Marco Rubio’s State Department acts to keep the Glastonbury jihadists out of America

 England’s King Richard the Lionheart (1157-1189) was a ferocious military leader who earned his stripes during the partially successful Third Crusade, when European Christendom fought to free Christians in the Holy Land from the yoke of the Muslim Ayyubid dynasty. Since 1860, his statue has stood in front of the Houses of Parliament, a reminder of England’s willingness to resist Islamic jihad.

Today, thanks to virtually unlimited Muslim immigration, it’s very likely that Britain will be a Muslim country within a decade or two, not because it has a Muslim majority population, but because it has a Muslim dominated population. The latest example of this was the outbreak of jihad at England’s famed Glastonbury music festival. Thankfully, Marco Rubio is not about to let that happen in America.

Supreme Court says parents can opt kids out of school district's LGBT curriculum

 The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that parents can opt their children out of a Maryland school district's LGBT-themed curriculum materials over religious objections, reversing an appeals court ruling.

In a 6-3 decision released Friday, the high court ruled in Mahmoud, Tamer, et al. v. Taylor, Thomas W., et al. that Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland cannot force children to be exposed to LGBT-themed books in the curriculum. After a massive demonstration in 2023, a religiously diverse group of parents challenged the school district's refusal to grant opt-outs for lessons that include LGBT literature. 

Justice Samuel Alito authored the opinion of the court, being joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas.

"A government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses 'a very real threat of undermining' the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill," wrote Alito.

"And a government cannot condition the benefit of free public education on parents' acceptance of such instruction. Based on these principles, we conclude that the parents are likely to succeed in their challenge to the Board's policies."

The high court granted the parents a preliminary injunction against the MCPS' inclusion of LGBT-themed books in the curriculum on religious grounds.

Texas State Government Gives $13 Million to Islamist Mosques and Community Groups

 The Texas state government has handed over $13 million of federal and state monies to mosques and community groups aligned with Islamist movements such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as hostile foreign regimes.

In sermons reviewed by the Middle East Forum and published in this report, officials and imams of beneficiary mosques expressed rhetoric that was openly pro-terror and anti-semitic.

In two instances, beneficiary mosques appear to be directly partnered with the Iranian regime.

Twelve of the eighteen Islamic organizations that received monies from the the state of Texas were found, in an investigation carried out by the Middle East Forum, to be under varying levels of Islamist influence.

These twelve organizations with extremist links received almost 99.4 percent of the funds provided by the Texas state government to Islamic organizations.

While a few thousand dollars in the state government’s data consists of the return of escheated funds, the vast majority of the millions spent appear to be the result of direct state grants, subsidy programs, and federal sub-awards managed by the Texas state government.

Rogue states Russia and Iran attempting to destroy MAGA movement with disinformation bot army

 Russia and Iran are targeting the Make America Great Again movement and trying to “destabilize the right from within,” according to a new report.

Both rogue states are using tens of thousands of social media bots to amplify untrue voices and opinions “masquerading as MAGA loyalists,” to cause chaos and confusion and question US leadership, The Post has learned.

The bots are automated software applications that mimic human activity on social media.

They are used to amplify real-life influencers who post untrue “false flag” narratives designed to discredit President Donald Trump and his conservative stalwarts, according to a bombshell new report from the Network Contagion Research Institute, a politically neutral nonprofit who study extremism on the web.

War With Iran Should Be Determined by Congressional Debate, Not Presidential Whim

 The debate over a U.S role in Israel's war with Iran raises two big questions: 1) Should the U.S. intervene? 2) Who gets to make that decision? At stake are human lives, expense, and potential repercussions. 

The second question also involves constitutional responsibilities long neglected by Congress in favor of letting presidents take credit, or blame, for military actions. While President Donald Trump seems inclined to continue the tradition of unilateral warmaking, lawmakers skeptical of U.S. intervention are asserting themselves. They're right that the legislative branch should have a say.

Middle-aged man dressing as a little girl given license to drive a school bus—hangs a sign in window that reads ‘Lolita Line’

 Tell me you’re a pedophile without telling me you’re a pedophile: If you’re a man, and you dress in frilly pink mini-frocks with knee-high stockings before heading off to your professional job, which is a bus route for an elementary school, and then you add “Lolita Line” to the bus identification placard—a nod to Vladimir Nabokov’s Humbert Humbert, or perhaps the colloquial name of Jeffrey Epstein’s plane (which is also a Nabokov reference)—you’re probably (but most definitely) a demented pervert with a thing for children, like this guy:

John Macarthur's wife beating and pedo protecting Church facing decline in donations

 Grace Community Church (GCC), the influential evangelical megachurch led for 56 years by radio preacher John MacArthur, will slash spending by 20% in its new fiscal year beginning July 1, a Father’s Day announcement revealed.

“For the first time in more than a decade we have faced the effects of a financial recession in our giving this past fiscal year,” said MacArthur in the statement read by GCC college pastor Austin Duncan. MacArthur, who’s preached only once since last July due to health concerns, turns 86 on June 19.

