Victor Davis Hanson: Gov. Janet Mills Doesn’t Know It Yet, But She’s an ‘Insurrectionist’

Is Gov. Janet Mills of Maine an ‘Neo-Confederate’? Yes, and “she is taking states’ rights to the extreme,” argues Victor Davis Hanson in today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” After refusing to comply with a Trump administration order banning men from competing in women’s high school sports, the Department of Justice launched a civil lawsuit against the Maine Department of Education for failing to protect women in women’s sports, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday. “Janet Mills may not know it, but she's an insurrectionist. She's a neo-Confederate. She is taking states' rights to the extreme. Rather than saying, ‘I oppose the federal government. I will go to court to stop you. If I lose, I will comply because the states are subordinate to the federal’ —she's not doing that. She's right in the spirit of the old Confederacy… “I can cite you chapter and verse from the poems of Catullus to the novels of ‘Satyricon,’ of Petronius, ‘The Satyricon,’ of men who dress up like women. Both as transvestites who are still, I guess you'd say, heterosexual, but they have a fetish to wear women's clothes or those who really want to be women. In the case of a poem or two, they castrate themselves. It's found in ancient history. “And statistically, if you go back before this controversy happened, it was a very small number of the population. About less than 1% identified as transgendered or transsexual. Then it became, in the last decade, the next civil rights frontier. And all of a sudden, we have universities where students are being polled at 10% or 20% or 30%, thinking they might want to transition. It almost became a cult following.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Europe, You Can’t Sit on the Sidelines Anymore

Which side will Europe take in a China-U.S. trade war? Of all the scenarios facing Europe right now vis-à-vis their relationship United States and China, their best option would be to side with the U.S., argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The third scenario is what I would suggest for the Europeans. They should say the following: “‘Despite our disagreements with the Trump administration, the United States is an ally. We know that we have been as victimized by Chinese mercantilism, high tariffs, cheating on patents, copyrights, dumping, and financial currency manipulation—all the things the United States complains about, we do too. In fact, we as Europeans as a whole have about the same deficit with China as the United States does. So, we are kindred spirits. So what we will do is, even though we have disagreements on our surplus with the United States and their efforts to reduce it, we will ally with the United States.’ “And that would represent about two-thirds of China's total trade action or monetary value.

Guess Who Funded the Pro-Palestinian ‘Insurrectionists’ on Capitol Hill

Guess Who Funded the Pro-Palestinian ‘Insurrectionists’ on Capitol Hill

Last week a group of pro-Palestinian protestors stormed the Cannon House Office Building and staged a protest inside the Rotunda. Protests are not allowed in congressional buildings, so they had no right to be there. Roughly 300 of these protesters were arrested for illegally demonstrating, and a few more were charged with assaulting police officers.

The protest, which promptly met the qualifications of an insurrection (according to Democrats), was organized by the supposed “Jewish” organizations Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and IfNotNow. How Jewish are these groups in reality? I dare say very little.

IfNotNow claims to be an organization of Jews but doesn’t appear to have any good relations with longstanding Jewish advocacy groups. Similarly, JVP is likely no more Jewish than Joe Biden. JVP doesn’t even claim to be an organization exclusively for Jewish anti-Zionists but merely “an organization that is inspired by Jewish values and traditions to work towards peace and justice.”

How did such fringe groups acquire the resources to stage a massive protest at the Capitol? Just follow the money, which leads us to George Soros.

“Through Soros’s philanthropic work, JVP was awarded several grants totaling $650,000 that bankrolled its ‘human rights’ campaign and ‘social welfare activities’ in the Middle East, according to a grant database maintained by the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations, the central hub of the financier’s anti-capitalist, redistributionist network,” writes Mia Cathell over at our sister site Townhall. “The Soros-branded Open Society Policy Center Inc. — once the second-largest spender on federal lobbying after the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — donated $150,000 and $200,000 in 2021 and 2019, respectively, to the Jewish Voice for Peace Action Incorporated, JVP’s tax-exempt 501(c)(3). And, in 2017, Soros’s primary grant-giving vehicle, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, gifted JVP $300,000.”

For our VIPs: In the Soros Justice System, No Conservative Is Safe

IfNotNow has also been the beneficiary of Soros’s money. “Soros’s grant-making Foundation to Promote Open Society handed $200,000 in 2019 and another $200,000 in 2021 to the 501(c)(3) IfNotNow Education Fund for growing membership, visibility, and impact around ‘general support’ to end Israeli ‘occupation in the Middle East’ (meaning the eradication of Israel), Open Society Foundations grant records show.”

Should we really be all that surprised that Soros’s hand is in all this? Soros-funded prosecutors have been weaponizing the justice system against Trump and conservatives; with all of his resources, it’s a no-brainer to imagine that he’s funding various organizations that are causing civil unrest. For decades, Soros has made his intentions about using his wealth and resources to advance leftist causes clear. His handpicked prosecutors are trying to put Trump behind bars as we speak. Before long, none of us will be safe from the clutches of the web of corruption funded by Soros.

The real question is, what are we going to do about it? The first step in defeating your enemies is knowing where they are. That’s why we at PJ Media will continue to do our part to report the truth and expose those who have been corrupted by George Soros and his empire. We are not afraid to call them out, but we need your help if we’re ultimately going to succeed.

Big Tech, which doesn’t want the truth exposed, routinely hampers our efforts. Outlets censor our reporting and demonetize us for daring to speak the truth.

The Pro-Hamas Insurrectionists Who Attacked the Capitol Must Be Brought to Justice

Hundreds of these domestic terrorist supporters were arrested. They should now face the same treatment as the J6ers.

On October 18, hundreds of pro-Hamas insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. While the insurrectionists claimed to be Jews opposed to Israel’s campaign to stop Hamas' terror and rescue the hostages, in reality, they were leftist extremists and in some cases Islamists. Many were affiliated with pro-terrorist organizations.

One example is Huwaida Arraf.

Canary Mission had previously profiled Arraf, a BDS supporter who ran for Congress from Michigan, and co-founder of the pro-terrorist International Solidarity Movement.

On February 12, 2006, the Washington Post reported that at an October 2004 anti-Israel conference, Arraf “distributed recruitment brochures and encouraged students to enlist in the ISM, which, she acknowledged, cooperates with Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.”

On August 8, 2014, Arraf tweeted: “Time & again Hamas has shown a willingness to concede & has maintained ceasefires. Re Hamas’ agenda, read http://lrb.co.uk/v36/n16/nathan-thrall/hamass-chances… #Gaza #Israel.”

On March 30, 2018, Arraf tweeted: “At least 7 killed, 500 injured & rising. Israel ordered soldiers to open fire on unarmed civilians & is trying to blame Hamas. All organizing & messaging around #GreatReturnMarch has stressed a nonviolent nature. Hamas issued msg of coexistence. Israel chooses to ignore & kill.”

After the Hamas murders, rapes, and kidnappings of Israelis, she tweeted that, “those condemning resistance expect Palestinians to die quietly.”

The Capitol Police failed to do their job. Nevertheless, hundreds of these domestic terrorist supporters were arrested. They should now face the same treatment as those who were arrested on J6.

Every single one of them should face extended prison sentences. Those who were not arrested should be tracked down through crowdsourced photos and videos.

And presidential candidates have the opportunity to promise that if they win, they will make sure that the DOJ and the FBI get it done.

America cannot exist with two sets of laws and two sets of rules.

There must be real consequences for the pro-Hamas insurrectionists.
