Anyone paying attention to this seemingly minor statistic could have predicted the emergence of Zohran Mamdani as the Democrat nominee in the upcoming mayoral election.<br /><br />Mohammed had appeared as the sixth most common baby among ‘Asians’ in New York City in 2013. By 2017, the name of the genocidal warlord of Islam had become the most common baby name among ‘Asians’ in the city. The rapid growth showed the power of demographics.<br /><br />Nearly 300 Mohammeds (under various spellings) were born in New York City in 2021 accompanied by over 150 Ahmeds, and dozens of Alis, Omars, Adnans and many others.<br /><br />The Muslim population of New York City is still undetermined. While Islamist groups claim that there are over 1 million Muslims, they tend to exaggerate to build up their influence, but a Pew survey estimated Muslim settlers as making up 3% of the population of New York City.<br /><br />Mamdani only won the votes of<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/most-new-yorkers-didnt-vote-for-mamdani/"> 5% of the population</a> of New York City. That’s within 2% of the estimated Muslim population of the city. Whatever the actual size of the Muslim population of the city may be, it was more than enough to make the difference in a mayoral primary that few New Yorkers bothered to vote in because they found all the candidates repugnant even while mosques successfully turned out the bloc vote to rig an election for their candidate.<br /><br />Mamdani was not a popular candidate, but he toured the city’s mosques and told the members of one Hamas-supporting mosque that this is “an opportunity — to tell the world that Muslims don’t just belong in New York City but that we belong in City Hall.”<br /><br />That message, delivered in a mosque, combined tribal nationalism and Islamism.<br /><br />How many mosques are there in the city? There were 285 in 2015. Some current estimates place the number at over 500 now. While Islamist groups do build mosques that they don’t need and can’t fill in order to build up influence with projects like the Ground Zero Mosque and other mosques in Manhattan (which unlike Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, does not have a significant Muslim population below 125th Street) they reflect a growing Muslim population.<br /><br />The vast majority of that growth happened after 9/11. The old Arab Muslim population which cheered on the rooftops after the September 11 attacks and was responsible for pre 9/11 terrorist attacks like the World Trade Center bombing mainly lived in New Jersey and parts of Brooklyn are a minority now with the massive influx of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and other Muslims from the vicinity of India colonizing the city.<br /><br />One of the most important things to understand about Zohran Mamdani is that he isn’t just a Muslim, but he’s an Indian Muslim. His rise reflects the growing numbers of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indian Muslims who have taken over entire neighborhoods in the city.<br /><br />There are an estimated 100,000 Bangladeshis occupying parts of New York City. From around 35,000 in 2010, the colonizing population rapidly increased, taking over parts of Queens, once home to middle class Greek, Italian and Jewish populations, but now Mamdani territory.<br /><br />The Queens district that Mamdani used as a springboard to seize power in New York had formerly been held by Aravella Simotas, a fairly typical representative of the next generation of old school Democrats, before being ousted by Mamdani using Muslim bloc votes.<br /><br />On paper, both Simotas, a child of a Greek-American family who had lived in Africa, and Mamdani, the son of Indian Muslims also out of Africa, were both young ‘progressive’ Democrats who had all the right left-wing positions. Mamdani was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America while Simotas was backed by the Queens Democratic Party.<br /><br />There was virtually no difference between their actual positions forcing Mamdani to adopt increasingly insane leftist positions that are now coming back to haunt him to stand out..<br /><br />“I’ve worked with Aravella, and I’m not quite sure how you could be more left-leaning than she is,” a councilwoman said.<br /><br />Simotas had lived her whole life in Queens while Mamdani, who had been living in Manhattan, wasn’t even from Queens but had moved there for the election. Why Queens? According to Mamdani, he moved to the area because he liked the Muslim population already there.<br /><br />Mamdani had moved into Queens to run in a Muslim district against a fellow leftist Dem.<br /><br />The 2020 Democrat primary came down to a narrow victory for Mamdani at 51.20% over 48.62% by a margin of around 400 votes. That began Mamdani’s career in politics.<br /><br />Mamdani’s victory was part of a larger pattern.<br /><br />Even while Mamdani used Muslim votes to seize control of District 36, ‘Mary’ Jobaida, a Bangladeshi Muslim immigrant, tried to take control of Assembly District 37 also in Queens. Jobaida, like Mamdani, ran on a hard left social justice platform, but still lost. She now wants to run for Mamdani’s seat if he takes over City Hall.<br /><br />In Assembly District 24, David Weprin, who is Jewish, has been the target of repeated Muslim candidates running on leftist platforms including Misbaah Mahmood, Mahfuzul Islam and Mahtab Khan: an anti-Israel Islamic activist running on the slogan “Tax the Rich”.<br /><br />Mamdani’s rise reflects a larger Islamic campaign in President Trump and David Horowitz’s former neighborhood.<br /><br />In 2019, I warned that <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/queensistan-big-islamic-terror-problem-trumps-old-daniel-greenfield/">Queens was becoming ‘Queensistan”</a> after describing the rise of Islamic terrorism and colonization in the borough. “Grand Central Parkway, where Awais Chudhary, the latest Islamic terrorist operating out of Queens, planned to drop bombs on passing cars, passes a few blocks from President Trump’s childhood home. There are 5 Islamic centers within a little over a mile of where Trump had grown up.” Now Queenistan has given us Mamdani.<br /><br />And that’s not the end. Mamdani is a symptom of a larger crisis. Demographics is destiny and Muslim mass migration is proving a much greater threat to New York City than hijacked airplanes.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger.</p>“Please don’t hurt me,” he pleads. “Oh God.”<br /><br />As the passengers rush the cabin, a Muslim terrorist proclaims, “In the name of Allah.”<br /><br />As New York firefighters struggle up the South Tower with 100 pounds of equipment on their backs trying to save lives until the very last moment, the Flight 93 passengers push toward the cockpit. The Islamic hijackers call out, “Allahu Akbar.”<div><br /></div><div>Mohammed Atta had advised his fellow terrorists that when the fighting begins, “Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” He quoted the Koran’s command that Muslim holy warriors terrorize non-believers by beheading them and urged them to follow Mohammed’s approach, “Take prisoners and kill them.”<br /><br />The 9/11 ringleader quoted the Koran again. “No prophet should have prisoners until he has soaked the land with blood.”<br /><br />On Flight 93, the fighting goes on. “Oh Allah. Oh the most Gracious,” the Islamic terrorists cry out. “Trust in Allah,” they reassure. And then there are only the chants of, “Allahu Akbar” as the plane goes down in a Pennsylvania field leaving behind another blood-soaked territory in the Islamic invasion of America.<br /><br />Today that field is marked by the “Crescent of Embrace” memorial.<br /><br />Thousands of Muslims cheered the attack in those parts of Israel under the control of the Islamic terrorists of the Palestinian Authority. They shouted, “Allahu Akbar” and handed out candy.</div><div><br /></div><div>But similar ugly outbreaks of Islamic Supremacism were also taking place much closer to home.<br /><br />On John F. Kennedy Boulevard, in Jersey City, across the river from Manhattan, crowds of Muslim settlers celebrated the slaughter of Americans. "Some men were dancing, some held kids on their shoulders," a retired Jersey City cop described the scene. "The women were shouting in Arabic."<br /><br />Similar Islamic festivities broke out on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a major Islamic settlement area, even as in downtown Manhattan, ash had turned nearby streets into the semblance of a nuclear war. Men and women trudged over Brooklyn Bridge or uptown to get away from this strange new world.</div><div><br /></div><div>At Union Square, I passed NYU students painting anti-war placards even as the downtown sky behind them was painted the color of bone. They ignored the crowd streaming up past them and focused intently on making all the red letters in NO WAR line up neatly on the white cardboard.<br /><br />In the years since, I have seen that look on the faces of countless leftists who ignore the stabbers shouting, “Allahu Akbar” in London or the terrorist declaring, "In the name of Allah, the merciful," among the bloody ruin of a gay nightclub in Orlando. Instead they focus on their mindless slogans.<br /><br />“NO WAR,” “Stop Islamophobia” and “Refugees Welcome.” The world of the cardboard sign and the simple slogan is an easier and neater one than a sky filled with the ashes of the dead.<br /><br />On September 11, some of us opened our eyes. Others closed them as hard as they could.</div><div><br /></div><div>The passengers on Flight 93 who took the lead were in their thirties. But the two firefighters who made it to the 78th floor of the South Tower, Ronald Bucca, who did duty in Vietnam as a Green Beret, and Orio Palmer, a marathon runner, were in their forties. Those men and women had the most meaningful answers to the old question, “Where were you when it happened?”</div><div><br /></div><div>The great lesson of that Tuesday morning was that it wasn’t over. It wasn’t over when we understood that we wouldn’t find anyone alive in that twisted mass of metal and death. It wasn’t over when the air began to clear. It wasn’t over when the President of the United States spoke. It wasn’t over when the planes began to fly again and the TV switched from non-stop coverage of the attacks and back to its regularly scheduled programming. It wasn’t over when we were told to mourn and move on.<br /><br />It still isn’t over.<br /><br />After every attack, Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino, New York, Paris, Manchester, London, Jerusalem, we are encouraged to mourn and move on. Bury the bodies, shed a tear and forget about it.<br /><br />Terrible things happen. And we have to learn to accept them.<br /><br />But Tuesday morning was not a random catastrophe. It did not go away because we went back to shopping. It did not go away with Hope and Change. Appeasing and forgetting only made it stronger.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Where were you?” is not just a question to be asked about September 11, 2001. It is an everyday question. What are you doing today to fight the Islamic terrorists who did this? And tomorrow?</div><div><br /></div><div>Our enemies wake up every day wondering how to destroy us. Their methods, from demographic invasion to WMDs, from political subversion to random stabbings, are many.<br /><br />A new and terrible era in history began on 9/11. We are no more past it than we were past Pearl Harbor at the Battle of Midway. Its origins are no mystery. They lie in the last sound that came from Flight 93.<br /><br />“Allahu Akbar.”<br /><br />We are in the middle of the longest war in American history. And we still haven’t learned how to fight it.</div><div><br /></div><div>September 11 has come around again. You don’t have to run into a burning building or wrestle terrorists with your bare hands. But use the day to warn others, so you can answer, “Where were you?”</div></content><link href="http://www.danielgreenfield.org/feeds/6963890724145433734/comments/default" rel="replies" title="Post Comments" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.danielgreenfield.org/2025/09/its-not-over.html#comment-form" rel="replies" title="6 Comments" type="text/html"/><link href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11368628/posts/default/6963890724145433734" rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11368628/posts/default/6963890724145433734" rel="self" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.danielgreenfield.org/2025/09/its-not-over.html" rel="alternate" title="It's Not Over" type="text/html"/><author><name>Daniel Greenfield</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image height="32" rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhRSvmnQijYr-BAX6Dhyjov7iV0exSO5_GeAmrS9KrDfyKL3VSV3Un-5pZhpzro8iWIUneqiL4ANYnGEUoTL0vy8NsLmlYYh-OMLsfNWslVjJgEd_c4FeGGK5dq-f2R63PGJTSDp-d1bMHg9mFKJEaV6Dfl20ZBX9rGmaVz8MlOTuPQ/s220/headshot%20bw4.jpg" width="30"/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdthZA5A84pv8ZBzhPtEi63Ym_TUtdEEeLKdoied-vWQ3SdF15ef0Tf3YVhzzq5eluQVXILxt3xpe6PwmFzYcCdh4GWzSY8FsaUlIJXiSNwoyJQylL59kHkxuSuZG5vJ_NPf7Ene420orfQPLuYZQCn5mr0uN2-A6VshmJsjnhLReS3bbNkSDgbg/s72-w640-h394-c/image_2024-09-11_092612309.png" width="72"/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-8822909994241686063</id><published>2025-09-08T22:07:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2025-09-08T22:07:29.790-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="recent"/><title type="text">How a Rich Kid Politician Was Spun as a Working Class 'Oysterman'</title><content type="html"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr-pKHeV_jPqvDTU6nAHNjZTeZS8qr2jgGH0r_ONZ2IR6ixhylVXscz-faTrh6FEm7LtN8uefNP1gY_98r-VzwPu64O1Mz7EaMRR8tuZ__Zi6GwoewRQKa6XJvfTiORwiu0QS8foKpybU6_oxJyeeXjqume-XCw20GEHoAyOitBbAVrpNUKHof-Q/s928/platner%20frame.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="928" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr-pKHeV_jPqvDTU6nAHNjZTeZS8qr2jgGH0r_ONZ2IR6ixhylVXscz-faTrh6FEm7LtN8uefNP1gY_98r-VzwPu64O1Mz7EaMRR8tuZ__Zi6GwoewRQKa6XJvfTiORwiu0QS8foKpybU6_oxJyeeXjqume-XCw20GEHoAyOitBbAVrpNUKHof-Q/w640-h460/platner%20frame.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> There is the Graham Platner that the media wants you to see: Maine oysterman, veteran and gun owner, a working class type who could easily be MAGA, but is running as a Democrat.<br /><br />Then there’s the real Graham Platner, son of a prominent local attorney, grandson of a major modernist architect, whose business was funded by a nonprofit grant meant for black people.<br /><br />And by his mother who owns multiple businesses.<br /><br />While he’s been billed as an outsider candidate with no interest in professional politics, he’s actually the activist son of a council candidate and the husband of a town selectwoman, as well as a local official whom the media had regularly turned to for quotes since at least 2009.<br /><br />Media write-ups about the Maine Senate candidate’s oyster business typically mention that he grew up in the area leading to the impression that he came from a working-class family from some of the traditional trades, but nothing could be further from the truth about the Platners.<br /><br />Graham Platner attended the prestigious John Bapst Memorial High School, a college prep school (current tuition: $12,500) and came from a wealthy and prominent local family. At school the leftist activist was described as “most likely to start a revolution” in his yearbook while holding a ‘Free Palestine’ sign which based on speeches still appears to be his biggest issue.<br /><br />Platner claims that “everyone knows we live in a system that is not built to represent working-class people.” How would he know? He was never a member of the working class.<br /><br />Bronson Platner, Graham’s father, was not an ‘oysterman’, he was a lawyer, including for a local town, who was reprimanded for <a href="https://www.mebaroverseers.org/dah_schedule/decisions.html?id=88934">professional misconduct</a>, and a former assistant DA. Platner’s father was a major donor to Democrats, including Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, donating thousands to the Vermont socialist who would later endorse his son, and Bronson eventually made a failed run for city council in the town of Ellsworth.<br /><br />One of Bronson’s positions was in favor of painting a crosswalk in LGBTQ rainbow colors.<br /><br />Bronson Platner had donated over $50,000 to Democrats over the years. This is not the kind of money that a working class family or even a regular lawyer spends on politics as a hobby.<br /><br />Graham’s grandfather, Warren Platner, was a prominent modernist architect who had worked with I.M. Pei and had designed dorms at Yale and part of Manhattan’s Lincoln Theater. Graham’s aunt is the director of child care at the Yale New Haven Hospital. It’s the kind of family that the New York Times and other media outlets would normally love to write about.<br /><br />But instead the media ignores Platner’s wealthy Connecticut society roots, his time at George Washington University and portrays him as a hard-working local oysterman.<br /><br />A month before Platner announced his candidacy, the New York Times stopped by and took a boat tour with him accompanied by photographs of the future Senate candidate in his usual working class drag, gimme cap and t-shirt, harvesting and shucking oysters. Those pictures were then reused for the Times profile on his Senate campaign (a privilege most local candidates don’t get) leaving readers with the impression it’s a one-man operation.<br /><br />(Tourism at $95 a person appears to form a significant part of Platner’s business.)<br /><br />Graham Platner’s takeover of an existing oyster business was actually funded by a $20,000 grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, a Greek billionaire’s nonprofit, and by his mother, Leslie Harlow, a local businesswoman who owns two restaurants and a gift shop in the area.<br /><br />“His best customer happens to be his mom,” one description put it. “The fact that I get to have a personal and business relationship with my mom, the fact that my mom has a restaurant that I get to sell my products at, it’s really quite wonderful,” Graham Platner said in a video profile.<br /><br />The Niarchos Foundation grant that helped finance Graham Platner’s business was supposed to be for small businesses owned by “underserved groups” without “access to capital” like “people of color, women, and veterans as well as those in lower-income communities”.<br /><br />While Platner was a veteran, he came from a wealthy family and his business was not recovering from the pandemic. The progressive maxed out the $20,000 grant and took money that the Niachos Foundation had intended should go to <a href="https://www.snf.org/en/news-stories/news/announcements/snf-small-business-growth-recovery-fund-launched-by-the-national-community-reinvestment-coalition-and-snf/">help black people</a> to build his business.<br /><br />As a profile politely put it, “with a built-in support system of friends and family in the hospitality industry, Platner bought a boat and began the process of expanding.” It’s unclear who else besides his mother was working in the “hospitality industry”, but it appears that Platner’s business was built on friends and family. And a grant he should never have gotten.<br /><br />Finally the media narrative about Graham Platner is that he’s an outsider candidate with no interest in professional politics. Platner is actually the son of a political candidate and his wife Amy Gertner was on the Select Board of the town of Hope. And Graham is a local official.<br /><br />Platner is not an outsider. He’s a ‘progressive’ leftist activist from a family of them.<br /><br />His Senate campaign tweeted a high school yearbook picture of him holding up a sign reading “Free Palestine” above the headline “Most likely to start a revolution”. Unlikely behavior for a working class family, but quite in keeping with the scion of a wealthy and progressive family.<br /><br />During his campaign, Graham Platner claims that he left the military because he became disillusioned with the war. “I left the Army in 2012 pretty cynical. I’d become pretty disgusted with American foreign policy. Pretty disgusted with the wars.” he claimed in an interview.<br /><br />But there was nothing to be “disillusioned” by because Graham never supported the war.<br /><br />As a teenager, Graham Platner had taken part in anti-war rallies during the Iraq War. He didn’t join the military because he believed in the cause, but as he admitted, “I wanted to be a soldier since I was two years old…at 19, I was also a young man drawn to an adventure – and serving overseas was the ultimate adventure.”<br /><br />Was Platner really so disillusioned and cynical about the military in 2012? Then why does a $1,000 donation to a Democrat in 2018 list his employer as one of the incarnations of Blackwater? In an interview, Planter was described as having felt a conveniently “renewed call to service” in 2018 that led him to work in Afghanistan as a security contractor.<br /><br />If you believe Graham Platner, he joined a war he didn’t believe in, then he dropped out because he didn’t believe in it, then he decided to believe in it some more, and then stopped believing in it a few years later, and now he’s running against a war that he switched between being for and against so many times that it would have given John Kerry whiplash.<br /><br />The most curious thing by far about Platner though is how much interest the media had in him, not just now when he announced his candidacy, but going back as far as the oughts.<br /><br />Quotes by Graham Platner appear in media stories, not local ones, but in national papers like the Washington Post going back to 2009. One or two might be coincidence, but whenever the media needed to quote an Iraq War veteran, it turned to a seemingly obscure man from Maine.