DID MIKE SLING NANCY DOWN THE STAIRCASE?

By Howie Katz

 

Nancy Pelosi is seen in a portrait taken hours before she fell down a marble staircase


84-year-old California Democrat Nancy Pelosi was in Luxembourg on Friday with a bipartisan congressional delegation to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. 

Pelosi was pictured gripping the hand of Texas Republican Michael McCaul on the grand marble staircase at the Grand Duke's palace. Suddenly she tumbled down the steps and suffered a serious hip injury that will require surgery.

Being the good Texas Republican that he is, I suspect that Mike took Nancy's hand so he could sling her down the staircase.

FOND MEMORIES WITH BILLY GRAHAM

By Howie Katz

 


Evangelist Billy Graham

 

Billy Graham took me to an Irish wake one evening during the 1950s when I was in New York. There were at least 30 people crammed into the apartment when Billy and I arrived. It was about this time of the year, so everyone, including Billy and me, piled their overcoats on a bed in the apartment.

Everyone, including the bereaved, was having a good time. There was plenty of good food and Irish whiskey and beer to go around.

Billy decided we would leave while most of the wake guests were still there. When we went into the bedroom, I had trouble finding my trench coat which got buried within the big pile of coats. Billy, who found his coat, grew impatient and told me, "Just pick any good coat, Howie, and let's go." I did find my coat before we left.

Oh, if you're wondering, that was Billy Graham the boxer, not Billy Graham the evangelist.

I couldn't resist putting a picture of the evangelist at the head of this post. And that trench coat is still hanging in my closet, although the moths have gotten the best of it.

THE REAL CRIMINALS IN THE DANIEL PENNY CASE

By Howie Katz

 

Now that a jury has vindicated Daniel Penny, I want to point out what crime was really committed and who the real criminals are in his case.
 
The only crime that was committed in the death of Jordan Neely was the malicious prosecution of Daniel Penny. 

Penny would never have been charged in Neely's death had Neely been white,

And the real criminals in this case are Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran and New York Black Lives Matter leader  Hawk Newsome.

Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran repeated the possibility that Penny may not get prison time if he's found guilty. The DA's office has been asking journalists to update their stories throughout the trial to reflect that fact

Hawk Newsome of Black Lives

Bragg should never have charged Penny with any crime. In a city notorious for bystanders not lifting a finger to come to the aid of a victim being physically assaulted by someone, Penny stepped forth to subdue Jordan Neely who was threatening subway passengers. Penny had no intention of harming Neely, but unfortunately he died in the struggle. Bragg caved in to a mob of protesters demanding 'Justice for Jordan Neely'.

Yoran, who prosecuted Penny, went the extra mile to secure a conviction that could send a true hero to prison. If she had any decency, she would have refused to prosecute Penny.

Newsome flat out threatened Penny. He publicly declared that "We need some black vigilantes ...  people want to jump up and choke us and kill us... How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?" As Maureen Callahan said, "He should have been arrested on the spot."

Penny is the victim of a malicious prosecution and threats against his life. Bragg, Yoran and Newsome wanted Penny to be imprisoned, but it is they who should be prosecuted and incarcerated in prison.

And then there are the authorities who allowed Neely, a nutjob with a criminal history of more than 40 arrests, to roam free around the streets and subways of New York.

Judge Jeanine was spot on when she called Daniel Penny "A true hero in every sense of the word."

TODAY IS PEARL HARBOR DAY

By Howie Katz


The devastation of the USS Arizona during the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.
 

83 years ago on Sunday, December 7, 1941, the Japs conducted a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor with 353 warplanes. 
 
They damaged or sunk all of the eight U.S. Navy battleships anchored there, as well as three cruisers and three destroyers. 2,400 members of our military lost their lives.
 
Fortunately for us, and to the detriment of Japan, our aircraft carriers were out at sea.
 
President Franklin D. Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 "a date which will live in infamy."

We should never forget!

ARREST BRAGG AND YORAN FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION

By Howie Katz

As Meghan McCain said, "Daniel Penny did nothing wrong, you lunatics."

Daniel Penny is thee victim of malicious prosecution. In a city notorious for bystanders not lifting a finger to come to the aid of a victim being physically assaulted by someone, Penny stepped forth to subdue Jordan Neely who was threatening subway passengers. Penny had no intention of killing Neely, but unfortunately he died in the struggle.

