“The top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) [says] another DHS shutdown is ‘absolutely’ on the table for Dems later this year”
Bill Melugin@BillMelugin_
NEW: Acting Deputy TSA Administrator Adam Stahl tells me the 76 day DHS shutdown resulted in 1,300+ TSA employees leaving the agency, adding that it takes 4-6 months to train new hires, and that it has "hamstrung our preparations" for the FIFA World Cup this summer. DHS says they expect an influx of 5-7 million travelers to the US for the World Cup, which they say is the equivalent of hosting 78 Super Bowls spread throughout 11 American cities. Those travelers will be screened by CBP (which is still unfunded after being cut out of the DHS funding bill. They are currently being paid via OBBB funds). Stahl says new hires are expressing concern about government shutdowns, the shutdown delayed and the reason most TSA officers quit was because of the lack of job security. "Not knowing when the next paycheck was going t come to pay for their child's child care, to put food on the table," Stahl said. "So the lack of job security continues to be an issue for our TSA personnel, particularly when we've experienced our third shutdown now within this fiscal year." On the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) saying another DHS shutdown is "absolutely" on the table for Dems later this year? "We are worried," Stahl said. "Bennie Thompson, loudly and proudly saying they may shut DHS down again this October, so we are purely in the crosshairs."

Before Nick rose to fame, the left used Richard Spencer as a right wing boogeyman to attack Republicans with. In a stunning coincidence, when that angle of attack stopped working, Richard backed Kamala for President. Now Nick is following the same playbook. I spy a pattern… 🤔
It’s quite a coincidence that both of these guys gave media the most offensive quotes they could dream up, which the media then wrapped around the necks of Republicans at every turn, only for both of them to support Democrats once they were no longer useful for this purpose. Strange isn’t it?
If I didn’t know any better I’d almost think it was by design that they ended up in this role.
For any young man who reflectively wants to defend Nick, what has he done for you? How has he used his influence to benefit your life? Because I know what I’ve done. I got the crazy trainings out of millions of workplaces. I ended DEI programs and bonuses that discriminated against you. I’m suing one of the largest companies on earth so AI can’t lie about you the way it lied about me. I stopped your woke HR lady from shoving pride down your throat. I get laws passed to make states safer and saner. And I fund pro-Christian + right wing activism.
There’s much more but my point is, some of us are actually doing things to materially benefit your life. People like Nick are concerned with benefiting themselves, and they use rhetoric to relate to you so you feel like they’re on your side… but seriously, what has he done for you aside from entertaining you with some of his antics? Nothing. The man can’t lead a family, doesn’t have kids, doesn’t even seem to want a wife (sus) and he’s done nothing for the vast majority of you.
Find a better man to look up to and follow.

Nick Fuentes confirms he is a now a moderate Democrat, calls for President Trump to be impeached, and wants the GOP to be destroyed. Fuentes has been attacking Trump since 2016 and has admitted he never cared about immigration, and his sole litmus test is hatred of Israel.

The pre-school at Park East Synagogue was forced to close early because it could not ensure safe dismissal.
When children can’t safely leave school, something is deeply wrong.
This is unacceptable.

Anti-Zionist group PAL-Awda plans to protest the "Great Israel Real Estate Event" tonight at Park East Synagogue. Comes after council passed a bill further regulating protests outside houses of worship (but with a 90-day delay, so bill's not in effect yet) timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

You ain't seen nothin' yet on the Ohio home health fiasco. Part 2 drops now!
One landlord alone owns 7 buildings in Columbus containing 288 Medicaid firms that billed a quarter billion dollars.
And boy, do the characters who are (supposed to be) inside have stories.

The most interesting detail here about the internal Dem panic is that Spanberger’s team reportedly warned the gerrymandering power grab scheme was being rushed through illegally, but she was bullied into going along with it anyway. Cc: ScoVA

Ken Griffin at Milken:
“What the mayor of New York has made clear to my partners, and principally my New York partners, is that we need to double down on our bet in Miami"
Wall Street Rollup@WallStRollup
Ken Griffin has spoken out after the callout from Zohran: The fallout? He's doubling down on Miami. At Milken, the Hedge Fund CEO stated the following: "We went to Miami and revised our building plan to make it a bigger office building" “What the mayor of New York has made clear to my partners, and principally my New York partners, is that we need to double down on our bet in Miami" “Looking at what Mamdani did to me and more broadly is doing to the city of New York is triggering the trauma I went through in Chicago”

Mayor Mamdani's plan to open a city-run grocery store is facing pushback from East Harlem grocers, who say the area is already saturated.
About 45 grocery stores are within a 35-minute walk of the proposed site.

