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.

What The Pro-Hamas Protests Tell Us About America’s Judeo-Christian Heritage

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

In October 2021, just five days following a National School Boards Association letter to the Biden administration labeling parents’ behavior at school board meetings “equivalent to domestic terrorism and hate crimes,” Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo calling on the FBI to investigate threats to school boards and school staff. Garland wrote, “While the spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.”

Parents who were truly, peacefully protesting were dubbed domestic terrorists, but real terrorists shouting, “Death to America” on government school campuses today are given a pass and called “protestors.”

Does anybody see the absurdity in this? Those calling for “Death to America” are not protestors. They are rioters and terrorists! Much like those employed by Antifa and BLM following the death of George Floyd, most of whom are not even students or residents, but are likely employed by the same nefarious actors.

Riot police in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles fired tear gas and pepper spray, police vehicles were set on fire and shops were looted in several cities during the riots that followed George Floyd’s death. And yet, the media continued to call them “peaceful protestors” and claimed racial victimhood as an excuse for their criminal behavior.

Where is the pepper spray and tear gas for the terrorists chanting to Jewish students “Go back to the gas chamber?”

This comes on the heels of at least two decades of teaching post-secondary students that America is systemically racist and in recent years this falsehood is even taught in K-12 government schools.

Moreover, Garland said in 2021 that constitutional protections do not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views. Are Jewish students on high school and college campuses not being intimidated based on their religious views and what about their race? Is Judaism not a race? Aren’t Hamas rioters racists and bigots? Where are the race police on this issue? But what is worse is these terrorists hate America and want us dead. Americans are the only people that Hamas hates more than Jews. In their hateful worldview, America is the “Big Satan,” and Israel is the “Little Satan.”

Children and young adults in America are taught that white Judeo-Christians are oppressors while Muslim squatters are oppressed. We should not be surprised by the illegal activity of these young adults when this is what children have been taught to think and do. But will we stand for it? It is time for freedom-loving, law-abiding Americans to stand boldly and courageously against the threat to our freedom and our very lives.

Marxist professors of the “Frankfurt School” were run out of Germany by the Nazis during World War II and infiltrated Columbia University. Three generations later, a deadline was issued for Hamas supporters to withdraw from their encampments at Columbia University or be expelled. The terrorists forged ahead and forcibly occupied one of the campus buildings. Obviously, expulsion was not the proper deterrent, and I don’t believe the terrorists care about getting an education. The terrorists committing these crimes as well as the terrorists that indoctrinated them to think this way are to blame for this violence and chaos. These students are adults and should be held responsible for their actions. They should face legal prosecution — not expulsion.

College campuses were the ideal space to begin the recent antisemitic terrorist attacks in America because they are the bastion of “free speech.” Is there any ground exempt from the occupation of terrorists in America? We have already seen the rioters in DC. Will it be your hometown next? Are terrorists being strategically placed across the country coming in from Biden’s open border invitation?

Terrorists on college campuses who refuse to dismantle their illegal encampments need to be arrested and, if illegal, deported. If they have visas, they should be revoked. Americans do not negotiate with terrorists. Send them packing or lock them up.

Essentially, this is a war against America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and ground zero for anti-American propaganda warfare in K-12 government schools. Blatant propaganda is no longer limited to colleges and universities where it should have been extinguished long ago. Children are now taught at young ages Critical Marxist theories with an intentional agenda to divide and conquer our country from within. Children are being brainwashed just as they were in China during the Mao regime and in Germany during the Hitler regime.

Americans need to wake up and take a bold and courageous stand against the takeover of our country happening before our very eyes. We need to insist on swift prosecution of true domestic terrorists with every measure of the law. Most of all, we need to take a serious look inside the horrors being taught in government schools, so we can stop this indoctrination at its roots.

