A funny thing happened when Kamala Harris visited Texas
ROBERT HENNEKE
DECEMBER 06, 2023
The vice president came to Houston last week to tout the Biden administration’s record to Latinos. She had nothing to say about the border crisis or the economy. Voters noticed.
Trumpeting the Biden administration’s record to Latinos in Houston last week, Vice President Kamala Harris ignored the two biggest issues Hispanics — and everyone else in the Lone Star State — are facing today: wide-open borders and the failure of Bidenomics.

Texas Latinos weren’t impressed.

“Kamala Harris coming to Houston while continuing to ignore the crisis at our southern border is a slap in the face to every Texan, every American, and every Hispanic American in this country,” said former U.S. Rep. Mayra Flores.

It turns out that Hispanic voters are not so interested in government handouts, Ivy League radicalism, or free abortions on demand.

Why Nikki Haley would be a disastrous choice for the GOP
PAUL GOTTFRIED
DECEMBER 04, 2023
The former South Carolina governor’s candidacy and her support from the usual establishment suspects look like an attempt to derail the Republican Party’s populist turn.
It seems that former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is bounding ahead in a hypothetical matchup with Joe Biden. Although Haley has not been able to make significant headway against Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who is now polling over 60% as his party’s preferred presidential candidate in the primaries, Haley would beat Biden by the largest margin among active Republican candidates — possibly by as much as 10 points.

According to RealClearPolitics, unlike Haley, Trump is running ahead of Biden by only about four percentage points. Given all the negative publicity that our former president has incurred over the last six years and given the mountain of legal difficulties under which he is now pinned, thanks to Biden’s Justice Department, his chances for re-election may be less promising than they look currently.

Haley has been doing her publicity with massive assistance from the Republican-neoconservative establishment. The Wall Street Journal has all but endorsed her already. The New York Post and the rest of the Murdoch media empire can’t say enough nice things about her. In fact, they can’t mention her without lapsing into spasms of rapture while railing against Trump.

If Haley does win the nomination, it would leave an enormous number of Americans who identify themselves as populists without a political home.

I recently listened to a conversation on Fox News between former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Republican consultant Karl Rove. It was hard to tell which mood was more dominant in this animated conversation: profound loathing for Trump or blissful adoration of Haley. The two dispositions usually coexist in Haley’s fans, who view her as the top-drawer candidate for anti-Trump Republicans.

Dan McCarthy has described her as the “new John McCain” — a candidate who combines a circumspect, even equivocal position on most social issues with an unabashedly interventionist foreign policy. This is undoubtedly part of the reason Haley resonates with her constituency. All the same, her support from the corporate press as the “moderate” Republican could lead to a possible replay of McCain’s frustrated presidential bid.

The media could easily turn on Haley if she wins the GOP nomination, exactly as they did with her neocon precursor in 2008. The establishment’s interest here may be nothing more than using a “moderate” to move political discussions toward the left. Once Haley has served that purpose, the media will go after her as yet another “MAGA extremist.”

Even more ominously, Haley’s candidacy and her support from the usual suspects look like an attempt to derail the GOP’s populist turn. It is clearly aimed at undoing critical changes in our party politics that have occurred in the last few years and moving us back to something like the neoconservative ascendancy of the George W. Bush era.

The coup is being engineered with noticeable support from socially liberal business tycoons and Democratic donors who support a neocon foreign policy coupled with corporate tax cuts. (What else is new?) Haley’s campaign is starting to look like a takeover by wealthy members of the center left.

It's also hard not to notice that Haley has spent years giving herself a biographical and ideological makeover. Although she started out politically as a white Southern Evangelical of Indian ancestry, in recent years, she has dwelled on her traumatic youth as “a little brown girl” whose Sikh father wore a turban and tried to preserve his Indian identity. Haley also went from honoring her South Carolina background to more recently criticizing her one-time white neighbors as bigots. (Ironically, those white neighbors belonged to the group that gave her a majority of their votes.)

Haley also made a reputation for herself among the national media in 2015 when she signed a bill removing the Confederate battle flag from statehouse grounds in Columbia, presumably to make us all feel “more comfortable.” That, too, might have been a career move while Haley was positioning herself as a multicultural candidate who is big on “national defense” but who wants to dialogue with the left on divisive social questions.

