Jesse Watters Schools Jessica Tarlov on the Houston ICE Shooting

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/07/15/jesse-watters-schools-jessica-tarlov-on-the-houston-ice-shooting-n4955052

Quote
An ICE agent fatally shot a man in Houston on Tuesday morning after the man tried to run him over during a vehicle stop. According to the agency, federal agents were conducting a targeted enforcement operation when Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, tried to evade arrest. The agency says Salgado Araujo attempted to ram an ICE vehicle, refused multiple verbal commands, and then tried to run over an agent, who fired his weapon in self-defense.
...
On Tuesday's episode of The Five, Jesse Watters wasn't having it, and his leftist co-host Jessica Tarlov learned that the hard way.

"All right, so the bullet holes are right through the front windshield," Watters observed. "So this wasn't a side shot. The car was coming at the officer, we think, and they'll do a review. And if he's, you know, guilty of something negligent, then he'll face justice. Or if the person drove at him and he was defending his life, then that's it."

When Watters asked why Salgado Araujo was in the country in the first place, Tarlov offered up the best defense she could muster. "He's working," she said.

Oh, so that makes it okay?

"He shouldn't be here, Jessica," Watters fired back. He noted that Salgado Araujo wasn't even the target of the operation. "And so, if they say pull over, pull over," he said. "Now, this investigation will be over, but we have to grow up. Can we grow up? I mean, there's going to be fatalities in law enforcement situations, especially when there's foreign fugitives who are resisting and running away."

IMO, MSM "reporters" leave out the critical detail that illegals shot and killed were trying to kill ICE officer(s) so systematically, that it is safe to assume that every future shooting will be for that reason, that the activists will lie about it, and the MSM will continue shilling for the activists.

Ghost Students and the Death of Public Trust

https://pjmedia.com/dr-andrew-fox/2026/07/14/ghost-students-and-the-death-of-public-trust-n4955007

Quote
The modern criminal no longer kicks down the front door. He logs onto a government website, steals someone else's identity — or even that of a deceased person — then creates a ghost student who never intends to attend class but collects thousands of dollars in federal financial aid, and disappears before the semester begins.

No shattered windows. No getaway car. No fingerprints. Just another transfer of taxpayer money from honest work to organized fraud.

The No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026, recently passed by the House of Representatives but awaiting final enactment, has received little public attention. That is unfortunate because it raises a far bigger question than student aid:

Does America still possess the moral confidence to defend what belongs to everyone?

Federal financial aid was created for a noble purpose. Pell Grants exist because Congress believed financial hardship should never prevent qualified students from receiving an education. That mission deserves defending.
...
Organized criminal networks now exploit stolen and synthetic identities to create ghost students, siphoning millions of taxpayer dollars while legitimate students wait for aid, colleges drown in fraudulent enrollments, and innocent Americans spend years repairing stolen identities. In fact, the Department of Education reported 1 billion dollars stolen in Pell Grants in 2025.
...
The No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 does not presume every applicant is dishonest. It simply requires additional identity verification when applications display reasonable signs of fraud before taxpayer dollars are distributed.

Critics worry this could inconvenience legitimate students. That concern deserves thoughtful implementation. But prudence should never be mistaken for prejudice.

While it is very probable, I do not "know" know that this was mostly LIEden MalAdministration failure to verify.

Trump administration probes UNRWA over alleged employment of 1,500 terrorists

https://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-administration-probes-unrwa-over-alleged-employment-1500-terrorists

Quote
A controversial United Nations agency is being investigated by U.S. officials for alleged ties to terrorism. The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the U.N. organization for Palestinian refugees, has more than 1,500 employees being probed for links to terrorism.

U.S. officials have increasingly called on U.N. member states to defund UNRWA after decades of concerns about its school materials promoting terror, the presence of Hamas tunnels beneath UNRWA schools and charges that staff members participated in the Hamas terrorist attacks of Oct. 7 against Israel.
...
As the USAID Office of the Inspector General, a law enforcement agency separate from USAID, continues to investigate 1,500 UNRWA employees, it recently announced that it had referred a total of 108 current or former UNRWA staff to the State Department for suspension or exclusion from working with organizations that receive U.S. funds. Those members were found to be involved in the Hamas invasion of southern Israel, or were members of terrorist groups.

A U.S. diplomatic official briefed by USAID OIG investigators confirmed to Fox News Digital that at least 1,500 current or former UNRWA employees are under investigation for ties to foreign terrorist organizations in Gaza.

Reading what is clearly etched between the lines, the UN tried to sacrifice a few patsies to save UNRWA's bailiwick. Trump's OIG ain't buying that bridge. A Dem maladministration would restore UNRWA with apologies, so that's another of the myriad reasons an R victory in 2028 is necessary.

The DUmpster / Democratic Support for Israel Craters to Historic Low, New Poll Finds

Democratic Support for Israel Craters to Historic Low, New Poll Finds

https://www.algemeiner.com/2026/07/08/new-poll-reveals-support-for-israel-eroding-among-democrats/

Support for Israel among Democratic voters has fallen to its lowest level in years, according to a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, underscoring a dramatic realignment within the Democratic Party as the aftermath of the war in Gaza continues to reshape US politics.

The survey found that a majority of Democrats now sympathize more with the Palestinians than with Israelis, while Republicans remain overwhelmingly supportive of Israel — one of the widest partisan divides over the US-Israel relationship in decades.

According to the poll, 56 percent of Democrats say they sympathize more with the Palestinian people, while just 14 percent say they sympathize more with Israelis. Among Republicans, by contrast, 71 percent say they are more sympathetic to Israel, compared with just 7 percent who identify more closely with the Palestinians.

The findings come nearly three years after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, in which approximately 1,200 people were killed and roughly 250 others taken hostage. Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza following the attack, saying its objective was to dismantle Hamas, free the hostages, and prevent another massacre.

The poll suggests Democratic voters have grown increasingly critical of Israel’s conduct during the war. Fifty-eight percent of Democrats now believe the United States is too supportive of Israel, up from 45 percent in an AP-NORC survey conducted in early 2024, while 53 percent say Washington is not supportive enough of the Palestinians — a continued shift away from the bipartisan consensus that defined US support for Israel for decades.

Israel's favorability rating among Democrats fell from 59% in 2018 to 22% in May, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.

1. I support the nationhood of Israel.
I do not necessarily support the actions of its government, though.

Two different things.

4. Absolutely
The conflation of being anti-Israeli government at the moment with being antisemitic is troubling to me. I would say that many Democrats and Americans are anti-Netanyahu but pro Israel being a country and anti-antisemitic. Simply put:

I support the nationhood of Israel and their right to defend that nation
I support the people of Palestine having their right to exist as a separate nation without fear of slaughter by any other nation
I DO NOT support Hamas or their despicable actions
I DO NOT support any despicable actions toward civilians by the IDF in retaliation
I DO NOT support Netanyahu in his leadership of Israel and his actions in the region
I reject any action against Jewish people around the globe as either a response to Netanyahu's actions or as general hatred toward Jews
I reject any action against Palestinians around the globe as either a response to Hamas or general hatred toward Islam
