Don't start wars, kids.

JUST IN - JOE BIDEN: "I'm the first President in this century to report to the American people that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world."

President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’ First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, @realDonaldTrump and the United States acted with a lot of strength.

Lindsey Graham tells Republican Jewish Coalition not to worry about Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes: "I feel good about the Republican Party. I feel good about where we're going as a nation. We're killing all the right people and we're cutting your taxes." "Trump is my favorite president. We've run out of bombs. We didn't run out of bombs in World War II." "So to those who worry about these stupid interviews…don't worry. The Republican Party has figured it out."

Israel tortured and sexually humiliated Greta Thunberg. Some excerpts from her interview with the Swedish paper Aftonblatet: "They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me." "They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me." "They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little whore) and ‘Hora Greta’ (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time." In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag. "The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that." "They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me." Greta was then taken into a building to be searched and undressed. "The guards have no empathy or humanity, and they keep taking selfies with me. There’s a lot I don’t remember. So much is happening at once. You’re in shock. You’re in pain, but you go into a state of trying to stay calm." Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says. "It was mockery, rough handling, and everything was filmed. Everything they do is extremely violent." "It was so hot, like 40 degrees. We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us." "When people fainted, we banged on the cages and asked for a doctor. Then the guards came and said, ‘We’re going to gas you.’ It was standard for them to say that." "This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors." Thunberg says the Swedish government greatly downplayed the abuse she and her fellow Sumud Flotilla activists suffered, and wouldn't even bring them water. "We were together and told them about the treatment we received. About the lack of food, water, about the abuse. The torture. We showed them the physical injuries we had – bruises and scratches. We gave them all our contact details – I gave them my father's number and the number of our contact in the organization. We were clear: everything we say now must be released to the media." "They didn’t do anything, they just said: ’Our job is to listen to you. We are here and you are entitled to consular support.’" "We said over and over again: we need water. And they saw that the guards had water bottles. The embassy staff said: ’We’ll make a note of that.’ One of us, Vincent, said: ’Next time we meet you, you must bring water.’ Then it took two days before the embassy staff showed up again. "They didn't bring any water, except for a small bottle of their own that was half empty. Vincent, who was in the worst shape, got to drink it. We kept asking the guards, 'Can we have some water?' but they just walked around with their water bottles and didn't answer." "I said, 'Are you going to leave us like this? If you leave now, they will beat us up.' But they just kept walking." When Aftonbladet compares emails sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relatives, with what the captives describe telling embassy staff, it becomes clear that the seriousness of the situation has been downplayed. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the scene at the port, where Greta Thunberg was beaten for hours, as follows: “She told us about harsh treatment and that she had been sitting on a hard surface for a long time.” On Saturday, several media outlets published testimonies that Greta had been subjected to torture. Aftonbladet has spoken to three other members of the flotilla who largely confirm what Greta Thunberg says and who have all experienced various types of abuse and humiliation. We have also spoken to relatives. Everyone is highly critical of how the Swedish embassy staff acted.

Bill Maher: “Israel is the Jews’ homeland and Jews have always lived there. You can look it up. It’s in this book called the Bible. Calling Jews colonizers is like calling Native Americans colonizers here. It’s ridiculous.”

This won’t be easy for people to hear, but there are only about 200 professed Catholics still living in Gaza and they all support Hamas.

🚨Bibi Netanyahu addresses Christians — “When Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, was under Israeli Control; 80% of its residents were Christian. Since the P.A took control — that number has dwindled to under 20%. THESE are the people you want to give a state to?!”

Yesterday I saw a photo of statue of Anne Frank, murdered in Bergen-Belsen, defaced with the word "GAZA." We live in a time where Holocaust books and museums are ubiquitous. But never have anti-Jewish ideologies been so potent or so dangerous. A brilliant essay by @MattiFriedman in @TheFP: thefp.com/p/we-misunderstood…

US Launches Two More Airstrikes in Somalia According to AFRICOM, one strike targeted al-Shabaab and the other targeted ISIS by Dave DeCamp @DecampDave #Somalia #Puntland #AFRICOM #AlShabaab #ISIS news.antiwar.com/2025/06/22/…

“I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay…”- President Donald J. Trump

Daniella Weiss describes exactly how she works on ethnically cleansing Palestinians with the full support of the Israeli government.

ONE DOWN! Hamas supprter Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by ICE and DHS. The Columbia University student is being deported, and his green card revoked.

