 Report: IDF airstrikes kill 5 terrorists on Syrian-Lebanese border

Israel reportedly strikes PFLP base on Lebanon-Syrian border, killing 5 and injuring 10.

The Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on a terrorist position on the border of Syria and Lebanon Wednesday morning, Al-Jazeera has reported.

According to the report, the strike targeted a position controlled by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Five terrorists were reportedly eliminated in the strike, which hit just inside the Lebanese side of the frontier.

Israel has denied the report, though a senior terrorist from the PFLP confirmed to Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen that Israeli forces had struck a PFLP base.

He said that five terrorists had been killed and ten injured in the airstrike.

Next Israeli attack  should be on Suny's Law School.

CUNY Law dean who applauded ‘hate-filled’ commencement speaker developed race-related courses at last post

By Emily Crane

The dean of CUNY’s law school, who was among those to applaud the recent “hate-filled” commencement speech delivered by a graduate, previously spearheaded the creation of a race-related coursework requirement at her last job.

Before being tapped as head of CUNY’s law school last July, Sudha Setty — who has a history of advocating for “social justice lawyering” — spent four years leading the Western New England University’s legal faculty in Massachusetts and another 12 years as a faculty member.

In her role there as dean, Setty was behind the establishment of the “Antiracism and Cultural Competency” graduating requirement for the university’s students.

The graduating requirement, which was adopted by the law school in April 2021, included courses that were titled “Race, Racism & the Law” and “Business Law from an Antiracist Perspective.”

After starting out at the Big Apple-based Davis, Polk and Wardwell law firm, where she worked from 1999 to 2006, the majority of Setty’s legal career has been rooted in educating upcoming lawyers.

In an Aug. 2022 profile published on CUNY’s website promoting her new role as dean, Setty — a graduate of Columbia Law School — noted the best part about being a dean was helping to lead other educators in fulfilling a law school’s mission.

“At CUNY, that mission is social justice lawyering and tackling the structural barriers to justice that exist in so many contexts. Being part of those endeavors is a gift, and I come to this work with gratitude,” she said.

Asked what she hoped to accomplish as CUNY’s Law School dean, Setty said she wanted to promote “more leaders who are doing important social justice work in the law.”

“One of the things that a CUNY Law education is giving people is not just the ability to represent individuals and effect change through individual client representation,” she continued. “It’s also looking at things structurally, understanding both the context and history of that structure and considering how and when to push for reform and revision.”

The dean added: “We should be looking to put people on the bench, or legislators in office, or leaders at nonprofit organizations, or wherever we can to really start to effectuate change on the larger scale and help people in those institutions rethink what they are doing.”

Setty was among the CUNY faculty members who was seated on stage when graduate Fatima Mousa Mohammed called for a “revolution” to take on the legal system’s “white supremacy” during her May 12 commencement speech.

In the speech, which has been ripped by critics as “hate-filled” and divisive, Mohammed praised CUNY for supporting student activism — but said the school still failed students by supporting such institutions as the NYPD and US military.

It isn’t clear if Setty had prior knowledge of what Mohammed’s speech entailed — or if she supported it.

The dean was, however, captured on a livestream of the ceremony clapping as the future lawyer concluded the controversial address.

Setty didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment Tuesday.

Iran claims to test hypersonic missile that can breach all defense shields

Commander of Revolutionary Guard aerospace unit predicts that no technology for decades will be able to counter the new weapon

By ToI Staff

Iran on Monday announced that it had finished testing a new hypersonic missile capable of penetrating all defense systems and that it will soon be unveiled.

General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who commands the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s aerospace unit, said the development marked a “great leap in the field of missiles,” and that  “the hypersonic missile has a high speed and can maneuver both in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere.”

Hajizadeh first revealed the development of the hypersonic missile last November.

“It will be able to breach all the systems of anti-missile defense,” said the general at the time, adding that he believed it would take decades before a system capable of intercepting it is developed.

Hypersonic missiles, like traditional ballistic missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons, can fly more than five times the speed of sound.

A hypersonic missile is also maneuverable, making it harder to track and defend against.

While countries like the United States and Israel have developed systems designed to defend against cruise and ballistic missiles, the ability to track and take down a hypersonic missile remains a question.

Last week, Iran unveiled another version of a ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles), enough to hit areas of Israel.

================================

==============================

n of the Khorramshahr, which is Iran’s longest-range missile to date — was unveiled Thursday alongside a replica of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City, in a live broadcast on state television.

Iran said the missile had been successfully test-launched, with State TV broadcasting a few seconds of footage of what it said was the launch.

FREEDOM!

Brian. Abby, Blake and Dagny ff to a party.

I am no trained economist.  I invest  by the seat of my pants and instinct and years of  mistakes.. I believe we have an enormous amount of unresolved social and political issues that have brought this nation to its knees and if we continue along the path post Reagan our goose is cooked. "Ronnie" and "Newt" understood the essence of what it meant to be an American.  Reagan played the role enough in "B" grade movies to where, like with John Wayne, it was tattooed on  his soul.  Bush 41 had some of that soul but lacked being  a good politician. His son was worse and Clinton was was a good politician but personally a lout. Obama was a fraud, Trump had the guts and  political shrewdness of a New York street brawler but was an administrative disaster and Biden is a crooked mental issue.

We cannot go on with this kind of talent and maintain our status.  The competition and awesomeness of our primary adversary is too overpowering, committed and organized.

