democrats are trying to annex Ukraine as the next 51st state

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Government Surveillance is going to hold a hearing this week. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) will chair the subcommittee. He will look at speech that was once protected by the First Amendment that is now being weaponized and criminalized.

Solomon: Feds warn employers can be punished for failing to use preferred transgender pronouns, restrooms

In landmark guidance, the federal commission created to fight racial and sexual discrimination declared Monday that employers that fail to use a worker’s preferred pronoun or refuse them the chance to use the restroom of their choice will be engaging in prohibited harassment. The U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission published the new harassment guidelines Monday after voting along partisan lines on Friday to approve them, even in the face of opposition from nearly two dozen red states. Three Democrat appointees approved the rules while two Republicans opposed them. The new document elevates gender identity as a protected class under discrimination laws like race, sex and religion. Prohibited harassment includes […]  You can read the document here. Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in t…qual Employment Opportunity Commission.pdf. Job Creators Network, one of the nation’s leading small business groups, decried the new guidance “The Biden administration’s new guidance on transgender employees is yet another example of executive overreach by unaccountable bureaucrats,”

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Schreckinger: Fund manager indicates Jim Biden was in business with Qatari officials

New details about Jim Biden’s foreign fundraising efforts are spilling out in a Kentucky bankruptcy court, where recent testimony indicates that President Joe Biden’s brother partnered with Qatari government officials in his quest to find money for U.S. health care ventures. The sworn testimony by fund manager Michael Lewitt, a former business partner of Jim Biden’s, attests that two companies that facilitated the efforts were part-owned by “members of the Qatari government.” One company named in the testimony partnered directly with Jim Biden in the multi-year fundraising efforts.

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

Margolis: New Bombshell Evidence Emerges: Was Trump Set Up in Classified Docs Saga?

Investigative journalist Julie Kelly found something interesting in the documents that could change everything. The first things is testimony from an FBI agent who testified that the General Services Association (GSA) had been in possession of Trump’s boxes in Virginia before ordering Trump’s team to come get them. WELL WELL WELL I am pretty sure we never heard this part of the “classified documents/box” story! More from un-redacted motions in FLA–this is from an unsealed transcript of witness interview. FBI agent says GSA was holding large quantity of Trump’s boxes in VA and then ordered […] “So an entire pallet full of boxes that had been held by GSA somewhere outside of DC is dumped at Mar-a-Lago,” Kelly notes. “Apparently these are the boxes that ended up containing papers with ‘classified markings.'” “I will double check indictment but I don’t recall this event in the timeline,” she added. So, it appears that the Biden administration may have been responsible for shipping classified information to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

War Room: Julie Kelly Discusses What Is Happening With The Classified Documents Case

What has been revealed in these mind-blowing court motions and exhibits is proof, once again, close collaboration between the White House. Between the Department of Justice. Between long-time partisan bureaucrats like the National Archives David Ferriero who, by the way, called January 6th the worst day of his life.

Taft: Media Reports Shocking Trump NYC Witness Intimidation—And Then We Busted Them.

It was a shocking claim: Donald Trump was recorded making a public threat against his long-time friend, publisher David Pecker, before the former National Enquirer publisher took the stand again in the Hush Trump New York trial. The media reported that “Trump said” those words. The claim was stunning. And it was shocking. And then came the rest of the story. MSNBC and Joy Reid, hang your head. Deadline, where’s the correction? And this prosecutor-pushed and media-amplified deception could land former President Trump in Rikers. Let’s go over the tick-tock of this deception. […] And now we are led to believe that on Thursday on live TV, on the streets of New York, and in front of scores of construction workers and others, Trump openly threatened David Pecker, who was still scheduled to testify that day. The incident was identified by prosecutors as another gag order transgression. […] But then I tracked back the “quote.”

Conradson: AUDIO: Attorney Harmeet Dhillon Breaks Down “Fake Charges” Brought by Arizona AG Kris Mayes Against Trump 2020 Alternative Electors with Radio Host Garret Lewis

Dhillon represents GOP Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman in fighting the bogus charges brought against 18 individuals by radical left Attorney General Kris Mayes, who stole the 2022 election by 280 votes from Trump Endorsed Abe Hamadeh. […] Dhillon: There have been alternative electors used in the 1960s by the Democratic Party. It was suggested in the 2020 election by Democrat activists, including Van Jones and Larry Lessig, to do it in Pennsylvania in the very election for which these citizens got indicted for their work in Arizona. So, you know, briefly, the facts are that they signed as alternate electors to preserve the opportunity in the event that ongoing litigation in Arizona, like there was ongoing litigation in other states where people have been indicted: Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia. In the event to preserve the opportunity, in the event of a successful outcome in court. That’s all. That’s a protected First Amendment activity by these citizens, and to indict them for that is really outrageous. It will not stand, but the point of the Democrats here is simply to throw sand in the gears of this election.

