	There's a major asterisk next to this one because William Arkin had <a href="https://twitter.com/OrinKerr/status/1557464955602890753">formerly claimed</a> at Newsweek that his sources told him AG Garland hadn't approved the Mar-a-Lago raid.</p>

<p>
	And plenty of people got burned by that.</p>

<p>
	This story claims that the FBI raid <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-sought-documents-trump-hoarded-years-including-about-russiagate-1734280">targeted </a>specific documents.</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		"The&nbsp;FBI&nbsp;raid on Mar-a-Lago last Monday was specifically intended to recover&nbsp;Donald Trump's personal "stash" of hidden documents, two high-level U.S. intelligence officials tell&nbsp;Newsweek.</p>

	<p>
		To justify the unprecedented raid on a former president's residence and protect the source who revealed the existence of Trump's private hoard, agents went into Trump's residence on the pretext that they were seeking&nbsp;all&nbsp;government documents, says one official who has been involved in the investigation. But the true target was this private stash, which Justice Department officials feared Donald Trump might weaponize."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
	According to Arkin, these documents involved Russiagate.</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		"The sought-after documents deal with a variety of intelligence matters of interest to the former president, the officials suggest—including material that Trump apparently thought would exonerate him of any claims of Russian collusion in 2016 or any other election-related charges."</p>

	<p>
		"Trump was particularly interested in matters related to the Russia hoax and the wrong-doings of the deep state," one former Trump official tells&nbsp;Newsweek. "I think he felt, and I agree, that these are facts that the American people need to know." The official says Trump may have been planning to use them as part of a 2024 run for the presidency.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
	Is it true? Who knows. Arkin's sources were wrong about Garland. And that's a very basic thing. But it would provide a certain motive power for the controversy. It would explain why Trump wanted certain documents and why the Biden administration might want to seize them.</p>

<p>
	Of course just because something sounds plausible, doesn't mean that it's actually true.</p>

Did FBI Raid Seek "Exonerating" Russiagate Materials?

<p>
	The engine of Holocaust denial is a desire to kill Jews. Otherwise why bother?</p>

<p>
	There's a fringe of conspirazoids, the sorts of people who believe that the moon landing was faked,&nbsp;that UFOs can be found in your backyard, and that 9/11 was carried out by the NYPD, and that Bigfoot killed JFK who are attracted to Holocaust denial among the many other conspiracy theory options.&nbsp;But the big leagues of Holocaust denials are associated with Nazism and Communism because they both specialized in the extermination of Jews.</p>

<p>
	The "Palestinian" cause is a toxic inbreeding of Nazis and Communists.</p>

<p>
	The Muslim Brotherhood, key players in the Arab Revolt, got a lot of their techniques from the Nazis. And the Nazi influence was felt most strongly in Egypt. But the "Palestinian" cause was manufactured by the Soviet Union.</p>

<p>
	Mahmoud Abbas, the current dictator-for-life of the PLO, got his <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/abbass-untranslated-book-480751">Holocaust denial training</a> from the USSR. Abbas wrote it as a "student" in the Soviet Union as part of the&nbsp;Palestinian-Soviet Friendship Foundation which was itself <a href="http://www.thetower.org/article/how-holocaust-denial-shaped-mahmoud-abbas-worldview/">crossbred with Nazi propagand</a>a.</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		&nbsp;PA President Mahmoud Abbas is profoundly fascinated by Nazi propaganda and has employed it in his own writings, particularly in his doctoral dissertation on the subject of the Holocaust, “The Other Face: The Secret Connections Between Nazism and the Leadership of the Zionist Movement,” which he wrote in Moscow in 1982. Two years later, Abbas published a book based on his dissertation. It is written in Arabic and, tellingly, has never been translated into any other language.</p>

	<p>
		There is a reason for this: The book is inspired by and based on the work of Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust. While he was a fugitive in Argentina, Eichmann formulated and disseminated Nazi propaganda according to which the Holocaust was a Jewish-Nazi conspiracy that sacrificed Jewish lives in order to create a Jewish state in Palestine.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
	So what did the Germans really expect when they invited the head of a terror group responsible for the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-714943">Munich Massacr</a>e?</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		At a news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Abbas was asked by a reporter whether he plans to apologize to Israel and Germany for the 1972 Munich massacre, ahead of its 50th anniversary. Eleven members of the Israeli delegation and a German police officer were murdered after members of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September, which was linked to&nbsp;Abbas’s Fatah party, took hostages at the Olympic Village on September 5, 1972.&nbsp;</p>

	<p>
		“If we want to go over the past, go ahead,” Abbas responded in Arabic. “I have 50 slaughters that Israel committed... 50 massacres, 50 slaughters, 50 holocausts,” saying the last word in English.</p>

