The Druze/Christian massacre is FAR WORSE than they want you to know [Syria update] [42:00]
July 21,2025 JNS TV
Host Emily Schrader breaks down the escalating crisis in southern Syria, where the Druze minority faces a brutal massacre, a collapsing ceasefire and deafening silence from the international community. What is Israel’s responsibility toward its Druze allies across the border and why has the world once again turned its back on victims of jihadist terror?
Joining Emily are a powerhouse panel: co-host Shoshana Keats-Jaskel, co-founder of Chochmat Nashim; Daniel Ryan Spalding, comedian and activist; and Ruthie Blum, JNS Senior Contributing Editor and host of Israel Undiplomatic. Together, they uncover the harrowing footage and reports emerging from Syria and debate Israel’s moral and strategic calculus.
The discussion then shifts to Gaza, where a surprising new development sees local clans turning on Hamas and aligning with Israel. Could this mark a major turning point in the region? The panel debates the risks of replacing Hamas with equally dangerous factions, and whether Arab partners like the UAE or Morocco could help steer Gaza toward stability.

Trump continues to excel in his role as Entertainer in Chief LEO HOHMANN
President posts another childish video meant to distract the masses from his dangerous policies leading Americans into WWIII and a technocratic surveillance state.
JUL 21, 2025
With all the stuff going on in the world, including the continued escalation toward World War III with Russia and his continued policies of preparing America to become a technocratic surveillance state, President Donald J. Trump continues to distract and misdirect his followers by pushing childish partisan fantasies that will never materialize.
Instead of focusing on avoiding World War III or Trump’s latest technocratic move of creating a government-endorsed digital, programmable currency, Trump devolves into trolling Barack Obama.
The president posted on Monday to Truth Social an AI-created spoof video that shows Obama being arrested and frogmarched to prison by the FBI.
He also posted fake prison mugshots of Obama and his inner circle in orange prison jumpsuits under the title, “The Shady Bunch,” a spoof on The Brady Bunch. That one was actually kinda funny.
While it makes for good entertainment, it’s never going to happen. But hey, it excites the base and gets their attention off of the Epstein files and two disastrous bills Trump recently signed — the Big Beautiful Bill and the extremely dangerous Genius Act. He’s also managed to continue the Biden policy of fully funding NATO’s proxy war against Russia, using Ukraine as the proxy.
The BBB continues government spending at unsustainable levels, piling on more debt that can never be repaid and ultimately leading to a collapse of the U.S. dollar, while also “investing” heavily in more data centers and AI infrastructure for the rising beast system.
The Genius Act, signed by Trump on Friday, creates a digital Stablecoin which is neither stable nor a coin and will serve as the new digital payment system once the physical dollar has been destroyed and the Federal Reserve possibly replaced with something just as bad or worse. It won’t technically be a Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC, but it will function just the same as one. Trump’s administration has become expert at using Orwellian language for new laws that do what he promised he would never do.
I’ve always said that we reach the point of no return when the globalist elites have created two things: A functional digital ID for all people and a digital currency on the blockchain. We now have both in America, compliments of President Trump. The Real ID, with Trump being the first president to strictly enforce it, is the biometric digital ID the globalists have been waiting for and the Stablecoin will be their digital currency.
But we are supposed to not look at the elephants in the room and focus on cute videos of Obama being perp walked to prison?
I see this as nothing but distraction. You may disagree and are welcome to voice your opinion in the comments section below.
My advice would be this: Don’t pay attention to the distraction of the day put out by the Entertainer in Chief and focus instead on getting ready for World War III and economic hardships ahead. Also focus on your relationship with God.
Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Latest Middle East Conflict [12:50] Charlie Kirk
July 21, 2025 – Mansur Ashkar, an Israeli Druse, describes in detail what is happening to the Druse in Syria today.
‘The New York Times’ genocide scholar is no neutral observer by MOSHE PHILLIPS
Omer Bartov was accusing Israel of such “crimes” even before Oct. 7.
July 21, 2025 JNS
It’s no secret that, over the decades, the editors of The New York Times’ opinion pages have earned every ounce of criticism leveled at them by supporters of Israel—and yet they persist in finding the most extreme writers to showcase. A column published on July 15 may go down as one of the worst hit pieces the Times has published since the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023.
In “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It,” Omer Bartov not only charges Israel with crimes it has not committed but also disgraces the memory of the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The essay is more than 3,500 words. A typical New York Times op-ed column is reported to be between 750 and 800 words long. The Times itself has stated, “(T)he suggested length is 650 words.”
Why, then, did the opinion editors at the Times publish such an exceptionally long article? If you’re thinking that maybe it’s because it broke new ground, you’d be wrong. Bartov doesn’t offer his readers any new information that would warrant his verbosity. Instead, the piece repackages the same polemics that have been echoing in academic and activist circles for months, laced with inflammatory language and selective framing that ignores critical context.
