Kristi Noem On DHS Leakers: “They Will Be Fired. There Will Be Consequences” (VIDEO)

0

(DC Pundit) – Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, revealed on Fox News Monday night that her agency has successfully pinpointed some of the “leakers” responsible for disseminating internal information to the press. It seems that in Washington, secrets are about as secure as a screen door in a hurricane.

The revelation comes after Noem suggested on Feb. 10 that “corrupt” FBI agents were behind a leaked memo regarding an upcoming “large-scale” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in the Los Angeles area, which ended up in the hands of the Los Angeles Times. Because nothing says “secret operation” like a front-page newspaper article. Border czar Tom Homan echoed Noem’s suspicions a day later, and Noem went on “Hannity” to say that “some” of the internal leakers had been caught, although she was cagey about which agency they belonged to or how many there were.

“I have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences. And, remember, when they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” Noem said. “They are risking their lives and putting their families in the position where they have to live without those individuals any further.”

The audacity of these individuals, prioritizing their own agendas over the safety of law enforcement officers and the security of the nation.

“We have used every tactic that we have. If you remember, we talked just last week about how I’m using polygraphs to go after and to really interview these folks because we are a national security agency. I have that tool I can use. Also looking at their emails, looking at their communications,” Noem added. “It’s amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to stop the work that we’re doing to bring safety to America, how they will sell each other down the river if it’s just to protect themselves. So don’t worry. I am doing everything to find these leakers and to get rid of them so that we can do our work and our law enforcement officers and agents can do it safely.”

Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration he has reversed a number of Biden-Harris administration policies on immigration, allowing ICE agents to arrest “criminal aliens,” including rapists and murderers. One might think that keeping such individuals off the streets would be a top priority for everyone, but apparently, some folks have different ideas.

The Los Angeles Times obtained an internal memo, publishing a report on Feb. 7 about federal law enforcement agents planning a “large-scale” raid in the Los Angeles area before the end of February.

Host Sean Hannity later asked Noem if leaking the information was “a crime,” saying that the release of such details could put agents’ lives “in jeopardy.”

“Absolutely. When they are breaking the law, we are prosecuting and holding them accountable to it,” Noem remarked. “So, you know, we’re not here to play games. This is about America. Any law enforcement officer that serves and partners not only with the Department of Homeland Security, but partners with us, listen, we respect you.”

“We honor the work that you do. We will take care of your family. We will take care of you. And we’ll go after those that threaten your lives by leaking this type of information,” Noem said, sounding every bit like the tough-as-nails secretary that conservatives want in charge of Homeland Security.

Following the leaks, both Homan and Noem said they would identify those responsible for the information being released, with Noem warning employees that polygraph tests would be used, according to Bloomberg.

The DHS has yet to provide further details on how many leakers have been identified or which agency the caught individuals belonged to.

10 Reasons Why Bongino’s FBI Appointment Is Great For America!

0

(DC Pundit) – It looks like the swamp is about to get a whole lot shallower! Former Secret Service Agent and conservative firebrand Dan Bongino has been tapped as the next FBI Deputy Director. The man who’s been exposing the deep state for years is now in a position to do something about it.

The news broke on Sunday, and President Trump himself couldn’t contain his excitement, posting on Truth Social: “Great news for American law-enforcement and Justice! Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our country has just been named the next deputy Director of the FBI, by the man who will be the best Director ever, Kash Patel.”

Trump continued, “He was a member of the New York police department and a highly respected Special Agent With the United States Secret Service and is now one of the most successful podcasters in the country, something he is willing and prepared to give up to serve.”

Dan Bongino, ever the patriot, expressed his gratitude to President Trump, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi. Some might call it career suicide to leave a lucrative podcasting gig, but Bongino, like many conservatives, puts country first.

The delicate snowflakes in mainstream media are clutching their pearls at this appointment. “Bongino? The conservative Bongino? In the FBI?” To which we say: spare us. The FBI needs someone who’s more interested in upholding the law than virtue signaling to the woke mob.

Here are ten reasons why Bongino as Deputy Director of the FBI is fantastic news for America:

Proven Law Enforcement Chops: Dan’s years with the NYPD and as a Secret Service agent give him real-world experience, not just desk-jockey credentials. He’s been in the trenches, not the swamp.

