In a circus appearance on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning, a smug, arrogant Hunter Biden spit in the face of democracy, abruptly walking out of a House Oversight Committee to hold him in contempt of Congress for defying a Congressional subpoena. 

“Excuse me, Hunter,” said Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as Hunter walked out with his attorneys. “Apparently you’re afraid of my words.”

“I think it’s clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative Republican women because he can’t even face my words as I was about to speak to him,” Greene continued. “What a coward.”

The House Oversight Committee’s meeting on Wednesday was considering a resolution that would arrange a vote by members of the House Oversight Committee on whether to hold him in contempt of Congress for defying a Congressional subpoena. The first son had previously refused to comply with a subpoena demanding he appear for a closed door deposition before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.

“We planned to question Hunter Biden about this record of evidence during our deposition, but he blatantly defied two lawful subpoenas,” said Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.). “Hunter Biden’s willful refusal to comply with the Committees’ subpoenas is a criminal act. It constitutes contempt of Congress and warrants referral to the appropriate United States Attorney’s Office for prosecution as prescribed by law.”

Despite not showing up to the closed door depositions, Hunter and his attorneys, Abbe Lowell and Kevin Morris, sat in the hearing room until Greene had the chance to speak.

South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) blasted Hunter while he was in the room however, saying he was “the epitome of White privilege.”

“What are you afraid of,” Mace asked. “You have no balls.”

“I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here and right now,” Mace continued. “And go straight to jail.”

Mace called Hunter’s appearance and then abrupt departure a “stunt” on social media.

“It’s no secret that Hunter Biden is using his privilege to evade any sense of accountability. He showed up in the People’s House as a PR stunt,” Mace wrote on X. “It’s horrendous that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are standing him as he spits in the face of the American people.”

Jihad vs. Civilization

The David Horowitz Freedom Center speaks the truths no one else will say.

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/jihad-vs-civilization/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:


[The “Jihad Vs. Civilization: The Truth About The Hamas War On Israel” digital ebook is available at the Front Page Magazine store.]

After Oct 7, the journalists, scholars and thinkers with the David Horowitz Freedom Center rallied to tell the truth about what was happening in Israel and around the world.

While the media covered up the real story, we told it in bracing and unflinching language.

The titles of articles like “Genocide The true roots of Islamic Jew-hatred” and “The Enemy Within: Islamic Nazis” by David Horowitz, “Look, Mom, I Killed Some Jews!” by Robert Spencer and “Savages” by Daniel Greenfield reflected the raw truths that we alone were speaking.

This was not a border dispute, it was not about land or even Israel, but about the primal confrontation between civilization and a Jihad dedicated to conquering or destroying it.

Three months later, as leftists and Hamas supporters rampage across our cities, disrupt Christmas tree lightings, attack Holocaust museums and churches, block bridges and airports, the truths told in these articles and many others are more important than ever before.

That is why we have compiled twenty of them into “Jihad Vs. Civilization: The Truth About The Hamas War On Israel” with over 150 pages of compelling facts, ‘follow-the-money’ exposes and clear statements about what this war really is, what it means for us and how to win it.

“Jihad Vs. Civilization” is not just a compilation of articles, it’s a distillation of some of the most important things we need to know about this fight which looks beyond the day-to-day battles to peels back the financial and political layers of who has really been backing and funding this war.

This is an ebook that tells the truth about Islam as only courageous warriors like David Horowitz and Robert Spencer can do, but it also shows how the Biden administration, nonprofits, universities and even the IRS are complicit in aiding the leftist-Islamist campaign of terror.

Where else could you read, for example, that as David Horowitz writes, “The roots of Islamic Jew hatred… actually go back more than a thousand years to the prophet Mohammed.”

And where else could you learn that, “when Biden restored aid to the terrorists, Israeli casualties shot up 900%.They rose every year Biden was in office, up another 82% from 2021 to 2022. Even before the horrifying atrocities of the conclusion of the Jewish High Holy Days, twice as many Israelis had been killed in one month of Biden than in one year of Trump. The money kept on rolling in even days before the attacks when UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield declared herself ‘proud to announce the United States is providing more than $73 million in additional funding to support UNRWA’” which is just a UN front for Hamas.

