Dems Are Freaking Out Over This Little-Known
Minnesota Congresscritter

Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) launched a longshot bid on Friday to unseat Presidentish Joe Biden in the upcoming Democratic primaries that functionally don’t matter, yet somehow Phillips has Democrats freaking out. Washington Post columnist Dan Balz serves as the unofficial voice of what all the correct people in Washington are thinking, and he led his Saturday column with the story of how Sen. Eugene McCarthy — another Minnesota Democrat — spoiled President Lyndon Johnson’s reelection in 1968. Phillips’ campaign, Balz wrote, "is built on perceived anxiety about Biden’s age," and serves as "a placeholder for the unease about Biden, 80, that exists among many Democrats."

I was cruising around on Twitter and saw something that blew my mind: Hamas is refusing to let any of the 600 American citizens (and 400 Canadians, and who knows how many others from elsewhere) who were in Gaza at the time of the attacks to leave.
Uh, wut? Why didn’t I know this before, and why hasn’t the media made a big deal of it? [Tweets]
At issue are Americans who were in Gaza on 10/7, whom Hamas has refused to allow passage out of the country.
The nugget was buried in a story about the suspension of flights out of Israel that had been facilitated by the State Department.
A Nevada man was arrested last week in connection to allegedly issuing ominous and antisemitic threats to a U.S. senator in the wake of Hamas’s bloody terror attack on Israel, according to a criminal complaint.
ABC7 reported:
John Anthony Miller, 43, allegedly began making the calls to the unnamed female senator on Oct. 11, four days after Israel’s war with Hamas began. […] While the senator is not named in the complaint, Sen. Jacky Rosen is Jewish, and Miller’s threats repeatedly seek to tie the lawmaker’s support for Israel to what he says is her Jewish background.
Miller is accused of leaving a voicemail with Rosen’s office on October 17th, court documents said.
We've seen a lot of twisted reactions calling for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas, including protests like those in New York City, where people chanted in support of Hamas.

We saw an unbelievably awful response from the UN — that organization that's supposed to be about bringing people together — that showed again it's about anything but with a couple of its resolutions last week. The juxtaposition of the results of those resolutions was jarring. First, they failed to pass a resolution condemning the Hamas attack on Israel. So that couldn't get the two-thirds vote required to pass.
Lost in the swirl of events over the past three weeks, as well as the rapid pace of events in cases in multiple courts involving former President Trump, is the fact that he moved to dismiss the Washington D.C. case filed against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith based on a claim of “Presidential immunity” from criminal prosecution for acts while in office.
On October 19, 2023, Smith filed an Opposition to that motion. Much like the motion itself, the Opposition escaped scrutiny as it came around the same time Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro pled guilty – to what I’m still not certain – in the Georgia case,
After a University of California, Davis event Save Women's Sports spokeswoman Riley Gaines was scheduled to speak at in November was pulled from Eventbrite's website on grounds it violated their woke community guidelines and terms of service, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) is speaking out - and taking action.
Before we get to that, let's first take a look at the message Eventbrite sent informing the Davis College Republicans as to why the November 3rd event was removed from their site:
"We have determined that your event is not permitted on the Eventbrite marketplace as it violates our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, with which all users agree to comply.
Now that Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been elected as the Speaker of the House, you know that Democrats are desperately trying to dig up any kind of dirt that they can find on him. Democrats target anyone who might stand in the way of their power, so you know it's a good sign that they're having such a meltdown over Johnson.
But you know how hard up they must be with The Atlantic’s effort to attack Johnson. It’s pretty comical, truthfully. If this is all they can come up with, Democrats are going to spend a lot of time gnashing their teeth.
What have they come up with?

