Yesterday in “For what it’s worth” I took the case of the eight indicted “pro-Palestinian” defendants associated with the University of Michigan as illustrative. A reader kindly wrote to remind me: Those are (some of) the students that Professor Derek Peterson praised at the University of Michigan’s commencement this year. “Sing for the pro-Palestinian student activists, who have over these past two years opened our hearts to the injustice and

I could easily make this into a weekly series. The horrific incident. The carnage covered in euphemisms. All immediately forgotten. Today’s entry from the U.K. Guardian, Seven people injured after man drives car into pedestrians in northern Italy. What? Eight people were injured, two seriously, on Saturday after a car rammed into a group of pedestrians in the northern Italian city of Modena. Police said the driver, in his 30s,

Having been appointed a federal district judge by President Reagan, Michael Mukasey stepped down from the bench to serve as President George W. Bush’s last and best Attorney General. He is of counsel to Debevoise & Plimpton in New York. Judge Mukasey presided over the trial of the Blind Sheikh in 1995. Then-Assistant United States Attorney Andrew McCarthy prosecuted the case and wrote the memoir Willful Blindness to recount what

We took a look at the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times photojournalist Saher Alghorra in “The Pulitzers strike again.” The Washington Free Beacon now follows up with a review of Alghorra’s social media posts to establish that, if not a formal member of Hamas, he supports the lying party line in every jot and tittle: “New York Times Pulitzer-Winning Photographer Calls Hamas and Jihadist Militants ‘Martyrs’ and ‘Resistance,’

Britain seems far gone in Islamism and spinelessness. Britain’s Jews are therefore suppressed as provocations. Jewish institutions are under attack. Jews themselves are at risk of physical harm in public. Witness the Golden Green stabbings this past Wednesday. The British historian Dominic Green provides a characteristically eloquent overview and excellent on-the-scene report in his Free Expression column “Antisemitism in the Yookay.” Jacob Rees-Mogg spoke to this week’s events at a

And captured in Minnesota, no less. I wrote about the case of Said Jama Ahmed on Wednesday as he made his initial appearance in federal court in Minnesota. It turns out that Jama is a bona fide Somali pirate. The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) posted on Twitter (X) earlier today. DHS goes on to recount, This [2012] threat occurred during an encounter when the U.S.S. Halsey responded to

The Free Beacon’s Jessica Costescu draws attention to the recent speaker (via video) at Berkeley Law School: The University of California Berkeley law school’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter hosted a convicted Palestinian terrorist who detonated a car bomb that burned an Israeli police officer, an event a spokesman for the school told the Washington Free Beacon is “Constitutionally protected expression.” Israa Jaabis, who was freed from prison

It seems that one can best explain America’s immigration policies with the supposition that they were crafted by our enemies to do as much harm as possible. That thought is prompted by news that the niece and grand-niece of Iran’s arch terrorist, Gen. Qasem Soleimani, killed by an American missile during the first Trump administration, are to be deported: The niece of slain Iranian mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani, who showcased

“Michigan man” Ayman Ghazali had mass murder on his mind and all the equipment necessary to commit it when he plowed into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan on March 12. In doing so, he was inspired by Hezbollah to kill as many Jews as possible. He assidously sought out the site and gathered the means. On Monday Detroit FBI Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyan called a press conference

Alana Goodman has a follow-up story on the efforts of Micigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to navigate in the wake of Ayatollah Khameni’s assassination. Yesterday Alana reported on internal campaign deliberations in which El-Sayed observed that potential voters in Dearborn were choked up about the death of Khameni. You know, they are fans of terrorism and that “Death to America” thing. El-Sayed is sad too. He’s angry. He’s in

The story of the day is uncomfortably close to a literal “bomshell.” Alana Goodman has obtained a copy of what I call the Sad in Dearborn tapes. They derive from Michigan’s radical left-wing Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Alana’s story is “‘There Are a Lot of People in Dearborn Who Are Sad’: Democratic Senate Hopeful Abdul El-Sayed Said He Needed To Stay Silent on Khamenei Killing Because Many of Michigan’s

Unless you watch the CBS Evening News, you missed the report taking viewers inside Temple Israel and the damage done by family guy Ayman Mohamad Ghazali. As I say in the linked post, the family guy had mass murder on his mind. In the event, thanks to what seems like divine intervention, the damage he did was limited to the security officer who stopped him and to the building itself.

Under three bylines, the Wall Street Journal reported on its news pages in its March 14 edition: The family of the man who rammed his vehicle into a synagogue outside Detroit was recently killed in Lebanon by an Israeli attack, officials said. Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a 41-year-old who was born in Lebanon and became a U.S. citizen in 2016, died in Thursday’s attack at Temple Israel, a Reform Jewish synagogue

The supporters of genocidal anti-American terrorist groups have no fear or shame gathering to express their allegiance on the streets of New York or elsewhere. Leaving the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis one Thursday afternoon during the second Feeding Our Future trial I found Hamas supporters wearing their keffiyehs massed outside the doors. They made me ill. I took the skyway back to my car. With recent terrorist attacks in

It didn’t take long for the mainstream media to come up with a preferred story line for Ayman Mohamad Ghazali’s wild terrorist attack at West Bloomfield’s Temple Israel synagogue. In addition to the New York Times stories cited below, see, for example, this Associated Press story (“Man who rammed into Michigan synagogue had just lost family in an Israeli strike in Lebanon”), this Washington Post story (“Suspect in synagogue crash

If you go looking on the home page of the Star Tribune for a story on the wild anti-Semitic attack at Michigan’s Temple Israel yesterday, you won’t find it. Ditto re the terrorist attack and murder at Old Dominion University. It’s not for want of space on the home page. The Star Tribune home page lists more than 40 stories, columns, and features. Yesterday’s terrorist stories just aren’t deemed that

John covers the basics of the two (2) terrorist attacks that took place today in America: one at a Michigan synagogue/school and the second at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. I do want to make one point about alleged motive. We all know what the motive was. The New York Post headline on the Michigan attack, Would-be Michigan car bomber rammed explosives-laden truck into Temple Israel preschool — before
