Is the Supreme Court gaslighting us?  

By John Green, AM THINKER

George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley has posited that recent unanimous Supreme Court rulings may be the Court sending a message to politicians.  Facing threats to pack the Supreme Court and calls for Justice Stephen Breyer to resign, Turley believes that the Court is making a rare show of unity.  Apparently, the logic is that if they show they’re not ideological (I know, don’t laugh), the Democrats will understand that packing the Court won’t make any difference.  They’re trying to validate Chief Justice John Roberts’s claim that there are no “Obama judges” or “Trump judges.”

There’s just one problem: the Supreme Court is both political and ideological, and everyone knows it.  Trying to gaslight everyone now is asking us to ignore fifty years of bad behavior.  Good luck with that.

Federal Protection of “Oath Keepers” Kingpin Stewart Rhodes Breaks The Entire Capitol “Insurrection” Lie Wide Open  

REVOLVER

Hey Republicans, you can crack open the entire story of January 6, 2021 (“1/6”) with one simple question: what relationship do the FBI and Army Counterintelligence have with Stewart Rhodes?

Yale Law School ‘04 graduate Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes, III. Stewart Rhodes is the founder, boss and kingpin of the Oath Keepers.

The Oath Keepers, we are told, are America’s largest militia, the most prominent antigovernment group in the United States, and the preeminent right-wing domestic extremist insider threat to the entire U.S. military.

Why are liberal Jews still covering for Ilhan Omar?  

The latest trolling of the Jews by the Minnesota congresswoman exposes the failure of many Jewish groups and Democrats to prioritize the fight against anti-Semitism over their partisan affiliations.

By Jonathan S. Tobin, JNS

The interesting thing about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) isn’t that she can’t stop trolling American Jews, the pro-Israel community and even her Jewish colleagues in the House Democratic caucus. Omar has demonstrated again and again that she is a dedicated ideologue who is committed to anti-Zionist politics and never shy about employing anti-Semitic tropes to advance that cause.

The really interesting thing about her is why so many liberal Jews, Jewish organizations and even Jewish members of Congress are not only afraid to stand up to her, but often bend over backwards to rationalize or justify her outrageous behavior. Yet this explains a great deal about how a largely dysfunctional organized Jewish world has failed to respond effectively to a surge of anti-Semitism emanating from the left-wing of the Democratic Party.

French Style Reign of Terror has Started in America  

By Andrew Wallace, NEWS WITH VIEWS

You should be afraid, very afraid because you could lose everything of value, your life, your freedom and the food to feed your family. Forget all government assistance, it will no longer exist. Since public schools and media in the inner city plantations  are worthless I must give those residents some historical  context.

Working people have always been exploited by the so called nobility. Today, they are the super rich who acquired their wealth by business genius, luck, inheritance or crime. Our founders came to America to escape life in Europe, now our cities are Europe. The Bank of England and the nobility  tried to maintain  an economic advantage over the colonies just like they did over the English people. This led to American Revolution in 1775.

Defund the FBI   

Republicans need to abandon their longtime, reflexive  loyalty to the FBI.

By Julie Kelly, AM GREATNESS

It’s been a gold star week for the men and women of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Nearly six months after the events of January 6, the FBI, under the direction of Joe Biden’s vengeful Justice Department, is accelerating the nationwide manhunt for anyone involved. Since June 23, agents have arrested 17 people from Florida to California. Charges range from assaulting police officers and criminal trespassing to something called “destruction of property in special maritime and territorial jurisdiction and aiding and abetting.”

A Modest Proposal  

by Tabitha Korol

I have often wondered about people who express themselves under cover of anonymity.  I suspect that despite the bravado to support his vulgarity, he prefers secrecy lest he be recognized by family and friends.  He is properly deserving of shame.  He suggests that an incredible evil befall the world.

In response to my essay, “Endangered Species,” I received a reply from someone signed Kelvin Throop, who is R.A.J. Phillips’s literary character known for his acerbic memos.  His/her identity, therefore, remains anonymous.  And no wonder, inasmuch as s(he) expresses a theory for settling the strife in the Middle East that is taken from the worst inhumanity of Islam and Hitler’s fascism.  It is presented as an objective, modest proposal of conveniently disappearing an entire people.

SCOTUS decision on Arizona voter rules could mean trouble for DOJ suit against Georgia  

“There’s a difference between not liking a law and finding it to legitimately be in violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act,” said Alan Dershowitz.

By Sophie Mann, JUST THE NEWS

Supreme Court ruling upholding Arizona voting restrictions could spell trouble for a legal challenge by U.S Attorney General Merrick Garland to a new Georgia election integrity law.

The court ruled Thursday in a 6-3 vote that a set of Arizona voting rules do not violate federal law. Breaking along conservative-liberal ideological lines, the court found that the state’s voting policies were not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose that would have violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Israel’s High-Powered Laser System a ‘Breakthrough’  

Israel’s enemies should be very afraid.

By Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM


Israel has once again reminded us that we should thank our lucky stars that the Jewish state is on our side. In the “What Have You Done For Us Lately” Department, Israel has just completed tests of its new high-power laser system that, installed on a civilian aircraft, can shoot down drones. It promises to be what is called a game-changer. The story of this remarkable advance is here: “Israel successfully downs targets using airborne laser system,” by Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, June 21, 2021:

Identity and Reality  

By Victor Rosenthal

This morning I picked up a book from my philosophy student days, “Identity and Reality,” by Emile Meyerson. It’s a book about the metaphysical foundations of science, but the title inspired me.

Everyone has an identity in the sense of their answer to the question “what are you?” Almost everyone has a need to find, adopt, or construct an answer. Often it’s a list of things: a mother, a Jew, a football fan, a plumber, and so on. Recently “gender identity” has been added.

