YEP: Leftist Fury Boils Over as Democrats Lose Power, Seek Confrontation. “The Left’s base doesn’t want anything like the ‘triangulation’ of Democrats in the 1990s who co-opted some of the Right’s Reaganite message and held onto power in a more conservative era. It wants maximum confrontation. It wants to revive the feeling of revolution, of being on the right side of history. So, it is embracing almost cartoonish post-colonial socialists like New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a young millennial who proudly embraces virtually every bad leftist idea since the French Revolution. It is rallying behind a peak member of the Howard Zinn generation.”
Almost cartoonish?
JIM TREACHER: DC-Area Schoolkids Taught to Harass Jews and Admire Hitler.
That infamous alt-right rally in Charlottesville — you know, the idiots with tiki torches chanting, “Jews will not replace us” — was in August 2017. Almost eight years ago. Yet the Dems can’t shut up about it.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Virginia, children at a prestigious DC-area private school are being taught to harass Jews and admire Hitler. And if our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters on the left stay true to form, they’ll turn a blind eye to it.
Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon:
The prestigious Nysmith School in Northern Virginia received a civil rights complaint Tuesday for allegedly expelling three Jewish students who faced anti-Semitic harassment and whom the school’s headmaster told to “toughen up” after they reported the conduct.
The Nysmith School, known as one of the top 10 institutions in the country for students between kindergarten and eighth grade, allegedly expelled Brian Vazquez and Ashok Roy’s three Jewish children in March, after the parents complained about its “unwillingness to respond to anti-Semitic harassment of their 11-year-old daughter…”
The school “allowed anti-Semitism to take root in her class” over the course of several months, including with a social studies project that saw students promote Adolf Hitler as a “strong historical leader.” That project “was shared with the entire school community” and contributed to “a pattern of persistent and severe anti-Semitic harassment,” the complaint alleges.
Seriously.
Before the NEA declares that President Trump is a “fascist,” perhaps they should look into why a North Virginia school is doing fascist-y things, and praising the man with the tiny toothbrush mustache. Just a thought.
UPDATE: It sounds like the NEA endorses the Nysmith School’s worldview: Nation’s Largest Teachers’ Union Moves to Cut Ties with the ADL over Group’s Defense of Israel.
HE ISN’T WRONG: Trump calls Staff Gen. Milley ‘idiot’ for leaving military equipment in Afghanistan during withdrawal.
Trump, who historically has pushed to recover billions of dollars’ worth of equipment US troops left in Afghanistan, said that Milley argued at the time it was cheaper to leave the equipment there.
“That’s when I knew he was an idiot,” Trump said during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday. “Didn’t take long to figure that one out. But they left all that equipment. But they left their dignity behind. It was the most embarrassing moment, in my opinion, in the history of our country. Not that we got out. We should have not been there, but that we got out the way we got out with great embarrassment and death.”
Milley, who is now retired, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
To be fair, what’s there to say?
“JUST BECAUSE I HATE YOUR GUTS DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE WRONG.” And more free speech lessons from my TED Talk.
Russia: The Vulnerable Sick Man of Eurasia
Popular history credits Russian Czar Nicholas I with describing 19th-century Ottoman Turkey as “The Sick Man of Europe.”
British envoy Sir George Hamilton’s full quote lacks the headline’s memorable pop: “We have a sick man on our hands, a man gravely ill …” The czar added that it would be dreadful if sick man Turkey slipped away “before the necessary arrangements are made.”
In 2025, hard facts say Russia is The Sick Man of Eurasia — ripe for exploitation by actors making calculating arrangements.
Yes. Arrangements are being made.

IF A RIGHT-WINGER HAD DONE THIS UNDER BIDEN OR OBAMA, THEY’D HAVE BEEN JAILED POSTHASTE WITH CHEERS FROM THE PRESS: Ex-NYU prof’s website exposes ICE agents with facial recognition as assaults on officers surge 700%.
RELIGION OF PEACE UPDATE: Hostages released from Gaza detail sexual violence as Israeli report concludes Hamas used it as ‘weapon of war’ on October 7.
