By Frank Miele for RealClearPolitics “Death to America!” We are used to that chant. Maybe too used to it. If you are old enough, you heard it in 1979 during the Iranian hostage crisis when supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Since then, it has been a recurring theme of Islamic fundamentalism, along with “Death to Israel.” Khomeini even went so far as to declare the United States “The Great Satan” in order to goad Muslims into a religious fervor aimed at destroying America. Since then, we have heard “Death to America” shouted thousands of times around the globe ..read more

Hillary Clinton made shocking statements during a recent podcast in which she appeared to suggest that former President Donald Trump would like to “kill his opposition.” The former First Lady made that declaration during a conversation with Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias. She believes Trump will model his presidency after that of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do,” she claimed. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balan ..read more

Representative Ilhan Omar’s daughter was arrested on Thursday alongside a 108-strong anti-Israel mob as the NYPD dismantled a protest encampment at Columbia University. The incident occurred just hours after the Squad member’s wayward child was suspended from Barnard College for her role in the protest. The Daily Mail reports that Isra Hirsi had “a worried face” as she was placed in “flex cuffs” alongside many other sit-in pro-Palestine protesters. The protesters were issued a summons for trespassing and released, according to the NYPD. It felt really really horrific to be standing by and wa ..read more

By Brett Rowland (The Center Square) The International Monetary Fund warned the United States that government spending and increasing national debt are not sustainable and could hurt the global economy.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is forging ahead with a House vote this weekend to send tens of billions overseas. The $95 billion bill provides aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other American allies. Johnson (R-LA) posted on X that the bill would be broken up into separate votes. “The text of three bills that will fund America’s national security interests and allies in Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and Ukraine,” Johnson reportedly texted to other House members. A fourth vote will consider making Ukraine aid a loan, a potential nationwide ban on TikTok, new sanctions on Iran, and a measure allowing ..read more

Most conservative Republicans are very much against the over $60 billion in new Ukraine aid that the GOP and Democratic establishments desperately want. Especially considering the billions America has already spent there. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a great idea: House members who insist on voting for this aid can also go over there and fight in the Ukrainian military. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced an amendment requiring members to “conscript in the Ukrainian military” if they vote for the Ukraine supplemental bill. pic.twitter.com/n0SykKpA3I — Juliegrace Brufke (@julie ..read more

MSNBC host Joy Reid could hardly contain her excitement over the fact that several “DEI officials” are behind the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The acronym DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Critics of such policies suggest it is outright racism, using skin color or other demographics in hiring practices. In other words, affirmative action. Something the Supreme Court recently ended for college admissions. Reid, in a segment with fellow host Lawrence O’Donnell, says black attorneys going after Trump is “wonderfully poetic.” “But for me, there is something wonderfu ..read more

After a deadly school shooting tragedy in Nashville in March of 2023 that took six lives, the Tennessee House is looking at passing a bill that would let teachers carry a concealed gun this week.
