American politics has never seen anything like it. An apron-clad Donald Trump works a McDonald’s window, handing out burgers exactly as Kamala Harris claimed but almost certainly never did. Better still, he has a blast doing it. And best of all, the people he greeted at the drive-up window were thrilled to see him.

Joe Biden calls half of America “garbage” for daring to disagree with Democrats’ rush to socialism. What will Trump do? He arrives at a Green Bay rally in a gleaming white garbage truck sporting “Trump for President” colors and, from the passenger seat, leans out, clad in an orange and yellow safety vest, and holds an impromptu press conference, saying: “How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala [Harris] and Joe Biden.”

Said The Washington Times:

“He also said he was hesitant to wear the vest until his handlers assured him the vest “actually makes you look thinner.”

“’And they got me. I said I want to wear it on stage,’ Mr. Trump said, sparking laughter from the crowd. ‘I may never wear a blue jacket again.’”

The New & Improved Trump

This is but the most recent example of the indomitable Donald Trump – a man who the left has twice unsuccessfully impeached, smeared with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, and defrauded at the ballot box; who had his home invaded by Biden’s Gestapo and was indicted (and convicted) by leftist courts on more “Trumped up” felonies than I can count. When all of that failed, they tried to assassinate him. Twice.

Most people would long ago have balled up, sobbing, into the fetal position, especially after being shot.

But not Trump.

One’s strength of character – or lack of it – is most starkly displayed, with all facades stripped away, when faced with imminent death. What did Trump do? He thrust his bloody head above the phalanx of Secret Service agents shielding him from a potential second assassin’s bullet and defiantly pumped his fist in the air, yelling;

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

The photo of him would be iconic … if the media weren’t so intent on burying it.

You may not like Donald Trump, but no serious person can dispute his guts. And no serious person can deny that he has become a much better politician. He has learned and adapted. He is revealing not the venal side he previously displayed but instead humor, appreciation, and, dare I say, just a touch of humility.

After watching the assassination attempt, I wondered if Trump’s near-death experience might make him a more compassionate, more introspective person. I believe it has.

What has not changed is his chutzpah. Ignoring Secret Service advice to hold only indoor rallies, the new and improved Donald Trump returned to Butler, PA, and, after greeting the massive crowd, gave the opener that everyone asked for: “…as I was saying…”

Despite a couple of assassination attempts, in Dearborn, he waded through a crowd of Muslim voters, shaking hands and patting backs as the Secret Service looked both horrified and helpless.

When Trump vividly mocks his opponents, he demonstrates a clear understanding of Saul Alinsky’s fifth rule, used so effectively by the left: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. It also infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”

The New & Improved Republican Party

To the dismay of some, Trump has recreated the Republican Party in his image. No longer the refuge of “Country Club Republicans” who hold luncheons to console each other about the ills of American society, Trump’s populism has made it the party of the common man: auto workers, coal miners, cops, border patrol, southerners – people he has led to finally understand that the Democrat Party deserted them at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and has been hell-bent on socialism ever since.

While the Republican Party used to lament their inability to win the Hispanic vote, Trump has made inroads into the demographic, all while fighting illegal immigration and promising to deport the thousands of criminal “migrants” (the new politically correct phrase) that Joe and Kamala have carefully shepherded across the border.

Meanwhile, the guy Democrats claim is “racist” attracted lots of blacks and Jews to his massive Madison Square Garden rally, all while garnering more of the black vote than Republicans have in decades. (Since LBJ’s “Great Society,” perhaps?) Judging by the Republican National Convention and Trump’s enthusiastic rallies, the Republican Party has not been this vibrant since Ronald Reagan.

Is Victory Imminent?

As Harris’ presidential run founders on the rocks of her complete inability to express an intelligent thought, Democrats have reverted to the tactics of Soviet Russia: in perfect projection, they accuse Trump of everything of which they themselves are guilty.

  • “Threat to Democracy?” Check.
  • “Fascism” (or “Nazism”)? Check. (Not exactly, but certainly closer than Trump.)
  • Dangerously violent rhetoric? Check. (I believe the goal is to get Trump assassinated.)
  • Increasing global instability? Check.

