An Increasingly Anti-Semitic Democrat Party
While the media are salivating over the ostensible turmoil in the Republican Party precipitated by the removal of Never-Trumper rino-Liz Cheney as House GOP Conference chair, the real action is taking place on the other side of the aisle. Democrats are in the midst of a power struggle between the old guard whose support of Israel grows increasingly tepid and the radical leftist newcomers who embrace rank anti-Semitism promoted as “social justice.”
No one better describes the mindsets of Democrat radicals known as “The scumbag/worthless-Squad,” as well as dinky/liar-Elizabeth Warren and socialist/commie-Bernie Sanders, better than historian Victor Davis Hanson. “Americans are supposed to envision Iran and its West Bank terrorists as a sort of Middle East version of BLM fighting off the systemic racism, colonialism, and imperialism of the Israelis — predictably playing their accustomed role of the Minneapolis police department,” he writes.
The other half of the equation, as in the old guard led by the likes of socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden and hanoi-John Kerry, who still mouth the platitudes of Israeli support, yet seek to re-empower Iran? “In the new global era of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, Iran also deserves inclusion and equity,” Hanson adds. “Act as if the hazing of American ships in the Persian Gulf, smuggling arms to Yemen, and assassinating Tehran’s enemies inside Iraq are all simply cries from an oppressed heart that need to be contextualized rather than deterred through a disproportionate reaction.”
For the radicals, Hamas terrorism and Israeli self-defense are indistinguishable from one another. “The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable,” tweeted socialist/commie-Sanders. “We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for US aid to support human rights violations.”
Representative scumbag/worthless-Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) concurs. “We cannot stand idly and complicitly by and allow the occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people to continue,” scumbag/worthless-Pressley insisted. “I am committed to ensuring that our government does not fund state violence in any form, anywhere. … The question at hand is should our taxpayer dollars create conditions for justice, healing and repair, or should those dollars create conditions for oppression and apartheid?”
Congresswoman scumbag/commie/liar-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized President socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden, despite his restoration of aid to the Palestinians rescinded by President Donald Trump, and his promise to send another $10 million, while remaining uncommitted to restocking Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system — which has intercepted 90% of the more than 4,000 rockets so far fired at the Jewish state by Hamas. “I don’t care how any spokesperson tries to spin this,” scumbag/commie/liar-AOC stated following socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s assertion that Israel has a right to defend itself. “The US vetoed the UN call for ceasefire. If the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden admin can’t stand up to an ally, who can it stand up to? How can they credibly claim to stand for human rights?”
Human rights? Few entities on the planet are more contemptuous of human rights than Hamas, which the U.S. has designated as a terrorist organization since 2003. It plants missile launchers and other armaments in schools and hospitals, using its own people as shields, knowing the Israelis’ attempt to stop the indiscriminate firing of missiles into their nation will be condemned by feckless internationals who decry “civilian” casualties and demand ceasefires to prevent Hamas’s military capabilities from being permanently impaired.
That call received a big boost from socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden on Wednesday when he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he wants a “significant de-escalation” in violence.
Such fecklessness elicits simple questions: Is there any other nation in the world that is expected to endure a steady barrage of increasingly sophisticated and longer-range missiles being fired into it? Would any other nation be expected to abide contemptible leftist demands for “proportionality,” as in every Palestinian casualty being “offset” by equal numbers of Israeli casualties? What other nation is expected to abide miles of terror tunnels, including one 163 football fields long connecting Gaza to Israel, used for conducting terror operations? Does anyone remember that Israel gave the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians in 2005, removing Jewish settlers in the process, or that Hamas gained control of the government there in a violent coup in 2007?
Does anyone still remember Hamas’s charter of existence calling for the annihilation of the Jewish state?
Too many Democrats don’t give a damn. “Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism,” tweeted Representative scumbag/worthless-Ilhan Omar (D-MN). scumbag/worthless-Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who is Palestinian, insists that Netanyahu should be held responsible for “war crimes.” (For his part, socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden praised Tlaib’s “intellect” and “passion” and thanked her for “being a fighter” while offering prayers for her Palestinian relatives.) scumbag/worthless-Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) played the race card. “As a black woman in America, I am no stranger to police brutality and state-sanctioned violence,” she declared. “We have been criminalized for the very way we show up in the world. … Palestinians are being told the same thing as black folks in America: There is no acceptable form of resistance.”
The “ scumbag/worthless-Squad” members are currently pushing to block an arms sale to Israel.
By contrast, Newsweek columnist Jason Lemon notes that President socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden, House Speaker scumbag/liar-Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck scumbag/liar-Schumer “appear to be at odds with a vocal segment of the Democratic Party that has criticized Israel’s actions toward the Palestinians amid the region’s escalating conflict.”
