Animal abuser screams 'Do you know who I am?' while cops try to stop him drowning dog on 

Yerko Mendoza-Patino, 37, (insert) was arrested on February 28 after dragging a dog into the surf at South Pointe Beach, police said. Video showed Mendoza-Patino gripping his dog by the collar and dunking its head underwater 'several times' while wading deeper into the ocean

 

Shocking new bodycam footage has captured the moment a Miami Beach man was tackled to the ground by police after allegedly trying to drown a dog in the ocean.

Yerko Mendoza-Patino, 37, was arrested on February 28 after dragging a dog into the surf at South Pointe Beach, police said.

The newly released video, obtained by NBC6, shows lifeguards racing to the scene around 7:15 pm as a man identified by the authorities as Mendoza-Patino stood waist-deep in the water.

The individual was seen gripping his dog by the collar and dunking its head underwater 'several times' while wading deeper into the ocean - all as furious onlookers screamed at him to stop. 

'Stop f***ing touching me!' the suspect yelled at lifeguards as they tried to separate him from the animal. 'Do you know who the f*** I am?!'

Miami Beach Ocean Rescue struggled to free the dog as the individual resisted, at one point kicking water at those trying to help. 

Once officers arrived, the situation escalated as the suspect flailed and shouted profanities as police forced him face-down into the sand and slapped on handcuffs.

Bodycam footage showed officers carrying him off the beach by his hands and feet as the crowd erupted in applause.

Several witnesses told police they had seen Mendoza-Patino kick the dog in the head while dragging it into the surf.

According to arrest documents, he initially gave police a false name and date of birth.

 Officers also noted he 'actively resisted by tensing his body, pulling his arms away, and refusing verbal commands'.

The visibly shaken dog was gently led away by police officers, who comforted the pup before placing it in the back of a patrol cruiser.

Authorities said the dog was taken into protective custody and is now safe.

Mendoza-Patino was charged with animal cruelty, resisting an officer without violence, disorderly conduct, and providing false identification to law enforcement, WFOR reported.

If convicted, Mendoza-Patino faces up to seven years in jail and $12,000 in fines, with the most serious charge, animal cruelty, carrying a maximum sentence of five years behind bars.

The footage emerged a month after a Florida pediatrician has avoided jail for abandoning her dog in a dumpster, forced to eat it's own feces to avoid starvation.

Anita Damodaran, 38, pled guilty Thursday, June 12 and was sentenced to just two years of probation. After which, her crimes may be expunged from her record.

PODCAST REVEALS HOW STRONG THE HOSTILITY TO ISRAEL AND NETANYAHU IS AMONG A SIGNIFICANT SEGMENT OF YOUNG AMERICANS

Torrent of hate after Netanyahu interview on popular podcast

The premier is concerned that younger Americans are less supportive of Israel. The actions of the podcasters confirmed his fears.

The “Full Send” podcast featuring Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Kyle Forgeard is on his left and Aaron “Steiny” Steinberg is on his right.

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in an interview broadcast on Monday on a podcast popular with young men in the United States. What emerged is how strong the hostility to Israel and Netanyahu is among a significant segment of young Americans.

While the podcasters were friendly during the interview, their subsequent actions revealed how they felt the need to bend over backward to satisfy the hostility of their audience, going so far as to invite anti-Israel and antisemitic influencers for a live-streamed conversation immediately following the interview’s broadcast.

Kyle Forgeard and Aaron Steinberg, both 30, who host the “Full Send Podcast,” understood there would be blowback.

“Probably going to be a lot of hate in the comments and stuff,” Forgeard said to Steinberg before bringing Netanyahu on. “We’re journalists, right?” said Steinberg. “How can you pass up this opportunity at the end of the day?”

Forgeard and Steinberg are part of the Nelk Boys, a group of influencers known for online pranks and interviews with athletes and pop culture figures. The group has started promoting right-wing figures and causes. They endorsed US President Donald Trump in his 2024 election bid.

The duo interviewed Netanyahu at Blair House on July 8, when he was in Washington, DC to meet with Trump.

In the live-stream after the Netanyahu interview, Forgeard and Steinberg asked the opinion of anti-Israel influencers Sneako, Myron Gaines, Hasan Piker and, most notoriously, Nick Fuentes.

Fuentes, a white supremacist, has denied the Holocaust, said “Talmudic Jews” should convert or be forced to leave the US, and rejected a papal document declaring that modern Jews bear no guilt for the death of Jesus.

The influencers criticized Forgeard and Steinberg for giving Netanyahu a platform in the first place. (Hasan Piker, who goes by the online moniker HasanAbi, said it was like interviewing Adolph Hitler during the Holocaust.)

They also criticized the two for what they considered softball questions.

Forgeard and Steinberg defended themselves, saying they would invite anyone on their podcast no matter how controversial, and soon plan to host a pro-Palestinian guest with diametrically opposite views to those of Netanyahu.