If Haley does win the nomination, which still seems unlikely, it would leave an enormous number of Americans who identify themselves as populists without a political home. And it would be an attempted comeback by an establishment that was emphatically repudiated in 2016 but that still enjoys considerable media and financial clout.

As an added liability, this restoration seems to depend more and more on voters from the left who are joining the Republican establishment and its media boosters in promoting a “moderate” candidate. One doesn’t have to like Donald Trump (and I personally don’t) to know this game could end badly.

Trump is clearly favored by the majority of his party. Even if this situation changed, the populist direction of his party would be fixed. Efforts to undo that development by pushing a candidate who doesn’t line up with most of the party base seems like a recipe for disaster. Perhaps Haley’s fans could be persuaded to start their own party and stop trying to outmaneuver the Republican base.d=true

'Israel spies' killed and strung up on electrical pole as mob in West Bank cheers
COLLIN JONES
NOVEMBER 26, 2023
There were two men accused of spying for Israel who were killed in the West Bank on Friday night, and their bodies were apparently dragged through alleyways before being strung up from a pylon by a raving mob.

The two men were fatally shot in the city of Tulkarm by armed Palestinian groups. One Palestinian journalist who anonymously provided details about the incident said the two men were stomped on before being hung up from an electrical tower, according to the Telegraph.
After the men were hung up, they were reportedly dumped in a waste container.

'Abhorrent and disgusting': Trump advisor Roger Stone accused of attacking wife of Ron DeSantis with offensive slur
PAUL SACCA
NOVEMBER 25, 2023
Roger Stone – a longtime advisor of former President Donald Trump – seemed to lash out at Casey DeSantis – wife of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Stone appeared to attack Casey DeSantis for mentioning her children on the campaign trail for her husband, and seemed to use a slur widely regarded as one of the most offensive words.
Stone responded to a tweet from Mike Crispi – a Republican candidate who lost in the GOP primary in 2022 to represent New Jersey's 4th Congressional District.
"Casey Desantis campaigning: 'I have a 6, 5 and a 3 year old' 'I have a 6, 5 and a 3 year old' 'I have a 6, 5 and a 3 year old' 'I have a 6, 5 and a 3 year old' 'Did you know I have a 6, 5 and a 3 year old?'" Crispi wrote on the X social media platform.
Crispi was responding to a social media post by Casey declaring that her husband is "earning every vote," and featured a photo of her and her young daughter on the campaign trail.

Disney admits culture wars inflicted major impacts across the board, warns investors that company's wokeness presents risks
The Walt Disney Company recently admitted that wokeness and culture wars have had major impacts across the board on the multinational entertainment and media conglomerate.
Last week, the Walt Disney Company filed its annual financial report with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30. The report detailed the performance of the variety of its properties for the last fiscal year as well as potential future risks for the worldwide entertainment company.

The SEC filing revealed that Disney employs roughly 225,000 workers worldwide. The company notes that it has a "key human capital management objective" of "making the workplace more engaging and inclusive" and creating a more "diverse workforce."

Disney's "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" objectives include "building teams that reflect the life experiences of our audiences, while employing and supporting a diverse array of voices in our creative and production teams."

Congress must investigate the traitorous Antony Blinken
MARK LEVIN
NOVEMBER 27, 2023
The secretary of state is driving the agenda in the Middle East, continuing to rearm Iran, prop up Palestinian terrorism, sabotage Israel’s war effort, and deceive the American people.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is a despicable con artist who is organizing Arab and European countries, along with the United Nations, around the backs of our Congress and Israel to carve up the Jewish state and gift the Palestinians massive swaths of Israel’s country, including Judea and Samaria. That is his response to the Palestinians’ murderous slaughter of Israelis!

Blinken is using Israel’s need for weapons to threaten and blackmail Israel diplomatically and impose his policies and will. Utterly contemptible.

This is not how foreign policy is conducted — as a weapon against our great ally in the middle of a war.

Blinken is driving the Barack Obama-Thomas Friedman agenda in the Middle East, continuing to rearm Iran, prop up Palestinian terrorism in Gaza and the West Bank, sabotage Israel’s war effort, and deceive the American people.