	<p>
		While Scholz could be seen wincing at Abbas’s Holocaust reference, he did not immediately rebuke the Palestinian president, although he had earlier rejected his use of the word “apartheid” to describe Israeli policies.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
	Scholtz has since tepidly condemned Abbas' Holocaust denial.</p>

<p>
	The debate about Holocaust denial is less important than the motive for it. Abbas responded to his role in the massacre of Jews with Holocaust denial. That's typical. It's the essence of the purpose that Holocaust denial is meant to serve.</p>

<p>
	The "Palestinian" cause is about finishing the work that the Nazis began. It's why Hitler is so widely admired in the Palestinian Authority. "Palestinian" Holocaust denial, like most kinds, is about paving the way for justifying the future murder of Jews.</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		A school district in suburban Fort Worth, Texas, has ordered its librarians to remove an illustrated adaptation of “The Diary of Anne Frank” from their shelves and digital libraries, along with the Bible and dozens of other books that were challenged by parents last year...</p>

	<p>
		“Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation,”&nbsp;by Israeli filmmaker Ari Folman and illustrator David Polonsky, is a 2019 illustrated adaptation of the bestselling diary by the teenage Holocaust victim.&nbsp;The New York Times called the book&nbsp;“so engaging and effective that it’s easy to imagine it replacing the [original] ‘Diary’ in classrooms and among younger readers.”&nbsp;</p>

	<p>
		The parental challenge against the book came in February, and the district initially dismissed it, Hawes said. Hawes, who is not Jewish, is on a list of parents who can be called in to serve on a committee to review book challenges.</p>

	<p>
		“When we got ‘The Diary of Anne Frank,’ we thought, ‘This is a joke.’ But it wasn’t,” Hawes said, adding that the complaint was that “the book shouldn’t be read without parent supervision.” She suspected that the parent may have objected to the unabridged diary’s references to female genitalia,&nbsp;same-sex attraction&nbsp;and&nbsp;other sexual matters, which&nbsp;have been deemed “pornographic” by parental challenges in the past. But she couldn’t be sure because the parent who challenged the book didn’t show up to the meeting.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
	This is not Anne Frank's diary.</p>

<p>
	This is a comic book based on a version of the diary that neither Anne nor her father wanted published.</p>

<p>
	I've written about the abuse of Anne Frank's legacy multiple times. There's the famous play that eliminated her Jewishness. There's also the 'unabridged' diary. This is material that Frank wrote when she was younger that she then got rid of. Her father respectfully edited the diary when he fulfilled her wish to have it published. After his death, the "unabridged" diary containing sexual materials that neither the dead girl nor her father wanted to publish was gleefully put out there.</p>

<p>
	The material that parents objected to in&nbsp;“Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation”, even assuming it's true to the unabridged version (I have no idea if it is) was also the material that Anne's older self censored and that her father got rid of. It doesn't belong in schools and shouldn't be in public view. It's an insult to her memory.</p>

<p>
	Not everything people write as 13-year-olds should be out there. Nor should they be forced to live with it after death.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	The publishing interests pushing this claim that they have some moral right to dig up and publish material that Anne did not want out there for the "greater good".</p>

<p>
	Getting it out of libraries and out of publication is a very good thing because it's effectively stolen material that was never meant for publication. It's no different than publishing sexual materials or photos of any other deceased person&nbsp;that they would have not wanted in the public realm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	Exploiting the Holocaust to push a sexual agenda in schools is despicable. And using stolen writings from a murdered Jewish girl to do so is equally so.</p>

<p>
	Anne Frank deserves better. So do our children.</p>

	This story involves Spider Man: Remastered, a game for Sony video game consoles that recently came to the personal computer. PCs have a vibrant modding community, much of which is based around a site known as 'Nexus'. While the game's fictional depiction of New York City contained the inevitable 'Pride' flags, a&nbsp;'modder' on that site reportedly figured out how to trigger an alternate graphic used in Muslim countries that would get rid of the flag. And he replaced the Pride flags with American flags.</p>

<p>
	Anyone downloading the 'mod' would be able to replace all the 'Pride' flags with the Stars and Stripes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	Despite hosting a variety of violent and sexual mods,&nbsp;Nexus, the modding site, responded by banning the 'modder' declaring that sort of thing isn't welcome here. The ban however has only made the mod <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/woup7g/nexus_mods_removes_spiderman_mod_that_replaces/">more popular </a>and it's being distributed across a variety of sites.</p>

<p>
	Here is the announcement that so-called neo-con Bill Kristol has just found solace in the arms of the saintly Democrats: Bill Kristol @Bill Kristol: “Not presumably forever, not perhaps for a day after Nov. 3, 2020…. But for the time being one has to say: We are all Democrats now.”</p>

