<p style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking at the America250 kickoff event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday, President Donald Trump took aim at Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor who has made openly communist statements, declaring, “Generations of Americans before us did not shed their blood only so that we could surrender our country to Marxist lunatics on the eve of our 250<sup>th</sup> year.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mamdani has made openly Marxist statements such as “the end goal of seizing the means of production,” while iterating, “we have to continue to elect more socialists.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“As you know, recently we’ve seen some in our political system attempting to overthrow the timeless American principles and pillars of our liberty and replace them with some of the most noxious ideas in human history; ideas that have been proven false,” President Trump stated. “Members of Congress and even former presidents have been openly embracing vile creeds such as socialism, Marxism, and straight-up communism.”</p>
<p><strong><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a></strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Then he turned to Mamdani: “In New York, they’re trying to elect a communist, Zohran Mamdani, the guy who wants to defund the police, take over the stores, and run the stores and have the people hand out goods. And when everything falls apart, it always does; it always works that way; it never has worked any other way, anarchy and dictatorships prevail.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This guy is a communist at the highest level and he wants to destroy New York,” he asserted. “I love New York and we’re not gonna let him do that. Generations of Americans before us did not shed their blood only so that we could surrender our country to Marxist lunatics on the eve of our 250<sup>th</sup> year.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Trump then made a fateful promise, finishing with a flourish: “As President of the United States, I am proclaiming here and now that America is never going to be communist in any way, shape, or form. “</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“And that includes New York City,” he concluded.</p>

Trump Tears Into ‘Marxist Lunatic’ Mamdani, Honors American Heroes In Bold Rebuke

CONTINUE READING

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mike Waltz, whom President Trump has nominated to become UN Ambassador, condemned the United Nations, saying it routinely displayed “pervasive antisemitism” as he testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing regarding his nomination.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We must also challenge pervasive antisemitism. From 2015 to 2023, the General Assembly passed 154 resolutions against Israel versus 71 against all other nations combined,” he noted. “UNRWA, in Gaza, with its staff involved in the October 7 massacre, its schools teaching antisemitic hate, must be dismantled. The reappointment of special rapporteur Francesca Albanese —with her calls to boycott American companies doing business with Israel — highlights this bias. President Trump’s executive order, Chairman Risch, your Stand With Israel Act, require withholding funds from such bodies. I fully support Rep. Elise Stefanik’s proposal for an Abraham Accords caucus within the UN.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Asked what specific actions he could take to “shut down the pervasive antisemitism at the UN,” Waltz replied, “It is pervasive, and I could probably spend the rest of this hearing highlighting the antisemitic activities, one aspect of which is Article VII of the Human Rights council; Israel is the only nation with a standing mandate to highlight its ‘human rights abuses’ every single meeting and it’s been going on for decades.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">More information about how the UN uses Article VII to unfairly target Israel can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnRT8MXuMsk&amp;t=81s">here</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s call for sanctions on the virulently antisemitic UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, Waltz declared, “I support the Secretary’s call for sanctions on the UN Special Rapporteur. I think she is the poster child for antisemitism in the UN. I think we have to take a step back and address and work with both Israel and work with our allies on to why this continues to happen. I understand the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but I will say over and over again: If Hamas would lay down their arms, if they would surrender, if they would stop sacrificing their own people, the fighting would stop  today.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Waltz also targeted the UN for its bias toward China, asserting, “It’s absurd that the world’s second largest economy is treated as a developing nation in most UN agencies. That gives China favorable status; China pushes its personnel at all levels; including bodies that set international standards in aviation, telecommunication, IP. U.S. leadership is essential there; America must have a strong voice. If confirmed, I will work with Secretary Rubio to challenge this influence.”</p>

Trump Un Nominee Mike Waltz Blasts UN For ‘Pervasive Antisemitism’ In Senate Confirmation Hearing