“The Full Send Podcast for me has always been about: If we get the opportunity to have someone extremely controversial on, we’re never going to turn it down,” Forgeard told Fuentes.

“We’re getting a lot of flak. People don’t care what we ask Netanyahu. It’s just the fact that we had him on in general. It’s automatically, ‘F**k you guys.’ Platforming him is the thing that people are pissed about,” Forgeard said.

“We should be allowed to have controversial people on. They should be allowed to say their opinions. Even if this guy is a f**king war criminal. That’s what free speech is,” Forgeard said.

While admitting he didn’t know much about Fuentes’s opinions, Forgeard said he’d love to have him on as a podcast guest as well.

Fuentes said, “The reason people are being critical is because, of course, the State of Israel and Netanyahu are extremely unpopular with young people.”

Forgeard defended his audience, saying that while they were young, they were intelligent, as evidenced by the comments posted about the interview.

Typical of those comments were, “You seemingly tried to humanize a war criminal who is actively committing a genocide on your podcast,” “You guys have the moral compass of a f**king rock,” and “War criminals should never get any stage to whitewash their crimes.”

While noting that there is still broad American support for Israel, Netanyahu said that he was concerned about the younger generation, which is what led him to do the interview. “I’m doing this podcast, among other things, to reach out,” he said.

Netanyahu said Americans are “getting the wrong picture” of Israel, having been fed a steady stream of demonization and lies. He said the best way to fight those lies is with the truth, telling it often and in numerous forums. He described the fight against disinformation as another battlefield.

Pro-Hamas protesters in America are not just anti-Israel but anti-American, he said. “They not only burn the flag of Israel; they burn American flags.”

Asked how an anti-Israel and antisemitic figure such as Zohran Mamdani could become the Democratic candidate for New York mayor when it has the highest population of Jews in America, Netanyahu didn’t have a good explanation.

“Sometimes folly overtakes human affairs for a while, but not for long because reality steps in,” he said.

Netanyahu told the podcasters that close ties between Israel and the US paid big dividends for both as mutual enemies, such as Iran, with its chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” are thrown back on their heels.

“All of a sudden, they’re not so intimidating. All of a sudden, we can defeat them,” the prime minister said.

Explaining why Israel struck Iran, the prime minister said that Israel faced “two lumps of cancer”—Iran’s nuclear weapons program and its ballistic missile program. Israel could have been destroyed by either—a nuclear bomb or thousands of ballistic missiles.

“Why did we have to act? Because if you don’t remove the cancer, you’re going to be dead. Now, if you remove it, as we did, it might come back. That happens in cancer, too, but if you don’t remove it, you’re not going to be there,” he said.

The prime minister said that the Iranian and Jewish people have a long history and that the relationship can be rebuilt if the Islamist regime is removed. “Ultimately, it’s up to the people of Iran to rise up against their tormentors. And I think there is a possibility it will happen, and then we can have peace,” he said.

Netanyahu noted that he and Trump have both been targeted for assassination by the Iranian regime. Trump has been targeted twice, the prime minister said, and his own private residence was hit by a drone that struck through the bedroom window. (On Oct. 19, 2024, a drone launched from Lebanon struck Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea. He was not there at the time.)

Just this month, a new fatwa, or religious decree, by Iranian clerics called for the assassination of Trump and Netanyahu.

He praised Trump as the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House and agreed with the characterization of their close ties as a “bromance.”

THE MEDIA'S ANTI-ISRAEL PROPAGANDA ... FOR DAYS NOW, ALL THE TV NEWSCASTS SHOW STARVING BABIES IN GAZA AND ACCUSE THE IDF OF SHOOTING CIVILIANS WHO ATTEMPTED TO GET AID

Hamas’s strategy pressures Israel, fuels antisemitism and starves Palestinians

The breakdown of the ceasefire-hostage release talks is a direct result of the growing signs of a Gaza famine manufactured by the terrorists, not the Jewish state.

Pictures of starving children are horrifying and motivate decent people to do anything to relieve their suffering. That sentiment is driving the current diplomatic offensive against Israel, in which much of Europe is demanding that the Jewish state end the war against Hamas on virtually any terms.

There is a growing consensus within the mainstream media and the foreign-policy establishment that what is going on in the Gaza Strip has become so grievous that the fighting must end immediately. With even some supporters of Israel saying that after nearly two years of inaccurate if not downright false claims of famine and “genocide” in the coastal enclave, there are now the first credible claims that hunger is spreading, the political and diplomatic situation is beginning to turn even more sharply in favor of Hamas.