We need to get off the political train we are on and do what is demanded of us. We must reunite as one nation at a time when we are most divided and I fear that cannot happen.  There is only one thing around which we can and must  agree upon and rlly around  - FREEDOM!

The Republicans have the better talent but each lacks the essence of what constitutes the total package.

Yes, "WOE IS US, POGO Was Right.

I asked a dear friend what he thought of the current scene and this is what he sent back

I am cautious.for several reasons:

 

+++

1. The market today often seems reactive. It ignores obvious things right up until the moment they happen, then there is a sudden adjustment.

Thus, the recent obsession with "Fed pivot" and "rate cuts" which supposedly will fuel a new bull market. Yet history shows, when the Fedstarts cutting, the economy is doing badly and employment is falling. So there is a disconnect vs. conditions today. There is air below when everyone realizes that maybe a/ the Fed is not even close to cutting rates b/c

They might even hike again (?!) as some Fed voters want.

Some isolated stuff has "broken" (SIVB, FRB, CS) but there is still more stuff yet to break before the cycle is complete.s  Not a sure thing, but a lot of smart people think that.

2. Supposedly earnings are "not that bad." Maybe true. But for individual stocks, when they report poor numbers, they get slammed.

3. Valuations for some segments of the market, especially on the NASDAQ, are still pretty high. I believe all the companies which had ridiculous valuations are slowly seeing P/E's compress. As we know from 1973-75, and 2000-2002, this process takes a while.

4. Importantly, the breadth of the market is incredibly poor. Very narrow. This is not healthy. Every day I check the new highs vs. new lows on the NASDAQ, and most every day it is negative. As are other measures of breadth.

5. I have said the market won't really bottom until the Apes have set all their money on fire. This has not yet happened.

As for positioning, I have a lot of cash, several high yield cash- proxy equities, a large position in oil/gas, and pretty big slug of Financials and Industrial names. For the year to date, I am about flat......not great, but I have not blown up capital either.

Best regards,

Durham Dragged Into Court

Special Counsel John Durham is scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence Committee in a closed session on June 20 and publicly to testify to the chamber’s Judiciary Committee on June 21. During both sessions, he is going to talk about his final report which resulted from the four-year investigation into allegations of collusion between former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian officials.

Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, confirmed the scheduled hearing with the Judiciary Committee through his Twitter account on Friday. The National Review also reported the date of the hearing, while also pointing out that it had been almost found years since then-Attorney General Bill Barr had appointed Durham as special counsel to oversee the investigations into the origins of the probe into the allegations of ties between Russia and former President Trump.

Earlier this month Durham released a report in which he noted that the Department of Justice and the FBI did not have “any actual evidence of collusion” when the investigation was first launched. He further argued that the Crossfire Hurricane investigation relied on “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence relied too heavily on tips provided by Trump’s political opponents.”

On Thursday, Rep. Ben Cline, a member of the Judiciary Committee, told Newsmax that Durham’s testimony was going to provide the American people with the exact details of how the FBI had lied to the public and how rotten the intelligence agency had actually been. He further pointed out that it would reveal how the agency had used the Steele dossier despite knowing it was fake.

Stories that inspire always begin with an everyman never giving up

By Salena Zito

ROCHESTER-This past Saturday, Michael Block, golf’s 46-year-old everyman, was playing shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s top players at the PGAChampionship in New York state. Against all odds, he was holding his own so well that by Sunday, he was paired with arguably the greatest golfer of his generation, Rory McIlroy, a four-time major champion. 

Block’s reaction to that pairing was pretty much the same one most of us would have if we were paired with someone who we’ve admired from afar: disbelief. 

“You serious?” Block said, spinning around in a circle when he got the news. “Wow. That should be fun. We’ll have a good time,” he added, “Really?” Then spun around again in disbelief. 

It hadn’t dawned on Block yet, that he had earned that opportunity, but what had dawned on him was that he was having a moment he wanted to hold on to for the rest of his life, so he wisely savored it with amazing clarity. 

“Before you know it, you’re 60 years old and retired and look back at the videos and remember that was the best week of my life. So I’m going to sit back as much as I can with my friends and my family at the house we rented and watch the videos tonight and see all my new followers on Instagram. It’s been crazy.”

Block went to bed that night before the final round on Sunday believing he had hit the bucket list of all bucket lists, and he was good with that. Then came Sunday morning and a whole new adventure for him — and the rest of the country following his ascent — one he never saw coming. 

And when it did, Block didn’t even believe it. 

Block began the day on the first fairway with the crowds chanting, “Let’s go, Block.” However, it was at the 15th hole that the peak of his journey crystallized when he knocked his tee shot into the hole on the fly.

McIlroy strode over and gave him a bear hug. Yet Block wasn’t completely sure what happened, and he was caught on TV saying, "That didn't go in, did it? No, no. No way. No way."

• If what is going on with Hunter was on the other side the entire country would be glued to their boob tubes:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++.

Much Commentary.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

First, since when can a U.S Court allow a foreign government to spy legally on our citizens and in our own nation? Would China allow America to spy on their citizens?  Do the Chinese even  have 1st Amendment Rights in their nation? 

Second, the NAACP was once the leading organization for blacks It had outstanding leadership and was totally dedicated to what was best for integrating blacks into the American life stream.

Today, the NCAAP has become another political organization that lost it's direction and broke with values that made America a great family driven, huge church/family oriented uplifted society. The NAACP locked arms with Democrats, took the easy route and  missed the opportunity of demanding the black population become a westernized independent non-welfare driven society.

