CAN AMERICA REALLY DEFEND OTHER DICTATORS' BORDERS AND SURRENDER AMERICA'S TO NARCOMEX? - What Israel and the US Have in Common

JOE BIDEN AND HIS CUBAN MAYORKAS HAVE ORCHESTRATED 10 MILLION MORE ILLEGALS OVER THE BORDER TURNING A BLIND EYE TO AMERICA'S HOUSING CRISIS.

What Israel and the US Have in Common

Much is often said about Israel and the United States being natural allies, but that is usually not accompanied by much detail.  There are many cultural ties, including religion, of course, and intriguing economic similarities, especially in their respective social instincts for entrepreneurialism, technology, and capital markets.  Israel and the United States are also “New World” countries, formed in large part on the basis of religious and political freedom.

At a current national security level, the two countries share a similar strategic threat from enemies at their borders and, in some respects, enemies internally.  In the case of Israel, like the current United States, it was its southern border that was recently penetrated by invaders (at the Kerem Shalom checkpoint near Egypt, among other locations).  Moreover, its northern flank, like in the U.S., is also exposed, and to its east looms a vast land mass of hostile interests that can encroach through an unstable Iraq, right up to Israel’s lines of defense.  The U.S faces similar risks from the equivalent of a foreign sea power that can (and does) mass up and down its eastern Atlantic seaboard, and also along its entire western Pacific coast.  Invasion access is abundant and maintaining security a constant responsibility.  Both counties are surrounded by national security threats, and that includes the third dimension of airspace, including space.

What both countries really share, however, is hatred from outside.  It is a hate based in many ways on envy.  Israel has many successes to claim, while also hosting a social culture utterly unlike its neighbors that surround it, who are still psychologically tied to customs and thought patterns rooted in centuries-old belief.  This includes the treatment of women, for example, as well as the full panoply of human rights, law and economics, and their respective institutions. 

The U.S. is also similarly hated by much of the world.  If you travel to Europe, you often encounter an attitude from western Europeans (interestingly, not generally from eastern and central ones) who harbor a contempt for “American” ways.  If you travel still farther to parts of Asia, the state of mind there may be more pragmatic but also much more dangerous: China, unlike France and Germany, has possession of economic and trade power, combined with the military prowess and numbers, to overwhelm the U.S.

With a weak if nonexistent commander in chief, the risk is radically heightened.  (One can only imagine what Netanyahu was thinking as he saw Biden hobble down the stairs of Air Force One recently.)  But the U.S. has also naïvely accommodated an internal political enemy that seeks to dismantle and replace much of its functions, while retaining merely some of its forms (its legal system is an example).

What Israel and the U.S. do not have in common, however, is also instructive: leadership and resolve.  Say what you may about Netanyahu, but if the U.S. were “Israel,” our southern border would likely be fully patrolled if not sealed, with the north carefully guarded.  And if the border were breached — and the U.S. has been breached — his instinct might be to retaliate.  Instead, the U.S. facilitates.

The current U.S. instinct is also to accommodate in an unprecedented way: the thousands of illegal entrants who are being explicitly and illegally shipped into the U.S. interior daily are, in many ways, a silent “Hamas” that can accomplish the same goals, only in a more subtle if not insidious manner: a slow-kill assault on American culture and its security that has at the core of its political and private sponsorship a profound hatred of America, combined with envy and, perhaps ironically, a lust for its spoils, property, and symbols of prestige.

Israel, on the other hand, retains a sharp instinct for self-preservation.  The United States may have this instinct in a latent form, and as Edmund Burke once noted, colonial Americans could “smell the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze.”  It may be the colonial spirit that can best tie the U.S. and Israel together because it is a spirit rooted in a strong culture of independence, along with resolve for combat.  Both countries however, also run the risk of losing civilian control of their respective military dominance, while simultaneously fighting an internal domestic battle among political and other special interests that have divergent national ambitions, which can result in the loss of territorial, economic, and cultural sovereignty. 

America and Israel both share enemies, foreign and domestic, who seek to “wipe them off the map.”  (Some of these enemies are consolidated within our own domestic national institutions.  Our university system, for example, acts in significant ways as a network of political camps.)

In both countries, international law and order is threatened by radical ideology seeking to both undermine social order, and weaken or even destroy national economies.  Israel’s realpolitik and self-preservation cause it to undertake immediate self-defense.  The U.S. must do the same: a joint U.S.-IL war on terror means the eradication of Hamas and all its manner and forms of sponsorship, and at the same time, the suppression and neutralization of a highly organized radical leftism embedded within the U.S. political party apparatus.  The two terror sources can be seen as a combined threat that must be comprehensively uprooted as a precondition to regional stabilities and international law and order.

Alleged Getaway Driver in Fatal Texas Police Shooting Had Previous Deportation, Cartel Ties

Murder of Texas Police Lieutenant (Police Photos)

The alleged getaway driver in a fatal police shooting in South Texas had previously been deported and had ties with the Gulf Cartel in Matamoros, according to court records obtained by Breitbart Texas. The shooting incident led to the death of San Benito Police Department Lieutenant Milton Resendez.

