The resistance front can defend itself,”

Blocking Statements About Special Counsel, Witnesses 4 replies
Former President Donald Trump will appeal a gag order issued Tuesday by the federal judge overseeing his 2020 election case.
Trump filed his notice of appeal just hours after U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, issued the written order. Chutkan partially granted the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) proposed order from the bench Monday, blocking Trump in the written order Tuesday from making public statements targeting Special Counsel Jack Smith or his staff, the defense counsel or their staff, court staff and “any reasonably foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.”
Jo Malone’s son Josh Willcox responded on his Instagram account to claims he was part of a group of Harvard students who blamed Israel for Hamas’ deadly October 7th attack, according to the New York Post (NYP). (snip)
“I therefore do not support the letter’s attribution of blame for Saturday’s attacks to Israel. Terrorism is never justified under any circumstances. I have not been on the Harvard campus this semester and was not involved in the drafting or release of the letter. Throughout my time at university, I’ve tried to stand up for the human rights of all people even when our campus and global community seemed heartbreakingly silent.”

Anti-Israel Letters 12 replies
Top law firm Davis Polk announced that they have rescinded job offers from Harvard and Columbia students who signed onto anti-Israel statements in the wake of the Hamas terror attacks, according to NBC News.
The law firm sent an internal email explaining their decision to walk back employment offers from these students, NBC News reported Tuesday.
“These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” the email said.
Joe Biden’s nominee to be Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, oversaw the infamous “pallets of cash” transfer of funds to Iran while serving as former President Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary in 2016. (snip) As Treasury Secretary, Lew oversaw the transfer of the initial $400 million payment on Jan. 17, 2016, which was delivered in the now-infamous form of foreign cash carried on a number of pallets by aircraft. (snip) “Jack Lew is an Iranian sympathizer who has no business being the U.S. ambassador to Israel,” Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton said Sunday. “The Senate should not confirm him.”

The suspects then jumped into the car and drove off before abandoning the vehicle in an undisclosed location and carjacking a young woman in the area 30 minutes later, the NOPD confirmed.
The rapper Waka Flocka Flame has endorsed former President Donald Trump’s bid to retake the White House in 2024, posting his endorsement to X on Monday.
Waka Flocka Flame let his more than 1 million X followers know in no uncertain terms that he has boarded the Trump train. The endorsement from Waka Flocka Flame comes as the Biden administration continues to alienate large numbers of black voters — especially in poor, urban areas — by allowing illegal aliens to flood the country and come to their neighborhoods, where they receive taxpayer-funded benefits that are denied to U.S. citizens.

Quick To Issue Statements About George
Floyd, January 6 1 reply
Universities across the country that were quick to take stances on events like the death of George Floyd or the January 6 Capitol riot are either refusing to take an institutional stance on the terrorist attacks in Israel or correcting prior statements to explicitly condemn Hamas after facing backlash. (snip) Harvard initially released a statement failing to condemn the terrorists that attacked Israel, according to the Harvard Crimson. The university’s president released an updated response three days after the attacks that did condemn Hamas following community backlash. However, Harvard did not hesitate to condemn the Capitol rioters, or Russia for invading Ukraine, issuing statements the day both events occurred.

Californians are complaining about barely-clothed prostitutes roaming the streets in broad daylight, an issue heightened by Democratic Gov. Newsom signing Senate Bill 357, local officials say.
SB 357, which was authored by Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener and backed by the ACLU, decriminalizes “loitering with intent to commit prostitution.” Critics say the law effectively decriminalizes prostitution in California. (snip) Chief Nisleit said the law emboldens those trafficking women, “specifically younger women,” and makes it “much harder for us to rescue those victims. (snip) Wiener said he drafted the legislation to protect “trans and black and brown women,” whom he claims are harassed by police for their identity.

(snip) Andriano’s mother, Dorothy Groenert, said her daughter “was ecstatic” before her death. “She was all set up for a whole new lifestyle.” (snip)
The circumstances surrounding her death don’t add up, according to Groenert, and she wants the police to keep investigating.

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was an “appalling” choice for speaker of the House.
Pelosi said, “These House Republicans were just —they didn’t have any interest in the peaceful transfer of power. They were in denial about the election. And for all of the horror of that day, the violence, the desecration of the Capitol, this temple of democracy in the world, the violation of our Constitution, to have that day on the acceptance of the Electoral College vote. The whole thing, the assault on our democracy, after we went back to the Capitol, took the vote, overwhelmingly, the Republicans
CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that he was “very proud” of the 20 Republicans who voted against Rep. Jim Jorden (R-OH) for speaker.
Kinzinger said, “I’m impressed that there’s 20. I was worried this morning because a lot of the hard opposition to Jordan had been capitulating in the last 24 hours, like Mike Rogers from Alabama, Ann Wagner from Missouri. They were ‘hell no’ until they were all in. This is embarrassing for Jim Jordan.”
He continued, “I think this is going to be hard for him to fix. I mean the only thing I can imagine is if he starts cutting deals

