  • Di Leo: A Helicopter Crashes, and an Opportunity is Missed

    American Thinker ^ | May 22, AD 2024 | John F Di Leo
    “My condolences.” “I’m so sorry for your loss.” “My sympathies.” “May he rest in peace.” Raised as we are in Western civilization, we have an instinctive response when we hear of someone’s death, whether by natural causes, by accident, or even by murder. We think first of his or her family and friends, we naturally empathize with their sorrow, and we wish them these words and more, heartfelt and seriously. We would be sad if a loved one died, and we assume that everyone must have loved ones. Our sympathy is automatic. One wouldn’t think this would be a problem,...
  • Di Leo: Will the Election Be Rigged?

    Illinois Review ^ | May 20, AD 2024 | John F Di Leo
    One of the big questions this year – and every year, frankly – is this: Will there be vote fraud again? Will they steal it again? Unfortunately, that’s the wrong question. Imagine looking at an economy and asking, “Will there be any bankruptcies this year? Will any factories have layoffs? Will retail or restaurant chains close any locations?” You can’t judge it that way, can you? In all economies, strong or weak, some businesses will go under, some plants will have layoffs, and some chains will have to close some sites. Even in boom times, this happens. You judge whether...

    I’m allowed to say the following because I’m Irish. We get to say it about each other. Except this time, the N-word is “Nazi.”Ireland, Norway, and Spain are now recognizing a country that does not exist and never has.Ireland Recognizes Palestine As Independent StateSo: Hamas butchers and rapes a bunch of innocent people, diligently documents it all on livestream video, and now the world is supposed to hand them a state? Please take that idea and stuff it up your bottom with a broom handle till your tonsils ache.It’s official: Antisemitism is mainstream, and nobody cares because none of these...

    The College Fix ^ | 17 May2024 | Courtney Graves
    UCLA officials thwarted an effort by a conservative student group seeking to bring the “Jihad Watch” founder to campus, reportedly putting a lock on the doors to the planned venue and refusing to open them Wednesday evening over safety concerns. Pro-Israel speaker Robert Spencer was scheduled to speak at 6:00 p.m. but “the doors of the Bruin Viewpoint Room were locked,” according to Young America’s Foundation, the group seeking to host the event. “After contacting university officials, YAF was informed that the event would need to be moved to a low-traffic, remote location – an unacceptable last minute change that...

    The IDF has discovered the bodies of three of the hostages:The military announced Friday that soldiers recovered the bodies of three hostages from the Gaza Strip, as intensive fighting raged there between Israeli forces and Hamas.The three were named as Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila, and Shani Louk.In a press statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the bodies were recovered in an overnight operation carried out by the military and Shin Bet.The IDF is understandably laconic on the details, but later in the article it mentions that “some of the intelligence for the operation came from Palestinian terror suspects...

    To those calling for Justice Alito's (and Justice Thomas') recusal on January 6th cases because their wives expressed personal political opinions (3 years ago): Meet the-late Ramona Ripston. For 38 years, she led the ACLU of Southern California. She was the wife of the-late Judge Stephen Reinhardt on the Ninth Circuit. Ramona Ripston filed an amicus brief in the trial court in a same-sex marriage case. Judge Reinhardt--her husband--heard the appeal. He faced calls for his recusal. The left expressed indignation in this 2013 court filing:

    Powerline ^ | 18 May 2024 | Scott Johnson
    New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez and his wife are charged with corruption the likes of which will serve as fodder for Hollywood at some point. We haven’t kept up with his developing defense. Senator Menendez ungallantly blames his wife, who will stand trial separately. “[S]he took all the bribes, he claims,” the editors of the New York Post point out, “which doesn’t explain why he provided all the pro quos if she was pocketing the quid.” Good point! The movie will be a comedy/satire. The Post editors continue:His lawyers say Nadine Menendez “sidelined” her hubby, and “withheld information” to make...

    Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg laid out his 34-count indictment of President Trump with links to underlying documents in this press release dated April 4, 2023. The indictment relies on section 175.10 of New York’s criminal law (“Falsifying business records in the first degree”): “A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.”In his most recent update on the trial, Andrew McCarthy concisely...

    I USUALLY avoid MSM news like the plague, but was driving listening to Classic FM the other day when one of their bulletins came on. Listening to it made me realise just how badly the British public are being misinformed about Donald Trump’s so-called hush money trial. Let’s backtrack. Ask yourself, what crime is it that Trump is being accused of committing? Paying hush money? No, this is not a crime. Indeed Non Disclosure Agreements, NDAs, are actually legally binding agreements, and are not illegal in any way. Keeping the payments secret? No, that is the whole purpose of an...

    Richard Pollock Substack ^ | 16 May 2024 | Richard Pollock
    Alex Winston’s riveting article in the Jerusalem Post, “A Tale of two Leaders: The Paris meetings between Ben-Gurion and Ho Chi Minh” exposes the widespread post-war thirst for freedom by the post-World War II anti-colonial movement. It also brilliantly refutes the contention that Israel was a colonial enterprise.In fact, the Jewish peoples search for repatriation to their ancient homeland was part of a worldwide search by various national liberation movements from the European colonial powers. It was a part of the global effort by countries seeking national self-determination.This movement was fully embraced by the American Left following World War II....

    Leading Democrats have realized that Joe Biden is hopeless as a presidential candidate, and that Donald Trump may actually win the election. Their desperation is therefore mounting, and they are pulling out all the stops.For a long time, the New York Times has been basically a clipping service for the Democratic National Committee. But in the present crisis, the Times is taking hysteria to a level that might embarrass even the DNC. This headline, from today’s Times, is so over the top as to be unintentionally funny. But no, it is not a parody. The Democrats really are this crazed:

    VIDEOThis January 2024 speech by Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico seems to give us the reasons for the assassination attempt upon him. Part of the reason is Fico's rejection of the WHO pandemic policy but even more because Fico called out the corruption of Ukraine aid money while decrying the senseless slaughter of that proxy war which should have been ended over two years ago had it not been for the intervention of Boris Johnson who nixed the peace agreement reached between Ukraine and Russia.Hopefully the perp who was apprehended in the wake of the assassination attempt upon the populist...

    The 2023-2024 school year is closing on a sour note. No one should be surprised. Numerous colleges are cancelling their commencement exercises. Where they don’t cancel them; numerous graduating students are choosing not to attend, out of safety fears. And on Sunday, May 12, comedian Jerry Seinfeld – as inoffensive a speaker as one can imagine in a politically-charged time – stood up to give an address at Duke University’s commencement ceremony, and hundreds of attendees booed him, with dozens walking out of the event in protest. (Just how many of these were graduating students, faculty and administrators versus how...

    As American campuses boil over with hatred for Israel and for Jews in general, it’s helpful to know what we’re dealing with. Below are five brief lessons: 1. Michael Moore channels 19th century German racists to prove that protestors calling for the mass murder of Jews are not antisemitic. 2. Professor David Bernstein notes that, like today’s campus protestors, most antisemites of the past were quite fond of Jews—as long as said Jews were sufficiently contemptuous of other Jews. 3. Israeli grad student Iddo Gefen discovers disturbing antisemitism at Columbia and then veers toward futile left-of-center virtue-signaling. 4. Karol Markowicz...