One of the two suspects behind the fatal shooting of San Benito Police Lieutenant Milton Resendez was in the country illegally, had previously been deported, and had known ties with Mexico’s Gulf Cartel, the documents revealed.

Rodrigo Axel Espinoza Valdez, from Mexico, is being held at the Cameron County Jail on charges of capital murder and evading arrest with a motor vehicle. Authorities described Espinoza as the vehicle’s driver during two separate chases where another man reportedly shot at police several times using a rifle and handguns.

The alleged shooter, Rogelio Martinez, remains behind bars in the same jail on a charge of capital murder, as well as theft and multiple counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer. Martinez is a U.S. citizen from Brownsville, Texas, who is also believed to have ties with individuals involved in drug smuggling.

Federal court documents revealed that in 2019 U.S. Border Patrol arrested Espinoza after he rafted across the Rio Grande in Brownsville. At the time, a federal judge ordered his deportation and credited him for time served. Breitbart Texas consulted with Tamaulipas State Police sources, who revealed that while Espinoza does not have prior arrests in Tamaulipas, intelligence information links him to a cell of human smugglers operating for a faction of the Gulf Cartel in Matamoros

The chain of events that led to Lt. Resendez’s murder began on Tuesday afternoon when a Cameron County Park Police officer tried to stop a vehicle for speeding near South Padre Island.

According to Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz, Espinoza and Martinez were in the vehicle with two women and two small children. Martinez, who was driving the vehicle at the time, physically fought with the park police officer, got back in his vehicle and drove away. Authorities spotted the red GMC truck in Port Isabel. Police tried to stop the duo, setting off a high-speed chase that turned into a rolling shootout. During the chase, Martinez, who was in the vehicle’s passenger side, reportedly got a rifle and began shooting at the police vehicles chasing them. The gunfire struck several police cars. Officers initially fired back, but they stopped and fell back out of fear of striking innocent motorists.

Authorities tracked the two men to the border city of Brownsville, where they tried to arrest them. A second police pursuit ensued. The two men were riding a black Ford Expedition during the second pursuit.

During a streamed news conference, San Benito Police Chief Mario Perea said his department received information that a chase was underway that was moving toward his city. One of the officers responding to the chase was Lt. Resendez. The lieutenant came under fire as he encountered Espinoza and Martinez.

“The suspects shot an unknown amount of rounds at Lt. Resendez’s vehicle,” Perea said, adding that two rounds hit the police car. One of those rounds hit the lawman in the abdomen just below his body armor — fatally injuring him. “Lieutenant Resendez was transported to Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, Texas, where he succumbed to his injuries.”

Authorities continued chasing the suspects as they turned around and made their way towards Brownsville, where Texas Department of Public Safety troopers carried out a PIT maneuver on the fleeing gunmen near the intersection of Ringgold and International Boulevard. The two men tried to run away, but authorities arrested them. At the time of the arrest, police indicated the two suspects were each carrying a handgun.

For New York City, illegal immigration is set to cost $12 billion by mid-2025. To pay for the new arrivals, New Yorkers face five percent budget cuts across the board.

Eric Adams: Illegal Immigration ‘Not Sustainable,’ NYC ‘Running out of Room’

Mayor Eric Adams (D) is again warning that illegal immigration is “not sustainable” and that New York City is “running out of room.” None of the mayor’s warnings, though, have made a dent in stopping illegal aliens from traveling to the sanctuary city.

During a Tuesday press conference, Adams revealed that since the spring of 2022, nearly 127,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City — a foreign population that exceeds that of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Of those border crossers and illegal aliens, more than 64,000 remain living off local taxpayers in the city’s shelter system, which includes migrant hotels, migrant camps in parks, and old buildings where Adams has placed them.

“…[I]t is not sustainable,” Adams said. “…I want to be honest with New Yorkers. You’re going to see the visual of running out of room. It’s not if, it’s when. People are going to be sleeping on our streets.”

Despite Adams’ repeated warnings, border crossers and illegal aliens have not stopped traveling to New York City. In fact, in recent months, weekly illegal immigration levels have almost doubled from 2,400 arrivals to 4,000 arrivals.

“…[T]hese cities are overwhelmed,” Adam said of sanctuary cities like New York City:

I think you’re now hearing voices across the entire country — Massachusetts and others, Chicago — we need help from the federal government. This is overwhelming our cities. And no city should be going through this. It’s unfair to taxpayers, and it’s unfair to the migrant and asylum seekers to be living in these conditions. [Emphasis added]

Since June, border crossers and illegal aliens have outnumbered native New Yorkers in the city’s taxpayer-funded shelter system, making up more than 54 percent of shelter residents. Without illegal immigration, the city’s shelter population would be cut in half.

Most recently, Adams traveled to Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador to warn would-be illegal aliens not to travel to New York City. While on the trip, though, Adams claimed that the world’s migrants have a “right to work” in the United States.