Blinken is a dangerous ideologue and a stupid man, as John McCain warned years ago. He is obsessed and unrestrained. He was also the architect of America’s disastrous and deadly surrender in Afghanistan but has no capacity for circumspection or recalculation. He’s a committed ideologue.

Blinken is an American Marxist who appointed an Iran-supporting stooge and longtime friend, Robert Malley, to negotiate with Tehran. Malley is now under federal investigation and has already lost his security clearance. Indeed, the fact that the Biden administration introduced an Iranian spy ring into our government is either underreported or totally ignored. It makes the Alger Hiss case look like small potatoes.

It’s no surprise that this administration has no plan or has made no actual effort to stop Iran from finishing its nuclear missile project. This is the greatest scandal of our times, with unimaginable ramifications.

Yet again, I’m calling on congressional Republicans and any patriots with a platform and voice to speak out and demand answers and accountability.

BBC confronts its own journalist over false reporting about Gaza hospital strike — and a stunning response follows

A journalist who helped fan the flames of misinformation about the alleged Al-Ahli Arab Hospital strike is refusing to apologize for his mistake.After a jihadist rocket fell on the parking lot of the hospital last month, the legacy media uncritically regurgitated Hamas' claim that Israel struck the hospital, totally destroying it and killing more than 500 people.

BBC international editor Jeremy Bowen is one such journalist who joined the chorus claiming the hospital was destroyed. He reported:

The missile hit the hospital not long after dark. You can hear the impact. The explosion destroyed Al-Ahli Hospital. It was already damaged from a smaller attack at the weekend. The building was flattened.
In a recent interview on the BBC's "Behind the Stories" program, Bowen was asked if he regrets his false reporting.

"To answer your question: No, I don't regret one thing in my reporting because I think I was measured throughout. I didn't race to judgment," Bowen answered.


But the interviewer pushed back, confronting Bowen with the fact that his reporting was incorrect. Stunningly, Bowen not only defended himself but justified his failure to use the basic tenets of journalism, like verifying claims before reporting them.

"But you said that building had been flattened," the interviewer told Bowen.

"Oh, yeah. Well, I got that wrong because I was looking at the pictures, and what I could see was a square that appeared to be flaming on all sides. And there was a sort of a void in the middle. And it was, I think it was a picture taken from a drone. And so, you know, we have to piece together what we see. And I thought, 'Well, it looks like whole building's gone." And that was my conclusion from looking at the pictures. And I was wrong on that," he admitted.

"But I don't feel particularly bad about that," Bowen boasted.

While Bowen has no regrets, his employer certainly does. Several days after Bowen's report, the BBC issued a correction and an apology for speculating that Israel was responsible for the strike, which neither flattened the hospital nor killed the number of people that Hamas claimed.

All throughout the modern history of Israel – the hand of God in rescuing the remnant from the gas chambers and the death camps in Europe; the hand of God in bringing them back to a land that once was a barren wasteland and now is one of the most fertile grounds in the world; the hand of God in reviving the old forgotten Hebrew language as the only mean of communication between people that come from more than 80 different diasporas; the hand of God in making sure that the efforts to destroy the newborn state will fail.

God’s hand was all throughout the history of Israel as a newborn state, and for the past more than 66 years, God is there. The Bible says that, “He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” The people of Israel are strong and resilient. The people of Israel have seen the great hand of God in protecting and providing everything they needed. And we’re holding onto the promise that God gave to Israel through the prophet Amos his book’s ninth chapter. “‘And I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; they shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land that I have given them,’ says the Lord your God. Amen.”

https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/antony-blinkens-plot-to-destroy-israel-exposed?
The Obama-Biden-Blinken “realignment” is well under way, and the consequences are dire for Israel and the United States — and indeed for the rest of the world.
It is now crystal clear that Secretary of State Antony Blinken is exploiting the Iranian-backed Hamas war to destroy the existing state of Israel through the use of threats, blackmail, leaks, the media, diplomatic backstabbing, the Arab states, the European Union, and the United Nations.

In a State Department memo dated Monday, November 13, Blinken explained America’s posture toward the Arabs in Gaza. It’s madness. He wrote:

As I said in private and in public, we believe Palestinian people's voices and aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza. We believe in Palestinian-led governance of Gaza, with Gaza unified with the West Bank. Gaza's reconstruction must be supported with a sustained mechanism.

