Republican Sen. Rick Scott flew a banner over New York City beaches urging anti-socialist New Yorkers to move to Florida if Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race.
The aerial ad was spotted flying above Coney Island, Rockaway Beach, and Jones Beach on Saturday.

Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), recently won the Democratic primary, positioning himself as a strong contender for the mayor’s office. His platform includes progressive policies such as rent control, increased public housing, and government-run grocery stores.
“New York City once represented the American Dream – a city where anything was possible. Today, it has now become the city where only billionaires can prosper, Jewish students are attacked on campus, capitalism is shunned and radical socialists like Zohran Mamdani are celebrated,” Scott said in a statement to the New York Post. “New York City has benefitted from the best system in the world – Capitalism – yet it is now being villainized by the Democrats all across this country.”
“Democrats are working around the clock to discredit President Trump and tear down our country and rebuild it in their woke, radical image through socialist policies.”
Scott also explained that socialism is “an old, barbaric, discredited idea that’s failed every time it’s been tried.”
“As Governor and now US Senator, I have constantly worked to make sure every family can get a great job, their kids can get a world class education and they can live in safe communities,” Scott said. “That is the American Dream and it is deeply unfortunate that it is completely slipping away in New York.”
The senator concluded by saying, “New York families deserve better.”
Florida has experienced a significant influx of new residents fleeing from liberal states, such as New York, in recent years.

It probably comes as no surprise to conservatives, but liberals protesting in favor, need to be reminded that the damage jihadist extremists do to education can return a country to the Stone Age. This astounding devolution of human development can be attributed to a number of extremist policies.
Under jihadist regimes, women’s access to education is eliminated or heavily restricted. In Afghanistan, the Taliban banned girls from secondary school and university, and barred female teachers from working. In Syria and Iraq, ISIS limited women’s education to religious instruction and domestic tasks. These policies halve the skilled labor force and erase potential contributions from female scientists, engineers, and doctors.
Jihadist groups often treat subjects like physics, chemistry, biology, and evolution as heretical. Secular education is purged and replaced with religious indoctrination, often in madrassa-style schools. In ISIS-controlled areas, public education was replaced with a Shariah curriculum that banned history, art, and science entirely.
ISIS destroyed institutions like the University of Mosul, looting or burning science departments. Taliban raids on schools and universities have also led to the destruction of labs and the banning of textbooks deemed “un-Islamic.”
In Somalia, Al-Shabaab banned or strictly monitored internet cafes. Online access is restricted to prevent exposure to “infidel” knowledge, cutting entire populations off from global research, education, and collaboration.
Photography, television, scientific illustrations (like anatomical diagrams), and music are often banned. This makes it nearly impossible to teach biology or medicine, and suppresses artistic and visual expression, key components of innovation and design.
Groups like ISIS and AQAP have destroyed museums, ancient artifacts, and research libraries. This cultural erasure severs historical continuity and wipes out critical educational resources for future generations.
Rote memorization of religious texts is prioritized over analytical or creative thinking. Academic debate and critical inquiry are treated as dangerous or heretical. In Yemen, formerly secular universities are now ideologically policed and heavily censored.
Educated professionals flee jihadist-controlled areas. Those who remain face persecution, threats, or must abandon their fields. During ISIS rule in Raqqa, many doctors and engineers were executed or fled, leaving a vacuum of expertise.
In Somalia and Yemen, jihadist groups impose religion-only curricula. Subjects like psychology, philosophy, and modern literature are labeled “Western corruptions” and banned entirely.
The impact of extremist rule on technological progress is clear. Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, Afghanistan’s technological and educational indicators have collapsed. University enrollment has dropped 53%, with over 100,000 women barred from higher education after the December 2022 ban. At the secondary level, 1.4 million girls, 80% of school-aged females, are now out of school.
Afghanistan’s scientific infrastructure has been dismantled. The Afghanistan Science Academy shut down after the Taliban takeover, triggering a mass exodus of scholars. Primary school enrollment fell from 6.8 million in 2019 to 5.7 million in 2022. Kabul University alone lost 24,000 students due to closures. Education funding has been redirected toward Taliban enforcement, not development.