<p>
	So, Bill Kristol is now identifying with and preferring the Democrat Party, which promotes the dangerous socialist dystopia; has 120 congressional members endorsing CAIR; is trending in an anti-Israel trajectory; refuses to condemn anti-Semitism in and of itself; accepts ANTIFA; attacks the traditional family and race-baits constantly; condemned our take-out of the foremost jihadist terrorist Soleimani; supports the Iran Deal and the $billions funding the mullahs; pushes for open and unprotected borders; and violated all the bedrock laws of due process in order to nullify the will of the electorate and destroy a President.</p>

<p>
	Someone lamented that Kristol has a good mind. So, what!; he seems to lack character and has used his mind for the last three years to severely damage our institutions, America itself, and has been a major engine in putting this country through Hell. Good minds are a dime a dozen, but are frightening when used to scheme and plot destruction. Kristol never knew when to stop the destruction he was causing this country.</p>

<p>
	He originally accused Donald Trump four years ago of not being conservative or pro-Israel. But, Trump has proven to be the most pro-Israel and pro-Jewish President we have ever seen and has implemented and espoused conservatism against greater odds than were faced even by Ronald Reagan, and is doing so with wondrous courage.&nbsp;Yet, Kristol has not been man enough or decent enough to admit that his prognostications about Trump have been shown to be wrong.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	When it became apparent almost four years ago that Kristol and his circle would not have influence nor be advisors to Donald Trump they turned against him like a woman scorned. But Trump was right to eschew their advice inasmuch as so much that Kristol &amp; Co. had pushed over the years was disastrous, drained the Treasury, and put too many American military lives in jeopardy and too many American jobs in the ash heap. Trump had a better vision for America than did Kristol and cohorts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	Bill Kristol and his allies are not the first people to have lost a job or a position in life. Nothing lasts forever. But, look how he reacted. He picked up his marbles and decided to work against our elected President, against the Republican Party, and demonstrated that his own ego and his own ambitions and self-regard were more important than continuity, our institutions, or any semblance of loyalty to those of us who have worked so hard for decades in the promotion of Republican and conservative ideals. Kristol did not originate the Coup, but he has fueled those in positions of power to continue the Coup and has undermined that which is more important than he, to wit, America and the American people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	He is politically a spoiled sport, selfish, and self-centered, and he has aligned himself with some unsavory people who none of us would have found acceptable.&nbsp;I suspect that, like many in his circle, he simply could not allow himself to be associated with someone he considers below his "respectability" standard. Such vanity and arrogance!</p>

<p>
	Besides, let it be said that Donald Trump actually represents some of the greatest characteristics of those things in life that truly matter: in true American fashion he says what he believes; he is forthright; and he believes in protecting people under his responsibility. He loves this country -- and puts its people first.&nbsp;He is not a snob. He fights for us. He has an intuitive gut feeling of what works and what will not work that is extraordinary. It is a God given gift. He is not lazy and shares his bounty with others. That might not sell among the academic snobs and the Georgetown social crowd that Kristol admires, but it means something to me and over 100 million other people. We’re darn happy to be living in the Trump era, with Donald Trump at the helm.</p>

<p>
	President Trump did the miraculous by taking a "country club" Party and turning it into the Party of the average American, the patriot, the tradesman and local businessman, and of the people who respect and love America with all their fiber.&nbsp;In contrast, Kristol belongs with the rest of the elitists, most of whom today are found in the Democrat Party: would-be overlords, cynical trans-nationalists, high-maintenance virtue-signalers, and the self-worshipers.</p>

<p>
	Kristol thinks he should be a member of the “ruling class”, like the Obamas, who consider themselves above and apart from the people, the “unwashed” below. The jobs of Americans, their livelihood and family dignity can be flushed away, in their mind, for the ersatz free-trade theories and agreements that made the ruling class and their kids wealthy.</p>

<p>
	I hope that he and Max Boot, David Frum, Jennifer Rubin and the other turncoats&nbsp;<em>never&nbsp;</em>come back to the Republican Party. All four have demonstrated over the last few years a nastiness, pettiness, sarcasm, bitterness, and disregard for former colleagues and the American people. Their egos negate any book learning they may have. Countries are neither built nor sustained by such self-centered, fair-weather players.</p>

<p>
	Bill Kristol and his pompous entourage are simply swamp creatures, part of the NYC-D.C. axis that imbibe a sense of forever entitlement as prime-time players and movers and shakers. But, no one ever elected them.</p>

