Reader’s Links for October 26th, 2023

Posted on by

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression.

    Find Rand was on Phil Donahue and spoke her mind eloquently on Israel, the objectivists have thought this through

    Reading about Johnson getting the house speaker position was rewarding, he has a interesting past and connection to the heritage foundation which is pushing project 2025. As someone who’s an independent thinker/conservative government believer / constitutionalist I think I’m seeing a subversive right wing controversy that somehow I was not aware of until a leftist post on Reddit discussed what a lunatic Johnson was with his Christian background, reading further I found the wiki link and have not gone further,

    I get my local news from alpha here in Minnesota, they have a Catholic agenda , my comment asking about project 2025 and the heritage foundation disappeared from their disqus feed discussing Johnson’s history..
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

    I recall reading on a leftist website that all of the recent supreme Court justices have been supported/pushed by the heritage foundation and the leftist see them as a nefarious thing…
    I’ve read their stuff and never got a sense of unbalanced unhinged anti-American change the government to become a Christian theology thing, but who knows what becomes topical behind closed doors and who reads the bylines for an organization that you find appealing…

    That whole thing seems sketchy with all of the Republicans suddenly uniting under johnson, why didn’t this occur weeks ago and why was Jim Jordan scorned?

    • You last paragraph, I was thinking the same thing, why are rinos voting enthusiastically for this guy? The previous possibility, Emmer(?) was at one time anti sore-azz but now has become part of his group. What is happening behind the curtain?

      • Cassandra so many questions to be answered I had thought of the heritage foundation as a conservative organization and probably still do, a couple of years ago when I was reading leftist stuff on Reddit they talked about it being a Catholic conspiracy to get the supreme Court stacked and pointed to the last few supreme Court nominees that got in… I didn’t look further but mentally took a note, the project 2025 is them doing a usurpation overthrow of the principles of government that we have if I understand it correctly that’s what I saw on Wikipedia which was I think in the link…
        Didn’t go further than post the query here and a couple other places
        thanks

  2. This long interview is full of wisdom. Economics, science, common sense. Collum is a chemistry prof., I believe. Did you know, for example, that the greatest period of secondary invention (after the invention of electricity) was during the Great Depression? Did you know the greatest period of economic prosperity and expansion was before 1913, when the U.S. Fed was created, and when the U.S. was on a gold standard?

    Here this morning the Radioman had a story about vandalism on stores along Ottawa’s Sparks Street mall. This is a promenade right in front of Parliament. Windows were smashed and things stolen. High-end stuff.

    The U.S. is not alone in the general breakdown of civil society under its Comintern regime. Intentionally, or not, this deterioration continues apace. The big difference is that Dystopians are forbidden to defend themselves with firearms.

  6. Trump Cleared of Any Wrongdoing After Four-Year Investigation
    By Warner Todd Huston, The Western Journal Oct. 26, 2023 8:00 am103 Comments

    Former President Donald Trump has been cleared of at least one of the many nuisance charges Democrats have thrown at him since he left office in 2020.

    After a lengthy, four-year review, a Department of Justice watchdog has officially found that Trump did not improperly influence the FBI’s decision to keep its headquarters in Washington, D.C., instead of moving it to Virginia or Maryland, according to a DOJ report.

    Talk of moving the FBI out of the famed J. Edgar Hoover Building in downtown D.C. started 20 years ago and in 2014, the bureau began seriously considering moving to new offices.

    The initial plan was to turn the building over to a developer, which would then build a new office complex in whatever location the bureau ultimately chose for its new facility. The deal was labeled an “exchange procurement

    Electric cars are currently being propped up with government incentives and subsidies due to the Democrats’ mad dash towards a green future.

    A new report reveals that if you take away those government programs, these cars are far more expensive than people realize.

    This is, of course, all part of their plan. They want to make it too expensive for most people to even own a car in the future. Cars are for elites. It’s public transportation for the rest of us

    Siemens Energy shares in Germany crashed on Thursday after the company warned its wind turbine business is grappling with quality issues and offshore ramp-up challenges. The company said it’s evaluating various measures to strengthen its balance sheet and is discussing state guarantees with the German government. This comes as a financial crisis in offshore wind energy is brewing.