Freedom of the press ensures the right of writers and publishers to try and hawk whatever nonsense they want, including lies about Israel engaging in “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide.” But what is outrageous about Bartov is that he presents himself as a fair arbiter when it comes to Israel—and the Times gives him a platform to do it.
Bartov is an Israeli-born professor at Brown University. In his essay in the Times, he seeks to legitimize his slurs against his former home by writing that he “served in the IDF as a soldier and officer.” Bartov should have become infamous in this post-Oct. 7 period for his claims that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza. This variation on the “As a Jew” criticism of Zionism and Israel is just as morally and intellectually flawed as any other claim that someone is somehow entitled to issue extreme rhetoric against the Jewish state and be above reproach.
Bartov has become a sensation in certain liberal circles for his hostility to Israel. The Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism at the University of London featured him as a speaker in March. In the announcement for the lecture, Birkbeck stated that Bartov would speak about how Zionism has become “an ideology of ethno-nationalism, exclusion, and domination of Palestinians.” Such language deliberately flattens decades of complex history, ignores Palestinian rejectionism and erases the existential threats Israel continues to face—from Hamas to Hezbollah to Iran.
Let’s be clear: Bartov’s problem is not what is happening in the Gaza Strip. His problem is Israel’s very existence. He has been bashing Israel long before Oct. 7. Back in August 2023—more than two months before Israeli troops even entered Gaza—he was one of the lead signatories on a letter accusing Israel of conspiring to “ethnically cleanse all territories under Israeli rule of their Palestinian population.”
And he has a long record of similar pronouncements.
How can such outrageous accusations against the Times be taken seriously if he leaves out the fact that he was accusing Israel of such “crimes” before Oct. 7?
That Bartov’s op-ed was featured just as the Druze were being slaughtered in Sweida in southern Syria begs the question: Will the readers of the Times see unbiased analysis of the crimes, including the rape and slaughter of innocent Druze? Will Bartov or the opinion editors at the Times give these authentic atrocities the attention they deserve?
I won’t hold my breath.

Massive Exposure of the Deep State MICHAEL T. FLYNN LTG USA (RET)
COURAGE AND COMMITMENT TO THE TRUTH
JUL 21, 2025
Here’s what is playing out in real time.
1. The DEEP STATE PLAN
2. The STRATEGY
3. The TARGET
4. The COUNTERPUNCH
All it needed was a blend of courage and commitment to the TRUTH. President Trump, thanks for demonstrating both. It took longer than thought but, in the end, resulted in massive exposure of the deep state.
@DNIGabbard it’s not the waves in life you catch, it’s how you ride them that matters. No wipeouts here. Best wave of the day!
DNI Tulsi Gabbard has made three things unmistakably clear:
1. The Intelligence Community repeatedly concluded — before and after Election Day in NOV 2016 — that Russia LACKED both the intent and capability to alter U.S. vote totals.
2. Those conclusions were suppressed or overwritten at the direction of senior Obama officials and probably Obama himself after President Trump won.
Talking points drafted for DNI James Clapper on December 7, 2016, stated flatly, “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential election outcome,” yet the president’s daily brief containing those conclusions was killed hours later [shows intent to deceive].
3. A hastily ordered Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), released January 6, 2017, relied in part on the now totally discredited Steele dossier and became the cornerstone of the years-long coup effort by Barack Obama and his band of thieves to undermine the will of the American people.
In this article is an exceptional timeline and additional facts well worth the read.

Who are the Druze?: 8 Facts by Dr. Yvette Alt Miller
Learn about the Druze faith, Druze history, the Israeli Druze community and more.
July 30, 2024
The Druze are a minority within Israel who thrive while practicing their own religion and living in close-knit communities in Israel’s north. Here are eight facts about the Druze community.
1. What is the Druze religion?
The Druze religion began 1100 years ago, in 11th century Egypt, among Shi’ite Muslims. A visiting missionary from Persia helped encourage the view that the caliph of Egypt at the time, al Hakim ibn Amr Allah, was the divine incarnation of God. Amidst an atmosphere of great religious tension, al Hakim disappeared in the year 1021, Druze believe that in one day he will return and usher in an era of global peace.
Much of the finer points of the Druze religion are secret, even to ordinary Druze people, and are maintained by religious leaders called “uqqal” (“knowers”). Aspects of the Druze religion that are widely known include monotheism, a belief in reincarnation, equality between men and women, and a host of prophets who span Christian, Muslim, and ancient Greek culture. Druze have a unique religious text called Al-Hikmah al-Sharifah, which is only read by the faith’s elders. Among Druze holy figures are Moses, Moses’ father in law Jethro, Plato, Socrates, Jesus, Mohammed, and Alexander the Great. The Druze religion doesn’t recognize conversion, either into the religion or out to another faith.