The only reason DA Alvin Bragg filed charges against Penny was because protesters filled the street with 'Justice for Jordan Neely' signs. Had Neely been white, there would have been no protests and no charges would have been filed against Penny.

 

Protesters at Washington Square Park on Friday.

During the trial, prosecutor Dafna Yoran went the extra mile to secure a conviction that could send a true hero to prison. If she had any decency, she would have refused to prosecute Penny.

Penny is simply the victim of malicious prosecution for which Bragg and Yoran ought to be arrested. It's Bragg and Yoran who should be imprisoned, not Daniel Penny.

WILL MUSHROOM CLOUDS BE JOE BIDEN'S LEGACY?

By Howie Katz


JPMorgan CEO Claims World War III Has Begun — Warns of 'Evil Axis' at Work


Joe Biden has given the Ukraine a green light to fire U.S.-supplied long-range missiles into Russia. The Ukraine promptly started firing those missiles at Russia's Kursk region.

Putin immediately made changes to laws that will  allow Russia to launch a nuclear attack in response to a conventional weapons strike.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Ukraine's use of the long-range missiles an escalation and said Russia would respond accordingly.

But the most dire response came from Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council. Medvedev, the former Russian Prime Minister, said Biden's approval for the long-range missile use by the Ukraine against Russia meant "World War III".

 

 world war 3.jpg

 

 

If Russia does use nuclear weapons against the Ukraine, Joe Biden's last act before leaving office will likely be to unleash a nuclear strike on Russia. Thatwill result in a full-scale nuclear war involving the U.S. Russia, NATO, China, North Korea and possibly India and Pakistan as well.  

There will be mushroom clouds over much of the world. And that will be Joe Biden's legacy.

THE BEST FIGHT TOOK PLACE IN THE STANDS

By Howie Katz

 

 

Two fans slug it out in the best fight during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout

 

Friday night's fight between 58-year-old former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson and 27-year-old Jake Paul was boring because Paul did not want to o inflict any unnecessary pain on old Iron Mike who landed only 18 punches during the entire fight. Paul landed 78 punches as he won by a unanimous decision.

The 8-round bout took place before a packed house of 70,00 spectators in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Two fans slugged it out in the stands. That turned out to be the best fight during the bout between Jake Paul and rusty Iron Mike.


The hardest punch landed by Tyson was the night before the fight when he slapped Paul after the weigh-in

Tyson, 58, was unable to keep pace with his younger opponent and landed only 18 punches

Tyson landed only 18 punches during the entire 8-round bout 

 

The hardest punch landed by Tyson was the night before the fight when he slapped Paul after the weigh-in.

The fight was also streamed by Netflix to 65 million viewers. The quality of the streaming was very poor. A number of outraged viewers said they were cancelling their subscription to Netflix.

 

But some fans hailed ring girl Sydney Thomas as the real star of the show at AT&T Stadium

Fans declared that ring girl Sydney Thomas was the real winner of the Paul-Tyson bout
 
This was Tyson's first fight in 19 years. Rusty Iron Mike should have stayed home. The fight was so boring that it caused fans to declare that ring girl Sydney Thomas was the real winner of the bout.
 
The 70,000 fans in the stadium and the 65 million Netflix viewers paid to see a knockdown brawl like the three Rocky Graziano-Tony Zale fights, but what they got was a sleeper instead. It's a shame that only a few of the fans got to see the slugfest in the stands.

AFTER MAKING SOME GOOD CABINET PICKS, TRUMP SCRAPED THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL WITH MATT GAETZ AND RFK JR

By Howie Katz

 

Republican U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz speaks at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in Henderson, Nevada on October 31 2024

Matt Gaetz 

 
After making some good choices for his cabinet, the president-elect scraped the bottom of the barrel with Matt Gaetz and RFK Jr., their only qualification is being fiercely supportive of Trump.

Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton had this to say about Trumps pick of Matt Gaets to be Attorney General:

“Well, it must be the worst nomination for a cabinet position in American history. Gaetz is not only totally incompetent for this job, he doesn’t have the character. He is a person of moral turpitude, and notwithstanding how difficult it may be politically, this is a nomination the Republican Party should oppose.”

