WELL, THAT’S HISTORIC, ALL RIGHT: ‘Historic’ Biden Judicial Nominee Sits on Board of Group Founded by Cop-Killing Domestic Terrorist.

President Joe Biden’s latest judicial nominee, whom the White House is hailing as “historic” due to his Muslim faith, serves on the advisory board of a left-wing group with extensive ties to convicted cop killers, the Washington Free Beacon has found.

Adeel Abdullah Mangi, whom Biden tapped to serve on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, is an advisory board member of Alliance of Families for Justice. The organization, which works to end “mass incarceration,” was formed in 2016 with Weather Underground member Kathy Boudin as a founding director. Boudin pleaded guilty to the murder of two police officers and a security guard during an armored truck robbery in 1981. The FBI named Weather Underground a domestic terrorist organization following a string of bombings and robberies in the 1970s and ‘80s.

The Alliance of Families for Justice, where Mangi has served since 2019, organized an event in 2021 to urge the release of six Black Panther and Black Liberation Army members serving life in prison for murdering police officers. The Alliance referred to the cop killers—including Black Panther members Mumia Abu-Jamal, H. Rap Brown, and others—as “freedom fighters” and claimed they were illegally targeted by the FBI.

Mangi’s affiliation with the radical group could spell trouble for his nomination, which Senate Democrats cheered as a “historic” “milestone” during his confirmation hearing Wednesday. Mangi, who works in private practice, would be the first Muslim to serve on the federal appeals court.

His position on the Alliance of Families for Justice board could also present a conflict of interest, which was not discussed at Wednesday’s hearing. The Third Circuit has heard appeals brought by Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of murdering a Philadelphia police officer in 1981. The court overturned Abu-Jamal’s death sentence in 2011.

The Alliance of Families for Justice is not the only radical group on Mangi’s resume. He served until this year on the advisory board for Rutgers Law School’s Center for Race, Security, and Rights, an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts against Israel and recently blamed Israel’s “settler colonialism” for provoking Hamas terrorists’ Oct. 7 attack. The Center hosted an event on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 that featured Sami al-Arian, a former professor convicted of raising money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.

MY ‘REAL TIME’ WITH BILL MAHER AND THE ‘NEW’ CAMPUS FREE SPEECH CRISIS. Includes clips from my appearance on Bill Maher’s show last week, along with why telling antisemites to only talk to other antisemites and thinking it will make things better is a really dumb idea.

JOHN LUCAS: The Self-Described “Subversive” Dance Group the Bidens Invited to the White House.

I was prompted by a comment from one of my subscribers to do a little research into Dorrance Dance, the dance company featured in the White House performance. What I found was a surprise, although perhaps it should not have been.

I learned that the Dorrance Dance is not just another entertainment group that happens to specialize in tap dancing. Rather, it is an ultra-radical political organization that designs and intends its performances to be “subversive.” The company’s statements and recommendations on its website provide the context that explains what it means when it says that its dancing is meant to be “subversive.” I summarize this below.

Shocker.

FROM NATHAN C. BRINDLE: A Fox in the Henhouse (Timelines Universe Book 2).

#CommissionEarned

Delaney Wolff Fox is a spy. A cute spy. A deadly spy. A spy you want at your back when stuff gets real. From a palatial office in Johannesburg, to a fancy whisky bar in Sydney, Australia, to a beautiful private beach in southwest Florida, to the great and wild city of New Orleans, Captain Delaney Fox, United States Space Force Marines (Intelligence Division) finds herself beset by assassins at every turn, while first saving an alien government’s valuable artifact from the South African cartel that’s stolen it, and then being assigned to guard said artifact while it completes a world tour, on loan from that same alien government. But like the proverbial fox in the proverbial henhouse, you can count on Delaney to complete the mission and come out with the prize, intact and in hand – even if the “farmer” isn’t all that keen about her doing so.

WALL OF WATER: Gigantic Wave in Pacific Ocean Was Most Extreme ‘Rogue Wave’ on Record. “Such an exceptional event is thought to occur only once every 1,300 years. And unless the buoy had been taken for a ride, we might never have known it even happened. For centuries, rogue waves were considered nothing but nautical folklore. It wasn’t until 1995 that myth became fact. On the first day of the new year, a nearly 26-meter-high wave (85 feet) suddenly struck an oil-drilling platform roughly 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the coast of Norway. At the time, the so-called Draupner wave defied all previous models scientists had put together.”

Note that by “most extreme” they’re referring to height relative to the other waves going on, not absolute height. That difference is what constitutes its rogueness.