Biden Administration Sends Conflicting Signals on Exports, Seems to Favor Weapons of Mass Destruction

Joe Biden IMG whitehouse-gov
Joe Biden IMG whitehouse-gov

The firehose of Joe Biden’s anti-gun executive actions continued last week, as the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at the U.S. Commerce Department issued an “interim final rule” clamping down on lawful exports of “non-military” firearms.

The move was supposedly aimed at enhancing international peace and stability and preventing human rights abuses. Yet at the same time, the U.S. State Department was proposing to ease its own regulations on the export of military-grade arms to countries the U.S. considers close allies.

One obvious takeaway from this conflicting state of affairs is that Biden’s control of firearms exports is rife with political gamesmanship and hypocrisy.

The legal regime for exporting firearms from the U.S. involves two major entities. The U.S. Department of State controls exports of guns that are “inherently for military end use.” The U.S. Commerce Department controls exports of guns that do not fit this category, the sorts of firearms that are lawfully kept by hundreds of millions of Americans in their own homes.

As we explained in a prior article, it was Obama/Biden administration that originally began the project of liberalizing export controls over so-called “dual use items,” i.e., those with both military and civilian applications. Exports of items that “provide the United States with a critical military or intelligence advantage, or, in the case of weapons, are inherently for military end use” were left to the State Department and subject to the strictest controls. Exports of other dual-use items were transferred to the Commerce Department, whose export decisions are supposed to more holistically promote American goods against foreign competitors, while insuring sufficient safeguards to protect U.S. exports from diversion or misuse.

Unfortunately, anti-gun politics tainted this effort from the start. Professional bureaucrats drafting the rules for these categorizations came up with the firearms rule first, as revolvers, bolt action rifles, and semi-automatic firearms are the paradigmatic dual use items. But the Obama/Biden administration didn’t want to be seen as liberalizing rules relating to gun sales. So they left the gun rule to languish, even as they liberalized exports of more sophisticated technology, including spacecraft and satellites, explosives and propellants, and toxicological agents. It was the Trump administration finalized firearms export rules, to much orchestrated fury and hysteria by the anti-gun movement.

Now, four years into the Biden administration, the firearm prohibition lobby has finally focused the White House’s attention on using its executive authority to undo the export liberalization effort that began with Obama/Biden.

A new “interim final rule” published by BIS last week makes sweeping changes to the rules governing exports of non-military firearms from the U.S. BIS claims,

“These changes will better protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, which include countering the diversion and misuse of firearms and related items and advancing human rights.”

The rule comes after BIS instituted a “pause” on commercial firearms exports to a host of destinations last October. During this “pause,” BIS claimed to gather information that indicated lawfully exported firearms of U.S. origin were being illegally diverted overseas and used to promote crime, human rights abuses, and terrorism. It did not, however, specifically tie this diversion to the transfer of export control from the State Department to BIS. Indeed, the preamble to the rule admits that this diversion also included firearms exported under the old State Department regime. Unsurprisingly, however, BIS’ “review” of the “evidence” determined that it needed to give U.S. firearm prohibitionists another win from the Biden administration, in the form of an administrative clamp-down on exports of non-military firearms to non-governmental end users.

What is particularly interesting about the changes BIS is proposing is how closely they mirror “reforms” gun control activists are seeking to impose on the U.S. The federal government has a relatively freer hand in regulating firearm exports than in regulating commercial sales of firearms to U.S. citizens. This is because constitutional protections are relatively weaker, and executive authority is relatively greater, in the “foreign affairs” context. Thus, the administration’s actions can be seen as a window into the sorts of restrictions it would like to impose domestically, if it believed it could get away with it.

