The Dems think -- or at least they tell us, non-stop -- that this is all so much hooey. It’s not. It’s substantial.
For a start, Joe Biden and his son Hunter should have gone to jail for it. At the very least Biden should not have won the 2020 election, because of the gross interference, or if he had, he should have had to resign.
Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 for the “crime” of hiding the break-in to the Watergate building. Which was a bunch of bumblers trying to find Oppo dirt on the Dems, at the then Democratic National Convention. IOW, he resigned not for the crime but for hiding the crime.
In the case of Joe and Hunter, they not only did the crime -- by all the evidence in the “Laptop from Hell” -- but they hid it as well. And yet are walking free. Joe is even still president of the United States. Or so some say. Or so it is alleged. Or so it is believed be some in the media.
What about the 51 Intelligence chiefs, past and present, who signed the now infamous letter saying that the Hunter Laptop was Russian Disinformation? They knew it wasn’t. They knew it. They lied. It affected the 2020 election. Why are they all still free? Why are they still on “respectable” media outlets like CNN, still pontificating, instead of rotting in jail?
So the White House staffer who demanded Facebook censor information is now Kamala's Deputy Campaign Manager? Interesting... | ||

Not that she’s only worked on the conservative side. Most will remember her for her time at Fox. But she’s also been an anchor on NBC and the abc.
And now, here she is with her own show. Crushing it. Crushing her liberal competitors.
Some numbers for latest views on YouTube, for July 2024:
As Megyn says: “we’re crushing it”. Twice the BBC numbers; 100 million more than CNBC.
Click here to hear Megyn break these numbers down some more. And to tell us that “the audiences are onto the bullshit that is on mainstream press” and “This sea change cannot and will not be undone”. And -- to previous employer NBC -- “fuck you if you wanted me gone!”. On ‘ya Megs!
Liberals live in a cocoon. Conservatives don’t.
Why?
Because all the media that’s around us is liberal. There’s only one that’s not and that’s Fox. Which libs won’t watch.
If you’re a conservative, you know what the liberal views are, because they’re there, all around you. It’s the water in which we fish swim, without even realising that it’s water. It’s just there. But you also know the conservative view. Because you’re a conservative. You watch it on Fox, and search it out on the socials.
That’s not the same the other way around. Because if you’re liberal, you’re told that all you need to know is on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, BBC, the The New York Times, Washington Post and so on. And you’re told “never, ever, ever go to Fox, it’s dangerous and wrong and evil and misinformation and... and... ”. So, you never learn the alternative view. You never learn the conservative view.
Conservatives know there are bubbles and more or less what each one is. Liberals don’t even know they’re in a bubble. Therefore it’s impregnable. Un-pobbaple. It’s an impregnable bubble.

“Israel this morning [25 August] foiled Hezbollah’s planned barrage of thousands of drones and missiles on the entirety of the country. Was this the response from Iran that everyone was expecting or is there more to come? Should Israel now make strategic adjustments? We’ll discuss all this and more on today’s episode”.
We need some good ol’ mockery of pretentious political thingies. And this is it, for the DNC.
A good speech. Longish, but spot on, in so many ways, in the criticism of the abandonment of principles by the Dems. Click above for the video |
The main independent candidate drops out and endorses Trump. He explains why.
I admire Robert Kennedy Jr, though disagree with a lot of his policies.
Still, he strikes me as a man of integrity. And his concern with the health of the nation, the health of young Americans, is admirable and he knows a lot about it. He’s also big on Free Speech. Listen to his criticisms of the modern Dem party. How it’s gone corrupt, how it’s restricted Free Speech. How it’s been bought by Big Pharma.
If we wonder why CNN is so insanely and openly pro-Dem, so hateful against Trump, the answer is in the advertising on CNN. In the US it’s all from the Big Pharma companies. Who Do Not Want any challenge to their monopoly and the trillion dollar markets for their meds. True, dat.
