Editor’s note: Below are the video and transcript of remarks from a powerhouse panel at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s 2023 Restoration Weekend. The event was held Oct. 26-29 at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans..

Transcript:

Kenneth Timmerman:

Thank you. Well, thank you very much for having me. I want to thank David Horowitz also for this for hosting these events. Christina, my wife, and I have been here a number of times over the years, and it’s always a wonderful get-together– a pleasure to see old faces, and old friends and meet new people. I want to run through just a couple of things for you in the beginning before we open up for questions. Remember the day that Donald Trump left office? Russia, China, North Korea were all in the box. ISIS had been defeated. Iran was not killing Americans. They had been deterred through maximum sanctions and the justified assassination of top terrorist Qassem Soleimani. And by the way, many Trump advisers were telling him not to do that. They were terrified that the Iranians were going to retaliate in some horrible World war horrible way. We would be at a world war with Iran, the Islamic regime and a number of us said, no, no, no. If you hit the Iranians hard, very hard, they will not respond. Remember what Ronald Reagan did in April of 1988, Operation Praying Mantis. Now, the Iranians had been harassing oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, and in one day, one 24-hour period, the U.S. Navy sank one third of the Iranian navy.

And we didn’t hear from them again for quite some time. Also, when Trump left office, the Europeans had stepped up to the plate and began to increase their contributions to NATO. Remember that was a big deal and the left-wing media was accusing Trump of being an isolationist, anti-NATO, anti-European, when in fact what he did was he got the Germans in particular, but the French as well and others to increase their contributions to NATO as part of the collective defense. Israel, when Trump left office had signed peace agreements with four Arab and Muslim countries. The US Embassy had been moved. Trump moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Also, gasoline was at 1.87 a gallon. That was the day Trump left office. The next day, the very first day of the Biden administration, Joe Biden signed a series of executive orders. He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. He shut down drilling in Alaska. He shut down drilling on federal lands, and new permits. He backed away from the Abraham Accords, those peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors. He alienated Mohammed bin Salman, who was eager to get closer to Israel and perhaps become the fifth country to join the Abraham Accords. Biden alienated him. And ultimately, when gasoline went up, when oil prices went up, he had to go there banging his tin, his tin cup to Riyadh. Biden also right at the beginning, stopped enforcing those sanctions on Iran and allowed the Iranians to escape this noose that had been around their neck under Trump, where we had reduced their oil exports to 400,000 barrels a day. Within a year, they were up over a million. This past year, they have exported 1.6 million barrels a day to China alone. So Iran was in the box as well. I used to say that under Obama it was better to be a Mullah in Tehran than a Jew in his capital, Jerusalem. But now, I think under Biden, I’ve got to change that a little bit: it’s better to be a mullah in Tehran, a communist in China or Venezuela than an American. Joe Biden has put into practice un-American policies. He is an un-American president. I listened to Jack Keane the other night, and it seemed to me the one big thing that he missed. He gave a brilliant overview of the threats that we’re facing and the weaknesses we have now in our military and elsewhere. But he forgot one thing.

We have had two un-American presidents in recent history. Barack Obama promised that he would transform America, fundamentally transform America. He did. He started that process and Biden realized that he’s not going to have that many years and he has accelerated it on steroids. Remember when Obama came in, that apology tour that he went on around the world? That’s how it began, apologizing for America around the world. He gave a speech which really everybody should recall here in April of 2009 in Cairo, and sitting behind him were the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. Right behind him, you could see every camera caught the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood sitting right behind them. They were outlaws at that time in Egypt. At the University of Cairo, Obama invited the heads of the outlawed heads of the Muslim Brotherhood and did not invite President Mubarak, who was not there. And within a year and a half, Mubarak was out, the Arab Spring had begun, our security arrangements in the Middle East went to hell in a handbasket. And by September of 2012, you had the attack on our consular facility in Benghazi and the U.S. did nothing.

So this has been going on. You had two terms of Obama and now the first term of Biden. And they have been deconstructing American security hand over fist. Now, we’ve all been following, obviously, what’s happened in Gaza. And you know, I can recall– I’ve been in those tunnels, not that not in Gaza, but I was actually first in the tunnels in Beirut after the 1982 war. I told that story and in my book, which is kind of how I became a hostage, an arms dealer and an Israeli spy. True story, all of them true stories. I think some people have commented on my fictions that they read like newspaper stories and my nonfiction books read like novels. So you can make up your mind. But I’ve seen those tunnels. And in Beirut, this was the PLO before Hamas. In Beirut, they were big enough that they could drive Katyusha rocket launchers into the tunnels after they had fired. So they fired Israel back up the rocket launchers into the tunnels so the Israelis couldn’t find them. So you wonder why Hamas still has that capability of firing rockets at Israel. That’s why it has tunnels that are big enough for to put all those rocket launchers in. Add to all of these structural problems, of these policy problems that you have with President Biden. You have the corruption problem. You have the corruption problem. Biden has been visibly bribed by our adversaries, starting with communist China. He’s taken money from the Ukrainians. He’s taken money from Russian oligarchs. We don’t know what they have, what promises they got from him in exchange, but clearly he is compromised. People have asked me, are we getting towards World War III? And if you look now, war in Ukraine, war in Gaza. Soon we could have war in the Far East with China. I would say we are very, very close to that point. We are at a very dangerous moment in our history and we have an extremely weak president who hates America. Thank you.

Frank Gaffney:

Well, I do this with some trepidation, but I’d like to correct my friend Ken Timmerman. We’re IN World War III, folks. It has begun. I think the opening salvo was Ukraine. I think the next is the Middle East, of course, how broadly we’ll see. But as I said yesterday, the engine behind it is the Chinese Communist Party. And this is the subject of the book that I mentioned. We’ll be signing it outside afterwards. But what we tried to do with this book is to synthesize the most important insights that we’ve received for some   time– 75 different webinars that we’ve conducted under the banner of our Committee on the Present Danger of China, aimed at laying out the fact that the Chinese Communist Party has been at war with this country for decades, specifically, as they have called it. It is an unrestrained open warfare that they’ve waged. But the purpose of it, like everything else in the war business, is destruction, specifically the destruction of the United States, because we are, after all, the only real impediment to the realization of the Chinese Communist Party’s long-standing ambition, which is to be the world’s hegemonic. And they pursued that relentlessly through all manner of means. And so what we call the indictment, which starts actually with their crimes against their own people, crimes against humanity on an epic scale, by some estimates, they’ve killed 100 million of predominantly their own people, some Uighurs, some Tibetans, some Southern Mongolians. Yes, but it’s mostly Han Chinese; and that does not count the 400 million they boast of killing–as our previous guest from North Korea mentioned–in the womb.

And I want you just to take this thought aboard any country that treats its own people that badly will not treat ours better. In fact, what they have been doing in these unrestricted warfare techniques is what one might expect, what is not so much a political party as it is a transnational criminal organization, and that is war crimes, war crimes that include things like the economic takedown of America’s industrial base, things like turning us against one another through the kinds of Marxist techniques that we’ve been talking about throughout the past two days, whether it’s in our universities, whether it’s in our businesses, ESG, whether it’s in our government now. Now, again, our friend from North Korea mentioned the diversity officer that she heard from. They’re throughout the government, what amounts to political commissars enforcing the critical race theory—DEI agenda. Not least, there was that recent unpleasantness, as Simone talked about last night, of a biological warfare attack against our country with all the damage that that did. Yes, to people, to lives, to businesses to our society, to our freedoms. And that, of course, is just a precursor for what is probably yet to come. Having done a proof of concept as to how deadly that could be, even if it wasn’t that deadly, a disease, I mentioned yesterday on our panel that one of the most effective of the techniques has been the capture of our elites, not just the political elites like Joe Biden. And by the way, for the purposes of calibration, I don’t think I mentioned this yesterday, but one of our colleagues of the Committee on the Present Danger– China is a fabulous guy. You’ve seen him probably on a forum and perhaps elsewhere. Sam Faddis, spent 20 years of his life recruiting and running assets for the Central Intelligence Agency and some of the real garden spots of the world. He knows a thing or two about the business, and he says that in the lexicon of the trade, the President of the United States is a, quote, controlled asset of the Chinese Communist Party, unquote. So elite capture is a big problem. I mentioned yesterday, I think it’s not just in the political elite, it is in the business elite as media. Joe was talking about that. It is in Hollywood. David Horowitz cut his teeth on that problem–Academia. And yes, not least it’s in the United States military. In fact, one of the crimes we charge the CCP with is taking down our military. And you heard Heather talking about this a moment ago. Critical race theory is devastating to any organization, but particularly one that has to be based on merit. You start promoting people on the basis of the color of their skin or some other diversity condition, you destroy the organization. There’s no unit cohesion, there’s no confidence in leadership. There’s no willingness to sacrifice for the guy next to you because he may be an oppressor or a victim who hates you. This is Marxism, folks. This is cultural Marxism.