Their entrepreneurial blck spirit, mainly remained  in the field of sports and  music, was never challenged nor encouraged to develop their reasoning  abilities.  

THIRD, , every one I respect and agree with politically, are being unmercifully attacked. So, I  have concluded I must be doing something right.  DeSantos and  Musk are being bombarded and most everything they are doing and saying, is being challenged while Durham keeps releasing revealing bombs. and being totally ignored By thE indifferent mass media.

Meanwhile, any candidate that goes woke loses my vote/Any candidate.

FOURTH., we seem to have a president who remains intransient because, though he has spent trillions , he still has more trillions  he wants to spend.  The mass media are shielding Biden and accusing DeSantis of being  a white supremisist bigot. (That's the new Democrat weaponization pill) that supplants fentanyl that Biden floods America with coming through Mexico enriching the Drug Cartels.)

FIFTH Target is getting ready to drop to their knees like Disney and Anheuser, embrace socialism and abandon capitalism.

The Chinese are not free. They continue enslaved by the Communist CCP which is arrogant and dangerous.  

 

I believe, DeSantis embraced a brilliant campaign strategy.  He arranged for critical questions to be asked in a straight forward manner and he answered them accordingly.  He knows the Democrats and mass media louts will shoot down everything he says but the "deplorables" will decipher.   

Meanwhile, the BLM blacks also announced, at the same time, they proved to be the fraudulent shakedown artists they always were  and declared bankruptcy. The meek white capital industrialists  were shown to be nothing but cowards. What a daunting contrast.

DeSantis must not go nasty just remain clever, repost and slay his detractors with satire.  He has the grey matter and is capable of doing so.

My preferred VP for DeSantis would be Sec of State  Pompeo but Sen. Scott. would also be fine for different reasons.

The Ron DeSantis Challenge

The Florida Governor has a strong record. Can he offer voters a larger national vision?

By The Editorial Board

The unfortunate political reality today is that the U.S. is marching toward a 2024 rematch between two aging Presidents, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, that most Americans say they don’t want. This great country can do better, but it’s up to voters to spare us from the divisive oldsters who desperately need each other to win a second term.

At least for now, the Democratic Party is defaulting to 80-year-old President Biden. But even most Democrats prefer a new nominee, and nearly 30% are making that point by telling pollsters they support the vanity candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Marianne Williamson. It’s not far-fetched that Mr. Biden will decide not to run, or that some serious candidate might challenge the President if there’s a deep recession, or he shows even more noticeable physical or mental decline

Republicans are at least getting a better choice as a variety of candidates enter the presidential race. They all have their merits and deserve a hearing as the campaign unfolds. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis joined the fray on Wednesday and, judging by the polls and his financial backing to date, he is the biggest threat to Mr. Trump.

The 44-year-old has an impressive resume: son of middle-class parents, Yale baseball captain, Harvard law school, Navy veteran including a tour in Iraq, and a three-term Member of Congress. But he has made his mark politically with his record as the two-term Governor of booming Florida.gy.

His greatest achievement was his handling of the pandemic. After the initial panic and shutdowns driven by President Trump and Anthony Fauci in Washington, Mr. DeSantis did his own homework on Covid health risks and the costs of economic and school lockdowns.

This wasn’t easy given media conformity and the public mood at the time. New York’s Andrew Cuomo was hailed as a national hero for his onerous lockdowns and fighting with Mr. Trump. Mr. DeSantis decided to reopen the schools in 2020 and had to fight lawsuits to do so. He was among the first governors to reopen his state’s economy, and Florida became a mecca for tens of thousands who wanted a refuge from lockdown isolation. For breaking from Covid orthodoxy, he was maligned in the press as the “angel of death.”

This is a sharp contrast with Mr. Trump, who indulged the lockdown lobby for months, kept Dr. Fauci on the job through the end of his term, and shot from the lip on treatments and other controversies that undermined public confidence. This gave Mr. Biden the opening to defeat him in 2020.

The acid test of leadership is how someone responds in a crisis, and Mr. DeSantis showed both the discipline to master the subject and the courage to defy elite opinion for the larger public good.

Mr. DeSantis’s record is undeniably conservative, and some critics fear it may be too far right to win a national election. Mr. Trump seems to think so as he is attacking the Governor from the left on Social Security, abortion for Florida’s six-week ban, and the fight over Disney’s special Florida privileges.

But Mr. DeSantis won re-election in 2022 by 19 points in a state that has traditionally been a nail-biter. He won Hispanic counties and others that traditionally vote Democratic. Mr. Trump hasn’t won anything for himself or the rest of his party since his inside electoral straight in 2016.

A more serious concern for many is Mr. DeSantis’s fence-straddling on Ukraine and Russia. He indulged a former Fox News host by calling the war a “territorial dispute,” though he later said the phrase was misunderstood.

But Mr. DeSantis hasn’t clarified his larger foreign-policy views, and the worry is that he will make the mistake of chasing Mr. Trump in retreating from U.S. global commitments. Mr. DeSantis will need to explain how he defines being a foreign policy “Jacksonian” in an increasingly dangerous world.

The other rap against Mr. DeSantis is that he’s a cultural brawler more than a likable unifier. There’s truth to this. He’s no backslapper, and he’d benefit from even a little of Ronald Reagan’s self-deprecating humor. The best candidates for President campaign with some poetry and optimism as well as policy grit and personal toughness.