2. Druze People Live in Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Elsewhere
Druze followers left Egypt and flourished further north, in what today are the nations of Lebanon, Syria and Israel. Under French rule, there was an attempt to establish an independent Druze state inside of present-day Lebanon, which failed. Today, estimates of the number of Druze people in the world today range from 800,000 to 2 million. The greatest number – over 600,000 – of Druze people today live in Syria. Smaller communities exist in Lebanon, Israel, and abroad, in Europe, Australia, and both North and South America.
Approximately 150,000 Druze live in Israel. For generations, many Druze faced persecution and discrimination at the hands of their neighboring Muslim communities and overlords. Though Druze people speak Arabic, they consider themselves a distinct, unique group.
3. Druze Fought on Israel’s Side in Israel’s 1948 War of Independence
During the British Mandate period, when Great Britain ruled present-day Israel (1923-1948), tensions between Jews and Arabs soared. A series of Arab pogroms against Jewish communities swept present-day Israel in 1929, resulting in the deaths of scores of Jews. During this time, Druze people generally sided with Jews. When Israel declared its independence and faced an onslaught from surrounding Arab armies, Druze people stood with Israel and fought on the Israeli side during its War of Independence.
“A long-standing friendship links the Druze and the Jews in Israel,” noted former Israeli President Chaim Herzog. “In our War of Independence, many Druze fought side by side with Jews to repel the Arab invasion.” (Quoted in Living History: The Memoirs of a Great Israeli Freedom-Fighter, Soldier, Diplomat and Statesman, by Chaim Herzog. Weidenfeld and Nicholson, London: 1997.)
4. Druze of Israel
Most Israeli Druze people live in the Carmel region of Israel’s north. There is also a flourishing Druze community in and around Haifa, and a smaller community of about 18,000 Druze people who live in the Golan Heights, which Israel gained from Syria in the 1967 “Six Day” War and which Israel annexed in 1981. Majdal Shams – where Hezbollah’s massacre of children took place – is a bustling town in the Golan Heights; the vast majority of its over 11,000 residents are Druze. (Unlike Druze people who live in the rest of Israel, Druze residents of the Golan have the choice of whether or not to accept Israeli citizenship; each year, scores of people do so.)
5. The Druze Flag
Visitors to Israel’s north might have noticed colorful rainbow flags flying in some towns and villages. This is the Druze flag, made up of red, green, yellow, blue and white. Sometimes flown in a stripe shape, it can also take the form of a colorful star. Each of the flag’s five colors is associated with a particular human trait, including the masculine, feminine, wisdom, etc.
6. Israel’s Druze Community is Flourishing
By many measures, the most successful and flourishing Druze community in the world is in Israel. Since Israel’s founding in 1948, the Israeli Druze population has increased over 1000%.
With the creation of the Israeli state in 1948 came an era of liberation for Israel’s Druze. As historian Howard M. Sachar has noted, in the early days of Israel’s poverty-stricken statehood, Israel encouraged Druze life by “granting the Druze the status of an official religious community, with their own religious council and courts” and “by supplying their villages with a generous measure of roads, water pipelines, and agricultural credit and guidance.” (Quoted in A History of Israel From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time by Howard M. Sachar. 2nd Edition. Alfred A. Knopf, New York: 2002.)
Israeli Druze people have strong family values: in one recent Israeli poll, 99% of Israeli Druze said they believe in God. Only 1% report having married outside their faith. 93% describe themselves as proud to be Druze.
7. Israeli Druze Serve in the Israel Defense Forces and Excel in Israeli Society
Druze men are required to complete Israeli army service. (In this, they are unique among Israel’s Arab population: Arab Christians and Arab Muslims are not required to serve, though they can volunteer if they wish.) In the army – and elsewhere in Israeli society – many Druze people reach the highest levels, out of all proportion to their small numbers. When they serve in the armed services, Druze soldiers serve disproportionately in elite army units, helping to foster a feeling of intense patriotism in their community. Druze Israelis also work as university professors, politicians, members of Israel’s Knesset, diplomats, judges, physicians, and in other prestigious fields.
Wherever Druze people live, they traditionally have felt a fierce attachment to their home nation. “Each community is completely patriotic and loyal to its country,” explained Aimen Amer, an Israeli Druze entrepreneur, Israel Defense Forces veteran, and co-founder of the HR tech company Skillinn. This is the secret of the incredible success of Israel’s Druze community, he feels.
8. A Major Druze Holiday Takes Place in Israel Each Spring.
Each April 25-28, thousands of Druze people flock to the Israeli city of Tiberius for the Druze festival of Ziyarat al-Nabi Shu’ayb, which honors Jethro, Moses’ father in law, whom Druze believe is buried just west of Tiberius. The three-day long festival is recognized as a holiday in Israel. Druze people don’t work during the pilgrimage, and Israeli leaders commonly extend holiday greetings to the Druze community during this time.