It has marched through all of our institutions. It is about advancing the cause of the Chinese Communist Party to destroy this country. And our president and many of his subordinates have, as I said to you yesterday, promulgated and implemented policies that have two things in common. One, they are all bad for us. And two, they are all good for these guys.

I think it’s without exception, as Ken said, starting on day one. So I want to leave you with this thought: we have 20 specific steps that we think can make a difference in the trajectory of what this collective– Robert Spencer was talking about–the collective this some of my friends who are more familiar with Star Trek history than I say; This is the Borg, right? You remember the line about the Borg Resistance is futile. That’s what they would like us to believe. Well, we have no choice but to engage in resistance of every kind. We’ve got. Again, 20 different suggestions, starting with getting people who are captured elites out of positions to govern this country or otherwise exercise power over us. I commend it to you, if only because–well you were obviously high up the learning curve on all of these issues–people you love aren’t, people you work with aren’t, people who will be voting hopefully usefully next year aren’t. And we must get them equipped to help do a course correction for this country or it is certainly lost. And I’ll leave you just one last thought. The single most important thing we know we must do is to is invoke God’s grace, because with his help, we’ll get through it. And without it, we’re toast.

Scott Powell:

It’s hard to follow that one, but I’m a great admirer of Frank’s work. My topic is going to be a little different tonight, and there’s some bad news to cover and probably some new information. But then there’s really good optimistic news at the end. Now that we all know that: the COVID 19 pandemic was not actually a pandemic of the unvaccinated, we know that the southern border is anything but secure, we know that the Inflation Reduction Act has been anything other than a program that’s raised prices and caused inflation; and we know that January 6th was hardly an insurrection. In fact, November 3rd was–I’ll call it a coup. Insurrection usually involves arms and that wasn’t present. But it’s really troubling that our federal government is operating almost entirely on false narratives. You know, you can’t get successful policies if the input at the base of all the discussion and all the policymaking is based on false narratives. And it’s not just the Democrats. Republicans are also giving credence to some of these false narratives. What I want to talk about today is energy security. And when it comes to energy security, we cannot afford to base policies on false narratives. The current energy policy that we have is all about the Green New Deal, and that is the Green New Deal is to replace fossil fuels and I don’t like to use that term fossil fuels because science is discovering that these are probably not oil. Gas probably did not come from the decomposition of organic matter, but has actually come from the earth, the creation itself. So we’re going to call it hydrocarbons. And the idea is to replace all the hydrocarbons with wind and solar. And they call this the goal by 2050, net zero CO2—the end of reducing CO2. Now, this is not just unrealistic and foolish, but it is it’s disruptive and harmful to the environment. We probably don’t have time to talk about what it does to the environment, but it’s economically unachievable. In fact, it will lead to our economic ruin. And it will lead to mass death, and it certainly would cripple our military. So let’s do a little primer on energy. Okay. There are many sources of energy, but there’s two basic types. There is energy on demand, and there’s something called stored energy. Energy on demand is what we’re all pretty familiar with. It’s gas in the tank diesel. It’s natural gas in electric power generation, it’s uranium. In other words, the fuel can you can turn it on and go. Stored energy is what the Green New Deal is all about. It is energy that is stored because the wind doesn’t always blow, the sun doesn’t always shine. And so in order to build out the system to power the country, you have to have stored energy.

So let me let me ask you a question. Just because the issue is all back to CO2, is that net zero CO2. Can anyone tell me that among the three main elements of the atmosphere–and that would be oxygen, CO2 and nitrogen– what are the percentages of our atmospheres? Does anybody know? It’s actually a 4/100 of 1% is CO2. Now the other part of CO2 is understanding what’s the mixture, how much comes from nature and how much does man. Because the argument is that if we reduce what we contribute to CO2, that we can somehow stabilize the climate. You know, they used to talk about global warming, but the temperature was not actually getting warmer. And so they decided to change tax. So let’s talk a little bit about the history. Prior to 1850, Niger produced about 98% of all CO2 and man’s contribution was about 2%. That’s somewhat pre-industrial revolution. But since 1850, what’s happened? We have a seven-fold increase in global population. Seven times more people live on the earth today than in 1850. And we’ve been through an industrial revolution. How has that changed the contribution of what man does to build up CO2? Well, the numbers changed a little bit. We have probably 3 to 4% contribution by man to the CO2 in the atmosphere and the other 96, 97% comes from natural sources, the biggest one being the ocean itself. Now, in terms of parts per million, total CO2 makes up about 417 parts per million. And that’s that, you know, one for hundreds of 1%. So if you if you think that man and what man contributes is about 17 or 18 parts per million, if you think we could just reduce our 17 or 18 parts to zero, then the atmosphere would have about 400 parts per million CO2. Now, if you think that small change from 417 to 400 is going to change climate change, I think I think it’s fair to say you’d be a certifiable lunatic or a liar. It’s just not going to make the difference. Now, the history of temperature of CO2, today’s levels of CO2 are now close to the lowest that they’ve been in the history of the Earth.

Did you hear that CO2 is at closer to the lowest levels in history. Increasing CO2 levels does result in higher temperatures, that’s true, but the correlation is not absolute. For instance, as we pointed out, there’s more CO2 now in the last 75 years, post-World War II, but temperature has not gone up. So this correlation is not absolute. Now, the economics of achieving this net zero CO2, this is kind of a key area, because solar and wind are intermittent power. The sun doesn’t always shine. The wind doesn’t always blow. You really need to scale up the infrastructure and the storage of energy, and you really need a 30 day storage. That’s what the experts say. You’ve got to have about 30 days of stored energy that you would build up during the times when the sun’s out and the wind’s blowing. So what does it cost to get there? This is a number of very few economists look, but those that have put the numbers at an astronomical level. I think the work of Ken Gregory, who is a climate/energy engineer in Canada, he’s calculated in his early days that it was about $300 Trillion dollars. Now, he estimates that to get a system that would really sustain energy based on wind and solar, we would have to spend $433 trillion in one year. 433 trillion! So that’s just unrealistic. And even if you were to go half and half, it’s still a price we could literally never afford. So I’ve saved the best news for last. And in terms of hydrocarbons, not the fossil fuel, the hydrocarbons, the United States has the largest proven and presently accessible oil reserves and natural gas reserves by far of any country in the world.  In oil, it’s estimated at about 300 billion barrels more than Saudi Arabia and more than Russia. But perhaps more importantly because the future will be able to break through in other areas and be able to draw more out through technology.

The US has the largest known deposits of oil shale in the world, and according to the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. has at least 2.175 trillion barrels of potentially recoverable oil. This is all in the United States under our territory. And so who benefits if we don’t benefit from the Green New Deal?

Well, it it turns out that the Chinese are the chief beneficiaries of the Green New Deal because they supply 75% of all the in the parts, the production, the manufacturing of solar panels. And the Chinese controls 77% of the lithium battery market. They literally control the supply of cobalt, which is a necessity. And they control about 75% of the lithium. So no one has really said, well, we’re being led down this path because the Chinese know that if they can get us far enough down this path, then, we’ll ruin our energy economy and they won’t even need to fire a shot and they can just take us over. So I think I’m out of time and I’ll leave it there.

Tommy Waller

So just before I start, a little bit more good news to add to Scott’s. We also have 93,000 metric tonnes of slightly used nuclear fuel, which if recycled in fast reactors, would provide electricity, clean and carbon-free for the country for 150 to 250 years. This is something I’ve already briefed the Secretary of Energy twice about and she refuses to act on it. But we’re working it at the state level. That’s another subject. What I was asked to talk about was the military and the credit to Congressman Louie Gohmert.

