Robert Kraft raised $32M for his Blue Square Alliance at a gala last night with Tom Brady and Jon Bon Jovi. Kraft's "charity" operates a Zionist spy network inside of Gillette Stadium that tracks "anti-Semitism" on the internet in real time.
Fox News' Dana Perino hails Robert Kraft as a "man of principle" who "stuck to his guns" by canceling Macklemore when he "tried to basically go after Jews."

The UAE is literally the reason the RSF has the capacity to commit genocide in Sudan, and now you're arguing that the UAE should basically take control of the UN? We all know that your intention is for Israel & the UAE to split control of the region between them
How did UAE become the largest global provider of humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to UN data? Because of Lana Nussaibeh—a diplomat who knows everyone and works with them to GSD. She would be an inspired choice for this impossible job.

So I went on @piersmorgan's show yesterday. I like his show, but I have declined many previous invitations because I don't think it's a fit for me. I agreed yesterday, hoping the other panelists would be willing to engage in a real debate for at least a few minutes. Boy, was I overestimating him :) Hanson immediately starts throwing personal attacks and lies at me, forcing me to interrupt him in an attempt to bring the conversation back to factual matters. But if someone doesn't have enough dignity and self-respect to avoid embarrassing himself by sinking this low, you can't expect them to respect the rules of debate either. To Piers' defense, he did step in and made many of the substantive points I planned to make. Anyways, here's yet another attempt by warmongers to disqualify me through slanderous attacks rather than address the actual substance of my argument. I would say enjoy, but not sure you will :)

We @adc are again on the frontlines of the fight against CBP’s abuse of its authority at the border. The agency has been using the border search exception to punish and retaliate against journalists, activists and lawyers who express views contra to the Administrations— as it did in our other two cases on behalf of @MaxBlumenthal and lawyer Jalal Shehadeh—by insisting on accessing the contents of their phones, and seizing those devices when such access was refused. Our new client Muhammad Imam protested, when he explained that as a psychiatric nurse, his phone contained confidential patient data and so he refused to permit CBP access. CBP punitively took his phone and laptop, as well as those belonging to his wife, and revoked his global entry status. We have hearing tomorrow in the eastern district of Virginia, where we will demand an explanation for CBP’s unlawful conduct. Read article by @matthew_petti, who has done an amazing job following this issue, below

I obtained 140 pages of internal State Department emails from when I was being imprisoned and interrogated by the IDF. The correspondence reveals that U.S. officials referred to me as “kidnapped” by the Israeli military while explicitly refusing to consider me "wrongfully detained." Officials were informed of day-long interrogations and made aware of my detention in a notoriously abusive Israeli prison. The emails show no U.S. effort to intervene on my behalf, only a focus on PR and limiting political fallout. Link in reply

The US has fired more interceptors defending Israel than Israel has since October 2023 According to @stephensemler, the US fired an estimated 609 interceptors to defend Israel against responses to its attacks. The US used the most expensive interceptors in its arsenal for Israel: 31% were the $31 million SM-3 and 62% were the $12 million THAAD. The US spent $11 billion shooting down missiles for Israel from October 2023 through September 2026. Israel is an absolute strategic liability.

Abdul El-Sayed on Iran: War in Iran. Everybody could have told you this is a dumb idea. There was really only one person in the whole world who's had a 40-year project to get us to fight this war. He's a prime minister of another government. And he finally found the dumbass who was willing to do it.

AIPAC has become such a political liability that it’s shifting to a more “nimble” (read: secretive) approach to buying politicians for Israel Instead of high profile endorsements and PAC donations, it will quietly mobilize individual donors for direct contributions

Trump explains that we have to keep American kids in the Middle East fighting a war to make sure Iran doesn’t develop the nuclear weapon he stopped them from developing when he ripped up the JCPOA in 2018 and obliterated last summer
Trump on Iran War: We could leave now, but we want to make sure it lasts for a long time.

What did a student "free speech" group do when student journalists at Columbia wrote a dissenting view about the 'Cornell 7' case? Did it facilitate peaceful dialogue where students could express disagreements? No, it canceled an event about student journalism, condemned the article, and accused the student journalists of promoting rape culture.

Homeland Security agents wanted to search an Atlanta protester's phone. So they detained him at the airport, cut him off from his lawyer, and lied to him that they were looking for "kiddie porn" and might let him go if he cooperates, govt documents show. reason.com/2026/10/21/homela…

JD Vance doubling down on the claim that Amy Acton and her brother are lying about being abused as children. If he is so sure, then why did the state strip custody? Truly despicable given JD’s own upbringing. What if his mom was still an addict and did an ad calling JD a liar for his book? Would he be ok with that? Soulless behavior.
Vance: "And now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because, guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Court records and 1978 reports confirm Amy Acton's stepfather was arrested and charged with raping her at age 12; he fled Ohio before trial and was declared a fugitive. Her brother has corroborated the events. Vivek and Vance are siding with abusers over a victim. cincinnati.com/story/news/pol… forbes.com/sites/saradorn… mediaite.com/media/news/ram…

"I haven’t said anything about Israel" from a guy who constantly makes hero movies about Israelis and minstrel shows about Arabs
Sacha Baron Cohen on suspicion that the calls for a boycott of his new film, 'Ali G: Who Iz I?,' are tied to his past support of Israel: "Well, I haven’t said anything about Israel. I think people are being portrayed as things that they are not on social media and it’s problematic. We are in a world where people can’t distinguish between facts and lies, and that’s something that I’ve spent a lot of the last few years trying to fix. For example, I co-founded a group called Stop Hate for Profit with the NAACP and Color of Change and the ADL and certain other civil rights groups to stop the misinformation and incitement of racism on social media. So, I’m not surprised that prominent Jews are being targeted. I knew that this was going to happen. The level of organization is surprising, but this is a trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced." bit.ly/4BpPgkz

Ro, what do you mean Israel needs “new leadership”? All of Netanyahu’s major opposition have pledged to defend the settlements. The only differences are cosmetic and about disciplining the more vulgar elements around the margins. All the opposition also supports genocide in Gaza.
I am waiting for @netanyahu and @Isaac_Herzog to pipe in calling Brad Lander a liar who is staging a photo up. Or maybe Mr. Witkoff will be brazen enough to compliment Netanyahu & Herzog as great humanitarians like Putin & Trump. The world needs a new generation of leadership!

FINALLY: Someone brave enough to join the @ADL in denouncing one of America's greatest evils, one that we have endured since the start of the film industry in the early 20th Century: The exclusion and marginalization of Jews in Hollywood. Solidarity, @SachaBaronCohen. 🙏