Digital access is also crippled. Just 15% of Afghans have internet connectivity. Among women in Kabul, only 3% report having access, cutting half the potential workforce off from the digital economy. The literacy rate has stagnated at 43%, halting prior gains. Between 2001 and 2015, Afghanistan had grown from 8,000 to over 174,000 university students, one-third of them women by 2021. That progress has now been reversed.
The Islamic State’s territorial control in Iraq and Syria resulted in the systematic destruction of educational and research infrastructure. The University of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest academic institution with thirty thousand students and 4,200 faculty members, was completely shuttered and later converted into military facilities. Seventy percent of the university’s infrastructure was damaged during the liberation battles, along with seventy-five percent of its electrical systems and forty-five percent of its water systems.
Educational curricula were overhauled to remove subjects deemed incompatible with ISIS ideology. Departments of archaeology, law, political science, science, mathematics, art, and music were shut down. The plus sign was banned in math for resembling a Christian symbol. Over one million university library books were burned, and hundreds of researchers were dismissed or fled. U.S.-educated scholars were often targeted for assassination.
In Syria, Al-Furat University in Raqqa was closed and reopened as an “Islamic University” with a stripped-down curriculum. Schools in Aleppo, Deir al-Zour, and Raqqa were shuttered pending ideological revision. Teachers under ISIS earned just $75–$90 per month, insufficient for basic needs.
In Somalia, Al-Shabaab has devastated education. The group systematically targets schools, teachers, and students, making normal instruction nearly impossible. Between 2015 and 2017, 1,572 boys were forcibly recruited, removing them from education and sending them into armed conflict.
This collapse in schooling has led to child labor and early marriage as families abandon hope in formal education. Teachers face ongoing threats, and schools often shut down during conflict. The few functioning universities in Al-Shabaab territory operate under extreme limitations.
In Yemen, the education crisis worsened after the Houthis seized territory in 2014. Around 4.5 million children now risk total educational loss. Of Yemen’s 15,826 schools, 12,240 sat empty due to a salary freeze, with 166,443 teachers unpaid for over a year.
The University of Science and Technology, previously ranked among Yemen’s leading institutions, was forced to relocate its headquarters from Sana’a to Aden due to prolonged Houthis’ control of its facilities and hospital. Educational salaries became subject to “war taxation” imposed by controlling authorities, further undermining the sustainability of academic institutions. Internet penetration remains limited throughout the country, with educational technology initiatives severely constrained by ongoing conflict.
While jihadist groups use technology such as drones, GPS, and encrypted social media platforms for propaganda and warfare, they do not promote their use for education, infrastructure, or scientific progress. Al-Shabaab, for instance, uses encrypted apps to recruit fighters but bans mobile phone use by women and schoolchildren.
And all of these wonderful losses of technology and education can be yours if you vote left.
Alina Habba’s defiance against the judiciary’s decision to replace her as Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey is a flashpoint in the battle for the soul of federal law enforcement.
Alina Habba’s Defiance
Alina Habba, once Donald Trump’s personal attorney, is making headlines again. Appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey by President Trump, her 120-day interim term has been a whirlwind of political drama. With New Jersey’s Democratic Senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim, refusing to endorse her, Senate confirmation seems out of reach. As the clock ticked down on her interim appointment, federal judges took matters into their own hands, appointing Desiree Grace, the first assistant in the office, as the acting U.S. Attorney.
Despite being replaced, Habba boldly declared, “I don’t cower to pressure. I don’t answer to politics.” This declaration comes amid reports of resignations and low morale within the office, alongside accusations of politicization. The judges’ decision underscores the ongoing struggle for control and influence in the federal legal system. The question remains: can a political appointee defy both judicial and political forces and claim authority?
Political and Judicial Tug of War
The drama surrounding Habba’s appointment is a microcosm of broader tensions between the branches of government. President Trump, motivated to install loyalists in crucial legal positions, finds his efforts stymied by the judiciary and legislative branches. The refusal of New Jersey’s Democratic Senators to support Habba underscores a significant roadblock in Trump’s plan. For the judges, this is about upholding the integrity and independence of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, a cornerstone of nonpartisan justice.