This Too Shall Pass

The antisemitic Left seems ascendant. The UN appears to be pro-Jihad. Even these terrible days will pass into something better.
There is a famous story about King Solomon, the wisest of all men. He asked a jeweler to fashion him a ring that would help him to keep his head straight at all times. The jeweler was overwhelmed by the task given him and did not know what to offer the king. With the deadline approaching, the jeweler made a gold ring engraved in Hebrew, “This too shall pass.” King Solomon was thrilled with the ring. When one finds himself in bad times, he must hold onto himself
They’re as predictable as the tides – the left-wing press and their push otherize anything not directly related to the progressive agenda. Republicans finally got their act together and elected a new Speaker of the House. Immediately after the vote came the long knives for Mike Johnson because he made the mistake of being a Republican.
If you’re wondering who Mike Johnson is, you’re not alone. His name is a bore at warm milk; he sounds like the guy who played linebacker on your high school football team, though you can’t be sure. I feel like if I really thought about it,

Iran has begun aggressive war games.
Turkey—a supposed NATO ally—pledged publicly to send its troops to Gaza.
Putin has invited Hamas and Iran to Moscow for private talks.
Netanyahu announces an expansion of Israel’s necessary defense, and the reaction intensifies support for the terrorists—not Israel.
In hundreds of major cities, hundreds of thousands of protestors chant slogans supporting the complete elimination of the State of Israel and Jewish people altogether.
In America, those chanting such things appear to far outnumber those in attendance at rallies supporting Israel.
Most Western governments have been decidedly silent on the matter. In America, while Biden has parroted the right ideas,
As a young man, I can remember getting caught reading a Playboy magazine and using the excuse that I was reading an article. Obviously, I was trying to imply that all of those pictures of naked voluptuous women didn’t interest me. Nobody bought my excuse then, and we shouldn’t buy Biden’s now.
Of course, there are major differences in our stories. I was a young guy with raging hormones trying to convince people that it was the written word that interested me and not the pictures. Biden is going in the opposite direction. He can no longer correctly interpret the written word and is now relying on the pictures of reporters
The hits just keep on coming exposing the Public Health™ lies.
Common sense might dictate that one not receive flu and COVID shots at the time same – yet that’s exactly the recommendation of the CDC.
It turns out common sense wins out over the CDC yet again. [Tweet]
Via ABC News (emphasis added):
Older adults who received last year’s COVID booster and a high-dose version of the flu vaccine in the same visit may have a potential increased risk of stroke, according to a new FDA-funded study.

In a recent no-holds-barred conversation with political commentator Joy Thayer, ex-Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), General Michael Flynn, unveiled a shocking narrative surrounding the moral integrity of certain members within the U.S. legislature.
He alleged that the hold of globalist agendas over these officials stems from compromising situations they find themselves in during official overseas trips.
He expressed his disdain for what he described as a “totally, completely broken” House of Representatives, which he alleges is under the thumbs of corporate lobbyists and globalists. According to Flynn, these external entities have managed to ensnare some legislators through compromising situations during Congressional Delegation (CODEL) trips overseas.
The Biden Administration became upset and threatened to quit supplying rifles to Israel after photos emerged of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir passing them out to “community security squads,” according to Haaretz.
Photos of the rifles being passed out were posted on Ben Gvir’s social media and “led to a diplomatic incident that threatened to stop the arms shipments from the United States to Israel.”
The Biden Administration reportedly does not want guns passed out to civilians nor distributed during “political events.”Haaretz noted, “The [Biden Administration] also threatened to halt an order of some 20,000 rifles purchased by the National Security Ministry from American suppliers.”

