On the official establishment cable mouthpiece of the American left, the talking heads aren’t even hiding the fact that the Democrats live and die by the anti-Semitic crowd in 2026 — and will in 2028, too.

In a discussion late Tuesday on CNN, several pundits weighed in on whom the Democratic Party will pick as its presidential nominee next time around, especially in light of Democratic socialists taking several key House primary races.

All of the DSA-backed candidates have one thing in common, aside from having not a whit of economic common sense: They don’t like Israel or its supporters, for reasons one can reasonably guess at. Sure, like most Jew-haters, they hide behind a veneer of “anti-Zionism,” but the base these candidates count on certainly seems to excuse violence by thugs who take their rage out on innocent Jews, while excoriating Jewish Democrats, even those who are mostly pro-Palestinian in outlook.

During the discussion, according to a transcript of “The Story Is with Elex Michaelson,” host Elex Michaelson said that “some of the of the fringes of the DSA, not everybody in the DSA, are certainly pretty close to anti-Semitism, if not anti-Semitism.” It’s a development he called “a little scary.”

“Sexual violence is a red line. We are withdrawing our endorsement and calling on him to withdraw from this race.”

Multiple Democrats have pulled their endorsements of Senate candidate Graham Platner following a new report released on Monday that revealed a woman who dated him alleged he raped her. The report is the latest in a string of scandals that the Maine Democrat has faced on the campaign trail.

Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego wrote, “The allegations against Graham Platner are troubling and deeply serious. I am rescinding my endorsement.”

There has been a surge of anti-Jewish violence and intimidation throughout the United States, from street assaults to harassment to blockades of events to assassinations at Jewish events.

The NY Post recently reported on a survey showing that 38% of American Jews hide their Jewish identity in public:

A majority of American Jews experienced antisemitism over the past year, with many changing their behavior out of fear, according to a survey released on Friday by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) ahead of the United States’ 250th anniversary.

DEI’s academic makeover – American Thinker– www.americanthinker.com

EXCERPT:

Academics in ivory towers have risen magnificently to the challenge of scrapping every visible vestige of DEI while mastering the art of rebranding. Better yet, in a heartwarming tribute to thrift (miracles do happen), they’ve even embraced recycling: Many of the programs remain in the same buildings, the same suite of offices, and often with the very same flag-waving, preference-based personnel. It’s just camouflaged under a shinier label.

One professor, who requested anonymity for fear of professional repercussions, summed up the makeover perfectly: “The campus eliminated DEI the same way my teenager cleans his room: Everything got shoved into a different closet.”

Experts criticize NIH for funding this research

The National Institutes of Health awarded nearly half a million dollars to study “gender-affirming care for BIPOC and rural gender diverse youth,” with some of that money coming after President Trump took office.

The most recent entry for the study shows the federal government spent $143,000 on the project in fiscal year 2025. However, another government database shows that taxpayers spent $428,296 on the research since April 2023.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality provided the funding to a study conducted by Dr. Gina Sequeira, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

DOGE cuts to USAID have worsened the Congo’s Ebola outbreak that has killed 500, experts warn– fortune.com

More than 500 people have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a result of the ongoing Ebola outbreak, as experts say cuts to international aid have hampered the country from containing the virus.

There have been 1,561 recorded cases of Ebola, including 506 deaths, since the disease’s outbreak was declared on May 15, according to DRC’s Ministry of Health. The World Health Organization deemed the first month of the Ebola outbreak the worst on record, and slowing the virus’s spread has been complicated by the lack of treatments for Bundibugyo, the strain behind the most recent Ebola outbreak.

The International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian aid organization, previously said severe cuts to global aid weakened frontline healthcare and preparedness systems, leaving the Congo with a more fragile health system now than during the 2018-2020 outbreak that killed more than 2,000 individuals.

“The warning signs are flashing red,” Bob Kitchen, vice president of emergencies at IRC, said in a statement. “Increased conflict and cuts to global aid funding have dismantled defenses at exactly the wrong moment. The lesson from every previous outbreak is clear: delays cost lives. The risks are growing and the resources are shrinking; that is the brutal arithmetic facing global aid today.”

