World leaders reacted Thursday morning to the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., as the Israeli government blamed the attack on “antisemitic incitement” by other countries, “especially from Europe.”

Washington’s chief of police said the suspect in the attack, identified as a Chicago man, shouted “free, free Palestine,” as he was taken into custody.

The victims were identified as a young couple, Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.

“These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW! Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA,” President Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social platform. “Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!”

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said she was “shocked by the shooting of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC.”

JERUSALEM: Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused unnamed European officials on Thursday (May 22) of “toxic antisemitic incitement” he blamed for a hostile climate in which the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington took place.

Israel has faced a blizzard of criticism from Europe of late as it has intensified its military campaign in Gaza, where humanitarian groups have warned that an 11-week Israeli blockade on aid supplies has left the Palestinian enclave on the brink of famine.

Saar did not name any countries or officials but said the climate of hostility towards Israel was behind the shooting of the embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday.

Saar, at a news conference in Jerusalem, said the attack was a direct outcome of “toxic antisemitic incitement against Israel and Jews around the world” since Hamas militants’ cross-border attack on Israel in October 2023.

“There is a direct line connecting antisemitic and anti-Israel incitement to this murder,” he said. “This incitement is also done by leaders and officials of many countries and organisations, especially from Europe.”

US President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to forcefully confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing the country of failing to address Trump’s baseless claim of the systematic killing of white farmers.

In an astonishing display, Trump even dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a far-left politician singing a song with the lyrics “kill the farmer.”

He also reviewed news articles to emphasise his argument, stating that the nation’s white farmers have encountered “death, death, death, horrible death.”

Trump had previously terminated all US aid to South Africa and extended a welcome to numerous white South African farmers, granting them refugee status in the United States, while advocating the notion that a “genocide” is unfolding in the nation.

The 47th US president has initiated a series of allegations against the Black-led government of South Africa, asserting that it is confiscating land from white farmers, implementing policies that are discriminatory towards whites, and adopting a foreign policy that is antagonistic towards Washington.

Which is worse: murdering people or a discussion attempting to end murders?

The shameless propaganda press heaped criticism on President Donald Trump on Wednesday for daring to talk with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa about alleged genocide in his country, reported by white South African farmers seeking refuge in the United States.

With coordinated messaging, the mighty propaganda brotherhood portrayed honest communication as a bad thing, calling the conversation an “ambush” over “debunked conspiracy theories.”

Minutes after the meeting, The New York Times characterized it as “contentious.” It wasn’t. Both Trump and Ramaphosa were polite and courteous throughout the discussion. The Times filed the story so quickly that it had no time to investigate. But it was still able to assert that Trump made “false genocide claims.”

If you want to understand where the left’s obsession with racial “equity” and “reparations” leads to, look no further than South Africa — where white farmers are allegedly being murdered and face discrimination for the crime of being white. But good luck finding honest coverage of what’s transpiring there in the corporate media, which are hellbent on covering up or dismissing the reality so that Americans don’t begin to question the real goal of the left’s racial resentment agenda.

A new law in South Africa means white farmers could have their land taken away without being paid for it. As I previously reported, “Though framed as a correction to apartheid-era injustice, the law has created an environment where racially motivated persecution may become institutionalized.”

Meanwhile, murders are commonplace, with white farmers having allegedly been targeted.

The murders are not random — they are part of a growing pattern of violence toward Afrikaners that South African officials don’t want to acknowledge and that Western media outlets actively work to obscure.

Twenty-four hours after the Sunday announcement that former President Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer, one of his staunchest supporters, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, said Monday he had yet to connect with him. Another close Hill ally, Sen. Chris Coons, had not spoken with his fellow Delawarean as of midafternoon Tuesday.

Biden’s longtime friend Bob Brady, the former House member from Pennsylvania who has known Biden for decades, said as of Tuesday afternoon that he hadn’t talked with the former president directly since his cancer diagnosis, though he did touch base Monday with his family. All three said they planned to speak with him soon.