An Israeli strike on the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza caused many casualties, officials in the enclave said Tuesday.
The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Interior in Gaza reported that “20 homes were completely destroyed in the Israeli bombing that targeted a residential neighbourhood in Jabalya.”
The director of Gaza’s Indonesian hospital, Dr. Atef al-Kahlout, told CNN that “hundreds” of dead and injured people arrived at the hospital and “many are still under the rubble.” Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht confirmed to CNN that the Israeli military had launched the strike, and said it was targeting a senior commander from the Hamas militant group.
Joe and Dr. Jill on Monday hosted local public school children and military-connected kids for a Halloween party at the South Portico of the White House.
Biden showed up to the White House’s trick-or-treating festivities as himself – a creepy baby sniffer. (Photo) Dr. Jill told the children she was dressed as her cat Willow (she looked more like a rat).
Everything Jill Biden wears is tacky, tacky, tacky! She wore an ill-fitting dress with faux fur cuffs, tennis shoes, ears, face paint, and…. a tail. Yuck.
This weekend, hundreds of millions of Americans will dutifully set their clocks back one hour, convincing themselves that they’ve “gained” an hour – despite spending at least part of it resetting all their timepieces.
Americans should instead refuse to play along. Few government mandates combine such utter pointlessness and serious public health harms than the twice-a-year switch on and off Daylight Saving Time. It’s time to end the madness.
First, despite its label, “Daylight Saving Time” does not save daylight. It doesn’t even save energy. Two studies looked at energy use before and after changes in DST laws.
The Pentagon has announced plans for a new nuclear bomb 24 times as powerful as the one dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
It comes days after it emerged China plans to double its arsenal of nuclear warheads to over 1,000 by 2030.
America's proposed new B61-13 nuclear gravity bomb would be dropped from aircraft including the $692 million B-21 Raider stealth bomber, which is currently in development. Gravity bombs are unguided but the new one would have a tail kit helping with targeting and making it more accurate.
Nikki Haley is slowly rising in the Republican presidential primary polls. She put in good performances in the first two RNC debates and it is starting to pay off.
Haley and the other Republicans running in the primary have been slow to criticize Trump or draw sharp distinctions between his record and what they pledge to do in office. That’s a problem when the frontrunner, Trump, is so far ahead in the polls. Haley spoke out in Las Vegas on Saturday at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual summit. It’s a gathering for donors so if there is ever a good time to distinguish yourself as a candidate from the others
A top advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly admitted that corruption is so rampant in the wartorn former Soviet state that officials are “stealing like there’s no tomorrow”.
Speaking anonymously to Time magazine, what is alleged to be a top presidential advisor to Zelensky said that the Ukrainian government’s efforts to stamp out corruption have proved fruitless, given that they were implemented too late to have any impact, including the firing of Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov. “People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow,” the top advisor is said
Far left Rep. Pramila Jayapal is apparently worried that Biden’s expressed support for Israel may cost him the votes of some Arab and Muslim Americans in 2024.
She made the remarks during Meet the Press yesterday, when she also compared Israel’s response to the Hamas attack on Israel to Russia’s “seige of Ukraine.”
Members of the ‘Squad’ have really taken their masks off over the last two weeks. It’s ugly.
FOX News reports:Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., warned President Biden to be “careful” about his support for Israel on Sunday during an interview on NBC and said she needed to “call us to a higher moral place”
If you want an indicator of how lost Western civilization has become, go to your kids’ school and check their rules on fighting. Most likely, you’ll find out if two kids get into a fight, both get suspended, regardless of whether one was a punk bully who started it and the other was simply defending himself or some little kid. This is a moral disaster, of course – violence in the defense of what is right is a moral obligation and a symbol of a greater rot within society. This is the kind of rule created by middle-aged, divorced cat women who can neither find nor satisfy a man
“This machine cannot be stopped,” declared Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant earlier today. At the very least, Israel will not stop the IDF, now fully unleashed in Gaza, short of total victory. Instead, Gallant offered Hamas a different deal, which sounds remarkably like Hamas’ true ‘offer’ to the Israelis.
“Die or surrender” sums both up nicely, no? This is the same ‘deal’ that Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran have offered Israel for decades. It’s the same deal that the other Arab nations offered between 1947 and roughly 1979, too. For the last sixteen years, Israel has hoped that withdrawal from Gaza might moderate those enemies similarly as Egypt and Jordan moderated
Jewish students at Cornell University in upstate New York are reportedly hiding in their rooms after vile, anti-Semitic death threats were posted on a student message board. The campus kosher dining hall was singled out with a threat of a massacre. Police are reportedly on scene and the Cornell administration has issued a statement expressing concern. (Photo) The threats come two weeks after a Cornell professor was filmed praising the October 7 slaughter of Jews in Israel by Hamas: (X Video)