Watch Matt Lee call out Miller for joking as Israel starves Gaza. Miller: They’ve failed to implement the things we recommended, we’re not at end of the 30 days Lee: So it’s a fail Miller: It’s not the end of the semester (laughs) Lee: I suspect the levity is a little bit inappropriate

This claim that Israel is committing a genocide is an absolute lie, and anyone that spreads it is participating in antisemitism. Even using Gaza Health Ministry figures, around 52,000 Palestinians have died, of which Israel estimates 20,000 were militants. That’s a combatant ratio of 1:1.5. In most urban conflicts, civilians account for 70–90% of deaths. By contrast, this is one of the most precise military operations in modern history. It reflects the extraordinary effort Israel is making to avoid civilian harm, often at the cost of their own soldiers and strategic advantage. War is brutal. Death is tragic. But it’s dishonest and antisemitic to accuse a country of genocide when the facts tell a very different story. Don’t start wars if you don’t want your people killed. These deaths are on Hamas.

In response to the Pope’s statement today: Cruelty is terrorists hiding behind children while trying to murder Israeli children; cruelty is holding 100 hostages for 442 days, including a baby and children, by terrorists and abusing them. Unfortunately, the Pope has chosen to ignore all of this, as well as the fact that Israel’s actions have targeted terrorists who used children as human shields. The Pope’s remarks are particularly disappointing as they are disconnected from the true and factual context of Israel’s fight against jihadist terrorism — a multi-front war that was forced upon it starting on October 7. The death of any innocent person in a war is a tragedy. Israel makes extraordinary efforts to prevent harm to innocents, while Hamas makes extraordinary efforts to increase harm to Palestinian civilians. The blame should be directed solely at the terrorists, not at the democracy defending itself against them. Enough with the double standards and the singling out of the Jewish state and its people.

So the Signal chat reveals that the US waited for the Houthis’ “top missile guy” to walk into a residential building where his girlfriend lived before launching an airstrike that collapsed it, which must have killed civilians. JD Vance said this was “excellent.”

Al-Qaeda comes to the White House

Senator @JohnFetterman blames social media for collapsing support for Israel among young Democrats: “Social media was an accelerant for antisemitism…that’s why we've lost the younger vote.” @BariWeiss: “Is there a way to change those minds?” Fetterman: “Right now, no.”

Just 50 seconds from one of Gaza’s aid lines. You don’t need commentary. Just watch how people move, how they run, how they try to stay alive while waiting for food. This is what Haaretz was talking about

Trump's current and former US Ambassadors to Israel, Mike Huckabee and David M. Friedman, performed a rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama" in Israel titled "Sweet Home Yerushalayim." The lyrics were changed to push for Greater Israel. (Please forgive me for posting this.)

Someone needs to explain to Douglas Marry that visiting a place on a state-sponsored propaganda tour doesn't count as a real visit and doesn't give him any credibility.

Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”

Ben Shapiro attacked Trump for warning Netanyahu to “hold off” on strikes against Iran during nuclear negotiations, insisting that Israel can do what it wants independent of America’s diplomatic interests. Israel receives billions in military aid from America annually and a security guarantee, but Shapiro seems to think that this entails nothing on Israel’s end. Credit: @Americultist Follow: @AFpost

I just watched a horrific video of a Syrian terrorist cutting the heart out of a Druze civilian as he was alive and defenseless!  I’m not going to link it here.  It made me sick to my stomach.  What’s being done to these people is unimaginable.  Meanwhile, our envoy, Barrack, denounces the Israelis who are the only people trying to protect them.

Wow, watch as Patel says he doesn’t know the specifics about Kamal Adwan hospital—even though it’s been relentlessly attacked by Israel for weeks—but still manages to justify the attacks. If he doesn’t know the specifics, how can he defend the attacks? @SMArikat: Is there anything this admin can do Patel: I’m not familiar with the specifics…Hamas uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes Said: It was Shifa hospital, and not Kamal Adwan, that was accused of having tunnels underneath Patel: Said, we know that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure and they have a wide network of tunnels

The PM of Israel meets with content creators in the U.S. and instructs them how to fight other Americans to secure support for the state of Israel. Americans should be disturbed by Bibi’s intervention in U.S. political culture.

Amb. Mike Huckabee on US-Israel relationship: "I've been married 51 years … There comes a point where there's just no point in even thinking about getting a divorce." "The reason Israel and the US will never get a divorce is because neither country can afford to pay the alimony …We're hooked up for life."

Because of you, Mr. President. I won’t let you down.