The funniest thing was seeing Harris tell the world that Trump will take people’s guns. (Says the woman who is on record promoting mass gun confiscation.)

I normally don’t predict close elections. But barring massive fraud or major disaster (neither of which is beyond the realm of imagination), at this point, I believe Donald J. Trump will be the 47th President of the United States.

Trump, of course, summed it up best at the Green Bay rally when he said, “My message to Joe and Kamala is very simple. You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.”

Make it happen, get out, and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

Christians MUST stand up and vote in the 2024 election

Should Christians vote in the 2024 election? Some argue that they can't support either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Others say Christians should stay out of worldly politics. But Pastor Josh McPherson of Grace City Church joins Glenn to explain why he has "a fundamental conviction that we cannot be Biblical unless we ARE political." It's time for followers of Christ - both in the pews and in the pulpit - to stand up, speak out, and VOTE: "When the Church goes silent, a culture loses its conscience and government loses its mind, and everyone suffers."

A judge has ruled that a 100-foot “Vote for Trump” sign will be allowed to be lit up in upstate New York. 

On Monday, Montgomery County Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Slezak lifted a temporary restraining order following a city lawsuit against the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Constantino. 

The city had claimed that Constanino’s “Vote for Trump” sign sitting on top of his firm’s building violated local zoning laws and posed a traffic hazard.

The city, which is represented by attorneys working for Mayor Michael Cinquanti (D-N.Y.), argued that the company did not obtain the required permits to put in the sign up. They also said that drivers could be distracted by the sign. 

Constantino’s legal team responded to the allegations stating that the sign was far enough from major roads to avoid such risks.

“All I know is tonight the party is on and the lighting will occur and there is no court order prohibiting the lighting and display of the sign,” Sal Ferlazzo, Constantino’s lawyer, said. “So it’s obviously a nice victory for Anthony and his team.”

After Slezak heard arguments in court, she lifted the restraining order and cleared the way for the sign’s lighting. 

“We are all set to light it up!” Constantino told The New York Post.

Constantino added that Democrats “want to get rid of free speech and censor America and so the sign now signifies something even bigger than what I thought … In America, I got a First Amendment right.”

“It’s my building,” he continued, “it’s a beautiful sign and whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, the sign is an uplifting thing for community enthusiasm.”

The city has until October 18th to refile the case. 

Constantino intends to celebrate the court victory and the sign’s debut by holding a rally with special speakers, including local politicians and athletes.

Kamala’s Open Doors for Violent Inadmissible Illegals Where does Harris stand, exactly, on immediate deportation and proof of citizenship to vote?

Despite the discovery of widespread fraud, the Biden-Harris administration decided to resume its mass migrant parole sponsorship program under which hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have already been allowed into the United States. As the Center for Immigration Studies explained, “To hide the massive increase in illegal Venezuelan entrants, the administration implemented a parole program for nationals of that country in October 2022, which it expanded in January 2023 to Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan nationals as well — the CHNV parole program. Under that program, up to 30,000 inadmissible nationals of those four countries are allowed to enter per month, on two-year periods of parole.”

Now, after a brief pause, many more thousands of migrants from these countries will be flown into the United States and remain in the country under the CHNV parole program. There is no effective way to vet them because identifying data is either not available or is deliberately withheld by the countries where these migrants came from. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is clueless as to who the migrants really are or whether they have a criminal background. And even if the sponsors who originally come forward to assume responsibility for the CHNV migrants appear to be legitimate after some vetting, they may just be fronts for criminal gang members who will take over as “sponsors.”

The Biden-Harris administration is cynically using its CHNV parole program as a convenient means to get around the nation’s immigration law restrictions and bring into the country up to 30,000 migrants a month. These migrants are not counted in calculating the number of migrants entering the country illegally for the purposes of enforcing the daily limit on the number of such entrants stipulated in President Biden’s loophole laden executive order. It is a smoke and mirrors program designed to expand so-called “lawful pathways” for migration, artificially lowering the total of migrants who are classified as illegal immigrants.

The Biden-Harris administration by executive order is conferring so-called “legal” status on immigrants who cut in line in front of those who are patiently going through the legal process the normal way to reside in this country. To add insult to injury, CHNV migrants privileged by the Biden-Harris administration with special status become eligible to receive some welfare benefits that lawful permanent residents are entitled to receive.