Just yesterday I’d listened to a podcast of Adam Carolla talking to JFK Jr’s Veep candidate, Nicole Shanahan. It’s a great talk. A “triumph of Common Sense”. From the two of them. A really good talk.
If Kennedy could work with Trump to improve the health of Americans, especially young Americans, that would really be a legacy.

In short: beacause Gazans -- and “Palestinians” more broadly -- have been too radical. Too destabilising. Too much of a threat to any host country they’ve ever moved to.
These Arabs countries have the experience of “Palestinian” refugees in Jordan and Lebanon. In both the outcome was bad. In Jordan the Kingdom was threatened before they kicked them out. And they went to Lebanon. Where they have established Hezbollah as an alternative government. And ruined a once prosperous and peaceful society.
But Australia is now taking in record number of Gazan refugees. Which is causing a ruckus there. Also. Also. Also. We’re taking about ten times as many as any other western country, including the United States. Aussie ex-Muslim Harris Sultan lays into PM Albanese for letting in these undocumented and unvetted likely-Hamas-niks. Which Albanese has done on purpose. Almost It is a crime.
Why are we doing this? Because they are a hook into voters for the Labor Party in Muslim majority areas surrounding Sydney. At a time when the balance between the two parties, Labor and Liberal, is fine. So, they do it for electoral reasons. They’re putting the security of Australia at risk for tawdry electoral benefit.
=====================
My earlier posts on why Arab states don’t accept Gazan refugees, or any “Palestinian” refugees:
(PS: I’ve started to put “Palestinian” in quotes because it’s a term that was hijacked by Yasser Arafat back in the sixties. Before that, and since the time of the Romans, Palestinian referred to the people of Palestine, which was always the Jews. There has never been a state of Palestine. It’s time the term was reclaimed. Just as the term “West Bank” ought to be ditched in favour of the more correct Judea and Samaria.)
Alan Dershowitz is a lifetime Democrat who voted for every Dem president from Bill Clinton to Hillary Clinton.
He’s also 50-year Harvard Law professor emeritus. Top of his class at Harvard and youngest ever law professor at Harvard. Barack Obama was a neighbour and friend.
In other words, a man of the Left, and hugely accomplished.
Here he goes of on the Democratic National Convention, currently on in Chicago. For ditching Israel, its main ally in the Middle East.
"DNC speakers prove hard left turn for Harris party”
And... at the DNC Kamala Harris has announced two crazy policies (at least):
1. Price caps (aka “anti-corporate-gouging”). Which have never worked and have only led to shortages and black markets.
2. A tax of unrealised capital gains. This again has never worked. It would lead to a massive crush of the stock market and likely to as massive economic down-spiral. A tax like this would bankrupt half the companies in the US.
And, also, less crazy, but still pretty crazy: an increase in corporate tax, when corporates are still reeling from post-covid recovery.
The Most PSYCHOTIC Thing Democrats Want.
And it’s not just the conservatives like Shapiro having a go at her. Even Democratic economists are criticising them.
And what the Democrats have pledged to do if they gain control of presidency, Senate and House. Proposals that will entrench a Democratic government forever. A one-party state, IOW.
Friends in Israel tell us they’re safe and ask us if I'm “crossing fingers” for Israel.
For sure I think of them. Often. For sure I think of Israel. Often. For sure I stand with Israel. All the time. I’m a huge Zionist, a Goy-atheist Zionist. A philosemite, a Judeophile. Conversely, I hate the barbarians of Hamas. With good knowledge about them, about what they stand for, about their world view, about their Jew-hatred. (I first wrote about HAMAS on this blog fifteen years ago, on 27 July 2009, in “Jerusalem United”. By then I’d already read quite a lot about them. Enough to know they’re today’s Nazis. Only worse).
So, sure, I’m very happy my friends are well and safe and of course I “cross fingers” for Israel.
Though it does seem to me that “crossing fingers” is a bit of an odd thought. From two folks that don’t believe in superstition and one a scientist, to boot.
I get it. It’s just a saying. Meaning: "wish the best for us". Which I do. We do; this family does.
