As we continue to await an official casualty count because of the federal government shutdown, predicted to be in the millions by such distended grapefruits in a mesh bag dragging on the sidewalk bescrotumed decrepit momzers as Bernie Sanders, himself a cheerleader of mass death as his fellow commies in a little over a century racked up well over 100 million, and still counting.
And he has the unmitigated cutzpocritical gall after all the death, misery, dislocation, dissolution and waste of life, wealth and potential at the hands of the DemoKKKrats to declare
. . . President Donald Trump’s second term has become “the worst crisis in America literally since the Civil War.” . . we are living in an unprecedentedly dangerous moment, possibly the worst crisis in America since the Civil War. You have a president who is acting unconstitutionally and illegally. Guess what? These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And then basically to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn’t vote for Donald Trump, well, we’re going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state, illegal, outrageous, unconstitutional.”Vayr ge hargit already, Lose yourself among the dozens of rooms in your Vermont mansions, so that even maggots and blowflies will get lost trying to follow the stench of your accursed, miserable rotting corpse.
And yet, with all the gloom and doom predicted, this happened:
Global stocks gained and gold traded near record highs on Thursday as investors took in their stride the potential ramifications of a U.S. government shutdown, while a weak private U.S. labor market report bolstered bets for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Investors have been largely sanguine about the shutdown’s impact on the markets and economy, helped by data of past shutdowns that showed limited fallouts. Morgan Stanley, for example, said U.S. share prices have risen an average 4.4% while real U.S. economic growth has expanded 2.2% during shutdowns in the past.
Elsewhere, out in southern California last night . . .
A massive fire erupted at a Chevron oil refinery outside of Los Angeles on Thursday night, forcing residents to shelter in place following multiple reports of an explosion. Californians said they felt the blast come from Chevron’s refinery — the company’s second-biggest site in the US — in El Segundo, Calif., at around 9:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Times reported. “I thought we got nuked or something,” Mark Rogers told the outlet, saying his adult soccer league match in Redondo Beach was canceled moments later because of the heavy smoke coming from the blaze roughly 6 miles away.Well, here's a golden opportunity for Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass to seize the land and convert it into low-income housing while at the same time destroying the fossil fuel industry. Win-win, nein?! With everything going on in the world and here at home, it would not surprise me if this was not the result of enemy action. Foreign or domestic enemies or some combination of both given the nature of global Islam and communism. Speaking of the former, It won't be long now before Albion wakes up to discover Westminster Abbey is now Hagia Sophia 2, Global Caliphate boogaloo. Right on the heels of a Yom Kippur terror attack in Manchester, we had this madness in London, right at Keir Starmer-bahnfuhrer's doorstep!
After the Muslim terrorist attack at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, PM Keir Starmer made remarks claiming that he’s going to fight “antisemitic hatred”. It might have be more useful to fight Islamic terrorism, but in any case his party’s base would like to go in a very different direction. As they showed when they showed up as a mob to protest not killing Jews. The “peaceful protest” was one of those that have “death” chants.
And as I and others have stated here and elsewhere it won't be long before this insanity comes here if it isn't here already as the campus centered Jew-baiting in the wake of the 10/7 Gaza-led mass wave pogrom has shown. Have a great weekend! And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know
- ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY LINKS
- The 1,000-acre El Segundo facility, operated by Chevron, has its own fire department battling the blaze with assistance from the El Segundo Fire Department, KCAL News reported. “We were able to respond with Chevron fire immediately, our station is about a .25 mile away from the gates of Chevron,” El Segundo Mayor Christ Pimentel told the outlet. “Obviously, we are very concerned, and there is a lot of investigative work to be done to see what has happened.”

Anti-Woke Dissident Liberal to Join CBS as Editor-in-Chief of News
Is she a conservative? Nah, son, she's a lesbian who can't go three seconds without mentioning that she's married to a woman. She's probably further to the left, ideologically, than Hillary Clinton.
But she's been against leftwing censorship consistently. She does recognize the threat of establishment liberals using force and coercion to impose their bizarre anti-factual conspiracy-theory demonic ideology on a population who hates it. She herself was purged from the New York Times. Google's Woke Satanic AI insists to me she wasn't "purged" at all, merely forced to resign by the entire newsroom bullying her over her "centrist positions."Bari Weiss was not purged from The New York Times; she resigned in July 2020 after alleging that the newspaper fostered a "hostile work environment" where she was bullied by colleagues for her centrist viewpoints. Her resignation followed a period of internal turmoil, including the controversy over an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton.Well that's nothing at all like a purge, is it? The most egregious, hateful part of current leftist ideology is their insistence that they will weaponize all the institutional power they've acquired through decades of the Long March Through the Institutions, purging conservatives and then moderates and forever recruiting and promoting ever-harder-left ideologues, to compel everyone outside the Demonic Church of the Left to comply or die. At least she opposes that. This is a sea change at the ultra-left propaganda network CBS. Yes, Bari Weiss is just a liberal. But she's not a power-craving "shitlib" like all of the establishment fascist leftists are.
Third place. Everyone continues chasing the shrinking far-left audience that everyone else despises. Roger Ailes famously said that cleverly discovered a very hidden underserved market -- half of the f***ing country. Will CBS News vault to first place as it becomes the less liberal news? Yes, probably, though... you know, the networks are dying. CBS will the sexiest patient in the hospice.
Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days -- giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned. Weiss -- a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent -- is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said. In a remarkable reshuffle of CBS News' decades-old management structure, Weiss will report directly to Paramount Skydance Chief Executive David Ellison as she helps set the editorial direction at the Tiffany Network's third-place news division, a source close to the situation said.
Weiss's direct line to Ellison means she will not report to CBS News president Tom Cibrowski, who currently reports to George Cheeks, chair of TV media at Paramount Skydance. No further details could be immediately learned about how Weiss would work with Cibrowski. Insiders said the hiring of Weiss casts doubts on speculation about the possible return of former CBS President David Rhodes to the network, with one source saying their job candidacies were an "either/or" situation.That's Ben Rhodes' brother, a man whom establishment country-club Republicans like Brit Hume exist is "moderate." Moderate, but presiding, somehow, over a hard-left antifa propaganda operation.
Oh no, I'd hate to see any establishment fascist liberals lose their jobs. I sure hope that multi-millionaire Ratings Poison Gayle King doesn't get her Oprah-Dick-Riding ass fired. The far left -- by which I mean "The Democrat Party" -- is fuming.
Sources told The Post that Weiss could be a strong counterpart to Cibrowski, a former "Good Morning America" executive who is regarded more as a production wizard than a journalist. Others said they expect it will only be a matter of time before Weiss -- who has emerged as a leading voice against antisemitism and the "woke" elites in mainstream media -- zeroes in on Cibrowski's job. "Bari is extremely ambitious. Tom had better watch out," a source close to both parties said.
Puck News reported the move "would inevitably inspire blowback from various corners of the newsroom," but not everyone at CBS News was alarmed. "Maybe more free thought, free expression is on the way. Nothing to fear here," one CBS News staffer told Fox News Digital in September.BTW, Weiss is reportedly being paid $150 million in cash and stock for her start-up webzine the Free Press. Previous reports said $100-200 million and darnit if it didn't turn out to be right in the middle.
Left-wing commentators, however, fumed at the idea, claiming that hiring "one of the most polarizing figures in media" would only further erode media trust and amount to a "right-wing grift." Weiss, a classical liberal who famously exited The New York Times in 2020 after bullying from far-left colleagues, has largely been ostracized by the cultural left for The Free Press' reporting that challenges DEI, gender ideology and media narratives against Israel during its ongoing war with Hamas.