There are no reliable public statistics on how many of the CHNV parolees have been charged with serious crimes after settling in the U.S. But there is some disturbing anecdotal evidence. We do know, for example, that a Haitian national admitted to the U.S. at the invitation of the Biden-Harris administration allegedly raped a disabled 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts. Another Haitian national admitted to the U.S. under a related Biden-Harris parole program is alleged to have committed second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter in New York.

Even one homicide and one rape by immigrants admitted to the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration’s mass parole program are one homicide and one rape too many. They could have been avoided if the administration had not opened America’s front door to violent immigrants under legally questionable parole programs.

In any event, CHNV is the Biden-Harris administration’s more formal way of manipulating the immigration system to allow hordes of immigrants into the country who do not deserve to be here without any credible vetting. The administration’s informal way is its catch-and-release policy that has freed millions of apprehended illegal immigrants from living in cities and towns all over the country, also with virtually no vetting. Among the illegal immigrants whose border agents were released because of this insane policy are highly dangerous Tren de Aragua gang members from Venezuela – the same country that is included in the Biden-Harris CHNV parole program.

In other words, the Biden-Harris administration is providing two ways for Tren de Aragua gang members from Venezuela to enter the U.S. – the so-called “lawful pathway” through the mass parole program or exploiting catch-and-release by pretending to be asylum-seekers. Either way, Tren de Aragua is wreaking havoc in New York City, Denver, Chicago, and other U.S. cities. Murders, drug trafficking, extortion, human smuggling, trafficking of women for sexual exploitation, kidnapping, forceful seizures of residential properties, kidnappings, and other vicious crimes are Tren de Aragua’s stock in trade. The gang’s leaders have given members the green light to shoot at police officers trying to stop their criminal activities. Some members did not bother waiting for their leaders to give permission before shooting police officers in New York City.

The Biden-Harris administration finally designated Tren de Aragua as a transnational criminal organization in July of this year and imposed sanctions on its property interests in the United States. While this long-awaited action is a positive development, it will not be nearly enough to stop the gang’s network in the U.S. from continuing its crime spree and expanding. Nor will it deter other gang members from taking advantage of the Biden-Harris administration’s lax border policies and entering the United States illegally.

Donald Trump has announced that if elected president, he will undertake mass deportation, beginning with the violent criminals the Biden-Harris administration allowed into the U.S. who represent a major security threat. What would Kamala Harris do about Tren de Aragua gang members and other violent criminals the Biden-Harris administration allowed into the U.S. if she was elected president? We do not know because the media has given her a free ride.

Donald Trump also supports protecting the integrity of U.S. elections from fraudulent voting by illegal immigrants. He supports the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE), which requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections. The bill, which the House of Representatives passed in July, also requires states to remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters.

The Biden-Harris administration denounced the SAVE bill. “It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections — it is a federal crime punishable by prison and fines,” the White House said in a statement. “The alleged justification for this bill is based on easily disproven falsehoods.”

Immigrants who have entered the U.S. illegally see how little the Biden-Harris administration bothers to enforce the nation’s laws against them. At least some of them may well be tempted to self-attest to being U.S. citizens under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 if the price they receive for their fraudulent votes is high enough. The SAVE Act is another defense against voter fraud. Even one vote for president or Congress by an illegal immigrant cancels out a legitimate vote by a real U.S. citizen.

To obtain a U.S. passport, an individual must show documentary proof of U.S. citizenship as well as proof of identity. Yet, it is too much for the Biden-Harris administration to require comparable proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in a federal election. In fact, the Biden-Harris administration even opposes requiring something as simple as government-issued voter identification before an individual can cast a ballot. Too burdensome, they say, even though everything from getting on an airplane to opening a bank account requires government-issued identification.

Despite requiring folks entering her campaign rally event in Arizona recently to present government-issued ID before being admitted, Vice President Harris has opposed requiring the presentation of a government-issued ID to vote. Voter ID can prevent voter fraud and help weed out illegal immigrants who attempt to vote in a federal election. Of course, even that modest fraud prevention measure would not work in Minnesota where Harris’s running mate, Governor Tim Walsh, signed a bill into law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain state driver’s licenses. In any event, Minnesota does not have a state voter ID requirement.

