Alan Dershowitz ... Republican? Yes. Not independent. Not disaffected. The famed appellate attorney and Harvard con-law professor has not just renounced his lifelong political affiliation, but Dersh has signed up for the other team. What happened? It starts with Democrats' sharp turn toward anti-Semitism with Israel as its political golem, but as Dershowitz argues, that serves more as a harbinger for a broader radicalization within the party. The catalyst came last week when most of the Senate Democrat caucus voted to withhold funds for Israel's defensive systems, where the scales fell from his eyes on the power of anti-Semites within the Democrat Party:

Welcome aboard, Professor. The "big tent" is now with the Republican party, warts and all. But I often remember the words of that great Jewish comedian and son of a Sheboygan, Wis. Rabbi, Jackie Mason, who said that Jews live like rich, white Republicans but vote like poor, Black Democrats.

Gee - - it only took my fellow native Brooklynite about seven decades to realize that he's been a chump. But good for you, Dershie. Come-on-a my house - - and I'll make you an egg cream.

Thanks to #1 for bringing back memories of seeing Jackie live in concert in his later years. The man was genius both comedically and in common sense. He saw right through everything to core truths, and did so while making you cry from laughing so hard. One of a kind. R.I.P.

Absolutely amazing that seemingly intelligent people cannot seem to see the perfidy and corruption of the dems and the Left. It's been on blatant display since BO became president and was there to see since BJ Clintoon and his witch were in the White House. It's great that Alan has finally opened his eyes about the repugnance of the dems. It would be nice if more American Jews also could see the light.

Israel Flores Ortiz, an 18-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was sentenced Tuesday to 360 days in prison after being convicted earlier this month of groping several girls at Fairfax County High School. Originally accused of groping 13 female classmates, Flores Ortiz was convicted on nine counts of misdemeanor assault, found not guilty on three counts, and had one charge dropped. Flores Ortiz has ten days to appeal the sentence. Including the time he has already served, Flores Ortiz has 135 days left on his sentence. After Flores Ortiz completes his sentence, he will serve two years of probation.

Looks like cheat's back on the menu, boys! After dragging out the will they/won't they game for a couple of days, the Iranians finally agreed to return to Islamabad for another round of peace talks. Or at least that's what Pakistan claims, the Associated Press reported less than an hour ago. Once again, the same negotiators will meet at the same table to discuss the same issues, and ... do something different this time? We'll see – maybe: Neither the U.S. nor Iran have publicly confirmed the timing of talks. Iranian state television has denied any official is already in Pakistan’s capital.

There are plenty of Democrats who are not antisemites, just as many or most Democrats are not advocates of abortion until birth, alphabet ideology, or open borders. But it is becoming impossible to run and win as a Democrat on a statewide or national stage without being actively antisemitic, and being friendly to Israel is absolutely, positively, without any doubt a position that will kill you in a Democratic primary—and make no mistake, in almost any district in America, Democrats will primary you unless you express deep skepticism or even hostility to Israel.

In recent months, we've seen just a few too many people who came to the United States, legally or illegally, who have established themselves and then proceeded to go on rants about how evil and horrible America is. Some of them are even in Congress. Plenty of people are tired of this; why, one might ask, did they come here if America is all that bad? Republican Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) has an answer in the Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act, which delightfully becomes an acronym as the MAMDANI Act.

Tuesday morning, President Trump did a brief telephone interview with Joe Kernen of CNBC's Squawk Box. The subject was Trump's prognosis for how the negotiations would proceed. President Trump doesn't seem to have high hopes. He points out that even though the Iranian leadership has stated it would not attend the new round of negotiations in Islamabad, it is participating, so long as the U.S. continues to blockade Iranian ports. Trump did not back off (see VIDEO: USS Spruance Lights Up Iranian Blockade Runner in a Formidable Demonstration of FAFO – RedState) and yet here we are.

