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: A 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.

Unruh: Supreme justice: My warning for Christians is being ignored

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says his warning that came in the Obergefell same-sex “marriage” ruling several years ago about discriminating against Christians is being ignored in American society. That was that people of faith soon would be labeled “bigots” and discriminated against simply because of their faith. He said it happened in a Missouri case, and he said while he voted not to intervene because of state technicalities that would be involved, the problem is looming and needs to be addressed. According to a report from Liberty Counsel, a top-flight legal team often contending in court for the constitutional rights of people of faith, the case was Missouri Department of Corrections v. Jean Finney, an employment discrimination complaint. […] In the trial two potential jurors were dismissed “for having biblical views that ‘homosexual conduct is sinful,'” the report said. Alito explained, “At the beginning of voir dire, Finney’s attorney asked all the jurors what he characterized as ‘a tricky question,’ namely, . . .

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

(2/27/20240) Richards: Hunter Biden appears before Congress as impeachment inquiry reaches its climax

Hunter Biden is set to appear Wednesday before Congress in the ongoing impeachment inquiry into his father, over what investigators allege is a multifaceted effort by the first family to peddle their influence and get rich off of their politically influential family name. Biden’s closed-door interview follows closely behind that of his uncle, presidential brother James Biden, who became the first member of the Biden family to give testimony to the committee last week. In recent weeks, Democrats have renewed their criticisms of the probe after a former FBI informant, who provided information to the agency suggesting Joe and Hunter Biden were recipients of a bribe from Ukrainian energy company Burisma, was arrested by the Department of Justice and charged with providing false statements.

Centinel: President Trump’s New York Legal Problems Began in 1850

Jonathan Turley brilliantly wrote: In laying the foundation for his sweeping decision against former President Donald Trump, Judge Arthur Engoron observed that ‘this is a venial sin, not a mortal sin.’ Yet, at $355 million, one would think that Engoron had found Trump to be the source of Original Sin. The actual sin in this debacle lies neither with President Trump, nor even Judge Engoron, but rather with David Dudley Field II, who after decades of lobbying succeeded in merging the New York courts of equity and law in 1850. What does that mean? And how did that woke word end up next to “law”? […] President Trump should not only make Justice Thomas’ dissent the basis of his appeal, he should also use it to quiz all his future SCOTUS candidates.

Main: Google boss Sundar Pichai admits ‘woke’ images generated by company’s Gemini AI chatbot were ‘unacceptable’ – after it depicted Founding Fathers as black, German Nazis as Asian

Inaccurate AI-generated images of Asian Nazis, black founding fathers, and female Popes created with Google‘s Gemini AI chatbot are ‘unacceptable,’ the company’s CEO said.Google CEO Sundar Pichai responded to the images in a memo to staff calling the photos ‘problematic’ and telling staff the company is working ‘around the clock’ to fix the issues. Users criticized Gemini last week after the AI generated images showing a range of ethnicities and genders, even when doing so was historically inaccurate, accusing Google of anti-white bias. ‘No Al is perfect, especially at this emerging stage of the industry’s development, but we know the bar is high for us and we will keep at it for however long it takes. ‘And we’ll review what happened and make sure we fix it at scale,’ Pichai said.

Sundance: FOIA Release Highlights Durham Never Intended Accountability for Deep State Actors

In August of 2020 I sent this tweet to the general public after a lengthy discussion with John Durham’s lead investigator: This tweet created major controversy amid those who were deep in the research weeds on the entire Spygate/Russiagate fiasco. Few would believe that in the effort to preserve the institutions at all costs, AG Bill Barr was the Bondo application and Special Prosecutor John Durham was the spray paint. It was all a coverup operation to hide the rot in the DOJ and beyond. Essentially, Durham and Bill Aldenberg admitted to me that nothing the Robert Mueller team did in the preceding two years was subject to their review. Yes, that is correct, . . .

Justice: Journalist Who Exposed Secret Tucson Migrant Hotel Speaks Out: ‘Super Secretive’ Business

After being thrown out of a Tucson hotel, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy told The Federalist, “They were super secretive.” “These NGOs, as far as I’m concerned, are an arm of the Democratic Party,” said Campos-Duffy. “The Democrats are getting more illegals, which they hope to turn into voters. The NGOs are making money, and the small businesses like these hotels are making money.” […] “What you’re seeing is basically an unmarked building. All signage is removed,” Campos-Duffy explained. “That’s the first sign you know that this is an NGO, a non-government organization. In this case, Casa Alitas, who is housing illegal immigrants.” Campos-Duffy and her team, however, were aggressively turned away when they asked to rent a room. “We’re not going to answer any of your questions,” said a female worker in a blue polo, who demanded the crew leave.

