‘Can’t Help Themselves’ replies
Former President Donald Trump said that the 35 Republican House members who voted with Democrats in approving a Jan. 6 Capitol commission bill “can’t help themselves.”In a statement on Thursday, the former president argued that while the GOP has superior policies to Democrats, the Democrats “stick together” and “Republicans don’t.”Because of this, Trump said, Republicans in Congress are perceived by voters as “being ineffective and weak.”
Two fireworks were thrown into a crowd of protesters near Times Square, as pro-Israel and pro-Palestine demonstrations descended into violence. The devices were thrown on Thursday evening and the blast was so loud it was initially thought to be a smoke bomb, a NYPD spokesman told DailyMail.com.The NYPD later clarified that the devices were commercially-bought fireworks, thrown from a car. One person has a minor burn from the fireworks, and the Arson Investigation Squad and the Midtown North Detective Squad are investigating. At least 19 people were arrested, The New York Post reported,
Hunter Biden and his new wife Melissa Cohen met with producers to pitch a reality TV show about the family in 2019, according to upcoming book Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaigns to Defeat Trump. Author Edward-Isaac Dovere claims that Hunter and his new wife 'spent the summer of 2019 in meetings with producers about a hazy concept they had for a reality TV show to highlight his charity work, which he said would also help soften his father's image.'
Dovere, a political journalist for The Atlantic, writes that one of the producers questioned if his father Joe Biden was okay with the idea for a reality show
A first of its kind, LEGO is releasing their first ever LGBTQ-themed set titled, ‘Everyone is Awesome.’ The 346-piece set, which will be released at the beginning of June for Pride Month, contains 11 figures, each with an assigned rainbow color. “I wanted to create a model that symbolizes inclusivity and celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who they love,” the set’s designer, Matthew Ashton, said in a statement Thursday.

Why Does the Left Hate Israel?

As over 3,000 rockets are fired into Israel by Hamas, the establishment of the Democratic Party seems paralyzed over how to respond to the latest Middle East war. It is not just that they fear that the squad, Black Lives Matter, the shock troops of Antifa, and the woke institutions such as professional sports, academia, and the media are now unapologetically anti-Israel. They are in terror also that anti-Israelism is becoming synonymous with rank anti-Semitism. And soon the Democratic Party will end up disdained as much as was the British Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn.
Plugged-in politicos and concerned Americans know that Joe Biden has, in just a few short months, created a nightmarish chaotic situation along the U.S.-Mexico border after his reversal of former President Donald Trump’s enforcement-heavy policies.It was predictable and in fact was predicted: Reducing enforcement of existing laws against illegal immigration; re-implementing ‘catch-and-release’ into the interior; ending ‘Remain in Mexico’; neutering Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and ordering wall construction halted all have produced the desired result.
It should be obvious to every thinking American by now that the Democrats are complete frauds. Among other things, they are frauds with their phony concern over COVID regulations, which they support for political reasons and not out of any concern for the so-called ‘science.”The lastest example of this is the Madame Speaker herself fining four members of the House of Representatives, all Republicans, of course, and issuing warnings to seven others to comply ‘or else.’ As Fox News reported:Four GOP members of Congress were fined $500 for failing to wear a mask on the House floor in protest of the congressional mandate they argue needs to be updated

Kamala Harris ‘go f**k yourself” after she attacked her husband’s positions on public busing during the presidential campaign.A reporter questioned the first lady about the reported story during an event promoting vaccinations for children in Washington, DC.“My goodness,” Jill Biden replied. “That was two years ago. We’ve moved on from that.”The story of Jill Biden’s tirade was revealed by reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere in his book Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Trump and previewed in Politico.Harris debuted her attack on Joe Biden’s record on public busing in a June 2019 Democrat presidential debate.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Coaches with Capital City Youth Bandits say they went in protector mode when they heard at least 20 gunshots during the team’s baseball practice in St. Paul on May 10. "We were pushing kids to the ground and had coaches laying on top of the kids," said Coach Tedric London, co-founder of the team. "I was kind of shook up a bit and I know the kid was for sure." It’s frustrating for the coaches, who say they no longer feel comfortable playing in the fields near Stinson Street. "It feels like it's a continuous thing,"
President Biden sought to take credit for a cease-fire Thursday between Israel and Hamas, despite reports that it was Egypt that brokered the peace.
Biden, who spoke at the White House, included a sentence in his remarks commending Egyptian officials for their "critical role" in ending the fighting. But he repeatedly emphasized the intensive work he said was done by his own administration.
"Over the last 11 days, I spoke with the prime minister six times. I've also spoken with President Abbas and the Palestinian Authority more the once and part of our intense diplomatic engagement," Biden said, "And I want to also thank secretary of state, the secretary of defense,
President Biden on Thursday endorsed an Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas—while vowing the US would help rebuild Gaza and restock Israel’s missile defense system. Biden condemned the militant group Hamas and said he spoke six times during the two-week conflict with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—two times more than was publicly known.(Snip)
Biden also said the US would help replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which shot down many rockets fired from Gaza. “I extend my sincere gratitude to President el-Sisi and the senior Egyptian officials who plays such a critical role in this diplomacy,” Biden said.
Nearly 1,000 Apple employees have signed an internal letter to CEO Tim Cook urging the company to issue a public statement in support of the Palestinian people, The Verge reported Thursday.

