🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣 Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel —un medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdista— ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cómo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo. Su candidata a gobernar Berlín, Elif Eralp, envió por accidente a la redacción las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por Hamás que opera dentro de su propio partido. Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisó la transcripción. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debían quedar en la más estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas. El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntó por Ibrahim Ibrahim —un propalestino simpatizante de Hamás que celebró la masacre del 7 de octubre—, la respuesta pública iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribió la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, él tiene miedo de esta gente y yo también». La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mí misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?». El mayor chiste de toda esta situación, sin embargo, quedó plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sí quería publicar. En un alarde de desconexión absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sí puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velaré por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido. Luego del escándalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederá legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentará una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que están en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis. La izquierda radical berlinesa creyó que podía capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islámico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.

Throw them all in jail.
Alaskan Gov. Mike Dunleavy just told Fox that the decoy Dan J. Sullivan was asked to speak earlier to their investigators and he refused to do so. Now, no one seems to be able to find him as the Democrats ride out the scandal in the final five days...

The Ilhan Omar "married her brother" story was originally broken by @realDSteinberg at the @powerlineUS blog and @PJMedia_com in 2018. Media covered it only to try to bury it. It was treated as a conspiracy theory. Now we know the feds knew it in 2016. powerlineblog.com/archives/2…

Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization. A few years ago, Cardinal Américo Aguiar, at the time auxiliary bishop of Lisbon, said that he and the other organizers of World Youth Day in his hometown had no interest in converting anyone to Christ. Now Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algeria has opined that “the Church is not there to convert” and “Christians should approach other religions through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.” Excuse me, but…what? Last time I checked, the Founder said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Sure sounds like conversion to me. When St. Paul came to Corinth or Athens or Thessalonica, his purpose was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message: the euangelion (glad tidings) that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. So impassioned is he for this work that he says, “I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:22); and “If I proclaim the gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16)! Moreover, the entire thrust of the Second Vatican Council was toward bringing the Light of Christ to the peoples of the world (Lumen Gentium). And this missionary élan has given rise in the last few decades to the idea of a “new evangelization,” which is to say, a fresh declaration of the Lordship of Christ. Quite obviously, no one thinks that this work of evangelization should be done in a brow-beating, overbearing, or disrespectful manner (proselytization), but for God’s sake, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If I really thought that the Church does not exist to bring people to Christ, then I would resign and get an honest job.

The 21 year old Syrian guy who gangraped an 18 year old girl -of course with his family members- filmed the crime and distributed it on the socials and now stands on trial, according to his lawyer (for whom we taxpayers pay) he is a decent guy with work and AN OWN HOUSE that he got before every other Dutch citizen. People can apply for social rent from their 18th birthday. Waiting lists are approximately 10 years and not just in big cities (there even more). But he already got a house... Btw this isn't cultural and demographic suicide it's "murder" because the kids of the minister and her social layer can afford buying the expensive houses on the market. Or pay commercial rent. It's the social layers of ordinary Dutch below her class that are being disadvantaged here! It's the highest social class that is oppressing the lower ones.

Abdul El-Sayed’s sister is mass deleting posts admitting that her family are active within the Muslim Brotherhood. It would be a shame if this went viral.

Today our team was in federal court defending Florida’s recent designation of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as domestic terrorist organizations. Florida will not become France on our watch! We will root out the spread of Jihad in our communities.

I simply can't fucking believe this is happening. How the hell is the Islamisation of the world allowed to happen everywhere? In Israel, of all places, a party whose Muslim leader refuses to recognise Hamas as a terrorist group has more seats in parliament than Jewish Israeli nationalists, after Hamas's massacre!!!! In the US, Muslim Brotherhood candidates are running for the senate, with the full backing of the Democrats. And, Western Europe is entirely captured by the Muslim Brother and Jihadists! What the fucking hell is wrong with you all? Are you so despicable and cowardly that you're literally allowing the scum of the earth yo take over your countries? What the fuck is happening? Did you look at places like Iraq and Lebanon and decided "ah, we'd love to be like these countries"? This is sickening!

🚨That Palestinian flag you see waving over the riots in Europe is not a protest symbol. It is a Trojan horse! The Muslim Brotherhood spelled this out in their 1991 memorandum: infiltrate Western institutions, use our own systems against us, and destroy the West from the inside. Qatar and Turkey fund it. The left provides the cover. France and Italy are already burning. That same playbook is moving fast into America. This is the warning. If we do not stop it now, there is no going back.

There’s no question the Justice Department must open a federal civil-rights criminal probe on @HennepinAtty. How is this not a criminal conspiracy to violate @JamesOKeefeIII’s 1st Amendment rights? 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 & 242. It’s egregious. @TheJusticeDept @CivilRights @DMNnews
James O’Keefe on the Felony Charges for Exposing Fraud in Minnesota: This is not political. It is fundamental. It is about whether citizens still have the right to question their government. This is now a landmark First Amendment case, and every American’s right to speak truth to power has been put on the line. Weaponized lawfare does not work against me. It has always backfired on the people who come after me. Most people find criminal charges and lawsuits stressful; the process becomes a form of punishment. But I love this process because it gives me the opportunity to expose injustice at the highest levels. My foundation will be indemnifying members of the Justice League, including @camhigby for their lawful reporting. I’m calling on all Americans, and especially all journalists, to stand united on a message to the prosecutors in Minnesota: the politics of fear will not prevail in the United States of America.

Isa Cayahuga is not an American citizen, and our country should not tolerate her existence in our borders for a second longer. Her and her entire shitlib immigrant family need to be deported immediately.
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered. I told her I’d pray for her. This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.

This is a gas price heat map. Notice that bold line between Virginia and North Carolina? Today, North Carolina has the cheapest gas in the country at $3.48/gallon In Virginia, it’s $4.04/gallon. Entirely because of the gas tax, which Democrats refuse to suspend. Is the Iran war a problem? Yes. But you know what’s an even bigger problem? Virginia Democrats refusing to deliver any relief.

We're JUST beginning to course correct from the disastrous results of letting theater kids with BIG HEARTS implement very stupid policies in major cities across the U.S. And look I'm not blackpilling but why the hell would Americans get to the polls on Tuesday and think “hell yeah let's do more of that.”
wild ruling out of Seattle that @PHLCouncil needs to read. a builder put $39M into 254 low-income apartments locked at 60% AMI for 30 years. from 2015 to 2018 it worked, collecting ~94% of rent. then Seattle stacked on "tenant protections": banned criminal background checks, banned winter evictions, required 180 days notice for rent hikes + 3 months relocation pay, and forced the owner to let unscreened roommates move in and take over leases. result: rent collections dropped from 93.9% to 44.1%!!! the building lost nearly $6M through 2023 ($2.7M in 2023 alone) and is now appraised as functionally worthless. the city bankrupted actual affordable housing lol. the appeals court just ruled the owner can sue Seattle for an unconstitutional taking. when you strip a landlord's right to screen, collect rent or remove non-paying tenants, it's not "regulation" anymore, you took the building…. Philly has half these laws already 🙄 courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/8…