James Varney: Budget Negotiations Are Poisoned by Democrats' Insistence on Paying Out Billions in Obamacare Fraud
Now there's the Democrat Party of old!
No transgender cultism -- just endless graft for all its dependent criminals.At issue are the generous subsidies the Biden administration created for Affordable Care Act policies, sweeteners that are slated to expire in December. Making healthcare essentially free for millions of Americans, those policies have skyrocketed enrollment in Obamacare plans. But a recent study found they have also sparked a curious phenomenon: an estimated 12 million enrollees "without a single claim -- no doctor visit, lab test, or prescription filled" in 2024. The Paragon Health Institute study reports that this is triple the number of no-claim policyholders before the Biden sweeteners were put in place. "Among those now eligible for zero-premium plans with low or no deductible," the study found, "that number increased nearly sevenfold. ... A whopping 40 percent of enrollees in fully subsidized plans had no claims in 2024. In 2024 alone, taxpayers sent at least $35 billion to insurers for people who paid no premiums and never used their plan," the report said. ...The Biden "sweeteners" were supposed to be temporary "emergency" relief during Covid. Of course "temporary emergency relief" is always Democrat-Media-Antifa Party code for "stealing money from Non-Democrats to give to Democrats forever until the very end of days."
Critics say they underscore the findings of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has highlighted a lack of accountability in massive government spending programs at a time when the federal government is struggling to corral massive deficits and debt. They say the Biden sweeteners also illustrate how and why government spending keeps increasing: Once a subsidy is put in place, it is hard to take it away from voters.
The Obamacare expansion at issue came about through legislation and regulations during Biden's term and was often cast as a response to the COVID pandemic. First, the scope of who was eligible for subsidies was broadened, making it available to households with incomes above 400% of the federal poverty line -- making a family of four earning up to $160,000 eligible for subsidized plans. Also, increased subsidies made Obamacare free for those with incomes between 100% and 150% of the poverty line, and longer enrollment periods were created. The cost for this, on the other hand, is borne by taxpayers. "Biden's COVID credits didn't reduce health care costs -- they just shifted them to taxpayers while padding insurer and enrollment intermediary profits," Paragon President Brian Blase said. Like all gigantic markets and massive government programs, the Affordable Care Act and what people pay each month have become a very complicated thing, varying by age, state, level of plan, and other factors. But the figures for the Obamacare "reference plan" (silver level) reveal what has happened since the COVID pandemic. In 2021, when Biden was inaugurated, that basic plan cost an individual $27 a month if they reported income along the federal poverty line, which stood around $14,500 a year. For those making 50% more, the "reference plan" cost $75 a month, and so on up to $152 a month for someone making more than $30,000. Those monthly payment figures were constant regardless of what the insurers charged, with taxpayers making up the difference. Through legislation Biden pushed through by narrow majorities or via reconciliation, the amount someone would pay each month in the first two categories dropped to zero. And as Obamacare became essentially free, millions signed up -- enrolling at rates the plan had never seen since its inception in 2013. The overall figures reflect this explosion. Between 2016 and 2020, an average of 8.5 million people signed up for a subsidized Obamacare policy each year, and in none of those years did the figure equal 9 million, according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In 2021, however, the subsidized total topped 10 million, and by 2024 it had nearly doubled to 19.5 million, CMS figures show. "It's all counter-intuitive, that when enrollment isn't being publicized, no one is out beating the bushes to get people enrolled like we had in the early years of Obamacare," said Ed Haislmaier, a healthcare expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "Amazing, that a product's sales would go through the roof when nobody was talking about it." Some analysts believe the numbers indicate rampant fraud. Blase claimed in a letter to the Wall Street Journal that the expansion has created an explosion of phantom patients -- including 6.4 million of them so far in 2025. "The problem isn't real people with coverage they don't use -- it's fraudulent sign-ups who never should have been subsidized." ... Paragon is not the only group voicing concerns. It often seems like fraud is endemic in federal programs, and government healthcare appears to offer a rich vein for such activity. ... Opponents of expanded subsidies note that when the government makes a deep pool of money available, as has happened with the ACA, fraud is sure to follow. In June, Bloomberg did a deep dive on the phenomenon, describing a rat's nest of unscrupulous call centers, primarily based in Florida, that have lured people in with various gimmicks and then signed them up for subsidized plans. What's more, those licensed to sell plans had access to Obamacare exchange databases, which allowed them to change both the "agent of record" (thereby making themselves recipient of whatever bonus insurers paid for new signups), or the plan a person was enrolled in (thereby increasing their commission and the taxpayers' bill), according to Gabrielle Kalisz, one of the authors of Paragon's report. Consequently, millions of Americans may be unaware that they own a subsidized Obamacare policy, and horror stories abound of unsuspecting people hit with tax bills seeking to recoup the subsidies. ... Nor are the so-called "phantom enrollees" the only issue. For example, the numbers don't add up when percentages of state populations according to census data are measured against the Obamacare subsidies. Fourteen states have more people enrolled at up to 150% of the federal poverty line than they do residents who fit that category, and Florida's total is five times what census data shows it could be. ... Republicans, including some who got fabulously wealthy through the healthcare system, like Florida's Sen. Rick Scott, have said extending the subsidies is ruinously expensive and foolhardy, given what has happened since they were introduced. "COVID opened the door for massive waste, fraud, and abuse of government programs, like the billions in fraud and abuse allowed by the 'temporary COVID' enhanced Obamacare subsidies," Scott posted last week. "Americans don't want their tax dollars lining the pockets of insurance companies -- it's time to end this clear abuse of YOUR dollars." ...
Whatever the outcome, large subsidies that have always been part of Obamacare will continue. For all the hue and cry about rising costs, the elimination of Biden-era sweeteners would simply return the system to the way it was operating before 2021, Kalisz said. "It's crony math, a kind of corporate welfare," she told RealClearInvestigations. "Why are the insurers now making it seem like all the subsidies are going away? It's a form of scaring and spooking the public."