<br /><br />In 2016, for example, the Washington Post looked to Platner to condemn Trump for not really caring about veterans. “Graham Platner, a Marine who fought in the battle of Ramadi, thinks that Trump is playing the part of ‘patriotic culture warrior’ and thinks that Trump’s ‘knee-jerk patriotism’ plays directly to his base.” That’s something Platner may know a lot about.<br /><br />Past the gimme cap and the oysterman costume is the shiftless radical son of a wealthy family who joined the military for adventure, spent years at George Washington University on the taxpayer dime without emerging with any obvious employable profession (a Washington Post story from 2009 describes him taking an ‘art history’ class) and then had his mother, friends and family set him up with an existing oyster farm that he then used to conduct tours for tourists.<br /><br />And sell oysters to his mother’s restaurants.<br /><br />It’s a less ‘Made for MAGA’ profile than the veteran oysterman grumbling about wasted lives in Iraq that is part of the Senate candidate’s current brand. Truer still is the wealthy prep school kid who held up a ‘Free Palestine’ sign in his yearbook still running against Israel’s war on Hamas which make up a significant part of his ad binge and gave him the nickname ‘Maine Mamdani’.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The Taliban are claiming 800 dead and thousands injured. The Europeans and other countries are promising to send aid.<br /><br />And the United States of America should refuse to join them.<br /><br />Casualty numbers coming out of the Taliban are as worthless as those coming from Hamas in Gaza or the Houthis in Yemen. Terrorists always lie, trying to make us feel sorry and guilty, just before they try to kill us. And the nonprofits, including the UN, that work in those areas are rotten with terrorists and their useful idiots, and should never be believed about anything.<br /><br />But even if half of Afghanistan were dead or dying, we should not send a single penny because none of the aid will go to earthquake victims, no more than the food sent to Gaza or Yemen went to regular people, it will go to the terrorists who use it to fund their Islamic terror state.<br /><br />And a generation after 9/11, the Taliban are not only back in power, but they are harboring Al Qaeda and any money we send can be used to harbor the terrorists who continue to kill us.<br /><br />The latest SIGAR (Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction) r<a href="https://www.sigar.mil/Portals/147/Files/Reports/lessons-learned/SIGAR-25-29-LL.pdf">eport documented </a>that the Taliban, like Islamic terrorists everywhere, divert aid, tax nonprofits, force them to hire their own terrorists as employees and use the aid we send as an asset.<br /><br />The Taliban don’t care about their own people, that’s why they used them as human shields when fighting us, it’s why they use them as human shields now because they know we care. The sight of a crying child in Afghanistan, Yemen, Gaza or anywhere in the world touches us.<br /><br />But to our enemies, it’s just another weapon.<br /><br />Our efforts to rebuild Afghanistan paradoxically financed the Taliban’s comeback. The more we tried to send food, open schools and build wells, the more money flowed to the Taliban. While our idiot politicians and generals insisted that we could “win the hearts and minds” of the Afghans by showering them with aid, the Taliban took that aid and bought themselves an army.<br /><br />We tried to “win hearts and minds”. The Taliban won the war. And got all the bodies.<br /><br />After Afghanistan fell, we should have learned a lesson, but as Freedom Center Investigates documented, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-admin-sent-2-billion-to-afghanistan-since-taliban-takeover/">sent $3.7 billion to Afghanistan</a> after <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/usaid-sent-over-18-billion-to-islamic-terror-states/">the takeover.</a><br /><br />Biden<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/3-5b-from-9-11-victims-being-held-by-u-s-for-the-taliban/"> stole money from 9/11 victims</a> for the Taliban, he <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-prints-money-for-the-taliban/">arranged to print currency </a>for the Taliban, <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-paying-osama-bin-ladens-old-airline-fly-out-daniel-greenfield/">booked seats</a> on Osama’s old airline and enabled the<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/usaids-taliban-money-laundering-scheme/"> shipment of billions</a> in<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/millions-in-hundred-dollar-bills-flown-to-the-taliban-for-humanitarian-aid/"> hundred dollar bills</a> via the United Nations. No Saudi billionaire was half as clever at financing Islamic terrorists as the Obama and the Biden administrations were at abusing taxpayer money.<br /><br />Since Trump took office, the Taliban have been struggling. They were even desperate enough to go to <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/taliban-blame-afghanistans-problems-on-global-warming/">a global warming conference </a>to ask for money. The earthquake may be catastrophic for the ordinary Afghans affected by it, but it’s a blessing for the Taliban who will now be able to cash in on aid from the European Union, Japan and anyone stupid enough to send help.<br /><br />America is the motherlode. Our politicians dispense foreign aid on a scale no one else can. We were the gushing well that the UN and dozens of ‘humanitarian groups’ used as the pipeline to aid terrorists worldwide. President Trump and DOGE began putting a stop to it. And that’s good.<br /><br />Sending aid to enemy nations doesn’t help: it makes things much worse every single time.<br /><br />When the Communists took over the Soviet Union and a famine broke out, they might have lost power, but the United States organized a massive famine relief effort, which, at least under Hoover was intended to keep Communists out of the loop, but under FDR no longer did, and the result was that the Communists remained in power for generations leading to millions dead and a Cold War that might have climaxed in a nuclear war that could have destroyed America.<br /><br />After Mao’s Great Famine in China, it was Canada’s turn to bail out the Communist dictatorship with massive shipments of wheat even as the PRC was sending its ‘foreign aid’ to Cuba. The end result was that the People’s Republic of China survived, industrialized and became a grave threat to the free world. That may yet lead to a devastating world war or the fall of the West.<br /><br />Our insistence on aiding the Muslim world made it wealthy enough to finance terrorism and spread the influence of its violent and hateful doctrines to our own nations and cities. After a generation of failed foreign policy operations in which we could literally track how our aid went into the hands of terrorists, there are plenty of politicians and professional humanitarians who are already demanding that we send aid to Afghanistan because surely it will be different now.<br /><br />These claims are accompanied by outright lies, long since disproven, that the aid doesn’t go to terrorists or benefit terrorists, and that by sending aid we can liberalize the Taliban or undermine their rule. All of this is absolutely false. SIGAR and journalists, including those at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, have long since documented how the Taliban appropriates aid.<br /><br />Sending aid will not ‘liberalize’ the Taliban. The Taliban initially pretended to be more moderate in the hopes of extracting more aid from us. When they saw that it wasn’t coming, they stopped pretending and began publicly lashing women, but we should not confuse this deception with any meaningful change in the nature of the Islamic supremacist regime that runs Afghanistan.<br /><br />The Taliban tell us what they think will make us give them money. It doesn’t reflect either their actual nature or the reality on the ground. What we know about Afghanistan comes from the Taliban and from employees of ‘humanitarian groups’ who are also members of the Taliban.<br /><br />These ‘UN Taliban’ brief western supervisors who then relay this information in quotes to the media. This method of whitewashing terrorist propaganda is also routinely used in Gaza. By putting westerners, especially women, from groups like the UN or the Red Cross out front, viewers believe that they’re relaying their own experiences, when in reality they’re usually nowhere near the affected areas, they’re closely supervised by the terrorists when they do travel, and they are handfed reports by their ‘employees’ who actually work for the Taliban.<br /><br />Finally, sending aid will not only not undermine Taliban rule, it will secure it because the Islamic supremacist regime will use that aid to help its own supporters, and to bribe clans and groups into supporting it. The Communist regimes in Russia and China pretended that the western food was actually coming from their own agricultural projects and proved the power of Communism.<br /><br />We did not discredit Communism by providing aid to Communists and we won’t discredit Islam by providing aid to Islamists. If we want to defeat our enemies, one elementary place to start is by not sending them aid no matter how much they whine, wail or guilt trip us. Guilt is the great industry of the postmodern West. It’s also the religion of those with no religions.<br /><br />But sending aid to Afghanistan is not merciful to those living there or to us. Afghanistan’s best hope and our best interest is that the Jihadists running it should fall. The Taliban’s best hope and interest is that we send them ‘humanitarian aid’ that they use to fund their terrorist regime.<br /><br />We tried defeating them with aid, but the best hope of beating them is to end all aid.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

It’s still the only part of the Bronx represented by a Republican councilwoman. But the growth of Little Yemen aims to make it fully Democrat.<br /><br />And the building of the megamosque is backed by <a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/">over $1 million</a> in federal taxpayer funding.<br /><br />The Bronx Muslim Center is a<a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/bronx-friday-sermon-christians-cannot-fill-their-churches-regular-people-so-they-are-letting"> source of hate</a> where speakers have mocked Christians, spread antisemitism and supported Hamas. The Bronx megamosque’s social media account<a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/"> cheered for “victory</a>” in Gaza with pro-Hamas groups and urged followers to “disrupt” cities in protests for Gaza. A past NYPD intelligence document<a href="https://privacysos.org/sites/all/files/NYPD_racist.pdf"> had warned that</a> “individuals believed to be supporters/members of Hamas may have links to the Bronx Muslim Center”.<br /><br />As <a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/">reported last year,</a> Hamud Alsilwi, the imam of the Bronx Muslim Center, praised Hamas founder Ahmad Yassin for “making the Jews sleepless”, backed stoning ‘adulterers’ and posted a message stating that the war “stirs jihad in the souls of Muslims, which terrifies the West.” Akram Omar, a supporter of Zohran Mamdani, of the Bronx Muslim Center <a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/">had promoted</a> Hamas propaganda and “reposted praise for the October 7 attacks, featuring video of cheering crowds.” In remarks at the mosque, he declared that Muslims are “willing to die” to defeat Israel.<br /><br />At a rally at the terror mosque, Mamdani had urged that in the election, the congregation had “an opportunity — to tell the world that Muslims don’t just belong in New York City but that we belong in City Hall.”<br /><br />Behind the hate megamosque is the <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/muslim-american-society-mas/">Muslim American Society.</a> The MAS’s co-founder and documents seized in a raid on a Hamas associate identified the organization as a Muslim Brotherhood operation. MAS admits that the Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan was behind its founding, while claiming that “many immigrant organizations would likely have had some founders who had some involvement or even membership in the Ikhwan.”<br /><br />The Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan is the organization behind numerous international Islamic terrorist groups including Al Qaeda and Hamas. Osama bin Laden had first traveled to Pakistan as an envoy of the Muslim Brotherhood. One of Al Qaeda’s founding organizations was a splinter group of the Muslim Brotherhood known as Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Bin Laden’s successor and the thinker behind much of Al Qaeda’s operations came from a Brotherhood family and was inspired by Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb to join EIJ.<br /><br />MAS president Esam S. Omeish had been forced to step down after video of a speech in which he declared that, “you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”<br /><br />15 years ago, the MAS had been at the epicenter of the plan to build a three story mosque in Sheepshead Bay which had torn apart that Brooklyn community. Around that same time, work also started on the project to build the Bronx ‘megamosque’ to secure control over the area.<br /><br />MAS locations have been sources of disturbing advocacy and training for Islamic terrorism.<br /><br />The Philadelphia chapter of the MAS <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/children-singing-philadelphia-muslim-society-martyred-palestine-soil-fedayeen">posted videos</a> of <a href="https://www.jns.org/muslim-american-society-lied-about-school-in-jihad-video-being-a-separate-entity/">children at an MAS school</a> singing “chop off their heads” and <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/philadelphia-children-sing-about-girls-women-arming-brave-palestinian-fighters-islamic">vowing to be </a>“<a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/children-philadelphia-palestine-ummah-day-sacrifice-aqsa-chop-off-heads-eternal-torture">martyred</a>” in the Islamic Jihad.<br /><br />Now American taxpayers have been forced to contribute over $1 million to the construction of a megamosque preaching hate, terror and death in a former Republican district. In contrast to the $1,050,000 appropriated for a foreign organization’s mosque that preaches hate and terror, the Word of Life Community Center, which helps the borough’s African-American community received less than half of that as did the roof repair projects of two local libraries.<br /><br />But they matter less than the megamosque.<br /><br />In his 2023 appropriations request for the megamosque, Rep. Ritchie Torres claimed that the money is “an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the construction of the Bronx Muslim Center will allow the center to increase its social services to the community.” But the Community Development Block Grant under which Rep. Torres applied bars the use of federal funds for any religious activities. And the vast majority of the Center’s activities appear to be religious.<br /><br />The mosque’s fundraising site shows that it was trying to raise $1.5 million (of which it only appears to have raised less than $500,000) after $2 million in previous spending suggesting that the $1 million federal grant actually makes up much of the current funds for the mosque’s construction. The Bronx Muslim Center’s fundraising focuses on the need to find space for 2,000 Muslim settlers to attend services and study Sharia, not aiding non-Muslims. It describes its mission as conveying “Islam with utmost clarity”, not providing social services to the borough.<br /><br />And rather than improving life for non-Muslims in the Bronx, the mosque evicted the residents of two houses to demolish them and make way for their four-floor temple of hate. Even before it’s completed, the megamosque is already making life worse for New Yorkers.<br /><br />The ACLU would be suing if federal funds were going to churches or synagogues, for example, the ACLU sued to block funds from going to the Princeton Theological Seminary and a New Jersey Yeshiva school, it has filed lawsuits in numerous states to block funds from going to Christian institutions, but it has done nothing about the federal funding of mosque construction in New York because in this, as in so many other things, the rules are different for Islam.<br /><br />But the rules shouldn’t be different. And taxpayers shouldn’t be funding terror and hate.<br /><br />American taxpayers are being compelled to fund a megamosque that preaches hate toward Christians and Jews, that supports lawless assaults on businesses, whose leaders cheer on terrorism and whose origins lie in organizations intertwined with Al Qaeda and Hamas.<br /><br />As the 9/11 anniversary approaches, New Yorkers are reminded of who’s really winning the war.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Seidler-Feller had to be pulled off the diminutive woman by “three or four large college men.”<br /><br />Since then, Seidler-Feller has continued signing letters condemning Israel for defending itself.<br /><br />While Seidler-Feller had attended an Orthodox seminary at Yeshiva University in 1971, he stopped being an Orthodox Rabbi a few years later and was not actually ordained until he was later sent an ordination certificate in appreciation for soliciting money from Barbara Streisand.<br /><br />This still makes Seidler-Feller more of an ‘Orthodox rabbi’ than many of the signatories.<br /><br />A quarter of the ‘rabbis’ signing on to the letter, like ‘Rabba Amalia Haas’, the Chief Bee Whisperer of a company that “teaches about climate change through Jewish texts”, Rabba Aliza Libman Baronofsky, Rabbi Dina Najman, Rabba Melissa Scholten-Gutierrez, Rabbi Emily Goldberg Winer, among 20 female ‘Rabbis’ signing on, were never Orthodox rabbis at all.<br /><br />Orthodox Judaism does not ordain or maintain female rabbis as a basic matter of Torah, tradition and law. A significant number of the signatories to the letter are therefore non-Orthodox clergy posing as Orthodox clergy in order to undermine Israel’s fight against terrorism, and to make it appear that there is actual opposition to the fight within the Orthodox community.<br /><br />Who’s actually behind the letter which falsely claims that Israel is responsible for “starvation” and complains that “Israeli extremists” responded to Oct 7 (which was backed by the vast majority of the enemy population) with “blanket suspicion of the entire population of Gaza”?<br /><br />The anti-Israel letter was posted on the website of Torat Chayim, a front group for<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/left-wing-movement-hijack-kosher-food-daniel-greenfield/"> Uri L’Tzedek, a radical leftist spinoff</a> of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, a non-orthodox social justice seminary pretending to be Orthodox which is responsible for ordaining many of the signatories.<br /><br />Uri L’Tzedek was set up by ‘Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz’, a leftist activist who had converted to Judaism, who had previously laid out his vision for “an Orthodox Judaism rooted in social justice” and who has claimed credit for working to produce the anti-Israel letter while claiming that he has concerns about Israel’s “moral compass” and the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza”.<br /><br />Yanklowitz had held study sessions with ‘Rabbi’ Jill Jacobs, the head and member of anti-Israel groups, including J Street’s Rabbinic Cabinet and T’ruah which promotes boycotts of parts of Israel. Some signatories of the anti-Israel letter like ‘Rabbi’ Jonah Winer (He/Him) of T’ruah, are also members of anti-Israel hate groups. (Jonah’s wife, ‘Rabbi’ Emily Goldberg Winer of Beth Sholom is also a signatory.)<br /><br />The anti-Israel letter tears the mask off Uri L’Tzedek which after Oct 7 had pretended to be pro-Israel. The group even fielded a ‘slate’ for the World Zionist Congress under the completely misleading name of Dorshei Torah Ve’Tzion (Seekers of Torah and Zion) which on a field of waving Israeli flags laid out a platform that claimed to include ‘Zionism and Support for Israel’ (alongside “LGBTQ Inclusion” and a call for “security and dignity” for the “Palestinian people”.)<br /><br />The Uri L’Tzedek, Eshel (LGBTQ), JOFA (feminist) and Yeshivat Maharat (a feminist seminary) slate included multiple signatories to the anti-Israel letter including ‘Rabbi’ Aliza Libman Baronofsky, Rabbanit Leah Sarna, Rabbi Max Davis and Rabbi Barry Dolinger.<br /><br />Uri L’Tzedek, like other post-Orthodox groups, claim that it draws support from an underrepresented part of the Orthodox Jewish community, but who’s really funding it?<br /><br />The list of sponsors for Uri L’Tzedek consists of non-Orthodox leftist groups and includes the Nathan Cummings Foundation, tied to the Soros network, and was the funder for a variety of anti-Israel groups including J Street, the Israel Policy Forum and Americans for Peace Now.<br /><br />Other backers include the liberal Koch’s Stand Together Foundation. The Koch libertarian network does not normally back Jewish groups with the exception of anti-Israel ones.<br /><br />Finally, Uri L’Tzedek is funded by one of the most notorious backers of the most extreme anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/puffin-foundations-obsession-communism-revives-war-daniel-greenfield/">the Puffin Foundation</a>. Puffin, which <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/puffin-foundations-obsession-communism-revives-war-daniel-greenfield/">blatantly celebrates Communism</a> as an ideal, funds Jewish Currents, a spinoff of the old Communist Party’s Yiddish paper, which accused Israel of “genocide” and described Hamas atrocities as “resistance”.