We also underscored America's firm opposition to actions that would undermine efforts to build lasting peace and security. No forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians from Gaza - not now, not after the fighting stops. No reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict. No attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza. No reduction in the territory of Gaza. No use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism or other violent attacks, and no tolerating the use of the West Bank to carry out such attacks. No more violence from extremist settlers in the West Bank.

These steps are not ends in themselves. They must lead to Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in states of their own, with equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity, and dignity. That’s not something we can put off discussing until after this crisis is over. This discussion must happen now.
This also explains the current pressure campaign by leftists in Israel to try to topple the Netanyahu-led conservative government and replace it with radical left-wing parties that will deliver Israel to the effective control of the U.S. State Department, where Blinken, a mere appointed Cabinet secretary, will determine Israel's fate.

Israel will not survive the Blinken plan — certainly not for long. This has been the plan for Israel since Barack Obama was president, when Blinken was deputy secretary of state. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) was 100% right when he went to the Senate floor to excoriate Blinken and refused to support his confirmation.

Blinken, the Biden whisperer, is behind pouring $100 billion into rearming Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen. Blinken set the Middle East on fire immediately upon taking office nearly three years ago. He has lifted or refused to enforce virtually every sanction on Iran. Blinken destroyed the popular uprising against the ayatollahs, when the Iranians sought to remove their murderous regime, by backing Tehran over its people.

Worse, Blinken chose Robert Malley, a Marxist supporter of Iran, as the U.S. envoy to negotiate another nuclear deal. And what did Malley do? He installed a high-level Iranian spy ring in D.C. and undermined our nation (and Israel) at every turn.

The Obama-Biden-Blinken “realignment” is well under way, and the consequences are dire for Israel and the United States — and indeed for the entire Middle East and the world. It is a hideous and diabolical plan, being instituted right now without any transparency, involvement from Congress, or the knowledge and consent of the American people. It is the brainchild of a small cabal of rogue, radical left-wing foreign policy arsonists who could easily trigger World War III.

The question is: How long will this go on before Blinken is stopped? Where are the House Republican committee chairmen? Where are the Senate Republicans? Where are conservative think tanks? Where are the conservative media? (This publication excepted, of course.)

I understand that the left-wing corporate media and the Democratic Party are worse than useless. In fact, they are propagandists for this administration’s malign policies, from Thomas Friedman at the New York Times to Jamie Raskin in the House of Representatives.

Washington Post columnist defends ex-CNN photojournalist who allegedly carried grenade for Hamas terrorists
JOSEPH MACKINNON
NOVEMBER 10, 2023
AWashington Post columnist raised eyebrows Thursday when she rushed to defend the now-fired CNN photojournalist who allegedly carried war materiel for Hamas terrorists while effectively serving as their massacre videographer.

Megan McArdle went so far as to suggest in her defense of the Hamas-kissed photojournalist that she too might have held a grenade for terrorists if they'd been giving her a ride.

What's the background?
Israeli media watchdog HonestReporting revealed Wednesday that Hamas terrorists had some of their crimes against humanity captured in real time on film by Gaza-based photojournalists who had worked with mainstream outlets, such as the Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, and the New York Times. HonestReporting asked whether the journalists had coordinated with the terrorists and whether Western media outlets had signed off on their contributors embedding with Hamas.

The report named a number of photojournalists who appear to have been especially cozy with the terrorists, including Hassan Eslaiah, who served as a freelancer for CNN up until Thursday.

While a number of the Gaza-based photojournalists seemed to know just where to be and when to be there in order to capture photos of Israeli victims and Hamas destruction, Eslaiah's proximity stood out in the report.

HonestReporting indicated that Eslaiah posted now-deleted tweets with photos showing him in front of a recently destroyed Israeli tank without a press vest or markings to distinguish himself from the terrorists. While this may not have been enough to conclude that he was ethically compromised as a journalist, additional pictures emerged casting doubt on his journalistic distance from Hamas, including an image of Eslaiah being smooched by the terrorist mastermind of the Oct. 7 attacks.

In the hours following our expose, new material is still coming to light concerning Gazan freelance journalist Hassan Eslaiah whom both AP & CNN used on Oct. 7.
Here he is pictured with Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct. 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar.