There are ‘inconvenient truths’ here that Al Gore wouldn’t touch with a thousand foot pole.

“Our special envoys and diplomats mistakenly take it for granted that enough Palestinian Arabs truly want ‘two lands living side by side in peace,’ rather than follow their faith’s command that any land conquered by Muslims remains Islamic forever,” Bruce Thornton writes. They “dismiss this obvious fact as an ‘Islamophobic’ slur, despite decades of Palestinian Arabs telling us that ‘diplomatic engagement’ and ‘agreements’ are mere tactics sanctioned by Islam.”

And there are compelling doses of reality here that must be spread far and wide.

“What retaliation is ‘proportionate’ to the burning alive of families?” Mark Tapson asks. “This notion of ‘proportionate response’ is entirely bogus. It is nothing more than a fake moral demand from Israel’s left-wing enemies to prevent her from defending herself. Only Israel is expected to respond ‘proportionately’ to ongoing terror attacks from an organization whose commitment to eradicating the Jewish state is enshrined in its own charter.”

Before Harvard’s Claudine Gay made headlines for her openness to Jewish genocide, Bruce Bawer wrote that, “Harvard has over 1.3 administrators per student. Most of these people are superfluous at best and mischief-makers at worst – DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) bureaucrats who strive to protect students from ‘microaggression’ but who shrug indifferently at cries of ‘kill the Jews.'”

“Jihad Vs. Civilization: The Truth About The Hamas War On Israel” pulls no punches whether it’s going after Students for Justice in Palestine, “so convinced of their political invulnerability that they openly quote Hamas and celebrate rape, kidnapping and murder”, the Biden administration “the murdered Israelis, the raped women and the caged children, fulfilled the foreign policy aims of the Biden administration which were to weaken Israel” or Islam “the call to murder the Jews – ‘every last one’ – and to behead them as infidels, is part of the sacred texts of Islam.”

This is an ebook that encompasses what the David Horowitz Freedom Center has been doing all along, no matter how unpopular it may be, and that is telling the unfiltered truth.

After the Hamas attacks, a 2010 video of David Horowitz at UC San Diego went viral in which he asked a member of the Muslim Students Association , “I am a Jew. The head of Hezbollah has said that he hopes that we will gather in Israel so he doesn’t have to hunt us down globally. For or Against it?”

And she replied, “For it.”

Behind that video was much more than just a single moment.

David Horowitz, Robert Spencer and many of the others quoted in the ebook had been warning about the civilizational threat of the Jihad and fighting it long before it was in the headlines.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center went on campuses where we faced threats, violence and even arrests for telling the truth about Islamic terror (that’s another story told in this ebook), we campaigned, exposed and kept on speaking out even when we were targeted by administrators, a powerful government agency and when we had to go to court to defend our rights.

“Jihad Vs. Civilization” is our latest entry in the fight to save civilization from its enemies. It’s the story of the real war on the battlefield of ideas that is taking place in our streets, our campuses and our government. It will arm you with the facts and the truths we need to fight back.

Reuters and AP ‘journalists’ watched Hamas lynchings and kidnappings, urged civilians to join

This is in addition to earlier reports about “journalists” being embedded with the jihadis.

As I have pointed out many times, Reuters and AP are far-Left propaganda outfits, not news sources.

“Reuters, AP journalists watched Hamas lynchings, kidnappings and urged civilians to join,” by Vered Weiss, World Israel News, January 8, 2024 (thanks to the Geller Report):

Journalists working for Reuters, AP and other media outlets were present with Hamas terrorists at the October 7th massacres and encouraged others to take part, according to Honest Reporting.

Ashraf Amra, who had been working for Reuters and AP in a video is seen viewing and enjoying another photojournalist’s footage of an IDF soldier being lynched.

The two journalists were recalling how they infiltrated Israel’s border and were laughing as they described how the soldier’s body was mutilated and brutalized even after he was dead.

Ashraf Amra has been greeted and kissed twice by Hamas terror leader Ismail Haniyeh, and in addition to working for Reuters and AP, he also is a journalist for APA Images and Turkish news agency Anadolu.