<br /><br />Simone Zimmerman, a former employee of Uri L’Tzedek and a founder of the anti-Israel hate group If Not Now, wrote in the publication, calling for a communal endorsement of BDS and declaring that “Jewish communities should ask themselves ‘What would you have done to stop the annihilation of the Jews of Europe?’ and should do just that for Palestinians now. You are either for genocide or against it.”<br /><br />Uri L’Tzedek vet Zimmerman had described immigration authorities as “the American Gestapo” for deporting Hamas supporters and slurred Jews fighting antisemitism as “Nazi collaborators” for supporting Jewish students being assaulted by antisemitic mobs on college campuses.<br /><br />This is the money and the real agenda lurking behind the latest anti-Israel letter.<br /><br />Despite the media hype, the anti-Israel letter does not represent Orthodox Jews or any kind of legitimate rabbinic movement. Many of the ‘rabbis’ signing the letter are not qualified to be Orthodox rabbis, their ordination disproportionately comes from the non-Orthodox Yeshivat Chovevei Torah social justice institution, or from Yeshivat Maharat, which had been set up by the YCT network to ordain female rabbis. Many are not practicing rabbis, but are academics and activists who use a ‘rabbi’ title to bolster their credibility. Some have entirely different professions in medicine or law. Few actually have functioning congregations. A number are ‘campus rabbis’ or teach at various non-Orthodox institutions where there are no religious standards.<br /><br />Their views are not those of Torah or the Orthodox Jewish religious tradition.<br /><br />Despite claiming to be Orthodox rabbis, a number are affiliated with non-Orthodox institutions like ‘Rabbi Wendy Zierler, PhD she/her’ who teaches Feminist Studies at the Reform movement’s Hebrew Union College. Rabbi Dr. Michael Chernick also teaches at HUC.<br /><br />As the <a href="https://coalitionforjewishvalues.org/2025/08/a-rabbinic-response-to-a-misguided-call-for-moral-clarity/">Coalition for Jewish Values</a>, an actual Orthodox Jewish organization notes, the <a href="https://coalitionforjewishvalues.org/2025/08/a-rabbinic-response-to-a-misguided-call-for-moral-clarity/">signatories include</a> “several openly gay clergy” like Steven Greenberg, a gay man, as well as Rabbi Daniel Landes who had ordained a gay man, also incompatible with traditional Jewish practice. Rabba Melissa Scholten-Gutierrez serves on the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), a group that defended collaborating with anti-semitic and anti-Israel activists Rabbis for Repro Advisory Board and has advocated for abortion as a “Jewish right”.<br /><br />The list is full of fringe leftists involved in feminist theory, gender theory and queer theory like Tyson Herberger, who studies “queer issues in Judaism”. Rabbi Dr. Lindsey Taylor-Guthartz is a feminist scholar who offers online courses such as ‘An Introduction to Islam for Jews’. Rabbi Dr. Joshua Feigelson runs the Institute for Jewish Spirituality which promotes mindfulness and meditation. Rabbi Dr. Alon Goshen-Gottstein has promoted using Hinduism to “stretch Jewish thought”. Rabba Aliza Libman Baronofsky claims to be the parent of a “non-binary child”.<br /><br />All of these are fringe views that are as representative of Orthodox Judaism as a ham sandwich.<br /><br />The vast majority of Orthodox Jews stand with Israel. Just as the vast majority support President Trump. Unlike the majority of American Jews, they do not believe that Judaism must defer to liberalism and that it must adopt leftist definitions of justice to be a moral foundation. And the more they stand strong, the more the Left, under its various guises, tries to get in.<br /><br />The New York Times may promote the lie that these leftist front groups taking a stand against Israel represent Orthodox Judaism, but actual Orthodox Jews will always know better.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Audrey Hale left behind a manifesto that the authorities tried to suppress. Robert Westman filled social media with deranged rants, filmed a video manifesto and decorated his gun with calls to kill Trump and Jews, and hate toward Christians.<br /><br />After every mass shooting, the media turns into impromptu gun experts, enthusiastically discussing calibers and manufacturers, to avoid talking about the motive. Probably knowing that, the killer wrote his motives on his gun and media outlets still refuse to discuss it.<br /><br />The children murdered at Covenant and the Annunciation Catholic Church are secondary victims of the transgender culture wars. The primary victims were two unstable children who had been routed into the ‘therapy’ system, heavily drugged with mind-altering substances, convinced that they were members of the opposite sex and led to believe that the only thing standing in the way of their happiness were those who refused to accept that they were the opposite sex.<br /><br />Some years back, Maya ‘Alex’ McKinney, who was 16 at the time and was being ‘transitioned’ from the time she was 11, opened fire at a Colorado school. Like Hale, who had been in various forms of therapy since she was 6 years old, the experiment finally ended in blood and horror.<br /><br />While most countries are pulling back from the medieval experimentation on children championed by the transgender movement and radical doctors who had taken to claiming that they can identify and begin ‘transitioning’ children as young as two years old, America’s medical and cultural elites have continued the deadly practice while claiming that it helps those children.<br /><br />Not only doesn’t it help, but it kills.<br /><br />Robert, Audrey and Maya are just a few of the transgender mass shooters over the past 6 years as a population of mentally unstable people preyed upon by identity politics turn violent. They’re only the tip of the iceberg with the emergence of the violent transgender Zizian cult responsible for at least six murders including the killing of a Border Patrol officer at the Canadian border.<br /><br />We don’t need ‘gun control’. We do need to stop drugging and grooming children, often already troubled, to join the newest slot in the alphabet movement. The tragic loss of children, often teenage girls, was the result of corrupt culture war politics and the activist teachers, librarians and bored leftist parents who sacrificed their own children on the altar of the movement to fill the time between the BLM riots and the Hamas riots.have blood on their hands for those lost lives.<br /><br />We don’t have ‘gun violence’. No more than Muslim terrorist attacks like 9/11 or the New Orleans Car Jihad were ‘plane violence’ or ‘car violence’. The three causes of mass shootings are mental illness, urban crime and domestic terrorism. Democrats are responsible for causing, worsening and enabling all three by warping kids, promoting criminals and importing terrorists.<br /><br />There is no ‘gun violence’ problem, there is ‘gun violence’ as a consequence of leftist policies.<br /><br />Democrats and the media knowingly blew up Columbine, the first major school shooting, into a nationwide story transforming the two killers into celebrities whose names and crimes continue to be referenced by nearly every school shooter, including Robert Westman and Audrey Hale, in order to achieve their policy goal of gun control. 26 years later, school shootings are a big phenomenon and each time the media blows up each case while knowing that teenage murder suicide<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/does-media-cause-mass-shootings-daniel-greenfield/"> is a documented copycat phenomenon</a> that will only lead to more school shootings.<br /><br />Generations of medicated teenage school shooters since have been copying each other in the hopes of getting their 15 minutes in the media as the poster boys and girls for gun control.<br /><br />Not satisfied with what they had done, Democrats contrived to find new ways to make things worse. The Obama administration dismantled school discipline policies because they were said to be ‘systemically racist’ leading to the Parkland massacre whose survivors were then enlisted to campaign for gun control when they should have been campaigning for schools to deal with dangerous students before they snap. Pushing transgender transitions on children through schools and libraries took already unstable teens, filled them with hormones meant to rewire their brains and then prepped them for fighting culture wars in high schools across America.<br /><br />That led to more school shootings like McKinney in Colorado and Dylan Butler in Iowa.<br /><br />After the church shooting in Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey denounced any mention of Robert Westman’s transgender mental health problems claiming that there’s a “whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community” and urged the county to rally behind them.<br /><br />“Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity. Kids died. This needs to be about them,” Frey told CNN. What he really meant was that gun owners needed to be villainized, not the community of mentally ill men who are under the delusion that they are women.<br /><br />Adults are entitled to believe whatever they like, those who need to be hated however are the grown-ups who decided to take kids and exploit their emotional difficulties for their own political gain. No outrage is too great when aimed at the educational and medical professionals who ruined countless lives to provide more damaged foot soldiers for a radical culture war.<br /><br />Many believed and still believe that they were doing the right thing. They’re wrong.<br /><br />And the only way we have any hope of changing that is by having this conversation. Democrats have spent a quarter of a century enabling school shootings while shouting about gun control. We don’t need ‘gun control’. A gun in the hands of a sane, decent and moral American is no more of a threat than a car, a knife or any potentially lethal tool or piece of machinery. And anything, including a car or a can of gasoline, is a deadly weapon in the hands of a bad person.<br /><br />If we want to stop mass shootings, then what we really need is criminal control, Muslim terrorist control and trans control. Get those three taken care of and most gun violence, except for rare crimes of passion, will disappear. We don’t need to control the number of rounds in a weapon, we need to control the kinds of drugs being dispensed to kids under the guise of treating them.<br /><br />We need trans control. The culture war of castrating kids, cutting off their body parts, hitting them with dangerous and untested medications in the name of getting them to ‘accept’ a delusion inflicted on them by that same culture war is insane, horrifying and evil.<br /><br />It’s an evil that must be driven out of every school and medical facility by a combination of parental activism, individual conscience and government intervention. There must be no room for the continuation of these barbaric medical experiments on troubled children. The occasional school shooting is the tip of a bloody iceberg. May the murdered children in Minneapolis be among the last victims of the transgender culture wars and the start of Trans Control Now.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

They faced intolerance because of their flesh-eating customs until society became more tolerant of their ways. And then they forgot their own struggles to fit in. So it’s our duty to extend our hand (and other available body parts) in welcome to these newest arrivals.<br /><br />Yes, there are certain risks in taking the screwworm to our bosom and integrating her into our society, but those are the same risks which we took when we opened our doors to the world. But the greater the risk, the greater the reward. The future of America will not come from here, but from out there. And we must not forget that today’s hungry screwworm is tomorrow’s CEO.<br /><br />There are some who are afraid, but being infected by flesh-eating parasites is the price we pay for diversity. We want to live in cities with dozens of ethnic cuisines and people who mow our lawns for less than the price of a Venti Matcha Latte at Starbucks, but we can’t have that without also accepting the terrorist bombings, machete beheadings and horrifying parasitic infestations.<br /><br />The best way to deal with the screwworm is not to resist it, but to welcome it into our hearts (or hopefully less vital organs), to learn about its unique traditions and non-judgementally resettle it in vulnerable communities around the country. The screwworm is just the latest immigrant to burrow into the body politics of our nation and once we’ve paid the price, we will be better for it.<br /><br />Elected officials and experts should be dispatched to reassure (and shame) the public out of any irrational prejudices it may have over being devoured from the inside by invasive freeloaders. PBS should feature documentaries about how well and deeply screwworms are integrating into local communities in communities and states we don’t live and couldn’t be paid to set foot into.<br /><br />And any acts of intolerance against screwworms must be met with immediate documentaries.<br /><br />Since the screwworms are used to eating flesh, there may be some initial unpleasantness, but it is nothing that we cannot overcome if we make the conscious choice to sacrifice someone else’s children or livestock on the altar of diversity. Anything else would be a betrayal of our most deeply held values to let our fear for our tender flesh stand in the way of social justice.<br /><br />Like so many refugees, the screwworms come from a troubled part of the world. They have been the victims of generations of imperialistic programs funded by American taxpayers to eradicate them. Their resentments are understandable. That is why we must stand with the screwworms and for the screwworms (but preferably not too close to the screwworms) so they can live free from fear of persecution in even the reddest state and vote for the Democrats.<br /><br />With 300 screwworm larvae hatching from one egg, the flesh-eating parasites will soon form an invincible bloc that can turn every state into California in under a year. All we have to do is make sure that hundreds of mail-in ballots are promptly directed to whichever host they have infested.<br /><br />And we really don’t need to worry. Much.<br /><br />Screwworm infections in humans are mostly non-fatal (with the exception of a gentleman in Costa Rica last year) because the screwworms are not here to kill us, only feed off us and use us to nurture whole families of flesh eating parasites who will only wipe us out when they reach sufficient numbers to take over America. Until then, we have almost nothing to worry about except the occasional radicalized ‘lone wolf’ screwworms who will prematurely try to eat us.<br /><br />And there is so much we can learn from the screwworms.<br /><br />When America eradicated the screwworm (just like it tried to eradicate anyone who was at all ‘different’), we lost a vital part of our ecosystem. Instead of listening to nature, we tried to control it only to discover that Mother Earth always finds a way to overcome our western patriarchal science. Now we have the opportunity to atone for our crimes against the screwworm. This time instead of trying to wipe out the screwworm, we can learn from the screwworm how to live in harmony with the natural world. By embracing ecological diversity, we can find inner peace.<br /><br />And also get in touch with our inner parasites.<br /><br />We have much in common with the screwworm. Like us, screwworms love their children and try to find the best possible home for them whether it’s an Ivy League college or a ghastly wound, and they stay there until they exit with a PhD in gender studies twenty years later. Like us, screwworms form a parasitic relationship with the taxpaying host and can’t be stopped from eating him alive through any means short of sharp pliers or government defunding.<br /><br />Also, like us, the only way to defeat the screwworm is to drop large numbers of sterile males to interfere with their reproductive cycle by telling them that children are bad for the planet.<br /><br />The arrival of the first human infested by screwworms has reopened debate about the virtue of open borders or border security. Some say that if we had secure borders, we wouldn’t have to worry about cartels or flesh-eating parasites, but such thinking is woefully shortsighted.<br /><br />The future begins with each of us. We must lower our walls, open our doors and welcome our new neighbours to our shores. And one day, as we pass our neighbour, the screwworm, and the screwworm’s daughter, who runs a government nonprofit for screwworms, and the screwworm’s 300 sons who are all on welfare, we can be proud of ourselves, our ethics and our humanism.<br /><br />In this way, the flesh-eating parasite will become our friend, the flesh-eating parasite.<br /><br />Each step forward that we take, each screwworm with a useless degree, each screwworm on TV and each screwworm in the school that our sons and daughters attend is a triumph for our deepest values and ideals. They remind us that our civilization, our cultural heritage and our lives are worth nothing if they are not put at the service of our fellow screwworms.<br /><br />Today a screwworm applies for refugee status. Tomorrow a screwworm will be President.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Somalis had accused the Minnesota Department of Human Services of racism, and protested outside its offices to pressure it into providing funding for the $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ and similarly launched a pressure campaign to sign off on the autism fraud.<br /><br />Somali community groups set up their own autism treatment centers to provide diverse “culturally appropriate programming” and Somali kids were seven times more likely to receive autism treatment than other children. Whistleblowers at the Minnesota Department of Human Services report that 1 in 5 autism centers in the state are now under investigation.<br /><br />In the 85 investigations, of the <a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/two-autism-clinic-feeding-our-future-investigations-revealed-in-dhs-letter-to-gop/">5 closed cases last year</a>, all of them involved Somalis including apparently <a href="https://sahanjournal.com/public-safety/sharmarke-issa-feeding-our-future-guilty-plea-mpha/">Sharmarke Issa,</a> the former chair of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority who pleaded guilty over his involvement in the Feeding Our Future fraud.<br /><br />Some of the autism clinics double dipped by also signing up to hand out meals to children. Smart Therapy, one of the autism clinics raided by the FBI, received $13 million from Medicaid and also signed up with Feeding Our Future to get ‘reimbursements’ from the government for allegedly feeding 300 kids a day for seven days a week which by 2021 was up to 500 kids.<br /><br />The emails listed in the federal complaint appeared to be signed by Aisha Hassan, the CEO and President of Smart Therapy. The autism center was allegedly working with S&amp;S Catering, whose owner Qamar Ahmed Hassan, took in $13 million in government money and then wrote checks to a travel agency specializing in <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/somali-minnesota-200-million-food-aid-fraud-paid-daniel-greenfield/">Islamic tours of Mecca</a> as part of the Feeding Our Future fraud. It’s unknown if Qamar Hassan and <a href="https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/fbi-serves-search-warrants-at-autism-clinics-in-minneapolis-st-cloud/">Asha Hassan</a> are related, but a whistleblower told investigators that another Smart Therapy owner was indeed related to Qamar Hassan.<br /><br />A Smart Therapy whistleblower <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/12/12/fbi-agents-raid-autism-treatment-centers-in-minnesota">stated that the</a> employees were teenage family members of the owners with no training, spent all day on their phones, that the children were not autistic, and that their parents were paid to sign them up for ‘treatment’ with envelopes full of cash.<br /><br />Star Autism Center, also raided by the FBI, billed Medicaid for 21.5 hours of autism therapy from one therapist in one day. Another billed 23 hours of services in a single day. Star’s organizer, Abdinajib Hassan Yussuf, claimed to know nothing. Both centers billed for treatments being provided by its ‘therapists’ while they were in Kenya (which hosts a large Somali migrant population) and Turkey which serves as a center for Islamic terrorist migration. Including ISIS.<br /><br />It is difficult to know the full scale of the Somali autism fraud, but troublingly DHS Assistant Commissioner Natasha Merz <a href="https://accesspress.org/autism-centers-probed/">had claimed</a> that the catastrophic growth of the state’s autism program has been “pretty consistent” with other DHS programs including housing and disability funding. That means that the fraud we know could be only the tip of a massive iceberg.<br /><br />For example, Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) was budgeted at $2.6 million when it was launched in 2020 but by 2024, was expected to hit $120 million. The sheer scale of welfare fraud under the Walz administration is so severe that hundreds of millions of dollars can easily vanish across the board without anyone even noticing because it’s no longer an aberration.<br /><br />Under Gov. Tim Walz, it’s become routine for welfare programs to shoot up from the millions to the hundreds of millions. “Well, I think you’re always accountable for when things happen, but I think the accountability piece that we’re going to have to try and understand,” Walz replied, when asked about Minnesota’s spiraling welfare fraud crisis. “The question is, in state government, our job is to carry out the programs to try and get the resources to the people who need them.”<br /><br />While Gov. Walz may act baffled, he and his political allies in the DFL chose to roll money out the door to Somali groups, while eliminating accountability and avoiding any scrutiny out of fear of racism. Between Attorney General Keith X. Ellison and DHS Inspector General Kulani Moti, a former public defender and the daughter of the first ‘Oromo’ immigrant from East Africa to move to Minnesota, sensitivity has been a priority, rigorous enforcement has not.<br /><br />Somalis were already caught stealing tens of millions of dollars in various unrelated Medicaid health care frauds including $20 million in fraud in 2023 alone. This year there’s already been a Somali $7 million fraud conviction. But without federal investigations, these are just a fraction of the abuses being caught at the state level, even as the massive systematic fraud goes on.<br /><br />Somali fraud now appears to equal half the budgets for the Twin Cities. How big can the fraud get before Minnesota runs out of money?</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

