Since October 7, we have been lectured nonstop about the supposedly singular sins of Israel. The campuses, the left-wing media, and the new Democratic Socialist officials, both federal and state, following the cue of student activists and professors from the Middle East, have painted Israel and their Jewish supporters as Nazis, fascists, and among the worst murderers in today’s bloody world. This is nonsensical. The medieval-style massacre of 1,200 Jews in their homes on October 7, during a time of peace, should have increased awareness of the existential dangers Israel faced. Instead, it spawned a gathering storm of antisemitism.

These College campuses are filled with mush-brained activists: they are more like puppets than students. Any student who is involved in a violent protest should be ejected from campus and banned from campus for life. Students are there to learn, not to protest. I was in college during the Viet Nam protests; it was not a nice place to be, and learning was difficult in the least.

October 7 wasn't just a 'massacre'. The cruelty, sadism, perverted inhumanity at times exceeding the Nazi holocaust belies the 1200 number and gave, for those who want to see, glimpse into the minds of the enemy we face. How in heaven's name can one be so blind as the campus anti-Semites is impossible to fathom.

top Biden Justice Department official and key ally of then-Attorney General Merrick Garland raised legal “concerns” about the FBI's raid on Mar-Lago, warning that then-former President Donald Trump may have actually declassified the records seized by agents, a newly-unearthed email obtained by Just the News shows. Patty Stemler, a decades-long DOJ veteran who was reportedly picked by Garland in 2022 to help consult on Trump-related cases, sent an email just two days after the bureau’s Aug. 8, 2022 raid of Trump’s Florida resort home, where Stemler said she had “a few concerns.”

Atlanta's city government gave a Muslim activist group that raised money for Gaza a $35,000 donation on top of $250,000 in federal grants, a continuing investigation by The Center Square has found. The donation came from taxpayer funds and was among four payments made to the Chicago-based Inner-City Muslim Action Network and three other nonprofits in 2023. The City Council voted to approve, its resolution saying the money was to "support public safety patrols and other public safety initiatives" by aiding community organizations that hire off-duty police officers, organize neighborhood watches and take other steps to protect residents and businesses.

After Ukraine killed 21 students in a college dorm in Luhansk oblast, Russia retaliated yesterday (24) with a massive combined drone-missile attack on Kiev. The strikes on Ukraine’s capital were one of the heaviest in the war, and even the new hypersonic Oreshnik (‘Hazel’) missile was used.But that was not the full extent of Moscow’s retribution, as it warned of ‘systematic strikes’ on military targets in Kiev.The [Foreign] ministry made the statement on Monday, a day after a large-scale retaliatory strike on Kiev, prompted by the drone attack on the college in the Lugansk People’s Republic. The Ukrainian strike killed at least 21 people in their dormitory, mainly teenage girls.

We’ve come to a point where even the most ardent supporters of the Kiev regime are starting to wonder just how much more money they will have to sink into their unwinnable war effort. Yesterday, a report arose that Britain, France and other countries have sunk the chances for a proposal that would have NATO allies spend 0.25 percent of GDP on military aid for Ukraine. The Telegraph reported: “Mark Rutte, the alliance’s secretary-general, this week conceded his plan wouldn’t be taken forward because it didn’t have sufficient support. ‘I don’t think this one will be proposed’, he told reporters, without naming the opponents.

Microsoft is one of the largest tech providers for the American government. That’s in spite of the company’s cozy ties with China and its products’ numerous security risks. It’s also a company with a noted left-wing bias, which puts it at odds with the Trump administration. The tech giant’s current relationship with the government doesn’t put the nation first, but that may soon change. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) has called on the Department of Justice to review Microsoft’s many problems and reassess the government’s relationship with the company.

Crude oil prices dropped sharply Sunday evening as global markets responded to early signs of a possible agreement to ease tensions between the United States and Iran and reopen critical shipping lanes in the Middle East. Brent crude futures, the international benchmark, fell roughly $5 per barrel and slipped back below the $100 mark, trading near $98.76 Sunday night. That represented a decline of about 4.6% from Friday’s close. The selloff marked the first major market reaction since tentative outlines of a potential agreement between Washington and Tehran began to emerge.