The conflict highlights a power struggle. On one side, Trump and his appointees assert executive authority. On the other, the judiciary and Senate flex their muscles to maintain checks and balances. This tug of war raises questions about the future of such appointments and the extent of executive power over the judiciary.
Implications for the Future
The immediate fallout from this controversy is a cloud of confusion over the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey. Reports of internal discord and low morale suggest a workplace in turmoil. The uncertainty over who truly holds authority could impact ongoing cases and the public’s trust in the office’s impartiality.
Long-term, this situation sets a precarious precedent. If political appointees can defy judicial decisions, the very foundation of federal prosecutorial independence is at risk. This could lead to an erosion of public trust in the rule of law and further polarization in both state and national politics. The chilling effect on career prosecutors considering service under politically contentious appointees cannot be understated.
Expert Opinions and Analysis
Legal analysts express concern over the politicization of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. While presidents have historically appointed loyalists, the refusal to accept judicial and Senate checks is highly unusual. Former prosecutors warn of the destabilizing effects this could have on the justice system.
Commentators argue that while Habba’s stance could be seen as a defense against political interference, it threatens the rule of law. The controversy is a stark reminder of the delicate balance between executive ambition and judicial oversight. As the situation unfolds, the legal community and the public watch closely, aware that the outcome could redefine the norms of federal legal appointments.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. President Trump announce trade deal between the U.S. and EU./Image: White House
President Trump met on Sunday with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Following negotiations, Trump announced that the United States and the EU have reached a trade deal.
The two leaders praised the teams on both sides for the hard work to get to the agreement.
Speaking with the press, von der Leyen shared, “The starting point was an imbalance, a surplus on our side and a deficit on the U.S. side. And we wanted to rebalance trade relation.”
“And we wanted to do it in a way that trade goes on between the two of us across the Atlantic,” she continued. “Because the two biggest economies should have good trade flow between us. I think we hit exactly the point we wanted to find.”
“Rebalance, but enable trade on both sides. Which means good jobs on both sides of the Atlantic. Means prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic and that was important for us.”
President Trump responded, “And again, the energy is a very important component because we have more energy than anyone else in that sense. And I think it was very wise…they buy a lot of energy and it’s great stuff.”
President Trump noted that steel would stay as it is, as it is a worldwide issue.
Under the terms of the deal, the EU has agreed to buy $750 billion worth of energy from the US.
Additionally, the EU will make $600 billion in investments in the US and will purchase hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment.
European goods coming into the U.S. will have a 15% tariff, the EU will put 0% tariffs on U.S. goods.
BREAKING: President Trump just announced he’s reached a trade deal with the European Union
This is a HUGE deal. European goods coming into the U.S. will have a 15% tariff.
On Wednesday, the Department of Education announced an investigation into multiple universities suspected of giving scholarships to illegals.
Five universities are facing investigation, including the University of Michigan, Western Michigan University, the University of Louisville, the University of Nebraska Omaha, and the University of Miami following civil rights complaints alleging the schools are illegally discriminating based on national origin to provide scholarships for students in the country illegally.
The Equal Protection Project (EqualProtect.org), which has filed legal challenges to DEI discrimination covering over almost 500 discriminatory programs and scholarships, recently filed five Civil Rights Complaints with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education regarding scholarships that are open only to DACA-eligible or ‘undocumented’ students. Such scholarships by definition allow only student born abroad to apply, since DACA does not apply to American-born students, who also are not ‘undocumented.’ This constitutes discrimination on the basis of national origin, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1963.
It’s important to note that we have not challenged whether DACA/Undocumented students can apply for scholarships, that’s a separate issue. The issue in our complaints is whether schools that receive federal funding and therefore are subject to the Civil Rights Act can promote and administer scholarships that exclude American-born students.
You can read more details here about three of these DACA/Undocumented legal challenges, which were among several types of discrimination challenged at these schools.