I would add that Gaetz is no friend of the Jewish people. He has called the Anti Defamation League (ADL) a racist organization. And he invited Holocaust denier Charles Johnson to the State of the Union address. Johnson does not believe the Nazis exterminated six million Jews and claims instead that only 250,000 Jews had died of illness. Gaetz has also endorsed the anti-Semitic mantra that Jews killed Jesus.

Trump's choice of RFK Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services is just as bad as his pick of Gantz

 

The 70-year-old Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a picture of himself shirtless during his 2024 independent presidential campaign, trying to prove that he was the pinnacle of health without using vaccines

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

 

RFK Jr. has been a vocal critic of childhood immunizations. He is opposed to the Covid vaccine. He wants to remove fluoride from our water systems. And he has promised to fire every nutritional scientist in the health and agriculture departments on day one of the Trump presidency.

Gaetz's nomination may not be approved by the Senate, but Trump can still appoint him as Attorney General during a Senate recess.

While loyalty to Trump is important it should never trump what's good for our country. Gaetz and RFK Jr. are most definitely not good for our country.

TODAY IS VETERANS DAY .... TRUMP SHOULD STAY OUT OF SIGHT

By Howie Katz


The US military cemetery at St. Laurent-sur-Mer, Normandy, France

The Normandy American Cemetery, near Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, containing the graves of 9,386 dead American soldiers


November 11 is a day our country is supposed to honor those Americans who served in our armed forces, especially those who served during a time of war. 
 
On this day, Donald Trump should stay out of sight,

Trump is a not only a Vietnam war draft dodger, but he has dishonored those who lost their lives or were taken captives while fighting for our country.
 
During the Vietnam war, which lasted from 1957 to 1975, more than 58,000 U.S. military personnel lost their lives and more than 300,000 were wounded in combat. Trump's father made sure his son Donald would not be among them.
 
Trump's multi-millionaire daddy paid some sorry-ass doctor to make up a fake bone spur diagnosis that would give Donald a medical deferment from the draft.
 
That 'bone spur' did not keep Trump from traversing golf courses during a time when golfers still walked from hole to hole instead of riding in a golf cart. 
 
Worse yet, the draft dodger dishonored true war hero Joh McCain for being captured by the North Vietnamese. 

McCain was a fighter pilot during the Vietnam war. In October 1967, he was shot down over Hanoi and captured by the North Vietnamese while seriously wounded. 


This is an undated file photo of Sen. John McCain, lying injured as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. It was among 4,000 photos and documents given to a U.S. delegation by Hanoi. McCain was a U.S. Navy pilot downed in Vietnam in 1967. 
John McCain lying injured as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
 
 
McCain was a prisoner of war until 1973. During that time he was tortured by his captors. The North Vietnamese wanted to release him early for propaganda purposes because both his father and grandfather were U.S. Navy admirals, but McCain refused to be freed out of turn.
 
On July 18, 2015, Trump said this about John McCain: "He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured." 
 
Had McCain been killed when his plane was shot down, Trump still would not have considered him a hero.  

In 2018, according to members of his staff, Trump did not visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris because, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers." They also claimed Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood during WWI as "suckers" for getting killed.
 
Those U.S. troops who died, were wounded or taken prisoner while fighting for our country are true heroes ... Trump is a true asshole.

When I cast my ballot for Trump, I did not vote for hm, I voted against Kamala Harris.

I AM SORELY DISAPPOINTED

By Howie Katz

Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo
 
During Trump's presidency, UN ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were two of the most competent and effective members of his administration.

Both Haley and Pompeo supported Trump in his bid for reelection, but both rightly criticized some of the things he said during the campaign.

It has been announced that neither Haley nor Pompeo will be part of the Trump administration. That is obviously payback for their criticism and it's damn petty of the president-elect.
 
I am sorely disappointed.

GOOD NEWS, REALLY VERY GOOD NEWS: I WAS WRONG! I WAS WRONG! I WAS WRONG!!

By Howie Katz

 

Trump strode on to the stage at around 2.30am (ET), stern-faced and somber, the weight of history upon him.

The President-elect, Melania and Barron celebrate his victory at the Palm Beach County Convention Center

 

On October 8, 2024, I predicted that on January 20, 2025, Kamala Harris would be sworn in as our new president.

