NOTABLE QUOTES

Michigan Republican Primary: Trump 68.1 | Hayley 26.5

Michigan Democrat Primary: In majority-Arab Dearborn, ‘uncommitted’ was beating Biden 56 to 40 percent Tuesday night, with 97 percent of votes tallied.

Cal Thomas contributor to Townhall.com: Trump also repeated his assertion that the “radical left […] want(s)to tear down crosses where they can, and cover them up with social justice flags,” adding, “But no one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you.”

Ralph Gaebler contributor to The Imaginative Conservative: What’s needed at this juncture in our cultural evolution is a rebirth of healthy modesty about human being and human fate, a realization that we are imperfect and imperfectible, particular and embodied, with all our warts and blemishes, but for that very reason valuable beyond measure.

Glenn Greenwald journalist, author and lawyer: “Democratic Party elites such as those on CNN are not just angry but genuinely confused by the fact that American voters don’t obey them.”

Bob Unruh contributor to WND: “The organizations responsible for much of this crime include South American theft groups, Mexican criminal groups, Cuban criminal groups from South Florida, and Asian street gangs from California,” the FBI warns. But when it took to social media to promote its agenda, it used two young, white models to portray those thieves.

Hugh Fitzgerald contributor to Frontpage Magazine: And now a third serial plagiarist in the Harvard administration has just been found. She is Shirley Greene, a Title IX coordinator affiliated with the Office for Gender Equity.

Charlie Spiering reporter for the Daily Mail:Monmouth poll released Monday shows that 53 percent of Americans now support building a wall on the southern border with Mexico. Forty-six percent still oppose it. Four years ago, in a 2019 poll, only 42 percent of Americans supported the idea. The poll shows that 86 percent of Republicans support a border wall, but also 58 percent of Independents. Only 17 percent of Democrats support the idea. The poll also shows that 84 percent of voters see illegal immigration as a very serious or somewhat serious issue, a number that has grown significantly since 2019.

JUDICIARY

Whedon: In win for Paxton, court declares $1.7 trillion federal omnibus was passed unconstitutionally

“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi abused proxy voting under the pretext of COVID-19 to pass this law, then Biden signed it, knowing they violated the Constitution. This was a stunning violation of the rule of law. I am relieved the Court upheld the Constitution,” Paxton said. […] “Like many constitutional challenges, Texas asserts that this provision is unenforceable against it because Congress violated the Constitution in passing the law. In response, the defendants claim, among other things, that this Court has no power to address the issue because it cannot look to extrinsic evidence to question whether a bill became law,” the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Lubbock Division wrote. “But because the Court is interpreting and enforcing the Constitution—rather than second-guessing a vote count—the Court disagrees. The Court concludes that, by including members who were indisputably absent in the quorum count, the Act at issue passed in violation of the Constitution’s Quorum Clause.”

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Whedon: Grassley hits back against ‘breathless media misreporting’ about FBI informant doc

“Today I want to take the time of my colleagues to set the record straight yet again about the FBI-generated 1023. And I do this because the breathless media misreporting requires that I come to the floor to give a historical reorientation with facts and evidence,” he declared in remarks on the Senate floor. The document became public in July of 2023. The House Oversight Committee had issued a subpoena for the unclassified document though FBI Director Christopher Wray did not surrender the form, instead permitting lawmakers to view it in a secure location. Grassley subsequently released the document. The explosive allegations renewed attention to Joe and Hunter Biden’s relationship with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, though special counsel David Weiss’s recent charging of ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who supplied the information, has cast doubt on its veracity. “It’s all pretty simple. I didn’t promote or vouch for the allegations in the 1023 as the truth like some confused Democrats and the partisan media have falsely said. I pushed the FBI to do their job, because that’s my responsibility to the taxpayers and the people of Iowa,” he said. […] “According to the Justice Department indictment, the FBI finally interviewed the FBI source on September 27, 2023. We made the 1023 public just a few months prior, on July 20, 2023. Clearly, the FBI finally acted because of our release of the document. In other words, we embarrassed them,” the Iowa Republican stated. “And by that time, as I’ve said by my timeline, the document was over three years old. Three years they didn’t do their job. So, the 1023 sat with the FBI collecting dust until we, in Congress, acted. My releasing the 1023 got the FBI to do its job that they should have been doing three years before.”

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & HIS FORMER TRUMP EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS & WH STAFF

Green: Fani Willis Plays the Stooge

I’ve always liked those criminal mastermind movies. There’s always a criminal genius who assembles a crew of the best in their fields to pull off the heist of the century. After a flawlessly executed crime -– with lots of plot twists -– the crew makes a clean getaway and meets at a secret location to divvy up the haul. Just before they go their separate ways, the boss always admonishes his coconspirators to:

  • Don’t do anything stupid
  • Don’t attract attention, and
  • Don’t spend any of the loot until the dust settles

But in real life there’s always one stooge . . .