Where does Kamala Harris stand on federal legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in a federal election? How about at least requiring voters nation-wide to present valid government-issued identification to be able to vote in a federal election? Will she flip-flop from opposing to supporting these proposals, as she has done on so many other issues such as claiming to support funding for further work on Trump’s border wall that she has previously condemned as “un-American?”

The mainstream media continues to let Kamala Harris get away with obfuscating her current positions on many policies of importance to the American people as well as getting away with not having to provide credible explanations for her flip-flops. It is a purposeful tactic to help the Democrats’ nominee for president conceal from voters Kamala Harris’s pro-illegal immigrant policies and other left-wing agenda items she would pursue as president.

Kamala’s Legacies Ignoring victims of terrorist mass murder, legalizing crime . . . and voter fraud.

One day before the deadline, California Gov. Gavin Newsom scrapped plans to place on the November 5 ballot a measure to compete with an already qualified proposition to reform Proposition 47. The measure, passed by voters on November 4, 2014, is a legacy item for Kamala Harris, who could be on the ballot for president this November 5.

As California’s attorney general in 2014, Harris named a proposition that changed thefts of property valued under $950 from felonies to misdemeanors. Harris called it the “Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act” but failed to explain how legalizing crime made schools and neighborhoods safer. She has claimed she took no position on the act, but the ballot language has exposed that falsehood.

Proposition 47 launched a crime wave across the state, with 31,322 vehicle break-ins in San Francisco alone in 2017, a 24-percent increase from the previous year. The measure empowered criminals to break into vehicles in broad daylight with bystanders present. The arrest rate in San Francisco, where Harris previously served as district attorney, was less than two percent, and under Proposition 47 criminals could expect at the most a citation.

The consequences of the pro-crime measure were obvious to all but the willfully blind, but the attorney general kept on the quiet side. That emboldened the terrorists embedded in the Golden State.

On December 2, 2015 at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik gunned down Robert Adams, Isaac Amianos, Bennetta Betbadal, Harry Bowman, Sierra Clayborn, Juan Espinoza, Aurora Godoy, Shannon Johnson, Larry Daniel Kaufman, Damien Meins, Tin Ngyen, Nicholas Thalasinos, Yvette Velasco, and Michael Velasco. The dead and wounded included blacks, Hispanics, Asians and immigrants, but Harris failed to call the mass murder a hate crime or even gun violence.

In a December 17 statement, attorney general Harris mentioned “those who lost their lives,” but failed to name a single victim or condemn the terrorists. In a statement one year later, Harris recalled “those who lost their lives and the loved ones they left behind,” but again named not a single victim.

This is the woman of whom President Obama proclaimed, “she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough,” and “by far the best-looking attorney general in the country.”  The attorney general owes her career to Willie Brown.

As speaker of the California Assembly from 1980 to 1995, Willie Brown was by far the Golden State’s most powerful shot-caller. In 1994 Brown, 60, met Kamala Harris, a full 30 years his junior, and she became “the Speaker’s new steady,” Brown’s “girlfriend” and “frequent companion.” The two-year relationship worked out well for Harris.

Willie Brown appointed his new steady to lucrative sinecures and backed her run for district attorney in San Francisco in 2003. She promised never to seek the death penalty and kept that promise when gang member David Hill deployed an AK-47 to gun down San Francisco police officer Isaac Espinoza. Dianne Feinstein took Harris to task as she alienated police across the state.

In her 2009 Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make us Safer, written by ghostwriter Joan O’C. Hamilton, Harris found the number of nonviolent offenders “truly staggering” and put them at the top of her “crime pyramid.” The next year, Harris set her sights on the attorney general’s office.

Harris was so lightly regarded as the Sacramento Bee, a reliable Democrat mouthpiece, endorsed her Republican rival Steve Cooley. On election night in 2010, Cooley enjoyed a lead of 10 points and proclaimed victory. The next day, the Harris campaign proclaimed that Kamala would be the next attorney general. According to a witness on the scene, members of the Service Employees International Union, loyal to Harris, were counting the harvested ballots. Three weeks later, Harris prevailed by .8 percent. If anybody thought the election was stolen from Cooley it would be hard to blame them, and the fraudsters have other forces on their side.