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

Tucker: Does the CIA Run America?

We’ve all surely had dark thoughts that the CIA is really running the United States, including many media venues. Maybe that’s been true for decades and we just didn’t know it. If so, let’s just say that it would explain a tremendous amount of what has otherwise been clouded in secrecy. How would this be possible? Knowledge is power while secret knowledge is full control. Even fake knowledge means power and control, such as we found out in the phony Russiagate investigation early in Trump’s term. They hounded the new administration for years under a completely fake scenario in which Russia somehow got Donald Trump elected. Yes, that was an intelligence operation all along, one directly designed to overthrow an election, a “color revolution” on our own soil. […] So let’s just say it: the NYT is CIA. So too is Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, Slate, Salon, and many other mainstream publications, including major tech companies like Google and Microsoft. The tentacles are everywhere and ever more obvious. Operation Mockingbird was just the beginning. The network is everywhere and the practice of manipulating the news is wholly normalized. Once you start developing the ability to see the markings, you simply cannot unsee them, which is why people who think and write about this can come across as crackpot crazy after a while. Have you considered that maybe the crackpots are exactly right? If so, shouldn’t we, at bare minimum, seek to support a Presidential candidate with a hostile relationship to the intelligence community? Indeed, that ought to be a bare minimum standard of qualification. There is simply no way we can restore civilian control of government and constitutional government until this agency can be thoroughly reigned in or abolished completely.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/NEW WORLD ORDER) & TRANS HUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

(The Great Reset) Hoft: Beautiful Eva Vlaardingerbroek Delivers Historic Speech “The Great Replacement Reality” at CPAC Hungary and Euro Elites Are Losing It – Elon Musk Weighs In – VIDEO

CPAC Hungary was held this weekend in Budapest, Hungary. The conference was attended by conservatives from though out the continent and America. The unexpected highlight of the weekend conference may have been the riveting speech by the beautiful Eva Vlaardingerbroek.

Eva did not hold back in her defense of Christian Europe and the current assault by the globalist left to destroy our civilization. Here is the transcript from Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s CPAC speech. […] This week in Stockholm, three Three elderly women in their 70s were stabbed in broad daylight on the streets. In London, four people were stabbed in a time span of just 42 hours. In Paris, hundreds of Afghan migrants took to the street to riot. And – also in France, yet another church was burned down to the ground. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is just a few incidents in just a couple of days on our beautiful continent. But we all know that these incidents aren’t incidents anymore. If there’s one thing that’s for sure is that we know, and our governments also know, that there is a link between mass migration and crime. n a Dutch city of Dordrecht, something interesting happened the other day. They announced, and this is a small city in the Netherlands, in my home country […] Eva’s speech already has 36.7 million views in less than 48 hours. This speech is the reason why the Biden administration and Western elites are so desperate to control speech. They can’t allow the people to have access to free thoughts and differing ideas. Because the elites are leading Western civilization to ruin. It appears that was their plan all along.

2024 ELECTION

Issues & Insights Editorial Board: The Democrats’ Plan To Steal The Presidency For Good

While Americans brace for another contentious presidential election, the Democrats have a better idea: Subvert the Constitution in the name of “democracy.” Once again, the party of the left shows why it’s losing Americans’ trust. Quietly but steadily, the Democratic Party has been advancing its latest bold idea to create a uni-party state: A “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.” In case you missed it, the Associated Press reported last week that “Maine will become the latest to join a multistate effort to elect the president by popular vote,” the 17th state to do so. As the AP noted, “Under the proposed compact, each state would allocate all its electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote for president, regardless of how individual states voted in an election.” The goal of this “movement” — it’s really a plot — is to get enough states to join to get to the magic number of 270 electoral votes, the amount needed to win the Electoral College. With Maine, the group now claims 209 electoral votes, a mere 61 away from their goal. hile Americans brace for another contentious presidential election, the Democrats have a better idea: Subvert the Constitution in the name of “democracy.” Once again, the party of the left shows why it’s losing Americans’ trust. […] What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing, except it’s an out-and-out attempt at subverting the protections placed in the Constitution to keep from having a national popularity contest for the presidency. This is what Democrats call “democracy.” In fact, it’s a recipe for mob rule.

