Hi!

[Zeek Arkham 🇺🇸 @ZeekArkham]

So… we’re expected to believe that in California, out of three candidates, the third place candidate, who conceded her campaign because she was mathematically eliminated from the run-off, suddenly received tens of thousands of votes from mail-in votes which all came in *after* Election Day, while the other two candidates received no late mail-in votes, and the second place candidate (who was surging as a Republican candidate in the bluest state in the country) is now in third place and mathematically eliminated from the run-off.

… and we’re supposed to trust that this is an honest and true election.

If you’re not angry about this, you need to be.

The people who found outrageous Nazi symbolism in “Ok” hand signs can’t find it in a Nazi death squad chest tattoo

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

10 years. 10 years. I’ve listened to every Dem & never Trump pundit call Trump, Elon and anyone else who voted Republican a Nazi. And now they line up behind Platner, with an actual Nazi tattoo. Unbelievable.

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand mum on Graham Platner bombshell after leading #MeToo charge against Al Franken https://t.co/gneUSeVBGn

[Brandon Gill @realBrandonGill]

Having realized that young white men in America are becoming more conservative than ever, the Democrat Party set out to find leftist white men who could run for office and try to relate to their concerns.

The result was James Talarico and Graham Platner.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

Back in 2018, Sen. Shelton Whitehouse (D-R.I.), expressed disgust that some would not take Ford’s word for it, declaring, “Today I stand with women who are brave enough to come forward with their stories of abuse and mistreatment. They deserve to be heard and credible allegations must be investigated. We must believe survivors, not bully them.” Now?...https://t.co/4YQxUwI5Mc

[Mike Hackmeister @MikeHackmeister]

At some point, might I suggest a shrug and thinking to oneself, “Fuck these people”?

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

It’s been nearly 12 hours since it came out that Graham Platner sexually abused and threatened women.

AOC? Silent.

Ilhan Omar? Silent.

Chris Van Hollen? Silent.

Ro Khanna? Going to campaign for him.

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

2018. This is the kind of rage Democrats expressed over the uncorroborated allegations against Kavanaugh by Blasey Ford.

Elizabeth Warren has endorsed Platner.

What now, Liz?

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

I don't know if Graham Platner's candidacy survives these latest allegations in the New York Times. It may well do so.

But I do find it the height of hypocrisy that the same Democrats who said that we need to believe all women are rushing to discredit the story because it quotes a GOP operative who dated Platner in the 2010s.

I mean, how do they square that?

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

I'd genuinely like to hear someone explain why Elon Musk doing an autistic wave at inauguration was proof that he is a Nazi who needs to be exiled from public life, but Graham Platner's "Totenkopf" tat is NBD and not disqualifying for a Senate run.

I was dicing tomatoes this morning when my four year old daughter Moana ran into the kitchen with tears in her eyes

“Daddy,” she cried, “did you hear Scott Pelley’s contract with CBS News was terminated?”

I nodded.

“And now his loyal audience won’t be able to see him present the world’s most compelling stories in the nation’s top rated weekly news magazine, will they?”

I reluctantly nodded again.

“Even grandma?”

With that, I lost it. We threw our arms around each other and sobbed.

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

In June 2020, 1,288 public health experts published a letter saying "consciously anti-racist" rallies attended by thousands were justifiable but demonstrations by "white protesters resisting stay-home orders" were not, shredding public trust in authority that has not recovered.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

🙋‍♂️ Umm what can be worse than being an actual Nazi?

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

America routinely taking days/weeks to count ballots now is f’n hilarious. They might as well announce results in Hamburglar costumes

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

You'd think Scott Pelley had a Nazi tattoo the way Democrats are defending him.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

...It is reminiscent of Sunny Hostin saying that he is "a liar, a racist, an antisemite...a homophobe," but she still supports him over a moderate Republican woman. https://t.co/f4nAczqH1v It would all be a sign of partisan blindness, but this is unblinking, unapologetic rage.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Like honestly "it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election" is failed state shit and should be much more stigmatized.
