Ok, Democrats: It's been a couple of days since 2 Congresswomen shared a cartoon by a notorious anti-Semite. Will a single one of you stand up for your Jewish constituents and the non-Jewish ones who abhor hate? Or is the new standard if Trump attacks you you're beyond reproach?
A U.S. elected official sharing the work of Mondoweiss. You just hate to see it. Will any Democrats call this out or nah?
Man, people out here saying this particular cartoon isn't anti-Semitic (it is) -- so you would have shared it yourself? Of course you wouldn't. You didn't. So elected officials now are held to a lower standard? GTFO with that. They have Jewish constituents!
The blatant disregard for the well-being of American Jews, and the defense of that disregard as a moral virtue, is not something I thought I would see in my lifetime. It's really hard to accept that it's happening.

If you'd told me 5 years ago I would endorse Trump for president, I wouldn't have believed you. When I think back, a big red pill for me was seeing the graph of American wage earners next to the graph of immigration. It's basic supply and demand yet the Democrats made it a taboo:
Just look at this for a minute. Consider what it means for your fellow Americans without a credential:
A steady supply of low-wage labor puts power in the hands of employers—and money in the pockets of the ownership class, taken straight from the pockets of the Americans they would have had to pay much more. My @compactmag_ column:
Hitler denaturalized and then mass murdered Jewish citizens. Trump is proposing to deport non Americans who entered the country illegally. If you think these are the same thing, you agree with Hitler much more than Trump does.
You have to truly hate your fellow Americans to proudly insist that seeking to prioritize us over the rest of the world is the equivalent of mass murder. Yet this is the narrative from every liberal mainstream media outlet and the Democratic politicians they exist to promote.
Since Donald Trump showed up on the scene and adopted the Democrats' erstwhile position that we should have much fewer immigrants to protect American wages, they have used the smear of racism against anyone who believes in the distinction between citizen and non-citizen.
Michelle Obama perfectly delivers the Democrats' pitch to the working-class men of all races they sold out, who are now struggling economically, psychologically, and spiritually: "Your only job is to celebrate your own demise, to submit to and elevate the interests of women."
It's amazing that this clip is being shared as evidence of good politicking. You couldn't ask for a better clip to explain why Trump is dominating with men: Men are being told to subordinate their pressing concerns with made up ones that help rich women LARP as "the oppressed"
"Maybe men don't like us because we shipped their jobs overseas, defunded vocational training, imported a slave caste to work construction, and created an economy that's an upward funnel of wealth to people who love obeying authority figures and sitting quietly for long hours..."
"Nah, let's go with calling them toxic sexist racists."
"Vote Trump and you will see a mass exodus of manufacturing from China to Pennsylvania, from South Korea to North Carolina, and from Germany to Georgia." President @realDonaldTrump lays out his economic plan in an exclusive OpEd for @Newsweek: newsweek.com/donald-trump-m…
"My industrial policy is one piece of an economic vision for revitalizing this country for the hardest working Americans. It will join my tax cuts and my proposal to ban all taxes on overtime hours, tips for service workers, and Social Security benefits for our great seniors."
"The centerpiece of my plan for a manufacturing renaissance will be a 15% Made in America Corporate Tax Rate, cutting the business tax from 21% to 15%—but only for those who make their product in America," writes @realDonaldTrump:
If Harris were being honest, her campaign slogan wouldn’t be “Kamala Harris—for the people.” It would be, “Let them eat the joy of the rich and powerful.” That’s all that’s on offer. My write up of the DNC for @AmerCompass:
Who is Kamala Harris? What does she plan to do as president? There was gaslighting aplenty as we were reintroduced to a woman we all know, as if she were a blank slate available for projection. Michelle Obama' speech was especially notable on this front:
To the extent that a pitch was made to the American people about what a Harris/Walz administration would look like, it was that it would be filled with the joy of the rich and the famous, of Kerry Washington and Hillary Clinton, JB Pritzker and Michelle Obama, Oprah and Pink.
It's nice to see bipartisan support for Jews but this congressional bill to expand the definition of antisemitism is bad for the U.S. and bad for Jews. This country was literally founded on the idea that there should be no government reprisals for speech, including hate speech.
Add to that the fact that the IHRA definition of antisemitism is awful—vague, overly broad, and reliant on examples. It's useless. Universities already have laws protecting Jewish students from discrimination. They didn't enforce them, and they are going to pay for that in court.
We don't protect American Jews from hate by turning on the values this great nation was founded on. We do so by embracing a country that has always protected us, by embracing what makes this country unique, a big part of which is the First Amendment!
