[Daily Signal] So-called King, Donald Trump, ran in two contested Republican primaries.
He ran three times in a general election.
He was elected twice, and his party recently won a Republican Congress.
In contrast, in 2020, former President Joe Biden did not run a typical campaign.
He avoided the public, staying ensconced in his basement. He outsourced his campaign to Democrat politicos, donors, and a sycophantic media.
No red state ever sought to remove Biden or former Vice President Kamala Harris from their 2024 ballots. In contrast, 25 blue states attempted to take Trump off their ballots.
In 2021, Biden’s Department of Justice and FBI raided then-former President Trump’s home. They found only 102 classified documents among some 14,000 seized, but nevertheless, indicted him.
There was no such SWAT raid on Biden’s multiple repositories of illegally removed classified documents.
All were in less secure places than at Mar-a-Lago. Biden removed them over the course of three decades with impunity. At the time, unlike Trump, he had no presidential prerogatives to declassify them.
Special counsel Robert Hur found Biden culpable for the removal of these files but declined to prosecute, claiming that he was too enfeebled to stand trial.
In 2024, the same backroom donors and politicos who had conspired to ensure Biden was the 2020 nominee now, against his wishes, in coup-like fashion, removed him from his own reelection ticket.
[FreeBeacon] A media shop affiliated with a radical preacher in Dearborn, Mich., recently published a 39-minute video celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination as a "praiseworthy action" that Muslims across the United States should celebrate and repeat. The call to violence has raised red flags with Trump administration officials as they seek to deport foreign terrorist sympathizers and combat radicalism across the nation.
"The Fate of Charlie Kirk: The Insulter of the Messenger [Prophet Muhammad] and His Ruling According to Islam" was published on Oct. 10 by the English-language media outlet Project Guiding Light, a radical content mill affiliated with "pro-Islamic State" preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
The video, which amplifies Jibril's brand of radicalism, circulated on YouTube, X, Instagram, and Telegram. It remains accessible on an Instagram page affiliated with Project Guiding Light, which also includes links to Jibril's personal webpage and features the cleric in several posts.
[Townhall] With the return of the hostages and, minimally, an extended ceasefire, maybe it’s time to look back on some features of the war.
Since Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... made such a point of raping Israeli women, I predicted that babies would be born to female Jewish captives and Hamas would parade these children around as future shaheeds. While there definitely have been reports of torture and sexual abuse, I have not heard of any child born to the Israeli women during their time in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... dungeons. Another point: many of the captives claim that Hamas tried to get them to convert to Islam. They talked to them endlessly about their religion and offered more food and better conditions for converting. Not one left his or her Judaism. Actually, a fair number of the hostages reported upon release that they increased their religious observance. Some reported an intense closeness to God while in the bowels of hell in Gaza. While Hamas has plenty of supporters at Harvard, its bandidosmurderous Moslems apparently did not study there:
"Hi, I just killed your family, tortured you and dragged you back to Gaza, where I am starving you while chaining you to a small cage. Would you like to join my religion that makes me do all of these things to you?"
One fellow said that he was given a small radio in order to hear the call to Islamic prayer. He was able to rejigger it to hear Galgalatz, the official radio station of the IDF.
So while many of the captives came out speaking Arabic, none converted to Islam. Rather, some put on kippahs or made it clear that they wanted to make blessings over food or keep the Sabbath. It is not a surprise that one finds faith to keep himself/herself together during the most painful and challenging times in one’s life. One fellow said that to keep sane, he started to talk to a crack in the wall. After a few more iterations of inanimate objects, he began to speak to God. When I saw him, he had his head covered in a kippah.
Another thing that did not appear in Gaza was the assistance of the locals in getting hostages out. Some hostages who were able to get free were returned to captivity by regular Gazooks. We know that some of those held were watched by doctors, teachers, and professors. The Gazooks are Hamas, and Hamas is Gaza. If Hamas had been winning the war, you would not have heard the complaints about the group. But as they were losing and people’s homes were going atomic, people complained about Hamas—but still never betrayed the location of the Israeli captives.
Immediately after the announcement of the Trump program, the UN said that it had three months of food on hand. Now wait, weren’t they just screaming about a famine and that Israel was starving the Gaza population? I don’t know how many short videos I saw of new restaurants opening in Khan Younis and elsewhere in the enclave. We were all played for genocide (90% of those killed were Hamas operatives), famine (there was and is plenty of food), intentional killing of children (did not happen), and other lies about Israeli behavior. Israel ran an overly professional campaign, warning the locals of impending kinetic action. Never in history have the townies been given so much notice to move themselves and their donkeys away from incoming tank shells and missiles. Israel destroyed much of the housing in Gaza to keep the locals busy in urban renewal and not bomb and rocket manufacturing.
Another thing that did not happen in Gaza is a change in the population’s attitude. One might argue that the Germans and Japanese—with no better choices available—became different nations after their total defeat and Allied rehabilitation. The Gazooks remain the same in their vitriolic hatred of Jews and Israel. If an Israeli accidentally walked down a street in Khan Younis, he would be violent mostly peacefully murdered in a manner no different from that in Israeli towns two years ago. There is zero learning curve with the Paleostinians: give up terror, have a great life. Stick to terror, and you will live in a stinking, destroyed dump. "Umm, I’ll take what’s behind Door #2."