I am very happy to admit that I was wrong, dead wrong!

As of noon Texas time, Trump had  292 electoral votes. He needed 270 to win. Trump also won the popular vote.

By noon, the Republicans were also sweeping both houses of Congress, 52-43 in the Senate and 201-184 in the House. 

Kamala Harris was unable to word salad her way into the White House. Her 'chicken in every pot' promise did not work. Neither did her screeching on women's reproductive rights. 

What won it for Trump? Let me quote what Jim Carville said in 1992: "It's the economy, stupid."

At his rallies, Trump asked, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"  To America's workers the obvious answer was "no". The economy was by far the top issue, followed by illegal immigration and abortion.

 

 

Kamala Harris was unable to word salad her way into the White House. 

 

Barack Obama's campaigning for Harris did not help her and now he won't be serving his fourth term as president.

One of Trump's first acts as president should be to throw the Obama-holdovers out of the government, especially those in the State Department.

Trump's victory is not just good for America, but it is also good for Israel. Although he and Netanyahu have grown apart, Trump will never threaten Israel with an arms embargo like the Biden-Harris administration has done.

I'm a happy camper now and I'm very glad that I was wrong in predicting a Harris wi

TED CRUZ APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REELECTED TO THE US SENATE

By Howie Katz

 

 


With 87.4 percent of the Texas vote counted, Senator Ted Cruz had an insurmountable lead of one million votes over his Democratic challenger Congressman Colin Allred.

Allred received millions of out-of-state dollars for his campaign, but that did not lead to the victory the Democrats hoped for.

Cruz's reelection is not only good for Texas and the United States, but it is also good for Israel. Cruz has been a longtime good friend and strong supporter of the Jewish state.

At this writing, Trump appears to be headed for a win. Even though Trump is a lunatic, I hope he will end up defeating dumbass Harris. It's far better for the country to have a lunatic than a dumbass in the White House.

IT SEEMS THAT TRUMP IS TRYING TO UNSEAT KAMALA HARRIS AS THE DUMBEST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT EVER

By Howie Katz 

 

Donald Trump went on a profanity-laden attack against some of his rivals as he spoke with Tucker Carlson just days before the election
Donald Trump was interviewed by Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona Thursday evening

 

On October 29 I said that Kamala Harris has got to be the dumbest candidate ever for president, but I may have spoken too soon. It seems that Trump is trying to unseat her.

Trump sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona on Thursday evening. and here is what Trump said abut Liz Cheney, the former Republican congresswoman who has been campaigning for Kamala Harris.

"Let's put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

It's almost impossible to conceive of how any sane candidate would ever say something like that abut an election opponent, but Trump said it about Cheney.

Trump is either not of sound mind or he is trying to get Kamala elected.

Harris was quick to say that his Liz Cheney comments should "disqualify" Trump of being president, and she's right.

Arizona's Democratic attorney general has opened an investigation into whether Trump's insane remark constitutes a death threat.

If Trump is not the dumbest candidate ever for president, he certainly is the craziest. 

On Tuesday, Americans will elect either a dumbass or a lunatic, neither one of which is fit to be president of the United States.

God help America!

A JOKE MAY HAVE COST TRUMP PENNSYLVANIA

By Howie Katz

 

Tony Hinchcliffe 

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Donald Trump's campaign rally in Madison Square Garden on October 27, 2024

 

Tony Hinchcliffe is a comedian few Americans ever heard of. But he was the first speaker before a packed house of 20,000 Trump supporters in the Madison Square Garden rally on October 27, 2024. And here is one of his jokes.

“I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

That infuriated Puerto Ricans, as it well should have. Harris and Barack Obama, as well as Puerto Rican celebrities Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, soundly condemned the joke.

But not to worry. The people of Puerto Rico cannot vote in the presidential election. So, that joke can't hurt Trump.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

While those living on the island cannot vote in our elections, the Puerto Ricans living in the U.S. can. 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 470,000 Puerto Ricans live in Pennsylvania, a swing state that Trump absolutely has to win.

Let's say that only half of Pennsylvania's Puerto Ricans are eligible to vote. That amounts to more than 200,00 voters. And if half of those eligible voters cast their ballots for Harris, that may be enough to cost Trump this vital swing state.