America First Patriot: Bongino’s unwavering love for this country shines through in everything he does. He’s not some globalist elite—he’s a guy who’ll put American justice and security first, no apologies. In an era where patriotism is often seen as passé, Bongino’s love for America is a breath of fresh air.

Trump’s Trusted Ally: With President Trump’s stamp of approval, you know Dan’s on the same page as the man who’s bringing law and order back to D.C. He’s loyal to the MAGA mission, not the deep state. This is crucial. The FBI needs leadership that aligns with the President’s vision.

Fearless Truth-Teller: Whether on his top-rated podcast or Fox News, Dan’s never been afraid to call out corruption, from the Russia hoax to the FBI’s past missteps. He’ll clean house and restore trust.

Anti-Establishment Bulldog: The D.C. bubble hates him, and that’s a badge of honor. Dan’s not here to play nice with the bloated bureaucracy—he’s here to drain the swamp and fix what’s broken. What some people in Washington call “playing nice,” we call “corruption.”

Street-Smart, Not Just Book-Smart: With a Master’s in Psychology and an MBA, Dan’s got the brains to back up his grit. He understands people, crime, and how to outsmart the bad guys—perfect for the FBI’s #2 spot. He isn’t some egghead academic with no life experience.

Second Amendment Champion: Dan’s a fierce defender of our gun rights, so you can bet he’ll steer the FBI away from harassing law-abiding citizens and toward tackling real threats. Finally, a high-ranking law enforcement official who understands the Constitution.

Outsider Perspective: Unlike the careerist insiders who’ve run the FBI into the ground, Dan brings a fresh set of eyes. He’s not tainted by the agency’s recent scandals—he’s here to rebuild it right. The phrase “fresh set of eyes” is an understatement.

Kash Patel’s Perfect Partner: Teaming up with Director Kash Patel, another Trump loyalist, Dan will help execute a bold vision to refocus the FBI on fighting crime, not pushing woke agendas or political witch hunts. Imagine what these two can accomplish together!

Relentless Work Ethic: He’s willing to ditch a wildly successful podcast to serve America again. That’s the kind of sacrifice and hustle conservatives respect—he’s all in for the mission. No better man for the job.

Dan Bongino’s appointment is a clear signal that the era of the FBI as a political weapon is coming to an end. Conservatives can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a principled, patriotic leader is ready to restore integrity to one of America’s most important institutions. It’s time to make the FBI great again.

Woody Harrelson: Dr. Fauci Was Doing ‘Extraordinarily Evil Sh-t’ (VIDEO)

0

(DC Pundit) – During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, actor Woody Harrelson unleashed an attack against Dr. Anthony Fauci, accusing the former NIAID head of engaging in “extraordinarily evil sh-t.” And you thought Hollywood only dealt in make-believe villains.

Harrelson, 63, who is known for his outspoken nature, also lauded Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as “heroic” and a “man who cares deeply” before taking aim at Fauci.

Harrelson began his critique by referencing the AIDS crisis and the drug Azidothymidine, or AZT, which was promoted by Fauci. “He started with the AZT thing,” Harrelson said. “And, you know, AZT was known to be a highly toxic, really ineffective drug, and of course, that was the one they picked.”

“And so they started using that again, and I don’t know how many people got killed,” the actor continued. “That killed friends of mine. AZT was very toxic and they finally had to yank it. And now they use different chemical cocktails, but like, Fauci did some extraordinarily evil sh-t.”

It’s certainly a bold claim, accusing a public health official of “extraordinarily evil sh-t.” Of course, as we all know, Harrelson has never been one to shy away from controversy.

Harrelson doubled down, stating, “And he knows what he did.”

One might argue that Fauci was simply doing his best with the information available at the time. However, with what we know today, that probably wasn’t the case. Fauci was most likely looking out for himself – and his pocketbook.

Rogan chimed in, mentioning that Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Fauci before he left office and arguing that Fauci might not be entirely off the hook. “These states can still sue him,” Rogan said. “There’s a lot of issues with being pardoned that I don’t think Biden took into consideration, or Fauci took into consideration either. I think he just wanted anything to protect him because he knew it was coming.”

The discussion ended with Rogan summarizing his feelings towards Fauci: “It’s just a bummer that someone had that kind of power for so long and was such a f-cking monster.” A sentiment, I suspect, shared by a fair number of Americans, even if they disagree on the specifics.