The Department of Education announced the investigation in a press release:
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has opened national origin discrimination investigations into the University of Louisville, the University of Nebraska Omaha, the University of Miami, the University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University. The investigations will determine whether these universities are granting scholarships only for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or “undocumented” students, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s (Title VI) prohibition against national origin discrimination.
These investigations are based on complaints submitted to OCR by the Legal Insurrection Foundation’s Equal Protection Project, which seeks to ensure equal protection under the law and non-discrimination by the government in any form.
“On January 20, 2025, President Trump promised that ‘every single day of the Trump Administration, [he] will, very simply, put America first.’ Neither the Trump Administration’s America first policies nor the Civil Right Act of 1964’s prohibition on national origin discrimination permit universities to deny our fellow citizens the opportunity to compete for scholarships because they were born in the United States,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor. “As we mark President Trump’s historic six months back in the White House, we are expanding our enforcement efforts to protect American students and lawful residents from invidious national origin discrimination of the kind alleged here.”
“Protecting equal access to education includes protecting the rights of American-born students. At the Equal Protection Project, we are gratified that the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is acting on our complaints regarding scholarships that excluded American-born students,” said William A. Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project. “Discrimination against American-born students must not be tolerated.”
The investigations also will examine additional scholarships that appear to exclude students based on other aspects of Title VI, including race and color.
Background
According to the complaints, the following scholarships allegedly provide unlawful exclusionary funding based on national origin:
University of Louisville’s Sagar Patagundi Scholarship to “subsidize the cost of higher education…for undergraduate DACA and undocumented students;”
University of Nebraska Omaha’s Dreamer’s Pathway Scholarship for “students who are DACA or DACA-eligible and Nebraska residents who are seeking an undergraduate degree;”
University of Miami’s U Dreamers Program, which “is available to academically talented and admissible [DACA] and undocumented high school seniors and transfer students;”
University of Michigan’s Dreamer Scholarship, which “is intended to support undocumented students or students with DACA status;” and
Western Michigan University’s WMU Undocumented/DACA Scholarship “for undergraduate students who are ineligible to receive federal student aid due to an undocumented or DACA status.”
OCR will also investigate other allegedly impermissible and exclusionary scholarships detailed in the complaint, which include:
University of Louisville’s Dawn Wilson Scholarship for “undergraduate LGBTQ+ students of color” and the Louisville Tango Festival Scholarship for “Latino/a/x and Hispanic students;”
University of Nebraska Omaha’s HDR Scholarship, which gives “preference…to underrepresented minority students;” and
Western Michigan University’s Elissa Gatlin Endowed Scholarship for “African American, Native American, or Hispanic American” students.
Hillary Clinton and two Deep State goons are about to receive some terrible news within the next several days that could result in their loss of freedom.
Paul Sperry from Real Clear Investigations reveals that more bad news is in store for Clinton. The CIA and DOJ are working together to declassify for release damning information that Comey’s FBI accelerated Hillary’s sinister plan to frame Trump as a Russian lackey.
And Clinton is not alone. Comey and Brennan are also in jeopardy for their roles.
The release will likely happen at some point next week.
From Sperry:
CIA’s been working w DOJ to declassify for release–likely this week–explosive new info from long-class. Appendix to Durham Report showing FBI accelerated plan by Hillary to frame Trump as a Russian traitor. Underlying intel puts Brennan, Comey, Hillary in perjury jeopardy

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft previously reported that Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning. These documents include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion hoax, knowing there was no proof to back it up.
Page three of this latest document drop shows that then-President Obama ordered the release of documents, knowing there was no evidence to back them up. Obama didn’t just know about the Russia hoax – he directed it. All to delegitimize Trump’s historic win.
Several deep state hacks affiliated with Obama also helped push the Russia Hoax, including Brennan and Clapper. The latter is so worried that he has already lawyered up.
And let’s not forget that Clinton directly coordinated with the Obama White House to launch the hoax. All because of her hatred for Trump.