<p>
	The truth is they were never Republicans, simply disillusioned former Democrats who thought they could take over the Republican Party. They thought we’d surrender our outlook and self-respect just to have them in our midst. They fancy themselves “intellectuals” and “better by ‘degrees’”. But, they weren’t conservatives, certainly not in the Russel Kirk sense, though many called themselves neo-cons. It was all a con. They even freaked out at the notion of American nationalism. Kristol has departed and so should with him the phony term neo-conservative.</p>

	Virtually every recent stabbing and attack on Jews in New York City and the metropolitan area has been perpetrated by a black, Hispanic or sympathizers with jihad. It is time for leaders of those communities to admit to anti-Semitism within their midst and STOP it. Time for truth telling. Perpetrators must be punished.</p>

<p>
	New York's extremely liberal politicians speak about anti-Semitism, but are not using anywhere near the force of law to bring these perpetrators to justice. In fact, we’re hearing that last week's attackers against Jews, who were black or Hispanic, have already been released and are back on the streets.</p>

<p>
	Much of the hatred against Jewish people is being fueled by jihadist talk, and yet, because of political correctness, authorities are not doing the pre-reconnaissance that common sense dictates.</p>

<p>
	We have heard the evasive platitudes about ‘extremism’, ‘intolerance’, ‘hate’, but what we are witnessing in these attacks is raw anti-Semitism, specifically against Jews. Call it what it is!&nbsp; New York's liberal politicians want us to believe that this is coming from a climate of ‘extremism’ and ‘white supremacists’, whereas in the metro area it is a Jew-hatred being fomented within the minority communities.</p>

<p>
	The major Jewish organizations have failed the Jewish community by not calling out or pressuring the minority communities responsible for these attacks. They are wedded to liberalism's clichés and goals and, even now, routinely choose their partnerships with minority communities over the safety of Jewish individuals.</p>

<p>
	Unfortunately, the Democrat Party knows that the Jewish community will remain an enthusiastic constituency even though the Party is silent while anti-Semitism grows within its midst, as seen with Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and other outspoken members of their caucuses.&nbsp; The Jewish Community is relinquishing its leverage in service to its undying infatuation with liberalism and the Democrat Party.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	Many of the policies of the mainstream liberal Jewish organizations are militating against solving this crisis:</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		*&nbsp; they have been backers of open borders;</p>

	<p>
		*&nbsp; they have been against necessary vetting of those coming from Muslim countries;</p>

	<p>
		*&nbsp; they are against what they call ‘profiling’;</p>

	<p>
		*&nbsp; they are for ‘bail reform’ leading to immediate release of suspects; &nbsp;and</p>

	<p>
		*&nbsp; they are the first to call ‘racist’ anyone who asks the minority communities to begin fighting the anti-Semitism in their midst.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
	Friends: the time for feel-good ‘dialogue’ is over.&nbsp; Jewish organizations must get past worrying more about the sensitivities of other minorities and their leaders over the lives and safety of the Jewish people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	People ask: why is there not an outcry over the daily violence against Jews as there would be if the targets were black, Muslim, or LGTB? The answer is that the high-profile mainstream liberal Jewish organizations that often spearhead public outcries when minorities are attacked are far less angered when similar attacks happen against Jews if the perpetrators are from minority groups.&nbsp; If these attackers in the NYC metro area had been white or Christian, the establishment liberal Jewish organizations and political leaders definitely would be howling and using the opportunity to condemn America and its way of life.</p>

	The recent murderous rampage against our soldiers at Naval Air Station Pensacola was perpetrated by a foreign national from one of the Islamic countries in the Middle East. Unfortunately, this is not a surprise; for this has happened repeatedly now on numerous military bases here: Fort Hood; Little Rock, Arkansas; Tennessee; and recruitment centers; and let's not forget 9/11 itself. The killings come from the same source and ideology. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
	<br>
	Once again, as Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar put it, “<em>some people did something</em>.”</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	Certain law enforcement officials, so as not to frighten the public or because they wish to be politically correct, are too often "searching" for the motive behind the terrorism. Will we be told yet again that the perpetrator was “mentally disturbed” or “an angry person"? Be it terrorism or “mentally disturbed,” the effect is the same: dead Americans. Perhaps we should review our open door from those countries sending us so many “angry” people.&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	Higher-ups in official government circles may pretend not to know the motivation behind these attacks, but the American people and all reasonable and sane people in the West know that it is due to an ideology -- an ideology that is against the West, against Christianity, against Israel, and against America...against the infidel.</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	President Trump was correct in the beginning months of his administration to place a halt on immigration from those countries whose ideology teaches hatred of the infidel and a call to jihad. The president sees his job, rightly so, as protecting the American people. We call that concept "America first." It is basic and common sense...and moral.</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	The Left prioritizes not bruising the sensitivities of the community that spawns all this murder over the families and lives of the American individuals who have been killed in the Jihadist rampages mentioned above. Perhaps most leftists and their children are not residents of the military bases across the country.</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	The issue can no longer be about sensitivity. It has to be about our lives and safety. America does not need to prove that it is not "racist," nor does it need to prove that it is not "Islamophobic." Leftists are obsessed with proving our "innocence" and they therefore choose political correctness over the safety and lives of the American people and our national security. They are unduly influencing the decisions in this country, doing so for their virtue signaling as opposed to the protection of the American people. They also, clearly, seek a radical demographic change in the makeup of America.</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	It is high time that we begin framing issues in the context of terror under the more vital category of saving lives. We should tell leftists to find a good psychologist to work on their guilt, virtue signaling, and disdain for the American way of life. We, as Americans, must make decisions based on common sense. This is the only way to frame these issues.</div>