Use It or Lose It by Linda Goudsmit
July 20, 2025
Use it or lose it is the colloquial definition of neuroplasticity, defined in more technical terms by BetterHelp online in its, February 19, 2025, article “What ‘Use It Or Lose It’ Means in Neuropsychology“:
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the central nervous system to form and reorganize neural connections in response to injury or a learning event. This trait allows the human brain to adapt and change depending on events or experiences. Human brains can adapt through learning when an individual practices a task repeatedly. However, if they do not follow through with this repetition, this adaptive ability is lost, and they lose these possible new neural pathways until they return to the practice. This phenomenon is often referred to as the central nervous system’s “use it or lose it” insurance policy.
Why is neuroplasticity so important? Because neuroplasticity is the process that establishes agency in human beings, and because neurological processes can be used constructively or exploited for destruction. In my 2024 book, Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is, Chapter 5: America Requires an Education Revolution explains the concept of agency, and how agency is required for freedom in a constitutional republic.
Reading is the essential foundational skill individual citizens use to access information and make informed decisions. Together, reading, writing, and arithmetic are the communication tools that equip children with agency. Understanding the psychological concept of agency is extremely important to our discussion. Encyclopedia.com[i] defines and discusses agency:
The concept of agency as a psychological dimension refers to the process of behaving with intentionality. Human beings exercise agency when they intentionally influence their own functioning, environments, life circumstances, and destiny. To posit that human beings have agency is to contend that they are self-organizing, proactive, self-regulating, and self-reflecting rather than reactively shaped by environmental forces or driven by concealed inner impulses.
Reading provides agency for learning because textbooks, including math and science textbooks, require the ability to read. Reading provides a sense of independence, accomplishment, and self-sufficiency. Competence is the mother of self-esteem, and learning to read is a seismic shift in a child’s perception of self. The child begins to feel his or her power. Encyclopedia.com continues:
To exercise human agency, people must believe in their capability to attain given ends. These self-efficacy beliefs are the foundation of human motivation, well-being, and accomplishment. Whatever other factors serve as guides and motivators, they are rooted in the core belief that one has the power to effect changes by one’s actions, that one’s locus of control is internal rather than external. This is because unless people believe that their actions can produce the outcomes they desire, they have little incentive to act or to persevere in the face of difficulties.
Radical leftist progressive education’s primary tool of destruction exploits neuroplasticity by deliberately replacing phonics with whole-word instruction to teach reading. The consequential illiteracy rate in America today is a national scandal.
In 2021, education reformers Samuel Blumenfeld and Alex Newman published a stunning book, Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy American Children.[ii] The book describes the intentional exploitation of public education to dumb down American students and condition them for life in a socialist state:
The plan to dumb down America was launched in 1898 by socialist John Dewey, outlined in an essay titled “The Primary-Education Fetich.” In it he showed his fellow progressives how to transform America into a collectivist utopia by taking over the public schools and destroying the literacy of millions of Americans. The plan has been so successfully implemented that it is now a fact that half of America’s adult population are functionally illiterate. They can’t read their country’s Declaration of Independence. They can’t even read their high school diplomas.
The method of achieving this was simply changing the way children are taught to read in their schools. The utopians got rid of the intensive phonics method of instruction and imposed a look-say, sight, or whole-word method that forces children to read English as if it were Chinese. The method is widely used in today’s public schools, which is why there are so many failing public schools that cannot teach children the basics. This can only be considered a blatant and evil form of child abuse. (Crimes of the Educators, p. xii)
Phonics instruction follows the rules of repetition in neuroplasticity by requiring children to learn the sounds of letters and then teaching them to sound out the word letter-by-letter. In this way children acquire agency––they can read any word put in front of them, and a world of knowledge welcomes them in. Children taught with the whole-word method are expected to see sequences of unfamiliar shapes and memorize them. Whole-word instruction violates the rules of neuroplasticity. Educational reformer Bruce Deitrick Price explains this dynamic in two short paragraphs on pages 22-23 in his extraordinary 2017 book, Saving K-12: What Happened to Our Public Schools? How Do We Fix Them?[iii]:
Just for a moment, consider the silly theory that our top educators put forward. There should be no sounding out of letters and syllables; instead, children should memorize words as graphic designs or diagrams. Put yourself in the head of a kid showing up for first grade. The teacher points to a design like “xhyld” and instructs, “This means house. When you see this say house.” So, can you memorize “xhyld“?
Probably. But will you be able to pick it out from similar designs, of which there are dozens, such as: xhydd, xyhld, xhydl, xyyld, xhdyl, xyjkl, xkyht, xygld, etc. of course, you’ll need to be ready for variations such as XHYDD, XYHLD, XHYDL, XYYLD, XHDYL, XXYJKL, XKYHT, XYGLD. Okay, maybe you have a photographic memory, so you might have a chance. But no ordinary person has even a tiny chance of being literate. You can probably feel the dyslexia creeping into your brain.
