EL-SAYED, A SUPPORTER OF HAMAS TERRORIST KILLERS WINS PRIMARY IN MICHIGAN

 Although Republicans think El-Sayed will be defeated in November I find this DSA trend solidly entrenched within the walls of the Democrat Party to be beyond alarming. It is no longer an aberration.

AIPAC spent over $31 million to defeat this Hamas inclined political imposter.

El-Sayed’s victory is an exceptionally narrow one, but the Squad, Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Hasan Piker  and their fellow travelers will be feeling vindicated and doubtless have already popped the champagne corks.

In Michigan Trump defeated Harris by only 1.4% and Slotkin defeated Rogers by a mere .3% of the vote in 2024 so Michigan is still a swing state. A minor amount of voter fraud could ensure a DSA victory there in November.

Sickeningly, the drumbeat against Israel is getting louder. Bizarrely, all candidates on the Left have to do to receive applause is to say they won’t take any money from AIPAC. If they follow that by saying Israel is committing genocide in Gaza the applause turns into a standing ovation.

In the meantime, the Democrats have shown us that power at any price is acceptable. Casting aside their standards, trampling on their principles and vandalizing their moral compass they have supported the most verminous anti-American and Marxist candidates who want to transform America into a country more aligned with the Communist manifesto, a country with a national anthem nobody sings and a flag nobody salutes.

 It is just not possible to support these vile candidates and keep telling us that they are protecting our democracy and honoring our constitution and its attendant Bill of Rights. They will lie, cheat, steal, destroy and, if necessary, murder their way into permanent political power. They have become lethal enemies of the people they claim to represent.

Remember, “One may smile and smile and be a villain.”

THE UNFATHOMABLE DARKNESS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

 Melanie Phillips’ article is a master class in how historical and political truth has been and is being distorted by deliberate misinformation, disinformation, crass falsifications, fantastic inventions and lies the size of Jupiter. Clearly, a commitment to historical revision dulls one’s sense of contradiction, but it helps one to pole-vault from one false conclusion to another. 

Yesterday at their Synod the Church of England, of which His Majesty King Charles III is the Supreme Governor, issued a rebarbative Israel-bashing and Jew-hating declaration called, “ A Moment of Truth: Faith In A Time of Genocide.”  It succeeded in adding duplicity to the incomprehensible. 

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, fully embraced the Synod’s declaration. As yet it is not known whether her uncritical enthusiasm was due to her religious and political bias or to her dyslexia. Nevertheless, out popped the cloven hoof. The grudging toleration and murderous hostility towards the Jewish people by the Church of England has been revealed and is now on full display.

A good deal of hypocrisy, an anxious attempt to repeal history and a slippery foothold on the truth are all required to make the Synod’s declaration into a plausible argument.

It has been said that one of the ways to avoid being charged with offenses against truth and morality is to have the word “Reverend” placed before one’s name. Nice try Archbishop Mullally, but you are the living embodiment of Benjamin Franklin’s observation that inclination is too strong for reason. Your inclination is to demonize the Jewish people whose one despairing wish is to live at peace with her neighbors something that has eluded them for hundreds of years before Israel was reconstituted in just part of its ancient and historical homeland in 1948.

WARREN BUFFETT’s WIFE & THE PRICE OF A CUP OF COFFEE

 If Mrs. Buffett's frugality reported below is true she ought to be ashamed of herself. The former Astrid Menks is married to one of the world's greatest investors with an estimated net worth of a staggering $144 billion.

The report states she was taken aback at the $4.00 price for a cup of coffee. So far, she has not complained about the price of over $18.00 per pound for a box of SEE'S candy. Her husband's company, Berkshire Hathaway, has owned SEE'S Candy since 1972 and has steadily increased prices to the point where they are now extortionate even to a chocaholic like me.

I happen to know Astrid. During the late 1970s she was my favorite waitress at the French Cafe in Omaha's Old Market district. I often used to take my girlfriends there in an effort to impress them. It was a time in my life when I lived in greatly seduced circumstances.

Apparently, she met Warren Buffett at the French Cafe who, it has been said, tips 15%. My tips always exceeded that amount to the extent that the accumulated sum would now allow Astrid to comfortably afford $4.00 for a cup of coffee.

For decades personal expenditure has been irrelevant to her and her husband, so I was shocked and disappointed that she would be upset about the price of a cup of coffee. Apart from having to see Warren naked Astrid is the luckiest woman in the world, but she seems to have forgotten that.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID

 This comparison between what President Trump first said publicly about his goals for the war with Iran and what he is saying now is beyond alarming as well as a national embarrassment.

It’s almost as if he has been secretly injected with a virulent self-sabotaging serum for which there is no antidote. 

The man is on a romp of fantasy. What else does the mendacious, brutal, murderous, genocidal Islamic supremacist regime in Tehran have to do to convince the president that it must be eliminated?

Will this realization come during the regime's 48th. year of tormenting its own people and threatening western civilization with annihilation or will he, Vance, Kushner and the hopelessly incompetent Witkoff continue to treat us as if we possessed the kind of imbecile credulity that would make an African witch doctor positively green with envy?

Before the talks that are supposed to occur during the next 60 days the president and his team should remember the first line from the recipe for pigeon pie: "First, kill the pigeon."

Trump's goals for the Iran war and what he's saying now:

Washington — Hours after the U.S. launched its war against Iran in late February, President Trump laid out an aggressive list of war aims. He pledged to "destroy their missiles," prevent the regime from rebuilding its nuclear program and set the stage for Iranians to "take over" the country's government.

A week into the conflict, he wrote on Truth Social: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"

Now, as the Trump administration touts a newly signed memorandum of understanding to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and jumpstart nuclear talks, the president has backed off some of those ambitions. 

Mr. Trump told reporters this week it's "OK" for Iran to keep some of its ballistic missiles. He said he isn't in a hurry to recover Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and isn't vying for "regime change" in Iran. The memorandum of understanding also leaves most specifics on the fate of Iran's nuclear program to be determined in additional negotiations over the next 60 days.

The president also shared some praise for Iran's current leadership.

"We're dealing with people that I think are very rational people, and they were nice to deal with," Mr. Trump said of Iran's current leadership during an event at the G7 summit in France on Tuesday, noting that some prior Iranian leaders were killed during the war. "They were strong people, smart people. … They're not radicalized and they're looking to help their country." 

Here's what the president and top administration officials have said about key issues related to Iran, then and now:

TRUMP’s SURRENDER

 Sadly, I must agree with Melanie Phillips who has brought all of her penetrating insights to the article posted below.I was appalled at Trump’s remarks about the verminous al-Sharaa who is a vicious Islamic terrorist, Jew-hating killer and not to be trusted under any circumstances.    

When President Trump made Steve Witkoff our special envoy in the region I knew at once when he said that the so-called Palestinians just wanted a better life for themselves and their families that he did not understand the hydraulic grip of the genocidal ideology on their minds. He was, therefore, out of his depth and unfit for his office. Since then something has gone terribly wrong particularly since March.

Qatar, a fabulously rich Islamic supremacist country with a population of just 3 million people has had a vastly disproportionate influence over events. Why?

The answer to that question, I strongly suspect, will reveal that our leaders have been steadily seduced and subverted in their sworn duties by the unrelenting amiable malice of a determined Islamic ideology with all of its ferocious hatreds that seek the ruin of western civilization.