For example, the new rule would create stricter new control categories for semi-automatic firearms, the same sorts of firearms the Biden administration has (so far) unsuccessfully sought to ban as “assault weapons” in the U.S. It would also establish dozens of “high risk” countries that would be subject to a “presumption of denial” for export licenses pertaining to non-governmental end users. This is similar to the ever-expanding list of “sensitive places” that gun control activists are seeking to establish as areas in the U.S. where the Second Amendment does not apply. Moreover, the former “presumption of approval” for licenses to most countries would be rescinded, in favor of a more skeptical case-by-case approach. This echoes the discretionary licensing regime for firearms acquisition and carry that gun control advocates favor here in the U.S. The period of export license validity, formerly four years, would be reduced to one year. Notably, in response to U.S. Supreme Court cases that have limited the discretion officials have to issue firearms licenses in the U.S., anti-gun states have responded by shortening the duration of issued licenses. In general, the rule’s restrictions are also aimed at reducing exports to private end users. Exports to foreign governments are not as adversely affected. This is reminiscent of the mindset of American gun control activists who seek mainly to control private access to guns, while strengthening the advantages that governments have over their citizens.

Indeed, even as the Biden administration was clamping down on the exports of non-military guns to civilians under BIS, it was moving to liberalize the export of machine guns and heavier weapons under the State Department to certain close allies. The NRA takes no position as to whether this liberalization is a good idea or not. We raise the issue merely to underscore the irony and apparent double standards in the administration’s approach to exports that have the potential for diversion and misuse. As we have seen right here in the U.S., governments are not immune from losing track of their own munitions, sometimes with lethal consequences.

The new BIS rule takes effect on May 30, 2024, but BIS will be accepting comments on the proposal until July 1, 2024. The easiest way to comment is through the online Regulations.gov portal. Whether or not the administration is likely to revise its rules in response to public input, well-written comments are important for advocacy efforts and for educating Congress and the public on the real-world consequences of the administration’s politically-motivated attacks on the U.S. firearms industry.

One likely outcome of the new rule is simply to divert arms sales currently emanating from the U.S. to other countries.

This will only hurt the U.S. economy and manufacturing base, while disempowering the U.S. government in overseeing and structuring these exports. America’s biggest competitors in international arms sales include Russia and China. Even by anti-gun standards, allowing unscrupulous foreign adversaries to have a bigger footprint in the international market for guns seems like a heavy price to pay for inflicting even more pain on the U.S. firearms industry.

But like all of Biden’s gun control schemes, politics, not policy, seems to be the point in the administration’s latest clampdown on firearms.

Palestinian Authority officials accuse Jews and Israelis of being ‘worse than Nazis’

Anyone with any understanding of the Palestinian Authority and the history of Palestinian leaders will understand why a two-state solution is a delusion and a ploy. In fact, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation already recognizes “Palestine” as a state, hence it claims 57 member states of the OIC. Any talk of a two-state solution by Muslim countries is a charade. The Palestinian “resistance” is really about a one-state solution, that is, the total destruction of Israel, and this is why Israel is being pushed to retreat to its pre-1967 borders: this is a strategic step toward the complete annihilation of the Jewish state.

Palestinian leaders pay terrorists to murder Israelis, regard these murderers as “martyrs,” and then call the victims of the Holocaust worse than the Nazis who killed them.

Jibril Rajoub, secretary general of Fatah’s Central Committee, has also justified the October 7 massacre “as an act in the context of the defensive war. Our people are waging.’” His comment in the article below that “the Jew is not ‘a victim’ but ‘a criminal, a terrorist, and a new form of fascism and Nazism of the last century,'” isn’t new. Years ago, he stated that Israel is “running its own Auschwitz' in Palestinian cities.” Rajoub is himself a terrorist, criminal, and a man who “played a central role in the torture and brutal murder of American citizen Azzam Rahim in 1995.” Only in a jihadi government could a man such as Rajoub exist as an official.