    Siemens Energy said the wind business Siemens Gamesa “is working through the quality issues and is addressing the offshore ramp up challenges as announced in the third quarter communication for fiscal year 2023

  11. Premodern Diversity Vs. Civilizational Unity
    Old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it

    By Victor Davis Hanson

    October 26, 2023
    Few Romans in the late decades of their 5th-century AD empire celebrated their newfound “diversity” of marauding Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals.

    These tribes en masse had crossed the unsecured Rhine and Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty without a care about what had created it.

    Their agendas were focused on destroying the civilization they overran rather than peacefully integrating into and perpetuating the Empire.

    Ironically, Rome’s prior greatness had been due to the extension of citizenship to diverse people throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia.

    Millions had been assimilated, integrated, and intermarried and often superseded the original Italians of the early Roman Republic. Such fractious diversity had led to unity around the idea of Rome.

    New citizens learned to enjoy the advantages of habeas corpus, sophisticated roads, aqueducts, and public architecture, and the security offered by the legions.

    The unity of these diverse peoples fused into a single culture that empowered Rome. In contrast, the later disunity of hundreds of thousands of tribal people flooding into and dividing Rome doomed it.

    To meet the challenge of a multiracial society, the only viable pathway to a stable civilization of racially and ethnically different people is a single, shared culture.

    Some nations can find collective success as a single homogenous people like Japan or Switzerland.

    Or equally, but with more difficulty, nations can prosper with heterodox peoples—but only if united by a single, inclusive culture as the American melting-pot once attested.

    But a baleful third option—a multicultural society of diverse, unassimilated, and often rival tribes—historically is a prescription for collective suicide.

    We are beginning to see just that in America, as it sheds the melting pot, and adopts the salad bowl of unassimilated and warring tribes.

    The U.S. is now seeing a rise in violent racially and religiously motivated hate crimes.

    The border is nonexistent.

    Millions of unlawful immigrants mock their hosts by their brazen illegal entrance.

    They will receive little civic education to become Americans. But they will learn that unassimilated tribalism wins them influence and advantages.

    In contrast, America was once a rare historical example of a multiracial, but single-culture democracy that actually worked.

    Multigenerational Americans were often energized by keeping up with new hard-working immigrants determined to have a shot at success in a free society long denied them at home.

    Other large nations have tried such a democratic multiracial experiment—most notably Brazil and India. But both are still plagued by tribal feuding and serial violence.

    What once worked for America, but now is forgotten were a few precepts essential for a multiracial constitutional state wedded to generous immigration.

    One, America is enriched at its cultural periphery by the food, fashion, art, music, and literature of immigrants.

    But it would be destroyed if such diversity extended to its core. No one wants Middle-East norms regarding gays or emancipated women.

    No one prefers Mexican jurisprudence to our courts.

    No one here wants the dictatorship of Venezuela or the totalitarianism of communist China.

    Two, people vote with their feet to emigrate to America. They flee their native culture and government to enjoy their antitheses in America.

    But remember—no sane immigrant would flee Mexico, Gaza, or Zimbabwe only to wish to implant in their new homes the very culture and norms that drove them out from their old.

    If they did that to their new home, it would then become as unattractive to them as what they fled.

    Three, tribalism wrecks nations.

    Just compare what happened in Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, or Iraq.

    Anytime one ethnic, racial, or religious group refuses to surrender its prime identity in exchange for a shared sense of self, other tribes for their own survival will do the same.

    All then rebrand their superficial appearance as essential not incidental to whom they are.

    And like nuclear proliferation that sees other nations go nuclear once a neighboring power gains the bomb, so too the tribalism of one group inevitably leads only to more tribalism of others. The result is endless Hobbesian strife.

    Four, immigration must be measured, so that newcomers can be manageably assimilated and integrated rather than left to form rival tribal cliques.

    Five, it must be legal. Otherwise, the idea of citizenship is reduced to mere residency, while the legal applicant is rendered a fool for his adherence to the law.

    Six, it must be meritocratic, so immigrants come with English and skills and do not burden their hosts.

    And last, it must be diverse. Only that way, can all groups abroad have equal access to the American dream.