The AIDS crisis was a terrifying time, and public health officials were fighting a deadly disease with limited knowledge and resources. But that doesn’t mean they were infallible, or that their decisions shouldn’t be scrutinized. Harrelson is one of many who has a question or two about the job Fauci did during those troubling times.

Harrelson’s accusations highlight the deep distrust that many Americans feel towards public health institutions, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. And that distrust is a dangerous thing for a nation, particularly when facing a health crisis.

14-Year-Old Dies After Injecting Himself With Crushed Butterfly

0

(DC Pundit) – Davi Nunes Moreira, a 14-year-old boy from Brazil, has tragically died, allegedly in pursuit of social media fame. The new craze is apparently injecting oneself with crushed butterflies.

According to the Brazilian news outlet Mix Vale, Moreira’s demise is believed to be linked to a ludicrous social media challenge. Moreira reportedly plunged a syringe filled with liquefied butterfly directly into his right leg. The irony, of course, is that butterflies are beautiful and harmless, unless you decide to grind them into a slurry and inject them into your veins.

The aftermath was predictable. Over the next few days, young Moreira began experiencing vomiting and difficulty walking. As his condition deteriorated, his parents grew concerned, but the boy initially claimed he had merely injured himself while playing.

As Moreira began limping and experiencing pain in the affected leg, his parents grew concerned. They took him to the hospital. Doctors were stumped – probably because “butterfly injection” isn’t exactly covered in medical school.

The truth emerged only after Moreira was transferred to the Vitória da Conquista General Hospital, where he spent seven days. It took a week of doctors scratching their heads before the boy finally fessed up to his ill-advised experiment. By that point, it was too late. On February 13th, a little over a week after his self-administered “treatment,” he died at a hospital in Planalto, Brazil.

Moreira’s father later found the syringe under the boy’s pillow.

“It could have been an embolism, an infection, or an allergic reaction,” said Luiz Fernando D. Relvas, a specialist at Hospital Santa Marcelina in São Paulo, Brazil, per the U.K. Daily Mail. Relvas remarked, “We don’t know how he prepared this mixture or the size of the fragments he managed to inject into the body. There may have been air left inside, which could lead to an embolism.” An air or gas embolism, which occurs when bubbles enter a vein or artery, can block blood circulation and lead to death.

In essence, Moreira likely turned himself into a science experiment gone horribly wrong, all for the sake of fleeting online attention.

Zelenskyy Offers Resignation: Desperate Plea Or Political Stunt?

(DC Pundit) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, facing mounting pressure on the battlefield and dwindling support from some Western allies, has made a rather dramatic offer: he would “immediately” step down from his post in exchange for Ukraine gaining NATO membership. This announcement, made on Sunday, has left many observers wondering if it’s a desperate gambit to secure his country’s future or a carefully calculated move to pressure NATO into action.

“If there is peace for Ukraine, if you really need me to leave my post, I am ready. … I can exchange it for NATO,” Zelenskyy was quoted by AFP as saying during a press conference in Kyiv. He even went so far as to say he would depart “immediately” if necessary. One might say this is the ultimate sacrifice, but is it a genuine offer or a theatrical ploy?

It’s hard to know what to make of Zelenskyy these days. On the one hand, he’s a wartime leader who has shown courage and resilience in the face of Russian aggression. On the other hand, he’s also a politician who is clearly desperate to secure his country’s future, even if it means making some questionable decisions.

Is he truly willing to sacrifice his own position for the sake of his country’s security, or is he simply trying to manipulate NATO into granting Ukraine membership by appealing to their sense of guilt and responsibility?

For years, NATO membership has been the holy grail for Ukraine, seen as the ultimate guarantee against Russian aggression. However, the reality is far more complicated. Bringing Ukraine into NATO would almost certainly trigger a direct military confrontation with Russia, a scenario that few in the West are willing to contemplate.

Zelenskyy also expressed his desire to see a stronger partnership with the United States, particularly with President Donald Trump, viewing him as more than just a mediator between Kyiv and Moscow. “I really want it to be more than just mediation… that’s not enough,” he remarked, as per Reuters.

Trump has been critical of NATO, arguing that many member states are not paying their fair share. However, he also understands the importance of standing up to Russian aggression. It’s possible that Zelenskyy sees Trump as someone who would be willing to take a tougher stance against Putin.