When I walked in the back and we started to talk and I showed him the picture of my family the last day I was in uniform, he asked: What was your pronoun? I said, Killer, right? Killer. And what I mean, in all seriousness, don’t we want Marines to be killers? And so how did we go from killers to what Scott just said, which is liars and lunatics? Well, I’ll just tell you that, as Scott mentioned about, you know, the military’s worried about CO2 right now. The only people the military should be worried about are submariners and combat divers. And that’s it. Nobody else. And what Ken Timmerman talked about, thank you again for talking about what Obama said in the 2008-2009 time frame. I remember watching his speech having just returned from my third combat deployment where he said there was no such thing as al Qaeda in Iraq, and yet I lost a third of my platoon killed in action, and a half were wounded. One of which, his parents–he was the only child–gave me a copy of this US Constitution and said, never forget what he died for and I never will. But what I watched was a U.S. senator lying to the American people and apologizing for our behavior in those countries where I remember raiding a Taliban stronghold. After we took him prisoner, I gave him the blankets that we had so they wouldn’t freeze while I was wrapped up in a VS17 air panel, not the pink side out, but the orange side out with another Marine to stay warm. Right. And here he is apologizing for us.

So you fast forward the clock to September 11th, 2012, where I was south of Libya. And remember what happened there right. And as we mobilize to get ready to go help and we were told to stand down, what I remember is being lied to again when I flew back to Sigonella, Sicily, and I was given a classified briefing saying that it was a video. So the result of a video, if you remember the false narrative spun about the well-planned assault in Benghazi. So these were lies that I began to witness in uniform in my service. But let me just talk about my time as a commander briefly. Fast forward from September 11, 2012, to September 11, 2020. I’m at a senior leader legal course. It’s virtual, of course, because we’re so scared of COVID that at the time these lawyers are trying to help commanders figure out how to allow their service members to participate in the protests happening around the country. If you remember the Summer of Love 2020, and I asked a couple of questions, one of which was: should there be some level of professional competence by which military officers ought to be judged? And if they can’t meet that level of competence, could they be removed from the service? Right. If you’re a doctor and you hurt somebody through malpractice, you can you can lose your license. If you’re a lawyer, you can be disbarred. What is there for the U.S. military to ask that question? Because they said, it’s 19 years ago today that we were struck by airplanes on September 11th, and yet we have willfully refused to study the doctrine of Sharia. That’s right. So where is our professional competence? And by the way, these protests that you’re talking about, allowing our service members to participate in, let me just send you some links real quick. Here’s a link to the Constitution for the new Socialist Republic of North America, authored by a gentleman named–he’s not a gentleman–authored by a communist. He name is Bob Avakian of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. 11 years ago, a constitution meant to supplant ours. And here’s a link to Bob Avakian participating in supporting all of these protests of our current president. So how is it that you have any professional competence to be suggesting that our service members participate in this? Of course I have no answer. Fast forward the clock, I’m in command. We know what happened on January 6 of 2021. In the spring of 2021, we were given a mandate for extremism in the ranks stand down. You may remember that right? Hundreds of man hours were spent. This was the top priority of the US military. And what I noticed is that the training material was void of six examples where members of the US Army either murdered their fellow service members. We remember Fort Hood, a major Nidal Hasan, or they planned to do so, and thankfully were caught ahead of time. Not a single mention of a jihadi in uniform for the extremism in the ranks stand down. We go back to professional competence. You fast forward to the summer of 2021, the weekend of July 4th. I asked my employer–thank God that I work for the Center for Security Policy– for my civilian job and was serving in the reserves.

I was in command of the Marine Corps’ only independent force recon company in the Reserves. And so I’ve got a lot of stud killers, as we might call them, if that’s their pronoun, who we’re very concerned about this vaccine. And I asked Frank and the rest of the team: Hey, can you guys cover for me this week before July 4th? I need to take some time and I need to study this thing. And I did with the type of unconstrained analysis that I’ve been blessed to be told to do by Frank for so many years. And I discovered some really worrisome things, both medically and legally. And I did everything I could to bring that up to the chain of command. And I was warned. I was warned by the one colonel above me who cared about me. He said, Tommy, this is political and you better tread careful because you’re going to be crushed like an ant. And so we fast forward the clock into late August. Afghanistan is collapsing. I’m supposed to be going to the range with my Marines, and we were going to shoot and we were also going to do a bit of a spiritual restoration time and in the field. And I had a guy, an American hero who you may know. You may have heard him, Chad Robichaux, Mighty Oaks Foundation. He is a buddy of mine who served in the same unit a few years ahead. I was going to have Chad come out and after we got off the range, have a good heart to heart; to talk with the Marines about spiritual warfare. We’re on a conference call with all the generals, and all they’re talking about is the vaccine numbers. Nothing about Afghanistan. I’m like, I got to just say Afghanistan in this conference call at one point.  So, I just bring up the point: hey, generals, we’re not going to be able to do our spiritual restoration training this drill, because the guy that was going to give it to us is in Afghanistan. I get a phone call right after : “you’ve got a guy in Afghanistan?” No , it’s Chad Robichaud, he used to be a guy in our unit. He’s in Afghanistan. “Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.” Okay. Well, then Chad calls and he needs one of our guys, one of my top snipers and recon men.

I didn’t even ask permission. I said go and the mission they did brought back 17,000 vetted allies, widows and orphans. And the single biggest obstacle they had was the U.S. government. And when the general found out that I had a marine in Afghanistan, I got a phone call. Nobody was worried about if he got snatched up, which he almost did. And his parents are on Tucker Carlson, they’re going to ask why was he there? That’s what the general cared about. That’s what he cared about. Fast forward, October 23rd, just a couple of days ago. 2021 was my change of command. I was very fortunate because I took a stand on the vaccine mandate and I made it very clear to those above me that what they were asking me to do was to violate the law. We’ve got to think about this. This was a well-planned operation. First it was data harvesting, right? Think about it. Governments and corporations around the country said there will be a process. Tell us your strongly held religious beliefs. And we did. Right. And once they got that data, then the purge began. And it was a very well-orchestrated purge in the military. What they did was they created the conditions by which I would have had to violate U.S. law to compel my service members to take it. So regardless of how you feel about the vaccine itself, it would be to violate law for me to force them to do it. And I tried to bring that up and I was ignored. I was warned. I was also blessed because I wasn’t court martialed. I wasn’t disciplined. They just waited until I got out the way. And so I changed command. I was already scheduled to change command. I passed that, got on to the next commander, and that was a picture I showed the congressman earlier of my family the last time I wore the uniform; and three hours later the Marine Corps passed the guidance that any unvaccinated commander would be immediately relieved for cause because I was out of the way. And so for a year, I tried to continue to serve. I tried to join units I wouldn’t.  I had to drop to the individual ready reserve. We lost our health benefits. When it was time to get a new ID card, I tried to go right here to this city, the reserve headquarters of the United States Marine Corps, to get a new ID.

I brought my whole family in their Sunday’s best. I had intended to bring them to see the memorial for our fallen Marines, and we were barred access to the facility. I was told it was COVID protocol. I looked at my wife with tears in her eyes. A woman who’s got the toughest job in the Corps not allowed on base. So they’re serious about purging the force from the very top. Now, that doesn’t mean that all the generals are terrible. Most of them are right now, and all the service members are terrible. They’re still good patriots that need our support. And that’s exactly what we’re doing right now. The good news is this. Just this past week, I met with an attorney who’s agreed to take on the cases of wrongful separation over the mandate. And she is a powerhouse. So this is an attorney that literally changed–you can’t sue the government right, until until she came along where a service member had been maltreated, medically maltreated. And she won a case that now has set a precedent. So service members that have been maltreated by the government can sue the government. And so she’s about to take this one on.

And then the other thing is I’ll just mention that we’re also taking on threats locally. I went to Tulane University right down the road. Do we know what happened there on Thursday?  If you don’t, there was a riot, essentially pro-Palestinian Hamas, organized by the Muslim Student Association. Anybody who knows about the Muslim Brotherhood knows was the very first in 1963, a Muslim Brotherhood front organization. That was Thursday, yesterday morning, about 6 a.m.. I get a call from my sister in law in tears. She lives about 15 minutes from here. I’m in Washington. Why did she called me this early? She’s in tears because the SWAT team just left her house because she was swatted because her two sons are Jewish. She’s a Tulane alma mater. Whatever they posted online must have caused them to get SWAT. We don’t know. It’s still being investigated. Here’s the good news. Over the last few years, legislation that we helped write in the state of Louisiana made it a predicate crime for RICO to have any sort of material support for terrorism. What does that mean? That means it allows lawyers to get both attorney’s fees and treble damages if they can find that somebody materially supported terrorism. What’s the Muslim Student Association doing at Tulane? Starting riots. Right. Okay. And what we’re going to do next, and this is the last thing I’ll say is we’re going to get the Louisiana legislature, God willing, is to amend that law that we’ve already passed to add as another predicate commission of assault and battery during riots organized by such organizations. So that the things we saw on Thursday can become something that we can actually pursue directly right here in this state.

