Heftiger FAZ-Artikel: Türsteher für Teenagerpartys. Private Feiern werden gestürmt und Wertsachen in der Öffentlichkeit von Gleichaltrigen geraubt. Warum braucht man heute Türsteher, die Geburtstagspartys von Sechzehnjährigen schützen? faz.net/-3c1y94?share=Twitte…
Der nächste Präsidentschaftskandidat der Republikaner wird aus Florida kommen. Und sowohl DeSantis als auch Rubio wären ein Gewinn. Vance hingegen wird absehbar einen Podcast betreiben, der im Dunstkreis von Tucker Carlson nach Anhängern sucht.

I was usually the ONLY WOMAN in my convoy in Afghanistan. Not only was I a military police team leader, I was the one who searched the Afghan women.
Those women told me things their husbands never would. They also told me things they wouldn't tell their husbands. They let me hold their babies and talk to their kids. These women had NO voice in that country. No rights. They were men's property.
40 months in a Muslim country taught me this: Sharia doesn't "coexist." It TAKES. And here in the USA, it will take from women FIRST.
Ladies, it starts with your voice. DO NOT hand it over. It wasn't very long ago at all that we fought for and WON our freedom here in America. We owe it to our daughters not to go backwards. 🇺🇸🪖

Obsession with Israel has destroyed this country for the next two years. The amount of total foreign aid to ALL COUNTRIES is 0.7% of the budget, with 0.05% going to Israel, 93% of which must be spent in the US. The largest mountain made of the smallest mole hill in history.

Um es mal in aller gebotenen Klarheit zu sagen: Das Habeck-Ministerium und die Anti-Atomkraft-Fundis bei den Grünen haben die deutsche Öffentlichkeit nach Strich und Faden belogen.
Ein paar von uns hatten versucht, darauf aufmerksam zu machen.
Aber schön, dass jetzt noch
mehr neue Gaskraftwerke gebaut werden müssen.

Iranian-born Canadian activist Parishad Kavyani, who spent more than two years marching in support of Palestine, has publicly broken with the movement, accusing former allies of hypocrisy, discrimination and selectively defending human rights.
Kavyani said she had experienced more homophobia, racism and sexism from left-wing activists over the past nine months than ever before.
Kavyani, who grew up under Iran's Islamic Republic before moving to Canada at 14, criticized pro-Palestine activists for advocating women's rights while remaining silent about Iranian women fighting against compulsory hijab laws and other restrictions imposed by Tehran.
She also accused some activists of defending the Iranian regime and sharing material supportive of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Kavyani said Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel was a turning point, explaining that she could not support the killing, rape, torture or hostage-taking of civilians simply because they were Israeli.
She argued that human rights should apply equally to everyone, regardless of nationality or political beliefs, and accused parts of the movement of prioritizing ideology over protecting innocent people.

AIPAC accounts for roughly 0.07% of registered federal lobbying and well under 1% of total election spending. In fact its 191st on the list.
Because its related to Jews it gets 100% of the attention.
A striking stat re AIPAC performance in the midterms. In 2022, almost 70% of its funds went into races where it got the desired result. In 2024, it was 87%. In 2026, that figure is 34%.

The UN just elected the judges who will rule on the "genocide" case against Israel.
One of them, Jordan's Mahmoud Hmoud, already called it "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" weeks after October 7, before a single piece of evidence was heard.
Another, Phoebe Okowa, sat on Namibia's legal team arguing against Israel at the same court.
In any real court, that's called a conflict of interest.
At the ICJ, it's called a qualification.

“I love Britain,” the Jewish man said, breaking down in tears live on air.
In a moving radio interview, a British Jew spoke in a voice choked with tears about his decision to leave Britain after sending his children abroad and finishing packing up his home.
According to him, despite his deep love for the country where he grew up and lived, the current reality led him to conclude that he has no future there. The interview sparked widespread reactions online and reignited the discussion about the sense of security among Britain’s Jewish community.

Gene Wu is what we call a boba lib - a high-status Asian progressive who is soft on crime, for open borders, and exploits racial grievances to dismantle America which he says is defined by white supremacy and racism.
Unsurprisingly, like all woke Asians, he has nothing to say at all about America's geopolitical rival.
Wu goes way further. He was involved with the Houston Chinese consulate which Trump shut down in 2020 due to subversive espionage activity. His father has been linked to a group of former Red Guards from Mao's Cultural Revolution era who spout pro-CCP propaganda.
He is a fifth columnist and he is now the leader of the Texas House of Representatives.

