Here's today's roundup. | House Republican Says It’s Time to Nuke Gaza |
Plenty of ideas are out there about how the United States should handle the war in the Middle East.
Maybe Washington should continue funding the Israeli military, using your tax dollars to support a foreign agenda that has nothing to do with U.S. interests. On the other hand, lawmakers could pull back, end the welfare, and shift America’s focus from that side of the Atlantic to ours. Or perhaps, according to GOP Congressman Randy Fine, we should just drop a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip.
“In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we didn’t negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender,” Fine boasted during a Thursday interview. “That needs to be the same here.”
Pause and take a step back. Conservative estimates indicate the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings killed roughly 200,000 people. Nuking Gaza would make that number look paltry, yet Fine would have you believe it’s the moral thing to do. We hope he gets the help he needs.

Ilhan Omar Refuses to Condemn Murder |
If the last story put you under the impression that Republicans have a monopoly on cheering violent death, think again.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar refused to condemn this week’s murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers on Thursday, passing up an opportunity to do the most obvious thing ever and express sadness over the couple prematurely losing their lives.
“I’m gonna go for now,” she told a reporter seeking her reaction to the shooting. She then did just that, scurrying away to avoid the apparently difficult task of disavowing the killing of innocents.
Omar went into damage control hours later, covering her tracks by tweeting a vanilla message saying she was “appalled by the deadly shooting” and “holding the victims, their families, and loved ones in my thoughts and prayers.” Expressing that sentiment shouldn’t have been hard the first time.

Blue-Haired Woman Arrested for Attacking Elderly Trump Supporter |
Florida police arrested 33-year-old Laura Garrett on Tuesday after she allegedly attacked a senior citizen wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
Garrett reportedly approached the man to interrogate him about his political views, then dumped a can of liquid on him and whacked him in the back of the head upon deciding she disagreed with his opinions. Police say she then jumped a fence and fled the scene. The incident occurred in a public park.
The action continued during Garrett’s subsequent arrest when she allegedly tackled a law enforcement officer, causing a knee injury and prompting a second battery charge. She spent one single night in jail.

Harvard Can No Longer Enroll Foreigners |
The Trump administration revoked Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification on Thursday, eliminating the university’s ability to enroll international students.
The Department of Homeland Security justified the move by accusing Harvard of fostering violence, promoting anti-semitism, allowing protestors to harass and assault members of the public, and “training members of a Chinese Communist Party paramilitary group complicit in the Uyghur genocide.”
“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments,” Kristi Noem said in a statement. “Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”
The government also revoked $2.7 million of Harvard’s DHS grants last month.

Here’s Why Two Republicans Voted Against the “Big, Beautiful Bill” |
Representatives Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson drew the White House’s ire on Thursday by being the only House Republicans to vote against Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
Why did they do it? Fiscal conservatism.
“I’d love to stand here and tell the American people, we can cut your taxes and we can increase spending, and everything is going to be just fine, but I can’t do that,” Massie said of his decision. “This bill dramatically increases deficits in the near term, but promises our government will be fiscally responsible five years from now. Where have we heard that before? How do you bind a future Congress to these promises? This bill is a debt bomb ticking.”
Davidson expressed similar concerns, writing on X that “promising someone else will cut spending in the future does not cut spending. Deficits do matter and this bill grows them now. The only Congress we can control is the one we’re in. Consequently, I cannot support this big deficit plan. NO.”
The bill now advances to the Senate. If approved, it will head to the president’s desk. Read more.

“They Abused Us”: White House Reporter Details the Biden Administration’s Brutality |
Reporting in the Biden White House sounded pretty awful.
Everyone in the building knew that the president was brain-dead, but anyone who dared to acknowledge it would be ostracized for telling the truth. It sounds totalitarian if you think about it. Everyone had to disavow reality to protect the dear leader.
Journalist Jacqui Heinrich, who covered the previous administration as Fox News’ senior White House correspondent, exposed its toxicity on Thursday by detailing how Biden’s press office “abused” reporters who wouldn’t spread its propaganda.
“The White House was very effective in maligning anyone who was skeptical about the president’s age and abilities as a bad actor, as someone who is not a good journalist,” she said. “They abused us, too. I had people in the press office tell me I was not a good reporter because I was asking questions about these things with sourcing. It was the snap reaction a lot of the time rather than actually going to the people who I got the information from and having them confirm it. They would just like to shut down that discussion.”
Recall that as this happened, BidenWorld repeatedly lectured the American people about the profound importance of truth, democracy, and treating the press with dignity. Read more.

NO WATER BREAKS: News Anchor Completes Broadcast While in Labor |
Albany morning news anchor Olivia Jaquith completed her Wednesday broadcast while actively in labor, displaying her steadfast commitment to keeping her viewers informed no matter what.
|
The show began at 6 am, roughly 75 minutes after the reporter’s water broke. Co-host Julia Dunn began the program by alerting the audience to the situation, which Jaquith brushed off as no big deal because she was only in “early labor.” Dunn wisely emphasized that neither she nor anyone at their studio forced the mother-to-be to remain at work against her will.
We can’t help but be impressed by Jaquith’s performance. In an era when millions of white-collar employees do their jobs on the couches and in their underwear, she is proof that legitimate hard workers are not extinct yet. We tip our caps and wish her well in motherhood.

Speak Slowly. It May Help Us Understand. |
We’ll remember this week for its constant flow of shocking, unnerving, and somewhat infuriating Biden decline and cover-up stories. They just kept coming.
But there was plenty of other news, too. Today feels like a good opportunity to revisit one of those headlines.
Monday’s Morning Note reported on Mike Pence blasting Donald Trump for daring to tell the truth about foreign policy. The former vice president called his old friend’s accurate description of America’s terror war as a failed and interventionist nation-building effort a “disservice to generations” of veterans, sneakily implying that his rhetoric plays into terrorists’ hands. You can watch the remarks for yourself here.
One thing Pence interestingly did not do was bother to rebut the president’s argument. He undoubtedly gets an A in the personal attack department, but on the substance? Incomplete.
The reason for this is simple. Pence and his fellow neocons know they’re on the losing side of the endless war debate, so they slander the people with opposing views to avoid addressing the merits of their arguments.
We see this all the time. Oppose dumping fortunes of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine? You must be a Russian agent. Dare to critique the Israeli government? Pro-Hamas! Think it’s possible that the Wuhan coronavirus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Ok. Got it. You’re clearly an anti-Asian bigot. Enroll in an anti-racism seminar series, now.
Calling people with those views names may make their detractors feel good about themselves, but it does nothing to actually win the arguments. That would require producing answers to questions they’d much rather ignore.
For example, why, Mike Pence, is the president wrong for admonishing the terror war as a failure? Did it not waste trillions of dollars, further destabilize the Middle East, get hundreds of thousands of people killed, and do absolutely nothing to advance America’s interests? Or is he missing some key detail that only big-brain “experts” like you and Douglas Murray understand?
Please deliver your answers slowly so mouth breathers like us can understand. We’ll be on the edges of our seats.