But more than “crossing fingers”. I have faith in Israel. I have faith in its ability to defend itself. I have faith in its leadership. I have faith in its military.
What I don’t have faith in, is the support from the United States. Which is supposed to be Israel’s strongest ally. But this Biden administration has acted so irresolute, so prevaricating, so flip-flopping, that it’s harmed Israel’s capacity to defeat Hamas. Had Biden been more resolute from the beginning of this Gaza war, it would have been over months ago.
But things could get worse. Hamas head Yahya Sinwar has said he thinks they can “get on better” with a Kamala Harris administration. Imagine: that the enemy of your oldest and supposed-to-be best ally in the Middle East thinks they’d rather deal with you than with your opponent. Props to Hamas for having you so bamboozled, Kamala!
The US is holding Israel back from a pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah. Where the longer we wait and prevaricate the more rockets Hezbollah put in Southern Lebanon, aimed at Israeli civilians.
In my mind I’ve been blaming the US for holding Israel back from a pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah. Or against the head of the octopus, Iran, as Alan Dershowitz has suggested.
Still, it turns out there are people more expert than me who say that there will be no attack on Hezbollah this year. Because the deterrence has already been achieved by what the IDF have done in Gaza.
I’m quoting here Yonah Jeremy Bob in the Jerusalem Post: "Why there will be no mega-war in the North with Hezbollah, at least this year “.
Yonah Jeremy Bob is an author and Israeli-based journalist who has worked at The Jerusalem Post since 2012 and currently serves as senior military correspondent, intelligence analyst and Literary Editor.[1] He frequently lectures in Israel and the United States on security, spy wars, diplomacy and politics. [Link]
The Jerusalem Post is Centre-right. But I trust it on Israel issues more than Haaretz, a Left-wing paper. In an unfriendly and tough region like the Middle East, you can’t afford to be a “nice liberal”. You need toughies, like Benjamin Netanyahu. And papers like the Jerusalem Post, who report robustly from the Right. And don’t hate on Israel’s war-time leader, Bibi. And don’t hate on Israel itself.
Yonah Jeremy Bob says:
The conventional wisdom since late winter has been that war between Israel and Hezbollah is imminent and that there is no other way to return Israel’s 60,000 still evacuated northern residents to their homes.After a series of high-level defense briefings in the late winter, I became convinced, and I still maintain, based on ongoing briefings (and have been right for around six months), that the mega war between Jerusalem and Beirut is not going to happen during this current conflict.
In two to five years, quite possibly or even likely – but not a few months ago, not now, and not in the coming months.
Cross fingers.
======================
ADDED: The “Gaza Ceasefire”. That the Dems are desperate for. Didn’t happen. Predictably. And it didn’t happen, yet again, nor because Israel refused it. But because Hamas refused it. Didn’t even turn up in Doha for the negotiations. And yet, as I write this, the Democratic National Convention is going on in Chicago and the criticism is all of Israel. All the crowds outside, all the demonstrators, all the AOC-types, all are hating on Israel, not on Hamas.
That ought to tell you everything you need to know about the Dem's commitment to supporting the democratic state of Israel over the barbaric state of Hamas. They cover for Hamas.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Kamala Harris impersonator Estee Palti to discuss how she went viral on TikTok impersonating Kamala Harris, the absurdity of the way Harris talks and her total lack of authenticity, the keys to the impression including the laugh and the repeated phrases that don't mean anything, why the left doesn't want to make fun of Harris, and more.
Meanwhile, Democrats both past and present call Kamala “economically illiterate” especially for her “price control” / “anti-gouging” policies. On PBS, no less!

The point that Eli Ezra and friend make has been made often: that Hamas use children as human shields. They put them in front of infrastructure to protect the infrastructure from the IDF. That’s been called “The Dead Baby Strategy”, which they rename the strategy of “Tactical Civilian Sacrifice”.
It’s revolting. It should repulse everyone.
I posted about this in May and June, and referred to articles back in 2009.