In the UK, a Maryland Man Crashes His Vehicle Into a Synagogue on Yom Kippur, Killing Two, Wounding Four Others
Also happening in the UK: The British left is projected to be demolished when they finally hold elections again. Reform is projected to take a clear majority in Parliament, no need of any help from the "Conservatives." (Who will fall to about 30 seats, down from their peak of 350 five years ago.) So what is the British left doing? Pumping out Assassination Bait against Farage.
Biden did the same thing to Trump, claiming he would destroy the US and imprison the population while giving him the D-team of Secret Service agents with zero counter-snipers.
You think this is all a coincidence?
These Maryland Men sure do get around.
Sure, Chuckles. Whatever.
A man in England on Thursday -- Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar -- rammed his vehicle into people at a synagogue, killing two and injuring four others, according to authorities, who called the attack a terrorist incident. Assistant Metropolitan Police Commissioner Laurence Taylor, the head of counter-terrorism, said that the attack had been declared a terrorist incident and the suspect was fatally shot by police, according to NBC News. Two people were killed during the attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, and three others were in "serious condition," he said. The incident occurred at about 9:41 a.m. local time in the city of Manchester, and the suspect was reportedly fatally shot by police. Greater Manchester Police initially said in an X post that the suspect could not be identified because of "suspicious items" on his body, as they were being dealt with by bomb disposal officers. Authorities believe they know the identity of the suspect but are "unable to confirm at this stage," Taylor said. Two arrests were also made in connection with the attack. ... The police posted earlier on X that a member of the public reported having "witnessed a car being driven toward members of the public" and that one "man had been stabbed" near the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, an area with a large Jewish community. ... King Charles III said in a statement that he and Queen Camilla were "deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the horrific attack in Manchester, especially on such a significant day for the Jewish community."

Reform is projected to take a clear majority in Parliament, no need of any help from the "Conservatives." (Who will fall to about 30 seats, down from their peak of 350 five years ago.) So what is the British left doing? Pumping out Assassination Bait against Farage.
The deputy prime minister, David Lammy, has found himself in hot water after claiming in an interview with the BBC that Nigel Farage "once flirted with Hitler Youth when he was younger". Sources at Farage's Reform UK party responded by calling the comment "disgusting and libellous". Lammy has clarified his remarks. "He [Farage] has denied it and so I accept that he has denied it and I would like to clarify that position because in the end the prime minister is keen for us to focus on the policies not the individuals," Lammy said.Effeminate communist PM Keir Starmer is tagging Farage as... anti-British??!!
He tagged Mr Farage an 'enemy of national renewal' and suggested he would say anything for popularity - dismissing the idea that the country is 'broken'. 'When was the last time you heard Nigel Farage say anything positive about Britain? He can't. He doesn't like Britain,' he said. Sir Keir delivered vicious barbs at 'politicians who lie to this country, unleash chaos and walked away after Brexit'. He questioned whether Mr Farage 'wants the country to fail'. 'Do they love our country? Do they want to serve our country, all of it... ? Or do they want to stir the pot of division?' In an immediate on-camera response from London, Mr Farage said the attack from Sir Keir 'will incite and encourage the radical left'. Highlighting the murder of Charlie Kirk in the US, he said the 'disgraceful' language 'directly threatens the safety' of Reform campaigners. But deputy PM David Lammy quickly ramped up the tensions even further with an extraordinary jibe about Mr Farage 'flirting with the Hitler Youth'. Asked on the BBC after the speech if Mr Farage was racist, Mr Lammy said he was not going to 'play the man' before adding: 'I will leave it the public to come to their own judgments about someone who once flirted with the Hitler Youth when he was younger.' An incredulous Reform source said they had 'no words' to describe the Cabinet minister's intervention.The innocent minded among you might doubt that this is Assassination Bait. But, dig this: While the British communists are chumming the waters with Assassination Bait, they're simultaneously slashing the funding for Farage's personal security team by 75%. Why not 100%? Well, because that would be too obvious. When he gets shot, they'll be able to say "we paid for some security."
Biden did the same thing to Trump, claiming he would destroy the US and imprison the population while giving him the D-team of Secret Service agents with zero counter-snipers.
You think this is all a coincidence?
Reform UK is accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government of "stochastic terrorism" after the Home Office cut Nigel Farage's taxpayer-funded security by 75 percent. Spokesman Zia Yusuf said Wednesday the move, paired with coordinated attacks labeling Farage and his supporters "racist," has put their safety at risk. Key Details: Reform UK spokesman Zia Yusuf said the Home Office "decimated" Farage's protection team weeks before what he called a campaign of "unprecedented, vicious, and coordinated demonisation" from senior government officials. Donors have reportedly stepped in to privately fund additional security for Farage, who has survived several past attacks and continues to draw large crowds on the campaign trail. Yusuf accused Starmer and his ministers of engaging in "stochastic terrorism," a term describing the public vilification of an individual to provoke random violence against them. He warned: "If anything were to happen, we would hold Keir Starmer squarely responsible."