Before his cancer diagnosis, Biden had been taking the train from Delaware to Washington, meeting with his post-presidential staff, allies and former Cabinet secretaries, according to a Biden aide granted anonymity to speak freely. In New York City for his appearance on “The View,” he met with former President Bill Clinton. And last week he met with Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a rising star in the party.

Bombshell Report Says Biden Clan Tried to Hide Other Cancer Diagnoses– www.westernjournal.com

When former President Joe Biden made a shocking health reveal on Sunday, the world mostly responded with sympathy.

Even Biden’s harshest critics had nothing but kind words and prayers for Biden and his family.

But once some of the dust settled on the initial shock of the harrowing announcement — Biden has an aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, typically a terminal diagnosis — other questions began cropping up.

Namely, how much did Biden’s inner circle know about this cancer, did they try to cover it up, and was the timing of this reveal deliberate?

Of note, Biden’s announcement came just days before the release of “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” a book co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson. The book, as its name suggests, is a damning critical look at the former president’s spiraling health issues and the ways in which his inner circle tried to hide it all.

It is time to stop pretending that the “pro-Palestinian” movement is anything but a pro-terrorist movement with people who are either malicious antisemites or the most gullible, ignorant bleeding hearts who consume every bit of terrorist propaganda put in front of them.

Two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday by a left-wing terrorist. The terrorist yelled, “Free, free Palestine!” after being detained and donned a keffiyeh. Too many on social media decided to call this “senseless violence” when, in reality, it makes all the sense in the world. Murdering Israeli civilians is what Hamas, which governs Gaza, does. Murdering Israeli civilians is what started this latest war, when Palestinians invaded Israel and massacred 1,200 Israeli men, women, and children. A pro-Palestinian terrorist gunning down two civilians in Washington, D.C., is a logical continuation of pro-Palestinian violence.

On Sunday it was revealed to the public that President Joe Biden had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Dr. Zeke Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC that it’s more likely Biden “had it while he was president.” That means that on top of the obvious cognitive impairment, Biden may have also been suffering from an aggressive cancer, further calling into question who was actually making key decisions during his administration.

Here are five of the most consequential decisions of the Biden presidency that, in light of this diagnosis, have many Americans asking whether Biden was truly the one behind them.

A graduation speech at George Washington University has resulted in the graduate being banned from the campus after she used the platform to criticize the university’s ties to Israel and express support for Palestinians.

During Saturday’s commencement for the Columbian College of Arts & Sciences, part of GWU in Washington, DC, graduating senior Cecilia Culver delivered remarks to the graduating class of nearly 750.

Culver condemned the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza, criticized GWU’s connections to Israel, and urged the audience to withhold donations from the college and push for financial transparency, as well as for the college to divest from Israeli-linked companies.

“I am ashamed to know my tuition [fee] is being used to fund this genocide,” Culver said from the stage. “I call upon the class of 2025 to withhold donations and continue advocating for disclosure and divestment.”

Joe Biden’s inner circle can’t stress this enough: Before last Friday, the former president had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Pinky swear.

A Biden spokesman “clarified” the “timeline” in a statement to multiple news outlets after widespread speculation that Biden’s Sunday cancer announcement wasn’t so much a new diagnosis as a new disclosure.

Even Democrat doctors came out of the woodwork this week to note that prostate cancer and metastasis to the bone don’t just happen overnight, meaning this cancer isn’t “new.” Either Biden and his team of elite health care practitioners are incompetent, or they covered up his diagnosis. So now his PR people are doing a full-court press to convince the suspicious public that Biden’s handlers aren’t lying liars who lie — they’re just really bad at their jobs.