So it’s been known about for decades. Yet nothing happens because liberal elites in the West prefer to hate on Israel, rather than hating on Hamas. Lefties hate Israel and the West more than they hate the Jihadist, the infanticidal, the genocidal, the jew-hating, the west-hating, the homophobic, the misogynist, the supremacist, the dictatorial, the HAMAS.
Bibi said recently at his speech to the US Congress:
“Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. Our victory will be your victory”.
All true. But the Left does not at all accept it. They hate Israel and they hate the West (because).
And thus any “Tactical civilian sacrifice”, the “Dead Baby strategy”, is ignored. And all civilian deaths blamed on Israel. If you say otherwise, you’re the bigot. You’re the one supporting “Israeli genocide in Gaza”. Got it?

“Islam needs a reform." "Allah assigned the Holy Land to the Jews". "From the River to the Sea should be banned."Ollie Anisfeld and Loay Al-Shareef have a conversation about Israel, Islam, Judaism and creating lasting peace between Jews and Arabs. They speak about both the political and theological issues surrounding the Middle East conflict. A fascinating discussion.

The White House is pressuring Israel to throw in the towel, but will Bibi give in to the unprecedented pressure? While it may seem as if America is trying to protect Israel from an attack, the truth is that the Biden administration is also containing Israel and preventing a victory. This is in direct contradiction to Trump’s successful policy in the region. We’ll discuss all this and more on today’s Caroline Glick In Focus episode.

I can criticise all I like the tenets of Islam. If you do so under the new Labour government of Sir Keir Starmer, you end up in jail.
Really!
Starmer quickly earnered new nick names. “Two Tier Keir” for his support of policing that treats thugs from minority communities way more leniently than the native-born whites. “Keir Jung-un” and "Keir Stalin” for his authoritarianism.
A couple of vids:
Dan Wooton:
Quotes Christopher Hitchins: “Resist it while you can”. Talking of censorship. And predicting that it would become illegal to criticise Islam, which is a belief system, an ideology, and which has come to pass with the words of Keir Starmer in the video.
Malleus Communismi
With references to Peter Hitchens warnings about Keir Starmer’s far-left history and practice. He was a senior member of various pro-Soviet and pro-Marxist orgs.
This also looks at Tony Blair, who was responsible for the devolution of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all of which has been clearly to the poverty of the United Kingdom. Made it worse, IOW. And for the mass immigration that the UK suffers now, hugely, widely, consistently, opposed by around three quarters of the population. That was down to Blair. And setting up the Supreme Court, which has made it more difficult to enact and enable legislation to deal with the problems he created. Crafty Tony.
It should go without saying that all violent disorder which endangers lives and destroys property is unacceptable. There is no excuse that justifies riots, attacks on citizens, property damage and arson. This red line applies to all individuals or groups on the political spectrum from far right to far left and just as much to all ethnic and religious minorities regardless of their numbers or social status. It tears at the social fabric and destroys the trust which is necessary for common flourishing. Unfortunately, the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer did not say this in his statement on the developments.
The Prime Minister decided instead to single out what he calls "far-right" and made a point of stressing the need to keep Muslims and minority communities safe.
Imagine there's no countriesIt isn't hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion, too
We need to talk about today’s critical mass of unimpressive “experts.”
Just a week or so back, at the end of July, Columbia and UCLA law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw — the founder of “intersectional” theory — took to Twitter/X to argue a point. As she passionately put it: “Black women make up less than 10% of the population, yet when it comes to killings by police, we make up a 3rd of them, with the majority unarmed. And that’s exactly what happened with Sonya Massey. #SayHerName.” This post, so far, has received 1,800 likes and has been shared 1,200 times.
The only problem here is that Crenshaw is wildly, almost bizarrely wrong.
This reminds me of a candidate for a Federal Judgeship, saying that her quoted comment that “there is a killing by police of an unarmed Black man, every day in the United States”, which is wildly inaccurate -- there are in fact about one per month. But she simply responded that she was representing a client, and this was a “rhetorical statement”. IOW, truth be blowed.