Yet even that assessment is inaccurate. While socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden and Pelosi condemned Hamas, scumbag/liar-Schumer has been conspicuously silent.
Yahoo columnist Alayna Treene attributes that silence to pure political calculation. “scumbag/liar-Schumer is up for re-election next year,” Treene explains, “and one of his potential opponents — Rep. scumbag/commie/liar-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — is one of the most vocal progressive critics of the actions taken by Israel’s leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”
In a better Democrat Party, scumbag/liar-Schumer would be vociferously condemning the moral bankruptcy that attends efforts to paint a democratic Israel and Hamas terrorists as two sides of the same coin. He would be excoriating socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden administration efforts to court Iran, which is using Hamas as de facto missile testers for its own genocidal ambitions with regard to Israel.
In this Democrat Party, the proverbial handwriting is on the wall — and has been for quite some time. In 2012, the effort to reinstate the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital into the party’s platform during its National Convention was met with a literal chorus of boos. A poll released three years ago revealed that since 2001, the share of Democrats sympathizing more with Israel had declined 11 points, from 38% to 27%. Democrats, especially those who inhabit the Black Caucus, have repeatedly met with and refused to condemn rabid anti-Semite scumbag-Louis Farrakhan.
Moreover, their anti-Israel supporters are marching in lockstep. In major cities across America, thousands of protesters marched with Palestinian flags, chanted anti-Israeli slogans, voiced support for Hamas, and, in Philadelphia, demanded an end to Israel’s right to exist.
Why? As Hanson reminds us, an increasing number of Democrats view Israel as “a white, Western, rich, wall-building, neocolonialist, neoimperialist, and apartheid state that it is in dire need of cancel culture, deplatforming, international ostracism, and military comeuppance.”
In other words, as far as too many Democrats are concerned, Israelis are every bit as “deplorable” and “supremacist” as Trump supporters.
And for those same increasingly anti-Semitic and nihilistic Democrats, the words “Never Again” ring increasingly hollower with every passing day. ~The Patriot Post
Americans Don’t Like lowlife/liar-Kamala Harris
For the immediate future, it appears the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden administration has elected to essentially keep lowlife/liar-Harris out of the spotlight, as evidenced by her continued absence from visiting the U.S. southern border even after being named “border czar” over two months ago. Evidently, the negative headlines about lowlife/liar-Harris being MIA are safer than actually having Harris out in public, maniacally cackling away at every interaction with a human.
National Review’s Charles Cooke hit the nail on the head when he observed, “That lowlife/liar-Harris is unpopular should come as no great surprise, given that she somehow manages to combine into a single package a transparent insincerity, an unvarnished authoritarianism, and a tendency toward precisely the sort of self-satisfied progressivism that helped the Republicans to limit their losses at the last general election. … The problem is that lowlife/liar-Harris is a phony.”
Another indicator that the dislike of lowlife/liar-Harris is deeper than mere public perception is the fact that she has a difficult time keeping staff. Even the Leftmedia rag The Atlantic grudgingly admits this reality: “ lowlife/liar-Harris has been an elected official for 18 years straight, but she has only a few senior aides on staff who have worked for her for more than a few months.” Of course, The Atlantic still tries explaining this away as mere “turf battles.”
lowlife/liar-Harris also apparently keeps an “enemies list.” As The Atlantic story complains, “The vice president and her team tend to dismiss reporters. Trying to get her to take a few questions after events is treated as an act of impish aggression. And lowlife/liar-Harris herself tracks political players and reporters whom she thinks don’t fully understand her or appreciate her life experience.”
Jill Biden is no lowlife/liar-Harris fan either, at least not if we consider her reaction after an early Democrat primary debate in which lowlife/liar-Harris insinuated that socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe was racist. Jill was reported to have commented that lowlife/liar-Harris could “go f— yourself.” It was these personal animosities that made it surprising to some of us that socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden chose lowlife/liar-Harris as his running mate. Yet as our publisher, Mark Alexander, never tires of reminding us, he predicted her on the ticket because she “checked all the boxes” and was thus socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s only choice once he painted himself into a corner by promising to pick a “woman of color.” The choice sure wasn’t driven by likability or merit.
We’d say it’s hard to imagine Democrats having success by coalescing around the deeply unpopular lowlife/liar- Harris come 2024 — or sooner should the situation arise — but stranger political things have happened.