	Most of the Jewish community has feverishly and piously supported last week’s Democrat-sponsored Resolution condemning President Trump’s remarks against Ilhan Omar. Omar, of course, is a notorious, unrepentant anti-Semite and daily demonizer of Israel.&nbsp; But she has become, for many Jews, a heroine, a civil rights star, a noble cause.&nbsp; Enjoying such support, Omar rewarded the Jewish community by immediately&nbsp;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/omar-introduces-resolution-defending-boycotts-of-israel-likens-it-to-boycott-of-nazi-germany-soviet-union">announcing</a>, after the Resolution’s passage, a piece of legislation demanding that Congress vote in favor of BDS against Israel and her Jewish inhabitants.</p>

<div>
	Seeing that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jta.org/2019/07/15/politics/how-jews-have-reacted-to-trumps-tweet-targeting-some-democratic-congresswomen">Jonathan Greenblatt</a>&nbsp;of the ADL (formerly Special Assistant to Barak Obama) chose to define President Trump’s accurate criticism of Omar’s anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism as simply “playing politics,” Omar understands that the establishment Jewish community seems willing to live with her anti-Jewish prejudices if in service to damaging Donald Trump.&nbsp; She sees the weakness among American Jewry, and it has now emboldened her to introduce BDS legislation. She knows the Jews in Congress and the Jews in the cities will not stand in her way.&nbsp; Indeed, many are choosing her.</div>

<div>
	<p>
		The criticism against the President was not limited to secular types such as Greenblatt, but also came from some rabbis, like Reform&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/URJPresident/status/1150601759821352961">Rabbi Rick Jacobs</a>.&nbsp;One Orthodox rabbi,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49537/menken-dont-underestimate-trumps-strategic-rabbi-yaakov-menken">Yaakov Menken</a>, sadly, published a piece in the Daily Wire where he referred to the President’s words as “obnoxious,” “damaging”, “half-baked”, and “offensive”.</p>

	<p>
		Such statements are emboldening Omar.&nbsp; She smells the self-righteousness, the virtue-signaling, and the political correctness emanating from Jews and some rabbis.&nbsp; The day after the Resolution, she responded to the criticisms of the President that were so widespread in the Jewish community. What did she do? She&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jns.org/pro-israel-groups-slam-omar-comparing-bds-to-boycotts-of-nazi-germany-soviet-union/">compared</a>&nbsp;the State of Israel to the Nazis of the 1930s and categorized a need to boycott Israel as an American value and reminiscent of how America boycotted Nazi Germany.&nbsp;</p>

	<p>
		Greenblatt and others attacked the one man who has, more than anyone else, stood up for Israel and against anti-Semitism.&nbsp; Their focus was more on parsing Trump’s words instead of focusing on the real and dangerous goals of Omar and her allies.&nbsp; They interpreted the President’s words in the most extreme and critical fashion, thereby providing Omar with succor.&nbsp;</p>

	<p>
		Beyond everything else, President Trump is valiantly fighting for the dignity of America while others are seizing an opportunity for scoring “virtue" points.&nbsp; Omar, not Trump, is the threat. Her appetite, her aggressiveness, grows in proportion to those choosing to pounce on the President and provide her with victim-status.</p>

	<p>
		Like many of us, the President was irked by remarks where Omar lauded the foreign country of her birth, Somalia, a notoriously brutal and cruel regime, while incessantly indicting America’s founding as primarily based on genocide, slavery, and racism.&nbsp; She sees no difference between Al Qaeda in Somalia and our society here in America that provided her asylum.&nbsp; Any self-respecting American should, like the President, be insulted and disgusted by her negative view of America.&nbsp;</p>

	<p>
		Omar is not simply someone with a gripe or two; rather, she is intent on demoralizing Americans and making them despise their country, referring to it as almost no better than some of the worst places on earth.&nbsp; Only people who themselves loathe America can find nothing wrong with someone who spurns the very country that gave her safe haven.</p>

