Normal New Yorkers demand NY Times retract their "dog rape" propaganda garbage and fire Nicholas Kristof

An Egyptian national has been handed a life sentence for firebombing a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado. In that attack last June, a Holocaust survivor was tragically killed. Karol Markowicz, a Fox News columnist, has drawn attention to the surge of anti-Semitism now visible across the United States, especially in the blue states, where violent attacks have multiplied. Her observations come in the wake of fresh clashes between an anti-Israel mob and the NYPD outside a New York City synagogue.

In New York, protesters gathered on Thursday outside the headquarters of former newspaper and current rag, The New York Times. 

Their outrage was directed at a ludicrous opinion piece by the anti-Semitic lunatic columnist Nicholas Kristof. 

The piece contained lurid allegations of serial sexual abuse by Israelis against Palestinian detainees. The article presented the testimony of men and women who alleged "brutal sexual abuse at the hands of Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators." Among the bogus bizarre claims were that Palestinians "had their genitals yanked or were beaten on the testicles," that "some men had to have their testicles amputated by doctors," and that metal batons were used to rape men. No victims came forth, no evidence exists.

Kristof further reported that a Gaza journalist claimed he was "mounted" by a dog, before adding that "Other Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors have also cited reports of police dogs being coached to rape prisoners." Again, no evidence was provided and the idea that Israelis would put themselves in such a tenuous public position is not merely disgusting and crazy, it's illogical.

The article met with immediate and fierce backlash from readers and from the Israeli government, which has threatened legal action against The Times. Commentators have rightly questioned the piece, noting that several of those interviewed by Kristof maintained ties to Hamas or to anti-Israel activism.

The controversy soon spilled onto the streets. Only two days after publication, protesters assembled outside The New York Times building, demanding a retraction and, in some cases, the dismissal of Kristof himself. Many in the gathering were understandably livid.

Protesters stood inside NYPD barricades holding signs that read "Shame on The New York Times for publishing anti-Zionist libels" and "The New York Times: All the blood libel that's fit to print." They chanted for a retraction. Many carried Israeli and American flags, some of them combined in a single banner.

"All the sh*t that fits, they print."

The protest had come together with remarkable speed. Ramon Maislen told Fox News Digital that the effort was organized over WhatsApp in less than forty-eight hours. "The group came together and in 48 hours we are making this happen," he said. "I think it's really important because we've got to get the word out that when you create libel against people, it ends up having violence against them, and we're trying to avoid that."

The demonstrators were angered not only by the content but by the timing. They saw the piece as a deliberate attempt to overshadow reports on the sexual violence suffered by victims of the October 7 massacre. 

One organizer, Jayne Zirkle, Director of Communications and Outreach for The Lawfare Project, made the point plainly. "They published a slanderous article against Israel, and they did this just a day before the October 7th rape report came out," she said. "They want to take away from the horrible sexual abuse that the October 7th victims endured, and we are demanding retraction. We're demanding better journalism."

Adam Louis-Klein, founder of the Movement Against Anti-Zionism, went further. He argued that the article portrayed Israelis as uniquely barbaric and placed Jews everywhere in danger. "It's a racist, defamatory libel. It's meant to make all Israelis look evil and bestial," he said.

Zach Sage Fox, a pro-Israel influencer who addressed the crowd, accused Kristof of relying on "Hamas sources and propaganda to the point of insanity." "They actually have to make up blood libels from the medieval times to paint a picture of the Jews," Fox told Fox News Digital. He warned that even a retraction would come too late, given how widely the claims had already spread. Fox also recalled The Times' own shameful record during the Holocaust. In 2001, on the paper's 150th anniversary, its former Executive Editor Max Frankel described its coverage of the genocide as "the century's bitterest journalistic failure." "History repeats itself, and now, it's reposting itself," Fox observed. He called for Kristof to be fired at once, along with anyone else involved in approving the piece.