Thank you.

Why would anyone expect truth from a people who indoctrinate their children to hate and murder Israelis, spread lies including blood libels, celebrate “martyrdom” and use human shields? The nature of the jihad war was revealed on October 7. Jihad is savage, and marked by deceit. The deceit is the hallmark of the stealth jihad, which skillfully employs propaganda.

Taqiyya (dissimulation) is an encouraged practice in Islam, backed by a Qur’anic verse:

And they [the disbelievers] schemed, and Allah schemed: and Allah is the best of schemers.  Quran 3:54

As accurately stated about Palestinian culture by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak:

“They are products of a culture in which to tell a lie… creates no dissonance….They don’t suffer from the problem of telling lies that exists in Judaeo-Christian culture….Truth is seen as an irrelevant category……There is only that which serves your purpose and that which doesn’t. They see themselves as emissaries of a national movement for whom everything is permissible. There is no such thing as ‘the truth’.”

Yet despite copious evidence regarding the Palestinian zeal for the “resistance” no matter what, Biden is still groveling to Muslims. He’s likely trying to salvage a prior vow he made to serve Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups in exchange for their votes. Biden still faces the stark truth, as other Western leaders do: that Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have offshoots all over America and other Western countries.

“Biden offers apology to Muslim-American leaders for questioning Hamas death toll: report,” by Stepheny Price, Fox News, November 26, 2023:

President Biden reportedly issued an apology to several prominent Muslim-American leaders after openly questioning the accuracy of the death toll figures from Gaza.

During a press conference on Oct. 25, President Biden openly questioned the number of causalities in Gaza, which are reported by the Hamas government.

“I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” Biden said. “I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s a price of waging war.”

Biden met with five Muslim American leaders the day after his Oct. 25 comments about reported Gaza deaths.

During the meeting, Biden listened to the leaders describe people they knew who were directly impacted by the conflict in the Middle East.

“I’m sorry. I’m disappointed in myself,” Biden told the group, according to the Washington Post.

The Muslim-American leaders who met with Biden urged him to show more empathy to the Palestinians and Biden allegedly hugged one of the participants at the end of the meeting….

Biden Support Continues to Crater Among Gen Z and Millenials

Young voters are abandoning Joe Biden in worrying numbers for the Democrats, especially when it comes to supporting Israel. The most recent NBC poll found 70% of 18-24-year-old voters disapprove of Biden's handling of the war.

The Israel-Hamas war is beginning to be a drag on Biden's re-election chances. What he can do to reverse the decline is a subject of intense debate in the Biden camp.

Some "experts," according to the Washington Post, say that the younger voters are turned off to the "far-right politics" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, the explanation is far simpler; a lack of skepticism about news coming from Gaza and the inability of Gen-Zers to differentiate between news and propaganda.

“After what’s happening right now in the Middle East, it’s a very difficult decision for people from my background who we’re going to be voting for,” said Humza Irfan, who is Pakistani American and said a relative was killed last month in an apparent Israeli strike.

Gen Z and millennial voters are expected to make up nearly 40 percent of the electorate in 2024 and have already flexed their influence on elections. They helped flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this year to a liberal majority, and they boosted turnout on college campuses in Pennsylvania and Virginia in this month’s elections. Polling showed young voters were highly motivated by issues such as abortion, in which there is a clear contrast between the stances of Biden and Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination.

But a diminished turnout among young voters could complicate Biden’s reelection bid, especially in key battleground states such as Michigan. Biden flipped the state in 2020, and network exit polls found 61 percent of Michigan voters ages 18 to 29 supported his campaign.

“We all have TikTok, we all have Instagram. And it’s honestly like we’ve begun to form these parasocial relationships with the people in Palestine,” 19-year-old Marie Willy said, citing posts by a creator named Bisan Owda who shares videos from inside Gaza.

Taking the word of an anonymous internet poster as "news" is bat guano crazy and the fact that the girl doesn't realize that is troubling.

It should be noted that very few of the pro-Palestinian kids were ever going to vote for Trump. But not voting, or voting for a third candidate is almost as good.

Earlier in November, several leaders of national youth organizing groups wrote a letter to Biden telling him bluntly of the consequences of not changing course on the war.

“You and your Administration’s stance on Gaza risks millions of young voters staying home or voting third party next year,” the letter read, adding that it “will not be possible for those committed to turning out the youth vote this election to recruit the volunteers, organizers, staff, and donors needed to deliver the margins for Democratic victory down the ballot.”

What will all these threats to stay home or vote for someone else lead to?

Members of College Democrats at the University of Michigan, some of the president’s top defenders on campus, said they believe at the end of the day that their peers will turn out for Biden, especially when confronted with Trump as the alternative — even as some acknowledged that the president could improve his messaging around the war.

“I understand some folks’ frustration, especially of recent in light of the Israel-Palestine conflict … it’s a deeply emotional thing, deeply personal,” said Jade Gray, the co-president of the group. “And I do think that the steps that he’s taken are along the path to a cease-fire, and I know that that’s what folks are looking for next.”

Most of these college Democrats will hold their noses and vote for Biden  that is, "most" of them. In a close election, as this one is bound to be, even a 5% drop-off in support from 2020 to 2024 could cost Biden several states.

Biden will probably not call for a cease-fire. But the pressure he's under is growing and anything is possible in an election year.

Biden regime threatens Israel: may not support further defensive actions in Gaza

Notice that the Biden regime doesn’t say anything to Hamas about its use of civilians as human shields and its intentional actions to put civilians in harm’s way so that it can use civilian casualties for propaganda purposes. The criminal regime in Washington is doing all it can to keep Hamas alive.

“Biden Admin warns it might not support next phase of Israel’s war,” JNS, November 22, 2023 (thanks to the Geller Report):

Israel must have a plan to protect the civilians in southern Gaza before proceeding with the war, says U.S.National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby.

The White House says it won’t support Israel’s plan to expand its operations into the south of the Gaza Strip unless it shows it will protect the Palestinian civilians there.

In a Tuesday press call, US National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said the United States won’t support Israel “moving forward with operations in the south absent a clearly articulated plan for how they’re going to protect the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people” there.

“There’s an obligation for them to factor that into their planning,” Kirby said.

The NSC spokesman noted that the population in the south of the terror-run enclave has swelled as Israel ordered the northern population to flee southwards. It’s “even more incumbent” on Israel to “protect those civilians who moved at their urging,” said Kirby….

‘Leftist queer gremlin’ and other young women convert to Islam as the ‘ultimate rebellion against the West’~SHARE THEIR RELIGIOUS AWAKENINGS ON CHINESE COMMUNIST TIK TOK

What did anyone expect would be the outcome of teaching young people to hate their own culture and heritage?

Anyway, a lot of these women are soon going to be experiencing terrible cases of buyer’s remorse.

“Millennials and Gen-Z women are sharing their conversion to Islam in wake of Israel-Hamas war, with ‘leftist queer gremlin’ from Boston among those TikToking her journey,” by Bethan Sexton, DailyMail.com, November 19, 2023:

Millennial and Gen-Z women say they’ve been inspired to convert to Islam by the Israel-Hamas war – and are sharing their religious awakenings on TikTok.

Recent converts say the conflict, which began with the murder of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, became a driving factor for their decision to join the Muslim faith.

Experts suggested for many, the choice is the ‘ultimate rebellion against the West’.

Among those sharing their journey is a self-described ‘leftist queer gremlin’ named Alex, who recently purchased a copy of the Quran – even though most interpretations of Islam take a dim view of LGBT relationships.

Alex, who has begun covering her hair with a hijab in line with Islamic teachings on modesty, says she began attending pro-Palestine marches after the October 7 terror attacks and the retaliatory strikes on Gaza….

When Is Enough Enough? Creepy Joe Biden Flirts with a Little Girl: ‘I Love Your Ears!’

AP Photo/Evan Vucci
When I was a kid in Detroit, the men in the neighborhood beat up pedophiles. Then the cops were called. Today, a long history of touching kids — much of it caught on video — gets you a term in the White House.