The crippling insistence on whole-word instruction is augmented by the sinister campaign to replace actual learning with artificial intelligence (AI) assistants. Marketed for convenience, students are being aggressively encouraged to use and rely on free AI assistant software tools like Grammarly, which can “think” and “write” their papers for them.
It is a diabolical campaign to dumb down the student population, steal their agency, and make them wholly dependent upon technology controlled, curated, and censored by the globalist elite. Garbage in––garbage out (GIGO)! This is an information war, and our nation’s children are the target in both form and content. Curiosity did not kill the cat––convenience did! Convenience is a catastrophic humanitarian hoax that disguises its destructive intent and sells its GIGO content and surveillance capabilities as “Smart” technology.
In a stunning article posted on Gateway Pundit, July 18, 2025, journalist Ben Kew reports, “OpenAI Unveils ‘Agent’ Feature That Can Control Your Computer and Perform Tasks Automatically.” He writes:
OpenAI is preparing to launch a new feature that may mark the latest leap forward in the artificial intelligence revolution.
On Thursday, the company unveiled ChatGPT Agent, a tool designed to carry out tasks independently using its own built-in “virtual computer.”
Consider the name of the AI assistant tool––ChatGPT Agent––which is actually stealing the user’s agency in the name of convenience! In an earlier Gateway Pundit article, on June 21, 2025, Ben Kew reports, “Terrifying MIT Study Finds ChatGPT is Rotting Our Brains.” The study documents how AI assistant tools are interfering with learning and dumbing down the population by exploiting the use it or lose it phenomenon in neuroplasticity. The insidious goal of convenience is exposed as the effort to interrupt the development of critical-thinking skills that provide adults with the ability to rationally assess facts and come to conclusions based on those facts––not on their feelings.
A terrifying new study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found that extensive use of ChatGPT may be rotting our brains.
Researchers at MIT’s Media Lab asked participants to write SAT-style essays while dividing them into three groups: one used ChatGPT, another used Google, and the third relied only on their own knowledge — the “brain-only” group.
Brain activity was tracked using EEG machines, which recorded how engaged different parts of the brain were during the writing process.
The results showed that the ChatGPT group had the lowest brain activity and performed the worst overall in terms of thinking, writing quality, and focus. …
The study warned that relying too much on AI tools like ChatGPT can reduce critical thinking skills, especially in young people.
The lead researcher, Nataliya Kosmyna, said she rushed the findings out because she’s worried about AI being introduced too early in schools.
“What really motivated me to put it out now before waiting for a full peer review is that I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, ‘let’s do GPT kindergarten,'” she told TIME magazine.
“I think that would be absolutely bad and detrimental,” she continued. “Developing brains are at the highest risk.”
We the people must understand that AI assistant software is the weaponized tool of the globalist elite and designed to alter every aspect of education to steal your child’s agency. AI assistant tools are the tactical soldiers in globalism’s strategic information war being waged against America on the battlefield of your child’s mind. President Trump’s determination to dismantle the radical leftist, anti-American Department of Education is a giant leap forward.

Does Opposing Sex Trafficking Mean You Do Not Support Trump? [57:13] Tom Renz
JUL 20, 2025
President Trump forgot the first rule of being in a hole today – put down the shovel. Instead of reading the room and realizing that his approval is tanking, he’s risking the midterms, and he’s infuriating his most loyal supporters, Trump decided to tell everyone that cares about Epstein trafficking children that he doesn’t need their support. This gaslighting is incredible and, frankly, inexplicable. Trump won the election because the Dems were unelectable and he was able to cobble together a strong coalition that included MAGA and MAHA. His absurd and continued support for mRNA is a tough pill for MAHA to swallow and now he’s attacking core principles of MAGA – equal justice and protecting kids. I love Trump but this is not going to end well and that is bad for the country. With all due respect, he needs to quit listening to the dynamic duo – Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi – and start paying attention to the base that put him back in the White House to fix this swamp.
Today’s show is a real gut-punch, and I’m fired up because we’ve got a lot to unpack, especially around this Epstein mess that’s blowing up everywhere. Twitter’s a mess right now, and some of you might not even be seeing this because the algorithm’s doing its thing, but we’re pushing through. For those on Facebook, Rumble, or elsewhere, thanks for sticking with me. This is a critical moment, and I’m not holding back on what’s happening with President Trump and his team, because frankly, it’s a disaster that needs to be called out.
Let’s get right to the heart of it. President Trump posted on Truth Social, calling the Epstein case a hoax pushed by the radical left Democrats, and he’s out here saying his strongest supporters, like me, aren’t real supporters if we’re questioning this. Look, I’ve been all-in for Trump, traveling the country, doing rallies, spending my own money to get him elected, but I’m not part of a cult. I’m not going to just nod along when I see something wrong. This Epstein situation has been mishandled from the start, and it’s on Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi, Trump’s inner circle. Wiles, with her ties to shady groups like Ballard Partners and Mercury LLC, and Bondi, who was Florida AG during Epstein’s crimes and did nothing, are steering this ship into a PR nightmare. Trump’s calling this a hoax, but he himself said in 2019 that Epstein was trafficking underage girls at Mar-a-Lago. So what’s the deal, Mr. President? Are we supposed to ignore 30 years of evidence, convictions, and Ghislaine Maxwell sitting in jail for trafficking minors? I’m not buying it, and neither should you.