The idea that police are out to kill Black people, from the moment they get up in the morning has been debunked many times. Including by a Black Harvard professor, Roland Fryer. But is simply ignored. It’s the “my-side” bias. What doesn’t agree with my side, I discount.

There’s a target-rich environment, bit disarray in the GOP.
The GOP neeeds to get its act together super fast.
A very interesting talk with a talk show guy I’ve never heard of before.
Arabs and Jews fled. Only the Arabs still claim refugee status |
The main point: in 1948, the Arabs living in the land that was to be called “Israel”, were told by their Arab neighbours to flee, so that they, the Arab armies, could be left free to slaughter the Jews. The local Arabs -- now called “Palestinians” -- would then be allowed to return. In triumph, presumably.
That never happened, because the Arab armies lost to the newly-born Israel Defence Forces.
And the Arabs have never got over it. And never forgiven the Jews. Whose initial “error” was to laugh at Muhammd, way back when he was just a budding saviour and warlord.
You don’t get to rewrite history because you lost. The post I did back then, which remains relevant:
“11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date,…”
“compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;”
“The Arab exodus, initially, at least, was encouraged by many Arab leaders, such as Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem exiled by the British for siding with the Germans in WWII, and by the Arab Higher Committee for Palestine. They viewed the first wave of Arab setbacks as merely transitory. Let Palestine Arabs flee into neighboring countries. It would serve to arouse the other Arab peoples to greater effort, and when the Arab invasion struck, the Palestinians could be compensated with the property of Jews driven into the sea.” Kenneth Bilby, an American correspondent covering Palestine during the war. (1940- “New Star in the Near East”, New York, 1950, pp. 30-31)
And:
“I do not want to impugn anybody but only to help the refugees. The fact that there are these refugees is the direct consequence of the Arab States in opposing partition and the Jewish State. The Arab States agreed upon this policy unanimously, and they must share in the solution of the problem.” Emil Ghoury, Secretary of the Arab Higher Committee, the official leader of the Palestinian Arabs, in a Beirut newspaper, also reported in the Daily Telegraph on September 6, 1948.
“The Arab civilians panicked and fled ignominiously. Villages were frequently abandoned before they were threatened by the progress of war.” General Glubb Pasha (the British officer who helped build the Transjordanian Army) wrote this in the London Daily Mail (August 12, 1948).
“The Arab Exodus …was not caused by the actual battle, but by the exaggerated description spread by the Arab leaders to incite them to fight the Jews. …For the flight and fall of the other villages it is our leaders who are responsible because of their dissemination of rumors exaggerating Jewish crimes and describing them as atrocities in order to inflame the Arabs ... By spreading rumors of Jewish atrocities, killings of women and children etc., they instilled fear and terror in the hearts of the Arabs in Palestine, until they fled leaving their homes and properties to the enemy.” – The Jordanian daily newspaper Al Urdun, April 9, 1953.
“The Arab governments told us: Get out so that we can get in. So we got out, but they did not get in.” A refugee quoted in Al Difaa (Jordan) September 6, 1954.
“The wholesale exodus was due partly to the belief of the Arabs, encouraged by the boasting of an unrealistic press and the irresponsible utterances of some of the Arab leaders that it could be only a matter of some weeks before the Jews were defeated by the armies of the Arab states, and the Palestinian Arabs enabled to re-enter and re-take possession of the country.” – Edward Atiyah (Secretary of the Arab League, London, The Arabs, 1955, p. 183)
“The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny, but instead they abandoned them, forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland, imposed upon them a political and ideological blockade and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live in Eastern Europe.“The Arab states succeeded in scattering the Palestinian people and in destroying their unity. They did not recognize them as a unified people until the states of the world did so, and this is regrettable.” – The Current President of the Palestinian authority- Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas), from the official journal of the PLO, Falastin el-Thawra (“What We Have Learned and What We Should Do”), Beirut, March 1976, reprinted in the Wall Street Journal, June 5,2003.