The Governor will also need a larger vision for America beyond his Florida success—not least how he’d lift the economy out of stagflation and the country out of its angry divisions. Mr. Biden promised to do the latter but has made his Presidency hostage to the Bernie Sanders left. Mr. Trump is promising a politics of “retribution,” which means four more years of national trench warfare.

Mr. Biden’s failures mean there’s an opportunity for Republicans to offer voters a better vision of national renewal. The country needs it, Americans want it, and the opening is there if a GOP candidate can seize the moment.

Apparently the AG and FBI are doing what they can to run out the time  the Statute of Limits remains effective on The Hunter Biden lap top matter to make sure questions of graft never reach the president. 

Were I a justice I would rule evidence of obstruction would not be allowed to prevent the delay of the running of the statute of limitation since the courts have no resource capability of allowing them to thwart "hanky panky."

It should be against the law to manipulate the law for illegal purposes for the purpose of gaining advantages..

+++

The GOP nomination process seems to be shaping up as Sen. Scott versus Gov. DeSantis and former President Trump and I believe a good team would be Trump with either Gov.DeSantis and or Sen. Scott.

It would be better if Trump dropped out and let Scott and DeSantis fight it out with another candidate. The latter would be a better approch to heal the discord. Democrats will always run as liars and attack dogs and a weaponized approach.  They know nothing better.

The Kabuki Dance will eventually end but Democrat Weaponization Will continue.

Depth Of FBI Deeper and Deeper.

 

Red Flag - Agents Turn On FBI.  The depth of corruption in The FBI is unfathomable. The more you dig the deeper you must go.

The general concern among the "deplorables" remains as follows:

a) No one, and I mean no one, except the whistle blowers will receive any punishment making the institution even less penetrable and thus, more distrusted.

b) The current head will remain in office and no evidence will be handed over.  This will prove further distrust of the court system since they have no real enforcement power.

c) Nothing will happen to Hunter because no charges will ever be brought against any member of the Biden Family and certainly the President will not be touched nor the AG.

d)  Try as they will, the OVAL OFFICE Will be shielded and the mass media will continue to shill for The FBI because, in doing so, they also are protecting themselves from their own collusion. 

e) How this eventually play out is anyone's guess with the election coming up.  Will the independents rise up in disgust and throw the rascals out? Do they actually care anymore? Can Biden remain hidden and pull off another ghost like president because his opposition is so despised and his own incompetence and dishonesty can/will be ignored?

f) What message does our own indifference send to our allies and does this weaken our nation with them and give advantages to our adversaries' who are actively moving to convince the world America is an Eagle whose wings have been clipped?

Stay tuned.

Shocking discovery...