BLM Sues George Soros' Tides Foundation Because I Really Needed a Boner-Boost Today
It's a dose of Viagra for the soul.
Wait, the group that spends millions on LA party-mansions and calls it "activism" is accusing someone else of mishandling donor money? This is too rich. So are BLM's founders.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is suing the George Soros--backed Tides Foundation, alleging it mishandled and withheld $33.4 million in donations.
The legal battle highlights a deepening rift within the left's activist infrastructure, pitting two of its biggest players against one another. Key Details: BLMGNF claims Tides withheld $33.4 million and mismanaged funds, spending at least $6 million despite ongoing litigation. Lawyers for BLM accuse Tides of even using over $1 million of BLM's donations to fund its legal defense. The lawsuit adds fuel to broader scrutiny of both groups: BLM for lavish spending, and Tides for acting as a conduit for radical left-wing causes. Diving Deeper: The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), once hailed as the central hub of the BLM movement, is now locked in a bitter fight with one of its closest progressive partners. In a scathing lawsuit, BLM accuses the San Francisco--based Tides Foundation--an organization long funded by leftist billionaire George Soros--of "deceptive business practices" and "egregious mismanagement" over more than $33 million in donations. The dispute dates back to BLM's early days. When the group was founded in 2013, it lacked tax-exempt status and relied on Tides to serve as its fiscal sponsor, channeling millions in anonymous donations to local BLM chapters. That arrangement worked--until the 2020 surge in donations after George Floyd's death, when BLM raked in nearly $90 million in two years. Suddenly, its partnership with Tides turned from convenience to chaos. According to BLM's attorney Lawrence Segal, Tides not only froze BLM's money but actively spent it. "My client now has to pay money just to get their own money back, after my client raised 100% of it," Segal told The Post. He further alleged that "more than $1 million has been spent by Tides out of my client's money just on attorney's fees -- possibly to pay their own lawyers." The lawsuit claims Tides lumps all donor money into a $1.4 billion pool, making it impossible for groups like BLM to track their funds. "TIDES does not segregate monies. All of my client's money is apparently commingled in one giant account," Segal said. ... BLM itself has faced scandals. Out of the $90 million it raised post-Floyd, just $30 million was distributed to local groups, while tens of millions went toward salaries, investments, and controversial real estate purchases tied to co-founder Patrisse Cullors. Critics say the group became a cash machine for insiders, with Cullors' brother pocketing more than $200,000 a year as "head of security."Wouldn't it be amazing if BLM turned out to be right and George Soros, long believed to be the generous patron of the left, turns out to be a grifter who is stealing the left's money? I don't expect that will happen. BLM has a long history of grifting. But what a turn that would be.

OMB Director Russ Vought: I Think I'll Take This Opportunity to Defund Another $8 Billion in Green New Scam Boondoggles
This is in addition to the $18 billion already suspended.
MXM:The White House announced Wednesday it is cancelling $8 billion in green energy funding amid the Democrat-caused government shutdown. OMB Director Russ Vought said the cuts target "Green New Scam" programs in blue states, following an earlier move to halt $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects. Key Details: OMB Director Russ Vought confirmed on X that "nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled," with the Department of Energy expected to release further details. The cuts primarily affect projects in Democrat-led states, adding to the administration's announcement earlier Wednesday of $18 billion in paused infrastructure projects for New York City. President Trump told reporters on Tuesday that his administration wanted to avoid a shutdown, blaming Democrats for blocking a clean continuing resolution passed by House Republicans that maintained existing, previously agreed-upon funding levels.
Russ VoughtWhat a nice group of Democrat-dominated states you have there. Would be a shame if somet'in' were to 'appen to them. Trump is meeting with Vought to decide which agencies to slash next.
@russvought Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled. More info to come from @ENERGY
. The projects are in the following states: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he would be meeting with Vought "to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent." Trump added, "I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT."While the government may be shut down, deportations are continuing. Trump secured full funding for ICE in a previous bill.
Even with the government shut down, ICE agents aren't stopping. "We will continue to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Wednesday, crediting President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" for ensuring deportations and law enforcement operations stay fully funded and active nationwide. Key Details: McLaughlin told the Daily Caller News Foundation that ICE operations would not pause "despite a lapse in funding," stressing that violent offenders -- including rapists, murderers, and terrorists -- would still be removed from the country. The Department of Homeland Security cited the One Big Beautiful Bill, President Trump's sweeping reform package, as the reason ICE is able to continue hiring, training, and deploying law enforcement nationwide. On Tuesday alone, ICE agents arrested multiple convicted illegal migrants, including child predators in Texas and California, a murderer in Los Angeles, a Guatemalan national convicted of assault in Massachusetts, and a Chinese smuggler.However, other people involved in law enforcement or the military will be working without pay so that Chuck Schumer can have an issue when Alexandria Donkey-Chompers primaries him:
Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem Our @DHSgov law enforcement officers will continue to work throughout the Democrats' Shutdown to make sure our homeland is safe and secure. More than 200,000 of these patriots will go without pay. The Democrats will be forcing over 150,000 officers and nearly 50,000 members of the military--our frontline of defense--to continue protecting our nation without pay.