Despite what he called “some large donations” in 2023 and 2024, the current budget appears unsustainable, MacArthur said. “As we look ahead to the coming fiscal year, starting July 1, our elders recognize the need to reduce our budget at the church by about 20%.”

Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter is former pastor, Tim Walz appointee

 Vance Luther Boelter, the suspect in the weekend shooting of Democratic Minnesota lawmakers, is a former pastor and an appointee to the Governor's Workforce Development Board. He was named to the board by both current Gov. Tim Walz and former Gov. Mark Dayton.

The 57-year-old is accused of fatally shooting state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home in a Minneapolis suburb on Saturday. He is also suspected of shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their residence farther north.

His ministry background includes international missionary work, particularly in Africa, where he preached at LaBorne Matadi, a church in the Congo, according to The Wall Street Journal.

An archived site for Revoformation Ministries states that Boelter preached in the Congo and once sought out "militant Islamists" to share the Gospel. In a sermon posted online, he said, "I met Jesus when I was 17 years old, and I gave my life to him."

LaBorne Matadi has posted photos of his sermons on Facebook. He and his wife, Jenny, have five children and once operated a dog breeding business called Praetorian Shilohs, which specialized in Shiloh shepherds.

A longtime roommate, David Carlson, told WSJ that Boelter was deeply religious, opposed abortion and voted for President Donald Trump. However, Carlson was quoted as saying he saw no warning signs that he might commit violence.

The Iranian Mullahs are learning Montezuma’s lesson

 I was reading the Mossad X account, which tweeted about regional interests that have come out in support of Israel. Thinking about this, I realized that I’ve seen this before—and then it hit me: We’re witnessing the fall of the Aztecs.

The Aztec Empire was a marvelous place: Well-organized, scientifically and architecturally innovative, and very, very wealthy. It was also a military powerhouse, eventually becoming the dominant power in the region.

However, as far as the Aztecs were concerned, their success was owed to their gods, and their gods were hungry gods who especially loved human hearts. While the gods would occasionally crave Aztec hearts as the highest form of sacrifice, the priests concluded that they would be satisfied with hearts from the prisoners the Aztecs collected during their successful regional wars.

The process was brutal. Wikipedia (always a friend to indigenous people and their cultures) describes what happened:

In the usual procedure of the ritual, the victim would be taken to the top of the temple. The victim would then be laid on a stone slab, a chacmool, by four priests, and their abdomen would be sliced open by a fifth priest with a ceremonial knife made of flint. ... The cut was made in the abdomen and went through the diaphragm. The priest would rip out the heart and it would then be placed in a bowl held by a statue of the honored god, and the body would then be thrown down the temple's stairs.

Ouch. And it wasn’t just heart removal:

The victim could be shot with arrows, die in gladiatorial style fighting, be sacrificed as a result of the Mesoamerican ballgame, burned, flayed after being sacrificed, or drowned.

In one particularly wild four-day spree to consecrate a new pyramid, the Aztecs reported that they had ripped the hearts out of 80,400 prisoners. Even pro-Aztec revisionists aren’t able to push that number below 4,000 being eviscerated in four days.

This brutality explains why the Spaniards, under Hernán Cortés, conquered the mighty Aztec empire with 600 men, 15 horsemen, and 15 cannons—or so we were told in my middle school history books. In fact, Cortés had at his back alliances with thousands of surrounding non-Aztec warriors who were anxious to see the Aztecs gone for good. The momentum came from Cortés, his horses, and cannon, but the muscle was from everyone else.

Fast forward a few hundred years to Iran. Since 1979, Iran has been the terrorist scourge of the Middle East, as well as large parts of the world. Its particular brand of the Shia faith is apocalyptic, and many among Iran’s leadership believe that it is their responsibility to bring about this apocalypse.

In other words, like the Aztecs, the Mullahs are a regional bully and, like the Aztecs, they are willing to sacrifice lives—in their case, millions, not just tens of thousands—for religious reasons. Once Iran went nuclear, there was every reason to believe that some among the Mad Mullahs would happily light the fuses to set the whole world on fire.

Into this dark abyss came Israel. Thanks to twenty years of planning and some wonderful misdirection from a strongly supportive Donald Trump, Israel has shown that the Mullahs aren’t all-powerful. They can be defeated. We don’t have to be their sacrifices.

And just as happened when Cortés and his small military band stepped up to take on the Aztecs, who truly were the Nazis of Mesoamerica, the surrounding indigenous people of the Middle East are stepping in to support Israel, whether practically or morally. Thus, Jordan has used its air defenses to intercept drones and allowed flights over its territory, while Saudi Arabia and the UAE have allegedly shared radar intelligence.

Supreme Court sides with straight woman in job discrimination case

 The United States Supreme Court has revived a lawsuit filed by an Ohio woman who claims she was denied an employment opportunity because she's heterosexual.

