Evil Can’t Create, It Can Only Invert

William Blake was wrong to say that Milton was “of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” In Paradise Lost, John Milton demonstrated a breathtaking vision which is the last thing that a poet of the ‘devil’s party’ is capable of doing. If you want to see a work of the ‘devil’s party’, Netflix has a cartoon ‘reimagining’ Cinderella’s stepsisters as the misunderstood heroines. This devilishly unoriginal work follows half a dozen similar revisionist reworkings of classic children’s stories so that the villains are the heroes, e.g. Maleficent, Wicked, Cruella, for the same reason. Members of the ‘devil’s party’ don’t create: they take what someone else made, and invert it.

Peaceful protesters certainly exist, but in many instances, the same marchers who cry "from the river to the sea" also provide cover, logistics and recruitment spaces for operatives who work closely with Hamas or other terrorist organizations.
A report from the University of Indiana shows how a transnational network of NGOs and campus groups spread antisemitic and pro-Hamas narratives, coordinated across borders and amplified by social media. The message is simple: Israel is "colonial," Jews are "settlers," and violence against them is "resistance."
European rallies have repeatedly featured Hamas flags, praise for the October 7 attackers and calls to "repeat" the massacre – all under the label of "human rights."

Hollywood liberals and ‘kangaroo court’

Amal Clooney’s public image is one of a trailblazing human rights lawyer unafraid to hold world leaders to account, who just happens to be married to a movie star.
But critics say the British barrister and professor is selective in her approach, favoring causes that are at odds with the state of Israel, while questioning her choice to work with a hardline Muslim group.
Eyebrows were raised when it emerged last week Amal may have had a hand in drafting a constitution for Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, which President Trump is in the process of designating a terrorist group.
Newly declassified FBI and DOJ records have revived scrutiny of the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the Uranium One deal — records that closely track and reinforce investigative reporting first brought to national attention by Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer.
Schweizer posted on X in response to Just the News’s reporting on the internal memos, saying, “We broke the Uranium One story back in my 2015 book Clinton Cash. Now it emerges that while federal investigators believed there was ‘significant evidence worth pursuing related to criminal activity,’ Obama officials shut the investigation down.”
The Australian Jewish Association, or AJA, describes itself as a "National membership org based on authentic Jewish & centre-right Australian values." Sounds like a reasonable organization, in what was once a reasonable country. But Australia, it seems, is no longer a reasonable country, as evidenced by Sunday's Bondi Beach atrocity, and the AJA isn't shy about who is to blame. The post continues: That's a rather long post, and I repeat it in its entirety because it's important; it bears contemplation, while the horrors of the Bondi Beach terror attack are fresh in our minds.
The dramatic moment Rob Reiner’s son Nick was arrested Sunday for allegedly killing his parents was captured in footage that has been shared by authorities.
The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Unit on Monday posted the since-deleted photos of Nick Reiner, 32, being detained near a Metro station just 15 miles from Rob and Michele Reiner’s California home.
Nick Reiner, whose face is blurred out, is seen being forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to one photo.Another snap showed law enforcement pushing the suspect against the front of a squad car.In the caption, the unit only identified the man as “a double homicide suspect.”

President Trump lodged an eye-watering $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC on Monday, accusing the British broadcaster of defaming him through a deceptive edit of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech at the White House Ellipse.
The lawsuit took aim at a 2024 documentary by the BBC, which spliced different sections of Trump’s comments before his supporters ransacked the Capitol to make it appear as though he explicitly encouraged the riot.
“I’m suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth, literally,” Trump grumbled to reporters earlier in the day, Monday. “They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn’t say.”

Almost as quickly as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese could pretend not to notice who shot up Bondi Beach on Sunday — a horrific act of Islamic terror against local Jews during Chanukah — the Labor leader announced swift action to insure that such an attack could never happen again.What swift action might that be?" I can hear you ask. "Roll up the ISIS cell in Sydney that apparently everybody knew about? Expel unassimilated foreigners? Teach Australian police to, I don't know, shoot back right away instead of standing around with their thumbs up their you-know-whats?"
Nah. According to Albanese, what Australia really needs is more gun laws.

It is possible that when you were looking into news items recently, you came to CNN’s digital platform and ran into a problem. You try to open up an article and get a window explaining that you need to subscribe to read a basic news entry. This is a result of a new foray the outlet began in expanding its digital reach, and it has been a mystery how well things are going.It was back in October when CNN All Access, the cable news channel’s third attempt at establishing a foothold in the evolving digital landscape, was rolled out. If this comes as a surprise, it is understandable;
The corporate press has consistently depicted the Indiana Senate’s Thursday vote against creating more pro-Republican congressional maps as a sign of “loyalty” or “betrayal” of President Trump. But the reality is a lot more complicated, and it has a lot to say about the current distraction and incompetence of the Republican Party.
“Indiana lawmakers defy Trump’s redistricting push,” headlined The New York Times.Indiana Republicans defy Trump,” headlined the Associated Press.
Politico described the Thursday vote as “Indiana GOP’s Trump rebuke.”
To be sure, there’s definitely an anti-Trump factor to the fact that 21 of 40 Republican state senators — a majority! — voted against redistricting.
key congressional panel focused on China’s impacts on human rights and religious freedom is urging Congress and the Trump administration to do far more to combat Beijing’s transnational intimidation and repression campaigns in the United States and across the globe.
In a sweeping 2025 annual report, the Congressional Executive Commission on China, co-chaired by Republicans Sen. Dan Sullivan and Rep. Chris Smith, warned of a continued multifaceted campaign of transnational repression against members of Chinese communities in the U.S. and abroad and critics aimed at intimidating individuals and stifling dissent.
New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has said he may arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents if he determines they are breaking the law.
During an interview with MSNOW Senior Political and National Reporter Jacob Soboroff, Mamdani was asked about how he intends to follow through on his promise to help block President Trump’s policy of mass deportation of illegal aliens residing in New York City.