York: As polls slip, Biden seeks media help

AS POLLS SLIP, BIDEN SEEKS MEDIA HELP. Sunday brought more bad news for President Joe Biden in the form of a new CNN poll showing former President Donald Trump leading Biden by 6 points, 49% to 43%, in a head-to-head national matchup, and by 9 points, 42% to 33%, in a race that includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and some minor left-wing candidates. A worrisome detail in the poll was that it was taken from April 18 to April 23, when Trump’s trial in New York was underway and the subject of intense media coverage. Voters knew Trump was facing felony charges, they heard about the case against him every day, and more still preferred Trump to Biden. Perhaps it is not surprising, then, that even as he was receiving the latest negative polling, Biden was asking the press to go tougher on Trump. Trump supporters might roll their eyes at that — how could the press be any tougher on Trump than they already are? — but Biden took two high-profile opportunities to tell journalists that they should go even harder on the former president.

Stone: “Let Joe Be Joe” has been a Disaster

Joe Biden has been a failure as the leader of the United States. There has never been one moment in the past four years when he has thought of us, the American people. He has only thought of himself and how badly he does not want to lose to Donald Trump, so he stands before the press at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and he lies. He lies about January 6th. He lies that Trump said there would be a “bloodbath” if he lost, a false media narrative that should have shamed every so-called “journalist” sitting in that room, and most of all, he lies about what threatens the American people. It is not Trump. This country is facing far more serious problems, and yet no one has apparently told Joe Biden. […] The only thing that put him in power, and what is keeping him in power now, is a grand illusion, the “greatest show on earth” our media industrial complex, […] But any honest person can see what real grassroots support looks like and what it doesn’t. The contrast between the two candidates could not be more stark. One is present, engaged, and loved, and the other is a ghost who should be lying on a beach in Florida, enjoying what’s left of his life. […] Now that Biden has agreed to a debate, Trump would be wise to remember how Biden got the better of him last time. Going on offense against Biden’s frailty, a feeble old man, was a fatal mistake. It only made Trump seem like a bully. My advice? Just let Joe be Joe.

WAR IN ISRAEL

The Right cop: Israel rebukes Biden admin calls for investigation into Gaza mass graves

Joe Biden’s administration is once again trying to shine a negative light on Israel, suggesting there needs to be an investigation into mass graves which have been found in Gaza. Mass graves were found near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. But according to Politico, Israel says they’ve already investigated this and found that there was no wrongdoing by the IDF. But the word of our ally isn’t good enough for Joe Biden, who is trying to win back support from disaffected leftists upset with his support of the war in Gaza.

Hoft: International Criminal Court Prepares to Issue Arrest Warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Other Top Senior Officials, Sources Say

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is reportedly on the verge of issuing arrest warrants for several senior Israeli government officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over allegations connected to the Israeli-Hamas conflict, according to insights from five anonymous Israeli and foreign officials cited by the New York Times. The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, suggested that the ICC is also considering similar actions against leaders of Hamas. The potential charges may relate to hindering the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza and what has been described as a disproportionate response to the Hamas-led attacks on October 7. […] The Israeli government is actively seeking to counteract the ICC’s possible actions. Spearheaded by the National Security Council and with the involvement of the Foreign Ministry, Israel is leaving no stone unturned, an Israeli diplomat told The Times of Israel. […] Reports indicate that the United States is engaged in a diplomatic bid to halt the ICC’s progress.

