Joe Lieberman Blasts Chuck Schumer's Israel Election Meddling Attempts—'That's Outrageous' By Bob Hoge Remember Joe Lieberman? He was one of the last Democratic centrists. Although I wouldn’t have voted for Al Gore as president in 2000 if you’d hit me with a wet noodle, the fact a then-Democrat Connecticut senator (who later became an Independent before his 2013 retirement) was his running mate speaks volumes. Now that the Dems have veered wildly to the left and gone all in on their “progressive” agenda, realists like Lieberman have been left in the dust. But he’s still speaking out, to his credit. The first Jewish-American to appear on a presidential ticket lashed out at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) election-meddling speech from the Senate, where last Thursday he advocated for regime change in another democratic country – Israel. https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/03/18/joe-lieberman-blasts-chuck-schumers-israel-election-meddling-attemptsthats-outrageous-n2171534 .

Just Like Any Other Third World City, There's a Measles Outbreak in Chicago RICK MORAN Until the mid-20th century, measles was a leading killer of children. It's estimated that between 1 and 2 million Native Americans died of measles when Europeans first came to North America. Measles can still be a deadly disease. But with the advent of effective vaccines the number of cases has declined along with the 20% mortality rate seen in the early 20th century. It's just not a problem in First-World countries. Unless a First-World country is hosting millions of unvaccinated newcomers from Third-World countries In Chicago, there are now 12 confirmed cases of measles. Ten of the 12 originate from the Pilsen migrant shelter. One of the cases involved a three-year-old toddler. His mother says she's mystified how the youngster got the disease since he doesn't go to school. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/03/17/just-like-any-other-third-world-city-theres-a-measles-outbreak-in-chicago-n4927385 ,

I've Won an Argument about Israel I Wish I Hadn't DAVID BERNSTEIN Over my 20+ years of blogging at Volokh, commenters have often questioned why I focused my attention on what I saw as unfair attacks on Israel, rather than on Israeli policies I disagreed with that might be obstacles to a future peace deal. My response was consistent: debates over specific Israeli policies were a sideshow. Israel's harshest critics simply wanted Israel to cease to exist, and given that this goal could likely be achieved only via genocide, I chose to focus my attention on that. My commenters were also pretty consistent, arguing that I was being paranoid, that the vast majority of critics, even the harshest ones, wanted a two-state solution, not to eliminate Israel. We have had something of a test of this debate since 10/7. Hamas is a terrorist theocracy with explicitly genocidal goals. It carried out a taste of those goals on 10/7, and its leaders promised to repeat those atrocities again and again until the "Zionists" were driven from Israel. So whatever one thinks of Israeli policy, or Israel's eventual response to 10/7, one would think, based on my interlocutors' position, that critics of Israeli policy would nevertheless agree on one thing: Hamas must be deposed, one way or another. There is no plausible two-state solution with Hamas in power; the harsh critics are almost all self-styled progressives, and there is nothing progressive about Hamas's policies toward freedom of religion, LGBTQ rights, women, militarism, antisemitism, and so on, nor its constant theft of humanitarian aid. Hamas's rule in Gaza is essentially every Progressive's worst nightmare. Yet, ever since at least 10/10, when it became clear that Israel's reaction to Hamas's atrocities was not going to be to capitulate, the harsh critics have been all but unanimous in calling for Israel to essentially surrender ("immediate ceasefire") with Hamas still in power, and have almost to a person not called on Hamas to surrender and abdicate. (And self-styled human rights organizations have felt free to make up human rights law, including contradicting their own past public positions in other conflicts.) I have to admit that I underestimated the mendacity of these people. As much as I knew that they hated Israel much more than they were concerned with the well-being of Palestinians, I didn't imagine that they would be willing to run interference for, if not outright support, Hamas, certainly not after Hamas put its brutality and genocidal intentions on display for all the world to see. https://reason.com/volokh/2024/03/17/ive-won-an-argument-about-israel-i-wish-i-hadnt/ .