Illegal Migration Spreads Far Beyond New York

President Joe Biden’s migration flood is reaching nearly all districts of the United States and inflicting pocketbook damage to the Americans in towns that have gotten little outside investment during the last 20 years.

In the “past three months around 110,000 new immigrants headed to the top six cities, while over 340,000 headed to many different communities,” according to a report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University.

The report said:

Thirty-seven counties in eighteen (18) different states received 1,000 or more immigrants with new Immigration Court deportation cases in August alone. Beyond the states with the top destinations in Table 1, these included (in order of counties with the largest number of new immigrants) are: New Jersey, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Massachusetts.

Thirty-four counties in an additional seven (7) states received 500 or more immigrants with new Court cases during August. These were Washington, Virginia, Connecticut, Nevada, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Michigan.

“More than 1,230,000 new deportation cases have been added to the Court’s docket during FY 2023,” TRAC said.

TRAC also provided a map of where recent migrants are going:

At the border, video journalists are asking migrants where they are coming from and where they are going to work. In one video of more than 130 migrants, most were from Africa and most were going to New York. But the migrants also listed Boston, Georgia, Connecticut, Lousiana, Arizona, and Ohio as destinations:


Another video showed many Venezuelan women and girls heading up to Chicago to join their husbands, fathers, and brothers.

The recent arrivals are only a tiny subset of the roughly 45 million legal and illegal migrants invited into the United States, and the court cases are only a minority of the 7.6 million migration-related cases in the courts.

For example, Biden’s deputies are allowing many economic migrants to fly in through the airports and are also importing many temporary visa workers and legal immigrants.

The nation’s pro-migration border chief Alejandro Mayorkas is also giving quasi-legal approvals and work permits to at least 50,000 migrants per month, including Renel Ilorme, a former police technician in Haiti.

Instead of helping to stabilize poor Haiti, he is now working a low-wage job in Rockland County near New York City that would have otherwise been won by a better-paid, technology-aided American. LoHud.com reported:

He’s working at a nearby Mcdonald’s, has gotten a Social Security card and driver’s permit. He wants to earn more and build a career.

“I like learning,” Ilorme said. He’s taken English classes at Konbit [migrant tranining center], and listens to music and watches movies to brush up his language skills. “I’m doing my best.”

Many illegal migrants are also crowding into American neighborhoods, helping to spike housing inflation for American families from coast to coast. In Ohio, the Dayton Daily News reported:

“When I first came I was in a three bedroom house,” said Joseph, 48, who arrived in Springfield in August 2021, “We had more than 20 people living in that house. (The landlords) just rent the bed in the bedroom. A room can sleep like 10 people. And sometimes the house has only one bathroom.”

“I’m coming here to work. I don’t care if [Americans] like me or not. I’m doing my job to take care of my family,” said Joseph, who now has a work permit, a manufacturing job, government approval to live in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status and is … assisting fellow migrants.

Biden’s deputies favor the inflow of poor workers and consumers into the towns that have been hollowed out and depopulated by free trade rules and by the migration-caused shift of business investment to the coastal states.

The poor migrants serve as grateful new clients for the Democrats’ welfare agencies and as replacement consumers and renters for local business groups.

“We know as Americans, that migration has actually led to tremendous benefits in our own country,” a former Biden staffer Amy Pope said in May 2023, adding:

We know even recent evidence shows that migration has revitalized communities that have been dying. In fact … I was born in Cleveland, grew up part of my life in Akron, then in Pittsburgh. All of those cities have benefited from migration.

Biden’s migration has added at least four million workers to the nation’s workforce. That flood was urged and welcomed by business groups because it cuts Americans’ blue-collar wages and white-collar salaries and also spikes housing prices.

Migration also reduces marketplace pressure to invest in productivity-boosting technologyheartland states, and overseas markets. and it reduces economic pressure on the federal government to deal with the drug and “Deaths of Despair” crises.

Biden’s easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems — homelessness, low wages, a shrinking middle class, slowing innovation, declining blue-collar life expectancy, spreading poverty, the rising death toll from drugs, and the spreading alienation among young people.

GOP Senators Push Biden to Revoke Visas of Pro-Hamas Foreigners: ‘Put the Security of American Citizens First’

A group of Republican Senators is pleading with President Joe Biden to revoke the visas of those foreign nationals in the United States who back Hamas, the terrorist group that controls Gaza and has launched attacks on Israel.

On Thursday, Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a resolution asking Biden to revoke visas for pro-Hamas foreign nationals, especially those on F-1 student visas, who currently reside in the United States.

“Hamas is a brutal terrorist group, and there is simply no place in America for terrorist sympathizers,” Blackburn said in a statement:

Current U.S. law clearly underlines that any foreign national who endorses Hamas or other foreign terrorist organizations should not be allowed to enter this country. To put the security of American citizens first, President Biden must immediately revoke the visas of those who support Hamas and other terrorist groups. [Emphasis added]

Rubio, likewise, said living in the U.S. is a privilege for visa-holders — not a right — and thus “any individual … promoting Hamas should have that privilege revoked.”

“Republicans are united in calling on President Biden to enforce current law and revoke the visas of any foreign national who support[s] Hamas or any other foreign terrorist organization,” Rubio said.

