🚨BREAKING — FBI just arrested an October 7th attacker in Louisiana.

The 33-year-old man took part in the Hamas attack on Israel, & then traveled to the U.S. on a fraudulent visa UNDER JOE BIDEN.

This is why secure borders are absolutely crucial.

Grateful that the @FreeBeacon has exposed this. No one should be shocked by this!

🚨Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed landed a $9,000-a-month consulting contract with Wayne County just six days after launching his campaign, allowing him to bill taxpayers roughly $300 an hour while running for office, the Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman reports.

Public records obtained by the Free Beacon show that Wayne County approved the deal on April 23, less than three weeks after El-Sayed resigned as director of its health services department. The eight-month contract authorized up to $72,000 for 30 hours of work per month providing “strategic support” during the leadership transition.

The payments were routed through AME Higher LLC, an entity El-Sayed created as a pass-through for consulting and speaking fees. “The news comes as El-Sayed has faced questions over his use of a tax loophole to avoid payroll and income taxes on payments he received through AME Higher LLC,” Goodman writes. His latest financial disclosure shows that he paid himself a $64,000 salary from the company and took another $103,000 as a “member draw,” a common strategy for avoiding payroll taxes, accountants told the Free Beacon.

The Wayne County deal was not El-Sayed’s only consulting work during the campaign. He has also collected more than $82,000 from One Health Partners, a Chicago-area nonprofit health care company that former employees have called a “scam.” The Free Beacon reported that the company focuses on buying medical practices and “exploiting Medicare” to increase revenue. It is run by Ali Karim, one of El-Sayed’s largest campaign donors, who was sanctioned by Wisconsin regulators for defrauding an investor and has been accused of fraudulent business practices in multiple lawsuits.

El-Sayed has bragged about his two-year tenure running Wayne County’s health department on the campaign trail, claiming he “led the rebuild from the studs” of its troubled juvenile detention facility. Investigators, however, found the facility “flooded with sewage and garbage” and littered with “dried feces and bodily fluids.” The facility later lost its full operational license and was placed on probation by state regulators.

So people keep going back to “Israel invaded the land” and “Israel stole the land” and “Nakba-this” and “Nakba-that” and all sorts of other stories about why they justify Oct 7 and why Israel is in the wrong.

Let’s clear a few things up.

The land that is now Israel was lived in by both Muslims and Jews for a long time. If you want to get technical about who was there first, it was the Jews. How do we know this for a fact? Well, first of all, Jews have been around for about 2000 years longer than Muslims.

Not enough for you?

OK. How about the fact that the word “Israel” is mentioned in the Quran about 43 times. Palestine? Never once.

Jewish people have been around longer than Muslim people have – fact.

Jewish people were living in the place where Israel is much longer than Arabs have – also fact.

In about 1250 BCE, the Jewish people went to what was then called Canaan – where Israel sits today. This is when they escaped slavery in Egypt, and wandered the dessert for 40 years. 1250BCE. About 1860 years before the founding of Islam.

Fast forward to modern times. 1940s. Yes, there were both Arab-Muslims and Jews living on the land that is now called Israel. And yeah, there was fighting. On both sides.

After the Holocaust, the push for the Jewish people to have their own country intensified. During WWII, too many countries turned their backs on Jews. A Jewish homeland would ensure that Jews always had somewhere to go. There could never be another Holocaust, another ethnic cleansing of Jews.

Additionally, the UK was tired of dealing with all the fighting in the British Mandate of Palestine (what Israel was called before it was Israel), and wanted to wash their hands of it.

So what did they do?

They offered to split the land amongst the two groups living there. The Arab-Muslims and the Jews. Sounds fair, right? Each could have their own State, completely autonomous. Pretty good deal, wouldn’t you think?

I think it was a good deal. The Jews thought it was a good deal. Do you know who didn’t think it was a good deal? The Arab-Muslims. Do you know why? Because they didn’t want the Jews to have anything.

So the day after Israel became a nation, the Arabs attacked. 5 Arab nations attacked, in what would be known as the Arab-Israeli war.

Do you know what else it became known as? The Nakba. Nakba for catastrophe. Because they lost. The Arab world says it’s because Arabs were displaced. But they chose to be displaced. Because they chose not to accept their own nation. They left. They ran away. Because they thought the Jews would lose and they'd be able to go back.

The Arabs have been fighting ever since. At some point in time in the 1960s, the Arab-Muslims who were trying to claim Israel as theirs, started to refer to themselves as Palestinians.

Land has been offered. A Palestinian state has been offered. All that the Palestinians had to do, was accept Israel’s right to exist. To stop attacking and trying to destroy them.

Why don’t the Palestinians have their own State?

Because they refuse to. They refuse to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.

Muslim nations in this world, take up 29.13 million square km.

Israel is 21,671 square km.

Jews have 0.1% of the land that Muslims have.

And according to the Radicalized Muslims, that’s too much.

This isn’t about the land.

This is about Radicalized Muslims not wanting Jews to exist.

Why I left the Democratic Party — and why California voters should, too: 'The change among Democrats is due to the fact that young people are becoming more involved in politics. Remember, young people brought Hitler to power, and Castro, and Stalin. Young people still have pictures of Che Guevara, a murderer, on their college dormitory walls...We’re seeing the radical, anti-civil liberties left dominating campus.'

BOOM! SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH JUST HIT 9 OUT OF 10 SHOTS IN ONE TAKE AT THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY.

He did morning PT with the cadets first, then walked into Clune Arena and started draining buckets like it was nothing.

Can you imagine Lloyd Austin pulling this off, when that guy couldn't even tell the President he was in the hospital?

Hegseth is setting the standard for these cadets on the field, on the court, and in the fight.

It's a great way to fire everybody up before Air Force takes on Navy today.

Leaders who show up and compete are exactly what our military has been missing for way too long!

[Radically Right @RadicallyRight_]

When a guy like Bill Maher is the one saying it, people on the left are far more likely to listen, and in this case, his own audience was applauding him.

He pointed to the DSA’s Marxist Unity Group, which openly names communism as its goal, cited a DSA figure calling to “elect more communists,” and then mentioned a pledge from two Democratic congressmen affirming capitalism, public safety and pride in America that only eight of 212 Democrats signed.

Maher is not a Republican trying to make a conservative argument. He is talking to his own side about what he sees happening inside the Democratic Party, where people are pushing ideas like no police, no prisons, no borders, and in some cases openly embracing a completely different political and economic system.

He even said his own vote is in play because he is not going to support someone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or who cheers the Intifada like it is a sporting event, and that is exactly why I am glad he said it. Conservatives can repeat these warnings over and over, and a lot of people on the left will dismiss them before they even listen, but when Bill Maher says it to his own audience and they applaud him, maybe some of those people will finally hear it.

HOT TAKE: The GOP not codifying most DOGE cuts is the single stupidest decision in the history of Republican Party.

They ALL talked about cutting spending... and that's all they did.

Elon came in with a team and a plan...

...and the GOP didn't give a damn, so disappointing

Gavin Newsom uses the open of his podcast to sign a bill forcing companies to dig for slavery ties -- and make them public.

"This is a bill that requires large companies that operated before 1965 to search their records for ties to slavery, going back to 1849."

"And then we make it public."

"Accountability starts with the truth."

He's announcing the launch of a corporate guilt record to set the stage for reparations, set to a cheesy soundtrack.

This guy wants to be president.