And there are 132,000 Puerto Ricans in North Carolina and 124,000 in Georgia. In a race that is a toss-up, those Puerto Ricans could cost Trump the swing states of North Carolina and Georgia as well.

Trump should have soundly apologized to the Puerto Ricans. But Trump never apologizes. Instead, he responded to the condemnations by calling his MSG rally a lovefest”. 

Personally, I saw absolutely nothing funny in Hinchcliffe's joke. And it's not funny either if that joke causes dumbass Harris to become president.

KAMALA HARRIS HAS GOT TO BE THE DUMBEST CANDIDATE EVER FOR PRESIDENT

By Howie Katz 


a woman in a black dress is sitting in a chair making a gesture

“I talked with somebody once who said, ‘You know, if you just look at, where the stars are in the sky. Don’t look [at] ’em as just random things, if you just look at ’em as points.’ Look at the constellation — what does it show you?

 

Kamala Harris has got to be the dumbest candidate ever for president, yet she has a good chance of being elected. 

If America's voters cast their ballots intelligently, Harris wouldn't stand a chance. But many voters choose a candidate because he/she was endorsed by a celebrity.

Take Taylor Swift for example. According to a 2023 survey by Morning Consult, in the U.S., 53% of adults said they were fans of Swift, of whom 44% identified as Swifties and 16% as her "avid" fans.

You can bet that those who are avid fans of Taylor Swift will vote for Harris because she endorsed her. And many of the Swifties will vote for Harris for the same reason. That amounts to an enormous number of voters.

 


Kamala Harris, Queen of Word Salads

 

Harris spews out word salads to cover up her ignorance when questioned  about issues.

“I talked with somebody once who said, ‘You know, if you just look at, where the stars are in the sky. Don’t look [at] ’em as just random things, if you just look at ’em as points.’ Look at the constellation — what does it show you?,” was her response to a question about crime in black neighborhoods.

How about her answer when asked about Netanyahu's actions that are opposed by President Biden: “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”

And here is another Harris jewel: “You know, when we talk about our children — I know for this group, we all believe that when we talk about the children of the community, they are a children of the community.” Well, at least Kamala knows that children of the community are children of the community.

Of course, Harris is getting lots of help from Trump himself with some of the stupid things he says and from his persistent use of personal insults. Thus, Harris uses Trumps own words against him at every one of her campaign rallies.

As I said, if America's voters cast their ballots intelligently, Harris wouldn't stand a chance. But those voters have proven time and time again that they do not vote intelligently.

If this uber-dumbass does become president, she can thank Taylor Swift, and especially Donald Trump, whose big mouth will have snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

I VOTED TODAY

By Howie Katz


Photo of Ted Cruz next to a photo of Donald Trump

Sen. Ted Cruz and former President Trump 

 

I took advantage of early voting and cast my ballot today.

I held my nose as I voted for Trump. My vote was more a vote against Kamala Harris than a vote for Trump.

I also voted for Sen. Ted Cruz. Polls show he is in a tight race with his uber-left Democratic opponent. God, I hope Cruz is reelected.

I voted for the Republican candidates for congress, the state legislature and state-wide offices.

The Texas ballot is what is known as a 'jungle ballot', one with far too many candidates. The overwhelming number of candidates were those seeking election as judges. In Texas judges run either as Democrats or Republicans. I do not vote for judges because I am opposed to partisan elections of judges.

I did vote for one Democrat and that was Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. He's done a good job and I saw no reason for a change in office just because he happens to be a Democrat.

Unfortunately Harris County is a Democratic stronghold. The only Republicans that will be elected are those that represent Republican districts.  

Considering my age, this is probably the last presidential election that I'll have the opportunity to vote in.

THE MOUTH THAT KEEPS GIVING ... TO KAMALA HARRIS

By Howie Katz

 

donald trump is giving a speech in front of a microphone while wearing a suit and tie .

 

It simply amazes me how Trump can say some of the stupid things he comes up with. It appears that, like Biden, he is at times mentally unstable.

His latest saying is the crown jewel of absurdity. It concerns the January 6 insurrection.

During a Univision town hall on Wednesday, he was asked about the storming of the capitol by his supporters.

Trump responded by saying January 6 was a "day of love" when "nothing" was "done wrong."