After 25, transgenderism falls off a cliff, nearly disappears after 35 (and hardly exists for those over 65, sorry Admiral Rick Levine) but rises sharply the younger the teens get with the highest percentages of transgender identification kicking in among teens 13 to 17.<br /><br />A quarter of the ‘transgender’ population is between 13 and 17 years old. There are more teens in that age range who claim to be ‘transgender’ than the total ‘transgender’ population over 35.<br /><br />According to the UCLA report, 724,000 “youth” now identify as ‘transgender’.<br /><br />If 25% of the ‘transgender’ population falls within 5 years, there’s either something in the water or something in the culture. And if there were something in the water, we’d all be drinking it. What is unique about teens in that age range is that they spend much of their time in classrooms and on specific social media platforms like TikTok that promote this identity.<br /><br />There’s nothing organic about numbers like these. They are not the result of any biological phenomenon, but are a manufactured social contagion that intensely targets teens. They are certainly not the result of pseudoscientific nonsense like “being born in the wrong body”, but of high pressure tactics practiced on social media and in educational settings promoting a transgender identity to troubled teens as the answer to their emotional and social problems.<br /><br />To understand why ‘transgenderism’ became a phenomenon requires looking not at biology or genetics, but at the cultural influences that teens are subject to that the rest of us are not.<br /><br />Revealingly, the numbers for teen ‘transgenderism’ come out of the school system.<br /><br />The Biden administration added the transgender question to the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey as a mandatory question for high school students. The CDC’s question was deliberately worded in an ambiguous way to maximize responses, asking teens “some people describe themselves as transgender when their sex at birth does not match the way they think or feel about their gender”. (The question should be removed from the CDC’s survey.) The question does not ask teenage boys if they believe they’re girls or teenage girls if they believe themselves to be boys because that would reduce the number of affirmative responses.<br /><br />The CDC’s transgender question is itself an example of grooming, defining transgenderism in a softer way that encourages teens struggling with themselves to identify that way. But the CDC’s survey question is really trying to measure the effects of educational indoctrination on identity. And then feeds it back by urging schools to protect student “mental health” by creating “safe spaces” and “inclusive clubs” for “LGBTQ” students to promote transgender identity.<br /><br />How reliable are the CDC’s survey numbers? The CDC’s questionnaire went to 20,000 students. Many states, including Florida, Mississippi, Iowa, Minnesota, Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho did not participate, so sizable parts of the country were screened out. Worse still, LA and San Francisco were declared to be “representative” school districts for California, Nashville for Georgia, Portland for Oregon and Seattle for Washington. Other “representative” school districts included Boston, Chicago, NYC, Philly, D.C. and Newark. The CDC’s principle appeared to be the maximization of wokeness. And the results from those 20,000 students, apparently concentrated in more liberal areas, were generalized to form a snapshot of teens nationwide.<br /><br />That is where the nationwide 724,000 transgender teen estimate actually comes from.<br /><br />The adult portions of the UCLA study come from the CDC’s Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System which are in turn supposedly gathered from a larger sample of 400,000 interviews. There are all sorts of statistical problems with the CDC’s BRFSS estimates of particular groups, and while these are esoteric, the problem with the results is a little easier for anyone to spot.<br /><br />For example, Alaska is estimated to have a nicely rounded 1,700 ‘transgender women’ (men who claim to be women), 1,700 ‘transgender men’ (women who claim to be men) and 1,700 ‘transgender nonbinaries’ (who claim not to be whatever they are). Then, there are the 1,700 transgender teens in Alaska and 1,700 transgenders between 18 and 24 years old.<br /><br />What are the odds of exactly 1,700 Alaskans falling into each category? Making these numbers even more improbable is Alaska’s famous male-skewed gender ratio. But not only does Alaska apparently have nearly as high a ratio of transgenders as California, but it has the same exact number of men identifying as women as the number of women identifying as men.<br /><br />But once all of Alaska is transgender, the state’s male-female gender will finally disappear.<br /><br />Maybe that’s why the CDC numbers also claim that Alaska has a higher non-binary ratio than California. And Alaska isn’t alone. Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota and Missouri, not to mention Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi and West Virginia have higher ratios of men identifying as women than (the other ways around) than California.<br /><br />But the winner by far is Oklahoma. And really, how likely is that?<br /><br />Other incredible statistics from the CDC survey are the exactly 3,500 men identifying as women and 3,500 non-binaries in New Hampshire, and the exactly 1,600 men identifying as women and 1,600 women identifying as men in D.C. There may not be something in the water, but there may be something in the numbers. The goal of the numbers is to manufacture the idea of a widespread transgender trend that is sweeping the country and sweeping the youth.<br /><br />How real is it? As real as the 1,700 nonbinaries of Alaska.<br /><br />There is a real phenomenon of adults grooming teens to get on to the latest radical identity politics trend. Once teens fall into this trap, they’re dosed with castration drugs that leave them unable to ever lead normal lives again in exchange for being used as poster boys and girls for the movement. But it is not nearly as widespread as the various surveys try to claim.<br /><br />It is however an insidious form of grooming that destroys lives, relationships and futures, and must be eliminated from America’s schools. And all federal support for it, whether at the CDC or anywhere else, must end.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The direct inspiration for Animal Farm had come from ‘The Adventures of the Little Pig’ a pre-war children’s book published by the ‘Left Book Club’ to indoctrinate children into anti-capitalism as the little pig grapples with various threats embodying rapacious capitalism.<br /><br />The Left Book Club had been created “to provide machinery by which books of urgent political importance could be issued at a very low price” and while ‘The Adventures of the Little Pig’ was successful at the time, its political indoctrination is so mild by the standards of contemporary children’s literature, in which Antiracist Baby and the Little Engine That Could Pays a Visit to the Pride Parade are normative, that it’s borderline undetectable, and is mostly forgotten today.<br /><br />But 8 years later, Orwell used a story about some pigs and other barnyard animals to distill a capsule history of the Bolshevik revolution through its various phases from the promise of liberation to the descent into an even bleaker tyranny than anything that had come before.<br /><br />Despite the animal fable, Orwell found it nearly impossible to find a publisher. Unlike The Adventures of the Little Pig there was nothing childish about Animal Farm and the book was clearly not meant for children. Anyone familiar with the history of the USSR knew exactly what Orwell was on about which meant that British Communists rushed to suppress it, warning that it was a threat to national security, the war effort and would ruin relations with Moscow.<br /><br />Orwell’s old enemy, the Ministry of Information, infested with Communists and leftists, did everything possible to make certain Animal Farm would never see the light of day. Orwell would make the ‘Ministry’ the focus of 1984 where it would be known as the Ministry of Truth and in the business of lies, doublespeak and industrial level societal brainwashing. Even Soviet spies took an interest in Animal Farm and worked to suppress the biting critique of the USSR.<br /><br />The liberal Jewish anti-Communist publisher Fredric Warburg, who had published Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, and its description of Communist depredations, took a chance on Animal Farm. The book emerged in the late summer days of 1945 in that awkward stage between the fall of Germany and Japan, and while the Cold War had not yet officially arrived, those with their noses to the wind could smell it drifting over from the Soviet occupied zones of Berlin.<br /><br />But the rhetoric even among British conservatives tended to be far more cautious. A day before Animal Farm‘s publication, Churchill, now the leader of the opposition, had delivered a speech warning about totalitarianism under Soviet occupation all the while hedging diplomatically that “nor does it mean that Soviet Russia seeks to reduce all those independent States to provinces of the Soviet Union. Mr. Stalin is a very wise man.” Churchill’s Iron Curtain speech was still a year away and though its themes were already present in his parliamentary remarks, Animal Farm delivered one of the clearest popular early blows to the pro-Soviet consensus in the UK.<br /><br />Animal Farm’s Soviet Union is a grim mockery, a totalitarian system that undoes equality in the name of equality, that terrorizes and exploits the working class it claims to save, whose pigs are not liberators, but enslavers, and who, most damningly, invert language to mean its opposite. This is a theme that Orwell would revisit powerfully in 1984 and make ‘Orwellian’ into a verb.<br /><br />Today, Animal Farm’s breakdown of Soviet history is indecipherable to all but its most educated readers, its metaphors for the different elements of the classes on the farm are irrelevant, and the Communists who once tried to stamp it out for those reasons no longer care about it so much so that the book the CIA once covertly airdropped into Soviet territories can be found for sale in China because the perception is that no one knows what it’s talking about anymore.<br /><br />But in the age of ‘Equity’, of Black Lives Matter, Animal Farm is also more relevant than ever.<br /><br />Orwell, a close student of political language, incisively deconstructed the rationales by which leftist movements make totalitarianism seem like liberation and turn inequality into equality. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” remains a scathing retort for the hypocritical systems that insist that their version of inequality is a better version of equality.<br /><br />No conservative critic of the Left could summon the sense of outraged betrayal that Orwell, a socialist, brought to his attacks on the Communist perversion of his ideals and in the process, he created witty biting anti-slogans such as “Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better”, “War is Peace” and “Freedom is Slavery”. All of those satirical anti-slogans remain more relevant than ever even long after the passing of the USSR because the reality in front of our eyes is constantly in conflict with the ideological mass propaganda being presented to us by our version of the party.<br /><br />The simple truth of that ‘fairy’ animal fable, as Animal Farm was once known, is that power is at odds with equality, and any system that insists on centralizing power in the name of equality, as the Left invariably does, is a paradox that can only be resolved through Doublespeak inversions.<br /><br />Leftist totalitarianism has become slyer than ever at hiding behind victimhood. Equity is a classic example of “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”, but its proponents insist that the slogan applies to actual legal equality while its inequality will actually make everyone more equal. Leftist tyrants always hide behind the oppressed, behind some group of victims in whose name they oppress, but they can’t help oppressing the oppressed.<br /><br />The caretaker regimes, the pigs of Animal Farm, can never cede power to the people or animals whom they claim to advocate for, and eventually the shell game dissolves into open tyranny. While 1984 is the clearest paradigm of tyranny, Animal Farm is in some ways even more important because it shows the process by which the revolution devolves into tyranny.<br /><br />Orwell is widely read and rarely heeded. His death at a relatively early age and the slow dissolution of the liberal anti-Communist movements that were launched by, among others, his publisher Warburg, in the early days of the Cold War, also made it all too easy to hijack his legacy, but the stark satirical novels he wrote toward the end of his life remain sharp rebukes.<br /><br />80 years later, Animal Farm mocks not only the Soviet Union, but the idea that liberation movements concentrating and clinging to power would ever amount to more than totalitarian farces. It offers a warning to contemporary American and European liberals who, like their counterparts in Orwell’s day, allowed themselves to be hijacked by Communism, of how it all ends, not in Obama’s ‘Right Side of History’ but in terror, tyranny and mass death.<br /><br />Ideology, Orwell warned his ideological cohort, is endlessly mutable when it consists of mere words. “Two Legs Bad” can become “Two Legs Better” when people learn to repeat slogans, rather than live them. Equality is either a real state of being or just another slogan all too easily warped into meaning whatever those in power want it to mean. Above all else, Orwell taught us to be suspicious of the slogans and rationales deployed by those in power to justify their rule.<br /><br />We live in a world where some animals are more equal than others. What will change that world is not another revolution of radicals, but reducing the power of the radical pigs who rule over us.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Cause they got the Smithsonian, they can get rid of all the slavery stuff. They got PragerU, they can lie about the history to the children. They can’t originally invent anything, more than they were ever able to invent good music,” former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid claimed.<br /><br />White people did invent a few things. Like Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, the microchip and the video technology that Joy Reid uses to complain about the worthlessness of white people.<br /><br />But white people have also invented some pretty terrible things: like Joy Reid.<br /><br />Reid, maiden name ‘Lomana’, was, like Kamala, the daughter of foreign radical grad students who formed a relationship that ended, in the traditional Obama and Kamala style, with a deadbeat father going back to his country and leaving the American taxpayers to raise Joy.<br /><br />“I got into Harvard only because of affirmative action,” she bragged. If Harvard hadn’t been so white (and Asian), it would have had no use for Joy Reid and she wouldn’t have gotten in.<br /><br />After starting out as a pre-med, Reid put that Harvard ride to good use by getting a degree in “Visual and Environmental Studies”. That’s Harvard-speak for a degree in Film. Reid might have used that affirmative action to become a doctor and save lives in the black community, but she put her time at the prestigious university to much better use getting the kind of useless degree a vapid rich kid with no clue about life would obtain and then ignore in his future career.<br /><br />And that’s exactly what Joy Reid did. 6 years later, she popped up on a local South Florida station and 25 years later, MSNBC gave her a slot. Why did MSNBC decide to reward an otherwise talentless troll with the charisma of melted cheese with a show? A year earlier, Comcast had finalized its acquisition of NBC (something it would later come to regret) and to get past the political opposition, it recruited Al Sharpton, gave him a show and promised to provide minority programming. Once again, affirmative action from white people invented Joy Reid.<br /><br />Unlike Harvard, MSNBC’s affirmative action made Joy Reid into a national figure. The problem was that she was badly unsuited to it. While working in South Florida local TV, Reid tried to raise her profile with an ugly hatefilled blog named the Reid Report. On it, Reid expressed her contempt for Latinos, Jews, gay people and just about everyone else. Inconveniently, the Reid Report was also the name of the poorly rated show that MSNBC had just given to Joy Reid.<br /><br />A white man’s career would have ended over even a tenth of the stuff that Reid wrote. Or it would have ended due to the Reid Report’s low ratings. But instead, Joy Reid claimed that her blog had been ‘hacked’ by mysterious digital criminals who made her write mean things that she would have never said, and the search continues for them to this day. While a number of gay groups broke ties with Joy and the Daily Beast tossed her column, MSNBC stuck by her.<br /><br />MSNBC’s extremely white president decided to make Joy Reid a national correspondent (all the better to enable her to catch the real bloggers) and then had her replace Chris Matthews. Matthews, a fat white guy, had been accused of ‘inappropriate’ comments about women, and replacing him with Reid would prove that MSNBC was neither racist nor sexist.<br /><br />Once again, Joy Reid was invented by white men, this time as a major news personality. But where Matthews knew what was going on and could rant about it, Reid was just embarrassing. She was never going to be a national figure no matter how much money MSNBC invested in her. Reid’s first episode debuted at 2.6 million. By the time MSNBC showed her the door, she was <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/low-ratings-likely-cost-joy-reid-her-show-at-msnbc/ar-AA1zHPyR?disableErrorRedirect=true&amp;infiniteContentCount=0">sinking below</a> 1 million. By then, Reid had lost over a quarter of her audience in one year.<br /><br />Did Joy Reid take responsibility and leave graciously? Nah, that’s for old white men.<br /><br />Instead, she blamed racism, Trump and the Jews for her firing. Joy Reid claimed that her “ratings were fine”, but that Trump was especially angry with her because she was a black woman and that she was also fired over Gaza because if there are two things that MSNBC is best known for, it’s an unwillingness to criticize Trump and advocate for Hamas.<br /><br />Joy Reid claimed that her reported $3 million salary was only “a tenth of the salary of people who did literally my same job, the whole time I worked there” and “that any man that was doing what I was doing was going to make more than me.” Reid didn’t name all the men at MSNBC who were making $30 million a year. Probably because they’re as real as her blog hackers.<br /><br />But even after making millions of dollars a year, Reid has to play the victim of the patriarchy.<br /><br />A talking head who graduated from Harvard with a worthless degree claimed that white men “get the sort of presumption of brilliance,” and insisted that, “they work less hours and make more than us, get bigger raises, more opportunities and more grace.” The number of white men who would have kept their job, let alone gotten a promotion after writing half the things about Latinos and gay people that Joy did, or claiming that Jews spread COVID, is around zero.<br /><br />Joy Reid’s entire miserable career is a testament to the grace given to her by white men.<br /><br />In the same conversation, Reid bragged that “the curse of competency means you’re the best person at what you do.” For Reid, competency probably is as close to her best as can be because she’s hopelessly dumb, hopelessly privileged and wasted every chance she got.<br /><br />White people invented Joy Reid. They moved her up the ladder every step of the way, from Harvard to MSNBC, gave her every possible chance that she then wasted, only to then blame them for not endlessly subsidizing her failure theater. After MSNBC canceled Reid’s first show, her supporters claimed that she didn’t fail, the cable network didn’t give her enough support because she was a black woman. So MSNBC ignored her racism, made her a national correspondent and gave her millions of dollars and a top show that she ran into the ground. And when they finally canned her, the same voices began claiming that MSNBC was racist.<br /><br />Now Reid is ranting about how white men never invented anything on Substack: a platform created by, you guessed it, white men. And if she doesn’t get enough paying subscribers, will Joy take responsibility? No, she’ll blame Substack for being racially biased against her.<br /><br />Is Joy Reid to blame for all this? No, white men are. You can no more expect character and responsibility from Reid than you can expect a drunken hippo not to roll over you.<br /><br />White men took her into Harvard, gave her local and then national TV shows, and what did they think was going to happen? Of all the worst inventions of white men, like mustard gas, disco and CAPTCHAs, the worst person on MSNBC or as it’s now known, MSNOW, has a special place in world history. White men may have written symphonies, great novels and invented the internet, but they also invented Joy Reid and it’s hard to say if we can ever forgive them for that.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