Anti-Israel Islamist appointed to school board human relations and diversity committees May 21, 2023 Naima Khan-Ghany promotes divisiveness, hatred of Jews, and the destruction of Israel. By Joe Kaufman, Front Page Magazine Trinidad-born Naima Khan-Ghany, along with her signature hijab and glasses, wears a big smile on her face. But her friendly and grandmotherly appearance is deceiving, as she promotes vile antisemitism and the destruction of Israel and is involved with those tied to violence and bigotry, targeting Jews, gays and others. It is of major concern, because she has been appointed and recently reappointed to positions within the Broward County School Board that ironically deal with “diversity” and “human relations.” Will Khan-Ghany’s controversial exploits disallow her from further serving in such positions? Does the School Board embrace her radical activities? Khan-Ghany is a public school teacher and adviser to local high school and middle school chapters of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), a youth group founded by operatives from the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963. She has sat on the Broward County School Board Diversity Committee, since January 2016. She is also the Chair of the School Board’s Human Relations Committee. She was recently reappointed to both by newly elected School Board member Jeff Holness, who is no stranger to Islamist gatherings. Previously, she was appointed by Holness’ predecessor Rosalind Osgood, who vacated her seat to run for Florida State Senate. According to the website for Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), “The primary responsibility of the Diversity Committee is to make recommendations to promote diversity through the Superintendent, to the School Board, while maintaining a unitary school system.” And “The Human Relations Committee… makes recommendations to the Superintendent and the School Board on matters that foster mutual respect and understanding among people within BCPS. The committee further supports the work of the District as it pertains to policies related to diversity, educational/vocational equity, nondiscrimination, inclusion and character education.” It would seem that the activities Khan-Ghany has been associating herself with fall in direct opposition to the missions of both the Diversity and Human Relations Committees and are huge conflicts of interest. ‘Antisemitic’ Roger Waters concert in Frankfurt may now go ahead, German court rules Khan-Ghany is a former host of Who’s Who in America, a show produced by the Al-Hikmat Islamic Network, the media arm of the Darul Uloom Institute (DUI). DUI has been a haven for high-profile al-Qaeda militants, including “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla and al-Qaeda Commander Adnan el-Shukrijumah. At Al-Hikmat, Khan-Ghany organized an event with el-Shukrijumah’s younger brother, Nabil el-Shukri. The leader and founder of DUI/Al-Hikmat is Shafayat Mohamed, an imam who has been thrown off several Broward County community boards for his talks against homosexuals. Mohamed has claimed that natural disasters are caused by gay sex. In February 2015, Khan-Ghany was a speaker at a banquet for ICNA Relief, the social services division of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a group that has numerous ties to South Asian terror. In February 2019, Khan-Ghany was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Government Affairs Coordinator Syed Ammar Ahmed, who has previously joked about threatening to blow up a school. In February 2020, she was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Chief Operating Officer Abdul Rauf Khan, who has used his social media to promote the Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Semitic icon Louis Farrakhan and to target Jews and gays. In May 2021, Khan-Ghany was a contact for and provided the introduction for an event featuring former South Florida imam Ibrahim Dremali, titled ‘LET’S TALK PALESTINE.’ The speech was co-sponsored by Khan-Ghany’s Broward County MSA Council. Throughout the lecture, Dremali incited against the Jewish community, telling the crowd, “The Jews… want to destroy the Dome of the Rock,” the Muslim shrine. Days prior to the event, Dremali urged others to fund Hamas; implored people to read the anti-Semitic fraud, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and said, “If the Arab leaders open the borders for Palestine… the Jews they’ll be inside that ocean.” McCarthy torpedoes Rashida Tlaib's planned Palestinian Nakba Day event at Capitol Khan-Ghany makes no secret of her own hatred of the Jewish state. In May 2021, she made a series of posts on her social media questioning Israel’s right to exist and right to defend herself and calling for Israel’s outright destruction. She wrote that Israel’s claim of “self-defense” was a “usual excuse.” She posted a call for prayers for the “liberation of Palestine… from the river to the sea.” She posted a video of similar statements from members of the condemned Jewish fringe group Neturei Karta, with one outrageously saying, “At the end of the day, the Palestinian flag will be on all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.” After Khan-Ghany posted the logos of over 60 popular US companies, writing, “Boycott these products!” she was called out by an ex-colleague. Former Broward School Board Student Representative Beau Simon wrote, “Ms. Khan I have the utmost respect for you and I enjoyed working with you at the School Board but you really should look into other ways to promote peace in the Middle East rather than ‘boycotting’ Israeli products. This post and advertisement solves nothing, if anything it divides us more. I highly suggest you reevaluate some things you may post and ask yourself ‘is this contributing to the solution or making the problem worse?’” Lebanon bans Cypriot airline due to minority owner being Israeli Khan-Ghany’s posts do not just target Israel with hate; some of them go after Jews themselves. Khan-Ghany has used social media to promote videos of notorious anti-Semite, TruNews host Rick Wiles. In one video, Wiles equates Jews with Communists, Bolsheviks and Satanists and refers to European (Ashkenazi) Jews as “so-called” Jews. In another, he spews the libel about Jews owning the media, asking, “Who planted into our minds, here in America, that we should hate and kill Muslims?… [A]fter 9/11… we were saturated with media propaganda. Who owns the media in this country?” On top of the video, one reads the message, “Make this go viral.” With all of Khan-Ghany’s extensively documented involvement with militant Muslim groups that are related to hatred and violence and her personal promotion of bigotry and fanatical animosity towards Jews and Israel, one has to ask how she can remain so long on committees associated with the Broward County School Board. This is especially the case, given that these committees deal with diversity and human relations. The extremists whom she aids and abets cynically view ‘human relations’ as a vehicle for promoting the advancement of Islamist causes and ‘diversity’ as a means of placing radical coreligionists in positions of power and influence. As Khan-Ghany herself stated, regarding her work in getting recognition of a “Muslim Heritage Month” in Broward County and a day off from school for Muslims placed on the Broward School Board calendar, “I am not in this for the name, fame or glorification; it is for Islam.” Beila Rabinowitz, Director of Militant Islam Monitor, contributed to this report.

Over the years, Democrats have lied to and manipulated us in many ways. They have used intimidation to still our voices, they have done illegal things which they then said Republicans were guilty of doing and they have used the laws in illegal ways like lying to judges to obtain illegal  warrants etc.,

The worst is their corruption of the IRS, FBI and other serious agencies The leadership of these agencies were outrageous. They ignored any guidelines, operated with complete abandon and ignored all procedures. Comey was one of the worst and should .himself, be in jail.

Here are a few major categories where their illegal activities have been most evident:

Viruses:

a) Fauci had our government help fund the Chinese develop viruses that killed so we could see their effect because it was against the law for us to do so.

b) Then he shut down an entire government, crippled our economy as we watched everything collapse and our children fell behind. They were already educationally behind.

c) The Chinese children were already ahead educationally and now are further so.

Voting and elections:

d) Democrats developed ballot harvesting so they could manipulate the voting process and cause doubt as to a fair election.

Law and Order:

e) Democrats funded campaigns of District Atty campaigns in order to elect those who were willing to disregard the enforcement of existing laws so there would be increased disorder and chaos. (sanctuary cities, disregard modest violations. defund police departments and substitute social workers because more crime were mental related etc.)

f)  Democrat's goal was to weaponize politics and bring about more discord. 

At the same time failure to enforce the laws by law violators allowed a double legal standard to dictate enforcement.  

Selective justice was one way to allow black citizens to introduce all kind of new concepts as substituting equity for equality and anyone who disagreed was called a racist and new slogans were sought to spread even more discord and cause intimidation so the opposition would remain silent and the opposition could be controlled as government grew, became more powerful and dictatorial etc.

g)  As rioters took to the streets law breakers were held to more lenient standards and a two tier legal system evolved.

The concept of capitalism was attacked and socialism and communism became the preferred choice of the marauders and crime breakers.

h) At the same time parents were attacked for protecting their children. who were being bombarded with sexual choices challenging their biological status.  The decline in hospital surgeries were supplanted with sex change surgeries. 

Political Activities

i) While the above was occurring, attacks on Trump, as a Russian foil, were being manipulated to cast doubt upon his legitimacy and his impeachment was being orchestrated by Hillary through a well connected Democrat affiliated law firm.  