The Times declined to comment to Fox News Digital. It has instead issued statements defending the article. Spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander insisted that Kristof's work was "backed by independent studies" and rejected any suggestion of retraction. A later statement claimed that the columnist had relied on "on-the-record accounts" and cited "several analyses documenting the practice of sexual violence and abuse conducted by various parts of Israel's security forces and settlers."

Kristof himself has acknowledged in the piece that there "is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes." He has continued to defend his reporting online, including the section concerning dogs. Yet a canine behaviour expert, Michael S. Gould, told National Review that the notion of training dogs to rape prisoners was "absurd." "I’ve trained dogs to do a lot of things in my life. But no, that’s absurd," he said. "It’s absurd for many reasons: the sexual instincts of dogs, their anatomy, the actual physical concept of it."

This episode is a symptom of something deeper: the return of the blood libel in respectable Western guise, dressed up as opinion and granted the platform of a once-great newspaper. The protesters outside The Times understood what was at stake. When institutions of influence traffic in such falsehoods, they do not merely damage Israel. They license violence against Jews everywhere.

Tim Walz wants us to fund college tuition for illegal aliens

Kamala Harris' VP choice, Tim "Fake War Vet" Walz supported the plan to give illegal aliens free tuition at Minnesota colleges where native Minnesotans, and other Americans, pay their own tuition while they also pay taxes that would go to pay tuition for the people who flood into this country illegally. 

This is how communism works and this is one example of how people don't want to accept it and why so many died fighting against it.

Walz signed the measure into law as governor in 2023.

According to a report from the SCRIPPS News, in 2023 an omnibus education bill that was signed into law by Walz, the "North Star Promise" program allowed for illegal aliens to apply for free college tuition within the Minnesota State and University of Minnesota school systems if their families make less than $80,000 a year.

Meanwhile, the suckers who pay for this via their taxes, get nothing in return other than a feeling of being screwed by a corrupt government.

A summary by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education says the North Star Promise "program will create a tuition and fee-free pathway to higher education for eligible Minnesota residents at eligible institutions as a 'last-dollar' program by covering the balance of tuition and fees remaining after other scholarships, grants, stipends and tuition waivers have been applied."

But that's not all. Walz also signed a bill giving illegal aliens driver's licenses, perhaps so that they can vote for the Santa Claus Party that is generous with other people's money.

 “Ensuring drivers in our state are licensed and carry insurance makes the roads safer for all Minnesotans," the stolen valor governor said as per the National Review.

How does having a driver's license make the roads safer? Not driving drunk or drugged makes the roads safer and there have been too many instances where illegal aliens have been guilty of both crimes, not to mention the other crimes we've seen committed by some of them.

Walz is further to the left than the leftist Vice President and he is a serial liar and a coward. He never served in Iraq nor carried "weapons of war" in battle. He left the National Guard and his men two years before his contract was up because he didn't want to go to war. 

Still he pretends he served in battle. He's as bad as Connecticut Sen. Dick Blumenthal who lied claiming he served in Vietnam.

Gov. DeWine finds political winds are blowing the other way so he walks back his support of trans surgeries

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine (RINO) made the GOP have a cow last week after he vetoed a bill that was designed to protect children from having their genitals mutilated and other "gender affirming care" such as using chemical castration drugs or removing their breasts.

Republicans from across the country criticized him for his woke stance, and while we don't know if he walked back his veto due to pressure, we do know he has no sense of morality or ethics. In any case, DeWine ended up walking it all back and he signed an “emergency” executive order Friday banning transgender surgeries on minors. 

Unfortunately for the naive minors in Ohio that was just about the only thing that was banned. The original bill put forth by the Republican majorities in the legislature went well beyond genital mutilation and drugging kids, so the Ohio trans movement remains alive. 

[H/T National Review]

So not only did the Republican bill dubbed the SAFE Act end gender mutilation of children, it also prohibited physicians from prescribing cross-sex hormones or puberty-blocking medicine [you know, the castration elixir aforementioned] for children. 