    A diversity of immigrants also ensures that no one particular ethnic or political tribe seeks to use immigration to further divide the nation.

    In sum, the old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it.

    Arkancide is the unfortunate habit of potential witnesses to the Clintons’ dirty dealings in Arkansas suddenly deciding to shoot themselves twice in the back of the head. Police and Coroners in Arkansas, notably Fahmy Malak who answered to Governor Bill Clinton, automatically described these shootings as “suicides.”

    After Bill Clinton became President the phenomenon spilled over to Washington D.C. when Hillary Clinton’s ex-lover Vincent Foster was “Arkancided.”

    By now, everyone should have noticed how ubiquitous the word “diversity” is, often alongside partner terms such as “equity“ and “inclusion,“ making the acronym “DEI.”

    Though “diversity” sounds benign and technically only means varied, different or differentiated, its modern usage appears to mean more. How much more may be the difference between something benign and something malignant.

  14. Florida Takes Battle to Ban Minors From Drag Shows to the Supreme Court
    By Cassandra MacDonald Oct. 26, 2023 9:15 am118 Comments

    Florida has taken its battle to ban minors from drag shows to the Supreme Court.
    The state’s Protection of Children Act will fine or revoke the licenses of venues that “knowingly” admit children to “adult live performances.”

    The law defines “adult live performances” as “any show, exhibition, or other presentation in front of a live audience which, in whole or in part, depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities … lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts.”

    The law was blocked by a federal judge who issued a preliminary injunction against it in June, claiming that it violates the First Amendment, after a lawsuit was filed by an Orlando restaurant called Hamburger Mary’s.

    The restaurant holds drag brunches and claims that the law is hurting their business

  15. Man Arrested for Breaking Arms Off Jesus Statue and Swinging From Crucifix Outside Boston Church (VIDEO)
    By Cassandra MacDonald Oct. 26, 2023 9:00 am110 Comments

    A Massachusetts man with a lengthy criminal record has been arrested for ripping the arms off a 150-year-old Jesus statue and swinging from the crucifix outside a historic Boston church.
    Michael Patzelt, 37, of Attleboro, was arraigned on Wednesday for the shocking act of vandalism at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the South End.

    The vandalism is said to have caused $20,000 worth of damage.

    “Boston police received a radio call for a person who was hanging on the cross at 1400 Washington Street,” a prosecutor told the court during the arraignment, according to a report from the Daily Mail. “He caused significant damage to the cross.”

  16. Hamas terrorists used ‘hardwired phones’ to evade Israeli intelligence
    Ben Farmer

    American intelligence officials have explained to their European counterparts why they failed to anticipate Hamas’s assault on Israeli villages, which was reportedly planned on telephone lines in hidden tunnels.

    The Oct 7 attacks were prepared entirely inside Hamas’s close-knit military wing, meaning they were not detected by Israel’s informants inside the group’s political ranks, Europe’s spy agencies were told.

    Those behind the plot also avoided digital channels that could be cracked by US and Israeli spies, relying instead on face-to-face meetings and phone lines installed inside the system of tunnels beneath Gaza, sometimes known as the “Gaza Metro”.

    Israel’s failure to uncover Hamas’s plans and thwart the attacks, despite having some of the most renowned intelligence capabilities in the world, has alarmed its regional and European allies.

    Officials said intelligence gathering had relied too heavily on high-tech eavesdropping and suffered a lack of informants, leaving both Israel and its US

    “If you have the word ‘refinery’ anywhere in your title, you’re not going to get finance,” Alwyn Bowden, chief executive officer of Malaysia’s Pengerang Energy Complex, said at an industry conference, as quoted by Bloomberg.

  20. Oklahoma Teen Sentenced to 50 Years in Prison for Shooting Five Year Old Girl as Part of Gang Initiation
    By Cassandra MacDonald Oct. 26, 2023 10:00 am0 Comments

    A baby-faced Oklahoma teenager has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for shooting a five-year-old girl as part of a gang initiation.
    Noah Ney, 16, shot the child when he was 15 and attempted to join the Hoover Crips gang but was sentenced as an adult.

    The little girl was playing in her home when Ney drove by in a stolen car and shot at the house. She was hit in the neck and shoulder.