Michelle Sky Goes Viral After Mistaking Sewage for Sea Foam in Beach Video
Popular social media influencer Michelle Sky has sparked a storm of online reactions after posting a video of herself enthusiastically diving into what she believed was harmless sea foam — only to later discover it was actually raw sewage discharged from a nearby industrial pipe. The footage has surpassed 12 million views in less than 24 hours, turning into a viral moment with both comedic and alarming undertones.

After the tyrannical enforcement of the now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate, now determined to be “unlawful as implemented,” skepticism of all vaccines has clearly increased throughout the military community.
Sadly, some service members are facing punitive actions for objecting to the flu shot, having argued it is ineffective and detrimental to not only their health, but also their religious convictions. An anonymous Marine officer and Air Force Major Brennan Schilperoort share a similar moral and religious objection to the shot, while also suffering adverse effects from a previous injection. Additionally, both officers have also shown natural immunity.
Rather than recognizing their Constitutionally protected religious rights to substantiate their objection, the military has decided to separate both individuals from service. Although Maj. Schilperoort’s pay was restored by the Air Force, it must be noted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is aware of their situation, but has thus far remained silent on the issue of separation over the flu shot.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to independent journalist Jeremy Hammond, whose articles about the flu shot have elicited high praise from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
For Hammond, “The coerced vaccination of military service members is yet another unfortunate example of how the government systematically violates individuals’ right to informed consent.” He explained, “This policy exists despite scientific evidence indicating that getting an annual flu shot can actually increase the risk of influenza illness.”
A Cleveland Clinic study of their 54,402 employees during the 2024-2025 flu season found the flu shot was not effective in preventing the transmission of the respiratory illness. Results of the study can be found at MedRxiv, pronounced “med-archive,” an online platform used to share “preprints” in the medical, clinical, and health science fields.
The manuscript is a preprint, meaning it has not been peer-reviewed. Thus, “it reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice,” according to the site.
While some might question the validity and reliability of the research as a result, preprints are also known to allow for quicker dissemination of research, provide opportunities for feedback from the scientific community, or could simply be considered an early version of the research manuscript.
With these parameters in place to consider, the study found “in an analysis adjusted for age, sex, clinical nursing job, and employment location, the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state, yielding a calculated vaccine effectiveness of −26.9%” [emphasis added]. Therefore, based on this data, it can be stated vaccinated individuals were 27 percent more likely to get the flu.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health organizations continue to recommend the flu shot, the Cleveland Clinic study has given pause to many concerned about the efficacy of the shot.
For military service members who take objection to the flu shot and seek accommodation or exemption, an objective look at previously published data also supports their stance. Consider the wealth of citations included in a May 2020 letter sent to Dr. Sanjay Gupta by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
For example, Kennedy, who now serves as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), pointed out that in a 2010 systematic meta review of literature, “Cochrane researchers found ‘no evidence that [flu] vaccines prevent viral transmission or complications.’”
What’s more, he wrote, “a study from January 18, 2018, in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, PNAS, found that influenza vaccination actually increased transmission of the virus, with vaccinated individuals shedding more than six times as much aerosolized virus in their breath than unvaccinated individuals.”
He also noted that a January 2020 study by the Department of Defense “found that the flu shot INCREASES the risks from coronavirus by 36%.”
He pointed out, “TheNew York Times cited it to support the claim that flu shot confers ‘a big payoff in public health’, when in fact the review found that the fundamental assumptions underlying the CDC’s universal flu shot recommendation were unsupported by scientific evidence, and the review authors went so far in their criticism of the CDC’s policy as to accuse it of deliberately misrepresenting the science to support its policy.”
He asserted, “CDC policymakers refuse to consider that superior natural immunity is an opportunity cost of vaccination, which helps to explain the findings of numerous studies of an increased [emphasis added] risk of influenza illness associated with annual receipt of flu shots.” In addition, he said, “There is also the problem of ‘original antigenic sin’, where the initial priming of the immune system prejudices future responses to pathogenic challenges.”
Hammond offered a series of studies reported in PLoS Medicine in 2010, which “found an increased risk of illness due to the 2009 pandemic swine flu among those who’d received that year’s seasonal flu shot.” Additionally, he said, “A study in the Journal of Virology in 2011 found that annual influenza vaccination hampers the development of robust cell-mediated immunity that would otherwise be induced by infection.”