Talks derailed by propaganda

Rather than this bringing the war that began with the Hamas-led Palestinian-Arab attacks on southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7, 2023, closer to a conclusion, it has, at least in the short term, made it even less likely. The breakdown of the talks for a ceasefire-hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas that has been pushed by the Trump administration is a direct result of the propaganda victory won by the terrorists. Their strategy to create a famine in spite of the fact that food and other supplies were available to feed the hungry didn’t just create suffering for their own people. It gave them leverage to continue the war they started on the morning of Oct. 7 to not only worsen the plight of Palestinians but also to bludgeon an exhausted and beleaguered Israel into submission.

We don’t know whether that will mean a ceasefire deal that will be skewed even more in Hamas’s favor and essentially allow them to remain in charge of much or all of the Strip. Nor can we be sure if it is a sign that Hamas intends to continue fighting in Gaza indefinitely, confident that the increased casualties and the pain of Palestinians caught in the crossfire of the conflict will only increase sympathy for their jihad to ultimately destroy the one Jewish state on the planet.

But we do know that those who have—either out of malice for Israel or ignorance of facts on the ground—aided Hamas’s efforts to manufacture a famine or have spread misinformation about the crisis to blame the Jewish state for what the terrorists have done are as much to blame for this dismal situation as the terrorists. Those in the United Nations and international community, and those tasked with aiding humanitarian disasters and the so-called human-rights organizations, coupled with media outlets playing along with Hamas’s strategy, aren’t just wrong. They bear a great deal of the responsibility for any starvation in Gaza and the failure of the negotiations.

Hamas digs in

Just days earlier, few doubted that an agreement to end the fighting was within reach and would likely be sealed within the week. But those expectations were derailed by the same factor—agony in Gaza—that had seemed to fuel the urgency to conclude a ceasefire.

What happened was that the food crisis that Hamas manufactured through tactics designed to hijack and/or obstruct the delivery of supplies to those Gazans who needed them succeeded not merely in increasing sympathy for the Palestinian cause and criticism of Israel.

It also gave the terrorists a reason to dig in their heels.

On the brink of what most observers assumed was a successful negotiation, Hamas was encouraged by the way their propaganda victory had caused 25 countries and the European Union to demand an immediate end to the war. France, which has been increasingly hostile to Israel since Oct. 7, then declared its recognition of a Palestinian state, rewarding the terrorists, albeit with a meaningless gesture toward a sovereign nation that doesn’t actually exist.

And with headlines screaming outrage about starvation in Gaza, Hamas has decided there’s no reason to concede anything in the negotiations.

They are clearly determined not merely to hold onto at least some of the hostages who were kidnapped on Oct. 7, but to also insist on paying no price for starting a war by committing unspeakable atrocities against Israel and then waging it by sacrificing Palestinian civilians. If Hamas emerges from any agreement still in control of the Gaza Strip, they not only have reason to declare victory. They will be in a position to rebuild the military forces that Israel shattered in the fighting, as well as the terrorist tunnels that made the fighting so difficult. The end result will be that the independent Palestinian state in all but name that was created by the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 will be reconstituted with Hamas in a position to keep its promise to repeat the horrors of Oct. 7 until Israel no longer exists.

A manufactured famine

It’s important to understand what created the food shortage in Gaza.

Contrary to the misleading stories in the corporate media, it’s not because Israel is preventing food from getting into Gaza or because of a mythical effort to perpetuate a genocide there.

The main cause of the problem is, as Amit Segal reported this week in The Free Press, the price of food rather than its unavailability. As Hebrew University economics professor Yannay Spitzer has documented, the price of flour—“the most essential consumer good”—has undergone an 80-fold increase since the start of the war.

The cause of that out-of-control inflation of prices was not, however, an Israeli effort to prevent flour from entering Gaza. As has been proven by the comments of Gazans and the numerous photos and videos of the availability of foodstuffs in the Strip, the problem has been that Hamas has been stealing the aid that comes into Gaza and then either hoarding it for their own cadres and/or selling it at exorbitant prices to Palestinian civilians.

U.N. agencies that are driven by their support for the Palestinian war on Israel have been claiming that Israel doesn’t let convoys of aid trucks into Gaza. But the plain fact is that, as has repeatedly been the case since conflict began, more than 900 trucks packed with supplies intended for needy Palestinians have already entered Gaza and are in the hands of the United Nations. Yet their contents are not being distributed, something verified by the press. Israel has offered the world body five different routes for the distribution of the food, though none have been accepted or acted upon.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the organization created by the United States and Israel to make up for the failure of U.N. aid agencies to do their job in Gaza, is also seeking to provide more food and to hand it over to the world body’s agents. But again, the U.N. groups are doing nothing while working overtime to spread the blood libel that it is Israel that is causing Gazans to starve.

Hamas is also responsible for the problems that the GHF has encountered and the claims that Israel is slaughtering Palestinians who come to it for aid.

