A new report concludes that there are 75 radical left-wing prosecutors linked to billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros, who has been spending lavishly in recent years to elect proponents of “criminal justice reform” across the country. The report, by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), is the first of its kind to put such a large figure on Soros’s role. When Soros’s role in such elections was first reported during the 2018 election cycle, the Los Angeles Times identified 21 races in which he was involved, and suggested that he might have been involved in far more that were...

Appearing on Newsmax TV with host Grant Stinchfield, Andrew Pollack, father of Parkland victim Meadow Pollack, blasted Joe Biden’s exploitation of the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting to push draconian gun control regulations that amount to a virtual repeal of the Second Amendment, saying none of Biden’s plans would have prevented the mass shooting tragedy at Meadow’s school and that “Biden’s wishes are a lie.” Andrew Pollack is the author of “Why Meadow Died: The People and Policies That Created the Parkland Shooter and Endanger America’s Students”. Meadow was his daughter, who was killed during a school shooting on...

Arutz Sheva Staff reported that radical left-wing activist and Ha'aretz employee Jonathan Pollack renewed his participation in the violent riots against IDF soldiers in Kfar Kadum last Friday, just one day after being released from a two-month detention. In a documentation of his behavior conducted by pro-Israel organization Ad Kan, Pollack and other anarchists were seen along with masked rioters throwing stones at IDF soldiers, burning tires, and participating in other acts of violence. On a video making the rounds on social media, riot organizers appear to be congratulating Pollack on his release before the riot begins. Later, rioters are...

The student protest at University of Florida Thursday brought a diverse range of people of all ages, student groups, organizations, homemade signs and political perspectives to the campus. One such sign was of Meadow Pollack, an 18-year old senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who was murdered in the 2018 shooting. A young "March For Our Lives" activist was photographed holding a piece of paper with Pollack's name, photo, and age. Typed underneath was "Parkland, FL" and "Mass Shooting." Pollack's father, Andrew Pollack, took to Twitter to voice his objections. "A @AMarch4OurLives activist is using a picture of my...

On No Interruption, Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren sat down with Andrew Pollack, father of Parkland shooting victim Meadow Pollack. Pollack became an outspoken advocate for school safety since the Parkland shooting, and he has now written a new book detailing his own investigation into the events that led to the massacre. “I wanted to look into it, I wanted to honor my daughter to see what happened, and how it could happen that I put my daughter in a school, in a nice neighboorhood, and then I’m never going to see her again,” Pollack said. “I wanted to know...

The father of a student shot and killed during the Parkland school massacre has been appointed to the state Board of Education, Gov. Rick Scott announced Friday evening. For 52-year-old Andy Pollack, it is all about accountability. “That word has haunted me since my daughter was murdered,” Pollack, of Coral Springs, said Friday night. His daughter, Meadow, 18, a senior, was shot nine times during the Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Meadow’s body was found in a third-floor hallway. She was lying on top of the body of 14-year-old freshman Cara Loughran, as if protecting her....

Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Florida's Broward County Sheriff's Office plans to change its policy on how deputies respond to active shooters in response to the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The policy changes include altering language in what is expected of deputies in active shooting situations to indicate they "shall" attempt to enter the scene and intervene rather than "may," according to an internal memo by Sheriff Scott Israel to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who is the chair of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission. The letter was obtained by the Miami...

Iranian Terrorist Attack Against U.S. Revealed How Bill Clinton concealed it from the public and U.S. intelligence. October 7, 2015 Arnold Ahlert    A bombshell report by the Washington Times reveals that fecklessness in the face of terror isn’t a condition exclusive to the Obama administration. "Bill Clinton’s administration gathered enough evidence to send a top-secret communique accusing Iran of facilitating the deadly 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing,” the Times states, "but suppressed that information from the American public and some elements of U.S. intelligence for fear it would lead to an outcry for reprisal, according to documents and interviews.” Nineteen American...

Question: Is it possible to defeat the vile Jan Schakowsky (wife of a felon) in the 9th Congressional race here in Chicago? One of our must-reads every day is Atlas Shrugs and the wildly entertaining Pamela Geller, who today endorsed Joel Pollak for the 9th Congressional race here in Chicago, where Pollak plans on taking down one of the most vile and corrupt members of the House, Jan Schakowsky (the wife of convicted felon Robert Creamer, who wrote Dr. Utopia’s Healthcare Rationing strategy while in prison for bank fraud and check kiting). Schakowsky is truly one of the worst human...