Sens. Katie Britt (R-AL.), Rick Scott (R-FL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Ted Budd (R-NC), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Cornyn (R-TX), and John Hoeven (R-ND) joined the resolution.

Former U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Emilio Gonzalez told the Washington Times the government should revoke such visas using existing federal immigration law.

Also this week, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) wrote to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, requesting he begin the process of revoking visas for pro-Hamas foreign nationals and subsequently deport them to their native countries.

“I write to urge you to immediately deport any foreign national — including and especially any alien on a student visa — that has expressed support for Hamas and its murderous attacks on Israel,” Cotton wrote. “These fifth-columnists have no place in the U.S.”

 JOE BIDEN = POS!

Joe Biden's don'ts

In his vague warning to Hezb’allah in Lebanon -- really Iran -- against widening the Israel-Gaza War, Joe Biden warned Arab aggressors from widening their war against Israel by saying, Don’t, Don’t, Don’t in his trademark partial whisper.  He really reveals his own series of his own “Don’t, Don’t, Don’ts’”:

Don’t -- impulsively, foolishly, and prematurely abandon Afghanistan for symbolic political purposes, when your own military advisors and NATO allies astutely recommended that you leave three thousand troops to assure easier surveillance of Iran and China’s nuclear sites, and to prevent inevitable resurgence of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist haters of America in Afghanistan.

Don’t -- Look frequently at your watch while watching unloaded coffins of the dead troops who died during the chaos at Karsi airport that your flawed decision caused.

Don’t -- Always bring up your unresolved grief about your son Beau in efforts to comfort grieving military families. Beau did serve, as you did not, but not in Afghanistan.

Don’t -- Abruptly undermine and attack American oil and gas independence, the bedrock of American prosperity and energy independence.

Don’t -- Fawn over the Green New Deal for political gain while neglecting problems related a gradual transition for less use of fossil fuels.

Don’t – Okay the Nordstream pipeline that undermined our European allies and helped Putin.

Don’t -- Coyly hint that a small incursion by Putin into Ukraine might not bring immediate action by America. Putin listens to such carefully.

Don’t – Timidly predict sanctions on Putin if he chose to invade Ukraine instead of starting heavy sanctions on Russia and giving massive amount of lethal military aid to Ukraine preemptively.

Don’t -- Allow America to give twice as much financial support to Ukraine as other NATO countries and yet too little, too late for weapons that could have assured a decisive victory of Ukraine over Putin.

Don’t -- Boast about how well you know and how many hours you have spent with President Xi of China yet not call him out decisively and publicly about his violation of human rights towards and cruel treatment of the Uighurs.

Don’t -- Talk tough about China’s ambitions concerning Taiwan and the South China Sea but submit puny defense budgets that allow our Navy to fall behind China’s.

Don’t -- Boast about your affection, nurturing, and frequent contacts with your grandchildren but neglect to even mention and include your grandchild Navy from your prodigal son Hunter’s promiscuous sexual behavior until your denial was too obvious to ignore.

Don’t -- Call your son Hunter “the smartest man you know” when his drug abuse, carelessness with a gun, incestuous sexual behavior, and suspected corrupt financial foreign dealings that even might involve yourself seriously refute this.

Don’t -- Boast about your getting a full scholarship and being at the top of your class at Syracuse law school when such was not true.

Don’t -- Label Republicans MAGA glibly, don’t whisper at the country in your speeches and avoid saying, “That’s not hyperbole”, or “That’s not a joke…” we can discern that for ourselves.

‘Repeating Hamas’ Lies Can - and Does - Cost Lives in Gaza, Israel and Around the World,’ IDF Warns

CRAIG BANNISTER | OCTOBER 19, 2023

“Hamas set up a trap and the international media fell for it,” an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman said Thursday, rebuking the media’s eagerness to take the word of a terrorist organization, like Hamas, without first examining the facts.

After media in the U.S. and abroad jumped at the chance to blame Israel for the destruction of a Gaza hospital earlier this week – which was ultimately revealed to be Hamas’ doing – IDF posted a video on social media warning of the dangers of such hasty and biased journalism.

“Instead of verifying the information, the media kept publishing, sorry, keeps publishing, fake news,” the IDF spokesman explains:

“Islamic jihad bombed a hospital in Gaza. The whole world immediately assumed it was an Israeli strike.

“No fact-checking.

“No making sure.

“No filtering information.

“Hamas set up a trap and the international media fell for it. Instead of verifying the information, the media kept publishing, sorry, keeps publishing, fake news.”

 

 

“They quoted a terrorist organization that beheaded babies, rapes women, and indiscriminately kills, before seeing any proof,” he says, adding “Was ISIS ever considered a credible news source?”

Today’s media are encouraging terrorists to continue to lie and putting lives at risk, he warns:

“This behavior rewards misinformation and encourages lies and shows terrorists around the world that this tactic, lying, works. This will remain a critical point in the coming days. Repeating Hamas’ lies can - and does - cost lives in Gaza, in Israel and around the world.”