Voting in American elections requires American citizenship, but California registers false-documented illegals to vote when they get their driver’s license. Democrats won’t say how many illegals vote, and the “motor voter” program has never been independently audited. In 2019, attorney general Xavier Becerra hinted that there were 10 million “immigrants” in the state, and that opens up many possibilities, especially with party cadres known as politiqueros coercing illegals into voting for Democrats. Legal voters have more than a reasonable doubt about Gavin Newsom’s victory in the 2021 recall.

California’s imported electorate is a pattern for Joe Biden, who brought in some ten million illegals, adding to the 22 million already here. In 2014 vice president Biden said the illegals were “already American citizens,” so “let people vote.”

After the debate debacle, Democrats are pressing Biden to step aside. Ten years after the “Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act,” Kamala Harris could become the nation’s first poontronage president. If her career as attorney general of California is any clue, that would be a victory for illegals, criminals, and terrorist mass murderers.

“We Cannot Leave This to Chance” — RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump Tells Republicans to Vote Early

Congress Must Act to Stop Noncitizens from Voting Action is long overdue.

[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]

With less than six months to go until Election Day, Americans have ample reason to be concerned that a wave of non-citizens casting ballots could undermine the integrity of our elections. Urgent federal action is needed to address this threat before it is too late.

Many in the corporate media and the political establishment have assured Americans that they need not worry because non-citizens voting, or even registering to vote in federal elections, is already illegal – and indeed, this is the case. But this prohibition has been effectively neutralized by caveats and special carve-outs in dozens of states’ laws which create ample opportunity to violate federal election law.

One of the biggest glaring weak points in U.S. election law is the voter registration process itself. Under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, every state must use a common voter registration form that only asks applicants to check a box stating that they are an American citizen.

In other words, states must take someone’s word for it that they are eligible to vote in federal elections – effectively eliminating all structural barriers to non-citizens registering to vote.

To make matters worse, 14 states, including the swing states of Nevada and Pennsylvania, don’t even require any sort of identification to cast a ballot. This is also the case in populous states like California and New York, which in 2022 determined control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

To help guard against non-citizens voting, many states have wisely implemented voter ID laws. But even these safeguards might not be enough.

For instance, in 28 states, including the swing states of Michigan, Georgia, and North Carolina, a student ID counts as a valid form of identification for voting. But student IDs do not distinguish between citizens and noncitizens.

Moreover, at least 19 other states and the District of Columbia have passed bills allowing noncitizens to obtain driver’s licenses which also do not distinguish between citizens and noncitizens. According to Judicial Watch, roughly 80,000 illegal aliens in Minnesota alone became eligible to obtain driver’s licenses when Democrats there passed the “Driver’s Licenses for All” Act last year.

These problems have, of course, been made exponentially more severe by the more than seven million foreign nationals who have illegally poured across our southern border over the past four years. Even if only a very small fraction of these individuals illegally cast ballots this fall, it could prove decisive in states that have won or lost by just a few thousand votes in recent elections.

Instead of addressing this problem, the Biden administration has actively made it worse. Under the provisions of a 2021 Biden Executive Order, the U.S. Marshals Service is now required to provide everyone in its custody information on how to register to vote. This apparently includes illegal aliens who are ineligible to vote under federal law.

Earlier this year, AMAC’s advocacy arm, AMAC Action, launched an ongoing grassroots campaign demanding Congress take action to ensure only eligible American citizens cast ballots in federal elections. Within the first 24 hours after the campaign went live, AMAC members sent 21,000 messages to members of Congress, a clear sign of how important this issue is to the American people.

One simple step Congress can take right now is to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a common-sense bill introduced this month that gives state officials important new tools to crack down on non-citizens voting.

Specifically, this bill would fix the shortcomings of the 1993 Voter Registration Act by requiring voters to provide documentary evidence – in person – that they are a U.S. citizen and an eligible voter.The SAVE Act would also require states to work to remove non-citizens from voter rolls and require the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security administration to provide states with no-cost access to their databases. Currently, federal agencies can provide this information to states, but are not obligated to do so.