    If the shot had been just an inch or two away from where she was struck, it is unlikely that she would have survived.

    “There were multiple people in the line of fire during the drive-by shooting,” Assistant Tulsa County District Attorney Morgan Medders told Tulsa District Court, according to a report from the Daily Mail. “The five-year-old was transported to hospital by EMSA because of the severity of her injuries and a difference of an inch or two in the penetrating gunshot wounds to the child could have resulted in her death.”

  21. Democrats Are Showing You Who They Are
    Believe them.
    October 26, 2023 by Derek Hunter 6 Comments

    I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t 1938; then, I had to check the books I owned to make sure they weren’t actually written in German. Once I confirmed it is 2023 and I live in the United States of America, I was left only to shake my head in disgust at what Democrats have exposed themselves to be.

    Make no mistake, I never really thought they were great people. The party of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation isn’t suddenly going to pull a 180 and not be monsters; it’s who they are. They’ve never changed their objectives, only their tactics. Now, their embrace of segregation is done in the name of tolerance, of providing a “safe space” to minorities. But make no mistake, the end result is the same.

    That’s the thing about the left – they’ll happily tell you who they are and the horrible things they hold dear; all you have to do is believe them.

    The terrorist attack in Israel two weeks ago brought out the worst in the left, but it’s also their true self. You can’t cheer for the wholesale murder of innocent people and “really be a good person, deep down.” No, that’s not how it works. It’s the opposite – they are raging bigots and monsters who manage to tamp it down below the surface most of the time until there’s something to protest or celebrate. It’s really that simple.

    I’m not Jewish, and I’m disgusted. I can only imagine the sense of betrayal and horror Jews feel, as friends, neighbors, and colleagues felt so compelled to defend the murderers of Jews, for the express reason that they were Jewish, 24 hours after the attack. The Democratic Socialists of America, who count Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and pretty must every other Nazi scum “progressive” among their ranks and supporter, marched in support of Hamas in New York City, the next day, before there was anywhere near an accurate body count, let alone an understanding of the scale of the evil. They didn’t march against Israel; they marched in favor of Hamas, literally celebrating the paragliders in the posters promoting it.

    That’s a special kind of evil.

    In the face of that, how can any normal person care what they have to say or do anything but recoil in disgust at what they’re advocating? They can’t.

    The examples of the aforementioned Members of Congress spewing their anti-Semitism or lying about 500 dead in the most densely populated hospital on the planet, when there was really just a small parking lot fire caused by “friendly” terrorist fire, are well known. What isn’t as well known are the examples of small people in positions that wouldn’t get the attention an MSNBC host would, showing people the monsters they are.

    Twitter, or X, is like a spyglass into the soul of its users. And in support of terrorists and hatred of Jews, X is marking the spot for leftists around the world to show the world their true selves.

    A professor at UC Davis posted, “One group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda & misinformation. The houses w addresses, kids in school. They can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more,” then added a knife, an ax, and three blood emojis. This person is also a “trans woman,” which means a man in drag. If you “misgender” him, the state of California would like to put you in prison. Still, he’ll probably be appointed to a tolerance board over his tweets.

    A “doctor” in Denmark can’t stop posting about her hatred of Jews, a “libertarian” in the US pretends she’s a regular on “CSI: Gaza” for attention, college students everywhere sign letters that would be at home in Munich with the Brown Shirts, and seemingly “normal” people chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a blatant call for the genocide of Jews in Israel. And that’s without mentioning that all of these people have taken the side of Hamas, a terrorist organization with the self-professed purpose of eliminating Jews in Israel and everywhere on the planet.

    These people have shown you who they are. Believe them. Do not hire them, do not say hello to them, or engage at all.

    This isn’t about concern for the people of Gaza; Hamas wraps themselves in them and won’t let them move away from areas they operate – which you weirdly don’t hear any condemnation of from these people. Hamas won’t let civilians flee because they don’t want to lose their human shields, and have you heard anyone on the left express disgust about it?

    This isn’t about criticism of Israel – complain about them all you want, no one, and nothing is above being called out when they’re wrong on things. But to claim concern for life while expressing none for murdered Jews; to claim concern for life while not condemning the expressed murderers of innocent, unarmed civilians has no concern for life.