In other words, a law firm named Perkins Coie's Influential Partner, named Marc Elias, Testified About Clinton ... and detailed Perkins Coie's work on behalf of the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign as he took the stand ... COI had Hillary's fingerprints all over the matter.

j) This was the foundation for Trump's fist impeachment.

k) The basis for the second impeachment was the basesless telephone call by Trump with Ukraine's president.

Both j and k were harmless and now the new charge, yet to be charged where Trump berated the State's Sec of State to find him some votes is being brought so Trump can be jailed as a felon and unable to run again.

The witch hunt against Trump continues based on the flimsiest charges and evidence.

1)  The biggest lie pertains to the southern border being closed to illegals.

No wonder Americans have nothing but contempt for government.  It lies to us all the time and is constantly supported by a mass media that is totally in the pocket of the Democrats.

+++  

ELECTION:

When it comes to the next election, Republicans have to overcome Trump's core vote lead and speak in a  co-ordinated  rational way when it comes to abortion.  DeSantis is correct when he says they need to disregard running about past abuses and focus on Trump's failure to capture the middle ground and learn how to use mass voting techniques.

American Bankruptcy:

Biden has little choice but agree to allowing America to honor it's legal obligation to pay interest on bonds already issued.  Biden's outrageous spending must stop and the paydown on our bankrupting spending must be curtailed and return way below pre Covid levels.

Our debt levels exceeds GDP and that is unacceptable if we are to be in a position of to meet China's military  and commercial challenge.

The ball is in Biden's court and McCarthy must not buckle. No blinking.

It is time for Whitey to start fighting back.  

White's will argue it all began with Affirmative action and spread to the dangerous nonsense we currently are experiencing. 

Blacks will tell you it all began with political correctness and ended with demands for reparations.  As long as the demands are based on race and color related  we will remain divided and that will be unhealthy. If we are to remain a united nation we must come together. Hypocrisy is not the glue that will knit back our society and return American values that made us a great nation and people. 

It might give Hollywood Liberals a stake in the false game of hypocrisy but it has no basis in reality.

OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRATS FROM A DEMOCRAT


I just have a few questions for you....


Let me start with, I already know you don't like President Trump...that's a given,


SO let's move on from that...


How about the division of America..


Do you really blame Trump for that?


How about when NONE of the DEMOCRATS showed up for his inauguration? Don't you think that started the division? He hadn't even been president yet, and EXCEPT for Clinton and Obama, not one democrat showed up....Is that when Trump divided America?


Can you imagine if the REPUBLICANS didn't show up for Obama's inauguration because they lost??? Can you even start to imagine what would have happened?


How about when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN has STARTED? Was that when Trump divided America?


How about when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump's state of the union right in front of the world, showing complete disrespect for the President of the United States? Did that bring the country together and is THAT when Trump divided America?


How about when America had to endure, 3 years and over 30 million dollars spent on trying to PROVE that Trump only won because of RUSSIAN COLLUSION and NOT because America voted him in and 17 Democrats did EVERYTHING in their power to PROVE that there was Russian Collusion...and came up with ZERO...?


Was THAT when Trump divided America?


I can't even start to go over the NEGATIVE PRESS he's received since his surprise win...


Remember, the DONORS, the likes Bloomberg, who gave 27 million, Tom Steyer who gave 17 million, George Soros who gave 9 million and MANY MORE that gave MULTI-MILLIONS to Hillary, wanted a return on their investment...


Do you really think that donors give MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS just because they love Hillary?


NO, these weren't campaign donations, they were INVESTMENTS into what HILLARY had promised them when she became president....


They were so sure she would win and they would be SHOWERED with HUGE RETURNS, and when it didn't happen and they LOST all those millions, they went all out to TAKE TRUMP out of OFFICE by any means possible...


DID YOU KNOW that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them, are owned by or run by BIG DEMOCRAT DONORS? You can verify all of that for yourselves...I did...


Since the moment Trump won, even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media's reporting was 92% negative on Trump, do you know why?
It was those big donors that lost their dream of MILLIONS of dollars, on their returns that they were going to receive when Hillary was president and they weren't going to take that loss lightly...They needed to PUNISH TRUMP and those that VOTED HIM IN...


I've said this since the night he was elected...


"There is NOTHING the left won't do to take down our President”, our country and us, no low they won't go to, to get their power back", and sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.


Let me ask you this...Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishment or campaign promises he's kept, have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to ANYTHING he does?


Please ask yourselves the following questions, if you dare...


What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 47 years that he's held an office?


What did Joe Biden ever do for BLACKS when HE and Obama were in office?
What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?
What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle class worker?


Let me also ask you this...Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, burning flag, beating up police officers, disrespecting our founders and hating our country?
It comes straight from our SCHOOLS that have slowly been tearing down our history...
If there is a teacher out there, please tell me the following:
Do you teach the truth that it was the DEMOCRATS that:
Were the KKK?
That the GRAND LEADER of the KKK was Robert Byrd, who was elected to congress and served for decades, and that it was Hillary, Bill, and Obama that gave his EULOGY praising him?
That the DEMOCRATS fought the Civil war to KEEP SLAVERY?


That the inner-city ghettoes were created by DEMOCRATS to keep control of slaves after they were freed?
That planned parenthood was founded in inner cities to CONTROL the BLACK POPULATION?


Is any of this in your history books?

Let me ask you this as well.


Can a student speak up when he/she disagrees with a teacher when they say that Trump is a horrible president or the electoral college has to be eliminated?
Don't think so?