Is this all about Zelenskyy maintaining power by any means necessary? Only time will tell.

This Democratic Party Rep. Just Said That Musk And Trump Are “Agents Of Corruption”

0

(DC Pundit) – Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) took to CNN’s “The Lead” on Friday to unleash his anger against Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, claiming that it is “becoming obvious to the American people” that the two are “agents of corruption.” One might suggest that Raskin’s claim is about as believable as Biden’s assurances that the border was secure.

Raskin, a man who seems to have an endless supply of outrage for anyone who dares to challenge the Democratic narrative, appears to be particularly incensed by Musk and Trump’s efforts to streamline government and root out waste. Apparently, in his world, efficiency is a form of corruption. Go figure.

It’s amusing to watch Democrats accuse Republicans of corruption. These are the same people who have turned Washington into a swamp of cronyism and self-enrichment. They’re the ones who are raking in millions while many of us struggle to make ends meet. But sure, let’s listen to Raskin lecture us on ethics.

Raskin, who seemingly fancies himself a legal savant, boasted, “We’re beating them everywhere. We’ve gotten more than 20 different temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions by judges who were appointed by Obama, by Trump himself, by Bush, by Ronald Reagan. They’re all ruling against this administration because what they’re doing is violating Congress’s power to set up departments and agencies.” So, according to Raskin, the fact that some judges have sided with the Democrats in these legal battles proves that Musk and Trump are corrupt. Never mind the possibility that these judges might be politically motivated.

He continued his legal grandstanding, “We created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, we created the NIH, we created the Department of Education and if anybody is going to dissolve it or terminate it, it’s going to be Congress, not Elon Musk or Donald Trump. They don’t have the power to do that.” It seems Raskin believes that once Congress creates a government agency, it becomes an untouchable entity, regardless of its effectiveness or lack thereof. It’s a comforting thought for those benefitting from the bloated bureaucracy, but not so much for the taxpayers who foot the bill.

Raskin then invoked the Constitution, stating, “The core job of the president himself, under Article Two is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not that the laws are ravaged and trashed and dissolved and flushed down the the garbage compactor. So we’re winning in court.” Ah yes, the “faithful execution” clause. It’s amazing how often liberals selectively interpret the Constitution to justify their political agendas.

It’s always the same with those on the left. They claim to be defending democracy and the rule of law, but what they’re really defending is their own power and privilege. They don’t want to see the government streamlined or made more efficient because that would mean less money and less influence for them.

He concluded his rant with the aforementioned accusation that “I think it’s becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption.” It’s a bold claim, to be sure, but one that is utterly devoid of evidence or substance. It’s nothing more than a desperate smear attempt.

Perhaps Raskin should spend less time making baseless accusations and more time focusing on the real problems facing our country – like the exploding national debt, the crisis at the border, and the erosion of our fundamental freedoms. But then again, that would require him to acknowledge the failures of his own party, and that’s something he’s clearly not willing to do.

Rainbow Nation: LGBTQ+ Identification Nearly Triples, Driven By Gen Z; Traditional Values Under Siege?

0

(DC Pundit) – The latest Gallup poll is raising some serious questions about the direction of our society. According to the survey, LGBTQ+ identification in the United States has spiked to a staggering 9.3 percent – a near-doubling since 2020 and a far cry from the mere 3.5 percent reported in 2012. This surge, it seems, is being driven primarily by the younger generation, particularly Gen Z adults.

“In the 12 years that Gallup has been tracking LGBTQ+ identification, it has nearly tripled, as those becoming adults during that period have been far more likely than their elders to say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender,” wrote Gallup senior editor Jeffrey M. Jones. In other words, the kids aren’t alright, at least in terms of adhering to traditional notions of sexuality.

Call me old-fashioned, but I’m starting to think that something is going on here. I’m not saying that people shouldn’t be free to live their lives as they choose, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that this sudden increase in LGBTQ+ identification coincides with the relentless promotion of radical gender ideology in our schools, media, and popular culture.

The survey reveals that nearly a quarter (23.1 percent) of Gen Z adults, those born between 1997 and 2006, identify as LGBTQ+. That’s almost one in four young adults! “The recent increase is largely due to more adults in their late teens, 20s and 30s — particularly young women — saying they are bisexual,” Jones added. Are these genuine expressions of identity, or are young people being pressured to conform to a new set of social expectations?