Even more, the bill banned men from competing against women in sports, a situation that in many cases have resulted in life-changing incidents and in others where mediocre athletic men grabbed world records and trophies against top women in the sport.

At least the new order would bar physicians from performing gender-transition surgeries, such as mastectomies and hysterectomies, on kids in Ohio’s hospitals and health-care facilities, and boys can take their balls and go home.

For now, do not believe a word this RINO governor says when explaining what he stands for. He stands for Mike DeWine and he needs to be primaried in the next Ohio gubernatorial election.

Trump's tax returns reveals a lot about the Democrats

The Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee loaded their guns and shot their load in the final days they remain in the majority to release six years of tax returns connected to former president Donald J. Trump. It turns out, their guns were loaded with blanks, unlike that of Alec Baldwin.

The committee Republicans condemned this unprecedented move because that's what they do in banana-republics, but the Democrats are as shameless as Whoopi Goldberg at a bar mitzvah.

Dick Neal (D-MA) the committee chairman put most of the blame on the IRS for failing to audit Trump enough when he was president. As hard as the Democrats tried to illegally leak Trump's tax returns [a felony] it took them this long to get their felonious-like wish granted and now the returns are public and this sets a terrible precedent which should, therefore, allow the public to see Joe and Hunter Biden's tax returns. All is fair in love and politics.

Regarding Trump's tax returns, according to expert auditors, his return is incredibly complicated, and that is totally understandable. But in order to show fraud, one needs a full audit, not a mere tax return and that doesn't even show net worth, just tax income or loss in a given year.

Ryan Ellis wrote in the National Review, "[T]ax returns are supposed to be secret, and revealed only voluntarily. Reading tax returns forcibly extracted from any taxpayer made me feel dirty, and a little sad for the integrity of the tax system going forward. But there is no smoking gun here, nothing that will finally “get Trump.” Nonetheless, below is a report of what I found."

Ellis then goes on to describe what he saw: dozens of individual ventures organized as its own LLC such as the "old Trump hotel in D.C., each Trump golf course, etc."

Other revelations show that Trump gave a lot of money to charity, [unlike Joe Biden]. He also loaned money to his children and they paid him back with interest that was rounded off. Terrible--he should go to prison for that and serve a life sentence, unlike Sam Bankman-Fried, who you might imagine will get a legal slap on the wrist because of his huge donations to the Democratic Party.

It turns out that Trump's tax returns easily adds up to over 1,000 pages of annual filed tax returns, not even including the LLCs.

But it's fake news to think that Trump was getting away with paying no taxes.

Ellis explains that from 2015 to 2020, Trump paid federal profit and "other" (e.g. self-employment, household employer, etc.) taxes every single year. In those years, Trump had a cumulative "total tax" of $4.4 million, ranging from $285 thousand in 2017 to a high of $2.1 million in 2018. The best indicator of tax liability, Ellis says, is the "total tax" line, which accounts for federal income tax and "all the things that proxy for federal income tax on a 1040.

Suffice it to say that Trump did not do anything anyone else in a similar situation would not do. Ellis describes him as a man who likes to create new ventures, perhaps make a profit, and then move on to another venture.

To the utter dismay of the Democrats, his returns were not fraudulent. Trump, over the years, created myriad businesses, some of which had lost money, cancelling out those that made profit. The tax burdens all fall upon the shoulders of the business owner. If you think Trump should pay more, than you must also think that a person's business losses should offset his business profits, and that is totally unfair.

So, like the "fine people" hoax and the "drink bleach" hoax, this entire exercise by the party of the jackass was another total fake news hoax.

Lawyers for CT high school female runners ask judge to recuse after forbidding them to call trans athletes 'male'

Selina Soule and Alana Smith Photo: Alliance Defending Freedom/Screen grab

If President Donald Trump said he now identifies as a woman, would the left refer to him as the first female President of the United States? I think you can guess the answer to that question.