This isn’t just about Epstein; it’s about equal justice under the law, a core MAGA principle. We’re not okay with rich elites getting a pass for heinous crimes while the DOJ under Bondi hasn’t arrested a single big-name Democrat. I’m calling it like I see it: Trump’s being fed bad advice, just like he was with COVID and Operation Warp Speed. The Yale study I mentioned shows spike proteins lingering in vaccinated people’s bodies 709 days post-vax, proving we were lied to about mRNA vaccines. Yet Trump’s still pushing them, even approving them for kids. I’m not here to tear him down; I support his trade deals, tariffs, and economic wins, but I can’t stay silent when he’s gaslighting us on Epstein or vaccines. We need transparency, investigations into who’s manipulating evidence, and accountability for those protecting pedophiles. If Trump doesn’t pivot, he’s risking the midterms and his own legacy. We love you, Mr. President, but you’re wrong on this, and we’re not shutting up.
Trump’s Changing Relationship with Epstein: Quotes Over the Years
Donald Trump quote, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years, terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. He even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do. And many of them are on the younger side, no doubt about it. Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” That’s 2002. Now that’s before everybody realized that he was a pedophile, even though it’s been talked about since 1994, arguably. Uh, 2019, Donald Trump says, “I had a falling out with him. I haven’t spoken to him in 15 years. I was not a fan of his. That I can tell you.” I believe that fully. Once I found out that this guy was trafficking kids, because a lot of people liked, the story is that amongst the elites, a lot of people liked Epstein. They didn’t really know what he was doing. They didn’t really care what he was doing. But he apparently was a likable child trafficker, I guess. I don’t know. So Trump liked him, and then when Trump found out what he was doing, he said, get the hell away from me, which is good. I believe that. And I know Donald Trump, I don’t for a second believe that Donald Trump did anything wrong with Epstein stuff. Not for a second. I think he’s doing wrong with the investigation, but I don’t think he did anything. I don’t think he’s part of the list or anything like that. In 2019, this is during Trump’s first administration, by the way, he’s talking about Epstein and Mar-a-Lago. He said, I threw him out. He tried to take recruit from me, a girl that was not of age that worked at the club. He was doing stuff he shouldn’t be doing. 2019, Trump said this. Trump said that Epstein was pulling girls that were not of age. Trump said it. In 2019, folks, did he forget?
Trump’s Changing Relationship with Epstein: Quotes Over the Years
Donald Trump quote, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years, terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. He even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do. And many of them are on the younger side, no doubt about it. Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” That’s 2002. Now that’s before everybody realized that he was a pedophile, even though it’s been talked about since 1994, arguably. Uh, 2019, Donald Trump says, “I had a falling out with him. I haven’t spoken to him in 15 years. I was not a fan of his. That I can tell you.” I believe that fully.

Campus Riots Made a Generation of Jewish Students Abandon the Left by Daniel Greenfield
Jewish Ivy League students who identify as “very liberal” fell from 40% to 13%.
July 20, 2025
Ivy League college campuses are some of the most leftist places in the country. The pro-Hamas campus riots radicalized the next generation of leaders into supporting Islamic terrorism, they terrorized Jewish students and in the process, transformed their politics.
When the encampments went up on elite campuses, Jewish students abandoned the far left in droves. The share of Jewish Ivy League students who identify as “very liberal” on a 7-point ideology scale declined from 40% before the encampments to 13% after they appeared. The proportion of “strong Democrats” tanked from 37% to 14% while the Republican share rose from 12% to 18%. Ivy League Jews went from being well to the left of the median Ivy League student to leaning right of the average.
Speaking anecdotally, I’ve seen a political shift among young secular Jewish Ivy League professionals from knee-jerk liberalism to much less enthusiasm for the movement and more openness to Trump. They’re not about to become Republicans, but based on the FIRE surveys quoted here, they are moving away from the Left.
The drop in affinity for the Left is massive and portends a generational shift.
Far too many Jews instinctively felt that they had a natural home on the left. They no longer do.

The Paradox of the Jewish State: Machiavelli’s Shadow and Zionism’s Secular Betrayal By Mordechai Sones
Zionism was intended as a replacement theology—not for Christianity, but for Judaism
July 20, 2025
In the heart of the Middle East, where ancient prophecies trump modern geopolitics, the State of Israel stands as a beacon of contradiction. Founded in 1948 amid the ashes of the Holocaust and the fervor of nationalist dreams, Israel proclaims itself a Jewish and democratic state—a fusion of religious heritage and Enlightenment ideals.