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. bluntly called genocide charges against Israel a “blood libel” and extolled an <a href="https://x.com/SpencerGuard/status/1948010761957052628">essay</a> by a noted war expert that comprehensively refuted the accusation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Kennedy, like his father before him, has always been a staunch supporter of Israel; his father Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who had served as John F. Kennedy’s Attorney General before his stint in the Senate and his 1968 campaign for president, in which he was battling Vice-President Hubert Humphrey in the primaries before Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan murdered him.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The genocide charge is a blood libel. Thank you Major Spencer for this withering deconstruction,” Kennedy wrote.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The genocide charge is a blood libel. Thank you Major Spencer for this withering deconstruction.</p>
<p>&mdash; Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1948196370642608537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 24, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The term “blood libel” vis-à-vis the Jewish people has <a href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/blood-libel">historically referred</a> to the false accusation that Jews murdered non-Jews in order to use their blood in the performance of religious ritual, a particularly ridiculous assertion since Jews are religiously forbidden to eat anything that has blood in it, even as small as a speck of blood in an egg. The charge has been used to foster numerous pogroms in Europe over the centuries, in which Jews were murdered en masse by the hundreds and thousands.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The essay Kennedy championed, by noted war expert John Spencer, who serves as chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute and host of the Urban Warfare Project Podcast, is titled “I’m a War Scholar. There Is No Genocide in Gaza.” Spencer was responding to a New York Times op-ed by <a href="https://www.jns.org/the-new-york-times-genocide-scholar-is-no-neutral-observer/">leftist Brown University professor Omer Bartov</a> that accused Israel of genocide.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"> “Genocide is not defined by a few comments taken out of context, by estimates of casualties or destruction, or by how war looks in headlines or on social media. It is defined by specific intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group in whole or in part,” Spencer noted.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“That is a high legal bar. Bartov did not meet it. He did not even try,” Spencer wrote.  “Since October 7, I have been to Gaza four times embedded with the Israel Defense Forces. I have interviewed the Prime Minister of Israel, the Defense Minister, the IDF Chief of Staff, Southern Command leadership, and dozens of commanders and soldiers on the front lines. I have reviewed their orders, watched their targeting process, and seen soldiers take real risks to avoid harming civilians. Nothing I have seen or studied resembles genocide or genocidal intent.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Spencer ripped Bartov for claiming Prime Minister Netanyahu’s comment on October 7 that Hamas would “pay a huge price” was a call for genocide, noting, “It is what any leader would say after the worst terrorist attack in the nation’s history.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“He also cites Netanyahu’s statements that Hamas would be destroyed and that civilians should evacuate combat zones,” he continued, “That is not evidence of a desire to destroy a people. It is what professional militaries do when fighting an enemy that hides among civilians.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Bartov presents Netanyahu’s reference to ‘remember Amalek’ as a smoking gun,” he stated. “But this is a phrase from Jewish history and tradition. It is engraved at Israel’s Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, and also appears on the Holocaust memorial in The Hague. In both places, it serves as a warning to remain vigilant against threats, not as a call for mass killing.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I have studied the actual orders. They focus on destroying Hamas, rescuing hostages, and protecting civilians whenever possible,” he recalled, continuing:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Israel has taken extraordinary steps to limit civilian harm. It warns before attacks using text messages, phone calls, leaflets, and broadcasts. It opens safe corridors and pauses operations so civilians can leave combat areas. It tracks civilian presence down to the building level. I have seen missions delayed or canceled because children were nearby. I have seen Israeli troops come under fire and still be ordered not to shoot back because civilians might be harmed. </em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Israel has delivered more humanitarian aid to Gaza than any military in history has provided to an enemy population during wartime. More than 94,000 trucks carrying over 1.8 million tons of aid have entered the territory. Israel has supported hospitals, repaired water pipelines, increased access to clean water, and enabled over 36,000 patients to leave Gaza for treatment abroad. The IDF has coordinated millions of vaccine doses, supplied fuel for hospitals and infrastructure, and facilitated the flow of food and medicine through the UN, aid groups, and private partners.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">He derided Bartov’s claim that 58,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including 17,000 children. “But these numbers come from a terrorist organization,” Spencer pointed out. “They mix civilians and fighters and count anyone under 18 as a child, even though Hamas uses teenagers and younger children as combatants. The figures are not independently verified and have been shown to contain false details, including names, ages, and sex.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Civilian deaths are tragic, but in Gaza, they are also part of Hamas’s strategy,” he wrote. “No military operation is judged solely by body counts or destruction figures. If we used Bartov’s logic, every major war would be called genocide. Two million civilians died in the Korean War, an average of 54,000 per month. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars killed hundreds of thousands. The fight against ISIS leveled multiple cities and killed tens of thousands. None of those wars were considered genocidal.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“War is hell,” he declared. “It is inhumane, destructive, and ugly. But it is not automatically a crime. Nations must not target civilians. They must follow the rules of distinction, proportionality, and take all possible care to avoid civilian harm. Israel is doing that. I have seen it.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I have seen restraint, humanitarian aid, and deliberate compliance with legal standards, often at tactical cost,” he wrote. “This is not a campaign of extermination. It is a war against Hamas, a terrorist army embedded in civilian areas by design. The law matters. So does precision. And above all, truth matters.”</p>

RFK Jr. Blasts Genocide Accusations Against Israel: The ‘Charge Is A Blood Libel’