“When the victim of the Nazis is accused of being worse than Nazis,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, May 6, 2024:

Top PA official Rajoub: The Jew is not “a victim” but “a criminal, a terrorist, and a distorted form of fascism and Nazism of the last century”

PA daily: Israel’s “barbaric and insane war of annihilation” [in Gaza] “has exceeded all the German Nazi and Italian Fascist crimes”

PA official: Israeli PM Netanyahu is like Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister

PA TV broadcasts libel twice: “The Israelis are doing to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to them” – Egyptian international relations expert

Libel: Conditions in Israeli prisons “are unprecedented anywhere but [in] the Nazi camps of the 1940s” – PA official

While Israel today commemorates the 6 million victims of the Nazis in the Holocaust, it is at the same time constantly confronted with libel by PA leaders and officials claiming Israel is “acting like the Nazis” and worse. These lies have intensified since Hamas launched the current war against Israel with its attack and massacre in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

The official PA daily stated that Israel’s defense war against Hamas “has exceeded all the German Nazis and Italian Fascist crimes of annihilation”:

“The Zionist-American war (i.e., the 2023 Gaza war; see note below) is targeting the annihilation of the Palestinian people or exiling it from the land of Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic)… and eliminating its national cause in order to spread darkness, wars, terror, and religious conflicts… Will the [Arab] brothers, the free world, and the supporters of peace stop the barbaric and insane war of annihilation that has exceeded all the German Nazi and Italian Fascist crimes of annihilation known to history?”

[Column by regular columnist Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 12, 2024]

Two months into the war, top PA official Jibril Rajoub stated that Jews are not “victims” but “criminal[s], terrorist[s], and a distorted form of fascism and Nazism of the last century” and that the West has been “deceived” about this. He added that the war in Gaza is part of “the defense that the Palestinian people have waged and has been waging for 75 years” – in other words, since Israel’s establishment:…

Al-Qaeda joins Hamas in the jihad against Israel

By

It turns out that a Gaza based al-Qaeda affiliated group known as Jaysh al-Ummah has joined Hamas in the jihad against Israel. On December 8, Jaysh al-Ummah published a statement saying that its fighters had been clashing with the IDF in the north of the Gaza Strip and in Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City:

It’s unclear how large this al-Qaeda affiliated group is, and whether it has formed a formal alliance with Hamas. It is most likely a small branch that was operating covertly in Gaza for a long time, but has recently decided to conduct operations more overtly, because the IDF’s military operations in Gaza have given al-Qaeda the opportunity to wage jihad against Israel and assure Muslims that al-Qaeda will not neglect its duty to wage jihad against the Jewish state.

Even if there is no actual formal alliance between al-Qaeda and Hamas, al-Qaeda has clearly been assisting Hamas by virtue of attacking IDF troops in Gaza. This benefits Hamas because it forces the IDF to divide its attention into multiple different jihad groups, as well as buying time for Hamas.

This would not be the first time that al-Qaeda has tried to attack Israel, but as of this writing, it appears to be the most recent example of al-Qaeda doing so. This should have gotten more media coverage, because it shows that even though twenty-two years have passed since September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda is not only still active, but is participating in the Israel vs. Hamas war, and is one of the many jihad groups that are assisting Hamas.

Many might think al-Qaeda is a washed-up group that has become a spent force, because al-Qaeda doesn’t get anywhere near as much attention and media coverage as it did 20 years ago. Hamas and Hezbollah have been getting most of the media coverage and focus since October 7, but media coverage of a jihad group is not a reliable indication of its strength and activity.

Al-Qaeda is still around; it never disappeared.

NYC synagogues and museum receive fake bomb threats

Further adventures of those who claim the moral high ground.

“NYC synagogues, museum receive fake bomb threats, New York officials say,” Jerusalem Post, May 5, 2024:

At least four synagogues and a museum in both Manhattan and Brooklyn received bomb threats on Saturday, but none were deemed credible by the New York Police Department, a city official said.

Of the bomb threats, three were targeted at Congregation Rodeph Sholom on W. 83rd, Congregation Beit Simchat Torah on West 30th Street, and Chabad of Midtown on 5th Av & 43rd.

A police spokesperson said there was also an emailed bomb threat to the Brooklyn Museum and one to a Brooklyn Heights Synagogue on Remsen Street., with no evidence of any explosive device detected.