The Dinah Project experts — all women — gathered first-hand testimonies from the 15 returned hostages, one survivor of an attempted rape during the October 7, 2023 terror attacks, 17 eye and ear witnesses and 27 first responders who attended the scenes of the attacks.
These testimonies, coupled with forensic reports and photographs and videos from the attacks, led them to conclude that Hamas used sexual violence in a widespread, systematic and “tactical” way as a “weapon of war.”
The report, published on Tuesday, describes some of the survivors’ experiences.
One female hostage was beaten and sexually assaulted at gunpoint while in captivity, according to the report. She said she was chained by an iron ankle chain for three weeks and was repeatedly asked about the timing of her menstrual cycle. The report details that many of the 15 former hostages were threatened with rape in the form of forced marriage. Almost all of them reported verbal sexual harassment and some physical sexual harassment, including unwanted touching of private parts, it said.
All believable, in light of what Hamas chose to broadcast and brag about on Oct. 7.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: For Your Consideration — James Comey in an Orange Jumpsuit. “Longtime readers of mine know that James Comey has long been near the top of my list of undesirables who I think deserve some righteous legal scrutiny. The smug jerk smirked his way through the Biden years, thinking that he got away with his interference in the 2016 presidential election.”
DISMANTLING HIGHER EDUCATION WOULD SEEM MORE LIKELY TO PRESERVE CIVILIZATION: Macalester Prof Calls For “Dismantling” America, Israel, in Favor of “Decolonialization:” “The US is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed…There is real hope that Palestine offers us.”
DON SURBER: Democrats blew it: The most popular place in America today is Alligator Alcatraz.
Mass immigration has never been popular with voters, only with elites. This is true across the West, and it’s odd that it’s happened everywhere anyway. The blowback we’re seeing so far is a mild response.
HE SAYS THAT LIKE IT ISN’T BEAUTIFUL: Trump Megabill Will Supersize ICE’s Mass-Deportation Push. “Overall, the law provides $170 billion in new funding for immigration and border enforcement. A substantial $46.5 billion will go toward completing Trump’s beloved border wall. But since border crossings have dropped to very low levels this year, the administration’s more immediate priority will be supercharging ICE’s mass-deportation initiative aimed at immigrants already in the country. The megabill makes ICE the largest federal law-enforcement agency by far and channels $14 billion in new money to local law-enforcement agencies that cooperate with its work — some very serious dollars for often cash-strapped police departments.”
STOP TRYING TO MAKE FETCH HAPPEN: About That Kamala Harris Comeback…
CHANGE: “School Discipline Makes a Comeback.” Unlike the Obama and Biden Administrations, the Trump Administration is allowing schools to remove disruptive students from the classroom. Thank God (and the Donald). The rest of the students will finally be able to learn. To its everlasting shame, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights contributed to the ridiculous educational fad that held punishing students is racist. It issued an utterly moronic report on the subject in 2019. I was never so p-ssed off in my life.
LEAKED MEMOS: Harris warned to distance herself from Biden and go on Joe Rogan podcast.
In a series of memos from Maria Comella, a Republican political strategist who has advised Democrats including former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Comella told Harris campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon that the then-vice president was not providing voters with a “reason” to cast a ballot for her.
…
Comella also advised Harris to acknowledge how Democrats had missed “the mark” on the economy and inflation, border security, the COVID-19 pandemic, crime and public safety, and climate policies, such as Biden’s electric vehicles mandate, during her sit-down interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier and more broadly on the campaign trail.“Create clear daylight/differentiation between a Harris and Biden administration,” she wrote. “Acknowledge where the Democratic Party hasn’t gotten it right — a willingness to not just work with the other side, but call out your own party when necessary. Meet the moment by contrasting the stakes on the issues.”
Comella also encouraged Harris to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast and not underscore the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol during her closing argument address at the Ellipse.
“Be prepared to play,” she wrote of Rogan. “While he won’t be aggressive, he will be looking for authenticity and it’s an opportunity to differentiate in style.”
These were all bad decisions. But they were also the best decisions available, once the quality and preparedness of the candidate were taken into account.