FACT-O-RAMA! Gropey Joe Biden's daughter Ashley left a diary in a rehab house that mentioned her taking "probably not appropriate" showers with her dad when she was a kid. She also mentions believing she was molested as well but can't recall the details.

Joe Biden, or perhaps his obvious dementia, went down the creepy lane yet again.

Biden took a moment from a Thanksgiving event at Norfolk Naval Station to "flirt" with a young girl.

"I love your ears," the groomer-in-chief opened. “I love them. They’re really cool. What's your name?"

PEDO-RAMA!  As a kid, we were told child groomers would offer us candy or ask us to help find a lost puppy. We were never warned a potential kiddie-diddler would compliment our ears.

Biden then continues his revolting game by asking the girl her name. I heard her say "Jasmine," but the clever devil knows how to work a child's table, so he changes her name to "Catherine."

"That's my mommy's name," Biden sleazily continued because the word "mommy" makes it that much creepier.

You may think it can't get worse, but Biden's cringe amplifier goes to 11.

“How old are you, 17?" Biden "jokes," though I'm certain he's used that bit on kids for years, much like his woefully lame "I've never seen a deer in Kevlar," which he drops whenever he wants to take away your AR-15.

It would be easy to brush off Biden's disturbing interest in this child if it wasn't for his decades-long history of creepitude involving kids, frequently feeling them up like avocados. 

Here is a video where Gropey Joe Biden kisses and/or gets handsy with well over 30 women and children at one gathering.

In this video, Biden pulls a kid in close and says, "He gave me permission to touch him." Democrats in the crowd, many of whom have no problem taking their kids to watch needy men in dresses shake their private parts, laughed at the "joke." Apparently, they forgot that Joe had to almost-but-not-quite apologize for touching women too much in April 2019, referring to his wandering hands as "gestures of support;"

I want to talk about gestures of support that I’ve made to women and some men that have made them uncomfortable,” Biden said, seated on a couch and speaking directly to the camera. “I’ve always tried to make a human connection. That’s my responsibility, I think. It’s the way I’ve always been. It’s the way I try to show I care about them and listening.

Biden was busted for kissing the back of a woman's head and rubbing noses with another.

The luckiest child in the nation used to be his granddaughter "Navy," whom Hunter sired with a stripper in Arkansas. Joe blessedly ignored her until the girl she was four years old. I guess he had to wait until Navy was a little older before Joe would agree to pay attention to her. Her mom should have left well enough alone.

Pope Francis’ Silence On Hamas

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/11/pope-francis-silence-on-hamas;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Pope Francis, terminally naïve about Islam, believes he has a true understanding of the faith-based partly on the reassurances given to him by his new friend, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb. “War is deceit,” says Muhammad in a famous hadith, and Al-Tayeb has been cheerfully deceiving the Pope every chance he gets. Pope Francis has learned a lot from Al-Tayeb. He insists in his new book, Non-Sei Solo: Sfide, Risposte, Speranze (You Are Not Alone: Challenges, Answers, Hopes), that “either you are a terrorist or you are a Muslim.” A “true” Muslim, he thinks, cannot be a terrorist. No one has pointed out to the Pope that Muhammad himself says in another hadith that “I have been made victorious through terror.” (Bukhari 4:52.220) And Muhammad is the Perfect Man and the Model of Conduct, whose behavior is to be emulated by Muslims.

Islam talks about peace, all right — the peace that will prevail once Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere. Until then war must be made on the Infidels, who when conquered must be either killed, or made to convert to Islam, or to accept the inferior status of dhimmis, enduring a host of social, political, and economic disabilities, including payment of the extortionate jizyah tax. In his infinite wisdom, the Pope has declared on many occasions, and in his latest book, too, that “Islam, in truth, is a religion of peace and the majority of its members are peaceful.” He’s wrong, of course. He need only look around the world at the Muslim terror groups that have been waging war against Infidels, and even against less fanatical Muslims, in recent years: the Islamic State, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Sipah-e-Sahaba, Boko Haram, Al-Shebaab, and so many more. Muslims have committed more than 44,000 terror attacks around the world since 9/11. The Qur’an is filled with verses about violence and waging war on Infidels. The Believers are instructed to “kill them [the Infidels] wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5). But one has a distinct impression that the Pope has never read the Qur’an. Why should he bother to do so, when such authoritative experts on Islam like Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb assure him that Islam is all about peace?

Given the Pope’s affection for Islam, it is not surprising that he has been circumspect in his remarks on the atrocities carried out by Hamas on October 7. More on his failure to forthrightly condemn those attacks, which is risking the Vatican’s relations with the Jewish world, can be found here: “The Vatican is risking its relationship with the Jewish world,” by Vittorio Mascarini, JNS, November 16, 2023:

Relations between Israel and the Vatican have become tense in recent weeks.

In the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem, an ecumenical group of Christian leaders that includes the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, issued a joint statement in which they made no explicit mention of the Hamas atrocities. They included only a vague condemnation of any act that targets civilians.

The Israeli embassy to the Holy See criticized the statement’s “immoral linguistic ambiguity,” which failed to be clear about “what happened, who were the aggressors and who the victims. … It is especially unbelievable that such a sterile document was signed by people of faith.”

This controversy is only the latest in the fraught history of Israel-Vatican relations, which were officially established in Dec. 1993. Besides the Catholic Church’s historical antisemitism, the Vatican was long reluctant to formally recognize Israel for several reasons: Israel did not have internationally recognized borders, the status of Jerusalem and access to its holy sites had not been internationally guaranteed, and Catholics and their institutions were, the Church claimed, not adequately protected under Israeli law.

In addition, the Vatican had concerns about the treatment of Palestinians in the disputed territories and feared that relations with Israel could have negative repercussions for Catholics in Islamic countries.

This may explain why, to date, Pope Francis has not labeled Hamas a terrorist organization and has not met with families of Israeli hostages. The latter has not gone unnoticed, especially because the families were received by many leading national figures, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

According to the Catholic news site Cruxnow, the pontiff’s behavior can be explained as “positioning the Vatican potentially to play a mediating and peace-making role.” In addition, “The bulk of the Christian population in the Holy Land is Arab and Palestinian, so Middle Eastern bishops and clergy tend to be strong supporters of the Palestinian cause.”

Given the deplorable treatment of Israel by the Vatican — of which the failure to condemn Hamas is just the latest example, it is doubtful that Jerusalem would accept the Vatican as a mediator between the Jewish state and those who would destroy it.

Moreover, Cruxnow sees a historic shift underway in terms of the Vatican’s interfaith priorities: “Since the Second Vatican Council in the mid-1960s, Judaism has been the Church’s primordial relationship, unquestionably the highest priority in inter-religious dialogue. Under history’s first pope from the developing world, that’s no longer necessarily the case, as other relationships, especially the dialogue with Islam, have become at least an equally compelling perceived priority.”

Given this, it is not surprising that, since war broke out, Pope Francis has spoken with numerous world leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, but there are no reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been among them.

Wouldn’t you think that after the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, the Pope would have wanted to speak with the leader of the Jewish state, if only to express his solidarity and understanding? But though the Pope has spoken with many world leaders about the ongoing war in Gaza, he has apparently snubbed the Israeli President. How does he hope to ever be a mediator if he will not talk to the Israeli prime minister?

The larger Catholic world has shown equal ambivalence towards the war. Among Eastern Catholic leaders, the Latin Catholic and Eastern churches in communion with Rome have issued what Israel deems a lukewarm and insufficient condemnation of Hamas. Their first communiqué, issued on Oct. 8, contained a generic statement “against any acts that target civilians, regardless of their nationality.” The next, on Oct. 13, decried the humanitarian situation in Gaza and called for de-escalation. It singled out only Israel in connection with humanitarian issues….

Instead of deploring the Hamas atrocities, the Eastern Catholic leaders uttered a generic condemnation “against any acts that target civilians.” They were afraid of the Muslim reaction if they singled out Hamas — as they should have — which would, however, make the lives of Catholics in the Arab countries more difficult. And just like Pope Francis, they did not mention the 240 hostages held by Hamas, or call for their release.

The Pope has to understand that the Jews of Israel now deserve his unambiguous support as they fight to destroy a murderous enemy that has pledged not only to destroy the single Jewish state and replace it with a twenty-third Arab one, but to kill Jews everywhere. No moral equivalency should be allowed. And he must also denounce, as he has not yet done so, the tidal wave of antisemitism, prompted in part by the war in Gaza, that threatens to engulf much of the world. He needs first to unambiguously denounce Hamas and all those who support the terror group. But will he? The signs from this Pope, who believes “Islam is all about peace,” are not good.