“This is an NGO paid for by government money,” Campos-Duffy said. “Can you explain what you do here? Why so much secrecy?”

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE U.S. MILITARY

Greenfield: The “Airman” Who Set Himself on Fire for Hamas was Antifa Ex-Cult Member

A former leftist cult member who hooked up with anarchist and socialist groups and then killed himself for their approval. If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions. Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed. The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. […] But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult. […] All of this prompts WaPo readers to think that the Community of Jesus is some conservative group. The reality is COJ was a leftist cult that appealed to high-flying liberals.

Baldor: US Army is slashing thousands of jobs in major revamp to prepare for future wars

The U.S. Army is slashing the size of its force by about 24,000, or almost 5%, and restructuring to be better able to fight the next major war, as the service struggles with recruiting shortfalls that made it impossible to bring in enough soldiers to fill all the jobs. The cuts will mainly be in already-empty posts — not actual soldiers — including in jobs related to counterinsurgency that swelled during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars but are not needed as much today. About 3,000 of the cuts would come from Army special operations forces. At the same time, however, the plan will add about 7,500 troops in other critical missions, including air-defense and counter-drone units and five new task forces around the world with enhanced cyber, intelligence and long-range strike capabilities.

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

Kredo: Biden Admin Exempted Itself From Anti-Terrorism Laws To Send Aid to Gaza. Senate Republicans Want To Strip That Authority.

Senate Republicans want to strip the Biden administration of its power to skirt federal anti-terrorism laws in order to pump millions in taxpayer funding into the Palestinian territories, including the war-torn Gaza Strip, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. The legislation, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and three of his Republican colleagues, is a response to a 2023 Free Beacon report that revealed the Biden administration exempted itself from anti-terrorism laws to resume funding to the Gaza Strip and West Bank, aid that was frozen under the previous administration. […]

The bill, a copy of which was obtained by the Free Beacon, would remove a key authority that the Biden administration uses to bypass federal laws barring the American government from pumping taxpayer dollars into areas controlled by terror factions.

Kessler: Latest Figures Show Just How Brutal 2023 Was For Home Prices

Home prices for the 10 largest cities in the U.S. rose by 7.0% year-over-year in December, up from 6.3% in the previous month, according to Standard and Poor’s Case-Shiller home price index report. The top 20 cities had a slightly less pronounced increase, with prices rising 6.1% year-over-year as of December, up from 5.4% in November, according to the index. The increase in costs is coupled with a rise in the average for a 30-year mortgage rate, which ticked up to 6.90% the week of Feb. 22 after declining slightly from the recent peak of 7.80% that was seen in October, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Yeatman: ‘She just wouldn’t die’: Soho 54 murder suspect’s chilling confession after he tried to snap prostitute’s neck, beat her over the head with an iron and attempted to suffocate her with a sock and blanket

Alleged sex killer Raad Amansoori boasted to police of the sheer effort involved in murdering a New York prostitute who ‘just wouldn’t die’, a court heard today. The 26-year-old appeared at a detention hearing in Arizona for the first time since he was pulled from a stolen vehicle and arrested at gunpoint in a Phoenix car garage on February 18. Details of another three sex attacks have emerged since mother-of-two Denisse Oleas-Arancibia was found beaten to death at New York’s SoHo 54 hotel on February 8. Arizona police detective Jeremy Goebel said Amansoori went into ‘graphic detail’ about how he began strangling her after an argument erupted over how long he could stay. ‘In his words, ‘She just wouldn’t die’,’ the court heard. […] Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg, I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals either in our state, county or anywhere in the United States,’ she said.

Downs: Mitch McConnell Donors to Throw Washington D.C. Area Fundraiser for Nikki Haley

Donors to Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Asa Hutchinson will be throwing Nikki Haley a fundraiser on Thursday in McLean, Virginia, an elite town that sits on the banks of the Potomac River and is less than 3 miles from Washington, D.C. […] It’s no mystery why McConnell’s donors are gravitating toward Nikki Haley as Haley, like McConnell, despises President Trump’s America First policies. This makes it easy for Haley and McConnell to raise money from globalist donors.

Washburn: Biden Lost In Dearborn, Again Proving Radical Is The New Mainstream In The Democrat Party

Anti-Israel groups pushed back against President Joe Biden in the Michigan presidential primary Tuesday, encouraging voters to protest the administration’s policies in the Israel-Gaza conflict by selecting “uncommitted” on their ballots instead of voting for the Democrat frontrunner. To vote uncommitted, as The Washington Post explained, means a voter is “placing a party vote but [is] not currently supporting any of the candidates listed.” “Progressive voters across the state of Michigan made their voices heard,” said Joseph Geevarghese, executive director of Our Revolution, in a news release. “They sent a resounding message to President Biden: Change course now on Gaza or risk alienating key voter blocs needed to defeat Trump.”