Kash Patel Ends FBI's Use of Far-Left Extremist Group the ADL to Tell It Who the "Hate Groups" Are
The FBI's use of the ADL to do its "hate" homework for it began -- get this -- under Noted Felon James Comey.
What seems to have provoked this #Cancellation is the ADL's bizarre insistence that Turning Point USA is a "hate group." MXMNews:The era of "Whole of Government Approaches" -- that is, actual fascism, as leftwing government pressures all NGOs and corporations to impose a totalitarian control over the population -- is over.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Wednesday that the bureau is ending its partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, a relationship first formed under former Director James Comey. Patel accused the ADL of "activism dressed up as counterterrorism," saying the FBI will no longer align with the group after years of controversy over its political bias. Key Details: Patel said former Director James Comey "disgraced the FBI" by embedding agents with the ADL and allowing the group to influence federal investigations. The ADL, facing criticism for labeling Turning Point USA and other right-leaning groups as extremist, said in a statement that it has "deep respect" for law enforcement despite Patel's remarks. The decision comes days after the ADL deleted its entire "Glossary of Extremism and Hate," which included conservative organizations and figures such as TPUSA's Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month.
Diving Deeper: According to Fox News Digital, FBI Director Kash Patel formally ended the bureau's longstanding partnership with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a relationship initiated under former Director James Comey in the mid-2010s. Patel said the FBI "formally rejects Comey's policies and any partnership with the ADL," calling the group an "extreme organization functioning like a terrorist outfit" that politicized law enforcement. Comey's close alignment with the ADL was well-documented. During a 2017 speech at the ADL's National Leadership Summit, Comey reportedly described the FBI's relationship with the group as a "love story," declaring, "We're still in love with you." He praised the ADL's advocacy for its supposed "fairness and equality," even ending his remarks with, "Love, the FBI." In sharp contrast, Patel said that era is over. "That was not law enforcement -- it was activism," he told Fox News Digital, adding that the partnership endangered Americans by embedding ideology into counterterrorism work.
... Elon Musk also blasted the ADL in a series of posts, calling it "a hate group" and revealing that the FBI once relied on ADL classifications to guide investigations. "The FBI was taking their 'hate group' definitions from ADL, which is why FBI was investigating Charlie Kirk [and] Turning Point instead of his murderers," Musk wrote. ...
Patel's decision marks a sharp break from the Comey-era FBI, signaling a broader institutional shift under the Trump administration away from politically charged partnerships. As Patel put it, "That era is finished."

#CancelNetflix Is Trending As Company Loses $15.1 Billion in Capitalization; People Discover Netflix Has Been Pushing Trans Propaganda on 7-Year-Olds For Years
So what caused this? Well, Elon Musk tweeted "Cancel Netflix" when someone posted Netflix's hardcore transgenderism-for-little-children messaging. This new clip -- which is what I think kicked off this #CancelNetflix party -- is from a cartoon for young children. It shows a boy (?) telling other kids that his life is great now that he's become a transgender. A clip that made the rounds years ago of a show for very, very young children -- like Barney the Dinosaur age -- features two gay dads praising their son for choosing to dress like a girl instead of a boy. They boy gets praised for wearing a tiara and a tu-tu. Another cartoon for very young children called "Strawberry Shortcake" features a gay man dressing in drag and lecturing children about the wonders of "dressing up." In a clip I saw some time ago, even the Transformers, who are sexless robots, are using transgender pronouns now. In another resurfaced clip, this one from "The Baby-Sitters Club" -- for 9 year old girls who dream of one day being 15 year old girls -- children are given a lesson in transgender pronouns and "misgendering" a trans six-year-old.
A stupid kid's show not only pushes witchcraft but transgender pronouns.

Scene from 'Family Switch' on @Netflix is racist against White people. A museum exhibit is broken and a worker explains "some clumsy family came and knocked over the telescope... and you know they was white because black people don't create problems like this." Why is Netflix demonizing white people?Yes I think we can all attest that black people always act perfectly in public spaces. They're practically notorious for their perfect public behavior. Obviously Netflix donates 100% to Democrats and 0% to Republicans. A children's show abusing the Jurassic Park license called "Jurassic Park: Camp Cretaceous" features two stunning and brave lesbians having a passionate open-mouthed kiss. Here's a still of that lesbian deep kiss.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
But this is exactly what their policies have created. Pandering to the ascendant Muslim minority while simultaneously attacking and vilifying Israel set the stage for this attack and many others. They have made it abundantly clear that normal citizens are inferior to their new voting bloc, and because Jews are a special target for their favored pressure group, the government is quite willing to placate the hordes by making UK Jews unwanted. And that horde is ecstatic about it!
That is correct, and the rest of the country that isn't Muslim isn't far behind that sentiment. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!
Sir Keir Starmer says he is "appalled" by the attack and is set to fly home early from a meeting of European leaders to chair an emergency Cobra meeting, and the King says he is "deeply shocked" to learn of the "horrific attack" on "such a significant day for the Jewish community".