Importantly, the bill would also empower citizens to initiate legal action against election officials who fail to enforce proof of citizenship requirements, creating an important new tool to ensure accountability.

While federal legislation is urgently needed, the American people must also take action at the local level to secure their elections and ensure existing laws are being followed. That’s one reason why AMAC is hosting a series of Bootcamp for Boomers events to empower citizens to get involved in local elections, advocate for legislative reforms, and mobilize their friends and neighbors to turn out in overwhelming numbers in November.

The American people deserve the confidence to know that their elections are secure. For too long, loopholes in state laws and unaccountability from elected officials have undermined the integrity of the American electoral system, and changes are overdue.

AMAC members and millions of other Americans have sent this message loud and clear to our representatives in Washington. It is time for them to listen.

Shocking Vote Reveals True Allegiances In House As Johnson Clings To Power

In a stunning display of bipartisan unity, the House swiftly rejected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bid to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from his position. The chamber resoundingly voted to table Greene's measure by a 359-43 tally, with both Democrats and Republicans coming together to support Johnson's leadership. The vote came just hours after Greene announced her intention to move forward with the motion, which was met with a wave of boos from her colleagues. Despite Greene's efforts to garner support from fellow Republicans like Reps. Thomas Massie and Paul Gosar, her campaign against Johnson ultimately failed. The speaker even received a boost from former President Donald Trump, who stood with him at Mar-a-Lago and praised his performance. Greene had been threatening to use the motion to vacate against Johnson since late March, citing issues such as the passage of a $1.2 trillion spending package. However, her recent meeting with Johnson, during which she made a series of "suggestions" including defunding special counsel Jack Smith's inquiry into Trump and halting financial aid to Ukraine, failed to sway the House. Recent polling from Monmouth University revealed that only one in five Americans wanted Johnson replaced as speaker, further underscoring the lack of support for Greene's initiative.

Speaker Johnson and Rep. Roy to Announce SAVE Act to Protect Americans’ Right to Vote

WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, May 8, Speaker Johnson will lead a press conference on the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, legislation led by Congressman Chip Roy in the House and Senator Mike Lee in the Senate. It would require proof of American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

Entire ‘Squad,’ 70 Dems Vote Against ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’

By

Will Sen. Schumer kill the bill? Probably.

First, the actual solutions to what’s happening on campus would be to

  1. Deport foreigners supporting terrorists
  2. Refund departments are responsible for turning campuses into activism hubs
  3. Restore orders on campuses using state or federal law enforcement

2 out of 3 of those are evergreen, and even a third would mostly apply to BLM riots and other forms of political harassment.

The ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ falls far short of that. Despite the false claims on social media, it does little more than allow Jewish students to sue colleges for allowing harassment of Jews under the guise of "anti-Zionism." It could also help roll back some of the pro-terrorist propaganda in the classroom.

Will it do that?

The current bill, which few seem to have read, orders the Department of Education to exclusively use the IHRA definition of antisemitism as opposed to using it alongside other definitions. The practical upshot of the  ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ would be to force the Department of Ed to close the ‘anti-Zionism’ loophole, but in reality there’s no particular reason to think that the same bureaucrats ignoring campus antisemitism will now start taking it seriously now that the House passed a bill ordering it to.

Will the Senate even take up and pass the bill? Probably not.

70 Dems, including the Squad and most of the Left, voted against it. Sen. Schumer has indicated he’s not too excited about the people. Rep. Nadler being trotted out to attack the bill publicly suggests Schumer is getting cover to kill the bill.

The ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ is, like a lot of congressional legislation, probably doomed. It does provide grist for antisemites from the Left (and now from the Right) to spread conspiracy theories about it. (No, it does not criminalize the bible. The IHRA definition states that comparing Israel’s fight against Islamic terrorism to Jews killing Jesus is not political criticism, it’s antisemitism.)

If the ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ actually becomes law (and I don’t believe it will), a Trump administration could appoint people who would use it as a tool to end some of the abuses by terror-supporting faculty in the classroom.

For now, the vote on the ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’ was revealing when 70 Democrats voted against a bill fighting antisemitism.

That’s what it amounts to and not much else.