Well, I know a student that actually happened to...When the teacher said it had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, and he stated the reason it should stay,
She ripped him apart and gave the entire class a 5 hour test, and stated it was because he DARED to disagree with her...


Is that happening in your schools?


I'm only asking questions....I'd like your answers..


President Trump and his entire family has been vilified, demeaned and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only.......HE WON...


Have you noticed the DEMOCRATS only throw tantrums and OBJECT to everything he does and have NEVER ONCE gotten behind him or tried to work with him to help make America the best it can be?


WHY? They can't afford to get behind him...he would WIN AGAIN, and they can't let that happen....if he wins again, the Democrat party will be destroyed and they know it...


Did you notice that the "CAGES" the left claimed that Trump built to put Illegal children in, WERE BUILT BY OBAMA for the very purpose of PUTTING ILLEGAL CHILDREN IN?


Was THAT all over the news when Obama did it? The very same "CAGES"...but the media was silent!!


How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence,and was DEMONIZED 24/7 but NOT A WORD when Obama commuted 1715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office...


DID WE EVEN HEAR one WORD about it? Were there reporters even reporting it...NO! Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, since Trump's been in office he's commuted 10 people...compare that to Obama...Is that reporting fair?


How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the SWINE FLU, to INFECT MILLIONS of Americans before declaring it a health emergency....


Was the press losing it's minds and calling it the OBAMAFLU AND BLAMING OBAMA and BIDEN for the spread ? SILENCE!


Compare this to the NEGATIVE COVERAGE that Trump got when, he immediately halted travel from China when, in February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, or when DeBlasio, in March, said ride the subways and go to broadway...BUT those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus..


A FINAL QUESTION:


What have the DEMOCRATS done to help make America the best, to get behind a president that works tirelessly to care about WE THE PEOPLE instead of using us as political pawns..
What have the democrats done for people of color EXCEPT for GIVING ILLEGALS more rights than citizens and having us pay for it...


JUST imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats worked with him on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he's created opportunity zones, job training etc.


When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students they ran Betsy Devoss out!! The Dems running those innercity schools wanted no part of school choice.

Have you ever wondered why it's cities that have been run, for decades, that have the MOST HOMELESS, the MOST CRIME, the most MURDERS, the worst INNER CITY schools, ARE ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS???


If you haven't started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should..


As I said, my entire family used to be democrats, but NOT ONE will ever vote for a democrat again....They asked themselves the same questions and the answer was clear....

Israel's damn fools if they do not elect him.

Poll: Netanyahu is again favored to serve as Prime Minister

Following Operation Shield and Arrow, Israelis once again see Netanyahu as the most suitable person to serve as Prime Minister.

  May 19, 2023 at 11:26 PM (GMT+3)

Netanyahu and Gantz

A new poll published Friday by Channel 12 News finds that, following Operation Shield and Arrow in the Gaza Strip, Israelis once again see Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the most suitable person to serve as Prime Minister.

After several weeks in which National Unity Party chairman Benny Gantz led in the polls, Netanyahu's popularity is increasing: 39% of respondents answered that the current Prime Minister is the most suitable for the job, compared to 36% who support Gantz.

When Netanyahu is opposed by opposition leader Yair Lapid, the gap is even wider: 42% think that Netanyahu is the most suitable for the job, and only 27% think that Lapid is most suitable.

Amid the discussions on the controversial Draft Law, respondents were asked about an exemption for haredim from being drafted to the IDF. Out of all the respondents - a majority of 65% believe that the haredim should enlist in the IDF, compared to only 22% who think that the haredim should be permitted to focus on Torah study.

Among voters of the Netanyahu bloc, the gap narrowed, and the percentages are almost the same: 42% believe that haredim should be permitted to focus on Torah study and not serve in the IDF, and 45% believe that the haredim should serve like everyone else.

Respondents were also asked - "If Lapid and Gantz had the opportunity to form a government with the haredim, do you think they would transfer the same funds to the haredi sector [as the current government is doing]?" – In response, only 34% said they believe that the funds would have gone to the haredi sector, while 49% thought that Gantz and Lapid would not have transferred such sums.

The upcoming Jewish festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) celebrates the Revelation at Mount Sinai. Appropriately, Israelis have been revealing more innovations and activities to benefit humanity.

Recent medical revelations include, why some Alzheimer's patients deteriorate more than others. Also, that a significant number of Parkinson's patients suddenly become creative. Sheba Medical Center is able to see patients without them coming to the hospital, while Wolfson hospital can see what's going on with cancer patients round the clock with Artificial Intelligent monitors.

Israeli technical innovations include a portable computer where the owner uses special glasses to reveal multiple pages of information, displayed in mid air. And an Israeli satellite system will reveal details of emergencies to international response teams.

Many institutional buildings were revealed during Open House Tel Aviv week; an Israeli swimmer revealed the location of a sunken Roman cargo ship; and a rare Mediterranean Monk seal has been revealed basking on an Israeli beach.

Many more recent international conferences, exhibitions and events in Israel have  revealed Israel's contributions to the world. They include Biomed Israel, EcoMotion Week, the International Writers' Festival and the March of the Nations.

The photo (as revealed by Sharon) is of the new pedestrian bridge suspended across the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem, revealing a unique view of Israel's capital.

Naima Khan-Ghany promotes divisiveness, hatred of Jews, and the destruction of Israel.

By Joe Kaufman, Front Page Magazine

Trinidad-born Naima Khan-Ghany, along with her signature hijab and glasses, wears a big smile on her face. But her friendly and grandmotherly appearance is deceiving, as she promotes vile antisemitism and the destruction of Israel and is involved with those tied to violence and bigotry, targeting Jews, gays and others.

