Islamophobia
Less than a month after Islamic radicals executed the worst terrorist attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust, the White House announced a national strategy to counter… Islamophobia.
KJP: "For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents."
Details: Despite yesterday’s claim from the FBI that antisemitic threats are at a historic level, Kamala Harris released a cringeworthy video detailing the White House’s plan. The news comes as Arab-American support of President Biden plummeted from 59% on election day 2020, to just 17% today.
Antisemitism: The surging number of antisemitic threats is most pronounced on college campuses. After a junior at Cornell issued death threats to Jewish students, the university announced classes were canceled today due to the “extraordinary stress.” A Jewish student at Harvard was mobbed by pro-Hamas demonstrators chanting “shame.” Anti-Israel activists in New York City continue to tear down the posters of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. But let’s talk about Islamophobia.

Target Lies
Becky Quick on CNBC asked the CEO of Target about the company’s decision to offer children transgender swimsuits and the company’s partnership with a manufacturer who regularly used Satanic language. The Target CEO denied both.
He’s lying and here’s the proof:
Target offered “tuck-friendly” swimwear for children designed to assist children who were transitioning genders.
Target partnered with U.K.-based brand Abprallen to sell LGBTQ-themed merchandise during Pride Month. Abprallen routinely incorporated messages like "Satan respects pronouns" into branded material.
Afghanistan
Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan is still playing out in the Middle East to this day.
Details: When the Taliban were allowed to retake control of Afghanistan, many Afghans fled to neighboring Pakistan to avoid being subjected to the Taliban’s rule. Now, Pakistan is deporting hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees back to their native homeland.
Related: In other news pertaining to poor decisions from President Biden, the White House’s 2021 removal of Yemen’s Houthi rebels from the terrorist watchlist is under fresh new scrutiny as the group has fired multiple rounds of rockets at Israel. 14 Senate Republicans signed this letter asking the White House to restore the proper designation.
More Biden Problems
Minnesota has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1976 — the longest such run in the country. And yet, Biden is statistically tied with former president Trump in a recent poll of Minnesota voters, with 40% support to Mr. Trump’s 38%. The poll found 14% saying they would back another candidate and 8% were undecided.

Forgot one.
20 house republicans joined every democrat to kill the censoring of Talib.
Rinos are a big problem and presses me to wonder if the republicans really do have a majority in the house. When you have 20 republicans who may as well be democrats for how they vote.
For one of the best takes on so-called Islamophobia, read Brendan O'Neill's book A Heretic's Manifesto: Essays on the Unsayable. His chapter on what he calls Islamocensorship (censorship against criticism of Islam) is eye-opening and brilliant. Recommended by Michael Shellenberger, the book is a page-turner on free speech.