Sometimes the great verities are pretty straightforward. For example, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop,” an observation made famous by economist Herb Stein. Let’s stick with that one, given its sensible application to the Trump administration’s current quasi-licensing regime for frontier AI models. The effort has proven to be a vibey, ad hoc process that The Economist correctly describes as “opaque, unpredictable—and unsustainable.” Good news that a more structured process apparently is coming soon.

The Financial Times reports that, as early as this week, the White House will roll out “voluntary standards for the release of new models” that would “set benchmarks for models with cutting-edge cyber capabilities and establish release timelines in an effort to streamline future launches.” What’s more, the guidelines would clarify “who is able to access advanced models, both domestically and abroad, in a move that could set the stage for a global framework including US allies.” Definitely seems less haphazard, I’ll give it that.

This weekend, America marked the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Across the country, millions gathered for parades, fireworks, and family celebrations filled with genuine joy and pride. Yet July 4, 2026, also served as a stark litmus test for the political soul of our nation. How our leaders and parties responded to this milestone reveals exactly what they would do if handed real power in Congress, especially the House of Representatives, this November.

President Trump and the broader MAGA movement delivered the kind of unapologetic celebration America deserves. On the National Mall, Trump addressed the nation in a rousing speech that honored our heroes, celebrated our unmatched history, and declared the American Dream is back.

President Donald Trump delivered a historic speech commemorating America’s 250th birthday at Mount Rushmore on Friday, giving a stark warning about the country’s future: If we are to sustain the nation for another 250 years, communism can have “no quarter” here.

Speaking hours after New York City communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivered an anti-American, communist speech about America 250, Trump took the stage to warn that foreigners are bringing with them ideologies fundamentally at odds with our republic.

“There is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success,” Trump said.

Virginia Gov. Condones Increase Of Socialists Taking Over The Democratic Party– www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:

Slowly but surely, the DSA is taking over the Democratic Party one primary at a time. The problem with this is that most places are New York City. Sensible Americans don’t take kindly to their country being taken over by evil, naive fools. This is why Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger should have been more opposed to this takeover of her party, but she is welcoming all of it under the guise of being a so-called “big tent party.”

When Spanberger was asked if she was “concerned that the left is gaining power in your party,” she responded by stating, “I’m of the opinion that we are a big tent party; we’ve always been a big tent party.” It is unclear what this means, but we can assume she welcomes all diversity of thought, no matter how evil it is, so long as it does not benefit the other side. That will never be in the best interest of Americans, and there should be more outrage over this lack of outrage.

What is so astonishing is that so many leftist leaders are not objecting to newly elected officials working to undermine the integrity of this country. These are people who wish to turn this nation into the Third World, and the fact that this is condoned under the guise of a big tent will never be morally superior.

Utah prosecutors brought expert witnesses to the stand to testify about their involvement with the police work surrounding the assassination at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Sept. 10, 2025. They also presented multiple exhibits, including affidavits, video footage, and images. Nearly every exhibit was admitted into the trial over the objections of Robinson’s attorneys, but in one case the judge said alterations made to a compilation of videos made it inadmissible.

In August 2021, Florida woman Precious Bland drowned her 15-month-old and stabbed her husband who tried to stop her along with her teen daughter. After she was arrested and put on trial nearly five years later, she pled insanity, claiming that she had a “psychotic break” due to the stresses of Covid. At the time of the drowning she allegedly screamed, “Jesus Christ is coming, and Covid is going to kill us all!” The judge of this case, Miguel de la O, apparently found this argument persuasive and acquitted Bland.

Typically, the story would end there. Time and again, a psychotic murderer commits a heinous crime, stands before a liberal judge and claims insanity, receives mental health treatment, and is then released back into the public so that they can have more “psychotic breaks” that harm innocent people.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told staff that the company’s effort to replace human workers with AI agents is moving slower than expected, even after the tech giant cut thousands of jobs and reorganized aggressively around artificial intelligence.

The admission came during an internal town hall after months of restructuring at Meta.

Earlier this year, the company cut roughly 10% of its workforce and reassigned about 7,000 employees into new AI-focused roles.

Those moves were framed internally as urgent, as Meta raced to compete with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and other major players in the artificial intelligence arms race.

Researchers say it can “grow, replicate its genome, divide, and undergo selection and competition across multiple generations.”

The breakthrough could open the door to a new era of biotechnology in which synthetic organisms are built from scratch and programmed to carry out specific tasks.