 A day of love where nothing was done wrong? A mob of hundreds assaulted numerous police officers and broke into the Capitol by breaking windows and doors. This was clearly an insurrection and by no means a day of love.

A magician couldn't make a day of love out of assaulting cops and breaking into the Capitol.

This is just one of many examples of the mouth that keeps giving to Kamala Harris.

As Michael Goodwin wrote in the New York Post: "Day after day, he calls opponents and critics dumb, stupid, lunatics, crazy and idiots." Goodwin says that Trump would be heading toward a landslide if he were not alienating large numbers of people by his use of nasty, childish insults.

All that aside, a half-baked Trump is still a far better choice than an uber-left Kamala.

'WORD SALAD' EXPLAINED

By Howie Katz


CBS News is facing immense backlash after the network edited a 'word salad' answer from Harris in her 60 Minutes interview in order to allegedly portray her more positively


“Well, Bill … the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”

Say what?!

That was Kamala's response with long pauses and hesitant wording when CBS 60 Minutes host Bill Whitaker noted that “it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening” to the Biden administration.

If you didn't know what is meant by “word salad”, her response explains it.

The Vice President appeared on 60 Minutes on October 7. CBS tried to save Kamala's ass by editing out her wording, wording that language experts would not be able to interpret. 

Kamala sounds good when speaking at campaign rallies, but when answering questions during interviews, what one often gets are unintelligible word salads.

TOMORROW IS COLUMBUS DAY .... NOT INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY

By Howie Katz

 

Christopher Columbus

                                                     Christopher Columbus


Columbus Day honors the courageous explorer who reached the Americas on Oct 12, 1492, a feat no one thought was possible because they believed the world was flat and that his three ships would fall off the edge of the earth.

Columbus Day is a national holiday that is dear to this country's Italian-Americans and should be dear to all Americans. 

Liberals in this country have long objected to Columbus Day because they blame him for the mistreatment of the Indians in the US and Latin America, something the explorer had nothing to do with.

The opponents of Columbus Day have come up with the preposterous name of Indigenous Peoples' Day. To liberals the name 'Indians' is a cardinal sin. 

The name change of Columbus Day would be laughable if it weren't so sad.

To me, it will always be Columbus Day. And that's the way it should be for all Americans.

NEITHER UNRWA, THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE OR UN CHIEF ANTONIO GUTERRES WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

Japan’s Nihon Hidankyo group is awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize

 

By Howie Katz 

 

The Hiroshima city hall after the bomb


UNRWA, The International Court of Justice (ICJ) and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres were among those nominated to receive the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. I consider those nominations as some kind of joke.

 

The prestige of the Nobel prize took a big hit when US President Barack Obama won it in 2009. No one has yet figured out what Obama did to receive the award. Some think it was because he became the first black to be elected president.


Nihon Hidankyo, which is the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, is a Japanese organization of US atomic bombing survivors that strives to abolish nuclear weapons.

 

The Nobel committee had the good sense not to award the prize to the Israel-hating UNRWA, ICJ and Guterres..

 

As for Guterres, earlier this month, Israel gave him the award he truly deserves: Persona non grata.

Monday, January 20, 2025 


With less than 30 days till the election, I am sorry to predict that on January 20, 2025, Kamala Harris will be sworn in as our new president.

Ther are several reasons for my dire prediction.

Kamala Harris has the crucial women's vote locked up because of the abortion issue.

She can count on the black and Jewish votes.

The leftist-indoctrinated college graduates will vote for Harris.

Harris is flooding the airwaves with feel-good and anti-Trump ads which Trump cannot match because he doesn't have near the campaign funds she has. 

The media is protecting Harris while reporting unfavorable stories about Trump.

And Trump, with his bigmouth, is helping to elect Harris. He hasn't stopped relying on conspiracy theories since he suggested people with Covid 19 ingest Lysol or Clorox. His latest outburst was that FEMA is running out of funds because it has spent them on migrant needs. That conspiracy theory started somewhere in the depth of social media.

To make matters worse, Harris will have both houses of congress controlled by Democrats.

If only the Republicans had nominated a better candidate like Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Mike Pompeo or better yet, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

America is headed for dark times. I hope to God I'm wrong.

NOTE: As I write this, the Daily Mail reports that Trump is ahead of Harris and increasing his lead.