Yet, as serious commentators increasingly question its Jewish essence, deny its democratic credentials, and even doubt its sovereignty, a deeper philosophical rift emerges. Drawing from the roots of modern statecraft in Niccolò Machiavelli’s vision, where the state is an artifact of human will unbound by divine mandate, Israel’s very existence as a “Jewish State” reveals itself as an inherent paradox. This is not merely academic musing; it carries profound consequences for Jewish identity, global alliances, and the future of a people long defined by their covenant with the divine.
Machiavelli, the Florentine thinker whose 16th-century treatise “The Prince” birthed the modern concept of the state, envisioned governance as a realm of pure human autonomy. For him, the state derives its laws not from eternal truths or sacred texts but from the pragmatic exercise of power—the will of rulers to maintain order, conquer foes, and secure loyalty through fear or love as circumstances demand. This secular blueprint, divorced from theological oversight, underpins the nation-states of Europe that rose in his wake. Laws become instruments of human ambition, mutable and strategic, rather than reflections of divine will.
To graft “Jewish” onto such a framework is to invite contradiction: Judaism, rooted in the Torah’s immutable commandments, posits a sovereignty that bows to the Creator, not man. A truly Jewish polity would derive its legitimacy from halacha—Jewish law—rather than the autonomous will Machiavelli champions. Israel’s Zionist founders, however, borrowed from gentile Europe’s territorial nationalism, crafting a state that mimics the very systems that historically oppressed Jews, thereby supplanting Judaism with a “normalized” national identity.
This Zionist project, spearheaded by figures like Theodor Herzl, was never about restoring biblical sovereignty but about assimilating Jews into the gentile mold of nationhood. Herzl’s vision in Der Judenstaat imagined a Jewish homeland as a secular republic, inspired by European models, where Jews could escape antisemitism by becoming “a nation like all others.”
This territorial nationalism, devoid of Torah-centric governance, aimed to redefine Jewishness itself: no longer a people bound by mitzvot and exile’s spiritual refinement, but citizens of a flag-waving state, complete with armies, borders, and parliaments. As such, Zionism was intended as a replacement theology—not for Christianity, but for Judaism. By prioritizing land and power over covenant, it promised to make Jews “normal,” shedding the exceptionalism that had sustained them through millennia of diaspora.
The result? A state where Jewish symbols adorn institutions that operate on Machiavellian principles of human will, rendering the “Jewish State” an oxymoron. Israel’s laws, shaped by Knesset debates and international pressures rather than rabbinic authority, embody this secular autonomy, alienating the very religious core they claim to protect.
The cracks in this facade are widening, as evidenced by Israel’s fraught relationship with its self-proclaimed identities. Calling Israel a Jewish and democratic state has grown increasingly problematic, with commentators dissecting its failures on all fronts.
On sovereignty, Israel’s independence is illusory, tethered to alliances that undermine its autonomy. Its reliance on U.S. military aid—billions annually—creates a web of dependencies that constrain decision-making, often at the cost of lives. Historical concessions, from the 1979 Sinai withdrawal to the 2005 Gaza disengagement, were made under American pressure, preserving the aid flow while eroding territorial integrity. This dynamic echoes Machiavelli’s counsel on alliances: useful for power, but risky when they dictate terms. Israel’s elite—defense contractors, ex-generals, lobbyists—benefit from this system, sustaining a patronage network that prioritizes foreign leverage over national will. Such dependencies beg the question: Is Israel truly a sovereign state, or merely a client in a larger geopolitical game?
Democracy, too, falters under scrutiny. Modern democracy, including Israel’s variant, often presents an “illusion of choice,” where voters are funneled into preordained outcomes like spectators in a magician’s act. Political action committees, media endorsements, and party machinations curate candidates, narrowing the spectrum to binary options that mask deeper control. In Israel, this manifests in a fragmented Knesset system, where coalition horse-trading overrides public will, fostering corruption and impunity.
The absence of a formal constitution exacerbates this, leaving governance adrift without safeguards for rights or identity. Critics argue that Israel’s democracy is performative, manipulating fear and hope—especially in times of crisis—to maintain the status quo. If democracy requires genuine autonomy of the electorate, Israel’s version, entangled in partisan theatrics and external influences, falls short, further distancing it from any claim to democratic purity.
Compounding these issues is Israel’s entanglement in a emerging global order of three totalitarian superstates: a Western NATO bloc, a Chinese sphere, and an Islamic alliance, each vying for dominance through undeclared wars and technological leverage. Israel sits precariously at this triad’s nexus, its geography and innovations making it a prized yet expendable asset.
The Abraham Accords, touted as peace breakthroughs under Trump, are a strategic ploy to forestall Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria, paving the way for a binational entity subsumed into a Middle Eastern Union under Saudi oversight. This would dissolve Israel’s military and judicial independence, merging them with Palestinian counterparts in a supranational framework.