There are also “non-specific effects” of vaccines to consider. “Just because a vaccine is effective at reducing the risk of illness from the target pathogen does not mean that it reduces the overall risk of illness,” he shared. “Vaccinations can detrimentally affect the immune system in ways that make people more vulnerable to other diseases.” To that end, a study in Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2012 found that children who received the flu shot had an increased risk of non-influenza infections.
“Even a CDC-funded study in Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2014 found that the more that people received a flu shot each year, the less effective the protection was over time, such that ‘vaccine-induced protection was greatest for individuals not vaccinated during the prior 5 years,’” Hammond shared. “Tellingly, the CDC researchers didn’t include in their study individuals who had not received any flu shots during the observation period for comparison.” He concluded, “You can’t find what you don’t look for, so the CDC doesn’t bother looking.”
Two weeks ago, Air Force Col. (Ret.) Rob Maness welcomed Maj. Schilperoort to his show:
Shortly after, the Air Force major also appeared on the Finding Your Spone podcast with Dr. Chase Spears. Click here to listen to the podcast.
US Special Envoy Tom Barrack and former ISIS Terrorist Abu Mohammed al-Jolani (photo: Tom Barrack/X)
As Syrian Government-backed Islamist terrorists massacred roughly one thousand Druze and Christians in Suwayda, Southern Syria, US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack denied Syrian regime forces were involved, complained about Israel defending the Druze from the terrorists, and earlier shook hands with former ISIS terrorist and new Syrian President Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani.
A commentary by Gateway Pundit Guest contributor Avi Abelow from Israel:
The world is watching, horrified but passive, as Sunni forces, some officially associated with the Jolani regime and others not, sweep through southern Syria, leaving trails of mass-executed Druze civilians in their wake in the area of Suwayda.
Among the victims are American citizens, who returned to visit family in Suwayda and Jabal al-Druze. Some were dragged from homes. Some were shot execution-style, recorded on videos, that have gone viral around the world. Eerily similar to the atrocities, and videos of pride, that the Iranian and Qatari supported Hamas terrorists did to Israel on Oct. 7th.
And yet, as these videos circulate online, Washington remains silent.
Why?
Because these atrocities are being committed by the very “Sunni forces”, supported by Turkey and Qatar, the U.S. is backing, under the watch of Trump’s pick, Ambassador and special envoy Tom Barrack, a former Ambassador to Turkey who has past business ties to Qatar.
If this atrocity against the Syrian Druze, Alawaites, and Christians continues, and if Trump fails to act to stop it, this could become his Benghazi, a moment of moral abandonment and geopolitical blindness that stains his legacy.
Tom Barrack must be replaced. Immediately.
Barrack’s policies have endangered the minorities in Syria, Druze American citizens, empowered Sunni jihadists with ties to ISIS and al-Qaeda, and weakened Israel’s ability to act against unfolding genocide.
If Trump wants to preserve his reputation as a president of moral clarity and America First, he must do what Obama never had the courage to do in Benghazi:
Stand with America’s allies. Stop the terrorists. And let Israel lead.
Even staunch Trump supporter Mark Levin is calling out the disaster in plain terms on his Twitter/X account:
“This guy Barrack strikes me as a fool. His friends in the Syrian regime, including ISIS veterans, are slaughtering Druze and other minorities. And he has the gall to condemn the Israeli government for ‘complicating’ matters?! This kind of bullsh*t public positioning gives aid and comfort to murderers. It incentivizes them. This fool should be fired.”
And again:
“I just watched a horrific video of a Syrian terrorist cutting the heart out of a Druze civilian as he was alive and defenseless! … Meanwhile, our envoy, Barrack, denounces the Israelis who are the only people trying to protect them.”
Levin is right. And the time to act is now.
Over the past week, multiple Druze community leaders from Syria have publicly called on Israel to not only defend their villages—but to liberate and remain in southern Syria.