The Morning Report — 10/2/25
Also, the prospects of attractive and accomplished Winsome Earle Sears to beat horrendous harridan Abigail Spanberger in Virginia's gubernatorial race are also on the rise.
And elsewhere as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar, as well as the usual outlets listed below, Secretary of WAR Pete Hegseth with encouragement and the blessings of his and our Commander-in-Chief is purging the vestiges of the poisonous rot of DEI within the military and restoring the morale and effectiveness from the top brass down through the ranks. And thank God for that, given the situation in the world today vis a vis the Chi-Coms, Iran and global Islam as well as their third-world hangers on that hate America with equal fervor and are more than willing to take pot shots at us at their behest or of their own accord.
Hegseth himself summed it up perfectly by declaring
I assume that he was referencing the sickening debasement that is or please God was Admiral Richard/Rachel Levine. How many more Bitter literal KLINGERS (with apologies to Jamie Farr) are there in the ranks and when will they all be section 8-ed the hell out?! Of course one or more Hawaiian judges are ready to impose their will on us and declare such a move null and void.
Beyond those aforementioned threats, there's also the alien chest-burster gnawing the guts of Uncle Sam himself from within that must be utterly eradicated with absolutely no mercy.

Now is the time for full government action, and we've seen the deployments. I love the deployments. I love seeing Border Patrol out there doing what they're doing every single night. But we need to get proactive. We need to absolutely get proactive about this. And what better place to do that than Portland? We know that Portland is one of the hot spots, probably the biggest hot spot. It's the only place, right? It's the only place in the whole country where the left has no leg to stand on whatsoever when they say Antifa doesn't exist, because the Portland chapter of Antifa has existed for 20 years. . . But when you have these poisonous, sick, cancerous elements in it, they must be treated like a disease, and the disease must be fought. The Cancer must be cut out. It must be eradicated. It must be wiped clean. And that's what we're going to do, folks, we're going to wipe them clean.Again, whether the Democrat Party directly or indirectly funds Antifa, having them as your de facto goon squads benefits them politically. And everything the Democrats do ultimately serves the cause of destroying the American nation and society as it was founded and intended to be. 200-plus years of history with rivers of blood and wastage of human life and potential is self-evident for all but the deaf, dumb and blind. Sad to say, but it's us or them. You are either with us or you're with the terrorists. Who comes out on top and how the war is to be fought remains to be seen — the Left's eagerness and willingness to subvert the rule of law and to encourage and countenance violence and terrorism to all who oppose them is where we are at. Also, I note that Kash Patel told the ADL to gey kocken affin yom! loosely translated from Yiddish, go shit in the ocean. (basically a polite way of saying go "F" yourself
“James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans. That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger,” said Patel.Like everything else that is infested with Leftists, it ultimately rots and dies. The ADL whose original intention was to call out and protect Jews from anti-semitism and other minorities from discrimination lost its way long ago and became cheerleaders and propagandists for some of the most noxious and extreme anti-American individuals and organizations while sliming conservatives and Christians as Jew-haters and so forth. Ironically it is conservatives and Christians who are the staunchest defenders of Jews and Israel while the Left falls all over itself to throw us into a mass grave, sadly Jews by birth only as its most vocieferous cheerleaders. Now to dismantle the ACLU and SPLC with extreme prejudice. For far too long those hotbeds of Leftism have been used to legitimize and give cover to attack and demonize anyone and anything even red pubic hair's width to the right of Fidel Castro. Their ill-gotten status as defenders of freedom, plurality and the American way has got to be smashed once and for all. Have a good day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

- OpenAI's new social app
Wait, let me stop you right there.
Noah, we'll need you to build another boat. No, same size as last time would be fine.
- OpenAI's new social app, Sora, is filled with horrifying Sam Altman deepfakes. (Tech Crunch)
In a video on OpenAI's new TikTok-like social media app Sora, a never-ending factory farm of pink pigs are grunting and snorting in their pens - each is equipped with a feeding trough and a smartphone screen, which plays a feed of vertical videos. A terrifyingly realistic Sam Altman stares directly at the camera, as though he's making direct eye contact with the viewer. The AI-generated Altman asks, "Are my piggies enjoying their slop?"
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.In the next video on Sora's For You feed, Altman appears again. This time, he's standing in a field of Pokémon, where creatures like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and a sort of half-baked Growlithe are frolicking through the grass. The OpenAI CEO looks at the camera and says, "I hope Nintendo doesn't sue us." Then there are many more fantastical yet realistic scenes, which often feature Altman himself.
Build a global network that everyone can share, they said. Make access cheap and easy, they said. What could go wrong, they said.People on Sora who generate videos of Altman are especially getting a kick out of how blatantly OpenAI appears to be violating copyright laws. (Sora will reportedly require copyright holders to opt out of their content's use - reversing the typical approach where creators must explicitly agree to such use - the legality of which is debatable.)
Guys?
OpenAI isn't violating copyright anymore than a typewriter.
You - the people posting this drivel - are doing that.