Ben Shapiro’s two-word question is the PERFECT response to 'free Palestine'
BLAZETV STAFF
NOVEMBER 07, 2023
While the students who debate Ben Shapiro are typically indoctrinated with woke ideology, you have to at least give them some credit for their boldness. It takes some courage to challenge one of the most well-read, articulate men alive. These kinds of Shapiro vs. progressive student debates usually end quickly, as it takes Shapiro mere seconds to dismantle his opponent’s argument.
In this case, a two-word question was all it took to put a pro-Palestinian student to shame.
Dave Rubin plays the clip of the interaction.

“You can't take the benefits [of capitalism] and then reject the downsides; I don't think it works that way,” Shapiro said.

“Thank you, and free Palestine,” the student responded.

“Which part?” Shapiro brilliantly asked.
“I’m not going to comment on that,” the student said.

But she wasn’t going to get off that easily.
“I saw you say 'from ‘the river to the sea,’ so you can just say it out loud,” Shapiro pressed.
“Yeah – from the river to the sea,” she retorted.

“I appreciate the idea that the Jewish state should be wiped completely off the map, with the concomitant loss of life,” Shapiro sarcastically remarked, “but we're worried about climate change and the humanitarian aspects of climate change over the course of the next 100 years – sure, okay.”
Ouch.
“She doesn't know what she's saying,” sighs Dave Rubin, admitting that he sympathizes “with these kids whose brains have been so obliterated.”

“What you want to do is kill 8 million Jews in the Middle East?” he asks. “And you'd probably have to kill about 2 million Arab Israelis who are peacefully living there as well.”

Young black voter leaves CNN host slack-jawed over what he says about Biden's 2024 campaign: 'My jaw literally dropped'

CNN host Phil Mattingly admitted Friday that his jaw "literally dropped" after hearing a young black voter admit that he doesn't know if he will vote for President Joe Biden in 2024.CNN anchor John King recently traveled to Milwaukee where he gauged the pulse of the black community there. What he discovered, according to him, is a "giant problem" for Biden's re-election hopes.
One Milwaukee voter, Davette Bake, told King that he "love[s] Joe" but graded Biden's presidency a four on a scale of 1 to 10. Another voter, Joanna Brookes, expressed concern that the Democratic Party takes black people for granted.

NPR runs pro-witchcraft piece – The occult today is 'as trendy and as helpful as veganism or yoga'
BLAZETV STAFF
NOVEMBER 01, 2023
“This may surprise you,” says Glenn Beck sarcastically, but “witches are real” and they’re “liberal politically.”

NPR recently ran what Glenn calls “a fluff piece” on witches and the religion of witchcraft.

“Witches have long cast a spell on American entertainment, but they aren’t just a figment of our imagination. Witchcraft is a real practice, and people who practice witchcraft are all around you,” the NPR segment began.

The show goes on to interview American writer Diana Helmuth, who devoted a year of her life to exploring witchcraft.

It was “month seven before I tried to make a connection with the goddess,” whether she is “a real deity up in the sky” or “a metaphor for the interconnectedness of everything on Earth,” Helmuth explained.

“So I go and I set up this ritual to try and talk to a particular goddess,” and after “sitting in front of an altar that I made” for “about an hour, something happened – I just suddenly felt flooded with bliss,” she recounted.

“My initial reaction to this NPR story was a little eye-rolling,” admits Glenn. “Of course, NPR is on the side with witches.”

However, it’s also quite scary. “There are supposedly, according to NPR, more witches than Presbyterians,” says Glenn, and “USA Today claims … that ‘hip witchcraft’ is on the rise in the U.S.”

“You’ll find articles on witchcraft all throughout the liberal media,” says Glenn, but unlike the past, when people knew terms like "the occult" meant bad news, today’s society seems to be fascinated with the world of witchcraft.

It shouldn’t surprise you to find out that people who practice witchcraft usually run in the woke crowd.
“Witchcraft is especially popular among … transgender activists,” says Glenn, citing an academic article. He quotes:

‘Contemporary paganism portrays gender in an array of different ways and, as such, is very inclusive of sexual diversity. Much of this phenomena happens through what pagans call witchcraft. But how does witchcraft help queer and transgender pagans take part in the pagan community?”

“I looked it up,” says Glenn, and according to online sources, “witchcraft [is] an inclusive movement,” which “is seeing a resurgence among queer-identified young people seeking a powerful identity that celebrates the freedom to choose who you are.”