Again, as they have sought to do since the conflict began, Hamas terrorists have done their best to prevent anyone but themselves from being in charge of the distribution of products needed for the population’s survival. Since the GHF began its efforts to get around the logjam created both by Hamas hijackings of convoys and the stalling of U.N. agencies, the terrorists have deliberately created situations in which the crowds attempting to access the aid have either been attacked or seeded with the Islamist group’s operatives. That has resulted in repeated instances in which Israeli troops guarding the distribution efforts have come under threat and responded by firing into the air. Inevitably, that means some casualties to the mobs rushing toward them, which have been augmented by Hamas fire. The numbers of those hurt or killed in these unfortunate incidents are then inflated out of all proportion to reality, as has been true of all casualty numbers produced by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.

This has further damaged Israel’s image abroad, adding more fuel to the fire of a post-Oct. 7 global surge in antisemitism rooted in fraudulent smears about “genocide.” More than that, it has now led to something that up until now was largely untrue: a genuine shortage of food in Gaza.

This shortage is entirely the fault of Hamas.

The terrorist group’s refusal to lay down their arms and give up the hostages has always been the only hindrance to the cessation of hostilities. Yet by pursuing a policy of obstructing the distribution of aid and stealing as much of it as they can, the Islamists have driven food prices inside Gaza up to ruinous levels.

And there is nothing that Israel can do about it except to redouble its efforts to destroy what’s left of Hamas’s forces, and thereby prevent them from continuing to harass and intimidate Palestinians, who don’t wish to be dependent on the gunmen for food. As long as Hamas can continue to sabotage humanitarian efforts and U.N. groups that are implacably hostile to Israel and essentially in the pockets of Hamas—as they were on Oct. 7 and before that—are complicit in this Hamas plan, no humanitarian efforts or Israeli generosity to their foes can entirely prevent hunger from spreading there.

The price of giving in

The question then is whether the international pressure the crisis has generated—combined with the war weariness of Israelis and eagerness of the Trump administration for a deal that it can claim as a diplomatic victory for the president—will be enough to force Israel and the United States to return to the talks, and give Hamas everything it wants.

That might turn down the volume on the propaganda that is branding Israel a pariah state, as well as leading to increased incidents of antisemitism across the globe. It might also lead to the release of some, but almost certainly not all, of the Israeli hostages and some of the corpses of their victims that the terrorists are still holding for ransom.

It would also give the Israel Defense Forces a much-needed respite for an unspecified period. But that period of calm would only last as long as it takes for a rejuvenated and triumphant Hamas to be able—with the international aid that will pour into the Strip—to rebuild its armed forces enough to the point where it will return to a position where it will again be a deadly threat to the Jewish state. No one should doubt that this will happen, regardless of any pledges to the contrary or safeguards built into a ceasefire agreement. Or at least it will unless and until the United States is committed to supporting a resumption of Israel’s war against Hamas as soon as that becomes obvious.

But no one should think a U.S.-Israel surrender to Hamas will end the suffering of Gazans, who will remain in thrall to a terrorist group that will not hesitate to continue sacrificing them in the name of a “resistance” that won’t cease until the Jewish state is destroyed.

What is happening there ought to be listed along with human-made famines plotted by Communist tyrants Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung, which killed many millions of people in the history of self-inflicted catastrophes undertaken for political reasons. Yet this crime committed by Hamas is being blamed on Israel and the Jews because of lies spread by the media and buttressed by antisemitic tropes.

After 22 exhausting months of fighting Hamas, the impulse to give in to this propaganda war is understandable, if regrettable. The dilemma of those in Washington and Jerusalem, who must now consider whether or not they have the moral strength to resist the opprobrium that will be falsely slung at them while Hamas continues to starve its own people, is unenviable. But they should remember that the price of letting the terrorists get away not only with starting a war and committing unspeakable atrocities, but also for manufacturing a famine, will continue to be paid in the blood of countless Jews and Arabs if the terrorists achieve their objective.

Lorain police Officer Phillip Wagner died Thursday from injuries sustained during an ambush shooting on Wednesday, according to Ohio law enforcement.

 

Law enforcement in Ohio identified a slain police officer, and the man accused of killing him, after an ambush shooting that left two more officers injured took place on Wednesday.

Michael Parker, 28, was identified by the Elyria Police Department on Thursday as the man allegedly responsible for the "significant gunfire" officers were met with when responding to a call in Lorain, Ohio, on Wednesday afternoon.

A call went out from an on-duty officer after the radio broadcast picked up gunshots in the area of River Bend Drive. 

As other Lorain officers arrived at the location, Parker "opened fire" on them with a "high-powered rifle," according to Elyria Police Chief James Welsh.

 

.
Michael Parker, 28, (insert) is accused of ambushing police officers in Lorain, Ohio, killing one and injuring two. He was shot and killed by police during the gunfire exchange. 
 