By accepting and reporting Hamas’ lies as facts, media are failing to practice even the “most basic tenants of journalism,” the IDF spokesman says:

“Media outlets demonstrated that the most basic tenants of journalism, fact-checking, is sorely lacking. The whole world is asking for accountability from a country for defending its civilians after a brutal massacre. And yet, not only is accountability not demanded from Hamas, their lies are taken as facts and then misreported around the world.”

“Just remember: the whole world is watching,” he concludes.

Biden Warns Allies Against ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘Antisemitism’

President Joe Biden used his Oval Office speech to warn the nation — and his Muslim and Jewish supporters — against mutual hatred as Israel prepares to smash a Muslim terror group.

“We must without equivocation, denounce antisemitism: We must also without equivocation denounce Islamophobia,” he said in his address to the nation, adding:

And to all you hurting, those of you hurting, I want you to know I see you. You belong. And I want to say this to you — you’re all American, you’re all American.

Biden is preparing to run for reelection and needs to minimize disagreements within his increasingly diverse coalition.

“In moments like these, when fear and suspicion, anger and rage run hard, we have to work harder than ever to hold on to the values that make us who we are,” he said as he called for sectarian unity amid his policy of accelerating diversity via immigration:

We’re a nation of religious freedom, freedom of expression. We all have a right to debate and disagree without fear of being targeted in schools or workplaces or in our communities. We must renounce violence and vitriol, see each other not as enemies but as fellow Americans.

Biden sidelined the causes of the rising domestic hatred — chiefly, the government’s immigration policy that has fuelled diversity and birthed identity-based “woke” politics  — as he blamed unidentified “hate.”

However, he used the term “Islamophobia” to suggest that public concerns about the civic duties of the Islamic religion are a “phobia,” which is commonly defined as “an extreme, irrational fear of a specific object or situation.”

Biden also spoke in the passive voice, downplaying the responsibility of Hamas Islamic fighters for the murders of more than 1,000 Jews:

In recent years, too much hate has [been] given too much oxygen, fueling racism, the rise of antisemitism, Islamic-phobia, right here in America.

It is also intensified in the wake of recent events that led to the horrific threats and attacks that both shock us and break our hearts.

On October 7, terror attacks have triggered deep scars and terrible memories in the Jewish community. Today, Jewish families are worried about being targeted in school, wearing symbols on their faith, walking down the street, or going about on their daily lives.

After addressing Jewish concerns, he pivoted to Muslim concerns — but without identifying the Israel counterattacks in the Gaza strip, or the opinion polls that blame Hamas for the murders, and without identifying the 9/11 attackers:

I know many of you in the Muslim American community, the Arab American, the Palestinian American community, and so many others, are outraged and [are] saying to yourself, “Here we go again with Islamophobia and distrust we saw after 9/11.”

He quickly moved on from the 9/11 attack to the October 14 attack by a landlord on a Muslim family:

Just last week, a mother was brutally stabbed. A little boy here in the United States, a little boy who just turned six years old, was murdered in their home outside of Chicago. His name was Wadea, Wadea, proud American, proud Palestinian-American family. We can’t stand by and stand silent when this happens. We must without equivocation, denounce antisemitism. We must also without equivocation denounce Islamophobia.

“The attack came amid an increase in antisemitic and Islamaphobic incidents around the country since Hamas went on a killing rampage in Israel on Oct. 7,”  ABC News reported.

Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is also warning of attacks by hotheads against both Jews and Muslims:

As the Israel-Hamas conflict continues, we have seen an increase in reports of threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities and institutions. Lone offenders, motivated by a range of violent ideologies, pose the most likely threat.

Biden continued:

When I was in Israel yesterday, I said that when America experienced the hell of 9/11, we felt enraged as well. While we sought and got justice, we made mistakes. So I caution the government of Israel not to be blinded by rage.

Israel’s attack against the Hamas terror group in Gaza may take months to complete.

LIfe is cheap in the Arab world -- and the West won't grasp the evil

If Americans do not have good background history, or very good intuition and common sense, it is increasingly difficult to cognitively negotiate the mainstream media war ‘news’ since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

Our gut tells us that we must sort this one out, quickly.  Concurrently, our decision-making as a free people is being hijacked by the leftist Democrats’ neurotic permaglue in massing to support the indefensible, e.g., the horror of Hamas (this leftist germinally fascistic stance that might also serve them well, briefly, as ‘socialists’).

Putting these phenomenally purblind Democrats aside, let’s look at what happened this week in Palestine.

Palestinian terrorists failed to blow up one of their own hospitals. The terrorists, and a few governments in the area, tried to blame the Jews. The Israeli government contends—and the White House, late in the day, agreed-- that Israel is innocent of this act.  Yet many in the MSM and U.S. government are still carrying water in a narrative that ‘subtly’ supports Hamas.

Fact check: life is cheap to terrorists. ‘Muslim’ carnage has been going on for centuries, at a level incomparable to any other ‘religion’ or ‘culture.’ Jews and Muslims; Muslims and Jews; it’s always been a big ‘problem.’ 