But attorneys representing three biological female high school runners who are attempting to bar biological males from competing against them filed a motion Saturday calling for the judge in the case to recuse himself after forbidding the attorneys from referring to the boys who think they are girls as "males," in spite of the fact they have XY chromosomes and were born with penises and testicles.

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed suit in February against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) on behalf of three girls: Selina Soule, Alana Smith, and Chelsea Mitchell.

[H/T: National Review]

The suit challenges the CIAC policy allowing students to compete in the division that goes along with their gender identity [which is based on a psychological disorder known as Gender Dysphoria] on the grounds that it disadvantages women in violation of the Title IX prohibition against discrimination on the “basis of sex.”

It also gives an obvious biological advantage to guys competing as gals. Males, in general, are born with more muscle mass, more fast-twitch musculature, and overall strength than females--that's simply a provable, scientific fact.

During an April 16 conference call, progressive Judge Robert Chatigny chastised the ADF attorneys for referring to the male athletes seeking to compete in the women’s division as “males,” according to a transcript of the call obtained by National Review.

Chatigny:

What I’m saying is you must refer to them as “transgender females” rather than as “males.” Again, that’s the more accurate terminology, and I think that it fully protects your client’s legitimate interests. [Technically, Chatigny is wrong. The more accurate term would be "gender dysphoric males."] Referring to these individuals as “transgender females” is consistent with [pseudo]science, common practice and perhaps human decency. {Since when is going along with someone's mental illness a form of 'human decency'?] To refer to them as “males,” period, is not accurate, certainly not as accurate, and I think it’s needlessly provocative. I don’t think that you surrender any legitimate interest or position if you refer to them as transgender females. That is what the case is about. This isn’t a case involving males who have decided that they want to run in girls’ events. This is a case about girls who say that transgender girls should not be allowed to run in girls’ events. So going forward, we will not refer to the proposed intervenors as “males”; understood?

Actually, the case is about high school boys, who were at best mediocre as male runners competing against their fellow fellows, now winning all their events as "males" running against real females based on their XX chromosomes and their female gear.

Roger Brooks, the lead attorney for ADF, pointed out that the biology of transgender athletes seeking to compete in the women’s division is obviously relevant to the case and, as such, his duty provide a vigorous defense of his clients’ interests required him to use the term “male.”

Brooks:

The entire focus of the case is the fact that the CIAC policy allows individuals who are physiologically, genetically male to compete in girls’ athletics. But if I use the term “females” to describe those individuals — and we’ve said in our opening brief, we’re happy to use their preferred names, because names are not the point to the case. Gender identity is not the point of this case. The point of this case is physiology of bodies driven by chromosomes and the documented athletic advantage that comes from a male body, male hormones, and male puberty in particular. So, Your Honor, I do have a concern that I am not adequately representing my client and I’m not accurately representing their position in this case as it has to be argued before Your Honor and all the way up if I refer to these individuals as “female,” because that’s simply, when we’re talking about physiology, that’s not accurate, at least in the belief of my clients.

And so too would it be just as ridiculous to refer to President Donald Trump as the first female president of the United States if he simply believed [or said] he was a woman, see him tweet.

Brooks further informed the judge that he was “not sure [he] could comply” with the prohibition against the use of “male,” and asked if he would be permitted to simply use “transgender” rather than “transgender females” when referring to the athletes – a request which the judge granted.

The Judge then stipulated that he didn’t want to “bully” the ADF attorneys but nevertheless felt that he had to draw a hard line with respect to the terminology used out of a concern for “human decency.”

So if a guy sees himself as a gal, we have to go along with it or we would be considered indecent because . . . that doesn't go along with the guy's delusion?

Chatigny:

So if you feel strongly that you and your clients have a right to refer to these individuals as “males” [because that's what they are] and that you therefore do not want to comply with my [silly] order, then that’s unfortunate. But I’ll give you some time to think about it and you can let me know if it’s a problem. If it is, gosh, maybe we’ll need to do something. I don’t want to bully you [into going along with my truth], but at the same time, I don’t want you to be bullying anybody else. Maybe you might need to take an application to the Court of Appeals. I don’t know. But I certainly don’t want to put civility at risk in this case.