Parker was ultimately killed during an exchange of gunfire that also struck three Lorain officers. One of the officers, later identified as 35-year-old Phillip Wagner by the Lorain County Sheriff's Office, died at the hospital on Thursday.

"Officer Wagner, only 35 years old, gave his life in service to his community, a sacrifice that words can never fully honor. He was not only a dedicated officer, but a husband, father, son, brother, and friend," the LCSO wrote on Facebook. "His impact reached far beyond the badge, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and served alongside him."

The Elyria Police Department, which is leading the investigation into the deadly ambush, shared preliminary information on the case on its Facebook page.

Parker's vehicle, which was parked near the dead end of River Bend Drive, allegedly had "multiple high-powered files, handguns, and a substantial quantity of loaded magazines" inside or near it when it was searched, Elyria police said.

Suspicious baggage was also located and concerns over possible explosive devices were raised, prompting a request for the Lorain County Bomb Squad.

"…bomb technicians discovered a significant quantity of improvised explosive materials within the vehicle. The materials were safely removed and disposed of through a controlled detonation away from the crime scene," Elyria police said.

Wagner, a Marine veteran, served with Lorain police for three years and the Sheffield Village Police Department for four years, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. 

He is survived by his wife and two children. 

SENATOR ALEX PADILLA TRIES ANOTHER SLEAZE MOVE AND GETS CAUGHT

Alex Padilla is the U.S. senator from CA who had an interesting conversation with the carpet after he crashed Kristi Noem's press conference in LA a couple of week ago.  He pulled another one during a senate judiciary committee meeting two days ago.  He asked a panel of witnesses (about nine I think) to all "raise their hands" if they believe that ALL immigrants are criminals.  One of the witnesses responded, "Do you mean illegal immigrants or all immigrants?"  They went back and forth a bit.  Clearly Padilla was trying to get the witnesses to ALL admit that they think ALL immigrants of any sort are criminals.  The witnesses wouldn't bite.  It should have been embarrassing, but it wasn't, because like any good hardcore liberal asswipe he has no sense of shame.  It was amusing to watch.  Painful, but amusing.

Acting on Thursday the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the CA background check to buy ammo requirement.  The check originally cost $1 per transaction and was recently upped to $5 per transaction.  It gave, and maybe still does give, a large amount of false negatives.  If you have not bought a gun AT YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS the system would not allow you to buy ammo.

Good Show for the Ninth Circuit, at least on this particular issue.

AOC HAS BEEN GETTING DEATH THREATS

AOC and fiancé Riley Roberts on high alert and tighten security at NYC home after death threats following Pro-Palestine fake blood attack

Daily Mail

New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has raised over $15 million this year, raising more than any member of Congress 

AOC has been facing death threats and an attack on her Bronx headquarters after she voted against an amendment proposed by MAGA republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene to slash funding to Israel's Iron Dome air defense systems by $500million 

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s fiancé appeared on high alert outside their Queens, New York, home as he was seen with security personnel following the disturbing pro-Palestine vandalism attack on her campaign headquarters.

Riley Roberts, the 35-year-old web developer fiancé of AOC, was seen Tuesday morning guiding security personnel around as they cased out the building for any vulnerable areas, exclusive DailyMail.com photos show. 

The 35-year-old congresswoman has received multiple death threats in recent days according to AOC's campaign manager, and her team have called in security to beef up safety measures, a staffer revealed. 

Roberts was walking the couple's French Bulldog, Deco, while he was engaged in a serious conversation with a black-clad guard near their newly built Queens apartment complex.

The visibly coordinated security check by AOC's red-haired fiancé came just hours after her Bronx campaign headquarters was defaced with red paint in a disturbing act of vandalism by pro-Palestinian activists.  

Roberts, in a baseball cap and dark glasses, was seen talking to the security man and gesturing to the couple's apartment, where they have lived since 2022.

At more than $3,000 a month in rent, their apartment boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms and private balcony that overlooks over a bustling city street.

The political star has been engaged to Roberts since he proposed during a vacation to Puerto Rico in April 2022. The pair met as undergraduate students at Boston University.

While AOC has become one of the most high-profile Democrats in Congress, Roberts has shied away from the limelight. 

There have been few recent public sightings of the couple and no news of their nuptials has emerged since their engagement three years ago.

In 2021, Roberts attended the Met Gala with his fiancée, who wore her infamous 'Tax the Rich' dress.

Yesterday, AOC's hired muscle was seen with two casually dressed colleagues scouting the building and its underground parking garage, before the group snapped the front and side entrances to the building on their mobile phones.

The burly bunch later spent time inside AOC's digs – which are guarded by multiple CCTV cameras – before examining the external keypad residents used to gain access to the building.

The security man also took an intense interest in a DailyMail.com reporter and photographer parked in a legal space on the public street, repeatedly photographing and filming them and their vehicles while walking the area and later cruising past in a blacked-out SUV.