    Suppose you showed me how Israel randomly lobbed explosives into Gaza to kill whoever it hit near, without any concern about where that might be. In that case, I’d condemn it without hesitation. But that doesn’t happen. If it did, Hamas wouldn’t have to make up lies like the hospital bombing. What does happen is Hamas expressly trying to kill Jews because they exist. Saying they shouldn’t do that isn’t not condemning it, and using even sterner language rings hollow when you march with people cheering it, chanting “Intifada, intifada.”

    I hope people are watching. Today, the progressive leftist Democrats are marching in the goose step with Hamas, but their hearts lie with anyone who hates Americans. It’s directed at Jews at the moment, and they do hate Jews but ultimately hate America. Even, and especially, the Americans out in the streets hate America. They are the tumors of the metastasized cancer that is the political left in this country. They’re showing you who they are; believe them.

    America’s grasp of civics is embarrassing, and the country is at risk because of it.
    October 26, 2023 by Larry Sand 3 Comments

    Veteran talk show host Jay Leno has aired some classic segments in which he’d ask random people questions you would think they’d know, but these citizens are, in fact, clueless. During a typical “Jay Walking” Q&A, he’d pose questions like: “What are the three branches of government?” Or “What is the Bill of Rights?” Or “What does ‘Take the Fifth’ mean?” Amazingly, so many people are ignorant of these basic things. It’s worth noting that according to several inside sources, the ignorant people Leno chats up are very easy to find.

  23. The Case for Foreign National Deportation
    Conditional citizenship is the only way to keep our Republic safe.
    October 25, 2023 by Jason D. Hill 27 Comments

    Newsletter

    Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that he will rescind student visas of foreign nationals in the U.S. and deport them to their home countries if they expressed support for Hamas terrorists’ attack against Israel.

    In unequivocal terms, the presidential hopeful made it clear that the United States had no place for terrorist-supporting foreign nationals attending U.S. colleges and universities, as many pro-Palestinian student groups at various institutions across the nation release statements and organize demonstrations endorsing Hamas’ largest attack against Israel in decades.

    “You see students demonstrating in our country in favor of Hamas,” DeSantis said. “Remember, some of them are foreigners.”

    DeSantis told them he will be “canceling your visa, and I’m sending you home” if he wins the presidency in 2024.

    DeSantis’ statement comes against the backdrop of hundreds of pro-Hamas and Pro-Palestinian student rallies across the United States.

    After the attack against Israel by Hamas on October 7, Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups released a statement signed by about 30 student organizations that read, “We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.”

    Students for Justice in Palestine chapters and other pro-Palestinian student groups at many other universities, including George Washington University, the University of Virginia, and the University of California, Berkley, also released similar statements on the weekend of Hamas’ attack.

    Many other pro-Palestinian student groups at institutions across the U.S. still have their statements posted online and continue to participate in protests celebrating Hamas’ attack.

    This is all reminiscent of Britain in 2019. In that year Britain stripped ISIS terrorist Jack Letts (known as Jihad Jack) of his British citizenship. Letts also possessed Canadian citizenship. Since the Islamic State fell in March of 2019, Britain faced the horrific possibility of scores of ISIS terrorists returning to the UK. Letts had travelled to Syria when ISIS declared its “caliphate” in 2014; there he admitted to fighting on the frontline with SIS and offered himself as a suicide bomber. After being wounded, he grew disillusioned with ISIS.

    He had stated that he hated his family for the sake of Allah, and that he was an enemy of the West, and that he wanted to decapitate a British soldier. The British people have never forgotten the perils of returning UK citizens who are also terrorists. Salman Abebi was allowed back into the UK after living in a war zone with his family. After returning to England he detonated a suicide bomb that claimed the lives of 22 people in Manchester. The youngest victim was only 8 years old.

    Earlier in the year the UK government also stripped Shamima Begum of her citizenship after she left her home in East London in 2015 at the age of 15 and married an Islamic fighter in Syria. No one forced her to marry and leave the UK.