Der Stadtrat von Birmingham hat beschlossen, keine Geschäfte mehr mit Israel machen zu wollen. In der Stadt regiert eine Koalition aus Grünen, Liberaldemokraten und Unabhängigen.
Das ist nicht nur Islamogauchism in action. Es ist auch sectarianism, also eine Politik, die sich an Identität und Religion orientiert statt an objektiven Interessen.
Birmingham ist wegen seines hohen Einwandereranteils dafür besonders anfällig.
Aber auch in muslimisch dominierten Stadtvierteln gibt es Bewohner, die sich daran stören, dass ihre Vertreter sich mehr um Gaza kümmern als um lokale Probleme.
Der britische Staat hat jahrzehntelang ignoriert, welche Parallelgesellschaften sich dort gebildet haben. Jetzt machen sie ihre eigene Politik.

Ihre "ausländischen Freunde" sind halt Antisemiten, die sich nicht vorstellen können, dass jemand die Welt nicht antisemitisch sieht. Darum überlegen sie, was der Grund dafür sein kann, und landen verschwörungstheoretisch bei einer ominösen "Schuld".
Während im Westen (erschaffen auf christlichen Werten) Moslems ihre Religion frei leben können und in höchste politische Ämter aufsteigen, ist in muslimischen Ländern schon der Übertritt zum Christentum so etwas wie Hochverrat.
Egyptian prosecutors are pursuing the "maximum penalty" for Christian convert Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek on undisclosed charges. Abdelrazek's lawyers say he is being prosecuted for refusing to "renounce Jesus."

Dear @JDVance,
You warned on Wednesday that the next few months would bring a lot of gaslighting. Then you wrote the first draft.
Your post says any honest conversation must start with the war. Great. Since April you have been the administration’s lead negotiator, which makes you the owner of the track that turned a seven-week bombing campaign into an eight-month stalemate. Every week of ceasefire that was not a peace kept the Strait a question mark and kept diesel where eighty-seven percent of voters said they could feel it. Had you spent the spring arguing for the one hour the President says it would take instead of extending the stalemate, the war would have been over by summer, the pump would have said so, and you would be writing a different post. You promised no forever war. You then built a ceasefire with no exit, and sat on it for seven months. Tell voters what settlement you believed was achievable, what deadlines mattered, and what the administration planned to do if negotiations failed.
You say you know a great many of the smartest people in politics, but not one of them has a name. (Tucker?) At least one of them cannot count (also Tucker?), because on your list of four things, items one and two are the same item, and item three is a bumper sticker. Item four is the only entry that names a country, and it is not the country we are at war with.
(BTW I can guess where item four came from. Days ago @TuckerCarlson wrote that the administration was considering striking Pickaxe Mountain under pressure from Netanyahu, on the strength of Israeli intelligence. That is your fourth item, written out in full. No one had to poll for it. It was posted.)
The poll itself. “Change our relationship to Israel” is broad enough to mean several incompatible things. What did those voters actually say? Did they spontaneously mention Israel? Were they offered a list? What percentage selected that answer? Were they objecting to this war, particular Israeli policies, American assistance, or the alliance itself? Why not publish the questionnaire, the sample, the percentages, and the crosstabs.
By contrast, the networks published their exit polls. The issues voters were asked about were the economy, democracy, immigration, corruption, the Iran war and artificial intelligence. Israel did not need a column, because voters were not voting about Israel. The sole evidence that the American electorate rendered a verdict on Israel is a phone call between you and a man you will not identify.
Contrast your response with @realDonaldTrump’s. Asked about your post, he acknowledged the war’s electoral cost and said he would make the decision again because long term it's the only answer. Agree or disagree, he defended his decision.
In July, you yourself said America would have fought this war without Israeli influence. You explained that the president independently opposed an Iranian nuclear weapon—and that you agreed.
Now your post finds room for an unnamed pollster’s undefined grievance against Israel, but none for an accounting of your own decisions as the administration’s lead negotiator.
Name the pollster. Publish the questions and the results. Tell voters which decisions you supported, which you opposed, and which you would reverse.
The President answered for his decision. That is leadership. If you want to be a leader, you need to be able to answer for yours.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

We Muslims are celebrating when Muslims win elections in the United States and other Western countries. And rightly so.
The West has given us freedom, accepted us, allowed us to practise our religion, and even given Muslims the opportunity to hold important positions in government.
But let me ask a simple question:
Can Christians or other non-Muslims enjoy the same opportunities in countries governed by Sharia?
In some of these countries, we struggle to tolerate their houses of worship. We don't even allow them to openly preach their Gospel, let alone imagine giving them equal opportunities to participate in government.
Yet we celebrate religious freedom when it benefits us in the West.
Religious freedom cannot be something we demand for ourselves but deny others.
If we want the West to respect our rights, we must also be willing to respect the rights of others.

Jewish Democrats are hopeful today that with U.S. funding to Israel ending and AIPAC politically diminished and no longer funding candidates, the hatred will stop.
Here in Canada we have no AIPAC equivalent, and our funding to Israel is insignificant.
The hatred is worse.
