NOTABLE QUOTES

Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: . . . the Biden administration wants to open up Gaza to the rest of the world. If this latest treasonous episode of nation building succeeds, the Israelis will pay the price, but so will all of us. The ‘trojan pier’ is not about delivering aid, it’s about giving the terrorists a gateway to the world. And when that gateway is in place, the world will burn even faster.

Lloyd Billingsley contributor to Frontpage Magazine: “You know, 11 million people live in the shadows. I believe they’re already American citizens,” said vice president Biden in 2014. According to Delaware Democrat, all the 11 million wanted was a chance to contribute, so “let people vote.” Biden is not going to disrespect “any any any” of those he has brought in, even the criminals, because they add to his imported electorate. The illegals are replacements for the legitimate citizens Biden hates, as he confirmed in his September 1, 2022 speech. So when criminal illegals murder Americans, the Delaware Democrat looks the other way.

Victor Davis Hanson contributor to American Greatness: Anytime ideology and dogma trump merit, logic, and safety, the result is predictably scary and dangerous. America needs to recalibrate its priorities to protect the lives and aspirations of all its citizens, regardless of their race and gender. If our elites do not stop playing god and mandating their visions of heaven on earth, then they will surely ensure hell for us all.

J.B. Shurk contributor to American Thinker: Will our historical era be remembered as the “Age of Fakes”? We have fake news, fake meat, fake elections, fake genders, fake vaccines, fake budgets, fake democracy, fake truths, fake hate, fake Russian collusion, fake insurrections, fake climate emergencies, fake freedoms, fake outrage, fake speech crimes, fake money, fake justice, fake intellects, fake women, fake borders, fake wars, and even a fake president. In some ways, it is a very silly time to be alive.

J.B. Shurk contributor to American Thinker: A nation taught not to think for itself is a nation that knows no other course of action than to obey.

Parker contributor to American Thinker: Ruling class leftists are always feigning concern for global cooling, global warming, climate change, or whatever is the buzzword this week. But they still buy beach houses with the supposed rise in the oceans, and they still fly around to conferences when they could easily help “save the planet” by conducting their business over Zoom. And they supposedly want to redistribute the wealth, but they are only taking it for themselves.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Brownstone Institute: Can the Chief Justice Stand Up to the Censors?

Chief Justice John Roberts once flipped his vote on Obamacare to appease the DC establishment. Will he capitulate again in Murthy v. Missouri? In 2012, after oral arguments in Sebelius v. NFIB, the Supreme Court met in a secret conference to determine the constitutionality of Obamacare and its “individual mandate.” Following three days of oral arguments, hundreds of pages in briefing, and hours in chambers with clerks and fellow Justices, Roberts provided the critical fifth vote to create a majority holding that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional. […] Supporters and critics agreed that Roberts’ decision was a political calculation rather than a legal determination. […] Now, the Court faces another Democratic president’s unprecedented expansion of federal power in Murthy v. Missouri (formerly known as Missouri v. Biden). Like the Obamacare case, decided in 2012, the decision comes in an election year and features the heavy-handed influence of the medical industry’s lobbying and public pressure campaigns. On Monday, the Court will hear oral arguments in the case, and the Justices will confront the most pervasive forces in American society: the private-public censorship industry, the influence of the Intelligence Community, and the Biden Administration’s repeated attacks on free expression.

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

Hubbard: Georgia judge overseeing 2020 election case dismisses some charges against Trump

The Fulton County judge overseeing the Georgia 2020 election case dismissed some charges against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, although other charges remain. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said six charges listed in the indictment must be quashed, including three counts against Trump, per court documents. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case. “As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited,” McAfee wrote in his decision.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Sailer: The NIH Sacrifices Scientific Rigor for DEI

Thanks to a grant from the National Institutes of Health, Cornell University is able to support several professors in fields including genetics, computational biology and neurobiology. In its funding proposal, the university emphasizes a strange metric for evaluating hard scientists: Each applicant’s “statement on contribution to diversity” was to “receive significant weight in the evaluation.” It might seem counterintuitive to prioritize “diversity statements” while hiring neurobiologists—but not at the NIH. The agency for several years has pushed this practice across the country through its Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation program—First for short—which funds diversity-focused faculty hiring in the biomedical sciences. Through dozens of public-records requests, I have acquired thousands of pages of documents related to the program—grant proposals, emails, hiring rubrics and more. The information reveals how the NIH enforces an ideological agenda, prompting universities and medical schools to vet potential biomedical scientists for wrongthink regarding diversity.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Chang: TikTok: China’s Instrument of War