    In the case of Jihad Jack in England and the revocation of his citizenship, and of Shamima Begum, we should be impelled to think about the conditions and circumstances in the United States that legitimize DeSantis’ intentions. One ought to be grateful to the United States for the privilege of being a student here. By what infernal impertinence would one dare aspire to be in America and espouse support of her sworn enemies? Let us remember that the Charter/Covenant of Hamas not only calls for the elimination of Jewry from the region and the world, and the obliteration of Israel. It calls for the establishment of a Global Caliphate which would see—among other horrific occurrences—the destruction of Christianity and Judaism from the United States.

    America will produce its own homegrown terrorists. Why would we import and support foreign nationals who come with a burning hatred of this country that runs so deep they would support terrorist groups that seek the destruction of the West – Israel and the United States in particular?

    When I applied for US citizenship after years of being a legal immigrant by virtue of having a green card, I was asked a few citizenship disqualifying questions. One was whether I had ever been a member of any communist party in the United States; the other was if I had ever advocated and practiced polygamy. These questions were important ones. Polygamy challenged the fundamental tenets of the version of Judeo-Christianity on which most American religious values were based. Communism was and remains inimical to the political and economic DNA of this country. Its political antipode—capitalism—is the bedrock on which our socio-political and economic systems are derived. To promote the antithesis of such foundational systems would be to destroy the United States as we know it and as it ought to be.

    I might go further than DeSantis. I would call for the revocation of citizenship of naturalized persons who not only support Hamas, the Taliban, and communism but who, by whatever means and through whatever medium, communicate a deep hatred for the United States.

    We are in the midst of a civilizational crisis. It is time to close ranks and revert to type – that is, revert to being patriotic Americans. The right to demean and belittle the United States is not the first right granted to foreign nationals when they are graciously allowed on American soil. Given the war on the West, and the attacks on American civilization on so many fronts, I would recommend that each foreign national student be thoroughly vetted for any anti-American sentiments before entrance into our universities. They must sign a loyalty oath mandating them to defend—if called upon to do so—the reputation of the United States which has granted them refuge, an education, and a chance to make something of their lives which most of them were denied in their home countries. And let us not forget one thing: immigration is not a right; it is a privilege.

    If we made naturalized citizenship conditional by literally requiring aspiring citizens to sign a pledge of allegiance and something on the order of a non-disclosure clause which prohibits them from making, not legitimate and rational criticisms of the state but rather, hateful invectives against our republic, we might see a reduction in the proclivities for defamation and destruction among many naturalized immigrants from certain groups who use and abuse this country, who become Americans or permanent residents for reasons of political and economic expediency—such as the 9-11 terrorists.

    The time has come for great purges because in a civilizational war when the enemies announce themselves in the open and act with impunity, we must act in the spirit of self-preservation and exercise justice. Why should Americans live in fear of foreign nationals, supercilious young people, many of whom can barely write a term paper, but who want to dictate the terms of our domestic and foreign policy? By what right?

    The recommendations laid out here call for a massive re-examination of our refugee and immigration policies. We not only need skilled and growth enhancing immigrants, we need patriots—folks who love America before they even arrive on her shores. We want immigrants who are assimilable and willing to adapt themselves to American culture and values and to grow into becoming Americans. People who, in the end, will see no distinction between their moral identities and their American identities. These are the vanguards and sentinels who will help us rebuild our crumbling civilization and defeat the nihilists and value-junkies from assuming ascendancy in our country.

    If such recommendations seem harsh, look around you and consider the results. If you feel fearful of posting your value-laden views on social media for fear that you could be harmed by any sinister monster lurking in the shadows, ask yourself: Why? Why should our universities be the breeding ground for hatred, for bullying, for the celebration of the murder of innocent victims? Why should the universities and their students contribute to the radicalism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism at the expense of the American people? And why should the visitors to our country, or those on whom citizenship was bestowed as a gift, start dictating the terms of their visit, and be given the freedom to participate in rewriting the American narrative which then determines a redefined way of life for us? One alien to the essence of who we are.

    When guests in your own country begin to make you feel as if you cannot understand the order of your home any longer, then, in the words of the Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Schold—“Unfortunately, they cannot stay.”