	<p>
		The President did not call for her exile, rather that she first fix the problems in the country, Somalia, that she lauds and afterwards return here to fix the problems&nbsp;<em>she a</em>ssociates with America.&nbsp; The truth is, as many have suggested, if she so dislikes America, wouldn’t it be best for her to live in a place that she favors?&nbsp; People that come to such a wonderful and generous country such as America should not spend most of their energy trying to make citizens dislike their own country. In contrast, my&nbsp;great grandfather, Samuel, came to America and continued thinking it was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him.</p>

		There is much more to Omar than meets the eye. She is not some tender compassion-crusader. She is not so innocent, nor a Rosa Parks. She is brazen, impudent, unrelentingly aggressive, and seems to enjoy punching Americans in the face while mocking our love of this country. I suspect she fits into a more dangerous category, representing forces intent on upending America as we know it.</p>

	<p>
		In one of history’s most confounding moments, too many in the American Jewish community are championing the very person who wants to destroy Israel and, no doubt, those Jews supportive of Israel. Too many Jews see their protection, identification and fraternity with the intersectional groups, even those hostile and those calling Israel and Jews Nazis. It is a grave mistake. They are blind to the particulars staring them in the face and view life through the generalizations they made decades ago. For example, they still fear American nationalism and conservative Christians, despite the positive sentiments and numerous acts of kindness from them toward the Jewish community throughout the last century.</p>

	<p>
		Omar and BDS are co-joined with Hamas, the very Hamas that this week&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jta.org/quick-reads/hamas-official-calls-on-palestinians-abroad-to-kill-jews">called for the killing of Jews worldwide</a>. We shouldn't be searching for ways to champion her as a kindred victim. However,&nbsp;most American Jews are more concerned with intersectional feelings and goals than Jewish safety, and are willing to have the State of Israel, and its Jewish inhabitants, called Nazis if that's what their racist intersectional heroines insist.</p>

	<p>
		Too many live in an ersatz cocoon, according to a newly defined Jewishness, far removed from Judaism.&nbsp; Sadly, much of American Jewishness, as opposed to authentic Judaism, has made Israel and the safety and survival of the Jewish people secondary, or insignificant, when weighed against their preferred identity as “progressive” members of a global society. This is the curse of universalism, which has afflicted the Jewish people since the early 19th century.&nbsp;</p>

	<p>
		A grateful and self-respecting people would give the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Trump, the man who has befriended them so much and who fights for the country, America, that has provided Jews with so much blessing.&nbsp; Indeed, Jews who have prospered in this golden land should be in the forefront defeating a person like Omar who has, as her primary purpose, the besmirching of America and Israel. The purpose of her treacherous, stealth campaign is to make Americans feel so negative about their country that they want to replace our historic ethos and system with an amalgamation of&nbsp;Marxism and Shariah.</p>

Jewish Fawning Over Omar Has Made Her More Aggressive

Reprinted from American Thinker


	Most of the Jewish community has feverishly and piously supported last week’s Democrat-sponsored Resolution condemning

<p>
	There is a never ending blitzkrieg from the media to topple President Trump. Based on what we’ve observed during the last two years, there’s no doubt that the “Separation of Families” barrage that began a couple of weeks ago was an effort orchestrated by the media. It brought together the Four Horsemen for a Trump Apocalypse: the Democrat Party; the Deep State; the Never-Trumpers; and leftwing organizations, especially those purporting to speak in the name of religion.</p>

<p>
	One: Nancy Pelosi, the face of the Democrat party, accused Jeff Sessions and other conservatives of being “religious hypocrites” for not allowing open borders and easy and swift entry for all families and children wishing to reside in America. I have no doubt that Mr. Sessions and Mr. Trump do care about families. Indeed, as conservatives they are far less inclined than liberals to take children from parents and place them in the custody of the “enlightened” state, as those on the Left often propose.</p>

<p>
	What about families? Even Nancy Pelosi should know that government’s first duty is to protect and defend America’s existing families. And today that means seriously checking, at the borders, all who may possibly be a member of MS-13, a jihadi terrorist, a criminal or drug dealer, or carrier of infectious diseases, all of which have already threatened American families. We rely on the government to do this for us. Mr. Trump and Sessions are not “religious hypocrites”, but men living up to their oath and doing their duty of keeping Americans safe. They are acting as those who take their responsibility seriously.</p>

<p>
	In contrast to the prevailing liberal ideology, American families indeed count. That’s all part of what we mean when we proclaim: America First. Compassion is not only for those outside but those within, for those regular, law abiding millions not part of any momentary preference group.</p>