Jews are characteristically defensive; Muslims are far more brutally offensive in practice-against both Jews and Christians.   The Israelis have well documented and attested historical and Biblical priority in Jerusalem as home. The everyday, pitiable ‘Palestinians,’ a historically nomadic group, are being used, again, as human shields for terrorists.

If you want chapter and verse, open some vetted history books on the subject and read them. If you decline doing that, consider this: what is suicide bombing, anyway, but Muslims killing themselves-- we hear tell the suicides are for Allah, but not for any God as good as His name in America.

In most of the Arab world, life is cheaper than most Americans can readily imagine. Many Muslims would counter: ‘and, in your Great Satan world, too; just look at abortion.’ Touche.’ Doubtless America has lost a lot of moral ground since we turned our backs on God and our moral ancestry and let the U.S. Department of Education loose on our children. Given our declining profile as a civilized nation, now over several generations, no wonder we’re wobbling. However, we don’t have to lose everything. Not yet.

Evil is a funny thing. We never get it until it is standing on our heads and trying to bang our brains out. Then, frail creatures that we are, we can run for cover or fight back. Too many Democrat ‘leaders’ have an easy time with evil. They have so long been posturing aside the phony virtues of their ‘egalitarian’ Party, turning a blind eye to corruption; honoring criminals, knaves, and lying lawyers; taking their laps in the fetid pool of persecution of innocent men and women in the exercise of their own Constitutional rights. These actions are all the pleasures of fools. The media is, willy-nilly, cheering them on.

We are getting a huge and fearful dose of the mystery of iniquity in the terror attack on Israel.  The now-global radical spin machine is working non-stop to victimize the terrorists. We will never understand the mystery of evil, any more than we are conversant with the justice of God-- that is for later. For now, the United State must be utterly clear on this: we must be with Israel. For Israel alone, we need some actual heroes/heroines in Washington, for a big change-- and by yesterday.


Let’s talk about why it’s okay to say that Hamas’s troops are Nazis.

At American Thinker, we are careful not to call our American political opponents “Nazis” because that cheapens discourse and dishonors the Nazis’ victims. I’ll acknowledge that the Nazis were, and many of the Democrats are, proud socialists. And, as has become obvious in the past week, the Nazis loathed Jews, as do many at the heart of the Democrat party. But Democrats are not slaughtering Jews en masse and are not seeking world domination through force of arms. However, Islamists (an umbrella term that includes Hamas) share every metric with Nazis and, now that we have more details about how they slaughtered Jews, that similarity is more apparent than ever before.

Nazis were socialists, meaning that all power was centralized in the state. Everyone, voluntarily or not, was part of the socialist collective. Islamists are theocrats, meaning the religion and the state are one. Everyone, voluntarily or not, is part of the theocratic collective.

Nazi socialism had as a central tenet the belief that Jews were the enemy of the fascist state and must be destroyed. This tenet came from both Marx and Hitler. It is inseparable from the belief system. To this end, the Nazis came up with the idea of the Holocaust.

Islam has as a central tenet the belief that Jews are the enemy of the Sharia state and must be destroyed. This tenet comes directly from Muhammed. It is inseparable from the belief system. To this end, Muslims have been slaughtering Jews since the 7th century, a practice that continues today.

Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem greatly admired each other because of (among other things) their shared antisemitism:

Hitler dreamed of world domination. Islam is also based upon the principle of a global caliphate. Hitler was, and Muslims always have been, willing to act with tremendous violence to advance this globalist vision. In India alone, some estimates hold that ascendant Islam killed 90 million Hindus over four centuries. Nazis and Islamists have always needed their lebensraum.

Nazis were proud of their actions, with soldiers photographing their acts and Nazi bureaucrats keeping meticulous records about the civilians they murdered. With Hamas, one of the reasons we know so much about what they did to the Jewish civilians they attacked is because they filmed themselves and then shared those videos, sending them to family members of those they murdered and posting them on social media.

And here’s an interesting likeness that you probably didn’t see coming: Hitler’s forces were able to commit their atrocities against civilians and non-civilians alike because they were drugged to the gills with amphetamines. This engine powered the initially unstoppable Third Reich and dulled the troops’ ability to see civilians as fellow human beings.

That was in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Today, Israel announced that it discovered powerful amphetamines on the bodies of the Hamas terrorists who tortured and murdered men, women, and children:

Hamas terrorists who carried out a surprise attack on October 7 were found to be under the influence of Captagon, a synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant that has been clandestinely produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the consumer markets on the Arabian Peninsula, as reported by Nir Dvori of Channel 12.

The pills were recovered from the pockets of many terrorists who lost their lives on Israeli soil.

This stimulant drug, also known as the “cocaine for the poor,” allowed the terrorists to commit heinous acts with a sense of calmness and indifference. Simultaneously, it kept them highly alert for extended periods and suppressed their appetite.

Incidentally, ISIS fighters, part of the worldwide Muslim caliphate, used the drug, too, when they were slaughtering and enslaving Yazidis.