“Here’s what unites all of them – witches, leftists, transgender activists, NPR, the liberal media,” explains Glenn. They’re “fighting for relevance … they pester, they annoy, they shock or try to shock, in a bid to get attention,” but they “lose their power when people stop watching them or stop caring.

Speaker Mike Johnson fights back after liberals attack his Christian faith, compare him to terrorists
CHRIS ENLOE
NOVEMBER 01, 2023
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) responded on Tuesday to liberal critics who have personally attacked him for being an unapologetic Christian.
What is the background?
After winning the speakership last week, Johnson told Fox News host Sean Hannity that his Christian faith is central to his personal identity.

I am a Bible-believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, "It's curious, people are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?" I said, "Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it — that's my worldview." That's what I believe, and so I make no apologies for it.
The comments set off a flurry of disgusting attacks against Johnson and his faith.

Bill Maher, for example, compared him to the mass killer who murdered 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, last month. MSNBC host Jen Psaki labeled Johnson a "religious fundamentalist" and mocked his faith, while the Daily Beast compared Johnson to the "Taliban and the mullahs in Iran," claiming Johnson wants to "institutionalize" his Christian faith.

How did Johnson respond?
Speaking with Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, Johnson condemned the personal attacks on his faith as "disgusting" and absurd."

"Our religion is based on love and acceptance," Johnson pointed out. "So to compare that worldview with the Taliban, who seek to destroy their enemies, or with, you know, some deranged shooter who murders people is absolutely outrageous.

"And I think everyone who follows and believes in a Judeo-Christian worldview should be just terribly offended by that," he said.

Johnson acknowledged that character attacks come with his job and said he's willing to "take the arrows."

"But what really hurts me," he continued, "is that it really is a statement about everyone who believes in this that the country was built upon. Our Judeo-Christian foundation is the heritage of our country."

Importantly, Johnson also dispelled the accusation that he wants to institutionalize Christianity or establish it as the national religion.

"I just wish they would get to know me. I'm not trying to establish Christianity as the national religion or something," he said.

"If you truly believe in the Bible's commands and you seek to follow those, it is impossible to be a hateful person, because the greatest command in the Bible is that you love God with everything you have and you love your neighbor as yourself."

2 killed, 18 injured during Halloween celebrations in Tampa
COLLIN JONES
OCTOBER 29, 2023
Ashooting broke out in Tampa, Florida, after two groups started fighting in the midst of hundreds of people during Halloween celebrations on Sunday. Two were killed and at least 18 people were injured during the altercation.

The shooting reportedly took place just before 3:00 a.m. around a strip of clubs and bars in the 1600 block of East 7th Avenue, according to Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw, per WFLX.


Bercaw stated that the incident "was a disturbance or a fight between two groups."

"And in this fight between two groups, we had hundreds of innocent people involved that were in the way," he added.

Videos were posted online of the incident, where people dressed in Halloween costumes can be seen drinking and talking when shots ring out, which ultimately led to people running away to safety.

Some of those in attendance can be seen tipping tables over and taking cover behind them. Shortly after the incident, videos showed police officers tending those injured in the incident.

There were already police officers on the scene when the shooting began, but no personnel were injured during the conflict, according to the New York Post.

“We’re asking anybody that was out there that has video — and we know there are some out there cause we’ve seen them on social media — anybody that has video of this, to please report it to us,” Bercaw stated. “Call our non-emergency line at 813-231-6130.”
There was at least one individual involved in the shooting who surrendered to the authorities and taken into custody. But there is at least one other shooter who has not been caught.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) blew a gasket on Friday after a reporter confronted her and her far-left Democratic colleagues with the truth about Hamas' savage attack on Israel.

Five Democratic lawmakers — Omar and Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Greg Casar (D-Texas), Summer Lee (D-Pa.), and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) — held a press conference on Capitol Hill demanding a ceasefire in Israel and Gaza.

Hamas militants tortured, mutilated Israeli parents and children before killing them, emergency responder says

An emergency responder in Israel claimed that he and his team recovered a number of mutilated bodies belonging to a single family that were killed during Hamas' brutal attacks against the Jewish state. But before they were killed, the terrorists apparently ate a meal the family had prepared for a Jewish holiday.