<p>
	Last week, Maxine Waters, the new face of the Democrat Party, claimed God was on her side as she encouraged Americans to close-face harass, verbally assault, and forbid conservatives from participating in routine American public activities .Waters wants conservatives who disagree with her to sit in the back of the bus, be evicted from the lunch counters, and refused service. Civil rights are for her, not the hundreds of millions of regular Americans. People working for the President, she says, should be hounded at their home. Unleash the Brown Shirts! Waters, claiming to be concerned about the feelings of children of illegals, appears happy with Republican children being frightened in their beds due to bullhorns and liberal activists shouting outside their homes and bedrooms.</p>

<p>
	Instead of trying to find a workable solution to a national emergency inherently fraught with necessary but difficult procedures, Pelosi , ala Rahm Emanuel, has exploited this crisis for her own personal ambition, namely, to regain the Speaker’s Gavel. Worse, she overlooks the safety of our American families in her quest to import, on a grand scale, a new Democrat voting constituency. Pelosi knows that these protocols began long before Mr. Trump’s presidency and that the incendiary picture seen around the world was from the Obama era, not on Trump’s watch. But, as we have seen many times before with the Palestinian/media alliance, pictures and photographs are manipulated that are absolutely false or misappropriated. All of this is highly unethical.</p>

<p>
	Two: The Deep State was represented by former NSA and CIA Director, Michael Hayden. He compared the temporary separation of children from parents at our southern border to the Nazi Holocaust. It is an abhorrent comparison. It is knowingly wrong; it minimizes the Holocaust and it unfairly maligns our country. It is an unethical assertion, done by a “Deeper” who loathes the President so much as to put politics above truth.</p>

<p>
	The Nazis separated families as part of a first phase of forced labor and murder of Jews, an entire race. We, in contrast, are taking care of these children---probably better than they’re normally taken care of--during the days of necessary investigation. No animus is intended on our part, or on the part of President Trump, AG sessions, or the Dept. of Homeland Security. Mr. Hayden’s offense was not simply against Holocaust survivors but America itself. It’s unethical to make accusations that are absolutely false and purposely defaming. Why was such a man CIA Director?</p>

<p>
	Three: The Never-Trump neo-cons, who for the first time since 1980 find themselves out of the loop, also gleefully pounced this weekend on the President and Attorney General. They’ve been unable to accept that they’re no longer setting the agenda within the Republican Party. Nor should they be. The neo-cons loathe everything we love. The majority of the Party’s constituency believes in nationalism, fair trade and placing America first. They don’t. Most of the Party is no longer enamored by foreign nation-building, globalism, and sacrificing American jobs on the altar of international social engineering. The neo-cons are.</p>

<p>
	Most neo-cons are former Democrats from the East Coast and will forever feel more comfortable around academics and theoreticians than around blue collar, hands -on, regular Joes. &nbsp;They latch onto and advance anything that will smear and bring down the President in the hopes of restoring their big-shot status, as well as the perks, relevance, and power that go with it. Jennifer Rubin, a neo-Con and blogger for the Washington Post, wrote approvingly for “shunning” and publicly refusing service to those supportive of President Trump. Why was she ever considered a Republican?</p>

<p>
	Four: Some left wing organizations calling themselves religious, but who are more so socialist, condemned the President for not “welcoming the stranger”. In fact, years back Barack Obama quoted the Scripture “Thou shall not Afflict the Stranger” as justification for shooting down anyone who disagreed with his borders-as-sieve policy and granting a full basket of entitlements to all who come here, even illegally. But, welcoming the stranger refers to individuals, not an invasion of millions…certainly not a calculated importation of millions to swell the voting ranks of the liberal party. It’s about treating decently a stranger temporarily in the land; not about making it easy for would-be terrorists, gangs, and criminals to blithely enter; nor is it about forgetting that newcomers can’t come to feed and live off the sweat of others. It is not “affliction” to require standards.</p>

<p>
	Welcoming the stranger was not intended by the Bible to be a national suicide program. The Bible itself speaks of the blessing of impenetrable borders. Welcoming the stranger is a directive for not being cruel to people, harassing or torturing them, as was the practice in many ancient societies and still practiced today toward “infidels”. Democrats could take a lesson in decency… and stop harassing Republicans.</p>

<p>
	In my own Jewish backyard, I witnessed a host of liberal Jewish organizations almost two weeks ago eagerly sign on to a letter condemning the President and Attorney General. They felt so good about themselves for doing so. They kept piling on, not taking the time to find out the facts. Forget the truth: it was a chance to show their greater “nobility” and, once again, demonize Trump. This frequently happens in today’s Jewish organizational community. The vast majority of the non-Orthodox Jewish organizations in America are loudly anti-Trump, actually in the vanguard against him, pining for the return of Barack Obama. Their automatic assumption is that the average conservative and American is indifferent to the plight of children, the needy, strangers, or non-Americans. Self-righteousness, when used to dismiss the goodness in others, is unethical.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
	None of the hysteria and condemnation that has gone on these past two weeks was necessary. If there was goodwill and respect from the Left, they would have realized we all want what is proper, yet responsible. Sit down with DHS and find solutions or improvements. That’s the American way. Instead, they deliberately chose to demonize in the hopes of bringing down everything. But you don’t measure morality by hysteria. Their hysteria does not reflect a higher morality, rather their ongoing project of malice and low ethics.</p>