All antisemitic, racist, and bigoted messaging and other forms of communication should be aggressively condemned.  I don't care if it's Young Republicans or Young Democrats, members of Congress (too many to count), media that platforms and promotes such poison (which is often), organizations that invite bigots as speakers and debaters, podcasters, comedians, and on and on.  I also find it disgusting that some of those condemning the Young Republicans in the Politico piece, who most certainly should be condemned and removed, are as guilty as they are with their headlines, storylines, and promotion of a long list of bigots. It's sinister.  Even worse, those who routinely and PUBLICLY promote the garbage, for their own ratings or clicks, etc., are not even ashamed of it and seek to monetize it or worse.    Furthermore, I have stated and I am deeply concerned that the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Steve Bannon, and their ilk, as well as their apologists, who are not real MAGA or conservatives or Republicans, but a cabal of grifters, psychos, and exploiters, are being mainstreamed and do have an impact on the minds of too many young people (and too many would be one, but it's clearly more than that).  Where are the top Republicans denouncing them?  Where are other broadcast hosts, columnists, and public officials?  Those of us who speak out are few in number and often disparaged by the same media outlets that claim offense at the awful things reported in the Politico piece.  I am more than happy to have a bigger discussion about this, but as I observe and engage, I see too few with the guts to do so -- including people in the leftwing media. And where are the top Democrats denouncing Mamdani, Omar, Tlaib, Sanders, et al?  These are vile demagogues.  They are routinely platformed by the corporate media.  The fusion of the media with the Democrat Party makes it less possible to have a real and routine condemnation.  In fact, one wire service recently ran a story suggesting legitimate criticism of them and what they say is Islamophobia!  What about CAIR and scores of other like organizations, with ties to Hamas, spreading their hate and propaganda -- especially in the media? None identifies with the GOP.  Many work within the Democrat Party orbit.  Or they use Hamas propaganda, from casualty figures and accusations of starvation and genocide in Gaza allegedly perpetrated by the Israelis, spread throughout the media (accompanied at times with phony photographs), and regurgitated not only by independent media grifters but Democrat Party officials and surrogates, which is obviously intended to promote Jew-hatred?  The corporate Western media, which is overwhelmingly Democrat and leftwing, has played a huge role in spreading this hate. I am not talking about criticizing Israel; I am talking about spreading lies and hate.  The rot within the Democrat Party and their media (not to mention their allied academic institutions), promotes the soft if not outright embrace of terrorist and Marxist ideology, language, and front groups. What about the language used by the Democrats on any given Sunday on one of the network or cable shows against President Trump -- when he enforces the immigration laws, cuts programs or spending, gives a speech, and so forth.  I could go on and on.  I wrote extensively about this in Unfreedom of the Press.  Of course, there are times when such analogies against certain individuals or movements actually fit, but not against the president and his millions of supporters.  Indeed, that is nothing but agitprop, and part of the problem.  The corporate media, numerous media websites, and desperate podcasters, among others, are a huge part of all this. This cancer is, in fact, spreading.  In the meantime, I look forward to reading the texts Politico will undoubtedly secure from elements within the Democrat Party to prove how ubiquitous this problem is.  Right, Politico?   Oh, and this isn't about free speech.  I am not talking about the First Amendment and government action.  I am talking about we, the people, defending our civil society and our way of life from an evil and darkness that threatens them -- and those individuals and institutions that are spreading them. More later ...

He has lost his gottdam mind.

"It’s hard to keep track of the upheaval in Washington since President Trump’s inauguration, and even harder, amid the media freakout, to distinguish important changes from trivial ones. But what’s happening at the National Endowment for Democracy is a very big deal, and has not been previously reported. NED, a key U.S. instrument for supporting grassroots freedom movements around the world and founded under Reagan, is under siege. An order from DOGE to the U.S. Treasury that blocked disbursement of NED funds has crippled the organization—which received $315 million for fiscal year 2025—and its affiliates, The Free Press has learned. 'It’s been a bloodbath,' one NED staffer said. 'We have not been able to meet payroll and pay basic overhead expenses.' NED’s dismantling would be far more than a cost-cutting measure. It would symbolize a major change in U.S. foreign policy, undercutting the notion that democratic ideals foster U.S. global strength and influence. Instead, the Trump administration would be signaling that it no longer believes that promoting democracy around the globe is in the national interest.

Jewish settlers killed an American citizen in the West Bank (link in reply)

Honestly, who is this supposed to appeal to?

Van Jones, Thomas Friedman, and Bill Maher all agree that outrage over images of dead Palestinian babies in Gaza is the result of an Iran-Qatari social media "disinformation campaign." Russiagate normalized this fictional playbook of blaming any threat to elite imperatives on foreign adversaries brainwashing malleable Americans via "disinformation." It's in fact elite servile pundits who are the most brainwashed, disinformation-purveying people on earth:

If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us.
 I’m not going to let that happen.

Cities and states can boycott American companies all day long… but if they boycott Israeli companies, the Trump administration will cut off their federal funding.
