Obama forgot no blue or red states

It worked in 2008 for a lot of reasons: Iraq war fatigue, a sloppy McCain effort, a housing crisis that conveniently happened in the last 2 months of the campaign, and a news media deeper in the tank for Obama than the Titanic on the ocean floor.

World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder warned that the attack Thursday at a synagogue and Jewish kindergarten just outside of Detroit, Michigan, was not an isolated incident but part of a broader wave of “acts of terror aimed squarely at Western and Judeo-Christian values.” If leaders don’t act quickly, democracy and society as we know it are at risk of total collapse,” Lauder warned. The renowned Jewish leader and billionaire philanthropist noted that the synagogue attack came after Islamic State-inspired suspects threw explosive devices at a protest outside the New York City mayor’s residence over the weekend.

The Florida Senate passed voter ID legislation Thursday, sending the bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk, as the SAVE America Act stalls in the U.S. Senate.
SB 1334, a bill to strengthen the verification process for voters’ citizenship status, passed the Sunshine State’s Senate 27-12, fulfilling the prediction of Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia earlier Thursday.
The bill had passed the Florida House, 83-21, in February.
These new laws will further help protect the ballot box,” Jeremy Redfern, deputy chief of staff to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, told The Daily Signal.
A MAGA Split Over Iran? What MAGA Split?

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal.
There’s a lot of talk about a Make America Great split among Trump supporters, and this originated here in context with the Iranian war. I’m speaking on a Monday, the 10th day of the war. And there’s talk in the air that the MAGA base may desert President Donald Trump because, after all, MAGA’s credo was no optional wars in the Middle East. That came out of a disgust with the 20-year misadventure in Afghanistan and the skedaddle from Kabul that left billions of dollars of weapons, and, of course,
The Trump administration swiftly removed former Miss California USA winner Carrie Prejean Boller from the White House Religious Liberty Commission after officials accused her of attempting to “hijack” a hearing on antisemitism to advance a personal political agenda.
The dramatic fallout has quickly turned into a public feud, with Prejean Boller launching a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and members of the commission after her removal.
According to Fox News, the decision to remove Prejean Boller was praised by multiple religious leaders and conservatives who argued that the commission’s purpose is to defend religious liberty, not serve as a platform for controversial personal activism.
France tried to bypass the war against Iran, but the conflict found it.
Today, a drone swarm attack by Iranian forces against the Iraqi region of Erbil has targeted not only US troops and military assets, but also British, Italian, and French troops and/or bases.
When it comes to the French grouping, the attack left a deadly mark, with a soldier killed in that attack against the Iraqi Kurdistan base. An attack killed a French soldier in Erbil in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday. A member of the armed forces ‘died for France during an attack in the Erbil region of Iraq’, Macron posted on X, —
An investigation by CBS News has discovered massive Medicare fraud at more than 700 out of 1,800 licensed hospice providers in Los Angeles County.
The scam utilizes stolen Medicare numbers to fraudulently enroll healthy seniors in hospice with fake terminal diagnoses, billing Medicare an average of $29,000 per patient without delivering care, to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. About 31 percent of hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A. County but when investigators visited the addresses listed, they found no clinics, patients or healthcare workers.
Instead they found multiple red flags, including multiple hospices in one building,
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) announced Thursday that he will bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week, where it will likely fail to meet the 60-vote threshold to pass.
“It is a package of common sense policies, the kind of common sense policies that should get an automatic yes vote from literally every member of this body,” Thune stated on the Senate floor.
The bill requires proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot. Polls show the American people overwhelmingly support nationwide voter ID and proof of citizenship whether black, white,

My Medical Licence After Blowing the Whistle
on Covid Vaccines 3 replies
Dr Aseem Malhotra is fighting for his medical licence after blowing the whistle on the Covid vaccines as he stands accused of undermining trust in the medical profession by questioning vaccination. He has written about his ordeal in the Telegraph. Here’s an excerpt.
In early 2021, I had no significant safety concerns about the Covid vaccines. I received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine. I appeared on Good Morning Britain, encouraging uptake in high-risk communities. At that stage, based on the published trial data, I believed the benefits outweighed the risks.
Six months later, my father suddenly died, aged 73.
The fact that Team Russia and Team USA would be discussing a strategic economic alliance on the issue of energy is not a surprise to those who watched both President Putin and President Trump outline that same content discussion in Alaska last August. However, given the current conflict with Iran and the escalating oil price issue, Russia and the USA discussing Russian oil capacity and U.S. sanctions therein takes on a new angle.
It has been obvious that domestic U.S. politics, in combination with the Russia-Ukraine war, has impeded President Trump from organizing a strategic reset with Russia pulling away from historic conflicts.
Rahm Emanuel has no shortage of action plans for Democrats, whom he thinks are poised for success in the fall midterms if they get their message right.
The former Obama chief of staff was an instrumental player in 2006, when Democrats flipped control of the House and Senate after 12 years of Republican control — during a different war started by a GOP president Twenty years later, Emanuel — now an unofficial White House hopeful himself — says there are lessons to be learned from that time. And he’s conferring with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on how to put those lessons in play.
Iran-linked hacker group claims responsibility

An Iran-linked hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on U.S. medical tech company Stryker.
The company produces a range of medical equipment and technology, and is headquartered in Michigan, NBC News reported.
“Stryker is experiencing a global network disruption to our Microsoft environment as a result of a cyber attack. We have no indication of ransomware or malware and believe the incident is contained,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
The cyberattack appears to be the first significant instance of Iran hacking a U.S. company since the war between the countries started last month.

Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said War Secretary Pete Hegseth should resign over a deadly strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran.
Host Wolf Blitzer said, “I want to also turn while I have you, Senator, to that devastating bombing of a girls school in southern Iran. According to an ongoing military investigation, the U.S. was responsible and outdated information could be to blame. You’re a member of the Intelligence Committee. You’re briefed on all of this. What information are you receiving about this?”
Gillibrand said, “Well, I have very deep concerns about how this site was targeted. Obviously it was next to naval operations
Iran could use drones to make a deadly strike on California at any time, a top US Army expert says — and we’re nowhere near ready for what could happen.
Iranian forces have the technology, the ability and the motivation to launch withering drone attacks on targets in California, according to Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier who spent years using drones to hunt and kill the leaders of ISIS and other terrorist groups.
Velicovich said America’s enemy is almost certainly trying to launch an attack on Californian shores with the use of drones. The FBI’s warning to local law enforcement,
Former first lady Jill Biden announced she will publish a memoir this summer about her time in the White House, including reflections on the end of her husband Joe Biden’s presidency and his decision not to seek re-election.
In a video posted to Instagram, Biden stated:
I entered the role of first lady in a unique time in our nation’s history, in the midst of a pandemic and the shadow of an insurrection. Those days tested all of us—our resilience, our compassion, and our belief in one another—but we persevered. Serving in the historic East Wing was the honor of my life.
Japanese automaker Honda just cancelled the production of three planned made-in-the-U.S.A. electric cars, including the 0-Series SUV, the 0-Series Saloon, and the Acura RSX — and the company says it will write off massive losses as a result.
Still, better than building EVs nobody wants to buy. The company said the EVs had to go to avoid future losses, complaining about the “current business environment where the demand for EVs is declining significantly.”
I follow these things, and I'd somehow never even heard of Honda's 0-Series vehicles — assuredly for "zero emissions" — introduced at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and were
The first six days of war in Iran cost U.S. taxpayers at least $11.3 billion in munitions alone, according to Pentagon estimates reviewed by lawmakers, and experts say the final cost will only increase. That total does not include the cost of operating and maintaining the military force engaged in the war or battle damage sustained from Iran’s attacks.
The military used about $5.6 billion in munitions in the first two days of the conflict, according to a person with knowledge of the estimate. The munitions cost was first reported by The Washington Post.
The money spent on munitions, and the added expense of any damage done to U.S. military infrastructure
For years, the British £5 note has carried the face of Winston Churchill. The wartime prime minister who rallied Britain during its darkest hour has stared out from wallets and cash registers across the country, a constant reminder of the man who helped lead Britain through World War II.
Now the Bank of England is considering scrapping that tradition.
And what might replace one of Britain’s most consequential leaders says quite a lot about where parts of the country’s cultural establishment think Britain should be headed.
Animals. Plants. Landscapes.
Not the people who shaped the nation’s history. Wildlife.
The idea surfaced after the Bank of England asked the public what themes they
A routine family outing at Grain & Berry café in Orlando escalated into an ugly incident after a customer and her children, along with her veteran mother, asked whether the café offered a military discount.
The employee at the counter erupted into an angry tirade, screaming profanities at the family for the simple inquiry.
She told the family she “didn’t give a sh**” about military service and insisted no such discount existed at the company. While processing the family’s refund, she continued to shout profanities and threaten them.
She repeatedly told the family to “get the f*** out” and made threats of physical violence,

A pack of wild teenagers went on a rampage at a Bronx supermarket — accosting customers, punching a security guard and even ripping the hair out of a female employee’s head when she tried to stop them, The Post has learned. The uncontrollable kids went on the terrifying spree of violence at the Allerton Key Food at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday — and are still at large after a melee that sent customers scrambling for safety. “This is a supermarket. You come here to shop and you leave. I’m not supposed to have a customer covering her baby’s eyes,” Miguel Garcia, the store’s owner, told The Post.
“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.”
Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.
For two years after the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, keffiyeh-clad Muslim students did their best Hitler Youth impressions on American university campuses, clamoring to eliminate the State of Israel and “globalize the intifada”
‘Experts’ Know Less than They Think

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth.
“Experts” do not like to be challenged. They say things such as, “I have a PhD in this,”
We’ve seen plenty of political battles before, but this one is getting downright dangerous for the American people.
Despite numerous terror attacks and absolute chaos at the airports as TSA agents quit in droves because they’re not getting paid, the Democrats once again voted Thursday to keep the partial government shutdown going and refused to restore funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
It's the fourth time since early February that extremist Democrats have voted to block DHS funding.
House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and his minions are literally putting American lives in peril as they continue to throw temper tantrums over not getting their way regarding their preposterous demands
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) web of shady family ties goes even deeper than her alleged marriage to her brother — reportedly using her political offices to secure millions of dollars for a Minneapolis health clinic operated by her sister, who is married to a top Somali government official.
Omar’s elder sister, Sahra Noor, states on her LinkedIn profile that she was the CEO of People’s Center Clinics & Services from July 2014 to April 2018. In January 2017, Omar began her two-year term as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
People’s Center is in the Minneapolis neighborhood of Cedar-Riverside, nicknamed “Little Mogadishu” for its high Somali