It seems that the real bullying is by the Court's demanding the attorneys go along with the judge's leftist politics.

In the motion filed Saturday, the ADF attorneys argue that Chatigyny’s order is “legally unprecedented” and disrupts the appearance of impartiality.

The case centers on the participation of two mediocre transgender sprinters, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who have combined to win 15 girls indoor and outdoor championship events since 2017. The year prior to Miller and Yearwood’s participation against the females, the titles were held by ten different actual girls. The three plaintiffs have competed directly against Miller and Yearwood and have lost to them in nearly every case, but the guys are so mediocre that they have been beaten by the girls on occasion.

“It’s just really frustrating and heartbreaking, because we all train extremely hard to shave off just fractions of a second off of our time. And these athletes can do half the amount of work that we do, and it doesn’t matter,” Selina Soule told the Wall Street Journal. “We have no chance of winning.”

C'mon, girls--grow a pair.

Report: about a third of migrant caravan sick with HIV, TB, and chickenpox

Of the approximate 6,000 migrants gathered in Tijuana, Mexico, just south of our border near San Diego, over a third of them [2,267] are being treated for various illnesses such as serious respiratory infections, tuberculosis, chickenpox, and serious illnesses such as HIV, a spokesman for the Tijuana Health Department told Fox News.

Thousands of migrants diddy bopped and hitchhiked from Central America to the U.S. border over the last six weeks, spreading their germs all over the place. Three cases of TB have been confirmed, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four separate cases of chickenpox, the spokesman said.

No less than 101 migrants have lice and multiple instances of skin infections, the department’s data shows. It's suspected one may even have a case of the "Willies" and another with the "Creeping Crud."

And just for the heck of it, there’s also a threat of Hepatitis outbreak due to unsanitary conditions, the spokesman said.

The thousands of migrants are being sheltered at the Benito Juarez Sports Complex near the San Ysidro U.S.-Mexico Port of Entry, despite the place being capable of providing for 1,000 people and only has 35 portable toilets.

Benito Pablo Juárez Garcia (B. March 21, 1806; D. July 18, 1872) was a lawyer, a judge and former president of Mexico. Originally of Zapotec origin from Oaxaca, he was as poor as a church mouse, coming from a rural, indigenous background then who later became a well-educated politician and married a socially prominent woman of Oaxaca, City, Margarita Maza.

The mayor of Tijuana said Tuesday that the city can't afford to help the migrants that are there. “We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana,” Juan Manuel Gastelum said during a press conference. He noted that the city is spending about $30,000 a day to house and care for these people, many of whom are ungrateful and have complained about the beans. “We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem[o].” 

Hundreds of migrants stormed the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday, and the U.S. Border Patrol's top San Diego agent said they shoved women and children to the front of the mob to use as human shields, much like Hamas does in the Gaza Strip in order to win sympathy with the public.

"What we saw over and over yesterday was that the group – the caravan, as we call them – would push women and children to the front, and then begin, basically, rocking our agents,” Chief Patrol Agent Rodney Scott said in a Comedy News Network interview.

"Several agents were actually struck by rocks," Scott said, adding that three were injured.

And President Trump's warning that the caravan included violent criminals was proven true, too, making Jim Acosta look like a narcissistic fool.

"You're going to find MS-13, you're going to find Middle Eastern, you're going to find everything," Trump said last week.

"U.S. Border Patrol agents have arrested a member of the infamous Salvadoran MS-13 gang who admitted to authorities that he traveled with a caravan of Central American migrants who were hoping to qualify for asylum in America," National Review's Mairead McArdle reported.

The member of the notoriously brutal MS-13, which is responsible for numerous violent murders in the U.S. over the last thirty years, is 29-year-old Jose Villalobos-Jobel, a Honduran national scumcrumpet who was arrested Saturday evening in U.S. territory east of the Calexico Port of Entry, apparently preparing, or perhaps considering to kill puppies with his machete.

