Ilhan Omar's defense of antisemitism

When it comes to defending antisemitism, Rep. Ilhan Omar, (DFL- MN) will do virtually anything to defend the indefensible. During a hearing of the House Education Committee, Omar responded to a video showing "anti-Israel protesters [preventing] a Jewish student wearing a Star of David necklace from walking on campus." Rep. Omar asked UCLA Chancellor Gene Block "whether the student would still be able to access the campus via other routes."

Omar asked Chancellor Block "Chancellor Block, just for clarification, that video we just watched, we saw people moving around. Was it possible, do you think, for that student to be able to get into campus? Was that student actually being blocked from entering campus?" What type of idiotic argument is that? 

Would Rep. Omar, (DFL-MN), make the same argument if some Jewish students intimidated Kafiyah-wearing Palestinians and prevented the Palestinians from getting to class? Omar wouldn't put up with that for a New York split-second. One of the U.S. Constitution's great protections is equal protection under the law. It protects Jew, Gentile and Palestinian equally. Here's the video of the Jewish student being stopped:

This isn't what peaceful protests look like:

Taking over a public building is a criminal act. Those people should be immediately arrested. In another instance, Kafiyah-wearing young people prevented reporters from reporting. That's a violation of that reporter's First Amendment right to freedom of the press. That's another criminal action that Rep. Omar is defending.

From that short video, Rep. Omar defended 2 criminal actions and the violation of a reporter's constitutionl rights in the furtherance of justification of letting well-financed antisemitic protests. Is that conduct appropriate for members of congress? I don't think so. Then there's this:

Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., slammed UCLA’s leaders for having “allowed their campus to become a severe and pervasive, hostile environment for Jewish students, standing by as students, faculty, and affiliates were assaulted and harassed. For days, the unlawful encampment’s checkpoints illegally denied students access to campus buildings," the North Carolina lawmaker added.

Foxx claimed that "Jewish students were attacked, harassed, and intimidated for walking on their own campus" and students were "denied a safe and uninterrupted learning environment."

It's time for UCLA to stop coddling these tyrants. Thus far, we've captured on film Palestinian protesters breaking laws and violating students' civil rights. I hope the Trump DOJ investigates these incidents, then prosecutes them whenever applicable.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