<p style="font-weight: 400;">While most media have seen fit to condemn Israel rather than Hamas for the food shortage in Gaza, the food in roughly 950 trucks inspected and approved by Israel was reportedly rotting on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing because the United Nations will not distribute it.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The Humanitarian Relief Fund (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) today offered the UN to distribute the aid free of charge instead &#8211; and the UN refused. The UN, in collaboration with Hamas, is starving the population of the Gaza Strip while simultaneously pumping up the false campaign of ‘hunger in the Gaza Strip,’” Tamir Morag of Israel’s Channel 14 reported.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The common goal of the UN and Hamas: to force the dissolution of the aid fund and obtain exclusivity for the UN on the entry of food, so that almost all of it will end up in the hands of Hamas instead of the Gaza population,” he added.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">As Andrew Fox of the Henry Jackson Society has pointed out:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>As early as late October 2023, Israel began permitting up to 100 aid trucks into Gaza each day, later increasing the quota to 200 trucks daily by late November. By mid-November 2023, Israeli officials announced they would no longer impose a daily limit on aid trucks. &#8230;</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Crucially, the often-cited figure of “500 trucks per day” that supposedly entered Gaza before the war is a myth. That number originated from a careless statement by UN Secretary-General Guterres, and it spread uncritically through media and NGO reports. In reality, pre-war averages were around 300 trucks per day, of which only about 75 were food trucks. UN data from 2022 shows about 291 trucks per day entering Gaza (via Israel and Egypt), with roughly half carrying construction materials and only about 73 carrying food. &#8230;</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>A massive influx of aid took place during a negotiated pause in hostilities at the start of 2025. During the ceasefire from 18 January to 2 March, Gaza was inundated with approximately 25,200 aid trucks carrying 447,538 tonnes of supplies, nearly 78% of which was food. &#8230;</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Since the start of the war, the militant group has made it clear that it will not take responsibility for civilians. Senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk said, “We are not responsible for Gaza’s civilians. Israel and the UN are responsible.”</em></p>

Hamas killed twelve of our local Gazan aid workers.”</p>
<p>“The problem with Gaza is the United Nations and other international organizations created a system which empowered virtually every bad actor to make a bad situation worse,” he declared.</p>

Shocking Video Shows Hamas Terrorists Gorging Themselves While Gaza Starves

<p style="font-weight: 400;">After Mahmoud Khalil —whom the Trump administration wanted to deport, prompting protests from leftists on campus and in the media — consistently avoided condemning Hamas on a television interview, the Department of Homeland Security bluntly declared, “Mahmoud Khalil refuses to condemn Hamas because he IS a terrorist sympathizer not because DHS ‘painted’ him as one.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Khalil, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-anti-israel-agitator-demands-20-million-from-trump-admin">filed a $20 million claim</a> against the Trump administration this month, was interviewed on CNN by hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown; Brown displayed her own prejudice by quoting a United Nations Special Committee stating it had grounds to say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians and Gaza. Blitzer and Brown supported Khalil as Blitzer selectively played a clip of Khalil making a statement against antisemitism, and Brown insisted, “You&#8217;ve consistently condemned antisemitism before and since your arrest.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The hosts conveniently ignored Khalil having led American undergraduates at Columbia University in actions in support of Hamas after its October 7, 2023, attack. “He served as the negotiator on behalf of the occupying students with the university, pressuring the administration to accommodate student demands based on their illegal activity. He helped organize an illegal encampment on the campus that denied access to ‘Zionist’ students,” JNS <a href="applewebdata://187BEFC8-51EE-4818-A3C5-5F1D4D558027/v">noted</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their actions on October 7?” Brown asked.</p>
<p>“I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop,” Khalil dodged. “But what I don&#8217;t want to get into is &#8212; no. I am clear with condemning all civilians. I&#8217;m very straight in my position in that part. But it&#8217;s disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It is fair to ask you about whether you can condemn Hamas because the Trump administration has claimed that you are a Hamas sympathizer. So, it&#8217;s very important to actually ask that question in this broad conversation,” Brown persisted.</p>
<p>“Yes. I simply asked and protested the war in Palestine,” Khalil dodged again. “That&#8217;s what I did. That&#8217;s my duty as a Palestinian, as a human being right now, is to ask for the stop of the killing in my home country. And that&#8217;s consistent with who I am. I&#8217;m a firm believer in international law and human rights and all my values come from that. &#8230; And that&#8217;s why I wouldn&#8217;t really engage in much into such questions on condemnation or not, because selective condemnation is not &#8212; wouldn&#8217;t get us anywhere.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">DHS issued this response to Khalil’s appearance on CNN: “Mahmoud Khalil refuses to condemn Hamas because he IS a terrorist sympathizer not because DHS ‘painted’ him as one. He ‘branded’ himself as an antisemite through his own hateful behavior and rhetoric. It is a privilege to be granted a visa or green card to live and study in the United States of America. The Trump Administration acted well within its statutory and constitutional authority to detain Khalil, as it does with any alien who advocates for violence, glorifies and supports terrorists, harasses Jews, and damages property.”</p>