JOEL KOTKIN: 2024 will be the Latino election: America’s largest racial minority could swing the vote for Trump. “Latinos’ political trajectory is complex and increasingly uncertain. In the past, Democrats imagined that Latinos, being ‘people of colour’, would follow the African-American pattern of near-automatic allegiance to their party. Progressives in publications like Salon scoffed at the notion that Latinos would ever head to the right. But Latinos leaving the Democrats is exactly what has been happening.” https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/03/17/2024-will-be-the-latino-election/ .

Look at those poor "refugee children" Illegal Alien from Lebanon Caught at Border Admits He is Hezbollah, Hoped to Make a Bomb. An illegal alien from Lebanon was apprehended illegally crossing the southern border near El Paso, Texas by Border Patrol agents on March 9. Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was asked what he was doing in the United States. He said he was going to New York and hoped to make a bomb. "I'm going to make a bomb." He admitted he is a member of Hezbollah. During a sworn interview, Ebbadi said he trained with Hezbollah for seven years. He said he was an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/03/18/illegal-alien-from-lebanon-caught-at-border-admits-he-is-hezbollah-hoped-to-make-a-bomb-n3784874 Thanks, Joe Biden. .

TRUE. From Georgia to New York, 2024 could turn on the odor of selective prosecution The Hill, by Jonathan Turley For many citizens, mendacity, or dishonesty, is wafting from various courtrooms around the country. The odor is becoming intolerable for many Americans as selective prosecution is being raised in a wide array of cases. The problem is that courts have made it virtually impossible to use this claim to dismiss counts. Yet there is a disturbing level of merit to some of these underlying objections. For years, conservatives have objected that there is a two-tier system of justice in this country. I have long resisted such claims, but it has become increasingly difficult to deny the obvious as selective prosecution in a variety of recent cases and opinions. https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/4535603-from-georgia-to-new-york-2024-could-turn-on-the-odor-of-selective-prosecution/ .

Actually Biden said “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic” A clear message to divide Americans but your gibberish attempt at diversion was nice.

SATIRE ??

Democrats: Talking down to voters since the 60's. Rep. Gonzalez: Hispanic Trump Voters are Like “Jews for Hitler” KAREN TOWNSEND Rep. Vincente Gonzalez (D-TX) is running for re-election. The Democrat represents the 34th Congressional District of Texas which includes cities like Brownsville and McAllen. The district is heavily Hispanic. Republicans have been making progress in South Texas, which dates back to Donald Trump's term in office. Former Rep. Mayra Flores Vallejo is his Republican challenger. Mayra Flores Vallejo sent shock waves through South Texas when she won the district in a special election in 2020. She was the first Mexican-born Congresswoman in U.S. history. She was the first Republican elected in the district in 100 years. Flores Vallejo served five months and Gonzalez won the seat in 2022. Now the two are having a rematch. Donald Trump endorses Flores Vallejo. Her husband is a Border Patrol agent and border security is a big issue in her campaign. She is the mother of four children and campaigns to end indoctrination in schools. She is a social conservative warrior and Democrats despise her for it. The race between her and Gonzalez was very nasty in 2022 and it looks like it won't be any better this time around. Gonzalez is from McAllen. Last week in one of his snits, he compared Hispanic Trump supporters to "Jews for Hitler." Imagine being so out-of-touch that he would say such a disgusting thing, especially as the Israel-Hamas war rages on. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/03/17/rep-gonzalez-hispanic-trump-voters-are-like-jews-for-hitler-n3784849

And certain PPP'ers slurp it right up. How the Liberal Media Reacted to Trump’s Latest Comment Is Why Americans Have Lost Trust Sarah Arnold The radical left will use anything they can find to use against former President Trump, even if that means spinning the truth. On Saturday, during a campaign rally in Ohio, Trump predicted a financial “bloodbath” facing the U.S. motor industry if he is not elected, giving China the green light to flood the country with their products. Trump said: "If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now … you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it […] It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories." However, Trump’s comments were taken out of context and spun to look like he is promising a “bloodbath” if he is not elected in November. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/03/17/trump-bloodbath-comment-taken-out-of-context-n2636600 .
