I'm not someone who "attacks" JD Vance. I've said he has generational level talent as a political animal.

But I question the depth of his commitment to the conservative cause given that he's identified three of his favorite politicians as Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Tulsi Gabbard.

He has put his brand of economic populism in his sock drawer, but it's still there.

I have no use for Tulsi Gabbard going back 20 years -- she's another Bernie Sanders acolyte who has drifted into the GOP community on the back of isolationism, and anyone who breaks bread with an antisemite con man like Tucker Carlson has miles to travel to gain my support.

When Saladin took Jerusalem, he destroyed all the crosses, including the relic of the True Cross which the Muslims took in battle. They paraded them before Christians before destroying them, even urinating on some of them.

He had 200-300 Christian Knights beheaded while he watched.

He had 8000 women and children enslaved that day alone, including noble women and nuns forced into concubinage. Muslims enthusiastically described the deflowering and r*pe of the Christian women.

Through his entire campaign it's estimated that 40-50k Christians were enslaved.

This is what modern Hollywood films present us instead. Interfaith dialogue and a Saladin who respects the cross more than....the Crusaders.

This is how you end up with CAIR endorsed candidates winning office. A population fed CAIR endorsed films like this one.

[Betz @allen_brutus]

Wooooaaahhhh....no WAY. That's CRAAAAAAZY, man.

1. You can get 23+Me in Israel
2. 50% of Israelis are middle Eastern Jews (Mitzrahim)
3. Ashkenazim are 30% of Israelis, and are themselves half Levantine by ancestry, the other half is mostly Italian, not surprising considering they were taken to Rome as slaves
4. Antisemite was not a term made by Jews, it was made by racists in Vienna to replace the word Jüdenhaß - Jew hate- because it sounded more academic. They picked a cool nick name for themselves.
5. There were waves of immigration to the holy land during the time most of the Jews were exiled- from Byzantines to Circassians and Bedouins. Syrians and Jordanians are also Levantine and are indistinguishable from Arabs in Palestine by genetics.

6. The only part I agree with is that antisemitism dumb term and we should call them jew-haters

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

So what if a Muslim wins an election in America and becomes a congressman or senator? Why is that any different from a Buddhist winning an election?

Because Buddhism is a religion. Islam is a state.

Islam has a population: the ummah. It has a constitution: Sharia. It has courts, criminal law, family law, taxation, rules for minorities, doctrines of war and peace, and a foreign-policy framework governing relations between the land of Islam and the lands outside it.

The ummah is not tied to Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, or any other modern country. It crosses all of them.

Islam's population "Muslims" belong to one political-religious community.

That is fundamentally different from Buddhism.

A Buddhist American may practice Buddhism faithfully, but Buddhism does not give him a second universal political order with its own law, sovereignty, territorial doctrine, and theory of government.

Islam does.

This is why reducing Islam to “just another religion” misses the point.

Muslim officeholders are literally citizens of another existing country, and their loyalties can never be American first, because the two projects are contradictory.

Add to that the religious hatred of Jews in Islam and the special relationship between Israel and America.

A Muslim in a position of power in America, with a religious mandate to hate Jews, will not approach Israel from the perspective of what is in America’s best interest, but rather from the perspective of what Islam commands him to do.

In order to be born, you needed:

2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years.

Think for a moment:
How many struggles?
How many battles?
How many difficulties?
How much sadness?
How much happiness?
How many love stories?
How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

U.S. military aid to Israel has always been a red herring, a convenient talking point for bad-faith actors on both extremes of the political spectrum, including some running for public office today.

It accounts for 0.054% of the federal budget – less than what the U.S. government spends in a day and a half merely paying interest on the national debt.

The notion that eliminating it will have any effect on American families is laughable.

With one notable exception: the families of some 20,000 employees of the U.S. defense industry, where virtually all of the aid is spent. Those jobs exist in large part because of Israeli spending on U.S. military hardware and they could very well be endangered if that spending is reduced or cut.

