Levin Interviews BIBI. Wish He Was Our President. Trump Correct As Is O'Reilly And Parker.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Monday night, Mark Levin had an exclusive interview with BIBI. It was very insightful/revealing. BIBI gave 3 reasons why he was re-entering the fight to become Israel's Prime Minister again. He repeated his oft spoken fact that weak nations never receive much consideration Because Israel was technologically secure it's economy must also be strong to enhance the opportunity derived from it's prowess and only then would it's Arab neighbors be willing to negotiate seriously to have a relationship.

I can only wish Bibi, the MIT trained politician, was our president.

Trump is correct.  He says what I have said and believed for years.

Trump: ‘Jews Have to Get Their Act Together’ in Supporting Israel

By Eric Mack,  NEWSMAX  1

Picking up his long-held criticism of Jewish Americans not taking enough concern for Israel, former President Donald Trump warned American Jews must “get their act together” on appreciating Israel “before it is too late.”

“No president has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social. “Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S. Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – highest approval rating in the world, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – before it is too late!”

The post echoes his past remarks made almost a year ago, where he rebuked The New York Times for being anti-Israel.

“There’s people in this country that are Jewish no longer love Israel. I’ll tell you the evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country,” Trump said last December. “It used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress, and today I think it’s the exact opposite.”

Trump blamed former President Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden for the anti-Israel sentiment, as they seek to work with the anti-Israel regime in Iran on nuclear deals past and potentially future.

“And I think Obama and Biden did that,” Trump lamented. “And yet in the election, they still get a lot of votes from Jewish people, which tells you that the Jewish people, and I’ve said this for a long time, the Jewish people in the United States, either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.

“I mean you look at The New York Times, The New York Times hates Israel. Hates them. And they’re Jewish people that run The New York Times. I mean the Sulzberger family.”

Trump’s remarks come just weeks before the Nov. 8 midterms final vote. Jewish media is hailing Democrats, suggesting the Jewish vote can carry the party to stave off a Republican wave.

“Jewish voters have the power to carry Democrats in the midterms,” according to Forward.com. “Abortion and the ongoing threats to democracy are the most important issues for Jewish voters.”

The Jewish Electorate Institute polled Jewish voters and found 74% follow the Democrats’ Jan. 6 narrative-pushing committee and 57% were more motivated to vote because of the messaging.

Trump, who’s daughter and son-in-law are Jewish, might be on to something with the lack of respect for what he has done for Israel and the Jewish world community. Just 19% of American Jews have a favorable view of Trump, while 70% of Jewish voters approve of the job President Joe Biden is doing, according to the poll.

Notably, Jewish voters’ opinion of Biden does not comport with the whole America community which has a majority disapproving of the job Biden is doing and Biden’s approval ratings in the 30s at times during his presidency.

Also, 68% of Jewish voters support the U.S. reentering the Iran nuclear deal.

4 Myths Jon Stewart Perpetuated About Radical Gender Theory

Nicole Russell

Former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart devoted an episode of his podcast recently to spreading the Left's easily debunkable myths about gender identity and transgenderism.

COMMENTARY BY

Nicole Russell is a contributor to The Daily Signal. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, National Review, Politico, The Washington Times, The American Spectator, and Parents magazin

In an Oct. 7 episode of “The Problem with Jon Stewart” podcast, “The War Over Gender,” the comedian and political commentator discussed sex and gender.

The episode created a lot of buzz. Leftists praised it for supposedly debunking what they called “hateful lies” and said it was “a breath of fresh air.” But a closer look shows the show started out with significant bias that perpetuated at least four myths and false notions that are harmful to the debate and to children in particular.

Myth #1: Sex and Gender Are Complicated

It didn’t help that Stewart went into the podcast determined to highlight the complexities of sex, gender, and gender transitioning. Stewart’s own promotional tweet said the episode was dedicated to him “break[ing] down the gender binary and gender spectrum.” So, he didn’t go into this with skepticism, but with a pro-transgender bias.

The former host of cable’s “The Daily Show” immediately mocked conservatives for asking the question “What is a woman?” first raised during the Senate confirmation hearings in March for now-Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. He claimed the simplicity of the question was old-fashioned and the answer far more nuanced than it appeared on its face. 

“We are in a new dawn of gender and sex complexity, where those who don’t fit into a simple binary are meant to be seen with humanity,” Stewart said. “The problem with gender and sex? It turns out none of this is simple.”

Reality: The number of people who are intersex, who have both male and female genitalia, make up less than one-half of 1% of the population. The debate over sex and gender is not about this tiny percentage of people. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous.