He admitted to agents that he traveled with the caravan with the intention of entering the country illegally.

Hopefully all the sick migrants will make a complete and speedy recovery and go back to their native countries.

'The View' has its view in its nether regions as Sunny Hostin goes berserk

Sunny Hostin: Winner of the Oprah
Lookalike Contest 2018

In a segment on ABC's "The View" leftist racist Sunny Hostin on Wednesday blew a gasket after she heard what Obama did to migrants and admitted she didn't care about the crappy treatment shown to them in the Obama era. She only cares what the Trump administration is doing.

The panel spoke about the recent incident in which tear gas was used on migrants because they were endangering the lives of our U.S. Border Patrol agents. Abby Huntsman and Meghan McCain, both conservatives of sorts, highlighted the hypocrisy of the media in how they covered the incident, largely ignoring even worse actions from Obama's administration.

Citing the conservative National Review, Whoopi Goldberg, one of the most intelligent leftists on "The View" pointed out that the NR argued that when President Obama tear-gassed illegal immigrants crossing the border, no one made a fuss like they are doing now in the media. But co-host Joy Behar, a non-Mensa member, was reticent to believe that Obama did such a thing. This has to do with Behar's lack of knowing anything.

"Do they have a photo like that when Obama was in office?" Behar asked while showing a picture of a woman running from tear gas with her two kids.

In other words, if Behar cannot see a photo of it, then it never happened.

"Homeland Security data does validate that, that it happened multiple times, more than once a month in fact during the Obama years," Ms. McCain responded, disproving Behar's suspicions, but still not convincing her.

Huntsman went beyond that saying: "In that piece it said over a period of four months in 2014 under the Obama years HHS allegedly placed a number of unaccompanied children into the hands of a ring of human traffickers, who forced them to work on egg farms in and around Ohio, leading to a federal and criminal indictment. According to the indictment the minors victims were forced to work six and seven hours a week, 12 hours per day. These are the things we don’t talk about."

Eggs are not heavy labor, however, in the small minds of leftists.

Hostin went ballistic.

"The last I checked President Obama is no longer in office," Hostin said, as she became visibly angry." President Trump is in office!" which means that nothing Obama did was wrong because he did it before, not now. Kind of like what the Nazis did before--but wait--isn't that still wrong even now?

"And he's destroying the country!" Behar added as a little sputter of flatulence was heard.

"I don't care what Obama did!" Hostin continued. "I care what Trump is doing right here right now!"

That's because if you equate the two, then Obama and Trump = Presidents.

But facts don't matter when your hate is on the person, not the deeds.

And the audience applauded like trained seals, not the US Navy kind.

POTUS madder at The Times than a snake that married the garden hose

President Trump is calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to use his resources and manpower to launch an intense investigation to uncover the identity of the anonymous person behind the Op-Ed published earlier this week in The New York Times.

Trump has been madder than a mule chewing on bumble bees since the column was published and told reporters aboard Air Force One that the critical piece about his leadership is a "national security" issue.

Reporters asked the president if he would take any action and he said, "we're going to see. I'm looking at that right now."

The op-ed by a cowardly "senior" official, described a covert inside effort to protect the country from Trump's "misguided impulses." Thus began the search for the author while most Cabinet officials and others have quickly denied responsibility and condemned the author.

Michael M. Grynbaum, a journalist at The New York Times tweeted a statement saying they're "confident" the DOJ "understands that the First Amendment protects all American citizens and that it would not participate in such a blatant abuse of government power."

"The President's threats both underscore why we must safeguard the identity of the writer of this Op-Ed and serve as a reminder of the importance of a free and independent press to American democracy," the statement continued.

I have to agree with them on this. But the person who wrote the piece is clearly a coward and a phony. If he worries so much about the country as he or she says, why not come forward with full disclosure for the sake of the country. Unless that person's job is really more important to him or her.