Flashback: The genius Whoopi Goldberg wants to know why you don't get refunded your health insurance payments if you don't go to the hospital for a year. I had asked the same question of my mom, about car insurance. When I was eight years old and read on a fourth-grade level.
Is America experiencing a religious revival after the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Salena Zito:
Something big is happening with America's young people. It has been building for the past two years. It centers on faith, purpose, and a renewal toward more traditional American values. This new American youth counterculture movement looks very different from the one that burst onto the scene in the 1960s. ... Every counterculture movement is a rebellion against the dominant culture. Now, our young people are leading the way by rejecting the conformity demanded by our culture and its elite gatekeepers who crush dissent from anyone who questions their authority. .... These moments are not anecdotal. Two recent reports have shown a dramatic shift among young people and their relationship with their faith. First, the Pew Research Center released a report showing that the decades-long decline in Americans identifying as Christian leveled off, followed by a survey done by the Barna Group that showed that downward trend is now in full reverse. And who is driving the return to church? These reports show the rise in faith is being driven by those in their 20s and 30s. "Since the pandemic Millennials and Gen Z have shown significant increases in commitment to Jesus," the Barna Group study reads, "while Boomers and Gen X, especially women, have remained flat in their commitment levels to Jesus." Last Thursday, a remarkable moment happened on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh when 600 college students showed up for a first-ever "Pitt for Jesus" event. There, it was clear we are in the midst of a revival. The event featured nearly 100 baptisms, live worship music, prayer, testimonies by athletes and a spiritual awakening among young people that was profound to experience.The Supreme Court -- led by the liberals Roberts and Coney-Barrett, I'm sure -- rejects Trump's appeal and says that Lisa Cook can remain a Fed Bank Governor, despite her serial mortgage fraud on the federal banks themselves.
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook will keep her position while the Supreme Court considers arguments over the president's authority to fire her amid allegations of mortgage fraud. The court agreed to hear the issue on an expedited basis, Politico reported."Expedited" means that they'll hear arguments in January, and who knows how many months will pass before they issue a decision. The Comey prosecution will focus on his authorization of the "friend" he hired to be his personal leaker to leak confidential files to the media, and his subsequent lie to Congress that he didn't authorize confidential leaks.
Fired FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for purportedly lying to Congress when he denied authorizing FBI leaks to the media. In fact, multiple sources told Just the News that Comey authorized his personal advisor and friend Daniel Richman to leak to the press. Richman, a former DOJ official and current Professor of Law at Columbia University Law School, was a Special Government Employee (SGE) at the FBI during the 2016 election, and it is already public knowledge that Richman later assisted Comey with leaking the so-called "Comey Memos" to the New York Times in 2017 after Comey's firing by President Donald Trump. Motivating the leak was Comey's desire to prompt the appointment of a special counsel to carry on the bureau's Trump-Russia investigation, which proved to be baseless. Comey has described Richman as a "friend" to investigators, and Richman also went on to be Comey's personal attorney. The indictment against Comey came two weeks after Richman was subpoenaed as part of a criminal probe, according to ABC News.Comey also claimed that he "couldn't recall" whether he had been briefed on the fact that the entire RussiaGate hoax he was determined to use FBI resources to "investigate" was in fact a fabrication of Hillary Clinton. He didn't want to admit that he was told that Hillary Clinton was behind all this -- which would compel him to end the investigation -- so unbelievably claimed he just couldn't remember if he'd ever been briefed on this fact. The teacher who forced students to participate in ghost-face masked "Scream" orgies is hit by nearly 50 charges of sexual assault on minors.
Elements of the indictment and unnamed "persons" The indictment sought by the Trump Justice Department and approved by a grand jury last week stems from allegations that Comey misled the Senate during his testimony in late September 2020, when he reiterated his May 2017 denial that he had ever authorized an FBI leak of information to the media about the Trump-Russia investigation or Clinton-related investigations. The indictment also alleged that Comey had obstructed Congress by lying to the Senate. "On or about September 30, 2020, in the Eastern District of Virginia, the defendant, JAMES B. COMEY JR., did willfully and knowingly make a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the Government of the United Stales, by falsely stating to a U.S. Senator during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that he, JAMES B. COMEY JR., had not 'authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports' regarding an FBI investigation concerning PERSON 1," the indictment states. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that "Person 1" is Hillary Clinton. The sources declined to be named due to the sensitive nature of the investigation. The indictment goes on to say that Comey's leak authorization denial "was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning PERSON 1." The allegation that "Person 3" is Richman comes after multiple news articles had apparently suggested that the person in question whom Comey had allegedly authorized to leak had been former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. The sources familiar with the matter stated that "Person 3" is Richman.
A disgraced Indiana teacher accused of forcing teenagers as young as 13 to wear "Scream" masks while having group sex with her now faces nearly 50 criminal charges after another accuser came forward. Brittany Fortinberry, 32, was hit with six additional counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, dissemination of material harmful to minors and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to court documents obtained by WTHR. The accuser came forward in early September -- long after the teacher had been arrested and accused by others -- saying he was previously too scared to speak out, newly released documents revealed.I know you're wondering: Is this real rape, or is she hot? She's an uggo, so it's real rape.
He claimed Fortinberry would invite him to her house to hang out and do drugs, and that she would compliment his appearance and strength while he did chores for her. Eventually, Fortinberry started touching him more, culminating in them allegedly having sex in her garage, according to the docs. It was not clear how old the boy was at the time.
That same night, the boy claimed he slept in Fortinberry's kids' room, while the teacher went to bed with her husband, according to court documents. He alleged that Fortinberry plied him with drugs and gifts, but claimed he stopped going to her house after he realized she was having sex with other teens.
Several teenagers in the area knew about Fortinberry allegedly supplying minors with drugs and sexually preying on children, according to the victim. "She just handed it out to anybody," he told investigators, according to court documents seen by Fox 59. The divorced educator now faces a total of 47 charges, including 15 counts of child molestation and 14 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor. Fortinberry's life imploded in August 2024 after the grandmother of one of her alleged victims told police the teacher molested the boy when he was 15 years old. The grandmother also claimed Fortinberry sent the boy nude pictures and gave him drugs, along with graphic messages allegedly threatening to kill herself if he told anyone about the abuse.
A Hunter College grad who went viral for mercilessly tearing down posters of Israelis taken hostage by Hamas ended up landing herself an internship in mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's state assembly office, The Post has learned. Frances Macalimbon Hamed, whose face was plastered in The Post back in 2023 when she and another activist were busted tearing down the hostage posters, was later employed as a "constituent-services intern" in Mamdani's Queens legislative office. Mamdani's mayoral campaign confirmed Tuesday that Hamed had been one of his state assembly interns but insisted he wasn't aware of the footage when she was hired.Sure. Wink.