Woke Business Comes With a Cost
Conservatives are generally terrible at boycotts. That’s because, temperamentally, most conservatives have a live-and-let-live mindset. “It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god,” said Thomas Jefferson. “It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” We’ll argue our case, of course, but there’s no coercion involved over mere differences of opinion. Picking pockets (and sometimes breaking legs) in order to force other people to conform to certain ideological “norms” is the domain of today’s radical leftists.
Thus, it’s newsworthy when a conservative group effectively targets companies that have bowed the knee to leftists’ Baal.
That’s the case with Consumers’ Research, a conservative-leaning nonprofit, which launched a new political-style ad campaign this week hitting Coca-Cola, Nike, and American Airlines for various “woke” positions taken by those companies. Others could face scrutiny, too, and the group plans to spend perhaps $13 million on the national ad campaign.
Coca-Cola’s offenses include opposing election integrity in its home state of Georgia and training its employees to be “less white.” It’s already gotten a rude awakening with declining sales, and Consumers’ Research hits the company for both its lies about Georgia and its sizable contribution to our national pandemic of obesity.

Nike is infamous for its longstanding wokeness, typified by forking out a boatload of money for an ad campaign featuring failed ex-quarterback Colin “The Kneeler” Kaepernick, as well as outsourcing its production to areas of China suspected of using Uyghur slave labor.

As for American Airlines, Consumers’ Research and a lot of inquiring minds want to know: “Why is CEO Doug Parker trying to appease the radical left?” Well, there’s an answer: “To distract from billions in taxpayer bailouts, from his $10 million payday, from American’s record layoffs.” Oh, and by the way, American Airlines has opposed Texas’s voter ID law, all while — you guess it — requiring its passengers to present ID.

Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers’ Research, says he’s using his group’s 91-year history of advocating for consumers in order to rightly oppose the fact that “increasingly, businesses were cozying up to woke politicians” in order to distract from product or service failures of their own. “This is phase one,” Hild added. “We’re putting these three companies on notice that consumers have had it, and they need to focus on serving their consumers and not woke politicians. Phase two — this is certainly not a unique phenomenon, and we’re going to put all corporate America on notice that this isn’t going to work anymore.”
Private businesses certainly have the right to engage in whatever political speech they like, just as private citizens do, but that speech sometimes comes with consequences. If these companies are determined to oppose everything American Patriots stand for while falsely characterizing us as racist bigots, maybe they don’t deserve our money. ~The Patriot Post
Historical Conflict: 1776 vs. CRT
The 1776 Commission, which former President Donald Trump established in 2020 to reinvigorate history and civics education, is still alive. Founded as a counterbalance to the wave of anti-Americanism that dominates school curriculums across the country, the 1776 Commission was disbanded by President socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden in his first hour in office. Nevertheless, it persists. Despite — or rather because of — the Left’s attempt to keep the American people from learning our true history and values, it was recently announced that the commission will be gathering on May 24 in Washington, DC.
Although it is no longer associated with the federal government, the commission will continue to operate in some form. Its current focus is to combat the indoctrination of American school children with the pernicious and racist dogma of Critical Race Theory.
CRT, which Mark Alexander dissected recently, is the primary tool in the Left’s attack on American history and culture. It essentially looks at all of history through a racial lens, claiming that pretty much everything white people have ever done in America is racist. CRT was on full display with the New York Times’s 1619 Project, a collection of vehemently anti-American opinion pieces that has been passed off as scholarly work but is riddled with errors and lies. The 1619 Project has since become a component in hundreds of public school history courses, despite being riddled with factual errors and rejected by numerous historians.
This rewriting of American history reflects the views of the Left — that America is an irredeemably racist nation and that all its public and private social structures must be totally dismantled to create a socialist paradise where everyone is equal (in misery). socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden has done yeoman’s work since taking office in pushing the Marxist dogma of his leftist puppeteers. Disbanding the 1776 Commission was just the beginning.
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden has now called upon the Department of Re-Education to push CRT in public schools. The department’s recent proposal would make CRT a cornerstone in teaching history in America, a move that the 1776 Commission is trying to prevent.
Matthew Spalding, vice president of Washington operations for Hillsdale College and executive director of the commission, wrote to members of the commission earlier this week. He noted, “As we said in our statement on January 20, ‘the Commission may be abolished, but these principles and our history cannot be. We will all continue to work together to teach and to defend them.’”
The commission’s report, released shortly before President Trump left office in January, calls for a return to America’s unifying ideals, and it does not turn away from America’s darker moments, like slavery and the restriction of voting rights. Instead, it calls for an honest assessment of America’s founding and its past.
The Left doesn’t want American school children to look honestly at our history, because then the kids will realize that it is the Left that is the enemy of Liberty. And that’s exactly why the work of the 1776 Commission is critical. ~The Patriot Post