“Each older generation of adults, from millennials to the Silent Generation, has successively lower rates of identification, down to 1.8% among the oldest Americans, those born before 1946,” Jones’ analysis detailed. It seems the further back you go, the more resistant people are to embracing these labels. Coincidence? I think not.

Among Millennials, those born between 1982 and 1996, 14.2 percent say they are LGBTQ+. Among Gen X, 5.1 percent say the same, followed by 3 percent of Baby Boomers. The generational divide is striking, and it begs the question: what’s changed?

According to the survey, Gen Z has a higher LGBTQ+ identification than other generations because “they are much more likely to consider themselves bisexual than are older people.” Nearly 6 in 10 (59 percent) of Gen Z adults who identify as LGBTQ+ say they are bisexual, as do 52 percent of LGBTQ+ Millennials. The share drops to 44 percent among LGBTQ+ Gen Xers, and accounts for less than 20 percent of LGBTQ+ Baby Boomers, and 11 percent of LGBTQ+ Silent Generation adults. It almost seems like being “bisexual” is becoming the new normal, a trendy label that allows young people to express their individuality and signal their allegiance to progressive values.

Among overall U.S. adults, 1.4 percent say they are lesbian, 2 percent say they are gay, 5.2 percent say they are bisexual, and 1.3 percent say they are transgender.

Among adults who identify as LGBTQ+, a whopping 56.3 percent say they are bisexual, 14.6 percent say they are lesbian, 21.1 percent say they are gay, and 13.9 percent say they are transgender. Nearly 4 percent of LGBTQ+ respondents say they are “other,” while 1 percent identify as pansexual and 1.2 percent say they are asexual. It’s a veritable alphabet soup of identities, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of them all.

Gallup additionally found that LGBTQ+ identification differs by sex, political orientation, and urbanicity. “Whether due to political sorting or something else,” Democrats (14 percent) and independents (11 percent) are more likely than Republicans (3 percent) to identify as LGBTQ+, Jones wrote.

By ideologies, the difference is even more stark, with 21 percent of liberals saying they are LGBTQ+ compared to 8 percent of moderates and 3 percent of conservatives. This confirms what many conservatives have long suspected: that LGBTQ+ identity is often intertwined with a broader political agenda.

By sex, 10 percent of women versus 6 percent of men identify as LGBTQ+, a difference mostly caused by women being more likely than men to identify as bisexual, the survey found. The gap between the sexes is much more pronounced among Gen Z and Millennials: 31 percent of Gen Z women versus 12 percent of Gen Z men identify as LGBTQ+, as do 18 percent of Millennial women and 9 percent of Millennial men. Most of those women say they are bisexual, according to the poll report. Are young women simply more open to exploring their sexuality, or are they being influenced by social pressure to conform to a certain ideal?

Gallup found that people living in cities are more likely to identify as LGBTQ+ (11 percent) compared to people in the suburbs (10 percent) and rural areas (7 percent). It appears the closer you are to a progressive utopia, the more likely you are to embrace a non-traditional sexual identity.

Jones assesses that the rates of LGBTQ+ identification are “likely to continue to grow, given the generational shifts underway.” It seems the cultural revolution is here to stay, and it’s transforming our society in profound ways.

Are we witnessing a genuine shift in human sexuality, or are we simply seeing the result of relentless social engineering? Are we becoming more tolerant and inclusive, or sacrificing traditional values at the altar of political correctness?

Sweet Justice: ICE Raids Texas Bakery And Arrests 8 Illegal Aliens, Owners Face Charges

(DC Pundit) – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently conducted a raid on Abby’s Bakery in South Texas, resulting in the arrest of eight illegal aliens and leaving the bakery’s owners facing serious charges of harboring and abetting criminals. It seems the only thing rising at this bakery was the risk of federal prosecution.

The bakery owners, Leonardo Baez and Nora Alicia Avila-Guel, allegedly admitted to knowingly hiring and sheltering illegal aliens – a flagrant violation of federal law that not only undermines our immigration system but also exacerbates the ongoing border crisis. Now, you might think these bakery owners were simply trying to provide an opportunity to hard-working individuals. But when you knowingly break the law to do it, it’s not about compassion, it’s about exploiting a broken system for personal gain.