  24. New York City’s Overreach: Federal Judge Strikes Down ‘Unconstitutional’ Gun Restrictions
    By Jim H?ft Oct. 26, 2023 11:15 am67 Comments

    A Victory for the Second Amendment and the Rule of Law
    In a crucial victory for the Second Amendment and civil liberties, a federal judge on Tuesday ruled that New York City’s gun restrictions violated both the Second and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

    Joseph Srour applied for a permit to possess rifles and shotguns in his home in 2018, followed by an application for a handgun license for home possession in 2019. Both applications were denied due to past arrests, a poor driving record, and allegedly making false statements, according to the court documents.

    Judge John P. Cronan, in a 48-page ruling, specifically criticized the city for allowing broad discretion to local officials in denying gun permits. This is an important development in the fight for gun rights and could have nationwide implications.

  26. Terrorist Apologist Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Extensive Fundraising Ties to Hamas Insiders Exposed by Watchdog Group
    By Jim H?ft Oct. 26, 2023 1:15 pm4 Comments

    Canary Mission, a watchdog organization that investigates hatred across the entire political spectrum, including the right, far-left and anti-Israel activists, asserts that three individuals with purported links to Hamas actively fundraised for Tlaib’s 2018 Congressional campaign.

    Democrat socialist and terrorist apologist Rashida Tlaib employed three activists reportedly linked to Hamas for fundraising during her 2018 election campaign. One of these activists was previously incarcerated for eight months due to suspected ties to Hamas terrorists.

    According to the organization, Tlaib utilized the Facebook page, PAC-USA, for fundraising activities during her 2018 Congressional campaign. She appointed the page’s founder as the Chairman of the Finance Committee for her campaign. This individual organized 12 fundraising events across 8 states with Tlaib’s endorsement

  27. HE’S SHOT: Joe Biden Reads “Period” From His Pre-Written Script During Remarks at Lavish State Dinner For Australian Prime Minister (VIDEO)

    Joe and Dr. Jill threw a lavish State Dinner for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Ms. Jodie Haydon of Australia on Wednesday night.

    The world is on fire and Americans are still trapped in Gaza, but Joe Biden partied the night away with DC elites. Hunter Biden was notably absent Wednesday night after he received major backlash for attending a previous State Dinner with US Attorney General Merrick Garland in attendance.

  28. Russia’s ability to innovate and manufacture military equipment is awesome. They came into Ukraine with a lot of old junk – that wasn’t all that bad – but lacked sufficient modern basics like universal night vision and DRONES.

    At first they bought the Shaheed from Iran, then improved on it. Now they’re on the third version of the terrific domestic Geran (“Geranium”), mass-producing it as they continue to fine-tune speed, range, payload, etc. The people who brought the Kalashnikov assault rifle into the world developed a kamikaze drone in 2019.

    Now Russian drones are abundant and CHEAP. A drone – or three – costing a few thousand dollars takes out tanks priced in the millions. Dima spoke about it today:

    • Go to about 15:00-16:38
      It’s important to know – DO NOT challenge these people to a duel.

  29. 1 day ago. Interesting. And tomorrow @JoeBiden is giving a speech on a proposal for an assault weapons ban at 1 pm EST?
    Wow. Interesting timing with what just happened in Lewiston, Maine tonight.
    Imagine that.

    Today Joe Biden demanded that Republicans pass a ban on “assault weapons” after the shooting in Maine last night. Meanwhile, the border is wide open and he wants you to be unarmed as Hezbollah and HAMAS terrorists pour across our open border.

    Maybe we should ban “high-powered hearing aids” because people with an agenda could feed someone with very bad thoughts and suggestions.

    Here’s What We Know About The Suspected Maine Shooter
    Lillian Tweten – October 26, 2023

    Excerpt:

    Card’s family said that he had been fitted with new, high-powered hearing aids over the summer and developed a “manic belief” that the aids were picking up voices that were saying “horrible” things about him, according to NBC. Katie Card, the suspect’s sister-in-law, said she and her husband had contacted the Army and the police with their concerns about Card’s mental health several weeks ago but didn’t know what actions had been taken by the agencies.

    “He was picking up voices that he had never heard,” Katie Card told NBC News. “His mind was twisting them around. He was humiliated by the things that he thought were being said.”