If you have TikTok on a device, you are getting what the Communist Party of China (CCP) wants you to see. The Chinese regime has used its algorithm to disseminate pro-Hamas disinformation, Russian narratives about the Ukraine war, and other pro-CCP propaganda. The Party also uses the app to try to destroy America’s young, by flooding them with messages promoting illegal drug use, self-harm, and even suicide.
The TikTok bill… does not violate the First Amendment […] Congress is not trying to regulate what appears on the app […] it does not regulate the content of what is posted.
China’s Communist Party this month mobilized TikTok’s American users, with deceptive messages, to contact their elected representatives to block the House legislation. Users did so in droves. Imagine if TikTok, in different circumstances, were to push China’s other political messages, such as urging the abandonment of, say, Taiwan.
China has even weaponized TikTok, turning it into an instrument of war. The CCP wages what it calls “unrestricted warfare” against America.
The Communist Party of China has no constitutional right to attack America.

REPUBLICAN U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY

Shepardson: US House passes bill to force ByteDance to divest TikTok or face ban

The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill on Wednesday that would give TikTok’s Chinese owner ByteDance about six months to divest the U.S. assets of the short-video app, or face a ban, in the greatest threat to the app since the Trump administration.

The bill passed 352-65 in a bipartisan vote, but it faces a more uncertain path in the Senate where some favor a different approach to regulating foreign-owned apps posing security concerns. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Senate will review the legislation.

The measure is the latest in a series of moves in Washington to respond to U.S. national security concerns about China, from connected vehicles to advanced artificial intelligence chips to cranes at U.S. ports.

Whedon: Johnson suggests next Congress may alter ‘motion to vacate’ rules

The “motion to vacate” is a procedural mechanism by which currently a single member of the House may move to force a vote on removing the speaker. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to the provision during the January 2023 leadership contest that saw conservative lawmakers press him for concessions. He was ousted in October using that same mechanism.

Johnson: Climate Change Data Is Based on Fraud, and Scientists Around the World Are Pushing Back Against the Narrative

n an attempt to save the world from “climate change,” the United States government is spending trillions of dollars on multiple projects that rely on dishonest marketing tactics, money laundering schemes, insider trading and crony capitalism. At the root of the climate crisis hysteria is data FRAUD, and scientists around the world are pushing back against the climate change narrative. Governments around the world are combating a fictional problem that is blown completely out of proportion when compared to actual issues that people face. To make matters worse, the Biden regime adheres to dogma and relies on its most recent National Climate Assessment report to argue that human activities are accelerating global warming. The policies coming out of D.C seek to restrict, control or modulate human activities at scale to save the planet from temperatures changes that are out of our control anyway. […] According to three independent scientists with the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences, (CERES) these data flaws are so severe that they render the temperature data — and the models that rely on it — useless.

Freedman: Exclusive: Bloomberg to give $200 million for emissions cuts in 25 U.S. cities

The charitable organization founded by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg will spend $200 million to help leaders of 25 U.S. cities tap into federal funding opportunities to cut their emissions. Why it matters: The funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies could allow these cities to grow their building and transportation networks in ways that limit greenhouse gas emissions. The big picture: The initiative, announced first to Axios, will be known as Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities. It gives mayors access to both funding and expertise to tap into federal funding for emissions reductions. […] Zoom in: The cities chosen for the program include Akron, Ohio, Birmingham, Ala., Charlotte, N.C., Cleveland, Montgomery, Ala., Nashville, Tenn., Newport News and Hampton, Va.; as well as St. Louis, Mo., among others. […] The intrigue: The selected cities won’t just receive money, but expertise too. Each city will be matched with an “innovation team” with up to three dedicated staff to help cities move forward on climate mitigation and equity. […] What they’re saying: . . .