It’s always the same story, isn’t it? These businesses want cheap labor, so they hire illegal aliens and turn a blind eye to the law. They don’t care about the consequences for our country; they only care about their bottom line. It’s a disgrace.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) confirmed that the pair was charged with bringing in and harboring aliens and aiding and abetting the harboring of aliens, offenses that carry serious penalties under U.S. law. If convicted, Baez and Avila-Guel could face significant fines and even prison time.

Instead of reporting the illegal aliens to authorities or complying with federal employment laws, the bakery owners allegedly chose to harbor them, even providing shelter for some of the individuals on their own property. It seems they were more concerned with keeping their labor costs down than upholding the rule of law.

The Texas Tribune reported: “Agents conducted a “worksite enforcement action” at Abby’s Bakery in Los Fresnos and apprehended eight immigrant workers on Feb. 12 following a tip the agency received in December, according to Special Agent Dillon Duke with Homeland Security Investigations, who testified during a preliminary hearing Friday morning.

Six of the immigrants were in the country on temporary visas that do not grant them permission to work in the U.S. It is unclear if they were in the U.S. longer than their visas permitted, but immigration officials have since removed them to Mexico.

The tipster informed the agency that the business owners were harboring and employing immigrants without pay, Duke said. However, when the agents questioned an employee, he said he received $8 per hour. During the raid of the business — which also includes Dulce’s Cafe — agents also searched an apartment located on the side of the building where several of the employees lived. Duke described the apartment as a rectangular room with six beds along the wall, two bathrooms and no kitchen. The windows were covered with cardboard.

Agents also questioned the couple, who allegedly admitted they knew their employees were not authorized to work in the U.S.”

The conditions described paint a disturbing picture of exploitation and disregard for human dignity. Six beds crammed into a rectangular room, windows covered with cardboard – it sounds more like a sweatshop than a bakery.

The couple’s attorneys argued during a court hearing on Friday that offering shelter to their employees did not constitute an attempt to hide them from authorities and that there was no evidence suggesting the employees were prohibited from leaving the apartment.

They attempted to sugarcoat the situation, but the judge wasn’t buying it, setting a $100,000 bond with a $15,000 cash deposit for each defendant. This sends a clear message that the courts are taking this case seriously and that there will be consequences for those who violate our immigration laws.

We need to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and hold accountable those who seek to profit from the broken system.

SICKENING: New Details On What Hamas Did With Two Children They Took Hostage

(DC Pundit) – The depravity knows no bounds. On Thursday morning, Hamas terrorists released the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including two murdered young children, in a move that can only be described as a grotesque display of inhumanity. While the world should be reeling with righteous anger, the response from many in the media has been muted, to say the least.

The body of Kfir Bibas, the youngest hostage taken at just nine months old, was paraded through the streets to celebratory music along with the bodies of his brother, Ariel, only four when he was kidnapped, and a body said to be of their mother, Shiri, 33. The body of Oded Lifshitz, 84, was also released. It’s difficult to imagine a more horrific scene: innocent children, brutally murdered, their bodies used as props in a macabre propaganda display. And some people want to tell us there are “good people” on both sides of this conflict.

Let’s be clear: Hamas is not a political organization; it’s a terrorist group whose sole mission is the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews. Anyone who defends or excuses their actions is complicit in their barbarity.

During the transfer of the bodies to the Red Cross for return to Israel, cheering Gazans lined the streets with celebratory music. Think about that for a moment. People celebrating the murder of babies.

Disturbing new details are emerging about how the two were murdered by Hamas. According to IDF medical examiners, Kfir and Ariel were brutally choked to death. Choked to death. These monsters snuffed out the lives of two innocent children with their bare hands.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari shared in a televised statement, “We can confirm that baby Kfir Bibas, aged just 10 months old, and his older brother Ariel, aged four, were both brutally murdered by terrorists while being held hostage in Gaza no later than November 2023.”

He continued, “These two innocent children were taken hostage alive, together along with their mother, Shiri, from their home on October 7, 2023.”

Hagari went on to say, “Contrary to Hamas’s lies, Ariel and Kfir were not killed in an airstrike. Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood.” In other words, Hamas, ever the reliable source of information, tried to blame Israel for the deaths of the children they themselves murdered.