In a unanimous opinion issued Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled in Marlean Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services that a lower court decision against Ames is to be reconsidered.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored the court opinion, taking issue with an earlier appeals court decision which denied Ames’ complaint on the basis of “background circumstances.”

The “background circumstances” rule stipulates that a person belonging to a majority group has a greater burden of proof to show that they were discriminated against on the basis of identity.

“We hold that this additional ‘background circumstances’ requirement is not consistent with Title VII’s text or our case law construing the statute,” wrote Jackson. “Accordingly, we vacate the judgment below and remand for application of the proper prima facie standard.”

Jackson noted that the earlier ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit against Ames wrongfully used the “background circumstances” standard.

Australia bans a pro-Israel speaker while allowing pro-Hamas speakers

 For most of my life, Australia appeared to be a combination of English and American virtues. It was a big, free-wheeling country, with brave, strong people who nevertheless hewed to the best British principles of liberty. That image got destroyed when large swaths of Australia became the most tyrannical places on earth during COVID. Now, Australia has dragged itself further into the tyranny gutter by refusing admission to Hillel Fuld, an Israeli-American who speaks out in defense of Israel amidst the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

You might not have heard of Hillel Fuld, although I bet that you remember his brother, Ari. Both Ari and Hillel were born in New York, but immigrated to Israel in 1994 with their family. Ari got married and raised his family in his new country. He was a tough guy: a 4th-degree black belt who served as a paratrooper in the Israeli military.

In September 2018, a video caught Ari Fuld being murdered by a Muslim Arab who stabbed him in the back as part of one of the Muslim’s many knife intifadas, which started in Israel before migrating to the rest of the world. (Note: Jihadis practice terrorism in Israel and then export it.) However, before he died, Fuld was able to chase his killer and shoot him, preventing the killer from attacking more people.

Democrats make fools of themselves in the wake of the Elon-Trump rift

 Republicans were pained to see the quarrel between Elon Musk and Donald Trump over the "Big Beautiful Budget" given our affection for both men, and admiration for each of their sacrifices and achievements.

Musk was right to question the rise in government spending after all he put in to cut it, and after all he did to elect Republicans, but made some below-the-belt hits on Trump that probably ruined a full reconciliation -- phony Epstein claims that would have been exposed long ago if true, and impeachment calls. Trump, who had a lot to work with around Elon's assorted babymamas and reputed drug use, was able to restrain himself from throwing any of that into the argument, so he comes out looking better, and it's likely most Americans will rally around him as a result. I chalk up Elon's tantrum to his reported Asperger's syndrome and forgive him, but ugh, don't ever do that again, Elon.

The fight was a gift to the left, of course, which foams at the mouth in hate of both men. But being the left, it was satisfying to see that they found a way to blow it, losing any political advantage they might have taken from it:

Huckabee Demands NYT, CNN, AP Retract Fake News Stories on Gaza Aid Deaths

U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee demanded Monday that the New York Times, CNN, and the Associated Press, among others, retract false reporting that Israeli soldiers killed Palestinian civilians at an American aid site in Gaza. 

 Huckabee linked the fake news published by these outlets directly to the antisemitic terror attack Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, where an illegal alien shouting pro-Palestinian slogans set Jewish protesters on fire.

Terror Attack in Colorado: Fire-Bomber Targets Pro-Israel Demonstration UPDATE: Illegal Alien From Egypt!

 Multiple sources say Mohamad Soliman is the name of the perpetrator, but I don’t know if we have an official confirmation of that name. At any rate, this was a particularly gruesome attack:

A suspect is in custody after an attack Sunday on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado. At least five people were injured and witnesses said the suspect threw Molotov cocktails that burned some or all of the victims, who were part of a march for Israeli hostages.
The FBI called it a targeted terrorist attack but Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said at a news conference a little over two hours after the attack that it was too early in the investigation to make that determination. . . .
As a result of the attack, which happened at 1:26 p.m. local time, three blocks of Pearl Street have been evacuated and remained closed to the public as of 6 p.m. Investigators said there is a vehicle of interest in that zone, but it’s not clear whether it belongs to the suspect.
The people who were injured were outside the historic Boulder County Courthouse at 13th Street and Pearl Street. A burn scar could be seen in the space in front of the building. Witnesses said they saw people writhing on the ground and people running with water to try to help immediately afterward. UCHealth confirmed that two victims were flown by helicopter to its burn unit.
A walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza was taking place in Boulder’s downtown. Two sources said witnesses told investigators the suspect allegedly yelled “End Zionist!,” during the attack.
FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino described the incident as a terrorist attack and said around 3:30 p.m. that FBI agents are at the scene. Boulder police said the attack is under investigation and are working to determine if that is the case, and that it’s too early to speculate on the attacker’s motive.

Yeah, a guy named “Mohamad” throws fire bombs at Jews, yelling about Zionism, but “it’s too early to speculate on the attacker’s motive.”