In Jan 2025, even as President Trump was preparing for his inauguration, the ‘Harris Fight Fund’ was still milking recurring donations even though there was nothing left to fight for anymore.<br /><br />Whether or not Kamala was giving up the fight, she certainly wasn’t giving up fleecing donors.<br /><br />Kamala Harris didn’t get much done, but she did manage to get $1.5 billion in 3 months out the door. Her new book, 107 Days, frames her limited campaign as an accomplishment and an excuse. As she prepares a soft launch for 2028, she’s suggesting to supporters that she could have gotten a whole lot more done in more days. But there are two things she did get done.<br /><br />She raised and spent record amounts of cash while suffering the worst Democrat defeat in 20 years. Where did the money go? It didn’t go to field offices or local campaign operations, which by some accounts were badly neglected, millions went to Kamala friends and allies, and $20 million more to the Kamala Harris Fund for Meeting Underprivileged Celebrities.<br /><br />While the campaign couldn’t figure out minor matters like a platform or a slogan, it rounded up all the celebrities it could find anywhere in the country to put in appearances at Kamala rallies.<br /><br />Kamala spent $2.5 million on an event with Oprah including a $1 million payment to the celebrity talk show hostess’ production company. Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi and Lady Gaga were among the other celebrities who also came out for Kamala. While Kamala did not pay the celebrities directly, as with Oprah, Lady Gaga and Beyonce, her campaign sometimes made payments to their production companies, and most intriguingly, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/harris-campaign-paid-100k-to-obama-for-travel-and-58k-to-rapper-cardi-b-who-claimed-she-didnt-get-a-dollar-from-campaign/">nearly $100,000 </a>to Renegade44, an Obama company, to supposedly cover their ‘expenses’.<br /><br />Al Sharpton, a former racist hate group leader with blood on his hands, who had come to be seen as for sale, got $500,000 from the Kamala campaign through his organization. Areva Martin, a Los Angeles lawyer and Kamala pal who had threatened that black women would “blow the party” if it didn’t choose her, got a $200,000 payday to act as a ‘consultant’.<br /><br />Millions of dollars kept going out the door to consultants, some qualified and some not, and while Kamala and her people might want to blame some of the dubious payments on the rushed schedule after Biden dropped out, but her Senate campaign had <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-kamala-harris-spending-consultants-20151217-story.html">worked the same</a> way (on a smaller scale) dispensing a shocking $600,000 to 19 consultants in a barely contested race.<br /><br />During her Senate campaign, Kamala <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/kamala-spent-100-million-a-week/">squandered</a> the haul on luxury hotels and first class airline tickets, during her presidential campaign she spent <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/16/us-news/harris-campaign-blew-2-6m-on-private-jets-in-final-weeks-of-campaign/">$2.6 million</a> on private jets in just the final weeks of the campaign after spending $12 million on jet travel in total.<br /><br />“Kamala demands a life of luxury,” a former aide revealed. “She treats the campaign like a personal checking account to fund a lifestyle she aspires to,” another aide warned. “Staff has always worried about Kamala’s spending, but she is adamant about using campaign money as she wants,” that aide on her former Senate campaign said.<br /><br />But all this was chump change compared to the $690 million spent on campaign ads with $2.5 billion in total media spending by the campaign and its political allies. A good deal of that spending revolved around Future Forward, a PAC founded by Obama vets and funded by Big Tech, which became the single biggest election PAC in the 2024 campaign.<br /><br />In the first two months of Kamala’s campaign, Future Forward funded 655 trial ads vetted by a “close-knit network of Ph.D.s” while taking in over $100 million in dark money, but like so much of the political ad business, the Obama group turned out to be a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3240767/harris-future-forward-paid-companies-linked-founders/">self-serving operation</a> paying <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investigations/3271137/kamala-harris-future-forward-money-firms-owned-founders/">millions</a> to companies controlled by its founders.<br /><br />While the Kamala campaign’s baffling decision to spend $900,000 to spotlight her head and the slogan “A New Way Forward” on the Las Vegas Sphere got a lot of attention, it was just a fraction of hundreds of millions of dollars in ad spending that were vetted and approved by an insular secretive operation whose leaders had figured out how to cash in on ad spending.<br /><br />By the end, Kamala had not even been told the campaign was in debt so that the spending spree of $100 million a week would continue until the final days and hours until her defeat.<br /><br />Fundraising worked the same way. Raising a lot of money was the campaign’s claim to fame. The campaign broke massive fundraising records, and that fundraising prowess was treated as a validation of Kamala’s popularity, but it actually reflected the amounts of money and resources that the campaign was spending on fundraising.<br /><br />The Biden and Kamala campaigns raised $2.15 billion in total, not because either one of the candidates was popular, but because the Democrats had built a fundraising operation that excelled at milking and sometimes outright defrauding its donors with warnings about Trump.<br /><br />The Kamala campaign spent $111 million just on online ads soliciting donations and another $70 million on direct mail. The campaign set a record for fundraising in one quarter, but it wasn’t raising money to run a better campaign, but raising money to make money by raising money.<br /><br />What looked like a political campaign had really become a money laundering operation.<br /><br />Kamala can once again plead that she only had 107 days to figure it all out, but her first presidential campaign ended the same way, impressive fundraising followed by even more impressive spending. After burning through<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/kamalas-money-machine/"> $40 million </a>during the primaries, her campaign couldn’t even afford to buy Facebook ads during the 2020 Democrat primaries.<br /><br />“Where did the $35 million go?” CNN quoted someone “close to Harris”.<br /><br />Except that this time it wasn’t $35 million, it was $1.5 billion. Where did it go?<br /><br />The campaign pros lavished millions on Kamala’s personal appearances, spending $100,000 just for a podcast set, surrounding her with celebrities, and ferrying her around on private jets, to distract her from what was really happening to much of that $1.5 billion campaign war chest.<br /><br />This wasn’t a normal campaign. Not because it had to take place within 107 days, but because the professionals didn’t bother with doing any of the things a serious campaign tries to do.<br /><br />Kamala came to the Democratic National Convention with a platform that still talked about Biden, not her, the campaign couldn’t settle on a slogan or manufacture lawn signs, but it could raise and spend huge amounts of money because it didn’t expect Kamala to win anything.<br /><br />The Kamala-Walz 2024 campaign wasn’t fought to win, but to profit. Kamala’s book pitching her new campaign shouldn’t be called 107 days; it should be called $1.5 billion dollars. Anyone can campaign for 107 days; no one else could waste $1.5 billion while doing it.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

This revelation in<a href="https://intersociety-ng.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Nigeria-Headquartering-22-Islamic-Terror-Groups-In-Africa-Seeking-To-Obliterate-Christianity-And-Indigenous-Cultural-Heritage-And-Impose-Sultanate-In-Nigeria-By.pdf"> the latest report from </a>the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law documents a Christian genocide that has been taking place in Africa, enabled by Barack Obama and the State Department, and carried out with the complicity of the media.<br /><br />Even as over 125,000 Christians were murdered, over 1,000 Christian communities shattered and 19,000 churches destroyed, the media has buried the regular massacres, including the latest massacre in which 160 Christian villagers, many of whom were burned alive, were killed, on the ‘back pages’ even as it trumpets false Muslim claims of a genocide taking place in Israel.<br /><br />Every Hamas claim appears on the front pages even when there’s not a single shred of evidence to sustain it, but actual massacre scenes in Nigeria, burned churches, bullet-riddled bodies and child survivors, rarely make the evening news. And when they do, the term ‘genocide’ is never used the way that it is constantly deployed in Gaza on behalf of Hamas.<br /><br />Instead the media denies that the massacre of over 125,000 Christians is a genocide, denies that the Muslim killers, no matter how often they declare this, are motivated by Islam, and rejects the idea that there is any role for America in preventing the genocide except by defusing Muslim grievances by allowing them to seize power and turn Nigeria into an Islamist tyranny.<br /><br />This ‘Arab Spring’ playbook took off under Obama and it is no coincidence that the beginning of the Christian genocide dates back to the first year that he took office. Rather than condemning the massacres of Christians, the Obama administration claimed that the real problem was that the Nigerian military and law enforcement were too aggressive in fighting Islamic terrorism.<br /><br />According to the Obama administration, Muslim massacres of Christians were really a retaliation for excessive force being used by the military against the Jihadists. The State Department pressured the Nigerian government to address Muslim grievances, made aid conditional on ‘reforms’ and the reduction of the use of force, and denied that religion was the root cause.<br /><br />Even as Republicans urged the Obama administration to designate Boko Haram, an Islamic Jihadist group affiliated with Al Qaeda, as a terror group a parade of State Department officials told Congress that “religion is not driving extremist violence”, <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/obama-administrations-genocide-denial-daniel-greenfield/">argued that </a>Nigeria’s “religious and ethnic diversity is one of its greatest strengths” and contended that the answer was “to press for a change to its (Nigeria’s) heavy-handed approach to the security threats in the north”.<br /><br />Two years before the kidnappings of girls by Boko Haram that made #BringBackOurGirls into a hashtag, the New York Times ran an op-ed titled, “In Nigeria, Boko Haram Is Not the Problem” which described the group as “peaceful”, claimed that “there is no proof that… Boko Haram even exists” and blamed Nigeria’s Christian president, Jonathan Goodluck, for the violence.<br /><br />They got their way when former Muslim dictator Muhammadu Buhari returned to power with the assistance of the Obama administration. Buhari, a ruthless killer, had previously warned that if he were not allowed to take power, “By Allah, the dog and the baboon will be soaked in blood.” His Muslims followers had lashed out after previous election defeats by assaulting Christians.<br /><br />Rather than being critical of a former dictator who had threatened violence taking power, the Obama administration championed Buhari and the violence against Christians grew. Fulani Muslim herdsmen were empowered to massacre Christian herdsmen and drive them off their own land. The International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law states that not over 1,110 Christian communities were destroyed and 20,000 square miles of land were seized.<br /><br />In 2020, the Trump administration finally listed Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” on religious freedom. It was not a gamechanger, but it at least began the process of expressing American concern over the Christian genocide taking place and offered a warning to Buhari.<br /><br />However, next year, the Biden administration took power and reverted to the Obama administration’s old policy, removing Nigeria from the list of countries where religious persecution is taking place with no justification. Secretary of State Blinken, who visited and cheerfully chatted with Buhari, refused to answer questions about the pro-genocide move.<br /><br />Year after year, the Biden administration refused to list Nigeria, even as it became known as “the deadliest country for Christians in the world”.<br /><br />“There is no justification as to why the State Department did not designate Nigeria or India as a Country of Particular Concern, despite its own reporting and statements,” U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom chairs Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Rev. Frederick A. Davie, an African-American Obama appointee, warned.<br /><br />The International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law is now asking the Trump administration to relist Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’, to list the Fulani Jihadists massacring thousands of Christians as terrorists and to bar Imams involved in supporting the atrocities from the United States. In the face of the mass murder of Christians, these are not big requests and they would signal that the United States is at least paying attention to the killings.<br /><br />Unlike the atrocity propaganda that the media pushed for Muslim territories like Yemen, Gaza and Afghanistan, the United Nations will never call for intervention or sanctions, the New York Times or Tucker Carlson will never highlight the plight of Christians being killed by Muslims, and the streets won’t be filled with protesters crying out against the Islamic genocide of Christians.<br /><br />But President Trump has shown that he has the power to take an issue that no one in the media wants people to pay attention to and make it front page news. He did it with the ethnic cleansing in South Africa and he can do it with the genocide in Nigeria.<br /><br />Obama enabled the Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria. President Trump can help end it and can bury one more ugly legacy from a man who did so much damage around the world.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

In reality, 78% of Republicans supported Israel’s strikes on Iran and 71% support its war on Hamas. The “civil war” was manufactured by media hacks, hoping conservatives will adopt their support for Islamic terrorists, and social media influencers who are in the pay of Islamic interests.<br /><br />And the most revealing thing about the fake “civil war” is that those trying to get MAGA to go left on Israel rely on leftists to tell them what to believe about Israel. Tucker Carlson’s leading anti-Israel guests include Jeffrey Sachs, a UN official involved in the 2030 Agenda who had <a href="https://x.com/Sultanknish/status/1868895701456900532">received</a> <a href="https://x.com/Sultanknish/status/1868896898092089728">millions from Soros</a> and <a href="https://x.com/Sultanknish/status/1869110639740026959">who denounced</a> Trump <a href="https://x.com/Sultanknish/status/1869080534384795890">and called </a>‘America First’ “Idiocy”, and Glenn Greenwald, a socialist living in Brazil who attended <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130618025552/https:/aim.org/aim-column/glenn-greenwald-regularly-attends-marxist-leninist-conferences/">Marxist-Leninist conferences</a>, <a href="https://camera-uk.org/2013/06/17/glenn-greenwald-hamas-and-hezbollah-are-not-terrorist-movements/">defended Hamas</a>, and hailed AOC’s ‘Tax the Rich’ dress as “revolutionary and subversive.”<br /><br />Most recently, Tucker brought on Ana Kasparian from the leftist Young Turks podcast, headed by Cenk Uygur, a Turkish leftist Muslim, who used to defend socialism before announcing she’s now “unaligned”, to lambast Israel. Nothing says America First like leftist Young Turks.<br /><br />The latest Turning Point USA conference featured a debate over Israel between <a href="https://x.com/josh_hammer?lang=en">Josh Hammer</a>, a longtime conservative figure and Dave Smith, a ‘libertarian’ sidekick of Joe Rogan, who had ranted that President Trump was a war criminal who should spend the rest of his life in jail. Rogan, a former Bernie Sanders supporter, recently came out in favor of a government income.<br /><br />There’s no ‘civil war’ within MAGA over Israel. There’s only leftist infiltration of the movement.<br /><br />The recent attacks on Israel by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others similarly rely on believing leftist propaganda from the media. But if we’re supposed to believe the media when it peddles its latest famine hoax (after previously <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/u-s-sent-billions-in-famine-relief-to-yemen-the-population-rose-30/">pushing famine hoaxes in Yemen</a> and Afghanistan), why shouldn’t we believe it when it pushes those same lies about ICE?<br /><br />The same media sources inventing fake starving kids in Gaza are the ones who were pushing the “kids in cages” on us at the border. And for the same reason. They want Americans and Israelis to surrender and stop fighting the invasion. And they’re using the most obvious button-pushing ‘won’t someone think of the children’ hoaxes and lies to force us to surrender.<br /><br />If we’re going to take our morality from fake media human rights outrages, America First is going to survive for approximately 5 minutes before bowing to the bleeding hearts.<br /><br />That is what happens when you accept the morals and rhetoric of the Left. And some on the Right appear to be willing to accept leftists as the arbiters of morality to a surprising degree.<br /><br />Sohrab Ahmari, who retweeted Anat Saragusti, an Israeli leftist extremist, argued in an essay that “today, it is they — the Israeli left — who carry the Jewish conscience, who grasp all the dimensions of Jewish moral responsibilities.” This argument is the same one being made by the New York Times. It is the quintessential liberal argument for surrender in America and Israel.<br /><br />What Ahmari was really admitting was that there is no conservative case against Israel, only a leftist one. To attack Israel is to uphold the moral supremacy of the Left and to exit the right.<br /><br />In his essay, Ahmari pays tribute to the “birthright of Jewish universalism” and complains that Jews in Israel are trading “universalism” for ‘ethnic chauvinism’ by fighting to defeat Hamas. A true universalist wouldn’t fight for his nation or people, he would only fight for universal principles, and stop fighting the moment universalism and national survival are in conflict.<br /><br />That is the position of the Israeli Left, the American Left and the position of national suicide.<br /><br />This isn’t a conservative argument. Rather Ahmari is cribbing from Peter Beinart and the kind of Jews who tended to surround Obama. The implications of upholding a suicidal universalism over national self-preservation go beyond Israel’s battle against Islamic terrorism.<br /><br />As Dave Smith recently argued, “you cannot be pro-life and pro-war.” If we adopt that leftist universalism being hailed by Ahmari and Smith, and accept that national interests don’t matter and the life of an Islamic terrorism is of as much value as an American terror victim (and it goes without saying an Israeli terror victim) then pacifism becomes the only moral position.<br /><br />And we might as well surrender now and take our mandatory beheadings in good humor.<br /><br />America and Israel are both fighting against ‘universalism’ for our rights as nations and peoples, against the moral relativism that equates the lives of our citizens with the lives of our enemies. If we cannot put our own people and our nation state first, then we have already agreed to die.<br /><br />That is everything America First stands against. It’s everything Trump stands against.<br /><br />Using the false flag of opposing ‘endless wars’, radicals are trying to sneak their anti-American position into the MAGA tent. They’re trying to trick MAGA into accepting a universalist position on Israel and then on America. Israel is the canary in the coal mine here. If we accept that Israel has no right to fight back against the Islamic Jihad, we will eventually accept that we can’t do it.