Political motives lie not far beneath the surface of everything Congress does. That is appropriate in a democracy. But we expect the House, and especially the Senate, to retain at least some pretense of exercising its powers in the public interest. Instead, the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are abusing its investigatory powers simply to campaign against Leonard Leo and Harlan Crow.
Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, and their committee will reportedly vote within the next two weeks to subpoena Leo and Crow, as well as Robin Arkley II, who is targeted over a fishing trip with Justice Samuel Alito 15 years ago.

Paul has done an excellent job covering President Biden’s double-game of trotting out ostensibly pro-Israel positions for public consumption while privately moving to scuttle Israel and advance the interests of Hamas (and hence Iran). But tonight Joe, with the indiscipline that comes with his advanced age, and without a teleprompter to keep him on his (public) message, said it out loud. As reported by CBS:
President Joe Biden said he thought there should be a humanitarian "pause" in the Israel-Hamas war, after his campaign speech Wednesday evening was interrupted by a protester calling for a cease-fire.
"I think we need a pause," Biden said.

President Biden is facing growing concerns among independent voters as polling shows lackluster approval from a key group in deciding who wins the White House.
A Gallup poll released last week shows Biden’s approval rating among independents fell 4 points in the past month to 35 percent. The report noted the president’s approval has been “generally weak” with that group since July 2021 — after he logged 61 percent approval from independents at the start of his term.“The independent vote just becomes more and more important in every cycle. And it can really make a margin,” said Democratic strategist Jon Reinish.

When Hamas terrorists released 85-year-old peace activist Yocheved Lifschitz for the fawning press to record on Monday, she was kind enough to give them another small propaganda win on her way back to Israel.Lifschitz and her husband, Oded, were taken hostage from the Nir Oz kibbutz by Hamas terrorists on motorcycles during the October 7 terror invasion of Israel. Their daughter Sharone told the Times of Israel, “They’re no longer the kind of people who can survive without medications… Mom was ripped out of her machine; she was sleeping.”
Before the war, the Lifschitzes worked as peace activists, transporting sick Gazans to Israeli hospitals for treatment. Oded remains a hostage.

Last week, in this column, I argued, “What happens in Israel will not stay in Israel.” I went on to warn that “the next shoe to drop may be in Galveston rather than Gaza.”
Is this warning a bit over the top, or is there a reason to take it seriously?
Well, if Solomon was right when he said, “As a man thinketh, so he is,” let’s consider what the people who fancy themselves the moral conscience of America and the West actually think and say.Here’s a short summary.
“White people are a genetic defect of blackness. Whiteness is not humanness. In fact, white skin is sub-human.

Late Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Missouri v. Biden, a case that may end the Biden administration’s circumvention of the First Amendment by outsourcing censorship to Big Tech. The case was initially filed by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with various private plaintiffs who allege that social media platforms censored them at the behest of federal agencies. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty ruled for the plaintiffs on July 4, enjoining the agencies from communicating with platforms about “content moderation.” The Biden administration sought relief from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost again, making a Supreme Court clash inevitable.

Who needs a ground invasion? Last weekend, the Israelis gave Gazans 24 hours to evacuate the northern end of Gaza, signaling that infantry and armor would soon roll through Gaza City. Joe Biden then dropped in for a visit, which some thought could have accounted for the delay in ground operations.Biden has come and gone, though, but the Israeli ground invasion has yet to launch. Meanwhile, the IDF keeps finding success in their current posture. Just ask the Palestinians:
The Commander of the Hamas-led National Security Forces in Gaza Jehad Mheisen was killed by an Israeli airstrike, according to Palestinian reports on Thursday.

A transgender associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago posted on social media that Israelis are “pigs” and “savages,” prompting alarm and anger from observers.
On Instagram, Professor Mika Tosca wrote: “Israelis are pigs. Savages. Very very bad people. Irredeemable excrement. … May they all rot in hell.”
Tosca’s post also argued Israel is engaging in “propaganda” and is responsible for “crimes against humanity” recently and in decades past. The post was made in the wake of deadly terrorist attacks against Israel by Hamas that killed more than 1,100 civilians, including women and children.

One of the weapons House Democrats have been trotting out of their arsenal to use against GOP House Speaker nominee Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) during the contentious debate surrounding his candidacy is that he's an alleged election denier because he objected to the certification of the 2020 presidential election.During a recent press conference held in front of the Capitol, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) was one of a number of Democrats to accuse Jordan of engaging in "peddling lies and conspiracy theories" to the American people regarding the 2020 election and other issues:

It’s why many national security experts are looking at Tehran, not Gaza, regarding the training and logistics needed to carry out the heinous October 7 attack committed by Hamas against Israel. Around 1,000 terrorists stormed the Gaza border, killing over 1,200 Israelis in the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It was an invasion with the only goal being to kill as many Israelis as possible. Newly discovered top-secret Hamas documents show a detailed layout of the kibbutzim, methodically collecting intelligence on each community. Iran has already said they helped Hamas plan this attack for at least the past several weeks (via NBC News):

Thomas Jefferson, in an 1816 letter to a member of the Virginia General Assembly, made this observation: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” He wrote this passage to highlight the need for a system of primary schools in the Old Dominion. Eventually, the Commonwealth did establish a public school system, though Jefferson didn’t live to see it. That is just as well, perhaps. He would certainly be horrified by the ignorance of the people who attend and receive diplomas from our public schools.

After Hamas terrorists murdered 260-plus mostly young people enjoying a “peace” concert near the Gaza border and slaughtered families in their homes, normal people were utterly outraged and sympathetic to the Israeli victims. Others — mostly university professors, progressive activists and “journalists,” and even some members of Congress — couldn’t bring themselves to condemn the violence. Some even excused it.I would have offered my free public-relations pro-tip to some of these folks but didn’t bother given that productive suggestions don’t go very far on social media. But here goes: Even if you have no sympathy for the Jewish victims, despise the Israeli government and its treatment of