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL

Huff: Large-Scale Geoengineering Projects, Once Dubbed a “Conspiracy Theory,” Are Now Expanding Globally

What was once just a “conspiracy theory” or “internet myth” confined to the fringes of society is now becoming official policy to keep the planet from “warming” or “boiling.” We are talking about chemtrails and other forms of geo-engineering, which those who propagate such things used to deny before eventually admitting that, yes, there are attempts being made to alter the function of the natural order to stop “climate change.” […] Just the other day, the Wall Street Journal reported on some of these newfangled projects, claiming that they stand to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions” at a much faster rate than existing technologies. In order to stop “scary” things like heat waves, thunderstorms and floods, the climate industry is rushing to change the way clouds work and alter the pH levels of the ocean, among other large-scale planetary endeavors. […] Over at the United Nations (UN), there is also growing talk that the age of “global warming” has actually ended, and now the world is shifting into a period of “global cooling.” “All of this is a clear sign that the ‘climate crisis,’ or rather the ‘climate crisis’ narrative, is entering a dangerous new phase,” warns the National Pulse.

Grimes: Klamath Dam Removal: ‘It’s an Environmental Disaster’

‘They purposefully made a disaster and are leaving taxpayers and the locals to clean up their mess’ This is the first article in a series about the Klamath Dam Removal project in Siskiyou County. The removal of dams along the Klamath River in Siskiyou County, Northern California was sold as necessary to save salmon – specifically, “to restore habitat for endangered fish.” The dams are part of the Klamath project, a series of seven dams built in the 1910’s and 1920’s in the Klamath Basin to bring electricity and agricultural water mitigation for Southern Oregon and Northern California, the Globe reported in 2020. However, in recent years, concerns over the dams’ effect on the wildlife and fishing industry have been raised, especially regarding claims of fish facing extinction because the dams. […] “I’ve been around natural disasters all of my life, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Siskiyou County Supervisor Ray Haupt recently told the Globe. “The river is essentially dead, as is everything in it.”

Turner: Climate Cultists Will Do Anything To Save The Planet, Except Stay Home

Under President Joe Biden, the U.S. has spent more money than ever before in fighting so-called “climate change.” But climate activists continue to call for more. One wonders if it is ever possible to satisfy their demands. The climate agenda is flush with incongruities and inconsistencies, a nicer way of saying “lies.” Decades of unrealized doomsday predictions do not prevent more doomsday predictions. Manipulated data uncovered by leaked Climategate emails and NASA whistleblowers do not stop climate activists from pointing to their fabricated “science.” But perhaps the greatest falsehood of the climate agenda is a failure in simple logical deduction. Climate activists’ entire raison d’etre is ending fossil fuels. They claim fossil fuels are driving climate change; ergo, we must eliminate them. Strangely, though, to reinforce that position, anti-fossil fuel hypocrites use more fossil fuels than your average person. Use more fossil fuels while forcing others to use none. It’s a central tenant of the climate agenda.

Saunt: Does Inslaw still exist? Bizarre true story about what really happened to the D.C. tech business after journalist Danny Casolaro DIED investigating it – as American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders lands on Netflix

The sudden death of investigative journalist Danny Casolaro thrust the bizarre case of software company Inslaw into the national spotlight. The freelancer writer had started looking into a dispute between the technology firm and the Department of Justice. The clash appeared to be over intellectual property rights but it soon seemed that the matter had a much more sinister underbelly. Danny, who was a father of one, reportedly became ‘obsessed’ with bringing the entirety of the story of the to light – but never got the chance to finish his investigation. Following months of research, he is said to have stumbled into a web of ‘stolen government spy software, a string of unsolved murders, and some of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century,’ according to Netflix.