<br /><br />And not just Islamic terrorism, but anything at all. Including illegal aliens invading our border.<br /><br />On Oct 7, Israel asked the question whether its nation has the right to exist. It didn’t ask it with aimless philosophy, but with military force. That’s the same question President Trump asked when he rode down that escalator. That’s still the same question being asked today.<br /><br />The Left believes that every non-western nation, no matter how ruthless, genocidal or evil, has the right to exist, and that no western nation, no matter how liberal, has that same right. Many European nations are now ruled by those dedicated to their own national destruction. That is why the UK’s Starmer regime has taken to locking up anyone who mentions the Islamic invasion of the UK, why police forces monitor social media and why it silences journalists.<br /><br />Only the worst kind of fools believe that the Left cares about the human rights hoaxes it puts about on ICE, Israel or mass migration in Europe. The same Left that whines over Poland’s border security or how much food is in Gaza also covered up the mass rape of British girls by Muslim sex grooming gangs, the cartel invasions of America and the mass murder of Israelis.<br /><br />Anyone who turns to leftists as moral authorities is either evil, suicidal or a useful idiot.<br /><br />The First Commandment of the Left aimed at the Judeo-Christian world civilization is “Thou shalt not exist. Thou shalt commit suicide. Thou shalt allow your enemies to overrun you and destroy you.” The Second Commandment of the Left is “Thou shalt tell any lie to weaken the moral resolve and the courage of the defenders of civilization and get them to surrender.”<br /><br />Democrats allowed the Left into their party and committed political suicide. Now leftists and their enablers are trying to sneak the same corrupt ideology into the Republican Party, the conservative movement and MAGA under the guise of leftists who claim to be ‘anti-woke’ but are just as committed to the destruction of America. You cannot be MAGA if you support America’s enemies. And you cannot be MAGA if you don’t believe America should exist.<br /><br />The anti-Israel movement is also an anti-American movement because it’s a leftist movement. And there can be no compromises and no common ground with the Left. As generations of college students becoming radicalized on campus showed us, when you accept the premises of the Left, you become the Left, and then you become the enemy of everything you believed.<br /><br />Right now, the Left wants to get MAGA to go left on Israel. Tomorrow, it will be America’s turn.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Break the rules,” New York Attorney General Letitia James recently told a radical leftist magazine. And she’s been doing exactly that.<br /><br />Since taking office, the state’s top prosecutor has promoted one politically motivated prosecution after another, targeting, among others, the NRA and the Trump family, even as crime in the state soared to horrifying new heights. An exclusive Freedom Center investigation showed that 1,000 people died while Attorney General Letitia James neglected her duties.<br /><br />Now James and her media allies are crying because the Justice Department is investigating her.<br /><br />And no one deserves it more than her.<br /><br />The New York attorney general’s spokesperson claimed that the federal investigation of the worst attorney general in the country was a “weaponization of the justice system” and “any weaponization of the justice system should disturb every American.”<br /><br />That is true. It’s why James’ campaign to dissolve the National Rifle Association (NRA) and plunder its assets as part of her promise to eliminate the group for entirely political reasons was so disturbing. It’s why when she ran on promising to “take on President Donald Trump” and fulfilled that promise through politically motivated investigations of his organizations and businesses was equally disturbing. And it’s why the Justice Department has issued subpoenas and is looking into the misconduct of her office in both politically motivated prosecutions.<br /><br />The so-called ‘fraud’ case against President Trump was illegitimately framed and prosecuted. It should never have existed and would never have existed except for purely political reasons.<br /><br />Attorney General James now faces her own investigation for mortgage fraud for falsely listing a home for her niece as her ‘primary’ residents. Then there are the documents misstating details in a loan document about a house in New York and James’ father falsely claiming her as his wife on yet another loan document in what looks like a pattern of serial mortgage fraud.<br /><br />James is claiming that these are just mistakes that are being selectively criminalized. Much like the politically motivated case she brought against Trump for allegedly overstating his assets. But the pattern is that the mistakes were those that were helpful to James and her family. When normal non-criminal people make unmotivated errors, they can fall in either direction, but the ‘mistakes’ in the mortgages involving James and her family all improved the likelihood of getting a loan and the likelihood of getting a loan at a better rate. While it’s hard to prove intent, James had no problem prosecuting the Trump family without regard to what their intent was.<br /><br />And while perhaps a normal person might deserve some benefit of the doubt, Letitia James offered none when pursuing her political opponents entirely political reasons.<br /><br />And so Attorney General Letitia James deserves nothing but what she gave to others.<br /><br />James ought to know how that works since she built her plans for her political career around it. Now she’s stuck complaining that investigating her politically motivated investigations is politically motivated. The only human beings who could take that seriously work in the media.<br /><br />Letitia James promised to take down the NRA and Trump while running for attorney general. She made a mockery of the idea of the rule of law. Democrats funded her on the explicit understanding that she would pursue the politically motivated investigations that she did. Communist dictatorships have been less explicit about their motives in jailing their critics.<br /><br />The only remaining argument against investigating James is the same one being put forward in defense of gerrymandering in Illinois. It’s different when Democrats do it. Perhaps the media will even recycle Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s defense of his gerrymandering, that it’s not racist because it targets white people, not black people. The politically motivated prosecutions of Attorney General Letitia James all targeted white people. While the DOJ is targeting her.<br /><br />Surely that’s racist.<br /><br />While Letitia James slimed her way into higher office by working with leftist groups, she’s not much of a lawyer, and has brought in former Hunter Biden lawyer Abbe Lowell to defend her. Lowell, whose success in defending the former president’s son was somewhat mixed, created a new law firm, Lowell &amp; Associates, to defend Democrats who had gone after Trump from facing the legal blowback in a new administration, or as they put it “facing politicized investigations”.<br /><br />So far the only publicly known client is James who pioneered “politicized investigations”.<br /><br />Lowell’s defense of Hunter Biden had leaned heavily on the day that the crackhead who had left behind ample evidence of his misdeeds and yet had been protected from the consequences by his father’s authority was only facing prosecution for crimes anyone else would have spent years in jail for because of “Republican pressure”.<br /><br />“If Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought,” Lowell claimed. The one thing everyone knows about Delaware and California, is that it’s full of Republicans abusing the law to go after Dems.<br /><br />Hunter’s lawyer has been brushing off the Hunter defense for Letitia James, but it didn’t work for the former president’s son and there’s no reason to think it will work for one of her attack dogs. Lowell has been trying to try the case in the media and isn’t doing a very good job because he has to make the case that the investigation of his client is politically motivated, but her investigations were not, and no one (probably not even Lowell) seriously believes that.<br /><br />And yet the larger class of victims of James’ misdeeds aren’t Trump and conservatives.<br /><br />Along the way, she abused her office and failed in her first duty to the people of New York, to keep them safe from violent criminals like those that her political movement supports.<br /><br />In 2019, when James first took office, there were 567 murders in the state, by 2020, there were 841 murders and since she held office, there has been a total of 987 excess deaths. Around 1,000 extra people were murdered under Attorney General Letita James while she wasted her time on partisan investigations of Trump and other conservative opponents.<br /><br />Their blood will always be on her hands.<br /><br />Attorney General Letitia James showed zero interest in actually doing her job, viewing it only as a stepping stone to some higher office, and while she’s certainly far from the first state attorney general to do that, or the first to abuse it for partisan purposes, she was the first in a long time to transform her position into a level to prosecute, ban, defund and lock up her political opponents.<br /><br />Now she may face the most perfect reckoning imaginable as she faces the prospect of justice.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

But it really shouldn’t because they don’t believe it.<br /><br />From the Hitler-Stalin pact to the white liberal worship of the Black Panthers, it’s long since been clear that what they claim to want is very different from what they really, really want.<br /><br />Liberals claimed to want civil rights, racial coexistence and integration, but even well before Martin Luther King’s body was cold in the ground, they were enraptured by Malcolm X, the Black Panthers and later outright terrorist groups like the Black Liberation Army and their illegitimate offspring like Black Lives Matter. Well before the official Red-Green alliance between Islam and the Left, white liberals had made common cause with a racist, misogynistic, supremacist and occasionally Islamic terrorist movement bent on destroying America.<br /><br />Despite the acid-tongued observations of everyone from S. I. Hayakawa to Tom Wolfe that appeared to gain new life during the years of BLM posturing, this was not really about black people. And in the mind of the white liberals screaming that there’s genocide in Gaza and that Gitmo was a concentration camp, it’s not really about Islam either. If it had been, white liberals would not have also genuflected before the mostly fake Indians of the American Indian Movement, the racists of La Raza boasting about their master mixed race or any of the other lunatic fringe groups boosted by the Ford Foundation, the media and academia into real power.<br /><br />It’s really simple if you understand that white liberals want to be hated. The DEI struggle sessions and race dinners of recent years at which members of an extremely well-heeled class paid good money for black DEI experts to tell them that they were worthless human garbage, forever doomed to be racist by their tainted DNA and skin color, ought to have settled the issue.<br /><br />What’s complicated is that white liberals don’t suffer from a lack of self-esteem. They have far too much of it. And that’s the problem. Conformists love their class, egomaniacs hate it. The average white woke has come of age convinced of his, her or xer specialness which has been tragically stifled by the elite overproduction of its parents, peer group and society. Outside of school shootings, leftist politics is how the overproduced elites turn on each other.<br /><br />Like Romans, they turn to an inferior Pretorian Guard to winnow their ranks, remove their rivals and destroy their entire class. They seek out not victims, but aggressors playing victims, who will denounce their entire class as an unjust institution while recognizing that out of the systemically racist entities of their country, society and family, they alone are the good ones.<br /><br />The great dream of white liberal is to be accepted by a minority person. But not just any minority person. The only minority whose regard they truly cherish, rather than condescend to, is the minority who otherwise hates every other white person on earth, but appears to accept them. Only such a minority is not an ‘Uncle Tom’, subservient to the class, society and country they hate so much, but is admirable for being ready, willing and able to go to war against it.<br /><br />Every white liberal wanted to party with Huey Newton. Then Obama. And now Mamdani. The radicals who hate America know this and actively count on it. Pretending to be friends with white liberal idiots and making themselves seem so cool that white liberals will pant to hang out with them is nine tenths of their public persona. Even though the persona is invariably fake.<br /><br />Self-hating liberals need a movement that violently hates their class, but that also offers a personal opportunity for them to rise above their class. Rather than betraying their class, they believe that they are finally overcoming it in the fires of revolution. This combination of class hatred and self-love defines their politics and most of the events of the last 70 years.<br /><br />But this is not a recent phenomenon. And it’s not about race. Before the politics of race, white liberals yearned to be working class. They tried (and failed miserably) to turn to farming. They wore blue collar clothes. They wrote about the lives of coal miners. They delivered speeches calling for the workers and peasants to unite. They abandoned the working class when they found groups who plausibly hated them even more and wanted to destroy them as a class.<br /><br />Though they may call themselves progressives, their form of progress has been to revert from the modern to the medieval, from miners to minor suicide bombers and from railroad workers to Jihadis who blow up trains and barring the arrival of space aliens who want to destroy the planet, there is probably nowhere further down to go to find a more extreme form of hatred.<br /><br />It was never about justice, but about justifications for utter destruction.<br /><br />From Marx to Mohammed, the extreme ideologies they willingly act as useful idiots for call for their elimination in the name of some form of justice. This is not a coincidence. Any ideology that did not call for fundamental transformation, for a total revolution and a forcible redistribution of everything would never be able to win their allegiance. It isn’t suffering that they value or it would have been the African genocides that would have been their first priority, not Marxism.<br /><br />Abroad, they cared about human rights in Vietnam until the Communists won, they cared about oppression in Cuba until the Communists won, they cared about tyranny in Egypt and Iran until the Islamists took over and they care about the suffering in Israel until they can destroy Israel. And the same goes for America, Europe and every country dysfunctional enough for its upper middle class to overproduce the same narcissistic spawn who read too many bad novels, sneer at their parents and vow to move to somewhere cool and campaign to abolish America.<br /><br />The problem isn’t that they love to be hated, it’s that they think they deserve to be hated for their class and loved for themselves, when really they deserve to be hated as individuals. After destroying countries, societies and economies to feed their twisted egos, they can never get enough of being outraged at the things they hear about on NPR or read in the New York Times, not because they genuinely care, but because they think that virtue signaling somehow makes them superior to everyone else.<br /><br />It doesn’t. It just makes them even more hated. Just not by those they want to be hated by.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Louisiana v. Callais is likely headed for a big Supreme Court decision that will fundamentally change how the Voting Rights Act enforces minority districts.<br /><br />There’s nothing to celebrate about the 60th anniversary of the VRA, a civil rights era relic which long ago stopped fighting segregation and instead enforced partisan gerrymandering with no end in sight. When the Supreme Court began allowing VRA ‘monitoring’ of elections in some states to sunset, Democrats cried that segregation and slavery were about to come back.<br /><br />But for all the talk of democracy and racism, Louisiana v. Callais shows what keeping the zombie VRA alive is really about. The case is about whether federal courts can force Louisiana to create two Democrat congressional seats under the guise of creating two black seats. It’s a common form of gerrymandering that uses race as a trojan horse for mandating Dem seats.<br /><br />When heavily gerrymandered Democrat states like California, New York and Illinois eliminate Republican seats, that’s not seen as a Voting Rights Act violation even though much as Democrat seats are disproportionately minority, Republican seats are disproportionately white.<br /><br />Democrats are not fighting to keep the VRA alive because they care about black people, but because they care about maintaining the racially gerrymandered seats produced by VRA abuses. A New York Times column by Jamelle Bouie complained that “the current Supreme Court’s vision of a rigidly colorblind Constitution” would lead it to reject the notion that the Constitution mandates majority black and therefore Democrat districts. But if the issue were about racial disenfranchisement, Democrats would try to boost the power of black voters by making them a crucial swing bloc in key races instead of apportioning guaranteed seats to senile members of the Congressional Black Caucus who hardly bother running anymore.<br /><br />Over in Texas, at the center of a national gerrymandering civil war, did the increasingly demented Rep. Al Green, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who died last year, only to be replaced by Rep. Sylvester Turner, who died this year do any more for black people than their white opposite numbers have done for white people? The amount of scandals, ethics violations and criminal investigations that follow Congressional Black Caucus members is ample evidence of that. The average age of CBC leaders with a lifetime sinecure is in the 70s.<br /><br />Abusing the VRA to create minority seats for Democrats who couldn’t lose an election unless they were actually locked up for their criminal careers didn’t empower black people, it empowered the Democrats. And that racial gerrymandering gave Democrats guaranteed seats.<br /><br />The underlying question being asked 60 years later in Louisiana v. Callais is whether black people can be represented by representatives from other races, and whether the same is true for all of America’s other racial, ethnic and religious groups. Despite reams of critical race theory propaganda, the 1619 Project, the career of lucrative literary racists like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi, and the BLM riots, there’s no reason to believe in racially segregated districts.<br /><br />If having white people represent districts with black voters in it was really unthinkable, how can the Democrats justify the career of Rep. Steve Cohen, who has represented a majority black district, along with Rep. Shri Thanedar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and vice versa, quite a few of the younger black Democrats have been elected from majority white congressional districts.<br /><br />Democrats don’t actually believe that black districts need black representatives, or they would have long ago booted third world carpetbaggers like Tlaib and Thanedar, along with the loathsome Cohen who once bragged that he was an honorary black man because he was driving a broken down car and dating his own daughter. What they do believe is that black districts are more likely to elect Dems of whatever race and so they gerrymander them.<br /><br />The Voting Rights Act long ago turned into illegal racial gerrymandering and if more of it is chipped away, it will make it possible for Texas to determine districts for political, not racial reasons, and while gerrymandering may not be ideal, the only thing worse than depriving people of political power, forcing them into laughably shaped districts and denying them representation, for their political views is doing all that because of their race. And that’s what the VRA has been doing.<br /><br />No one is entitled to a congressional seat on account of their race. That notion is as blatantly racist as the abuses that originally led to measures like the Voting Rights Act. Despite the best effort of a civil rights movement that long soured from opposing segregation to supporting it, the whole point of desegregation is, as Martin Luther King said, is choosing content of character over skin color. And content of character does not have a guaranteed two seats in Louisiana.<br /><br />Or anywhere else.<br /><br />There are genuine solutions to gerrymandering. They include outlawing districts shaped like a frightened snail trying to escape from an earthquake. Texas has upped the ante for either escalating gerrymandering or negotiating a compact to end the gerrymandering arms race. And if the Supreme Court rules wisely in Louisiana v. Callais, it can help end racial gerrymandering.<br /><br />The best way to end racism, segregation, racial discrimination and all the other baskets of racial ills is to stop practicing it. The opposite of racism isn’t anti-racism, it’s non-racism.