AOC – who has advocated to defund the police - was nowhere to be seen during the private security exercise.

The progressive firebrand spent Sunday in Plattsburgh, the upstate New York district of high-profile Republican rep Elise Stefanik, holding a town hall attacking President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill'.

Back in Queens, the security posse were tight-lipped about their business at AOC's apartment just hours after the outspoken progressive's campaign HQ was daubed in 'fake blood' by protesters. 

A chilling video spread online on Monday showing the congresswoman's Bronx offices splattered with 'fake blood' and a note attached to the front gate reading 'AOC Funds Genocide in Gaza.'

The viral footage of the incident showed NYPD forensic officers investigating the scene and collecting evidence.

An outfit named the Boogie Down Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the attack on her HQ, saying 'the Bronx is sick and tired of people like AOC and Ritchie Torres using us as a stepping stone for their own political careers'.

In a statement, the group went on: 'The Bronx stands with the people of Palestine, and we denounce the hypocrisy of AOC who voted to fund Israel's ongoing genocide and starvation campaign in Gaza. F**K AOC!'

In a post on X on Monday evening, AOC's campaign manager Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben said: 'Last night, our campaign office in the Bronx was vandalized and we are in the process of cleaning it up.

'In the past few days, we also have received multiple threats on the Congresswoman's life, and we are treating this seriously with our security partners to make sure she, our staff and volunteers are safe.'

The disturbing attack came after AOC voted against an amendment proposed by MAGA republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene to slash funding to Israel's Iron Dome air defense systems by $500million.

AOC, a vocal critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, was criticized by some of her fellow progressive for her stance on the defense spending bill. 

But she hit back in a series of social media posts. During the weekend, she posted on X: 'Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza.

A KING ABOVE THE LAW

During a late-night TV appearance Wednesday, Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz made a shocking revelation that probably wasn't too well-received inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The junior senator from Texas told Fox News' Laura Ingraham that former President Barack Obama could most likely not be prosecuted for treason over his handling of the 'Russia hoax.'

The duo discussed the latest intel released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about the 2016 presidential election, and the role that former President Barack Obama and his intelligence agencies played at the time.

DNI Gabbard told members of the media at the White House Wednesday that the information released by her office has been referred to the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the criminal implications. 

DNI Gabbard released a declassified report allegedly implicating Obama and his administration over the 2016 election Russia Hoax. 

This came the day after President Trump accused former President Obama of treason in an Oval Office exchange with the news media.

'He's not going to be prosecuted for treason,' Ingraham stated 'That's not going to happen.'

'He's not going to be prosecuted, in all likelihood, for treason,' Cruz replied agreeing with the host. 

(Cruz cited the fact that the Supreme Court greatly expanded the powers of the presidency in its 2024 decision in Trump v. United States, which, per Justice Sonia Sotomayor, makes the individual holding the highest office a “king above the law.” - - The New Republic)

Obama issued a statement via his spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush earlier this week that refuted many of the accusations circling around him.

'The bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,' Rodenbush noted. 

'These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio' Rodenbush concluded.

Regardless, GOP leadership in both the House and Senate are pursuing investigations into members of the Biden and Obama administrations as they fend off clamoring calls for transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal enveloping the Trump administration. 

Democrats have portrayed the reintroduction of the "Russian hoax' saga as a way for the Trump Administration to distract from the demands around Epstein. 

Cruz is among the Republicans who have long called on the administration to release the Epstein files. 

WISHING REVEILLE A SPEEDY RECOVERY

College football mascot has eye removed in major health blow ahead of new season

One of the most iconic live animal mascots in college football was forced to undergo an emergency surgery to remove its eye in a sad development ahead of the start of a new season.

Texas A&M's live border collie mascot, Reveille X (better known to Aggies fans as 'Miss Rev' or 'The First Lady of Aggieland') had to get her right eye surgically removed.

She had been diagnosed with glaucoma by her veterinarians after experiencing discomfort and cloudiness in her right eye.

In a message on the school's website, president Mark Welsh III said the eye needed to be removed out of an abundance of caution after discovering signs of abnormal tissue.

'I'm grateful to report that Miss Rev has come through the surgery successfully, has been discharged and is resting comfortably,' Welsh said.

Glaucoma does not appear to be typically common among border collies, however, the breed is prone to visual diseases such as Collie Eye Anomaly.

Texas A&M's use of the Reveille mascot dates back to 1931, when the school still had in place a requirement that students join the Corps of Cadets - in line with its status as a senior military college in the United States.

A group of cadets in the 'Fightin' Texas Aggie Band' were coming back from a party when they hit a small stray mutt and then snuck it onto campus. 

The dog barked when buglers in College Station blew for morning reveille, leading cadets to give the dog the 'Reveille' name. Despite pets being banned from the dorms, cadets fell in love with the animal and kept her anyway.