Halpin: Americans Aren’t Paying Close Attention to the 2024 Election

For the 2024 horse race polls to have any real credibility this far out, you need to have some confidence that most Americans are paying attention to the race otherwise you’re measuring the opinions of the most engaged voters and getting mere inclinations from everyone else.

But according to the most recent data from The Economist/YouGov, the opposite is true—most Americans report that they are not paying close attention to the 2024 election at this stage.

WAR IN ISRAEL

Greenfield: The Untold Story of Israel After October 7^th

The national awakening you won’t hear about in the media. The story of what happened after Oct 7 has played out in the international media as a montage of bombs and rubble. And while Israel’s campaign against the Hamas perpetrators of the horrific massacres, rapes and kidnappings is an important part of the story, it is not the only one. From the men who grabbed their guns and drove south in the hours after the attack began to the warehouses quickly set up to provide food and clothing for the hundreds of thousands of Israelis who were forced to leave their homes after the attacks from Gaza, inside Israel, the real story has been defined by a country coming together not only to fight, but to support each other.

Coughlin: There Can Be No Ceasefire in Gaza with Hamas in Power

A short, temporary ceasefire might be achievable, so long as it requires Hamas to release all of the remaining Israeli hostages it is holding.
The Israeli people, irrespective of their political differences, will never accept any long-term deal that allows the terrorist masterminds of Hamas to remain in control of Gaza.

OTHER NEWS, COMMENTARY, OPINION

Pawlyk: ‘I’m Not Trying to Cause a Scene. I Just Want to Get Off This Plane.’

A former senior Boeing employee on why he still won’t fly on a MAX plane. In 2018, Ed Pierson decided that he could no longer work as a senior manager for Boeing’s 737 MAX program. At the company’s production facility in Renton, Washington, he had watched as employee morale plummeted and oversight and assembly procedures faltered. He told his superiors but retired soon after. But then fatal MAX 8 crashes occurred in 2018 and 2019. He decided to speak up publicly and was then called to testify before Congress on the problems he says he saw up close. Five years later, after a door plug blew off of a 737 MAX 9 in the middle of an Alaska Airlines flight last month, Pierson is again trying to sound the alarm. Regulators ultimately approved the plane to return to the air nearly two years after the 2019 crash, but Pierson still doesn’t trust the MAX line — the modernized, more fuel-efficient version of Boeing’s predecessor planes.

Wade: Mayor Adams says New York City’s ‘sanctuary’ status needs to be modified

New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the city’s sanctuary status should be changed to allow migrants charged with crimes to be turned over to federal immigration officials for deportation. Speaking at a community meeting on Monday night, Adams said the city’s policy that restricts cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials needs to be modified to weed out the “small numbers” of migrants who commit serious crimes.

LaChance: City of Denver Cut Employee Hours to Zero in Order to Keep Paying for Services for Illegal Border Crossers

The city of Denver has been struggling for weeks now to pay for services for illegal border crossers. Early in February it was announced that the city would start cutting some services for taxpayers, and unsuccessfully tried to blame Republicans. Now the city is going to start cutting the hours of city employees, in some cases down to zero, in order to keep paying for services for illegals. This is simply not sustainable and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it.

Reinl: Kinky secrets of UN trans expert REVEALED: Australian activist plugs bondage, bestiality, nudism, drugs, and tax-funded sex-change ops – so why is he writing health advice for the world body?

A transgender member of a new UN panel that’s drafting global health rules has a kinky track record in everything from bestiality to bondage, drugs and nudism, DailyMail.com can reveal. Teddy Cook, a female-to-male trans Australian activist, started work this month on the World Health Organization‘s 20-expert body, drafting care guidelines for trans and non-binary people. Cook, 45, who describes himself as a ‘professional queer, man of trans experience,’ has a controversial backstory. He’s advocated for taxpayer-funded surgeries for all trans Australians, and worked on a study about trans people having better sex when they’re high on drugs. Cook’s social media posts are even more revealing. […] Nearly two-thirds of the panelists are human rights lawyers, activists, and policy advisors, while just slightly over a third of them are trained medical doctors

[…] One of the original WHO panelists, the Canadian activist and law professor Florence Ashley, pulled out of the panel in recent weeks. It had emerged that they had published several papers calling for trans children to be given puberty blockers without mental health evaluations.

Faiez: The Taliban hold another public execution as thousands watch at a stadium in northern Afghanistan

The execution took place in heavy snowfall in the city of Shibirghan, the capital of northern Jawzjan province, where the brother of the murdered man shot the convict five times with a rifle, according to a witness. Security around the stadium was tight, said the witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. It was also the fifth public execution since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021 as U.S. and NATO troops were in the final weeks of their withdrawal from the country after two decades of war.