Even the October 7, 2023, massacre is not an intelligence lapse but as a manufactured crisis to harness Israeli resolve for external agendas, weaponizing patriotism to erode sovereignty. In Machiavelli’s terms, such manipulations exemplify the state’s reliance on deception and power plays, but in Israel’s case, they highlight how its Zionist foundation leaves it vulnerable to global managers who view it as a pawn, not a partner.
These critiques converge on a radical diagnosis: Israel’s current form is neither Jewish, democratic, nor fully state-like. Its Zionist origins, steeped in European nationalism, have supplanted the Torah with territorialism, diluting Jewish identity to a cultural footnote. To reclaim authenticity, some propose abolishing the Knesset—a body born without public ratification in 1949—and instituting a Jewish constitutional democracy.
This vision would restrict key branches to Jews versed in heritage and law, prioritizing halacha in adjudication and affirming the nation’s Jewish character. A bicameral legislature, a empowered president, and a rights-focused fourth branch would foster unity and dignity, excluding parties that negate Jewish primacy. Such a system acknowledges the Machiavellian state’s incompatibility with Judaism, urging a return to divine sovereignty over human will.
The consequences of recognizing this paradox are awesome and far-reaching. If the “Jewish State” is a contradiction, Zionism’s promise of normalization stands revealed as a spiritual abdication, prompting Jews to reconsider their allegiance to a secular edifice that “normalizes” them at the cost of their soul.
It could herald a messianic pivot, where Israel transforms from a gentile-inspired nation into a Torah-guided commonwealth, shedding dependencies and illusions for authentic self-rule. Globally, it challenges the Machiavellian legacy, questioning whether any state can endure without divine foundation. For Arab neighbors, it might open dialogues beyond nationalist zero-sums, rooted in justice rather than power.
But the path is fraught: ignoring this rift risks Israel’s erosion into irrelevance, a vassal in totalitarian tides. Yet, embracing it could fulfill the Zionist dream’s unintended prophecy—returning Jews not just to land, but to their covenant, making them exceptional once more. In an world of crumbling illusions, this reimagining might prove the ultimate act of will: choosing G-d over Machiavelli.
As debates intensify, from Jerusalem’s halls to Washington’s corridors, the question lingers: Can Israel survive as it is, or must it die to live anew?
The answer lies not in alliances or elections, but in reclaiming the autonomy that Judaism demands—one not of the human will alone, but aligned with the Eternal.
100% Chance of Nuclear War – Martin Armstrong [VIDEO 1:05:12] By Greg Hunter
July 19, 2025 USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Six weeks ago, legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was signaling a big turn toward war. Now, Armstrong says, “The chances of war with a nuclear exchange is at 100%. . .. Plan on it, this is coming.”
Can the world avoid nuclear war with President Trump’s 50-day deadline given to Russia to make peace in Ukraine? Armstrong says, “You do not threaten your adversary that is at your same level, publicly. If you want to say something like that, you do it privately in a phone call. Now, what will happen is Putin cannot possibly sign a peace deal. What, are you crazy . . . to do this in 50 days? We have staff in Germany, and I was told by my staff that a friend 60 years old was told to report to duty. I had a friend who was at the Viennia Peace Conference, and he called me when it was over and said, ‘Holy crap, this has nothing to do with peace anymore. This is all about preparing for war. Everybody should start getting ready for drafts, to start going that way.’ They want war. They are not backing off.”
Armstrong’s computer “Socrates” is signaling war as early as next month. Armstrong says, “Starting in August, this whole thing is going to be escalating up. Our computer has what we call a ‘Panic Cycle’ with our war cycles for 2026. That is not good. I don’t know what the hell Trump is smoking. . .. My computer has been projecting war, and it is projecting war going into 2026. This is not looking good, and Europe will lose. It is as simple as that.”
The other big event that happened that will change the economic system forever is the House just passed the so-called GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins). The bill is now headed to President Trump to sign into law. Armstrong contends that US debt is being sold by big holders of Treasuries, and we have to find a new market for our huge Treasury debt or we default. Treasury bonds will supposedly backstop stablecoins that the banks will control. Armstrong says, “This is really a repeat of 1863. In the Civil War, they issued national bank notes. The banks were told to buy the bonds. They could buy bonds to fund the war, and they were allowed to issue currency backed by the bonds. This is the same exact thing. These stablecoins are the same thing as the 1863 National Bank Act.”
Stablecoins and the GENIUS Act are not good news for financial freedom or any other kind of civil liberty. Armstrong says, “The government will say we don’t like this guy, debank him. The government cannot do it directly. So, they indirectly do it the other way. . .. I know guys that are gun dealers and bullion dealers, and they have been debanked. This is the world we are going into. They know they are losing power. Europe is far worse. Spain now says you cannot take out $3,000 without government permission. They are trying to eliminate cash. . .. The forms of government we have today are going to collapse. Republics are the most corrupt form of government — period.”
There is more in the 65-minute interview.