Anderson: Matt Rosendale’s wife, Jean, calls allegations he impregnated 20-year-old staffer ‘political mudslinging’ and ‘100% FALSE’

Former [Democrat] Sen. Heidi Heitkamp alleged there was a ‘rumor’ that Rosendale, 63, dropped out of the US Senate race because he ‘impregnated a 20-year-old staff person’. The Montana Republican’s camp furiously denied the allegations, claiming they were ‘false and defamatory’, and on Tuesday his attorneys filed a litigation hold notice against the North Dakota Democrat. […] ‘But this disturbing lie about our entire family is truly political mudslinging at its worst and everyone should be offended by it,’ Jean stated, adding that the family is supportive and encouraging to fight back. Rosendale’s lawyers have taken action against Heitkamp and, according to the news outlet, on Tuesday sent a letter stating they want ‘corrective action’ to be taken. The litigation reportedly asks for relevant documentation to be preserved and is a ‘notice of potential future legal proceedings’. […] The hardline conservative said in a statement that with Trump’s backing of fellow Republican Sheehy and a lack of resources, he was ‘forced to calculate what my chances of success would be’. Trump’s endorsement came just hours after Rosendale had signed paperwork to formally launch his campaign on February 9.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

Weingarten: Al Jazeera Is A Foreign Agent For Qatar, So Why Isn’t Biden Making It Register As One?

Is Washington genuinely concerned about foreign influence threats to America, or is it more concerned about politics — either selectively pursuing claims of such threats or more perversely weaponizing those claims to target domestic foes? The Biden Justice Department’s seeming refusal to enforce the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) and stonewalling of those who would dare ask why — at least when it comes to its deference to one Middle Eastern media outlet — suggests the prevalence of politics in its work. In September 2020, the Trump DOJ informed AJ+, Al Jazeera’s left-wing, millennial-targeting, social-media-focused news platform, that it was required to register as a foreign agent. That’s because by money, management, and messaging, AJ+ is backed by Qatar. […] Al Jazeera, which reaches 430 million people in 150 countries and whose AJ+ boasts 11 million followers on Facebook alone, self-evidently exists to advance the interests of our adversaries. Yet nearly four years after the DOJ instructed AJ+ to register as a foreign agent, the Justice Department has refused to enforce the law.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Kunstler: Comes Thermidor

What’s most amazing about the fiasco that was the French Revolution is that it happened at exactly the same time that the United States successfully organized themselves into an orderly and effective government following the American Revolution. George Washington was elected and sworn-in by April of 1789, with the backing of an exemplary constitution assembled by the best minds in the land. The Bastille fell in July that same year. France then fell into a years’ long orgy of beheading and chaos that went nowhere until 1799 when an artillery officer named Bonaparte put an end to it by sheer force of personality. […] Rewind a little to 1793 in Paris, the revolution in full swing: King Louis XVI went to the guillotine in January. The National Convention had replaced the National Assembly as the furnace of political action. The radical Jacobin faction, led by Robespierre and Saint-Just, coalesced into a power-seizing majority there. They took their name from a political club founded by anti-royalists, but their platform became increasingly extreme as the revolution lurched toward pandemonium.      During their year in power, the Jacobins turned the life of the nation upside down in their zealous quest to create a perfectly equitable society. They abolished the church (and replaced it with their own “cult of the supreme being”). They changed the week from seven days to ten days, they changed the names of all […] By the summer of 1794 (in their renamed month of Thermidor), everybody else finally had enough of the Jacobin nightmare. On July 27, […] This event became known as the Thermidorian Reaction. The insane Jacobin program of terror and social derangement was swiftly abolished. Nothing like it was seen again until […] America is headed for its own Thermidorian Reaction. It’ll end up being called something else, of course, because it is a different time, place, and set of circumstances. But it feels close, doesn’t it? Everybody I know or correspond with . . .

On Nov. 7, 2022, a Department of Justice immigration judge in Newark, New Jersey ordered Trejo-Granados’ removal from the United States. […] According to the ICE records, the Montgomery County Police Department arrested Trejo-Granados on March 21, 2023, and charged him with theft. While those charges remain pending, ICE lodged an Immigration Detainer on Trejo-Granados with the Montgomery County Detention Center on March 22, 2023; however, the agency says MCDC refused to honor the detainer and Trejo-Granados was released by MCDC on March 27, 2023.

RECOMMENDED READING: BAD THERAPY: WHY THE KIDS AREN’T GROWING UP BY ABIGAIL SHRIER

The Free Press: How Bad Therapy Hijacked Our Nation’s Schools

What’s going on? Forget the Pledge of Allegiance. Today’s teachers are more likely to start the school day with an ‘emotions check-in.’ Abigail Shrier on the rise of ‘trauma-informed’ education. American kids are the freest, most privileged kids in all of history. They are also the saddest, most anxious, depressed, and medicated generation on record. Nearly a third of teen girls say they have seriously considered suicide. For boys, that number is an also alarming 14 percent. What’s even stranger is that all of these worsening mental health outcomes for kids have coincided with a generation of parents hyper-fixated on the mental health and well-being of their children. […] In Bad Therapy, out today, Abigail heads into the breach once more. The book makes the case that the advent of therapy culture, the rise of “gentle parenting,” and the spread of “social-emotional learning” in schools is actually causing much of the anxiety and depression faced by today’s youth. In other words, Abigail argues that in our attempt to keep kids safe, we are failing the next generation of American adults. The best journalists are fearless. And that adjective certainly applies to Abigail, whose bravery in following the evidence wherever it leads is what has made her work on some of the most important and controversial issues of the day so essential.