“The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys — they killed them with their bare hands.” The sheer brutality of this act defies comprehension.

In an additional disturbing twist, the body thought to have been the boys’ mother, Shiri Bibas, that was returned alongside the children could not be identified by Israeli military, said forensic testing.

Instead, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleges Hamas had “put the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin.” If true, this is yet another example of Hamas’s cynical manipulation and utter disregard for human dignity.

Ismail al-Thawabta, a spokesman for the terrorist organization, suggests Shiri’s remains had been mixed up with other bodies under rubble after an Israeli air strike. Again, Hamas attempts to deflect blame and spread disinformation.

The media’s response to this atrocity has been, to put it mildly, underwhelming. While they are quick to condemn Israel for any perceived wrongdoing, they seem hesitant to call out Hamas for their blatant acts of terrorism. It’s a double standard that is both infuriating and dangerous.

Hamas is a terrorist organization that must be eradicated. Their continued existence poses a threat to civilized society. We must stand unequivocally with Israel in their fight against these monsters and demand that they be held accountable for their crimes. The memories of Kfir and Ariel Bibas demand nothing less.

These Three Shocking Statements From Rep. Jasmine Crockett Showcase Exactly Why Trump Won

0

(DC Pundit) – Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) believes she’s cracked the code on Donald Trump’s enduring popularity. In a recent appearance on “The View,” the Texas Democrat was asked by Alyssa Farah Griffin why Trump’s policies continue to resonate with so many Americans. Crockett’s answer? A classic liberal trope: People are simply not “sufficiently educated.”

Ah yes, the old “you’re too stupid to understand” routine. It’s the go-to explanation for leftists when they can’t comprehend why anyone would disagree with them. Apparently, millions of Americans are just too dense to grasp the brilliance of progressive policies.

Makes you wonder how they manage to tie their shoes in the morning, right?

The congresswoman remarked, “My takeaway is just like the election. We’ve got to do better at education. People don’t understand.” In other words, if only those pesky Trump voters were enlightened enough to see the error of their ways, everything would be just peachy. It’s amazing how often Democrats attribute their electoral defeats to the supposed ignorance of the electorate, rather than, say, the unpopularity of their policies.

But Crockett’s remarks on “The View” are just the tip of the iceberg. Last week, she had what can only be described as a complete meltdown while protesting outside the Treasury Department against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“We will not take this!” she screamed. “We will fight back! And God damn it shut down the Senate! We are at war!” Ah, the measured and thoughtful rhetoric we’ve come to expect from our elected officials.

She continued her tirade, “We gonna be in yo face! We gonna be on yo asses!” Because nothing says “democracy” like shouting profanities at your political opponents. “We are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like! This ain’t it!”

And just to make sure everyone got the message, she taunted, “So let me tell you something Mr. Trump, you gonna learn a few lessons from us. You and your little friend off of Twitter, y’all are about to find out!” It’s unclear exactly what lessons Trump and Musk are supposed to learn, but one can assume they involve lots of screaming and finger-pointing.

It’s always amusing to see liberals get so worked up. They seem to think that shouting and protesting will somehow change the minds of people who disagree with them. Newsflash: it doesn’t. It just makes them look unhinged.

Speaking of DOGE, President Trump recently floated the idea of using 20 percent of the money recovered from DOGE to give directly to Americans, with another 20 percent potentially going toward paying down the national debt. A novel concept, wouldn’t you say? Actually returning some of the taxpayers’ money to them?

Naturally, Crockett wasn’t thrilled with the idea. Asked by ABC News whether she thinks redistributing DOGE savings is a good idea, the 43-year-old congresswoman responded with a healthy dose of skepticism: “What they’re going to do is say, ‘Hey, we want to give you a refund, but Congress won’t let us because they already know that there’s just no money for that.'”

She continued, “We are not in the business of giving out money, and honestly, I don’t know what $5,000 will do for you…”

So, according to Crockett, giving money back to the people is a bad idea? It’s unclear how keeping the money in the government’s coffers would magically avert an economic downturn. Perhaps she thinks the government can spend its way out of a recession, despite all evidence to the contrary.

In conclusion, Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s condescending attitude towards Trump supporters, coupled with her unhinged protests and questionable economic reasoning, suggest that she might be better suited for a career in performance art than in public service.