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

LaChance: West Point Removes the Words ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ From Its Mission Statement

West Point Superintendent Army Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland on Monday announced a new mission statement for the venerable institution that replaces the words “duty, honor, country” for the more generic “Army values.” The West Point’s previous mission statement was: To educate, train and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army. The new statement says: […] The change is being harshly criticized on Twitter/X. The hollowing of our military is progressing at breakneck speed. West Point is removing “Duty, Honor, Country” from its motto. Would you send your sons and daughters to West Point now?

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

Tobin: Biden’s problem is with Democrats who hate Israel, not Netanyahu

It seems that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is feuding with another American president. That’s what the White House and its corporate-media echo chamber cheerleaders at publications at The New York Times and broadcast outlets like MSNBC would like you to believe. As was the case during the administrations of Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Netanyahu has become the foreign leader mostly likely to be bashed by President Joe Biden and his foreign-policy team. They see him as an obstacle to the policies they wish to pursue, as well as a political problem heading towards the November election. And they’re employing the same tactics that official Washington always uses when it comes to undermining Israeli leaders it doesn’t like or can’t seem to work with. But this time, it isn’t limited to presidential sniping at the prime minister in interviews, “hot mic” moments, and leaks aimed at discrediting and toppling his government. The administration is determined to make it appear that Netanyahu is conducting a brutal and losing war effort, trying to blow up the U.S.-Israel alliance and is on the brink of being tossed out of power by his own people.

Biden’s ‘Trojan Pier’ for Gaza

Six Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas, and Biden has sent no troops to help them, but at the State of the Union address, he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza. The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza. Nothing about this plan makes sense. […] According to the administration, there will be no ‘boots on the ground’ constructing the pier and according to a Pentagon spokesman, “it will not be U.S. military personnel that are transporting the aid off of the causeway into Gaza.” So who has the trucks and capability to actually do it? […] While administration officials describe the pier as “temporary”, a senior official also admitted that “we look forward to the port transitioning to a commercially operated facility over time.” That means it’s not actually meant to be temporary, but a permanent port for the terrorists. The administration claims […] So what is the permanent pier actually for?

Huntley: Biden’s Dangerous Mideast Fantasy

Hamas invaded southern Israel Oct. 7, massacred Israeli civilians from babies to bubbes, raped women and girls, burned bodies of the murdered and took hostages of all ages. President Biden looked at this and concludes — the Palestinians deserve a state of their own so they can live in peace with Israel. Deluded, foolish, dangerous fantasy! How else can you characterize his out-of- touch, clueless declarations about the Israel-Hamas war in the State of the Union address last week? His statements about the Israel-Hamas war were remarkably unfriendly to Israel, descending into condensation, conceit and braggadocio in remarks captured in an open-mike moment. […] There was no demand for the savages responsible for this tragic war to surrender. No use of the word “must” to insist Hamas end the suffering in Gaza. No, Biden reserved his tough language, his demands, his diktats for the Israelis:—Israel has a “fundamental responsibility … to protect innocent civilians.” —“Israel must do its part” to help provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.—“To the leadership of Israel, I say” that the “only real solution is a two-state solution.”

Stewart: ‘Nuclear weapons exist in order to use them’ warns Putin as he declares ‘we are ready’ to go head-to-head with America if US troops are deployed in Ukraine

‘From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready,’ the 71-year-old dictator declared in an interview with state-controlled Rossiya-1 television. In unsettling comments, he reminded the state-controlled channel that Russia‘s nuclear doctrine permitted use of nuclear weapons in the event of a perceived threat to national security. ‘Weapons exist in order to use them,’ he declared. ‘We have our own principles.’ He warned that if US troops are deployed in Russia or Ukraine, Putin will view this as American intervention in a war he declared two years ago.

Walters: A Big-Picture Defense of Taiwan and a Free and Open Indo-Pacific

In late January, a delegation from Hudson Institute visited Taiwan to congratulate the island’s new democratically elected leaders and exchange views on our common struggle against the Chinese Communist Party—the world’s most dangerous Marxist-Leninist tyranny.

