Congressman Jamie Raskin has been ordered to repay the federal government $304,000 he took from the illegal student loan debt relief program for his daughter's tuition to Stanford. "Mr. Raskin knew the program would be shot down," wrote 14th District Judge Joseph A Barron, "so he pushed his application through using his position." Raskin's defense was that the program was perfectly legal when he took the money. "That defense is summarily rejected." The judge also noted that the Raskins are worth more than $14 million and shouldn't have qualified in the first place. "There's grounds for a criminal case here if ever this court saw one."

The thing about DeSantis is that he does things the right always wanted but never could either figure out how to do or simply get done. And he does it without any histrionics and silliness. It’s just firm confidence. There’s a larger political lesson here.

“This is police brutality” “Why are they being so rough?” “Totally overkill.” This man is a TERRORIST. A literal terrorist who was trying to stab up a street full of people in broad daylight. Get a grip.

🚨 Thanks to President Trump, jobless claims come in MUCH lower than expected. CNBC: “189K! That is truly incredible! We’re looking at levels…that we probably haven’t seen since the late 60s.”

Unarmed London police officers run around with tasers trying to get the perfect angle to use them on an Islamist running around stabbing Jews with a knife. England shamefully disarmed its citizen and its police.

It's very disturbing to me that Britain is full of islamists who at the smallest hint of a riot will form militias and march through the streets. It's honestly depressing and terrifying.

Two weeks ago, an IDF soldier desecrated a statue of Jesus. Within 48 hours, the political establishment of Israel condemned it, and jailed the soldier. There were hundreds of thousands of posts. Today, 29 Christians were massacred by Islamists in Nigeria. Not a word. Weird.

So Justice Kagan is reported in Molly Hemingway's new book on Justice Alito as having urged liberal members of the Court to slow-walk their dissents in the Dobbs case for months after Justice Alito had finished his majority decision, presumably with the "hope" that the composition of the Court would change and the 5-4 outcome striking down Roe would turn into a 4-4 deadlock that left the lower court's decision in place - affirming Roe. NOW, it is clear that it was Justice Kagan -- and not Justices Jackson and Sotomayor -- who has held up her dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, as she has written the only dissent -- with the whispered-about motivation being to push the decision back far enough into the calendar back such that some states don't have time to engage in redistricting before the Nov. elections -- redistricting that might eliminate minority-majority districts and cost Democrats seats. If both these two anecdotal accounts about Kagan gain traction, it will forever stain her legacy on SCOTUS.

It's one thing if they abuse their own bodies, but what they're doing to dogs should see all of them go to prison. pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/…

The verb is “gave.” I hate seeing the noun “gift” turned into a verb when we already have a perfectly fine verb.

Democrats “increase the temperature” until something excessively violent happens and then insist that Republicans “lower the temperature” by giving Democrats everything they want…lest more violence happens. It's a political extortion racket.

IDF released footage of two Hezbollah tunnels built over approximately a decade, showing underground shelter cities before the operation to destroy them.

WILD FOOTAGE 🔴 Full footage from inside a giant Hezbollah tunnel in Kantara, southern Lebanon. 25 meters underground, 10 km from the Israeli border. Tour led by a commander from the IDF's Yahalom engineering unit.

An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as "ethnonationalist". It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian "attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions" as "ethnonationalist." This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as "data" and then mainstreamed in the American press. More in my column below linked.
