Just like the German Jews who licked the boots of the Nazis thinking they would be spared:

Chilling: Nazi Party representatives attend 1933 Berlin Jewish Community Charity Drive gathering

The mainstream Jewish groups in the United States are utterly and completely useless. They wont mobilize Jewish voters in New York City to reject the virulent anti-Semite Zohran Mamdani. A man who if elected mayor of New York City would represent a profound danger to New York City’s Jewish population. Instead, America’s Jewish groups shamefully send $1 million to Gaza, and condemn members of the Israeli government who rightfully reject a ‘Palestinian’ terror state in the heart of Israel.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday confirmed the U.S. government is vying for a 10% stake in Silicon Valley pioneer Intel in an unusual deal that would deepen the Trump administration’s financial ties with major computer chip manufacturers and punctuate a dramatic about-face from the president’s recent push to oust the company’s CEO.

The ambitions that Lutnick confirmed in a televised interview with CNBC came the day after various news outlets reported on the negotiations between the Trump administration and Intel. The investment would be made by converting federal government grants previously pledged under President Joe Biden’s administration into a bushel of Intel stock that would turn the U.S. government into one of the company’s largest shareholders.

Former President Barack Obama is supporting California’s mid-cycle redistricting effort as a “responsible approach” to Republicans drawing new maps in Texas.

Obama praised California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ballot measure proposal to redraw congressional districts and tilt at least five congressional districts in the state towards Democrats at a fundraiser on Tuesday for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

“I believe that Governor Newsom’s approach is a responsible approach,” he said, according to excerpts obtained by POLITICO. “I think that approach is a smart, measured approach, designed to address a very particular problem in a very particular moment in time.”

Resurrecting longstanding complaints about how U.S. elections are run, President Donald Trump this week reiterated that he wants faster election results, but doesn’t want voting machines.

In Aug. 18 remarks at the White House, Trump said that a forthcoming executive order will “end mail-in ballots” and change voting machines.

Trump continued, “The machines, I mean, they say we’re going to have the results in two weeks. With paper ballots, you have the results that night.”

‘Nothing more than a fear tactic’ by Trump

The Georgetown University Student Association and College Democrats aren’t happy that federal agents “appeared to be present” on campus last week.

According to the student paper The Hoya, the presence of the feds appeared confirmed by photos “obtained and reviewed” by the paper, as well as a statement by the student government.

Trump’s “police federalization” and deployment of the National Guard in the nation’s capital began August 11. It includes roughly 850 federal officials to work with local law enforcement.

Immigration enforcement authorities rescued 27 human-trafficking victims in Nebraska last week. Among the victims Immigration and Customs Enforcement rescued were 10 children under the age of 12, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Our brave ICE law enforcement rescued these children and women, who were being sexually exploited and trafficked,” said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant DHS secretary.

The human-trafficking ring was being run by illegal aliens, according to the DHS.

Amid starvation imposed by Israel on Gaza and deadly bombings in Ukraine, President Donald Trump’s narcissism is reaching new heights.

“I’ve done six wars, I’ve ended six wars,” he claimed on Monday in a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, taking credit for settling conflicts that the US began or saw little to no American involvement in their resolutions. Elsewhere in the Oval Office meeting, Trump forced guests to a viewing of hats emblazoned with “4 more years.”

Such stunning self-regard was once again on display Tuesday as Trump praised accused war criminal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as a “war hero” over his approval of Israel’s June airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and then gave some love to himself. “I guess I am, too,” Trump told the conservative radio host Mark Levin despite having never fought in combat. “Nobody cares. But I am [a war hero] too. I mean, I sent those planes.” Similar omissions abounded throughout the conversation, with no mention of bone spurs or Trump’s public denigration of the late Sen. John McCain and Gold Star families.

“We can still take care of this for you.”

These were the words a young woman heard from her obstetrician as they looked at an ultrasound image of her baby at about seven months’ gestation. The baby already weighed more than five pounds.

The conversation took place in Maryland, where there are no limits on abortion and where Medicaid foots the bill. It’s not possible to know why a doctor would make such a suggestion to a woman so far along in her pregnancy, but the price tag for a third-trimester abortion can be $10,000 or more.

President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska in a historic attempt to end the more than two-year war between Ukraine and Russia. Since Russia’s 2022 invasion, tens of thousands have died, while millions have been displaced. The Alaska summit marked the first serious step toward direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.

But for ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and the rest of the propaganda press, a Trump-negotiated peace itself was a problem. Instead of acknowledging the significance of Trump’s diplomacy, Raddatz spent her Sunday segment disparaging the president for daring to treat Putin like a foreign leader who can choose to keep the war going rather than a pariah.

“What Attorney General Barr testified in there was that he never had conversations with President Trump pertaining to a client list,” said Comer. “He didn’t know anything about a client list.”