We saw a strong sense of Taiwanese identity and national pride in having conducted a peaceful democratic election. We also saw a growing economy with technological superiority, especially in advanced semiconductors. And we met with a leadership working to counter the intimidation, subversion, and aggression of the Chinese Communist regime. The Taiwanese are no more willing to come under the dominion of a large, aggressive neighbor than Ukrainians are. They understand the aggressive ambitions of Xi Jinping and the longstanding CCP goal of complete political control over Taiwan. They have seen the CCP shred its commitment to the political autonomy of Hong Kong and its willingness to apply its police-state tactics against those standing up for freedom there. Although Taiwan has declined to declare itself an independent state, the Taiwanese people are unwilling to compromise or forgo their de facto independence. If the CCP attacks, they are prepared to fight.

VDH: Elite Heaven or Real Hell on Earth?

The horrific murder of Laken Riley by a repeated felony offender and illegal alien Jose Ibarra, 26, a Venezuelan citizen, was preventable—had federal immigration laws simply been enforced by the Biden administration. […] Biden’s woke open-borders agenda supersedes any worry over the subsequent mounting number of Americans who have fallen victim to foreign gangs and criminals. He seems oblivious to the nearly 100,000 Americans who die from fentanyl imported across open borders. The same idea of abstract humanity juxtaposed with concrete callousness towards humans characterizes much of the current leftist agenda.

Shurk: Our Fake, Fake, Fake World

America’s commitment to individual liberty, private property, and free speech once distinguished it from all other countries in the world. When it began betraying those commitments and exporting a brand of “rules-based international order” scarcely different from those devised under monarchical empires of the past, it became a global ambassador for fake freedom. And in a world where freedom is fake everywhere, happiness appears to be fake, too. Polls from countries around the world continue to show that humans are dreadfully unhappy. […] Perhaps a growing share of the population sees this glittery globalist cage as disappointingly fake. What happens when the world is driven mad by frauds, hoaxes, and shams? Social revolutions begin. In search of meaningful lives, people will reject the fake authorities that control them. One of the first things to go will be today’s fake . . .

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ABOLISH THE NUCLEAR FAMILY

Revolver.news: Well, it’s official: millennials have “nuked” the nuclear family and changed America forever…

Millennials are reshaping the American dream, but perhaps not for the better. The decline in marriages and a growing reluctance to have children are chipping away at the traditional “nuclear family” concept that this nation was built on. They are being heavily influenced by media propaganda and the push from left-wing radicals. However, don’t be fooled; this isn’t just some lifestyle choice—it’s a dramatic and dangerous shift that will fundamentally alter the fabric of American society. Millennials are getting caught up in this skewed idea that having fewer kids is their way to “save the planet.” It’s a twisted message, and, frankly, it’s not even close to the truth. […] Millennial women in their 40s are at the forefront of this trend, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon.

Shocking footage captured on a cell phone shows the moment a vicious fifth-grade female student beat up a little boy on a school bus while the woke school the children attend kept the footage from the victim’s father. As Real News Michiana (RNM) reported, the incident occurred in Niles, Michigan, on March 4 and involved Ballard Elementary School students. The video opens with the boy staring at his cell phone when the girl starts smacking him around for about nine seconds. […] At various points in the video, you can hear shouting and profanity from several kids, in addition to the assailant. A few children also start giggling at roughly the :09 and :46 marks. The adults on the school bus never intervene at any moment as the boy is pounded.

Saunt: Inside the dark and toxic underbelly of kids TV: Haunting documentary exposes rampant ‘abuse, pedophilia, and child PORN’ behind Nickelodeon’s most popular TV shows – as actor Drake Bell details the ‘brutal’ assaults he suffered while filming at AGE 15

An upcoming documentary is set to expose the hidden underbelly of children’s TV as former cast and crew make shocking claims about the ‘toxic environment’ at Nickelodeon – including accusations of child abuse and ‘pedophiles on set.’ Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV promises to ‘pull back the curtain on an empire, built by creator Dan Schneider, that had an undeniable grip on popular culture’ in the 1990s and early 2000s. Schneider, who was described as ‘Nickelodeon’s golden boy,’ is said to have ‘launched the careers of child actors who became major stars’ including Miranda Cosgrove, Jamie Lynn Spears and Ariana Grande. But there was a much more chilling tale behind the scenes. Here, FEMAIL digs deeper into the claims as Investigation Discovery gets set to launch its four-part docuseries.