(An international court about to go rogue) The Right Scoop: LISTEN: Mark Levin warns ICC prosecution of Israel leaders could lead to another holocaust

The WSJ wrote an article about reports that the International Criminal Court is considering the prosecution of Israeli military and political leaders for war crimes in Gaza. The ICC prosecutor, Karim Ahmad Khan, hasn’t confirmed the prosecution but he hasn’t denied it either. […] Add to this how Biden’s state department put Israel at the top of their list when it comes to war crimes. It’s evil and it’s wrong, but many would use it as justification for ICC action.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Chang: China Humiliated Blinken But Blinken Kept Begging

  • “This was more than a slight. Aside from a calculated insult to the dignity of the United States, the move indicates Xi Jinping is making clear that the accepted norms of diplomacy will not be respected by China anymore.” — Charles Burton, former Canadian diplomat who served in Beijing, to Gatestone Institute, April 27, 2024.
  • Blinken was in China to discuss the growing list of disagreements between Washington and Beijing. Not surprisingly, he did not accomplish anything there other than register America’s complaints on matters such as Beijing’s support for the Russian war effort in Ukraine and unfair treatment of U.S. companies. On every major issue, the U.S. and China take different sides, and the Chinese have clearly dug in. Blinken was reduced to begging.
  • America is resorting to the dialogue-is-progress narrative…. In substance, therefore, Blinken in Beijing continued talking about talking.
  • There is no question that AI is an important topic, especially when it comes to the control of nuclear weapons. Yet this does not mean the U.S. should seek an agreement with China on that topic.
  • Burton and Weichert point out that China never honors agreements, so any deal with Beijing is akin to a unilateral promise.
  • The risk now is that the Biden administration will trade away its restrictions for meaningless promises from China’s Communists.
  • “China is deeply committed to the weaponization of AI and would be counting its lucky communist star if the Americans basically deterred themselves with such a protocol,” Weichert, also author of Biohacked: China’s Race to Control Life, added.
  • The secretary of state should never have gone to China in the first place.

A PRIMER ON THE CULTURAL SUBVERSION OF THE UNITED STATES

(Reposted) The Truth Archive: Yuri Bezmenov – ALL Interviews & Lectures HQ (1984-1983)

This is G. Edward Griffin’s shocking video interview, Soviet Subversion of the Free-World Press (1984), where he interviews ex-KGB officer and Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov who decided to openly reveal KGB’s subversive tactics against western society as a whole. Bezmenov explains how Jewish Marxist ideology is destabilizing the economy and purposefully pushing the U.S. into numerous crises so that a “Big Brother” tyranny can be put into place in Washington, how most Americans don’t even realize that they are under attack, and that normal parliamentary procedures will not alter the federal government’s direction

Brown’s remarks came after Legend publicly supported Biden and called President Donald Trump “racist.” Judge Brown held nothing back as he traced the issues within the American criminal justice system and its impact on black communities back to legislative actions that he attributed to Biden and other lawmakers in past decades. […] Judge Brown went on to recount a meeting he claimed to have witnessed where Biden allegedly made racist comments about Black people, adding that these attitudes were reflected in Biden’s legislative actions over the years.

Ballasy: Louisiana, Texas AGs announce lawsuits against Biden administration over Title IX rule

Louisiana and Texas Attorneys General Liz Murrill and Ken Paxton announced lawsuits on Monday against President Biden’s Department of Education over the new Title IX rule. “Today, I am announcing that we have officially filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Education, to save Title IX and protect the myriad of interests threatened by these new regulations,” Murrill wrote on X on Monday. Murrill described the rule as “regulatory overreach.” She said the department’s final rule will “gut the very essence of Title IX and destroy decades of advances in equal educational opportunities, especially for women and girls.” […] “Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women in furtherance of his radical obsession with gender ideology,” Paxton said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “This attempt to subvert federal law is plainly illegal, undemocratic, and divorced from reality. Texas will always take the lead to oppose Biden’s extremist, destructive policies that put women at risk.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ANTI POLICE ANTI VICTIM PRO CRIMINAL

Pedler: PICTURED: Firearms felon Terry Clark Hughes who opened fire on Charlotte cops as they came to arrest him setting off gun fight that left 4 officers dead and 4 more wounded

Firearms felon Terry Clark Hughes has been revealed as the suspect who opened fire at cops at a North Carolina home as they came to arrest him, after he set off a gun fight that left four officers dead and four more wounded. The suspect had a lengthy criminal history and was wanted for possession of a firearm by felon, and felony flee to elude out of Lincoln County, before he was shot dead on Monday, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. But Hughes was not the only shooter, CMPD Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a news conference. ‘When [officers] approached Hughes they were met by gunfire and returned the gunfire, striking Hughes, who was found deceased in a yard’, Jennings said.