One statement from a Druze elder in Suwayda reads:
“We ask the Israeli government: do not wait. We are your neighbors and your allies. We share blood. We beg you to stop the Sunni militias. Only you can prevent another massacre.”
Another, broadcast on a Druze community channel in Arabic, pleaded:
“Let Israel come. Let them take control if they must. We would rather live under Israeli protection than die under jihadist knives.”
Back in December 2024 Druze leaders from southern Syria pleaded: “We want to be annexed to the Israeli Golan to preserve our dignity … We want to join our people in the Golan and live with freedom and honor.”
They knew a massacre was coming, and they wanted to be protected. But Trump’s envoy Barrack has done everything to allow for their massacre.
Israel liberating Southern Syria is not occupation. This is liberation. This is moral clarity. And this is strategic alignment with persecuted, pro-Western minorities.
A strategic Israeli presence in southern Syria would do more than save Druze lives. It would also empower the persecuted Kurds, who have also been targeted by Sunni supremacists and Iranian militias alike.
It would block Iran’s land corridor to Lebanon.
It would neutralize Turkey and Qatar’s jihadist proxies, acting as part of their Islamic global jihad, ignored by Barrack and the Trump administration
It would give America a loyal, local force protecting minority rights, without needing to deploy a single U.S. soldier.
This is what Trump’s “America First” policy is supposed to be about: strong, sovereign allies like Israel doing the hard work—so American blood and force doesn’t have to.
Yet somehow, Tom Barrack is pressuring Israel not to act.
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz publicly rebuked him:
“He doesn’t know the facts,” Katz said, after Barrack complained that Israeli strikes to protect Druze villages were “complicating” regional stability.
This isn’t stability. It’s genocide. And it’s being enabled by Washington.
We cannot allow this to be another Rwanda. Another Yazidi mountain crisis. Another Benghazi.
Israel is ready to act. It has already struck terror convoys, opened humanitarian corridors, and treated wounded Druze in its hospitals.
But it needs the diplomatic space and moral backing to go further.
Here’s What Must Happen Now:
Replace Tom Barrack. He is dangerously unfit and morally compromised.
Publicly back Israeli liberation operations in southern Syria.
Establish a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridor for Druze, Alawite, Kurd and Christian refugees.
Freeze all U.S. support to Sunni rebel factions, including those armed by Turkey and Qatar.
Investigate Barrack’s financial entanglements with Gulf states and Turkey. The American people deserve to know who’s influencing our foreign policy.
Reaffirm U.S. support for Israel and Kurdish autonomy, two bulwarks of Western values in the Middle East.7. Reimpose sanctions on Syria and Jolani’s terror group HTS
If the conservative movement turns its back on Israel, on the Druze, and on the truth, it won’t be Israel that falls. It will be the fall of the moral foundation of the West and a jihadi win in its global jihadi agenda.
Because this is not about foreign aid or Middle East “complexities.”
This is about right and wrong and protecting the world against the genocidal jihadi death cult advancing in the West as well.
This is about preventing genocide, defending minorities, and choosing truth over tribalism, values over vacuous talking points.
Trump has a choice: be the man who stopped another Middle East genocide. Or let Tom Barrack turn his legacy into Benghazi 2.0.
History is watching.
And Israel? Israel will do what it always does—stand alone if it must, defend the innocent, and tell the truth, no matter the cost.
But how tragic if it must do so without the full support of the Trump administration, the one ally committed, in words, to lead differently than previous administrations.
A user with the IG handle “@life_by_dani_” has posted on IG a video that has now gone viral that shows MULTIPLE cringe self entitled California woke women harassing and yelling at ICE agents. Federal agents in the video appear to be arresting multiple suspected illegal aliens in the parking lot of a Home Depot. The location of the video appears to be Encinitas, California according to the user.
Here is the caption posted by the user along with the video:
“I was driving home from Trader Joe’s this morning after I dropped my son off at summer camp and saw ICE tying these people up at Home Depot. I watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn’t looking.
Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man’s family. They wouldn’t let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.This man won’t return home to his family tonight, and his family will probably never know what happened to him. This is the America we’re living in.This is our little beach town of Encinitas.”