Moreover, according to Comer, Barr testified that he never had conversations with the president about an Epstein list and was never aware of such a list’s existence. Barr admitted that he “didn’t know anything about a client list.” He also emphasized that if there had been anything alarming about Trump in such files, it would most likely have been leaked by the Biden administration.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said that roughly three-quarters of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division staff have departed since she took office, citing a shift in enforcement priorities and a federal retirement package during a segment for Breitbart News Sunday.

Dhillon, who was sworn in earlier this year, noted that about 200 of the division’s 400-plus attorneys accepted a government-wide retirement package in her second week in office. She added that another 100 lawyers resigned in the following months, leaving the division down “75 percent” of its prior workforce. Dhillon explained the department is now working to rehire attorneys “who want to do the work as Congress wrote the laws and the courts interpreted the laws.”

In a win for free speech and the pro-life movement, the criminal case against a 75-year-old Scottish grandmother for holding a sign in a censored area has been dropped.

Rose Docherty, a native of Glasgow and a pro-lifer, was the first person arrested under Scotland’s newly enacted buffer zone law. She was detained on February 19, 2025, outside Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for standing quietly with a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” The government characterized her actions as a “silent vigil” and an “anti-abortion protest,” though her sign said nothing about the topic.

In the days before the August 5 primary election in the troubled city of Hamtramck, Michigan, surveillance videos caught several people allegedly stuffing the municipal ballot drop box with suspicious ballots.

An August 1 video shows two men in a car handling stacks of ballots and placing them into Hamtramck’s drop box during the day. In another video, a pickup truck arrives at the drop box after dark with three people inside. The driver gets out of the truck and crams stacks of ballots into the box but has trouble because the box is so full.

Stuffing drop boxes while no one watching for cheaters is a recipe for election corruption. That is why President Donald Trump announced this week he will lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, which can be cast by using a drop box. Trump also wants to stop using voting machines and return to voting with paper ballots.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that California’s sanctuary state policies are to blame for a deadly collision that involved a semi-truck and a minivan on the Florida Turnpike in Fort Pierce, last week.

A commercial tractor-trailer driven by an illegal alien was heading northbound in the right lane of the turnpike as a Chrysler Town & Country minivan was traveling north in the Turnpike’s left lane, Fox-13 reported.

From the right lane, the semi-truck attempted to make a U-turn at an “official use only” turn-around area, crossing directly in front of vehicles in the left lane.

The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health accepts black applicants at a rate six times higher than it does Asian applicants, despite lower average Medical College Admissions Test scores, a medical advocacy group recently reported.

However, the public university denied that it accepts applicants based on their race when contacted by The College Fix.

The report “Skirting SCOTUS Part III: How Medical Schools Continue to Practice Racially Conscious Admissions” by Do No Harm analyzed 2024 admissions data from 23 medical schools, including the University of Wisconsin’s.

At the Wisconsin medical school, it found that “a black applicant has nearly 10 times the odds of admission compared to an Asian or white applicant with the same MCAT score and GPA.”

Elon Musk is quietly slowing down his effort to create a third party and is considering backing Vice President JD Vance in 2028, sources familiar with the billionaire’s plans told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in a Tuesday report.

After a public blow-up with President Donald Trump over the “Big, Beautiful, Bill,” Musk announced he was creating a third party called the “America Party.” Since, Musk has hardly mentioned the third party effort on X. Sources told the WSJ that Musk has told allies he has been focused on maintaining a relationship with Vance while he weighs going all in on the “America Party.”

Vance has never spoken with Musk about 2028, but the VP has encouraged him to support Trump and Republicans in the 2026 midterms, sources familiar with the situation told the Daily Caller.

Everything, and I mean everything, spewed by the Jew hating leftist/Islamic alliance is a lie. “Jewish Voices for Peace” is actually “Muslim Voices for Genocidal Jew Killing.”

 Jew-hating jihadi Berkeley professor Hatem Bazian is an infamouse anti-semite.

Hatem Bazian is the founder of the anti-Israel organizations Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). As of March 2021, he served as AMP chairman.

Bazian has spread classic anti-Semitism, reportedly promoted religious anti-Semitism, denied Jewish peoplehood and Jewish history and has compared Israel to Nazi Germany. Bazian has also shown support for and attended pro-Hamas student encampments in 2024.

Democrats insist Washington, D.C., doesn’t face a crime problem.

On a podcast last week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D–NY, claimed, “I walk around all the time. I wake up early in the morning … And I feel perfectly safe.” He dismissed Republican concerns about safety as “full of it,” but, of course, Schumer doesn’t go anywhere without his security detail. In a similar vein, D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen called the federalization of law enforcement “unnecessary, unwarranted,” and the D.C. Council emphasized that crime rates are at “the lowest rates we’ve seen in 30 years.”

If recent reports are true, Sen. Adam Schiff could have some explaining to do. According to newly-released documents, a Democratic whistleblower told the FBI that Schiff approved leaking classified information regarding the alleged Russiagate scandal to smear President Donald Trump. According to the report:

“When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer’s name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF. In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”