Jacobs: Washington’s Sweeping Crime Wave Exposes The City’s Distorted Priorities

I live mere feet from a military installation in Washington, D.C., yet someone had little qualms with entering my car and rifling through it last week in an attempt to find something of value. Thankfully, nothing was stolen — because I don’t leave anything in my car worth stealing — and my vehicle incurred no damage. Such is life in the nation’s capital these days. The concerns about crime, both big and small, pervade the populace, caused in no small part by a series of flawed policies on both the local and national levels. Consider these news stories just from the first four months of 2024: […] While Bowser and the D.C. City Council claims to want to get a handle on security issues, their actions can belie their statements. Amid the widespread concerns about crime, and a major budget crunch stemming from the rise of remote work since the pandemic, what actions did Bowser recently take? Sign an ordinance making marijuana tax-free for the second half of April in “honor” of 4/20, and release a budget that, while increasing security funding by several million dollars, also proposed “$5.25 million to support DC’s hosting of World Pride in 2025.” Seriously.

BOOK REVIEW: DOMESTIC ENEMIES: THE FOUNDING FATHERS’ FIGHT AGAINST THE LEFT BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

Bawer: Domestic Enemies

That there’s always more history to learn is one of the many lessons of Daniel Greenfield’s truly magnificent new book, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight against the Left. In six riveting, eye-opening chapters, Greenfield guides us through untold or little-told stories of leftist perfidy beginning in the days prior to the ratification of the Constitution and concluding in the last years of the Civil War. It is a genuinely remarkable work, which even for many people who consider themselves relatively well-informed students of history is full of one revelation after another – all of which serve to underscore that the far-left phenomena that today seem to portend nothing short of apocalypse (from BLM riots to outrageous election irregularities to the breathtaking efforts by New York officials to destroy Donald Trump’s financial empire) are in fact nothing new. The late writer Howard Zinn, in his appallingly successful People’s History of the United States (1980), pushed his far-left agenda on naive young readers by, at every turn […] fanatically accentuating the negative aspects of American capitalism and liberal democracy and utterly eliminating the positive. Greenfield is the anti-Zinn: whereas Zinn besmirched American liberty at every turn, Greenfield tells the plain truth about far-left challenges to that liberty that have either been whitewashed in most history textbooks, given very short shrift by them, or scrubbed from their pages entirely. The result is a superbly illuminating book that has the drive and urgency of a great political pamphlet as well as the density and detail of a distinguished three-volume historical opus. [NOTE: Zinn’s history book can still be found in classrooms across the country]

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CHILDREN ARE THE TARGET OF THE DARKNESS AFFECTING OUR NATION

Starnes: Parents Furious Over Sexually-Charged Drag Queen Dance at High School Prom

Lewd and highly inappropriate.” That’s how parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico are describing a drag queen’s performance during a high school prom. It happened at Atrisco Heritage High School. “My daughter hasn’t been exposed to things like this. She was traumatized by it to the point that she left prom early. We have to fill out permission slips for these kids to do anything, why weren’t we notified of this?” a parent told television station KOAT. “I’m still very shocked. It’s appalling to me. Whoever is responsible should be held accountable for it.” […] The drag queen goes by the name Mythica Sahreen. He says he was not hired by the school, but he said the administration and prom officials signed off on his risqué show. A show that is now under investigation. […] It turns out the drag queen is a school volunteer and works with the Gay-Straight Alliance. And he’s been dancing at the school on a regular basis, KOAT reports.

A teacher and children’s volunteer at one of Arkansas‘ biggest churches accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy told police she would not go further than oral sex so he could ‘stay pure.’ Reagan Gray, 26, sent naked pictures ‘on a daily basis’ to the boy after beginning the abuse in the fall of 2020 at Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, once attended by ex-President Bill Clinton. The church sent her for counseling after the boy’s parents discovered text messages alluding to the affair on their son’s phone but she was welcomed back within weeks and resumed her abuse.

Is it about a belief that Jews have all the money and political power like the lunatic fringe, the Klan, and LaRouchies claim? Not that anyone but a weirdo (and Rep. Ilhan Omar) would embrace that. Those are the views of freaks. The antisemitism now seen is of a more slippery variety, the kind that claims that Zionism is racism, Israelis are the ‘real’ Nazis, or Apartheid practitioners, and every bad act of other characters in recent history. Suddenly, and however improbable, it’s now pinned on the Jews. Corollary to this are the claims among the campus elite that they don’t hate Jews, only Zionists, a distinction without a difference, and a self-justification that falls apart increasingly frequently. So what’s happening?

