Dershowitz: Democrats Just Converted Me
Through Their Anti-Israel Hate

Alan Dershowitz ... Republican? Yes. Not independent. Not disaffected. The famed appellate attorney and Harvard con-law professor has not just renounced his lifelong political affiliation, but Dersh has signed up for the other team. What happened? It starts with Democrats' sharp turn toward anti-Semitism with Israel as its political golem, but as Dershowitz argues, that serves more as a harbinger for a broader radicalization within the party. The catalyst came last week when most of the Senate Democrat caucus voted to withhold funds for Israel's defensive systems, where the scales fell from his eyes on the power of anti-Semites within the Democrat Party:

Welcome aboard, Professor. The "big tent" is now with the Republican party, warts and all. But I often remember the words of that great Jewish comedian and son of a Sheboygan, Wis. Rabbi, Jackie Mason, who said that Jews live like rich, white Republicans but vote like poor, Black Democrats.

Gee - - it only took my fellow native Brooklynite about seven decades to realize that he's been a chump. But good for you, Dershie. Come-on-a my house - - and I'll make you an egg cream.

Thanks to #1 for bringing back memories of seeing Jackie live in concert in his later years. The man was genius both comedically and in common sense. He saw right through everything to core truths, and did so while making you cry from laughing so hard. One of a kind. R.I.P.

Looks like cheat's back on the menu, boys! After dragging out the will they/won't they game for a couple of days, the Iranians finally agreed to return to Islamabad for another round of peace talks. Or at least that's what Pakistan claims, the Associated Press reported less than an hour ago. Once again, the same negotiators will meet at the same table to discuss the same issues, and ... do something different this time? We'll see – maybe: Neither the U.S. nor Iran have publicly confirmed the timing of talks. Iranian state television has denied any official is already in Pakistan’s capital.

There are plenty of Democrats who are not antisemites, just as many or most Democrats are not advocates of abortion until birth, alphabet ideology, or open borders. But it is becoming impossible to run and win as a Democrat on a statewide or national stage without being actively antisemitic, and being friendly to Israel is absolutely, positively, without any doubt a position that will kill you in a Democratic primary—and make no mistake, in almost any district in America, Democrats will primary you unless you express deep skepticism or even hostility to Israel.

In recent months, we've seen just a few too many people who came to the United States, legally or illegally, who have established themselves and then proceeded to go on rants about how evil and horrible America is. Some of them are even in Congress. Plenty of people are tired of this; why, one might ask, did they come here if America is all that bad? Republican Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) has an answer in the Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act, which delightfully becomes an acronym as the MAMDANI Act.

Tuesday morning, President Trump did a brief telephone interview with Joe Kernen of CNBC's Squawk Box. The subject was Trump's prognosis for how the negotiations would proceed. President Trump doesn't seem to have high hopes. He points out that even though the Iranian leadership has stated it would not attend the new round of negotiations in Islamabad, it is participating, so long as the U.S. continues to blockade Iranian ports. Trump did not back off (see VIDEO: USS Spruance Lights Up Iranian Blockade Runner in a Formidable Demonstration of FAFO – RedState) and yet here we are.

The U.S. government has been losing up to half a trillion taxpayer dollars just to fraud for the past five years, according to a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. America’s national debt as of Saturday morning is $39.13 trillion and climbing every second. Democrats have spent decades deliberately encouraging as much reckless spending and fraud as possible, but even most Republicans are content to overlook a vast amount of fraud and overspending if they secure the pet projects they want. Robert Westbrooks, former federal inspector general, gave April 15 testimony to the House Oversight Committee, exposing the gargantuan financial crisis.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is not expected to step down this term and has already hired all four law clerks for the upcoming annual term despite speculation the high court justice was weighing retirement, multiple sources said. Alito "is not stepping down this term and is in the process of hiring the rest of his clerks for the next term," a source told Fox News Digital. Two other sources told Fox News that Alito is not retiring this term, which lasts until the Supreme Court's new year kicks off in October. Justices tend to hire their clerks two to three years in advance, although

The Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed on Friday that the Strait would be open, albeit using the Iranian-approved route. But he immediately got in trouble for what he said, because he didn't address the U.S. blockade in his tweet. As President Donald Trump said, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ships continued. The attacks showed the chaos their leadership is in. The other main negotiator, Mohammad Ghalibaf, after likely seeing what happened with Araghchi, reneged on the deal and said it would remain closed until the blockade stopped. So then they decided to punctuate their tirade by firing on ships on Saturday.