Reveille X took over as the new mascot in 2021. A souped-up golf cart known as 'Rev Force One' helps transport the collie across campus.

Other traditions at Texas A&M include all freshman being required to address her as 'Miss Rev, ma'am'. If she's in a class and she barks, the class is cancelled. The pooch is also the highest-ranking member of the Aggies' Corps of Cadets. 

Welsh said Reveille will take a brief hiatus from engagements as she recovers.

'According to her veterinary team, we can expect Miss Rev to be back to enjoying all her favorite activities -- cruising on Rev Force One, attending classes, cheering on the Aggies and keeping our campus squirrels in line -- this fall,' he said.

LITTLE MACRON IS A BIG WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT

Macron announces France will recognize Palestinian state

The French president announced on his X account that France will recognize a Palestinian state. He said the move stems from "a historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East."

French President Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday on X (formerly Twitter) that France will formally recognize a Palestinian state.
 
"Out of a historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine," he wrote.

In his statement, Macron wrote, "In keeping with a historic commitment to a just and sustainable peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this declaration official in a formal address to the UN General Assembly this coming September."

Macron stressed the urgency of halting the war in Gaza and evacuating civilians. He added, "Peace is possible," and called for "an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and extensive humanitarian aid for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip."

Macron hosts Abbas in Paris. A domestic setback prompted the French president to take action on the international stage. 

According to the French president, "It is essential to ensure the disarmament of Hamas, and to secure and rebuild Gaza." He concluded that the creation of a Palestinian state must follow, one that is viable, recognized by Israel, and disarmed, which "will contribute to the security of everyone in the Middle East."

Macron argued that "there is no alternative." He said the French people want peace in the region: "It is up to us - the French, along with Israelis, Palestinians, and our European and international partners - to show that this is possible. In light of the commitments expressed to me by [Palestinian Authority President] Mahmoud Abbas, I have conveyed to him my determination to advance a political solution."

In April, Macron had already signaled that France might recognize a Palestinian state as early as June, in the framework of an international conference co-hosted with Saudi Arabia in New York. That announcement came shortly after his return from Egypt, where he discussed the ongoing war in Gaza and described the humanitarian situation there as "unbearable."

"We must move toward recognition, and we will do so in the coming months," Macron said in an interview broadcast Thursday on France 5. "Our goal is to hold, around June, a conference on Palestine with Saudi Arabia, where we can complete the process of mutual recognition by many states," he said, summarizing the planned step, which could reshape the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.

Later, Macron reiterated the message, stating, "I've seen numerous distorted interpretations of our policy on Gaza. France's position is clear: Yes to peace, yes to Israel's security, yes to a Palestinian state without Hamas," he wrote in Hebrew on X.

The French president emphasized that this requires the release of all hostages, a sustainable ceasefire, immediate resumption of humanitarian aid, and progress toward a two-state political solution. "There is no other path but a political solution," he said.

ISRAEL: TURNED FROM BEING THE TARGET AND VICTIM OF A GENOCIDAL ATTACK INTO A MURDEROUS CRIMINAL ENTITY THAT DOESN'T DESERVE TO SURVIVE

The worldwide frenzy against Israel

An obsession with the Jewish state has replaced rationality by lethal propaganda.

Over the past few days, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish feeling has been ratcheted up into an absolute frenzy. Every few hours seems to bring a fresh outrage.

In London, a prominent Jewish broadcaster was chased down the street by a man screaming, “fascist Zionist scum.” A woman dining at a Jewish restaurant in the city was asked if she was a Jew and then had food thrown over her.

On the Greek island of Rhodes, a mob armed with knives attacked a group of Jewish teenagers. About 50 French Jewish children, returning from a summer camp in Spain, were thrown off a flight at Valencia airport after the children sang Hebrew songs, and their tour leader was arrested and thrown to the ground.

The BBC’s obsession with demonizing and delegitimizing Israel has reached pathological proportions. This week, it gave pride of place on its flagship radio show Today to ever-more twisted accusations and blood libels casting Israel as an evil and murderous state, including the claim by a British surgeon working in Gaza that the Israel Defense Forces were playing a game in shooting Gazan boys in the food queues by targeting a different part of their body every day.

The broadcasting behemoth could scarcely contain its excitement as reporters and interviewees joined in chorusing that “a reckoning was coming” with the imminent end of the war in Gaza, after which Israel’s “war crimes” would be revealed, and the case for declaring a Palestine state was therefore now overwhelming.

This propaganda onslaught consists of three major libels: that the IDF is deliberately killing Gazans queueing for food, that Israel is starving Gazans to death, and that “settler violence” against Arabs is increasing in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria.

All three claims seek to turn Israel from being the target and victim of genocidal attack into a murderous criminal entity that doesn’t deserve to survive. It’s a propaganda onslaught mounted by Hamas acting in concert with its allies in the United Nations and the entire global humanitarian establishment, pumped out through a media megaphone and parroted by politicians who are either malevolent or clueless.