	President Trump has been under relentless attack from those on the Left against his efforts to limit immigration from terrorist-producing areas and his call for comprehensive vetting and background checks. Beyond doubt, it is the first and most important duty of a President to protect the lives of a country’s citizens, especially where a possibility exists of terrorists being embedded within a particular immigration flow. As the President previously stated, to not strictly enforce our immigration laws is “not compassion but recklessness”.</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	Some groups are exploiting the Holocaust to promote unrestricted Syrian and other Mideast immigration into this country. However, it is incorrect to draw a parallel between the Jews who fled Europe in the 1930s, who were, as Jews, specific targets for genocide and Nazi concentration camps, and those today wishing to escape the civil war in their Mideast countries. The Syrians, for example, are not being targeted because they are Muslims, and there is no Final Solution planned against them. Their civil wars have placed them in very difficult circumstances, but it is not comparable to the deliberate and planned Final Extermination which was specifically directed at Jews as Jews during the unparalleled Holocaust. It’s a different category altogether.</div>

<div id="m_-2016237606631033934yiv0221381134yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489442546929_3788">

	Furthermore, comparisons to the Holocaust situation are improper, for (2) there were no Nazi agents embedded within the fleeing Jews; (3) the Jews did not harbor a cultural or religious ideology wishing to sow physical destruction on the American people; and (4) there were no rabbis in the 1930s sending forth commands worldwide to destroy the “infidels”. Indeed, (5) the completely innocent Jews of Europe had nowhere to go, no country to take them in --- there was not yet a State of Israel---whereas there are 57 Islamic states, many exceedingly wealthy, who could be providing safe haven to their Islamic brothers.</div>

<div id="m_-2016237606631033934yiv0221381134yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489442546929_3789">

	If there is a genocide parallel it involves the Christians of the Middle East who have for decades been targets of the Muslim genocide against them simply for being Christian. And yet, the Left has been silent regarding the plight of Christians. &nbsp;During the Obama years, Christian immigration here from Islamic territories was, based on population percentages, 90% less than what it should have been.&nbsp; Mr. Obama moralized about “not using a religious litmus test” to over-weight Muslim immigration, while severely undercutting and ignoring thousands of Christian refugees begging to be rescued from the Islamic jihad against them.</div>

<div id="m_-2016237606631033934yiv0221381134yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489442546929_3790">

	Thus, one can’t be blamed for wondering if specific concern by the Left for Muslim migrants and lack of concern or outrage regarding oppressed Christian refugees has more to do with transforming our demographics and historic culture, our voting patterns and outcomes, and diminishing the historic Judeo-Christian outlook in our civic life.</div>

<div id="m_-2016237606631033934yiv0221381134yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489442546929_3791">

	The Jewish community need be mindful that it has become the nation’s highest victim of attacks precisely because of, as reported in 2014 and 2015, assaults coming from members of the Muslim community. Such is the case for Jews not only here but even more so in Europe. In addition, anti-Israel Muslim groups on campus are harassing, physically attacking, and harming Jewish college students all across America. There are far too many postings and rally signs coming from members of other Islamic groups calling for “throwing Jews into the ovens” or “wishing Hitler had finished the job”.</div>

<div id="m_-2016237606631033934yiv0221381134yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489442546929_3792">

	Some involved in this violence are themselves young immigrants from Islamic countries, while others are the offspring of immigrants. This is all the more reason for comprehensive and serious background checking. Tough and thorough vetting is good for America and can prevent the importation and implementation of anti-Semitism, something morally desirable. The onus of proof should be on those seeking entry here, not the U.S. government.</div>

<div id="m_-2016237606631033934yiv0221381134yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489442546929_3793">

	While we all agree that not all 100% of immigrants from these countries are on a jihadist or shariah mission, way too many are. To those bullied and shoved on campus, or those killed in an explosion in Fort Lauderdale, Boston, Columbus, San Bernardino, or Nashville, it’s little comfort or solace that their life or limb was taken only from the bad percentage.</div>

	Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for and is working toward establishing safe-havens in Mideast territories closer to the locations of those wishing to leave war torn areas. Saving the lives of fellow Americans is a religious, historic and civic duty. President Trump’s goals and tenacity represent moral and genuine leadership.</div>