2024 ELECTIONS

Greenfield: Taxpayers Will Pay College Students to Register Democrat Voters

You have to hand it to them, the Democrats really don’t miss a trick. Now obviously much of the Democrat voter registration infrastructure is already taxpayer-funded. Many if not most of the community groups double as voter registration and outreach operations. They also often provide foot soldiers for elections (not to mention protests.) When you understand that, you also begin to grasp the massive advantage that Dems have going into every election. But that’s still not good enough so here comes the other shoe.

(Arizona) Leibsohn: Kari Lake and Common Sense

As we are now in high political season, we propose a thought experiment before too many decisions are frozen in amber too early on. For Republicans and Independents, and even Democrats whose fond memories of the party run back to the ideals of the 1960s: How extreme is it to support a strengthened and secured U.S. border to keep dangerous people and products from flowing into the country? A few more questions to satisfy the experiment: How ideal would it be for the United States to be energy independent? Who among any of us does not want to see our homeless population housed, free of addiction, and treated of their mental health issues? Who among us does not think that for the $900 billion Americans spend on elementary and secondary education, our scores and achievement levels should be much higher? Who here thinks the drug poisoning problem—at historically record highs—cannot be addressed and reversed?  Who among us thinks our deficits and government spending priorities are keeping us on the track of economic prosperity and financial health? […] The candidate who gets the answers to the commonsense questions above right is Kari Lake. While we did not support her in the primary in 2022, we have zero problem supporting her for the Senate seat she is running for today, here, in Arizona.

WAR IN ISRAEL

Foreign Desk Staff: Hamas, Iran’s Regime, and U.S. Leftists Praise Airman’s Self-Immolation at Israeli Embassy

A day after Bushnell’s self-immolation, Independent U.S. Presidential Candidate Cornel West took to social media to state that the Airman’s actions in protest against Israel’s military operation in Gaza formed a “moral” message directed at the U.S. On X, West stated the following with an image of Bushnell: “Let us never forget the extraordinary courage and commitment of brother Aaron Bushnell, who died for truth and justice! I pray for his precious loved ones! Let us rededicate ourselves to genuine solidarity with Palestinians undergoing genocidal attacks in real time!” The independent U.S. Presidential candidate concluded his post with the hashtags #AaronBushnell and #FreePalestine. “Advanced and healthy Western societies do not celebrate suicides for a cause, or at least they shouldn’t,” said Matthew RJ Brodsky, senior fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy. “So naturally, the pro-Hamas crowd in the West calls this behavior brave as their moral compasses have been long broken,” he told The Foreign Desk.

Milstein: Anti-Zionist Jews: Fringe Voices

Since the Soviet Union, the Arab League boycott, and the Iranian Revolution, antisemites have tried to hide their anti-Jewish bigotry behind politically acceptable “anti-Zionism.” Get two Jews in a room, get three opinions. True of most things, but one thing most Jews agree on is that Israel is the indigenous homeland of the Jewish people and that their connection to it is a core tenet of their Jewish identity. Despite this majoritarian view, there is a loud minority of radical anti-Israel Jewish voices. Although unrepresentative of the broad Jewish community, our detractors and the media weaponize them, turning them into “token Jews” used to attack Israel and sow division within the Jewish community. It’s time we ridicule them. […] The normalization of anti-Zionist Jews in public life has three glaring issues: . . .

Bray: Arizona Legalizes Murder!

you’ll never guess how this one ends. Delightfully, Axios reporter April Rubin trained at the New York Times. Here’s how she starts this story: Arizona Republicans are advancing a bill that would allow people to legally kill someone accused of attempting to trespass or actively trespassing on their property. The big picture: The legislation, which is expected to be vetoed if it reaches the state’s Democratic governor, would legalize the murder of undocumented immigrants, who often have to cross ranches that sit on the state’s border with Mexico. These monsters, they’re legalizing the murder of undocumented migrants. So, as always, let’s read the actual bill: […] Check what you read in the news. Look at the actual text of any bill or law a journalist describes to you. I’ve said this before, and yes, I’ll definitely say it again.