Civilian Casualties 34 replies
John Kirby, the White House’s National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, told reporters aboard Air Force Once en route to Israel on Tuesday evening that President Joe Biden would have “tough questions” for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when they met Wednesday morning.
Biden’s trip was intended to show solidarity for Israel in its war against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which attacked Israel without provocation Oct. 7 and murdered 1,400 peoople.
But after Palestinians — and their allies — blamed Israel for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that reportedly killed hundreds of people, Biden appeared to be taking a different stance,
President Joe Biden left the White House on Tuesday afternoon to fly to Israel, a nation still mourning its dead even as it prepares a ground invasion of Gaza and a mission to wipe Hamas from the face of the earth.
Officials say his whistle-stop mission is two fold: To show solidarity with Israel and to help deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Written into that is an even bigger ask. Analysts say Biden must walk a fine line between helping Israel ensure that Hamas terrorists can never repeat of last weekend's murder spree, when they killed at least 1,300 people, without letting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's military operation
Keep this list handy. These are the twenty Republicans who are stealth Democrats and voted against Jim Jordan. Yes, there are some surprises, including John James of Michigan. (snip)Accept things as they are, not as we would pretend them to be.(snip)It is absolutely critical that we know who will align against President Trump in 2024. This list of 20 House “Republicans” should serve as a generally good outline to remember.
Representative Jim Jordan fell short of the necessary 217 votes to become the next speaker of the House in the first round of voting on Tuesday, as a significant number of moderates within the Republican caucus refused to fall in line behind the hardline Ohio lawmaker.
While Republicans remain divided on Jordan, the Democrats unanimously backed House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.), just as they did when former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was elected in January.
At the end of the first ballot, Jeffries garnered 212 votes while Jordan received 200 and 20 others voted against the latter. Neither received a majority

Members of the progressive House "Squad" quickly blamed Israel for a deadly strike on a Christian hospital in Gaza, despite fierce denial from the Israeli government. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted condemnations of the strike within hours of it happening, despite contradictory claims from Israeli and Palestinian officials. Hamas, the terrorist organization that is the de facto government of the Gaza Strip, immediately accused Israel of being behind the strike, and the Israeli Defense Forces attributed the strike to a different Gaza-based terror group known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Omar and Tlaib accepted the Palestinian explanation
Harvard's Arab Alumni Association has appealed for donations to help students' mental health after they were subjected to 'relentless bullying and intimidation' for blaming Israel for the Hamas attacks of October 7.
The Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a letter on October 7, co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations, stating: 'We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.'
The students leading the 33 organizations and the Solidarity Committee were named and faced calls to be blacklisted from future employment. They included the son of British businesswoman Jo Malone.
US troops are making their way to the coast of Israel as the US continues to reiterate its support for the Middle Eastern country, CNN reported.
A defense official who spoke with the outlet said a rapid response force of 2,000 US Marines and sailors is headed toward the coast of Israel. It is unclear if this team would join the heavily armed US Navy carrier strike groups sent to the Mediterranean country's coast on Sunday. The USS Gerald R. Ford arrived last Tuesday, while the USS Eisenhower departed on Saturday.
Fox News reported that the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit was the Marine unit sent to Israel, according
The king of Jordan poured cold water on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s hopes that neighboring Arab countries could take in Palestinian refugees who are fleeing the Gaza Strip ahead of an anticipated ground offensive by the Israeli army.
The rebuff by King Abdullah II was made Tuesday morning at a press conference with Scholz following a meeting in the chancellery in Berlin, which Scholz also used to issue a warning to Iran and to Hezbollah against intervening in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“I think I can speak here on behalf of Jordan … but also our friends in Egypt: This is a red line … no refugees to Jordan
President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is ordering its employees to defy biological reality by referring to transgender coworkers by their “preferred pronouns.”
The HHS, which employs approximately 80,000 people in the United States and abroad, imposed its new “Gender Identity and Non-Discrimination Guidance” late last week, which outlines “employee rights and protections related to gender identity,” according to an alleged HHS email sent to employees and obtained by Catholic News Agency (CNA).
Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian leading the polls in Argentina’s presidential election this month, has made a lot of contentious statements in recent years: Humans did not cause climate change; people should be able to sell their organs; his nation’s currency “is not even good as manure.”
But, to many Argentines, he has done something far worse: attacked the pope.
In 2020, Mr. Milei, a self-identifying Catholic, called Pope Francis an “imbecile” and “the representative of the Evil One on earth” because he defends “social justice.”
