The Crime of Speaking Hebrew in Europe

Israeli musician Amit Peled sat down to dinner with a friend at an Italian restaurant in Vienna, Austria. After ordering, he resumed his conversation with his friend, only to have the waiter return and ask what language he was speaking. "I replied casually, ‘English and German.’ ‘No, no,’ he insisted. ‘What were you just speaking now?’ I answered, ‘Hebrew, of course.’ He looked me directly in the eye and said, without hesitation: ‘In that case, leave. I’m not serving you food.’ Just like that.” It's not an isolated incident, not by any means. A group of 44 young French Jews was on a plane from Valencia, Spain,

Apparently "Never Again" has an expiration date. I grew up in the 60's, where every adult actually remembered the holocaust. I am horrified and disgusted that Western civilization has decended to these depths.

The October 7th attacks have emboldened both the Islamists and allied groups in blatant acts of antisemitism. Others, such as the EU and the UK government, are terrified of awakening the jihadists in their midst, so they jail innocents while allowing violence against those who point out the growing problem. I read DC Alden's "The Horse at the Gates" as a work of fiction - but it's becoming increasingly real with each passing day... greyseal

I’m not surprised this happened in Vienna. Austrians were claiming a few years ago that they were “the first victims of the Nazis.” That’s a load of crap. I saw the newsreels of Vienna in 1938 when Hitler went there. They ate it up, waving swastika flags and cheering.

The airline should put a disclaimer on their website that Jews are not permitted on their flights. Tell the world about your prejudice or shut the heck up.

I am very uncomfortable hearing foreign languages in public too. They are free to speak whatever they want and I am equally free to not like it.

This is looking like a return to the bad old days of the 1930s and 40s in Europe and somewhat in the US. If I were Jewish I would leave Europe for Israel and let the Europeans stew in their socialist regulatory states without my tax money and enterprising energy.

The House is in recess now, but that hasn't stopped silly Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from lame attacks on Republicans and President Donald Trump. It's all they know how to do since, as former Democratic operative Dan Turrentine noted, they don't have any agenda. He posted videos doing things like swimming in a pool or lifting weights saying that he should be working and lowering costs for people. (Snip) Swalwell was roundly mocked on X. Fox's Greg Gutfeld had a little fun with him, as our sister site Twitchy reported. Gutfeld said Swalwell's videos gave "the ick." That mocking upset Swalwell, who then decided to embarrass himself more.

Man, Chuck Schumer is one gloomy guy. I honestly don’t know how the Senate minority leader (D-NY) gets out of bed in the morning when his world seems to be permanently shrouded in darkness. One can’t help but think of Eeyore, the pessimistic, monotone donkey from the children's classic, "Winnie-the-Pooh." Faced with good news, the New Yorker is able to instantly turn it into something sinister, with things lurking in the shadows. That’s exactly what he did Wednesday when speaking about the new GDP numbers, which, as our Nick Arama reported, “shattered expectations.” But that didn’t bring a smile to Chuck’s face:

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) has released graphic photos of the victim of a violent attack in Cincinnati after a local city councilwoman claimed she "begged for that beatdown." In a social media post, Moreno went on to point out that the local prosecutor let the assailants out on just $400 bond. He also hit Rep. Greg Landsman, a House Democrat who represents the area, for "posting about Ukraine" while remaining silent on the incident. The victim, who is being referred to only by her first name at this time, was downtown during the annual Jazz Festival to attend a birthday party.

The inability to get Trump, for lack of a better term, reared its head again, as the legacy media and the panicans were left shattered and bloody over the latest economic report. They were lusting for a recession. They were hoping the tariffs would increase prices—neither of those things happened. Instead, what we got was a robust report of three percent economic growth in the second quarter. The experts were wrong again. (Snip) The New York Times should take a bow for the most Soviet-style headline about the news: “U.S. Economy Slowed in First Half of 2025 as Tariffs Scrambled Data.”

So, who’s going to jail? Who’s being questioned? FBI Director Kash Patel revealed today that mountains of Russian collusion documents were found in burn bags. Thousands of documents were discovered, including the annex to the Durham report, which was an investigation initiated by former Attorney General William Barr regarding the origins of the Russian collusion hoax. That document alone is the subject of a declassification process between the CIA and the FBI. And there’s a reason why whoever set this burn bag protocol in motion would want these files destroyed: Sources told Fox News that the material involved had evidence from foreign intelligence sources

Nothing brings out political hypocrisy more than a good old-fashioned gerrymander brawl. Both sides do it. Both sides pretend that it's absolutely the worst thing in the history of the world — until they want to do the same thing. Now, there's a Texas-sized hullabaloo brewing in the Lone Star State that promises to not only be gigantically impactful politically, but entertaining as hell. Last month, Donald Trump suggested that it would be really nice if Texas redrew its congressional districts to give the Republicans in Washington a better shot at holding the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. Texas Governor Greg Abbott politely obliged

Those detained include aliens from 17 different countries, and some have significant criminal records.

As the Democrats continue to attempt to use every trick in the book to block confirmation of Trump’s judicial nominees, the president came after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Tuesday, urging him to stop honoring a tradition whereby a single senator can nuke an appointment just because he or she feels like it. It’s called the “blue slip” tradition, and it works like this: The Senate’s blue slip policy allows home-state senators to signal their approval or disapproval of a judicial nominee appointed to a seat in their state by filling out and returning a blue slip of paper to the SJC [Senate Judiciary Committee].

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is criticizing the trade deal struck by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an act of “submission” by the European Union (EU). “It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission,” Bayrou said in a post on social platform X early Monday. The agreement sets tariffs at 15 percent for European imports, including automobiles. That’s lower than the 30 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose on the EU but higher than some European officials would have liked to see —

The political left will never recover from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Donald Trump could put the economy on a perpetual growth path, stop World War III, bring permanent peace to the Middle East, resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict and in his spare time cure cancer and put a man on Mars, and the Democrats and progressives would still blindly hate him. Would the Republicans and conservatives who have battered and cursed him since 2015 continue to bitterly disapprove of him, as well? Trump has had an extraordinary run so far. An AI analysis by Newsweek says the first six months of Trump’s second term “have been the most

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up. Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was seen coming out of her mouth.

The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.

CNN’s Erin Burnett is being skewered for reporting that the gunman who opened fire in a Midtown skyscraper — killing an NYPD cop and three others — was “possibly white” after viewing the initial security footage released immediately after Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage. In the photos first shared online, Tamura, 27, was captured in broad daylight walking into 345 Park Ave. with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle in his hand. Burnett said police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday evening.

The guidelines, outlined in a memo from the Office of Personnel Management, allow public employees to pray and discuss religion, including efforts to “persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views,” but do not endorse a specific faith. Supervisors are also allowed to encourage workers to engage in expressions of faith, including prayer.

The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted. European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.