The U.S. government has been losing up to half a trillion taxpayer dollars just to fraud for the past five years, according to a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. America’s national debt as of Saturday morning is $39.13 trillion and climbing every second. Democrats have spent decades deliberately encouraging as much reckless spending and fraud as possible, but even most Republicans are content to overlook a vast amount of fraud and overspending if they secure the pet projects they want. Robert Westbrooks, former federal inspector general, gave April 15 testimony to the House Oversight Committee, exposing the gargantuan financial crisis.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is not expected to step down this term and has already hired all four law clerks for the upcoming annual term despite speculation the high court justice was weighing retirement, multiple sources said. Alito "is not stepping down this term and is in the process of hiring the rest of his clerks for the next term," a source told Fox News Digital. Two other sources told Fox News that Alito is not retiring this term, which lasts until the Supreme Court's new year kicks off in October. Justices tend to hire their clerks two to three years in advance, although

The Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed on Friday that the Strait would be open, albeit using the Iranian-approved route. But he immediately got in trouble for what he said, because he didn't address the U.S. blockade in his tweet. As President Donald Trump said, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ships continued. The attacks showed the chaos their leadership is in. The other main negotiator, Mohammad Ghalibaf, after likely seeing what happened with Araghchi, reneged on the deal and said it would remain closed until the blockade stopped. So then they decided to punctuate their tirade by firing on ships on Saturday.

The Supreme Court handed environmental plaintiffs a unanimous defeat on Friday, ruling that Chevron USA can fight its Louisiana coastal damage lawsuit in federal court rather than the sympathetic state-court venue that produced a nearly three-quarter-billion-dollar verdict against the company. The 8-0 decision in Chevron USA Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish vacated a Fifth Circuit ruling and remanded the case back to the lower courts. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion, joined by six colleagues; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson concurred in the judgment separately. Justice Samuel Alito took no part in the case, having recused himself due to his financial interest in ConocoPhillips, the parent of Burlington Resources Oil and Gas Co.,

CAIRO — The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz quickly escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade choking off Iranian ports. Confusion over the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict. The ceasefire between them is due to run out by mid-next week, and Pakistani mediators were working to put together a new round of direct negotiations to keep the truce going.

Although the US.–Iran ceasefire is in effect for the moment (depending on who you ask), President Donald Trump signaled that things could change very quickly if the Islamic Republic doesn’t agree to terms — by Wednesday. Speaking on Air Force One, the president said the clock is ticking. In the meantime, the blockade will stay in force: President Donald Trump said late Friday he may end the ceasefire with Iran unless a long-term agreement is reached by Wednesday. "Maybe I won't extend it, but the blockade is going to remain," Trump told reporters on Air Force One. "So you have a blockade, and unfortunately we have to start dropping bombs again."

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is under fire after a one-word social media post fueled accusations he was a "traitor" cheering against the United States amid the war in Iran. "Awesome," Murphy wrote on X in response to a post reporting that 26 ships in Iran's shadow fleet have made it past the US blockade in the Gulf of Oman. Murphy’s post adds to his long-running criticism of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and revived scrutiny over his past posture toward Iran, giving critics fresh ammunition to cast the Connecticut Democrat as hostile to U.S. interests. Social media commenters unleashed on Murphy for the message, with some asking if his account was "hacked"

Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a redistricting referendum that will allow the state legislature to redraw its congressional maps outside the normal cycle in a manner expected to favor Democrats. The Associated Press called the contest in favor of the yes campaign just before 9:00 p.m., with 84% of precincts reporting. As of press time, "yes" stood at just over 50% of the vote. The state currently has six Democratic members of Congress and five Republicans. The planned Democratic map is expected to produce 10 Democratic-leaning seats and one Republican-leaning seat.

Hungarian legislation shielding minors from exposure to LGBTQI+ dogma violates European Union (E.U.) law and hurts respect for human rights and equality, the bloc’s court ruled Tuesday. The European Court of Justice said Hungary’s legislation, first proposed in 2021 by the government of outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, “stigmatizes and marginalizes” LGBTQI+ persons and their feelings, and fails to uphold the E.U.’s prohibition of discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation, AP reports. Hungary’s law specifically prohibited the display of content to minors that depicts homosexuality or gender change, while also providing harsher penalties for crimes of pedophilia, and had been challenged for some time by the E.U. and its courts.