It is of major concern, because she has been appointed and recently reappointed to positions within the Broward County School Board that ironically deal with “diversity” and “human relations.” Will Khan-Ghany’s controversial exploits disallow her from further serving in such positions? Does the School Board embrace her radical activities?

Khan-Ghany is a public school teacher and adviser to local high school and middle school chapters of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), a youth group founded by operatives from the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963. She has sat on the Broward County School Board Diversity Committee, since January 2016. She is also the Chair of the School Board’s Human Relations Committee. She was recently reappointed to both by newly elected School Board member Jeff Holness, who is no stranger to Islamist gatherings. Previously, she was appointed by Holness’ predecessor Rosalind Osgood, who vacated her seat to run for Florida State Senate.

According to the website for Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), “The primary responsibility of the Diversity Committee is to make recommendations to promote diversity through the Superintendent, to the School Board, while maintaining a unitary school system.” And “The Human Relations Committee… makes recommendations to the Superintendent and the School Board on matters that foster mutual respect and understanding among people within BCPS. The committee further supports the work of the District as it pertains to policies related to diversity, educational/vocational equity, nondiscrimination, inclusion and character education.”

It would seem that the activities Khan-Ghany has been associating herself with fall in direct opposition to the missions of both the Diversity and Human Relations Committees and are huge conflicts of interest.

Khan-Ghany is a former host of Who’s Who in America, a show produced by the Al-Hikmat Islamic Network, the media arm of the Darul Uloom Institute (DUI). DUI has been a haven for high-profile al-Qaeda militants, including “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla and al-Qaeda Commander Adnan el-Shukrijumah. At Al-Hikmat, Khan-Ghany organized an event with el-Shukrijumah’s younger brother, Nabil el-Shukri. The leader and founder of DUI/Al-Hikmat is Shafayat Mohamed, an imam who has been thrown off several Broward County community boards for his talks against homosexuals. Mohamed has claimed that natural disasters are caused by gay sex.

In February 2015, Khan-Ghany was a speaker at a banquet for ICNA Relief, the social services division of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a group that has numerous ties to South Asian terror. In February 2019, Khan-Ghany was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Government Affairs Coordinator Syed Ammar Ahmed, who has previously joked about threatening to blow up a school. In February 2020, she was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Chief Operating Officer Abdul Rauf Khan, who has used his social media to promote the Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Semitic icon Louis Farrakhan and to target Jews and gays.

In May 2021, Khan-Ghany was a contact for and provided the introduction for an event featuring former South Florida imam Ibrahim Dremali, titled ‘LET’S TALK PALESTINE.’ The speech was co-sponsored by Khan-Ghany’s Broward County MSA Council. Throughout the lecture, Dremali incited against the Jewish community, telling the crowd, “The Jews… want to destroy the Dome of the Rock,” the Muslim shrine. Days prior to the event, Dremali urged others to fund Hamas; implored people to read the anti-Semitic fraud, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and said, “If the Arab leaders open the borders for Palestine… the Jews they’ll be inside that ocean.”

Khan-Ghany makes no secret of her own hatred of the Jewish state. In May 2021, she made a series of posts on her social media questioning Israel’s right to exist and right to defend herself and calling for Israel’s outright destruction. She wrote that Israel’s claim of “self-defense” was a “usual excuse.” She posted a call for prayers for the “liberation of Palestine… from the river to the sea.” She posted a video of similar statements from members of the condemned Jewish fringe group Neturei Karta, with one outrageously saying, “At the end of the day, the Palestinian flag will be on all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.”

After Khan-Ghany posted the logos of over 60 popular US companies, writing, “Boycott these products!” she was called out by an ex-colleague. Former Broward School Board Student Representative Beau Simon wrote, “Ms. Khan I have the utmost respect for you and I enjoyed working with you at the School Board but you really should look into other ways to promote peace in the Middle East rather than ‘boycotting’ Israeli products. This post and advertisement solves nothing, if anything it divides us more. I highly suggest you reevaluate some things you may post and ask yourself ‘is this contributing to the solution or making the problem worse?’”

Khan-Ghany’s posts do not just target Israel with hate; some of them go after Jews themselves. Khan-Ghany has used social media to promote videos of notorious anti-Semite, TruNews host Rick Wiles. In one video, Wiles equates Jews with Communists, Bolsheviks and Satanists and refers to European (Ashkenazi) Jews as “so-called” Jews. In another, he spews the libel about Jews owning the media, asking, “Who planted into our minds, here in America, that we should hate and kill Muslims?… [A]fter 9/11… we were saturated with media propaganda. Who owns the media in this country?” On top of the video, one reads the message, “Make this go viral.”

With all of Khan-Ghany’s extensively documented involvement with militant Muslim groups that are related to hatred and violence and her personal promotion of bigotry and fanatical animosity towards Jews and Israel, one has to ask how she can remain so long on committees associated with the Broward County School Board. This is especially the case, given that these committees deal with diversity and human relations.

The extremists whom she aids and abets cynically view ‘human relations’ as a vehicle for promoting the advancement of Islamist causes and ‘diversity’ as a means of placing radical coreligionists in positions of power and influence. As Khan-Ghany herself stated, regarding her work in getting recognition of a “Muslim Heritage Month” in Broward County and a day off from school for Muslims placed on the Broward School Board calendar, “I am not in this for the name, fame or glorification; it is for Islam.”