So far, Pope Francis has been weighed and found wanting.

Gavin Newsom gave millions in taxpayer money to pro-Hamas mosques that call for the annihilation of Jews

Of course. To do anything else would be “Islamophobic.”

“Gavin Newsom Gave Millions to Mosques that Cheer the Annihilation of Jews,” by Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon, November 16, 2023:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) has awarded millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to mosques whose leaders have preached anti-Semitic hate and called for violence against Israel.

Newsom’s administration awarded $200,000 this year to the Sajjadia Islamic Society as part of its Nonprofit Security Grant program, which aims to help nonprofits protect against terrorist attacks. In a sermon at the mosque this month, the pro-Iran cleric Hamza Sodagar touted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and said that Allah sent “the rockets from Hamas or Hezbollah” to strike Israel. Newsom has also awarded grants to mosques like the Islamic Center of Hawthorne and Islamic Center of Riverside, whose imams have decried the “malevolence of the Jews” and prayed for Allah to “destroy them.”

All told, the Newsom administration has given $40 million to California mosques whose leaders cheer the annihilation of Jews and Israel. Such rhetoric could fuel precisely the kind of violence the grants are meant to prevent. Newsom, considered a future Democratic presidential contender, said last month he will double funding in his state for its nonprofit security program, citing the “unconscionable terrorist attacks in Israel.” Funds will be awarded to both synagogues and mosques, Newsom’s office said.

A spokesman for California’s Office of Emergency Services, which administers the grants, said after a Washington Free Beacon inquiry that it is investigating whether any of the mosques have breached their grant requirements by facilitating hate speech.

“If it is determined they have, their funding will be immediately revoked,” said Brian Ferguson. “As a matter of principle, the State of California rejects hate speech and discrimination in all of its forms. Such speech is a menace to democratic values, social stability and peace.”

Newsom gave $200,000 last year to the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco, where preacher Hussam Ayloush asserted in a Nov. 3 sermon that it is a “lie” that Hamas’s invasion of Israel last month was an “unprovoked attack.”

“If I hear that term again, I’ll go crazy,” he said. “Unprovoked in what dictionary?”

At the Islamic Center of San Gabriel Valley, which received $200,000 this year, preacher Amir Mertaban expressed support for Iraqis who fought American forces and Palestinians currently fighting Israel.

“The Palestinian brothers and sisters that are fighting resistance, shame on you if you label them terrorists,” Mertaban said. He also disputed that Hamas fighters murdered innocent Israelis during the Oct. 7 invasion. “If you’re going to make a claim that Muslims killed innocent civilians, you better be able to prove it.”

Other grant recipients have served as breeding grounds for Islamist terrorists. Newsom’s office awarded $200,000 to the Islamic Center of San Diego, which served as the home mosque for two 9/11 hijackers. Its imam, Taha Hassane, said last month that “resistance [against Israel] is justified.”

“We cannot accuse somebody who is fighting for his life to be a terrorist. The terrorist is the one who started the occupation, not the one who is defending himself,” he said in an Oct. 20 sermon….

Jewish students sue NYU for allowing students to chant ‘gas the Jews’ and ‘Hitler was right’

NYU officials deny this, but given today’s academic environment, there is absolutely nothing unbelievable about this claim.

“Jewish students sue NYU claiming university allows students to chant ‘gas the Jews,'” by Richard Percival, The JC, November 15, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

New York University (NYU) has been sued by three Jewish students for allegedly failing to protect them against “festering Jewish hatred permeating the school.”

Bella Ingber, Sabrina Maslavi and Saul Tawil accused the university of “egregious civil rights violations” by allegedly allowing students to chant antisemitic phrases like “gas the Jews” and “Hitler was right.”

In a lawsuit filed at Manhattan district court, the students claimed antisemitism had been a “growing institutional problem” at NYU even before the war between Israel and Hamas began last month.

The lawsuit also alleges Jewish students’ complaints are “ignored, slow-walked, or met with gaslighting” by NYU administrators.

According to the lawsuit, university president Linda Mills this month dismissed a petition from 4,000 NYU members expressing concern about antisemitism.

The three students in the lawsuit urge NYU to terminate employees suspend or expel students responsible for antisemitic abuse and pay compensatory and punitive damages.

In one instance, Ingber and Maslavi said that while attending a silent vigil on 17 October supporting Israel, they saw nearby faculty and student members of on-campus pro-Palestinian groups burn an Israeli flag, make “slit-your-throat” gestures toward Jewish students, and scream epithets….

The Biden Admin Offered China a Tour of a Critical Nuclear Test Site

AP Photo/Evan Vucci
I guess the Chinese spy balloon incident didn’t give the Chinese Communist Party a good enough peek at U.S. military installations, because the Biden administration decided to offer China and Russia a VIP tour of the National Nuclear Security Administration site in Nevada—a site critical to U.S. national security.

And now, GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is leading a coalition of 18 House Republicans demanding answers as to why Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm offered foreign adversaries access to a sensitive U.S. nuclear testing site. 

“The Biden Administration’s willingness to allow our strategic rivals this unprecedented access to our sensitive nuclear testing will only embolden their efforts to increase their offensive capabilities,” reads a letter the 18 Republicans sent to Granholm dated November 9. "Once again, the Biden Administration is rewarding our adversaries with access to our sensitive nuclear technology while not demanding anything in return. Giving our adversaries unfettered access to our nuclear testing will only work to undermine our interests and worsen the international destabilization we are facing because of the Biden Administration’s weakness on the world stage.”

The PRC is working tirelessly to expand its nuclear capabilities. Earlier this year, General Anthony Cotton, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command testified before the House Armed Services Committee on Strategic Forces that the PRC is already growing its capabilities at an alarming rate and is projected to have over 1,000 nuclear warheads by 2030. The Defense Department's 2023 China Military Power Report released on October 19 warned that China’s nuclear expansion is exceeding previous U.S. projections. The PRC has no reason to halt its expansion if they are given this access while offering nothing in return. Beijing has refused to engage in discussions on its nuclear expansion and has already refused to respond to the U.S. offer. No confirmed reciprocation of transparency in their nuclear programs will only embolden their efforts to continue growing their arsenal.

According to Fox News Digital, "The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) offered to invite its Chinese and Russian counterparts to tour the Nevada site — where sensitive nuclear experimentation is conducted — during the latest International Atomic Energy Agency summit, according to Bloomberg. Corey Hinderstein, a senior NNSA official, said China and Russia didn't immediately respond to the offer."

But the real question is why was the offer made in the first place?

The Biden administration’s offer came months after President Vladimir Putin pulled Russia out of the sole remaining nuclear arms control pact with America. Earlier this month, Putin also signed a law withdrawing Russia from its ratification of a global treaty that prohibits nuclear weapons tests, a move swiftly condemned by the State Department. Earlier this year, a Chinese spy balloon was discovered surveilling U.S. military sites without intervention from the Biden administration.

Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), one of the co-signers of Stefanik's letter to Granholm, told Fox News Digital that giving Russia and China access to U.S. nuclear facilities "allows them to derive our methods and procedures and this destroys deterrence."

"As Chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee, one of my priorities has been to strengthen and protect our nuclear arsenal,” he added. "In the world today, nothing could jeopardize our national security more than losing this advantage. I was stunned to hear recent reports of Biden administration officials inviting citizens from our two greatest adversaries to observe U.S. nuclear weapons tests."

As Iran Wages Proxy War on Israel, Biden Mulls Giving $10 Billion to the Mullahs

When you can't make it clearer where you stand on the Hamas-Israel war.

[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]

Old Joe Biden couldn’t make it clearer where he stands on the Hamas-Israel war if he screamed “Allahu akbar” and blew himself up in a crowd of Jews.

The alleged president demonstrated, for anyone who was paying attention, which side he is really on in the Hamas-Israel conflict when he went over to Israel in late October and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He took the opportunity to announce that he was giving $100 million to Gaza, which means, despite his denials, $100 million to Hamas, as there is no entity in Gaza that is not controlled by Hamas and could both receive this money and keep it out of the hands of the terror group. As if that weren’t bad enough, now Old Joe and his henchmen are considering sending $10 billion to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the chief funder of Hamas. Yes, it’s so far beyond outrageous that it is coming up on outrageous from the other side, but it’s true nevertheless.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that “the Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq.” Displaying an admirable talent for understatement, the Free Beacon noted that this is “driving concerns that the Biden administration is maintaining financial avenues for Tehran as the country’s terrorist proxies foment chaos across the Middle East.”