OTHER NEWS, COMMENTARY, OPINION

Bandow: Trump Is Blunt and Right About NATO

They just can’t take a joke. The former president Donald Trump made a sarcastic crack about encouraging Russia to attack NATO members who didn’t invest in their defense, and hysteria enveloped both Washington and Brussels. For some officials, the imbroglio appeared to signal the end of Western civilization. Even worse, Europeans realized that they might have to do more for themselves militarily. The continent’s policymakers have begun thinking the unthinkable. Reported the New York Times, “European leaders were quietly discussing how they might prepare for a world in which America removes itself as the centerpiece of the 75-year-old alliance.” What is the world coming to if European governments can no longer cheap-ride the U.S.? The horror! […] No serious person should take Trump’s comments as a formal policy statement. Rather, it sounds like a witty riposte to a whiny Eurocrat seeking to justify his or her government’s irresponsible refusal to fulfill a state’s most fundamental duty, protecting its citizens. What American angered by decades of European cheap-riding did not secretly cheer Trump’s statement, especially when a febrile gaggle of European officials responded by wailing that Uncle Sam might stop playing Uncle Sucker?

Arnold: The Takeover

A massive increase in foreign money and students on American campuses is driving radicalization and subsidizing institutional failure. Something new and peculiar stands out about the wave of anti-Israel student activism that has rocked American university campuses since October: There is a visibly more radical element to these protests. Student activists almost seemed to take glee in Hamas’ massacre of innocent civilians—when they weren’t denying that it happened at all. The antisemitic rage struck a different tone than the typical anti-Israel fare that has become a central part of American student activism since Students for a Democratic Society formed in the 1960s. So what changed? The answer is clear to anyone who watched the videos: these student protests are no longer composed solely of left-wing American students steeped in critical theory and post-colonial ideology. The protests are now havens for . . .

Rucker: Pennsylvania Case Seeks to Deem ALL Food Not Made by Government to Be Illegal

It wasn’t too long ago when even many patriots and those who are generally skeptical of government thought it was an unhinged conspiracy theory that the powers-that-be would go after natural food. Today, it’s quickly becoming a reality as attacks on our food supply ramp up.

The latest version of the government takeover of food is happening in Pennsylvania where Amos Miller is being attacked for supplying his friends and neighbors with fresh food. According to famed attorney Robert Barnes: […] Donald Trump Jr. also weighed in on last month’s raid, writing in a post on X (formerly Twitter), “Imagine what law enforcement could accomplish if they went after oh I don’t know, say, members of elite pedophile rings rather than farmers selling to their neighbors???

Fitzgerald: At Harvard, Another Case of Plagiarism

No Harvard student so guilty of plagiarism would be allowed to remain. […] And now a third serial plagiarist in the Harvard administration has just been found. She is Shirley Greene, a Title IX coordinator affiliated with the Office for Gender Equity.

Hmm. There doesn’t seem to be much there there. She has just been found to have plagiarized at least 40 passages in her dissertation. More on Shirley Greene, the latest — but almost certainly not the last — serial plagiarist to be uncovered at Harvard, can be found here: “Harvard’s Plagiarism Problem Multiplies,” by Christopher F.

Pakistani Imam Preaches Jew-Hate in Belgian Parliament

  • Three months to the day after Hamas’s bloodthirsty massacre of Jews, an Islamist preacher from Pakistan comes to the rostrum of the Brussels Regional Parliament, in the capital of the European Union, to chant verses from a sura celebrating the defeat, surrender and massacre of Jews and the enslavement of Jewish women and children.
  • For his presentation, Butt was awarded a medal at the end of the same ceremony by Nawal Ben Hamou (PS), Secretary of State of the Brussels-Capital Region, who congratulated the Islamist preacher on the “quality of his integration” into Belgian society.
  • It is worth noting that this Islamist preacher of Jew-hate does not speak a word of French or Dutch, Belgium’s two national languages. What a heart-warming story of “integration”.

Toameh: Palestinians Need New Leaders, Not New Governments

  • The sole way to “revitalize” the Palestinian Authority is to insist that it rid itself of every leader who has failed his people and who remains in power, disregarding the will and interests of the people.

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Biden/Obama leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.

Please click the TAKE ACTION link to learn to do’s and don’ts for voting in 2024. Our state and national elections are at great risk from the very aggressive and radical leftist Democrat operatives with documented rigging, mail-in voter fraud and illegals voting across the country (yes, with illegals voting across the country) in the last several election cycles.

Read Part 1 and Part 2 of The Prickly Pear essays entitled How NOT to Vote in the November 5, 2024 Election in Arizona to be well informed of the above issues and to vote in a way to ensure the most likely chance your vote will be counted and counted as you intend.