In an interview with "Fox and Friends" Trump said the Times shouldn't have even had the piece--and I agree with him on this issue. It serves absolutely no purpose but to undermine the presidency.

There is a wonderful piece in National Review by David French. It's an open letter to "Anonymous," the person who wrote the Op-Ed.

Unlike Trump, he does not refer to the post as "treason," because it isn't. But it is a rather underhanded and cowardly thing to do.

Whether Sessions will follow up on Trump's call to investigate is unclear. But their relationship is eroding and the president has publicly and repeatedly faulted him over the Russia probe in which Sessions appropriately recused himself.

Trump would probably like Sessions to be his "wingman" like Eric Holder was to Barack Obama and actually said so. But that is not the role of the Attorney General and Sessions appears to be playing his role in a professional manner, whether we like it or not.

Last month President Trump complained to the public that Sessions "never took control" of the DOJ, to which Sessions put out a terse statement saying: "While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations."

I firmly believe Sessions is doing so and will continue to do so until Trump fires him.

BREAKING: Obama knowingly funded an Al Qaeda affiliate, report reveals

Barack Hussein Obama knowingly funded an Al-Qaeda affiliate, a new report revealed on Wednesday.

Knowingly--that's the operant word.

The Obama administration provided an Islamic terrorist-financing organization with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and just because the group doesn't personally do the beheading and killing with their own hands, doesn't make them any less culpable for the terrorism of their henchmen.

Obama was well aware the Khartoum-based Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) was a terrorist-finance agency--it was designated such for a decade by the government. In spite of this, his administration approved the release of well over $100,000 AFTER they were informed ISRA was affiliated with Osama bin Laden and Maktab al-Khidamat (MK), which later became al-Qaeda.

ISRA received a $200,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Obama administration, which released no less than $115,000 to the terrorist-financing organization, according to National Review:

According to the U.S. Treasury, in 1997 ISRA established formal cooperation with MK. By 2000, ISRA had raised $5 million for bin Laden's group. The Treasury Department notes that ISRA officials even sought to help "relocate [bin Laden] to secure safe harbor for him." It further reports that ISRA raised funds in 2003 in Western Europe specifically earmarked for Hamas suicide bombings.

Perhaps this was Obama's strategy for defeating the extremists--let them blow themselves up with explosives we paid for.

The 2004 designation included all of ISRA's branches, including a U.S. office called the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA-USA). Eventually it became known that this American branch had illegally transferred over $1.2 million to Iraqi insurgents and other terror groups, including, reportedly, the Afghan terrorist Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

In July 2014 the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) approved $723,405 of our taxpayer funds to be sent to World Vision Inc., and from that money, "$200,000 was to be directed to a sub-grantee: ISRA," the National Review noted.

This was done even though World Vision told USAID in 2014 that ISRA was on the terrorist organization watch list and subsequently had to wait until the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) could assess the situation before releasing any funds to these scum-buckets.

In January 2015, OFAC confirmed that ISRA was a designated terrorist organization and rejected World Vision from getting "a license to engage in transactions with [ISRA]."

Even though OFAC ruled ISRA to be a terrorist organization, World Vision wrote to OFAC and Jeremy Konyndyk of the Obama administration (who then served as director of USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance) requesting to apply for a new license from USAID to pay ISRA "monies owed for work performed."

Larry Meserve, USAID's mission director for Sudan, asserted that World Vision argued that if they didn't pay ISRA "their whole program will be jeopardized." ...

Low and behold, on May 7, 2015--after "close collaboration and consultation with the Department of State" OFAC went ahead and issued a license to World Vision International, a World Vision affiliate. The license authorized a "one-time transfer of approximately $125,000 to ISRA," whereby "$115,000 was for services performed under the sub-award with USAID" and $10,000 was "for an unrelated funding arrangement between Irish Aid and World Vision."

This is exactly why terrorist organizations grew and prospered under the Obama administration.