Now, why would the Biden regime even consider freeing up billions for Iran while the “Death to America, Death to Israel” regime is bankrolling not only Hamas, but Hizballah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in their jihad war against the Jewish state? There are three possibilities: the regime is either stupid, or evil, or both. In this case, the most likely answer is the third: the sinister, senescent, faux-folksy corruptocrat and his cronies are as clueless as they are immoral. Oh, and wrongheaded, and a hundred other things.

Biden and his team are stupid insofar as they apparently still believe that showering money upon the Islamic Republic will lead that rogue, terror-supporting regime to moderate its practices and possibly even grow friendly toward America and possibly even Israel. This is a ridiculous idea for the State Department wonks and foreign policy “experts” to have, but they have it nonetheless; in fact, American diplomacy has largely consisted of efforts to buy friends internationally for many decades now.

This seldom works with anyone, but it is particularly doomed to fail when tried in the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the rulers believe the Qur’an when it says: “And the Jews will not be pleased with you, neither will the Christians until you follow their religion.” (2:120) Efforts at winning hearts and minds are often seen through this prism, as cynical attempts to begin to lure pious Muslims away from Islam. But of course they have no idea of this in Foggy Bottom, where they’re all bound to believe the iron dogma that Islam is a religion of peace that not only has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism, but nothing whatsoever to do with contemporary geopolitics.

The evil part of this bargain comes from the fact that if the regime really does manage to send $10 billion to the mullahs, a large part of it, if not all of it, will go for the jihad against Israel. When Barack Obama sent pallets of unmarked bills to Tehran in the dark of night, much of it ended up going to jihad terror groups. What are the chances that at least some of Old Joe’s $10 billion would end up with Hamas, Hizballah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad? Oh, about one hundred percent.

In response to such concerns, the Biden regime is pretending yet again that the American people have no idea of the most basic principles of economics. It insists that if it does send this $10 billion, it will be earmarked only for humanitarian purposes. The basic lesson of economics here is that getting $10 billion from the United States will free up $10 billion that the Iranian regime would have spent on food for its people, but which can now go to kill Israelis.

The new speaker of the House, in a classic example of failing to notice about fifty elephants in the room, just said that there wasn’t enough evidence to impeach Joe Biden. Well, the fact that the regime is even thinking about sending money to an avowed enemy ought to get Old Joe not only impeached but tried for treason. But for that, we’d need some genuine opposition that had some guts.

Pope Francis and Al-Azhar Grand Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb signed an agreement a few years back about how violence in the name of religion is a perversion of religion. Is the pope naive, or evil?

“Virulent Incitement By Al-Azhar: Praise For Palestinian Jihad Fighters; Israel Is Destined To Perish; U.S. Is The Greatest Satan; Jews Are Descendants Of Apes And Pigs,” MEMRI, November 10, 2023:

In recent weeks, the Cairo-based Al-Azhar institution, the leading center of religious learning and supreme source of religious authority in the Sunni Muslim world, and senior members of this institution have been voicing support for Hamas and for terrorism and inciting against the U.S. and Israel, while using virulently antisemitic rhetoric….

Al-Azhar Fatwa:  The Occupying Entity Will Perish And The Lives Of The Martyrs Will Be Longer Than Those Of Their Murderers

On October 18, 2023,  Al-Azhar’s “Global Center for Online Fatwas” posted a fatwa on its Facebook page which predicted Israel’s demise….

“…In its steadfastness, resistance, and persistent adherence to its land, the Palestinian people continue to present a model of heroism, despite the danger of the arbitrary Zionist bombardment. It [also] places the world – which remains silent, neglects, or [even] encourages these crimes – in a great human and moral predicament, removing the fake mask of humaneness from its ugly face.

“The term ‘civilian’ does not apply to the Zionist settlers of the occupied land. Rather, they are occupiers of the land who usurp rights, disregard the ways of the prophets, and attack the holy sites in historic Jerusalem and the [sites of] Islamic and Christian heritage there…

“The world deliberately ignores the fact that the occupying Zionist entity is a cancer in the heart of the Islamic and Arab nation. According to international conventions and laws, occupying forces have no right to the land, the resources and the holy sites [they are occupying], and their aggression must necessarily be met with resistance against their usurpation, oppression and tyranny….

Faculty Dean At Al-Al-Azhar University: May Allah Bring Perdition Upon The “Cursed,” “Treacherous” Jews, “The Descendants Of Apes And Pigs”

Addressing Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel in a series of posts on his personal Facebook account, Muhammad Omar Al-Qady, dean of the Faculty for Islamic and Arabic Studies at Al-Azhar University, made virulently antisemitic remarks, glorified the jihad in Palestine and wished perdition upon the Jews….

“It brought the Palestinian issue back to the center of global attention, after it had almost disappeared and been forgotten… It managed to shatter the false myth about the might of the Israeli army and prove that it is weak and exhausted… It proved that the entire West – with the exception of the peoples – is a single community, especially the governments of the greatest Satan, America, and of the European countries, who follow the orders of the Zionist lobby that is part of [the camp of] our treacherous enemy… It managed to eliminate, if only for a while, the vast enterprise of [Israel’s] normalization with many Arab and Islamic countries, which was making large and rapid strides… [The resistance] also made additional achievements, which will be discussed in the future. I ask Allah to strengthen His soldiers and his camp and grant our brothers in Gaza, Palestine and in the rest of the Muslim countries victory over their enemy and ours, the enemy of Allah and humanity, the cursed descendants of apes and pigs [i.e., the Jews].”[5]

In another post Al-Qady wrote: “Allah, bring perdition upon the cursed and treacherous [Jews], the murderers of prophets, of rulers and of decent people, and on whoever helped them and agreed to their deeds…”[6]

Abbas Shuman, Inspector General Of Al-Azhar’s Fatwa Committees: “Rejoice In The Demise Of The Descendants Of Pigs”; The Zionists Are Worse Than Rabid Dogs

Abbas Shuman, formerly the deputy of Sheikh Al-Azhar and currently the inspector general of Al-Azhar’s Fatwa committees, likewise slammed Israel and expressed support for Hamas’ terror attack, gloating over the suffering caused to Israel. For example, on October 7, the day of the attack, he shared a post in which he praised it, writing, “Allahu Akbar, long live the noble Palestinian people. Allah will inflict defeat on the oppressive occupation and shame and disgrace on the Zionists and their supporters.”[8]

Additional posts over the following days were equally vitriolic and even antisemitic. For instance, on October 17, 2023, Shuman wrote, “I knew that the Zionists had no morals, but I didn’t imagine that they were filthier and more despicable than rabid dogs…”[9]

On October 18 he posted, “…The situation has reached the point of bombing hospitals, after the murder of children and even of fetuses, and [has reached the point where] the great satans [i.e. the world leaders] have come to Palestine to publicly support the Zionists. Rejoice in the demise of the descendants of the pigs.”[10]

Lecturer At Al-Azhar University: The Jews Of The World Can Be Resettled In Southeast Russia; Aiding Palestine Is A Religious Duty Of Every Muslim

In an October 19, 2023 article in the Egyptian daily Al-Usbu’, Dr. Ahmad Karima, a lecturer on Islamic law and comparative jurisprudence at Al-Azhar University,  stated that “aiding Palestine is a religious duty of all Muslims, a national duty of the Arabs, both Muslim and non-Muslim, and a moral obligation,” which must be carried out by the Muslim armies, according to their ability and the assessments of the rulers, by the wealthy Muslims, according to their financial ability, and by the clerics and experts, according to their rhetorical ability. Later he described his own efforts in supporting the Palestinian cause, including by publishing books and studies on Palestine and Jerusalem, as well as books on jihad….

Tulsi Gabbard calls out Biden and Harris for their absence at the largest-ever pro-Israel rally in DC

Speaker Johnson's Remarks at 'March for Israel' Rally in Washington DC

The largest pro-Israel rally in American history was attended by an estimated 300,000 people, but Tulsi Gabbard pointed out that “there was a very loud absence”: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did not attend. Despite the fact that people attended from all over the country, these two who were “literally just down the street,” said Gabbard, failed to show up, despite their professed support for Israel, and heedless of the fact that antisemitism, including violent attacks on Jews, has soared since October 7.