And the right reason is ending electoral democracy.<br /><br />In that noble democratic spirit, California, where Republicans are occasionally allowed out in public, just not in the streets of major cities, announced plans to reduce the number of its 52 congressional seats that Republicans are allowed to hold in the state from 9 to 3.<br /><br />California has 5.7 million registered Republicans to 10.3 million registered Democrats (and another nearly 7 million people who refuse to choose a political party despite the best efforts of the DMV, the Department of Cannabis Control and Jimmy Kimmel Live!) and Trump won 38% of the vote there which means that statistically Republicans ought to have more seats than that even if all they did was run a random masked guy named Bob in every single election.<br /><br />Instead, California has state primaries, including Senate races, in which Democrats compete against other Democrats, as if the state were run by Communist China (instead of merely being used as a model and stash house by a succession of Democrat governors.)<br /><br />How do California Democrats, who make up 45% of registered voters, control 82% of the congressional seats and all of the state government? Fraud, the use of taxpayer-funded community groups for political organizing to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and also massive gerrymandering of a kind that would have made any machine Democrat from a century ago weep tears of shame and then hide out in a cemetery to consult with his voters.<br /><br />Now, Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing to take the Democrats from controlling a mere 82% of congressional seats to controlling 94% of congressional seats. To put that into context, this is a more extreme domination by an authoritarian ruling party than in Communist China. In the National People’s Congress, only 86% of the delegates belong to the Chinese Communist Party (while the others, like members of the DSA and the WFP in America, belong to organizations controlled by the Communist Party). Even Vladimir Putin settled for 88% of the vote.<br /><br />Newsom looked at China and Russia, and decided that he could do better and go for 94%.<br /><br />There are minor technical issues with Newsom’s plan: it’s unconstitutional, illegal and makes California look like Russia with more bleached blondes. In 2008, and a last gasp of actual democracy, a majority of Californians voted in favor of Proposition 11, to add a constitutional amendment creating an independent commission to control redistricting. In 2010, 59.5% of voters voted to have that commission set congressional districts. The commission, which currently includes Isra Ahmad, formerly of the Division of Equity &amp; Social Justice on the ‘independent’ side, and Sara Sadhwani of CHIRLA, the group linked to the recent illegal alien riots, on the Democrat side, is a farce. But at least it’s a constitutional farce.<br /><br />Unsatisfied with how gerrymandered the not especially independent commission already made California, Gov. Newsom would like to sideline even the pretense of any kind of legal system and seize control over redistricting to eliminate the 38% of the state’s voters who backed Trump (electorally for now, perhaps more definitively down the road) by either asking voters to sideline the commission (previous Dem efforts to do that have failed) or by simply ignoring the commission on the theory that the threat to democracy is too grave to allow for democracy.<br /><br />“We’re in a different moment right now. Texas Republicans are rigging the game for 2026. We’re not going to play by the same old rules if it means risking democracy,” Gov. Newsom declared.<br /><br />The rules being the rule of law.<br /><br />Talk of Republicans gerrymandering Texas to create more Republican seats serves as the pretext, but Texas has 25 Republican seats and 12 Democrat seats. If Republican redistricting plans go through, then Democrats would have as many seats in Texas as Republicans do in California. Newsom isn’t protesting unfairness, he’s protesting the idea of Democrats in Texas being treated the way that Republicans are in California. And his form of protest is to double down on gerrymandering, which he deplores in Texas, but celebrates in California.<br /><br />When Republicans gerrymander, it threatens democracy, but when Democrats gerrymander, they’re saving democracy. This makes sense if you understand democracy, not as one man, woman or xer with one vote, but Democrats winning every election and controlling everything.<br /><br />It’s easy to tell whether Texas or California is more (small d) democratic by the behavior of their minority parties. Democrats have a longtime project for flipping Texas while Republicans have given up on flipping California. Democrats clearly believe there’s more democracy in Texas than Republicans believe that there is in California. Democracy doesn’t need saving in Texas, but it long ago signed a DNR form and made out its last will and testament in California.<br /><br />And not just California.<br /><br />“States where Democrats would have complete control over any redistricting, such as Illinois and Maryland, are already gerrymandered heavily in their favor. Squeezing more Democratic seats out of those states would be a challenge,” the New York Times admitted.<br /><br />“At this moment, it seems very clear that self defense is something we have to put as a priority,” House Majority Leader David Moon warned, threatening to open redistricting to kill the single Republican seat left in Maryland.<br /><br />In Maryland, where Trump won 34% of the vote, there are eight congressional seats with just one of them held by a Republican for 87% Democrat control. Moon is proposing 100% one party control.for numbers in line with Kim Jong Un’s numbers over in Moon’s neighboring North Korea<br /><br />In Illinois, where Trump won 43% of the vote, there are 14 Democrats and only 3 Republicans for 82% control by the ruling party.<br /><br />Even if Texas were to go ahead with its plan, it would be at 78% Republican control.<br /><br />But is Texas really gerrymandering or undoing gerrymanders inflicted by partisan implementation of the Voting Rights Act and the creation of majority-minority Democrat ‘coalition’ districts? The erosion of VRA enforced gerrymandering has made it more possible to not base districts on the skin color of the people living in them. And while gerrymandering is corrupt, racial gerrymandering combines racism and corruption for something even more toxic.<br /><br />The Democrats aren’t protesting gerrymandering in Texas, they’re protecting it, even while threatening to gerrymander their states harder until there’s nothing left except Democrats.<br /><br />“Never bring a knife to a gunfight,” Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey threatened, as the slimy former Goldman Sachs tycoon tried to sound like a movie mobster. “We’re from Jersey, baby, and we won’t be laying down.”<br /><br />Trump won 46% of the vote in New Jersey. The state’s congressional delegation has 9 Democrats and 3 Republicans even though there are 1.6 million registered Republicans to 2.3 million registered Democrats along with 2.5 million unaffiliated voters.<br /><br />When 36% of the voters control 75% of the seats, the only place Murphy should be lying down (and should have been in all along) is the same place the mobsters he’s initiating were sent to.<br /><br />Even the media has been forced to admit that the Democrat threats to super-gerrymander their states if Texas redistricts are hollow because they’re already as gerrymandered as they can go. The only way to push their one-party control even further is by, as Newsom is proposing to do, bypassing constitutional and legal blocks to seize total control and create one-party states.<br /><br />That would end democracy, but sometimes you have to destroy democracy to save democracy.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

We anticipate that we will be paying hundreds of millions of dollars every year until 2030, and then millions more each year through fiscal year 2050,” Los Angeles County CEO Davenport warned.<br /><br />Paying off the sex abuse claims from as far back as 40 years ago will require LA to issue bonds, divert money from reserve funds and make deep cuts in its budgets for the next 25 years.<br /><br />And that’s not even the end of it.<br /><br />The $4 billion is a group settlement which does not include all possible plaintiffs. Side negotiations are still taking place with more lawyers who want even more money. County lawyers had previously warned that “If all those cases were to proceed to verdict, the estimated liability could be in the tens of billions of dollars and bankrupt the county.”<br /><br />Since Assembly Bill 218, which lifted the time limit on sex abuse lawsuits, is a state bill, Los Angeles could be the first of multiple California counties hit with multi-billion dollar bills.<br /><br />An LA Times article called it as “a looming threat” that “could bankrupt California counties” and reported on a claim by Ventura County lawyers that it “threatens the ‘financial viability’ of every county and public school district in California” and represents a “statewide crisis”.<br /><br />If a major red state were facing bankruptcy over decades of sex abuses, it would be a huge national story that the media would cover as indicative of the rot in its culture, but since the events are taking place in the bluest part of California, they remain a local story.<br /><br />And yet Los Angeles County is not the only liberal area in the country being bankrupted by sex abuse settlements. The entire state of Maryland which is in a sex abuse crisis mode.<br /><br />Like Los Angeles, Maryland unleashed a tidal wave of sex abuse claims by passing a law lifting time limits for sex abuse lawsuits against the state. And then quickly regretted it.<br /><br />Maryland’s Child Victims Act was only passed in 2023, but legislators rushed to shut it down after it was estimated that the state was facing $4 billion in liabilities.<br /><br />The same Democrat legislators, under Gov. Wes Moore, who had bragged about their passage of the Child Victims Act, corruptly rushed through a ‘fix’ through the state House, Senate and to Gov. Moore’s desk in a record two days to cover themselves. The ‘fix’ caps settlements for government institutions at $400,000 (and $700,000 for private ones) because, as Del. David Moon (D) explained, the state of Maryland “does not have the option of bankruptcy”.<br /><br />Sen. Will Smith (D) explained that the ‘fix’ to the bill he had voted for was urgently needed because what “we could never have anticipated was just the sheer volume of cases that ensued”.<br /><br />A state facing sex abuse bankruptcy and hypocritically rushing through a cap at the last minute should have been bigger news, but once again the national media tried to keep it quiet.<br /><br />Why did California, Maryland and other state legislatures open the door to these lawsuits?<br /><br />Democratic legislators were lobbied by politically connected law firms, often using alleged ‘victims’ as a front, with the promise of scoring big payouts from the Catholic Church. California and Maryland officials had been warned that they were exposing their states to untold billions in liability over accusations from a generation ago that could not be defended against.<br /><br />The dirty little secret of the accusations is how few of them can even be verified.<br /><br />With over 7,000 claims and over $4 billion in payouts so far, it would seem reasonable that hundreds of sex abusers had also been named and are being arrested and prosecuted.<br /><br />The actual number in Los Angeles is 2. Not 2,000 or 200. Only 2.<br /><br />As of 2023, the LA County DA’s office was reviewing the cases of two men, one of whom had allegedly groped a 17-year-old back in 2006, among 21 employees who had been placed on leave. As of now, there has yet to be any word of action actually being taken against them.<br /><br />Either 2 men, or at best 21, molested thousands of teens, or there has been a massive failure of accountability. But more likely the actions of the California legislature unleashed a massive fraud. Local TV channels were filled with ads for lawyers promising big payouts and the lawsuits could be filed based on little to no evidence based on events that had happened in the 1980s.<br /><br />One law firm, bragging that it was part of the “$500 million club” of the “National Academy of Sexual Abuse Lawyers” (no such organization appears to exist) even solicited clients by offering “cash advances” on their cases. Plaintiffs could get money just for making an allegation.<br /><br />Lawsuits could be filed even if there had been no complaint, arrest or prosecution at the time of the alleged abuse. Little more was needed than the word of an individual and perhaps ‘corroboration’ from one of their friends. While there were real abuses and real victims, the wave of thousands of complaints made them all but impossible to seriously investigate.<br /><br />AB 218 was proposed by Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher, whose husband, a former fellow assemblyman, had to step down after being sued for sexual assault. Law firms and lawyers represent a not insignificant part of her donor base. And that of many politicians.<br /><br />While the law firms expect to reap a fortune from these lawsuits, it’s unclear how much the victims, real or fictional, will even end up with, but most of it will go to the ambulance chasers.<br /><br />Contingency fee rates fall between 33% to 60% of most such settlements. With the species of aggressive law firms spending millions on marketing alone, it’s a safe bet that the fee rate will be on the higher side and that at least $2 billion of the $4 billion settlement will go to the lawyers.<br /><br />But the more likely scenario is that the law firms will take a majority of the cash.<br /><br />Any actual victims will have to split the money with an army of fraudsters drawn by the ads and will receive a tiny percentage of the settlement after the lawyers and scam artists cash in. After the lawyers take 60% and the 70% of scammers take the rest, the victims may be left with 12%.<br /><br />The law firms can be expected to pass the money back to the California legislators who enabled their money grab. While counties raise taxes and local schools cut services, the politicians responsible for this planned disaster will see contributions to their campaigns and ‘dark money’ donations to their 501(c)(3) social welfare nonprofits from those same law firms.<br /><br />The politicians, some of who have turned a blind eye to sexual harassment in their own offices and among their own allies, will tell taxpayers that they need to pay more in the name of justice.<br /><br />And life in California will get worse while those destroying the state will get even richer.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The victims included not only Israelis or Jews, but Americans and Europeans, Christians and Buddhists, as well as those Bedouins whom the Hamas, PLO and Islamic Jihad attackers did not consider Muslims.<br /><br />Their rationale was not a “Palestinian” cause or any of the later war propaganda myths about an “open air prison”, but an Islamic religious imperative to drive out infidels. That’s why they named their genocidal campaign, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ after their occupation mosque planted in Jerusalem that they hoped to reclaim when they had killed or enslaved all the infidels in Israel.<br /><br />In their earliest statements when they thought they were winning, Hamas leaders emphasized their religious agenda, of seizing the Al Aqsa Mosque and driving out the infidels, not a ‘Palestinian’ cause or the partial Israeli embargo on its limited border with Gaza.<br /><br />That was the only ‘genocide’ that occured in the last two years. It just isn’t being called one.<br /><br />The Oct 7 genocide had nothing to do with any ‘national liberation’ for some imaginary ‘Palestinian’ people. It followed over a thousand years of Islamic invasions, mass slaughters, slavery and mass rape across the region. The Jews, once a conquered people, had been the ones to rebel against Islamic rule in Israel through groups such as NILI (Netzach Israel Lo Yishaker – The Eternal One of Israel Does Not Lie) and fight for freedom from Islamic rule.<br /><br />Muslim Jihads against Jews began shortly afterward. The wars against Israel by Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Muslim countries from as far away as Iraq, Iran and Yemen were not about an imaginary ‘Palestinian’ nationality at a time when Gaza, Judea and Samaria were occupied by Arab Muslim nations, but about the religious and tribal genocide aimed at any ‘Other’ group.<br /><br />No one in the international community who spreads the lie that Israel’s self-defense is ‘genocide’ has dared to apply that label to the Turkish Islamic campaign against the Kurds, the Syrian Arab Islamic massacre of the Druze or any of the other numerous ongoing Islamic tribal ethnic cleansing campaigns that have made the region what it is. When Muslims claim that they’re the ‘indigenous’ people, it’s because they massacred and enslaved everyone else.<br /><br />Including the Jews.<br /><br />Even when ISIS openly declared that it was enslaving and killing the Yazidi people in line with the teachings of Islam, the same voices slurring ‘Zionism’ as genocidal, loudly declared that the Islamic scholars of the Islamic State were completely wrong about Islam. But what ISIS was doing is exactly what was done to the Druze, the Kurds, the Armenians, the Christians of the region, along with numerous other minorities, and the Jews. Jihad is Arabic for genocide.<br /><br />Since Oct 7, the only tool in the Jihad propaganda playbook has been moral inversion.<br /><br />Hamas accuses Israel of killing children and then parades the coffins of murdered Jewish children about. It claims genocide, cries famine and cruelty, and demands a ceasefire, even as its leaders promise that once they’re ready, they’ll finish the job and wipe out the Jews.<br /><br />This discourse is whitewashed and laundered by the media which attributes Hamas war propaganda to “Gaza officials”, “health officials”, “journalists”, “rescue workers”, “police” and anyone else tasked by Hamas with serving as an interface between it and the outside world.<br /><br />Politicians unthinkingly parrot Hamas lies, including its ceaseless campaign to reclaim control over food aid coming into Gaza by spreading the myth that Israel keeps killing civilians at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food distribution sites, and the media builds them into towering narratives, propping up the moral inversion of genocide to cover the actual Islamic genocide.<br /><br />Every accusation coming out of the Jihad propaganda machine is really a confession.<br /><br />And if there were any doubts that Hamas rhetoric about wiping out Israel and its Jewish population is sincere, the Muslim Brotherhood terror group got a chance to show it on Oct 7. Apologists for Islamic terrorism previously argued that the terrorists acted out of “desperation”, that they had no choice but to set off suicide bombs on buses and pizzerias, but there was no desperation in the massacres that occured when the Jihadis found a civilian population at their mercy. They murdered women, children and the elderly, they beheaded foreign workers, and in their glee, they engaged in brutal atrocities that undermined the larger aims of their campaign.<br /><br />Lazy journalists might be tempted to call them “senseless”, but that’s because they don’t understand Islam. When the Jihadis chant “Allahu Akbar” while killing non-Muslims, they are engaged in a transcendent religious experience that allows them to feel that they are bringing the power of the murderous deity they worship into this world by defeating non-Muslims. And when they chant “Khaybar Ya Yahood” or “Remember Khaybar, O Jews”, a common event at anti-Israel rallies, they are connecting Mohammed’s ancient ethnic cleansing of the Jews of Arabia to their planned ethnic cleansing of the Jews of Israel and of the world in the present.<br /><br />The Jihad is genocidal. But that’s because the worship of Islam is fundamentally genocide.<br /><br />Unlike other religions, the primary mission of Islam is to enforce the will of Allah by destroying the power of all other religions and cultures, subjugating them to the will of an Islamic master race, enforced civilly by the codes of Sharia religious law and militarily through Jihad. Muslim Brotherhood front groups use moral inversion to denounce such statements of the historical and present day beliefs of Islam as ‘Islamophobia’ or hateful conspiracy theories, but they can be seen in the entire history of Islam, in the present day actions of Muslim nations and in the future plans of Islamic movements to spread across the rest of the world and subjugate all of it.<br /><br />Muslims are currently in a state of religious war with not only Jews or even Christians, but also with Hindus in India and Buddhists in Burma. When a single ideology representing a quarter of humanity has been in a state of endless war with the religions representing at least another 60% of the planet, it’s pretty clear who has the problem here. And it’s not the Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists being bombed, beheaded, stabbed and shot at all around the world.<br /><br />Israel, America, Russia, China and the rest of the world aren’t saints, but there’s a reason that Muslims typically enjoy more rights in non-Muslim countries than non-Muslims do in Muslim countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Iran. There’s also a reason why many Muslims move to non-Muslim countries while few non-Muslims move to Muslim ones. The hate is mostly one way.<br /><br />Muslim propagandists pretend that like the Arab Muslim Jihad against Israel, branded a ‘special case’ of a ‘Palestinian’ minority fighting against the Jews, all their Jihads are special cases. When Muslims massacre Hindu tourists, it’s because they’re fighting for Kashmir, when they randomly stab people in Europe, it’s because their ‘asylum seekers’ are denied citizenship, and when they bomb churches in Nigeria, it’s because the government insists on fighting terrorism.<br /><br />There’s always an excuse that positions Muslims as victims and a minority group, a ‘special case’ of a persecuted people desperately rising up in self-defense, but that big lie, a lie so big that Goebbels would quail at it, falls apart the moment you look at how Muslim countries treat non-Muslims, at the way that they ally together to attack non-Muslims outside their borders, and at the mission statement of Islamic terrorists to gather the ‘Ummah’, the collective Muslims of the world, to unite under a ‘Caliphate’ to rule the world. This isn’t victimhood. It’s genocide.<br /><br />No one dares call Jihad ‘genocide’. Instead the ‘genocide’ label is most often applied to those courageous nations that, alone and isolated, resist the genocidal Islamic Jihad against them.<br /><br />Israel is one of them.<br /><br />The Jihad propaganda machine claims that its genocide is ‘resistance’ and that resistance to its genocide is genocide. The truth is as always the opposite. Resisting Islamic genocide is the best defense against genocide. The entire Oct 7 war was set off by an Islamic genocide plot. The closer Israel comes to destroying the genocidal Jihadis, the more they and their useful idiots across the world, shout “genocide”, and traffic in the most outlandish lies and smears to save the Jihadis so that they can launch an actual genocide against the people of Israel.<br /><br />A few million Jews in Israel have stood off the genocidal campaign of the 400 million Muslim majority of the region in a miraculous and heroic campaign of resistance against utter evil. They won every war, but lost every argument, and the monsters who came to wipe out every last man, woman and child in Israel shout that they are the real victims of genocide, they brandish papers full of fake numbers, they tweet AI atrocity photos and put on makeup for the cameras.<br /><br />But if anyone wants to see a real genocide, look at the Middle East, a region that was once rich in religious diversity where 91% of the population is now Muslim. How did that happen? Was the prospect of being able to take four wives, marry girls as young as seven years old and bask in virgins with eternally regenerating hymens in paradise so appealing that everyone converted?<br /><br />History tells us a very different and much uglier story that is still going on to this very day. It’s a story written in bombed churches, captured girls and streams of refugees fleeing the region.<br /><br />But where everyone else fled or submitted, the Jews of Israel are still resisting the Jihad. They’re not committing genocide. They’re resisting the Islamic genocide that overran the region.<br /><br />Jihad is genocide. Fighting Jihad is not genocide. It’s resistance.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