Spencer: Italy: Catholic Diocese Urges Faithful to Participate in Islamic Prayers During Ramadan

Another Ramadan is upon us, and as is always the case, the eager-to-be-fooled infidels are out in force. A Catholic diocese in Italy has just called upon priests and laypeople to seek out opportunities to participate in Ramadan observances, as a gesture of goodwill toward Muslims. When will Muslim leaders tell Muslims to participate in Christian worship to show friendship with Christians? Don’t hold your breath. The Catholic Herald reported Friday that the Italian diocese of Bergamo is “instructing its priests to participate in Islamic rituals, citing Pope Francis’ directives on inter-religious dialogue.” Diocesan officials issued a directive “urging priests to seek out opportunities for inter-religious dialogue during the ‘holy month’ of Ramadan by inviting the faithful to join in praying with Muslims and joining in the Iftar ritual meal.” […] It was even worse last year, when the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue issued a message to Muslims for Ramadan, entitled . . .

Ibrahim: How Carnage and Atrocities ‘Heal Muslim Hearts’

In a recent communiqué, the Islamic State called on its followers to slaughter and terrorize every single Western person they could reach. A snippet follows (emphases added): Lions of Islam: Chase your preys whether Jewish, Christian or their allies, on the streets and roads of America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them and steal their peace of mind by any means you can lay hands on. […] Of curious interest here is not so much the sadistic though ultimately hackneyed calls for carnage, but rather the claim that torturing, terrorizing, and tearing infidels apart somehow “eases the sufferings in the hearts of the believers” and “satisfies the soul.” Such claims are actually derived from Islam’s most sacred text. […] Such is the true cult of jihad, which few non-Muslims can begin to comprehend — and little wonder, considering that their political leaders and media do everything possible to present Islam as the (perpetually misunderstood) “religion of peace.”

Parker: Do Rank-and-File Leftists Realize They’re Being Scammed by Their Ruling Class?

The dirty little secret about the wealth distribution of the leftist ruling class is that they only redistribute the wealth—to themselves. Have you ever considered why leftist ruling-class leaders are extraordinarily rich while they also preach wealth redistribution? And why is it that leftists never bring this up? Look at the evidence down through history and around the world, and you will see the same pattern repeated with every leftist regime. Let’s begin with the now-defunct USSR, which was supposed to be a utopic “worker’s paradise”; what manifested were crammed apartment blocks and queues for bread and toilet paper, while the “select few” of the nomenklatura lived in luxury. It’s been reported that Mikhail Gorbachev, the last USSR leader, had a net worth of $5 million. Then there is the leftist leader about whom the national socialist media can’t stop talking, whose final objective of a “Classless German Society” was undermined when it was revealed he “Loved Money and Died Rich”. And speaking of dictators adored by leftists, let’s not forget the far-left’s idol Fidel Castro, who made the usual promises and had a […] Then of course, back in the states, we have…

O’Neill: Tyranny in drag

It is high time we dismantled the phoney progressive rhetoric of the woke agenda. Would you vote for a party that promised to let men parade around bollock-naked in women’s changing rooms? Or a party that was alarmingly blasé about gay kids being ‘corrected’ with drugs and surgery? Or a party that threatened to clamp down on thought criminals who refer to people with penises and testicles – you know, men – as men? If not, then don’t vote Labour in the upcoming General Election. Because it’s possible it will pursue all of these petty tyrannical policies.

Of course, it isn’t using these actual words. It isn’t saying, ‘We will fight for the right of men to show their knobs to women at the gym’. Even Labour knows that would be a vote-loser. Instead, its authoritarianism will arrive wrapped in euphemism. Its regressive agenda will be smuggled in under progressive-sounding slogans. Rather than saying, ‘Men should be allowed to piss in any bathroom they bloody well choose’, Labour says: ‘We will modernize gender-recognition processes.’ It amounts to the same thing, though: if we get into government we will make it easier for men to masquerade as women.

This crisis has only gotten worse since the COVID “pandemic.” […] This latest incident with the CNN reporter has a lot of people asking what is happening in India. In the clip below, you can see the female reporter encircled by men, shouting for someone to “stop” their actions, right as the lights cut out. […] The culture of rape in India is a stark reality. It’s sad to say, but some might argue that in India, being a cow is met with more respect than being a woman.