The White House vowed “no dust, no dollars” for Iran on Sunday — asserting that unless the Islamic Republic gives up its enriched uranium, it will get no sanctions relief — as President Trump tapped the brakes on forecasting a peace deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump revealed Saturday that the US and Iran were close on a memorandum of understanding that would get oil flowing again while allowing 30 days for nuclear negotiations. The plan unleashed panic among some Republicans and Israel backers — prompting Trump officials to clarify that no deal was imminent,

But it was Jason Reding Quinones’ indictment against one of his own former federal prosecutors for trying to steal a sealed, classified report from Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump that may have sent the loudest shockwaves through government.

Democrats weighing 2028 presidential campaigns are seeking ties with Sen. Elizabeth Warren as she works to shape the party’s next White House primary, according to Axios. Axios reported Monday that Warren, one of the most influential figures in the progressive movement, is being courted publicly and privately by Democrats eyeing 2028 presidential bids, a sign potential candidates are trying to strengthen their standing with the party’s far-left flank. Warren lost her White House bid in 2020, but Axios noted she later played a major role in shaping President Joe Biden’s administration by helping place allies in his administration. Her moves have also drawn concern from some centrist Democrats, who worry she has

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face. "I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school," Steyer told "I've Had It" podcast host Jennifer Welch. "When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, 'We’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport.' It’s like, no we’re not."

The inconvenient truth for Al Gore is that his immodestly prophetic book published 20 years ago proved to be false. The polar bear population has doubled. Wildfires are down in North America as well as every other continent. Hurricanes and other extreme weather events are milder and less frequent, and fatalities due to it are far fewer. The snows of Kilimanjaro are still there. Manhattan is not under water. In fact, the seas have barely risen.

A few weeks ago, I was walking through the halls of Congress and passed Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s office which was decorated with the usual terror flag. Right now people are talking about another congressional candidate who makes a point of rejecting the pledge of allegiance. Mai Vang is a Sacramento City Councilwoman, and a California congressional candidate for California’s 7th Congressional District. Mai Vang also refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and turns her back on the U.S. flag during public meetings. The Sacramento City Councilwoman has openly boasted about the practice of turning her back on the flag at ceremonies, drawing sharp criticism as she campaigns for higher office.

Once again, the U.S. Senate is on vacation. This group barely works, and when they are in session, they accomplish practically nothing. Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, Congress has passed only one major piece of legislation. While the “One Big Beautiful Bill” was a notable accomplishment, it should not have been the only legislative victory for the Republican Congress. During the same period of President Joe Biden’s administration, a Democratic-led Congress passed four major pieces of legislation: the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Of course, these bills harmed our economy, propelled wasteful spending, and funded ludicrous
Iran's supreme leader is holed up in undisclosed

U.S. intelligence shows that Iran's supreme leader is effectively holed up in an undisclosed location with little access to the outside world and is only reached by a labyrinth of couriers, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. The Iranian officials authorized to work with the Trump administration have been having a difficult time communicating inside of their own government system — and it's a central reason why the details of a potential deal with Iran and past agreements have been slow to emerge. When the U.S. sends proposed details, the difficulty in reaching the supreme leader means there can be a long delay

Canada's prairie provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, are in some ways more like the western United States than the rest of Canada. They are more independent, more reliant on agriculture and the energy sector, with lower populations, and with a population more inclined to conservative viewpoints. For some time now, the energy-rich province of Alberta has been making noises about seceding from Canada. Now, it looks like that may come to a vote. The Telegraph's Michael Taube has some thoughts on that.

Memorial Day exists for one reason: to honor the men and women who died in service to this country. It is a solemn, sacred day, the one day a year we set aside not to celebrate veterans broadly, but to mourn and remember those who gave everything. Apparently, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had other plans. On Monday, Frey took to X and posted a lengthy, heartfelt tribute — not to a fallen soldier, but to George Floyd, since May 25 is also the sixth anniversary of when Floyd died. Patriotic Americans were visiting cemeteries, laying wreaths, and reflecting on the price of freedom.