The reality is that American military aid to Israel functions largely as a subsidy for the U.S. defense industry, and while it has been an important component of Israel’s defense budget and its elimination will require Israeli military and budget planners to reevaluate their projections, Israel will adjust and will emerge freer, more independent, and more self-sufficient.

I’m not sure the same can be said of those 20,000 families.

[Raylan Givens @JewishWarrior13]

🚨 MUST READ: Brian Kilmeade asked Trump on Fox News whether cutting aid to Israel was a mistake, arguing that Israel gives the United States far more in return. Trump responded that Netanyahu himself requested the move. He said Netanyahu understands how the left repeatedly uses U.S. aid to attack Israel—and that ending it would remove that talking point and give Israel greater freedom of action. Trump also called Israel the greatest ally the United States has ever had and said America would help Israel if it needed assistance.

From another friend:

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"
DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop.
When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those who did not return."
You could have heard a pin drop.
There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?"
You could have heard a pin drop.
A U.S. Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian, and French navies at a cocktail reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
You could have heard a pin drop.
AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
You could have heard a pin drop.
I am proud to be an American, and proud of this God given heritage!

Victor Davis Hanson with the uncomfortable truth 🔥

“They ethnically cleansed almost a million Jews from Arab countries between 1948–1973.
No one talks about that.

But only the Palestinians still claim ‘refugee’ status 78 years later.

When Poland was recreated, 12 million Germans walked back to Germany. Two million died.
You don’t see Germans today waving keys to apartments in Danzig screaming ‘I’m a refugee.’

Cypriots lost 40% of their land to Turkey.
Jews from Damascus, Cairo, Baghdad, the Gulf — kicked out, property stolen.
None of them still play the eternal refugee card.

Israel left Gaza in 2005 with hundreds of millions in greenhouses and infrastructure.
What did they do? Looted it.
Took $40–50 billion in aid… and built rockets and 500 miles of tunnels instead of a real state.

We’re supposed to feel sorry for people who chose this path?”

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

There was once a shepherd who found a wolf caught in a snare at the edge of his pasture.

The wolf begged to be freed.

“I was hungry,” it said. “That is all. Spare me, and I will remember your mercy!”

The shepherd cut the rope.

The next night, three lambs were gone.

Again the shepherd found the wolf. Again it pleaded. Again the shepherd convinced himself that mercy was proof of his goodness.

By winter, half the flock was dead.

An old farmer finally asked him, “Why do you keep freeing it?”

The shepherd answered, “Because I refuse to become cruel.”

The farmer looked at the empty field and said, “Then understand what you have done. You were not merciful to the wolf. You were cruel to everything that trusted you to keep them safe.”

That’s the lesson.

Mercy without judgment isn’t virtue. When someone openly intends to destroy what has been entrusted to you, endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.

[AP @Average_NY_Guy]

Whenever something happens to a Jew anywhere in the world, there’s an outcry from one end of the world to the other.

Know why? Because we Jews make sure there is. We care, we speak up, and we turn the world upside down until people pay attention.

Many people get annoyed by this, view it negatively, or call it “international Jewry,” as though caring deeply about your own people is something sinister.

But the fact is that this solidarity helps deter violence. And I know for certain that if, God forbid, something happened to me, Jews thousands of miles away who have never even heard my name would make sure the whole world heard about it.

And this is why I genuinely cannot understand, for the life of me, why we hear so little from Christians when their fellow Christians are being slaughtered around the world.

Over the last 12 months, a priest in Jerusalem having trouble entering a church during the Iran war received a million times more attention than the poor Nigerian Christians being slaughtered on a regular basis.

Your people shouldn’t have to become a political talking point or a trending topic on X before you decide their lives are worth defending.

Stand up for them when there’s no political advantage, no applause, and nothing to gain. Simply because they’re your people. That alone should be reason enough.