Yossi Landau, the head of Zaka, recently stated that Hamas had bound the family and tortured them before they were eventually killed. Zaka is Israel's emergency response organization that was responsible for addressing the horrific scene, per Business Insider.

Landau described the scene he came upon, suggesting that there was a father, mother, and two children, aged and six and seven years old. All four of them were on their knees, with their hands tied behind their backs.
He said "[t]he bodies were tortured" before going into detail about the situation he saw. Landau noted that this was not just a killing, but that the family was tortured before they were eventually killed. He also said that he believes family members would have been forced to watch the others being tortured right in front of them, saying, "Fingers being... Fingers being," he said, reportedly holding back tears, according to the report.

"All this happened, and by the end they all had a bullet," he said.

Hamas' attack against Israel was kicked off on October 7, when a number of terrorists launched a surprise attack on the Jewish state, as well as killing and abducting a number of attendees at an outdoor music festival.

"They ate this meal while torturing these children," Landau said.

Landau spoke with CNN about the brutal scene he witnessed at Kibbutz Be'eri — which was at the center of Hamas' attack against the Jewish state on October 7. During the attack, there were more than 100 men, women, and children killed.

However, Landau went on to describe how there was a teenage girl recovered who had been naked and bound and eventually beheaded. There were also at least 20 people who were burned alive, and then there was a pregnant mother who had been mutilated.

Business Insider reported that the immense task of identifying those who have died and the circumstances of the death have fallen to military forensic teams in Israel. The Jewish state has carried out an ongoing attack against Hamas following the gruesome attack earlier this month, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming that it is a war.

The attack Hamas carried out has been referred to as "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" by the terrorist group's top leadership. During the attack, there were approximately 1,400 Israelis killed in total. It is also believed that Hamas took a total of 200 hostages to Gaza.

In response, Israel has carried out massive attacks against Palestinians, killing more than 3,000. They are also apparently planning a ground invasion of Gaza, but the details of the attack are still not clear.

Trudeau's Liberal Party blocks bill that would have prevented Canada from euthanizing the mentally ill: 'An indelible stain'

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party voted down a bill Wednesday that would have barred the state from euthanizing mentally ill Canadians. There is little now standing in the way of those with mental disorders, including the depressed whose suicidal ideation is likely a symptom, having the state put them down starting March 17, 2024.
Conservative lawmaker Ed Fast's private members bill C-314 would have amended Canada's Criminal Code to "provide that a mental disorder is not a grievous and irremediable medical condition for which a person could receive medical assistance in dying."

Sen. Fetterman asks key question about Tlaib, Omar rushing to believe Hamas propaganda about hospital strike: 'Truly disturbing'

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) provided Democrats with a voice of moral clarity on Wednesday when he called out lawmakers who blamed Israel for the bombing of the the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza.After Hamas authorities blamed Israel for bombing the hospital and killing more than 500 people — claims we now know were lies — Re ...
Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) rushed to regurgitate the claims despite possessing no evidence verifying them.

"Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that," Tlaib claimed.


Omar said, "Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific."

Fetterman responded to his Democratic colleagues — though without naming them — by probing the motive behind their rush to judgment.

"It's truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza," Fetterman said.

They don’t want you to see this … Big Tech does its best to limit what news you see. Make sure you see our stories daily — directly to your inbox.
"Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?" he asked.

— (@)
Fetterman raises an important question.

Democrats love to scream about "misinformation," so why exactly did Tlaib and Omar lack the discipline to wait for the facts about what happened rather than believe Hamas' claims without second thought? More importantly, what does their rush to judgement say about their character and their ability to govern as members of Congress?

Omar has since retracted her claims, while Tlaib doubled down and dodged questions about the truth.

Meanwhile, legacy media apologist and former CNN host Brian Stelter ripped the media for pushing Hamas' propaganda about the hospital strike.

"There is no defense here," Stelter said. "This was an atrocious series of mistakes by many different major newsrooms all around the same time on Tuesday, and unfortunately I don’t think there’s been enough follow-up or accountability to make sure it doesn’t happen again."

He added, "War is already hell; it should not be made worse by misreporting, but I fear that on Tuesday the media made a bad situation worse. They actually did harm as opposed to trying to do the opposite."