The debate over sex and gender is quite simple. It’s over whether or not a person can have gender dysphoria to the degree that the optimal “cure” is to adopt social changes, followed by sex-change surgery to assuage it.

The facts are that 99.9% of men and women are born with specific genitalia that designate which sex they are, and most tend to adopt mannerisms and clothing that align with that gender. This entire debate is over the remaining minuscule percentage who think gender is fluid, contradicting centuries of science and tradition.

Myth #2: Bills Against Transgenderism Are Hateful

Stewart repeatedly emphasized that dozens of states have introduced legislation that protects girls and women from the privacy and safety concerns associated with being forced to share otherwise sex-segregated spaces with biological males.

Instead of recognizing why there have been so many state bills like this, many of which have been enacted into law, Stewart immediately adopted the Left’s position, which is that such legislation is “anti-transgender.” He mocked the fact that so many measures like this have been introduced all over the country in the first place.

“Anti-trans legislation increased over 800% since 2018—800%,” Stewart said. “What could justify this unprecedented urgency? Did trans people storm the Capitol? Did they steal classified nuclear intel from the White House and keep it in a humidor in Florida? What is the threat?”

Reality: Forcing girls and women to compete with biological boys who “identify” as female is just plain unfair. Forcing them to share private spaces with biological males, whether in restrooms, locker rooms, or women’s shelters, is also inequitable and unsafe. Predators have and will continue to take advantage of areas where legislation does not protect females. It’s disingenuous to assert that legislation that protects girls is rooted in bigotry. It most definitely is not.

Myth #3: Only Transitioning Can Aid Suicidal Trans Youths

In an emotional plea, Stewart suggested parents who really care about their kids’ pain will indulge them in any treatment necessary to assuage this.

“If my daughter or my son came to me in agony, and I knew there was a program that I could get them into that had positive effects on their mental health, I would swim across rivers and climb mountains and tunnel through whatever I needed to get to save that child’s life,” he said. “And, my guess is, you’d do the same.”

Stewart’s comments imply that if parents don’t immediately help their child transition to the opposite gender, when they’re complaining about it, those parents are heartless or harmful. That’s not only presumptuous, it’s wrong.

Reality: First, there’s ample evidence that children who complain about gender dysphoria in their teens are experiencing effects of a contagion, not true dysphoria. For that, there is no need to rush to treatment.

Second, The Heritage Foundation has debunked the myth that “gender-affirming” care reduces suicide risk. In fact, until around 2015 when treatment became more commonplace, data shows there’s no difference in youth suicide rates between kids that have access to “gender-affirming” care without parental consent and kids that don’t. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

The availability of treatment without parental consent is ironically what seems to be increasing suicidal ideation, not the lack of availability of treatment.

Just as an aside, Stewart’s fellow comedian-commentator Bill Maher, a traditional liberal but not a reflexive leftist, in May on his HBO show “Real Time,” offered a diametrically different perspective: “When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg-leg surgery.”

Myth #4: Youths Don’t Outgrow Gender Dysphoria

Stewart was applauded for the segment of the show in which he interviewed Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. Rutledge repeated a common statistic many transgender proponents want to ignore; namely, that 98% of all youth with gender dysphoria eventually grow out of it. “That is an incredibly made-up figure,” Stewart said, saying it didn’t “comport” with any of the studies that exist from medical organizations. 

Reality: Rutledge’s statistic is in no way fabricated. Plenty of studies support it. It’s just often viewed as flawed because it doesn’t support the ongoing, left-wing narrative that kids must transition via sex-change surgery or hormone blockers to be happy.

A “wait and see” approach is best for youths who have dysphoria later in their childhood. Transgender activists just don’t mention that because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

THIS WEEK ON CURE AMERICA TV SHOW
The Dawn of a New Political Day


With 25 days until the election, it is a critical time to evaluate just what is at stake. This week on CURE America with Star Parker, Star stops by Congress to sit down with House Minority Whip and Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise, as he provides further insight into the new policy agenda House Republicans are putting together as they pave a path forward for the nation and prepare for potentially taking back control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Horace Cooper, Chairman of Project 21 National Advisory Board, is back to discuss and contrast these efforts with the same ones made 25 years ago when he worked with House Majority Leader Dick Armey.
 
Alfonso Aguilar is joined this week on the panel by Paris Dennard, National Spokesperson and Director of Black Media Affairs for the Republican National Committee. Together, they shed light on the work that is involved as the nation gears up for another election, the efforts taken and needed, and whether or not we will see politics continue as usual, or if this is the dawn of a new political day.