"Massive" Federal Force Rounds Up Illegal Alien Gang Members in Chicago
Operation "Midway Blitz" is active.
A massive illegal immigration raid in Chicago -- targeting members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang -- resulted in over two dozen arrests as the Trump administration makes good on its promise to keep American communities safe, despite sanctuary city policies making it difficult to do so. The raid involved several agencies and 300 federal officers, which took place on Tuesday in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood. Authorities have reason to believe that the apartment complex has been used as a hub of sorts for the violent gang members. ... The outlet also cited a Border Patrol official, who said they were "seeking six high priority targets, including suspected members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan criminal organization," per the report. Video shows dozens of federal officials as well as a helicopter over the area in what has been described as an "unprecedented show of federal force." Authorities believe the gang members are responsible for dealing guns and drugs. This raid came less than a month after the Department of Homeland Security announced the launch of Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham, who was murdered in a hit-and-run drunk driving car wreck caused by a criminal illegal alien. "DHS is launching Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham who was killed in Illinois by a criminal illegal alien who should have never been in our country," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "This operation will target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Chicago. For years, Governor Pritzker and his fellow sanctuary politicians released Tren de Aragua gang members, rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers on Chicago's streets--putting American lives at risk and making Chicago a magnet for criminals," she continued. "President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message: no city is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens," she added. "If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return."

Israel, US Offer Hamas "Historic" Peace Deal But Hamas, Of Course, Refuses
Of course Hamas is refusing. They intend to make war and kill and rape Jews forever.
The "hard way" mentioned by Netanyahu might just be a
final siege of Gaza City and the complete eradication of the terrrorists there. The city is now surrounded so that no one can get in or out.
But I thought the "Just Askin' Questions" Troika of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and now Megyn Kelly all opposed the US extending any military aid to Israel, not because they're anti-Jewish, but just on strict principle. Has nothing to do with Israel, they declare, it's just that we oppose all American intervention on behalf of any country. But now that Trump has made a NATO Article 5 level guarantee to defend Qatar against Israel, the totally-not-antisemitic principled objectors to any foreign entanglements are stone silent. Defend Israel -- NEVER! Defend Qatar against Israel -- sounds good! Sign us up! It's almost as if -- see if you can follow my logic on this -- that they're not "anti-war" or "anti-foreign-intervention," but simply on the other side.
On Monday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a peace plan to end their conflict with Gaza. Hamas must now agree to the terms. "This can be done the easy way or the hard way, but it must be done," Netanyahu said in a statement to the press at the White House. The plan received praise from Republican members of Congress, but also from unexpected sources like the Palestinian government, which serves as the bureaucratic arm of Gaza governance. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wisc., told Just The News, "Think about when President Trump went to the Arabic countries very early on in his second term. He was treated with great respect, and he treated them with great respect. It's the same with Israel and the Jewish people." ... Importantly, the Palestinian Authority committed to implementing the reforms, including holding new elections and ending its system that pays the families of Palestinians involved in attacks on Israel, per the Associated Press. ... The proposed 20-point peace agreement aims to transform Gaza into a "deradicalized," terror-free zone that would, in theory, no longer pose a threat to its neighbors, with the immediate ending of hostilities upon acceptance by both Israel and Hamas. Israeli forces would withdraw to a designated line, suspending all military operations, while Hamas would return all hostages within 72 hours of Israel's public agreement. In return, Israel would release 250 life-sentence prisoners, 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023, and the remains of deceased Gazans proportional to Israeli hostage remains. Hamas members committing to peace and disarmament would receive amnesty or safe passage to leave Gaza, ensuring no further role in its governance. Additionally, full humanitarian aid, consistent with the January 19, 2025, agreement, would flow into Gaza without interference, managed by neutral international organizations, with the Rafah crossing operating under the same mechanism.
The "hard way" mentioned by Netanyahu might just be a
final siege of Gaza City and the complete eradication of the terrrorists there. The city is now surrounded so that no one can get in or out.
The IDF confirms it has "operational control" over the western portion of the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, preventing Palestinians from returning to Gaza City. In the past day, the 99th Division began a ground operation aimed at "strengthening and maintaining operational control over the Netzarim Corridor," the military says. "The troops operated to disrupt the operational capabilities of the Hamas terror organization in the area and to expand operational control in the sector," the army adds.Trump declared he'd defend Qatar from attacks -- from Israel, of course, should they bomb the Hamas leadership that is still granted haven there. (I know Israel bombed some of their penthouse bunkers but reports say that almost all of the leadership survived.) I'm sure Trump is doing this for tactical diplomatic reasons. He's probably getting Qatar to pressure Hamas. But he's done what he never before did for Israel: He made a guarantee of American military aid should Qatar be attacked. By Israel.
Southbound movement from Gaza City is still permitted, though Defense Minister Israel Katz said Palestinians would need to go through army checkpoints. He said earlier today that civilians now have their "last opportunity" to leave.
Trump gives Qatar unprecedented security guarantee after Israeli attack President Trump signed on Monday an executive order to provide Qatar a U.S. security guarantee with conditions similar to NATO's Article 5, according to the text of the order published by the White House. Why it matters: This is an unprecedented security agreement between the U.S. and an Arab country. It says the U.S. will treat any "armed attack" on the country "as a threat to the peace and security of the United States" and respond accordingly. The upgraded U.S. security guarantee is part of the "compensation" to Qatar for the failed Israeli strike against Hamas officials in Doha three weeks ago.An Article 5-like guarantee to come to the direct aid of a foreign country! Still, this presents a problem for the pro-Hamas "American Firsters" of the American pseudoright like Tucker Carlson, who just wants to ask endless questions about America's alliance with Israel. These supposed champions of strict non-internetionism shrieked about America's one night of bombing on Iran's nuke facilities, but are oddly quiet about America promising to defend a foreign country against Israel.
Because it was issued via executive order, the security guarantee is less binding than a Senate-approved mutual defense treaty. The intrigue: The order was signed on Monday, the same day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House, but was only made public to days later. What it says: "[I]n light of the continuing threats to the State of Qatar posed by foreign aggression, it is the policy of the United States to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar against external attack".
But I thought the "Just Askin' Questions" Troika of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and now Megyn Kelly all opposed the US extending any military aid to Israel, not because they're anti-Jewish, but just on strict principle. Has nothing to do with Israel, they declare, it's just that we oppose all American intervention on behalf of any country.