for investigating her alleged marriage
to brother 27 replies
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called those concerned about whether she married her brother “sick” after the far-left lawmaker was approached by Fox News Digital about border czar Tom Homan, signaling that federal officials have started digging into records pertaining to the matter.
Homan said last week that records and files related to Omar’s potential immigration fraud were being pulled and looked at after President Donald Trump revived the years-old scandal amid an ongoing debate over the Somali Medicaid fraud scandal taking place in Omar’s state of Minnesota.
While Homan suggested that fraud likely took place, he also signaled that the crime’s statute of limitations could present a problem when it comes
The Obamas were supposed to meet with director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the night they were allegedly killed by their son, Nick Reiner, in their home in Los Angeles. “We were supposed to be seeing them that night — last night — and we got the news,” Michelle Obama said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night, when host Jimmy Kimmel asked how she was coping with the news of her friends’ murders.
The former first lady said she and her husband were devastated when they learned that the legendary filmmaker and his wife, with whom they had been friends for “many, many years,” had been killed.
At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell gave an update on the murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner.
Hochman announced that he would be filing charges against Nick Reiner on two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. Reiner also faces a special allegation that he "personally used" a dangerous and deadly weapon – a knife – in the commission of those murders. The charges, according to Hochman, carry a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
Chuck Schumer Calls for More Gun Control

After Handgun Attack at Gun-Free Brown University 22 replies
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for more gun control in response to Saturday’s handgun attack at gun-free Brown University.
He did not mention the school’s gun-free policy nor that it goes so far as to prevent concealed carry permit holders from being armed on campus for self-defense.
Instead, Schumer went with the standard Democrat talking point of pushing more gun laws after extant gun control fails to prevent a criminal from acting out his heinous intentions.
Forbes posted video of Schumer claiming Australia is showing “courage” by seeking ways to expand and implement new gun controls after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
President Donald Trump’s tasteless comments following the apparent murder of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner on Sunday showed that the president, at least on that occasion, had a speck in his eye.
Before criticizing Trump, however, liberals should make sure to remove the logs from their own eyes. (Matthew 7:3)
Recall, for instance, that a swarm of liberals, including Reiner himself, once greeted news of the late conservative media icon Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis — and later Limbaugh’s death — with politically-motivated heartlessness. “Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this *****g man,” Reiner wrote
President Trump defended White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in an exclusive interview with The Post Tuesday — saying she was right to tell Vanity Fair he has an “alcoholic’s personality” and that he has full faith in Wiles to continue in her role. Trump, 79, reiterated that he avoids alcohol, saying in the interview he has a “possessive and addictive type personality” and that he wasn’t offended by her word choice. “No, she meant that I’m — you see, I don’t drink alcohol. So everybody knows that — but I’ve often said that if I did, I’d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic.
Ding-Dong! The Obamacare Subsidies Are Dead!
19 replies
The enhanced Obamacare subsidies Democrats shut down the government to protect back in October are officially dead. House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed the door on extending the bloated COVID-era handout, saying the House will focus instead on moving forward with a new Republican healthcare package.
The temporary subsidies, born out of pandemic panic, were supposed to expire at the end of this year. Democrats, of course, wanted them extended indefinitely—because nothing is ever temporary in Washington when it involves taxpayer money. But Johnson made it clear on Tuesday that this was the end of the line.
The Trump administration is doing damage control after a new series of extraordinarily candid interviews with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles set the political world ablaze.
In a series of eleven interviews with Vanity Fair conducted throughout the first year of President Trump’s second term, Wiles gave her unfiltered thoughts on Trump’s “alcoholic” personality, Vice President JD Vance’s “sort of political” conversion to Trumpism, Elon Musk’s “odd” behavior and drug use, and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s mistakes in handling the Epstein files.

The Bondi Beach attack in Australia was shocking, but not at all surprising.
Some of the details were distinctive — an idyllic spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field; a father-son terror squad — but the basic picture of radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar.
These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version of Islam is, at its root, hostile to Jews.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that there was a refugee flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those Unitarians were antagonistic to traditional Christians — such that they vandalized their businesses, harassed them in the streets,
The Somalization of North Dakota

On July 13, 2023, Mohamad Barakat, a Syrian refugee, packed up several rifles and handguns 1,800 rounds of ammo, a hand grenade, and a car filled with gas cans on the way to carry out an Islamic terrorist attack at Fargo’s Downtown Street fair aiming to kill thousands of Americans. Instead the terror refugee got into a confrontation with police and died in an exchange of fire.
North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley insisted that there was ‘no evidence of political, racial or religious motivation’. “At this point it seems [no] more notable that he’s Muslim than I’m Lutheran,” he bafflingly argued. He also dismissed footage of Mohamad holding a Koran.