Abu Mostafa, who also works for Reuters, discussed with relish witnessing atrocities and kidnappings in Sderot and other places.

Mostafa said he had been there since the beginning of the massacre and from a safe room watched Hamas terrorists taking away Israelis who were hiding.

One photojournalist had a message for others, “Advice, whoever can go – go. It is a one-time event that will not happen again.”

Another said in agreement, “Really, it will not repeat itself.”

The first journalist bragged about watching 50 women being taken captive.

In the video, he continued encouraging Gazans to take part and said they could go 10 kilometers or more into Israel.

A photograph from one of the photojournalists was voted “Picture of the Year” by Reuters….

NYC: Muslim YouTube star storms Israeli café and rips down Israeli flag

Imagine the outcry if a Jewish “influencer” had taken down the Palestinian flag somewhere. But beyond the accusations detailed below, no one will particularly mind this.

“YouTuber ripped as antisemite after defacing Israeli flag at NYC cafe, harassing customers,” by Deirdre Bardolf, New York Post, January 6, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A controversial Muslim YouTuber who rocketed to internet stardom in street fight videos has been posting footage of himself harassing customers in an Israeli café and at a Starbucks in Manhattan, revolting some fans who ripped him as “antisemitic.”

Adam Saleh — who’s been seen in photos with Mike Tyson and Andrew Tate and was set to fight on a Jake Paul undercard last February before the match was canceled last minute — stormed Union Square cafe Blue Stripes and pulled down its Israeli flag in December.

“Free, free Palestine,” chanted Saleh, 30, as he and two friends paraded around the café in the Dec. 15 video, which collected over 50,000 “likes” before being deleted following The Post’s inquiry….

In the video, Saleh — a Brooklyn native whose parents are from Yemen, and who has 4.7 million YouTube subscribers and 1.5 million Instagram followers — turns to a huge Israeli flag hanging in the window of the coffee shop.

“I should take that off,” he says as he unhooks one corner of the flag, letting it fall to the side.

“You don’t have a right to do that,” one shocked patron countered.

“I don’t give a f–k what you say,” Saleh responds.

“You know they’re killing kids, they’re promoting killing kids,” he continues, repeating claims by the Hamas terrorist group.

Café owner Alon Kazdan, 49, said he put up the Israeli flag after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on his country, and now protestors come in every day to disrupt his shop.

“I get these people who come in saying, ‘Free Palestine,’ and cursing and doing whatever they feel like doing, you know, but I’m okay with it,” Kazdan, who is from Tel Aviv, told The Post. “I’m just doing it because this is who I am. I’m proud of who I am.”…

Former First Lady Melania Trump has announced that her mother, Amalija Knavs, has passed away at the age of 78.

On Tuesday, Trump took to X to announce the passing of her beloved mother.

“It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija,” Trump wrote in a statement.

“Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.  She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy,” she continued.

Amalija Knavs’s illness came to light after her daughter was noticeably absent from the Trump family’s Christmas photo and from the New Year’s Eve celebration at her Mar-a-Lago home. During the event, Donald Trump acknowledged his mother-in-law’s condition, confirming that she was “very ill.”

“Melania — great first lady, so popular, the people love her — she’s now in a hospital with her mother. Her mother, Amalija, is very ill, but hopefully she’ll be recovering,” the 45th president said at the party.

“But she’s been very ill, so I just want to say ‘hello’ to the first lady — we just spoke, down in Miami, great hospital — and hopefully they’ll be ok. But it’s a tough one, it’s a very tough one,” he continued. “She knows probably about 95% of the people in this room. We just want to wish Amalija that she gets better as quickly as possible.”

Melania has remained by her mother’s side during her time at a Miami hospital. Information regarding when she checked in to the hospital and what she was admitted for have not been released to the public.

The former first lady maintained a strong, close-knit relationship with her mother and her father, Viktor Knavs. The Knavses have been living with her immediate family at Mar-a-Lago for years. When their son-in-law was president, the couple lived on the upper floors of the White House. In particular, Melania’s mother had a great relationship with her 17-year-old grandson Barron Trump.