Rufo: DEI Conquers Stanford

Stanford University, its campus lined with redwoods and eucalyptus trees, has long been known as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. But in recent years, another ideological force has taken root: “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” a euphemism for left-wing racialism. DEI, in fact, has conquered Stanford. I have obtained exclusive analysis from inside Stanford outlining the incredible size and scope of the university’s DEI bureaucracy. According to this analysis, Stanford employs at least 177 full-time DEI bureaucrats, spread throughout the university’s various divisions and departments.

Richard: Antisemitic riot at Columbia reaches boiling point as agitators take over academic building, barricade doors

Hours after Columbia University began suspending students who did not abandon their anti-Israel encampment in the heart of campus, the agitators dialed up their demonstration by taking over an academic building. Early Tuesday morning, hundreds of anti-Israel protesters at Columbia’s Manhattan campus took over Hamilton Hall, an academic building used by the dean and other senior offices. The unruly group gained access shortly before 1 a.m. and then began “moving metal gates to barricade the doors, blocking entrances with wooden tables and chairs, and zip-tying doors shut,” according to the student newspaper Columbia Spectator. Other footage showed the agitators in New York smashing windows, unfurling a Palestinian flag over a window and chanting: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “Palestine will live forever.” Outside the facility, the anti-Israel rebels, many of whom wore masks, locked arms in front of Hamilton Hall to form a human barricade.

Costescu: Columbia President Shafik Said This Anti-Semitic Prof Was Grading Papers Before His Exit from Columbia. He’s Been a Constant Presence in the Encampment Ever Since.

Nearly two weeks ago, Columbia University president Minouche Shafik assured members of Congress that an anti-Semitic professor had been terminated. That professor, Mohamed Abdou, was “grading his students’ papers” before the end of the semester and would “never teach at Columbia again,” Shafik said. Instead, Abdou—a self-described “Muslim anarchist” who teaches a class on “Decolonial Queerness & Abolition”—has been a regular presence in the unsanctioned “Gaza Solidarity” tent encampment that has plagued Columbia since student protesters constructed it on the day of Shafik’s testimony. The Washington Free Beacon has spotted him daily—talking to student leaders, lounging in the sun, and participating in demonstrations.

The Right Scoop: WATCH: Pro-Israel protesters at GWU asked to LEAVE so pro-Hamas protesters could have “their space”

Pro-Israel protesters at George Washington University were asked to leave so that pro-Hamas protesters could have ‘their space’. In the video a school official asks a woman holding an Israel flag, who is across the streets from a pro-Hamas encampment, was asked to leave. When someone protested that the encampment is there illegally, the official said they were being allowed to do it and then asked the woman to leave so the pro-Hamas protesters could have their space. Here’s the tweet and text: […] A NewsNation reporter said on Friday that the pro-Hamas encampment had both students and faculty. How in the world could Jewish students feel comfortable with faculty members chanting for their extermination???

Cimino: Michigan town board meeting descends into chaos after Satanic temple leader is allowed to give opening speech

Chaos erupted at the Ottawa County board meeting in Michigan when a member of the Satanic Church delivered an invocation to start the gathering. A man by the name of Luis Cypher, a minister of the Satanic Temple of West Michigan, gave a speech on Tuesday reiterating the importance of separating church and state, one of the main principles of the organization. But the massive crowd descended into protest as people chanted and sang hymns such as ‘Amazing Grace,’ put signs on the wall that said, ‘God always, Satan never’ and ‘Satan has no rights.’

One man yelled, ‘hail Satan,’ while others yelled, ‘we love Jesus.’ The exchanges remained verbal and did not escalate to physical violence.

Higgns & Shuetze: Suddenly, Chinese Spies Seem to Be Popping Up All Over Europe

One of the men, a young Briton known for his hawkish views on China, worked as an aide to a prominent member of the British Parliament. Another, a German citizen of Chinese descent, was an assistant to a member of the European Parliament representing Germany’s far right.

While from different countries and seemingly divergent backgrounds and outlooks, both men became ensnared this week in accusations of espionage on behalf of China — and a widening pushback in Europe against malign Chinese influence in politics and commerce.

In all, six people in three separate cases have been charged this week in Europe with spying for China: two in Britain and four in Germany.