Debunking the lies that Jews Stole Arab Land?  

By Alex Grobman, PhD , JEWISH LINK

During Operation Guardian of the Walls, Hamas accused Israel of being the aggressor, even though during the 11 days of the conflict, they launched more than 4,360 rockets at Israeli population centers. Aside from wanting to slaughter and maim as many Jews as possible, Hamas sought to demoralize Israelis and convince them that their country is unjust and morally bankrupt. The late Edward Said, a pro-Palestinian Arab activist and a professor at Columbia University, accused the Zionists of being responsible for Palestinian Arabs becoming victims of Zionism, destroying their society, stealing their land, and forcing them into a dreadful exile.

Debating Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and Colchicine  

By Justus R. Hope, MD, THE DESERT REVIEW

Colchicine had been a Godsend drug to millions of gout sufferers worldwide – until the FDA stepped in and restricted its use. Colchicine, derived from the flowering autumn crocus plant, has been used since 1500 BC to treat joint swelling with exceptional pain-relieving properties. Like many natural gifts from God, like Ivermectin, this medication was regulated away from access to many in 2009 by the FDA.

‘CDC overwhelmed with vaccine adverse effect reports’  

Dr. Peter McCullough notes to Fox News massive increase in vaccine adverse effects reported in US following COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

ARUTZ SHEVA

The US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is “overwhelmed” with reports of vaccine adverse effects in the wake of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough last week told Laura Ingraham on Fox News.

Asked to address the possibility of underreporting of COVID-19 vaccine-related “cardiac complications,” McCullough said he thought the CDC was “overwhelmed” by the massive increase in reports of vaccine adverse events.

“The CDC every year with all the vaccines combined get about 16,000 safety reports and about 25 deaths reported to the VAERS system. So far with COVID-19 they’ve received over 300,000 safety reports, over 6,000 deaths, nearly 20,000 hospitalizations, I think they’re completely overwhelmed,” he assessed.

Trump calls out Barr and McConnell  

TIERNEY NEWS

President Trump said Jon Karl’s story in the Atlantic about Bill Barr is fake news:

TRUMP:

“I lost confidence in Bill Barr long before the 2020 Presidential Election Scam. It was when he dismissed and didn’t act on the very powerful Horowitz Report, and instead gave everything over to John Durham, who has seemingly disappeared from the planet.”

“AG Barr wouldn’t go against his friends in Washington, D.C. Barr was a “swamp creature” who was devastated when the Radical Left wanted to impeach him. RINOs always fold. It takes a very strong and special person to go against the “mob”. Bill Barr was not that person. Despite evidence of tremendous Election Fraud, he just didn’t want to go there. He was afraid, weak, and pathetic.”

Rebuild Gaza — why?  

T. Belman. Miller is absolutely right. But he leaves out the questions, why did Biden pressure Israel to accept an early ceasefire and why is Biden rushing to rebuild Gaza. The answer I think is that he wanted either to placate the extreme left in his party and to protect Hamas or both. In protecting Hamas, he is protecting an Iranian proxy and thus striving for brownie points in his negotiations with Iran.. Perhaps he only did it to keep Israel weak.

By Abraham H. Miller, AM THINKER

Nearly anyone who follows events in the Middle East believes that the ceasefire imposed on Israel by the Biden administration won’t last more than three or four years, if that long, before Hamas’s Iranian rockets are once again launched from Gaza.

So, why should America be on the hook for rebuilding Gaza when Hamas’s next round of indiscriminate rocket attacks and Israel’s response with tactical air strikes is inevitable?

The Left Has Folded. In Battle Against Illegal Settlement, Gantz Finds Himself Alone  

Defense Minister Gantz wants to set red lines at the outset of the government, in which he is somewhat a fifth wheel

After another day of deliberations, on Tuesday night, the settlers of the illegal Evyatar outpost agreed to the wording of a compromise with the Israeli government that reflects most of their ambitions. As part of the proposal, the settlers waived the demand they raised during negotiations that a yeshiva be established in the outpost as early as August, in order to maintain a continuous civilian presence at the site even after the evacuation. It has now been agreed that the yeshiva will be established only after the state determines the land’s legal status.

Forget About Making Peace with the Islamic World  

By Victor Sharpe, AM THINKER

The great humorist, Jerome K. Jerome, suggested many years ago that, “… we all love peace, but not peace at any price.”

Peace is only a reality between states that are rational and can in time become friendly towards each other. Today leftists and all those who shout out the vacuous phrase, “peace and justice,” have turned those once noble words into soiled and tarnished rags.

They have become the very folk who, through one of life’s supreme ironies, shout down dissenting voices and thus become guilty of the very violent behavior they claim to oppose. The universities and colleges have become hotbeds of radicalized students who chant slogans of peace and justice yet howl down invited speakers with whom they disagree. Free speech withers on today’s university campus while tenured professors, smiling indulgently, espouse the monolithic message of the Left, which tolerates no disagreement.

A Tsunami of Crises About to Swamp Biden Administration  

By Conrad Black, EPOCH TIMES

[…]

In service to that credo, from Inauguration Day, they have taken the position that they would do the reverse of anything Trump did: outright reaction unsupported by any analysis. Nothing else is conceivable as an explanation for their southern border policy.

As Vice President Kamala Harris checked the box by going to El Paso, Texas, 800 miles away from the more agitated areas of illegal southern entry last week, she repeated the mantra that this administration inherited a mess. The polls are unanimous in indicating that the public realizes they didn’t inherit a mess; they inherited the almost complete end of illegal immigration and they squandered it instantly and jubilantly by effectively inviting the world to enter, while having the hapless Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeat like a Disney World self-propelled puppet “The border is closed.”
