Anti-Israel Actions Taken by the Biden Administration in the Wake of Oct. 7th Massacre
1) Making BDS government policy by creating a sanctions program aimed at Jews living in Judea and Samaria. Advertisementhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/gaza-cant-be-peaceful-without-jews-germany-day-after-hamas-e13583f32) Preventing Gazans from fleeing conflict to increase pressure on Israel: the Biden Administration supported the Hamas/Egypt policy of keeping Gazans trapped in Gaza, the only people in the world not allowed to flee a conflict. Biden treated Egypt’s border with Gaza like he should have treated America’s with Mexico, and vice versa. Trump understands the ICC is simply the international version of the lawfare that has been directed at him. Trump can make clear to other governments that rewarding Oct. 7th is not something America will look favorably on.

Project Veritas' Defamation Suit Against CNN Revived on Appeal
Project Veritas’ defamation suit challenging CNN’s on-air assertion that its Twitter account was suspended because it was spreading misinformation was improperly dismissed, a federal appeals court said Thursday. The lower court applied the wrong standard in dismissing the case, Judge Elizabeth L. Branch said for the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Veritas is known for conducting undercover investigations seeking to expose misconduct in the public and private sectors, Branch said. It had an extensive presence on Twitter until February 2021, when it published the number of a house that a Facebook officer was in front of when ...

Washington Post reporter suggests FS1 is more ‘woke’ than ESPN
Photo Credit: FS1Compared to past election cycles, it’s safe to say that legacy sports media channels ESPN and FS1 have, on the whole, been reluctant to talk politics on-air. “The one true woke sports network in November of 2024 is not ESPN but it’s Fox Sports 1,” Strauss began. Either one.”“And on the flip side who are the two faces of ESPN,” Strauss questioned to continue his theory. Viewers tune into ESPN or FS1 for sports and cable news for politics. And for that reason, the lines have blurred, and neither ESPN nor FS1 should lay claim to the “woke” or “anti-woke” labels that have essentially lost all meaning.

Why inflation helped tip the election toward Trump, according to experts
Why inflation helped tip the election toward Trump, according to expertsA surging stock market, low unemployment and robust growth -- by just about every measure, the economy stood poised to deliver victory for Vice President Kamala Harris. The political potency of inflation stems from the visceral, recurring sense of unease caused by high prices, experts added. Prices began to rise rapidly in the U.S. in 2021, catapulting the inflation rate to a peak of about 9% the following year. Consumers will likely acclimate to current price levels over the coming months, but voters will remain sensitive to inflation, experts said. When asked about whether inflation could reemerge as an important issue ahead of the next midterm elections in 2026, Jackson said: “If Republicans shoot themselves in the foot, absolutely.”Why inflation helped tip the election toward Trump, according to experts originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

How Jayden Maiava remained ready to seize the USC quarterback job
Close enough that Jayden Maiava, the insurgent transfer from Nevada Las Vegas, believed at the time that he'd done enough to be named USC's starting quarterback. "This kid got to go in, do spring football, do the first nine games and learn," Porter said. 2 quarterback, Maiava tried to let go of what he couldn't control and "fall in love with the process," he said. That was a telling approach to Porter, who for many years coached Heisman winner and current Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. "That's how I knew Jayden [Maiava] had a chance to be very, very special," he said.