"[In 2014], when the U.S. first began its campaign against the terror group, ISIS had a presence in seven countries," The Hill reported in 2016. "That figure rose to 13 in 2015, and today the White House document shows that ISIS is operating in 18 countries."

And to demonstrate just where Obama's sympathies lied, he killed a huge investigation into Hezbollah, allowing them to "become one of the biggest transnational organized crime groups in the world," DEA supervisory agent Jack Kelly told Politico.

Barack Obama tried to convince the public that his failure to reduce or contain terrorism never happened and "the number of terrorist incidents [had] not substantially increased," even the left-leaning Politifact rated his statement as "mostly false."

And John Brennan, the guy who voted for a Communist, calls President Trump a "traitor."

But what's breathtaking is how the left continuously gets away with their seditious behavior.

MSNBC's Joy Reid walks it back . . . again!

MSNBC's Joy Reid, the black spokeswoman for American blacks who don't actually know the history of the Democratic Party and its relationship with the KKK and the Civil Rights Bill, had to walk back her racially charged comments on conservative David French. 

If only conservatives attacked Reid's uninformed accusation she would have never walked it back, but even those on the left realized she was as "full of it" as a dairy farmer's manure-spreader. 

It began with French's National Review article that theorized a hypothetical nuclear attack written on the heels of the false alarm in Hawaii last week. French noted that a nuclear blast "would devastate central Honolulu but leave many suburbs intact."

But true to liberal form, Reid didn't read the actual article and instead opted for misleading pickups that were published in the decorative toilet papers known as Newsweek and Raw Story that wasn't news and wasn't the raw story. 

These leftist media outlets focused on Trump supporters living in rural areas and it offered Reid the chance to spin the already watered-down versions of French's story to make it about race.

The uninformed but opinionated Reid tweeted:

"We have truly entered the age of insanity when the conservative argument in favor of risking nuclear war is, 'don't worry, it will only kill Democrats and minorities.' Shame on you @DavidAFrench.'"

She was swiftly mocked for her take on the article which she obviously didn't read. And David French called her tweet "misleading and ridiculous."

@DavidAFrench

In the annals of misleading and ridiculous tweets, this takes the cake:

1. I did not argue in favor of risking nuclear war.
2. I never said anything like the words in those quotes.
3. I wrote only in favor of prepping for bad events.

Other than that, the tweet’s great.

@DavidAFrench

Earlier tonight @JoyAnnReid smeared me. She made things up. She claimed I said things I never said and never would say. Can she really believe I’m ok with nuclear war if it kills Democrats and minorities?

When a HuffPost reporter, Yasher Ali, calls Reid's tweet "a totally unfair characterization," you know she screwed up.

Hot Air's John Sexton wrote: "The bit that Joy Reid puts in quotes is not taken from David French's story or even from the Newsweek story. She just made that up."

This is exactly what fake news is. 

But Reid blamed @rawstory for the screwup:

"Taking back my take on this - the @rawstory writeup doesn't reflect @DavidAFrench's intent and I think @Aunty_Em would probably agree. David and I disagree on almost everything, but my take on this was off track."

Anyone who Joy Reid disagrees with on almost everything should be proud.

Reid has called Trump supporters "deplorables," and she had to apologize for making homophobic comments in the past while speculating about former Florida governor Charlie Crist's sexual orientation. 

She has even said of the Trump presidency that it is the "worst time to be a human." She evidently believes that the Holocaust, slavery and the Black Plague were no big deal.

Because she's an idiot.

First Amendment: What, He Worry?

Should the Federal Communications Commission have the right to monitor American newsrooms? Sure, if you believe they have the right to redefine the US Constitution. Think of the FCC as your Big Brother who knows what's best for you. Not.

Here's the deal. The FCC wants to launch a new study so that they can decide what you news you "need" to hear. Your opinion doesn't matter. These FCC clowns will conduct a "General Population Survey" to "measure what your real needs are versus what you think they are." So, what you perceive you need to know is not the same as what the GOVERNMENT says you need to know.