Having plotted many graphs on "war" and "genocide" in my two books on violence, I closely tracked the definitions, and it's utterly clear that the war in Gaza is a war (e.g., the Uppsala Conflict Program, the gold standard, classifies the Gaza conflict as an "internal armed conflict," i.e., war, not "one-sided violence," i.e., genocide). This paper reviews The Genocide Libel: the long history of antisemitic false genocide accusations. isca.indiana.edu/publication-re…

I would never define myself as a "genocide scholar," but I have taught university-level classes on the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and the Rwandan genocide, and have published professionally on the topic
And I can say that Elliot is 100 percent correct
The elements of the crime of genocide are not remotely there with Gaza
The genocide accusation against Israel isn't a thoughtful scholarly assessment
It's propaganda meant to legitimize violence against Jews
That's why the accusation existed in antizionist circles well before October 7
𝔼𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕠𝕥 𝕄𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕟@ElliotMalin
Alright, but it *isn't* genocide because the elements of the crime are clearly missing. This is a blood libel that has caused Jews to be murdered. It must stop. Not a single accusation has been able to establish that intent is present to the standard required. Not a single one has used the appropriate legal analysis to make the legal conclusion that they do. Each accusation has systematically ignored the conduct of Hamas in relation to informing us about Israeli conduct and what is permissible. This violates the key provisions of the jurisprudence because it ignores the test that must be taken, known as the only reasonable inference test. Here, from Bosnia v. Serbia (2007), para. 373: “The dolus specialis, the specific intent to destroy the group in whole or in part, has to be convincingly shown by reference to particular circumstances, unless a general plan to that end can be convincingly demonstrated to exist; and for a pattern of conduct to be accepted as evidence of its existence, it would have to be that it could only point to the existence of such intent.” When each accusation ignores the conduct of Hamas, it fails to assess the reasonable alternative explanations. If there exists reasonable alternative explanations, such as human shielding (see: GCIV 28 & API 51(7)), weaponization of healthcare infrastructure (see: GCIV 19), diversion of aid (see: GCIV 23), it cannot possibly be genocide. We do know, with plenty of evidence, that each of these is relevant to the analysis because we know that Hamas has utilized human shielding (they admit to it and have done this for decades), have weaponized hospitals (Mohammad Sinwar was killed under the European hospital and we hear from Gazans about the presence of armed militants), and have diverted aid (Al Jazeera confirmed this just yesterday), then it cannot possibly be found that dolus specialis is present. If dolus specialis is not present, it cannot be genocide. Moreover, substantiality is very clearly missing. From, Krstić: "It is well established that where a conviction for genocide relies on the intent to destroy a protected group “in part,” the part must be a substantial part of that group. The aim of the Genocide Convention is to prevent the intentional destruction of entire human groups, and the part targeted must be significant enough to have an impact on the group as a whole. Although the Appeals Chamber has not yet addressed this issue, two Trial Chambers of this Tribunal have examined it. In Jelisić, the first case to confront the question, the Trial Chamber noted that, “[g]iven the goal of the [Genocide] Convention to deal with mass crimes, it is widely acknowledged that the intention to destroy must target at least a substantial part of the group.” The same conclusion was reached by the Sikirica Trial Chamber: “This part of the definition calls for evidence of an intention to destroy a substantial number relative to the total population of the group.” As these Trial Chambers explained, the substantiality requirement both captures genocide’s defining character as a crime of massive proportions and reflects the Convention’s concern with the impact the destruction of the targeted part will have on the overall survival of the group." In Sikirica the chamber stipulated that about 3% is not substantial enough to constitute genocide. In Gaza the death toll, including combatants and not accounting for live births (which outnumber measured death) is about 3.25%. If we want to discuss live births, we would see population increase over the course of the war. Per Save the Children, the UN, and Palestinian Ministry of Health officials the births throughout the war ranged from about 4,000 - 5,500 per month. 4,000(30)=120,000 5,500(30)=165,000 120,000-72,500=+47,500 165,000-72,500=+92,500 So, we can demonstrate that the population has not decreased as measured in death vs. birth, but the opposite. It is very clearly not genocide if you actually understand what genocide is and how it works. This is very clearly a blood libel that has caused the very harm you are saying you are speaking against, @shannonrwatts. I think your heart is in the right place, Shannon. But I also think that you are helping cause the very problem you are speaking against here by helping perpetuate the blood libel that is very clearly erroneous and has caused real and demonstrable harm against Jews. You cannot be an ally and spread the blood libel. And you must stop pushing it.