With their moral sense absent because of religious indoctrination and any spark of humanity dulled by drugs, here’s what Hamas soldiers did (and you try to tell yourself that it’s any different from what Nazis did). They tortured young children to death:

They murdered a woman in front of her children, booby-trapped her body, and used the children as human shields.

They forced a boy to call out to his neighbors that all was safe…and then slaughtered the neighbors, making him complicit in their deaths.

I could go on and on for hours. I won’t. It’s sickening. Unbearably sickening. It eats at your soul even to think of these horrors.

And just to give you more context about who’s the Nazi, look at what Hamas’s supporters in America are saying:

Hamas supporters are proud of the Nazi-Hamas nexus:

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, proudly boasts of being a Nazi and uses amphetamines to torture and murder civilians, including children, it’s a Nazi. So, if you’re one of those trying to find some moral equivalence between the drugged-out Hamas fighters deliberately targeting and torturing civilians, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the Israelis, trying desperately to run a clean war by giving civilians a chance to remove themselves from the infrastructure behind which Hamas hides, you’d better ask yourself, “Am I the baddie?”

And by the way, remember that they’re coming for you. This video came out a few years ago, but it seems appropriate now:

Image: An entire family laid to rest, killed only because they were some of over 1,000 civilians slaughtered merely for being Jewish. You can be certain that they did not die easy. None of them did.


Stealth Jihad in American Education

Since the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, college campus rallies in support of the barbaric act have erupted across the nation.  Although world focus is on Israel, this is only one part of the global plan of Islam. 

Islamic law -- Shari’ah -- requires Jihad to be waged as "warfare against non-Muslims” until all the world is under Islamic law.  Jihadist doctrine is advanced by both violent techniques and “civilization jihad,” a stealth subversive effort to destroy Western civilization from within a nation by its own hand.  The pattern of Islam is to use the courts, schools, art museums, and other major institutions including outreach to churches to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally take over a nation.  American education is a prime target.

For decades, billions of petro-dollars have been donated to American universities for the purpose of altering public opinion and U.S. foreign policies.  This subversive shaping of the mindset has reached a wide swath of American society through students studying for careers in banking, business, law, public health, education, and urban studies.  Through university outreach, programs on the Middle East are developed and provided to K-12 and adult education students.

Gifts to American universities are designed also to enhance the image of the Arab states and their rulers, effectively tamping down public criticism of Muslim hostility to Jews as well as Christians. One of the more recent donors and the largest investor in universities, Qatar has an image problem as a funder and supporter of both terrorist groups -- Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood -- and as home base to the rabidly anti-Israel, anti-American Al Jazeera.

Former English diplomat John Kelly noted, “They expect a return upon their donations to institutions of learning and their subsidies to publishing houses; whether it be in the form of subtle propaganda on behalf of Arab or Islamic causes, or the preferential admission of their nationals, however unqualified... or the publication of the kind of sycophantic flim-flam about themselves and their countries which now clutters sections of the Western press and even respectable periodical literature.”

Arab donations between 1986 and October 2022 totally nearly $11 billion with more than 10,000 contracts and gifts spread across 273 institutions.  The total is grossly underestimated because numerous donations have gone unreported. Beginning with Aramco’s funding in the early 1950s, donors from Arab states have quietly made contributions to American universities, hijacking the field of Middle East Studies with faculty, including college presidents, who have been bought for 30 pieces of silver and are using their positions to advance political agendas that are pro-Arab/Palestinian, anti-Israel, and pro-radical Islam.

Though the far Left has never had any real political power, it has controlled the social and cultural narrative.  During the summer of 2020, academics defended looting and/or supported the destruction of the nuclear family while Fortune 500 CEOs did nothing. The most extreme actions actually enjoyed greater publicity.

The brutality of Hamas in murdering babies, raping women, and taking the elderly and disabled as hostages was cheered on by left-wing student groups.  Academics also weighed in.  A Cornell University professor speaking at a recent pro-Palestine rally called the attacks “exhilarating.” A Stanford University instructor told her Jewish students to stand in a corner like “Israel does to Palestinians.” Other academics have posted their support on social media.  Administrators remained silent.

Now it seems the radical Left has gone too far. People are standing up and saying enough is enough. It began with Bill Ackman, the hedge-fund billionaire who learned of an open letter signed by over 30 student groups from Harvard -- his alma mater -- that blamed Israel instead of Hamas for the murders.  Ackman and several other CEOs contacted Harvard to get a list of the members of each Harvard organization that issued the letter.  They are refusing to hire anyone who signed the letter.  Job offers to some graduates already have been rescinded.

Marc Rowan, the chairman of the board of overseers at Wharton who donated $50 million to the school in 2018, called for donors to cease any further donations until the university’s leadership changes.  Vahan Gureghian, a member of the University of Pennsylvania’s board of trustees, resigned.  The Huntsman family announced they have closed their checkbook on all future giving to Penn.  David Magerman, who helped build the trading systems of Renaissance Technologies, said he will cease funding to Penn. The 80th richest man in the world, Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife Batia, resigned from the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

Others followed.  Playboy cut ties with the porn star Mia Khalifa for cheerleading the massacres in Israel.

Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are speaking up in support of Israel.  Even TMZ got in on the game, reporting that Black Lives Matter Chicago has embraced the terrorism of Hamas.  Sopranos fan sites to artists and comedians to any number of household names -- LeBron James The RockReese Witherspoon -- have also responded.

Meanwhile, all those rabid Harvard activists who gleefully signed a pro-murder statement were in a blind panic and tried to explain away their participation, saying they did not read the letter.  Sure.  Are we to believe that very smart Harvard students do not read before they sign?  The public should beware of Harvard-educated lawyers.  At the end, all students removed their names. They are learning that actions do have consequences.

First there was Bud Light and then Target, followed by the snowballing scandal surrounding Ibram Kendi’s antiracism center at Boston University.  With the loss of donors, university administrations suddenly see the virtue in institutional neutrality.  Harvard, Northwestern, and Stanford’s presidents have issued statements that they will cease responding to political, geopolitical, or social issues that do not directly impact the core mission of their universities.  They should have adopted this policy long ago. These cocky academics seem to care little that the public has lost confidence in higher education and, more especially, in elite universities.  

As Ackman pointed out, “None of these institutions are solvent without the support of their alumni. Perhaps this is the beginning of a catalyst for change.”  The question is whether it is too late for these arrogant institutions to regain their reputations.

Most important is that no foreign money be allowed to flow into our educational institutions to shape the mindset of students and influence American policy to support a radical ideology. Since its birth in 1987, Hamas has declared its aim is to destroy Israel. The fact is this Islamic terrorist group intends to annihilate not just Jews but anyone who is not a Muslim.

The pro-Hamas rallies where students celebrated the mass murders and beheadings show just how successful the indoctrination has been.  Since the United States shares with Israel the greatest number of the world's Jewish population, allowing radical Islamic indoctrination of students creates an enemy within and poses a dire threat to our national security.

‘Breaking Biden’ Author: Why Joe Biden Wants an Open Border Despite Terror Threat

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief and New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author Alex Marlow explained why President Joe Biden allows the United States to have an open border despite all of the concerns about potential terrorists entering the country from our porous southern border.

“Much of Washington likes an open border, and Joe Biden is the ultimate Washington establishment creature,” Marlow told YouTuber Stephen Gardner in a Tuesday interview about Marlow’s new book, Breaking Biden.

“He helped create the establishment,” Marlow continued. “There is no human being on earth who’s had more opportunity to close the border or at least secure the border than Joe Biden. Over 30 years in the Senate, eight years as vice president, and now three years as president.”

“He’s had the ability, more than any other person, to take this issue seriously, and he hasn’t. So, clearly it’s intentional,” he added.

Marlow then elaborated on why Biden wants the U.S. border to remain open:

First of all: big business, which is now essentially an arm of the Democrat Party — formerly it was an arm of the Republican establishment, but now it’s really more Democrat, and then also some Republican establishment — they like big influx of illegal immigration. What that does is, it creates a big consumer base, and it drives down wages for working class people. And now we’re even moving into middle class people with Visa overstays, so sort of white collar as well. But the more immigration we have, the less they have to pay their workers. That makes their stock go up. So, their expenses go down.

“Big business loves an open border. Big business loves Joe Biden. I document that in great detail,” Marlow said.

“Next: the Democrat Party,” Marlow continued. “As people get older, they become conservative, and they vote Republican. So the Democrat Party needs a new voter base.”,

“Because Republican Millennials have some children, Democrat Millennials don’t want to have kids as much. They’re not interested in replacing their voters with new people that they can raise up, so the they they’re having fewer children,” he added.

The Breitbart editor-in-chief continued:

They have to figure out a way to get their voters, so they import them. Even though the illegal aliens aren’t supposed to vote — they now vote in local elections — their kids will vote, and they will vote typically for Democrats, for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s the handouts, the big government nanny state. But also, the Democrats are much more sophisticated in getting their ideas into the Spanish language. I’m very critical of Republicans in the book as well about this, that the Democrats — the Democrat establishment, the George Soroses — are buying up radio stations and broadcasting in Spanish.

“We’re missing all these new people who are voters, or at least raising future voters, and we’re ceding all that territory to Democrats,” Marlow said. “The [Democrats] need the border open — and it doesn’t matter what humanitarian strife happens, it doesn’t matter if wages get driven down.”

Marlow added that the establishment media is also “in on it, because they understand this,” noting that he touched upon this issue in his first book, Breaking The News.

The Breitbart News editor concluded that despite the increased activation of radical Islamic terrorists, expect the border to remain open for the aforementioned reasons. He told Breitbart News in a statement that “this is one of the reasons why I wrote Breaking Biden. We are not going to have a secure border so long as Biden is in power. He doesn’t care about national security and he never has.”

“It’s time to get focused and fight.”

Breaking Biden: Exposing the Hidden Forces and Secret Money Machine Behind Joe Biden, His Family, and His Administration is available in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook read by the author.