This is state-sanctioned intimidation,” Flores declared. “I am calling for the immediate cessation of these raids and for the Huntington Park Police Department to begin verifying the identities and authority of any individuals conducting such operations within city limits.” <br /><br />According to an official statement, Flores is “urging law enforcement to investigate and intervene in any unauthorized operations that place public safety or civil liberties at risk.” <br /><br />Considering that Huntington Park’s police department has only 86 full-time employees with only 58 law enforcement personnel and 28 civilians, a confrontation with federal law enforcement, especially one that can call on the National Guard and the United States Marine Corps for backup, and that much of the city government is already under federal investigation, that seems like a very poor idea, but it’s an idea that Los Angeles politicos are picking up. <br /><br />After the 60s, Huntington Park went from a white area to a 96.6% Hispanic one. No one knows how much of Huntington’s population is illegal and Mayor Flores, Vice Mayor Eduardo “Eddie” Martinez, Councilmember Karina Macias, Council Member Jonathan Sanabria, City Manager Ricardo Reyes, City Clerk Eduardo Sarmiento and Police Chief Cosme Lozano seem to like it that way. Huntington Park made history<a href="https://w.californiacitynews.org/2015/08/huntington-park-names-two-undocumented-immigrants-city-commissions.html"> by appointing</a> illegal aliens to various commissions. <br /><br />Statewide representatives like Senator Lena Gonzalez, Assemblymember Robert Rivas and Assemblywoman Sade Elhawary (a bisexual half-Arab, half-Latina community organizer), and Congressman Robert Garcia like it that way too. <br /><br />And while the Latino names may stand out, what stands out more is the party. Ethnicity is just the intersection between criminality and the political power of the Dems. <br /><br />The Los Angeles Times described Huntington Park as “scandal-plagued” after corruption investigations led to search warrants being executed at the home of former Mayor (and current councilwoman) Karina Macias, Huntington Park City Hall and multiple other locations as part of ‘Operation Dirty Pond’. But places like Huntington Park represent the power base of the party. <br /><br />Democrat power in California rests on that mixture of cronyism, corruption and illegal aliens. <br /><br />Indeed, California is a prime example of a state where political power is built around illegal aliens. Whether or not the illegals actually vote in any number matters less than whether they’re counted for ‘ghost’ districts filled with non-citizens. California’s millions of illegal aliens represent local, statewide and congressional seats that give the Democrats a total lock on power. <br /><br />The state lost a congressional seat because its population only grew from 37.3 million to 39.5 million. How many congressional seats would California lose without its illegal alien population? <br /><br />Subtract even the most liberal number of illegal aliens and California would lose 4 seats (in addition to the one it already lost) bringing its congressional delegation down to 48 seats. That would be bad news for efforts by the Democrats to retake the House, but it would also cut California’s power in the electoral college and would make it harder for the Dems to win presidential elections. That is why they’re willing to risk civil war for illegals. <br /><br />Another way of looking at ‘sanctuary states’ and ‘cities’ is that they serve the purpose of ensuring that illegal aliens take part in local affairs to the maximum degree possible and that when a census taker shows up, they’re happy to answer questions and be counted. That, as both Democrats and Justice Roberts understood during Trump’s first term, is almost as important as actually going out there and voting. It’s why Democrats fight against not only Voter ID, but any restrictions on the participation of illegal aliens in any area of public life. <br /><br />What would the Democrats look like without an illegal population somewhere in the 30 million range? (Estimates vary wildly of the actual number. And that’s part of the problem.) <br /><br />The tens of millions of illegal aliens around the country inflate Democrat political power much as the number of slaves once did before the Civil War. If America’s illegals were to be deported, Democrats could lose as many as 15 electoral college votes and close elections would naturally trend toward Republicans. The political map would change. Democrats would cease to be competitive in national elections without fundamentally reorienting their message. <br /><br />And that is why the Democrats are willing to risk civil war to fight for illegal aliens in California. <br /><br />It’s not simple ideological fidelity. After Trump’s devastating ‘They/Them’ ad, Democrats and their media are building a case for dumping parts of the transgender movement. The New York Times and the Washington Post are heretically running articles arguing that ‘transing’ kids is a bad idea. Gov. Newsom agreed that having men in dresses competing against women is wrong and the University of Pennsylvania will be stripping Lia Thomas of his medals. <br /><br />The Democrats are far from done with the transgender movement, but for the moment they’re willing to pull back to avoid looking like lunatics because the actual strategic benefit of the transgender movement is right up there with the electoral potential of Rhode Island. <br /><br />Illegals are another matter. Even as drag queens were being kicked out of the DNC Fuhrerbunker, Democrats set off riots in Los Angeles and California politicians are working up confrontations with ICE. Democrat officials are looking for exciting new ways to compare immigration enforcement to the Holocaust, detention facilities to concentration camps and ICE personnel to the Nazis. This probably doesn’t play any better with the general public than Admiral Rachel Levine did, but detransitioning Democrats is easier than legalizing them. <br /><br />The Democrats can abandon drag queens and men named Sue a lot faster than they can abandon places like Huntington Park, California. California can’t afford to lose its illegal aliens because the party that runs it can’t afford to lose political power there and around the nation.<br /><br /> </span><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Many of these arrests involve speech critical of the presence of Muslims in the UK including the mass arrests of anyone revealing that, contrary to the government’s denials, a Muslim terrorist had stabbed <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/dead-girls-islamic-terror-and-government-crackdown/">3 little girls </a>to death. Now it’s been learned that the British government ran a scheme to smuggle thousands of Afghans into the UK and banned reporters from speaking about it. <br /><br />Over the last several years, UK governments secretly brought in over 35,000 Afghans at a cost estimated to be as high as $9 billion. The ‘operation’ went on even though the UK’s Ministry of Defence estimated that at least 1 in 10 of the smuggled Afghans would be homeless. <br /><br />But what happened next was even more shocking. After a data breach leaked information about the operation, the British government, claiming that it was trying to protect the Afghans it was smuggling into the UK, demanded an ‘injunction’ that banned anyone from reporting on it. <br /><br />A leftist judge who had previously intervened for migrants then went further with a ‘super injunction’ aimed “against the world” that threatened reporters with huge fines and prison time if they even discussed the news with each other. Senior members of the government were unable to disclose to the public where the money was going because of this ‘super injunction’. <br /><br />Year after year, governments colluded to maintain the ban and the censorship even as more Afghans poured into the UK. And no one in the UK was allowed to discuss what was going on. <br /><br />The authorities claimed that they needed mass censorship to prevent the names of the Afghans they were smuggling from being leaked to the Taliban, but it’s likely that the Taliban already knew the names, the injunction certainly did not limit the Taliban and the ‘super injunction’ could have banned the release of any identifying information from the data breach without concealing the existence of the Afghan smuggling scheme which the Taliban were certainly aware of. <br /><br />The Afghans weren’t being smuggled past the Taliban, but past the eyes of the British people. <br /><br />The ‘super-injunction’ appears to have led British governments to provide distorted figures of Afghans entering the UK and misleading budget figures because both the Labour and Conservative governments did not want the public to know where their money was going. <br /><br />The secrecy and the censorship has made it difficult for the British people to learn the truth about the destructive scale of the operation. Various figures have been provided for the cost of the Afghan smuggling scheme ranging from $1 billion to $9 billion (figures have been converted from pounds to dollars) and the number of those brought over from 4,000 to 35,000. <br /><br />Afghans have already been invading the UK by boat, certain that if they can just land, they will be allowed to stay. With asylum approval rates peaking as high as 98%, Afghans poured in to take advantage of a ‘streamlined asylum process’ reserved nearly entirely for migrants from Muslim countries. <br /><br />Former PM Rishi Sunak had promised the nation that he would fight illegal migration by accelerating asylum requests so that their claims would be processed “in days or weeks, not months or years” with “shorter guidance, fewer interviews, less paperwork”. And rather than cleaning up mass migration, Sunak turbocharged it for Afghans and migrants from other Muslim terrorist states. The “fewer interviews” allowed Afghan Muslims to apply for asylum without an interview, without paperwork and with even less vetting than there had been before. <br /><br />This was not a response to public outrage over mass migration and it certainly did nothing to deter it or expel migrants from the UK, rather it provided cover for secret smuggling schemes that were intended to continue the fundamental transformation of Britain. <br /><br />PM Sunak, like PM Starmer, lied to the public, pretended to care about mass migration all the while speeding it up and leading a relentless campaign to suppress any mention of the harm being caused by Muslim mass migration through a wave of social media speech arrests and a censorship scheme aimed at the public and the media to protect the smuggling of Afghans. <br /><br />What was the ‘super injunction’ really protecting? A future wave of Islamic terrorists. <br /><br />The recent independent review of the ‘super injunction’ that finally lifted it concluded that “there is little evidence of intent by the Taliban to conduct a campaign of retribution”. If the thousands and tens of thousands of Afghans being smuggled into the UK were really opponents of the Taliban who had loyally aided the UK, why wouldn’t the Taliban want to come after them? <br /><br />The reason the Taliban don’t is because these ‘refugees’ are really enemy invaders. <br /><br />Americans were sold the same phony bill of goods about the urgent need to take in Afghans in order to save them from the Taliban. But the tens of thousands of Afghans brought here illegally by Biden were waved through by the Taliban and Al Qaeda’s Haqqani Network who controlled access to Kabul Airport. The Afghans coming here weren’t fleeing the Taliban, they were vetted by the Taliban. And since then there’s been a wave of Afghan violence in the United States. <br /><br />Those are the same Afghans that the Biden administration and a number of Senate members working on a bipartisan deal to ‘secure the border’ urgently tried to legalize. As Front Page Magazine reported at the time, the legalization scheme was necessary because the Afghans <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/afghan-adjustment-act-would-legalize-36000-daniel-greenfield/">had no basis for filing legitimate </a>refugee asylum requests. Much like the UK’s ‘streamlined’ scheme for Afghans, the Biden administration pushed to cut refugee resettlement and vetting times from years to days. At that speed, no one noticed (or pretended not to notice) that 36,400 Afghans carried an unidentified document and <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-11110-afghan-migrants-born-on-jan-1/">at least 11,110 had fake birthdays</a>. 659 of the Afghans were either missing a first or a last name. So much for the “gold standard” vetting. <br /><br />Five years ago, Front Page Magazine<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/how-interpreter-scam-brought-75000-iraqis-and-daniel-greenfield/"> exposed the fraudulent </a>‘interpreter’ visa program that had been used as the basis for bringing tens of thousands of Afghans and Iraqis to America. 70,000 Iraqis and Afghans came here on the so-called translator/interpreter visas from 2007 to 2017. And <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/12/11/afghans-who-worked-for-u-s-government-make-up-growing-share-of-special-immigrant-visa-recipients/">48,601</a> of those SIVs went to Afghans. At its peak, under Obama, there were 100,000 American soldiers in Afghanistan. That’s an “interpreter” to every 2 soldiers. <br /><br />By March 2021, <a href="https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/R43725.pdf">100,000</a> Afghans and Iraqis had been approved for SIVs. The number of ‘interpreter’ visas kept on growing even as the number of U.S. troops dwindled to nothing. <br /><br />The British and American governments lied to the public to force the mass invasion of Muslim migrants into their respective countries. The only difference was that the lack of free speech in the UK allowed its government to back up those lies with mass censorship. <br /><br />But now the truth is coming out.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Adriano Espaillat’s claim to fame (apart from spending nearly 30 years in politics) was being the first former illegal alien or as his press releases state, the “only formerly undocumented immigrant to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives”. <br /><br />While being an illegal alien seems like a strange thing for an elected official to brag about, in the current political atmosphere where illegal aliens occupy a rarified space in Democratic Party politics somewhere between They/Thems and Hamas terrorists, being an illegal is an asset. <br /><br />Espaillat’s badge of honor or dishonor ended when Rep. Robert Garcia, the former mayor of Long Beach, became the first gay former illegal alien in Congress, and being a gay former illegal alien comes with more identity politics points than just being a former illegal alien. <br /><br />Rep. Adriano Espaillat (pictured above) had more problems than that because his claim to illegal alien fame was debatable even before Garcia. 2016 was a big year for former illegal aliens running for Congress. In that same election cycle as Espaillat, there was also Rep. Ruben Kihuen who claimed to be “the first formerly undocumented immigrant elected to the U.S. Congress”. <br /><br />Who was the real first former illegal alien in Congress? To answer the question, you would probably have to check the order in which Espaillat and Kihuen’s elections were called or the order in which they were sworn in. The race to be the first illegal in the House may not have gone to the fastest man, but the man with the least fast hands because while Espaillat remained in office, Kihuen was accused of propositioning and groping his finance director. <br /><br />And then another woman. Who would have thought an illegal alien would act that way? <br /><br />Rep. Nancy Pelosi ordered Rep. Kihuen to quit because while there’s room for illegal aliens in Congress, there’s no room for gropers or sexual harassers unless they’re the 42nd or 46th president of the United States. The first or second illegal alien alleged groper in Congress then transitioned to the Fundacion Casa de Los Migrantes, got a radio show and denounced ICE. <br /><br />Rep. Espaillat, the second or first illegal alien, has been pulling his own open borders publicity stunts, demanding access to ICE facilities, and has introduced anti-ICE legislation which is at least more understandable for him than it is for much of the Democratic Party. <br /><br />Even with Rep. Kihuen gone, Rep. Garcia came in to make sure that Congress has a quorum of at least two illegal aliens and three former illegal aliens. And the rate they’re going, there will eventually be enough to form a caucus. For now both former illegal aliens are part of the House New Americans Caucus alongside Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has been accused of immigration fraud, but at least doesn’t proudly announce it in her press releases. <br /><br />Then there are also the illegal alien congressional staffers and campaign people. <br /><br />An illegal alien who worked as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Deputy Communication Director made headlines this year when he <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/08/us-news/aoc-former-staffer-diego-de-la-vega-self-deports-to-colombia/">announced</a> that he was self-deporting. If others follow suit, AOC might actually have to start hiring Americans. <br /><br />Erika Andiola, an illegal alien who received a DACA stay through Obama’s illegal amnesty, worked as a staffer for Rep. Kyrsten Sinema and as a Latino outreach figure in the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The campaign had already hired Cesar Vargas, the first illegal alien to get a law license in New York, suggesting that the Sanders campaign staffs up like a contractor weeks behind on the job swinging by Home Depot for a bucket and three illegals. <br /><br />But once you leave D.C., it’s not hard to find even more former illegal aliens holding public office. And some continue getting into trouble for more than just immigration violations. <br /><br />Maybe being one kind of illegal predisposes them to other kinds of illegal acts as well. <br /><br />Front Page Magazine<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/boston-muslim-illegal-alien-councilwoman-replaces-july-4th-before-going-to-prison/"> recently reported on the case </a>of Councilwoman Tania Fernandes Anderson, a Muslim former illegal alien who became a citizen in 2019, was elected to Boston’s City Council in 2021, and by 2024, was arrested and indicted in a kickback scheme. She was finally forced to resign in July 2025, but not before councilmembers backed her resolution to make July in Boston Cabo Verdean Heritage Month and a time “to recognize and to celebrate the independence of Cabo Verde.” Perhaps for America’s sake, Tania should have stayed there. <br /><br />We<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/ex-illegal-alien-senator-suspected-of-bribery-leads-californias-insurance/"> also reported on</a> California State Sen. Susan Rubio, who chairs the Senate Insurance Committee, and is reportedly under FBI investigation on suspicion of bribery. Sen. Rubio and her sister, Assemblywoman Bianca Rubio, were from a family that were deported as children. Sen. Rubio recently claimed that she still carries her passport out of fear of being deported. <br /><br />Considering the reported investigation, deportation is probably not what Sen. Rubio should fear most. But Sen. Rubio knows all the angles. The Rubio political sister act got its start when Sen. Rubio accused her ex-husband Assemblyman Roger Hernandez of abuse, and her sister became Assemblywoman Bianca Rubio after taking his seat. Truly an inspiration to all. <br /><br />Many of the states with major illegal alien problems also have illegal aliens serving in higher office. Obama’s illegal ‘DACA’ amnesty led to a number of illegal alien ‘dreamers’ running for public office. New Mexico’s State Senator Cindy Nava, a former aide to Sen. Lujan, became one of the first illegal aliens to get a presidential appointment in the Biden administration. Luis Mata, an illegal alien running for the House in Tennessee, lost his race, but in much more liberal New York, Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz became the first elected illegal alien in New York. <br /><br />In Georgia, Maria Palacios, a former DACA illegal alien, ran for office three times, “to be a voice for undocumented residents”, and her ‘citizenship’ status resulted in an extended legal battle. The citizenship pathway from the illegal Obama measure has created citizens of dubious status and once the rule of law is restored and DACA is found to have been an illegal abuse of power, a number of ‘elected officials’ will potentially have their illegal alien status restored to them. <br /><br />The only question is how many of them will be in the Senate, the House or the White House.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span> </p><p></p><p></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
