This headline is a good example of how something can be technically true but substantively false. They found one video of a few pro-AfD Jews, and made it sound like most German Jews are pro-AfD, when the major bodies of the German Jewish community overwhelmingly oppose the AfD.

Final thoughts on the Tim Pool/Benny Johnson: Even if you take their argument at face value — that they didn't know they were pawns of foreign influence — it's EXACTLY what years of disinfo reporting was trying to say: foreign influence campaigns are real, complex, happening.

Instead of listening to the threat of foreign influence, they made entire careers out of denying it, calling it the "censorship industrial complex," saying I was evil and should be thrown in jail for reporting about the very thing that duped them. Tim posted stuff like this.

If Jill Biden was no longer even maintaining the illusion that she lived with her husband, that would be a major story. Same with Doug Emhoff ghosting on Kamala Harris. The media has apparently just given a pass on the Melania issue.

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims. If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline. If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state. Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

Let's be clear on what's happening here: A masked person yells at a Jewish CNN journalist that she is taking "millions" from AIPAC, using the money to buy her house(!). This is antisemitic mad-libs, using Israel as a flimsy pretext to try and hound Jews out of the public square.

Grateful the government is finally cracking down on Russian influence operations in America but I think more people should be paying attention to the use of Israel by the Russians to middle our discourse.

US Senator, Rand Paul not only had his campaign manager go to prison for taking Russian money but now one of his advisors is indicted as a Russian spy. Yet, Rand Paul is STILL a US Senator. And STILL voting exactly as he's instructed by his Russian handlers.

To put it another way, mass deportation not only accelerates the bankruptcy of Social Security it creates a situation where you *need* to force more seniors back into the workforce.

These protesters target Dana at her home and this event because she’s Jewish. There is nothing about her coverage of the Israel-Hamas war that is different from most other news coverage, covering both Jewish/Israeli and Palestinian pain. This harassment is antisemitism.

"Hamas said, take us in your car to wherever we can find Jews. I was prepared to die rather than point them to a Jew." This testimony has to be given to all those who attempted to defend Hamas by claiming that they were going after military targets or that they did not plan to

There is a dispute on the right over whether it is appropriate for one of the movement's preeminent voices to promote Holocaust denial and Nazi apologia, and the GOP VP candidate is chiming in to say "yes." x.com/metzgov/status…

Is Donald Trump an antisemite? Well, what do you call it when someone whips up hate against Jews, who won’t vote for him? forward.com/opinion/651246…

A jury found Trump guilty of sexually assaulting a woman. Trump's message here is she wasn't worth sexually assaulting. Any journalists want to follow up and ask him what women he thinks are worth sexually assaulting?

"We agree with you about the Jews, but we don't like how you treat us." Let me gently suggest that they are full of shit about the Jews too.