This isn’t the only Democrat pinky swear of the week. Americans also got assurances from former FBI Director James Comey, who recently posted a threatening message to Donald Trump on Instagram in the form of a photograph of seashells spelling out “86 47.” We all know what that means. And considering a would-be assassin already shot Trump in the head and another tried to snipe him on the golf course, Comey’s message could credibly incite violence.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter Wednesday to five former Biden administration officials, calling them to appear before the committee for transcribed interviews.

“The cover-up of President Biden’s obvious mental decline is a historic scandal,” Comer said in a statement.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled off what many believed impossible, passing President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” omnibus bill in dramatic fashion early Thursday morning.

A 215-214 vote, largely on party lines, sends the signature tax cut legislation to the U.S. Senate where it will almost certainly go through extensive edits before being passed back down to the House for final passage.

Despite the hurdles ahead, Thursday’s passage is the latest sign that Johnson has proven to be the most adept Republican speaker in years, horse-trading with conservatives and blue-state Republicans over Medicaid cuts and SALT deductions with little room to spare. Still, he called in President Trump at the eleventh hour to promise swift retribution against anyone who tried to tank the bill.

“Don’t f**k with Medicaid,” Trump allegedly told the GOP caucus in a Wednesday meeting, Politico reported. The threat was largely directed at fiscal hardliners who told Johnson they planned to oppose the bill unless cuts were upped beyond the hundreds of billions of dollars already on the table.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice is launching a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, accused of lying about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington opened the inquiry into Cuomo close to a month ago after senior officials in the DOJ called for the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams to be dismissed, The New York Times reported.

The inquiry followed a call from Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, to prosecute Cuomo over statements he made to the committee investigating his management of the pandemic when the virus was running rampant in nursing homes.

In accordance with a Cuomo directive, more than 9,000 recovering COVID-19 patients were released from hospitals into nursing homes in New York state.

Will Iran kill nuclear negotiations with terrorist attacks in the West?– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump, who seeks to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, wants to secure a new nuclear agreement with that country. Trump’s motive is honorable. Difficult diplomacy is preferable to military strikes on Iran. But numerous complications stand in the president’s way, and perhaps none of these complications is more significant than the growing threat of Iranian terrorist attacks.

Yes, formalizing a viable Iran nuclear agreement represents a big challenge in and of itself. For one, Iran has engaged in more than two decades of deceptive conduct via its covert research of nuclear warheads. Any deal would thus need to ensure prompt inspection access to any sites suspected of being used to conduct illicit nuclear weapons research. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action had woefully inadequate safeguards in this regard.

Another difficulty arises in the Trump administration’s new insistence that Iran suspend all nuclear enrichment, even at very low purity levels, in return for any deal. This demand conflicts with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s belief that his Islamic Republic should be allowed to engage in some enrichment as a matter of honor. Khamenei might well regard the risks of U.S. military action as less concerning than the loss of prestige and regime confidence that would go with suspending all enrichment activities. Allowing Iran to maintain its nuclear facilities, albeit in a nonoperational status, might allow the regime to save face. But probably not.

The Biden administration “downplayed” and “delay[ed]” warnings about risks associated with receiving the mRNA Covid vaccines, according to a new congressional report released Wednesday.

Published by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the analysis’ findings are based on records forfeited by the Trump Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in compliance with requests issued by the subcommittee’s chair, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. As noted in the document, the interim report is “a culmination of a multi-year fight to overcome the obstruction of the Biden administration to get unredacted records and data about the COVID-19 pandemic and the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.”

According to the subcommittee, the more than 2,473 pages of records disclosed by the Trump administration show how Biden administration officials sought to “downplay and delay warning the public about the risks of myocarditis associated with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.”

A timeline laid out in the report documents how, throughout the early months of 2021, U.S. health officials began receiving data and reports about vaccinated individuals experiencing myocarditis and other cardiac-related adverse events after receiving the Covid shots. These reports came from domestic entities, as well as the Israeli Ministry of Health, which informed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “in late February 2021 of large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine.”