Also, Hamas isn’t a deadly threat to Israel; Hamas and its jihadi allies are a global threat. Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot with affiliates in operation throughout America and the West; they fuel pro-Palestinian rallies, which are gaining traction globally.

“Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard calls out Biden and Harris for not attending March for Israel rally in DC,” by Eden Villalovas, Washington Examiner, November 14, 2023:

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard called out President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not joining supporters of Israel who gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to rally against antisemitism.

“There’s a very loud absence, though, in knowing that President Biden and Vice President Harris are literally just down the street as people are traveling here from all over the country,” Gabbard said on Fox News before attending the rally herself.

Biden and Harris will arrive in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and are scheduled to participate in a campaign reception in the evening.

“Yet they don’t feel it’s important enough to come and stand with our Americans to send this strong resounding message at a time when antisemitic attacks around the world are at their height, that we will not allow it to continue that we stand with Israel and the Jewish people,” Gabbard added.

Gabbard, a former 2020 presidential candidate, and a U.S. Army Reserve officer, said Hamas’s goal is “not really about the territory between Israel and Gaza or Palestine” but to establish a “global Islamist caliphate and destroy anyone who doesn’t adhere to their radical interpretation of Islam including Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and others.”…

Biden regime doles out taxpayer money to mosques that pray for the annihilation of the Jews

No surprise here. In the past, there might have been some perfunctory attempt to ensure that the recipients of this cash were “moderate,” but now any such inquiry would be “Islamophobic.”

“These Mosques Pray for the Annihilation of Jews. They Also Receive Money From the Biden Administration.,” by Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon, November 13, 2023:

A federal program to help nonprofit groups protect against terrorist attacks has given millions of dollars to mosques and Islamic groups that have praised terrorists and called for the destruction of Israel, according to a Washington Free Beacon review.

The Department of Homeland Security awarded the California-based Masjid al-Ansar mosque $100,000 on March 9 under the Nonprofit Security Grants Program. Moustafa Kamel, the imam at Masjid al-Ansar, earlier this year called Jews a “bigoted and arrogant breed of people” and prayed they “will be annihilated” in a war over the Holy Land, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Then there is the Islamic Center of Detroit, which received $150,000 on Oct. 12, 2022. Its head imam, Imran Salha, said at a pro-Palestinian rally days after Hamas’s invasion of Israel that Muslims have a “fire in our hearts that will burn that state until its demise.” During a sermon in March, he referred to the “sick, disgusting Zionist regime” and prayed: “May Allah eradicate them from existence.”

The rhetoric could fuel the sorts of hate and terrorist attacks that the Homeland Security grants aim to prevent. Anti-Semitic hate crimes have surged 400 percent since Hamas’s attack, in which 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered. A bipartisan group of senators called for additional funding under the program last month to protect against “a potential rise in anti-Semitic threats.”

There is little oversight over which organizations receive funding under the program, which is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state agencies. A majority of the grants have gone to synagogues, churches, mosques, and temples that do not support violence or promote terrorist organizations.

But there are also grants to outfits like the Islamic Center of San Diego, a mosque best known as the home to two 9/11 hijackers. Days after the Hamas attack, Imam Taha Hassane defended the attack on Israel as an act of self-defense.

“When people are occupied, then the resistance is justified,” he said in an Oct. 20 sermon. “We cannot accuse somebody who is fighting for his life to be a terrorist. The terrorist is the one who started the occupation, not the one who is defending himself.”

The mosque received $150,000 under the grant program on Aug. 15, according to federal spending records.

At the Flint Islamic Center, which received $300,000 in grants on Oct. 12, 2022, an Islamic scholar asserted in a sermon last month that Jews “literally live for the purpose of genocide” of Palestinians.

“These people … their businesses have foundations just to serve their objectives. They literally live for a purpose of genocide in an occupation like this,” said Shaykh Adbullah Waheed.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an advocacy group identified as a co-conspirator of Hamas, has mounted a public awareness campaign to urge mosques and Islamic nonprofits to apply for Homeland Security grants. CAIR noted that fewer than 50 Islamic organizations had received funding under the program, largely due to “concerns about the potential strings attached” to accepting the federal funds….

Netanyahu Issues Dire Warning About Hamas. Will Biden Listen?

AP Photo/Evan Vucci
During an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a stark message on Monday evening, cautioning Europeans and Americans about the potential consequences if the IDF doesn’t completely eliminate Hamas.

"We have to win not only for our sake but for the sake of the Middle East, for the sake of our Arab neighbors," Netanyahu said. "You know what, for the sake of Gazans who've been held by this dark tyranny that has brutalized and brought them nothing but bloodshed and poverty and misery. We have to win to protect Israel. We have to win to safeguard the Middle East. We have to win for the sake of the civilized world. That's the battle we're fighting, and it's being waged right now. There is no substitute for that victory."

“If we don’t win now, then Europe is next and you’re next,” Netanyahu warned. "And we have to win.”  

For our VIPs: Joe Biden Is No Friend to Israel

“We have to have the forces of civilization beat these barbarians because otherwise this barbarism will spread and will endanger the entire world,” Netanyahu said. “Every American, every civilized country will be under peril. We have to win. There is no substitute for victory. Total victory.”

According to Netanyahu, the "axis of terror," which consists of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, and other "minions” of Iran, aims to "bring the Middle East, the world back to the Dark Ages. And on the other side stands Israel, the modern Arab states, of course, the United States, all the forces that want to see peace, and prosperity for the Middle East and for the world. And that's the battle that is being waged right now."

Just this week, we learned that the Biden administration is considering giving $10 billion to Iran by waiving sanctions.

It truly makes no sense why Biden would consider such a thing, especially now. But one thing is clear; he’s not listening to Netanyahu’s warning. 

Frankly, I’m not sure Biden cares.

400 Government Officals Sign a Letter Objecting to Biden’s Israel Stance

Jonathan Ernst/Pool via AP
Many years ago, after a hard day of radio journalism and program directing, I stopped at my favorite brewpub for an IPA and some chicken wings. I noticed a few friends who worked for a government agency and struck up a conversation. I mentioned having seen a story on TV at the gym about the federal government offering free health care to illegal immigrants. I opined that there were plenty of Americans who should receive that consideration before it was extended to people who entered the country unlawfully. One of the women looked at me, blinked, and said, "Well f**k you!" 

Alright, then. Good talk. It wasn't the response I expected but considering the fact that people in the federal ecosystem function in an echo chamber, I guess I should not have been surprised. Mike Lee once told me that the people inside the Beltway are essentially unaware of America or the world outside the Beltway. And with the advent of curated media, it should not be an eye-opener that the same mentality extends to many federal employees. That may go some ways to explaining the letter sent Tuesday to President Joe Biden that was signed by over 400 government officials.

The New York Times obtained a copy of the letter, signed by appointees and staffers across 40 agencies. It began by denouncing the Hamas attack on Israel but also stated:

We call on President Biden to urgently demand a cease-fire; and to call for de-escalation of the current conflict by securing the immediate release of the Israeli hostages and arbitrarily detained Palestinians; the restoration of water, fuel, electricity, and other basic services; and the passage of adequate humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The signers cited an October poll by the group Data for Progress, which claims that 66% of Americans agree that "The U.S. should call for a ceasefire and a de-escalation of violence in Gaza. The U.S. should leverage its close diplomatic relationship with Israel to prevent further violence and civilian deaths." That percentage includes 80% of the Democrats who were surveyed, 57% of Independents, and 56% of Republicans. The complete set of questions and responses can be found here

Some signatories mentioned they felt that signing the letter could put their jobs at risk. The Times article noted that some officials have said they welcome disagreement but added that employees need to come to terms with the fact that they will not always see eye-to-eye with some policies.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that the majority of those who signed the letter are in their 20s and 30s. This means not only are they living in the federal and left-wing echo chambers, but they are closer in age to college students. So, their "academic" experiences are still relatively fresh in their minds. In addition to whatever matriculation indoctrination they may have received, they tend to take that information and use it to view the world as they wish it to be, not as it truly is. Hence, the misguided notion that if Israel were to stop the offensive, doves of peace would descend from the sky, and we could buy the world a Coke and keep it company. (Kids, ask your grandparents about that.) And they are frustrated that their version of events is not the one that is unfolding. 

One can ignore reality all one wants, but it has no plans to go away. And while letters and protests may have served these people well in college, real life and real war are very different than campus demonstrations.