A moment’s thought suggests that to accuse the IDF of deliberately killing Gazans queuing for food is absurd. Since the Israelis helped set up and are policing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in order to deliver food safely to these civilians, why should the IDF want to kill them?

Where they have killed some Gazans near the aid points, this has clearly been an unintended result of the soldiers firing into the air to warn off these possibly Hamas-infiltrated crowds if they look like they’re about to rush the Israeli troops.

It is Hamas that has been deliberately killing hundreds of Gazans to prevent them from gaining food from the American-Israeli-run aid points, because it’s been through stealing this aid for its own use that Hamas has remained in power.

In order to survive, it needs to have the aid distributed instead by its U.N. ally. That’s why, as part of ceasefire negotiations, Hamas is insisting that aid must be distributed by the world body and the Palestine Red Crescent Society.

This week, the media published distressing pictures of skeletal children as evidence of starvation in Gaza. But the adults in these pictures were all conspicuously well-fed. Is it likely that it’s only Gaza’s children who are being starved while the adults are not?

The Israelis say that these pictures, which have been regularly trotted out over the years with the false claim that they represent Israeli brutality, are actually of children suffering from wasting diseases or inherited medical conditions.

There may be increasing hunger in Gaza, but to blame Israel for this is grotesque. The World Health Organization’s director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has accused the Israelis of an aid blockade. This is totally untrue.

The IDF’s aid division, COGAT, says that recently, nearly 4,500 trucks entered the Strip with supplies, including flour for bakeries, and 2,500 tons of baby food and high-calorie special food for children.

The key point, however, is that 950 trucks have been stuck inside Gaza because the United Nations and its agencies are refusing to distribute the food and other aid they are carrying. The GHF has implored the global agency to help distribute these supplies around the Strip, but the United Nations has refused.

That’s because it’s working hand-in-glove with Hamas, which is determined to cause deaths from starvation as a weapon of war, just as it’s used Gaza’s civilians as human shields and cannon fodder.

This hideous strategy rests on the infernal calculation that the more Gazans who die, the more the West will blame Israel. So the West’s baseless virtue-signaling against Israeli “starvation” will, in fact, become the Gazans’ death warrant.

Now, the Israel delegitimization machine has created another potent weapon in its arsenal: “settler violence.” This demonizes Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria with the charge that they attack and terrorize their Arab neighbors.

As ever, the opposite is mostly the case. True, a minority of “hilltop” Jewish youth have acted in revenge and committed unprovoked attacks against local Arabs—and they should be dealt with. But the vast majority of the violence in these territories is by local Arabs against Jewish residents, who suffer from such murderous attacks almost every day.

According to a report by the NGO Regavim, 90% of incidents that the United Nations has classified as “settler violence” were nothing of the kind. These cases included clashes between Arabs and the IDF; where Jews acted in self-defense against Arab attacks; or even peaceful activities by these Jews such as supervised visits to Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and to historic sites by hikers and tourists.

This week, it was revealed that the claim that “settlers” had torched the Byzantine church of St. George in Taybeh, near Ramallah, was a lie. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who had toured the church and said “desecrating a church, mosque or synagogue is a crime against humanity and God,” walked that back and acknowledged that the church was undamaged—as was always entirely obvious from its intact stone walls. Yet this false claim, made by priests and activists, had ricocheted around the world.

Instead of setting the record straight to help Israel defeat these Islamist enemies of humanity and to protect Diaspora Jews from the hatred incited by this media onslaught, political leaders in Britain and Europe have been pouring more fuel onto the flames.

statement by Britain’s foreign secretary, David Lammy, and the foreign ministers of 27 other countries accused Israel of “the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food,” denying “essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population” and soaring rates of “settler violence.”

How can we explain this astounding descent from rationality into the sewers of lethal propaganda? How can it be that in Britain, factual evidence about the Gaza war is met with incredulity, “Zionist” has become a term of abuse, and antisemitism is now regarded as little more than a device for Jews to sanitize the “crimes” of Israel?

There are many reasons, including ideology, ignorance and wishful thinking. There is also the widespread belief that the U.N. and the humanitarian-rights establishment, which have the status of a secular religion, act with perfect integrity and are incapable of lying or doing evil.

But there are far darker impulses at work—the deep desire to prove that the Jews are bad, that they have a unique and destructive power over world events, that they can never be victims.

That’s why the acute threats to the world posed by Russia, China or Iran, the terrible atrocities against the Druze in Syria or the Christians in Africa, the famine and starvation in Sudan—all are dwarfed in the West by its overwhelming, unhinged, vicious obsession with tiny Israel, the focus of a civilizational disorder that is dragging down not the Jewish state but the West itself.