Trump Admin Labels Mahmoud Khalil ‘A Terrorist Sympathizer’ After He Refuses To Condemn Hamas

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired back on Tuesday after former President Barack Obama issued a statement attacking her claims and those of President Donald Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe that Obama and his team manipulated intelligence to sabotage Trump’s first term.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader,” Trump said. “Hillary Clinton was right there with him, and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, and so were the rest of them — [former FBI Director Jim] Comey, [former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper, the whole group. They tried to rig an election, and then they got caught.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Obama’s statement followed the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-receives-tusli-gabbards-criminal-referral-for-obama-russia-intel-controversy-report?author=Daniel+Chaitin&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=30&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=DOJ+Receives+Tulsi+Gabbard%E2%80%99s+Criminal+Referral+For+Obama+Russia+Intel+Controversy%3A+Report">reportedly</a> confirming it had received a criminal referral from Gabbard. DNI files have shown that on December 7, 2016, an intelligence assessment reiterated that Russia did not interfere with the 2016 election infrastructure. Still, the next day, the editor of that assessment canceled the brief “based on new guidance.” The day after that, Obama convened the National Security Council principals and ordered a new assessment. On January 6, 2017, the new unclassified assessment was released.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,&#8221; Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush stated on Tuesday. &#8220;But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s the art of deflection, coming from Obama, as well as his friends, who are still in Congress today&#8230;really all basically saying that exact same statement, which doesn’t actually address the issue that was revealed in great detail in the over 100 documents that we released last week and the documents that we will be releasing later this week,” Gabbard told guest-host Lara Trump on Fox News&#8217;s Will Cain Show.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The intelligence community had one assessment, that Russia did not have the intent or capability to try to impact the outcome of the U.S. election leading up to  Election Day,” she continued. “The same assessment was made after Donald Trump was elected by the American people as president in 2016 defeating Hillary Clinton. And it wasn’t until after that pulled president’s daily briefing document that you referenced that the Principals Committee was called and the National Security Council, and President Obama then directed his then DNI, James Clapper, to lead the effort to create this new intelligence community assessment.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Neither the message from President Obama’s office, neither the statements coming from Democrats in Congress today and their friends in the propaganda media, none of them are addressing this fact: that there was a shift, a 180-degree shift from the intelligence community’s assessment leading up to the election to the one that President Obama directed be produced after Donald Trump won the election that completely contradicted those assessments that had come previously,” she stated.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“You saw John Brennan, James Clapper and James Comey stated with high confidence this January intelligence community assessment that they drafted at the direction of President Obama,” she pointed out. “The fact is that they used already discredited information like the Steele dossier; they knew it was discredited at that time yet they used it as a source for this document that they claimed to have high confidence in. They used intelligence that some of these intelligence community professionals rejected previously because of the lack of credibility and the lack of the ability to vet with any kind of confidence whether or not that information or intelligence was accurate and could be used for an assessment.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“There’s a long laundry list of facts and intelligence reporting that directly contradicts the statement coming from President Obama’s office and those who are trying to deflect away from what actually happened, which was after Donald Trump was elected, led by President Obama, there was an effort to create in a doc, a document that was created to serve as a foundation for what would be a years-long coup against President Trump, therefore trying to subvert the will of the American people who sent him to the White House in 2016,” she asserted.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m very encouraged by the fact that we have whistleblowers coming forward who are intelligence community professionals who were there when this happened and who were disgusted by it and are heartened at the possibility and the hope that the truth will see the light of day,&#8221; Gabbard added.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The most important thing is that the American people see accountability, which is why we are referring and have already sent all of the documents that we have currently and any others that we get in the future to the Department of Justice to bring about that accountability, to ensure that the integrity of our democratic republic exists,” she concluded.</p>

Human folly is hilarious—especially when that folly manifests as atheism. That’s why I’m excited about today’s video: I’ll be reacting to Atheist TikToks in which atheists attempt to disprove the truth of the Bible. Man, oh man, this is going to be fun.

In this episode, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with behavioral researcher and bestselling author Vanessa Van Edwards to unpack the secret language of nonverbal communication. From the handshake that builds trust to the subtle cues that sabotage careers, they explore how posture, eye contact, tone, and gesture shape perception—often before a single word is spoken. Drawing on Vanessa’s research and her own journey as a “recovering awkward person” turned master communicator, the conversation spans job interviews, power dynamics, mirroring, charisma, and how to read a room at its most fundamental level. Learn why neck ratios matter, vocal fry backfires, and presence begins long before you speak.