I hope to God the Daily Mail is not wrong.

TONIGHT'S VP DEBATE

I call it a draw

 

By Howie Katz


Vice Presidential debate between Walz and Vance in New York

My take away from tonight's VP debate is that Harris supporters

in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests, he danced around the answer before saying that he was in China the Summer of 1989 and "misspoke." 

Vance continuously accused Harris of making policies that President Biden made.

Both men were good in defending their running mates. Walz did score a knockdown of sorts during their discussion of the January 6 insurrection. 

At one point Vance got into a real face-to-face debate with Walz, but the moderators quickly stopped them.

As in the Harris-Trump debate, moderators Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan were biased, this time against Vance. When he hit back at them for fact checking him, they cut his mic. 

I doubt this debate changed more than a handful of votes.

JUDGE ORDERS ONE OF TRUMP'S NEWS SOURCES DISSOLVED

A judge ordered that the assets of Infowars be auctioned off, effectively dissolving the conspiracy theory media platform

Alex Jones' Infowars will be auctioned off to help pay the nearly $1.5 billion he owes to the relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre

 

Alex Jones owes thr Sandy Hook families nearly $1.5 billion because of a judgement against him for calling the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax on Infowars.

Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston on September 24 ordered the auction to begin in November.

Sandy Hook families won nearly $1.5 billion in a 2022 lawsuit seeking damages for defamation and emotional distress.

Alex Jones did not take kindly to the billion dollar judgement against him 

 

Jones filed for bankruptcy after the judgement was rendered. 

Jones is hoping that some of his wealthy supporters will buy the Infowars assets so that he can continue to run the media plat form.

Former President Donald Trump is a fan of Infowars and has repeated some of Jones' conspiracy theories in the past.

Jones also claims the moonwalk was faked, saying it was staged on a Hollywood back lot. With the two Boeing astronauts stuck in space, that sounds logical to me.

AN EXPLAATION OF WHY MELANIA CONTINUES TO BE A NO-SHOW

Trump's squeeze helped him prepare for the debate ..... It must have been between the sheets

 

By Howie Katz 


Loomer has become a regular fixture at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home despite her outlandish views , and this week made racist comments about Trump's opponent Kamala Harris

That's not Melania, it's Trump's squeeze 

 

Laura Loomer is a conspiracy theorist who has worked as a reporter for Alex Jones's InfoWars. She has called 9/11 an "Inside Job."

Recently she made some vile racist comments about Kamala Harris which even got flaky Marjorie Taylor Greene to blast her. 

Loomer has been seen with Trump almost daily for the past several weeks, while Melania has been nowhere in sight.

The following pictures lead me to believe that what's going on between Trump and Loomer is more than just a friendship.

 

The former Miss Ohio called her a 'grifter and a liar, among other things'

In 2020, Loomer defeated five opponents to win the Republican primary in Florida's 21st Congressional District with 43 percent of the vote but lost the general election

 The far-right influencer tore into former -GOP National Spokesperson Madison Gesiotto Gilbert (pictured) after the former Miss Ohio denounced her as a racist on CNN

Last year, Trump reportedly asked his team to add Loomer to the campaign payroll and he was rebuffed

Earlier Friday, Trump said at a press conference that he's unaware of the controversy surrounding Loomer and said he doesn't control her

 ‘Laura is a supporter… she has very strong opinions… she’s a free spirit,’ Trump told reporters in Los Angeles.

Loomer is so far from even fringe Republicans that the likes of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has pushed her own conspiracy theories, have called her out as 'extremely racist' for her curry comment

Outrage among prominent Trump allies over Loomer's relationship with Trump is now exploding into public view


Loomer helped Trump prepare for the debate. Considering how that turned out, her help must have been between the sheets.

Trump visited the 9/11 memorial in New York City Wednesday to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks. Guess who accompanied Trump ... hint, it wasn't Melania.

 

Trump says Laura Loomer does not have a role in his campaign and disagrees with some of her recent statements but is grateful for her support as the MAGA Civil War over her presence rages


Loomer has worn a T-shirt that reads, "Donald Trump did nothing wrong!" I don't think Melania would agree with that.

Their relationship convinces me that Loomer is Trump's squeeze. And that would explain why Melania continues to be a no-show.