The Supreme Court handed environmental plaintiffs a unanimous defeat on Friday, ruling that Chevron USA can fight its Louisiana coastal damage lawsuit in federal court rather than the sympathetic state-court venue that produced a nearly three-quarter-billion-dollar verdict against the company. The 8-0 decision in Chevron USA Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish vacated a Fifth Circuit ruling and remanded the case back to the lower courts. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion, joined by six colleagues; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson concurred in the judgment separately. Justice Samuel Alito took no part in the case, having recused himself due to his financial interest in ConocoPhillips, the parent of Burlington Resources Oil and Gas Co.,

CAIRO — The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz quickly escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade choking off Iranian ports. Confusion over the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict. The ceasefire between them is due to run out by mid-next week, and Pakistani mediators were working to put together a new round of direct negotiations to keep the truce going.

Although the US.–Iran ceasefire is in effect for the moment (depending on who you ask), President Donald Trump signaled that things could change very quickly if the Islamic Republic doesn’t agree to terms — by Wednesday. Speaking on Air Force One, the president said the clock is ticking. In the meantime, the blockade will stay in force: President Donald Trump said late Friday he may end the ceasefire with Iran unless a long-term agreement is reached by Wednesday. "Maybe I won't extend it, but the blockade is going to remain," Trump told reporters on Air Force One. "So you have a blockade, and unfortunately we have to start dropping bombs again."

For decades now, the left in this country has preached that we should feel guilty about America’s success, we should obsess over its flaws, we should downplay our positive contributions to the world, and we should talk softly and carry no stick. Be ashamed, their message has been. And all too many Americans and virtually everyone in academia and the mainstream media bought it hook, line, and sinker, and have been selling it as hard as their little hearts can manage. And then along came Donald Trump and blew that garbage narrative to smithereens.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is distinguishing herself on the U.S. Supreme Court — and not in a positive way. It’s as though she’s positioned on an island defined by woke ideology, racial justice, and equity, while the other eight justices remain on the mainland of restraint. For proper context, it’s important to know about a case that was in front of her and the other members of the court. The case centered on an early morning police stop in Washington, D.C., where a Metropolitan Police officer responded to a call about what was described as a suspicious vehicle. At around 2 a.m., the officer approached the car, and immediately

By almost any analysis, Christianity is the superior religion. Of all, Christianity reigns supreme. Christianity has positively transformed the entire world. Even now, ill-informed leftists don’t realize most of their thoughts on the dignity of the human and individual freedom -- and hundreds more -- are due to Christianity. Thomas Jefferson noted, “Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christians.” And if one is going to become a Christian it would seem that His Church, the Catholic Church, should be the choice. The other denominations were

Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) campaigned Saturday alongside Graham Platner, the left-wing candidate in the Maine Democratic Senate primary who has praised Hamas and until recently sported a tattoo of a Nazi symbol. Warren said Platner "has the values" to serve in the upper chamber and would bring "accountability" to Washington, D.C. Platner "is a man who not only has the values, but a man who believes in accountability, and we need a little accountability coming out of Washington right now," Warren told attendees at a packed Holiday Inn ballroom. "Billionaires don't want to pay taxes, and nobody in Washington will get in that fight. Well, Graham Platner's gonna."

The newest Gaza freedom flotilla has come under the spotlight – not because of its stated aim of “breaking the Israeli siege on Gaza” – but because a senior member was accused of sexual misconduct. The scandal began shortly after the flotilla set sail from Barcelona on April 12, when the Palestinian group Heart of Falastin claimed that “a senior member of the flotilla, a member of the steering committee, the highest governing body of the organization, code named B.L. for their protection (not ours), engaged in sexual relations with multiple activists while on the boat heading toward Gaza. Not one person. Not two. Three different individuals.” Heart of Falastin then said,

The Montana Supreme Court struck a blow to biological reality by allowing Montanans who claim to be transgender amend birth certificates and change driver’s licenses to match their self-proclaimed “gender identity.” The state’s high court ruled 5-2 on Tuesday to uphold a lower court’s preliminary injunction of a 2022 policy that mandates Montanans have birth certificates and IDs that match their biological sex. The court ruled that the policy likely goes against the state constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” the court claimed in its opinion, ultimately rejecting biological reality.

Each month, the I&I/TIPP Poll reports on President Donald Trump’s favorability and approval among voters. But what about Vice President J.D. Vance? I&I/TIPP has numbers for him too, and they make for interesting insights into Vance’s approval by the voting public and his potential as a presidential candidate in 2028. The numbers, as we noted above, come from monthly national online opinion soundings of approximately 1,400 adults, spread across all regions and 36 demographic groups. With over 15 months of data, starting in February of 2025, some clear trends emerge. Overall, it’s a good news, bad news scenario

A great deal of national news coverage concerning Virginia has focused on the attempt by its new Democratic governor, Abigail Spanberger, and her confederates in the General Assembly to circumvent the commonwealth’s constitution in order to radically gerrymander the state’s congressional district map. This maneuver has, however, overshadowed another of their equally dubious legislative actions. A bill proposing that Virginia join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) passed both houses of the General Assembly in February, and Gov. Spanberger signed it into law on April 13.