Chicago's Mayor Lightfoot announced that she was taking a brief break from running the city into ground to limit interviews to "black and brown reporters".
The media has rightfully condemned the move, but I have to ask, "Why?"
Lightfoot's move is a cynical culture war distraction. Obviously. But she's doing something racist that has become routine in American life.
1. College admissions, employment, and government contracts have long been conditioned on race and skin color.
2. There's been a growing push to oust white authors in literature in favor of minority authors.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday spoke to Jordanian King Abdullah II on behalf of President Biden to brief him on US efforts to support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Biden has not spoken with the Arab nation’s leader since Hamas began firing rockets last week from Gaza into Israel following clashes in Jerusalem. “I spoke with Jordan King Abdullah II to reaffirm our support and express our commitment to continued close cooperation,” Harris wrote on Twitter. “I briefed him on our intensive diplomatic efforts to support the path to a ceasefire in Gaza. The U.S. and Jordan will continue working to deescalate tensions.”
President Joe Biden slammed the 'ugly poison' of racism that's 'plagued' the United States and then signed the anti-Asian hate crime bill at the White House Thursday. He called the bipartisan passage of the legislation 'maybe the first break, the first significant break, in a moment in our history that has to be turned around.' And looked delighted when he first approached the podium with Vice President Kamala Harris to see a mask-less, not socially distant crowd, adhering to the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advice that allows vaccinated people to gather mask-less indoors.

Luc Montagnier, a French virologist and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has recently exposed the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines. Montagnier discussed the issue in an interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media earlier this month, which was exclusively translated from French into English for RAIR Foundation USA.
The vaccines don’t stop the virus, argues the prominent virologist, they do the opposite — they “feed the virus,” and facilitate its development into stronger and more transmittable variants. These new virus variants will be more resistant to vaccination and may cause more health implications than their “original” versions.
The Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward has had it with what she sees as the obstruction in the Maricopa County, Arizona election audit and now she is threatening action.“There have to be consequences,” she said during an appearance on One America News, The Daily Mail reported. “There could be arrests of people who are refusing to comply.”It’s the latest drama to encompass the audit of the 2.1 million ballots in the state’s largest county, which has featured false allegations votes were destroyed and conspiracy theories alleging the ballots were shredded and eaten by chickens, who were then killed to cover up the evidence.
I’m going to “bury the lede,” as they say, on purpose.The reason being, a clear understanding of the fundamental truths of today’s far-left — which now includes the majority of the Democrat Party — is in our best interest to have in mind while watching and closely listening to the clip of COVID-related-comments made by Kamala Harris, further down the page.Rush Limbaugh was fond of saying he “understands liberals better than they understand themselves.” Rush was right, as was usually the case. Moreover, those today who fail to follow Rush Limbaugh’s lead do so at their own peril.Among the fundamental truths of the left is “divide and conquer.”

A 38-year-old homeless man has been busted for the vicious Hell’s Kitchen hate crime in which a chunk of the victim’s finger was bitten off, police said Thursday. Lloyd Revell was picked up early Thursday at the Skyline Hotel on 10th Ave. where homeless have been staying during the pandemic.
The victim, Youya Hua, 48, was walking along W. 43rd St. Tuesday morning, cup of coffee in hand, when he was attacked, said one of his sons. Hua was punched in the face, the son said, and a small chunk was torn from his middle finger when the suspect bit him. “Go back to your country,”

A pair of good Samaritans in Florida stopped to help a deputy who was being attacked by a suspect during a traffic stop this week, a local sheriff said.
Deputy Anthony Zimmerer with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office stopped a black Ford F-150 after the vehicle cut across all lanes of traffic and almost struck him, the sheriff’s office said Wednesday.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office shared deputy bodycam footage of what followed during the stop.
The driver, 41-year-old Frank Padilla Velez, began acting erratically when Zimmerer tried to speak with him, according to the sheriff’s office. As the deputy tried to handcuff him, Padilla hit him in the head