The email sent to the Brooklyn Museum included threats to blow up the East Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station. According to a CBS report, the MTA said an unusual package was reported outside the station, but service was not affected.

Manhattan Borough President Mark D. Levine said on X the bomb threats were “a clear hate crime, and part of a growing trend of ‘swatting’ incidents targeting Jewish institutions.”

“This is a clear effort to sow fear in the Jewish community. Cannot be accepted,” he said.

The New York Post reported the threats prompted the evacuations of at least two Manhattan synagogues….

Well-Orchestrated, Organized & Violent Anti-Jewish Fervor, Is Now Unmistakable In Every Corner Of Our Nation

“It never troubles a wolf how many the sheep be!” ~ Plato.

A long-time friend, currently living in the LA area, called yesterday expressing concern for the physical safety of himself and family.

He is Jewish, and like most of my Jewish friends, not particularly religious. Only rarely does he (at least marginally) observe Jewish holidays. In fact, in our conversations, he often expresses cynical skepticism concerning all religions.

However, he is understandably concerned about the current, well-orchestrated, well-organized, violent anti-Jewish fervor, which is now unmistakable in every corner of our nation, and by no means confined to college campuses!

An aside:

I don’t like, nor do I use, to term, “anti-Semitic.”

It comes from “Shem,” the first son of Noah of the Old Testament Flood Story. One of Shem’s ascendants was Abram, who was re-named Abraham. One of Abraham’s ascendants was Judah, the fourth son of Jacob (Jacob was later re-named “Israel”), from whom the term “Jew” originates.

The first time we heard the term “Jew” in the Old Testament, the State of Judah (southern kingdom) is at war with its former brethren (northern kingdom), now the State of Samaria. The two family groups suffered an unpleasant territorial break-up around 930 BC and thereafter were not on speaking terms.

The point is that modern-day Jews can thus surely claim to be “Semitic,” but Shem had many children and grandchildren, so every other ascendant of Shem, including most Arabs and many Europeans (probably including me), can make the identical claim.

Hence, today, the term “Semitic” is so non-specific as to be meaningless, much like the term ”Gentile,” which loosely translates to: “… not related to anyone in particular”.

“Anti-Jewish” more precisely describes the violent hatred embraced by Nazis in the 1930s, and what is rearing its ugly head once again, now in the USA, and is promoted by the same people!

Back to my story:

My Jewish friend forwarded me a letter (email) he received yesterday from a Jewish academic organization listing several “precautions” American Jews should be taking these days.

Most are related to lowering your personal profile.

It’s all sound advice, of course, but the admonishment to “go armed” was conspicuously absent from the list—a glaring omission I pointed out!

I continued that the pernicious malady of “Learned Helplessness” seems to infect the entire Jewish community here in America universally and in Europe!?

“Learned Helplessness” is when a person repeatedly faces stressful situations but makes no effort to exercise control, even when means of control are available.

Many Jews, it seems, have institutionally convinced themselves that they are forever helpless victims and thus stubbornly refuse to change their circumstances, even when change is possible.

My friend, of course (being one of my students) does not fit that mold, does go armed, and even has “weapons of war” at his disposal. In the same way, all my Jewish students audaciously reject “Learned Helplessness,” but many among their brethren continue to obstinately cling to it, despite what they know of world history and what they plainly see happening abound them now!

Just as took place in Germany in the 1930s, leftist politicians in America (particularly in CA) have created conditions that favor violent criminals, simultaneously punishing/hobbling good and decent citizens, with whom leftists (themselves being neither good, nor decent) feel no connection.

Wolves are being subsidized. Sheep are on their own!

We’re presently witnessing “Learned Helplessness,” in action. Self-declared sheep needn’t imagine they’ll die of old age!

It is time for Jews, who have deliberately imposed “sheepdom” upon themselves, to wake up. Sheep face a bleak future!