Harvard Law Student shares his view on Congressman Barney Frank. This guy (Barney Frank) is someone in a position of responsibility and authority, this guy is the one who’s making the regulations he’s responsible essentially for recreating and redesigning our financial system and he is not taking any responsibility for what happened at all. One of the reasons I do not consider myself a Democrat anymore is because, whenever you ask a question your labeled and put into a box.

It all started with a question: "How much responsibility, if any, do you have for the financial crisis?" Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and a conservative Harvard law student debated over how Frank should have handled his role as the House Chairman of the Financial Services Committee. Frank was at Harvard University for a speech at the Kennedy School of Government. Frank said the student wasn't backing up his claims, invoking some laughter from the crowd, and the student told Frank he wasn't answering his question. This student was absolutely incredible! "You're a public representative, I'm a student... it does allow...

Joel Pollack discusses his recent encounter with Barney Frank and how he handled Frank's "home crowd". He notes Frank blames conservative politicians and refuses to accept any level of responsibility. This kid is fantastic; I can't wait for him to run for office! Cavuto summarizes: "Well said, Joel. You said it better than politicians."

Keith Weissman and Steven Rosen Are PhDs and Middle East Experts Who Did Some Lobbying. They Thought They Were Doing What Washington Insiders Always Do. Thomas O’Donnell didn’t reveal his job when he phoned Keith Weissman in 2004 and got the policy analyst’s wife. He says he didn’t want to scare her. When Weissman returned the call and found out O’Donnell was an FBI agent, his first reaction was to attempt a joke: “What did I do?” “I’m sure you didn’t do anything,” O’Donnell told him. He wanted to meet that day, for five or ten minutes, and get Weissman’s...

Few editorials have generated as much heated debate as rapidly as the recent article from Brookings Institution scholars Mike O'Hanlon and Ken Pollock in the New York Times titled "A War We Just Might Win." The piece is the result of their extended visit to Iraq and discussions with military and political leaders there, which have led them to conclude that the Bush surge and some of the associated strategy changes are actually advancing our objectives in Iraq more than many expected or are aware of here in the US, especially in the media. In coverage of the articles and...

“The Interpreter”: Sean Penn’s U.N. Mash Note April 22, 2005 By Debbie Schlussel The last time I wrote about Jeff Spicoli a/k/a Sean Penn, he sent me an e-mail calling me the c-word. In the past, Penn reportedly shot reporters with a squirt gun filled with his urine, so I got off easy. Classy guy. I critiqued Penn’s absurd interview in the thankfully defunct Talk Magazine. It was just months after 9/11, and Spicoli was deluded from smoking too much pot, again. He didn’t just insist that President Bush, Rupert Murdoch, Howard Stern, and Bill O’Reilly were as bad as...

Since midsummer, the Senate Intelligence Committee has been attempting to solve the biggest mystery of the Iraq war: the disparity between the Bush Administration’s prewar assessment of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and what has actually been discovered. The committee is concentrating on the last ten years’ worth of reports by the C.I.A. Preliminary findings, one intelligence official told me, are disquieting. “The intelligence community made all kinds of errors and handled things sloppily,” he said. The problems range from a lack of quality control to different agencies’ reporting contradictory assessments at the same time. One finding, the official went...

BOOKS OF THE TIMES | 'THE PERSIAN PUZZLE' Kenneth M. Pollack's last book, "The Threatening Storm" (2002), made the case for invading Iraq a lot more eloquently than the Bush administration ever did and helped persuade some moderates who might not otherwise have supported the war to get behind it. In that book, Mr. Pollack argued not only that the United States should depose Saddam Hussein but also that it should go to war "the right way" - by dealing with Al Qaeda and the war on terrorism first, by restarting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and by building a large...

(Athens, GA) -- A star player for the University of Georgia football team is turning down an offer from "Playboy" to pose for a picture for the magazine's All-American football team. David Pollack, a defensive end who helped propel Georgia to it's first SEC championship in 20 years, says his religious beliefs are at odds with the magazine's content. Pollack told the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" that he is honored by the invitation, but can't square it with his faith. In Pollack's words, "when you talk to somebody about living their lives the right way and abstaining from sex until marriage, posing...