The House on Thursday narrowly passed a nearly $2 billion spending package to bolster security in the Capitol in the wake of the destructive and deadly Jan. 6 riot. Most Republicans opposed the measure, which passed 213-212, with three Democratic members voting "present" and three opposing the bill. GOP lawmakers cited duplicative spending and objected to a provision that adds the National Guard to the Capitol security force.It passed a day after Democrats and 35 Republicans voted to create a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot.“This bill is a first step toward having more security for the building that lodges the legislative branch of government,”
Opposing the commission, which is the closest we might get to a truly bipartisan account of the insurrection, is the wrong thing for the country but the right thing for the party.
So naturally Senate Republicans seem increasingly determined to oppose it, notwithstanding the surprising mini-revolt yesterday by the House GOP.
Any attempt to beat a filibuster and pass the House bill to create a commission begins with the seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in February, but two of those seven sound like they’re voting no — and one of them might be unmovable.
My intention today was to write about the city of Portland’s decision to start cleaning up homeless camps after a year of doing next to nothing about them during the pandemic. But as I was looking at stories about that issue I kept seeing other stories about things happening recently in the city that were pretty shocking.

Tennessee lawmakers have accused President Joe Biden's administration of secretly flying migrant children into their state without consulting them–as Kamala Harris faces growing pressure to visit the southern border to address the crisis. Several videos obtained by WRCB-TV Channel 3 show a handful of planes carrying minor migrants arriving at Chattanooga's Wilson Air Center during overnight hours.

I loved President Trump because he stood up for the ordinary people of America, those who for so long had been kept in cultural servitude by the political elite. Trump endowed ordinary Americans with a sense of possibilities by returning manufacturing jobs to America, restoring our sovereignty as a nation free of global institutions, and, above all, ending the atmosphere of political correctness that had choked free expression for decades.Then, when the elite saw everyday Americans rising above their station, it decided to put them back in their servitude by depriving Trump of a second term, by whatever means necessary. Now the high-paying jobs are disappearing,
On Monday, the delayed due date for filing federal taxes for the last calendar year, the White House made a theatrical show of releasing President Biden’s 2020 tax returns. In so doing, the new administration wanted to show a contrast with Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, who did not release his tax returns.But while the White House emphasized the release of Biden’s returns, it does not want reporters to scrutinize the content of those returns, because doing so would highlight a pattern of hypocritical behavior by the current president and his family. To wit: For the fourth year running, the First Family used a questionable tax loophole
Thomas Lifson caught the fact that Biden made a joke that would have sent journalists screaming to their psychiatrists had President Trump made it: When they asked about Israel, he said he’d run them over. What someone noticed later is that, in addition to threatening violence to journalists who made him uncomfortable, Biden may have been faking that he was driving. Sharp-eyed observers noted that his steering wheel didn’t control the tires and believe that someone else was driving the car. (snip) In fact, if you watch slo-mo footage of the event, it appears very much as if Biden has a dummy steering wheel.

During and after the 2020 election, commentators frequently touted Joe Biden’s character as a major point in his favor. If Trump was unpredictable, aggressive, and uncouth, Biden stood in stark contrast: reliable, collegial, and, above all, empathetic. As Peter Wehner put it in The Atlantic, “In the entire history of American presidential campaigns, there may never have been a wider gap in empathy than between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And it has rarely mattered more.” This was no outlier. Forbes ran a story headlined, “How Empathy Defines Biden.” CNN quoted his many endorsers, all of whom invoked his empathy. Slate summed it up: “Joe Biden is the empathy candidate.”
Israel had a relatively quiet night on Wednesday without rocket sirens since about 1 am until Thursday morning.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough continued the left’s revisionist history of the January 6th Capitol Riots by conjuring up Trump supporters who went to the protest to “kill cops.”“The police had guns drawn to stop the insurrections from coming in and killing members of the House,” Scarborough said. “So, yes, they’re lying.”Joe Scarborough is the one who is lying. In January, days after the Capitol riots, the myth that “capture and kill” teams were among the protesters was debunked.“The top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia said Friday that investigators have not uncovered direct evidence at this point of any ‘kill/capture teams’ targeting elected officials during the U.S. Capitol
The vote in the House over whether to create a “January 6th Commission” has ended. The bill passed, which is expected given who runs the chamber.

They succeeded, with 35 Republicans crossing over to vote in favor of it, not seeming to care that it’s going to be a “bash Republicans” effort, rather than any sort of real investigation.
